Everyone knows that there has been trouble in the Ministry of Punishment recently. Now Sun Fuga and Cheng Yu come out and walk towards Tai Chi Palace. Everyone also knows that the Cabinet has reprimanded them. It is obvious that the number one and number two figures in their Ministry of Punishment have come out together. There are special circumstances.
Everyone is just watching the excitement and don’t think it’s a big deal.
"Brother, look, it's Sun Fuga and Cheng Yu from the Ministry of Punishment."
"I know, I know the cabinet has reprimanded me for not doing things well. It's far worse than Dali Temple, let alone Jinyiwei."
"I heard from my seventh uncle that the Ministry of Punishment has disappointed His Majesty this time, and there is a high probability that it will be abolished."
"What, it's fake. If the Ministry of Justice is abolished, who will hand over the work of the Ministry of Justice? I think it should be replaced by a chief."
"Sun Fujia is too old to be reused anymore."
"This is somewhat reasonable, but the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice are rotten from the root. What's the use of changing the chief officer?"
"how do I say this?"
"Have you ever heard of the black market in Chang'an City?"
"I've heard about it, but I've never seen it, so it's fake~!"
"We don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, this is Chang'an City. There is a place under the emperor's feet. The Ministry of Punishment has been operating here for many years without taking care of it. Your Majesty can't tolerate sand in his eyes. What do you think? What’s the final result of the Criminal Department~!”
Listening to the words of their companions, others made calculations in their minds. If it was true what their colleagues said, His Majesty might actually remove the Criminal Department and replace it with another department when he is angry.
"Although there are not many new departments established in the Tang Dynasty, they are all very important. If the Ministry of Justice cannot keep up with His Majesty's pace, it is possible that it will have to be replaced. Even if it is not abolished, at least the chief officer will have to be replaced."
The news that the government offices were nearby spread quickly. Sun Fuga and Cheng Yu arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace. Several government offices in the Tang Dynasty knew that Sun Fuga and Cheng Yu from the Punishment Department had gone to Taiji Palace.
Abolition of the Ministry of Justice
Sun Fujia is going to retire and return to his hometown
Cheng Yu was implicated by Sun Fuga
Cheng Yu and Sun Fuga stepped down together
Cheng Yu took over Sun Fuga's position and took charge of both the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment alone.
All kinds of news come out one after another
Tai Chi Palace is still the Tai Chi Palace in his memory. The difference is that Tai Chi Palace has been idle for a long time. Li Mingda's original idea of letting three provinces and six ministries come to work has been shelved for a long time.
The Tai Chi Palace was heavily guarded along the way, especially where it was in contact with the Li Zheng Palace. There were even more guards there. His predecessor, Emperor Li Shimin, lived there.
Although Li Shimin was usually present at the annual meeting, and there was nothing unusual about drinking and chatting with others, Sun Fujia always felt that something was wrong.
The Imperial Study Room is newly built. Sun Fujia is still amazed by this three-story super-tall building. The reinforced concrete and other things are really amazing. The building with a height of more than ten meters was built in just a few days. If not If the wooden decoration has been used for a long time, it will be used earlier.
The cabinet was set up downstairs in the imperial study room. Sun Fujia didn't understand why Li Mingda set it up like this at first, but now he understands that all the confidential military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty must be completed in front of his own feet. You can see it anytime if you want to take a tour.
The power of cabinet ministers is so great that it is most appropriate and convenient to keep them under their noses.
really
The heart of an emperor always likes to control everything.
"Master Sun, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Sun Fujia looking around all the way, Cheng Yu joked: "Do you still want to break into the Tai Chi Palace by force? I don't think you can run ten steps."
"Ten steps, you think too highly of me. I won't be able to run in three steps at most."
"Hahaha, Mr. Sun is funny"
Sun Fujia patted his chubby belly: "To be honest, look at how I've eaten over the years. I can't keep up with His Majesty's new learning in literature, martial arts, running, let alone other things. I’m really old, I can’t keep up anymore~!”
At this point, I didn’t forget to add some drama to myself. This is the Sun Fujia family, old fox.
But Cheng Yu suddenly remembered in his heart that he had been born in two lives. The old fox seemed to count himself, but he was a fox with the same job as a hunting dog. Suddenly, he missed his last master, Cao Gong. Cao Gong had a lot of mountains and seas in his heart. , possessing both literary, military and military skills and courage, he can be called a generation of emperors. I don’t know if my master will recruit Cao Gong?
The Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. It is true that your Majesty has magical powers and some things need people to do them. Duke Cao can naturally handle many tasks. Your Majesty should consider it.
Imperial study room entrance
Yu Xiaoqian and Zhang Nan were squatting by the pillar at the door, muttering about something. Seeing Idiom and Sun Fujia coming, the two stood up. Zhang Nan stood up and whispered to Yu Xiaoqian: "Qian! , you should give up, I can’t bear to make money from you anymore. If you are sick, go see a doctor, these things of mine won’t work.”
Yu Xiaoqian glared at Zhang Nan: "You liar, don't even think about lying to me. Keep preparing for me."
"Hey, Qian, you can't be like this. You must seek medical treatment if you are sick."
"I want you to take care of it"
"What's going on, hello"
Zhang Nan had no choice but to stop Cheng Yu and the others before saying, "You two, don't you want to come to the Imperial Study Room to settle matters?"
Sun Fuga: "The Ministry of Punishment...
Cheng Yu waved towards Zhang Nan: "I brought him here to see His Majesty."
Zhang Nan knew Cheng Yu and knew that he was one of his own. He changed his serious attitude and pointed inside: "Go in, your Majesty will have nothing to do at this time."
What the so-called Li Mingda does is usually when he is sleeping, drinking tea, eating snacks or grilling skewers. Zhang Nan really admires that an emperor can be so free.
Cheng Yu also expressed his admiration. He knew that Duke Cao was not so relaxed back then. There were many memorials and military and political affairs every day, and it was normal for him to be busy until midnight.
It’s really impossible for people to do anything
Duke Cao is also a little different from His Majesty Mingzun Saint Emperor.
"I'm going up first."
Zhang Nan: "Go, go, just be careful not to let him look around. The imperial concubine and so on are all upstairs."
Cheng Yu nodded and greeted Sun Fujia, who was a little confused, to enter the cabinet.
The things on the first floor are all simple things, there are a lot of them, and they are relatively busy. The important things are written in vernacular, which makes them much faster to deal with. The piles of memorials are all literary works, which are similar to those on the first floor. Military and political matters don't matter, generally no one cares.
That is to say, Confucianists like Kong Yingda or Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling just took a look at it. It would be good if they admired it a little, but Li Mingda didn't look at it at all.
Therefore, all their efforts are in vain. Unless some talents with good literary talents and excellent government affairs will be appreciated and promoted, otherwise they all have to pass the new examination.
Sun Fujia, Cheng Yaojin and others were all familiar with each other. After greeting each other, they walked to the stairs on the third floor.
