Chapter Forty-Six: A court meeting demoted a general, and the two princes said two opinions.
Sometimes when you see a beauty, you always don't want to be disturbed loudly.
After Emperor Yonglong called Yuan Chunqi, he looked at her a few more times, but finally did not speak again, and turned around to accompany the Water Queen into the palace.
Yuan Chunfei was not a palace maid, so it was not easy to enter without permission, so she had to leave.
The next day, Emperor Yonglong issued a decree before the court: the female Shi Jia family, virtuous and filial, dignified and graceful, was promoted to Jieyu and was given to live in Changxiu Palace.
The news reached Yuan Chun's ears, and under the congratulations of a cadre of palace people, Yuan Chun, who had spent half a year in the harem, was finally relieved......
Emperor Yonglong is not a person without determination, just like seeing Yuanchun yesterday, although Emperor Yonglong was moved, he still asked her to go back and live in the queen's palace by himself.
Early this morning, Emperor Yonglong did not go to find Jieyu who had just been sealed, but also rushed to preside over the court meeting first. Yesterday, Lin Ruhai reported that the water thieves robbed the salt road, but it made Emperor Yonglong pile up a belly of fire.
In the Qianqing Palace, the civil and military are separated, and the rank is from high to low, and the order is in order.
In addition to the 100 official court meetings, the daily court court meetings are held here, and officials below the third rank are not eligible to participate.
With the Yonglong Emperor coming, sitting on the dragon chair, the civil and military officials shouted long live, and the court meeting officially began.
Under normal circumstances, the so-called court meeting is just a process, each ministry performs its own duties, and every day it comes to report to the emperor. It is an occasional dispute in the court meeting, and it is also a common practice.
The dispute is as follows: the Ministry of Industry wants to ask for more money from the Ministry of Households, but the Ministry of Households says that there is no money; The Ministry of Rites wanted to ask for more money from the Ministry of Households, but the Ministry of Accounts said that there was no money; The criminal department said that Dali Temple arbitrarily judged false cases and disrupted the files, and Dali Temple said that it would not do anything in the criminal department, don't take a mouse......
After a set of procedures for civil and military officials, they finally mentioned the matter of water thieves in Taihu Lake in the south.
Since this group of water thieves has plundered the salt road, it is a hundred times greater than the smuggler of salt, and the court cannot turn a blind eye.
Emperor Yonglong specially ordered the imperial and central capital Taiwei to control Gao Chen's speech, and the capital Taiwei controlled the government and privy affairs, divided the power, and was in charge of the soldiers and horses in the country.
Emperor Yonglong said: "Captain Gao, you said, how to suppress the water thieves in Taihu Lake, take a charter here, so that General Yuhang's mansion can act." ”
Gao Chen was in a trance when he came over in the morning, because he received a military letter from General Yuhang's mansion complaining about the difficulties.
At this time, when I heard Emperor Yonglong's question, Gao Chen was shocked that he was sweating profusely, and he was crying bitterly in his heart... In the end, Gao Chen had no choice but to come out of the ranks, and said prostrately: "The minister respectfully asks the Holy Lord to know that this morning a message came from the Yuhang General's Mansion, saying that the internal naval army was burned by the Taihu Lake thieves. Now, I'm afraid I can only slowly... Fig..."
The water army is gone, so what are the water thieves fighting?
Because of this morning's news, most people in the DPRK and China did not know about it, and they began to whisper at this time.
Emperor Yonglong asked someone to bring General Yuhang's fold, and opened it with a frown to take a closer look.
The more he looked at Emperor Yonglong's face, the more ugly it became, and in the middle of a loud sound, he scolded and threw the fold in front of Gao Chen.
"This rubbish! I dare to say that I started with military merits, but I can't be blinded in the Jiangnan Huahua world! ”
"The cabinet drafts the will, passes on the will, the current General Yu Hang is not good for the bandits, exhausts the three armies, demotes him to a concubine, and sends his family back to the court to discuss the crime!"
Emperor Yonglong's will was at one point, and the people of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in unison and said:
"Please think twice."
This kind of performance is not that everyone has a friendship with General Yu Hang, so it is necessary to protect him, but it is a common practice in the DPRK and China, every time the emperor wants to have a seizure, he will come to such a play, so as not to let no one speak for the offender in the Manchu Dynasty, which is called the chill of the official and the worry of the emperor.
Emperor Yonglong sneered, and the laughter wandered back and forth in the main hall, making people shudder.
Emperor Yonglong did not give any face: "General Yuhang of Jiangnan, a dignified member of the second-grade army!" was supposed to be a peaceful place, but he couldn't even deal with a bandit that was less than a year old, what use did he want! Intended! ”
Seeing that the emperor's will had been decided, and several pavilion elders had no intention of pleading again, they all got up.
If the emperor's attitude is not firm, and someone in the court speaks for the prisoner, then according to the usual practice, he must ask the emperor to think twice.
All the officials got up, only the commander of the capital was still kneeling, and the emperor seemed to ignore him.
At this time, Prince Zhongshun said: "Shengshang, Weichen thinks that since General Yuhang has been dismissed, he should discuss the new candidate to take over local affairs in time, so as not to be taken advantage of by water thieves." If you want to suppress it again, the imperial court should add more soldiers and horses. ”
Emperor Yonglong nodded, and secretly said that Prince Zhongshun is a practical person, and it is not in vain that he values this little uncle.
"The Yamen of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Yamen of the Imperial Commander's Office handed over the suitable list to the cabinet, and the cabinet will discuss the candidates."
When Gao Chen heard Emperor Yonglong's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and responded on the ground.
Du Taiwei commanded the government and the Yuhang General's Mansion is not a superior or subordinate, but it has the responsibility of supervision, if Emperor Yonglong wants to do high, at this time has been suppressed by a charge of malfeasance with poor supervision. And since it is called Gao Chen's proposed candidate, this shows that Emperor Yonglong has no intention of pursuing it, and at most he will be fined some silver. Gao Chen, that is, because of this, he is relieved.
Sure enough, after Emperor Yonglong finished speaking, he called Gao Yu up and ordered him to return to the throne.
King Shui Rong of Beijing listened to the court discussion, and at this time, he saw that the matter of suppressing bandits had already been decided, and no one in the court objected.
Shui Rong came out after Gao Chen returned to his position and asked: "Shengshang, Weichen is stupid, and he privately thinks that the suppression of bandits costs a lot, and the army is together, and the lives around Taihu Lake will inevitably be ruined." In this case, why not recruit and divide the head of the thief, but if there are those who do not obey the court, then use the thief to fight the thief. ”
"Hmm." Emperor Yonglong nodded, looked at Shui Rong and said with a smile: "Although King Beijing is young, he still has some rules to do things, and he knows how to follow the old chapters." ”
"Okay, I ordered you to go south for Qincha, just wait for the new General Yu Hang to defeat the water thieves, and then do the recruitment of peace."
Another fight is necessary, otherwise it will not make the dry water thief laugh at the incompetence of the court. Also, it's easier to recruit after defeating the water thieves.
Emperor Yonglong turned to the other ministers and said, "Do you have any objections?" ”
The princes replied, "The ministers obey the holy will." ”
Every word and deed in the court meeting has a charter, otherwise it would not be so neat.
"Well, the candidates for the military department and the Du Taiwei Command Mansion will come as soon as possible and retreat from the dynasty after they go back." Emperor Yonglong put his words down and got up to leave.
At the end of the court meeting, the consul eunuchs shouted in the back and retreated, except for a few pavilion elders who chased the direction of Emperor Yonglong, the rest of the ministers left the Qianqing Palace and returned to the yamen to work.
Not all of the people who participated in the court meeting had subordinate officials, such as Prince Zhongshun and King Beijing. At this moment, Prince Zhongshun came to find King Beijing to go out of the imperial city together.
The two are side by side, one is a royal uncle, and the other is a prince of many generations, both of whom are dignitaries of the dynasty, and where do others dare to disturb.
