This was the famous Geneva Declaration of Medicine in later generations. Zhu Yunwen made slight changes and brought this text to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to ignite the lights of medical schools.
Yang Shiqi, Li Zhigang and others looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, savoring this declaration and thinking about it carefully, isn't this a suitable preface to the three classics of "Medicine"?
When Zhu Yunwen and the Imperial College were discussing Dai Yuanli, medical school, and the future of the Imperial College, more than thirty officials had gathered outside the Wenhua Gate of the palace, headed by Zhuo Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Zhuo Jing ordered his people to line up, tidy up their clothes, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Everyone said in unison: "Ready."
Zhuo Jing nodded solemnly, then lifted up the hem of his clothes, kicked on the ground, rubbed, and jumped out. He waved his fist, hit the closed Wenhua door, and shouted loudly: "I respectfully invite the emperor to come to court."
Other officials followed, knocked on the door, and shouted: "I respectfully invite the Emperor to come to court."
Seeing this, the guards guarding the city couldn't control them even though they shouted a few times. These people were government officials. They included not only important officials of the court, but also officials who knew how to curse. They couldn't afford to offend them.
As long as they don't break the door and cry, then let them.
The guards simply stood there and watched the show. Standing guard was boring anyway. There were people acting and they didn't charge tickets. What a good thing.
In many people's minds, court officials should seek orders for the people, be kind, serious, and righteous. However, if you look at history, especially the history of the Ming Dynasty, you will find that these officials are not what they imagined.
Among them, there are those who step on people in order to climb up, some who hold people on their backs when they are about to die, some who are alive and well, but want to do better and turn around to recognize people as their fathers, and some who fabricate rumors to achieve ulterior motives. , criticizing impeachment...
In fact, no matter which dynasty, there are very few honest officials. Of course, there are also very few people who are corrupt and evil. Most of them are this kind of people:
Whatever the superiors tell us to do, we will do it;
It doesn't say what it does, so let's just guess what it does;
It clearly says not to do anything, so let’s find another way and continue doing it...
Zhuo Jing slapped the door and shouted loudly, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart, because coming here to cry and scream was no different from a shrew. How could he, a man of seven feet, lie on the door and cry?
But there is no way...
The old boss Huang Zicheng has entered the cabinet. He is now a powerful minister. He is nothing but a minor minister. If you don't listen to Huang Zicheng, believe it or not, he is usually so stingy that he can make money with just a penny, and he will definitely wear small shoes for himself.
After weighing it, he found that being a shrew was better than wearing small shoes, so Zhuo Jing came anyway...
Huang Zicheng is now sitting in the cabinet, sipping tea and feeling very comfortable. He glanced at the documents on the desk and said to Xie Jin: "The Ministry of War thinks that Geng Bingwen is incompetent, especially Liu Sui, who should have been killed but was not killed. This affects Military spirit, why did Xie Ge pretend to be a coward and come up with a persuasive argument for peace?"
Jie Jin picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and asked: "If we don't persuade peace, is it possible that we still agree with the Ministry of War to kill Liu Sui?"
Huang Zicheng said seriously: "This is natural! Then Liu Sui refused to fight and lost his position in the face of the Qingzhou White Lotus cultists. Shouldn't he be killed?"
Jie Jin chuckled, wrote an annotation in a document, then folded it and put it aside. Fang said, "Logically speaking, he should be killed, but when it comes to the cabinet, we can only let him live."
"You are abusing your power. I don't agree with it. Liu Sui must be executed immediately!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Huang Zicheng insisted.
Jie Jin raised his brows slightly, rolled his eyes, and said calmly: "Huang Ge is also a cabinet minister and has the right to review. But I would like to advise you that if you kill Liu Sui, you may be in trouble..."
Huang Zicheng sneered, just kill a mere local general, what trouble can there be? Liu Sui had no background, he was just Geng Bingwen's follower, and Geng Bingwen would not offend the cabinet ministers because of Liu Sui.
Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng left the comment "Dang Zhan" at the place where he left the comment without thinking.
Yu Xin walked in and said angrily to Huang Zicheng: "Dozens of officials clamored outside Wenhua Gate. How unbecoming! This matter is over!"
Huang Zicheng pushed it aside simply: "Yuge, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just hope that a few people will write a letter asking the emperor to take charge of the government, but I didn't expect them to gather outside the Wenhua Gate. , in the final analysis, they are asking for orders on behalf of hundreds of officials."
Seeing Huang Zicheng's attitude, Yu Xin couldn't help but feel a little headache. He seemed to be becoming more and more unrestrained.
Jie Jin laughed dryly and saw the rift between Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng.
In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Huang Zicheng. This man was originally from the East Palace. After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he became powerful and directly became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Within two years, he entered the cabinet again and relied on his familiarity with the emperor. In addition, I feel good about myself, start to swell, feel complacent, and always feel that I have my own merit in everything.
Such people look down upon others, and their special line should be: Everyone here is rubbish.
It seems that he will solve it himself without taking action himself...
After all, what he sees as inconspicuous garbage also has energy that cannot be ignored.
Yu Xin picked up the memorial that Xie Jin and Yu Xin had approved, frowned and looked at Huang Zicheng, and asked, "Why do you want to kill Liu Sui?"
Huang Zicheng squinted his eyes and finally felt something was wrong.
Both Jie Jin and Yu Xin believed that Liu Sui should not be killed, but they thought he should be killed. This showed that there were still some problems that they did not see or see through.
Seeing that Yu Xin wanted to do something bad, Xie Jin interjected: "Huang Pavilion also aims to rectify military law and rectify the military's morale..."
Yu Xin rolled his eyes at Jie Jin, and then looked at Huang Zicheng fiercely. Is this guy an idiot? The Ministry of War wrote a letter asking to kill Liu Sui. It was just a show. Why do you take it seriously?
Not to mention this, Xie Jin is sure of your approach. Didn't you see him holding up the stone? Are you still nodding?
"Liu Sui deserves to die, but he can't die now!"
After Yu Xin weighed it up, he found that Huang Zicheng was indispensable, so he explained: "First, Geng Bingwen should have the final say at the time whether Liu Sui died or not. He didn't kill Liu Sui. That was not Liu Sui's fault, it was Geng Bingwen's fault! The other one was Geng Bingwen's fault. Second, if Liu Sui had been killed at that time, military discipline would have been awe-inspiring, but what does it mean to kill Liu Sui now? Do you want the court to kill a meritorious official?"
Only then did Huang Zicheng realize with horror that he had made a big mistake. Liu Sui deserved to die, but at that time he had already been sentenced to death, and the merit was dismissed, which took effect immediately. It was equivalent to the case of Liu Sui's death being closed, and the punishment was also carried out. As a result, it was time for people to pay the fine and apologize. This matter has nothing to do with Liu Sui anymore...
Whether it is the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army or the Ministry of War, there are many people who want Liu Sui to die, but they all know that Liu Sui can't die even though he should die... so he used a memorial to give it to the cabinet to make a decision. If the cabinet thinks he should be killed, In the end, he was really killed
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, then this responsibility belongs to the cabinet.
After all, the Qingzhou war will definitely end, and victory will definitely belong to the Ming army, so Liu Sui is naturally a hero.
If when Geng Bingwen held a celebration meeting, the documents issued by the cabinet were sent over, and Liu Sui, who had been drinking just now, was slapped, then he would have to bear the blame for "unjustly killing the hero".
Huang Zicheng broke out in a cold sweat, damn Jie Jin, damn Tie Xuan, damn Xu Huizu, why are you so messy, do you have to dig a bottomless pit for a simple thing?
"In that case, I will follow your opinion."
Huang Zicheng thought about the important relationship, walked to Yu Xin's desk, took the document, crossed it twice, and wrote two more words:
Seconded.
Yu Xin sighed, picked up his pen and scribbled fiercely before completely covering up "Dangzhan". These two words cannot be spread out. Once spread to the court, they will definitely flow into the ears of Geng Bingwen, Liu Sui and others. Even if The court did not deal with Liu Sui, and Huang Zicheng also formed a relationship with them...
Xie Jin was a little regretful. What a great opportunity he had to kill Liu Sui and dismount Huang Zicheng. It was Yu Xin, an old fox!
Household Department.
Xia Yuanji is checking the accounts. The summer tax money and purchased grain from various places are being transported to the capital in a steady stream. Although there are personnel from the Ministry of Accounts who personally determine and check clearly, Xia Yuanji still has to take charge of the overall situation and remember the current summer taxes in various places in detail. Payment status in case of emergencies.
Suddenly, Xiong Wucheng from the Security Bureau walked into the lobby of the Household Department and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please stop what you are doing for the time being. Please delay for a while..."
Xia Yuanji frowned slightly, looked up at Xiong Wucheng, and said, "This is the Ministry of Household Affairs. Xiong Tong knows how to respect himself."
Xiong Wucheng laughed, not minding Xia Yuanji's threat, and said: "Xia Shangshu, forgive me, Xiong is also acting according to the order."
"By order?"
After Xia Yuanji heard this, he stopped talking.
Since people are doing things according to orders, it is in line with the rules. But, what did he want to do with just these two people?
Xiong Wucheng looked at it and asked Xia Yuanji: "Xia Shangshu, how many people should be on duty in the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue today?"
Xia Yuanji replied simply: "If we only count the household lobby, there are eight people."
Xiong Wucheng counted in a circle and said: "Why are there only four people? Could you please explain to the minister who is neglecting government affairs and not doing the right thing?"
Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and realized that Xiong Wucheng was not here to cause trouble, but to inspect the post...
Of course, the people being investigated are not just the Household Investigation Department, but also the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Works, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc...
Xiong Wucheng was very professional. He asked for their names and asked if any of these people were sick or dead. When Xia Yuanji slapped the table with a black face, Xiong Wucheng ran away in a hurry.
The Wenhua Gate opened, and Zhuo Jing and other officials were overjoyed.
The chamberlain Shuangxi cleared his throat and shouted: "Accept the order."
Zhuo Jing and other officials quickly knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Shuangxi glanced at Zhuo Jing and the others with disdain, and said, "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and Zhi said: If you do not do anything when you are on duty, you will leave the office privately and be fined for three months. I admire this."
"ah?"
Zhuo Jing and other officials could not imagine that they were just here to call the emperor to court, and how could they end up "not doing anything on duty and leaving the government office secretly". However, it seems that this accusation cannot be refuted. Who is allowed to touch the Wenhua Gate door when working...
