Chapter 148 The Case of Slandering the King (Part 2)
In the afternoon of that day, the Director of Ceremonies sent the memorials and Zhu's comments to the Sixth Section.
"Liuke" refers to the six subjects of giving things to do, or simply Liu Ke. Any one of the six subjects is assigned to one person in giving things to do, which is the seventh rank; left and right, giving to Shizhong, and giving to Shizhong, both belong to the seventh rank, and they are in charge of attendants.
Responsible for regulating and admonishing, repairing ques, collecting relics, assisting the emperor in handling memorials, and inspecting the affairs of the six ministries.
The six subjects enjoy the rights of "subject copying", "subject reference" and "cancellation". Among them, "cancellation" means that the imperial edicts and memorials are attached to the subject records every day, and are sent to the cabinet for filing every five days. The executive yamen follow the orders within the specified time limit.
When handling government affairs, the Sixth Section will be verified and canceled every five days. The Sixth Section can also participate in court discussions, court recommendations, and the formulation of major government policies and supervise their implementation.
Of course, the most well-known power of Liu Ke was that it had the power to refute imperial edicts, which was close to being a province in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, everyone in Liu Ke was given the title of Shi Zhong, although they were only in the seventh rank, but they were respected by the world.
"Dadu Jian", "Daji Jian", and of course there is also a very modern title, called section chief.
As for the six subjects themselves, the honorific title is even more impressive - Luantai.
In the Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian was in power, he changed the Zhongshu Province to "Fengge" and the Menxia Province to "Luantai". People at that time called Luantai the Liuke. It can be seen that although the rank of the Liuke was low, their status was aloof, comparable to that of the Menxia.
Also during the period of Wu Zetian, a person once said a very famous saying: "If it doesn't go through Fengge Luantai, what is the name of the imperial edict?"
This principle is also true in the Ming Dynasty. Although the emperor's imperial edicts and edicts can be issued directly to people without going through the cabinet and six departments, such edicts seriously lack legitimacy in the eyes of the world, which is the so-called "central edict."
.Theoretically speaking, if the person involved has a bad temper, he can directly refuse to accept the request, and it will be difficult for the emperor to accuse him of disobeying the order.
Today, more than half of the Zhu batches are sent directly to the Hu Ke, which means that these Zhu batches are related to the Ministry of Hu Ke or officials of the Ministry of Hu Ke.
If the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate was the main position of the Heart School, then the Sixth Section was a battlefield where the Practical School was dominant. This layout had been laid down in the Gao Gong era, because only in this way could the Practical School be able to dominate there.
When Shi Chaotang has the overall advantage, it can smoothly implement its own policy agenda. Otherwise, the imperial edict will not be issued and things will be difficult to handle.
To this day, the "Dadu Admonishment" given by Hu Kedu at that time is an acquaintance, whose name is Xiao Liangyu. His brother is one of the Three Tripods in the Eighth Year of Wanli, ranking second only to the highly pragmatic Xiao Liangyou.
Seven years later, Xiao Liangyou still stayed in the Hanlin Academy and continued to be his "preserver prime minister". As for his younger brother Xiao Liangyu, who was ranked 2nd and 56th that year, although he was shortlisted in the subsequent academy selections, he was not
He became a Shujishi, but after disbanding, he soon left the Hanlin Academy and took up a post outside. Fortunately, he was a Shujishi after all, so he stayed in Beijing and became a Beijing official.
After seven years, he went from engineering to military science, then from military science to household affairs, and finally became one of the "Admonitions of the Capital". It can be said that he has a humble but powerful position.
.
This year is the third year since he took office as Dadu Jian. Due to the limitations of the system, Dadu Jian cannot hold office for a long time, so he has always been a little uneasy, not knowing where his official career will go.
In fact, although the rank of the six subjects is not high and is only equivalent to a local magistrate, its official career is very broad and promotion is very convenient, which is far beyond the comparison of other official positions of the same level. In many historical materials of the Ming Dynasty
It can be found in the exams that many of the six subjects have been promoted several levels in a row. Among them, there are some who jump from the seventh grade to the third grade all at once. Of course, there are also many who only reach the fourth or fifth grade.
Precisely because the career prospects are so "flexible", Xiao Liangyu had already made up his mind when Gao Jingshi took up his new position as Minister of Household Affairs. He must cooperate well and not cause trouble to Gao Jingshi's administration.
Doing this was first of all to consider his own future - after all, he and Gao Pragmatic were originally of the same age, and his brother Xiao Liang was a good friend of Gao Pragmatic. Both brothers were of the practical school, and had a shining golden inscription engraved on their foreheads.
The word "high" is used; secondly, it is to repay the care given to him by the Shi School, especially Gao Pragmatic - Xinke Jinshi was promoted to Dadu in the fifth year to advise. This is not like Xu Jie's promotion of Gao Gong into the cabinet, and not everyone has it.
There was obviously a pragmatic and powerful force behind such a good fortune, so Xiao Liangyu could not repay his kindness.
However, to be fair, Xiao Liangyu did not expect that on the fourth day after Gao Pragmatic took office, there would be such a big commotion today. The Xinxue school officials at the Metropolitan Procuratorate seemed to have gone crazy this time, and almost none of them came to the ground today.
There are dozens of people involved in impeachment and impeachment.
This posture is no less impressive than Xu Jie's style in creating the situation of "Manchu Dynasty reversed arch". What's more, as far as Xiao Liangyu knows, Shen Yuanfu himself does not seem to be personally directing this trend, it is all the officials of the Xinxue School.
Spontaneously, it can be seen that Gao Pragmatic's "Qi Yong Shu" angered them deeply.
Faced with this situation, although Xiao Liangyu felt a little uneasy, he was more excited - he finally got such a good opportunity to express his position!
From heaven to earth, it all depends on your performance this time!
With this idea in mind, Xiao Liangyu ordered the staff to cook a pot of strong tea for him early in the morning, so as not to "find trouble" when the time came.
These strong teas may have really had some effect, so when the memorials, tickets and batches were delivered together, his spirit was not only good, but also high.
The first Zhu Liang that Xiao Liangyu saw was a reply to Shen Yuanfu's Memorials. The original imperial writings are always beautiful, and this time is no exception. There are not many words in it, only two short sentences:
"Sir, when he is old and planning for a country, he has very detailed considerations. I should call him and ask him in detail about what Gao Shu did not mention."
When Xiao Liangyu saw it, he was not only happy but also happy.
Although the emperor's comment was very caring about the face of "Mr. Shen" and first praised him for his maturity in planning for the country and his careful consideration, he did not agree with his opinion and dismissed Gao Yongshu's "Qi Yong Shu". The emperor only said that he was concerned about "Qi Yong Shu".
"Qi Yong Shu" does not explain the detailed part, but will teach you to be pragmatic and ask for details.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision between the first assistant and the first trusted minister, so he might as well let them "tie" first and wait.
It is not too late to make a decision after asking for the details. Of course, it does not rule out that the emperor is just pretending to be fair. In fact, he has his own opinion deep down in his heart. Summoning Gao Pragmatism is just a means to dispel doubts from the outside world.
But if this is the case, it is not obvious to outsiders what kind of opinions the emperor has.
The young emperor of the past has really grown up now, and has begun to possess the "unpredictable power of God" methods and demeanor.
There was nothing wrong with this inscription. Xiao Liangyu read it twice carefully, signed and stamped it properly, and then picked up the next inscription.
Xiao Liangyu could tell that the emperor was angry just by looking at the font of this Zhu Biao - the characters on it looked like iron and silver hooks, and were full of majesty. It was definitely not the typical Zhao style of the previous Zhu Biao that concealed the edge and contained the energy.
Not only do the words resemble the person, but in fact, one can even "see the spirit" from a person's calligraphy, that is, the mood of the person who wrote it can be seen at that time - of course, this is only effective for people with higher calligraphy attainments, Chunxiao
Autumn Snake's level is a different story, nothing can be seen from that thing.
The draft of this memorial was the same as that written by Shen Shixing, which was less than forty words. The memorial itself was quite long, so Xiao Liangyu did not intend to read it carefully first, but directly read the final draft.
"You are pragmatic, loyal and conscientious, and I have long been aware of it. I have long been aware of it. You are arrogant and superficial, making crazy nonsense, slandering the ministry, and alienating the monarch and his ministers. What is your intention? I'll go down to the town of Fusi and ask for it."
!”
"Pah!" Xiao Liangyu suddenly slapped the table. He was so excited that he couldn't help laughing three times.
"Go to the town and Fusi to inquire and report" is not a joke. This statement is "exclusively used". It is actually what later generations call "sent to prison", and this officer is also the person who has been specially designated to be severely punished.
Generally speaking, only when the emperor was extremely angry would he directly name him in Zhu Bizhong and "go down to the town of Fusi to really inquire."
However, just like when an emperor strikes his ministers with a stick, different statements represent different degrees of punishment.
For example, if the emperor says "twenty sticks," it's okay. The stick must be raised high and lowered gently. After the spanking, you can pat your butt and walk home on your own; if it's "drag it down and take heavy responsibility for twenty," it's okay.
In fact, this is not a big problem. Generally speaking, you can't run away if your skin is bruised, but it is only the flesh that suffers, and there will be no "internal injuries"; however, if the emperor adds the words "fight hard" after this sentence, it will not be a big deal.
Wonderful, it will probably kill the person, but there will be no skin trauma. There are many explanations for this.
There is also a saying here that "Xizhen Fusi will really ask and report". Generally, there are several different levels, and this one is considered neither high nor low.
If we only talk about how to use punishment in the imperial edict, then the lightest one is "go to the town and fusi to ask questions." Under this wording, the town and fusi can decide the severity of the punishment.
As mentioned in the previous article of this book, there are more and more officials in Jinyiwei who are descendants of civil servants. In addition, under normal circumstances, Jinyiwei is not willing to completely confront the civil servants group. Therefore, if the emperor just said this, then even if he wanted to fight,
Beating, but Jin Yiwei usually just shows off and will never kill or maim someone.
If the prisoner has other courtiers coming to rescue him, or even high-ranking officials, the Imperial Guards will not be interested in it, and they will just slap the red pine bark on their butts. Of course, the prisoner's own family members are smart and will send them to the Zhenfu Division.
If you get money, you can even get rid of the "songsongpi".
The most severe one is "Go down to the town and Fusi to inquire." With this kind of wording, Jinyiwei will also be under great pressure, because the emperor must be angry about it, so Dongchang will definitely send someone to supervise this.
There is no flexible way, we can only "fight hard", and civil servants generally have the same physique, and it is very easy to kill people if we really "fight hard".
The reason why "Xizhen Fusi really inquires and comes to play" is not the most severe is because it has the word "come to play". Since it still needs "come to play", then obviously your Jinyiwei can't beat the person involved directly to death.
, the person involved is dead and you still come to make fun of it? Doesn’t that mean that you can say whatever you want?
The civil service group will definitely pick words here - they can't resist the angry emperor, but they can still pull your Jinyiwei's pigtails. Therefore, Jinyiwei must also be cautious. Under the emperor's use of words, the most important thing is
Even if he is beaten to a disability, he will definitely not be beaten to death.
Since he won't be beaten to death, why is Xiao Liangyu so excited?
The reason is very simple. In the fifteen years since he succeeded to the throne, the heaviest punishment for officials has only been to "go down to the town and Fusi to ask questions." This time it is the first time that "go to town and Fusi to really ask and report."
, which is unprecedented.
After Xiao Liangyu got over his excitement, he sighed and said to himself: "Who is the one who has been my classmate for ten years, or Situ's reputation?"
However, it was a sigh of relief. Xiao Liangyu still had to understand the reason why the emperor was so angry - Shen Yuanfu's ticket was affixed on the bullet. He was obviously planning to act stupid to protect his fellow officials, so why didn't the emperor?
Giving face? You must know that in the seal just now, the emperor still gave "Mr. Shen" a lot of face. Only then did Xiao Liangyu look at the bullet carefully.
After a while, after reading the bullet, Xiao Liangyu couldn't help but hum: "There is a right way to die."
It turns out that the problem with this bulletin lies in its infinite elevation and expansion. It is not just "slandering the emperor" by talking about being high-minded and pragmatic as mentioned in the draft draft, but it also mentions many other things.
For example, he said in the bullet that Gao Pragmatic "recruited nepotism and rarely held important positions unless he was a confidant; he used public tools for personal use and was good at authority and became extremely rich"; he also said that he "relied on the holy family to tarnish the holy reputation, and relied on the famous tools to destroy the famous religion",
It is even said that he "has military power as strong as Dong Zhuo, and shields the saints from Lin Fu"... All these things almost blame Gao Pragmatic, a famous treacherous official.
The reason why Xiao Liangyu disdainfully commented on him that "there is a right way to die" is because according to his statement, Gao Pragmatism would not be able to apologize for his sins by dying a hundred times, but the question is what should the emperor do?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You compare Gao Pragmatic to Dong Zhuo, then who is the emperor? Young Emperor Liu Bian?
You compare Gao Pragmatic to Li Linfu, then who is the emperor? Xuanzong Li Longji?
Then you are really seeking death! The young emperor Liu Bian was deposed first and was forced to commit suicide a year later. Although Xuanzong Li Longji was good in the early stage, he only favored Yang Yuhuan in the later stage. The government was neglected, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.
.
In your comparison, isn't it true that an old man eats arsenic and becomes impatient with his life?
As for the claim that high pragmatism favors nepotism and uses public tools for personal use, there is no concrete evidence.
It is said that when he was in Liaodong, he specially transferred Ma Dong and others to exclude Li Chengliang. But the problem is that Gao Pragmatic went to Liaodong originally to warn Li Chengliang to go there with the holy will, and reused Ma Dong and others... The battle of Liaonan is
They beat him. You don't see where such great achievements are, and you just say that he is nepotistic? Are you thinking about horse piss?
It is said that Gao Jingshi "became a huge wealth" because of his private use of public objects. This is even more true in the Tang Dynasty. The rise of Beijing can be traced back to the Longqing period. At that time, Gao Jingshi was just a companion, and the first business he did was with Emperor Mu Zong
He personally approved it in exchange for the free supply of palace soap. Where did the public utensils come from here for his private use?
Do you still want to climb the high arch? The conclusion has been sealed and the posthumous title has been corrected. No civil servant in the world can tolerate your behavior, you know?
