Chapter 772 The Officials (1)
.As the Meridian Gate slowly opened, all officials began to line up. A storm that could affect the future political situation was completely eliminated, and even most people were unaware of it. Only a few people involved could understand the three flavors.
After a complicated set of etiquette, all officials finally saw the dragon face that had been away for several days. In the dim skylight, the emperor was tired, as if he was still half asleep and half awake. Although he was wearing exquisite and majestic dragon robe, he could not hide his lazy aura.
In any case, everyone is very happy that the emperor can appear, because if he doesn't come, everyone will not be able to hold an early court and there will be no chance to quarrel. So even if Long Qing really turns into a puppet, it is better for everyone.
"Read the report to Your Majesty..." Yuan Mo, who was already a little used to the emperor, was speechless. The envoy of Tongzheng began to recite the backlog of memorials: "The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate of the Capital also reported, following the imperial edict of the late emperor and the edict of Your Majesty ascended the supreme, the three departments set out to rectify the unjust and wrong prison cases. A preliminary list has been drawn up, including Yang Jisheng, Chen Shu and 45 others, and the remaining ones include Wei Xuezeng, Ai Mu and 33 others, and 78 others, and the Qing Majesty's Royal Views."
"Come on." Longqing cheered up.
"In addition," the envoy of Tongzheng handed over the memorial to the eunuch, and picked up another one and said: "The Ministry of Works has already broken out more than 100 altars and Taoist temples built in the West Garden and all over the capital. In order to build such unintentional and laborious projects, the large wood fees and more than ten annual fees were collected, totaling 2.5 million taels. The Ministry of Revenue requested to cut them together."
The emperor looked at his chief minister, and Xu Jie quickly left the class and bowed: "It is the people's desire to cancel such tributes, and it is urgent to wait!"
"Accurate." Long Qing nodded, as he agreed.
"The Ministry of Revenue also requested Shu to exempt the national taxes from waived." The Tongzhengsi read the third memorial.
Long Qing looked at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie said, "This is reasonable."
The emperor thought it right, but heard a thick voice saying, "It can be avoided in the whole country, but it can't be avoided in the southeast!" Without looking, he knew who said this.
Xu Jie felt a sense of greasiness, and Gao Yao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said, "Master Gao Ge, why do you still have to treat differently? Is it necessary to kill the rich and help the poor because of the wealthy in the southeast?"
"What does the wealth in the southeast have to do with the imperial court?" Gao Gong said coldly: "In one province in Xijiang, in terms of wealth, there are more than the other ten provinces, but the taxes and silver that are distributed to the treasury every year are not as many as those in Shandong. Everyone knows the tricks, but for some reason, no one talks about them. For such provinces, tax rates should be re-determined, and the collection methods should be reformed, and the taxes that should be collected are raised, instead of adding icing on the cake to them, and even those that can be collected are not collected!"
"Gaoge's words are inappropriate." Gao Yao shook his head and said, "No matter how rich the Southeast is, no matter how rich it is, every family has a treasure pot. It has been resistant for more than ten years. The state has paid less than 11 yuan. Military expenditures are basically from the southeast taxes and additional taxes. Many places with heavy burdens, such as Xizhi, have been added to the additional tens of millions of taels every year, and have accumulated tens of millions of taels. Because of the countless wealthy families in the southeast, there are countless people who have gone bankrupt, not to mention ordinary people. Many people take risks and go out to sea to become bandits, which aggravates the troubles of the southeast bandits! In this case, the vicious recurrence and people's livelihood has long been extremely difficult.
At this time, we should rest with the people and restore the southeast to prosperity so that we can get more taxes." As he said, he said with a heartache: "It is absolutely impossible to fish when the lake is exhausted!"
Many people nodded after saying this.
Silently watched, thinking that Gao Suqing was about to be angry with the public again. . . . . . You should know that all the officials in the court were from the south. When Gao Gong turned against him, he exempted the tax owed in the southeast and had to carry out tax reforms. No matter whether these officials or Xu Jie were the people of the people, they would be unable to get along with him because of the proposal itself. They would even regard it as a challenge to the entire southeast. This was really a hornet's nest, so how could they live in peace in the future?
Gao Gong and Gao Yao, two surnames Gao, argued endlessly, but Xu Jie was silent on the side. The old fox was clear-headed. As long as he didn't speak, it means that what Gao Gong said was his personal opinion and could not represent the cabinet. This was enough to make many people dare to get along with him.
Xu Jie comfortably showed his style as a chief minister. The emperor always said silently, and there was another buzzing sound in the squad.
"Gaoge is so aggressive, where is the cabinet?" This is a disgusting Gao Gong.
"Did Mr. Gao have no right to speak?" This is Zhijing's.
"There are quarrels in places with tall beards, so why doesn't the Prime Minister take care of him?" I was disgusted.
"Hao She just talks about the matter!" supported it.
"I think nothing is wrong!" objected.
Generally speaking, each of them has 30 to 70% of them, and the majority of them are opposed.

Seeing that he was caught in endless quarrels again, the officials of Hongdu Temple on duty had to speak out to maintain order: "Silent, quiet......"
When the voices gradually faded, Xu Jie then coughed lightly and said, "Don't argue anymore, I'd better invite the Holy Lord."
After saying that, I couldn't hear the sound. Everyone waited for a while, but still didn't say anything. When they looked up, the emperor was confused and his body was shaking, as if he was wandering in Taixu.
"Emperor..." Ma Sen quickly reminded Long Qing in a low voice.
"Uh?" Longqing didn't fall asleep, but was just distracted. Hearing this, he came back to his senses and said, "Retreat the court......"
Officials, eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and even the crows in the hall were all stunned.
Looking at the stunned look of Xu Jie and others at the Yujie, Long Qing knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly called him: "It's too early to retreat to the court. Are there any trouble for all the ministers? Even if you say it, don't be polite."
Xu Jie suppressed the dizziness and said to the Tongzheng envoy who was still dazed: "Present the memorial first and wait for the emperor to read it after the court meeting."
The Tongzheng Envoy quickly did as he did, Xu Jie gave him a hidden look and said, "Is there anything important?"
Xu Xuemo, the envoy of Tongzheng, was Xu Jie's disciple. Because he could best understand the teacher's intentions, he was placed in this important position. When he heard this, he knew how to find a memorial that the emperor was interested in, and the summary said: "The Ministry of Rites presented the "Calendar of the Crown Prince Yi Notes" and asked the emperor to read it."
Long Qing was indeed inspired and said, "The prince is the foundation of the country. It should be enacted quickly. After the cabinet has read it, it will be implemented accordingly." After a moment of thought, he expressed a clear attitude in the court for the first time: "This is the first-class gift of this dynasty. It is not allowed to be neglected at all. It must be done well. It is not afraid of spending money. It must be announced to all countries and ask them to send them to watch the ceremony in the season. In addition...." After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anything else, so he asked, "What else do you have to add?"
Everyone was secretly shocked, thinking that according to your plan, it is already the highest standard in history. How to add more?
"In my foolish opinion," Gao Gong said at this time: "The "Yi Zhu" is impeccable in all aspects, and the only thing that is not decent enough is outside of "Yi Zhu". He paused and slowly said in the eyes of everyone: "The level of officials who presided over the ceremony is not enough. Such a great gift was presided over by the Minister of Rites. Now the Secretary of the State is vacant and can only be handled by the Minister of the Secretariat, which seems to be a near thing."
"This is easy to deal with." Long Qing hoped that his son could have the most perfect title ceremony, and his eyes shone: "The vacancy for the Secretary of the Republic is!" He said, looking at Chen and said: "Chen Aiqing is now the Left Minister, so he will be transferred."
I said silently, Your Majesty, you finally remember me. . . . . . Originally, when Longqing entered the palace, he was silent and excited for a long time, but the emperor seemed to not understand. What is the meaning of Jing Cheng? After reaching the extreme, I couldn't remember to implement the work for him, which almost made silence a laughing stock. I also had to let Gao Gong guide me to remember the harmony. . . The holy family of the Longqing Dynasty is really not as easy to realize as the Jiajing Dynasty.

Although my heart feels like a long drought has happened to sweet frost, I still have to be reserved and silent and said: "I am afraid that I am not competent and I will never dare to obey the sacred order." There are three good deeds in the original meaning, which is simple and fast without any suspense! But who is willing to arouse public anger? So I can only refuse as usual.
Longqing also wanted to persuade him, Gao Gong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites, is one of the nine ministers, and he should be the court as usual."
Long Qing then reacted and apologized to Chen Si and said, "It's because the couplet is negligent, so let's push it now."
"Your Majesty, Tingzhi is a heavy duty of the court." Before the officials spoke, Hu Yingjia, in the censorship class, spoke out: "Please confirm the date and collect all the officials above the third rank and above, and do so when His Majesty avoids it."
If Mu is Jiajing, he will most likely complain in anger: he will choose his ministers for the joint election, but he will avoid it. What kind of rule is this? But now Longqing is just calm. Oh, and said, "So that's how it is." Then he looked at Xu Jie and said, "Gei, please make a date."
Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong with unpredictable eyes, and finally fell on Shen Mo. After a long time, he slowly said: "The position of the Nine Ministers cannot be lingered. Tingzhi must be impatient, so he will be determined after the court meeting..."
Gao Gong's mouth twitched twice, lowering his head and stopping talking.
Silent but calm, no longer said that it was impossible to do anything.
"Authentication." After Long Qing finished speaking, he ordered the ministers to continue to make noise.
Seeing that it was almost the same time, the ministers stopped talking at the same time. This was because before coming in, the Prime Minister had specially instructed him to control the morning court for another hour, so as not to get tired of His Majesty and find reasons to stop the court. . . . . . But there are always some people who are ignorant of the matter. Only an official came out and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach you!"
Everyone looked at each other, and many people didn't know this guy. Of course, there were many people who knew him, knowing that he was Shang Baocheng and Zheng Luchun. He couldn't help but feel tired of him, thinking that you are not a censor, just keep your confidential documents in mind. Why are you messing around here?
But Zheng Luchun ignored it and started to speak generously in the hall. He shouted: "According to the system, during the court meeting, Your Majesty should ask about the state affairs and ask questions from the ministers. Your Majesty should reply. However, Your Majesty has been in power for more than a month. He has been silent in the court, staring at the orphans with a high voice; he does not ask about the copywriting, and his merits and crimes are not rigorous! He has heard that since the opening, there has been no one who will be eternal in Yong'an. He wishes to move the beautiful and rare treasures to protect the sages, and strive to make a decision to make a big plan. The classics and history lectures are always tireless. The subjects are complimenting the rules and regulations, and whether the persons can be judged or not. Only then can the decree be familiar with the evil and righteousness of talents be known. Observe changes and be cautious and restore the world to the best of the world. The plan is not beyond this!" The general idea is that since Longqing's succession, he has never fulfilled his responsibilities and allowed ministers to quarrel. How can the country do this in the long run? He asked him to correct immediately, learn humbly, and strive to become a qualified imperial ruler as soon as possible.
There was silence in the hall. What the surname Zheng said was second. The key was that he impeached the target, but the emperor! Hai Rui wrote a letter to scold Jiajing, which was a turmoil for half a year. Many people said privately that he made the last emperor angry to death. However, Long Qing felt relieved, so he not only did not punish him, but also praised Hai Rui.
Unexpectedly, retribution came so soon. Before Longqing's dragon throne was hot, someone imitated Hai Rui and wrote a letter to impeach him.
Long Qing was obviously not mentally prepared and was still used to being criticized.
.
.
.
.
.
Although he soon got used to it, he was really angry at this moment. A hint of anger appeared on his face, which had always been lacking in expression, and thought that he was so bullying. I was so honest that I would not get angry if you scolded the street, but I even came to cause trouble for me. Could it be that I really thought that the soft persimmons on the dragon throne were pinched by others?
"Bold!" Seeing that the emperor blushed and could not speak, Gao Gong immediately came out to safeguard the student and said, "The national policy is nothing small, it is all major matters related to the fate of millions of people. The emperor's time to be vigilant was still short, and he had never contacted state affairs when he was in the secret residence, so he still needed to be familiar with it. Now the emperor trusts ministers, and we should do our best to share the worries of the country, and should not blame the emperor!"
"I'm afraid that the ministers of the Pavilion are good at surpassing each other! I'll set Your Majesty as a puppet!" Zheng Luchun learned from Xianda's experience.
If you know that you don’t speak astonishingly, it’s easier for your son to become famous.
"Random!" "Nonsense!" Not only Gao Gong, but also Guo Pu shouted violently, "Do you dare to order the Prime Minister?!" If Guo Pu is really naughty, Xu Jie didn't say a word and insisted on taking the opportunity to pull him into the water.
"Su......" Xu Jie couldn't stop talking now and said slowly: "This statement is indeed abrupt, so please ask Lord Zheng to take it back."
Want me to repent? How can I mess up in the future? Zheng Luchun shouted loudly and said, "You can see it, that's it. Before the emperor could speak, the cabinet was first stepped on, which confirmed the officials' concerns!"
This really made people angry. Gao Gong and Xu Jie both glared at him. Before they could speak, they heard the emperor's stairs sending it out.
There was a dull sound from the ground, and everyone looked up in horror and saw Emperor Longqing's face full of anger, and his right hand was heavily placed on the armrest of the dragon chaise.
Clay people are also partially earthy. If you talk too much nonsense, Longqing will be angry!
While moving his hot right hand, the emperor asked the censor who was in charge, and said, "How should we punish the roaring golden palace and scolding the king?!"
Facing the emperor who suddenly became famous, the Censor dared not be negligent. He quickly whispered: "Report to the emperor, roared with the golden palace, 80 sticks, swears to scold the king, and execute him in a lingchi..."
"Uh..." Hearing.
Lingchi, two words, Longqing got goosebumps all over his body, and took the initiative to reduce his sentence and said, "No matter the latter crime, just press the Roaring Golden Palace and push it out and beat it to a small one... Oh, four... twenty sticks!"
The tall and strong general of the Han Dynasty immediately left work, picked up Zheng Luchun's arms, and dragged him out.
No one pleaded for Zheng Luchun, and the six ministers and nine ministers thought he was too much, while the censors all expressed envious eyes, jealous of him as he could finally become famous.
"Forget it..." From the place where Zheng Luchun knelt, to the entrance of the hall, it was only twenty steps away. In such a short time, it was enough for Long Qing to calm down and said, "Turn him out and don't beat him." It turned out that he saw the imperial front.
Please rehabilitate the unjust prison of Jiajing, report the book, and think, once this precept is opened, what is the difference between me and my devil dad?

After putting the talkative Zheng Luchun out of the hall, Longqing's good mood disappeared. Seeing that the ministers stopped talking, he asked, "Is it okay?"
"It's gone, it's gone..." The ministers quickly shook their heads, afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, and added: "It's gone today."
"Oh..." Long Qing nodded and said, "Then let's retreat." He said, "When you let me go, I stood up. Amid the sound of respectful sending, the emperor was almost walking down the imperial stairs. Suddenly, he stopped again and found the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Gao Yao in the crowd and said, "Gao Aiqing, have you not received the note of the couplet?"
Gao Yao quickly said, "Go back to the emperor, I received it."
"Why...?" Long Qing said vaguely: "What about it?"
"Because..." Gao Yao's answer was unambiguous: "The court does not have this budget, and the Ministry of Revenue does not know the use of His Majesty's money, so he cannot ask the cabinet for instructions!"
"Oh..." Long Qing groaned, "I will write that couplet to you again..." After saying that, he left in a clear displeasure.
Looking at this scene, Xu Jie shook his head helplessly.
.
.
.
.
.
Just as Longqing was crushed by Jiajing.
After climbing the branch, the bad roots exploded, and the ministers were also suppressed by Jiajing. Now that the mountains are gone, the censors are fighting to discuss things, and the ministers are proud to offend the superiors. If they continue for a long time, how can the emperor's authority remain? The ministers will become increasingly disrespectful to Your Majesty.
.
.
.
.
.
In fact, he knew very well that there was a big reason for this, which was the result of his indulgence in his own way of speaking.
He still relies heavily on censors, and at least he dared not change his mind before achieving his goal.
The emperor left, but the ministers still stood still because they wanted to recommend the Minister of Rites. The cabinet minister Zhilang had already received a prop and asked the six ministers and nine ministers, officials above the ministers and ministers to recommend them first and then secretly decide. The result was soon out, both expected and beyond people's expectations.
As expected, Shen Mo, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was naturally elected as the Minister of Rites.
.
.
.
.
.
Because he is the only candidate, no one comes out to compete with him.
Unexpectedly, all thirty-six votes were passed in total, without abstentions, and no one opposed them. This was incredible. Because it was not uncommon for a single candidate, but all the ministers who had the right to vote voted voted for support and seemed to have never appeared.
Because you have reached a certain level of official position, you cannot have enemies or opponents. Even if you are a good person like Li Chunfang, you still have envy, jealous and hate him and dislike him. Therefore, it is almost impossible to pass the vote unanimously.
But silence did it.
Chapter completed!
