Chapter 237: Trivia of the Imperial Meeting

On 25 October, Li You was suspended for three days. Last night, he learned from Guide Chitose that Qian Huangshang had successfully interceded, so he didn't go out today, and waited at home. lest I miss the envoy in the palace and delay my reinstatement.

In the past few months, it has been basically said that there is no shortage of people who invite wine and dinner, but there is no one of these three (taking the initiative to invite Zhu Bulang once is not counted), which shows that the husband cannot say that he has no right is an axiom that does not need to be proved.

I almost forgot, I still took the initiative to invite him to eat and drink, but I was almost killed by him.

In the afternoon, he finally came to the palace eunuch, and by the way, he also brought his tooth card from Shang Baosi. If it was someone else, he could only go to the yamen and wait for the result, but Master Li was a close attendant and there was no yamen outside the palace, so the envoy went directly to the house to deliver the decree, which was also regarded as the royal courtier's preferential treatment for the courtiers.

Sending off this Father-in-law Mai, Li Youshang was still immersed in the joy of reinstatement, but another uninvited guest came to the door. It was an old official in Tsing Yi who didn't know what the yamen was, so he left a notebook for him and left.

After Li You unfolded the document, he first saw that there was a red seal at the end, and carefully distinguished that it was the seal of "Henan Provincial Supervision Imperial History". He also read the specific contents, but he was told to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on his own.

In the officialdom of the dynasty, the supervision force is unprecedentedly strong. The six branches and thirteen paths formally constitute a complete system that is all-encompassing, and even supervises each other.

Among them, the Henan Province in the thirteen supervision imperial history is also in charge of the supervision affairs of the forbidden officials, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate itself is also listed in the Henan Provincial Supervision List. What is more humorous is that the celebrant is also in this list, I don't know if there was a powerful imperial history to inspect the work of the celebrant when the celebrant was at its most powerful.

Li You vaguely remembered that the Empress Dowager's edict was to "remove the scholar and suspend him pending investigation", not only with a suspension, but also with the word "survey".

Isn't this a scene that everyone knows, the Queen Mother doesn't really want to dismiss the official, there is actually a royal history to be more serious, and it is a well-informed imperial history.

This slowly swallowed, and the old man who only sent the poster so far doesn't seem to know that the queen mother has revoked the punishment... Li You could only spit out three words about this: "What a ghost." ”

On the first day of Li You's reinstatement, he caught up with the court meeting, which was also his first court visit.

Theoretically, the country's pilgrimage to the son of tomorrow should be called the early dynasty, and the governance of the country should not be slack, and the early dynasty is not enough, and the afternoon dynasty must be added. But this early dynasty was an extremely hard thing for the Son of Heaven and the minister.

In the early years of Wanli, when Zhang Jiangling was in power, he used the young age of the Son of Heaven as an excuse to change the Chang Dynasty to the three, sixth, and ninth dynasties from the system, and the number suddenly decreased by two-thirds. Although there are special cases of ignoring the DPRK for decades, it is not a system after all.

Until today, the early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty has never restored the Chang Dynasty, from the minister to the Son of Heaven are all confused about this matter, no one wants to restore the ancestral dynasty, that is to offend the anger of the public. Every day and sanitation workers have a similar work and rest time, get up at three or four o'clock and enter the palace at five or six o'clock, is it to be an official (to be an emperor) or to suffer?

There are not 3,000 of the court's counselors, but 2,000. Seeing that the sun was about to come out and that the hour had come, they lined up outside the noon gate under the command of the celebrant to register. High-ranking officials also rushed out of the east and west.

When Li Youshi Shiran, a member of the Zhongshu House, appeared outside the noon gate, he also attracted the attention of some acquaintances - wasn't Li Sheren suspended by the Queen Mother? Why are you still coming to court today?

Those who have a quick brain have already guessed what is happening, and they can't help but sigh a few times, it's good to have a way to be an official. The suspension was only three days before he was reinstated, and who was not suspended for ten days and a half months? Those who were unlucky were also assigned to study in the country for half a year.

Wen left and Wu right, lined up through the noon gate, and stopped at Jinshui Henan. After the whip was sounded, he bustled across the Jinshui River and lined up the classes according to the rules.

The reason why it is said to be according to the rules rather than according to the rank, according to the rank, according to the errand, etc., is because the ranking of the court meeting is a very complicated science, not only to look at the grade, but also to refer to all aspects. And it's always changed back and forth, and it's hard to tell the ins and outs of it if you're not a professional in Honglu Temple.

The position of Jinghe Chaochang Dynasty is roughly as follows, and the throne of the Son of Heaven is set up under the Huangji Gate, which is called Jintai. On the left and right of the throne are all kinds of brocade guards, two Hanlin, two middle books, umbrella cover palace fans and the like.

His Majesty Dan under the Golden Throne, the Jinyi Guard and the Cabinet University Scholars are in opposition to each other.

On the square under His Majesty Dan, the west of the imperial road is the military attaché, and the prince is also here, and the front point is slightly highlighted. The east of the Imperial Road is a civil official, and it is also the place where the ranking rules are the most complicated.

At the front are the Honglu Temple Praise Officer, the General Administration Department Reading Officer, the Correction Imperial History Supervision Officer, and the Shangbao Division Former Officer, who have errands at the court meeting, which is convenient to enter and exit. The second is the Hanlin and the internal officials, as the close attendants of the Son of Heaven, of course, the position should be closer to the throne, and the older the seniority, the closer to the middle royal road.

Again, it is the imperial envoy of the second and third grades, the deputy imperial envoy, the Shangshu, the waiter, the Zhengqing of the yamen, and the priest of the country, which can be regarded as the echelon of the bigwigs of the foreign dynasty.

Behind the big guy echelon are the saliva officials of the six departments and thirteen provinces, and their positions are higher than those of the five or six rank divisions, in order to show their nobility.

This is a dividing line, and further down, no one cares, and at the court meeting, it is to fill the scene and play soy sauce.

Li You's location is quite at the front, but because of his shallow qualifications, he is still quite outward, which is about the northeast corner of the entire Chaohui class plan. I could only vaguely see Tianyan's left side of his face and the back of His Majesty Dan's university scholar through twenty or thirty people.

Nowadays, the court meeting is mostly based on etiquette and surnames, and basically has no function of deciding on political affairs. Ben said that it was no exception, the cabinet and the general secretary played a few things to symbolize the surname of His Majesty, and the Son of Heaven replied three "I know" and three "as usual".

This big scene did not have Li Sheren's share of showing up. Li You's position was relatively biased, and after research, it was found that he could not be seen in the field of vision of the Imperial History, so he lowered his head and closed his eyes to recuperate.

However, he had only closed his eyes for a moment, and there was a faint noise in his ears. Who is bold and noisy in the court? Master Li reopened his eyes curiously, and looked at the voice, but saw that above His Majesty Dan, Yuan Ge Lao and a certain official were arguing about something.

Li You supported his colleague next to him with his elbow and asked quietly, "What's wrong up there?" ”

The colleague was very angry with the enemy: "This person is doing something, and he didn't know about it through my cabinet!" ”

Li You came to his senses. In terms of system design, the cabinet has no initiative in administering the government, and all yamen can directly play the monarch's front without communicating with the cabinet, and then the emperor will send the cabinet to deal with it. However, in fact, in recent years, the weight of the cabinet, and the major affairs of the various yamen of the foreign courts, most of them have to send a copy to the cabinet for preview before sealing the invitation, and the cabinet elders can only officially enter the performance procedure when they have no opinion.

It seems that Yuan Ge Lao quarreled with the official because he did not communicate with the cabinet and directly reported to the Son of Heaven. Although it is a small matter, when it comes to the authority of the cabinet, he cannot but value it.

Although Li You is a scholar in the cabinet, he is still short and born in a foreign dynasty, so he lacks the consciousness of being a member of the cabinet. He didn't share the same hatred as his colleagues on the side, but watched the excitement from afar.

After arguing for a long time, each with its own reason, there was no result (and there could be no result), the two sides broke up unhappily, and the court meeting procedure continued.

After that, a certain governor and a certain political envoy entered the Hajj and were encouraged, and several prefects and counties could not even enter the noon gate, so they could only bow outside the noon gate.

In the end, the Hanlin official took out two edicts and read them, and some officials went to Dan His Majesty to receive the edict, and the first court visit of Lord Li's officialdom career ended here, and there were no waves in the rest.

The court counselors returned to the yamen in twos and threes, and those who were far away would have to suffer a little from running around. In comparison, the cabinet was much happier, and they didn't need to go out of the noon gate, they only had to go southeast through the Huiji Gate to the ground.

Li You was not familiar with his colleagues, so no one was slowly pacing and chatting with him. And because he was tall and long-legged, he walked fast, and he arrived at the gate of Huiji first.

The gate is a gate-like hall with a house-like structure, and the ten clerks on duty at this gate are lined up on both sides, waiting for the scholars to enter the cabinet through the door.

The fathers-in-law heard the footsteps, but when they looked up, they saw Li Sheren taking the lead and climbing the stairs, and their faces suddenly changed. What's going on? According to the custom, the scholars go first according to the ranking, and then it is the turn of the others... Momentarily negligent, Li You, who was not aware of the disobedience, entered the gate of the meeting in a big way, nodded kindly to the supervisors in the clerical room, and was about to pass through the door.

An inner supervisor whispered: "Li Sheren is slow." ”

Li You turned his head in surprise and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm here to wait for the scholar to go first..."

Li Sheren patted his forehead with his hand, regretting it, and he was careless and frivolous, rude, and reckless! Spread it out to make the scholars laugh at it.

He hurriedly turned around and went out, wanting to make amends, but unfortunately it was too late. When he walked outside the door, he saw that Yuan Ge Lao had already come from the opposite side and came to the bottom of the stairs.

As the highest-ranking scholar of Wenhua Hall in the cabinet, Yuan Ge is not at the front, who can be at the front? happened to meet Li You face to face, and he was stunned for a while.

Seeing that the hateful Li Sheren had already run to the Huiji Gate, and even turned around to confront him proudly, Yuan Ge Lao naturally thought that Li You was doing it on purpose, and his face sank gloomily.

Li You's mind flashed a few times, he quickly saluted in a panic, and respectfully raised his hand and said, "I've seen Elder Ge!" Not long after the official first entered the palace, he was rude unintentionally, and he forgave him, and there will never be a next time. ”

Yuan Ge's face turned from black to red again, and he was all angry. You Li You didn't avoid the side, stood on the steps to take the first salute, but it seemed to be in a high position, so how should the old man, a bachelor who was standing a few heads shorter at the bottom of the steps, deal with it? If you don't return the gift, how to return the gift, it's a loss of face!

He must have done it on purpose, Yuan Ge was angry, since he entered the cabinet, he had never seen anyone who dared to humiliate him like this.

The lord humiliated the ministers to death, and Shao Sheren, the attaché of Yuan Ge Lao, rushed to the front and scolded loudly: "Shameless officials, fortunately into the rat generation, dare to do this!" ”

Hitting people is not a slap in the face, the background of the official is the most unmentionable place on Li You, the so-called protagonist's reverse scales!

It is rare to be kind to others, and Li You, who apologized politely, changed color when he heard this. His grandmother's, the two sentences that were scolded were beyond the scope of the prior design, but they were first exposed.
