Listening to Gao Gu's sincere suggestion, Chen Xun's face darkened.
He knew that coming to him at this time would be up to no good!
No matter whether the emperor did it because of a moment of negligence or deliberately.
Anyway, entering the palace at this time is to refute the emperor's face, and a scolding will definitely be inevitable.
This Gao Shiyong was obviously the one who drafted the memorial, but he wanted to drag himself into the position. He was really cunning.
But there is nothing he can do. The cabinet is now headed by him. If something like this happens, he has to come forward even if he doesn't want to.
Sighing, Chen Xun stood up and said.
"In that case, I will let you go on this trip!"
Mr. Chen can add an accent to the three words "as you go".
The meaning is obvious.
Although Chen Xun believed that the memorial was drafted by him and would not have other opinions, in the final analysis, it was not drafted by him.
Since it was you, Gao Shiyong, who caused the matter, then in front of the Emperor, you will have to deal with the bad luck.
I, Chen Dezun, am on this trip "as you please", not the main spokesperson.
Relatively speaking, Gao Gu was very calm. A smile appeared on his face and he cupped his hands.
"In that case, I'll bother Cisuke."
He knew in his heart that this Chen Dezun only knew how to compete with others in terms of face.
When he was actually in front of the emperor, Takaya didn't believe that he would be willing to give up the opportunity for Jisuke to speak first.
After all, such small details often reflect status.
For Chen Xun, an official fan, Duan Duan will not lose the "big" because of the "small".
This is the only time he can show off his rhetoric.
The two of them stood up hypocritically, and as soon as they walked to the door, they saw Cheng Jing walking in wearing eunuch robes and a fur hat.
Then, Gao Gu saw Chen Xun running out at a speed that was not suitable for his age.
Then, with a smile on his face, he faced the direction Cheng Jing was coming from, cupped his hands in salute, and said.
"Eunuch Cheng is here for the memorial to the Ministry of Rites that the Emperor has just approved?"
Cheng Jing stopped and said with a slightly confused expression.
"Our family is..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Cifu.
"I know that the emperor would not do such a reckless thing. The imperial family went to Beijing, wasting people and money, and wasting a lot of money. Now that the imperial treasury is tight, the emperor sympathized with the imperial family. I guess he asked Eunuch Cheng to come and get back the memorial from the Ministry of Rites?"
Gao Gu was on the side, and as soon as his thoughts changed, he understood Chen Xun's intention.
This matter involves the emperor's face.
It would be inappropriate for either of them to mention these two cabinet ministers.
Only Cheng Jing is the one who is close to the emperor, and he will not get into trouble even if he says it.
Moreover, the emperor's "active" withdrawal can also protect the emperor's face to the greatest extent, which can be said to be the best way to deal with it.
So Gao Gu echoed closely and said.
"That's right, Eunuch Cheng. When the clan enters the capital, the people will inevitably be disturbed. The emperor must be considerate of the hardships faced by the people, so he sends his father-in-law to collect the memorial?"
Faced with such obvious hints from the two cabinet ministers, if Cheng Jing didn't understand, he would have spent so long in the ceremonial supervisor in vain.
After cupping his hands, Cheng Jing spoke.
"It turns out that the two pavilion elders were talking about this matter, but don't worry, His Majesty has just summoned the great uncle to the palace to discuss this matter."
"After a while, the decree will reach the cabinet. Your Majesty has strictly ordered that when the clan enters the capital this time, from the time it sets off to the capital, it is not allowed to disturb the people, nor is it allowed to accept entertainment from local officials. The expenses of each clan during the journey will be determined by the fiefdom. The feudal king will bear it."
this……
The two cabinet ministers looked at each other, and in the end, Chen Xun asked hesitantly.
"Eunuch Cheng is saying that the great uncle has agreed to this matter?"
Cheng Jing nodded with a smile.
This time, Chen Xun couldn't understand it.
In fact, the ones who should oppose this matter the most should be the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If the Ministry of Accounts wants to pay, the boss will definitely be unwilling to do so.
Of course, considering that the current Chief Situ of the Household Department was supported by the emperor just because of the peppercorns incident, there is a high probability that he will have to swallow this bitter pill.
But the Ministry of Rites did not object, which surprised them.
The Ministry of Etiquette is typically busy when it is free and busy when it is busy.
In the second half of this year, the Ministry of Etiquette has not been idle. After completing the Eastern Palace Ceremony, the Enthronement Ceremony, and the Queen's Canonization Ceremony, it immediately began to prepare for the Winter Solstice and New Year's Day ceremonies. It was extremely busy.
The clan came to Beijing, and they came to Beijing in such a large number, arranging accommodation, welcoming matters, plus banquets and worship ceremonies.
After such a busy period, the workload of the Rites Department is conservatively estimated to be doubled compared to ordinary years.
Uncle Zong's calm temperament could actually agree to this?
You know, the man in the Ministry of Rites is a big shot, with such seniority that the emperor can only discuss things carefully in front of him.
This kind of practice has been followed for more than ten years. Uncle Zong only needs to say that it has been done every year to get rid of it.
In the end, it was settled like this?
Although a formal decree has not yet been formed, the Ministry of Rites, as the department responsible for the decree, has no objections, so why are they still fussing over it.
If it is a headache, it is also a headache for the Ministry of Accounts, which should contribute money, and the Ministry of Rites, which should contribute efforts.
So, Chen Xun turned sideways and said.
"Your Majesty and the eldest uncle have thought carefully. In the capital, there have not been a large number of royal family members for many years. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. You should really get close to the clan members. Eunuch Cheng is here in the snow. Please go into the public room to warm yourself first."
Gao Gu remained silent and said nothing.
Now, Chen Cifu has not only thrown away his usual image of a good old man, but he is no longer as proud and arrogant towards eunuchs as before.
In an informal occasion like this, sometimes even being polite makes Takagu feel a bit too much.
Cheng Jing was used to it, he cupped his hands and said.
"No need. It happened to be noon. His Majesty felt sorry for the hard work of the two of you and gave a special palace banquet to the two of you. In addition, the memorial to the civil servants presented by the Ministry of Officials has also been concluded. Our family came together to present the edict. Passed on."
When this matter was mentioned, the two ministers became solemn.
The official reward report was not a big deal, but they tacitly agreed to submit it together.
He just knew that the outcome of this memorial would have a considerable impact on the current structure of the court.
At that moment, the two of them prostrated themselves on the ground, waiting for Cheng Jing to deliver the message.
Cheng Jing no longer delayed and said solemnly.
"The Holy Edict was reported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and ordered the cabinet to prepare an edict. Wang Ao, the censor of the capital on the left and the minister of military affairs in Liaodong, together with the prince and grand master, the scholar of Huagaidian, the minister of the Ministry of Human Resources of Jin, entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion, and the censor of the capital on the right was Zijing. The Minister of Military Affairs, Wang Wen, has added a small division to express his admiration for this."
After the words fell, Chen Xun inevitably flashed a look of disappointment.
Although I had known for a long time that someone would definitely take over the position of chief assistant, I was still a little disappointed when I heard the result.
Relatively speaking, Gao Gu, who had no hope, was relatively calm. After listening, he couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Eunuch Cheng, the emperor only gave Wang Jianzhai a young division, without any transfers or dispatches?"
Cheng Jing blinked, shook his head slightly and said.
"That's what the emperor said. We haven't changed a word. The two elders have used the palace banquet, so they can prepare the edict. Our family will go back to the palace right away. You don't need to send it off."
After saying that, Cheng Jing turned around and left, leaving Gao Gu with a frown and Chen Xun who had just reacted.
The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. Instead, they stood up in unison, followed a few waiters carrying dishes, and walked to the vacant public room aside...
