0836 Chang'an people, competing for the festival
Li Tong had long guessed the court officials' advice and objection, and the Censorate itself did this kind of thing, so he was not surprised that the Chief Zhu Jingze stood up and spoke. However, when he heard Zhu Jingze point the finger at Xu Junchen, he still couldn't help but feel happy.
Xu Junchen is a guy with a tide foundation, but he is clever in the team. He can still stand in the court and ranks in the fourth-rank Tongqi train, which is naturally very unhappy.
Therefore, all the court officials, including the Censorate, would criticize and impeach Xu Junchen if they had any problems. This has become a fixed entertainment event for the court officials. In general, any matter in the court is unreasonable, they would be entrenched on Xu Junchen. In short, this guy is a sin to live.
From this perspective, even if Xu Junchen's ability to frame and concoct unjust prisons is not considered, his existence itself will be of considerable benefit to the maintenance of court politics. He can combine the grievances of court officials and cover up many other contradictions.
For example, this time, when rewarding the ministers with treasures, Li Tong was more worried that the court officials would refer to the Confucian ethical concept of "don't eat from time to time" to oppose this behavior, but Zhu Jingze spoke up and led the problem to Xu Junchen, avoiding discussing the problem within ideological friction. Li Tong was much more relieved about this situation.
In the face of the doubts raised by Zhu Jingze, he certainly also responded to the resolution. For example, the reward list was formulated by him and had nothing to do with Xu Junchen. For example, the fruit and vegetable treasures rewarded by the court were actually not expensive because of the cultivation of the law.
But since Zhu Jingze was targeting Xu Junchen, there was no need for Li Tong to rush to explain, so as not to solve this problem and lead to new problems. Let Xu Junchen take the blame first.
So in the face of Zhu Jingze's strong advice, he said after pondering for a while: "Zhu Zhongcheng is the chief executive of the constitution, and his argument is reasonable, and he does not disappoint this. However, the imperial decree gave the order that the court should be subject to the public's situation at that time, and it is not appropriate to change it. The supervisory department will be reviewed by the Constitutional Bureau later. If there is indeed the evil feelings that Zhongcheng said, the chief executive of the position will be severely punished!"
When Xu Junchen heard this, he was stunned, but his reaction was still quite quick. He hurriedly went out to tell him: "I must obey the saint's will and must understand the facts. I will advise you for details and never dare to have evil feelings and hide them. If you cannot reply to your innocence, you will never dare to be the sect's power again!"
Xu Junchen was of course very unhappy when he suffered this unrestrained disaster. But he soon realized that this was a task assigned by the saint, and taking the blame to the leader was always one of the ways for him to protect himself. Naturally, he would not, and he dared not reject the saint's will. What's more, although his foundation was turbulent, there was really no problem of criticizing him in this matter. Naturally, he was not afraid of the investigation of the Xiantai, and he just wanted to return to the Old Office to reminisce with others.
Zhu Jingze was still a little dissatisfied with this, but thought that if Xu Junchen could be pulled into the Censorate for interrogation and use this to sweep him out of the court, it would also be of great benefit to the court's feelings and the world, so he looked at Xu Junchen and sneered: "Then I and the members of the Xiantai will be waiting for Xu Shaoqing in the Ministry of Justice. Please rest assured that the Xiantai is doing very differently in the past years. The law enforcement is fair and not in vain."
When the other court officials saw Zhu Jingze pointing his sword directly at Xu Junchen, they were also excited and satisfied with the pleasure of eating melons and watching the show, so they had no objection to this.
The grand ceremony of the new day ended like this, and then the ministers left the court and the hundred officials on holidays, leaving some officials to maintain the basic operation of the government office and prepare for the acquired Tanhua Banquet. As for the other officials, they all excitedly went to Guanglu Temple in the Imperial City of Xida Nei to receive their own reward materials, and then they went home to prepare for the festival.
Originally, the court officials were worried that the quality of materials might not be good if the court rewarded such a large scale. However, when they saw that the vegetables, fruits and vegetables distributed were all very good and fresh, they were all very surprised.
Regarding the personal interests, many people's ideas have also changed. Thinking of Zhu Jingze's attack on Xu Junchen at today's court meeting, someone couldn't help but sigh: "Since Xu Shaoqing became the Guanglu, he has been diligent in his work. This time, Zhu Zhongcheng suddenly attacked, and he couldn't help but feel a little nitpicking!"
Of course, Xu Junchen did not have a good reputation, but after the imperial court returned to Chang'an, most of the rewards for various materials were paid by Guanglu Temple. In this way, many people think of Xu Junchen and they can't help but think of extra money. The harvests beyond the salary are of course pleasant. Love the house and the underworld has improved Xu Junchen.
It does not mean that all the courtiers are extremely snobbish and confuse right and wrong for some small profits.
One of the most criticized Xu Junchen is the evil deeds of Wu Zhou, but in the current country, similar deeds have been reduced, of course, because no one has ever given him the chance to do evil.
Second, since the Wuzhou Dynasty, the current situation has been more volatile and capricious. To this day, the old people in the Wuzhou period are no longer mainstream. Many times have not been directly persecuted by cruel officials, so it is easier to psychologically forgive Xu Junchen, a representative figure among cruel officials.
In addition, the most important point is that it is really difficult to live in Chang'an. The prices have been high before. As the court center moved back, the cost of living has become higher. Although officials each have their own moral integrity and persistence, it is not contrary to their desire for a better life.
Giving materials from the court outside of their regular salary is also one of the important sources of daily income for officials. Chang'an City has developed commerce and trade. Even if the materials given by the court do not meet their actual needs, they can be flexibly cashed out and then purchase goods that are actually needed in the city.
So it is not so much that officials and court officials have changed their views on Xu Junchen, who is turning back on the prodigal son, but it is better that the rules and regulations of the court rewarding the power of the court are deeply in line with the hearts of the people. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, but the value and reward of talents made the court officials feel proud and happy. When they become cheerful, their mood becomes open-minded. Even Xu Junchen is fortunate to be tolerant of the world because of his work.
Although the materials given by the imperial court this time were excellent, many officials had already made up their minds not to enjoy them. Now the season is late spring, and in two or three months, many seasonal vegetables, vegetables, melons and fruits will be launched one after another. It is unnecessary to enjoy the temporary desire to enjoy the taste. It is better to take advantage of the market to sell it at a good price and get money to add some necessities to your family.
When the court officials wanted to sell the materials given by the imperial court, in addition to the servants who could provide services, there would also be merchants from two cities who would come to inspect the materials themselves, and the prices would not be too low.
In addition to pleasing power, it is also because the quality and market conditions of the court grants are guaranteed. As long as you have the goods in your hands, you will not have to worry about selling them. In addition to some prohibited items with limited regulations, most of the other gifted materials are highly sought after in the market.
This time is naturally no exception. Before many court officials could get home after receiving gifts in the imperial city, merchants from the two cities of Beijing became active and wandered around the officials' homes to discuss purchasing matters.
After all, two days later is the Shangsi Festival. If you can catch up with this prosperous market and operate it well, the harvest in a few days may be the hard work of the year. In this lively atmosphere, the more rare goods you can master, the more you will naturally attract more attention and gain more. Therefore, the batch of materials rewarded by the court before the festival also catered to market demand.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were broad-minded and enthusiastic, and were far less rigid and dull than later generations. In addition to the court and officials and businessmen preparing for festivals, the people were also busy.
The surrounding area of Qujiangchi is a good place for outings and entertainment. As the festival approaches, the surrounding area becomes more lively. The people have arrived here early to occupy a good area for watching operas, and the surrounding area of Qujiangchi is also covered with tents and almost no spare land. There are also many young men and young men in the neighborhood who are dressed in a frock and roaring together, and they play here all day long and sing.
As a beautiful and beautiful destination in Chang'an City, Pingkangfang naturally would not miss this excitement. Many days ago, many buildings and museums in Pingkangfang were busy making new clothes and practicing new songs, so as to make amazing colors and invite guests to enjoy them.
When the saints were still in the secret residence in their early years, they passed by Chang'an to tease the wind and the courtesan dramas they created were also preserved and carried forward. This year is the first year of Kaiyuan when the saints were in the supreme position. Naturally, people like Pingkangfang will not miss such an opportunity to take advantage of the hot topics. Although they dare not directly disturb them, they also vowed to make this year's courtesan drama grand and glorious, and to decorate the world and govern the world with peace and prosperity.
Therefore, the female actors and girls in Pingkangfang closed their doors to greet guests many days ago, began to practice their talents diligently, and wanted to welcome the grand event in the best condition. However, not everyone is difficult to love. There is another type of person who is an exception, that is, a romantic figure who is recognized as having a talent for poetry.
Not only will this type of person not be turned away, but is highly welcomed and sought after. In order to seek a poem and sing, the actors in Pingkangfang also use all their best efforts, recommending their own pillows and mats, and even buying them for ten thousand yuan.
For example, after the Jinshi exam and the first prize list was announced, Wu Zhong Heba, who was very proud of his title, was soon awarded a new name, Pingkang Street Envoy and Xiang Case, to join the army. It was about the fact that whenever he entered and left the street, he followed a group of Pingkangfang actors who begged to take care of him, as majestic as the street patrol patrol. The actors were ticking at the right time, making He Zhizhang like a judge in a cosmetic array join the army.
Although He Zhizhang was talented, he was not a slut who was addicted to sex. He was also very troubled by such a playful scene. He simply escaped from Chang'an after taking the exam and traveled to Zhongnan Mountain with his friends. He did not return until the Shangsi Festival.
Of course, Shi Liu people also understood that the current popular dramas of Pingkang's talents are actually just a choice for waiting. They really want to find the candidates they really want to take care of.
