Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 925 Disgusting~
Therefore, when Yu Cifu entered the palace, what he got was the result that a group of people had negotiated...

"Pass the decree, order Yiming, a Hanlin scholar, to concurrently serve as a scholar of Zuochunfang University, order Liu Dingzhi, a lecturer in the Hanlin, to be transferred to Zuo Yude, and Chen Wen, to be transferred to Zuo Shuzi, so as to enrich the East Palace and assist the prince!"

When Yu Shiyue entered the palace, he just heard the emperor order the servants beside him to write down the oral order and take it to the cabinet to draft an edict.

Seeing him and Wang Ao coming in, the Son of Heaven naturally stopped and asked.

"Mr. Yu, as an official in the Prince's Mansion, do you think these manpower arrangements are appropriate?"

Ah this...

Yu Cifu's face darkened, he glanced at the other people present, and couldn't help but hold his breath.

The current situation is obviously settled, so what can he say?

Isn't it fun to choke with the emperor?

After staring at Wang Wen, Chen Xun, and Chen Yi for a moment, Yu Cifu cupped his hands and said.

"Everything is at the discretion of His Majesty!"

Facing Yu Shiyue's obviously displeased eyes, Wang Wen and the other three also had wry smiles on their faces.

At this time, the emperor nodded, put the matter aside, and then spoke.

"I have summoned you gentlemen this time for two matters. The first one is the matter of the Eastern Palace. Recently, there have been many courtiers writing about the benevolence, virtue and wisdom of the prince. Since he has left the cabinet to study, the officials of the prince's mansion should not delay it for a long time."

"It just so happened that Yu Cifu recommended Liu Dingzhi, Chen Wen, and Li Shao to me. After they were transferred to the East Palace, there were still six vacancies for officials above the sixth rank in the Prince's Mansion."

"Since the chief assistant and the second assistant have also come, let's discuss together. Do these six vacancies need to be filled? If so, is there anyone who can recommend them?"

The words of the emperor have already made it clear.

However, this question is really not very easy to answer.

The Prince's departure from the cabinet to prepare the mansion has gone through many twists and turns. Even today, even the many ministers present may not dare to say clearly what the emperor's intentions are.

Therefore, under this situation, several ministers present all looked at Yu Shiyue who had just arrived.

? ? !

Yu Cifu blinked his eyes, already scolding the sky in his heart.

Dare these people pull him over just to get him to come over?

***, ***, ***!

After glaring at the old guys in front of her one by one, Yu Shiyue calmed down after all.

This matter, if he is not here, forget it.

However, since he came here, then, of course, he should be the first to express his attitude.

After all, the prince is young now, so he, Zhan Shi of the prince's mansion, is naturally the representative of the East Palace.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for Wang Wen and others to let him come over.

After comforting herself for a while, Yu Shiyue pondered for a moment, but put all her emotions behind her, and said.

"Your Majesty, I think it's wrong!"

The so-called those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. After staying with Yu Qian for a long time, Yu Shiyue has gradually acquired his outspoken style.

This is especially evident after Yu Qian left Beijing.

Under everyone's slightly surprised gazes, Yu Shiyue spoke unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that His Majesty the Crown Prince is still young. Although he is gifted and intelligent, he is still able to read and write. The officials of the Crown Prince's Mansion use the Zhan Shi Mansion to handle daily affairs and assist the East Palace. For now, that's enough."

"The reason why I recommended the three of Liu Dingzhi to enter the East Palace is because these three have been in the Imperial Academy for a long time and have outstanding talents and learning. In the new year, His Royal Highness will start to study the scriptures and re-open the East Palace Sutra Banquet. With Ni Qian, Wan An, and Xu Youzhen accompanying them, it seems a little insufficient."

"Combined with Xiao Xueshi's dismissal, Donggong needs to add lecturers, so there is such a discussion."

"Now, His Majesty has allowed the three of them to enter the East Palace, and appointed a Bachelor of Yi to concurrently serve as a Bachelor of Zuochunfang University. In this way, it is more than enough to hold a sutra feast."

"Therefore, I believe that before His Highness the Crown Prince enters the court to listen to the government, the officials of the East Palace do not need to add any more, otherwise, there may be suspicion of redundancy."

These words were done in one go, without any regard for the wonderful expressions of the bosses at the side.

They have long felt that Yu Shiyue's style has become more direct and sharp recently than before.

However, he did not expect that he would go directly to this point.

It should be said that what Yu Shiyue said was not unreasonable.

The entire organizational system of the Eastern Palace is actually prepared for the prince to participate in politics. Now that the prince is young, he doesn't really need so many officials.

However, reason is reason, and such words are somewhat offending.

Again, the current crown prince has a special status, so issues involving the crown prince, whether it is support or opposition, require more consideration.

Once Yu Shiyue's words got out, it could easily be regarded as deliberately suppressing the crown prince. If someone with ulterior motives might think that Yu Shiyue harbored evil intentions and intended to shake the foundation.

So in fact, this is also the reason why many ministers are unwilling to express their attitude first.

After listening to Yu Shiyue's words, the emperor showed a look of thinking, and after a while, he asked.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of what Yu Cifu said?"

Among the people present, the one who least needed to consider the issue of position was Wang Tianguan.

Although he is the emperor's confidant, on the issue of the prince, Mr. Wang has always had a clear stand and feels that there is no need to be too anxious.

Therefore, the voice of the Son of Heaven fell, and Wang Wen was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, I think what Yu Cifu said is reasonable."

"Since the return of the Supreme Emperor, the court has been quite uneasy. There have always been some young people who have made a big fuss by taking advantage of His Highness the Crown Prince's departure from the cabinet to prepare a mansion. What's more, spread rumors, which will damage His Majesty's morality and alienate the relationship between the heavenly family. "

"Your Majesty is merciful and doesn't care about it. However, this trend is getting worse and worse. In fact, according to my opinion, His Royal Highness has not yet read all the characters. Yu Cifu is in charge of the Zhan Shifu, and there are other lectures by the left and right Chunfang University scholars. That's it."

"The rest of the officials can wait until His Royal Highness enters the court to listen to the government, and then prepare them."

"However, the ministers in the court, regardless of the current situation of the Eastern Palace, insisted on admonishing His Majesty to add more officials to the Eastern Palace for various purposes. This is not beneficial to His Royal Highness, but actually harmful."

"Therefore, I agree with Yu Cifu's words that the Crown Prince's Mansion already has redundant personnel, and it is not appropriate to make more additions."

It has to be said that the words of this lord Tianguan are still uncomfortable to listen to as always.

What Yu Shiyue said was relatively subtle and tactful, but when it came to Wang Wen, he was almost directly accusing someone in the court of using the crown prince as a cover to seek personal gain for themselves.

If it is another occasion, forget it.

Because what Wang Wen said was true, since this period of time, there have been a constant stream of ministers of civil and military affairs who have asked to add officials to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Some of these people are ministers who are close to the Supreme Emperor, such as Zhu Yi, Zhu Jian and others. Some are for the so-called etiquette, some are inspired, and some are for their own interests...

There are so many different things.

What Wang Wen said was harsh, but it was the truth.

But the problem is that Chen Xun in this hall is accompanied by Yu Shiyue who recommended officials to enter the East Palace just now, and Chen Xun who encouraged Yu Shiyue behind his back.

In this case, Mr. Wang's words are somewhat accusing Sang Huai.

Therefore, after his words fell, Chen Xun on the side obviously couldn't hold back, and said.

"My lord Tianguan's words are wrong."

"The official position in the East Palace is established by the code, and it is set up to assist His Highness the Crown Prince. It is not uncommon for the Crown Prince to leave the cabinet at a young age. They are all gradually equipped with subordinate officials for the East Palace. Although it is true that His Highness the Crown Prince does not attend the court today, However, there is no need to stop recruiting officials from the Eastern Palace because of this."

Hearing this, Wang Wen's eyes lit up.

Hey, old boy, are you here now?

He was first attracted by Chen Xun as a target in the court hall, and he was choked again just now, and now he is depressed about how to get the place back.

As a result, Chen Xun jumped out by himself.

Elder Wang took a deep breath and said.

"Chen Shangshu's words are really wrong."

"Your Majesty's emphasis on the East Palace is far more important than that of previous dynasties. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is not His Majesty's own son, His Majesty regards it as his own."

"Before His Highness the Crown Prince left the cabinet, His Majesty was worried that His Highness would be too young to be burdened. His love and care were beyond words. The subsequent officials all asked that although the Crown Prince was young, his education should not be handed over to the eunuchs. His Majesty will allow the Crown Prince to leave the cabinet."

"Afterwards, when dealing with affairs, His Majesty will ask questions carefully, and check all the details of His Highness the Crown Prince's departure from the cabinet one by one, and even set up officials in the Beifu, and the officials in the East Palace. Regardless of their rank, Your Majesty must be cautious. Only by listening to his character and reputation can he dare to let him enter the prince's mansion to teach."

These words are really...

nausea!

Even though they already knew that Wang Wen had always respected the Son of Heaven very much, the elders still couldn't help but get goosebumps when they heard Wang Wen's words.

If you really want to say that there is something wrong with Wang Wen's words, then it is not.

But, I don't know why, but it always sounds wrong.

I don't know if the ministers of the outer dynasty will collapse if they see such flattering words from the majestic officials.

Anyway, the three views of the elders present were greatly impacted.

Taking a deep breath, the elders erased the words they just heard from their minds, and at the same time raised their spirits.

If there is no accident, these are all foreshadowing. No matter how much Wang Wen is the emperor's confidant, it is impossible for him to flatter him endlessly.

What's more, the emperor doesn't like this kind of flattery, so in the end, it must be implemented.

Sure enough, Wang Wen then said.

"The establishment of the East Palace in the past dynasties is that the officials of the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu, Fang, and Bureau served concurrently. His Majesty loved and respected His Royal Highness the Prince, and separated the two officials, so that the officials of the East Palace were dedicated to teaching and assisting the Prince. As a result, the officials of the East Palace were under great pressure. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the past."

While speaking, Wang Wen turned around and said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others know that His Majesty loves and respects the Crown Prince, but now that the Imperial Academy and the Prince's Mansion have been separated, each of them has their own assignments, depending on the specific situation of the East Palace."

"If you blindly add officials to the East Palace, you will be redundant officials. It may be detrimental to the growth of His Highness the Crown Prince. I implore Your Majesty to think twice."

After the words fell, the elders on the side couldn't help but smack their lips.

Wang Wen, an old man, is really not easy to deal with.

Anyone who thinks that he has no intentions and speaks carelessly will be cheated to death by him sooner or later.

Hearing what he said, first he praised the emperor fiercely, and he closely linked the emperor's dear prince with his words, and then gradually led to the relationship between the Imperial Academy and the prince's mansion, and finally put on a dignified look, Advise the emperor not to waste court resources just because he attaches too much importance to the prince.

What he said, let him take away all the face.

More importantly, he blocked Chen Xun's words casually.

Originally, if he directly said that it is not appropriate to add more because there are few affairs in the Prince's Mansion, then Chen Xun can take advantage of the situation and propose that the officials of the Prince's Mansion continue to work part-time in the Imperial Academy.

However, Wang Wen stated that the reason why the emperor separated the Imperial Academy and the Prince's Mansion was because he valued the prince, so he bet on this gap as a matter of course.

At this time, if we want to restore the old system, it means not paying attention to the prince and the East Palace.

After thinking about this, the elders all looked at Chen Xun at the same time, but saw that his brows were slightly wrinkled, but in the end, they didn't speak any more.

Seeing that the debate below had come to an end, the emperor looked at the other ministers below one by one, and seeing that they had no objections, he nodded and said.

"Since both Yu Cifu and the Heavenly Official share this view, then it is decided that the officials of the Crown Prince's mansion will be tentatively decided to be like this. In the future, we will start the banquet, and even when the Crown Prince is older, we will discuss it after he participates in political affairs."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the ministers immediately stood up and saluted, and the matter was settled.

Although it has not gone through the court discussion, but with people like them, this matter does not need to go through the court meeting.

After all, this kind of thing can be regarded as a matter for everyone to communicate with each other, as long as they have a solid foundation in their hearts.

It is not easy for the court to accomplish something, but it is very simple to delay one thing.

Although Hu Wei and Shen Yi were missing, one of these two drank tea and dozed off every day, and the other was obsessed with money. They didn't have much interest in these things.

After sitting down again, the emperor continued to speak.

"Apart from the matter of the Prince's Mansion, the second matter is about the cheating in the palace examination last time!"

If it is said that the affairs of the officials in the East Palace are important, but they do not involve much with the people present, and it will not have much impact on the court situation.

Then, the weight of the palace examination is obviously much heavier.

However, what puzzled the ministers was, isn't this matter already over?

I didn't see that Du Ning, who is in charge of this case, has already been promoted and left Beijing. Could it be that there is something left unsettled?

Seeing the expressions of the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu didn't give in, and said sternly.

"Nowadays, the people who participated in the palace examination fraud have been punished, but, as Chen Shangshu said in the palace last time, this case is just an appearance, behind it is the fact that the imperial court has dared not do things for many years, wisely protects itself, and only does everything. It will be caused by Xiao Gui Cao Sui's ethos."

"If this trend can't be reversed, there will only be more and more cases of mutual protection between officials and officials like cheating in the imperial examination. Therefore, although this case has been closed, this trend cannot be tolerated!"
