Chapter 641: Give sweet dates first
Sun Shangshu's practice was a common practice when high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were impeached.
hung up the crown and left, returned to the house to think about it, and proved his innocence.
This is different from the previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty has always attached importance to Qingwang, especially the higher the status, the more important they are to their name.
Above officialdom, you can do without anything, but you can't have no reputation!
Therefore, when their reputation is questioned, most officials will choose to retreat and go away with their crowns to show that they do not love power.
And of course, this return is not a real return, and the emperor must be comforted.
Especially an important minister like Sun Piyang, he must not think about it behind closed doors as soon as he said that he wanted to go back to the house, and the emperor immediately happily agreed.
What's going on?
Not to mention that this matter has not been investigated clearly, but the investigation has been clear, and being able to do this step of the official department is all one step at a time in the officialdom, tempered for more than ten years.
In other words, people have worked hard for your old Zhu family for more than ten years, and you sent people away with a word, which inevitably chilled the hearts of the ministers.
"Sun Aiqing, please get up, Aiqing works hard for the country, has an outstanding reputation, and the emperor was also quite praised when he was alive, there is no need to be so despised by himself, the officials still need Aiqing to operate, Eunuch Chen, go and put the Liang crown on Sun Shangshu!"
Zhu Changluo smiled bitterly and said warmly.
Chen Ju arched his hand, walked down from His Majesty, picked up the beam crown from the ground, put it on Sun Piyang's head again, and helped the latter up.
"Old minister, thank the emperor for his grace!"
To tell the truth, Sun Dashangshu actually didn't want to get up, he hoped that the emperor could push the boat down the river and let him think about the past behind closed doors, so that maybe he could avoid a storm.
In fact, if the emperor hadn't asked Chen Ju to come down and put on the crown for him again, he would never have gotten up so easily.
But the emperor is obviously not an easy person, and he asked Chen Ju to come forward in person, obviously not giving himself a chance to refuse.
After all, Chen Ju's identity is there, and the dignified celebrant is the eunuch who holds the seal, and he is like the head of the cabinet compared to the foreign dynasties, not to mention that Chen Ju is one of the few eunuchs with a good reputation among the ministers.
If Chen Ju ends up in person, if he doesn't buy this face, he will be a little ignorant......
However, although he got up, the sadness on Sun Piyang's face continued unabated, because the emperor's attitude made him sure that today's things would be difficult to get better......
"Sun Aiqing has been in charge of the Ministry for many years, and I am naturally trustworthy! However, in the year of the big plan, there will inevitably be villains, the rule of officials is the important task of the country, and it cannot be ignored, since Yang Aiqing impeached Jiang Shixin for favoritism and fraud, it should be investigated, and it is good to return to the court a clear understanding, where are the ten thousand vice envoys? ”
Sure enough, Zhu Changluo comforted him twice, but he changed his words and led the conversation to Jiang Shixin.
Sun Piyang, as the secretary of the ministry, has no detailed evidence, Zhu Changluo is not good at accusing him, but Jiang Shixin is different, although the authority of Wenxuan Shilang is heavy, but in the end he is only a five-grade official, he belongs to the middle-level officials in the court, and he is not a heavy minister, so naturally he can't talk about what makes the courtiers cold, Zhu Changluo can investigate him openly.
"The old minister is here!"
An old man with a dignified face came out of the line and worshipped.
"Wanshide listens to the order!"
Zhu Changluo's face was solemn and he spoke.
"The left deputy capital of the Supervision Yuan Wan Shide, holding the body fairly, known as the backbone, the post of the left capital of the Supervision Yuan has been vacant for a long time, Wan Shide is not easy to manage the Supervision Yuan with the deputy capital of the imperial envoy, from now on, move to the left capital of the imperial history, together with the Dali Temple to investigate the impeachment of Jiang Shixin, the deadline is three days, after the case is ascertained, the book is played!"
A big pie fell from the sky, smashing Wanshide with meat and vegetables, and he was a little dizzy.
You know, this is the imperial history of the left capital!
A sub-word, there is a big difference between there and no, Zuodu Yushi is a major minister of the court who can go hand in hand with the six Shangshu, whether it is authority or status, it is not comparable to a deputy imperial envoy.
Don't you see the last left capital imperial history, after entering the cabinet, you will directly advance to the second assistant? It's not just that anyone can go directly to the second place.
Theoretically speaking, only important ministers such as the Ministry of Officials and Household Books have such a possibility, and there is still a small chance, which is enough to see the status of the Imperial History of Zuodu in the court.
But at the same time, Wan Shide also came to his senses and understood that what was in front of him was not just a piece of pie, but also a hot potato.
At this time, the emperor put him on the throne of the left capital of the imperial history, and his intention was self-evident.
Just to let him try Jiang Shixin's case!
And who is Jiang Shixin? That is the confidant of the Ministry of Shangshu, if Wan Shide disposes of him, he will definitely offend Sun Piyang, and maybe this matter will be investigated to the end, and even Sun Piyang himself will be inseparable.
Otherwise, why did he defend Jiang Shixin so much!
In other words, if he accepts this will, it will be equivalent to becoming an emperor and standing on the opposite side of Sun Piyang.
The hesitation was only for a moment, and Wan Shide made a decision in his heart.
"Command! The minister must investigate this case impartially and live up to His Majesty's trust! ”
Officials who can go above the third grade are all decisive people, and Wan Shide is naturally the same.
Compared with standing on the opposite side with Sun Piyang, Wan Shide pays more attention to his immediate interests, after all, in this officialdom, it is common to erect political enemies.
Even though the official department was one of the most powerful officials in the foreign court, Wan Shide was not necessarily afraid of him.
What's more, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the court is facing a new round of reshuffle, and at this time anyone can be offended, but the emperor must not be offended.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be better in the future!
So in just a moment, Wan Shide firmly stood on the emperor's side and ruthlessly abandoned Sun Dashangshu.
Zhu Changluo nodded with satisfaction, but there was no surprise.
It stands to reason that such a surprise attack by him violated the imperial court system, which had very strict procedural requirements for the appointment, dismissal, and transfer of high-ranking officials, and it was not a matter of the emperor's word.
According to the canonical system, an official position like the Imperial History of Zuodu must go through a wrestling in the court, and finally the officials will be screened out by the Ministry of Officials to be sent to the list, and the emperor will only take effect after Zhu approves it.
It is not reasonable in terms of procedure to be hand-picked by the emperor like this, and if it encounters a few six subjects who admit death, it may be rejected on the spot.
But now it's different, it's still the same sentence, the new emperor ascends the throne, there are always some privileges.
One of the biggest privileges is the first edict of the new emperor, and basically no one in the court will come forward to choke, and another privilege is that the emperor can promote and transfer some officials, as long as they are not too out of line and meet the requirements of the circulation of officials in the court, the courtiers generally turn a blind eye.
Of course, this privilege is quite restrictive.
Generally speaking, there are two restrictions, one is that the adjustment of officials must be promotional, not dethroned or degraded, nor can they be promoted or demoted.
Because the reason for the emperor's adjustment of officials is that the new emperor ascends the throne, the whole world congratulates!
It's a happy event!
Since it is a happy event, it can only be rewarded and not punished, and the whole world celebrates......
The second is that it must meet the requirements for the circulation of officials in the court.
What is called meeting the requirements of the circulation of officials, simply put, can not go through the selection process of the ministry, but it must comply with the selection rules of the ministry.
For example, you can't directly promote a seventh- or eighth-grade official to a third- or fourth-grade high-ranking official.
For example, you can't promote an official who has just been promoted.
For example, you can't let an official without merit be promoted for no reason.
Since it is a promotion, the courtier can acquiesce to the slightest violation of the procedure, but the basic principle must be observed.
And Wan Shide is very lucky, he meets all these two conditions!
After Zhenji entered the cabinet, perhaps because there was no suitable candidate, the position of Zuodu Yushi has been vacant, and Wan Shide is in charge of supervising the affairs of the Yuan, and it has been two years now.
In the past two years, although Wan Shide has not made many meritorious achievements, it can be regarded as a high level of hard work.
It is also natural to give a reward, but Zhu Changluo was generous this time, and directly gave him the position of Zuodu Yushi, an important minister in the court.
In general, though, there were slight problems with the procedure for this promotion, but there was no room for pickiness in other areas, and it was still within the acceptable range of the courtiers.
As for what Wan Shide will do after becoming the imperial history of the left capital, it is a secret thing, and it can't be put on the table......
"Okay, that's it for the time being, do you still have a song?"
Seeing that Wan Shide was taken into the bag, Zhu Changluo was satisfied and continued to speak.
Today's big court meeting is just going through the motions, and it won't really deal with any government affairs, and there are enough things happening at today's big court meeting.
Hearing the emperor's words, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's posture was obviously planning to retreat from the court, and they could also go back and think about it, how many twists and turns were hidden in these things that happened at today's court meeting.
However, things are always not so natural, Zhu Changluo is satisfied, but some people are unwilling to retreat.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"
