Dong dong dong...
As the drum tower beat, Wei Shuyu, who was sleeping, opened his eyes, and then followed the ministers into the palace.
After a series of complicated procedures, Wei Shuyu was arranged outside the palace.
The supervisory censor has the power to go to court, but that is only limited to the time of impeachment.
Normally, his position is outside the main hall.
There are a lot of state affairs today.
In particular, Songtsen Gampo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which was very grand.
This ritual alone takes about half a day to perform.
Then there is the matter of state.
The process of a court meeting is divided into four steps...
1. Chaoji: It means hundreds of officials come to give advice.
2. Opening speech: The emperor made a speech, emphasizing the principles of governing the country and explaining the court's policies.
3. Memorial: The ministers take turns to submit the memorial and report on the matters under their jurisdiction.
Fourth, discussion: start a discussion based on the memorials of the officials.
After all this was done, the emperor would basically ask if the ministers were okay, and if not, he would withdraw from the court.
It's almost time for impeachment.
If an admonishment minister like Wei Shuyu is to be impeached, he needs to inform the eunuch in advance. The eunuch will lead him into the hall when it is about to end, but he still stands at the back.
"Your Majesty, you still have something to report."
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and naturally saw Wei Shuyu.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"
The officials couldn't help but look back and saw Wei Shuyu holding a wat board and bowing to Li Shimin.
"It's Shuyu."
Li Shimin smiled kindly: "This is your first time to formally go to court, are you nervous?"
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes in their hearts.
Wei Shuyu had made trouble in the Tai Chi Hall several times, and he was so nervous.
It's us who should be nervous.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am still adaptable." Wei Shuyu responded.
"You come up to the hall, I can't hear you clearly from behind." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Can't hear clearly?
After Li Shimin finished speaking, all the ministers became concerned.
There is no big thing that cannot be done before the palace, no great achievement that cannot be done...
Could it be that someone is going to be operated on again?
"promise."
Wei Shuyu accepted the order, then held his head high, walked calmly past the officials, and walked to the front of the hall.
"Shu Yu, tell me..." Li Shimin asked in a pretending to be relaxed tone.
"His Majesty……"
However, just as Wei Shuyu was about to speak, Changsun Wuji took the lead in attacking.
"Your Majesty, the ivory wat tablet can only be held by officials of the fifth rank and above. Wei Shuyu, the eighth-rank censor, is already holding an elephant wat in his hand."
As Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the officials noticed the elephant tablet in Wei Shuyu's hand.
Those who can enter the Tai Chi Hall during court meetings are basically Xiang Huts.
Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, but they really didn't notice this detail.
"Changsun Sikong, this elephant wat in my hand belongs to my father, I'm just borrowing it for a while."
Wei Shuyu responded calmly.
"borrow?"
Changsun Wuji sneered: "Ever since the Supreme Emperor stipulated that only officials of the fifth rank and above can hold elephant wats, there has been a clear division. How can we borrow it?"
"Today you can borrow a wat board, but tomorrow you have to borrow official uniforms and official positions?"
"This is a court, not a children's house."
Changsun Wuji's words were sonorous and powerful, and all the ministers nodded in agreement.
Changsun Wuji is also full of confidence.
Now let’s see what else you have to say.
"Is it that serious?"
Wei Shuyu looked at the wat tablet in his hand, and bowed to Li Shimin under the disbelief of everyone: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, for neglecting his duties and being suspected of dereliction of duty!"
The officials were dumbfounded.
what's going on?
When it comes to your Wat Ban issue, what are you talking about about Gao Shilian?
Although he is Changsun Wuji's uncle, he doesn't have the impeachment method like you.
"Wei Shuyu, please stop messing around. Now that you are talking about your Wat Ban, what does it have to do with the staff?" Changsun Wuji asked angrily.
Wei Shuyu straightened up: "Isn't it a matter of the Ministry of Personnel to appoint an official? They only gave me documents and official uniforms, but they didn't equip me with a wat board."
"..."
The ministers were speechless.
Just such a trivial matter, you impeach someone.
"Asshole!"
Changsun Wuji was almost driven crazy: "Do you understand the rules of the officialdom? The ivory wat board and official department will naturally prepare it, but you, an eighth-grade official, can only use bamboo wat. Do you know what bamboo wat is?" It’s bamboo.”
"Can't you just split the bamboo yourself and do it yourself?"
Wei Shuyu suddenly realized.
"You mean, Zhu Huat was all done by himself." Wei Shuyu asked.
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has lost his temper in front of you..."
Ignoring Wei Shuyu, Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin.
"Grandson Sikong, wait a minute."
Wei Shuyu stopped him with a smile: "You said it was wrong for me to hold my father's wat board, but what kind of crime is this?"
"It's disrespectful to be disrespectful before you!" Changsun Wuji replied without thinking.
"Oh, is it so?"
Wei Shuyu smiled and said: "Is this also what the Supreme Emperor decided at the beginning?"
"this……"
The eldest grandson Wuji is a Muggle.
At the beginning, Li Yuan only said that he was holding an elephant wat of rank five or above, but he didn't say anything about the crime.
The elephant wat is just an office supplies for recording things. Whoever is too full would build this thing to break the rules.
Once the official rank is reached, the officials will naturally make arrangements.
"Since the Supreme Emperor didn't commit any crime, why should he mention it as a breach of etiquette?"
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes: "Or, let's invite the Supreme Emperor here and see how he is convicted?"
Changsun Wuji was speechless again.
Now, no one in the entire court knows that you and the Supreme Emperor wear the same pants.
The wholesale of seals is called smooth.
The ministers couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this.
Yes, Changsun Wuji was defeated again.
This is also an iron-headed boy, who has been defeated and defeated many times.
I have never seen him defeat the Wei family once.
"okay."
Li Shimin finally stopped him: "But don't hold on to small things. This is Shuyu's first time in court. It's understandable."
Then Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu again: "Since this is your first offense, I will let it go. Don't make such small mistakes in the future."
"promise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
They both bowed.
"It's getting late, Shuyu. If you have something to report, please report it as soon as possible." Li Shimin said again.
Wei Shuyu's expression finally became solemn. He bowed slowly, placed the Wat Board in front of him, covered his face, looked at the Wat Board, and started reading... (Hiding his face to show respect for the emperor, and reading the cheat sheet by the way)
"Your Majesty, I believe that although the world seems to be prosperous, it is still in straits. Although the people are not starving to death, they are still poor. The imperial court has followed the ancient governance and has done everything, but it cannot fundamentally solve the people's sufferings."
"I think that if we say it's a prosperous age, it's better to say it's fake prosperity!"
"Just like this natural disaster, just two places have consumed a lot of national treasury savings. What if there is another one or two?"
"Can the imperial court still allocate relief materials?"
"What if foreign countries attack Datang again at this time?"
"Can the imperial court still provide food and salary?"
"I think that although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is only superficial and cannot actually withstand multiple blows..."
As Wei Shuyu's words fell, many ministers also felt that it made sense.
Not to mention anything else, these two natural disasters are the best examples.
Only by uniting all the ministers can we get through this, which is really not easy.
If Wei Shuyu can come up with a way without affecting their interests, they will naturally give their full support.
"oh?"
Li Shimin nodded cooperatively: "According to Aiqing's words, what changes should Datang make?"
Wei Shuyu took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he saluted Li Shimin solemnly.
The steady and heroic voice said each word, like bombs exploding in the Tai Chi Hall, and all the officials changed their colors in shock...
"The people are prosperous and the country is strong; the people are prosperous and the country is prosperous."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to focus on business, improve the status of merchants, and implement business taxation policies to increase the revenue of the national treasury!"
(There was no commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty, only city tax. Guan: You need to pay when passing the customs. City: You need to pay when doing business in the mutual market.)
