Chapter 315 sneer.

Good news came from the delivery room: I got a promotion.

The governor of road construction is the fourth rank, and the Shao Zhanshi is the fourth rank. His primary position is Shao Zhanshi, and his part-time position is the governor.

From this it can be seen that this child is still a twin.

However, the road construction governor always sounded unpleasant and unimpressive.

So after thanking him, Xia Yuan raised this question, "Your Majesty, do you feel that this road construction governor does not have the dignity of the court?"

"Have it?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and found that it really didn't sound very good. "Then let's call him the Governor of Land Transport, corresponding to the Governor of Water Transport."

Land Governor?

Governor Lulu.

This sounds like he is worse than a road construction governor, like an almond milk seller.

"That's it. I will first promote you to the post of Shao Zhanshi. The land governor will wait until the court meeting on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month and the road construction project will be implemented. Only then can the post of land governor be established."

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the surrounding guards again, "You all should stay away."

The guards didn't know why, but they still retreated obediently.

After exiting more than ten meters away, Emperor Hongzhi lowered his voice and asked another question, "How are you doing in prison these days? Are those prisoners likely to be candidates for this reform?"

"I don't dare to say anything too absolute, but if we let them implement the reform, they will be able to move forward without hesitation."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but feel relieved, "That's good, and it's not in vain that I've had such a bad year."

Seeing that he had just been promoted, Xia Yuan said with great emotion: "The king is worried about the humiliation of the minister. Seeing that your majesty is so upset, I feel extremely uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang was startled for a moment, then his lips wriggled a few times and said nothing.

This silent and tactful look made Xia Yuan greatly hurt. Can they still play happily together?

"Your Majesty, I feel really sad."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Once the Lantern Festival is over and the court meeting on the 16th day of the first lunar month, I will start discussing the matter of road construction."

"Is there going to be a court meeting?"

Xia Yuan hesitated. Is the emperor afraid that he is drifting?

The current state affairs of the Ming Dynasty are governed by the emperor and three ministers in the cabinet. The princes of the six ministries first held a small meeting in private.

Even if the political opinions are different, the dispute should be put aside, and then we can discuss it in private, try to reach a situation that satisfies both parties, and finally go through the motions in the court.

This makes it easy to implement.

"Your Majesty, why don't you talk to the ministers in the Sixth Cabinet first?"

"No need, I have my own thoughts on this matter."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed with unpredictable light, and his face seemed to have fighting spirit.

A few short days passed by in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. The court, which had been suspended for half a month, finally resumed operation. In front of Fengtian Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials stood in two rows.

The weather was freezing and freezing. Xia Yuan stood in the queue with his hands folded and his neck drawn back. This was the first court meeting in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi's reign.

The storm is already brewing in the silence.

Unfortunately, Xia Yuan was also invited to participate in this court meeting.

Before dawn, Xiao Jing, who was standing in front of the gold-painted dragon chair, took two steps forward and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Now that we are in charge of the government, if the emperor says: Dear sirs, can you please tell me what to do!"

As soon as this statement was made, it also heralded the official start of the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

The first one to stand up was not the sixth or seventh grade censors, but the right deputy censor.

I saw this third-grade official lifting up his robes and kneeling on the ground without hesitation, "Your Majesty, more than a month ago, hundreds of prisoners made a fuss in Taicang, beat Shangguan, and then roared about the palace ban and disturbed the emperor.

This caused His Majesty Long Yan to become furious, which is the fault of the ministers.

Now these wild and rebellious people have been in jail for more than a month, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate would like to ask Your Majesty, when will these criminals be arraigned?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two more senior officials stood up. They were the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. There was no doubt that they were both senior officials in the Sanfa Department.

The two of them also knelt down together: "Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment also wants to ask Your Majesty, when will these treasonous and unruly people be brought to trial?"

More than a month has passed before the incident broke out. Emperor Hongzhi was not surprised at all by this, because these ministers were waiting for the memorials from various provinces, states and counties to be delivered, and they took advantage of this moment of anger to start a joint attack

.

"I have put these people in the imperial prison. How to interrogate them and how to convict them. Since I have the royal guards to supervise them, I don't need you to worry about them."

The deputy capital censor who spoke first kowtowed and said: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, how is the handling of this case by the Jinyi Guards so far?"

Zhu Youtang's expression did not change, he just said in a deep voice: "Why, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is now even involved in the affairs of the Jin Yiwei?"

"I don't dare." Peng Suqing responded loudly, then fell to the ground and continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to comment on this matter, but the crimes of these criminals are unparalleled by any previous criminals, even the "Da Ming Law"

There is no comparison in any provision.

After this incident spread throughout the country, all the governors, governors, transfer envoys, and governors of the two capitals and thirteen provinces; down to the provinces, states, roads, and counties. Many prefects, prefects, and county magistrates were all filled with righteous indignation!

"

"The imperial court has now received memorials from officials at all levels in the world, and they have all rebuked these hundreds of officials for their crimes: beating officials, shouting about palace bans, being crazy, hiding evil intentions, and inviting people to buy their names. Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. This is

If the matter is not supervised and convicted as soon as possible, it may be difficult to convince the world."

Seeing that the time was ripe, many big bosses knelt down one after another, kowtowed and started to chant: "I am waiting for Fu Wei to start the memorial. I hope that your Majesty will convict these hundreds of criminals as soon as possible, so as to appease the anger of the world."

Letting a third-grade deputy capital envoy to wear strong armor and charge into battle shows that these important ministers attach great importance to this matter.

In other words, there is no one available for these important ministers. Many of the low-level officials who usually charge into battle have been imprisoned in the imperial prison. Most of the remaining people have friendships with these unlucky people. After all, these hundreds of prisoners are involved.

All yamen in the capital.

Therefore, these low-level officials did not want to come forward because they cared about their former colleagues.

As for whether this is the case and what the reason is, who knows.

Xia Yuan can't guess yet, but he prefers the former.

If the superiors do not seek officials, the subordinates may not be able to govern; if the inferiors do not seek superiors, they will not be able to advance; if ministers do not seek officials, enemies should not leave. Officials do not have constant friends, and misfortune will only exist. The situation is determined by the situation, and a wise man should not be lazy.

There is no friendship in officialdom, or there may be, but very little.

Therefore, sending a third-grade official to charge into the battle was most likely to show the emperor how seriously they took this matter, in order to force the emperor to express his stance.

Xia Yuan looked at the Fengtian Gate. It was still dark and red lanterns were lit around it.

Against the background of these rays of light, the figure sitting on the dragon chair is a bit hazy, and it is hard to see clearly.

Emperor Hongzhi has yet to express his position.

one two three four

Xia Yuan counted silently in his heart, and when he reached ten, he suddenly grinned and laughed.

"laugh"
