Therefore, the reasons they used to threaten the emperor with the abolition of the dynasty sounded high-sounding, but in fact they were just unreasonable and unreasonable out of selfishness or interests.
For example, many of them are considered rich and noble in the eyes of the world, but in this powerful capital, they are not even counted as onions, where do they have the confidence and courage to strike the dynasty and threaten the emperor without authorization?
They just go with the flow, protect themselves, and follow the pace of others to make trouble, they don't really care about whether the queen is honored or disgraced, anyway, even if the queen falls, they don't have a daughter or granddaughter to send to the palace to compete for favor, and they don't have any interests with the Feng family, why bother with this kind of nosy?
Therefore, after receiving the hints from their superiors and the advice of their colleagues, they had to sign their names in the recital of the boycott, but they were very frightened in their hearts, and felt that the emperor would not let them go.
-- The emperor didn't dare to take the royal family and all kinds of princes, but it was still easy to take these dispensable small and medium-sized officials, right?
They could only keep praying in their hearts, hoping that there would be a more satisfactory solution to this matter, which would not only satisfy their superiors, but also not make the emperor so angry that he had to take some people to open the knife.
In this mood, after they received the emperor's edict, they were greatly relieved at first: it seems that the emperor is very calm, intends to value peace, and does not immediately take people under the knife.
Then, they felt deeply guilty: they were appointed by the king, but they quit the court without authorization, irresponsible, and did not abide by their duties, which was really not done by the Beijing officials!
Then they were caught in a dilemma: should they resume the court?
The answer should be relatively obvious, the emperor is magnanimous, and if they don't go to the court, they will really be enemies of the king, but if the upper authorities do not restore the upper court, but they go to the imperial court by themselves, wouldn't they offend the superiors?
If you offend your superiors, don't think about mixing it up again in the future!
For a while, they were in a dilemma, and they could only look at the top, will the head go up?
The emperor gave everyone three days to think and decide, and they waited to see the choice from above.
They hoped that the boss would stop fighting with the emperor, and even quietly went to probe the tone of the boss, however, the boss did not express his position on this, and did not mention the emperor's edict, eat when he should eat, drink when he should drink, play when he should play, rest when he should rest, very leisurely, these people saw it, and they understood in their hearts: it seems that the boss does not intend to compromise!
They can only choose to listen to the emperor, or listen to the top!
Bastards, they couldn't help but scold their mothers in their hearts: they are just petty officials as big as sesame seeds or peanuts, and they want to live a small life in peace, but how can they force them to go against the emperor like this?
The emperor's edict is written concisely and neatly, without sensationalism, only the simplest truth, but it contains a warning: If you do not resume the court after three days, it means that you do not distinguish between public and private, are unwilling to perform your duties as a courtier, and do not take the state and society in your eyes, then I can only hold you responsible!
"Unauthorized dismissal of the dynasty" is a very strict dereliction of duty, and it also violates the laws of Shangguo, if the emperor is held accountable, it is still a trivial matter if he can't keep his official hat, and if he is cut off his head, it is not wronged!
These small and medium-sized officials thought about it and felt that there was still only one thing to follow: if you offend the superiors, you will probably have no future, and your life will not be easy, but if you offend the emperor, then it will be directly the official position is not guaranteed, and it is better not to offend the emperor!
Moreover, so many people joined forces to strike the dynasty, but the emperor issued such an edict so quickly, it is obvious that the emperor does not intend to compromise, so what can the princes and officials who initiated this turmoil do to the emperor?
- At least, these princes would never dare to rebel, because the emperor has military power in his hands, and these people do not!
Therefore, no matter how troublesome this matter is, the emperor is still the emperor, no matter how empty the court is, no one is in charge of state affairs, and it can't change the status of the emperor, they still have to choose to listen to the emperor's words to be wise!
Out of these various thoughts, three days later, most of the small and medium-sized officials went to court with trepidation.
When they went to court, they were sneaky, secretive, and went out before dawn, and deliberately took a detour, for fear of being known by their bosses who insisted on opposing the emperor.
If possible, they still don't offend either side, ahem, this is the difficulty of being an official.
When the sun shone slightly in front of the gate of the Jinluan Palace, Qiu Guhan stood directly above the Jinluan Hall again, looking down at the courtiers under the hall.
Seventy or eighty people came, and some of them were not qualified to enter the temple because of their low official positions, so they stood outside the door.
He was a little relieved to see it, but his heart was still calm: almost no one showed up for the big people and princes above the third grade!
In other words, those courtiers with the most power and status still disobey him!
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live—" The courtiers shouted in unison, pulling his thoughts back.
"Flat!" He said aloud, his eyes blazing, "I have seen your loyalty to me and the Great Shangguo, and now, I will personally name and keep in my heart courtiers like you!" ”
Very good, those princes who think they are stronger than him, the emperor, don't want to be reused in this life, he will definitely completely marginalize them in the not-too-distant future, so that those who have no talent and great ambitions have the opportunity to serve the country!
Tong Guò such an accident made him see the true face of his courtiers and know who was available and credible, and it was not too sad.
As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone in the hall immediately lit up, and their spirits were lifted: Sure enough, they didn't make the wrong choice!
Qiu Guhan picked up the booklet that had been prepared a long time ago and recorded the list of all the officials who participated in the boycott, and named them one by one: "King Wei-"
No one should be.
"King Qin—"
No one should be.
"Lee-"
No one should be.
The three princes on the list of the boycott dynasty did not come.
Of course, the royal family still has clan relatives above their status, such as King Xian, Prince Crane and others, but these people don't have to go to the court, and they don't have any real positions and participate in the boycott of the dynasty, so Qiu Guhan naturally doesn't have them in the roster.
After the three kings, he was the highest-ranking and powerful minister.
The first important minister that Qiu Guhan thought of was: "Xia Guogong-"
No one should be.
Something to be expected! Qiu Guhan sneered in his heart and pronounced the second name: "Mrs. Ji-"
Of course Ji Heng won't come, and he didn't see Ji Heng, but there were a lot of Ji Heng's cronies, probably to see the situation.
"Minister-" However, to Qiu Guhan's surprise, as soon as his voice fell, Ji Heng's voice came from outside the gate.
The voice was short, panting, and it sounded like Ji Heng was tired.
He raised his eyes and saw Ji Heng wearing a neat official uniform and hat, running in from the outside quickly, kneeling down as soon as he entered the hall, his kneeling posture was extremely standard, and his tone was extremely respectful: "The minister has suffered from wind cold and cough in the past few days, and he has been getting up a little late, so he is late, please ask the emperor to condemn him——"
