Chapter 471: Confronting the Emperor

After Zhang Yue said something, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly solidified.

The back hall of Chongzheng Hall is a very spacious place, and two little Huangmen were adding incense to the incense burners on the side of the hall.

Suddenly, he felt that the master's tone was stagnant, so he raised his head slightly, only to see the old eunuch at the side of the palace giving the two of them a stern look.

Xiao Huangmen, who was able to work in the Chongzheng Hall, knew how to watch what was happening. The two of them immediately stopped what they were doing, kowtowed to the officials behind the case, and retreated out of the hall.

The old eunuch looked solemn, raised the whisk in his hand and said in a high-pitched voice: "Minister, please retire!"

The official's face looked a little pale, as if he didn't react for a moment.

He was somewhat in disbelief at this moment. Although the servant reminded the two officials to leave, the official waved his hand and asked Zhang Yue: "What did you say just now?"

Lu Hui coughed lightly and winked at Zhang Yue, signaling him to apologize immediately.

Zhang Yue's words were stagnant.

Seeing that Zhang Yue hesitated to answer, the official stared at Zhang Yue, raised his voice slightly, and asked condescendingly: "Qing Zhang, will you tell me what you just said again?"

The eunuch on the side sighed softly, took three steps back and looked at the situation inside the palace.

After Zhang Yue spoke just now, he felt a sense of fear, and his body even trembled slightly, and his heart beat rapidly.

"Why don't you dare?" The official chuckled.

Do you think I dare not?

Zhang Yue's blood was rising at this moment, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "What I just said, your Majesty feels that I am not qualified to hold the post of the three departments. If so, I can report it to you in detail."

Lu Jie shook his head, a Taichang Cheng actually dared to choke the emperor?

Yes, during the Renzong Dynasty, Taiwanese admonishers often did this.

During Renzong's time, the status of Taiwan's remonstrance was not high, but in the Renzong Dynasty, the status of Taiwan's remonstrance was infinitely higher. However, Renzong's original intention was to use Taiwan's remonstrance to restrict the power of the prime minister, but Nazhi shot himself in the foot.

The real core of Taiwan's remonstrance today is Sima Guang.

Because Sima Guang represented the public opinion of the world, what the emperor feared was public opinion, not Sima Guang himself.

What does Zhang Yue represent?

Is he an admonisher? Dare he speak to the emperor like this?

The official's face darkened. If Zhang Yue had been willing to relent, there would have been room for redemption, but now that he had spoken frankly, there would be no room for maneuver between the monarch and his ministers.

When Guan Cai was talking to Zhang Yue and Lu Jie just now, he still had a smile on his face, but now his face had darkened, and an angry emotion was brewing in his heart.

The official took the letter on the case, put it down again, and said in a cold voice: "I heard that Zhang Qing is handing over many people to jail... At best, he promotes talents and does not avoid relatives, at worst, he

Let everyone be your relative."

"The selection and employment of personnel is an official weapon of the imperial court, and the appointment of prison guards is the imperial court's yamen, not the governor's yamen of Zhang Qing!"

In the Song Dynasty, all commanders, supervisors, and county guards could select officials on their own and petition the court to appoint officials. This was called appointing officials. However, Zhang Yue was not included in this list.

Although the official was furious in his heart at this moment, he still maintained restraint on his face.

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have been informed by Liu Neiquan that all the appointments and appointments in Jiaoyinjian were made by Liu Neiquan, and the decrees were obtained from the imperial court. I don't know where the words about appointing people as relatives come from?"

The official said: "Really? Why did Zhang Qing only use students from the Imperial College? Why did he fill his former classmates with important positions?"

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, the students from the Imperial Academy are all talented people from all over the world. They were recommended by the prefectures and counties and sent to the Imperial College. They have all read poetry and books, and they are all talented people. I recruit talents for the imperial court, so I use my old friendship with my classmates to recruit them.

They have the audacity to invite three times and five times, so they don't mind the humbleness of officials and are willing to submit to serving as supervisors. I don't know what's wrong with this?"

The official said: "This... the imperial student is Han Jun, and he is indeed a talented person. I can save you the trouble of recruiting an imperial student. Then what else can you do besides the imperial student? I heard that you have been entrusted by many ministers to place their nephews in Jiaoyin.

Prison, arrange dispatches. What talents do these people have?"

Zhang Yue said: "Since your Majesty talks about talents, I dare to ask your Majesty what talents are?"

"In my opinion, those imperial students who come from poor families but have outstanding talents, and each of them can do their own job are indeed talents. But there is another class. They come from official families, have been in the officialdom for a long time, and are familiar with people. They have some

What I call a resource is also a first-class talent."

The officials were shocked when they heard this. It was clear that Zhang Yue was on the job of seducing the prisoner in exchange for the so-called resources of the ministers. How could such an act of selling an official position and getting a title be so refreshing and refined?

"Is familiarity with people also a talent?" the official asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yue said: "That's right. Jiaoyinjian is also a yamen, and it is located in Luoyang, Shaanxi, and Bianjing. So you have to interact with officials and deal with various yamen in Beijing."

"If the ministers only use officials who are capable but unfamiliar with the affairs, then no matter how capable they are, they will not even be able to enter the yamen, let alone deal with the yamen."

"besides……"

Lu Hui looked on and was dumbfounded.

But when he saw Zhang Yue speaking so righteously and sternly, he was so speechless that the officials were speechless. And this long speech had no intention of stopping, but when he saw Zhang Yue speaking more and more, he became more and more excited, and for a moment he couldn't help but

White spittle spewed out of Shen's mouth and splashed on the table in front of the official.

Lu Jie became more and more confident as he listened to Zhang Yueyue's words. He actually forgot to remind him for a moment. He was surprised before, but now he found it funny.

How could any minister seize the day like this?

Is this still not enough? The spittle flying from his mouth is about to be sprayed into the official's face.

Lu Jie coughed heavily at the side. Zhang Yue listened to Lu Jie's reminder and then calmed down and said: "Rong Chen will talk about the rest later..."

You haven’t finished speaking yet? Could it be that you are a talkative?

Lu Jie thought to himself that he had really underestimated Zhang Yue. He usually looked so humble and courteous, but he had such a serious temper that he did not even leave any room for officials.

The officials couldn't help but get angry. Even though what Zhang Yue said made sense, he was a minister after all. How could he be so reasonable?

Do you, Zhang Yue, sincerely look down on me as an official?

After all, the official had just become the emperor, and he didn't know what to do before his authority was established. At this moment, he said angrily: "If you don't talk about the employment, then it is true that the accounts handed over to the prisoner are not clear!"

There is not a single official account in the world that is clear.

The official breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally gained some ground. Just when he was about to scold Zhang Yue for concealing the report of the prisoner's accounts, he saw Zhang Yue holding Bai Jian under his arm, squatting down and grabbing the boot from the boot.

He took out a thin account-like thing from it and offered it: "Your Majesty, I have always carried this account with you. I also ask your Majesty to check the account. If there is anything unclear, I will report it to you."

...He crashed his head into the golden palace and died!"

Zhang Yue pointed towards the three thick pillars in the corner of the palace, and then resolutely handed the account book to the king.

The official was also shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Yue to actually carry the account book with him. At this moment, he couldn't get Zhang Yue to do anything. At this moment, in order to save face, he couldn't help but waved his sleeves and scolded Zhang Yue: "Arrogant!"

After saying this, the official was about to leave the palace in shock and anger, but when he waved his sleeves, he found that they were motionless. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhang Yue who had grabbed his dragon sleeves.

Zhang Yue presented the account book and said like a stubborn cow: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Jie, the senior officials, exclaimed in unison.

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"
