Chapter 503: Meritorious Service Is Too Fast And It Hurts Headache
Don't look at the Emperor Taishang's reputation as a benevolent saint in the court and the opposition, but compared to the "mean" current emperor, if the old man doesn't want to tell you any legal principles, no one can stop him.
He wants to protect Jia Cong, even if you count everyone inside and outside the palace today, you won't be able to take Jia Cong's life.
This is the majesty of Emperor Zhaowu who has been in charge of the country for 50 years, a verbal message, a jade ruyi, and an old servant will suppress a group of civil and military ministers to death, and watch them leave Fengtian Hall with Jia Cong.
"Your Majesty......"
Some people were unwilling and just wanted to force the emperor to speak out.
But seeing that the emperor's face was frosty, he snorted coldly and said, "What are you calling me for?" That's my dad, what can I do? You're on it! ”
Puff~
The old thirteen really couldn't help it this time, glanced at his fourth brother of the emperor, and saw that the green tendons on his forehead began to jump, and immediately lowered his head and pretended to be well-behaved.
The fourth brother is really good at acting, if this matter hadn't been discussed by the father and the fourth brother earlier, he would have gone to the imperial tomb to beat the old fourteen again!
Just dismissed Jia Cong's lord and cut Jia Cong's official, Dai Quan appeared outside the palace, what a coincidence!
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the man turned his gaze to the several bigwigs sitting on the Taishi's chair.
"Ladies and gentlemen......
Lord Shousuke can't speak, and as the second assistant, Xia Lingxing made a statement on behalf of the cabinet.
"Jia Cong's officials have all been dismissed, and the saint has said that he will punish him, what do you want? Do you want to take a rope and strangle him? Don't forget, why did he ignore the majesty of the law and kill Chen Wanduo? ”
really killed Jia Cong, the emperor may still take into account the overall situation, as far as the old sage values Jia Cong, those who impeach Jia Cong today are counted as one, and all of them have to go to the Yama Hall to report.
That is the right-hand man chosen by the two saints and Wei Wenzheng for the next generation of emperors, and anyone in the Fengtian Hall can die today, but Jia Cong can't do anything.
This group of people really has a hole in their brains, why can't they see the situation clearly?
"Okay, at the beginning of the year, I didn't say a single thing about the business, and I did all these things!"
Zhou Jiong suddenly opened his eyes and coldly glanced at several blue-robed officials who were questioning them.
"Don't think that this pavilion doesn't know, why Chen Wan and others said those words in the imperial mausoleum, this pavilion will let people check it, don't think about people dying and disappearing debts...... Criminal Department, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple! ”
Cai Quan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lu Yang, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Wang Zhiwei of Dali Temple, immediately came out of the ranks, bowed in unison and said, "The lower officials are here!" ”
After seeing Zhou Jiong and the emperor glance at each other, the two nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Chen Wan's death, the internal situation is full of suspicions, this cabinet orders the three divisions to intersect, and the case must be investigated within ten days, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
Cai Quan and the three of them bowed down and bowed again, and said in unison: "The next official receives the order." ”
It's actually a triage of three divisions, it's over!
There were many people in the hall who had ghosts in their hearts, and when they heard that Zhou Jiong ordered the three divisions to try Chen and the case, their faces immediately changed.
I thought that they were attacking today, but I didn't expect that the situation of a complete victory just now came to a storm.
Shouldn't the emperor issue an order to comfort the widows of Chen and Wan, and then put all the responsibility on the Jia family children who have become outcasts, and finally according to the convention, the big things are turned into small things, hello, I'm good, everyone?
Before these people could recover from their horror, Zhou Jiong once again opened his mouth and came to a king's bomb.
"Today is the first great dynasty at the beginning of the year, and a few years ago, His Majesty has issued an order to order the officials of the court and the central government to play and talk about the reform of the official system. Now, it's time to get down to business......"
……
Jia Caomin stood in front of the oven, skillfully turning the meat skewers in his hands, the cumin had been sprinkled, and it was scorching under the charcoal fire, full of fragrance, and the eyes of the greedy little princess Chun'er were glowing.
Half of the time has passed, and just after the New Year, the breath of spring seems to have arrived.
The sun was shining just right today, and the old man was sitting in a rocking chair with a thick blanket on his body, sunbathing.
Jia Cong handed the little princess a skewer of meat that was grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, and walked to the old man with the remaining skewers.
"The barbecue has to be accompanied by good wine, but you can't drink too much, just a glass."
Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, the wine of the Western Regions is really a must.
The old man ate barbecue and drank wine, and talked to Jia Cong about the next arrangement.
"When you leave the palace for a while, you have to behave more arrogantly, and it's best to beat a few people......"
Yes?
Jia Cong's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't keep up with the old man's train of thought.
"Saint, aren't you going to punish me? Can I go home? ”
The old man glanced at Jia Cong: "Stupid! Why did I punish you? What are you doing wrong? Even if you do something wrong, if I am in power, where will they dare to talk too much? The right and wrong in this world is not up to me. The fourth child is too soft-hearted and not ruthless enough......"
What you always say makes sense, it makes my heart warm boy.
Jia Cong nodded first, then shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "I still have to occupy the righteousness, this time I did it." Whether my official is just a knight, I must give an explanation to the people of the world. Your Majesty wants to reform the official system and implement new laws, which is not conducive to the overall situation. ”
The old man looked at Jia Cong seriously, and saw that his words and deeds did not seem to be fake, so he smiled strangely and said: "You kid is really different from ordinary people, it seems that I, the fourth child and the old man Wei are not wrong." Boy Cong, don't worry, when I finish fishing, I will let the fourth child find a chance to restore your official title. ”
"Then the grass people have thanked you first, the sage, but let's wait for the grass people to make a few more great contributions, the truth is not beautiful after all."
"Oh?"
Jia Cong's self-confidence made the old man interested, and he asked suspiciously: "Are you kid hiding it from me again, and are you going to make a big one?" ”
Hey~
Jia Cong smiled mysteriously, and muttered in the old man's ear for a while after getting closer.
The old man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smiling happily at the end.
"Is it really possible?"
Jia Cong slapped his chest and assured categorically: "It is absolutely feasible, for this matter, my family has raised a lot of cattle in many places and has been experimenting for a long time." I haven't reported to you before, because I'm worried that the success rate is not high and you will be disappointed. A few years ago, the news came back from the Western Regions, and there was smallpox at the beginning of winter last year, and cowpox made a great contribution, with a success rate of nearly ninety to five. ”
Smallpox is a terrible disaster at the very beginning.
Natural disasters can be prevented, man-made disasters can be prevented, but smallpox makes people feel hopeless.
When smallpox appeared, you were rich or poor, and everyone was truly equal.
The old man still remembers a smallpox plague in the capital when he was a child, and several of his siblings were killed by smallpox.
At that time, the imperial doctors of Tai Hospital were helpless.
Now Jia Cong has an almost perfect prevention and control method, which is even greater than the destruction of the country.
Don't talk about being a marquis, you deserve to be a prince.
"You're a ...... kid I don't even know if I want to thank all the shit that impeached you today. ”
The expression on the old man's face is quite complicated, and sometimes it is a headache for the courtiers to be too good.
As far as Jia Cong's meritorious service speed is concerned, he is worried about the fourth child. If it weren't for the fact that Jia Cong's official title happened to be the result of Chen and Wan today, the great work of preventing and controlling smallpox, would the fourth child be rewarded or not?
Reward, this kid is only fourteen this year, and he has become an official to a squire, and a knight to a marquis.
Don't reward it, it's not in accordance with the rules, and it goes against the tradition of rewarding meritorious service in the country.
Jia Cong grinned, scratched his brain and said: "This is what I should do, the Jia family is favored by the country, you and Your Majesty are so good to me, I will always do something practical to repay you and Your Majesty." The biggest credit for the cowpox vaccine is the few doctors who are still in the Western Regions......"
At the beginning, he transferred more than ten military doctors from the Hexi army to form a research team and went to the Western Regions to raise cattle for experiments, which was more than two years.
During this period, five people died of infection due to the test cowpox, and these more than ten doctors can really be said to have been born and died for the prevention and treatment of smallpox.
Jia Cong explained the whole process in detail, and finally admonished: "Sage, I didn't dare to put the experiment in the Central Plains at the beginning, because smallpox was too terrible. But these healers knew that they would have to face death head-on, but they were still undaunted, and it took two years to finally succeed. They are the most fearless warriors, who have made great contributions to the country and the people of the world, and they must be rewarded heavily! ”
The people of the Dynasty have now solved the problem of food and clothing, the strength of Great Xia is thriving, the power of the Celestial Empire is approaching all directions, and what is most lacking now is population.
Smallpox, a discoloring epidemic, was one of the main culprits restricting the population development of the country.
The old man nodded solemnly and looked at Dai Quan on the side.
"Companion, you ask people to go to the front to wait, and after the court meeting, let the fourth child come over."
After the order, the old man looked at Zhenghuan's granddaughter who was holding a kebab on the side, and said to Jia Cong with a smile: "The merit of the doctor cannot be unrewarded, and your merit cannot be unrewarded......
……
At the beginning of the eleventh year of Yuan You, it can be said that it almost turned the sky upside down.
The policy of reforming the official system is like a fire that ignites the entire court.
The reformist faction, headed by Zhou Jiong, the first assistant to the cabinet, quarreled with the opposition, which occupied more than half of the court, in the Fengtian Hall for a whole morning, and even after most of the noon, they did not come up with a reason.
Originally, he thought that with the support of the cabinet and the center, and the support of the British government and other imperial party martial artists, he suppressed the opposition and reformed the official system.
Unexpectedly, more than half of the officials who came to the court meeting today openly opposed the reform of the bureaucratic system.
These people may not have a high official position, or even no real position. But as an emperor, he really can't underestimate the opposition of these people.
Because it is these people who have the right to speak in most of the world's public opinion and most of the world's economy......
The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the holy decree of the Son of Heaven can reach the county government at most.
The gentry is the real master of the country village, and he must not be in a hurry, and he must not be in a hurry.
The emperor kept admonishing himself not to be anxious, sat on the dragon chair with a cold face, and watched the ministers under Danbi quote scriptures one by one, spitting stars on each other like a river.
Several bigwigs of the cabinet have been in line with the emperor and have not yet come down.
At this time, the leader of the reform faction was Lin Ruhai, the secretary of the household department, and he formed an iron triangle of innovation with Wang Molin, the secretary of the ministry, and He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and held three debates with the opponents in the palace.
"Ancestral system, ancestral system, you open your mouth to the ancestral system, close your mouth to the ancestral system, don't you know that Taizu once said, the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate! The way to govern the country must first follow the example of our ancestors and reform the existing legal system......"
"There are as many as thirty percent of the redundant officials in the country, and these thirty percent will cost tens of millions of taels of silver every year, with this money, I don't know how many schools to build, and I don't know how many school-age children can be allowed to read and learn words?"
An opposition official in the hall immediately sneered: "Lin Shangshu is worthy of being in charge of money, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is a yellow and white thing......"
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly: "Don't talk about money, what will the official talk to you about?" Talking about feelings? You talk about money cheesy, but the people don't think it's cheesy. As the head of the household, this official is in charge of the world's money, and understands the affairs of the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without money. Not to mention the yellow and white things in your mouth, the official asked, why does the imperial court want to raise you? Can you get on your horse and kill the enemy or dismount the herdsmen? ”
The God of Wealth of Great Xia was really angry, he arched his hand at the emperor, and directly mocked those who had no real position, but were attached to the body of the dynasty and constantly sucked blood.
"Your Majesty spends so much money every year to support you, what's the use? Every time the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies assesses the person who attacks the lord, this one can't get on the horse, and the other can't pull the bow...... The official will ask you today, what qualifications does such a person have to enjoy the support of the imperial court? ”
"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes. If you want to enjoy the support of the imperial court, you can, show your political achievements! Don't talk about the ancestral system every day, Grandpa Tai didn't let you do nothing, eat the court's money for nothing, and obstruct the court's new policy law for the country and the people everywhere. ”
"This official will leave this for today, and from today onwards, the household department will stop distributing all useless people's money! If you are not convinced, just come to the household department to make trouble, and see if you can ask for a penny from this official! ”
If he Lin Ruhai is a weak scholar, my Lin family is a five-generation liege, and I, Lin Ruhai, play with a sword, and three or five big men can't get close!
Hum! Could it be that I, Lin Ruhai, am still afraid of you?
"Lin Ruhai, you are arrogant!"
One of the old scarlet-robed officials blushed, pointed at Lin Ruhai, and shouted angrily.
He felt that Lin Ruhai was scolding him, because he was relying on his casual position, eating the food of the imperial court, and often scolding the new policies of the imperial court.
Lin Ruhai's words completely angered many casual officials who ate idle meals, and there were also many noble wastes who were messing around, and they all pointed at Lin Ruhai angrily and scolded.
After a pause, Master Kelin returned directly to the queue, clasped his hands, closed his eyes and recuperated.
This can be regarded as making those people even more angry, but there is nothing they can do with Lin Ruhai.
Who was the best official in the Great Xia court? is not the head of the cabinet, nor the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but the head of the household department, the God of Wealth of Great Xia.
Even if the emperor wants to use the money, it depends on whether the household book gives it or not. Believe it or not, the emperor provoked the God of Wealth, and Lord Shangshu also dared to rush to the Qinzheng Palace, lying in the hall and rolling around.
The emperor was so noisy that his forehead jumped suddenly, and he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with a snap.
"Shut up! Reforming the official system is a national policy, and we have already made up our mind, and there is no possibility of changing it. Officials ......"
Wang Molin, the secretary of the ministry, bowed down and responded: "The minister is here!" ”
I only heard the emperor say coldly: "From today onwards, the central plan of the capital will be investigated, and the officials in the world will be found out within six months, and those who are incompetent will be dismissed from their official titles......."
