Girl, there's something wrong with you

This is Xie Nvdian's first day in the palace.

She has taken the words of her elders' warning to heart.

One is to have excellent administrative skills.

The second is to have flexible communication skills.

The third is to maintain a high degree of trust and tacit understanding with His Majesty the Emperor.

Although she is still young, as a famous "precocious and talented woman", Xie Nvdian does not think that she will be stumped.

Until Cheng Yuexian placed a stack of documents in front of her.

"You do it first." Cheng Yuexian said lightly.

"Ah, this..." Xie Lingjiang asked hesitantly, "But shouldn't we train first?"

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yuexian asked in confusion, "Isn't it the best way to train directly to start an internship?"

So Xie Nvdian could only start correcting the memorial alone.

Fortunately, Cheng Yuexian did not completely let her "play freely" and gave her an additional booklet with instructions on how to deal with these memorials.

Most of the memorials come from the daily reports of civil and military officials.

If the matter reported is not very important and at least four of the five cabinet ministers have approved it, then it will be approved without any thought.

What counts as important? People, wealth, soldiers, punishment.

For the rest, just "follow the rules".

If the number of votes approved by the Prime Minister is less than four, it means that the cabinet has not reached a consensus on the memorial, and then it can be left unpublished until the cabinet can re-discuss and come up with the result.

The real test of the inner prime minister's skills are those important matters involving people, wealth, military punishment.

All such memorials need to be submitted to His Majesty for review.

The first type of things are things that His Majesty knows and is concerned about. The second type of things are that His Majesty knows and does not care about. The third type of things are that His Majesty does not know, but will most likely pay attention to after knowing them.

Cheng Yuexian said in the booklet that the third category of matters must be marked with a star rating as soon as possible and sent to His Majesty for approval through an electronic process.

The first category of matters shall be summarized and sent to His Majesty once a day.

The second category of matters is summarized and sent to His Majesty once a week.

In addition, after the electronic process is completed, paper documents must also be forwarded to His Majesty for approval for backup.

Regarding the first and second categories of matters, Cheng Yuexian has marked all recorded memorials in the old database.

What Xie Nudian has to do is to roughly read these nearly 10,000 memorials according to the timeline, so as to become familiar with His Majesty's administrative thinking and habits.

When encountering the third type of matter in the future, we can judge whether His Majesty will pay attention to this matter.

The real test here is Xie Lingjiang's ability to judge political affairs and his tacit understanding with Cheng Jinyang.

A good secretary is one who can both work hard and understand the boss!

So Xie Lingjiang worked seriously in the palace for a week.

Errors occur frequently.

First of all, the tacit understanding with His Majesty was not enough. Jiang himself was not sure of many memorials and he was afraid that something would happen if he did not forward them to His Majesty, so he always forwarded them for processing.

This also led to the fact that in the first week of Cheng Yuexian's handover, the amount of memorials corrected by Cheng Jinyang tripled, which directly alerted Cheng Yuexian.

Secondly, it is the judgment of the importance of the memorial.

As mentioned earlier, human resources, military punishment and punishment are the most important matters, and such memorials will definitely be forwarded to His Majesty.

Therefore, sometimes the prime ministers would use Spring and Autumn style to write a large number of long and tedious chores in memorials, and then quietly use one or two sentences to write down the really important things that they did not want His Majesty to interfere with.

Xie Lingjiang read this too quickly and accidentally skipped it and approved it as an unimportant memorial. As a result, another accident occurred...

Cheng Yuexian came over and spoke several times, and the little girl shed tears.

Precocious and wise, his character is still that of a child after all, and he cannot bear the malice and calculations of adults.

So Cheng Yuexian had no choice but to use her personal connections to invite two empresses from the harem to train the little girl.

"Sister Qingqing, sister Qingwan!" Seeing the two of them entering the office, Xie Lingjiang stood up in surprise.

"Xiao Lingjiang, how are you adapting to your new job?" Qingqing greeted her with a smile.

"It's not very good..." It was okay not to say it. As soon as he mentioned this matter, Xiao Lingjiang wanted to cry again.

"Ahem, we have all heard about you." Li Qingwan said with a smile, "I came here just to help you."

The two of them sat down, one on the left and the other on the right, and began to help Xie Lingjiang read the memorial and explain it.

"Repair and expansion of water conservancy facilities... this kind of matter can be left to the technocrats." Li Qingwan looked at the memorial, "And there will be no budget application in this kind of memorial. The budget requires a separate financial allocation process, so you only need to read I can approve it with Zaifu’s opinion.”

"I see." Xie Lingjiang said thoughtfully, "For more professional memorials, you can directly refer to Zaifu's opinions."

"The adjustment of the performance appraisal of civil servants is a big pitfall!" Miss Qingqing said with a smile, "Does the cabinet really dare to submit any memorial to the top now? If we encounter such a big pitfall in the future, as long as the Prime Minister does not approve everything , you just call them back until they collectively reach a consensus."

"I understand." Xie Lingjiang suddenly realized. "The cabinet does not want to bear the anger of grassroots civil servants, so it is trying to confuse the outside world. What we have to do is to extract His Majesty."

"Yes, Xiao Lingjiang is very savvy." Qingqing touched her head.

So Xie Lingjiang laughed happily.

The three of them continued working, and it was evening before they knew it.

"Thank you for your hard work, it's time for dinner." Cheng Jinyang took his two children and pushed the door in with their lunch boxes.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Lingjiang quickly stood up and saluted, "Also, I have met your two highnesses."

"There is no need to be polite when thanking Nv Dian. We are just accompanying our father." Cheng Dezhen said first.

Cheng Qianling smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Dezhen is the son of Cheng Jinyang and Li Qingwan. He has been calm and decent since he was a child. Although the awakened bloodline is "physical activation", he is still loved by his father.

Cheng Qianling is the son of Cheng Jinyang and Chu Qingqing. He is relatively shy in personality, so he gets along well with Cheng Dezhen. The awakened bloodline is "gravity", which makes Miss Qingqing often joke with Teacher Li.

"How have you been adapting recently?" Cheng Jinyang asked Xie Ling Jiangdao.

"Reply to Your Majesty." Xie Lingjiang raised his head nervously, but was interrupted by Miss Qingqing.

"Ling Jiang, don't be too polite to him. Although he is serious and serious on the outside, he dislikes these etiquettes the most in private."

"That's right." Cheng Jinyang said with a straight face, "If you want to salute me, I will talk to you like an emperor."

Xie Lingjiang was a little at a loss and muttered:

"that……"

"Xiao Lingjiang, why didn't I see you so embarrassed when you were with us before?" Li Qingwan asked with a smile.

"After all, there is a difference between king and minister." Xie Lingjiang said in a low voice.

Then the room was filled with everyone's cheerful laughter.

Qingqing and Qingwan thought Xiao Lingjiang was interesting, but Cheng Jinyang was more thoughtful.

The Great Zhou Empire now has a total of nine first-grade superpowers, all of whom are from traditional noble families.

Among them, Yang, Chu, Xing, and Li favored neutrality, while Wang, Lu, Zheng, and Cui favored gentry republic.

Such a pattern resulted in the gentry forces in both the ruling and opposition parties gaining the upper hand.

Although he was determined to support the civilian forces, the development of the latter was too slow and was often attacked by the noble forces.

Fortunately, as an emperor and husband, he still maintains influence over Yipin's wives, preventing them from rebelling against him in the family.

Of course, if it involves bringing the demon and the former princess back to the palace, that's another matter.

Both the inner palace and the outer court are occupied by nobles, which is the current status quo. Supporting the Xie family, which has no first-grade superpowers, is a very specific move.

With Xie Youdu as the foreign minister and Xie Lingjiang as the internal minister, it was necessary to cut a huge hole in the seemingly monolithic nobles.

Then from this hole, he used the ingenious means of fighting without breaking through to achieve his goal, and finally brought them into the palace for reunion.

This path has already been taken by the princess sister's father, and she just needs to "follow the routine".

Cheng Jinyang looked at Xie Lingjiang who was struggling in front of the case, and his expression became gentler.

Because of this, he has almost unlimited tolerance and patience for Xiao Lingjiang's occasional mistakes.
