The atmosphere in Mr. Tang and Mr. Yang's place was more lively. Tang He was going to the palace gate and talking to Yang Heshu at the same time. He couldn't hold back his smile and said: "She is quite clever and knows how to retreat to advance."
Yang Heshu nodded slightly and said: "Wang Ji, Liang Fei and others may not be able to escape this time, and the best result is to be dismissed from office."
Tang He rolled his eyes and said, "I remember Liang Fei is in the Ministry of Punishment."
Yang Heshu said directly: "Don't think about it. The position you just became the magistrate of Chang'an County will not change within three years."
Tang He felt very regretful, "There was another fight on the street yesterday. There were not many big cases. It was just a bunch of brawls between the rich and powerful. It's not as comfortable as being a county magistrate in Yizhou."
Yang Heshu smiled, it was easier than walking between Hubu and Donggong.
Tang He also felt that he was slightly luckier than Yang Heshu. He thought of something and said with a smile, "I think she will also go to the imperial court in the future."
"Just twice a month, just go there."
Not long after Man Bao returned to Chongwen Hall and sat down, he was called to Kong Jijiu. Kong Jijiu said: "Guo Zhanshi said that from now on, you will have to attend all the court meetings in the court."
Man Bao was a little nervous, "Will I have to go to the main hall every time in the future?"
"That's right," Kong Jijiu originally didn't worry about such trivial matters, but thinking that she had a history of being late, and that she was still young, it was the time when she was dozing off, so he said: "So in order to enter the palace without being in a hurry, ordinary officials will
Those who lined up to enter the palace before and after Maozheng."
Man Bao calculated the time and felt bitter in his heart, "The imperial court will be held twice a month, right?"
"This is the rule, but there are exceptions," Kong Jijiu waved his hand nonchalantly: "The officials will naturally notify you when the time comes. Okay, you can go down."
Man Bao turned around and left, just as it was about to have lunch, she couldn't help but tell Bai Shan and others, "If I encounter a court meeting in the future, you have to help me get my things."
Bai Shan said there was no problem and asked out of curiosity, "Why did you scold Wang Ji in court today? Many classmates talked quietly behind our backs and hid as soon as they saw us coming up."
Bai Erlang concluded: "They must not have said good things about you. They only go behind others' backs when they say bad things."
Man Bao didn't care, and said: "Anyway, Xiao Yuan praised me, and the prince didn't say that I did anything wrong. Listen, His Majesty also likes me, so I should have won overall. Since I won, I
I don’t care what others say about me.”
However, after eating and resting, when the group went to Bai Shan's room to have tea and snacks, she still vividly recounted what had happened at today's court meeting.
Several people listened with great interest. Bai Erlang's eyes lit up and he said: "This is not much worse than our original petition. It should be written down."
Man Bao said: "Why write it down?"
"Anyway, write it down first. You don't know, I stopped writing after I finished writing Brother Xiang's biography. The bookstore owners sent me letters whenever they had time, asking me to think of new stories quickly. If it didn't work, I would use it again.
Make up a story to Big Brother."
"Brother Xiang has a good temper, but we can't always catch him writing. Last time he went out, two people stopped him and insisted on inviting him to dinner and drinks. He was so frightened that he went out with Brother Zhou the next day."
Yin You said: "Maybe I haven't seen Brother Xiang for a long time."
Liu Huandao: "The last time we had dinner together was last month. I really miss him."
Man Bao and Bai Shan:......
Man Bao quickly changed the topic and said to Bai Erlang: "You can write it if you want, but you have to write me better."
Bai Erlang patted his chest and said, "Aren't you still worried about me? Don't worry, I will definitely write well."
They were carefree, but things were turbulent in the court.
The Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials took action together, not only to check the assessment performance of Wang Ji and others over the years, but also to go deeper.
For example, various matters such as dealings with other officials, income and expenses, etc. Although these matters are complicated, the essence can be clearly seen.
Who they are, as long as you look deeper, most of them cannot be hidden.
In the past, the prince had long been suspicious that Wang Ji and others had often targeted him. At first, he thought that he was just like Wei Zhi, a smelly and hard rock.
Later, more and more trivial things started to cause trouble, and he slowly figured it out and thought he was the third child.
As a result, after Prince Gong was put under house arrest, he still acted as if he was sharing the emperor's worries. He was worried about the future of the country and was not worried about leaving the country's capital to the prince. The prince knew that he was not Prince Gong's person.
I wanted to investigate before but couldn't. This time I can investigate openly and openly. The prince will naturally give instructions to investigate deeper.
In fact, there was no need for him to hint. The emperor personally gave the order and personally intervened. Even if someone wanted to fool him, he didn't dare to make too big a move.
What's more, the Yushitai is still hosted by Mr. Old Tang.
After three days of investigation, Wang Ji reported illness and had to submit a letter to resign.
If the court meeting only stopped when he left crying, then it would be no problem for him to resign, and the emperor would turn a blind eye and let him go.
But that day Zhou Man openly admitted his mistake and apologized. The emperor had to admit that Zhou Man was right.
If an official cannot serve the people, the country, and the king of his country, then he is serving as a minister in vain.
Therefore, the emperor suppressed his suggestion, refused to agree, and continued to let Yushitai and the officials investigate.
Seeing that seven days had passed and Man Bao was about to leave the palace in two days, before the matter came to an end, Man Bao ran to ask Yuan Zheng Xiao, "Do you think I should come and see him?"
"
Xiao Yuanzheng doesn't go to Chongwen Museum often anymore. Even when he repairs books, he usually borrows them back to Taiyuan Hospital for compilation. This is a lot of trouble, but at least he can get away from the East Palace.
Seeing Zhou Man wandering around carrying a medicine box, he raised his eyelids to take a look and asked, "Who are you looking at?"
"Master Wang," Man Bao said, "I heard from Senior Brother Yang that he has been sick since he left the palace. There are rumors that he even vomited blood. They all said that he was angry with me."
There was still a little guilt on Man Bao's face, he scratched his face and said: "If my parents knew that I was so popular, they would definitely ask me to come and admit my mistake. I don't think I will admit my mistake, but I can come and have a look.
At worst, I don’t need to pay for his medical treatment at home.”
All the imperial doctors:...
Xiao Yuanzheng was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Don't be naughty, if you go, the rumors about being angry and vomiting blood will become true."
"It just clarifies that it's fake, otherwise it would be very bad for my reputation."
Xiao Yuanzheng comforted her and said: "It's okay. Don't look at this from the perspective of an imperial physician. Just think that you are making up a story. You have to think about it. When the officials in the court speak and curse, they don't do it.
Don't be angry, this is normal, there is no need to feel guilty."
Man Bao sighed inwardly. Not only did she feel guilty, but she was also afraid that her parents would beat her up if they found out. When they were in the village, they never let their children quarrel with adults. They thought it was very uncultured.
