Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 700 Ah, salary...

A moment later, Wang Ao hurriedly arrived outside the Wenhua Hall, and saw a servant looking anxiously outside from a distance.

Wang Ao also knew this person. He was a trusted eunuch under Wynn, named Li Rong, and he often delivered orders to the cabinet for Wynn.

After seeing his figure, the servant finally breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him from a distance, arched his hands hastily as a salute, and then asked.

"My lord Shou Fu just came now. All the lords of the cabinet have already arrived, and the emperor is also waiting. Hurry up and come in with our house."

The haste of these words made Wang Ao unable to get in half a sentence, really depressed.

However, it was only for a moment that Wang Ao calmed down, and became more cautious, although in his capacity, he didn't need to pay too much attention to the emotions of a servant.

However, if he only stayed at this level, Wang Ao would be the chief assistant for nothing.

You know, for eunuchs in the palace, it is a basic skill to laugh at everyone, especially after the emperor ascended the throne today, the eunuchs are very strictly restrained.

Even the famous and vicious eunuch, the admiral of the East Factory, was polite in front of the important officials of the imperial court. Although there was a suspicion of hiding a knife in his smile, after all, it represented the emperor's attitude towards eunuchs.

Under such circumstances, for an ordinary eunuch to be so impatient in front of one of his chief ministers, it could only mean that something had happened that made the eunuch even more frightened.

And there is no doubt that in the entire imperial city, the only one who has such power over life and death over eunuchs and eunuchs, who can make people tremble at the slightest thought, is the Son of Heaven!
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that in today's Wenhua Palace, the emperor's mood must be very bad, otherwise, the eunuchs who serve daily would not be so trembling.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ao straightened his robes and steadily entered the Wenhua Hall under the leadership of his servants.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the palace, Wang Ao immediately felt the oppression in the palace.

On the throne, the Son of Heaven looked gloomy, and looked down coldly. Under the imperial steps, a group of ministers stood with their hands down, with different expressions.

Zhu Jian was the calmest, obviously already adapted to the atmosphere present. Relatively speaking, the faces of Yu Shiyue and others were obviously not very good-looking. There was a bit of complaint and anger in the eyes of Zhu Jian, and at the same time, mixed with have no choice.

"Your Majesty is late, please punish me!"

After a brief glance, Wang Ao didn't dare to delay, he stepped forward quickly, prostrated himself on the ground, and said.

At the same time, several ministers next to him saw him and stepped aside one after another.

Mr. Wang is respectful and respectful, and his posture is very low, and he admits his mistake as soon as he comes up, but in this way, in fact, it is not easy for the emperor to blame him.

After all, this kind of urgent summoning requires temporary search for someone, and it is normal to delay for a while. Usually, the emperor will understand.

When Wang Ao said this, he was actually expressing it euphemistically, hoping that the emperor would not let him go.

It is true that this may make the emperor's mood even worse.

However, Lao Wang has been in Beijing for such a long time, and he has become a monkey spirit. Of course, he can see that the emperor is very angry at this time.

But the more he was like this, the more cautious and respectful he was. Normally, it would be fine to reveal a small mistake and make the emperor angry.

But now, maybe the emperor will really use him as a punching bag.

Therefore, Mr. Wang can only fight the emperor with words.

However, even so, the chief minister obviously miscalculated, because after he finished speaking, the emperor snorted lightly, and did not just expose the matter or reprimand him as he expected, but directly arrive.

"Since the chief assistant himself has admitted that he has done so, Wynn, after today's end, you go to preach the decree. Wang Ao, the chief minister of the cabinet, has delayed and neglected his position. He will be fined for one month as a punishment!"

Ah this...

Mr. Wang raised his head, with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes, this is different from the script!

He said that the crime was just an attitude, Your Majesty, how can you just go along with it like this, why don't you show your magnanimity as the emperor at this time?

However, no, not even the ministers next to him dared to speak up to defend Wang Shoufu, and everyone just watched Wynn hand in hand to accept the order.

"Okay, get up, since the chief assistant is here, why don't you take a look at this?"

After a burst of anger, the Son of Heaven seemed to be in a better mood, he picked up the memorabilia next to him, handed it to the servant next to him, and brought it to Wang Ao.

Poor Mrs. Wang trotted all the way from the cabinet, and was scolded before he understood the situation. Now he just got up and looked at the few blocks next to him, but he couldn't sit on them, so he could only take them respectfully. Look through the memorials.

However, after such a turn, the old man immediately forgot all the fatigue, and only felt a surge of energy and blood, quite a bit angry.

To put it bluntly, the cabinet master draft is to write a small ticket, attaching the general content and handling opinions of the memorandum to the end of the memorandum.

Therefore, in order to save time, Wang Ao directly looked at the small ticket at the back.

Then, he saw a long list of joint names, and Zhu Jian's "awe-inspiring" draft proposal.

At this time, Lord Wang finally knew why the Son of Heaven came up and got angry with him.

"Delay and negligence, loss of duty..."

These eight words seem to mean that he did not enter the palace in time, but in fact they mean something else.

The head of the cabinet is in charge of the drafting of votes, and the chief assistant has the right to divide the votes. This is the biggest reason why the chief assistant stands above the group of assistants.

However, with power comes responsibility. Since the chief assistant has the right to divide the votes, he must ensure that when he divides the votes, the distribution is appropriate, at least it will not cause trouble to the emperor.

But now...

Looking at the memorabilia in front of him, and remembering what Zhongshu Sheren said to him before entering the palace, Wang Ao immediately reacted.

This is Zhu Jian intercepting the memorandum sent by the Secretary of the General Administration, and then completing the proposal without sorting the votes, and sending it to the palace.

No wonder the emperor is angry!

This is indeed true, it is because of his fault in his position, although Wang Ao is not very diligent, but he is also very serious about government affairs, almost every day he will finish handling the government affairs of the day before leaving the office.

Therefore, he was very sure that he had never seen this memorial before, so it could only be sent by the Secretary of General Administration.

If he was not late today, then in theory, the Secretary of General Administration's memorandum should be sent to his public room first.

In this way, for such a major event, he will definitely not draft it with other people's votes, at least, he will not distribute it to Zhu Jian, but will draft it himself, or at least let Yu Shiyue handle it.

How could it not be like this.

After reacting, Wang Ao took a deep look at Zhu Jian at the side, his expression was exactly the same as that of Yu Shiyue and others, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his helplessness.

As for why...

Before Wang Ao could speak, he heard Zhu Jiandao from the side.

"Your Majesty, it is reasonable for the East Palace to leave the cabinet. Even if it is discussed by the ministers in the cabinet, you must not have other opinions. Besides, the cabinet is originally a group of assistants, and the ministers have the right to vote. I don't know why your majesty is so angry? "

"If your majesty really thinks that the paper drafted by me here is inappropriate, you only need to reject it and re-draft it. I am willing to listen to your majesty's instructions!"
