Li Qian painted this entirely because of his past life habits, and he also knew the meaning of Goujue to those prisoners.
But what I didn't know before was that this mark would only be used to execute prisoners.
After the ministers came to his door, Li Qian asked the old eunuch again, and then he understood the reason.
It turns out that this check number is also called "Red Tiao'er", and it is used in many ways among the people, including but not limited to paying for goods in two, settling accounts at the end of the year, etc., but in the imperial court it was only used for one purpose.
No wonder these ministers reacted so strongly.
"Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
His Majesty the Emperor, who was annoyed by the ministers and was helpless, shamelessly passed the blame to the innocent eunuch on the side.
When he was approving memorials, the old eunuch never dared to take the initiative to express his opinion, but now he had no choice but to laugh and resist the blame.
After all, His Majesty the Wise Emperor is never wrong, and the eunuchs were naturally the ones who were wrong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
The old lady looked at Li Qian cautiously: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
"Alas~"
Li Qian sighed and realized that he was a little anxious. He waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault."
Seeing him like this, the old eunuch probably wanted to ease the emperor's depressed mood, so he smiled and made a joke: "Your majesty is wise, in fact, it would be good if your majesty had eliminated them all, and it would save these people from bothering your majesty. Already."
Li Qian had to admit that he was a little moved.
"What a bad idea?"
When he came to his senses, he glared at the old eunuch: "Are those people still outside?"
"Still."
The old eunuch nodded hurriedly: "I've been here since this morning and I haven't left since I was blocked outside."
"Um……"
Li Qian nodded thoughtfully, and he also understood that these civil servants must not have come to cause trouble just for such a red check mark.
In other words, the sign of approving the memorial was just a cover, but the civil servants thought they had caught Li Qian's sore foot, and wanted to use this incident to force Li Qian to make concessions on the Jingyan issue.
But Li Qian naturally wouldn't do it so easily.
These civil servants must use their best efforts, so that they will cherish this hard-won result and treat Li Qian more carefully.
"Let them all come in!"
Li Qian waved his hand and said it would be no problem to let these people stay outside the door all day.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the old eunuch took the order and went out, he soon ushered in a bunch of buzzing civil servants.
Most of these tough-minded civil servants are officials of the fifth, sixth or seventh rank, and most of them are public officials. There are only two of them who actually wear scarlet robes.
"His Majesty……"
Before the leader could speak, Li Qian waved his hand.
"I know everything you are going to say. The so-called collusion is just groundless conjecture."
The faces of the civil servants were not very good-looking. They were no longer criticizing the locust trees, but scolding the locust trees in front of them.
"You are all important officials of the imperial court, so why would I collude with you for no reason?"
With a slight smile on his face, Li Qian explained to them: "The red pick just means that I have seen it, and it has no other special meaning. You don't need to make such a fuss, and I have no dissatisfaction with you."
After saying this, the civil servants' expressions became even more awkward, and many of their prepared remarks were suppressed.
But if the goal is not achieved, these people will not give up easily.
"But, Your Majesty..."
"I've said so, what else do you want?"
There was a hint of impatience in Li Qian's tone, as if his patience was limited.
The old eunuch on the side also put on a fierce expression and glared at these civil servants in a very cooperative manner.
These dozens of civil servants also fell silent, and His Majesty the Emperor explained clearly that after reaching this level, it seemed that they had no reason to stay here anymore.
Is it possible for His Majesty the Emperor to publicly issue a self-incriminating edict? That is simply unrealistic.
It's just that firstly, I haven't achieved my goal, and secondly, I feel a little frustrated after waiting from morning to now. It's too unacceptable to leave like this now...
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not here today to hold your Majesty accountable. I don't have the courage to do so."
At this moment, the leader, a crimson-robed civil servant, spoke up. He said respectfully: "I am here to reopen the matter of extension. You are the foundation of the country. Please, for the sake of all the people in the world, please do not delay any longer."
He's pretty good at avoiding the important and taking the easy way out.
Li Qian took another look at this person, and he knew that this person was Xu Chang, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, who was in the fourth rank.
With him leading the conversation, other civil servants also let go, and each of them finally saw their way out and empowered themselves with the power of righteousness.
"Your Majesty, I am here for the sake of the court and the country!"
"If the car in front of you is overturned, the car behind you will be warned! Your Majesty, if you don't learn now, you may regret it too late in the future..."
The noisy noise of dozens of people almost opened the political hall. The old eunuch hurriedly wanted to summon the eunuchs to come over and kick out these disrespectful civil servants.
Li Qian stopped him, but he couldn't intensify the conflict now.
He frowned, stared at these civil servants with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet!"
Fortunately, although the civil servants were excited, they still understood the importance. Seeing Li Qian's behavior, they all stopped and stopped.
"Are you all going to join forces to force me?"
Li Qian stood up, walked around the table and came to the front, looking at these people with a gloomy expression.
"I don't dare."
The civil servants bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, but Li Qian did not realize how sincere they were.
"Is there anything else you don't dare to do?"
Li Qian sneered: "Since you have already been punished by the memorial, you still gathered a crowd to come to me to ask, what is this, if not forcing the palace?"
He pointed at the few officials standing near the front among the civil servants: "As censors, you, instead of stopping these people, actually took the lead in making trouble in Ziwei Palace?"
The few officials who were pointed out by Li Qian seemed to be thin-skinned, and they all lowered their heads in shame.
But there were some thick-skinned people behind him who held their necks and argued: "Your Majesty, the court supports its ministers with salary and salary, and I repay him with all my heart and brains."
"I am not a rebellious traitor who wants to force His Majesty into the palace. In fact, I am here to persuade Your Majesty for the sake of our ancestors' country and country!"
"Emperor Taizu Gao started to inaugurate Jingyan in order to protect the country and the country, which has been praised by hundreds of generations. Now he reopens Jingyan, which is not only in compliance with the hearts of all people, but also in accordance with the way of our ancestors!"
There is nothing wrong with this. As a lecturing official, the censor not only has the responsibility of supervising all officials, but also has the responsibility of giving advice to the emperor. Otherwise, how can he be called a lecturing official?
So they are fulfilling their duties and doing it for Your Majesty's benefit instead of coming here to cause trouble. The logic is self-consistent.
The other civil servants' eyes lit up when they heard this, but Li Qian didn't accept their trick.
