Chapter 118: Summoning the ministers
Chapter 118
Jiajing is also hesitating now.
At this moment, the memorials sent by the Sili Supervisor have piled up into a mountain.
The box they gave me a memorial was lifted by two little eunuchs with two red sticks. The outside of the box was also painted with red paint and gold-painted patterns, which was very exquisite.
At this moment, more than a dozen boxes were almost lined up outside the gate.
When Jiajing saw this, he said to Huang Jin: "I won't read it. You will classify these memorials for me, firstly, divide them into useful and useless ones. As for those who wish you goodbye, put them aside. The remaining memorials are based on those who protect Xia Yan, oppose Xia Yan, and the important matters that the court must decide, and the three categories are separated."
Huang Jin immediately said, "I obey the order."
Huang Jin turned his head and said to the dozens of eunuchs behind him, "Don't be stunned, follow the emperor's instructions."
A group of eunuchs immediately began to open the memorial and left the notes of greetings in the box as required by the emperor. As for the rest of the notes, they were placed on the Sandaochang case.
Jiajing fell into deep thought as the eunuchs came and went.
Many thoughts emerged in Jiajing's heart.
The first idea is to press this matter down.
Yes, although the combination of Xia Yan and Yan Song did not satisfy Jiajing, at least the facts proved that this combination was relatively capable. Xia Yan was arrogant, but could do things. Yan Song was respectful, especially for what he asked in the palace, and never refused.
One handles major affairs in the world, the other checks and balances him, and does private affairs for the emperor. Moreover, there are old grudges between the two, so it is almost impossible to unite.
This situation is actually very beneficial to Jiajing.
Even in the future, Jiajing wants to copy this pattern.
The second idea is whether to take this opportunity to test Xia Yan?
After all, Tao Zhongwen's statement, and even the various messy things in the 26th year of Jiajing, made Jiajing think in the late night, when it was quiet, was it really a disaster?
Don’t Jiajing is superstitious. Even an ordinary modern person, facing so many things, still wonders if he is a Tai Sui? Should he go to a temple to burn incense sticks? He believes in Zhou Mengchen’s scientific explanation, but it does not hinder him. Some superstitious ideas in his heart.
This is very Chinese.
Therefore, his perception of Xia Yan actually had a subtle change.
Before, Jiajing did not care about Xia Yan? He had never doubted Xia Yan's loyalty. After all, to be honest, Xia Yan and Yan Song were both deeply favored. Jiajing's favor for Xia Yan may not be under Zhou Mengchen today.
There was actually a time of intimacy between the king and the minister.
But now, Jiajing has the intention to test Xia Yan. This is an essential change. But Jiajing himself did not notice it at all. At this time, Lu Bing hurried from outside and handed a memorial to Jiajing with both hands.
Jiajing took it and looked at it. After seeing it, he "splied" a "splied" combination and said, "You're sure."
Lu Bing said: "I never dared to neglect the matter for Your Majesty."
Jiajing looked a little ugly and said to himself: "Okay, very good."
What did Lu Bing investigate?
It was to investigate whether there was any conscript behind the scenes when the King of Lu was splattered with blood from the palace.
The survey results given by Lu Bing are some.
As for who it is, Lu Bing doesn’t know if he can’t find it out, or he dares not check it out.
However, it is enough for Jiajing.
He didn't even need to know who did this, he just needed to know one thing, and now the battle between Yan Song and Xia Yan has reached a point where he can't be suppressed. The two of them struggled so fiercely that they even did not hesitate to use a way to hurt their reputation.
Whether it is Xia Yan or Yan Song.
They crossed the line.
"Your Majesty." Huang Jin said, "It's been divided."
Jiajing turned his head and found that there were layers of two long cases, and there were countless memorials, but it seemed that there were more people who impeached Xia Yan and fewer people who protected Xia Yan. The former was twice as big as the latter. However, the long case in the middle was empty.
Jiajing asked, "Is there no important matter in the court that urgently needs to be dealt with?"
Huang Jin said, "I have read it, there is no one. However, in my opinion, it should be the cabinet or Tongzhengsi. Why don't I go and ask?"
Jiajing shook his head slightly and said, "No need."
At this time, Jiajing realized that this matter could not be delayed.
Although Jiajing is not diligent now, he has also worked diligently at the beginning. Jiajing himself knew how much government affairs the Ming Dynasty had in a day. Some things are busy all day long. Sometimes he is free, but there are three or five things that must be dealt with every day.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is so big, there are always big and small things that need to be decided by the above.
Anyway, during the years when Jiajing was diligent, he had almost never encountered any thing he had to deal with.
Therefore, Jiajing doesn't believe that there is nothing to deal with today.
He believed that Huang Jin's judgment should be the Tongzhengsi, and even paused for a moment in other channels.
It is useless to investigate such small things. After all, if you really want to exaggerate, there is naturally a way to deal with them. However, in actual operation, according to the handling process of this era, one day in the morning and one day in the evening, are all normal.
Jiajing has no meaning to deal with it.
This only proves that the storm this time has affected the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he may not be able to use the method of delaying suppression and leaving a moderate amount. The sooner this matter is, the better.
Since Jiajing figured it out, he immediately ordered: "It is said that the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Six Ministry of the Censorate, entered the Yuxi Palace to discuss matters. All officials in Beijing who made the original words and reconciled the matters will also bring them."
Huang Jin immediately agreed and said, "Abide by the order."
Huang Jin immediately sent countless eunuchs to pass the order.
And this news also reached Zhou Mengchen's ears in Xiyuan. Teng Xiang asked in and said, "It's done. Wait for a while, you can just sneak in."
If only the six ministers of the cabinet and the Censorate are present, Zhou Mengchen will not be able to mess around, but there are not seventy or eighty people who make the case again, and there are thirty or fifty people. Once there are too many people, Zhou Mengchen will be inconspicuous.
Zhou Mengchen immediately said, "Thank you Brother Teng."
About an hour later, officials from all walks of life moved the palace gates into the Western Garden, with hundreds of people of all sizes. In an instant, the Yuxi Palace Hall was filled with
As mentioned earlier, Yuxi Palace is just a place for collecting books. The place is not too big. At least compared to the three major halls, the Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall commonly used by the emperor are smaller. Huang Jin moved the bookshelf on the first floor in advance to accommodate hundreds of people.
Among hundreds of people, Zhou Mengchen found a place to lean against the pillar. He could use the stone foundation under the pillar to see clearly the situation ahead.
Under the organization of the eunuchs, the ministers stood according to the grade arrangement, and only heard a sound of jade chimes. Huang Jin said, "Your Majesty is here."
Then Jiajing came out from behind and sat on the right hand. Jiajing said softly: "All the Lords are flat."
All the ministers below stood up, and some even tried to look at Jiajing a few times, worried that they would look directly at Your Majesty. They were seriously inappropriate in the imperial court, but in short, they were very entangled.
Zhou Mengchen could also understand their entanglements.
Unlike Zhou Mengchen who entered the palace, it was as convenient as going home. Even when it was too late, he could stay in the West Garden for one night. These ministers had not seen the emperor for many years or even longer. In addition to a few people in the cabinet, it was not easy for the six ministers of the ministers to see Jiajing.
Not to mention other ministers.
Jiajing even had the great sacrificial affairs carried out by the nobles.
However, although Jiajing has not appeared in front of the ministers for a long time, he is still familiar with such a scene. He said: "If you make up for the remake, it is important to be careful. Now you have different opinions and I don't understand the reason. Therefore, I asked you to discuss matters in front of you today. Let me tell you about this matter."
"What do you think?"
Almost all the ministers said together: "My ministers and others obey the order."
Jiajing said, "Gei Xia, what do you mean?"
