Let’s not mention Yunzhou County for now.
Bianjing.
As Zhao Ming supervises the country, the fourth and fifth princes fell into silence.
However, as the prince became more and more skillful in handling government affairs while in charge of the country, and was recognized by many ministers, they gradually became unable to sit still.
As a result, a conspiracy against the prince quietly unfolded.
"Your Highness! This is the memorial for you all to present today."
As the prince's eunuch Li Wen handed Kang a large bag of memorials into the Chengqian Palace, Zhao Ming's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.
He could clearly feel that something was getting more and more wrong recently.
In the past, when my father was here, although there were many memorials every day, they were only a few dozen.
But since three days ago, the number of memorials sent to the palace for review every day has unexpectedly increased.
This is already the fourth sack today. Since the morning, officials from various ministries have been making sacks frequently.
It would be fine if they were all excerpts about important matters, but during his review process, it was obvious that these excerpts were mostly trivial matters.
For example, if something is damaged somewhere in the yamen and you want to apply for a replacement, everything is sent to him.
This also caused the number of memorials that needed to be reviewed to increase from dozens to hundreds now. Even if he reviewed them from morning to night, he could not finish them.
In the civil and military dynasties, one person could keep him busy for a whole day, not to mention that many people wrote more than one copy. The papers that could have been sent to him for review should have been urgent and important, and those that looked like replacing new yamen tools should have been reviewed by the prime minister.
After discovering something was wrong, Zhao Ming immediately asked Li Wen to summon Prime Minister Zhang He to ask about the situation. However, he learned that Prime Minister Zhang He had taken half a month's leave after the morning meeting, saying that he was not feeling well and needed to recuperate. a period of time.
This resulted in many discounts that were originally supposed to be sent to Zhang He being sent to him.
Originally, according to Zhang He's approach, Zhang He had a small team composed entirely of new Hanlin recruits. The Hanlin members in this team had no other official positions and still had the title of Hanlin, which belonged to the prime minister and was borrowed from the Hanlin Academy. , doing clerical work, similar to a group of secretaries.
Only such a prime minister can handle such huge imperial affairs every day.
But now that Prime Minister Zhang Heyi has asked for leave, naturally there is no one to deal with these matters, and it all falls on the crown prince Zhao Ming, so Zhao Ming suddenly feels the pressure increase.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Ming thought that since Zhang He could mobilize Hanlin to help him handle things, he could do it too, and there was no need to carry it all by himself.
So everyone immediately went to the Hanlin Academy to mobilize a group of Hanlin. Then Li Wen left as quickly as he came back.
The reason was that the envoys of the Hanlin Academy stopped him. The reason was that the Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy would be the mainstay of the future government. Now they should concentrate on learning how to be an official so that they would not look like a fool when they serve in the future. It was time for the prince to call him to deal with some trivial matters at such a critical moment.
When Zhao Ming heard the anger, he immediately became angry.
If the prime minister borrows it, it will be fine. If you follow the prime minister, you will not deal with trivial matters. If you borrow this, you will deal with trivial matters. Is it possible that I, a prince, can't compare to him?
Dang even took Li Min all the way to the outside of the Hanlin Academy.
As soon as he arrived outside the hospital, Song Shaowen, the envoy of the Hanlin Academy, came to greet him with his deputy envoy Li Wanqing.
"I will see His Royal Highness the Supervisor!"
"snort!"
Zhao Ming snorted coldly, stared at the two people who were bending and bowing in front of him with cold eyes, and said coldly:
"The envoy of the Song Dynasty still knows that I am the supervisor of the country!"
Song Shaowen said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the supervisor of the country that His Majesty personally ordered before his training. I naturally know that."
After hearing this, Zhao Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he suddenly shouted:
"Since you know! Why did you stop me in every possible way when I sent someone to transfer two envoys?
Could it be that you have never taken this palace seriously? Or maybe you simply don’t care about your father’s appointment of me as the superintendent of the country? ! "
As soon as Zhao Ming said these words, not only Song Shaowen, but also the Vice-President Li Wanqing on the side could not help but change their expressions, showing a look of fear.
The clear meaning of these words was that they were disobedient and disobeyed the emperor's orders.
If they were really given this name, the official uniforms they were wearing today would probably have to be stripped off!
After all, he is an old fox. Song Shaowen only panicked for a moment and then quickly calmed down. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and said:
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? It is natural for His Highness to exercise the right of supervising the country as the superintendent of the country, but calling Hanlin is not within the scope of the power of supervising the country given by His Majesty.
How can we say that we don't care about His Majesty's will to supervise the country? "
After saying this, Song Shaowen handed over his hand and then said: "Your Highness, the Hanlin Academy is a place where the country reserves talents. It is of great importance. If anyone feels that there is not enough manpower, you can come to our Hanlin Academy to recruit people.
Then wouldn’t it mean that our Hanlin Academy has become a place for doing odd jobs?
This is not only an insult to the talents of the country, but also irresponsible to the court! "
Zhao Ming immediately sneered when he heard this and said, "Is it an insult to talents to cooperate with me? But how can I remember that when Prime Minister Zhang He transferred people in the Hanlin Academy in the past, you, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, did not stop him like he did today, and even wished he could give more It looked like the prime minister was sending two people away.
What is your explanation for this, the Song Yuan Envoy? ! "
Since Song Shaowen dared not let Zhao Ming transfer people, he had already made preparations. Hearing this, he said calmly: "The prime minister is the head of the officials, and the Hanlin officials are the mainstay of the future court.
In daily work, the Prime Minister can call them around, which is to teach the younger generations. With the Prime Minister's guidance, these Hanlins can learn more about the ways of being an official and accumulate enough experience for entering the officialdom in the future. .
Of course I have no reason to stop him. "
When Song Shaowen said these extremely shameless words, Zhao Ming also realized that this guy was clearly making things difficult for him.
He couldn't help but sneer again and again.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! If he borrows from Zhang He, he will teach the younger generation, but if I borrow, it will insult the talents.
What a Hanlin Academy, what a Song Shaowen!
I understand, I understand!
You guys are really good at it! What a good idea!
Does Zhang He really think that without Zhang Butcher, I will have to eat dolphins with hair on them?
If you bring me a message for him, this message is also for you.
The path is yours to choose, so it’s best not to regret it in the future! "
Song Shaowen saluted with a calm expression: "I don't quite understand what His Highness is talking about, but I will fulfill my duties as an official. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
Zhao Ming looked at him deeply, then flicked his sleeves and robe, and shouted coldly: "Let's go!"
Then he strode back to the palace, and Li Wen and others hurriedly followed.
Behind him, Song Shaowen's voice sounded again:
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Highness!"
Creak, creak, creak!
Zhao Ming's fists clenched loudly!
Gritting his teeth, he secretly made up his mind to give them some color!
I, Zhao Ming, will definitely avenge today's shame!
