At the court meeting, the ministers were discussing other things.

The body of the right attendant was taken to the Xianchen Pavilion by the chief of the inner house, and the incarnation was still listening to the government in the court.

From time to time, the ministers swept their eyes away from him, but he didn't see him.

Not long after, the topics at the court meeting changed one after another, and Zhou Jitong suddenly appeared: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

"What's the matter with you, come quickly. Wu Kongdao.

"The minister is playing, the right attendant of the former ministry, Zhang Zhishan, Lord Zhang, can temporarily serve as the acting secretary of the ministry. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned, almost thinking that they had heard it wrong.

Wu Kong smiled, and then his face turned terrily: "Senior Brother Huang, before, it seems that you were also impeaching Master Zhang Zhishan, right? Saying that he disrespects the monarch, why is he now playing him to do things on behalf of the ministers? What do you mean by this? I just impeached one person before, and now I will protect him, you are treating the court as a child's play?"

That Zhou Jitong said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare." The minister is just a public heart, and everything he does is for the court. ”

Zhou Jitong's words fell, and a large number of people quickly attacked him.

Many ministers have seen him unpleasantly before, it's rare that he made such a mistake, isn't it deadly black?

Wu Kong ignored it and only stared at Zhou Jitong: "Senior Brother Huang can defend himself?"

Zhou Jitong said: "It is the duty of the minister to impeach Lord Zhang Zhishan before. The inspector envoy and the inspector secret guard all have the responsibility of 'hearing the wind and doing things', and I heard rumors in the market before, Zhang Zhishan's various actions, there is a disrespectful appearance of the king, and the minister should naturally be impeached. It's not for Lord Zhang Zhishan, but for things and not people, and the responsibility is unavoidable.

However, now that Lord Zhang Zhishan has entered the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion, it has been proved that this is the real virtuous minister of the Great Zhou, who is truly loyal to the monarch and loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. In this way, the minister thinks that the virtuous minister should be reused, and such a pillar of the country, how can he not temporarily act on behalf of the minister's secretary? ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

"The minister also protects Lord Zhang!!" Several other former princes and former princesses were also afraid.

Some ministers couldn't help but want to be cynical, but some ministers saw that some of them were coming and didn't say anything at all.

At this time, Zhou Jitong said: "Lord Zhang, what the deity did before was right and not personal, and he didn't know virtuous and virtuous before, but the official looked away, if he was disrespectful to Lord Zhang, I apologize here." ”

"Wherever and where, Lord Zhou is also responsible. The right attendant of the ministry said with a smile.

There was a yin and yang strange voice next to him: "Hmph, so to speak, His Royal Highness the former eldest prince, Zhou Ji's commander of the guard, but he was impeached wrong......ly before?

It's just that in the middle of the conversation, Wu Kong spoke up: "The inspector envoy has the duty of rumors, and there is no need to check the evidence, if it is really the evidence, there is no need to impeach, and when the inspector envoy provides evidence to me, I will directly detain and interrogate after I give the order." Now we haven't reached that point, because we haven't checked the real distance. As a royal envoy and inspector of the secret guard, it is not an exaggeration for Emperor Zhou's senior brother to hear about it. ”

If you exculpate yourself like this, others will not be able to keep quiet.

Moreover, the clear-eyed minister has gradually seen through it.

"Okay, this is acting!!"

"Your Majesty has long colluded with these people, before this Zhang Zhishan, he must have secretly recommended himself to His Majesty, and won His Majesty's approval, and now he is in the court, deliberately impeached, and then took the initiative to ask to enter the Xianchen Pavilion, so that he can get Zhou Jitong's protection and turn impeachment into protection...... It's all a lot of routine!!"

"Your Majesty, this is to tell us that even if there is a big mistake, as long as it has not become a foregone conclusion, secretly surrendering sincerity, and willingly entering the Xianchen Pavilion, then it can be both blamed and even directly reused. ”

"Do you want to recommend yourself to enter the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion? If you join the Cabinet, will you be able to get a good opportunity to go further?"

"It doesn't seem like a good thing to enter the Xianchen Pavilion...... However, as long as it is not the three kings, it is not a general who goes out to lead the army, the body must be in the imperial ~ capital, and the last dynasty must come to the body, and the entire imperial capital is under the control of His Majesty, so it seems that the body is still under the control of His Majesty. In contrast, entering the Xianchen Pavilion did not lose much freedom, and it was able to reshape the ontology at 'public expense'......"

Many people are a little moved.

"Entering the Xianchen Pavilion, although the body is trapped in it, if it is a sage, it can still go out, but it is not allowed to leave the capital, so what is the difference between staying in other parts of the capital and the body?"

"We are waiting to serve His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and serve the Great Zhou, if you don't want to do it, you can resign, you have not resigned, you just want to get the luck of the Great Zhou, and if you enter the Xianchen Pavilion, you will definitely be able to get more luck of the Great Zhou, this kind of good thing, why should you avoid it?"

A courtier's heart was itching, and he wanted to make a move, but he was hesitant.

In this way, the court meeting ended.

On the second and third days, Wu Kong did not continue to go to court.

The courtiers, in private, are more and more concerned about the matter of "entering the cabinet", and all kinds of discussions are boiling. Ministers, constantly visiting each other in their own bodies or incarnations.

Some people even went to the Shangshu Mansion of the former Ministry of Officials to visit, but secretly asked him if he planned to enter the Xianchen Pavilion.

"If you are willing to enter the Cabinet of Virtuous Ministers, you must be reinstated, otherwise...... This investigation is far away. The investigation is not over, and it is impossible to resign. What's more, if an official who is suspended from his post has his luck plummeted, how is it different from losing his position?"

Some people secretly persuaded the former minister, but in fact, it was just a temptation.

On the other hand, Zhang Zhishan, who temporarily acts as an agent to deal with the affairs of the ministry, is also a city with countless officials ~ members coming and going, "exploring the mysteries".

The ministers wanted to pay a visit to Wu Kong, but they didn't have anything really important, so they went directly to meet the Emperor of Heaven?

Some time ago, they had an excuse to visit Wu Kong, but now they have fewer excuses.

Gradually, for nearly a week, Wu Kong asked people to inform him that he would go to court tomorrow.

The next day, after some deliberations, the left squire of the military department of the court recommended himself and asked to enter the Xianchen Pavilion.

Wu Kong pretended to ask people to take out Zuo Shilang's merit book, and after looking at it, he made a big point: "Past merits prove that Qing is really virtuous, and he can enter the cabinet of virtuous ministers." ”

So, he was admitted to the cabinet.

However, as soon as this Zuo Shilang entered the cabinet, there was Shen Yun, the ninth lady, who was the leading general.

As a mere "inspector and secret guard", he can't help but play it, but as a former princess, at least she has the title of duke. It is okay to not be cut, so it is okay to sponsor Zuo Shilang.

"The minister heard that there were thieves rebelling in the East Pole Prefecture, and they urgently needed to be suppressed by a large army. Today, the left squire of the military department, Yunwen Yunwu, the minister sponsors, and the left squire of the military department, can be the general of the army to suppress the rebels in the East Pole State, and he is also the superintendent. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

Wenchen does not lead troops, and military generals do not supervise troops. The civil and military contain each other.

But now, he has directly sponsored Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, who is both a military attache and a civilian official, and has led a large army outside to supervise himself.

Such a fat difference...... It's so eye-popping.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules!!" A military department Shangshu jumped out: "The military department has always only been in charge of logistics matters, and Shangshu is not suitable for leading the army and leading the expedition, not to mention being the superintendent?"

Wu Kong smiled: "The rules can be changed, I look at Zuo Shilang, Yunwen Yunwu, let him lead a soldier to suppress the place, it's nothing." Nowadays, in the territory of the Great Zhou Emperor, there are beacons everywhere, and above the court, one talent is used for two purposes, which can quench the thirst for talents. Well, let Zuo Shilang temporarily be the general of the expedition to the east, lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 elite and 70,000 auxiliary soldiers, and go to Dongji Prefecture to quell the chaos......"

The chief manager next to him immediately stepped forward to draft the decree, and Wu Kong sealed it in court.

The eyes of all the ministers were red, and there was no need to mention all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"This kind of good thing actually fell on the top of the head of that soldier who asked Zuo Shilang? Why isn't it the official? ”

"It must be because that Zuo Shilang entered the 'Xianchen Pavilion'. Your Majesty, this is a temptation and coercion, and you want me and others to enter the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion. ”

"When today's emperor, this move was not done by the Ming monarch, it will be recorded in the annals of history, and it will be despised by future generations. But...... At this time, the effect of this trip is quite significant......"

"This official, do you also want to try to recommend yourself to enter the Xianchen Pavilion?"

"I thought that if the boss above was not impeached and left, even if he entered the Xianchen Pavilion, it would not be of any benefit. But now it seems...... Not to mention that there is a big guy above the official, even if he is at the head of the six departments, what is the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the department, as long as he is willing to enter the Xianchen Pavilion, it will definitely be of great benefit, His Majesty will always come up with a method of reward, it is difficult to have the so-called 'promotion can not be promoted', even if it is so, it is ......"

After that, as expected.

In court, there were some people with not very high official positions at the court meeting, and they also recommended themselves to enter the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion.

The official position of these guys is not high, and they have a calculation in their hearts: "The status of this official is not high, if you don't take advantage of it now, many high-ranking officials will ask to be stationed in the Xianchen Pavilion later, then how can it be your turn to get this official? It is better to take advantage of the fact that now, the number of people entering is not large, when Your Majesty is thirsty for loyalty, hurry up to show loyalty, and the body will enter the Xianchen Pavilion, it will definitely not be easily rejected, and it will be reused in the future!!"

Thinking about this, it is natural to recommend yourself one by one.

Wu Kong smiled: "All the Qings have this intention, and they are all willing to be virtuous ministers, this is really the luck of the court, the luck of the Great Zhou, I naturally will not refuse." Well, this matter will be temporarily handed over to the commanders of the inspector and the secret guard, which Aiqing is loyal to his duty and has no great merit, and he can enter the cabinet. Either for the middle sage or for the upper sage, or for the time being, the lower sage, then it is up to me to decide. ”

In the previous Xianchen Pavilion, there was only the distinction between the upper and middle sages, and there was no lower sage. But now, there are more people who want to enter the cabinet, and the Xianchen Pavilion is hot, so it is necessary to make one more virtuous. If necessary, you can also make a quasi-virtuous and a great virtuous in the future, and you are not afraid that the level is not enough, and the treatment division is also different.

Now there are too many people who strongly want to join, Wu Kong can't deal with them all, it is impossible to give them all, at least pick out a few, and if you don't give them in, then the quota is precious.

Moreover, it cannot be directly reused when entering the cabinet, some of it must be reused first, and some of it should be reused first...... This is the emperor's mental technique, and the way of the courtiers.

Subsequently, he retreated.

All the ministers went to the original monks and the former prince and the former princess, and they were all very enthusiastic and invited to the banquet.

The ministers with a slightly higher status will find a way to meet Wu Kong privately in the imperial study, and when the time comes, he will hint that he wants to enter the cabinet, and he should not be easily refused.

The incarnation of the three kings, watching all this in the court, was secretly annoyed, but they didn't say too much, because even if they insisted on stopping it, they couldn't stop it, and they couldn't get a result because of a conflict, this kind of thing, the three kings didn't do it.

"Villain Means!!"

"That Wu Kong really has some ability. It's just that to govern the world, it is this kind of villainous method that is not afraid of leaving infamy in the annals of history. ”

It's just that this is a sour statement, and it's useless to be annoyed.

Soon after, a number of ministers were stationed in the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion one by one.

Above the court, some people impeached other ministers, and from time to time they said: "When this official enters the cabinet of virtuous ministers, he will be virtuous, and His Majesty will be holy and wise, and he will always be clear." How can this official act of corrupting his personal morality? On the contrary, it is you, my lord...... has not entered the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion, this virtuous and unvirtuous is still between the two. The ministers heard that the Ming monarch should be 'pro-virtuous ministers and far villains', and the court should also reuse virtuous ministers and abandon villains. Your Excellency...... I'm afraid it's not suitable for the current position......"

Take not entering the Virtuous Pavilion as the criterion for the other party's "virtuous" and "unvirtuous", and carry out a moral attack.

For a time, many ministers were in danger.

There are people who want to resign and go, but the inspector secretly investigates and impeachs him, and the official ~ member has to be ordered to reflect on it, and he must be investigated slowly, and he can't leave Beijing, and the soldiers and horses in Beijing listen to Wu Kong, and the luck of the entire Great Zhou Emperor ~ The luck and the big array of the city protector are also under the control of Wu Kong, and if you don't want someone to leave the emperor ~ capital, unless it is the three kings, it is impossible to leave. Unless you are tough, you are not afraid of being wanted by the world.

In this way, more courtiers had to join the Virtuous Ministers' Pavilion.

"If you don't enter the Virtuous Minister's Pavilion, your official morality is suspicious. Entered the Xianchen Pavilion, and there is no loss of morality. ”

This standard that is not ridiculous has become one of the real new standards in the imperial court.

Since then, the entire upper echelons of the imperial court, the civil official system, have been under the control of Wu Kong. If you want to set up an intelligence group like "Secret Guard" ~ Weaving a spy group ~ organization, no one dares to object, even if it is the Three Kings, there is no way to stop it.

Unless you directly hard top and turn around and rebel, you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

"Hateful Wu Kong, it's not so easy to completely control Da Zhou. Hmph, it's a big deal, the deity is really the opposite. ”

It's just that, after all, now that the overseas countries are about to invade, once they rebel, the overseas countries will take advantage of the situation to speed up, and then they will only benefit from the fishermen, and the three kings will not be able to reap any benefits. If he surrenders abroad, he will finally get a position that is more honorable than the current Three Kings? Therefore, it is better not to rebel than not to rebel.

In addition, although the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, it was not completely dissipated, such as the dragon although it was highly poisonous and sick, but it was not really killed, this kind of chaos will still be counterattacked, and in addition, I don't know if the previous generation of the Great Zhou Heavenly Emperor was really reincarnated, or he is still staring at the situation of the Great Zhou in the dark.

This is the reason why the three kings still hesitate and do not dare to rebel.

And it was also at this time that Wu Kong issued an order to send the world to the world, so that the first, second-in-command, and third-in-command of all states and states in the world would all go to Beijing and Jin to discuss major matters. Moreover, there is also a decree issued to many garrison generals who are not under the control of the local government, and they are also allowed to enter Beijing to see them.
