Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 232

The next day, morning came.

Cheng Jing came to Qianqing Palace with another stack of memorials, put it in front of Zhu Qiyu, and said.

"Your Majesty, the high cabinet of the cabinet has its roots, and the ministers have been placed at the top."

Zhu Qiyu was slightly surprised.

Logically speaking, the imperial decree should have been sent to the cabinet, and he should be dismissed from the position of Hanlin bachelor. This punishment is already very heavy.

He originally thought that Chen Xun and Gao Gu would live in peace for a while, but he didn't want to start tormenting again after only the second day?
I took the memorial and looked at it carefully.

A moment later, Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial, stroked his chin, and asked with a playful smile on his face.

"There is no proposal on this melody, did Gao Gu submit it directly?"

Cheng Jing replied: "Go back to the emperor, no."

"Old Gao Ge sent this memorial to the Secretary of General Affairs first according to the rules. However, because this memorial was submitted by Gao Ge and the content involves Chen Ge, they are not suitable for drafting."

"Master Shoufu said that the matter is of great importance and it involves the cabinet. He dare not preside over it, so he didn't draft it and submitted it directly to the imperial court."

The imperial government has its own procedures for handling government affairs.

Generally speaking, courtiers are sloppy in their speeches and matters, except for secret memorials, they must be sent to the Secretary of General Administration first.

Then the Secretary of the General Administration will judge the urgency of the matter, and submit it to the imperial court in turn, and then the emperor will approve it.

Regardless of whether it is approved or rejected, the memorial will be sent back to the Secretary of General Administration, and then distributed to the person who made the memorial.

Of course, this was the case before.

Since the emperor granted the cabinet the right to draft bills, memorials still had to be sent to the Secretary of General Administration first.

However, the Secretary of the General Administration will not directly submit it to the imperial court, but to the cabinet, and after the cabinet drafts it, it will be submitted to the imperial court.

Among them, of course, also include the memorials of the cabinet ministers themselves.

The cabinet is a group auxiliary system.

In other words, every auxiliary minister has the right to vote.

A memorandum, in theory, only needs a cabinet draft to be submitted to the imperial court.

The biggest difference between Shoufu and other cabinet ministers is that he has the right to share votes.

Simply put, it is the power to arrange who will handle which aspect of affairs.

For example, in the current cabinet.

Wang Ao was responsible for drafting the memos concerning the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment; Chen Xunlai drafted the memos involving the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry; Gao Gulai drafted the memos involving the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites.

The same is true for the memorials of other monasteries and localities, which have different distributions.

This division of responsibilities is carried out by the first assistant, and this is where the so-called main authority of the first assistant lies.

He can freely divide, who will be responsible for which aspects of the memo drafting, this division can only be adjusted by the chief assistant.

This is also the most obvious feature that the first assistant position is higher than other assistant ministers.

But there will also be special cases, that is, the cabinet ministers' own memorials.

No matter what the content is, in order to avoid suspicion, the cabinet often arranges other irrelevant cabinet ministers to draft proposals after receiving the memorial from the Secretary of the General Administration.

The cabinet now has only three cabinet ministers.

This melody was originally written by Gao Gu, and the content involved Chen Xun, so Wang Ao could only draft it.

However, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel yesterday, and everyone in the government and the opposition knew it.

At this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Ao didn't have a proposal at all, and directly submitted it intact.

After hearing Cheng Jing's words, Zhu Qiyu's smile grew even wider.

Wang Ao is not a person who is afraid of rumors. This kind of situation can only show that he is unwilling to let Gao Gu's memorial go through.

It is not a vote, sometimes it is also an attitude.

but……

Zhu Qiyu picked up the Zhubi, wrote a line of words on the memorial, handed it back to Cheng Jing's eyes, and said.

"You go to the Ministry of Officials and ask them to revise the list of officials recommended by the court, and then say hello to the officials in the court who are close to you, and say..."

Cheng Jing took the playbook, took a look, and was shocked.

Hearing the emperor's order again, he nodded and said.

"Don't worry, the emperor, the ministers will do it right away, but since you have approved the memorial, do you want the cabinet to draft an edict immediately?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said.

"No, you should keep this memorandum for now, and release it after the court pushes it down tomorrow."

…………

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily.

It has been less than half a month since the imperial court sealed it.

The so-called seal literally means to seal the official seal and suspend office work!
This is different from ordinary rest and mu. In ordinary times, even if officials are on holiday, they still carry their official seals with them, and normal official duties will not be delayed.

But during the sealing period, unless it is an extremely urgent military matter, all official affairs will not be handled.

Thanks to the workaholic spirit of Taizu and his elders, the sealing time of Daming was very late and very short, from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first lunar month, a total of four days.

However, although there is still some time before the seal, except for the Ministry of Rites, the efficiency of most government offices in the imperial court has dropped a lot.

Everyone is busy preparing new year's goods, ready to welcome the arrival of the new year's festival.

However, today is a very different day for the courtiers.

Because, at today's court meeting, the old heavenly official will preside over it, and it may be his last court push in the court!
Outside the Wenhua Palace, it was snowing heavily.

The officials in the hall stood in awe.

The old heaven official stood in the hall, with his back to the emperor, facing the ministers, said.

"According to His Majesty's will, the three cabinet ministers will nominate ten and recommend five to submit to the Holy Order."

"Ten candidates for the cabinet, the list is Yu Shiyue, Minister of Dali Temple, Jiang Yuan, Minister of Criminal Affairs, Zhang Min, Minister of Industry, Wang Yining, Minister of Rites, Xu Bin, Minister of Taichang Temple, and Yu Shan, Minister of Taipu Temple..."

The heavenly official has presided over this kind of thing many times, and the process is already familiar.

It's just that the number of people recommended by the court this time is really a bit too much. After reading the long list and resumes, the heavenly officials are a little dry.

The process of Ting Tui may seem simple, but it is actually extremely complicated.

It is natural to be cautious when it comes to senior officials above the third rank.

Take these candidates as an example, it is not possible for the Ministry of Officials to choose whoever they want.

Generally speaking, before the official court push, the Seven Ministers and the cabinet will hold a small-scale meeting under the auspices of the Ministry of Officials.

Although the cabinet ministers have requirements for rank, but in the imperial court, officials of the third rank and above say no more, no less.

Various ministries, academies, monasteries, plus the big officials of the frontiers from all over the country, there are at least a hundred and ten people who are eligible to be selected.

But there are only ten candidates that Ting pushed.

How to choose?

Of course, the bigwigs are the first to draw a wave, recommending officials who they think are qualified to be candidates, and explaining the reasons.

If the quota is exceeded, it will naturally be a quarrel (crossed out), and the final result will be discussed.

Then, after the court push, the second round of large-scale selection will be carried out, and the candidate list will be finalized and submitted to the Holy Tribunal.

That's right, the shortlist, not the end result!
