Chapter five hundred and seventeen: raccoon dog on a hill
Before Zhou Sili finished his words, Xie Qian interrupted him and said, "It's not your fault, but everyone is negligent. From now on, we will lay off a group of foolish old officials. You can do this. Anyone who is indifferent and not awake enough will be sent out. The cabinet should not be mediocre. After drafting the list, report it to Mr. Liu and send another copy to me." As he said that, he took a pen and began to draft a memorial with a memorial.
"Yes, yes, students will start doing it now."
Zhou Sili couldn't help but be shocked, and felt cold and sweating profusely.
Anything that happens in the cabinet can be known to everyone. Jiao Fang doesn't care about this and still sits calmly and calmly in the public room, as if he doesn't care about Zhang Shuli's rescind. He still concentrates on watching the memorial in his hand. He picks up a memorial, frowns slightly, and then gets up to Liu Jian's public room, outside: "Is Mr. Liu there?"
Liu Jian inside heard a voice: "What's wrong with Mr. Jiao?"
Jiao Fang lifted the curtain and went in. Liu Jian was drinking tea slowly. He smiled and said, "There is a memorial here, which is related to the border troops in Shanhaiguan's money for the money. It is said that the court has not paid the full amount of money for half a year."
Liu Jian just took the memorial, took a look, and then said lightly: "It is obviously not the soldiers, but the officials. For such a thing, we can first treat a few military officers and comfort the rest of the soldiers."
Jiao Fang said, "Then, I will follow what Mr. Liu said?"
Liu Jianhe nodded.
Then Jiao Fang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, Your Majesty's illness..."
Liu Jian looked disrespectful: "Your Majesty is auspicious person, and he will probably recover soon."
Jiao Fang hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it, but..."
Liu Jian understood that Jiao Fang was obviously here to test.
Liu Jian smiled, stroked his beard, but slowly said: "Mr. Jiao, I am so angry that the Censorate is in trouble. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple can't stand it anymore. They all say that we must serve as a warning. You also know that we are at the center, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are the prime minister. I can trust the character of the cabinet ministers, but because I am busy with official duties, I neglected to discipline my children in the end, which is a big deal. This is not a good thing. To be honest, if the children are domineering and illegal, what will the ignorant people in the market think? If so, how will the cabinet convince the public in the future? How will Jiao view this matter?"
After saying that, Liu Jian looked at Jiao Fang with a smile.
Jiao Fang was suddenly furious. He suddenly realized that Liu Jian had participated in Xie Qian's counterattack. He originally thought that this mature and polite chief minister would choose to adhere to neutrality. At most, he would just be slightly biased towards Xie Qian. Now it seems that he is clearly a feather.
However, Jiao Fang still kept a smile on her face and said modestly: "Oh... the dog son is ruthless, which makes me regret it. Since I have no choice but to teach my son, please ask Mr. Liu to discipline him, and the dog son will entrust him to Mr. Liu."
His attitude was to tell Liu Jian that my son was dead or alive, and I don’t care. If you want to kill him, you will be punished, but do you dare to kill him?
Then Jiao Fang said, "It's just that what I worry most is that His Majesty is blinded by the traitor. A little Hanlin dares to make medicine at will and practice this alchemy technique. This is not only hindering, but also a misleading country and people. I will ask the court to discuss this matter tomorrow. This matter is of great importance and cannot be sloppy."
Liu Jian lowered his eyes, looked indifferent to the matter, and said lightly: "Oh, okay, the court will discuss it tomorrow."
Since he knew Liu Jian's position, Jiao Fang didn't say anything else. He bowed to Liu Jian and said goodbye.

Ye Chunqiu lived in the waiting room that night. When the hour of Mao was not here, he stood up consciously. He had not practiced swords in the palace these days, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But... today is the monthly court discussion.
The so-called court meeting is a court meeting that is familiar to later generations. According to the rules, it is a major discussion that officials above the fifth rank in the capital need to participate. As for other censors, academic officials or Hanlin, those who have already received six subjects must participate regardless of their grade.
In other words, in Baohe Hall today, almost all civil and military officials will arrive. During the Hongzhi period, such a court assembly was three times a month. Emperor Hongzhi was a very diligent emperor. He wished to discuss national affairs with his ministers at any time and was willing to listen to everyone's ideas. However, after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, he restored the old system and changed it to once a month. This... he often refused to participate, but regardless of whether the emperor participated or not, such matters were still carried out as scheduled. Generally, the cabinet ministers presided over, and then the civil and military officials expressed their opinions. If it was a small matter, the cabinet ministers decided on the spot. If it was a major matter that was difficult to decide, he ordered people to write down the record of the court discussion and present it to the palace for the emperor to make a judgment.
In the past few days, after falling into a scorching fall, the court and the country seemed surprisingly calm inside and outside. Ye Chunqiu did not believe that this calm could be maintained. If nothing unexpected happens, today is the time to tear apart.
He cheered up because he was on duty in the palace, so the palace gate was not open now and there was still a lot of time to prepare.
What will happen next?
Ye Chunqiu could not predict that if he was guilty, it would be a crime of death and would also cause harm to his family.
This is a battle of life and death, and he couldn't help but take it lightly.
Under the hazy weather, it drizzled in the sky. Ye Chunqiu went to the corridor alone. Through the dim lantern light, he took out the letter in his arms to watch. The rain was like silk threads, with a little coolness, and these beautiful words were enough to warm Ye Chunqiu's heart.
May you take care of it.
Ye Chunqiu raised his eyes and looked at the vague scenery in the haze, and couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Of course, you have to take care of yourself. It is precisely because I want to marry you and spend your life with you for a long time that I care more about myself.
The accumulated water dripping under the eaves fell down the glazed tiles, forming a small puddle in front of the Attendant Room. This was just the most remote corner of the palace. Even the floor tiles have been disrepaired for a long time. When they stepped on their feet, the unreliable bricks and stones made a creaking sound. Ye Chunqiu walked into the rain. The palace was not allowed to hold an umbrella or ride a sedan chair, so Ye Chunqiu could only walk in the rain.
The rain hit his face, making his face wet. The clean Qilin Suit was also soaked in the rain, and it looked a little embarrassed, but Ye Chunqiu still raised his head and chest out, heading towards the direction where the bells and drums rang.
