Chapter 0313 - Exchanging Career for Career
The officials entered the hall of the arch.
As soon as the time of the dynasty arrived, Chen Lin announced 'the dynasty'.
The officials bowed down one after another to greet Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun.
After the two of them were seated, the officials began to salute.
In Zhao Zhen's sentence of 'flat body', the officials straightened up and stood still.
Chen Lin announced again, 'Something to start, nothing to retreat'.
The officials began to do their work.
No one spoke up to impeach Koji.
The rules of the Great Dynasty Meeting are also the rules of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the first thing to be invited must be the most recent important matter from the government and the opposition, and the matter of impeachment must be moved to the end.
If someone speaks out to impeach someone before they ask for something important, Kou Zhun will definitely let the palace avant-garde put people out.
Regardless of whether he is justified or not, it is a big mistake to disobey the rules, and it is inevitable to be dismissed from office.
And it's still someone who no one dares to help intercede.
After the beginning of the Great Pilgrimage.
The first to speak was Xiang Minzhong's fourth son, Xiang Chuanshi, who took Xiang Minzhong's place and handed over a copy requesting beggar bones.
The reason is that Xiang Minzhong's fourth son handed over an invitation to the herald, not to Minzhong's eldest son, Xiang Chuanzheng.
That's because Xiang Chuanzheng is not qualified to enter the vertical arch hall.
Among the five sons of the Xiang family, only the fourth son of Xiang Min is Xiang Chuanshi and the fifth son Xiang Chuanfan who are qualified to enter the vertical arch hall.
handed the transcript to the herald, and Zhao Zhen rejected it in court.
Xiang Shi repeatedly asked for it, and even cried bitterly in court, begging the court to allow Xiang Minzhong to retire for a long time.
Zhao Zhencai reluctantly agreed to resign from Minzhong.
and took the position of governor of Xiang Minzhong in court and crowned him as a lieutenant.
At the same time, he promoted the five sons of the Xiang family and the official position of Xiang Minzhong's son-in-law, Huangfu Yu.
In addition, he also made up for Xiang Minzhong's two grandchildren.
And as Xiang Minzhong's grandson-in-law, Kou Ji also advanced to the first level.
Promoted to Cao Shilang, a four-rank power official.
Although his official position has risen, Kou Ji's authority has not changed much.
is still the second person in the ministry.
Kou Ji's way to be promoted was originally pressed by Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Zeng and others, afraid that he would be promoted too quickly, to the point where he could not be promoted.
But now Xiang Minzhong is exchanging his career for the career of his relatives, and they can't hold it down.
can only let Kou Ji be promoted.
Through this series of promotions, it is not difficult to see that during Xiang Minzhong's time in the court, his sons were not promoted, and a large part of it was because of him.
Xiang Minzhong also saw this reason, so he repeatedly resigned.
After Zhao Zhen's grace, Xiang Chuanshi, Xiang Chuanfan, and Kou Ji, on behalf of the other people who were promoted in Xiang Fu, thanked Zhao Zhen Longen together.
This was followed by a discussion on the selection of candidates for the governor's office.
Because when Xiang Minzhong resigned, Li Di was elected as the governor.
Therefore, there was no need for court recommendation, and the imperial court directly adopted his recommendation and appointed Li Di to serve as the governor again.
Li Di was reappointed as the governor of the council, and at the same time he still served as the secretary of the household department.
Before finding a suitable candidate, he will sit firmly in the position of the head of the household.
If it was before, Li Di could concurrently serve as the secretary of the household department, and concurrently served until he was unwilling to receive the household department again.
Because before the household department had no power.
However, this time is different from the past, and when the Ministry of Household Affairs was deposed, it more or less grabbed some power.
Nowadays, the household department is also a powerful yamen, and it will inevitably be targeted by many people.
I believe that in the near future, someone will ask Li Di to give up the position of the household department and let others take the position.
After Li Di served as the governor of the council, the matter was discussed.
The imperial court discussed for a while the issue of the removal of the Xiang army on Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road.
Since the imperial court has now abolished the Xiang Army in Northern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang, the reduction of the Xiang Army in the border has become a foregone conclusion, so when the Xiang Army in the Southeast Frontier was abolished, although the martial artists were struggling, they did not show such a strong desire to resist.
Soon after, when the Western Frontier Army was abolished, it is estimated that the martial artists would not have much resistance.
Judging by their posture, as long as they don't move the forbidden army and the box army in other places outside the frontier, they don't plan to resist fiercely.
The box army set up by the imperial court on the frontier actually didn't have much oil and water to fish.
After all, there will be wars all year round, and the civilian officials in the border areas are also staring at them to death, and occasionally fishing for oil and water, so they can't get much from the border army.
Abandoning the oil and water of the frontier army, although it was painful for them, it did not hurt their muscles and bones.
After the discussion of the issue of dismantling the army in the southeastern frontier.
The waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette came out of class and played: "The minister impeached Kou Ji, the waiter of the Ministry of Officials, for abusing his power, abusing his power for personal gain, and fooling the people of the world. β
Kou Zhun sat on the imperial stairs and asked nonchalantly, "Do you have a certificate?" β
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately listed Kou Ji's crimes such as disrupting the autumn scientific examination with out-of-the-ordinary test questions and playing with Shilin Sulao.
After listening to his narration, it was as if Kou Ji had become a man of great sins.
Kou Zhun listened without a response.
Zhao Zhen was not happy, he stood up and said loudly: "The questions of the Kaifeng Mansion Qiuqiu Imperial Examination this time are from me, and they have nothing to do with Kou Ji. The crimes of Kou Ji in your mouth are all based on the questions of the imperial examination.
You're impeaching Kou Ji, and you're obviously scolding me by impeaching Kou Ji. β
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites bowed and said, "The minister doesn't dare to ...... However, it is a fact that Kou Ji disturbed the imperial examination in the autumn period. β
Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "You are referring to Sang scolding Huai's impeachment." β
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites gritted his teeth and said, "Official, Kaifeng Mansion Qiufu Examination Questions, who came out with them, it is well known. The minister knew that the official family was kind to Kou Ji, but the official family should not stand up for the courtier. β
After a pause, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites arched his hand and said, "The minister impeached Kou Ji again for a big crime of framing the king." β
Zhao Zhen said unhappily: "Well-known? I would like to ask, who else knows but you? β
When Zhao Zhen's voice landed, some officials with low rank, as well as some officials whose protΓ©gΓ©s had fallen off the list in this autumn season, spoke out to impeach Kou Ji.
However, what is surprising is that none of the important ministers in the DPRK and the central government have spoken out to help.
Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng and others were all surprised.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites frequently glanced at the important ministers such as the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Priest.
But people didn't seem to see him.
This came as a surprise to him.
Obviously, the day before yesterday, when the two of them were having a private party, they were still shouting and shouting at Kou Ji to kill, why did they suddenly stop talking?
No important minister spoke, and a group of officials with low rank shouted for a long time, but it was useless.
Not to mention that Kou Ji's grandfather, who was a master yet, has not yet spoken, and the official Zhao Zhen is not something they can deal with.
Just when the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the others were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji without a trace.
He thought that Kou Ji was just talking casually when he was in Jin Mingchi, but he didn't expect to act so fast and really bribe the important ministers of the court.
Others are bribing with money, but he is sending favors to the door.
There is no shortage of money, and there is no shortage of important ministers in the court.
But they have to owe it to them for the favor of helping them write books and speak.
Kou Ji can be regarded as grasping the weakness of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Li Di coughed and said, "Kou Ji, do you really plan to sell the craftsmanship created by the craftsmen in your mansion that is meritorious to the state?" β
Kou Ji slowly came out of class and played: "The minister is willing to dedicate to the court." β
Seeing this, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and others were stunned.
is obviously impeaching Kou Ji, how did it become a treasure for Kou Ji?
However, before they could speak, Li Di took the lead in speaking: "Then you can tell the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty what the craftsmanship worth 10,000 yuan created by the craftsmen in your house is." β
Kou Ji did not hide it, and immediately told the story of movable type printing.
He also explained in detail the convenience of movable type printing.
After Kou Ji finished talking about movable type printing, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.
The one who knows movable type printing, and gets the movable type printing cheap, secretly rejoices.
Those who don't know movable type printing are shocked in the dark center.
After listening to Kou Ji's description, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the others all looked bitter.
They know that there is no hope of success in today's impeachment of Koji.
As long as Kou Ji offered movable type printing and let it be promoted to the whole Song Dynasty, then the readers of the Great Song Dynasty would be favored by him.
After receiving favors from others, you still speak ill of others?
Such an ungrateful act is not done by most people, except for some people who like to drill camp.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites and others also knew why important ministers such as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the Guozi Priest Wine did not speak.
Either they knew the inside story of movable type printing, or they were blessed by movable type.
In the end, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was fined for three months for slandering the officials.
Kou Ji had just been promoted one level earlier, one level older than him.
He failed to impeach Kou Ji, so he naturally had to be punished.
He is not an imperial historian, and he is not qualified to do things.
If he had failed to impeach people, he would not have been punished in any way.
But since Kou Ji entered the court, it has brought this atmosphere to the bottom.
Now don't say it's an ordinary official, even if it's an official of the imperial history, if he maliciously impeaches others without the slightest evidence, he will be punished.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites couldn't steal chickens, and he also lost a handful of rice.
In the complicated eyes of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Kou Ji promised to present movable type printing to the imperial court, and at the beginning of the spring of next year, he would pass on the skills of movable type printing to the general supervisor, and then pass it on to the world.
The reason why I chose to dedicate my craft at the beginning of spring next year is also to allow the printing workshop of Kou Mansion to print the articles and books of those important ministers in the court.
Now immediately dedicate the craft, how to make the important ministers of the court feel superior?
Without a sense of superiority, wouldn't the favor he just got seem less important?
Kou Ji offered movable type printing, which was a good thing in the community, and the imperial court also gave him a certain reward.
rewarded Kou Ji with some money and sealed the history of Baozhou's assassination.
The history of the assassin was only a fictitious title in the Great Song Dynasty, from the fifth grade, it had no jurisdiction over the locality, and there was no corresponding yamen governance, let alone being responsible for anyone.
Cuncui just found a reason and gave Kou Ji an extra salary.
In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there were countless people with the title of assassin.
I haven't seen anyone staring at the name of the assassin to govern the place.
And Bi Sheng, the creator of movable type printing, only got a position that would be the order of the supervisor and the inspector, and he was rewarded with 100,000 yuan from the eighth grade.
At Kou Ji's strong request, the imperial court finally decided to spread movable type printing in the name of Bi's movable type printing.
Kou Ji failed to help Bi Sheng get the same treatment as a jinshi, nor did he help Bi Sheng win a large amount of money and rewards, and the only thing he could help Bi Sheng was fame.
After the imperial court rewarded Bi Sheng, it stands to reason that the court meeting should also end.
Just as Kou Zhun was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, an old voice sounded.
"The minister and the king Qinruo, there is a book to play."
I saw Wang Qinruo, who had not been in the court for a long time, walked out of the train with tears in his eyes, and wailed: "The minister implores the official family to surrender ......"
In an instant, all the appetites of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were hung up by him.
This old man has not been in court for a long time, and he has not gone to the yamen to run errands, what can he be guilty of?
When Kou Ji entered the vertical arch hall just now, he saw this old thing.
It's just that this old guy has been pretending to be sick for almost half a year, and he doesn't care about this old guy.
Now as soon as the old man spoke, Kou Ji felt a hint of something bad.
Zhao Zhen stared at Wang Qinruo, and said with a puzzled face: "Aiqing has been sick at home for half a year, I haven't heard of anything wrong with Aiqing?" β
Wang Qinruo cried loudly: "This year, the Ministry of Officials has verified tens of thousands of officials from the government and the opposition, and there are less than 100 people who have been promoted. β
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.
Less than 100 people have been promoted?
Is this worth it?
In addition to Kou Zhun and the others, the rest of the officials asked one by one, "How can this be?" β
Wang Qinruo said mournfully: "It's my fault, it's all because I have no strength in this body, and I have been sick at home, so I have caused the emperor to be not strict." I implore the officials to punish them. β
Wang Qinruo's words sounded like he was taking credit, but in fact, he was implicitly referring to it.
The officials were not stupid, so they naturally understood the meaning of his words.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji smiled dryly in front of everyone's eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with me......
"How can it have nothing to do with you? Wang Shangshu has been sick at home for half a year, and the officials are up and down, all of which are controlled by you. The verification of political performance and wind evaluation is also presided over by you, and if something goes wrong, it is naturally your fault. β
An official shouted on the spot.
Some important ministers who had received the favor of movable type printing also frowned at this time and said, "Kou Shilang, it is a bit too much for you to do this. At the very least, you are acting recklessly, and at the very least, you are causing chaos in the court. β
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. The reason why 100 people from the government and the opposition have been promoted this year is not my fault, but the fault of your lords. β
When the priest of the country heard this, he was annoyed, "The political achievements and wind reviews of the officials in the government and the opposition are held in the hands of your officials, not in the hands of us and others. β
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Do you remember that the official family was on this vertical arch hall before, and handed over to you the promotion list?" β
The officials were stunned when they heard this.
Kou Ji continued: "Whether or not those officials can be promoted is up to you to decide. β
"Even if we and others rule that some officials cannot be promoted, it doesn't mean that all officials."
"Yes, yes, I remember that the list of officials handed over to us by the official family at the beginning was only a thousand people."
