The next day is the regular court meeting that takes place every ten days. As a rule, all civil and military officials in Beijing and above are required to attend.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the elders were waiting outside the Meridian Gate, gathering in twos and threes, talking quietly.
There is never any news hidden in the capital.
What's more, even though Kouque was suppressed, there were so many people involved and the commotion outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate was so loud.
In just one day, everyone in the court knew that a certain left-deputy censor had evil intentions and wanted to incite Kouque and invite his name to buy him.
In the end, it all ended in an anticlimax. He was scolded by General Xian and Yu Shaobao in the street. Not only did the group of officials they managed to pull together dispersed, but he also got involved and was thrown into prison by the Jin Yiwei. What a miserable word. Remarkable?
The elders who had nothing to do with this matter were happily eating melons and laughing at the cowardly and timid group of participants who had no beginning and no end yesterday.
As for those who witnessed it, they were silent and filled with hatred.
In yesterday's scene, the Jin Yiwei almost stabbed them with their embroidered spring knives. Who else would be afraid?
Touching the memorial in their sleeves, the elders made up their minds and decided to impeach Jin Yiwei.
What are you talking about? Why don’t you continue to impeach Wang Wen?
Do you think I'm stupid?
Everyone who didn’t see the leader went in. After being scolded by Mr. Zongxian yesterday, who dares to continue to seek death...
It was almost time to open the palace gates, and Censor Jiuyi began to organize his team. The courtiers were arranged in civil and military positions, and the slightly noisy voices gradually subsided.
Different from the relaxed mood of a group of courtiers who didn't know the situation, the faces of the big bosses standing in the front were neither sad nor happy, and they were very cold.
If you observe carefully, you can clearly feel that the atmosphere in the Hanlin Academy is a bit low, and the cabinet is also a bit strange.
Especially Tsusuke Takatani, who had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, obviously because he didn't sleep well last night.
The loud bell rang, and the heavy palace door was slowly pushed open.
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the officials walked in through the door from the left, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and entered the Fengtian Hall.
The elders are all familiar with the etiquette of the Chang Dynasty. For such occasions, the memorials that can be taken out have basically been decided in advance.
The real decision-making process basically takes place in the morning.
The most important role of Chang Chao is to gather together the many government affairs discussed by the big bosses and announce them to all officials in Beijing.
Because of its ceremonial nature, the Chang Dynasty's performance had strict regulations and order. The first person to go out was Wang Wen, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The old man held the wat tablet in his hand, looked solemn, and played.
"Your Majesty, the inspection process in Beijing is already halfway through. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has proposed new transfers and demotions for eight officials. Peng Shi, the imperial minister, has lost his mother. Please return home to observe the system. Pei Lun, the imperial editor, is sent to Zhenjiang Prefecture to recommend officials to the government. , Hanlin editor Liu Yan supplemented the Shaanxi Road Patrol Censor, Wei Peng, the head of the Household Department, was transferred to Henan Road Patrol Censor..."
Master Tianguan's tone was calm and emotionless, but a burst of discussion quickly arose underneath.
The affairs of the Beijing Procuratorate were known to both the government and the public. Even during this period, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was about to fall out with the Ministry of Civil Affairs because of this incident. Letters of impeachment were handed over to the top, and it is said that they almost even got into trouble in gathering a crowd. , want to impeach.
As a result, the Metropolitan Procuratorate hasn’t figured it out yet, so Lord Tianguan is targeting the Hanlin Academy?
And it was even more blatant than when it was targeted at the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
You must know that those censors who were demoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate have gone through serious examinations and have documented cases.
But this time, the Hanlin Academy did not even mention the assessment results, just the transfer list.
Not only that, although the list of these eight people is said to have been transferred to lower tones, in fact, they are all lower tones.
Peng Shi was quite respectable, but his mother just happened to be mourned, and he had to go back to be controlled according to normal regulations.
But others…
The nobles in the Hanlin Academy are the clearest among the clearest. The reason why so many people are willing to squeeze their heads and sit on the bench in the Hanlin Academy is not only because of the false reputation, but more importantly, because of the real benefits.
According to convention, Hanlin officials would be promoted to one or two levels to fill the vacancies for Qingliu Jing officials. If there was a suitable opportunity, it would not be difficult to even be directly promoted to three levels. This was the role of Hanlin qualifications.
If it is a foreign transfer, it is usually promoted to the third level, usually the fourth-rank counselor of the local chief envoy or the fourth-rank prefect.
But this time, let alone promotions, they were basically promoted, promoted, and even demoted...
Is Master Tianguan crazy?
You must know that the Hanlin itself is not someone to be bullied. Not to mention the current Hanlin bachelor, Gao Gu, the cabinet minister Jiang Yuan, and the minister of Dali Temple Du Ning are all from the Hanlin.
Not to mention, there is also a heavyweight minister in the Hanlin lineage, Chen Xun, Minister of Industry. Although he is not in the capital, his status is there. Doing this would be a bit of a slap in the face, right?
However, to everyone's surprise, after Wang Wen finished speaking, there was no reaction in the palace. Even the emperor didn't ask any questions. He simply said "accurate" and settled the matter.
During the entire process, no big shot stood up or even questioned it, as if this was an ordinary government matter.
Next came the Ministry of Household Affairs, which reported the expenditures of the recent period, and has already made preliminary plans for mutual trading and preliminary preparations for negotiations with the Mongolian mission. Formal negotiations will be launched soon.
There was nothing major happening on the Ministry of War side. The Miao rebellion in the southwest had been mostly pacified. Baoding Bo Liangyao was still very capable of action. After receiving the order, he immediately sent out troops vigorously and resolutely to relieve the danger of Pingyue first, and then attacked several cities in a row. , good news spreads frequently.
The only thing that makes the bosses a little uneasy is that there seems to be some movement in Wala, and requests for additional troops are being requested at various passes to prepare for emergencies. But overall, the situation on the border is relatively stable.
Then there is the Ministry of Punishment. Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji and the Admiral Military Affairs Minister Hou Jing have been escorted back to the capital and imprisoned in imperial prison. The joint investigation documents of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have also been sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Next , which is the interrogation work here in the capital.
Mr. Jin finally showed off his presence and requested that the Ministry of Punishment take charge and start a joint trial among the three departments in seven days.
The Minister of Works was not there, so his presence was not high. Wang Wei, the minister, reported on the recent progress of river construction, and it is said that preparations have already begun.
Finally, the only major thing that the Ministry of Rites has been busy with recently is the draft. After the preliminary selection by the Ministry of Rites, the second selection by the Inner Palace, and the final selection by the Queen Mother, the final list was finally determined.
One concubine, one concubine, four talented people were selected, and four promised people. After the emperor gave his permission, they could start sending envoys and canonizing them.
Once this memorial was published, it dispelled some rumors in the capital.
You must know that this draft is special. Under Hu Hui's support, the Xianfei, one of the four concubines who can only be directly selected in the wedding draft, was selected.
Originally, many people in Beijing speculated that the position of the virtuous concubine was reserved for a cousin from her mother's family in the Chengguo Palace.
But now that the list has been finalized, the virtuous concubine Li is the daughter of Li Tong, the commander of the left guard of the imperial army, and has nothing to do with the Duke of Chengguo.
As for the other selected concubines, most of them came from scholarly families or families with thousands of households, and none of them had particularly high status.
After the six reports were completed, the next step was the various courtyards, temples, and prisons, reporting some insignificant matters, which the emperor approved.
Unknowingly, more than an hour has passed. According to the process, Chang Chao should be almost over.
Just when the bosses were all hungry and wanted to go home quickly and have breakfast before rushing to the Yamen to go to work.
In the cabinet sequence in front of him, Gao Tsefu stepped forward with heavy steps, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"I would like to report to you, Gao Gu, the scholar of Jinshen Palace, the Minister of Household Affairs, that in recent days, I have become weak and sick, and have low energy. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on the government affairs of the court. I beg your majesty to show mercy and allow me to return to my hometown to take care of myself."
