T-shaped scroll, Section 58: The Early Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty
It was the first time for Feng Ziying to participate in this kind of morning court, and she was still a little confused.
Although he had asked Cui Jingrong for advice before, no matter how much he said, he could not stand up to this kind of battle. At first glance, he still looked a little guilty and timid.
To be precise, his participation this time cannot be considered as a formal participation, but as a designated participation. It does not mean that his official position has qualified him to participate in the court meeting.
However, it is a rare opportunity to have a close look at the operation mode of the entire Zhou Dynasty court and see how these court meetings usually report, discuss, decide and execute court affairs.
Normally, he could hear some plans and discussions on court affairs from Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, but he still didn't know much about how the court meetings were actually carried out.
He didn't know much about how to coordinate the discussions between the imperial court and the Wenyuan Pavilion with the six ministries, and then achieve coordination and unification with the emperor.
And according to what he learned, it seems that everything may not have a set pattern, but depends on the situation.
It may be that the six ministries formed an internal opinion on a certain work, reported it to the cabinet for deliberation, and finally submitted it to the emperor for approval; it may be that the cabinet had an intention on a certain aspect of the matter and ordered the six ministries to discuss and come up with a plan, and then fed it back to the cabinet for deliberation.
Then report it to the emperor; it is also possible that the emperor had an idea and ordered the cabinet or the six ministries to study and discuss the plan, and finally come up with countermeasures; it is also possible that a certain emergency was too urgent and was directly brought to the court for study. In short, it was very
Complex, there is no fixed customization on how to classify and dispose of it.
A report like the one he may have to personally participate in today is actually an idea that the emperor had (this idea originated from a report by a certain six ministers, and the report from the six ministers was an idea generated during a specific matter such as counterinsurgency)
Reported to the cabinet and the emperor), ordered the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss, and finally came up with a resolution, which was then handed over to the six ministries for investigation, and then fed back to the cabinet, and finally went to the court for deliberation.
This transaction procedure is more complicated, but this is also because the matter is too major, complex and difficult, and must be carried out by a more careful and rigorous mechanism.
When we arrived at the door of the main hall, dozens of people were already standing noisily outside. Some were walking inside, some were chatting outside the hall, and some were just looking at the scenery, waiting for the time to come before going in.
However, it is obviously divided into several square formations.
For example, several cabinet ministers basically entered the hall directly upon arrival. For example, when Feng Ziying saw Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji entering, the surrounding crowd automatically moved out of the way.
Another example is that a few of the six ministers stood casually and leisurely. Naturally, several small circles formed with them as the core, chatting and laughing, such as Zhang Jingqiu, Li Sancai and Zheng Jizhi.
There are also some officials who are not important enough to form smaller circles based on people of the same age or from the same hometown, each looking for topics to talk about, which is very lively.
In this way, two or three people can be considered a circle, and five or six people can be considered a circle.
The people Feng Ziying is familiar with are either too high or too low. The high ones are like Qi Yongtai, who has already entered the palace. The low ones are like his classmates, who are not qualified. They are all a bunch of shujishi or political scholars.
, that is, practicing state affairs, Yang Sichang was not good enough, and was not qualified to enter the palace to discuss affairs.
However, he saw Qiao Yingjia at a glance, but Qiao Yingjia was talking to another tall and thin old man at this time, but who else could he be if he wasn't Yang Sichang's father Yang He?
After finally seeing an acquaintance, Feng Ziying couldn't care less. She was surrounded by strange eyes and strange looks. Although she was not afraid, it was not a feeling. She quickly found a place with acquaintances to resolve this problem.
Quite embarrassing.
"Ziying has met Mr. Qiao, Mr. He." Feng Ziying approached and bowed.
A smile appeared on Qiao Yingjia's face. When Feng Ziying came back, she came to the mansion to hand over the post. However, she had not yet gone to the palace to report official duties, so it was not easy to come to the mansion, so she just sent a post and a gift.
"Well, I'm back. I heard that you were assassinated in Yangzhou? What is Captain Long doing?" Qiao Yingjia nodded, "Xiu Ling only came back a few days earlier than you, so you probably don't know yet, right?
"
Feng Ziying shook her head honestly, "The students have only been back for two days. They didn't go out yesterday and rested at home. Mr. Huang gave me two days off. I said I would rest at home today, but I never thought that Mr. Cui would come to inform me that today
Students also have to attend the court meeting. Is Mr. He still in good health after a long absence? How are Mr. Chai and my father doing?"
Yang He's eyes were a little more mixed with appreciation and satisfaction, as well as some other complex expressions.
It’s no wonder that my son was originally a prodigy who was awarded the title of Editor. This guy was just a second-class Jinshi Hall candidate. He didn’t expect that after suppressing the rebellion in Western Xinjiang and adding this strategy of opening up the sea, he would directly surpass him.
Although I was weak in writing, I was taught compilation. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Wen Ruo mentioned it many times when he came back. Although he admitted that the other party was indeed talented, he was still somewhat unconvinced.
"Well, your health is not bad, and so are your father and Brother Zishu. Your father went to Shazhou not long before I left and met Liu Dongyang. Bu Shitu also came to Ganzhou specifically to visit Brother Zishu and Brother Zishu.
Your father,..."
Yang He sighed with emotion, "The tiger father has no dog son, Ziying, you have gained a lot from your trip to the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor and all the ministers will have a meeting today to discuss the results of your investigation this time, in conjunction with Kaihai to raise debt."
, set a strategy, and we will act accordingly in the future.”
"Mr. He is too flattering. This investigation down south is entirely due to Mr. Cui's leadership. I am just doing some trivial work with Jiwei..."
"Look, Brother Rujun, you taught your disciples well. No wonder Cui Ziqiang and Ming Zhong both praised Ziying."
Yang He was envious. Having such a disciple made up for the regret of Qiao Yingjia's two less accomplished sons. It was no wonder that Qiao Yingjia put all his thoughts on this disciple.
Qiao Yingjia was greatly relieved, but on the surface he had to pretend to be indifferent, "Xiu Qing, don't praise it too much. These young people are still far behind. They need to polish and settle for a few years, and I think Wen Wenwei is such a weak person."
In the past six months, there have been many excellent comments in "Internal Reference", and Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War is very optimistic about it."
By convention, "Internal Reference" is not allowed to publish signed articles by serving officials, but it can publish articles anonymously and can also sign comments.
Each issue of "Internal Reference" will have a special section that publishes incisive short comments selected from the comments on the previous issue's "Internal Reference" articles, which can also be regarded as a response to the articles in the previous issue.
Yang Sichang himself was quite talented in literature. In addition, he was stimulated by Feng Ziying's praise for his Western expedition to suppress the rebellion. Even in the Hanlin Academy, he paid great attention to military affairs. The column "Military Observation" in "Internal Reference" was a must-have for every article written by Yang Sichang.
Read it, and you must write a review after reading it. There are quite classic words in it, and it has also been praised by Zhang Jingqiu.
When he heard Qiao Yingjia praising his son, Yang He couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.
Praising his son made him feel better than praising himself. Qiao Yingjia only had one good disciple, but he was a good son. That was still different.
Seeing these two people "complimenting" each other's juniors, and both looking happy, Feng Ziying was quite speechless. One was a fourth-rank official, and the other was a third-rank official. They were just outside Fengtian Hall, and they were not afraid of the people around them.
joke.
But as a junior, he could only stand aside and wait patiently.
Finally, he saw a few more "heretics" wearing scarlet robes. Feng Ziying thought they were Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and a few others, but when he looked again, he didn't recognize them. After a second look, he saw that they were Xiezhi's Fuzi, who obviously came from
The six subjects are all given to those in charge.
Although Pinyi is only in the seventh rank and is one level lower than himself, they are special beings and still have to attend court meetings.
After waiting patiently for a while, she finally saw Wu Liangsi appear. Feng Ziying then confessed to Qiao Yingjia and Yang He, and ran over in a hurry. Only when she got together with the lower-level people in scarlet robes could she feel this way.
It will be slightly more balanced.
By this time, people around him had a rough idea of who Feng Ziying was.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the authorized personnel below the fourth-grade official who can go to the palace are the people who went to Jiangnan this time. Wei Guangwei and Wu Liangsi knew many people, but Feng Ziying was an unfamiliar face.
Although Feng Ziying was very famous in the past, he was not qualified to go to court, and he usually either hunkered down in the Hanlin Academy, or went directly to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet with the elders, or even went to the Sixth Department, which also directly met with the big guys.
Departments such as the Imperial Procuratorate, the General Administration Department, Dali Temple, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Zhanshi Mansion, and the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion are rarely seen, and basically no one knows them.
However, everyone knows that Feng Ziying's candidate is Qiao Yingjia, and his teacher is Qi Yongtai. With such a strong relationship, ordinary people would look at him with side eyes, not to mention that this son was not only favored by the emperor in the palace examination, but also came to the West Expedition.
He made great contributions to the rebellion, and the strategy of opening up the sea was closely related to this person. There are rumors that the strategy of opening up the sea was not initiated by Chai Ke, but was suggested by Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying could feel that the unknown officials around her were starting to turn their attention to her, and the targets of the whispers were definitely her. Fortunately, with Wu Liangsi and Wei Guangwei as cover, it would not be too uncomfortable.
As the inspection of dental plaques began, officials began to enter the palace one after another, and Feng Ziying and the three of them also quietly arrived at the end. There were rules for who stood in this palace, and people like me who were not allowed to enter the palace were allowed to enter.
The people in the palace basically stand at the end and do not line up with their own departments.
Along with the crisp sound of the bead curtain and the sound of footsteps, the chamberlain's voice with a metallic vibrato was heard: "The Emperor has arrived."
