Starting from the next morning, the short compositions written by the ministers were successively sent to the Manna Palace and delivered to the young emperor.
By the afternoon, everyone's essays had been handed in. His Majesty the Emperor and Gao Ming, together, held the pile of essays and began to count.
"Five prime ministers, three officials of the Ministry of Rites, a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and an uncle of the King of Jin."
The little emperor stretched out his hand and counted the memorial books in front of him. No more, no less, exactly ten.
All ten people paid in.
It is worth mentioning that Prince Jin did not participate in the deliberations at Zhongshu yesterday.
He didn't know the decision of the group of people from Zhongshu Province to submit their own letters.
In other words, Prince Jin's memorial was originally intended to be presented separately.
The little emperor and the high eunuch sat facelessly on the stall in the Manlu Hall, holding the ten memorial books in their hands and reading them one by one.
After confirming it several times, the master and servant finally determined the contents of the ten memorials.
Except for Prime Minister Zhang Jing, Minister of Household Affairs Zhao Changping, and Jiankang Yin Li Rui who spoke for Shen Yi, the other seven people all advocated punishing Shen Yi in order to calm the conflicts between the two countries and prevent the rise of war between the two countries.
The only difference is that the contents of the memorials of these seven people are different. Some people advocate severe punishment of Shen Yi, some advocate light punishment of Shen Yi, and some people write in the memorial that Shen Yi can be punished openly and secretly rewarded. One prime minister even said
, as long as Shen Yi accepts this grievance for the imperial court, he will be allowed to enter the Imperial College in two years to make Shen Yi's scientific examination smooth.
Entering the Imperial College does not make a person's academic examination smooth.
As a prime minister, he has the ability to keep his word even though he talks the talk. In other words, what this prime minister means is that as long as Shen Yi is aggrieved, he can appropriately open the back door for him in the scientific examination in the future.
His academic career was smoother.
Being able to offer this condition shows that the prime minister has "sacrificed" a lot for the benefit of the court.
Because all the five prime ministers were born in the Imperial Academy, and the last one was also a second-class Jinshi. People with these Jinshi backgrounds have a common characteristic, that is, they think they look down on people who go through the side door and the back door.
And this prime minister was actually willing to open the back door for Shen Yi, which shows the great "sacrifice".
The little emperor gritted his teeth angrily after reading the memorial letter.
"You are truly my loyal minister and good prime minister!"
His face turned red with anger and he threw all ten memorials aside. The memorials were scattered on the floor.
The little emperor was furious: "Brilliant!"
"Go and arrest all these treacherous officials and send them to prison for questioning!"
Eunuch Gao, who had always been very obedient, stood quietly on the spot without moving.
He knew the emperor very well, and he knew that the little emperor shouted like this just to vent his anger, and was not stupid enough to cause a big scandal in the court because of Shen Yi.
After the little emperor lost his temper, he took several deep breaths and finally calmed down. He personally picked up the memorials from the ground, took them back to the imperial eucalyptus one by one, then read them carefully, and finally from those seven
Feng picked out three memorials advocating punishing Shen Yi.
His Majesty the Emperor put these three letters aside, then looked at Eunuch Gao coldly, and said slowly: "Gao Ming."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully and said, "My servant is here."
"On weekdays, when I fart in the palace, it's like thunder in Jiankang City. Just now I lost my temper, and I want to let those outside the palace who peep at me every day know, do you understand?"
As the co-owner of a country, His Majesty the Emperor can decide too many things with his personal will, and can even determine the future direction of a country.
Therefore, people in the capital will of course try their best to find out what is going on in the palace and what the emperor is doing. It is best to know what the emperor is thinking, so that they can be at ease in the officialdom and predict the future.
Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully: "I understand."
"also…"
The little emperor lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Go and call Old Man Zhang into the palace."
Gao Ming lowered his head again: "I'll go right now, slave.
"
Eunuch Gao was very efficient, and Zhongshu Province was not far from the palace. Not long after, the old Prime Minister Zhang Jing was called to the Manna Palace. After entering the Manna Palace, the old man bowed his head respectfully to the emperor and asked
Make gestures and kowtow in salute.
The little emperor waved his hand and said lazily: "Prime Minister Zhang, there is no need to kneel down. Let's talk directly."
Zhang Jing then stood up, stood with his hands down, lowered his head and said: "Old minister, I respectfully listen to the Holy Edict."
The little emperor handed the three memorials at hand to Gao Ming and motioned Gao Ming to pass them to Zhang Jing. Eunuch Gao held the three memorials in his hands, came to Zhang Jing, bowed his head respectfully: "Old Prime Minister, please take a look."
The little emperor on the throne narrowed his eyes coldly and said: "These three people are insulting to the country. I don't like them very much. I will issue an order to kill them tomorrow. Prime Minister Zhang will take them back to Zhongshu Province.
Let’s study and find out where they should be relegated.”
At this point, the little emperor said slowly: "It's best to drive them out of Jiankang. I don't want to see them anymore."
Zhang Jing's eyes changed slightly and he lowered his head to look at the three memorials in his hand. He only glanced briefly and took in the names on the three memorials.
The one at the top is Pei Yuan, the Minister of Rites.
The second one is Zhou Sheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the third one...
Cui Yu, Prime Minister of Zhongshu...
Seeing the last name, Prime Minister Zhang's expression changed again. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cui has only been serving as prime minister for two years, which is when he is in the prime of his life..."
"This kind of person is a servile person who only serves others. The younger and more powerful he is, the more trouble he will bring to me, Da Chen!"
The little emperor pounded the table angrily: "Can you, the Central Secretary, handle this errand? If you can't handle it, I will fire all five of you and set up another Central Secretary to handle it!"
Of course this was an angry statement.
In fact, this time the little emperor only moved one prime minister with the lowest foundation. Even Yang Jingzong, the leader of the "Turtle Sect", did not dare to move, let alone move five prime ministers at once.
Zhang Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to His Majesty the Emperor: "Old minister, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com I obey..."
The little emperor waved his hand lazily: "After Cui Yu is dismissed, your Zhongshu Province will send out a few more prime ministers. I will take the time to pick and choose, and I will recruit someone into Zhongshu as soon as possible."
After saying this, the little emperor waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go down and do some errands."
Zhang Jing climbed up from the ground with some difficulty, bowed and left the Manna Hall.
Looking at Zhang Jing's leaving figure, the little emperor narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
"Had it not been for my shallow foundation, I would have had to reorganize Zhongshu..."
He looked at the direction Zhang Jing was leaving, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Ask Zhang Jing to handle this matter. Yang Jingzong will definitely be suspicious of him. I hope he can check Zhongshu and give me some time to prepare manpower..."
"Fortunately, Uncle Jin Wang is here with me, so Jiankang can't cause chaos..."
Thinking of this, the little emperor looked at Eunuch Gao on the side and said slowly: "Gao Ming, I asked you to print the new residence newspaper, how is your printing going?"
Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the manuscript handed over by Shen Yi has been polished and revised by my servant. The withered version is already being produced. In five or six days, the first edition of Di Bao will be started.
Printed."
The emperor nodded slightly.
"After it is printed, it will be printed and distributed to all provinces immediately and spread to the people of the government and the public."
After saying this, the little emperor asked Gao Ming: "This Shen Yi has made such a big noise. What have you been doing in the past few days?"
Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head honestly.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the report from the inner guard, Shen Yi..."
"It seems like... making money?"
