Jingming

Chapter 45

"I welcome His Majesty all the way back to Beijing. Do you think Liu Long should listen to my advice?" Cui Yuan didn't explain much, "Tell him, it's better to use his qualifications in the Imperial Academy to take on the job of compiling the Daxing Emperor's Records. Let's Your Majesty, there is a bottomless whirlpool around me right now."

"...I see, then I'll go tell Xinrui right now."

Cui Yuan nodded, remembering what His Majesty said to him in the elephant when he was approaching Liangxiang a few days ago.

Your Majesty should already know the relationship between Liu Long and his in-laws by now, and should be able to understand his position from Liu Long's attitude.

As soon as the sutra feast begins, isn't the words of many sages the best place to quote the scriptures and teach His Majesty?

And it is impossible for the emperor not to understand this point. If he agrees to open it, then the sutra banquet will be the battlefield where the emperor continues to suppress the great scholars and future great scholars!

This sutra banquet was never pure, Yang Tinghe must insist on arguing with the emperor about many things.He is the first assistant, which determines that he can only do this, or at least show persistence.

If not, the civil servants around him will turn to find a new person, let this person come forward to help them fight against the emperor.

There is no way, every new policy, every measure, has real interests behind it.

The emperor has the interests of the royal family, and the officials have their own small interests.

It's just that this time it's not the eunuch who is favored and domineering, but the emperor personally coercing: that was the scene of Taizu Taizong, which civil servant is not trembling?
Cui Yuan knew how many generations of emperors these civil servants had gone through before the emperor became more and more respectful to his ministers.Just for this point, Yang Tinghe had to regard Jing Yan Ri Lecture as an important battlefield, trying to tame this young and energetic emperor.

And the Hanlin scholars finally looked up to the cabinet. How could they not be persuaded and wooed by the civil servants to tell the emperor what he "should learn"?

Cui Yuan didn't want Liu Long to be planted here.

It's not for future power or anything, it's purely because her son has missed the rest of her daughter's life.

According to the teachings from the ancestors, what kind of power does he expect as a son-in-law captain?
……

The day before the emperor visited the court for the first time, Cui Yuan and his two courtiers led one doctor from the Ministry of War and other entourages to Anlu again to welcome the concubine's family.

Many honorable ministers and relatives envied Cui Yuan, and the emperor's trust in Cui Yuan was already obvious.

And on this day, before the release of the various yamen in Shenshi, the eunuchs in the office of the Lijianjian were dispatched on a large scale again, and went to the Ministry of Households and the Taipu Temple to return the account books.

The emperor finished checking the accounts?
It's only been less than four days, what can we find out?

The unknown is the most disturbing.

At dusk, Zhang Zuo came out from the cabinet and went to Yuan Zonggao first.

When the news came out, the whole capital was shaken: Yuan Zonggao, who was born as a top three Jinshi, was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of officials and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy at the age of 68, only one step away from the cabinet.There is only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials above the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and being a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy is naturally the foreshadowing of a bachelor.

Xie Changjie was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Before he, Zuo Changshi, was appointed, Yuan Zonggao was promoted at this speed first.

At the same time, two more waves of people left Beijing.

Then it was revealed from Zhongshu Sheren: Two more memorials were approved, and according to the request of some speech officials and ministers, His Majesty sent people to the homes of the two cabinet ministers who had already retired to invite them to return to the court.

One is Yang Yiqing, who is 67 years old, and the other is Fei Hong, who is 53 years old.

They all left the court with the respect of cabinet ministers.

This means that within a day, three people will join the cabinet at any time this year.

In addition to the previous decision to let Wang Shouren enter the capital, what is His Majesty going to do?
How does this make Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, Mao Cheng and other officials in the court think?
……

Before dawn on April 27, officials who were qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty outside the Meridian Gate had already arrived one after another.

Different from Dachaohui and Shuowangchaohui, Changchao is for discussing politics.

Today is the first regular court for the new king, and none of the court officials who can come is absent.

According to the old rules, court officials have tooth cards, and there are also family records at the gate for easy inspection.

Xie Changjie is still only the left chief history of the palace, and he has not been assigned a new position.This is not a court meeting of courtesy, so Xie Changjie is not qualified to come.

Yuan Zonggao was originally a third rank, but now he has been promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials and a Bachelor of Hanlin, and he has become the focus of the Hou Dynasty personnel when he appeared outside the Meridian Gate.

In a few days, he had a sedan chair in the capital and a follower.

Looking at the colleagues who came to greet him, Yuan Zonggao just greeted them politely and happily.

The third drum on the Meridian Gate hadn't sounded yet, and the ministers didn't have to line up in order.

All the officers and generals gathered on the side outside the right door, and now the weather is no longer so cold, not many people stayed in the straight room on such a special day.

Outside Zuoye Gate, Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also arrived.

Although he is a great heavenly official, not many civil servants greet him at this moment.

Being close to Qian Ning and Jiang Bin is Wang Qiong's death spot. Now that Qian Ning and Jiang Bin are in prison, and Yang Tinghe is supporting important ministers, how long can Wang Qiong stay in court?
Wang Qiong is a man who is scheming, powerful, and good at making money. This is his impression in the minds of officials in the court.After Zhengde, he has been working in the Sixth Department of the capital almost all the time.

In the process of transferring from Hubu Shangshu to Bingbu Shangshu, the conflict between Wang Qiong and Yang Tinghe broke out because of a specific position, and then his discord with Yang Tinghe became an open fact in the court.

Yang Tinghe has been in the cabinet for 15 years, and has served as the chief assistant for nearly ten years, and now he has a new monarch.However, behind Wang Qiong's promotion all the way, there are shadows of colluding with the courtiers and Xingchen. What is his current situation?
Even with the great achievements in promoting Wang Shouren to quell the rebellion, Wang Qiong's "bad" reputation and the strength of his opponent seem to have determined Wang Qiong's ending.

In the straight room, the elderly Liang Chu stood up when he heard the discussion outside, and shouted at the door: "Dehua, what are you doing with a straight face? Are you still angry about the night of the emperor's visit?"

Wang Qiong came over to salute with a straight face, and said in a cold voice: "Although the late emperor's last decree is for the empress dowager and the cabinet ministers to judge and deal with important matters, but none of the dignified nine ministers was asked for their opinion, Liang Ge thought I should not be angry? "

"Damn it! I know you're unhappy." Liang Chu smiled wryly, "It happened suddenly, it's just an emergency."

Wang Qiong didn't say much.

Suddenly?urgent?

The emperor has been seriously ill for so long, who hasn't thought about these things?
Wang Qiong has no objection to welcoming the new king.

He was angry that the cabinet completely ignored the six ministers and the chief officials of the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and Tongzhengshisi.Today, the power of the cabinet is getting bigger and bigger, and it has already deviated from the original intention when the cabinet was established.

"The order to let Shouren go to Beijing has been issued. He said before that all the credit belongs to you." Liang Chu continued, "Dehua and Fei Hong are also going to Beijing, and you have competed with him for the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. , how do you plan to deal with yourself now?"

Wang Qiong's complexion changed.

It was still in the third year of Zhengde. He became the left servant of the Ministry of Officials at that time because he left Liu Jin's relationship.At that time, Fei Hong, who was a competitor, was not only not selected, but was also verbally humiliated by Liu Jin at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

"How does Wang deal with himself? I don't know what the elder Ge said about these things?"

Liang Chu shook his head helplessly: "Why did Wang Tianguan lose his composure? Even if he is angry in his heart, it is not the time to treat all cabinet ministers like this. Among the six ministries, you are responsible for the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials." No. Three ministers, you are only one step away from entering the cabinet. I don’t have any great opinions, I just feel sorry for each other, and I don’t know how to deal with myself.”

Wang Qiong looked at Liang Chu in amazement: "Elder Ge was joking, how can he say that he doesn't know how to deal with himself?"

Liang Chu waved his hand, and said despondently: "Let's see. I am different from you. I was born as a Hanlin scholar and directly joined the official department. You supervised water transportation and served as the governor of Henan Province. You are a rare official. This time the storm I hope you and I can get through it safely."

Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong, two well-known ministers with seniority, qualifications and skills, returned to the court. Yang Tinghe should also feel the huge pressure, right?

　Thanks to Dongfeng and living with Qiangwei, one Xixi one, it’s up to the duck, the kitten Jiujiu, the peddler at the other side, and the 100-point reward from the Liujiaoting Sub-district Office!
