Chapter 161: The handwriting of the cabinet ministers is too selfish
In front of the gate of Daming Palace—
As soon as Yang Guochang finished speaking, Emperor Chongping's face moved slightly and he cast a pair of majestic eyes on Han Huang.
Han Huang had plastic surgery to reduce his appearance, and holding an ivory jade wat, he said: "I think the main problem is the raging banditry in Dongcheng. How to curb it? As far as I know, the Dongcheng gang has been entrenched in the Shenjing area for seven or eight years, and has gradually become a chronic disease.
Although the Holy One previously sent Mr. He Ge to investigate the matter, I thought that with Mr. He Ge's magnanimity and benevolence, it might be difficult to cure the root cause. As the saying goes, "celebrating my father's death will not end Lu's troubles. If I don't cherish this generation, I will think that Dongcheng is in trouble with bandits."
, will come one after another, never ending!
These words showed the pattern, and they coincided with what Jia Heng had said before, that as soon as the words of Jing, the great Han Dynasty, were to behead his rival Han Huang, all the officials in science and education agreed.
Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Han Huang and thought to himself, Han's first assistant couldn't help but take action, his methods were gentle and cunning, and he moisturized things silently.
Mr. He Ge was almost never given a chance to make amends, so no one would care about Mr. He Ge's fault now. But after the incident, there would be a flood of bullets and heated discussions in the Imperial Academy.
You are the Minister of Etiquette and enjoy great prestige in the country, but when you take the exam, you are beaten and maimed by green-skinned scoundrels. Do you still have the nerve to sit in the cabinet and issue orders?
This cabinet minister probably won't last long.
But he did not directly target He Juncheng, or even directly oppose Emperor Chongping. Instead, he was circuitous and euphemistic, caring about the country and the people.
Even the layout is a bit bigger. The banditry in Dongcheng should be wiped out. Find a way to cure the root cause!
Si Yan, how dignified and upright it is!
This fell upon Emperor Chongping's ears. Even if he thought that Han Huang's sword dance at Xiangzhuang was aimed at Pei Gong, he could not say anything.
In the eyes of all the officials, he was loyal to the country and had true knowledge and insight.
The most important thing is that unlike Ke Dao Yan Guan, who directly drags a pavilion elder into trouble, this simply does not give the emperor time to consider...
The emperor didn't even think about appointing someone to replace the cabinet and balance the situation in the court, but Han Huang gave him a buffer time to let the emperor think about how to balance the situation in the government again, and at the same time, he also gave him time to hold his position and support others.
This is the handiwork of the cabinet minister!
The selfish mind is hidden in the public heart, listening to thunder in the silent place.
Undoubtedly, this would probably shake Emperor Chongping's mentality of "maintaining the status quo." Just now, Emperor Chongping first praised him, then blamed himself, and then comforted Fan Yi. After all the rounds, the Yu Shiyanguan's anger had actually been reduced by five.
Sixty percent.
But the anger of 50% to 60% was enough to help Han Huang exclude a bachelor from the cabinet.
Yang Guochang's eyebrows were beating wildly and his heart was heavy. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't agree with what Elder Han Ge said. A cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of Rites went to investigate in person. Why can't we get to the bottom of it and examine its evildoings carefully?
Han Huang's expression remained unchanged and he did not speak.
Because these words are not worth refuting, others will refute them on his behalf.
There is something in Dongcheng. Hunan Daoyu Zhou Guode said that the great imitation is like Geng Zhou Guowei He Ge Lao was the Ministry of Rites and respected virtue and etiquette.
,
And punishment is imposed on villains,
How can we get to the bottom of things when we don’t know them? The ancients said that a gentleman behaves with integrity.
As soon as this statement came out, the officials of Kedao expressed their approval and came out to support:
"I second the proposal!"
Unless the bandits in Dongcheng are eliminated, vicious things will happen one after another!"
"I second the proposal!"
"Seconded!"
The imperial censors all came forward one after another to report that it was not appropriate for Mr. He Ge to preside over the case anymore. Yang Guochang's face was cold and silent, and a hint of darkness flashed deep in his eyes.
He Juncheng can no longer protect him, and Qi Dang will lose an arm!
Once He Juncheng left, he lost an ally in the cabinet. Now he had to consider in advance who to replace him in the cabinet to balance Han Shaoxing's pressing pressure.
Emperor Chongping looked silent, took a deep look at Han Huang, and said thoughtfully: "Since He Qing is not suitable to preside over this case, who should preside over it? Han Qing is the official of the Ministry of Personnel, can anyone recommend him?
Facing everyone's gaze, Han Huang's expression became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said: "I thought that Jingzhao Yin Xu Lu could be the chief judge, and he would be assisted by a Wu Xun, and he would mobilize the soldiers of the Jingying camp and the troops of the five cities.
Jia Ziyu is the Cloud Demon General. Whether it is the case of Fan Yi, the exam-taker who was beaten to death, or the case of the five-city army officer who was ambushed and killed, everyone knows the details. Shengyi is the root of the cure, winning people, and winning people.
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he looked majestic and thoughtful on his face. He seemed to be thinking about Han Huang's words. Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Province, also went out to report: "The Wei minister Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Province, died because of his ignorance."
I heard that Yunhui General Jia Heng was upright and had a reputation far and wide. Now he has returned to Beijing to suppress the bandits with his bravery, loyalty, and pacification of the banditry. The ministers believed that the words of the great scholar of Han Dynasty were true knowledge and insight. Xu Kai, a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy,
, cupped his hands and said: "The humble minister Hanlin is giving lectures on Xu Kai's memorial. Jia Ziyu is direct from inside to outside, and speaks and does dangerous things. With his help from the side, he should be able to clear away the troubles in Dongcheng."
Whether Jia Ban was attacking Dengyun Wengu or reprimanding Liang Shilang just now, it all shows that he is not afraid of powerful people and has an upright and upright character.
"The Criminal Division of the Court has given the second opinion to Tang Huailiang regarding the matter.'
"Chen Gongke seconded the proposal to Zhu Yuanmao."
"Ruan Chang, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty Department of the Ministry of Punishment, seconded the proposal.
"Han Qi, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, seconded the proposal.
Obviously, officials at the ministerial level have also come to an end.
"Zhao Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, seconded the proposal. Eventually, even officials at the ministerial level came to second the proposal.
Hearing the voices of support from the crowd, Yang Guochang's face became increasingly ugly. He raised his old face and stared at the young dignitary in the flying fish uniform. The dark look in his eyes became more intense.
"This son is the source of chaos."
Jia Heng listened to the praises and second opinions of the Hanlin experts around him, his face expressionless, and he was thinking about Han Huang in his heart.
First, there is no doubt that Cai Cai's words are still good for the emperor. After all, he went to He Juncheng and used Xu Lu to preside over the trial. What does this mean? It has to be thought-provoking.
Did he elevate Xu Lu to the position of cabinet minister?
After all, the replacement of cabinet ministers still needs to be recommended by the court. The emperor cannot act arbitrarily and still needs to balance the forces. Second, show him favor. Since he is the one who prosecuted the matter, it is logical for him to take the lead in this matter, and it is in line with his wishes.
Third, needless to say, it is to attack the forces of the chief minister and assistant ministers of the cabinet. When the dust settles, or even before it settles, the second minister of the cabinet will use his own officials to replace the cabinet members.
The bureaucrats of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry line have gained momentum since then.
Um?
Jia Heng was shocked. He seemed to have heard the name of Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Han Huang saw Zhao Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, wearing a black gauze on his head and golden pheasant patch next to him.
So Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishment, is Han Tong’s man?
beware.
As he became more concerned about government affairs, he began to ponder the positions of several bachelors in the cabinet.
Chen Han's major events, as he said, were three, but the core one was a side event. Side events were major events that endangered the country and the country and were a close concern of Emperor Chongping.
It can be said that whoever masters the formulation of national policies on border affairs can securely sit in the cabinet chair.
The chief minister of the cabinet and the leader of the Qi Party, Yang Guochang was good at managing money and goods, so he was highly valued by the emperor.
As for Han Tong, the second assistant, he is a representative of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He has no idea that the imperial court has imposed heavy taxes on the southeast in recent years. It is a muddy pond and a naked financial black hole. Only the three southeastern provinces, Huguang and Hunan can be said. It is not easy to obey, and the voice of falling Yang is said to be unpopular in the southeast. It has become very popular.
Therefore, where is the spirit of political struggle?
It was not only a dispute over personnel, but also a battle for fame and fortune. After hearing what was said, Emperor Ping silently thought about assisting Jingzhao Yamen in rectifying the banditry in Dongcheng.
Block the way of speech, pay a half-year salary increase, control hooks,
Quan Zhi, these are all names created by the temporary dispatch of officials in the former Song Dynasty. Chen and Han followed the previous Ming Dynasty and blended a lot of the official systems of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is said that the huidianshu of the previous Ming Dynasty must learn from the official systems of the Tang and Song Dynasties. , this was also an expedient plan that Emperor Chongping came up with after thinking for a moment.
“Long live the Holy Spirit, long live the Holy Ming!”
When all the officials heard this, they all shouted long live. They all felt that this was another glorious victory for the civil service group.
If you ask for something, nine times out of ten, it will be granted.
Only Liang Yuan, the minister of household affairs, looked at the young man in brocade clothes coldly with a gloomy face.
Of course, he doesn't care about the salary, but if this matter comes together, his career will be greatly affected. This is a fatal thing!
At this time, He Juncheng, the Minister of Rites, had just come from Zuoyemen. He had just exchanged a few words with Li Zan, the Minister of War, when he heard the edict read out by the eunuch in front of the Daming Palace. His old body was shocked and his face changed slightly.
I only have one thought: this cabinet minister will not last long.
Li Zan's cold face also showed a trace of surprise. He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. He Ge, are you waiting to see the Holy Emperor?"
He Juncheng sighed, his eyes flickered, and said: "Mr. Li Ge, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back first.
So what if I go to see the Holy Spirit, and then get pointed at and scolded by some juniors from Kejia? Why not go home and retreat bravely?
He Juncheng, the leader of the Kejia League at that time, obviously also had a temper. He bowed his hands to Li Zan, turned around and left.
An old man in his early sixties, with gray hair on his temples, walked swiftly and disappeared from the palace gate in a short while.
Doesn't he look unwell?
Li Zan secretly shook his head, his cold and thin face was thoughtful, and he said: "When He Ge goes to Ji Town before he is old, we can't let the people of Qi Party mess around anymore. As for Mr. Han Ge, he is too selfish."
, seeking the interests of the southeastern region, regardless of the country and the country. Obviously, the leader of the Chu party also wanted to use this matter to gradually squeeze the say of the Qi party, headed by the chief minister of the cabinet, in the affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, is good at managing money and goods, spending money and food, and he has a group of local governors from Shandong under him, the border army generals echoed and supported him. Li Zan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was influenced by the border affairs strategy, personnel, money and food.
At the same time, his fists and feet must not be stretched. Li Zan, the minister of the Ministry of War, put away some chaotic thoughts, straightened his official robes, and headed towards the Daming Palace. At this time, a group of science and education officials also calmed down their anger. Under the comfort of Emperor Chongping,
Gradually, many of them had not eaten lunch. When their anger dissipated, they naturally felt hungry and thirsty.
On the side of Emperor Chongping, he also cast a pair of majestic eyes on Han Huang, Yang Guochang and other cabinet ministers. He was silent for a moment, then looked at Jia Heng and said: "Several academicians went to the East Pavilion first and asked the imperial dining room to send some
After the meal is over, Ziyu, follow me into the palace. Dai Quan, you go and summon Xu Deqing, the Yin of Jingzhao, to come into the palace.
At this time, Li Zan had arrived in front of the Daming Palace, and greeted Emperor Chongping and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zan has met.
Li Qing is also here. If you have not had lunch, you can go to the East Pavilion first." Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a clear voice.
"I obey you." Li Huang glanced at Jia Heng and knew that the Holy Master was going to summon this son alone.
