Chapter four hundred and thirteen handing over the note
The emperor finally turned his attention to the censor Zhongcheng: "You can correct your mistakes if you know them, and there is no greater good. Get up and give you three months' salary as punishment."
After a single sentence was passed lightly, Yushi Zhongcheng shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty" and stood up, his blood-reddened face showing a bit of happiness after a disaster.
He stood with his hands folded, already thinking about it in his mind: I said I was wrong, and the emperor said he knew his mistakes and could correct them. That means the emperor knew what kind of monster they were making, or at least he knew what kind of monster they were making.
The emperor fined me a salary, which is to give me a basis to rely on, so that I can "correct" my mistakes now that I have known them: there must be some people among these people who are difficult for the emperor to deal with, and I must eliminate these people from the Yushitai.
.
Okay, that's a good thing. I've long been dissatisfied with this bunch of idiots. Look at how they all behave, form cliques in private, work together to trample people, and don't follow the rules at all!
If these people hadn't been chosen by themselves, they would have been kicked out of the Yushitai a long time ago!
Censor Zhongcheng had Xiao Jiujiu in mind, and the emperor also had plans in mind.
According to regulations, the censor of the Yushitai must report to the chief of the Yushitai what matters will be rectified before supervising matters.
This is because the censors need to be restrained, and their rights cannot override those of the court. Otherwise, the censors without restrictions may cause arbitrary crimes to frame the courtiers, and even become a sharp sword for others to eradicate dissidents.
But it cannot be restricted too much, otherwise it will be useless.
Therefore, a "virtuous and upright" person is needed to lead a group of "virtuous and upright" people. They must have a loyal heart and upright spirit, and must be politically loyal and patriotic.
So he personally selected the current censor Zhongcheng, hoping that he could lead the team well.
However, the Yushitai is not someone's "one-word hall", so the Yushi Zhongcheng does not have the right to select all the Yushi. Instead, most of them have to be screened and appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. The Yushi Zhongcheng only has a small number of appointments. Of course, the emperor can also personally appoint a few.
personal.
Now that the censor Zhongcheng has made it clear that this matter has nothing to do with him, and dares to say "people are not good at letting people do evil", I guess these people are brought in from elsewhere, right?
I made you the Censor Zhongcheng just because I want you to kill some old guys who are inconvenient for me to do. You haven't gotten rid of them until now. Are you stubborn or just stupid?
Go back and give me a good check! If the check is not clean, hum! I will jerk you off!
Alas, it’s my fault, a truly virtuous and upright person, how can he have so much thought? To deal with a treacherous and deceitful person, you have to be of the same kind, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, you still need to practice!
The emperor and his ministers thought about it separately, and the censors who shouted the loudest were a little uneasy: What does the emperor mean by this? Is he trying to get rid of the person who raised the question?
What was the emperor looking at just now? Who handed the note?
Several censors wanted to look back and check. Just now they seemed to have seen a young eunuch running towards the back of the palace.
But they didn't dare to make any big moves at this time, as the emperor was watching from above.
"Your Majesty, Si Mian Yuanwailang has no right to interfere in local government affairs, but whether Chu Qing has done anything like this needs to be investigated." Deputy Prime Minister Cheng Feng reported.
Prime Minister Tan Mian also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that 'rumor reports' can be mentioned based on rumors, but the source of the information needs to be determined and the information must be accurate before proceeding;
Otherwise, it will be "catching on the wind and shadows", which will lead to a situation where there are many parties attacking each other, which will be harmful to the country;
Of course, with the exception of the Yushitai, I believe that other officials should be able to tell the truth based on what they saw with their own eyes about the malpractices in government affairs and treacherous officials, even if they are not responsible for speaking out."
They are all people who meet with the emperor every day. No matter how calm the emperor's face is, they can still notice it.
The emperor had seen a paper ball before, then remained silent, and then agreed with the censor Zhongcheng's confession. It was obvious that these people's impeachment of Chu Qing made the emperor dissatisfied.
Although the two prime ministers had no direct impression of Chu Qing, his presence did not pose any threat to them, so they did not mind following the emperor's instructions.
"Well," the emperor nodded. The two men spoke in human language, "What do you think, sir?"
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
All the ministers bowed and agreed, but no one raised their voice this time to make their presence felt.
There were echoes of support. Anyone who doesn’t follow the trend at this time would be a fool, right?
"I second the proposal!" Zheng Chunqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also seconded the proposal, but his second proposal was "smarter" than others:
"I think that Chu Qing is a practical, capable person who is diligent in research. However, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything well, and some misunderstandings are inevitable;
Although it is said that those who are capable work hard, there will always be omissions. It is better to devote oneself to the field of expertise and concentrate on one's career, which can also reduce the number of empty duties for the court and save salary."
Swearing without using curse words!
Hu Hengqiu looked at Zheng Chunqiu's back through the cracks in the crowd: Why do you have the nerve to stand up straight? You made a big deal out of "praising" Chu Qing for having multiple jobs, and there were so many mistakes and omissions?
The emperor looked at him and gritted his teeth: Who are you scolding? I personally appointed her position, do you have any opinion? She does the work of three people by herself, why do I give her three salaries?
You still have a false position, but you have a real job. What have you done?
It also saves salary. If I support three people in three positions, I won’t waste my salary?
After Zheng Chunqiu finished speaking, he returned to his original position, secretly satisfied in his heart: Well, we caught up! It was almost too late to read the Chu Qing Book just now because of the interference of Yu Shi Zhongcheng!
Didn't Tan Mian say that even if he is not an official, he should be able to "report truthfully even if he has no responsibility to speak", so I will report it!
I followed the Prime Minister's words, who can say I'm wrong?
Fortunately, the knowledge in his belly was not fake. On the contrary, he also nailed the impeachment of the officials. Even if Chu Qing was not found guilty, it was still regarded as an "omission", which would not allow her to get better anyway.
Last time Madam went to see Bai Jiaxing, she actually heard Chu Qing's intention to investigate her. You were unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Originally, I said that marrying off my second daughter would be a way of getting closer to each other, but what is your attitude?
Your attitude towards me directly determines my intensity towards you!
Zheng Chunqiu was in full swing when he heard applause from behind.
Ever since Chu Qing attended the "Spring Festival Gala" in the palace, applause has become a habit among people.
The ministers raised their eyes and looked at the emperor, because they did not dare to see who was so presumptuous, so they looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor to drink out the man's name.
The emperor remained silent.
The person applauding walked up to Zheng Chunqiu and said, "I must learn from Mr. Zheng! Learn from Mr. Zheng's thoroughness in doing things!"
Mr. Zheng is going to marry his daughter again, why not marry into Chuqing's family? Are you afraid that people will say that your marriage is a clique for personal gain and consolidation of power? Then you can just resign yourself, so why resign for your in-laws?
Chu Qing said that one person can do the work of three people, but you only do the work of one person. It is more cost-effective for you to resign than for her to resign!
Besides, even if she works a lot, she will inevitably make some omissions, and you, a diligent and self-denying person, and your in-laws, can help her check for gaps, fill them up, and make suggestions, all for the sake of Daxuan!"
