When Zhang Jingbang returned to his mansion, he was still dizzy. Am I not the prime minister? Just one word from the emperor... and I will be deposed? Zhang Jingbang simply cannot accept this fact. Because... it seems a bit too childish.
!You know, although the Qi Dynasty has always had precedents for deposing prime ministers, there was always a specific process. First, there was news, which made people feel that the emperor's mind had changed and he had the idea of replacing the prime minister;
Secondly, various censors or officials took action upon hearing the news and began to besiege and impeach them; thirdly, everyone in the court was quarreling, and various forces expressed their positions one after another, and the emperor tried to deflect from it, gradually establishing a favorable atmosphere for abolishing the power and ruling.
; In the end, it is logical to find a suitable reason to abolish the Prime Minister. Moreover, abolishing the Prime Minister often does not mean directly dismissing him from office. After all, those who can become Prime Minister are all important officials in the court, unless the emperor hates him.
If it is deeply rooted in your bones, you must get rid of it quickly, otherwise you will basically be demoted or transferred to a local government, away from the center of power. In short, this set of rules is basically the unspoken rule of the officialdom of the Qi Dynasty, and there are very few people who do not follow this set of rules.
So when the scholar-bureaucrats attack each other, they will leave each other some room, so as not to kill each other. After all, when you gain power, there will be times when you lose power, and you have to think about what will happen after you fall. However, today,
The officials didn't care about this at all! Was there any news in advance? No, Zhang Jingbang didn't think that the emperor wanted to depose him at all. Were there any cases of various censors and officials taking action to impeach him? No, neither did the court officials and Zhang Jingbang.
The relationship was quite good. Was there any quarrel in the court? No, the emperor immediately deposed him with just one word, without even giving the ministers time to react! The first three steps were not taken, and he jumped directly to the last step. No wonder Zhang Jingbang
There is a feeling of living in a dream, and it is still difficult to accept this fact. At this time, in his mansion, seven or eight ministers, including Wang Shiyong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, gathered together. Wang Shiyong was suffering.
Face: "Prime Minister Zhang, what should I do?" Zhang Jingbang felt a little pain in his head: "Don't call me Prime Minister Zhang, I am no longer the prime minister..." The reason why these ministers came to Zhang Jingbang was obviously
They were also stunned by the combination of punches that the emperor used in the Jinluan Palace today. On the one hand, as people in the bureaucracy, they were relatively close to Zhang Jingbang, and they wanted to express their condolences after such a big event happened;
The more important reason is that they are panicked and unwilling to accept the emperor's plan to get rid of Enyin, so they want to discuss a countermeasure. Although Zhang Jingbang is no longer the prime minister, such a thing as fame still exists. Just like Qi Huizongyi
Although Cai Yuanchang or Tong Daofu, the powerful ministers of the dynasty, retired from office for a period of time, they still had many official contacts, and they still had a strong influence on the government. Their disciples and former officials were all over the world, forming an intricate network of relationships.
The people in the network are all powerful regardless of whether they are in office or not. Zhang Jingbang's power at this time is of course not as powerful as Cai Yuanchang or Tong Daofu, but after all, he is a dwarf general and the last person to have served as a prime minister. "Xiang Zhang
...You are well-informed. Please tell me, what did the official's last words in the court today mean..." An official said tremblingly. In the court today, the emperor said his last words: "Who told
You must have a Prime Minister in your court?" This sentence made all the ministers in the court confused. What does it mean? There is no Prime Minister? Then where should we send the official documents of the six ministries? What the Prime Minister originally wanted to do
Who will do those things? Isn’t this treating important affairs of government as child’s play? Zhang Jingbang looked at him blankly, and his meaning was very clear. If you ask me, who should I ask? How the hell would I know! But Zhang Jingbang, after all,
He had seen the world, so he thought for a moment, and then asked: "So after the official family dispersed, did they say anything more? Is there any special action?" An official thought for a while: "The official family seems to be saying
, I want to send all the memorials from Zhongshu’s sect and the Privy Council to his palace..." As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath of cold air.
