Even though the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are both of the third rank, they are by no means just a difference between one left and one right.
Nowadays, Guangxi and Yunnan are the front lines of the attack on Jiaozhi.
The left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the governor of Guangxi, and the counselor of military affairs will make great achievements if he does his job well.
And something will happen in Guangxi next year: Guangxi local official Huang Yan killed his younger brother and his whole family. In order to be exempted from guilt, he wrote to Yi Chu.
Then Jingtai in history said his famous saying: Thousands of miles away, there is this loyal minister.
In the end, Huang Yan was not only acquitted, but also promoted several levels.
Li Tang, the governor of Guangxi at that time, was defeated and immediately returned to his hometown as an official.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head. In his own hands, such childish political methods would never appear, and then continued:
"Chen Jun, the head of the household department, was promoted to a doctor in the Guangxi Qing Li Division of the household department.
Zeng Hui, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, was promoted to the right to participate in politics in Guangxi.
Mou Feng was awarded the title of Supervisor and Censor to patrol Yunnan.
Xia Xun was awarded the title of Supervisory Censor and patrolled Guangxi.
Gao Ming was awarded the title of Supervisory Censor and patrolled Guangdong.
That's it, promote these six people today.
Tomorrow we will continue writing the will. "
After Su Xi finished writing the edict, she couldn't help but praise: "My husband is really interesting. Now the ministers play ministers, the queen mother plays the queen mother, the emperor plays the emperor, and the husband plays the husband."
Everyone is doing their own thing, and no one is facing each other head on. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "That's how masters compete with each other. In the early stage, there are countless preparations and countless tests. When you really get to grips with it, within one or two moves, the winner will be decided, and life and death will be decided.
Take your time, Emperor Gongrang is still very sober and shrewd.
I have to confuse him step by step. Finally, when he completely loses his correct judgment of the situation, the moment of victory will come. "
Su Xi smiled and said: "My husband has really plotted everyone. Do you have any other wishes?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head, and Qianxue and Su Xi went out to work around.
In the early afternoon, these memorials went around in a big circle and returned to the cabinet.
Then under Zhu Qizhen's explicit instructions, the cabinet approved Zou Qian's proposal and summoned the vassal king to Beijing for a meeting to review the case of poisoning the prince.
The reason why the cabinet approved so quickly was that the emperor had previously agreed to summon the vassal princes to Beijing to congratulate and meet with the emperor. After all, Emperor Gongrang's return from Oara intact required confirmation from the vassal princes and clan members. In order to prevent problems in the future, everyone will blame the emperor.
The most tiring person here is Wang Wen. As the emperor's most trusted cabinet minister, he has no way to meet the emperor, but he also has to figure out the emperor's thoughts and lead the emperor's other trusted cabinet ministers to act.
It really tested the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers.
Fortunately, until now, Wang Wen has not made any omissions, which is extremely rare.
At the end of the day, Wang Wen had three more subordinates.
Li Tang just held the official title of Zuo Fudu Censor and went to Guangxi to be the governor, and Wang Wen had no control over him.
Mou Feng, Xia Xun, and Gao Ming were the three new scholars and were appointed as supervisory censors to patrol Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong respectively.
Wang Wen has long understood that among this year's Jinshi class, the earlier they are appointed, the more important they are to the emperor.
In recent political battles, the emperor has given in step by step and shown weakness at every turn. But when it comes to hiring people, the emperor is still very tough.
The more than forty new scholars who had submitted letters to challenge the emperor were all sitting on the bench. Moreover, the emperor made no secret of the fact that the appointment of these people was due to the Ministry of Rites' supervision of politics.
For each term of Jinshi, a group of people are sent to the six ministries to observe government affairs.
But it was the first time that more than forty new scholars were directly sent to the Ministry of Rites to observe government affairs.
However, the emperor has long been used to being ridiculous, and no one will argue with the emperor over these new scholars.
The remaining Jinshi have a bright future. Some are assigned to the Hanlin Academy, where they work part-time as ministers in the cabinet while completing their qualifications; some are assigned to take charge of various ministries; some are assigned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Imperial Academy, etc. Some of them were assigned to be public officials, and some were assigned to Dali Temple, General Affairs Department and other real power yamen for experience.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
But it was said that Queen Mother Sun soon learned the news that Emperor Gong had made the decision to summon the feudal prince to Beijing.
Although the eunuchs of Jin Ying's faction have been completely eliminated from the inner court, Gao Ping, the general manager of Yinghua Palace, was given the position of eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, so that the Queen Mother Sun could still learn about the court's developments in time from the eunuch of the ceremonial department.
However, as Jin Ying lost power, Empress Dowager Sun had to rely more and more on Gao Ping.
When Gao Ping finished reporting the latest developments in the court situation, Queen Mother Sun asked quietly: "Gao Ping, what do you think should be done next?"
Gao Ping replied: "Your Majesty summoned the vassal king to the capital to clear away the suspicion of the Sun family. The Queen Mother does not need to worry."
Empress Dowager Sun shook her head: "Isn't this killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred? Originally, the emperor did not deliberately blame the case of poisoning the prince on the Sun family.
Although the emperor's starting point for doing this is to keep a handle in his hand, which can be used to restrict this palace.
But in this case, the situation is not unacceptable. Just keep quiet and wait until the limelight passes, then things will be fine.
But Qi Zhen insisted on making a noise and making the matter bigger, for fear that others would not know that the Sun family was involved.
Now it's good, everyone knows, the world is looking at me, and everyone knows that I and my family are suspected of poisoning the prince and framing the emperor.
You read the details for me. What do Qi Zhen think? "
"this……"
Gao Ping hesitated and hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.
Seeing Gao Ping hesitate to speak, Empress Dowager Sun knew that she knew the inside story and quickly promised: "Gao Ping, don't worry, the only one I can rely on now is you.
If you can help me get through this difficult time, I will definitely be richly rewarded. "
Hearing this, Gao Ping had to bravely reply: "My slave is dead, I have heard some rumors about the Queen Mother in the past few days."
"Oh? What rumor?"
Queen Mother Sun immediately became interested.
"The Queen Mother forgives this slave for the death penalty, so I dare to speak out."
"I know, stop being so long-winded and tell me quickly."
Gao Ping then replied: "I would like to report to you, your Majesty, there have been rumors in the palace recently that your majesty is not your mother's biological child, but that someone in the palace gave birth to a prince, and the queen mother secretly took him there and raised him under her name.
His Majesty was already suspicious and sent Xing'an, Chen Xiang, and Cao Jixiang to investigate secretly in the palace. "
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun frowned tightly: "It's such a trick to sow discord, but my son fell for it so easily? Is he stupid to send someone to investigate?
Once the emperor 'arranges' the evidence to 'verify' that he is not his biological son, then where is the legitimacy of his throne?
When the truth is revealed to the world, not only will he, the 'legitimate emperor', become a joke, but even the well-informed crown prince will no longer have to be so. "
The more Empress Dowager Sun talked, the angrier she became, almost calling Zhu Qizhen a fool.
Gao Ping lowered his head and did not dare to answer. Empress Dowager Sun scolded the Emperor Gong Rang, saying that she would have problems with whatever she said, so shutting up was the safest choice.
After the Queen Mother Sun scolded her enough, she looked at Gao Ping, who had been hanging his head in silence. She felt very satisfied, so she sighed and ordered Gao Ping:
"Gao Ping, go and order Marquis Huichang to enter the palace, as well as my brothers. It's time now, so you don't need to care about what outsiders think, just let them all come."
Gao Ping quickly took the order and left.
An hour later, Sun Zhong brought Sun Jizong and Sun Xianzong to Yinghua Palace.
After the family ceremony, everyone sat down. Empress Dowager Sun ordered Gao Ping to tell the story exactly, and then asked her father and brother for their opinions.
Sun Zhong is the head of the Sun family, so naturally it was Sun Zhong who spoke first.
After sighing first, Sun Zhong advised: "Queen Mother, once Tumubao was defeated and Emperor Gongrang was captured, when the emperor ascended the throne, the Sun family was destined to be doomed.
In my opinion, let it be like this. The emperor has already spoken out. If we go forward, our Sun family will be exterminated.
The Japanese minister has met the emperor before. As long as our Sun family gives up their titles and returns to their hometown to farm, the Queen Mother and Gong let the emperor take the whole family to live in Fengyang Palace.
The matter was settled as it was, and the emperor promised not to delve into it further.
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better than our whole family dying. "
When Queen Mother Sun heard this, she was greatly uneasy. She really didn't expect that her father would say such things.
