Jinyi champion

Cabinet value.

Zhang Zuo met Yang Tinghe and others on behalf of the emperor, and conveyed the results of the emperor's punishment of the Hanlin and prison students who had been imprisoned.

"...put it in various mines and worked for two months. It was a bit hard work, but people went to say hello. I won't do the work that is too hard. Make arrangements for daily life and food. It's just going to experience some experience, and so on. After two months, the official will return to his original post, which will not affect his future career promotion..."

Zhang Zuo spoke very softly, with a discussing tone.

Yang Tinghe didn't say anything.

Mao Ji approached and asked, "Isn't this like exile?"

"Ha ha."

Zhang Zuo smiled, "Old Maoge, you can't say that."

Mao Ji wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Jiang Mian.

It is clear.

The emperor sent envoys not to discuss matters with them, but to convey the final punishment result.

Your cabinet can arbitrarily mix opinions on court affairs, and even on mining taxes and other matters, you can directly force back the emperor's decision and make the six ministries refuse to implement it...

But now the emperor is making a fuss about his private land, that is, the imperial prison, and the punishment of those scribes is also well-known. If you want to fight again, the emperor will directly ask people to beat up those people in the imperial prison , dying and then releasing the person, I asked you what is wrong?

Now it is equivalent to avoiding the pain of flesh and blood of all the people, and changing to a place for two months of experience.

The emperor also sent Zhang Zuo, the inner minister, to convey his opinions, which was considered a great deal of face to the cabinet members.

At this time, if I really thought that Zhang Zuo represented a gentle emperor, I would be very wrong. The only ones who suffered would be those scribes who still lost their personal freedom in the imperial prison.

Yang Tinghe asked, "When will the devolution be arranged? The Chinese New Year is coming soon."

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty means to implement it immediately, but the Empress Dowager Xingguo pleaded with Her Majesty, saying that people's hearts are long and they should be lenient. This is also to do good for the Empress Dowager, so Your Majesty allowed them to return to the mansion for a day. After the family affairs are settled, Jin Yiwei will send them to various mines to work.”

"Um……"

Yang Tinghe breathed heavily.

But I also feel that this is a way to ease the conflict between the monarch and his ministers.

The emperor was very merciful. Originally, he was exiled, and he was not given the opportunity to see his family members. If he wanted to see them, he could only let his family members visit him in his cell. , and then leave the capital to work as a coolie for two months...

The meaning of exile was downplayed, and it was more like being sent out to perform a mission.

Jiang Mian saw that Yang Tinghe did not make a statement, and he also understood that Yang Tinghe's identity could not directly agree. After all, Yang Tinghe agreed, and others would think that he did not speak for those scribes, which violated his status as the head of civil servants.

Jiang Mian laughed and said, "That's fine too. I hope Eunuch Zhang greets the managers everywhere and asks them to do some clerical work instead of the hard work that Li Fu does. That would be great."

"It's natural."

Zhang Zuo responded with a smile.

After Yang Tinghe acquiesced, it meant that the punishment for those scribes was decided.

……

……

The matter is established, the news spreads to all parts of the court, and different people have different ideas in their hearts.

But most people feel that this matter is picked up heavily, but put down gently.

It seems to be a kind of painstaking practice for two months, but it is actually a kind of experience. A group of feeble scholars who have no strength and can only write pens are sent to work in the mine for two months, regardless of what they are doing. Letting him get in touch with the middle and lower classes in society, isn't it a kind of practice accumulation of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles?

Why do you scholars not have to work?
For ordinary people, this is simply a matter of clapping their hands.

The point is that the emperor did not torture this group of people, and this time it was not exile, but exile, and the returning officials were reinstated, which did not have much impact on their official careers, which made the political factors of this matter down again.

The matter was settled in this way, without going to prison, and the Sanfa Division did not participate.

Among them, even Yang Tinghe acquiesced, so no one came out to say anything.

All the scribes finally got out of the prison cells where they were held for three days. After returning home for a day of visits, they were about to leave for their assigned mines.

There are two destinations.

Those who committed serious crimes went to Xishan Coal Mine, while those who committed minor crimes went to Yongpingfu Iron Mine. Work is dirty and tiring...

Zhu Hao was the chief signatory, along with almost all the imprisoned students and several colleagues from the Imperial Academy, they were sent to the Xishan Coal Mine for labor reform.

……

……

The scribes went home and made preparations.

The Imperial Academy lacked many colleagues, and it seemed particularly deserted at this time.

Yang Shen was sitting alone at the desk sorting out the manuscript, his expression was very depressed, he didn't move from the desk all morning, as if he wanted to use work to numb his heart.

When Yu Chengxun came in, he saw that there was no one in the editing room except Yang Shen. He suddenly remembered that in fact, except for the two of them, the rest of the editing room was taken care of by one person. After the completion of the Shu Jishi, those who read and lecture may be even busier.

Fortunately, there is no banquet in winter, otherwise, a noble and peaceful yamen like the Hanlin Academy would also face the dilemma of insufficient manpower.

"Yongxiu, why are you here? The festival is coming soon, it's time to prepare."

Yu Chengxun wanted to use something else to attract Yang Shen's attention.

Yang Shen raised his head and glanced at Yu Chengxun: "I originally planned to take the initiative to ask to play, and to be exiled with them for two months."

"Ah, this..."

Yu Chengxun hesitated.

You, Yang Shen, are trying to make yourself feel better, and take the initiative to take responsibility for the crime, right?

"But I remembered again, if I leave the capital, who will work for my father in the Hanlin Academy? For the sake of the overall situation, I can't leave." Yang Shen said.

Yu Chengxun smiled.

I thought, fortunately, you didn't take the initiative to ask for a job.

I don't care if you are really afraid that no one will do things for your father, or if you are just afraid of suffering and not taking responsibility, at least if you don't invite me, I don't have to follow your example.

You are the instigator, and I am not far behind. If you really want to bear the crime, then can I stay out of it?
"Yongxiu did the right thing. I believe those colleagues can understand that His Majesty's move is basically aimed at civil servants. If you ask for your order, maybe they will be punished more severely. It's not as good as it is now. In fact, it can be regarded as turning hostility into friendship." Yu Chengxun spoke to comfort Yang Shen.

It's a good thing that you don't invite Ying. We don't have to go to the mine to work as coolies together, and it can also reduce the crimes of those scribes.

Who can't say beautiful words?
"Ugh!"

Yang Shen sighed suddenly, "But I'm afraid that they won't be able to return to the capital."

"what?"

Yu Chengxun looked puzzled, even a bit shocked.

What do you mean by that?
The emperor intends to intercept them halfway?

Or are you going to exhaust them to death in the mine?

Yang Shendao: "I heard from my father that the imperial court wants to transfer a group of officials. Previously, the Ministry of Officials has been considering the results of the evaluation and appointment and dismissal of the officials. His Majesty has been considering arrangements as appropriate, and I am afraid that it is just for their transfer."

"This……"

After hearing Yang Shen's words, Yu Chengxun felt that there was some truth in it.

In the past, the new emperor was very concerned about the appointment and dismissal of officials reported by the Ministry of Officials, especially for the many official vacancies in the central and local governments. Arrangements have been made on the Internet, and there are many unresolved issues.

It just so happened that all the imperial courts jointly discussed the funeral ceremony of Queen Mother Shao. Didn't the emperor take advantage of it?

Yang Shen sighed: "It was because I didn't think carefully enough that His Majesty seized the loophole. This Imperial Academy is originally a place where the imperial court is pure and clear. They should have a great future, not for any party... I was the one who delayed them." future."

Yang Shen from
to blame.

Yu Chengxun really wanted to say, are you a boudoir and dissatisfied woman now?

Thinking about everything blindly, and taking everything on yourself?
Besides, these are just your guesses. Didn't the emperor say that the official will be reinstated after two months of labor reform?Why do you think they will be released?

Yang Shen suddenly became very depressed, supported his head with his hands, lowered his head, and said in a mournful tone, "How will father value me in the future?"

heard here.

Only then did Yu Chengxun fully understand.

Yang Shen felt that a group of people in the Hanlin Academy, because of a joint performance, involved such a big dispute in the Hanlin Academy, which was supposed to avoid court affairs. In the future, the value of the Imperial Academy will drop greatly. Yang Shen, who was arranged by Yang Tinghe to work in the Imperial Academy, will naturally lose his sense of existence in Yang Tinghe's eyes.

Coupled with the matter of Shangshu's persuasion, Yang Shen's lack of signature caused the Yang family's father and son's prestige in the court to drop greatly.

Yang Tinghe said that he understood his son's difficulties, but how could he entrust the eldest son with important responsibilities in the future?

Since you can't do anything, then you should be idle!
Or a little errand work, you can do it for a while, so you don't want to achieve great things in the future.

"Ah."

Yu Chengxun understood that Yang Shen was complaining about himself.

But in fact, Yang Shen's analysis is also suitable for Yu Chengxun.

Previously, Yang Tinghe cared very much about controlling the public opinion of the imperial court, but to control public opinion, put the little emperor in a position of misbehavior, regulate the behavior of the little emperor, and let the little emperor stop when it comes to major matters... All this is due to the noble imperial officials and Kodao Yanguan to complete.

You can't let a group of senior officials in the court do the things of admonishing and admonishing, can you?

The people of the Imperial Academy and the officials of the Kodao were used as cannon fodder.

To put it bluntly, Yang Tinghe's way of controlling the little emperor is to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion.

Now that the Imperial Academy has been wiped out, if Yang Tinghe wants to control public opinion, the value of the Imperial Academy will drop greatly. Yang Shen and Yu Chengxun are both Yang Tinghe's pawns in the Imperial Academy. Then Yang Shen and Yu Chengxun will be regarded as abandoned children in the next step.

Yu Chengxun said: "Yongxiu, if your Majesty wants to go his own way, let those colleagues be transferred, otherwise we... can also apply for transfer!"

Since the value of the Imperial Academy to Yang Tinghe has dropped greatly, why are you still staying at the Imperial Academy?

Yang Shen shook his head and said, "No matter what, the Imperial Academy cannot give up!"

Yu Chengxun thought to himself, okay, even if he is treated as an outcast, he still can't bear to bear the prominent status of an imperial official, no wonder you would never get tired of being a resentful woman!
