After Zhang Yue said something, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly solidified.
The back hall of Chongzheng Hall is a very vast place, and two little Huangmen were adding incense to the incense burner on the side of the hall.
Suddenly, he felt that the master's tone was stagnant, so he raised his head slightly, only to see the old eunuch at the side of the palace give the two of them a stern look.
Xiao Huangmen, who was able to work in Chongzheng Hall, knew how to watch what was happening. The two of them immediately stopped what they were doing, kowtowed to the officials behind the case, and stepped back and left the hall.
The old eunuch looked solemn, raised the whisk in his hand and said in a high-pitched voice: "Minister, please retire!"
The official's face was a little pale, as if he didn't react for a while.
He was somewhat in disbelief at this moment. Although the servant reminded the two officials to leave, the official waved his hand and asked Zhang Yue, "What did you say just now?"
Lu Hui coughed lightly and winked at Zhang Yue, signaling him to apologize immediately.
Zhang Yue's words were stagnant.
Seeing that Zhang Yue hesitated to answer, the official stared at Zhang Yue, raised his voice slightly, and asked condescendingly: "Qing Zhang, will you tell me what you just said again?"
The eunuch on the side sighed softly, took three steps back and looked at the situation inside the palace.
After Zhang Yue spoke just now, he felt a sense of fear. He even trembled slightly and his heart beat rapidly.
"Why don't you dare?" The official chuckled.
Do you think I dare not?
Zhang Yue's blood was rising at this moment, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "What I just said, your Majesty feels that I am not qualified to hold the post of the three departments. If so, I can report everything to you in detail."
Lu Jie shook his head, a Taichang Cheng actually dared to choke the emperor?
Yes, Taiwanese admonishers often did this during the Renzong Dynasty.
During the reign of Renzong, the status of admonishment on the platform was not high, but in the Renzong dynasty, admonishment on the platform was infinitely higher. However, Renzong's original intention was to use Taiwan's remonstrance to restrict the power of the prime minister, but Nazhi shot himself in the foot.
The real core of Taiwan's remonstrance today is Sima Guang.
Because Sima Guang represented the public opinion of the world, what the emperor feared was public opinion, not Sima Guang himself.
What does Zhang Yue represent?
Is he an admonisher? Dare you choke the emperor like this?
The official's face darkened. If Zhang Yue had been willing to give in, there would have been room for redemption, but now that he had spoken frankly, there would be no room for maneuver between the monarch and his ministers.
When Guan Cai was talking to Zhang Yue and Lu Jie just now, there was still a smile on his face, but now his face had darkened, and an anger was brewing in his heart.
The official took the letter on the case, put it down again, and said in a cold voice: "I heard that Zhang Qing is handing over many people to jail... At best, he promotes talents and does not avoid relatives, at worst, he Let everyone be married to you.”
"The selection of personnel is an official weapon of the imperial court, and the appointment of prison guards is the imperial court's yamen, not Zhang Qing's military governor's yamen!"
In the Song Dynasty, all commanders, supervisors, and county guards could select officials on their own and petition the court to appoint them. This was called appointing officials. But Zhang Yue was not among them.
Although the official was furious in his heart at this moment, he still maintained restraint on his face.
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have been informed by Liu Neiquan that all the appointments and appointments at Jiaoyinjian were made by Liu Neiquan, and the decrees were obtained from the imperial court. I don't know where the words about appointing people as relatives come from?"
The official said: "Really? Why does Zhang Qing only use imperial students? Fill his former classmates into important positions?"
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, the students from the Imperial Academy are all talented people from all over the world. They were recommended by the prefectures and counties and sent to the Imperial College. They have all read poetry and books, and they are all talented people. I recruit talents for the imperial court, so I use my old friendship with classmates to spare no effort. They have the audacity to invite three times and five times, so they don't mind the humbleness of the officials and are willing to submit to serving as supervisors. I don't know what's wrong with this?"
The official said: "This... the imperial student is Han Jun, and he is indeed a talented person. I can save you the trouble of recruiting an imperial student. So besides the imperial student? I heard that you have been entrusted by many ministers to place their nephews in Jiaoyin. Supervisor, arrange dispatches. What talents do these people have?"
Zhang Yue said: "Since your Majesty talks about talents, I dare to ask Your Majesty what talents are?"
"In my opinion, those imperial students who come from poor families but have outstanding talents, and who can each shoulder their own responsibility are indeed talents. But there is another class. They come from official families. They have been in the officialdom for a long time and are familiar with people. They have What I call a resource is also a first-class talent."
The officials were shocked when they heard this. It was clear that Zhang Yue was on the job of seducing the prisoner in exchange for the so-called resources of the ministers. Such an act of selling an official position and getting a title could be said to be so fresh and refined.
"Is familiarity also a talent?" the official asked.
Zhang Yue said: "That's right. Jiaoyinjian is also a yamen, and it is located in Luoyang, Shaanxi, and Bianjing. In this way, you have to interact with officials and deal with various yamen in the local area and Beijing."
"If I only use officials who are capable but unfamiliar with the affairs, then no matter how capable they are, they will not even be able to enter the yamen, let alone deal with the yamen."
"besides……"
Lu Hui looked on stunned.
But seeing that Zhang Yue spoke so righteously and sternly, the officials were speechless after a long meal. And there was no intention of stopping this long talk, but as Zhang Yue talked more and more, he became more and more excited, and he accidentally sprayed white saliva from his mouth, which actually splashed on the table in front of the official.
Lu Jie became more and more confident as he listened to Zhang Yue's words. He actually forgot to remind him for a moment. He was surprised before, but now he found it funny.
How could any minister seize the day like this?
Is this still not enough? The spittle flying from his mouth was about to hit the official's face.
Lu Jie coughed heavily at the side. Zhang Yue listened to Lu Jie's reminder and then calmed down and said: "Rong Chen will talk about the rest later..."
You haven't finished speaking yet? Could it be that he is a talkative person?
Lu Jie thought to himself that he had really underestimated Zhang Yue. He usually looked so humble and polite, but he had such a serious temper that he didn't even leave any room for officials.
The officials couldn't help but get angry. Even though what Zhang Yue said made sense, he was a minister after all. How could he be so reasonable?
Do you, Zhang Yue, sincerely look down on me as an official?
After all, the official had just become the emperor, and he didn't know what to do before his authority was established. At this moment, he said angrily: "If you don't talk about the employment, then it is true that the accounts handed over to the prisoner are not clear!"
No government account in the world is clear.
The official breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally gained some ground. Just when he was about to scold Zhang Yue for concealing the report of the prisoner's accounts, he saw Zhang Yue holding Bai Jian under his arm, squatting down and grabbing the boot from the boot. He took out a thin account-like thing and offered it to him: "Your Majesty, I have been carrying this account with you all the time. I also ask your Majesty to check it. If there is anything unclear, I will report it to you." ...and crashed to death in this golden palace!"
Zhang Yue pointed towards the three thick pillars in the corner of the palace, and then resolutely handed the account book to the king.
The official was also shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Yue to actually carry the account book with him. At this moment, he had no way to get Zhang Yue. At this moment, in order to save face, he couldn't help but waved his sleeves and scolded Zhang Yue: "Arrogant!"
After saying this, the official was about to leave the palace in shock and anger, but when he waved his sleeves, he found that they were motionless. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhang Yue who had grabbed his dragon sleeves.
Zhang Yue presented the account book and said like a stubborn cow: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Jie and other senior officials exclaimed in unison.
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
