Chapter five hundred and twentieth the emperor who is looking for trouble
There was no need for the fourth prince or the third prince to return to the palace, let alone the two brothers to complain in person. This scene in Jiuzhang Hall reached the emperor's ears immediately. Whether it was the fourth prince's grievances and tears, the third prince's step forward and The responses of Zhang Shou and other students, whether they were false accusations or real help, were all detailed, and there was no embellishing at all.
When the emperor learned that his two young sons were being embarrassed by Zhang Shou, his first reaction was to curse angrily: "This Zhang Shou, why does he always hold on to Sanlang and Shilang!"
But after scolding him, he dismissed the young eunuch from the Supervisor of Ceremonies and walked back and forth in the room for two steps. Then he suddenly turned to ask Liu Feng, the steward of Qianqing Palace, and said, "Tell me, Zhang Shou Is this because the matter that I asked Yingying to come to the palace to tell me has never been finalized, so I plan to use Shiro as a raft to try to attack the east and the west?"
Although Liu Feng had suffered a lot because the fourth prince betrayed him unintentionally, and was almost expelled from the Qianqing Palace by the emperor, he did not dare to have the mentality of retaliation, because the fourth prince was punished by the emperor. He was treated like a child and would be forgiven as long as it was not a principled mistake. What's more, he had no good relationship with Zhang Shou and just wanted to keep away from others.
Therefore, he really didn't want to answer the emperor's question at all, but under the emperor's gaze, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Dr. Zhang should just discuss the matter, right? After all, the fourth prince failed to be elected to Jiuzhang Hall before. If he goes to class every day so boldly and spreads the word, won't the written test and interview ahead become a joke?"
Liu Feng thought about it and finally decided to be fair. But for being so fair, he once again received a sneer from the emperor: "There is no absolute fairness in this world. Zhang Shou doesn't even know this. So much so. He is torturing Shiro, but rather to let the child truly understand the hardships of studying, and at the same time temper Saburo's previously too timid temperament."
"But I'm afraid that he will go too far! If Sanlang and Shiro's temperaments are reversed, I will have a headache!"
Liu Feng imagined the possibility of this situation and immediately felt his scalp numb: "The emperor is afraid that the third prince has a cheerful personality, but the fourth prince is so frustrated that he loses his spirit?"
Seeing that the emperor was noncommittal, he remembered some kind of rumor that had come from the Chief of Ceremonies before, and immediately said cautiously: "Didn't the emperor originally decide that the third prince would have classes in Jiuzhang Hall in the morning and return to the palace for the afternoon classes? Now that the third prince spends all day in Jiuzhang Hall, the fourth prince actually follows him. In this way, will the wise men who have been recruited feel that..."
Liu Feng deliberately did not finish what he said, leaving a hook for the emperor to think about it, but he made a malicious calculation in his heart. Although Zhang Shou and Chu Kuan, the chief minister of ceremony, had never been close friends, it was said that the prince's teacher was also a former Chu Kuan. It was because Chu Kuan was so praised in front of the emperor, so he would hold back from behind. Anyway, he never wanted to see Chu Kuan get everything he wanted.
When he said this, the emperor suddenly paused. The emperor, who happened to walk to the table, slammed the table and cursed angrily. He originally thought that his words were effective, but who knew what the emperor meant? Not that!
"No, how could Zhang Shou be so good? He even helped to correct the characters of the two brothers! He gave Shiro a hard time today, maybe just to get him back! If Sanlang hadn't become more tolerant now and become smarter, he wouldn't have helped.
, but he only said that he couldn't stand Shiro's slow movements, and maybe he and Sanlang would be criticized together! Just like Zhang Shou meeting Yingying for the first time, he thought it was troublesome!"
The more the emperor talked, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. He immediately went around to the back of the desk and sat down, and then gently tapped his left hand with his right fist, with a look on his face as if he had seen through your treacherous plan.
"Let me tell you, when these two boys were in Banshan Hall, it was Zhang Shou who sent them back to me because of the branch examination. When Jiuzhang Hall recruited new people, he deliberately set a strict threshold and only recruited
He recruited San Lang... Of course, if San Lang hadn't suddenly shown off his power, he probably wouldn't have wanted to recruit anyone at all! A few good words coaxed the two brothers to sleep and forget about food and sleep, this boy is so cunning!"
Liu Feng finally couldn't listen anymore. Even though he knew that his words might displease the emperor, he still said cautiously: "Could this be Zhang Shou... playing hard to get?"
"Play hard to catch? I've tried to catch you seven times. Do you think he is Zhuge Kongming, and Sanlang and Shilang are the unlucky Meng Huo?"
The emperor obviously read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too much, and glared at Liu Feng. Seeing him hurriedly lowering his hands and lowering his head and not daring to say anything, he said lightly: "This kid is afraid of trouble, so he doesn't want to get involved with anyone who is troublesome.
The same is true for troublesome things. When he has an idea, he puts it forward and then leaves it to others to do. Have you ever seen him not do this? "
"So, when he heard that I summoned four mountain chiefs to the capital, his students were certainly very nervous, but he might also feel that it would save him trouble and worry, regardless of the two of us who regard him as the best teacher in the world.
What a silly son! He came up with a lot of ideas and just wanted to rest? It's not that comfortable. I'll write a secret letter in my handwriting and you can send it to the cabinet to Mr. Wu Ge."
After the emperor finished speaking, he picked up his pen and started writing without saying a word. Although Liu Feng was supposed to go up and polish the ink and stretch out the paper, he just seemed to have offended the emperor because of his imprudent remarks, so naturally he did not dare to go up and continue to be scolded.
What's more, what the emperor is writing now is a secret letter. If he takes a second look, once he turns around and actually leaks the news, he will definitely be the first to do so as he was punished for leaking the information before.
person under suspicion.
Therefore, even though Liu Feng wanted to know what kind of secret letter the emperor had written, he could only stand there helplessly, watching the emperor finish writing it in one go, stamp it, dry it, fold it, put it in the envelope, and seal it...
All the processes were completed independently, and he had no chance to help at all. All he could do was to step forward and receive the envelope when the emperor handed it over.
Since the emperor asked him to send it instead of sending someone to send it, of course Liu Feng could only make the trip himself. When he came to the cabinet in front of the Wenhua Hall and asked to see Mr. Wu Ge by name, he was naturally the first to do so.
Time was brought to this famous good gentleman, or the emperor's yes-man.
"Hey, what kind of wind brings you here, Eunuch Liu?"
Mr. Wu Ge was as enthusiastic as ever. He had been in the cabinet for the longest time - at least longer than the current Masters of Kong University and Zhang University together. He even joked with Liu Feng very familiarly until the other party got out of his mind.
A secret letter was taken out.
The moment he saw the thing, Mr. Wu Ge's eyebrows trembled slightly. Although his face was calm, his heart was extremely bitter. No wonder Liu Feng, who had the same status as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, would personally
When I came to see him, it turned out that I was giving him such a tricky thing!
There is no doubt that he, the emperor's yes man, will take the blame again!
Mr. Wu Ge, who was used to taking the blame, habitually complained about himself for a while, but quickly cheered up again. Even though Liu Feng came to deliver the letter in person, he did not reveal the slightest bit to anyone, and
After a few polite words, he sent the person away with a smile. After reading the letter, the most senior person in the cabinet but never the most senior yes-man started to take action.
He found two close secretaries of the cabinet, and then quietly gave instructions. Around the time of application, the several memorials he needed arrived in his hands during the sorting and drafting process, and then he wrote
I took the ticket that I had prepared for a long time.
In such a large court, there are so many memorials to be processed every day. It is naturally impossible for the emperor to review them one by one. Therefore, a system has been established since the time of Taizu. The old cabinet drafts are drafted, and the emperor refutes them.
Of course, the power of this batch of reds has nothing to do with the ceremonial supervisor, and the emperor has no practice of not changing the voting plan. When encountering emperors like Yingzong and Ruizhong who were born immediately, it would be arrogant not to reject the 180 articles of voting.
Strange thing. During the most intense period of conflict between monarch power and prime minister power, Yingzong changed seven cabinet elders in one year, and Ruizong was not to be outdone, changing ten in two years.
Therefore, in the later years of Emperor Yingzong's life, the princes fought over the legitimate sons, and the civil servants left. Ruizhong died, and the court situation was in turmoil. Although the military ministers all sided with the widowed mother and young son, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Emperor had to make concessions in some aspects.
As for the elders of the cabinet, it is not just the chief minister who can take charge of the voting. Instead, the secretary of the cabinet distributes all the memorials one by one and delivers them to the memorial boxes of the major cabinet elders. It is said that it is anonymous and depends on destiny.
, but as long as they are willing, the cabinet elders can use their own methods to get the memorial they want to draft in their own hands.
As for the memorial, after the emperor has criticized it once, the memorial will be transferred to the Liuke Gallery, where it will be reviewed by the Sixth Section in categories. If there is no need to seal it, it will be transferred from the Liuke Gallery to the General Affairs Department, and then
It has access to all major yamen and travels all over the world.
However, apart from the fact that there were still a number of strong GUI Shizhongs during the Taizu years, the sealing of Liu Kelang in recent years has long been in vain. Even Yingzong and Ruizong emphasized the role of GIS Shizhong, but today's GIS
What happened was that they usurped the authority of the censor and diverted the attention originally directed at the emperor to the ministers. Did Feng still reject the emperor's approval? Did he not want his life?
Although the quarrel with the emperor has become the quarrel with the ministers. However, there are still a group of people in the Six Branch Gallery who firmly believe in their responsibilities.
When the memorial notes approved by Emperor Zhu from the palace finally arrived at the Six Section Gallery in the evening of that day, the six subjects drew each other, and the memorials, which originally numbered in the hundreds or even thousands, were sorted into their respective places. Among them, Li Ke and
Household subjects are the most numerous, followed by criminal subjects and engineering subjects. However, the military subjects, which had always occupied the top spot, actually fell behind the etiquette subjects, with the fewest memorials.
As for the reason, it is of course very simple. There will be another big competition next year. The Ministry of Rites is busy, there are many memorials, and there are many votes. Of course, there are relatively more refutations. Of course, the Rites Department is also busy. And because there is no war in the north, everywhere in the world
There were not that many people who rose up in rebellion, there were not many bandits, and the Ministry of War was idle, so of course the Military Department was also idle.
But this time, the military department was stunned, but they held a memorial in their hands and trembled with anger, because it was Zhu Tingfang's memorial that he encountered water bandits on the Canal Road, and then used his power to kill many people under the water and captured seven alive.
, and after he was handed over to the Ministry of War, I don’t know which idiot was responsible for interrogating him, but he actually reported that he was a remnant of Linhai Camp!
"The remnants of this fart! All the buckets of dirty water are poured on those traitors, just to make them speechless! All of them can only stab people in the back... If you have the guts, continue to impeach Mr. Zhao Guogong and his son, what are you going to do?
A dirty trick to bribe the water bandits!"
He casually threw the memorandum, written by Zhu Tingfang and concluded by someone from the Ministry of War, on the desk. He cursed angrily: "The Ministry of War is getting more and more outrageous. It's not as good as when Lu Wan was in office."
! Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan are better off. One resigned, the other took a job, but they all ended up happily busy with their public schools. As a result, the Ministry of War is dominated by a bunch of people!"
After scolding him here, Yu Huai casually pulled out the next book, only to see that it was indeed the corpse of Zuo Shilang, the current acting minister of the Ministry of War, who was impeached and was mediocre and incompetent. He looked quite relieved and read it once before going to see the draft agreement.
In the end, he was criticizing or refuting, but after just one glance, he almost jumped up.
This kind of bullet, in theory, the cabinet's vote is just a vote for the Holy See, and it rarely contains any opinions. But this time, for the fiercely rhetorical impeachment, there is a vote signed by Wu. And that folder
The film ticket is intended to be only two short lines of text.
"Since Qin Gong can be Shuntian Yin, then Zhao Gong and Chu Gong, why not choose one to take charge of the military department?"
"Old Wu, you are simply harming the country... No, harming the country!" Yu Huai scolded and quickly glanced at the emperor's inscription. When he saw the bright red inscription clearly written that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jingke was the minister of the Ministry of War, he was
He cursed his mother and finally went into a rage.
"This is unreasonable, this is simply unreasonable! Although Qin Guogong inherited the title of Shijue, he has always been responsible for writing books and other tasks. He is more like a civil servant than a military officer. After he took office as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, he followed the rules and followed the rules.
What's more, the Shuntian government office is only responsible for the security of the capital, how can it be compared to the important one... Wu Lao'er must have accepted the benefits of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, I want to impeach him!"
Therefore, Yu Huai did not choose to return or dismiss the Emperor's Zhu Biao, but directly rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare to impeach Mr. Wu Ge for colluding with Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing Wenwu and conspiring against evil intentions - as for whether this was the case... it was none of his business.
?Such a big thing, as long as he directly reveals it, there will definitely be a crowd of people following it.
He was writing impassionedly and quickly, and he swept aside a large pile of memorials at the bottom. Anyway, most of the time the Six Section Gallery was just a formality, and there were very few refutations of the exercise of power. It didn't matter whether you read it or not.
critical.
Therefore, he didn't pay attention at all. Among the piles of memorials that he swept aside, there were also a few lines of inscriptions written by Wu Ge Lao and the emperor's inscriptions.
Wu Ge Lao Piao proposed: "For the maritime escort ship, volunteers can self-recommend, finance the ship themselves, and the Ministry of War approves it, and sends personnel to accompany the ship. The Ruiqi camp selects people to supervise the ship, and approves the weapons carried by the personnel on board."
Emperor Zhu Pi: "Yes."
Just after returning to Zhang Yuan from Jiuzhangtang class the next evening, Zhang Shou learned from Zhu Ying, who came angrily, that his future father-in-law had been impeached for colluding with Ge Lao to seek the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.
. And after finally appeasing Zhu Ying, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, and wanted to stage a fight to beat up the remonstrating official in the street, he received an unexpected uninvited guest.
Cao Wu bowed his head almost as soon as he saw him, and said excitedly: "Dr. Zhang, the escort ship is done!"
