Chapter 235: The Great Imperial Meeting (2)
The noon gate finally opened, and the hundred officials sorted out their official robes, patted the snowflakes accumulated on their bodies, and walked towards the main hall one after another in order of rank.
After the civil and military officials on the left and right stood still, a eunuch sang and invited the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to realize that today was not so good, and there was a trace of sadness in his expression, and he swore that if it weren't for the great court meeting, if it weren't for the joint letter of the six cabinet departments, he would not attend this meeting anyway.
On weekdays, he deals with paperwork in the leopard room, and if there is anything important in the cabinet, he also goes to the leopard room to find Zhu Houzhao......
Especially...... What is Chen Yu doing with this kid? Hippie smiley! I don't know if it's a pilgrimage? It's a bit of schadenfreude to look like that!
Zhu Houzhao glared at Chen Yu fiercely, but several high-ranking officials in the cabinet looked back, but Chen Yu looked like he couldn't be serious, and he couldn't be worried!
At the end of the year, some non-governmental business organizations will also summarize the results of the year, as the center of the Ming Dynasty, the same is true for hundreds of officials, first led by the cabinet Li Dongyang University scholar, please Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, to report on the country's harvest in the past year.
Yang Qingqing came out, cleared his throat and said: "It's a year old, the population of the country is 9.14 million, Tian is 4.69 million, and the talent is 2.21 million......"
The tax of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, did not popularize a whip, so in addition to the field of Fu, there are brocade, silk, cloth, tea, gold, silver and the like, Yang Yiqing reported all the income of the five years little by little, and after he finished the report, he compared it with the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's tax, and the overall increase was about five million.
And analyzed the reasons for the rise one by one, but after he finished analyzing, Yang Tinghe spoke, and he said slowly: "Lord Yang, this is a bad statement, what is the ratio of taxes that rose in a whip last year?" ”
Yang Yiqing expected that Yang Tinghe would retort, and said unhurriedly: "Before October, the household department made a statistic, and its growth was all in the last two months, which is the stage of Lord Chen's whip trial, and the comparison of the rise of taxes can be seen that all of them are in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Huguang and other areas, which are also the areas of Lord Chen's reform." ”
"That's not true." Yushi Yang Yiyu opened his mouth and said: "Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other political secretaries are already very taxed, so this comparison has no reference value at all, and Yang Shangshu is a big crime of disrespect!" ”
"It seems that Yang Yushi knows a lot about the affairs of the household department?" Fang Xianfu came out and said: "With your remarks, this official wants to insult his colleagues!" ”
The quarrel between the officials is something that is not very nutritious, but Daming really can't do without these people, and before the two finished speaking, they said in the middle of the matter: "The minister thinks that this move has a lot to do with Li Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao, if it is not for the cabinet to control the operation of the country, how can you say this?" ”
"Where did you place the emperor?" Gu Dingchen jumped out and said.
"You're using strong words!"
Really thought well with Chen Yu, Chen Yu didn't bother to argue about whether it was wrong or right in this matter, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated.
Zhu Houzhao was also tired of listening, whose credit is it, he naturally has a scale in his heart, seeing Chen Yu close his eyes and recuperate, he knew that he didn't care, so he simply said: "Don't argue, the Ming Dynasty has been the foundation of governing the country since Taizu founded the country, and the foundation of governing the country lies in the cabinet, and the matter should be attributed to the cabinet." ”
Zhu Houzhao is a final word, and the imperial historians don't say much, just look at the appearance of the so-called Qingliu faction, and know that they have won.
The next thing is to discuss the matter of February Chunqiu, the president who was originally elected was Li Dongyang, but Li Dongyang pushed it off on the grounds that he was old, and recommended the qualifications of the president to Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe's current status can be regarded as the second assistant of the cabinet, so there are not many voices of opposition in the court, and the vice president naturally gave Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
There was an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty, non-Hanlin did not enter the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Etiquette did not enter the cabinet, Fei Hong is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in other words, as long as Li Dongyang stepped down, Fei Hong would definitely enter the cabinet.
But from beginning to end, which side Fei Hong belongs to, this is really hard to determine, let's count him as a centrist.
He didn't care about the Spring Festival, but he heard that two of his students were going to participate in the Spring Festival this year, one was Zhang Xuan and the other was Shao Duanfeng.
These two students have already passed the anger with Chen Yu in advance, of course, it is not cheating or anything like that, in this era, wanting to cheat in the scientific examination is tantamount to a fool's dream, just want to have a small reunion with Chen Yu after coming to Beijing.
Chen Yu also knew that these two students were afraid that they had little confidence and no experience, and he would never be stingy with these things that could be considered.
As the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Yu naturally has an errand, and as the marking officer of this scientific examination, his task is very heavy.
When the president, vice president, examiner, and marking officer of Chunfu are confirmed, the matter of Chunfu is agreed.
The next step was to formulate the Zhengde six-year unified calendar, and the revision of the unified calendar was naturally handed over to the Hanlin Academy, and it was stipulated that the revision of the unified calendar must be completed before the end of the year, submitted to the cabinet for review, and then issued.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet did not seem to be idle.
Ma Zhongxi has been very close to the Liu family rebel army recently, and from time to time he has entered the rebel army, which seems to have a lot of relationship, so he wrote a lot about the matter, which roughly means that Ma Zhongxi has rebelled.
Chen Yu is now worried that Yang Tinghe will talk about this, thinking of Xia Yan later, he knows very well how terrible these veterans of playing politics are, if these people are allowed to participate in this way, Ma Zhongxi will not live long at all!
Fortunately, Chen Yu and Yang Yiqing are still in the court at the moment, and Chen Yu still has some of the thugs of the officials, he gave him a look, and Gu Dingchen immediately refuted it.
This fat man, don't look honest, he has a lot of ghost ideas in his heart, and the article is also very well written, and every sentence can be quoted from the classics.
He immediately jumped out to refute the matter: "Zhang Zhishi, this is wrong, the so-called soldiers are treacherous, Ma Yushi's move is just to penetrate the enemy's interior and defeat the enemy's will, so that he can surrender without taking advantage of the army, this is not great wisdom!" ”
After Zhang Qi heard about it, he began to refute it, but now Emperor Zhengde's brain was about to explode, and he didn't want to listen to these two grandsons hanging around there, so he waved his hand and said, "The matter of Ma Yushi is being discussed later." ”
The two also had a tacit understanding, and got up and returned to the throne after Emperor Zhengde spoke.
Later, after Li Dongyang saw that the court was stable, he came out and said: "The ministers are dying of old age, their brainpower is declining, and the country's major affairs are beyond their strength, so they dare not delay the society, and pray for the scholars, hoping for Your Majesty's approval." ”
This is already Li Dongyang's prayer for Zhishi many times, but Emperor Zhengde has never agreed, he knows that the Ming Dynasty can't do without Li Dongyang now.
Although Li Dongyang has handed over a lot of power to Yang Tinghe to deal with political affairs, this transition time is still a bit short, it is not that Zhu Houzhao does not trust Yang Tinghe, he just wants to make the empire more stable.
Zhu Houzhao finally rejected Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang also expected that it should be this result, so he retreated to the hands of the civil officials of the left class, and then it was really the same as Li Dongyang said, the prince and the young secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Liu Ji Zhishi, this time Zhu Houzhao did not refuse, Zhu Houzhao said: "The old minister of Qingchun Palace, the old man who learned to do it, is multi-effective and hardworking, and he is appointed by Fang Che and begged for a rest, and the words are sincere, Tezi Yu Yunyi, there are Si Yue to give Mi Si Shi, and there are six servants."
Liu Ji never thought that Zhu Houzhao would agree to this way, every civil official would play this kind of trick, but he couldn't have imagined that Zhu Houzhao would agree like this!
In fact, it's very simple, Zhu Houzhao has already watched six unhappy, at this time, at the court meeting, you actually came back to join in the fun, don't you know that Liu Jian Xie moved back then?
The relationship between Liu Jing and Liu Ji, the secretary of the criminal department, has always been good, and he can't believe it, a secretary of the ministry said that he would be dismissed, and in a fit of anger, he said: "Minister Liu Jing is old!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said: "Qing also wants to be a scholar?" ”
To your sister! The previous example of Liu Ji is still there, Lao Tzu is not stupid, Lao Tzu just has to take a few days off, but now that Zhu Houzhao said this, it is really fucking difficult to ride a tiger, and the civil officials of the whole dynasty are looking at it, do you still want Lao Tzu's old face?
He nodded helplessly!
"Exactly! "This time Zhu Houzhao is even simpler, and the civil and military officials are afraid that they can see that Zhu Houzhao is already impatient."
At this time, those ministers who were still preparing to send a letter to the scholars were all honestly staying in the train at the moment, and the two bosses of the six departments said that they would be dismissed!
At this time, Zhu Houzhao said again: "The six departments can't be without a master for a day, Yang Yiqing has been the imperial history of the capital for many years, and has made a lot of contributions at the border, hard work and resentment, the responsibility of the ministry is heavy, and he has been admitted to a hundred officials, can you be competent?" ”
Yang Yiqing is blinded, although the six departments seem to have the same power, but the rules of the private non-cost officials know that in addition to the Ministry of Rites, I am afraid that only the Ministry of Officials has the greatest power, although it is only a transfer between posts, but this is actually a promotion for him!
"The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
"The minister feels inappropriate." Yang Tinghe couldn't hand over the fat of the Ministry of Officials no matter what, he said: "Lord Yang often lives in the border pass, and I am afraid that I am not familiar with the Ministry of Officials, so why not start with the Ministry of War first?" He Chang, the secretary of the military department, has been an official for many years, and he is jealous and hateful, and it is reasonable to be the secretary of the ministry, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice. ”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "It's decided." Do you still have something to discuss? ”
"Your Majesty think twice!" Yang Tinghe said again.
"Alright, scholar, is my talk useless? You Yu Shi said, do you have any rebuttals? ”
Look at me, look at you, the emperors have spoken, and besides, he is still a second-grade civil official, who dares to make irresponsible remarks at will, and Yang Yiqing does have a hand as an official, and they can't find any evidence of Yang Yiqing's unfavorability.
