Chapter 106 The Book of the Criminal Department

After Liu Xuliao's trouble, the atmosphere of this poetry meeting was a little worse than in previous years, but it did not hinder the normal progress. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the poetry meeting was about to end, Xie Bingyu, a good teammate, sang Zhu Zhenguo again, and intentionally or unintentionally took out the palindromic poem and read it again. Zhu Zhenguo was called up again and made a poem, and the wine was also toasted a few times.

At the end of the show, according to the seating order, Xu Song went first, and then went downstairs in turn, but Zhu Zhenguo and Liu Xuliao went downstairs at the end.

"Xie Yuangong, am I out of luck today?" Liu Xuliao felt that he had won today.

"You talent, don't say I know you in the future, how can you compose poetry like this." Zhu Zhenguo was tossed by this demon king of the mixed world, and he was also angry in his heart.

"Xie Yuangong, are you jealous that my poems are more imposing than yours?" Liu Xuliao couldn't hear Zhu Zhenguo's heart, and he still felt that Xie Yuangong was stingy.

"There is momentum, there is momentum, in the future, you will write down this poem and hang it at home for people to admire." Zhu Zhenguo was also speechless.

"Okay, it's a good way, where do you live Xie Yuangong? Tomorrow I will seek you. Liu Xuliao really listened to this bad idea.

"What are you looking for me?" Zhu Zhenguo wanted to laugh in his heart, and he also felt that although Liu Xuliao's personality was mixed, he was also cute.

"Teach you martial arts, I said it well before my head, how can the young master be the one who doesn't talk well, the man makes a promise, and he makes a promise." Liu Xuliao said with great vigor, and felt that he was the heroic gentleman of the ages.

"Hey, hey... You also know that I have made a promise, but I haven't read poetry books for a few years in vain, and the Dajiang Hall is my residence not far in front. Zhu Zhenguo didn't really dislike this Liu Xuliao, but he felt that this person was quite wonderful.

"Okay, tomorrow I will come to you and teach you peerless martial arts." Liu Xuliao already regarded this as a matter in his heart. However, Zhu Zhenguo didn't take it seriously, and he didn't want to learn Liu Xuliao's martial arts.

"See you later!" Zhu Zhenguo doesn't live far away, and he can get home in a moment, so he will say goodbye to this Liu Xuliao first.

"Then I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." After saying this, Liu Xuliao also turned around angrily and left.

In the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City, the emperor was generally not here in the early dynasties, and most of them were in the Qianqing Palace. This morning, it was in the Taihe Palace, and it was obvious that there was something important to discuss.

Under the throne stood a crowd of ministers, bowed down and prostrated and said long live.

Emperor Chengping sat on the dragon chair, the momentum was restrained, after two days, today's court meeting Emperor Chengping was arranged. Wave your hands flat.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." The eunuch's voice was extremely sharp.

"Start the emperor, the ministers will play." It was Master Zeng of the Criminal Department who spoke, this Lord Zeng is already in his prime, and he has been in the position of the Secretary of the Criminal Department for more than ten years.

"Speak!" The emperor did

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been scarce, in recent years, the body is not Tai, it has been difficult to be qualified for important positions, today I invite the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will allow the ministers to return to their hometowns and recuperate in their old age." This criminal department Shangshu Zeng thought that Emperor Chengping arranged today's court meeting.

The officials in the audience were not surprised to hear this Zeng Lord's speech today, after all, he was seventy years old, which was normal.

"Zeng Aiqing has dedicated her life to the country and is a model for her courtiers. But what should happen if the position of the secretary of the criminal department is vacant? Today, we will also push it together. "If there is an important person in ordinary times, he must be commended first, and then discuss a reward to let him return to his hometown. Today, Emperor Chengping did not do this, and directly talked about the vacancy.

The selection of important positions in the imperial court is generally recommended by the court, that is, recommended by the officials first, then discussed, and finally decided by the emperor.

Standing at the head of the ranks of left-handed officials is the chief scholar of the cabinet of the current dynasty, that is, the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, Zhu Tingchang. Zhu Tingchang smelled a different smell at this time, and felt that today's events were a little strange.

Why is this Lord Zeng just about to pay tribute, the emperor immediately asked the court to push, which makes Lord Zeng face where to put it, doesn't this mean that the emperor has long wanted this Lord Zeng to get out. There has never been anything like this before. Zhu Tingchang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Zhu Aiqing will talk about personal selection first." Emperor Chengping then spoke again.

Although Zhu Tingchang was puzzled, he knew that the position of Shangshu was extremely important, and he would definitely fight for it, and he also knew that as long as he opened his mouth to recommend people, no one in the court would fight with him. opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the left servant of the Ministry of Ministers has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he has done his best for the court, and the ministers think that they can take on important responsibilities." ”

There are six departments of the Dahua Imperial Court, officials, households, rituals, criminals, soldiers, and workers. The highest official is called Shangshu, the deputy is the left and right servants, the chief officials of the departments under his jurisdiction are called Langzhong, and the deputy is the outer lang. This official is the deputy minister of the modern era.

As soon as Shoufu Zhu Ting's voice fell, one person immediately came out to oppose it, it was Xu Song, the emperor's secretary, Xu Song, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Song was obviously also arranged, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister, but it is very suitable." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Xu Aiqing, please speak. "Emperor Chengping is also a first-class actor.

"Back to the emperor, this person is Ouyang Zheng, the former cabinet bachelor, Ouyang Zheng is fair and honest, quite virtuous, and even more upright, the criminal department has always been a canonical punishment, and it is necessary for Ouyang Zheng to be a fair, honest and upright person in charge, in order to seek benefits for the people of the world." Xu Song's words were already thought about, but he didn't say Ouyang Zheng, a scholar of Dajiang, but only Ouyang Zheng, a former cabinet scholar. I also know that this Dajiang Xuezheng is a few grades behind the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Zhu Tingchang was surprised in his heart, this scholar Xu Song of the Hanlin Academy has always only done things and did not speak, but today he opened his mouth to recommend people, and it was Ouyang Zheng who recommended him. How this Ouyang was degraded, Zhu Tingchang is very familiar with it, and he also knows that he has his own credit in it.

I also know in my heart that although this Xu Song is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he has no real power, and he does not belong to important positions in the high-level.

Whom are they supporting? Zhu Tingchang didn't dare to think about this question, but after thinking about it more, his heart tightened, and he no longer argued, just waiting for the emperor's ruling.

Zhu Tingchang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he had not done anything bad to the emperor in the past ten years, he had been conscientious, and the errands he did for the emperor were perfect, at least on the surface.

It's that this Zhu Tingchang thinks too deeply, and Emperor Chengping doesn't think there's anything wrong with this Zhu Tingchang, and he wants to change this auxiliary minister, but he just thinks that he wants to give this court more voice, and let him, the emperor, have a decision-making process in everything. Instead of saying it in one word, it goes with the word.

Of course, there is another thing, that is, the rule of officials, otherwise Ouyang Zheng would not be arranged to be in charge of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department is different from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is admonishment, but it does not have much ability to investigate and collect evidence and arrest people. The Criminal Department is different.

Of course, this Emperor Chengping only thought of the place for the rulers, and he didn't think of the court.

Emperor Chengping saw that no one jumped out after Xu Song spoke, and he felt a lot more relieved, but things went more smoothly than he imagined. It's just that Emperor Chengping didn't know, everyone present, when he saw Xu Song come out to speak, he didn't know who it meant, how could he still come out and say more.

"In this case, let this Ouyang Zheng come to take charge of the Criminal Department, and Xu Aiqing intends to summon Ouyang Zheng into the court." Emperor Chengping needed this moment of final ruling, so as to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, so as to show the authority of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Song was happy in his heart, although he was not this person who fought for power and profit, otherwise he would not have been able to be a scholar in this Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he would already be fighting for the title of a cabinet bachelor. But this Ouyang Zheng is an old friend after all, and this time he has been reactivated, where will he be unhappy in his heart. (I recommend that some of the tickets are given to a few, thank you!) ）
