The sky was dim and bright, and Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of Chenghua, was sitting on the edge of the dragon bed in a daze. He saw the morning time, but when he thought about it, Zhu Jianshen felt bored.
It should be said that Zhu Jianshen is not tired of the morning court itself. In the past thirty years, the morning court itself has become a ritualized procedure. It is just a symbolic announcement and announcement of a few things after being selected by the cabinet.
As for the emperor, he only needs to answer "yes" a few times, "discuss with the subordinates", etc. Zhu Jianshen himself does not dislike such rigid procedures. He attends the meeting dutifully and responsibly every time. After participating, he
Just do whatever you need to do.
But what annoys the emperor is that in the past few days, the morning court, which should have been solemn, solemn, orderly, and orderly, has been chaotic. There have been quarrels every day around issues such as the official appointment, the appointment of officials, and the ennobling of relatives.
Probably because the emperor usually did not see his ministers, so if the ministers wanted to defend themselves before the emperor, they could only take advantage of the opportunity of the morning court. As a result, the already programmed morning court turned into a criticism meeting, which annoyed Zhu Jianshen very much, and many people made excuses to stop the court.
thoughts.
As the founder of the lazy model, Zhu Jianshen boldly took the first step and basically stopped interacting with ministers, so as not to leave official duties all day long and be too busy to eat, drink, play and enjoy life; but he did not dare to take the second step.
That means not going to court.
Mainly due to traditional concepts, how can an emperor who did not even go to court still be an emperor? Looking through the history books, there are many emperors who did not go to court, but all of them were the stuff of national subjugation and genocide. It is scary to look at them.
Afraid.
Zhu Jianshen's lazy government returned to lazy government, but he did not want to subjugate the country, so the Ming Dynasty wanted to set a precedent for the emperor not to go to court. Later generations needed to make bolder innovations...
Like countless ordinary office workers, Zhu Jianshen experienced countless struggles and entanglements this morning. Finally, he climbed up from the dragon bed in pain. Then he changed clothes, washed up, and went out to work. No, he also went to court.
The throne was set high on the golden platform of Fengtianmen. Zhu Jianshen looked at the empty square indifferently. Then the eunuch blew his whip, the bells and drums rang, and thousands of civil and military officials emerged from the Jinshui Bridge on the far side. In just a short time,
Within a short time, the civil and military officials trotted across the Jinshui River, and the three colors of red, blue and green filled his field of vision.
After Shan Hu Long Live, it was officially opened. There was a sway in the class, but a minister in censor uniforms was seen rushing out of the crowd. Like an arrow from the string, he flew up to Danqi and kowtowed: "I have this memorial for you, Ni Jinxian."
!”
Zhu Jianshen frowned in disgust when he saw that it was a censor Yan Guan. He was almost fed up with being a censor Yan Guan these days. He almost got up and left, but in the end he held back and sat still with an expressionless face.
Zhu Jianshen did not know some things about the outer dynasty in the inner palace, but some people in the outer dynasty knew the details of Yushi Ni. Yushi Ni was nicknamed "Censor of Xi**", and it is said that his position as censor was
It was obtained by donating medicine to Shoufu Wan'an, and this medicine is used to wash away the words... Judging from Wan Shoufu's performance, the effect of this medicine should be pretty good.
"Fang Yingwu was imprisoned. He was supposed to be isolated inside and outside, but Wang Zhi, the director of the Xichang Factory, forced him to visit him in prison several times. The minister impeached Fang Yingwu. Wang Zhi communicated with him inside and outside, and was charged with collusion!"
Censor Ni said what he said, attracting the attention of the ministers who were nearby. Although the court meeting was lively these days, but after seeing too much noise every day, I got tired of it. I originally thought that there would be no new tricks today. Unexpectedly, there were still tricks.
Renovated!
First of all, Censor Ni actually dared to directly impeach Wang Zhi by name! Secondly, he actually directly dragged Fang Yingwu, a popular figure in recent times, into the water!
It wouldn't be surprising if others are so upright. There are many bold people in the world. But who is Ni Jinxian? Many people know it well, so what is his intention in doing this?
Before everyone could react, they heard Yu Shi Ni continue to play: "Please stop the West Factory!"
This was the end, but it aroused everyone's greater interest. The proposal to stop Xichang, hahahaha... The last time the person who asked to stop Xichang in front of the emperor was the old chief minister, Fu Shang Xianggong...
....
Academician Liu Mianhua was standing nearby with his eyes closed, waiting for the morning to be over. Hearing Yushi Ni's advance, he suddenly opened his old eyes, but did not look at Yushi Ni. Instead, he turned his head to look at the other party.
He is separated from his chief assistant Wan An. This situation is 100% caused by Wan An.
At the level of cabinet bachelor, Liu Mianhua naturally thinks differently from others. Wan An doesn't know that Fang Yingwu is his son-in-law. Therefore, although Wan An is separated from the Fang family, the Fang family and his son have not done anything.
.
But what is Wan Shoufu's purpose in today's incident? Don't worry about other purposes. Liu Mianmian can feel it. It at least contains the meaning of beating himself. Yes, he can also feel it with intuition.
Liu Mianhua was not surprised. He blocked the limelight of his second assistant Liu Jue and married the rising Fang family. Naturally, it caused some psychological changes in Wan Shoufu and made some subconscious actions.
After listening to Ni Jinxian's performance, the emperor did not answer, but also glanced at the chief minister Wan An, and thought of Wan An's secret play in his mind. Could this be the step that the dear old chief minister had arranged for himself?
It is indeed a step that kills two birds with one stone... First of all, getting rid of Xichang, who was a thorn in the side of the ministers, is equivalent to giving a big sweet date to the civil servants, which can ease the relationship between the monarch and his ministers and dilute the contradiction between the ministers and the conferred titles;
Secondly, punishing Fang Yingwu with the charge of "traffic eunuch" can not only relieve himself from being unable to step down, but also make the officials have nothing to say. The reason is obvious. If you want to punish Fang Yingwu with the crime of speech
I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance if you respond. Being convicted for speaking out is the most disgusting thing for civil servants, but if you deal with it by colluding with eunuchs, the resistance will be much smaller.
Thinking of this, the emperor began to consider his statement. Should he answer with a neutral "I know", or a slightly biased "lower council meeting"? Or the most obvious biased "quasi memorial,"
"Cabinet draft edict"?
Perhaps it was time to cut the knot with a sharp knife. Just as Zhu Jianshen was about to open his mouth, suddenly a person suddenly appeared from the bachelor's class not far in front of him and kowtowed: "I have something to report!"
This person was none other than Liu Ji, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. He had to give this face, so Zhu Jianshen inquired: "Sir, what do you want to report?"
Liu Ji said: "I have a marriage contract with the Fang family for a long time. I want to marry my daughter to Fang Yingwu. The marriage was originally scheduled to be completed in a few days. Now that Fang Yingwu has offended His Majesty, he deserves to be thrown into the sky prison. I'm afraid that he will be the same when he is released from prison."
On the day of my exile, I had no time to get married. After much thought, I beg your majesty to show mercy and allow me to send my little girl to prison and marry Fang Yingwu in prison!"
Which episode is this? Zhu Jianshen didn't know how to answer, so he casually said: "Why are you so anxious, sir?"
Liu Ji kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. I recently heard that my father was critically ill. I should have returned home quickly to take care of him, but I was afraid that my children would be delayed due to unexpected events. I wanted to get married early, which is considered an understanding. It's a pending matter, I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow us to get married!"
