The military attaches smiled very nakedly, and the sarcasm was not directed at anyone, but it echoed in the palace corridor in front of the Meridian Gate.
The current military commanders in Beijing, namely Tang Li and Chang Sen, are usually low-key and friendly. Unlike those generals who left Beijing, they were always furious and majestic.
The noble generals smiled and laughed, as if they were watching the show.
As for the civil servants, it became increasingly silent. Even those who were whispering together a moment ago have mostly fallen silent.
Zhai Shan has been feeling very sad recently.
As the new Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs after Zhan Hui, I have been working for a long time, but I often feel exhausted mentally and physically at night when no one is around.
Above the court, most of the officials were still the same people, but he felt that they were not the same people as before.
Wenyuan Pavilion is increasingly involved in the rulings of government affairs. Although it has only allocated the priorities of state affairs until now, some of its comments have always affected the final judgments of the emperor and the prince.
Zhai Shan looked back.
Among the long list of civil servants behind him, the young head of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was so dazzling and eye-catching.
The post of Langzhong of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is the fifth rank, is still vacant.
I have made several petitions to the emperor to appoint officials to fill the vacancies, but I have never received a reply.
When Zhai Shan saw the prince's smiling face and said a few words to the young director of the Selected Literature Department, he finally reacted.
Who said that the position of doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel is vacant?
The officials in the court had some intentions of keeping their own peace, but there were also some subtle barriers between the six departments.
Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, and Ru Yu, the Minister of War, were very close. Yu Xin, the Minister of Household Affairs, had a close relationship with Wang Jun, the Minister of Industry. As for the Criminal Department, probably because of the Three Law Departments, they stopped playing with the Sixth Department and spent the whole day hanging out with Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhai Shan coughed slightly: "Today's court meeting, His Majesty is attending the government at the gate. It has been more than a month since the great victory in Henan Province, but there has been no news of the rebellion in Shandong Province for a long time. Should the Ministry of War make more efforts to smooth water transportation as soon as possible to protect our north and south of the Ming Dynasty? Transportation?"
Ru Yu was lowering her head and chatting quietly with Ren Hengtai about other things. When he heard the official's question, he frowned slightly and raised his head, but first glanced at Ren Hengtai beside him.
Ren Hengtai didn't say anything, just smiled and gave him a helpless look.
"Shang Shu Zhai should ask the governor's office about this. The Ministry of War is now only responsible for coordinating money and food, and assessing the merits and demerits of the army. Furthermore, Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the Beiping Dusi, is already in Shandong. I heard that it is quite Yan Yan. His Highness the King appreciates and trusts us. The army is out at the moment. We will follow the trend and news will come back sooner or later."
Zhai Shan was speechless for a moment. He just wanted to invite someone to chat with him casually. Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu were also the people he had always hoped to win over in the court.
There was cooperation in the previous series, but they just followed the trend.
But at this time, Zhai Shan was a little perseverant: "I don't know anything about the frontline military affairs, but if the rebellion in Shandong Road continues, what will happen to the water transportation? The grain and grass supplies prepared by the Ministry of Revenue must also be sent to Jiubian as soon as possible for supply It can be used by both the army and the army."
Ru Jin hummed and looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance *** with a dull look.
Ren Hengtai was in a good mood, doing his errands as the Minister of Etiquette, wandering around, eating tea and drinking wine. If he were ten years younger, he would still go out and sing.
He hummed and said: "If water transportation is not possible, we can just use sea transportation. Could it be that the grain and grass supplies on Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road all crawled into Yingtian City? Send a greeting note to the Prince Wuning's Mansion in Zhongshan and ask the Xu family to come forward. How much? Can we send the grain and grass supplies to Jiubian?"
In the past two years, the noble families of the Ming Dynasty, headed by the Xu family, have almost brought the shipbuilding and transportation industries of the Ming Dynasty to a new level.
Every day, larger and larger ships are being built, setting sail from Jiaozhi Road, heading north, either docking at Hangzhou Prefecture, or sailing into the Yangtze River Estuary and docking at Longwan Wharf outside Yingtian City.
No one wants to give up the untold wealth of the South.
As for the high mountains in the south and the miasma pests that kill people, some of them are filled by Japanese labor.
That's right, after mining the Central Plains minerals and building bridges and roads, the Japanese now have a more noble cause of struggle, opening up new lands in the south for the Ming Dynasty.
The shipping force headed by the Xu family is enough to send the materials raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs to Jiubian.
However, when Ren Hengtai said these words, an invisible slap was already slapped on the face of Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Yu Xin snorted twice and did not look at the rush of people. He just looked at Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "It's time for the Ministry of Industry to build a big ship equipped with a steam engine."
Wang Jun also remained silent. He nodded and shook his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, turned to look at the other people, his eyes were calm and he didn't say a word.
After just watching for a few moments, Yu Xin rolled up his sleeves, turned to look into the palace, raised his head slightly, picked up his steps and accelerated, walking towards the palace.
Since Ren Hengtai took the position of Minister of Rites, he really has no more expectations in his life.
He put his hands together inappropriately and bumped Ru Yu beside him with his shoulder.
Ru Yu frowned and looked over, puzzled.
Ren Hengtai whispered: "What's wrong with him? Who is he fighting with?"
Ru Yu looked at Wang Jun, who was also chasing after him, and hummed, "I think you provoked them."
"Ha!" Ren Hengtai immediately sneered and curled his lips: "The Ministry of Rites has been busy recently, so I will write a few memorials to impeach them later."
Ru Yun blinked and looked at Ren Hengtai who was completely having fun in the court. For a moment, she didn't know what to say and could only shake her head helplessly.
At this time, Zhai Shan came over and said softly: "It's a matter in Shandong."
Ren Hengtai turned his eyes, but tilted his neck and said: "What's wrong with Shandong? Is the water transportation possible if he says it can be done? Or can it be destroyed if the rebels say it can't be done?"
Zhai Shan was pushed, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said: "This Shandong is not that Shandong."
"Shandong is Shandong, it is the Shandong Road of our Ming Dynasty, and it is the Shandong Road that is within the reach of His Majesty's imperial power!" Ren Hengtai still curled his lips and muttered a few times.
Zhai Shan was a little helpless, but suddenly felt that what this guy said was not wrong at all.
A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. When he looked up again, Ren Hengtai and Ru Rui had already walked to the front side by side.
Zhai Shan looked around and felt a sense of loneliness.
He looked to the side and behind, and saw the people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple. When they saw Zhai Shan looking over, everyone lowered their heads and just walked around.
Zhai Shan rolled his eyes and looked aside.
It was the general envoy who came to conquer.
When Lai Zheng saw the Minister of Civil Affairs staring at him dimly, he didn't react or think. He just cupped his hands and then raised his head to look at the uniform sky, as if he wanted to see what was different about today's sky.
At this point, Zhai Shan gave up all thoughts of nagging anyone, shook the hem of his robe, rolled it up together, hid his folded hands, and continued walking towards Fengtian Gate behind the Meridian Gate.
The Royal Gate in front of the Fengtian Palace listens to government affairs, which is the highest-level court meeting except for the state ceremony.
The emperor personally presided over the ceremony, with the crown prince standing by his side. All civil and military officials in Beijing were required to be present, and the imperial guards and military guards were sent to guard the palace.
By the time all the ministers had passed through the Meridian Gate and saw the Fengtian Gate, the entire palace had already been decorated.
The Shangzhi pro-military guards in armor and stomach were appointed with guards, who were placed inside and outside the Fengtian Gate and distributed up and down the steps in front of the Fengtian Hall.
There were also Jiawei soldiers lined up in various places outside Fengtian Hall, lined up with even spacing, extending from Fengtian Gate to Meridian Gate.
In addition, there are Jinyi guards who are given flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives. They are along the axis of the steps of His Majesty Fengtian, guarding the officials and the emperor.
Throughout the huge palace, flags were fluttering and fluttering in the wind, and everything was silent and solemn.
Four whip-crowing captains were standing under the Fengtian Gate in the south of Fengtian Hall, distributed on the left and right, holding whips and facing north.
The Jiaofang Division displays the east and west sides of Daye Danbi, facing the north.
The Department of Ceremonies has Tongwen and Yubo eucalyptus on the east side of Danbi.
The canopy is floating, and the dragon chair is placed on the Danbi. You can sit in front of the hall and watch the civil and military officials of the court. On the east side of the dragon chair, facing forward, is a high chair to the side, which is the seat of the crown prince.
When the last official passed by the Fengtian Gate, the four whip-swinging captains began to slightly turn their whip-holding wrists.
The imperial censor supervised the imperial meeting, correcting mistakes everywhere, and warning officials who stood in the wrong position or behaved wrongly.
The cool wind carrying dew blew over and over again, but no one said a word.
The censors began to withdraw from the official group, and the eunuchs from the twenty-four yamen went to Fengtianmen to deliver the news.
The long whip, woven with yellow silk and coated with wax oil on the tip, began to twist and create wave-like shadows under the dance of the four whip-sounding captains.
At this time, the morning mist was introduced into the palace, confusing Fengtai Luan Pavilion, and the auspicious aura enveloped Fengtian Palace. It can be said that it contains the smoke of the willows and the flags, and the dew of the palace flowers welcomes the sword and halberd.
Just at this moment.
Under the Fengtian sect, the whip-sounding captains have already used their long whips with all their strength.
Using the skills inherited from the Zhou Dynasty, the long whip was driven to make a louder sound under the Fengtian Sect.
There is a record in Zhou Li: The whip is held in hand to push forward. When the king goes in and out, eight people line the road, the duke, six people, the marquis and bo, four people, and the male and the son, two people.
There was a crack of a whip.
Pull all the inheritance from last week's time back to the current twenty-eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
When the second and third whips sounded.
The entire Yingtian City seemed to be echoing with the loud crack of the whip.
The whip sounded faintly three times, and the civil and military teams at all levels were in unison.
The sound of whips was still floating in the sky in front of Fengtian Hall, and all the civil and military officials in front of Dan were already standing quietly in silence.
The sound of footsteps came from above Lord Dan.
The accompanying Huagai was the first to reveal his figure, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing the emperor's uniform, and half a step behind was Zhu Biao, who was also wearing the prince's uniform.
Behind them are a large number of eunuchs and chamberlains from the twenty-four yamen, as well as Han generals wearing golden armor.
Sun Gou'er, the chief eunuch of the 24th Yamen and the steward of the inner palace, held the saint's arm in his hands and escorted him to the dragon throne. Then he slowly stood at the edge of the highest step of the majesty's steps.
A loud and powerful voice came out in front of Fengtian Hall and reached the ears of all civil and military officials.
After the whole set of etiquette was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang, who could have a clear view of the ministers while sitting on the dragon chair, waved his hand casually.
Sun Gou'er shouted again that all ministers had their own foundations and could do anything.
It can be said that Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, was the first to pass through the Meridian Gate and Fengtian Gate today. He immediately popped out his legs and shook his head from side to side, and he got out of the train.
He waved his arms, and there was actually a memorial in the hands that were originally holding the wat tablet.
Yu Xin bowed and knelt at the foot of the steps.
"Your Majesty, I am a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Yu Xin has a script to report."
On the steps, Sun Gou'er was a little surprised that the Minister of Hubu actually took the top spot today.
In the past, the Minister of Civil Affairs should be the first to say this. This is not a rule, but a rule.
Zhai Shan was also a little surprised, but he accepted it happily.
I didn't have anything to say today. Along with the young director of the Selected Literature Department, who always addressed Xie Jin as sir, he had already finished all the work for the official department.
Sun Gouer issued a correct word on behalf of the emperor.
Yu Xin held the wat board and the memorial in his hand and said loudly: "I impeached the commander of the Peking Dusi, Qianshi, and the guard of the Yan Palace. I was ordered to quell the rebellion on Shandong Road. Zhang Zhiyuan led the army south, but he did all kinds of illegal things.
It's called suppressing rebellion, but in fact it's a traitor. He led the army across the countryside, disturbing the people and causing people to be frightened.
Zhang Zhiyuan ignored the dissuasion of the various bureaus in Shandong Province and refused to station troops. His intentions were unclear and he was suspected of being disobedient and resisting the imperial edict. It wastes the court's money and food in vain, delays the border war, and is suspected of supporting soldiers and self-respecting thieves.
Zhang Zhiyuan ignored the rise of rebels in Shandong Road and allowed the rebels to cause chaos for months and could not be pacified. However, he spread messages and led his troops south to Qufu, disturbing the palace of Duke Yan. More than ten thousand troops were stationed outside Confucius' mansion, digging deep trenches and consuming gunpowder every day, day and night.
At this moment, everyone in the Yanshenggong Mansion had blood in their eyes and miserable faces. The walls of the Confucius Mansion were about to collapse, and the statues of the saints were shaking and swaying.
Our dynasty establishes the country with filial piety, conducts benevolent and righteous deeds, and respects the words of the Holy Saint. Today there are arrogant soldiers who go about their own business, bringing disaster to the place, waiting for rebellion and invading the homes of the most holy ones.
It is called to suppress the rebel army, but in fact it is to rebel against the traitors.
I would like to ask Your Majesty, are we the officers and soldiers of the court or the traitors who are responsible for all these things?
If we don't tell the world apart now, who will be able to tell who are the rebels and who are the officers and soldiers in the future? "
Yu Xin's remarks directly broke the sky.
There was silence in front of the entire Fengtian Hall.
And after Yu Xin.
It was Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who came out of the procession holding a wat tablet and a memorial in his hands, and knelt down beside Yu Xin.
"Your Majesty, Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, seconded the proposal."
"Zhang Zhiyuan arrogantly indulged the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and harassed the Shandong area. He ignored the rebellion and did not think about suppressing the rebellion. He coerced the army and used it for his personal affairs. He armed himself with weapons to vent his anger. I thought this was disloyalty! This person has different intentions! The imperial court issued an order to answer the question. A judge will interrogate and convict!"
This is the second time that six ministers have sent out a mission to impeach Zhang Zhiyuan, who was fighting a rebellion in Shandong Province.
"My lord, Cao Ming, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seconded the proposal."
"My lord, Wu Bin, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seconded the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment is here to pay my respects and second my opinion."
"My lord, the Right Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Xia Shu, second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the right minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Qi Zhu, seconded the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Yi, seconded the proposal."
"My lord, the Ministry of Rites has given the matter to me, and Wei Fan has seconded the proposal."
"My lord... second my opinion."
"Seconded."
"..."
As Yu Xin and Wang Jun, the two ministers of the Six Ministries, came out to impeach, for a while, officials from the Six Ministries, Five Temples, Three Law Departments, and yamen of all the ministries and departments of the Manchu Dynasty came out. According to their rank, they knelt in front of the many steps. Report yourself to the official position and verbally second the proposal.
The sound of approval lasted for a long time, almost as long as the incense stick.
When the last official from the ninth rank knelt down and was about to reach the Fengtianmen position, the tide of support from the class finally stopped.
The sun on the horizon has now climbed to the mid-air position, casting a bright light.
In the square in front of the steps of Fengtian Hall, where officials should have stood on both sides, the civilian side was almost half empty.
A gust of wind blew by, and it was no longer as cold as when he first entered the palace and went to court.
However, Bai Yuxiu, the director of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was surrounded by no one around him, still trembled and shuddered for no reason.
Is this a counterattack by Yingtianchaotang officials?
Is it a response to the officialdom of the former Jinyiwei Suo Yingtian, or is it a silent opposition to the reforms being implemented in various ways?
Or, which family in Shandong Road are they trying to protect?
In the front row of the civil service train, Zhai Shan turned his neck stiffly. There were only two people beside him, Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu.
"When did it happen?"
Zhai Shan was really angry. So many officials came out to impeach at the same time, but as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he had no idea at all.
Now in the eyes of the emperor, what does he, the Minister of Personnel, do for a living? Can he still do the job of the Ministry of Personnel well and manage the officials in the court for the emperor?
Neither Ren Hengtai nor Ru Yu spoke.
Standing behind the ministers, Da Jiuqing, General Affairs Envoy Si Tongzheng Envoy Laizheng quietly stepped forward, lowered his head and whispered: "The news was sent from Qufu. Some people also looked for it a few days ago. Officer, I just thought..."
"Why didn't you tell me!"
Zhai Shan turned his head fiercely and glared at the envoy who had obviously known about it in advance.
Laizheng collected his expression and looked up the stairs: "Zhai Shangshu thinks he knows that he can suppress this incident?"
Zhai Shan's eyes flashed, his body trembled, and panic suddenly arose in his heart.
These people are going to your Majesty.
Regardless of whether Zhai Shan is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel or not, whether he can control these officials, these people will cause this impeachment today.
crazy!
These people are crazy!
How dare they do what they are doing now? Do they really think that this can force His Majesty to punish Zhang Zhiyuan?
Do they really think that His Majesty is the one who will give in?
Zhai Shan immediately turned his head and looked at Ru Ru, Minister of the Ministry of War: "The Ministry of War, Zhang Zhiyuan led the troops south to Shandong Road. What does the Ministry of War think of what he did?"
Ru Yu curled her lips and glanced sideways at Zhai Shan, who was already furious: "Zhai Shangshu thinks that my Ministry of War can handle this matter?"
Zhai Shan opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
He immediately raised his eyes and looked at the military attaches in the court on the other side.
Zhang Zhiyuan is just an introduction. No one knows whether the crazy people will expand and extend the impeachment storm in the next moment, involving the meritorious military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhai Shanduo hoped that the group of meritorious generals who had behaved rudely in the past could wave their fists as big as sandbags and give the group of civil servants kneeling in front of them a sound beating.
It's best to beat these people until they can't get out of bed for half a month.
