Chapter 88: Never use Li Xingzhou
The Tang system, if there is no sudden military event.
There are two times a month, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
At each court meeting, all officials above the sixth rank in Beijing need to arrange shifts to go to the court.
Due to the three-day holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the time of the second great court meeting in August was moved to August 17.
That is, the first morning after the end of the holiday.
With the nine explosions of the whip of the Inner Eunuch in the Jing Palace, the civil and military officials who had finished the shift immediately stopped all kinds of discussions, and after everyone took care of the official hats, they entered the Xuanzheng Hall in the Luoyang Palace City according to their ranks.
The two shifts stood still, and after the royal history of the palace on duty corrected the young, they listened to the music of the Dan Majesty behind the palace.
In the sound of brilliant music, the Empress Wu came from the dragon line behind the hall and ascended to the throne.
As soon as Wu Zetian sat down, the civil and military officials danced and worshiped under the leadership of King Wei and Wu Chenghei, the left minister of Wenchang.
Long live the mountain, its sound is so loud that it spreads for miles, and the entire palace city can be faintly heard.
After the worship dance, the imperial history in the palace took the lead.
Playing the auspicious things of the world's various ways and eight hundred bonds.
The Empress Wu listened to it and led slightly.
After all, after the palace finished playing, the hundred officials followed suit.
The words of auspiciousness are the sage of the Son of Heaven, and they are in accordance with the heavens and should be in people.
The ministers congratulated, and the military queen made a good speech to encourage the officials, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty thanked him again.
At this point, the routine procedures were completed, and the Great Dynasty Meeting officially began.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the season has entered the late autumn, the so-called "Xiongnu grass yellow horse is Jinshan west to see smoke and dust flying ......" autumn high horse season.
It was the time when there were many things in the border area, and first several prime ministers of the political affairs hall went out to play the side affairs of the Quartet.
Subsequently, the heads of various departments reported on the collection of taxes such as rent and adjustment in various provinces.
There is no obstacle to the side affairs, and the tax collection is normal.
In fact, the government hall has long known about this kind of thing, and has already submitted the regulations to the inner palace before that.
At this time, it was announced in public that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were allowed to check and fill in the gaps.
After the officials no longer doubt the righteousness, the regulations will be officially issued and implemented.
After all, after the military and political, financial, and civil affairs were discussed, the prime ministers returned to their shifts.
Subsequently, there were officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory who inspected the chapters that the imperial envoys sent back to Beijing from all over the world, and played 21 local officials.
There are rules to follow for dealing with things like this.
Wu Zetian on the throne only needs to assign officials to verify and punish according to the rules.
Subsequently, there were officials of the Ministry of Rites who went to the local Daozhou to report on the martyrs of the festival.
Officials of the Ministry of Industry reported on the construction and repair of local post roads and bridges.
In this way, there are all kinds of things, and all the six departments of the imperial city and each station, temple, and prison have all played.
The imperial court directly governs 360 states, in addition to which there are 800 states.
The empire is too big, Lala is too mixed, and there are too many trivial things.
In addition, there are only two such pilgrimage meetings in a month.
Even if the imperial city has nothing to do, they should try to find something to play it.
It's good to put on a face in front of the Son of Heaven and show hard work, showing diligence.
It's all a natural thing, and there's nothing to say.
Fortunately, although there are many things, there are rules to follow, but Wu Zetian has actually been in charge for no less than 20 years.
He has long been familiar with state affairs, and he has never mentioned it one by one.
After all, the big and small things have been taken care of, and the court meeting has been going on for more than an hour.
At this time, the government hall and the various offices have finished their work.
The following is the time for the free march of civil and military officials, the so-called "play early if you have something to do, and retreat from the dynasty and disperse the class ......"
At this point, the officials will no longer have to observe the distinction between official duties as they did just now, and will be allowed to perform their duties freely.
As soon as Wu Zetian announced the order of the hundred officials, Li Siwei, the national superintendent, immediately came out of the class to ask for the abolition of Tongke.
"Scientific examiners, the ceremony of selecting talents, and selecting talents for the country, must not be careless. The general science is also, unprecedented, Dougu does not hear of it, especially the cautious ministers think that this matter should not be acted upon......"
Li Siwei just spoke.
In Wenchen's shift, the secretary Lang Cui Yuanqing walked out again, holding a wat board and playing.
What Li Jiancheng said is extremely true. The new general science in the imperial examination in the next year should be abolished. ”
It is His Majesty's Imperial Travel, and the ministers also think that it cannot be too serious, and it is advisable to ask the ministers to discuss the pros and cons in detail, and if it can be done, it is not too late to do it......"
The Guozi Prison is a subordinate official in the Guozi Prison.
The secretary is a subordinate officer of the secretary superintendent.
After these two people proposed, it immediately attracted harmony
"The minister seconded the proposal! The name of the general branch is to absorb the strengths of others, but in fact, it is a mixture of patchwork, not a donkey or a horse. Scientific research is the place of the world's scholars. ”
"If this general department of non-donkey and non-horse is set up in the scientific examination, then what do the scholars of the world think, and the ministers think that it must be abolished......"
The minister also agreed. Now that it is a general department, Shilin is already a group of people, and they all think that it is impossible. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he will be able to take the hearts of the people as his heart and conform to the will of the people, and he will be able to stop Tongke......"
"The minister seconded the ......"
"The minister seconded the ......"
One after another, for a while, Tongke really became a street rat.
There was a sound of resignation in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Seeing this, the initiator came from Guozixue and the secretary superintendent.
Seven or eight out of ten seconders are the sons of the old families of the Northlands.
The courtiers belonging to the Wu Party and the Li Party in the shift were all silent, neither speaking against nor seconding the proposal.
This is a rare collective voice of the centrist in recent years, and the momentum is in full swing.
The two parties of Wu and Li really can't stand up for this matter that has nothing to do with themselves, and they are happy to watch the excitement.
Of course, there are also many people in the Wu and Li parties who secretly ridicule themselves in their hearts.
The children of the Shi clan have always shouted benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they claim to repay grievances with virtue.
Now that the imperial examination has just passed, he is so crazy to fight back, and there is still a little bit of family bearing in such a behavior?
This is clearly because the imperial examination has lost face, and after hurting the reputation, he is red-eyed, and he wants to abolish the general department.
This excitement is really getting more and more interesting!
The centrists echoed the crowd and echoed Lou Shide, one of the five prime ministers of the political affairs hall who was standing at the forefront of the shift, raised his head.
Wu Zetian's face did not move after seeing his eyes, but he shook his head imperceptibly.
As soon as he saw Wu Zetian's eyes, Lou Shi Deton, who had already coughed and was about to leave the class, immediately withdrew his foot.
Lowered his eyebrows and listened to the officials' recitals.
Seeing that all those who came out of the court were all in the court, they demanded the abolition of the general department.
Lu Yuanfang, who ranked second in the train, walked out slowly.
In Fang Jin's dynasty, Lu Yuanfang is in the second phase, and his status and respect are also the largest.
Seeing him out of class, the ministers of the full hall moved their eyes to come over, and their voices naturally quieted down.
In the magnificent Xuanzheng Palace, Lu Yuanfang's gray hair is extremely eye-catching:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the establishment of the general department is not suitable for changing the order overnight......"
As soon as Prime Minister Lu said this, the centrists' expressions changed.
But there was really nothing they could do about him.
Lu Yuanfang has never been a group or a party, nor has he had the habit of waiting and seeing the situation before making speeches.
Although he has suffered many setbacks in his life because of this, he has never changed his mind.
When it comes to this prime minister Lu, the centrists can't make a political deal with him.
After Lu Yuanfang finished speaking, Wu Zetian's face did not move, and even his voice could not hear any preferences.
"Aiqing has been leading the election for many years, but if she thinks about it, she should speak ...... bluntly"
"Yes."
Lu Yuanfang bowed slightly behind him and continued.
"From the system of Shiqing Shilu to the inspection, and then to the nine-product view of people, until the imperial examination and selection of talents customized by this dynasty, since ancient times, the method of selecting people has changed many times."
"However, in this way, the dynasty does not have the reason to rest on its laurels on the way to selecting people, although the general branch has not existed in ancient times, but this dynasty may not be able to have ......"
Seeing that there was a centrist official in the hall who spoke, Lu Yuanfang waved his hand,
"Naturally, the pros and cons of Tongke are undecided. However, because of this, I feel that I should try to get a subject, and after a subject, the advantages and disadvantages will be immediately apparent, and it is not too late to do it again. ”
"Furthermore, the quota for recruiting talents in the general department will not be more than ten in the next year, even if it is inappropriate, it will not be a big problem if it is cut off by the imperial court......"
After Lu Yuanfang finished speaking, Cui Yuanzong, who was ranked next to the five prime ministers, was about to go out to speak.
saw Lou Shide, who was in front of him, taking the lead in the ranks.
"What Lu Xiang said is very true, like such an empty mouth and the petal can't see the good or bad in the end, if you try to get a subject. If there is something inappropriate, it will not be too late to repeal it......"
Wu Zetian looked at Lou Shide, and the approval in his eyes flashed.
Cui Yuanzong, who wanted to leave the class, saw Lu and Lou like this.
With a slight retraction under his feet, he looked at Wu Chenghe, who was at the top of the ranks.
Wu Chengji saw Cui Yuanzong's eyes.
Then he cast a burning gaze with a deep sense of inquiry.
Seeing this scorching heat and exploration, Cui Yuanzong was stunned.
He understood what Wu Chengji meant, but the matter was too big for him to call the shots.
Compared to this, Tongke and Li Xingzhou are nothing.
Wu Chengsi is calculating, but is Cui Yuanzong a fool?
Seeing that Cui Yuanzong didn't respond to his eyes, Wu Chenghei was annoyed.
These days, he is the respect of the king of Wei and the respect of the first assistant to inquire about the daily life of the eight elders of the family.
For the Saga gate valve, in short, it is enough courtesy to the centrists.
I don't think these people still refuse to show the slightest hint.
Witness the eyebrows of Cui Yuanzong and Wu Chenghe.
, Li Zhaode, who lived between the two, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and lowered his eyebrows just like Lou Shide, who was suitable.
At this moment, Wu Zetian on the throne said loudly.
"What the Qing family said is reasonable, but the advantages and disadvantages of the general science are useless, and try to take a subject and then make a decision. As for the quota, ten or too many seven people can ......"
For a politician like Wu Zetian, who is skillful in his means.
She made a compromise between the two sides, neither abolishing Tongke, but also cutting nearly one-third of Tongke's quota in one fell swoop, which can be said to be appeased on both sides.
Although the centrists were unwilling, it was the two rulers who spoke out against the abolition.
In addition, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knew Wu Zetian's habit of governing the government, and she never spoke easily when she encountered problems, and listened to a lot of advice from all sides.
However, once he speaks, it is difficult to think about it more easily.
At this point, the addition of general subjects in the scientific examination can be regarded as a temporary end.
As for Li Xingzhou, some officials in the center were ready to go on this matter again, but they were blocked by Cui Yuanzong's gaze.
The court meeting ended, because the prime ministers of the political hall had another way.
Many centrist officials who had never dispersed surrounded Lu Minglun.
After listening to what everyone said, Lu Minglun calmed them down, and after the officials dispersed, he went to the political affairs hall.
Each of the five prime ministers in the government hall has his own office.
Lu Minglun saw that there was no one in the room, so he asked directly.
"Although the matter of the general science above the meeting of the Shicai Dynasty has been decided, but Li Xingzhou has not reached a conclusion, why doesn't Lord Cui let this matter be played?"
Cui Yuanzong stretched out his hand and pointed to the stool in the room.
"Your Majesty is clearly biased in the matter of Tongke, with the situation at that time, if it is the matter of Li Xingzhou, what does Minglun think will the result be?"
Lu Minglun was silent.
"If what a certain expects, once this matter is raised, as soon as the Empress Wu opens Chrysostom, what will happen to us?"
"But what's the difference now?"
Hearing this, Cui Yuanzong smiled rarely, but this smile was extremely stiff.
"It's a big difference! Tongke is Tongke, Li Xingzhou is Li Xingzhou, how can the two be the same? ”
Hearing this, Lu Minglun finally understood.
"That, what does Lord Cui mean is like ......"
Cui Yuanzong didn't speak, just nodded silently.
After the dissolution of the Great Dynasty, Wu Zetian did not summon the courtiers alone to discuss matters, but went back to the inner palace directly.
A lot later, the news came from the harem: Li Xingzhou will never be used
