Of course, he can provide necessary and powerful help when his subordinates need him most.
Regarding the review procedure of the Ministry of Punishment, it obviously involves only the struggle between the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Therefore, although other ministers in the palace feel that it is not necessary, they do not want to offend either party and simply sit on the sidelines.
.
In this case, no one can convince anyone, so the emperor naturally needs to make a decision.
In fact, this is what the ministers present are most concerned about.
In the Hanlin Academy just now, the emperor obviously used the canon system as an excuse to suppress Qingliu, which was already on the decline.
So now, facing a more powerful Metropolitan Procuratorate, what will the emperor do, or will he still refute Chen Yi on the grounds of legal regulations?
I'm afraid it's difficult!
The Hanlin Academy is known as the Qingliu Huaxuan, but in the end it is just a matter of being in charge of Wenhan. The reason why it is valuable is because of one's birth and being closest to the emperor, not because of one's own authority.
Therefore, it was very easy for the emperor to manipulate the Hanlin Academy.
However, Ke Dao is not someone to be trifled with. These people will impeach the emperor and hundreds of officials. They are not afraid of heaven or earth.
It seems that Chen Yi and Jin Lian are arguing in front of us, but in fact, what is involved is the interests of six subjects and thirteen Tao.
Especially at this time, when military affairs must be done with all the efforts of Ke Dao, if you want to delegate power to the Ministry of Punishments, I am afraid that it will not be possible to get through with a simple sentence of Taizu's old rules.
As the same saying goes, you have the system, I have the routine, you have the ability, and I have the overall situation. If you really talk about it, it’s just a confusing account.
It is true that the emperor may be able to suppress Chen Yi with the code of conduct, but the crowd of more than a hundred science and technology officials is not so easy to block!
So, in the midst of everyone's expectations, Zhu Qiyu raised his hand to signal the two tit-for-tat ministers to temporarily calm down, and said.
"Both gentlemen are the pillars of the country, and what they say is reasonable. As the General Constitution said, I have always felt that although the system is important, the government affairs of the court are complicated and changeable, and they should be adapted as appropriate. This is a common thing. The affairs of the Ministry of Justice
It’s so vast that there shouldn’t be any more burdens, and the military garrison work should indeed be done as quickly as possible, but…”
Sure enough, there will inevitably be a turning point.
Hearing the word 'however', the elders pricked up their ears in unison, wondering what reason the emperor would come up with.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Qiyu sighed softly, with a rare hint of shyness on his face, and said.
"You guys should also be considerate of me!"
What the hell?
The elders were originally concentrating on thinking about what kind of long speech the emperor would say, but in the end, they were waiting for such a sentence.
For a moment, the ministers didn't know how to react.
However, Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry and said.
"I, the vassal king, came to the throne by chance and succeeded to the throne. I know that I was not born with talents. Therefore, since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard, sleeping and sleeping, forgetting to eat and sleep, listening to advice, and implementing great policies. I am deeply afraid that I will not be able to do anything.
I have acted inappropriately, I have betrayed the inheritance of my ancestors, and I have been entrusted by all the people. I am worried about you every day, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."
"It is my duty as an emperor. If the affairs of the court are smooth and all the people are safe, I will have no complaints even if I work extremely hard. However, all the ministers in the court should also sympathize with my hard work. In recent days, I have had minor illnesses from time to time, and the imperial physician has treated me
Afterwards, I said it was due to overwork, so I made this suggestion."
"The military camp is a major national plan. As you gentlemen have said, this matter cannot be delayed. However, once it is implemented, countless cases will follow. I believe that the various yamen of the imperial court can cooperate sincerely to handle government affairs. However, I have to deal with it on a daily basis.
Government affairs have been warned many times by the imperial physician not to overwork them. In the military camp, all the government affairs are complicated, and it is really difficult for me to deal with them one by one."
"Therefore, I ordered the Ministry of Punishment to review the cases reported by the Ministry of Science and Technology one by one, and give a sentence. This can reduce my fatigue a little, and it will not delay the important affairs. This is my sincere fault."
These words were sincere, but the elders did not react for a long time.
Because, they don't know what to say.
The emperor's many convoluted words actually have one central meaning.
There is too much work, and I won’t be able to finish it after you finish it, so let the Ministry of Punishment share it for me!
Or to put it more bluntly, according to the meaning of the emperor's words, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Punishment are equivalent to the prison version of the cabinet. They are responsible for re-examining the criminal cases submitted by the censor, giving corresponding punishment opinions, and then sending them to
In the palace, it reduces the emperor's burden.
But, there is a difference!
Because the actual responsibility of the cabinet is to draft votes, and draft drafts are just to sort out and summarize the memorials that have been submitted and give preliminary judgments.
But this time, the Ministry of Punishment will be involved in the interrogation.
This is an essential difference.
However, the emperor turned a blind eye, or in other words, deliberately confused this point.
It seems that what the old man has to do is just ask the Ministry of Punishment to help him because he is too busy.
In fact, if the respected Grand Uncle of the Ministry of Rites were here, he would definitely feel the familiar aura of rogueness coming from the emperor.
Yes, this is what Chi Guoguo is doing!
When these words were released, all regulations, overall situation, and established rules were suppressed.
Didn't you hear the emperor say: "In recent days, I have been suffering from minor illnesses, which are caused by overwork."
Is there any reason for you to be as big as your health?
I can't accept this!
Therefore, Mr. Chen frowned fiercely and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he glared at Jin Lian helplessly and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my blunder. Your Majesty, the dragon body is the foundation of the country. You must not ignore it. In this case, you should work together with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to handle the matter of General Tun properly."
At this time, other ministers finally reacted and stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."
"Your Majesty, a healthy body is a blessing to all people. You must not overwork yourself."
"The ministers are incompetent and cannot relieve the king's worries. They are really guilty."
Suddenly, the palace turned into a condolence meeting, and everyone was concerned about the emperor's body, but it was not clear how sincere it was.
It is true that they cannot see the medical records of Tai Hospital, but they are not stupid either!
The elders present have all been in the capital for a long time and are often by your side.
Therefore, it was difficult for them to believe that the emperor, who had always been in high spirits during this period and never neglected his morning meal (?), would have 'some minor illnesses'.
Moreover, the bosses just wanted to complain.
It is true that since the emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been prosperous, the government affairs of the court have been smooth, and various yamen have returned to normalcy, and have begun to gradually restore the national strength before the emperor's personal conquest.
All of this, not to mention all, at least half of it is due to today's emperor.
However, when it comes to ‘working hard and sleeping late at night, forgetting to eat and sleep’…
Your Majesty, does your conscience not hurt?
Forget about other things, which emperor started to fix the voting power of the cabinet as a custom, and which emperor started to change the daily morning dynasty to once every three days?
Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for so long. In addition to urgent military affairs, you can count on one hand the number of times you have summoned ministers to discuss government affairs after the palace gate was handed down.
Every day after Li Hai hour, many offices in the imperial court were still brightly lit. Finally, I finally wrote the memorial and sent it to the palace. All the replies I got were that Your Majesty had gone to bed peacefully.
Everyone has a steelyard in their heart.
It is no problem to say that the emperor is wise, wise, and familiar with the affairs of the court, and can make the Ming Dynasty peaceful and the people peaceful.
