Chapter 21: The Imperial Meeting

Today's pilgrimage will disperse very early, but many experienced old fritters know that this is not because there are few things today, on the contrary, something big may have happened!

Some of the fifth- and sixth-grade Beijing officials who had just come down to the court and were about to go home looked at a sedan chair with a black unicorn printed on the top of the Suzaku Gate, and muttered in their hearts.

Only the Guogong level in the capital can print the unicorn on the sedan chair, and there are nine sedan chairs parked outside the Suzaku Gate, which means that the nine Guogongs who are still in the capital are here!!

The Great Jin Dynasty has a large court meeting and a small court meeting, the big court will generally be more than seven Beijing officials are eligible to participate, and the small court will need to start from the fourth grade, under normal circumstances, two large court meetings a month and five small court meetings, will not overlap.

Not only is it overlapping today, but even several Guogongs who haven't shown up for a long time are in place, I'm afraid something big has happened!

Some new officials who are not very sensible are secretly discussing energetically, but they don't know that the palace guards standing in the dark have used pen and paper to remember what they say clearly.....

About half an hour later, after the officials below the fourth rank exited, the remaining officials of the capital and the various noble generals who had just arrived gathered together, and the door of the court meeting was closed again!

The lineup of the court meeting was gorgeous, so that the historians who recorded the court meeting were cautious, until the establishment of the new dynasty, most of the nine princes who stayed in the capital rarely participated in the court meeting, at least the situation of the nine members of the court was extremely rare, and the last time was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was established!

The nine princes are dressed in unicorn black robes, except for the upstart Song Guogong Liu Yu, the remaining eight are all bloodline families, and many people also know that these eight families are all big families that have lasted for thousands of years.

"Liu Qing, let's talk about it......" The emperor on the dragon chair closed his eyes and recuperated, his tone was light, but the entire court could feel that this majesty was not in a very good mood.

"Yes!" Liu Yu saluted first, and then turned around and briefly talked about the matter in Liuzhou.

Most of the civil and military forces of the Chaohui were shocked, whether it was the thousand-faced fox who killed Tanhua and infiltrated Wei Chi's house, or Mr. Liuzhou Painted Skin controlled the entire Liuzhou officialdom, it sounded too terrifying!

Most of the old people seem to be abrupt, and after more than 20 years of peace, many people have forgotten that this is a world of hidden horrors and demons.....

Countless people are glad that they are officials in the capital and have many guarantees, otherwise they are in other places, I am afraid that like their colleagues in Liuzhou, everyone has been made into puppets, and their parents, wives and children still don't know it.....

"Your Majesty!" An official dressed in a second-grade immortal crane red robe stepped forward and said: "Liuzhou is such a big event, Wei Chipeng has been in the city for five years and has no idea, so slack, he must be severely punished!" ”

The military attache sneered when they heard this, and at this time, those who could stay in the court were all bloodline families, and they turned their heads to look at the civilian group like a hungry wolf looking at a sheep, and all the civil officials were frightened by its momentum and fell to the ground!

The unbearable scene suddenly made the generals laugh, and a group of civil officials and masters were so angry that they blushed with shame.

Of course, there were also standing civil officials, at least Jiuqing and the major hall scholars were not intimidated by the momentum, and their eyes looked at the military attache with a cold light.

"Enough!" The emperor's face was dark, and he didn't forget to oppose each other when it was over!

"Your Majesty....." Among the nine great princes, a black-faced man with a beard on his face smiled, not caring about the emperor's gloomy face at all, and pointed to the official who spoke just now: "This old man is not a thing, the Wei Chi family sent the most potential descendants of the family to guard Jiangnan, and now the old grandmother of the family has been killed, and this old man has not forgotten to pour dirty water on others!" ”

The official secretary was indifferent: "You have received the title, you are retired with the country, and it is natural to do things for the court, but it is reasonable to do it well?" ”

"Huh....." Dahan sneered: "It's as if you civil officials don't receive money, according to what you say, then Jiangnan Xuezheng Mu Hongqing is in charge of Jiangnan affairs, he should be responsible, right?" ”

"That's it!" The emperor interrupted the dispute between the two, a little helpless: "I called you here today to solve the matter, not to argue about who should be responsible." ”

"The minister suggests that the officialdom of Liuzhou be completely cleaned!" A tall, thin and white middle-aged man stepped out, the man was handsome, and his physique was too unsociable compared to the generals with big shoulders and round waists around him, but all the generals shut up after he spoke, obviously with great prestige.

The emperor looked over with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Qin Guogong: Lu Ming!

Among the old subordinates who followed King Qin back then, he had the highest prestige, and it was also because of his prestige that after King Qin's death, most of the military generals who followed did not riot, and it was also because he had no intention of continuing to fight, so that the Xiao family could ..... ascend to the throne!

If you want to say who the royal family is most afraid of now, it is none other than the one in front of you, even as the founding emperor with the highest prestige, he has to be polite in the face of this one on weekdays, and he was even willing to treat him as a prince when he founded the country, but he was rejected by the other party.

This thousand-faced fox incident is indispensable to the handwriting of a certain big man in the capital, and if you want to say who has this energy, the person in front of you is very suspicious.

The emperor paused: "Purge? ”

"Yes......" Lu Ming, the Duke of Qin, saluted: "Although according to the words of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the puppet officials in Liuzhou have all appeared after the death of Mr. Painted Skin and have become puppets who cannot move, but the suspicion of other officials in Liuzhou cannot be ruled out. ”

"This ....." The emperor frowned, this action is too big, but the other party is right, such a thing happened, it is indeed necessary to clean up this place in Liuzhou, and the Jiangnan region may have to be strictly investigated.

There can be other things in Mr. Painted Skin, Jiangnan is a heavy place for the imperial court to pay taxes, and there can be no more mistakes!

"Qin Guogong said it simply!" The official department sneered: "Liuzhou is a large government directly under the central government, and it has jurisdiction over nineteen county seats, involving no less than three hundred officials, where can I find so many new officials for you?" ”

The civil officials nodded one after another, this country is newly established, the most lacking thing is the civil officials who can do things, there is a shortage of officials from all over the country, it is impossible to transfer out, Liuzhou is such a big pit, it is not enough to send those people from the Hanlin Academy together.....

Qin Guogong politely bowed to the official book, and then said, "Didn't Your Majesty just take a term of Enke?" Aren't there more than 300 jinshi waiting now? ”

"This ..... this is for the North....." The official department frowned: "Give it to Liuzhou, what should Yan Yun do?" ”

"The minister thinks that Yan Yun can let the old officials of the Northern Yan Kingdom take care of it first....." Lu Ming arched his hand again: "There are heavy troops stationed, and the vitality of the Yan Kingdom is greatly injured and there is no ability to invade it, so there is no need to worry about chaos for the time being, Your Majesty can send supervision officials to supervise the administrative attitude of those old officials of Northern Yan, if you do things effectively, my dynasty can also be generously accepted as a formal official, and it can also show my great temperament!" ”

The emperor raised his head slightly when he heard this: "What Lu Qing said is a method, but Liuzhou is a directly governed mansion, and the county commanders of the nineteen counties can entrust the new branch jinshi, what about the officials of the Liuzhou government?" ”

Other civil officials also nodded: "Yes, Liuzhou is also a six-grade official, and all roads and new schools are five-grade officials, can the new science and technology directly pull out the seedlings and help the arrangement?" ”

Lu Ming's face remained unchanged, and he still said in a faint tone: "Each road platform can be filled by officials from other places promoted by the Ministry of Officials at its discretion, and Xuezheng Xiaguan suggests that two warlock-born scholars go, and I will release the warlocks to the outside world are all Xuezheng, this is because the warlocks are rare and not enough, and the second is because the warlocks need to observe whether they are stable, and they are too young to be easily released from the capital." ”

"But now that the situation in Liuzhou is special, and the incident of Mr. Painted Skin has just been experienced, Chen feels that there must still be hidden sneaks in that place that have not been cleared, and I am afraid that Mu Hongqing, the Jiangnan Xuezheng and some of his apprentices, will not be able to cope with it."

The emperor thought for a while when he heard this, and then nodded slightly: "Lu Qing has made good arrangements, Zheng Yun!" ”

Then he looked at the official book: "The chief official of Liuzhou, does Yan Aiqing have a recommendation?" ”

The official department Shangshu suddenly looked bitter, now the lack of people in various parts of the court has made him anxious, and he has been rejected several times to expand the jinshi, where is there any suitable candidate to transfer over?

"Why don't you ..... let the new department be the champion?"

"Inappropriate ....." Before the emperor could speak, Liu Yu, the Duke of Song, took the lead in shaking his head: "Even if the new champion has been studying in Hanlin for two years, he will have a maximum of six grades when he is released, and this rule cannot be broken....."

Although Liu Yu is the duke of the country, he can be regarded as a person from Wenchen's side, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiuqing, including the official department, did not refute it.

"There is a candidate for ..... minister" Lu Ming raised his head and smiled.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at the other party with interest: "It's the first time I've heard Aiqing recommend officials, let's hear about it?" ”

"The minister watched Shaoqing Wang Ye's recital, and the new science and technology scholar named Chen Qing seemed to have made a lot of contributions in this incident?"

"Chen Qing?" The emperor and other ministers were stunned for a moment, Wang Ye's recital said that this person, this time Wang Ye was able to get out of trouble seems to be thanks to this person.

"This ......" Liu Yu frowned: "Wang Ye is indeed praised by him, at the juncture of the inferior gangster's troubles, this is Chen Qing's new science and technology jinshi is clever, it is indeed extraordinary, but it is still ..... directly the head of any government."

"Your Majesty....." Lu Ming smiled and said, "Dare to ask if the prince's selection of concubines is as usual?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell silent, but I didn't expect this most sensitive matter to be mentioned by Qin Guogong, who has always been conservative and silent.

Now the thousand-faced fox has not yet been found, but His Majesty's will has been declared, whether to give priority to national insurance or priority to the monarch without jokes, is indeed a sensitive and dilemma.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "What does Lu Qing mean?" ”

Lu Ming arched his hand: "In the twists and turns of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, the Jinshi named Chen Qing is not affected by the memory of the thousand-faced fox, if this person can find the thousand-faced fox, it will be a great achievement, plus the credit made in the Liuzhou incident, and the promotion of its five grades, it is barely reasonable." ”

"Chen Qing ....." The emperor looked at Qin Guogong's indifferent smiling face, and then looked at several other Guogongs who couldn't see the clue on the surface, and then laughed as well: "Okay, then according to what Qing said!" ”
