Chapter 90: Rivalry
As soon as Ye Tianhuai's voice fell, the court chattered and discussed.
There is a person who asks for merit for Lu Yanchen: "Your Majesty, Lu Shuqin is a meritorious king, and such loyal and brave people should be rewarded." In this way, the people of the world can imitate his deeds of loyalty. ”
There are doubts about Lu Yanchen: "Your Majesty, although Lord Lu has the merit of escorting, he has been an official for three years and has never shown anything in martial arts. ”
There are also those who pay attention to Chu Dingguo: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Chu first blocked Your Majesty in the East Gate, and then helped Mr. Lu, this person acts on both sides and three times, and must not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!" ”
Ye Tianhuai listened to them one by one, and after the ministers expressed their opinions, she first asked Gu Shihai and said, "Does Gu Ge have anything to say?" ”
"Chu Dingguo is brave, but it is not the material to be a general, Your Majesty will soon understand. As for Lu Yanchen," Gu Shihai paused, sneered briefly, and said, "In the face of the forbidden army, there are still a few people who can be a hundred, and there are not many people who can look at the big scene for two hundred years. It is really a pity for me that such a person does not take it to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but has to sit in the study to dance and write. ”
"Gu Ge Lao! Your Majesty is still here, in front of the Golden Palace, allowing you to make such a big statement! Chen Yuansi didn't know where the confidence came from, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty asked the minister, and the minister answered truthfully." Gu Shihai was not afraid, and said, "Didn't Elder Chen see the report sent by Yunzhou yesterday?" Beidi bought 3,000 flaming horses from the Jacob tribe a few years ago, and now he is missing, but Chen Ge Lao is still holding the military expenses of the military department and delaying the allocation, is he waiting for Beidi's iron cavalry to press the Baishui River? ”
"The military department's military spending this year has been overallocated! What's more, this news has not yet been implemented, Gu Ge Lao took this shadowless report and asked the old minister to allocate food and money to the military department. The old minister dared to ask, is it the old grass and trees of Gu Ge who are all soldiers, or is the army greedy and excessive? ”
"This year's spring is warm, and the Baishui River thaws early. Elder Chen Ge, I believe that we will soon be able to see these 3,000 flaming horses in the military newspaper of Yunzhou. After Gu Shihai finished speaking, he no longer reasoned with him.
There was a moment of silence in the courtroom.
After a while, Gu Shihai seemed to remember the reason for the argument, so he said to Ye Tianhuai: "The forbidden army belongs to Your Majesty, and the minister has no right to put his beak on who His Majesty wants to use." The minister has only one sentence of rough advice to warn His Majesty. ”
He looked at Ye Qianhuai, there was a smile in his eyes, but there was no smile.
"The mud can't hold up the wall."
Chen Yuansi seemed to be about to have another seizure, but Ye Tianhuai raised his hand to stop him.
She smiled at Gu Shihai and said, "Gu Ge's advice, I will take it to heart. ”
There was silence in the main hall, and the monarchs and ministers looked at each other through the jade steps, with a smile on their faces, but there was a sharp edge in their eyes.
This matter finally came to an end in the tense eyes of the two.
The court discussion came to the next topic, and Ye Qianhuai's gaze turned to the Ministry of Rites.
"Wen Xinzhong, has the time for Chunyu to try again been set?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter involves the literary school, the Gongyuan and the academies of various states, and it needs to be coordinated by many parties. In addition, some candidates have returned to their hometowns, and some are living in medical centers and cannot participate in the test, so the candidate roster needs to be revised and their identities need to be reviewed one by one. ”
"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. According to the previous version of the test roster, those who cannot take the test will be recorded as absent. The topics of the three subjects were formulated by me myself. In addition, the palace examination will be resumed, and after the list is released, the top three will all go to the temple to face the saint, and I will randomly check the knowledge. ”
The courtiers couldn't help but look at Ye Tianhuai with half surprise and half admiration.
There are more than 100 people in the top three, and they are barely standing on this Taihe Palace. Ye Tianhuai wants to see them one by one, even if it is just a spot check, I am afraid it will take a day and a night.
The ministers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Dajing hadn't had such an energetic emperor for a long time.
When the courtiers were dumbfounded, Ye Tianhuai said to Wen Xinzhong with a cold face: "If I find someone who is not worthy of the name, the entire Ministry of Rites will step down together." ”
Hearing Ye Qianhuai's last sentence, Wen Xinzhong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was stunned and speechless.
"Your Majesty is angry! The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, so why not abolish it lightly for the sake of a mere spring? An official said.
"Just a spring?" Ye Tianhuai raised his voice and said angrily, "The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six departments, but the scientific examination is the foundation of my Jing Dynasty!" If even the scientific research is rotten, then is there anyone else available in my Dajing Dynasty? When there are no more people, who can be expected to rule the country? ”
There was a moment of silence in the courtroom.
Then, Li Wenqing stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, the minister requests to supervise and review the whole process of the scientific examination to ensure that there is no suspicion of fraud in the retrial, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
Ye Tianhuai looked at Li Wenqing, his eyes could not hide his admiration, and said, "Okay, I'm ready." ”
Immediately, she asked Xiang Wen Xinzhong again: "Wen Qing, has my wedding date been set?" ”
For a while, Chen Yuansi, Gu Shihai and Wen Xinzhong looked at her with different voices.
Wen Xinzhong replied: "Yesterday, Qin Tianjian deduced the good luck, and today I asked for a god card in the Taimiao, and I will come to enlighten Your Majesty." ”
"What day does Qin Tian Supervisor calculate?"
"April 18."
"That's a month away." Ye Qian said, she pondered, then turned to Gu Shihai and asked, "Gu Ge Lao thinks this day is good?" ”
"The days of Qintian's supervision are naturally good days." Gu Shihai changed his words and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to welcome Chen Ge Lao's granddaughter into the palace this time, I don't know if Chen Ge Lao thinks this day is good?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Yuansi quite provocatively.
Chen Yuansi ignored him.
"Since this is the case, then do it according to the days counted by Qintian's monitoring." Ye Qianhuai finally spoke.
After speaking, she thought for a moment and said: "Wen Qing, I see that the eighth day of the first month of April is a good day, it is advisable to open the book, and the retry of the spring month is scheduled for the eighth day of the first month of April." ”
"Your Majesty, the spring festival is connected with the big wedding celebration, I'm afraid it's a little rushed." Wen Xinzhong complained bitterly.
"If there is a shortage of people in the spring, go to the ministry to coordinate, and if there is a shortage of people in the celebration, let the inner court allocate it to you, don't miss the good day."
Ye Tianhuai's attitude was resolute, no matter how the courtiers persuaded her, she refused to let go.
The court meeting ended in the midst of many discussions.
Coming out of the Taihe Palace, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites trotted to catch up with Wen Xinzhong, and sighed with him with anxiety on his face: "My lord, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" Don't you want to deliberately embarrass the Ministry of Etiquette so that we can be dismissed? ”
Wen Xinzhong glanced at him angrily, and his eyes were full of "children can't be taught".
"Your Majesty went around in such a big circle just to remove us from office? What is he trying to do? ”
The squire was a little confused by the rhetorical question, and said, "Then why does Your Majesty have to schedule the time of the scientific expedition and the wedding so closely?" Isn't this my life? ”
Wen Xinzhong stopped and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of worry and said: "Once this scientific examination is not done well, I will take off this official uniform, who will handle the emperor's wedding at that time?" ”
He glanced at his subordinates meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty is not embarrassing you and me, but threatening Gu Ge Lao." As far as you and I are concerned, do you need to embarrass Your Majesty so hard? ”
