I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 445: The grievances of the pavilion elders: The emperor used too strong medicine, will the big man be killed? ?

After the newly appointed Guang Luxun Gong Sui received the emperor's edict, he sent people to various government offices to confirm the vacant official positions, and at the same time led his subordinate officials to discuss the list of alternate officials.

It seems that there are only twenty official positions vacant, but there are three candidates for each official position, which is 60 people.

Moreover, although only the list of [-] people was reported, officials were replaced one by one, and promoting one person would involve three or five people.

The vacancy of the imperial edict was filled by the prison magistrate, the vacancy of the imperial magistrate was filled by the captain of You Fufeng County, and the vacancy of the imperial prison magistrate was filled by the prison magistrate of Xialing County...

The governor of Henan County will fill the vacancy of the censor Zhongcheng, the magistrate of Luoyang County will fill the vacancy of the county magistrate of Henan, and the emperor's official or doctor's disciple will fill the vacancy of the magistrate of Luoyang...

According to the current regulations, subordinate officials with [-] shi and above must submit their decision to the emperor, and officials with [-] shi to less than [-] shi must be decided by Guang Luxun.

As for the subordinate officials and the official officials with a price of less than [-] shi, they are appointed by the governor of the county and the chief of the government.

Nowadays, selecting twenty thousand-ton officials at one time will affect more than a hundred people, so what Gong Sui has to do is not simple.

It took two days for Gong Sui to finally draw up the list of sixty candidate officials.

He did not dare to hesitate for a moment, so he immediately wrote a memorial and handed it over to the chauffeur's office, and then transferred it to the cabinet to wait for the emperor's new edict.

……

At midnight on the fourth day after Liu He issued the edict, when he walked into the cabinet duty room again, the cabinet bachelors were unpacking the memorial with the clerks in the stalls.

At a glance, he saw the memorial submitted by Gong Sui among the piles of memorials.

For such a complicated court event, the preliminary upload and distribution can be completed in less than three days, which is actually not too slow.

More importantly, the list of sixty alternate officials has been finalized, but the cabinet bachelors in the duty room still cannot interfere.

The power of personnel appointment and dismissal is very important, and it is related to the big issue of who has the final say in the court.

Liu He picked up the memorial letter from Guang Luxun, waved it, and said to everyone: "My dear friends, please open this memorial letter first. It is a matter for the alternate official."

"No!" Several cabinet bachelors quickly stopped what they were doing, and all of them gathered around him.

Zhang Anshi took the memorial from the emperor respectfully with both hands, and under the gaze of everyone, he opened the memorial with a knife.

He did not dare to read it, but directly and respectfully presented the memorial to the emperor with both hands.

But what Zhang Anshi didn't expect was that the emperor just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a half-smile, and had no intention of taking it.

"Did Zhang Qing forget the rules and regulations for handling memorials? The cabinet must first attract the yellow ones, then vote for them, and finally hand them over to me for the red ones."

"No, this official is confused." Zhang Anshi, who was somewhat haggard, quickly saluted and apologized.

"Today I have to go to the work officer for a visit. After all my dear friends have finished drafting the votes, just leave the memorial in the check-in room. I will send someone to bring it back to the Greenhouse Hall for approval."

"promise!"

Afterwards, Liu He left gracefully under the respectful greetings of a group of cabinet bachelors and subordinate officials.

Today, there was no urgent matter for him to go to the office. On the contrary, he just went to hang out.

He wanted to leave some space for the cabinet to see if they were smart people and could negotiate this important matter.

If the negotiation can be settled, Liu He will be very pleased; if the negotiation cannot be settled, Liu He will beat them.

When Liu He walked out of the front door of Shiqu Pavilion, he inadvertently looked back at the plaque on the door.

The three large seal characters "Shiqu Pavilion" engraved on the plaque seemed to exude a kind of magic power, making him unable to take his eyes away for a long time.

I don’t know how many years, this Shiqu Pavilion has been standing here unusually quiet, even to the point of being lonely.

It is like a concubine who is not favored by the emperor and never attracts anyone's attention.

However, from now on, this Shiqu Pavilion will become the starting point of the reform and new policy and the focus of the people all over the world.

I hope that the bachelors inside will behave well and not live up to their own expectations, let alone get into trouble.

"Fan Ke, let's go, I'm going to see the work officer."

"promise!"

...The drumming sound of the Emperor's ceremonial guard gradually faded away, and a group of academicians standing with their hands hanging outside the cabinet duty room finally straightened their backs slowly.

During these seven or eight days, the emperor stayed in the cabinet duty room at all times, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Zhang Anshi and others.

This pressure cannot be seen or touched, but it makes the tens of feet high Shiqu Pavilion in front of them ten thousand times heavier.

At this moment, the emperor finally left temporarily, which finally made them feel a little more relaxed.

"You guys can go about your business." Zhang Anshi said to the officials standing in the courtyard.

"No." These officials responded respectfully and quickly returned to their rooms.

"Let us also go into the cabinet to discuss matters." Zhang Anshi said to the six bachelors behind him.

"No!" After a steady reply, the bachelors also turned around and walked into the duty room.

It's now the end of the first month, the weather has gotten a lot warmer, and the sun can be seen most days, so it's not that hard to endure.

But today there is some late-spring cold. Although there is no snow, the sky is still gloomy and the wind is strong. It is much colder than the previous few days.

There was a blazing charcoal fire burning in the room of the cabinet, which was working hard to dissipate the heat to dissipate the bone-chilling chill.

From time to time, "cracking" sparks would explode while the silver charcoal was burning, making the depressing atmosphere in the cabinet room seem to become more lively.

Several bachelors gathered tightly around the charcoal fire, and invariably put their hands on the charcoal fire to warm themselves, sighing with pleasure.

The red charcoal fire heated up their cold and stiff hands, but it also caused a heartbreaking pain in the cracked wounds on their hands.

Less than half a month after joining the cabinet, they felt the hard work.Although the emperor advised me every day, it was difficult to relieve the pain in my back.

Everyone squeezed together like this, roasting their palms and roasting the backs of their hands, and roasting the backs of their hands and roasting their palms, as if they wanted to keep this moment longer.

Without the emperor's eyes staring at him all the time behind him, he felt much more relaxed.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Anshi coughed heavily and said, "It's been really hard for the county magistrate to wait with me in this room every day these past few days."

Zhang Anshi finished speaking this sentence slowly, which immediately attracted the nods and agreement of others.

In fact, it's not just the emperor who works hard, but they, the cabinet bachelors, also work hard.

It's just that as a minister, it is an honor to die for the king's favor. How can you say that you have worked hard?
In the past, first Huo Guang took charge of the affairs of the state, and then six ministers divided the affairs of the state, which was much easier than now.

"Of course you have worked hard, but the cabinet system and the feudal system are the first new policies implemented by the county magistrate. As ministers, we must do our best."

Zhang Anshi's two rather high-sounding words naturally attracted the echo of other cabinet bachelors, who all said things like "We will try our best."

Of course, although what they said was very similar, their expressions were different, and they were roughly divided into two categories.

Zhao Chongguo, Han Zeng and Wei Xiang praised and sighed, while Bingji, Wei Xian and Liu De were more perfunctory.

"With the cabinet system and the superior system, it will be easy for the county magistrate to implement other new policies in the future." There was a hint of sarcasm in Liu De's words.

"If the new policies in the future can really enrich the people and strengthen the people, I will just wait until I am tired. I am afraid that the county officials will act too hastily." Wei Xian also said slowly.

"What Mr. Wei Ge said is wrong. The county magistrate made it very clear that day. The big man has a lot of illnesses that cannot be cured without strong medicine." Wei Xiang said in an argument.

Nowadays, cabinet elders and cabinet ministers have become synonymous with cabinet bachelors. This is the first time the emperor called him this name. Because it is easy to pronounce, it spreads.

"I know a little bit about the art of Qi Huang. The more seriously ill you are, the more urgent it is, otherwise it will be easy to kill people." Wei Xian said with a smile.

"Mr. Wei Ge is exaggerating, isn't he? He seems to be a little dissatisfied with the New Deal in his words?" Prime Minister Wei looked sideways at Wei Xian with his sword-like eyes, seeming rather unkind.

"Hey, I'm so serious. We are just chatting now. How dare we be dissatisfied with the new policy? You should be careful." Bingji, who had a good personal relationship with Prime Minister Wei, persuaded with a smile.

"In my opinion, the biggest disease of the Han Dynasty is Huo's disease. Now that the Huo family has been eliminated, the Han Dynasty is naturally fine. What other diseases need to be treated?" Liu De, who was outspoken, expressed his thoughts.

After Liu De said this, whether it was Prime Minister Wei or others, their faces gradually became serious. This sentence really touched their hearts.
