"Zhang Zuo, please send this memorandum to the cabinet, and also pass on my oral instructions: Write an edict to send officials to welcome Princess Xingxian and her family to the capital. Cui Yuan will be the main one, and arrange the guards. You, the minister, will arrange two people. Tell the cabinet ministers Hey, the concubine is currently living in Weiyang Palace, and I want to renovate the Qingning Palace first to welcome the concubine and mother-in-law to stay temporarily."
Putting the approved memorials together, Zhu Houcong stood up and went outside the Qianqing Palace.
By now, those emotions had been forgotten.
If he continues like this, as long as the courtiers are willing, Zhu Houcong will be stunned by various memorials every day.
Those who criticize each other with exaggerated words, and those who criticize others with harsh words.
If Zhu Houcong wants to live longer, he must learn how to accurately classify these snowflake-like things as soon as possible.
Just those four words: Prioritize.
He said loudly: "That's it. The memorials and documents are sent back to the Liuke Gallery, and all the account books in each treasury are returned. Huang Jin, collect all their things and store them in the Nuan Pavilion."
After returning to Xinuan Pavilion, he continued to read the memorial.
This letter is equally important. It is a memorial jointly signed by Wang Qiong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and other officials, asking the emperor to hold a sutra banquet.
[Heaven has blessed the emperor, and he has lived a sacred life. He has succeeded to the throne, and all the people in the world will continue to live in peace. The book says: The end of the war is only the beginning. I hope that your majesty will work hard to lead the way from the old chapter, take the ancestral precepts, read them day and night, and abide by the law. Is it okay to decide the memorial in person during my spare time, or summon the ministers for an interview? The ritual of giving lectures on the sutras at the banquet...]
Zhu Houcong clicked his tongue after reading it.
This letter was not caused by my own accounting, there would have been such a memorandum.
In the morning, afternoon and evening, we held banquets and lectures, made personal decisions and memorials, and summoned ministers...
So a good emperor must be both a good student and a 997 workaholic?
But the next memorial should be about checking accounts, and it is another memorial about civil officials fighting each other.
During the incident, the Ministry of War impeached the Minister of War and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture for flattering the powerful and traitors.
It's exciting.
A sixth-rank official of the sixth rank impeached the head of the first department of the second-rank official and the deputy censor of the third-rank official. There was no evidence. He just flattered the powerful traitor without saying which powerful traitor he was.
Is this the official who heard the news? So exciting.
It is equivalent to a county-level cadre reporting directly to the ministerial level or even the deputy state in real name, without any solid evidence.
So far, among the memorials piled up by Zhu Houcong, six ministers and nine ministers, including four cabinet ministers, have been impeached multiple times.
If you only look at these memorials, and then think about the wealth that Wei Bin and others have vomited, it vividly explains what it means to have no good people.
This is why the future cannot be so optimistic: money!
Just like Jiajing once roared "my money", who can give up his own interests easily?
If Wei Bin and the others didn't know very well that Yang Ting and the others were sharpening their knives, how could they have been so decisive in spending money to eliminate disasters and save their lives?
Zhu Houcong was thinking about the possible scenes of tomorrow's court meeting. After looking at these memorials, he thought about it and decided: add more atmosphere!
…
While Zhu Houcong was "studying" the memorials of the courtiers with great interest, Zhang Zuo also came to Wenyuan Pavilion again.
"Princess Xingxian?" Yang Ting confirmed after they stood up.
Zhang Zuo understood their doubts, but knew that this was just their luck.
So Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty is truly a sage who knows etiquette. Elders, if you are not a princess, what should you call me now?"
Mao Ji hurriedly asked: "Eunuch Zhang, why does Your Majesty want to overhaul the palace when he first ascended to Dabao? This is..."
Zhang Zuo immediately bent down and saluted: "Mr. Mao Ge, we are just here to deliver a message, and we hope to forgive you."
After that, he said goodbye and left.
"This..." Mao Ji felt that it never stopped for a day, and something new happened today.
Yang Tinghe sighed: "All the memorials submitted have been retained. Except for the one from Wang Chao, only this one has been approved now!"
"Which one is it?" Mao Ji asked nervously.
Yang Tinghe handed it to them: "Report the merits of the Chenhao Rebellion and bring Wang Shouren to Beijing."
Several people frowned slightly: The Chenhao Rebellion can be said to be a crux of many affairs today.
The clan of the vassal king represented by King Ning restored the guard force with the help of the ministers and ministers.
At that time, Yang Tinghe also believed that Zhu Chenhao could not rebel, and even restored Prince Ning's farming rights without consulting other cabinet ministers, which gave him the capital to rebel.
Zhu Chenhao had been stealing money for many years, and took advantage of the childless status of the Daxing Emperor to have secret dealings with many officials in the court.
Once the army was raised, the so-called 300,000-strong army was put down by Wang Shouren in just over a month. But at this time, the then Emperor Zhengde had already led an army of 100,000 people to march southward.
Subsequently, the farce of seizing power and the Southern Expedition turned into a Southern Tour finally turned into the emperor falling into trouble. After returning to Beijing, he became seriously ill until now.
How to evaluate the contribution of Wang Shouren and the real officers and soldiers in suppressing the rebellion? How to define the merits and demerits of the officers and soldiers who followed the emperor to "go south to quell the rebellion"? Where does the reward money come from? How to prevent the feudal king from causing rebellion again in the future?
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
"It's time for Wang Shouren to go to the capital." Liang Chu leisurely sat down on a chair on the side of the hall and started drinking tea, "But he was promoted by Wang Dehua, and it was he who invited Wang Shouren to supervise military affairs at a low cost five years ago. How to describe Wang Dehua's achievements?"
Hearing him mention Wang Qiong, Yang Tinghe looked at him deeply, sat on the chair opposite and said calmly: "It is true that Wang Dehua has a close relationship with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin."
"Wang Qiong's matter must be judged by itself." Mao Ji called him by his first name and stood there with his hands spread out in dissatisfaction. "The problem now is that all the other memorials have been accepted. The accounts have been checked for four days, and only the ministers are checking! Your Majesty orders at this time We have arranged to welcome the princess and renovate Qingning Palace, what is the purpose of this?"
Yang Tinghe sat on the chair opposite Liang Chu and smiled bitterly: "Didn't you hear what Eunuch Zhang said? The concubine now lives in Weiyang Palace..."
Jiang Mian also sighed silently: Stupid!
Empress Dowager Zhang was so petty, and His Majesty immediately used it as a bargaining chip with the courtiers.
Either the courtiers would offend Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia, and drive Empress Xia to live elsewhere on the grounds that Empress Xia's residence in Qingning Palace and Concubine Shao's residence in Weiyang Palace were inconsistent with the old system, so that Qingning Palace could be freed up for Concubine Shao and Princess Xingxian to live. .
Alternatively, the courtiers would have to allocate a lot of the family property copied from Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others who had finally defeated Qian Ning and Jiang Bin to build a new palace at this time when the treasury was in dire straits.
At the same time, this matter also involved the matter of welcoming Princess Xingxian's family to Beijing. After arriving, do you still call Princess Xingxian?
Is this another attempt to force the civil servants to take a clear stand on the issue of succession by taking advantage of their eagerness to use the money?
Liang Chu suddenly said: "Yuan Zhongde has never been summoned, and he doesn't even know about these memorials."
Jiang Mian and Mao Ji looked at him together and quickly reacted: This means that Yuan Zonggao has not given advice to the emperor in the past few days.
Or, it was Wei Bin and others who served as advisers to the emperor. Or, it was the emperor's own strategy.
Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said: "According to His Majesty's decree, let's do things first. Your Majesty will visit the court tomorrow, and everything should have a regulation. Whether or not Qingning Palace should be repaired, and how to repair it, we must first listen to His Majesty's ideas."
…
Cui Yuan has been very busy these two days.
I had only rested for two days after returning from Anlu. On the third day, I had to perform sacrifices for the construction of Emperor Daxing's Xuan Palace. He was not the only one who acted together. The Prince Consort and other honorable ministers and relatives had this kind of life every day.
But after completing this job, he received an order to go to Anlu to welcome Princess Xingxian and her family.
"I don't know whether His Majesty trusts you or doesn't understand you." Princess Yongkang reluctantly said goodbye.
The two of them got married in the sixth year of Hongzhi's life. They have been married for twenty-eight years and their relationship is very good.
There are only two sons and two daughters. The eldest son married the daughter of Liu Long, a prostitute who lived in the 12th year of Hongzhi. Unfortunately, the eldest son died young. The eldest daughter married An Changbo of Queen Qian's family of Yingzong and died too.
Cui Yuan has experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away.
Now the second son Yin is in charge of Jin Yiwei and the second daughter is married to Uncle Ping Jiang.
Cui Yuan comforted Princess Yongkang, shook his head gently and said, "It is a good time to leave the capital at this time."
After saying that, he told: "You will tell Xinrui later and ask her to return to her parents' home and return to the province tomorrow. Tell Qing Shun that if your Majesty holds a sutra banquet, let him avoid it if he can. If your majesty does not take the initiative to hold a sutra banquet, He must never try to persuade him!"
Liu Xinrui is Liu Long's daughter. After marrying into the Cui family, although her husband died, she has always served Cui Yuan and his wife.
Princess Yongkang was puzzled: "What an honor it is to serve as a lecturer at the Sutra Banquet. Why should we avoid it?"
