Idle courtiers

Chapter 428 Asshole Logic
The assassination of Kong Ming, a Taoist in Luzu Temple, was so serious that there had never been a vicious case against the royal family in the past 100 years of the Kingdom.

As soon as the case came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

First of all, the Ministry of Rites, which governs monks and Taoists in the world, submitted a booklet to plead guilty, and the emperor ordered, "I understand."

Then, Shuntian Mansion and Daxing County also filed a petition to plead guilty, and the emperor ordered, "I know, it's not your fault."

Later, even the Wucheng soldiers who were in charge of public security in the capital immediately joined in the fun and went to plead guilty.The emperor instructed, "What's none of your business?" Rubbing this hot spot is not your way of rubbing it.

Jiajing didn't know that this was just the beginning.

When it comes to the most hot topic in the world, Qing Rumors is the second most self-effacing, and no one dares to say the first.

This is a big event, if you don't impeach a few court elders, don't you think that there is no one in Yushitai?Didn't you Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County plead guilty on the table, just like what you mean.Governor Shuntian, don't run away, it's you, a second-rank official, impeaching you is a great political achievement.

Don't join in the fun, Wucheng Bingmasi, the level is too low, it's a waste of our pen and ink.However, the Regiment Battalion, your superior authority, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies can play it.

The Ministry of Rites and Mr. Xu Ge, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites before, must play it.Your old man is the second assistant, only one level lower than the ultimate boss, the emperor's old man.

Seeing the memorial flying over like snowflakes, Xu Jie couldn't laugh or cry.

Today, it was Li Chunfang's turn to go to Xiyuan to be on duty among the three elders in the cabinet. In the imperial city, only he and Yuan Wei were left in the cabinet.

Xu Jie waved a booklet in his hand and said, "The censor impeached the old man for being lax. Yes, I was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but that happened many years ago. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of both monks and Taoists. The Department of Daolu is in charge of Lu Zudian. But Zhou Nan has been dismissed and awaiting trial, and now the old man is being held accountable. Isn’t this fighting cattle across the mountain? It’s really helpless! Cabinet, how should this proposal be written?"

That's right, you, Xu Jie, are the ones being impeached.

How should you, Mr. Xu Ge, draw up a ticket?
A reprimand and a direct dismissal, wouldn't it appear that you are narrow-minded?I'm afraid the censors will be more enthusiastic.

If you agree, praise, please, this is pointing at the old man's nose and scolding his mother, so is it possible that the old man is still looking for his own discomfort?In this way, how can I save the face of my dignified assistant, and how can I lead the team in the future?
Yuan Wei said indifferently: "Actually, this matter is easy to handle."

Xu Jie: "Also ask Elder Yuan Ge."

"It's simple, retreat is the way to advance." Yuan Wei: "The old man can submit a letter to resign, and His Majesty has his own order."

That's right, this is the most common tactic used by cabinet ministers when they are impeached and can't pass the test.According to the official practice of the Ming Dynasty, when the auxiliary minister was impeached, it was too sensitive because he was in charge of the country's affairs and directly dealt with the impeachment memorial.Therefore, at this time, the emperor is usually asked to resign as a cabinet minister.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would dismiss the papers of impeachment and resignation, and appease both parties involved.

In this way, the cabinet ministers don't have to throw up their sleeves and leave, and the impeacher has gained the reputation of a straight-talking gentleman. Both are convenient and everyone is happy.

"Yuan Ge is just joking." This matter is certainly a common practice, but when is it now, can it be resigned?Now Xu Jie and Gao Gong are vying for the position of chief assistant.If you take a step back, you will lose everything.

If you go to ask for resignation, isn't it just in line with the wishes of the Wangfu Department?
Besides, Xu Jie also knew that old man Yuan was extremely dissatisfied with him since he dismissed the matter of Yuan Wei's protégé.

Yuan Wei smiled lightly, with sarcasm in his words: "Is Cifu not going to Lianzhan?" Decent, decent?

Xu Jie smiled and said: "There is an old saying among the people, one radish and one pit. According to the system of our Ming Dynasty, the cabinet has four great scholars who are in charge of various ministries in the court. Now, there are only three people left in the cabinet, and the vacancies cannot be filled. If the old man resigns again, the cabinet will probably be shut down. What will the country do if the cabinet is closed. Compared with this, what is the old man's personal reputation?"

Yuan Wei sneered in his heart: what an awe-inspiring righteousness, as if the cabinet had to be shut down without you, Mr. Xu Ge.Not to mention leaving you Xu Jie, even without Li Chunfang, the old man can support it alone.

"Cisuke, how do the censors draw up the tickets?"

Xu Jie: "Needless to say, just write a few sentences at will, just say that my cabinet has a clear conscience, please ask the Holy Order, and send it to the Supervisor of Rituals."

Shameless, Yuan Wei said: "Ci Fu, if you ask the Holy Judgment for everything, what's the use of my cabinet? This is a lazy government. The elder should give a clear answer."

Xu Jie felt angry in his heart, this Yuan surname was really difficult, so he kept his face cold and didn't speak.

Seeing Xu Ge's suffocation, Yuan Wei felt a burst of joy.

At this time, Xu Jie suddenly said: "Yuan Xiang is right, since the speaker impeached the cabinet, let's resign collectively!"

Yuan Wei couldn't believe his ears, why did Xu Jie change his mind, but...

"What, collective resignation?"

Xu Jie handed over a document: "This is the document from the military department to impeach Prime Minister Yuan, please read it."

Yuan Wei was shocked: "Impeach the old man, what's wrong with the old man?" After taking the notes and looking at them, his lungs exploded with anger.Bing Ke said to the impeachment of the matter that now Mr. Yuan Ge is temporarily in charge of the household registration of the Liaison Department and the land fish scale book.

In a simple summary, it is equivalent to the family planning department of later generations.

Zhezi reported that the daughter-in-law of Duan Chengen, the schoolmaster of Shuntian Prefecture, was pregnant.

It is impossible for a woman to get pregnant inexplicably, it really needs the cooperation of a man.Then, who is this man, and how will the child be born in the future?Duan Tixue is a member of the imperial court, should you take care of Mr. Yuan Ge?

Also, since this kind of scandalous thing has happened, it is obvious that you, old Yuan Ge, have no way to lead.

What does Xuezheng do? To educate the local people.Where is Luzu Hall? It's in the capital.Which yamen is in charge of the capital, Shuntian Mansion.

The Kongming case happened on the territory of Shuntian Mansion, which means that Duan Xuezheng has no way to teach.

Why is Duan Chengen unable to educate? Because the family is not strictly governed, and the upper and lower follow suit, the people under him will naturally decline. That's why Kong Ming's big case of disobedience happened.

When the child in Duan Tixue's daughter-in-law's womb is registered, it will be under the control of the household registration authority, and in the end all the household registration in the world will be under the control of you, Mr. Yuan Ge.In this way, Duan Chengen will be under your control.

In the Kongming case, you, Mr. Yuan Ge, are also responsible for impeaching you.

Yuan Ge was so overwhelmed by this bastard's logic that he almost lost his temper, there is nothing wrong with wanting to incriminate him!

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are simply bad.

"This, this, this is purely irrelevant!"

Seeing Yuan Wei's livid face, Xu Jie couldn't help laughing: "Yuan Xiang, shall we resign?"

Yuan Wei: "How can we have the same knowledge as this pedantic master? Let's invite the Holy Order!"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he hated the house, and immediately used his power to send a strongly worded official letter to Duan Tixue.It probably means that Duan Tixue is already old, and now the court is approving the official's tenure and actual age.There seems to be some dispute over the age at which you can start school, and it needs to be verified. Please cooperate with the investigation.

In a word: It's time for you old man to step aside, go to the leisurely yamen for a few years to drink tea, and wait for retirement!This old man is determined and has the ability to let you consciously give way.

After Duan Tixue received the official letter, he realized that the problem was serious, and immediately asked someone to find out where Yuan Ge's thunderous anger came from.

He has been in the officialdom all his life, how could he not find out.

Knowing that there was a mistake in Mrs. Shi's pregnancy, she was shocked and immediately ordered: "Hurry up, go and invite Zhou Zimu."
