Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Early Dynasty Fengtian, the Monarch and the Ministers Are Strange
As soon as the sky dawned, the Forbidden City was already lively.
More than 1,000 civil and military officials came to Fengtianmen Square on time, but they no longer went to the West Corner Gate in the west, but came to the imposing Fengtianmen.
Fengtianmen dwells on the white stone pedestal, this is a "wide nine into five" heavy eaves rest mountain top gatehouse, left and right sides each set up a tall bronze lion.
The officials standing here felt a stronger sense of imperial authority, but no matter how ambitious they were, it was indeed difficult to erase the reverence for imperial power.
Zhu Youji, who was dressed in regular clothes, rode a dragon chariot from the Qianqing Palace, and as he sat on the throne from behind around the low screen, the sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami sounded below.
It's just that the daily morning dynasty is no longer new, and there is always a fixed set of rituals, and the order of the various yamen performances has not changed at all.
Zhu Youzhi couldn't help but yawn when he saw that the Zongren Mansion had asked him to finalize the name of the Zongren again, and the Ministry of Rites had read a full stick of incense.
He finally knew why Jiajing and Wanli wanted to quit the dynasty, and together with his father, he was also very perfunctory to the early dynasty, and this early dynasty was indeed more formal than effective.
Yesterday, the notes of these yamen affairs were sent to the cabinet in the form of copies, and after the cabinet votes were drafted, he also made the final instructions, and only needed to send his instructions back to the various yamen.
On the contrary, today I have to summon so many officials to come over, and the officials in Shangshu will read it again, and I have to send someone to read it again.
As for the more than 1,000 officials, it is said that "thousands of officials listen to politics", but the officials in the back row must not be able to hear what is said here, and the officials in the front row all look like they have not woken up.
When Zhu Youzhu saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: What good is it to sit in the court?
When it was the turn of the criminal department, it was like a pebble falling on the surface of a calm lake.
After the regular recital, Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly made a request: "Your Majesty, the old minister requests to add another recital, and please give permission!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Du Ming thoughtfully, but this didn't seem to be too out of line with a request, so they turned their heads to look at Zhu Youzhi one after another.
Liang Fang is not here today, and the eunuch accompanying him is Guo Yong, and it is not good to give Zhu Youzhi an idea at this time.
Zhu Youzhu faintly felt that Du Ming was not good, but he still chose to face the battle quietly: "Yun Song!" ”
"Your Majesty, Wang Yue's grievances are all in the facts, and his poems are recorded in the case book of the Criminal Department! Wang Yue should judge the crime according to the law of the country, and His Majesty can forgive this sinner, but he cannot be reused! I have produced many capable ministers, and I have not reused the reason of the guilty ministers, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your life! Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, knelt down and played.
This......
When the officials present heard this request, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The re-use of Wang Yue is from His Majesty's Chrysostom, but this criminal department Shangshu seems to have committed an old fool, and he still wants to hold Wang Yue for the crime of "writing poetry and resentment".
Zhu Youzhu knew that Du Ming was Wan An's comrade, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Wan An.
Wan An's old face showed a solemn expression, and he looked at Du Ming who was kneeling below in great confusion, and the tone he had clearly set was to watch the fire from the other side.
Xu Pu saw Du Ming jump out to stop His Majesty from reviving Wang Yue, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Zhu Youzhu couldn't catch anything useful from Wan An's face, so he said to Du Ming, who was kneeling below: "Du Shangshu, can you write poetry and resentment in the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Although the Ming Dynasty has not seen the law, the courtiers have antipathy, and the Ming Jun will deal with it! Wang Yue is very resentful, and even if the old minister dies today, he also begs His Majesty to take back his life! Du Ming's acting skills were on his body, and he immediately burst into tears.
Zhu Youzhu thought to himself, isn't he trying to force me to play the Ming Dynasty version of the text prison? It's just that I don't want to talk to this person more, so I said lightly: "I know today that the temporary addition is easy to disturb the king's heart, which is not conducive to the constitution of the daily morning dynasty, so from today onwards, I will talk about it tomorrow, retreat!" ”
This......
The officials present couldn't help but look at each other, which clearly looked like scoundrels.
"Everyone is looking away, this new gentleman is really amazing!" Wan An saw Zhu Youzhu dealing with Du Ming like this, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
This time, Zhu Youzhu was suddenly caught off guard by Du Ming, and now he uses this seemingly scoundrel method to not only defuse Du Ming's offensive, but also take the opportunity to block the unconventional passage of the encore.
With such wisdom and power, where is the rumored benevolent prince who is stupid and sweet, it is clearly the black-bellied emperor who is better than the blue of the first emperor.
"Obey the order!" Du Ming was already ready to argue with this new monarch, and he didn't want to be resolved like this, but he had no choice but to bow and retreat.
Today was still a cloudy day, and as the wind from the east continued to blow, the more than 1,000 civil and military officials standing in Fengtianmen Square were shivering with cold.
Finally, it was the turn of the last minister, so that everyone could see the dawn of the next dynasty.
Xu Pu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials and a bachelor of Hanlin, came out on behalf of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "The minister has this dedication!" ”
"Xu Aiqing, please play!" Zhu Youzhu didn't have much affection for Xu Pu, but he said lightly.
Xu Pu immediately showed a murderous intention and said: "Xu Pu, the left waiter of the Ministry of Ministers and a scholar of Hanlin, is respectful: The eunuch Wei of Boshi City, Guangdong Province has been indulged in Jia Rentongfan, and he has falsely accused Chen Xuanzhi, the political envoy, of being arrested and died on the way to be escorted, please send an order to him to Beijing for trial!" ”
The more than 1,000 civil and military officials standing in the square to listen to the government have become accustomed to this, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, they naturally want to clean up those dead eunuchs who were reused in the Chenghua Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation had changed now, and His Majesty had actually intended to sort out the salt administration, they would probably have to clean up the party.
Zhu Youzhu knew that the City Ship Division was related to the Ming Dynasty's plan to open the sea, and it was beneficial for Guangdong merchants to go to Nanyang to benefit the country, so he nodded lightly to Guo Yong, the eunuch next to him.
Guo Yong had already made preparations, and when he read it out: "Answer: Guangdong City's Bo Si raised the eunuch Wei Zong Jia Ren to investigate and verify the evidence, and present human and physical evidence, not hearsay!" The arrest of the political envoy Chen Xuanzhi was ordered by the first emperor, and the death of illness on the way to escort was an accident. ”
"Your Majesty, it is really unfair to deal with it like this...... Xu Pu didn't expect that Zhu Youzhu would actually want to shield the eunuch Wei Wei of Guangdong City, and immediately questioned the authenticity.
Guo Yong faced the leader of the clear stream, but he defended the imperial power and said: "Xu Shilang, after today's recital, please go back to the class!" ”
Xu Pu gritted his teeth in anger, first glared at Guo Yong fiercely, then looked at the strange student on the dragon throne, and finally retreated with anger.
At this moment, he found that this student was becoming more and more unfamiliar, but he never thought that Emperor Chenghua would leave Zhu Youzhi "Governing Policy".
The officials present saw that the officials had finished their work and finally did not need to be frozen here, so they all looked up at Zhu Youzhu on the dragon seat.
Zhu Youzhu knew that he didn't want to be led by the nose by these ministers all the time, so he said lightly: "All the households are out!" ”
"The minister is here!" Li Min, the head of the household department, took the two Lang Zhong and the officials of the Thirteenth Division out of the ranks, and came to the bottom to kneel and salute.
Zhu Youzhi picked up the test paper on the treasure case, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Yesterday, the results of the Thirteen Divisions official examination have come out, and you must be very clear!" ”
The officials of the Thirteenth Division couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly, they might have been able to remain calm and calm yesterday, but after a night of cranky thinking, they were already sweating like rain at this time.
Because they didn't know about other people's exams, and they all answered the question of the salt price in the capital incorrectly, many officials mistakenly thought that they were the last in the grades.
It is precisely because of this that many officials suspect that they are going to lose their official positions, and they are naturally very afraid at this time, and only hope that His Majesty will be extrajudicial to them.
"I picked up the lights in the East Warm Pavilion last night and personally reviewed the test papers, and I was very disappointed!" Zhu Youzhu knows the benefits of taking it, that is, the eye medicine is authentic.
The officials of the Thirteenth Division were nervous for a while, and immediately said: "The minister is panicked, and the minister is willing to be disposed of by His Majesty!" ”
"The last two people were eliminated this time, Song Chaowei in Guangxi Shilang was dismissed, and Li Bin, a member of Fujian Division, was dismissed!" Zhu Youzhu stopped going around in circles, and immediately made an announcement.
When Song Chaowei of Guangxi Shilang and Li Bin, a member of Fujian Division, heard this, their faces were immediately like ashes.
Call......
When the officials of the Thirteenth Division heard this answer, they even secretly exhaled a turbid breath.
This result is unexpected, but it is also reasonable, although Song Chaowei in Guangxi Silang and Li Bin, a member of Fujian Silang, are both officials with backstage, but they are indeed big straw bales.
"Take it away!"
Since Zhu Youzhu had already personally asked for the dismissal of the two officials, Mu Bin, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, immediately went down to take away the tooth tags and black gauze hats of the two officials, and dragged the two out of the noon gate on the spot.
"The officials obey the order!" Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at the team of officials, and said in a deep voice.
Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, secretly swallowed his saliva, and immediately came out and said: "The ministers listen to the order!" ”
"Guangxi Division member Liu Zhong was promoted to Guangxi Division, and Hai Wenliang, director of Guangxi Division, was promoted to Guangxi Division, filling the vacancy of Guangxi Division's director ......" Zhu Youzhu was not ambiguous about the personnel rights this time, and immediately made personnel appointments.
When the officials of the Thirteenth Division present heard this order, their eyes flashed with a bright light.
Judging from this transfer, His Majesty is not just talking, but really reusing the officials of their household department, and the official positions that have just been vacant are all promoted from the low-level officials of the household department.
In the face of this order, Li Yu also respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Obey the order!" ”
"Huke is all listed for Chen Shou in the matter!" Zhu Youji's gaze fell on Kedao's team, and he ordered in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Wan An and Liu Ji silently exchanged glances, this should have come after all.
