Chapter 460: Ancestral System and Flexibility (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
There were more than 40 ministers in the palace, and everyone had a deep impression of Li You, a young man who returned to the Wuying Palace. Although Li You was in the court for no more than half a year last time, he was extremely dazzling in the court battle, like a meteor crossing the court. There is a poem that says: After the matter, the clothes are brushed away, and the merit and fame are brushed.
This time, seeing Lord Li go to the palace again in order to inspect the imperial envoy of the school, Zhu Qing sighed a little but also understood that Xu Ge Lao, Peng Ge Lao, and Jin Ge Lao, who was in the same boat as Yuan Ge Lao, were all people who did not want to see Li You. Under normal election circumstances, they must nominate one of Jiao Shimei and Shen Heling.
However, Jiao Shen and the others suddenly withdrew, and Li You became the only seedling candidate launched by the civil official, which would definitely cause a moment of entanglement for the elders.
Xu, Peng, and Jin have a dislike for Li You, which is the default situation. If they plan to support Li You with their backhand, they must make some gestures of goodwill to prevent others from continuing to misunderstand.
However, Zhao Tianguan had already planned to announce that he was going to start, and these pavilion elders still did not have any words and deeds of goodwill. can only explain one thing, Xu, Peng, and Jin Sange Elder including Yuan Ge Elder who was not present will continue to be hostile to Li You and will not give Li You any recommendation. The subtext expressed is that he would rather compromise with the Queen Mother than negotiate peace with Li You.
Now that this situation is developing, no one will think that Li You can have the last laugh, don't look at Li You seems to have become the only seedling selected by the civil official bell, it seems that he is the only one, in fact, it is not so simple.
But in the cabinet, the opposition to Li You is one side with more people and more power, almost two of the three-way cabinets. Therefore, those who are accustomed to the limelight of the cabinet must also follow the others to nominate the other two candidates to be elected, so as not to openly contradict too many cabinet elders.
Not to mention that the Queen Mother, who is on the throne, is also a person who holds a grudge against Li You. Therefore, after a comprehensive analysis, the situation has developed to the current point, and Li You has almost no possibility of being selected, and this game is only afraid that it will be won by the more well-prepared Empress Dowager Cisheng.
However, Lord Li is worthy of being Lord Li, and he has jumped out to stir up the situation without giving up, which makes everyone feel that it is both expected and reasonable, or has the idea of "it should be like this". Many people suddenly remembered the thrilling pilgrimage of a year or two ago.
In the eyes of everyone, Li You held high the book of "Daming Hui Canon Volume 5" in His Majesty Dan, and the treasure was solemn, as if he was holding a holy relic with his bare hands.
The Ming Dynasty was appointed by the emperor, and the whole book was voluminous, up to more than 200 volumes, and it has undergone several revisions. The main content is the rules and regulations, regulations and procedures for the various affairs of the various yamen of the imperial court, which can be said to be the basic law for the operation of the entire imperial court.
Only a few well-informed and well-informed people can read through the whole book, and ordinary officials may be familiar with the part of their duties, but it still takes a lot of brains to match the number of the volume. More often than not, relying on experience and traditional office, when you need to check, you need to check temporarily.
Even in the 21st century, no one will go to work and memorize all kinds of rules and regulations every day. If you suddenly ask someone what the content of the articles and paragraphs of a certain system is, nine out of ten will be at a loss.
So when I saw Li You take out a copy of "Daming Huidian Volume Five" from his sleeve, most people's hearts flashed a trace of doubt, what content in the fifth volume of the Huidian can support Li You? Including Empress Dowager Qian.
Lord Li naturally didn't let everyone doubt for too long, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said loudly to the Empress Dowager Cisheng: "There is a rule of court push in the fifth volume of the canon!" No matter what kind of court push, the courtiers who participated in it were only the Dajiuqing, and the officials of the three grades or above of the ministries, courts, tongs, and major divisions, or they also had palm prints and branches, and sometimes there were also officials of the ministries and courts above the fifth rank. But throughout the book, there has never been a case where Zaifu and the king can participate in the court push! ”…,
The Great Nine Secretaries of the National Dynasty refer to the six Shangshu, the Imperial History of Zuodu, the General Political Envoy, and the Dali Temple, which are the core bosses of the civil officials of the Foreign Dynasties.
The officials of the three grades above the ministry, the courtyard, the general and the big hall refer to the officials who sit in the hall above the three grades in the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Political Division, and the Dali Temple, in fact, they are mainly the squires of the six ministries and the left deputy envoys. This is the second highest member of the civil officials of the foreign dynasty after the core of the Great Nine Secretaries.
The so-called hall officials are officials who sit in the hall and work in the yamen seriously, not the kind of scholars and servants who are sent abroad and have false titles.
The palm print science road refers to the senior palm print royal history and palm print to the middle of the six branches and thirteen ways.
What Li You means is that according to the Ming Dynasty, this court push should only be attended by the above-mentioned officials at most, and it is a matter for foreign officials. The Queen Mother and the Auxiliary Cabinet scholars should stand aside, just wait for the result in the palace, and don't just meddle in the affairs of the foreign court, otherwise it will violate the laws of the ancestors!
Of course, the cabinet and the queen mother are definitely not powerless, but the division of labor between the internal and external dynasties is different. The results of the foreign court must be played to the empress dowager and the cabinet must be issued to form a formal edict, so that all the procedures can be completed.
But the rest of the procedures are all in the future, Li You feels that he is about to be eliminated, where can he still take care of thinking about it? I can only take one step at a time, and I will first pass through the scene in front of me.
Hearing Li You pierce the window paper, the hall suddenly burst into a buzzing discussion after a sudden realization, and the ministers gossiped about each other, and no one cared about etiquette or not.
What Li You said, others don't know. It's just that in the past ten years, the imperial court has been following the current court push model and is accustomed to it.
Ten years is not a short time, after a long time, everyone gradually forgot the old rules, and now after being reminded by Li You, they all suddenly have some memory, except for the newcomers who have been in the dynasty for less than ten years.
Watching the lively people was amazed, how did Li You think of this? Unexpectedly, the old carving insect went to find chapters and sentences, and moved the relevant articles out of the more than 200 volumes of the canon that was revised decades ago...
Just now he jumped out to accuse Li You of being "bold" Peng Ge Lao was gagged by the Huidian, and he almost lost his temper in anger. If you have to strictly follow the Ming Huidian, then you don't even have the cabinet as a ruling body! Fortunately, he did not lose his mind and said something rebellious such as "the canon is not enough to be accepted".
Indeed, in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet is only a branch of the Hanlin Academy, which is equivalent to the role of the Hanlin Academy in the Imperial Palace Branch, which is the real status of the cabinet in the jurisprudence of the dynasty. The so-called has the name of the prime minister, but there is no reality of the prime minister, and there is the power of the prime minister, but there is no position of the prime minister.
In fact, even if it does not participate in the court push, the cabinet can still exert influence on the outcome, because the final result must be played and formed into an edict before it can take effect. Moreover, even if the Holy Lord approved it, their cabinet could still prevent the formation of a formal edict with almost rogue obedience, which was the prerogative of the Auxiliary Ministers.
It's just that remote control and after-the-fact remediation are not as handy as controlling the situation on the spot, and the court and the court represent the public opinion of the courtiers, and the cabinet denies the results afterwards, which is not very good in terms of reputation. If it is spread out, it is against the hearts of the people, and if it is not good, it will be criticized and criticized.
Master Li, who has become a legal guard, can care about what others think, glanced at Peng Ge Lao who was standing not far away from him, weighed the priorities again, and reluctantly gave up the idea of teasing Peng Ge Lao, and the focus was still on the Queen Mother.
I saw him holding the fifth volume of the canon to His Majesty Dan and continue to take a step forward, his expression became more and more solemn, and he said quite righteously and solemnly: "This is the law of the former emperor, and I have not heard that there is a revision in this dynasty." Therefore, regarding this court push, please follow the system of the ancestors! Those who govern the country must put the law first! ”…,
Unlike in the boiling hall, behind the bead curtain, there is silence.
Empress Dowager Qian was slightly stunned, she was already in control of everything, and she was developing step by step according to her plan. But I never thought that Li You suddenly moved out of the Huidian to suppress the court push, why are his tricks always endless!
The last revision of the Tianming Guild Code was approved by the emperor, which is equivalent to the often said "ancestral law". If it is not suitable in actual operation, it can be adapted, and it can only be done but not said, let alone openly deny the ancestral King James Code.
Now, when someone asks with a canon, how can they answer the question?
When it is changed, the Empress Dowager Qian doesn't have to worry so much, it doesn't matter if she doesn't take an example or make corrections from the advice. But this time it's critical, and I really can't go back.
Speaking of the deliberations and court push system of the Jing and Dynasty dynasties, it is also a very vague matter in legal theory, formed by habits. Originally, the distinction between the monarch and the minister's face-to-face discussion, the court discussion, and the court discussion was clear, and the court push was a kind of court discussion in the final analysis.
To put it simply, the court discussion and court push mode is that after the outer court makes a public decision, it is sent to the inner court for approval. In this concept, the ministries, courts, temples, and great empires are the outer courts, and the Son of Heaven and the auxiliary cabinet are the inner courts. In reality, however, when the cabinet is powerful, it is often able to control the deliberations of the foreign court.
Since the first emperor returned to heaven and the Empress Dowager Cisheng ruled the country, one was to come forward to calm the hearts of the people, the second was to emphasize the legitimacy of the government, and the third was to show diligence, so she did not dare to govern the country according to the traditional model of separation between monarchs and ministers.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cisheng developed the habit of looking at the court in the Wuying Hall and symbolically handwriting red, but her personality does not like to express her position easily, and she only waits for the ministers to make a final decision after the discussion is over.
As a result, in the past ten years, it has gradually evolved into a system in which the court council and the court are mixed, and the inner court leads the foreign court officials to discuss the affairs before the emperor, and most of the national policies are formulated in this way, which has become the norm in the Jinghe dynasty.
In fact, it is not surprising that in the country and the dynasty, it is customary to make things happen because of people, and this kind of adaptation that is conducive to the government abounds. Another example is the position of the cabinet scholar, from the legal point of view, the dynasty does not have a prime minister, the cabinet scholar is the secretary of the Son of Heaven, does not participate in the affairs of the foreign court, belongs to the branch of the Hanlin Academy, and is located after the Shangshu.
But in fact, the cabinet scholars have evolved into the role of semi-prime ministers who uphold confidentiality, and in reality, they are often regarded as prime ministers at home and abroad.
However, he said that Li You threw out the hidden weapon of the Huidian, and replied after not seeing the bead curtain for a long time, and gradually felt that if there was no new movement, he would be weak in the follow-up.
Now he just caught the other party off guard, as long as Empress Dowager Qian came back to her senses, she avoided answering his questions and didn't talk about how the ceremony was. only forcibly ordered the court to push as usual, and others hindered the queen mother's power, how could he stop it? In this dynasty, the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, and it is difficult for the rule of law to surpass the rule of man.
The words "Ancestral Law" are borrowed from him even by himself. and not "testimonies." I feel a little worried in my heart, and I don't know how long the "ancestor" will be able to stand up. PS: There is one more update today! Ask for a monthly pass to give birth!. )
