Dajin royal family

Chapter 235 Great Dynasty ([-])

"See Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty will last forever!"

The congratulatory voices of the courtiers sounded in the Guangming Palace, surging back and forth in the palace like tides and waves.

The emperor wears twelve crowns of jade, and twelve chapters of yellow silk gown, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, dragons, mountains, flowers, birds, fish, insects, Zongyi and so on.

Unlike Jiang Chengxiao's impression, in this solemn and solemn Guangming Palace, the emperor is not at an absolute high level.Taking the kneeling position of the emperor as the absolute central reference point, there are red carpets on both sides, and a futon is placed at each position on the carpet, and the ministers are kneeling on it.

The aisle in the middle is as wide as three people. The emperor is facing the gate of the Guangming Palace, and his position is also the center of the entire Chang'an imperial city, the projection of Emperor Ziwei in the world.

The lower left hand of the emperor is the crown prince. Today the crown prince is wearing a yellow silk gown with nine chapters. After seeing the ceremony, he knelt on the futon with a look of lovelessness, as if he had lost his soul.

On the opposite side of the prince, that is, the lower right hand of the emperor is King Qi.

It is worth mentioning that the position of the prince and the king of Qi is closer to the emperor and farther from the ministers below.

The ministers are naturally divided into two sides, with three columns on each side.Left Prime Minister Gao Xun is the leader on the left, and Right Prime Minister Yang Taisu is on the right. Behind them are the officials of the Six Departments of Shangshu, Shilang, Yushi, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Zong Temple, and Sinong Temple.

Zhao Wang is the minister and the clan, and the two of them, Wang Jiangxiong and Guan Wang, kneel and sit in a separate position, which is between the position of the prince and the position of ministers.

Jiang Chengxiao was originally not eligible to be included in the great dynasty according to his official rank, but this time he made great contributions in Qingzhou, the emperor specially allowed him to go to the court, and because of his clan status, he was present beside his father King Zhao.

After the ministers saw the ceremony, A Weng, the eunuch who served the emperor, began to "blow" routinely.

The so-called 'blowing', to put it bluntly, is to review what happened before and praise the emperor's achievements. In short, he talked a lot of classical Chinese, and Jiang Chengxiao felt like dozing off.

"cough."

King Zhao beside him coughed lightly, reminding Jiang Chengxiao to cheer up.

This kid has a big heart, the emperor can see it at a glance, and he dares to doze off.

Hearing the sound of coughing, Jiang Chengxiao pulled himself together and turned his eyes around curiously.

The grand court at the end of the month was still very serious. The officials knelt on the futons, their heads half bowed, as if they were listening carefully.

Among them, he met many acquaintances.

For example, Minister of Rites Xiao Dan, Yu Shinan, Pei Ju, Zheng Shanyuan and so on.

Ok? !

Just when his eyes swept over Pei Ju, he also saw Jiang Chengxiao, and he showed a faint smile.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't smile back at him. This is a very serious place. If the censor caught him in the pigtails and was accused of 'disobeying etiquette', he would have to face several punishments.

About half an hour later, A Weng finally finished reading the court speech, and he looked down at the emperor.

The emperor nodded, cleared his throat, "What's the matter, gentlemen?"

Here, the real drama begins.

After the emperor finished asking, a censor got up from his seat, walked to the middle with a bowed body, bowed first, and then raised his voice: "In July of the third year of Hongye, the inspectors of the six counties of Shandong came to Qi County to complete the inspection. Investigate the corruption case of all the officials, there are witnesses and evidences, the crime is unforgivable, please punish your majesty clearly, so as to show your subjects!"

"can."

The emperor nodded and looked at Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao got up, went to the middle, bowed his body and saluted, and then reported: "The minister found Ge Huan, the governor of Qi County, and the county captain Song Jinwei, a total of 110 and five officials, all confessed to his crimes."

These were all made by King Zhao to rehearse in advance when he went to court today. It took a while to talk about it, but he still clearly explained all the crimes of corrupt officials in Qi County, including the simple process of investigating the case.

After finishing speaking, the officials below did not talk about it, and were still very quiet.After all, they had received rumors about this kind of thing a few days ago.

Wei Shilun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, came out and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I believe that Ge Huan's crimes of covering up officials under his rule for corruption and poisoning the people are unforgivable. If he is the leader of the barbarians, all the officials under him will be beheaded as an example."

Jiang Chengxiao's eyelids twitched. Why is this guy named Wei Shilun so poisonous? He comes from the barbarians. This guy is simply a cruel official.

After Wei Shilun finished speaking, Xiao Dan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this move is a little too much. Although Ge Huan's crime is unforgivable, he has not reached the level of the Yi tribe. I think that if he is the leader, the man of Ge's mansion All the female relatives are exiled into the army, and all they have to do is not enter the priest's workshop."

Jiang Chengxiao: "."

What is the difference between you and Wei Shilun?
"Yes." The emperor nodded.

After this discussion was over, another censor stood up.

"Your Majesty, the inspectors of the six counties in Shandong suppressed the mobs in Donglai County, and discovered that Fan Shang, the governor of Donglai County, had colluded with the bandit leader Cui Qi and Song Jingang. This is an unforgivable crime. Your Majesty, please punish them clearly to show your subjects."

Next, the emperor looked at Jiang Chengxiao again.Both of these things have something to do with him, and he had to stand up and explain.

After he finished speaking, Wei Shilun, Minister of Criminal Affairs, immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, I think that Fan Shang colluded with the rebels and rebelled, and all the officials involved in the case of the Yi clan and Donglai County were the leaders, and all their relatives were enlisted in the army!"

Jiang Chengxiao: "."

Are all the people in the Ministry of Justice so irritable? There are three tribes of barbarians at every turn, three tribes of barbarians for big things, three tribes of barbarians for small things, and three tribes of barbarians for small things.

But this time Xiao Dan didn't stand up, and being involved in treason is a capital crime.

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

At this time, Dali Temple Secretary Zheng Shanyuan stood up, walked to the middle and bowed, and said, "I want to report to Your Majesty, the Duke of Langya County investigated the corrupt officials of Qi County, Thunder suppressed the mob, and found out that Fan Shang was colluding with the rebels. I think this is a reward. "

Zheng Shanyuan's words fell, and no one refuted them. After all, Langya County Duke's achievements are here, and he deserves to be rewarded.

It's just that Zheng Shanyuan's enthusiasm for jumping out to reward his grandson is really disgusting to many people, among them is Duguzheng who witnessed the heat stroke in Zheng Shanyuan's imperial study that day.

Jiang Chengxiao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, these are what I should do, and it is my duty."

Well, this is what King Zhao taught him in advance, and he must decline before offering a reward.

This is also a custom, and it belongs to the rules agreed between officials and officials.After all, everyone is a dignified aristocrat, so how can you say such a thing as a reward openly and directly, first excuse yourself.

It belongs to the modesty of officials.

The emperor smiled lightly and said, "It should be rewarded."

As soon as the words fell, A Weng, who had prepared long ago, took out the imperial decree from his sleeve and opened it, and said in a loud voice: "Holy Yu: Qing Que, son of the clan, was granted the title of inspector in June of the third year of Hongye, and entered Shandong. , the champion general, stationed in northern Xinjiang. Give gold. His wife, the eldest Sun, is a virtuous and virtuous man. I hereby confer the order of the second rank to Hongye for three years and September."

Afterwards are the rewards of gold, silver, pearls and jade, the land deed of the house, and the promotion of eldest Sun Qingyi's imperial rank and so on.

Hearing this edict at first, Jiang Chengxiao was stunned for a moment.Not only he was stunned, but also Zheng Shanyuan, Pei Ju and others were all stunned.

All the ministers present had guessed that the emperor would reward Jiang Chengxiao heavily, but they never expected it to be this.

Became the sheriff of any county at the age of 16?
Or the champion general, stationed in northern Xinjiang?

What is this? Is it possible that he should be allowed to control the frontier troops of Liaodong, Liucheng, and Yan?

Isn't this too child's play? Although the tribes in the Liaodong area are very quiet, it is no problem to send this young general to go there to be gilded, but it is too much to be the prefect of a county, to be in charge of both the government and the army.

Jiang Chengxiao's concerns were different from those of these ministers. The reason why he was stunned was that Liaodong was a cold place and the birds didn't shit.

So what about the prefect of a county, how many people can he have under his command?

It was King Zhao who responded first.

"Your Majesty, this can't be the case. How can a county sheriff play tricks? Qingque can't do it now."

The emperor laughed and said: "Uncle Wang is serious. I know the news that Qingque temporarily takes over the administration of Donglai County and Qi County. He has done a good job."

"Your Majesty, I should practice more, I'm afraid a prefect of a county is not competent." Jiang Chengxiao declined with a serious face.

Are you kidding me, what are you going to do in Liaodong? Build the Great Wall or build a snowman?
