marquis of jingan

Chapter 323

The next day, the emperor summoned three officials from the Ministry of Rites in the Ganlu Hall, namely, one Shangshu and two servants.

Then, the four of them quarreled in the Ganlu Hall.

The old Shangshu from the Ministry of Rituals was about to hit the pillar tremblingly, yelling that the law of the ancestors was indestructible. If Wu Kan and Wu Shilang hadn't hugged the old Shangshu, the little old man might really bump into the pillar in the Ganlu Palace up.

This is the traditional art of civil servants.

Regarding this, the little emperor also had some headaches.

The four of them argued for a whole morning in the Ganlu Hall, and had dinner in the Ganlu Hall at noon. After eating, the four began to argue with each other again.

Among them, Wu Kan, the newly appointed minister of rites, was promoted by the young emperor and stood on the emperor's side, while the other two hall officials stood on the civil servant's side.

Finally, in the afternoon, the emperor, who was dizzy from the noise, had to make a compromise and agreed to Wu Kan's suggestion.

The content of this proposal is.

The emperor can promote three people to enter the Hanlin Academy through the Di Baosi, but this "re-examination" preliminary review needs to be performed by officials of the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and other officials of the third grade of the Yamen School. Give it to the emperor to select three people.

The opinion given by the Ministry of Rites is to select ten people for the emperor.

The little emperor insisted on thirty people.

In the end, both sides took a step back and settled on [-] people in the primary election.

The larger the number of people, the more options the emperor has to choose from.

When the matter was finally settled and the three court officials were about to say goodbye and leave, the little emperor on the throne glanced at these people and said, "Zhu Qing, Shen Yi, a Jinshi of Jinke, has been contributing to the newspaper department for more than a year. , I like what he wrote very much, in my opinion, he doesn't need to be selected again, and he can be directly promoted to the Imperial Academy."

As soon as the little emperor said these words, the three officials in the Ministry of Rites immediately understood.

After arguing for a long time, the emperor didn't dip the dumplings in vinegar because he ate the dumplings, but made the dumplings because he wanted this dish of vinegar!

The name of the Minister of Rites is Zhou Fu, and he is also an old pedant. He raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard the words. He looked up at the emperor, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that since this rule has just come out, then no matter what this new Jinshi has done before. Whatever he has done should not be counted. If he wants to enter the Hanlin Academy, he has to go through the selection of a group of officials before it is reasonable, otherwise..."

Zhou Shangshu bowed his head deeply and said, "I'm afraid it will provoke criticism from the court."

"Criticism?"

The little emperor patted the table with his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "What's the matter? This Shen Yi was offering incense at Jiming Temple yesterday, and someone broke his arm. Does Zhou Shangshu know?"

Zhou Fu naturally didn't know about the accident of such a small person as Shen Yi.

This Zhou Shangshu lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "There is a lunatic who dares to attack the Xinke Scholars. I ask the Jiankang Mansion to interrogate the sinner immediately! Severe punishment!"

The little emperor sneered slightly: "Zhou Qing's words are beautiful, then I will issue an edict to Zhou Qing now, and Zhou Qing will take my edict to ask people for their crimes!"

Zhou Fu twitched his eyebrows, but still wanted to speak.

The little emperor didn't give him this chance, he just stood up from the chair, and walked away angrily.

At this time, the eunuch Gao Ming did not leave with the emperor, he walked down the imperial steps silently, he glanced at the three hall officials, bowed his head and said: "Three hall officials, there are some things that are inconvenient for your majesty to say, but the slaves have to Make it clear to the three, so as not to cause any trouble."

Even the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't ignore Gao Ming, and the three of them handed over one after another: "Gao Gonggong, please tell me."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said quietly: "The one who beat people at Jiming Temple yesterday is the young daughter of General Zhao..."

Having said that, he raised his head to look at Zhou Fu, lowered his head slightly and said: "If Zhou Shangshu wants to go to the Zhao family to pick someone up, the servant girl will go to someone to prepare it and send it to the Ministry of Rites."

Old man Zhou's expression changed slightly.

He opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Eunuch Gao took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice: "Guys, Shen Yi is surrounded by inner guards. His Majesty is already good-tempered enough for this matter, and it really made a big fuss. I'm afraid the three lords will not be able to calm down the incident. "

What Gao Ming meant was that the emperor has lost face, so don't be ignorant of what's good or bad.

Before Zhou Fu could speak, Wu Kan, the attendant at the side, hurriedly cupped his hands to Gao Ming and said, "Eunuch Gao, please pass on a message, saying that as long as there is no objection from the Imperial Academy, our Ministry of Rites will agree to this matter..."

After saying this, he saw that Zhou Fu was still going to talk, so he grabbed old man Zhou's sleeve and pulled him aside, heartbroken: "Old Shangshu, you are nearly seventy years old, but the Ministry of Rites still needs to continue Go on, you have to consider the overall situation!"

What this means is that you, Zhou Fu, are about to retire, and you can have no scruples about your reputation, but these latecomers still have to hang around.

He almost pointed at Zhou Fu's nose and said that the old man "invites fame and sells straight".

Zhou Fu also lost his temper, he took a gentle look at Wu Kan, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, the old man is getting old, let's do what you young people think!"

After finishing speaking, old man Zhou walked away in a huff.

Wu Kan looked at another servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was not too old, and sighed with a complex expression: "Then follow your majesty's wishes."

Wu Kan breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Eunuch Gao, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Gao, there are many offenses in the Ministry of Rites today, please forward them to the Holy Majesty, we are also dedicated to serving the country, Your Majesty, please don't take offense. "

"Your Majesty is benevolent and will not blame you gentlemen."

After Eunuch Gao said this, he turned and left.

Standing in the Ganlu Hall, Wu Shilang turned his head and looked at his colleague, both of them sighed.

………………

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Shen Yi hadn't waited for the edict from the imperial court to appoint him an official and promote him to the Imperial Academy.

However, Shen Yi is not in a hurry, there are good and bad for him to enter the Hanlin Academy, he can only say that he is happy to enter, and he is happy not to enter.

Because only the arms, back and face were injured, and the legs were not injured, after lying on the bed for a day, Shen Yi found a white cloth and hung it on his arm to walk around normally.

After living in Zhao's house for two days and enjoying the care of Junior Sister Lu for two days, Shen Yi felt embarrassed to continue living in Zhao's house.

After all, it wasn't a serious injury, at most it just affected some of Shen Yi's appearance.

On the third day after being beaten, Shen Yi returned to live in his home.

Going home this time is not the same as before.

In the past, this house was just a temporary residence given to him by the emperor, a bit like a low-rent house in the yamen, but now, this house will be named after him as Shen.

Standing at the door of the house, Shen Yi looked up at the house, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. After looking at the door for a while, he turned his head to look at Shen Ling, and said with a smile: "Third brother, someday when you are free, go to the house. Order a plaque for the Shen residence in Dongshi Street, let's hang it up!"

Shen Ling thought that Shen Yi was going to be an official soon and needed to be a bit more dignified, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "Success, I will go to Dongshi Street to handle this matter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as my brother."

Only then did Shen Yi enter the house contentedly.

That evening, Shen Yi, who had finished his dinner, went out with one arm hanging.

He went to the Qinhuai River to find Xu Fu.

To be precise, he didn't come to find Xu Fu, but to help the emperor make peace.

After all, the emperor had just rewarded him with a big house, so he had to help the emperor to run things beautifully, so that the next time he went to the palace to see the emperor for a "report", he could also give the emperor a gift.
