The next day, Chen Cairen's fight with people in the military department spread all over the court, and the imperial history and civil officials participated in the recital, accusing him of misbelieving, disgrace to the royal family, and losing the emperor's face, and asked the emperor to take back the position of the talented person, so that the talented person could honestly stay in the palace and receive education. There are also officials who are ashamed to say that there is no precedent for harem participation in politics since ancient times, and the emperor's move is really against the ancestors, messing up the court, and chilling the hearts of the majority of poor scholars.

"Weichen students have studied hard for more than ten years, once the high school was sent to a foreign office, three years and six years, changed four places and five positions, the performance is excellent, the accumulated experience is innumerable, and the approval and praise of the colleagues in the peak can be promoted and transferred back to Beijing. I don't want to be just white and don't need to take the palace exam, not even Xiucai, and I haven't taken the Tongsheng exam, so I just got the opportunity to work with Weichen and others, and even faintly pressed others, it's really hard to convince the public! I hope the emperor will take back his fate! ”

"I hope the emperor will take back his life!"

The ministers knelt down and petitioned.

Dong Ge Lao Li Ge Lao Fu Guo Gong Wang Bingzheng and several old ministers looked at their noses and noses and their hearts did not move like a mountain, standing straight there without saying a word, not supporting or opposing, Wang Haoming, the general of the protector of the country, and several generals and nobles also stood still, only gave acquaintances a look, squeezed their eyebrows, and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair naturally saw it clearly.

Gao Shenghan didn't bother to explain, and beckoned impatiently, and Gonggong Deng stood up with interest, shook off the dust, and his sharp voice resounded through the hall.

"Lord Li Wentao, the secretary of the household department, and An Zichang, the secretary of the ministry, you come to tell you about the adults, what positions do Chen Cairen, Shen Cairen, Qin Cairen, and Chu Cairen hold, and what level of salary do they receive?"

The two Shangshu hurriedly came out and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, several talented people are only on temporary duty in the yamen, and they have not gone to the public account of the household department. "The ministry did not delegate the inauguration documents, and everything was done according to the emperor's orders."

The ministers were in an uproar, whispering to each other, and looked at the two Shangshu masters reproachfully.

Nima didn't go and said it earlier! However, even if you don't have an establishment, you can directly enter the ranks of officials, which is also a good opportunity to accumulate contacts! They also want to throw the descendants of rice worms who eat idle meals and have no ability to eat into the yamen to experience and experience! Let them be willing to pay for it!

And there were also courtiers who came out with a recital.

"Weichen thinks it's inappropriate to act like this." After that, he talked at length about how important the archives and documents in the yamen were, if it weren't for the outstanding talents selected through layers of selection, and if it wasn't for those students who read through the history books and were familiar with the canons of the Ming scriptures, how could they take care of the affairs in the yamen!

After listening to this, Gao Shenghan nodded, "What Aiqing said is very true. ”

The courtier thought that he had persuaded the emperor, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to propose the repatriation of the four talented people, but he didn't want the emperor to come lazily again:

"An Shangshu, tell me, how many officials do I have in Da Zhou? How much is a Jinshi ordination? How much is lacking? And how many of them are admitted to the ancestral system? How many more are paid officials? Li Shangshu, you can also calculate, how much Lu Mi salary is paid to my Great Zhou officials every year? What is the number of acres of land for the families of the officials who are rent-free and tax-free every year? Can there be an excess? Is it violated? Can there be officials, eunuchs, businessmen, and people competing for profits? ”

When the courtiers heard it, it was broken! Your Majesty is going to settle accounts with everyone! Just ask, who didn't think carefully and wanted to arrange their students/nephews/sons-in-law and other acquaintances into the yamen? And they really did it to the nepotism! What is the difference between acting like this and the emperor's approach? The more the fields and the better! There are also shops, which family does not divide the number of shops for them when their daughters marry or when their children and grandchildren divide the family? Seriously calculated, there are few people who rent it out to others, and there are many businessmen who entrust the name of the servants at home, but if the emperor wants to be more serious with you, they can't escape the responsibility of a royal majesty who is not strict with his son!

Great Zhou Law: Officials and their dependents are forbidden to do business!

All the courtiers knelt down one after another, and even a few old ministers and generals did not dare to stand anymore. "The emperor is angry! The emperor forgives the sins! ”

Gao Sheng laughed coldly, "I'm not angry at all. I just want to know more details and the truth, not a bunch of twists and turns on the surface. ”

Then, he counted the sons and daughters of several noble families who were seeking jobs, and asked those civil officials: "Do you know why Emperor Taizu gave them this grace and passed it on from generation to generation?" ”

The civil servants did not dare to squeak. The nobles raised their eyebrows and looked proud.

"Because of the rivers and mountains that they helped Taizu to lay down, there is today's prosperous Zhou and a peaceful and prosperous era. At that time, their sons and servants were spilled with blood and yellow sand, and then there were several ups and downs, and there were many people who fell into decline because of such and such reasons, and there were only so many left. After that, he still sighed, and the corners of the young king's eyes were slightly wet.

"Just for this unspeakable credit, that is, their children are not brilliant, as long as they do not have big folds, and there is no deficiency in conduct, how can I not allow them to enjoy the glory and wealth earned by their ancestors?" The nobles who had just cocked their tails proudly couldn't be happy now, they were a little embarrassed, and they lowered their eyelashes and didn't dare to look at people. Compared to their ancestors, they do lack much.

"All of you here, isn't everything you have done for the sake of glorifying our ancestors and blessings for future generations? Don't you want to spread the word and make a name for eternity? "Of course, the traitorous ministers who persecute the loyal and good will also become famous for eternity, but they are notorious. Gao Shenghan covered the corners of his slightly upturned lips and continued to make a sensational speech.

"However, my country is so big, and there are so many people with money, rice, and grain. In recent years, the population has been increasing, and there are many mouths for eating, and there are many disasters and disasters, and rice, grain, and silver money are tight. She looked helpless, "I also knew that I dismissed the harem some time ago to reduce expenses, and now there are these few people left, and they really have my heart, but they are not willing to eat and drink in vain and live a noisy life, so they asked me for this grace, I am willing to share my worries, and I want to do something meaningful for my country, how can I bear to refuse!" I remember that several concubines of the former emperor were awarded official titles because of their meritorious service to the former emperor? ”

The ministers were dripping in cold sweat. Emperor Nima, if you want to give those male favorites to the knighthood, just say it! Why bother going around in such a big circle!

They suddenly realized that this time they were calculated by the emperor!

Gao Shenghan admired the quail-like posture of the ministers with satisfaction, and deliberately sighed: "However, several of my talented people are all good people, saying that they have not yet made meritorious contributions, and they have failed to contribute to my country, and they do not want to get such a reward in vain, and they also say: How unfair it is to all meritorious ministers like this!" ”

Originally, several of the most fierce courtiers heard this, and they had nothing to say. People don't occupy the establishment, and they don't receive money from the household department, but they just help the emperor keep an eye on the bottom, can they still stop it? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will suspect you of bad intentions?
