These memorials were drafted by the cabinet and then sent to Emperor Jingxing.
In the cabinet, there is a small group of people who are the most well-educated people in the world. In addition, they have been tempered in the Hanlin Academy and have some insights into handling government affairs.
Therefore, although they do not have decision-making power, they do have voting power.
What is the right to vote?
They wrote down their respective opinions on the memorial, then voted, and finally handed it over to Emperor Jing Xing for decision-making.
In this way, Emperor Jing Xing did not need to read the entire memorial, but only needed to read the draft.
Greatly improved the central work efficiency and speed.
This power is also the reason why the cabinet is called a cabinet.
Only when you enter the cabinet and gain the right to vote can you be considered a true bachelor, a bachelor who is qualified to help the emperor govern the country!
But even with the help of the cabinet and bachelors, the number of memorials would not decrease. They were still overwhelming, piling up like a mountain in front of Emperor Jing Xing.
Just when Emperor Jing Xing bowed his head between the papers, Zheng Ying, the general manager of the palace and the eunuch of Emperor Jing Xing's daily life, walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, Li Shanchang, the Imperial Academy's wine sacrificer, wants to see you."
Emperor Jing Xing was a little surprised when he heard this. It was getting late. Why did Li Jijiu enter the palace at this time?
Could it be something big?
However, he has always been generous to capable people like Li Shanchang.
I thought that after two more years of hard work in the position of offering wine in the Imperial College, I could join the cabinet and become a bachelor!
So even though he was surprised at this moment, he still waved his hand and said: "Xuan."
Soon, Li Shanchang came in with anger.
Then he used his solid language skills to vividly describe what he saw and heard in the Imperial College today.
He angrily rebuked Zhu Ben, how shameless and crazy he was.
Press the faces of scholars and scholar-bureaucrats to the ground and rub them together!
However, even though he was so angry, Li Shanchang only made objective statements, adding a little subjective emotion, but did not expressly or imply that Emperor Jing Xing punished Zhu Ben severely.
As a minister, the most important thing is to know a degree.
After all, they are just ministers, and their greatest power is to give advice.
Whether to adopt it or not is a matter for the emperor.
It is human nature for them to add their own opinions to their advice.
But if you want to do things for the emperor, you are risking the disapproval of the world, and it is an act of treason.
Not only Li Shanchang, but also all the bachelors in the cabinet have always understood this.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Emperor Jing Xing relied on the scholar-bureaucrats to govern the world and did not criticize them too much.
Because..., they will assess the situation!
Those who do not know how to assess the situation will not be able to enter the cabinet or the center of power.
After Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he slapped the document and said angrily: "This is really unreasonable!"
"Not long ago, someone recommended to me that the Marquis of Yangcheng is brave and good at fighting, and can take on a big position."
"It is up to him to go south to fight against Chen."
"Now it seems that his son is acting like this. It's the father's fault that he doesn't teach him!"
"The Qing family will go back first. I will make my own decision at this time and will definitely give an explanation to the Imperial College."
When Li Shanchang heard this, he knew that this was the emperor's statement, so he immediately accepted it, bowed his hands, and said, "My ministers, please retire."
After Li Shanchang left, Emperor Jing Xing's expression eased slightly.
But he is still angry and angry, and he is just a flying eagle and a lackey on weekdays.
The crickets are not enough for him to fight, so he has to touch the wasp.
That can sting!
Could it be that the child of the Yangcheng Hou family has a bad mind?
This is really unreasonable.
The matter of going south is of great importance, so naturally we cannot make such an arbitrary decision.
What he said just now was just for Li Shanchang to listen to and stabilize his mentality.
It's just...who will go south really needs to be discussed.
At first, I wanted to send Marquis Wuling south. After all, he had just returned from the border of Chen State and had been dealing with Chen State for a long time and had rich experience.
However, he heard that his son's behavior was bad and his conduct was bad, so he gave up this idea and appointed Yangcheng Marquis instead.
The Ministry of War has even begun preparations.
But now it seems that it is still hasty.
No matter how bad Li Changkong's behavior was, could it be worse than Zhu Ben's?
If Marquis Wuling is said to be incapable of teaching his children, wouldn't Marquis Yangcheng be even better?
The eldest brother of the two, let alone the second brother, is no better than the other.
Although the matter of going south has to be put on hold for the time being and discussed later, the punishment of Zhu Ben cannot be postponed.
The most powerful thing about a scholar is his mouth or the pen in his hand.
Now that I have suffered such humiliation, it is a credit to Li Shanchang that he handled it well and did not allow the matter to escalate further.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what trouble will happen.
"Zheng Banban, how should we handle this matter?" Emperor Jing Xing said to Zheng Ying.
In Daqian, only eunuchs who hold high positions can get the title of companion, which means companionship.
On weekdays, as the general manager of the palace, Zheng Ying also had to be involved in some affairs, so he thought Emperor Jing Xing would share his worries.
At this moment, it was not too abrupt for Emperor Jing Xing to ask him for advice.
Hearing this, Zheng Ying pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Ben has made a big mistake and must be punished."
"It's just that the review is coming soon, which is a top priority for the noble disciples."
"If we punish him severely at this time, it will affect his review."
"It will inevitably appear that His Majesty is not lenient enough. Why not wait until after the review and see the results before imposing punishment?"
When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. This method was considered safe.
The review can be regarded as the imperial examination for the noble children. Punishing Zhu Ben before the review is tantamount to ruining the future of a person. Emperor Jing Xing treated his ministers generously and could not do such a thing.
"Then let's wait until the review and then impose the punishment."
"Go and draw up a decree, tell it to Li Shanchang, and make him feel at ease."
"Draft another decree and go to the Yangcheng Marquis Mansion and tell Zhu Ben that if his grades are acceptable, he will be given a lighter punishment. If his grades are not good, well, he will be punished severely!"
"Your Majesty is wise, I will go now."
…
Seven days later, Li Changkong was also astonished that Zhu Ben had committed such a big thing, and except for his usual frown, he looked like a normal person.
This... is it possible that the teachers and students of the Imperial College are so generous?
Moreover, after this battle, many people actually felt that Zhu Ben was courageous and courageous, and they only followed his lead.
Three days later, Zhu Ben, with his head full of hair, once again walked into the Yinsheng Teaching Building of the Imperial College with high spirits.
But this time, he wore a bamboo tube around his waist.
During his lunch break, he opened the bamboo tube halfway and saw a huge wasp.
When everyone saw this, the fear of being dominated by the tail spines suddenly surged into their hearts, and they retreated continuously.
Zhu Ben waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was nothing serious.
"Don't be afraid, this one has been tamed by my young master and will never sting anyone easily."
As he spoke, he released the wasp completely. Miraculously, after the wasp flew out of the bamboo tube, it actually didn't sting anyone anymore, but circled around Zhu Ben.
This..., everyone was immediately shocked by this scene, and they were amazed.
Even Li Changkong was a little surprised.
Taming wasps is common in modern times, but in Daqian, it is extraordinary to be able to do this in a short period of time without the experience of our ancestors.
Could it be that Zhu Ben has some inexplicable talent in such things?
