Chapter 459 A memorial makes waves

When Zhu Ping'an held a rod and caught a big fish, the wind and rain fell in the capital for a day and gradually stopped. The wet fog filled the capital. After the rain, the trees, flowers and plants appeared in the fog, as if they were a fairyland. The Ming Dynasty was like a singing and dancing to peace.`

At this time, Zhu Ping'an's memorial to the Transportation Administration before leaving caused a lot of trouble.

At that time, Zhu Ping'an's memorials were not conspicuous among a bunch of memorials and praises. The Tongzhengsi Left and Right Senate, who was responsible for the preliminary review of the memorials, was already numb. The memorials that were opened were all praised, and there was nothing worth noting. More than ten memorials were opened in this pile of memorials and the right Senate did not open them one by one to verify them and review them.

The left and right senators are sorted according to the level of memorials, and then the memorials are arranged and handed over to Shangfeng for review according to the procedures. After being reviewed by Shangfeng, they are transferred to the cabinet.

There are thirty-eight memorials submitted this time, all of which are arranged in order according to the level.

"Hey, there is actually a memorial from a sixth-rank official here. Really, what are the fun of a small sixth-rank official?" After the left Senator of Tongzhengsi, the official position at the bottom is only a sixth-rank official. In addition to being surprised, there are more disdain and ridicule.

The smallest officials in the memorials I just reviewed were also fourth-rank officials. In the past, they were almost the same. Now, when I suddenly saw Zhu Ping'an's memorial from the sixth-rank official, I couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. 8 Novels`

During festivals, according to the practice, you sixth and seventh rank sesame officials will be fine.

Why are you joining in the fun now? It's really true, and I don't think about my identity.

"I'm a sharp-headed person and want to take advantage of the situation." The Right Senator of Tongmasatsu also shook his head, with a mocking expression on his face. "It seems that every year there are one or two young men who want to get to the top, but they don't know that such a memorial will go to the sea. At most, it's just a word "read". After all, it's still a stone sank to the sea."

For the Senate, there are almost a few such small officials every year, and they are written to praise merits and auspiciousness frequently. I hope they can be appreciated and valued by the emperor. However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. This kind of small officials' memorials are gone, and they are much bigger than your official position. The memorials of such small officials are like a drop of water falling into the sea, and are sent to the cabinet as a word. The emperor also reads such memorials without reading them.

There are young people with beautiful dreams, but never one of them has been promoted because of this. They are always flowers in the moonlight in the well.

"Hey, Zhu Ping'an? This name seems to be familiar."

"The official we saw was in the sea of ​​names. Maybe someone who asked you to do so."

"Yes, don't care. Forget this kind of person, let him wake up after hitting the south wall." The left Senator shook his head and laughed, then handed over the memorial to the clerk beside him and ordered him to report the memorial to Tongzhengshi.

The Tongzheng Envoy is the highest executive officer of the Tongzheng Department. He is the third rank (in charge of accepting internal and external written memorials and commenting on the matter of refuting). When the memorial was submitted, the Tongzheng Envoy was working overtime to write Qing Ci, which was explained by Master Yan. He should write it before getting off work today and hand it over to Master Yan.

In addition, every time Emperor Jiajing was celebrating, there were a bunch of memorials and praises below, and there was nothing to pay attention to. Moreover, it was out of trust in the left and right senators below. After the officials below reviewed them, I didn’t have to worry. It was still important to the Qing Ci explained by Master Yan. So as soon as this batch of memorials was sent, the Tongzheng Envoy waved his hand and asked someone to register and send them to the cabinet for processing.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an's memorials were mixed with these memorials that praised merits, and were registered and sealed, and then sent directly to the cabinet.

The memorials are registered to prevent the powerful ministers from seizing memorials privately. This is a system established when the presidency of Xia Yan. All memorials submitted to the cabinet must be dealt with by cabinet officials, and they cannot be detained privately.

The unstable memorials of the Tongzheng Department caused a stir in the cabinet.

The cabinet was not just Yan Song and others, but also had some auxiliary officials. These memorials were first brought to the auxiliary officials.

The previous memorials were all memorials that praise merits. In the face of various memorials, when Zhu Ping'an's memorials, the officials in charge of checking were also the same as those in the Tongzheng Department. They smiled disdainfully, and the small officials also came to join in the fun.

"Oh, Zhu Ping'an, this is the top scholar this time, let's see how the top scholar praises merits." The official smiled and opened Zhu Ping'an's memorial.

Just after taking a look like this, the smile on the face of the responsible official disappeared and suddenly became very solemn.

"Mr. Dong, what's wrong with you?" Another official was a little curious.

The official surnamed Dong did not speak and passed the memorial to the curious official. After the official received the memorial, his face changed suddenly.

It’s nothing to impeach a hundred households, but it involves killing good people and taking credit! Moreover, the war involved was the Gengxu Incident. Last year’s war was a fresh scar of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a scar that made Emperor Jiajing lose all his face.

In addition, this war involves a lot of people.

The Gengxu Incident made the Ming Dynasty lose all its face. Finally, after the Altan soldiers withdrew, the local soldiers killed more than a hundred Altan soldiers, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to slightly save face.

At least that's what the government and the people think.

Moreover, the memorial for requesting merit for these generals who killed Altan's soldiers was personally approved by the cabinet assistant Yan Songyan. In addition, this matter also involved the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments. In my impression, it seems that a hundred households who made great contributions were promoted to several levels. Well, it would be the one who impeached them.

Although it is just impeachment of a hundred households, it involves a great deal, and this is a hot potato.

At this time, Lord Dong and his friends were full of great complaints about the officials of Tongzheng Department. What does Tongzheng Department do? How can such memorials be uploaded to the cabinet so quickly? No matter how hard they have to be suppressed. After the aftermath is handled, they will be uploaded to the cabinet. At least enough time must be left.

Verify, review, proofread, any excuse for you, Tongzheng Department, can be suppressed for ten days and half a month.

You are so lucky. You will pass the memorial from the day before yesterday!

There was no way, the matter was urgent, so Lord Dong and the others dared not delay. They specially selected Zhu Ping'an's memorial with fear and presented it to the house where the cabinet ministers were.

While waiting outside, I heard a vague sound of slapping the table in the room. Lord Dong and the others who were waiting outside were all slapped out of their hearts.
