In fact, the emperor had two orders for Sun Yong, the young eunuch in the clerk's office of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Sun Yong, the admiral of twenty gates, to be sent to the cabinet.
One is to bury the loyal gatekeeper surnamed Liu with honor, and the other is to unveil the post of the gatekeeper surnamed Liu and find out the repercussions.
Now there is only one bachelor in the cabinet, namely Shen Shixing and Chief Assistant Shen, so he can only take over the decree.
Regarding these two decrees, Shen Shoufu thought for a while and decided to just be an emotional forwarding machine without adding any subjective comments.
The matter of honorably burying the eunuch surnamed Liu was sent to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Rites is the headquarters of the Qingliu forces, and Song Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a high-level figure in the Qingliu forces. There is nothing wrong with building the Martyrs' Shrine for the eunuchs together!
It’s definitely not because the Ministry of Rites is in charge of rituals and sacrifices, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction!
It is said that Song Hu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Lu Guangzu, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, two high-ranking figures in the Qing Dynasty, have kept a low profile in the past two years and basically do not directly participate in the fight.
It may be that Lin Tailai was too ruthless in his killings in the past few years. As a result, the Qingliu forces now rarely use high-level officials and people in key positions to compete, and they all rely on cannon fodder tactics at the bottom.
As for the emperor's second order "to find out the response to the unveiling of the post", Shen Shoufu also forwarded it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Personnel very skillfully.
After all, with the participation of the officials, we can directly formulate a punishment plan, eliminating the need for further delay.
Xizhimen in the northwest corner of the capital is still sunny and sunny, as if the suicide of the gate official and eunuch had no impact on the city's defense.
Lin Tailai didn't want to stay in the city gate tower, so he set up a tent under the city wall and got in to take a nap.
In a daze, I heard someone shouting: "Brother Jiuyuan! I'm here to visit you!"
Lin Tailai opened his eyes and found Ning Yuanbo's eldest son, Li Rusong, standing outside the tent under the leadership of Mr. Pang.
So Lin Tailai went out to greet him and asked, "Brother, are you going out of town for an outing and passing by here?"
Li Rusong laughed a few times: "Only a fool would get into trouble with traveling out of town, ah, I'm not talking about your division.
In fact, I came here specifically to visit you, and I also have a happy event to thank you for!"
"What happy event?" Lin Tailai asked curiously.
Li Rusong replied: "The Emperor has decreed that I will be temporarily in charge of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, which is a bit of an errand."
Li Rusong was impeached from the position of commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town two years ago and returned to the capital, and it has been difficult to find a new job.
It is condescending to work in a patrol camp with the official position of first-grade governor and co-inspector.
Now that I have been ordered to temporarily take charge of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, it can be considered a serious mission.
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "Isn't the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army in charge of Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi?"
Li Rusong laughed a few times and said, "Due to rumors about the reduction of Lumi some time ago, didn't hundreds of military attachés gather outside the left gate of Chang'an and beat up Sun Quan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
Duke Dingguo was dismissed from the post of in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Hou Army because of his poor management and suppression."
Lin Tailai was stunned. He did not expect such a follow-up. He said meaningfully: "If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans."
You, Li Rusong, helped spread the rumors in the beginning, but in the end you were able to take advantage of it.
Li Rusong laughed and said, "This is called good reward for good people!"
Lin Tailai pointed to Commander Pang next to him, "The officers and soldiers at each city gate will be under the command of the rear army governor's office?"
Li Rusong nodded and said, "That's true. Does he want anything?"
Lin Tailai said casually: "He wants to go to Chongwenmen, but there is no rush. I will test him again."
Mr. Pang really wants to ask, what else is there to test?
I have already helped you kill the gatekeepers and eunuchs, why can't you still prove your loyalty?
While he was talking, he suddenly saw Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, riding a horse towards Xizhimen with a slumped face.
Behind Zhao Yongxian were several officials from the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette and the priests of the temple.
Li Rusong asked, "Why is he still serving as Zuo Shilang when the annulment case happened?"
Lin Tailai said meaningfully: "Wouldn't it be good to let him continue to be Zuo Shilang?"
For the position of left minister of the Ministry of Rites, one is already qualified to join the cabinet under normal circumstances.
If Zhao Yongxian is dismissed from office and replaced by someone else as the left minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Zhao Zhigao will immediately have a new competitor for the cabinet.
And Zhao Yongxian's reputation has been greatly damaged after the annulment case, and there is definitely no hope of joining the cabinet.
It would be better to let Zhao Yongxian continue to occupy the position of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and prevent others from using the left minister of the Ministry of Rites as a step to enter the cabinet.
Only by destroying the competitiveness of your opponent can you truly destroy your opponent.
When a group of people from the Ministry of Rites rode their horses to the city gate, Lin Tailai, who was conscientious and conscientious, shouted:
"Are you going to commit a crime against the odds and go out for a spring outing in the city?
Listen to my advice and don't be so stubborn! The nature of collective behavior is even worse!"
Everyone from the Ministry of Rites: ""
Originally, they didn't want to talk to this disciple named Lin, but if they didn't answer, they were afraid that it would be misunderstood if word spread!
In this sensitive period, we cannot allow any unnecessary misunderstandings and rumors to arise!
Yu Kong, the doctor of the Ceremony Department, replied on behalf of everyone: "We are ordered to build the Martyrs' Shrine. We will go out to Xizhimen to survey the site!"
Lin Tailai murmured loudly: "Does surveying require a minister and so many officials?
I guess we should use this as an excuse to go out of the city together for a youth trip!"
??????????.??????
The officials of the Ministry of Rites exploded instantly. They paid attention to the emperor's will. Is it wrong to have a few more people?
Zhao Yongxian, who was taking the lead, shouted angrily: "Everyone go back! Just tell me that our servant Lin Tai will stop us from leaving the city to build the Martyrs' Shrine!"
Li Rusong hurriedly came out to persuade him to make peace: "It's not that bad! The gentlemen of the Ministry of Rites should leave the city quickly to run errands. Lin Jiuyuan was just joking!"
Watching the officials of the Ministry of Rites leave the city, Lin Tailai was quite speechless. The emperor was so disgusting that he could really disgust people to death.
Build a Martyrs' Shrine outside Xizhimen, where the martyrs who committed suicide because of their opposition to "illegal tourism" will be able to see it as long as they go out of the city from here.
Li Rusong beside him sighed: "It seems that you literati will have to take a long detour from Fuchengmen or Deshengmen in the future."
At the same time, in the office of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chen Younian, a doctor in the Literary and Selection Department, and Zhao Nanxing, a foreigner in the Gongfu Examination Department, sat across from each other with bitter expressions.
Chen Younian sighed and said, "Yang Tianguan said that all the thirteen people named on the poster may have to be demoted one level and have to sit back and think for a month before they can cope with it."
Zhao Nanxing felt even more bitter because his name was among the thirteen names.
The year before last, he was still a member of the Literary and Selection Department, waiting to take over from Chen Younian.
As a result, after meeting Lin Tailai, he became a member of the imperial examination department. His rank remained the same, but his status was reduced.
If he is demoted again this time, he will become the head of the Merit Examination Department!
Is there any truth in the world that the more you become an official, the smaller you become?
Thinking of this, Zhao Nanxing said angrily: "Does everyone really believe that the gatekeeper surnamed Liu really committed suicide?"
Chen Younian said helplessly: "Those people who are now qualified to investigate the case all hope that the gatekeeper surnamed Liu is a loyal martyr who committed suicide. What can they do?"
Zhao Nanxing was still unwilling to accept that his official position was getting smaller and smaller, so he suggested again:
"Can we launch a rebellion? After all, when we were named, it was Liu Menguan's one-sided statement. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered as evidence."
Chen Younian was speechless. This was too obvious a double standard.
When they criticized others in court, when did they strictly pay attention to empirical evidence?
After careful consideration, Chen Younian replied: "We can't just wishful thinking on things like the Resistance War. We have to look at the situation at Xizhimen."
Zhao Nanxing: ""
Since when has the political situation of our imperial court depended on the attitude of Xizhimen? When has Xizhimen become the political center?
However, after thinking for a moment, Zhao Nanxing added: "I have a good friend in the Department of Military Affairs. I asked him to come forward and ask one or two suitable military attachés to go find the chief inspector of Xizhi Mengbo."
Chen Younian agreed: "This is the safest way."
You have to know your opponent's intentions in order to take action.
If the opponent is targeted, initiating resistance is just a ridiculous self-pleasure. What's the use?
Punishment was imminent and time was extremely tight, so Zhao Nanxing quickly got up and went to ask for a favor.
As the commander-in-chief of the Qingliu forces in this struggle, I originally had a good idea——
Keep the fourth auxiliary Wang Jiaping, capture the second auxiliary Xu Guo, use the third auxiliary Wang Xijue as the scapegoat and clean it up, and then prevent Zhao Zhigao from entering the cabinet.
In this way, there will be two thorns in the cabinet, Xu Guo and Wang Jiaping, who can jointly restrain Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the minority.
But in just one day, Xu Guo, the second assistant, was directly abolished, and he could no longer be abolished.
Moreover, the thirteen main attackers on our side were restrained together, and the situation was completely out of control.
Now let alone aggression, self-protection is already overwhelming!
Why can someone go to Xizhimen in the corner and still cause wind and rain?
Is it necessary to send someone to a Xishan coal mine to dig coal in order to live a peaceful life?
That night, when General Manager Pang was off duty, an old brother named Zhang, who was a commander and worked as General Manager Qian in Beijing Camp, came over to have a drink with him.
After pushing the cup and changing the cup, Mr. Zhang Qian asked: "Brother! I heard that you guys are in a state of shock lately."
Mr. Pang replied with concern: "Who says it's not the case? I'm frightened all day long, and I'm going to lose ten years of my life!"
Mr. Zhang Qian comforted him and said, "Fortunately, it's all over. You've finally gotten over it, and you'll be back to peace in the future."
Mr. Pang said with a sad face: "Where are we now? There may not be troubles ahead!"
Mr. Zhang Qian asked doubtfully: "Your officials and eunuchs are already dead, what else can happen?"
Mr. Pang replied drunkenly: "I have to be prepared at any time, maybe holding a memorial written for me by someone else to beat the drum!"
Just because I am grateful for the loyalty of the gatekeeper, Eunuch Liu, and after seeing Eunuch Liu's martyrdom, if the status quo remains unchanged, then I will inherit Eunuch Liu's last wish and continue to expose it!
Because I am also a gatekeeper, I have witnessed more violations than Eunuch Liu!
Eunuch Liu exposed thirteen people, I can expose twenty-three people, or even thirty-three people!
If you have a loyal minister like Eunuch Liu, you can have a loyal military attache like me!"
Mr. Zhang Qian: ""
Dear mother, the water in Xizhimen is too deep!
I can't ask any more questions, just reply to the Master of the Ministry of War like this!
