Chapter 443: Who Strikes the Drum?
When Lu Chengqi was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sudden drum beat, and he didn't know what to say if he wanted to continue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Go, show me who's beating the drum!"
It almost roared out, and the little eunuch Gao Hao, who was frightened, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, the little one is going!" β
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ho trotted down the steps. In a panic, he stepped on the wrong foot, tripped his left foot and his right foot, and with an "oops" sound, the whole person rolled down. It was only after rolling to the bottom of the stairs that Gao Ho stood up despite the pain and held on to the crooked crown above his head. The civil and military officials did not get Lu Chengqi's will, and they all lay on the ground and did not dare to move, but they still had eyes to watch, only Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was still standing there. When the officials saw Gao Hao's clumsy movements, they wanted to laugh but couldn't, and they held back very hard.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengqi was full of anger, and was actually doused by Gao Hao's clown-like performance. After trying to adjust his mentality, he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry about this matter, and said impatiently: "Get up, catch ants on your stomach or be a turtle?" β
Seeing that Lu Chengqi had extinguished his anger, the civil and military officials were still a little confused, and they all thanked the Holy Grace and got up. was satirized by the little emperor as a turtle, these civil and military officials don't think there is anything, the turtle is a symbol of longevity at this time. People scold you for your longevity, will you be angry?
And the smart officials have already seen some clues: "It seems that the one who is most familiar with the temperament of the little emperor is still Gao Gonggong!" "I have to be convinced, Gao Hao only used one move, and he could make the little emperor dissipate most of his anger. If Zhou Yanhua continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid that even the identity of the national ruler will not be able to keep him. The civil and military officials present, even the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Chongguang, did not have Zhou Yanhua's confidence, let alone others. When you don't have the ability to protect yourself, you still want to be in the limelight, isn't this a fool's dream!
No one in the Daqing Hall dared to speak out, even Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also silent. If it were a little emperor on weekdays, he would still adopt the advice, why is it so abnormal today? It seems that the little emperor really cares about this ten-grade official system, and no one can deliberately destroy it. The smart people who have already figured out the taste gradually have the mind to retreat. Their official positions are neither high nor low, if they ruin their future for this matter, wouldn't they have picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons? Anyone can settle this account, and not every official has the noble feelings of "sacrificing himself for others".
In the final analysis, the ten-grade official system does not have much conflict with those of them who have already obtained official positions. They resisted the ten-rank official system, mostly because the ten-rank officials were equivalent to lowly officials, which made the faces of the scholars unsightly. And a small number of people are because of the ten-grade official system to cut off the door shade and the way to accept the chestnut, or because the family, or because the gray income in the shade of the chestnut door is gone, they just resist the new policy. The one who sincerely refuted the new policy was precisely Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department who did not flinch in the face of the anger of the little emperor.
The minds of civil officials are lively, and they all know that Zhou Yanhua is also a national ruler no matter how he is. As long as Queen Zhou Zhiruo is still the mother of the main palace, his respect will not change, and the favor of the Zhou family will not change. But since the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, few relatives can be high-ranking officials above the third grade, and Zhou Yanhua's move is to advance and retreat, protect himself wisely, and resolve the suspicion of the little emperor!
The civil officials figured it out, while the military attachΓ©s looked at everything that happened in the Daqing Hall in a daze. It's not that they can't do it, but they don't threaten their own interests. The implementation of the new policy is neither good nor bad for the military generals, and they are happy to see the civilian clique and the little emperor tear each other apart. The generals were simple-minded, and they didn't expect that once the respected status of civil officials was suppressed, their status would be relatively improved. It can be said that they are confused, and they get the most benefits.
The Dengwen Drum Courtyard outside the Xuande Gate is not far from the Daqing Palace, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Gao Ho trotted back all the way panting, almost climbing up the steps, Lu Chengqi said angrily: "What are you panicking, the sky is falling?" β
Gao Hao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a group of lifters beating the drums outside......"
Lu Chengqi is not a stupid person, why did these moves come, how could he not understand? It was only at this juncture that they appeared, what a coincidence! Did they do it spontaneously, or was someone behind it? With this in mind, he silently looked at Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department, and then said lightly: "How many people are there?" β
Gao Hao hurriedly said: "There are more than a hundred, look at their papers, they are all the sons of Pingshan Academy......"
"Pingshan Academy, what a familiar name?" Lu Chengqi felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Gao Hao reminded: "Your Majesty, Su Shi, the champion of Enke last time, was born in Pingshan Academy......"
Lu Chengqi remembered, and his anger gradually disappeared: "If you can be a champion, this academy is also a little famous?" β
Gao Hao didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Compared to Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Songyang Academy, Bailudong Academy, Yinggu Academy, Shaolin Academy, Nancheng Academy, and Cungu Academy, Pingshan Academy in Chang'an City is not even comparable to His Majesty's Royal University. It's just a Su Zizhan, and it's just a coincidence. β
Where did Lu Chengqi not know that Pingshan Academy had hit a big luck? If Su Shi hadn't had a place to stay in Chang'an City, he wouldn't have gone to Pingshan Academy to register his name. Such a half-way monk brings more than just a reputation benefit to Pingshan Academy? After the champion, the number of people who went to study was more than four or five times higher than before.
"Alright, bring the paper!" Lu Chengqi said lightly.
Gao Hao hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was full of red finger molds, Lu Chengqi was not surprised, this is quite the same thing as the Book of the People. I had already been mentally prepared and quickly swept the paper, and sure enough, these students came for the ten-grade official system.
Throwing the paper aside, he snorted coldly: "Let them send a representative to the temple!" β
Gao Ho said loudly: "Obey! β
At this time, the civil officials in the Daqing Hall began to discuss, speculating who was beating the drums outside. After Gao Hao left, Lu Chengqi pondered how to strike first after a while. These actions are really annoying, it's not good to stay in the academy to read books, and come to mix in some political affairs! But as soon as the drums were beaten, Lu Chengqi couldn't help but ask, his cheap father Emperor Yuanshou had made a decree: "Chinese and foreign ministers and scholars and Xu Shifeng bluntly said that they would be invested in the Dengwen Procuratorate and the Tongjin Division, and I should personally see and use it." β
This will can be said to be known to the entire Dashun, and the cases that cannot be broken by the yamen in various places, including the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, can beat the drum and implore the emperor to decide the case. This is also the only way for Dashun to petition, Lu Chengqi doesn't want to break it, even if he is impatient, he can only pinch his nose and admit it. (To be continued.) )
