Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 264 The Pain of Being Dominated by the Interest Class

The other officials in the court immediately received the news that Zhuge Liang had entered the palace to face the saint, and His Majesty the Emperor also received him.

This is definitely not good news for other yamen.

When everyone wants to get the qualification to host the banquet, the people from the Imperial Academy jump out again, which is equivalent to dancing on everyone's sensitive nerves.

Although Zhuge Liang's official position is not big, his competitiveness should not be underestimated.

It was after His Majesty the Emperor summoned him at the beginning that he gradually became interested in the scriptures.

What's more, the Hanlin Academy still occupies the status of righteousness, which is also an advantage that other yamen do not have...

But if you don't like it, it's impossible for these people to go to the palace to drag Zhuge Liang out.

They could only wait anxiously for the news.

On this day, no one knew what Zhuge Liang had discussed with His Majesty the Emperor. It is said that Zhuge Liang did not give any definite answer after returning to the Imperial Academy.

~~
The next day, early morning.

I don't know who started it, and the matter of the sutra feast was brought up again, and the civil servants played it one after another, as if we would not give up if you didn't agree.

"Your Majesty, if the sutra feast is not abolished for a day, the sages and sages will advance in one day; Decades have passed!"

"The emperor's festival should not be preceded by lectures, and lectures should not be preceded by sutra banquets..."

"Everyone, please sit back first, I have a headache today, and I don't want to discuss this matter, let's talk about it another day!"

Li Gan is a procrastination tactic. He has already used this trick to make the ministers want to die, and now he plans to use this trick to delay it.

The ministers stopped doing it after seeing it. Every time you say this, you will either have a headache or a sore foot. Can you ask the Tai Hospital to issue you a "sick leave certificate"?We believe it only if there is something.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Qin Hui suddenly came out and raised the wat board in his hand to Li Gan.

Li Gan's eyes seemed to brighten: "President Qin, but it's okay to say."

Qin Hui said with some seriousness: "Your Majesty, many diseases are caused by people's loose mind and spirit."

"If a person's mind and spirit are complex, he will be naturally strong and sensitive. Lectures through banquets are the place where the right person is the one who broadens his mind and inspires his spirit."

Your head hurts because you don't study, understand?Now come out honestly and listen to our lectures, and you will be cured of all diseases.

Li Gan's face darkened, and the officials below all laughed, and many people looked at Qin Hui with admiration.

To be honest, the emperor Li Gan is not the only one at the center of the whirlpool recently.

Seeing that Li Gan couldn't make a breakthrough, many middle and lower level civil officials turned their guns on Qin Hui.

There is no way, who called him the prime minister, and he is the only prime minister in the capital now.

There are countless memorials to impeach him by the officials alone.

As for other officials, they may not have spoken their minds, but most of them are still dissatisfied.

We big guys are all on it, and you, the minister of the minister and the head of the civil servants, why don't you persuade the emperor to hold a sutra banquet and give lectures?

At this critical moment, you are still watching from behind, are you embarrassed?

Only in his position, not seeking his own government!The corpse is a vegetarian!

Even the prime minister couldn't bear the grievances of the Manchu officials, so if Qin Hui didn't say anything, then he couldn't do it.

After Qin Hui opened his mouth, Cai Jing and other ministers followed behind to persuade him, quite like a group of teachers educating dropout children...

Of course, this kind of scene, how can the parents of dropout children be indispensable?

Li Yuan, who was on the side of the generals, also stepped up to join in the fun, and seriously persuaded Li Gan to attend a feast of scriptures, which attracted many civil servants to give their thumbs up, lamenting that the country is a great event.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be perplexed by the unification of the Manchu Dynasty, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed, and said helplessly: "Since the emperor's uncle and all the nobles think so, then I will try this sutra feast first." .”

His voice was not loud, but as soon as these words came out, the Qianyang Hall, whose roof was about to be raised, became quiet all of a sudden.

Many civil servants widened their eyes and raised their heads to look upwards, as if they did not expect His Majesty the Emperor to give in like this.

It was Qin Hui who was the first to lean down and bowed loudly: "Your Majesty is humble, diligent and eager to learn through the ages, and your majesty has never been wiser than you!"

Only then did the civil servants come back to their senses, and immediately followed Qin Hui, echoing loudly.

"Your Majesty's humble and diligent heart to learn has lasted through the ages, and the sages have never surpassed Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's humble and diligent heart to learn has lasted through the ages, and the sage has never surpassed His Majesty..."

The civil servants bowed their heads in praise one after another, and the loud and excited voices were deafening one after another.

As for how many of them have other ideas, in order to fight for the power to teach His Majesty the Emperor, how many are just pure joy, for the sake of Daqian, the Sutra Banquet was restored, and there is another king of learning... I don’t know .

After paying their respects, Li Gan asked them to get up, and said helplessly to Qin Hui: "President Qin, you must do well in this matter, and find some good Japanese lecturers for me in the Imperial Academy to come over!"

The civil servants who had just finished getting up were still a little scattered, and some even chatted excitedly with each other in low voices.

But after Li Qian's voice fell, the Qianyang Hall became quiet again.

Many officials looked eager to move, and more people looked forward to Qin Hui.

If there were officials from the Imperial Academy present at this time, there would be no need to ask Qin Hui, the middleman, but unfortunately, even the head of the Imperial Academy was only a fifth-rank official and was not qualified to participate in the court meeting.

Moreover, only a very small number of important officials in the Manchu Dynasty came from the Hanlin Academy. Now that everyone has their own new home, they all have new interests and positions. Even if they miss the old days, how can they speak for the Hanlin Academy?
Therefore, there is room for other yamen to operate.

But now everyone is not in a hurry to speak. His Majesty the Emperor threw the question to Prime Minister Qin, so it is natural to see what he has to say first.

Qin Hui's expression moved slightly, and he cupped his hands towards Li Qian and said, "Return to Your Majesty, there are not many suitable people in the Imperial Academy to serve as lecturers on the feast day."

He explained: "The Hanlin Academy has a quota of two bachelors, and now all of them are vacant. There are two lecturers, and now there is only one person left. It is almost seventy years old, and the old man can't give lectures any day."

"There are only two attendants in the Imperial Academy, and only one is over [-] years old. There are two attendants, only one of whom is also in his [-]s."

"Because the Imperial Academy does not have any suitable officials, please..."

Only halfway through the words, Li Gan's eyes lit up:
"Since there is no suitable daily lecturer, then there is no need to hold this sutra banquet again?"

You're thinking about ass!
The other adults in the court became excited one by one, and everyone said that even if teachers were mobilized from all over the world, they would definitely make His Majesty the emperor, a boy out of school, read the book again.

Well, no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer children.

"Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy does not have a suitable daily lecturer, but you can choose the best from other yamen!"

Qin Hui also hurriedly said: "There are many well-educated people in the Ministry of Education and people who are skilled in government affairs. These people can also serve as Japanese lecturers."

Everyone saw that Qin Hui had started, and they all became rude.

"President Qin's words are wrong."

Wang Mang said angrily: "What Jingyan talks about is always the scriptures of the sages, but not government orders. What your majesty wants to listen to is the art of the fisherman, not the fish in the basket!"

"Although there are few officials in the Ministry of Rites who are proficient in copywriting, they are all familiar with classics and are familiar with the meaning of the scriptures. This is the way to increase the holy learning and morality!"

Qin Hui's face darkened slightly, and before he could say anything, other officials behind him followed suit.

"The important affairs of the country are sacrifices and military affairs. Now that I am working hard, there are constant internal and external troubles, and there are frequent wars in various places. The Lord should not only study the classics, but also march and deploy troops!"

Pei Ji, the left servant of the Ministry of War, also stood up, and said solemnly: "Today, we must select a few officials from the Ministry of War!"

The major affairs of the country are sacrifices and wars, right?And let your Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites make a round?
There are only six daily lecturers, how many do you want to open your mouth?
Other yamen like them naturally wouldn't do it.

"The Ministry of Officials is the place where all the officials are in charge. Your Majesty decides that all officials in the world will be promoted or promoted. This is a top priority..."

"Your Majesty wants to judge everything in the world clearly. There are many officials in Dali Temple who are proficient in this kind of officials. They come from clean backgrounds, but they can speak any day..."

Six ministries, five temples... as long as they are qualified, almost all come out to join in the fun.

Only a few embarrassing yamen were left standing there, motionless.For example, in Guanglu Temple, you can’t say, Your Majesty, I’ll teach you how to cook two dishes, or the Ministry of Industry can’t say: Your Majesty, we can build palaces, city walls, embankments... Even if we can build latrines, you can just say you Which one do you want to learn?
The ministers below are scrambling to share the fruits of victory one by one, speaking very happily.

But the joys and sorrows in the world are not connected, Li Qian only thinks they are noisy.

You have to learn this, you have to learn that, and it may not be enough to split him into ten parts.

At this moment, Li Gan recalled the fear of being dominated by those interest classes in his previous life.

But now most of these ministers will be disappointed.

In Li Gan's plan, he would still hand over the Jingyan to the Hanlin Academy to preside over it. Even if other yamen could put people in it, the Hanlin Academy would still be the main one.

The reason is very simple. The officials of the Imperial Academy have a major characteristic, that is, they are of low rank.

If the emperor asked them to preside over the sutra banquet, they could use this to get close to the center of power and gain the attention and fawning of other officials.

But if one day, the emperor doesn't let them preside over the Sutra banquet, they will gradually fall into the clouds and become what they are today.

Officials will not be accountable to the source of their power, but to those who can determine their power.

Tens of hundreds of years ago, the Imperial Academy might still tremble a little in front of the emperor when they were in glory, but with the current period of sinking, their attitude must be more respectful.

Moreover, the officials of the Hanlin Academy are notoriously poor and have no income. As long as Li Gan doesn't give them daily lectures, these people can only go back, and either study hard for a lifetime, or resign and return to their hometown.

Li Gan is the one who can determine their power.

On the contrary, it is the messy yamen of Zhongshu Sheng, Liubu, Wusi, etc. The officials here are not low-level, and they themselves have various errands.

To them, the position of Japanese lecturer is more like a ladder to reach the sky, one step at a time. Although everyone likes this thing, it is not impossible to get along without it.

These people have their own rights and their own promotion channels, and they don't rely too much on Li Gan.

It is their own superiors and others who decide that these people have more power, so they will only do things for those people.

That being the case, why would Li Gan ask for trouble?Get these officials who listen to others to your side.

Besides, allowing these yamen to hold the important power of selecting Japanese officials will probably cause them to lose their heads...

After sitting on the dragon chair and waiting for a while, the officials below gradually had enough noise.

Everyone has finished talking about their needs, and many of them are asking for sky-high prices.

But none of this matters. What matters is what His Majesty's needs are?
The ministers gradually calmed down, and looked at Li Gan above him again.

"It turns out that Jing Yan has to learn so much?"

"I have a bit of a headache today, let's put this aside for now, and discuss it another day, another day..."

"Let's go to court today..."

"Hold on, Your Majesty!"

When everyone saw that His Majesty the Emperor was about to pick a pick again, they became anxious all of a sudden.

Why don't you play your cards logically?What you just agreed to, now you have to put it on hold?
What kind of trouble is this going to be?
"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

At this time, it was Wei Zheng who stood up.

The other officials in the palace also looked at him eagerly, with some expectation in their eyes.

Could it be that Mr. Wei also can't understand the emperor's capriciousness, and finally wants to stand up and criticize him?
Hmm... combined with this lord's past record, it doesn't seem impossible.

To the disappointment of the officials, Wei Zheng did not denounce His Majesty's shameless act.

"I think that the daily lecture on the scriptures and the banquet must belong to the Hanlin Academy."

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Although there are many senior officials in the Imperial Academy who are embarrassing to use as lecturers, they are not really out of favor."

"At the time when the results of the palace examination are released, party A of the Sanding Tripod is admitted to the Imperial Academy. These three people are all talented and knowledgeable, and they can just serve as daily lecturers and teach the scriptures for His Majesty."

As soon as the words fell, many officials put on ugly faces, thinking that Mr. Wei had finally spoken in a pleasant way this time, but he didn't expect that he was still so disgusting... No, he was disgusting to officials.

Li Gan also stopped his tendency to stand up and looked at the expressions of the officials below.

To be honest, Li Qian didn't expect Wei Zheng to be so different from his own ideas.

A while ago, when many censors and officials wrote to request the re-opening of the Sutra Banquet, Wei Zheng was one of them, and he also went to Ziwei Hall many times to persuade Li Gan. He was also the one who persuaded Li Gan in Qianyang Hall just now. .

It's just that since he agreed to this matter before, he didn't speak again, and he didn't participate in the debate among the officials for the number of daily lecturers.

Looking at it now, it turned out that this was the idea.

"Is Master Wei's suggestion a little thoughtless?"

This time it was Qin Hui's turn to be upset. He had just finished talking about the shortcomings of the Imperial Academy, and now Wei Zheng came up with this idea again. Isn't it obvious that he wants to argue with him?
"The Japanese lecturers have always been senior and well-educated Confucian scholars, and the three tripods are only in their [-]s, so how can they be the Japanese lecturers?"
