"Do you want my brother to give advice to the Holy One?" Sima You squinted at Sima Xunian.

"Zhongshu Ling is in charge of the formulation of the world's decrees, and he is the only one." Sima Xunian smiled wickedly at Sima You's gaze.

"Do you think I can move him?"

"Lord Sima Yang is not a general, he should know that there are still many court officials who have the handle of Qin Shuyun, Lord Qin will take a copy every three or five days, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it."

Sima You was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he said, "In your opinion, propose to the Holy Lord now?" ”

"No, wait a little longer......" Sima Xunian finished speaking, and ran quickly, Sima You was stunned in place.

The court is not very quiet, since the beginning of the summer, there have been officials who have been involved, or to advise the doctor, or to supervise the imperial history, most of them are private morality. Nengchen is not a sage, and a sage may not be a sage, but Dacheng pursues the integration of a sage and a sage. In the past, there were many rumors of private morality, but there were not many well-documented rumors, and there were not so many good people who specifically investigated this kind of thing. Since there is no certificate and no evidence, the people who supervise the imperial history are also happy to relax, and everyone has turned a blind eye.

However, since Zhang Hong's case and Qin Shuyun set off a storm, there have been more well-documented rumors. Seeing that the subordinate province was receiving merit, Yu Shitai was also forced to be unable to slack off, and conscientiously exercised the power of supervision. All of a sudden, from the courtiers to the local officials, everyone was in danger, and they were not far from the road.

Since Sima Xunian said "wait a little longer" on that day, Sima Yang has already understood Sima Xunian's thoughts, and only more important ministers of the imperial court hate the Jiaofang Division that can shake the Holy Lord and implement changes. But Sima Yang only knew one thing, not the other. Sima Xunian not only wanted to be excited, but also wanted Prince Ning's camp to pay for his quick success.

Sima Xunian was drinking tea and reading books in the mansion, and his subordinates informed Sima You of his visit. He smiled and passed him in.

Not long after the guest and host sat down, Sima You spoke, "Lord Sima, I'm afraid it's the right time now, right?" ”

"Looks like you can't sit still."

"No, now everyone in the court is in danger, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, all the horses are together, I am afraid that it will be a long-term solution."

"Then please ask Lord Sima Yang to choose the opportunity to make suggestions."

After Sima You left, Sima Yang did not speak in the court for several days.

Sima Tao was over 60 years old, and the number of resignations on the grounds of physical discomfort gradually increased, sometimes not unwell, but just lack of energy and fatigue. The emperor owes peace, and the royal family should have entered the palace to greet and serve, but if the emperor is tired, it is inappropriate to enter the palace, so the serious greeting and service is arranged by the Zongzheng Temple.

Soon, Sima Tao was in poor health and quit the court, and Sima Yang entered the palace to face the saint on the grounds of greetings.

After learning the news from Sima Youna, Sima Xunian arranged for Yiming to prepare, and if the saint did not have a new will, he would immediately take the head of the Chang'an Sect to Liaodong County.

Three days later, the emperor came to court. The government hall is the same as ever.

After the hundred officials finished the performance, Sima Yang threw out the issue, the Ministry of Rites did not strictly control the Jiaofang Division, the department indulged in lust, obscenity, and the music in the department, which was originally a criminal official's dependent, analogous to a criminal, not only did not think about his own faults, but also arrogant and lascivious, instigated hundreds of officials, and waited for an opportunity to steal court secrets from the hundred officials, in an attempt to subvert the dynasty.

Shen Guangfeng then seconded the proposal, listing a number of cases recently reviewed by Dali Temple, many witnesses and testimonies are from the Jiaofang Division. In addition, because of the crime did not go to the Department of Education, the criminal department arrested and handed over to the Ministry of Rites, the criminal department recorded one by one, but the Ministry of Rites neglected the management of the music book, and there were many people who died and disappeared for no reason, suspecting that there was a reason for it, and some people even bypassed the amnesty and privately took the music books as their own and gave them to each other.

Subsequently, Sima Xunian and Yang Zheng took the lead, and a group of officials seconded the proposal.

Sima Tao had long heard of the current situation of the Teaching Workshop Division, in fact, the chaos of the Teaching Workshop Division was not a matter of one or two years, so he thought it was true, and said, "At the beginning of the establishment of the Teaching Workshop Division, the purpose was to discipline and educate the relatives of the prisoners, teaching poetry, writing, etiquette and music. ”

Sima Xunian then went to the stage, requesting that the teaching department be restored to its own post and returned to the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department.

Shen Guangfeng made a kneeling plea and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of jurisdiction.

Sima Yang didn't expect Sima Xunian to do this, which was quite unexpected, but the Ministry of Rites had been controlled by Qin Tianlin, and Shen Guangfeng still owed himself a favor, and it was better to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department than to stay in the Ministry of Rites, because no objections were raised.

Qin Tianlin hurriedly objected, the reason was that the relatives of the criminal officials were not criminals, but were only implicated, and should not be punished as criminals, and in any case, it was improper to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department. Moreover, the teaching of poetry, writing, etiquette and music, which should have been the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, was assigned to the Criminal Department and lost its significance in discipline and education.

Sima Tao saw that the ministers were in a scuffle, and suddenly stopped, and the court was silent. After a while, Sima Tao made up his mind and ordered the Jiaofang Division to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department, and the daily management of the yamen was upgraded from the current state department to the state department, and the teaching and learning responsibilities were assumed by the Honglu Temple of Shangshu Province. The Criminal Department handled the handover affairs, counted the registered personnel, and re-rectified unhealthy tendencies.

The separation of the Department of Education and the Ministry of Rites has become a reality. Honglu Temple cooperates with the Ministry of Rites to handle the ceremonial affairs such as the pilgrimage of foreign guests, the tribute of the feudal domains, and the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials, but it is not directly under the management of the Ministry of Rites, but an independent affairs yamen of Shangshu Province. In fact, the nine temples and five supervisors of Shangshu Province are all affairs yamen, and all the things they are in charge of are in cooperation with the six departments, but they are not under the direct management of the six departments. At the beginning of the Dacheng state, when the left and right servants were set up as the deputy of Shangshu Ling in Shangshu Province, the unwritten custom of the left servant shooting assistant management of the six departments and the right servant shooting assistant management of the nine temples and five prisons had been formed.

Sima Xunian has gradually taken control of Shangshu Province, needless to say the five prisons of the Nine Temples, at present, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War are all his spheres of influence, and Qin Tianlin struggled for so long to take the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, the officials above the third rank are appointed by the emperor, and the emperor cannot move without nodding, so although Qin Tianlin and Prince Ning have mastered the position of Shangshu Ling and Shangshu's left servant, the power in their hands is equivalent to being hollowed out, and the actual power of Shangshu Province is basically in the hands of Sima Xunian.

If Qin Tianlin hadn't set off this trend of picketing the mistakes of hundreds of officials, he would still be able to control the Thirteen Prefectures Teaching Division, and now he has even lost the jurisdiction of the Teaching Division. After the Jiaofang Division was upgraded to the direct management of the state department, the ability of court officials to meddle in its affairs was limited, after all, the state department assassin Shi was a feudal official, how could it be so easy to move? It is much more difficult to settle than the previous county guard, and it is simply a loss to the lady and the army.

The direction of the wind in the inner court of the palace seems to have changed slightly. According to the laws of Dacheng, the prince who has a fief can welcome his biological mother or adoptive mother to the fief to support him for the rest of his life after the emperor has been a hundred years old. Qin Guifei has no male heirs, and she has no intention of the court, so she has never interfered in the government affairs, if the only thing to fight for is to fight for the fief for Prince Ning Sima Xiu, with the origin and favor of Sima Xiu's biological mother, it is impossible to have a fief. His brother Qin Tianlin, after obtaining the high position of the province, has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not care much about the political disputes of the court, nor is he the main minister of the court. Therefore, Sima Tao has always respected Qin Guifei, coupled with the deep emotional foundation of the two when they were young, he was very kind to her, and he did not hesitate to reward the Qin family, so the Fufeng Qin family became the new gate lord clan of Dacheng Kingdom.

The situation is very different from the past. Sima Tao brought Qin Tianlin into Shangshu Province, the purpose was to let him contain Sima Yang, and he didn't want him to change his indifferent style after he entered Shangshu Province, not trying to help Sheji, but blindly unreasonable provocations, and repeatedly exposing the shortcomings of the imperial court, not only shaking the dynasty, but also making the emperor lose face, Sima Tao was very unhappy in his heart, and naturally he was disgusted with Qin Guifei.

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and Sima Tao, as in previous years, went to Chaolan Villa in the southern suburbs to start a summer vacation that lasted for more than a month. According to the usual practice, when the emperor went to the other garden to escape the summer, he needed to set up a temporary supervisor to temporarily supervise the dynasty, and if it was not a war turmoil, the general political affairs should be temporarily handled by the supervisor and report to the emperor regularly.

The cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty all believe that the post of supervising the country belongs to Prince Ning, but Sima Tao gave the post of supervising the country to Sima Yang for some reason, and the court was shocked. As soon as the weather vane came out, Prince Ning's position was unstable, which became a tacit fact in the court.

At this time, the news that the emperor favored a palace maid and was named a talented person. Dacheng national regulations, the emperor's harem is divided into queens, imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, talents, lovers, and ten women. Except for the wives and concubines who have been married before the emperor ascends the throne, they can not start from the collection of women, and the rest of the concubines will be sealed from the collection of women. After Sima Tao ascended the throne, he has always been self-denying, diligent in government, and in terms of family affairs, he has never exceeded the rules of his ancestors.

Shangshu's right servant shoots the mansion

Sima Xunian played chess with Shen Jiyue in the backyard, Shen Jiyue liked the water pavilion built by the lake, so Sima Xunian accompanied her to read books and play chess in the water pavilion when she had nothing to do.

The chess game became more and more unfavorable to Sima Xunian, and his face became more and more gloomy, but Mingxin walked in and reported, "My lord, Lord Sima You is here, drinking tea in the vestibule study and waiting for you." ”

The thought that had just been thought of was interrupted again...... He threw in the towel and didn't want to struggle.

"Why are you so impatient?" Shen Jiyue sighed and shook her head.

"Madame's chess skills are outstanding, not comparable to ordinary people like me." He never hesitated to admit it.

"Also, why don't you let me see Sima You?" Usually, there are clan relatives or officials who are familiar with each other to visit, and if necessary, Sima Xunian will invite Shen Jiyue to have tea together, but Sima You is not included.

"Madame wants to see him?" Sima Xunian raised his eyebrows.

"Master Sima You can be regarded as the benefactor of the Shen family, and he has always taken good care of my father and brother, I think I should thank him."

"Hmm......" Sima Xunian pondered for a while, "Okay, let's go out together." With that, he reached over and took Shen Jiyue's hand and walked out of the vestibule.

Sima You saw that Shen Jiyue also came out, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the door of the study to greet him.

"Sima You has seen Mrs. Sima."

Sima Xunian suddenly said angrily, "Pay attention to your wording. ”

Shen Jiyue smiled, and also returned the salute to Sima You, and the three of them sat down separately.
