Section 37 Falling Phoenix (1)
The rhythm in the Mingtang Palace changed for a while, and the sudden appearance of the Tianwei Army lieutenant made everyone start to think more deeply.
It seems that Bai Lotian was instructed by someone, and the person who instructed him was the emperor.
For the first time, the emperor put on his attitude in the court, and there was the most powerful endorsement behind this attitude, which made the emperor's attitude very weighty.
Many people have begun to consider whether Bai Letian's move today is the beginning of the emperor's recapture of power from the hands of the Hou Party, and what kind of benefits they can gain once this beginning starts.
"Mr. Xiaobai, it seems that he can't make up for it?" Cheng Qili looked at the ministers on the left and right with amusement, he had waited for this day for too long.
When Yu Fuguo's shadow shrouded Bai Yujing, everyone's brilliance was suppressed by this shadow, and even Cheng Qili could only stand aside and obey his call with fear.
Now Cheng Qili can finally fulfill his long-cherished wish to represent the God Emperor to judge the demon woman behind the bead curtain, but he knows that this has to be done slowly, step by step, just like what he and the emperor discussed in the Wuying Palace.
"Lieutenant Cheng, Bai Letian is separated from flesh and blood, and it should be derogatory. "The first to stand up was Jingzhao Yin Cui Qi.
Cheng Qili glanced at Cui Qi, and then looked past him behind the bead curtain.
"Oh, the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. The wildfire blows inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Cheng Qili sighed: "I heard that even the gangsters in Bai Yujing love Bai Buque's poems, and I heard that the tattoos are all over the body, and the chest tattoos are oblique to the front of the moon, and they sit all night long." There is a little joy and hatred on the buttocks, and every year is in this night. ”
"Such a good person, how does Cui Jingzhao think it should fall?"
"If you are dismissed from the official position, you will never be hired. ”
"But what did he say about the Shengshangyuan service," Cheng Qili sneered, "What does Cui Jingzhao think?"
"Your Majesty is still young, it is still not suitable for Yuan to serve, the ancients are twenty crowns......"
"Lao Cui, you have overstepped your duties, and it is not up to you to say whether you are in service or not. Cheng Qili said with a smile: "I heard that Hebei Boling is the best scenery, Lao Cui, you might as well go home and have a look." ”
Facing Cheng Qili's hideous eyes, Cui Qi closed his mouth in humiliation, his eyes glanced left and right, hoping that someone would stand up and kill the eunuch's sharpness.
"My Privy Council lacks a verdict, I don't know if Han Xiang is willing to cut his love?" Cheng Qili asked Han Gang, the right supplement is the Taiwan provincial official of Zhongshu Province, and Han Gang is Bai Letian's top boss, and if he wants to transfer this Taiwan provincial official from the foreign dynasty to the Privy Council of the Inner Court, he naturally has to ask Han Gang's opinion.
Zhongshu Ling Hehe smiled and said nothing, Cheng Qili came prepared, obviously the emperor in the palace wanted to protect Bai Lotian no matter what. It seems that he has to choose a side between the young dragon and the old phoenix.
"Even if Lieutenant Cheng Aicai wants to take care of Bai Letian, his subordinates will refuse. Wen Yuanheng stood up and said: "The Privy Council is in charge of the military, but the positions inside are all filled by internal servants, and there is no precedent for foreign officials to join the army. ”
When you are an official, you have an official body, a rank and a title. For example, Han Gang, the Zhongshu Order, although he has a large list of titles, his position is the Zhongshu Order, and the grade is the third grade of the Zhongshu Order, and Bai Letian is the right supplement of the Zhongshu Province.
Since the establishment of the Privy Council, its main responsibility has been to oversee all matters relating to the central forces, mainly the Shence Army and the Tianwei Army, including military fields, armor and weapons, as well as the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of officers. The main duties of the Privy Council are held by the father-in-law, who is known to be a special kind of civil servant, whose rank is linked to that of the Ministry of the Interior.
Therefore, if Bai Lotian is transferred from the Ministry of Books to the Privy Council, there will be a very embarrassing thing. In the words of Li Xu's time, there was no preparation for him.
What's more, it always feels strange to let a well-known scribe go to the Privy Council to mingle with his father-in-law.
"Then wouldn't it be good for me to have the grade of multiple judgments in the Privy Council?" Cheng Qili ignored Wen Yuanheng's objection: "How many grades is the right supplement?"
Yaque was silent in the Mingtang Palace, this kind of words are not something that anyone dares to answer.
"Returning to Lieutenant, the right supplement is from the seventh grade. A young official dressed in green clothes came out of the court, and he struggled to pinch the wat board with his hand so that his trembling excitement would not be revealed.
People have to take their destiny into their own hands.
After meeting Bai Letian, drinking two cups of thin wine and eating his wife's fried side dishes, he couldn't hold back his mood, and after thinking about it carefully, he went to the outer house of Chen Chaoen, the minister of Zhiqing Liang Palace, overnight.
After seeing Chen Chaoen's housekeeper, he didn't say much, and the other party didn't ask much. After understanding that he had something important to contact the emperor. Chen Chaoen's housekeeper asked him to write down the situation on a piece of paper, then put it in a letter, sealed it with wax, and sent it to the palace overnight.
Li Xu was woken up by Chen Chaoen in his sleep, he took the unopened letter from Chen Chaoen's hand, read it carefully, and paced in the hall for a while.
Then Li Xu wrote three letters, and stamped his only seal on the letter, a small white marble square seal engraved with the four seals of the emperor's treasure, and then he went to find Cheng Qili.
Fortunately, because there have been a lot of things recently, Cheng Qili handled the official affairs of the Privy Council until late, and rested in the Wuying Hall that night.
And then there is this scene today.
"From the seventh grade," Cheng Qili said to Han Gang: "Since the general led the army north, the affairs of the Privy Council are complicated, and I want to select a few shrewd and capable people from the outer court to help the Privy Council." ”
"My Privy Council lacks a few judgments, and the grade is set at six grades, I don't know what Han Xiang thinks?"
Cheng Qili stared at Han Gang, although the emperor assured him that Han Gang would be on the emperor's side this time, Cheng Qili still couldn't guess what the old fox was thinking.
"If it is unprecedented, the province will definitely refute it. Wen Yuanheng objected.
In the Yu Dynasty's system of three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces were mutually restricted. There are always six ministries in Shangshu Province, which are the basis of all government affairs and the implementation units of policies.
And all the decrees of the imperial court must be drafted by the Zhongshu Province, and the Menxia Province is responsible for review. An edict, the province of Zhongshu does not propose, and the province does not verify it, it is a piece of waste paper and cannot become a formal policy.
In this way, a government system of mutual supervision is constituted. Even if Han Gang now uses the Zhongshu Order to take over Zhongshu Province, in the case of Shangshu Province, if Menxia Province uses the power of refutation to reject the policy of Zhongshu Province, Han Gang is theoretically at a loss.
This is also the reason why the Hou Party must keep Wen Yuanheng in Menxia Province as a permanent attendant of the Zuo Scattered Cavalry, and it is also the reason why they were ready to use Wen Meiren as an opportunity to appoint Wen Min as a servant.
Menxia Province is the last post of the central link, and if Menxia Province is controlled, then all edicts can only be implemented with the consent of the Hou Party. Holding the province of Menxia is stuck in the neck of the regime.
"I think it's good. Han Gang said with a smile: "The old man wants to see what talents can enter the eyes of the saints." ”
Saint, these two words shocked the ears of the Queen Mother like thunder, and for a while, she couldn't sit steadily on the dragon chair, only to feel that the sky was spinning.
That little maid actually hooked up with Han Gang, an old thief, did this old thief forget the support and rain and dew of the Holy Queen back then?
She hurriedly looked for Wen Minxing's figure, hoping that this pillar of the Houdang could stand up for her to block the waves set off by the emperor in the foreign court.
