    "Liu Jin, what else do you have to do?"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin who stood up, smiled and asked.

    The other ministers who were preparing to go home also looked at Liu Jin.

    "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about one thing, and that is our morning court system and work system."

    Liu Jin replied respectfully.

    "Oh, the morning system and the work system?"

    When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested. Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "What do you think?"

    "Your Majesty, the morning court system is a system that has been continued since ancient times. The emperor and ministers have to get up very early every morning to deal with national affairs."

    "Since the emergence of the morning dynasty system, the original intention was to urge the emperor and the ministers in the court to pay attention to national affairs. As the saying goes, the day's plan lies in the morning, and national affairs should be given high attention. The morning dynasty is also to remind the emperor and ministers to shoulder their shoulders.  He shoulders the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the country."

    Liu Jin stood up, thought for a while and spoke slowly.

    In fact, the morning dynasty system existed very early, but it was still more humane before the Song Dynasty. The morning dynasty was later, so everyone could sleep longer.

    Secondly, during the morning court, ministers could still sit and discuss national affairs with the emperor. They did not need to stand or kneel to attend the morning court.

    But by the time of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a workaholic himself, working more than ten hours a day without feeling tired.

    At the same time, he was an emperor who hated officials extremely. For this reason, he also formulated many strict laws, invented many systems that did not exist in previous dynasties, and paid officials very low salaries.

    And some changes were made in the morning dynasty system. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, during the morning dynasty, ministers must get up at midnight and travel half of the capital to the Meridian Gate. At three o'clock in the morning, the ministers arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited.

    When the drum on the Meridian Gate tower beats, the ministers will line up. At about five o'clock in the morning, the bell will ring, the palace gate will open, and all the officials will enter in order. After crossing the Jinshui Bridge and arranging the queue on the square, they will wait to enter.  Morning court in the palace.

    It can be said that this system is really disgusting. When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the morning service, you have to wait for several hours just waiting outside. One or two days are better. The key is that this morning service lasts for many years, day after day.  .

    Even the most energetic politicians will find this a very tiresome thing. Think about it, how painful it is to be woken up to go to the morning after having a good sleep.

    Not only were the ministers bored, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also famous for not falling in love with the morning court. That is to say, diligent emperors like Emperor Hongzhi would insist on going to the morning court every day. Other emperors often spent three days fishing and two days.  On the Internet, I encountered Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Wanli who had not gone to court for more than ten or decades, and they all hated this morning court.

    It¡¯s better in the summer when the weather is hot, and it¡¯s cooler when you get up early. But in autumn and winter, the temperature in Beijing is very low, and it¡¯s really uncomfortable to get up in the morning.

    ??You can imagine how refreshing it feels to get up in the middle of the night to go to the morning court and stand outside the palace gate waiting for several hours during the season when the snow is flying and the dripping water turns to ice.

    Even though these ministers are all wearing mink coats, brocades and satins, it is difficult to withstand the cold weather.

    In spring and summer, when it¡¯s cold or rainy, it¡¯s hard to appreciate the sourness and refreshing feeling of getting up early in the morning.

    In addition to greatly advancing the morning court time, Zhu Yuanzhang also formulated a cumbersome morning court system. Ministers had to stand up to attend morning court and kneel to perform, so that everyone's knees were tied with  Something made of mink fur or the like, otherwise many elderly ministers would not be able to get up if they knelt for a long time.

    From all of this, we can see how disgusting the early Ming Dynasty system was. In many places, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately created it to punish these ministers.

    Such a system is not only hated by the ministers, but also by the emperor. He wakes up too early, day after day, year after year, and the emperor also has a hard time.

    You must know that not only the ministers must pay attention to the etiquette of the morning court, but also the emperor. For example, the emperor must sit upright and maintain dignity at all times, otherwise the censor can spit in your face.

    ??Everyone wants to change the early dynasty system, but no one has dared to propose it. The main reason is because the early dynasty system is an ancestral system, and ancestral system cannot be used.? All adjustments have been made, the most important of which is the introduction of sports and exercise. After exercising every day and sweating, the whole person can feel refreshed, and his body is getting better and better.

    "You're a lazy idiot. You obviously don't want to go to court, but you still say this clearly."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and couldn't help but laugh.

    He himself is a diligent emperor and always insists on going to the morning court. Unless there is something special or he is really uncomfortable, he always insists on going to the morning court.

    However, he had to admit that what Liu Jin said made sense.

    The body of the emperor and ministers is very important to the Ming Dynasty, and sleep is very important to the body. This naturally follows, and delaying the morning court seems to be very important to the Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
