At this moment, the air in the court room seemed to be still, until the drums on the Meridian Gate sounded, indicating that it was time to go to court.
Liu Ji was the first to walk out of the court room without hesitation. Xu Pu and Liu Jian also walked out of the room one after another. The rest of the Hanlin Academy went out in order according to their rank.
The hundreds of civil and military officials at Meridian Gate were divided into two groups, the east and the west. The censor checked whether any officials were absent. Among them, the Xinke Jinshi who were dispersed to various ministries to observe the administration were also present. The Xinke Jinshi had already been trained when they went to express gratitude, so there were no people
An error occurred.
In the crowd, Liu Yu saw the first and third people standing in the queue of the Hanlin Academy, and he was jealous and envious. This time he was assigned to the Pizuo Bureau under the Yuheng Division of the Ministry of Works to observe politics. Basically, all the Jinshi assigned to the Pizuo Bureau in the past were
It's not taken seriously, and I'm not a craftsman. I know nine things out of ten about leather products, but I don't know anything about them. What can I learn here?
It is estimated that after the end of Guanzheng, he will be assigned to a remote area as a county magistrate. Liu Yu felt extremely regretful after the last setback in the restaurant. He heard from his friend Hu Ping that the reason why he was assigned to the Pizuo Bureau this time was mainly because of his original
The farce reached the ears of the commander, who clearly expressed his displeasure with him.
The drums of Wufeng Tower on the Meridian Gate rang three times, and the third drum sounded. The left and right gates on the left and right sides of the Meridian Gate were opened wide. The Imperial Guard Flag School went first and lined up inside the gate. All civil and military officials went to the gate to line up.
Wait for the bell to ring before entering.
The civil and military officials entered the court in two groups. The civil officials entered through the left Ye gate, and the military attachés entered through the right Ye gate. After entering, the civil and military officials were arranged in an orderly manner according to their grades to the south of Jinshui Bridge.
After blowing the whip, everyone crosses the bridge in order and goes all the way to Fengtianmen Danchi. There is a throne in the middle of the upper corridor of Fengtianmen, which is called the Golden Terrace. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor basically listened to the government at the imperial gate.
The only royal palace ceremonies that are actually held in Fengtian Hall are the Dachaohui, Shuowangchao and Jindianzhuanlu, which are of a ceremonial nature.
Officials below the fourth rank like Li Jie are generally not allowed to enter the Meridian Gate unless summoned. They can only wait quietly outside the Meridian Gate to receive their salary. It can only be said that officials below the fourth rank do not have human rights. The weather is good.
It was fine at that time, but if it was the cold wind in winter, it would be a terrible feeling.
Generally speaking, the morning court lasts about an hour. Most of the time is spent on etiquette. The time actually used to perform affairs is very short. It is just to respond to the decree as usual with the previously prepared memorials. If there are special circumstances
It will be extended for an appropriate period of time.
After the morning dynasty ended, all the civil and military officials withdrew from the dynasty one after another. The cabinet ministers, the Nine Ministers, and the Sixth Section were all left behind, presumably to hold court discussions on some unresolved matters.
Li Jie returned to the yamen and was preparing to work, checking the chapters of the records assigned to him. At this time, an official came in and announced: "Editor Lin, there is news from the palace asking you to come in to see me."
Li Jie was very surprised when he heard that he was going to enter the palace. He couldn't reach it at his own level. After thinking about it, it might have something to do with the salt policy, because he just talked about it with Xu Pu yesterday. After today's morning meeting,
He was summoned.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The Hanlin officials in the Editorial and Inspection Office all looked at each other in disbelief after Li Jie left. Only high-ranking officials such as cabinet ministers, nine ministers, ministers from the six ministries, imperial envoys from the Imperial Procuratorate, or dukes, marquises, and uncles participated in court meetings.
, let alone Li Jie, even Li Dongyang, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, has not participated in the court meeting so far.
Zhang Rui said with an envious look on his face: "The court meeting, I wonder when we can participate in it!"
Wu Wei also echoed: "The Holy Emperor is too kind to Editor Lin and actually summoned him to participate in the court meeting."
…………
Li Jie also knew that today's incident would definitely cause an uproar within the court. With his seventh-rank official position, he was far away from participating in the court meeting. After today, he would probably be the focus of the court.
You have to pay more attention to everything you say and do in the future. It is inevitable that there will be people who are secretly jealous, and there will be secret tricks. There are no quotas for official positions such as compilation, editing, review, etc. in the Hanlin Academy, but when it comes to Japanese lecturers and bachelors, they are just a carrot and a pit.
There are only two places for the sixth-grade attendants and lecturers, as well as the fifth-grade bachelor's attendants and lecturers. If you occupy this position, others will have to wait.
After entering the palace, Li Jie followed the young eunuch all the way to the Wenhua Palace. When he arrived outside the palace, the young eunuch went inside to report, until he heard a voice coming from the door.
"Xuanhanlin Academy editor Lin Pingzhi paid an audience."
Li Jie straightened his clothes and stepped inside. The cabinet ministers and the important ministers of the Nine Qing Dynasties were standing there. Being stared at by a group of high-ranking officials, even though Li Jie had a rich resume, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Any one of these people stamping their feet would make the officialdom tremble.
Three shakes.
"I respectfully send you your holy greetings!"
The emperor said with a smile: "I love you."
Li Jie glanced at the surroundings with the corner of his eye. In addition to the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the minister of Dali Temple, and the general affairs envoy, Zheng Ying, the Marquis of Wu'an, was also among them.
The British public are very close, and they are all full-blooded militants.
Before coming, Li Jie thought that this meeting was just about the salt policy. But after seeing Marquis Wu An, he changed his mind and thought that the issue of tribute would also be discussed. Marquis Wu An looked calm, thinking that he would get what he wanted at this court meeting.
, the Tatar Kou Bian really inspired the enthusiasm of the main war faction.
"Lin Aiqing, please explain in detail the method of drying salt."
Hearing this, Li Jie stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to your majesty, the method of drying salt does not require the cost of firewood from the mountain. The waste without firewood is for the sake of the province of industry and profits. If people meet the need for salt, the country will increase the salt tax."
Use. Where the tide is close to the beach, choose the one with high exposure.
Use greasy mud to build a circle around it and make it hollow inside, which is called a leak. Throw some earth into the leak, fill it with tide water, drill a hole next to the leak, let the water come out as brine, and build a high hill plate to surround it.
When brine is introduced into it and exposed to the sun, it becomes granules, and then salt becomes."
After listening to this, Zhu Youtang was thoughtful, and after a while he said, "What do you think, dear friends?"
Liu Ji coughed lightly and said: "To please the public, salt profits account for the majority of the imperial tax, how can it be easily changed! What's more, this is just his one-sided statement and cannot be trusted!"
Xu Pu came out and retorted: "I have a report from the Salt Transport Department of Fujian Province as proof. What Editor Lin said is true and has not been exaggerated."
Liu Ji was angry. Xu Pu had evidence in his hand. Why didn't he come out early or late? He had to wait until he expressed his opinion before taking it out. Isn't this a slap in his face? He turned around and said.
"Your Majesty, the dough frying method is helpful to control illegal salt. The method of drying salt is so convenient, I am afraid that illegal salt will flood and get out of control. We must guard against it!"
The imperial court has always been on guard against illegal salt, but the importance of salt interests has led many people to take risks and try the law, and they have been repeatedly banned. The reason why Zhu Youtang held a court meeting was because he was worried about illegal salt, and he still had doubts about this.
