Chapter 2168 Self-confidence

The bells and drums of the Meridian Gate Tower were heard together, and the gate slowly opened. A eunuch on the city tower sang loudly: "The hour of Mao has arrived, please come to court!"

Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, had a smile on his lips, and he took the lead in walking towards the Meridian Gate, as if he had already taken everything into his hands.

Lin Qingran and Guo Pu exchanged glances, followed Xu Jie to the city gate, and went to participate in this morning court that had obviously been planned.

The vast majority of officials actually acted as foils for the morning court, and even had no right to speak in the hall. Under the supervision of the officials of the Honglu Temple, they walked through the huge square with a slight cold wind blowing towards them and came to the Golden Palace.

Because the sky outside has gradually become brighter and the gate of this hall is tall and large, the light here seems to be relatively sufficient.

Emperor Longqing was obviously a little later today than before, but his mental state had not improved. He still looked like he was yawning with obesity.

"I welcome the emperor, long live my emperor!" The officials knelt down and said in a regular manner when facing Emperor Longqing who appeared.

Longqing was already immune to Shan Hu Long Sui. He came here every day to deal with the emperor's responsibilities, but he was doing good deeds to let everyone get up.

Chen Hong had already won Longqing's trust. Facing the officials who stood up from the ground, he immediately shouted loudly: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

The officials in the hall looked at the five cabinet ministers in front, but Xu Jie looked at the four on the left with a faint look, and his meaning was self-evident.

Both Guo Pu and Li Chunfang were not people who liked to find trouble, but they silently turned their heads to look at Lin Weiran on the right. Lin Weiran didn't plan to do anything today, but turned their heads to look at the "Lao Wu" next to them.

Chen Yiqin was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years. He looked in his early fifties, with a sparse beard and a strong Sichuan accent.

He seemed to be prepared. Seeing that the four seniors in front of him had nothing to say, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Chun...Master Chen, please report!" Long Qing yawned and raised his hand in panic.

All the officials looked at Chen Yiqin, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, but they knew that Chen Yiqin had been in Prince Yu's Mansion for nine years and had a very good relationship with Longqing's teachers and students.

Chen Yiqin sent two memorials, and then said loudly to Longqing: "Emperor, this memorial "Ten Things to Be Careful" is divided into ambition, love the people, respect frugality, and employ people, and follow them, listen to words and take power. This memorial "Enering Practice" is based on the current problems, so please be careful in promoting them. Stick to the original intention, sympathize with the people and cultivate politics to respond to the laws of heaven, and eliminate the evils of the Ming Dynasty. This is the responsibility of the king!"

this……

When the officials in the hall heard Chen Yiqin's words, they couldn't help but stare at each other.

The previous "Ten Things to Be Careful" is quite tactful, while the subsequent "Learning for Practice" simply points to Longqing's non-revision of politics and urges him to fulfill his responsibilities as a king.

But these things are undoubtedly against the emperor's taboos. Even if the Ming Dynasty is not good now, even if the emperor is extremely lazy in politics now, you cannot point it out so bluntly.

well……

Lin Weiran saw this scene in his eyes, but couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.

He realized that Long Qing favored Gao Gong and ignored Chen Yiqin, but it was not without reason. Gao Gong was rough and meticulous in his work, but Chen Yiqin was too stubborn in his work.

Longqing seems to be humble in his teaching, but he is selfish and lazy in his heart. It is okay to let him come to the morning court every day. If he becomes a wise king, not to mention that he cannot make such a great sacrifice, Longqing actually has no ability to take power and govern.

"I... will see it well!" Long Qing took the two memorials from Chen Hong and responded with shameless attitude.

The officials below were all smart people. Zhang Shouzhi, the Minister of Works, immediately made a report and quickly exposed the unpleasant matter.

In fact, there are morning courts every day, but it is impossible that there will always be any major incidents, and it is more of arguing with each other.

Every official is bound to have a hometown complex. When disasters occur in his hometown, he will also choose to submit a memorial to request exemption of taxes or additional water conservancy projects for his hometown.

In fact, it is not a special thing to carry out disaster relief or build water conservancy projects. After all, these are measures that are beneficial to people's livelihood.

However, the Ming Dynasty finances are hungry everywhere. If the local disaster is not particularly serious, the court will not be able to allocate funds.

The right-senator of the Tongzheng Envoy, He Yongqing, wanted the court to allocate silver to clear the river on the grounds that there were many floods in his hometown. This plan was directly run away by officials from other factions.

When it was the turn of the Six-Cao Gate below to report the matter, Wang Zhi stood up from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei ministers and the ministers, Li Ke, have something to report to Wang Zhi!"

When the officials in the hall saw Wang Zhi standing up first, they suddenly felt vigilant and silently looked up at Xu Jie who was standing in front.

Wang Zhi was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing and from Xinzhou, Shanxi. Thanks to the relationship between Xu Jie and the Shanxi Gang, he stayed in the capital as a pedestrian, and now he has successfully become a minister of the Li Ke.

It is worth mentioning that the three of them have no subordinate relationships with the Li Ke Zuo and Li Ke You Zuo. The three of them actually check and balance each other, but the Li Ke Zuo is in charge of the "Secret Seal".

"Please report!" Long Qing always looked like he couldn't be interested in the government affairs. He couldn't help but yawn again, and then raised his hand lightly.

Wang Zhi took something out of his sleeve and then said righteously: "The court tried to execute the Illegal Mountain in Susong, which violated the ancestral teachings. Now I am granted the imperial edict. Please think twice before the emperor!"

As soon as this statement was made, the entire hall was immediately heard of, and the officials looked at Zhang Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, in disbelief. However, they never expected that Zhang Zhi would use the power of refuting to prevent the bad guys from being tried in Susong.

The so-called "returning the imperial edict" is a relatively polite statement, which is essentially a rejection of the emperor's will, and it is also a "refuting" originated from the Han Dynasty.

In the current system of fencing in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial edict issued in the name of the emperor was found to be inappropriate when the Six Corridors found any inappropriate examination, and they could be fencing and reported.

Wang Zhi, the chief minister of the Ministry of Lishui, now believes that "trial implementation of the unruly book in Susong" is contrary to the ancestral system, and it is indeed possible to return the edict and prevent this edict from being sent to Nanzhili.

Xu Jie, who had been silent, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile couldn't help but hold a smile on his lips. Although Lin Shiran had a deep plan for the troublemaker's affairs this time, he could not sit still and wait for death.

Guo Pu originally guessed that the troublemaker's affairs would not go so smoothly, but when he saw Wang Zhi jump out to refute, he looked at Lin Weiran worriedly.
