Chapter 263: The Court Staff

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the early dynasty.

Qianqing Palace, cabinet ministers, six books, the imperial history of the left and right of the Imperial Inspectorate, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, the six departments are in the Qianqing Palace, and many supervising imperial histories and Hanlin Shu Jishi are standing outside the Qianqing Palace.

Wen Tiren's face was very bad, his words about the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already spread out, and it was in an uproar, according to the fact that after the vote was planned, who was responsible for exterminating the Liukou should be over, but I don't know what the reason was, the topic of discussion in the cabinet spread out quickly, so that it caused an unusually big controversy.

Tang Shiji, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, was nominated by Wen Tiren, and it is said that he should be of the same mind as Wen Tiren, but I don't know what the reason is, Tang Shiji's attitude suddenly changed, and this change became particularly obvious after the first month, and the interests of Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai and others were safeguarded everywhere, so that Wen Tiren faintly felt the pull and use of the Donglin Party.

Wen Tiren dared to directly criticize the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy in the cabinet, in fact, because Tang Shiji and Shen Zhongren, a scholar of Hallym University, were his own people, but unfortunately the problem was on his own people.

The emperor also had no expression, listening to the construction of Tang Shiji, the right capital of the Imperial Palace.

In fact, it is very simple to oppose Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Shaanxi, the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, to serve as the governor of the five provinces of the left Shilang of the Ministry of War, and to mention that Hong Chengchou will continue to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and Lu Xiangsheng will be promoted to the left Shilang of the Ministry of War, and concurrently serve as the governor of Huguang to assist Hong Chengchou in exterminating the Liukou, the two can divide labor and cooperate, Hong Chengchou will lead the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan to exterminate the Liukou, and Lu Xiangsheng will be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou in Huguang and Sichuan.

As for the reason, one is that it will take time to eradicate the rogues, even if it has been several months. Some problems have occurred, but it is not possible to dismiss the generals on the spot because of an accidental situation, which is useless, and the second is that Hong Chengchou is a rare talent with both civil and military skills. For many years, he has been responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and after the Datong Resistance, the Jin Tatars have also achieved good results, and the eradication of the Liukou is a major event in the DPRK and China, and it is necessary to let a safe person be responsible, and the implication is that Zheng Xunrui is too young. Victory was a mere accident.

Tang Shiji finally said that even if the person in charge of the extermination of the Liukou was replaced, he should respect the establishment of Lord Hong Chengchou and let Lu Xiangsheng become the governor of the five provinces, after all, Hong Chengchou was familiar with the situation in the five northern provinces.

After Tang Shiji finished speaking. I implore that Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, the superintendent of the imperial history, as well as Yang Yi, Gong Dingyu, and Wu Changshi, who were the servants of the Hanlin Academy, enter the Qianqing Palace and explain the reasons for their insistence that Hong Chengchou continue to be responsible for exterminating the Liukou.

The emperor did not object, and the five entered the Qianqing Palace.

Wen Tiren's face was a little pale, he was not worried about Zhang Pu and the others, he felt that what was wrong was Tang Shiji's attitude, and during the narrative process, Tang Shiji never looked at him. This made Wen Tiren have the idea of betrayal, and this kind of betrayal of his own people was the biggest blow to him. This is obviously a joke for outsiders to see.

Wen Tiren faintly felt that the strength of the Donglin Party was far from what he had estimated, and he was afraid that he had made a mistake.

Zhang Pu began to talk eloquently on behalf of the five people, and the reasons discussed were similar to those said by Tang Shiji. It's just that it's a lot more detailed, when explaining the reasons. It also cites scriptures and even takes out Confucian doctrines to demonstrate.

“…… The minister impeached the head of the cabinet, Lord Wen. The Cabinet Vice-Minister, the Cabinet Minister, the Cabinet Minister, the ......Cabinet Minister, the T

As soon as Zhang Pu said this, the Qianqing Palace quickly became quiet.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally adhering to the emperor's will and supervising the ministers, and it should be upright, and Lord Wen, as the head of the cabinet, forcibly suppressed the right to speak in the imperial history, which is a great rebellion, and this is a practice to deceive the emperor, and its sinister intentions are clearly ......exposed."

"As the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Master Wen cannot uphold justice, blindly comply, and lose the integrity of a scholar......"

"As the secretary of the military department, Lord Zhang acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily to suppress the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is a despicable act......"

Zhang Pu's words were sharp, beyond anyone's imagination, even Tang Shiji's face was a little pale, he probably didn't expect that Zhang Pu came to the Qianqing Palace and actually had such words.

Only Qian Shisheng, an assistant minister of the cabinet, had a comfortable face.

Wen Tiren's face changed slightly, he couldn't imagine that a seven-rank superintendent of the imperial history would actually impeach him, the head of the cabinet, in the Qianqing Palace, Wen Zhenmeng's face had no expression, Zhang Fengyi's face was slightly pale, staring at Zhang Pu, his eyes were very sharp.

After Zhang Pu finished speaking, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Gong Dingyu, Wu Changshi and others all followed along, impeaching Wen Tiren, Wen Zhenmeng, and Zhang Fengyi.

There was still no expression on the emperor's face, and Wang Chengen, who was standing behind the emperor, had no expression on his face.

After Zhang Pu and the others finished speaking, the surroundings quieted down.

The emperor finally spoke.

"Wen Aiqing, Wen Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, what are your opinions?"

The emperor did not directly call the names of Zhang Pu and others, which gave Wen Tiren confidence in his heart, he knew that the emperor did not believe in the impeachment of Zhang Pu and others, and it was impossible for the emperor to believe such nonsense, there were so many cabinet assistants, but he ordered a few people who were unfavorable to the Donglin Party to impeach, and the rest were fine, even if they were fools, they understood the truth.

Zhang Pu and others thought that if they came out on behalf of the Donglin Party, they would be able to cause a huge sensation and win greater power for the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party has gone too far this time.

Wen Tiren will not miss such an opportunity.

"The ministers who supervised the impeachment of the Imperial Shi Hanlin Shu Jishi, the ministers all heard it, and the ministers did not understand three things, one of them, this cabinet is composed of several people, and it is only the ministers and the ministers who have been impeached, and the ministers are strange, is it possible that the rest of the cabinet adults are all upholding justice, and they have not expressed their approval of the establishment of the cabinet."

"Second, when the minister was discussing matters in the cabinet, he put forward opinions to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Yuan, which was originally a matter for the cabinet to discuss, and according to the system, it was absolutely confidential, and I don't know how several superintendents of the imperial history and the Hanlin Shuji learned about it, and where did this news come from, if it was a cabinet meeting, all the news was spread out, and there was no secrecy at all, wouldn't it mean that the major military aircraft could also leak out and be used by people with ulterior motives to build momentum."

"Third, the minister remembers that the emperor hates the most is the party struggle, and the end of the party struggle is that the party is the same and different, and there is no room for a trace of dissenting opinions, only I am respectful, and I will talk about this supervision of the imperial history, with special duties, shouldering the duties of supervising officials, it should be impartial, and the minister remembers that the Imperial Procuratorate has this requirement, that is, between the supervision of the imperial history, not because of a certain matter, you must express your own opinions, even if you agree with a certain impeachment opinion, you must also put forward your own opinions, as for the Hanlin Shu Jishi, you need to strengthen your study, Before you are not familiar with government affairs, try not to express your opinions. ”

"The two supervising imperial history, the three Hanlin Shu Jishi, the opinions are surprisingly unified, the word of the people, this is really rare, of course, there is also the construction of the Tang Dynasty, and the opinions of the rest are also the same, is it possible that you are specially discussed below, after forming a unified opinion, specially issued by the court, such a practice, the minister does not dare to agree."

Wen Tiren is an old man, and a few words put Zhang Pu and others in danger, and the party struggle is fatal.

Sure enough, the emperor's expression changed a little.

Tang Shiji opened his mouth, but finally did not speak, he did not dare to speak at this time.

The expressions on the faces of Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and Yang Yi did not change, but the faces of Gong Dingyu and Wu Changshi turned pale.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, Zhang Pu didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and opened his mouth again.

"Lord Wen is talking nonsense......"

"Shut up, as a minister of the court, don't you know the least etiquette?"

Qian Shisheng, who found that the situation was wrong, finally spoke, he knew that he didn't open his mouth at this time, and he might follow in, and in his heart, he also secretly complained that Zhang Pu and others were too unreasonable, what kind of place is this.

Sure enough, the emperor slowly spoke.

"Qian Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Qian Shisheng's face turned slightly pale, he understood that the emperor was already very dissatisfied, and he was afraid that he had thought of a lot of other things.

"The minister thinks that Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Gong Dingyu, Wu Changshi and others don't understand etiquette, and they are noisy in court, and they should be given a court rod according to the law."

After Qian Shisheng said it, a smile flashed on the faces of Zhang Pu and the others.

Qian Shisheng proposed such a proposal, undoubtedly helping Zhang Pu and others, presumably after suffering from the court staff, the influence of Zhang Pu and others will increase greatly.

Wen Zhenmeng, who had rarely spoken, spoke.

"Lord Qian's words are wrong, the civil and military ministers who don't understand etiquette and hustle and bustle in the public court should be reprimanded, so that they think about it behind closed doors, and they don't even know the basic way of being a minister, what qualifications do they have to accept the court staff."

After Wen Zhenmeng finished speaking, Wen Tiren also spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Wen said is reasonable, if you investigate the mistakes of the teachings of Lord Shi Tang and Lord Shen, a scholar of Hanlin University, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can ignore it."

When Zhang Pu and the others thought about speaking again, the emperor waved his hand, and Jinyiwei quickly entered the Qianqing Palace and put the five people out.

But the look on the emperor's face was not very good, probably Wen Tiren and Wen Zhenmeng were surprisingly unanimous, which made the emperor not very satisfied, of course, this is just speculation, but at least the emperor did not punish Zhang Pu and others, nor did he punish Tang Shiji and Shen Zhongren.

Zheng Xunrui, as the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital of the Ministry of War, concurrently served as the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of the five provinces, and was responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and Hong Chengchou was the governor of Datong as the secretary of the military department, responsible for the defense of the border towns.

There is probably no winner in this debate. (To be continued)
