Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Old Guy
After the Manchu officials drank the tea, Zhu Houzhao had no interest in chatting any further. He was really afraid that some officials who drank the spiced tea would not be able to control themselves and do something insulting under Lang Lang.
Sure enough, after the big eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao hissed and roared out of the scattered dynasty, many bigwigs from various departments with red faces and red ears as if they were robes on their bodies walked out of the palace gate with their waists bent over like shrimp. What surprised Zhu Houzhao even more was that these people's degrees were not slow at all, and they could run out of Liu Xiang's degree with their legs even if they were lying down.
Zhu Houzhao, who walked out of the apse, did not rush back to see the villain, but cultivated his sentiments among the pavilions and pavilions in the imperial garden. It's a little tired. casually moved his muscles and bones, and he could hear the crackling sound of many bone joints around his body. If he didn't know his own condition, Zhu Houzhao would even think that he had practiced some peerless magic skills at this moment.
After the next dynasty, several cabinet elders did not leave. After the other officials were in a hurry, several old men with wide robes and wide sleeves joined forces in the imperial garden.
The guards in the garden turned a blind eye to the old men. First, after so many years, they have also become accustomed to the style of the elders, and secondly, His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of letting them stop them.
When several old men with an average age of more than 60 years old found Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao had just finished his morning exercise, and he was sitting in a close-fitting suit in the gazebo holding fish food and feeding the 10,000-tailed koi in the water.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Houzhao didn't look back, because there was no need. The footsteps of several old men like old horses are easily recognizable.
"The old minister is in charge, thank Your Majesty for not killing him!"
Zhu Houzhao looked back, and it was an old man who was not too old to speak, his head was only half white, and his spirit was a little more vigorous than the others. However, he didn't know this person, probably because he had been away for too long, and he didn't know much about the promotion and change of many officials.
This was the case in the Ming Dynasty, although the replacement of cabinet members required the nod of the emperor, but more important was the qualifications of the officials themselves, and whether there were other highly respected cabinet elders to recommend. After everyone agrees, they can go to work in the cabinet office in the palace. Otherwise, just relying on the emperor's decree to name and promote him will not be recognized by the majority of officials, and even a large number of people will look down on him and do not want to associate with him.
During the period of Zhu Houzhao's campaign, most of the personnel changes were due to the fact that the cabinet and the inner court hit it off, although there was Zhu Houzhao's remote management, but because there was no photographic technology at that time, and there was no online network, most of the officials who worked hard to get promoted Zhu Houzhao only knew his name.
Zhang Cheng, the eunuch beside him, has always been a well-behaved person, and as soon as he saw that his master didn't seem to know the name of this official, he immediately leaned up and said: "This person is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, named Liu Yu." He was promoted from the position of the left deputy capital of the Imperial Court in December last year. ”
After Zhang Cheng's introduction, Zhu Houzhao immediately understood the reason why Liu Yu came to Fang Cai's sentence as soon as he came up. In the final analysis, Yushi Guan Yao is also his subordinate, and Liu Yu is an important responsible person for the incident of slandering the emperor in the book, although Guan Yao may not listen to him, but he is determined by this black cauldron.
However, because he was grateful for the great kindness of His Majesty the Emperor as soon as he came up, he said a lot of excuses, but he was very reluctant in his heart, and Zhu Houzhao was embarrassed to say anything more. After all, Zhu Houzhao has been a relatively benevolent boss to his subordinates for so many years.
But Zhu Houzhao didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and after looking at him twice, he said to Zhang Cheng: "What, you said that Liu Aiqing hasn't drunk tea yet?" Why don't you get a drink! ”
Soon, Zhang Cheng went and returned, and invited Liu Yu to the side for tea. After a while, the red-faced Zhang Cheng bent his waist to ask His Majesty the Emperor to resign, but was stopped by Zhang Cheng, and he was beaten without a trace in minutes.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu, he was suddenly in a hurry, and he left first for fear of polluting this imperial garden." After Zhang Cheng came back, he reported the incident, and his voice was deliberately not small, and several old men who came with him looked at each other.
Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly: "It seems that Liu Aiqing is really in a hurry, and she ran away without saying hello, not just where she went." ”
Cabinet assistant Yang said: "Don't care about him, anyway, it's the same with him here or not." ”
Lao Yang said this domineeringly, but it is very realistic, after all, the qualifications are there.
Zhu Houzhao snorted and asked, "I just saw it in the court, I don't know why a few pavilion elders chased it here again?" ”
Lao Yang was not happy, and looked at a few people around him, who were now people who had been in the cabinet for two years, and then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, we are all our own people here, don't beat around the bush." Lao Chen knows that Lao Chen is to blame for this, but isn't this also a way to do it? You are far overseas, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty asked the old minister to stabilize the country, what can the old minister do, he can't send the queen mother clipper to you! Even if you let you send it, the old minister is not at ease! ”
Zhu Houzhao listened to Lao Yang's complaints quietly, and waited until the old man vomited bitter water before saying, "I know that you are a distressed queen, but you make it very difficult for me to do this." ”
Seeing Zhu Houzhao say this, Lao Yang continued to spit bitterness and said: "Your Majesty, this is just an expedient measure. You should also know how many recitals ask you and the queen to give birth to a prince to stabilize the country's foundation, and what you see is only a part of it, and it is even more piled up in the cabinet. If the old minister doesn't want to pay attention to the birth of the prince, I am afraid that when Your Majesty returns, the cabinet will be submerged in the ministers' documents. ”
"It's a good idea, but isn't it a bit too much? Knowing that I am no longer in the palace, do you think that my green hat is fun to wear, or do you think that the old Zhu family's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can't sit still? ”
Zhu Houzhao was already angry when he said this, especially the last sentence almost scared Lao Yang. Coveting the boss's private property, no matter which dynasty it is placed in, is a sin of peeling and cramping.
"The old minister doesn't dare!" Lao Yang explained again and again.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Let me ask you, even if you get a tanuki to change the prince, why do you still say that this child was born to me and the queen, can't you just find a woman?" ”
After listening to Zhu Houzhao's question, Lao Yang suddenly calmed down and said, "The old ministers are all thinking about the queen." The emperor doesn't know that it has been more than three years since you and the queen got married, and this should have given birth to a baby in ordinary people's homes, but you two have not moved. This made many people gradually have some rumors about the queen, you must know that women who can't have children are ominous people in the eyes of the people. So the old minister dared to take the name of the queen without your consent...... After all, the sister-in-law is the eldest son, and the position is more stable. ”
"That's the prince, what do you want me to do?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Lao Yang smiled slightly: "The minister thinks that there is not much difference between a two-year-old baby and a three-year-old baby, as long as the emperor raises the prince in the palace, and then shows his subjects after three or five years, who can tell the difference?" ”
Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "Yang Ge still has the means, come here, serve tea!" “
Yang Tinghe's face suddenly froze, he might have guessed what kind of tea those people who went out with their bodies slumped out: "Your Majesty, the old minister is very old......
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!" “
