Chapter 111 We are just learning the Analects
Jiaofang Division.
This place has always been a tryst place for dignitaries.
At this time, Zhao Botao, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, was dating Zuo Dongxiu, the official official secretary, and Liao Yiming, the censor, were also dating here.
Although these three people do not have great official status, they have great power. They almost control the power of personnel, review and rejection, and supervision of the entire empire!
Small officials hold great power, which is also a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. The following system is pursued.
The author does not know whether this system is good or bad.
But in general, it always makes it difficult for those in power to concentrate their power to do major things. For example, Zhu Houzhao discussed reforming the official selection system with the cabinet officials at this meeting, but it was still suspended.
"Come, beauty, give me a sip of my fragrance, sir. I heard that you used to be from Xie Gefu's house. It's okay. No one will love you in the future. I love you, sir!"
Zhao Botao hugged the girl from Jiaofangsi and acted dishonestly, kissing her everywhere with his oily old mouth.
At this time, Liao Yiming was also not easy to take off his clothes and belt with another girl, and said: "Mr. Zhao is so elegant that he doesn't know how the court will deal with us this time."
"What can we do with us? I can just dismiss you and Mr. Zuo! But please find a reason for the dismissal. You are the imperial censor and it is your duty to impeach officials. Mr. Zuo is the official who says that the official ban is unreasonable. Government decrees are also ancestral laws. If the superiors remove you without reason, it is against the rules and the officials will not accept it.”
Zhao Botao left the Jiaofang Si girl's breasts and said while eating the dishes that were packed with people.
"It's a pity that Wang Shu is still alive! With this person in the court, we can't even think about being free and happy!"
Liao Yiming was shaking up and down at this time, speaking a little hastily, and becoming even more angry.
"Although he is not dead, he is still injured. With his old age, he cannot go out to the fields to move around for a year and a half. In a short period of time, the imperial court has lost its official minister. I have been impeached and suspended by you, Liao Yushi. It's time to see how the court implements the method of selecting officials! Nowadays, there are a large number of vacancies in the court, the government decrees are no longer valid, and the selection of officials by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is still delayed. I'm afraid that the imperial court will not be able to function. The emperor and the cabinet can only ask the officials to select officials as quickly as possible. The so-called method of selecting officials through examinations can only be delayed for three to five years. When Ma Wensheng, these people die or the cabinet If the person or the emperor is changed, there will naturally be no way to select officials through examinations!”
Zhao Botao burst into laughter as he spoke.
Zuo Dongxiu, who was in charge of the official affairs, also walked out of the room at this time, with a hint of weariness: "This new girl from the Jiaofang Division is really happy." After saying this, he changed the subject:
< br>
"Mr. Zhao is right, what kind of decrees there are from above, we have what kind of countermeasures! Just like what Yang Xueshi said, doesn't the current emperor want to be a saint king or a great emperor? Then we will use the methods to deal with the saint king. Deal with him! Hahaha!”
Zhao Botao burst out laughing because of this and said: "To be honest, if San Gefu was not involved in the regicide case, Zhao would really miss the time when they were in power. Everything was based on the laws of the ancestors, and civil servants were selected for the Ministry of Personnel. , the Ministry of War selects weapons Officials and officials can participate in impeachment at will, but factory guards and eunuchs dare not act arrogantly. It is true that the government is full of integrity and the politics is clear. But now, factory guards are rampant, and the corrupt ministers are listed in the six cabinet departments. It can be said that there is a dark atmosphere and no daylight! "< br>
When Zhao Botao said this, Zuo Dongxiu and Liao Yiming also nodded frequently. Zuo Dongxiu even said: "I heard that the higher-ups are going to do something to pass the test, and then it will be even more difficult for you and me as officials!"
"So, no matter what, we must look for opportunities to expel these corrupt ministers from the Sixth Cabinet. The Sixth Cabinet can only be replaced by clean ones, in order to rectify the source!"
Liao Yiming said with great indignation.
……Bang!
Liang Ze, a Qianhu member of the Imperial Guard, kicked open the door and walked in. When he saw that the room was full of disheveled clothes, he couldn't help but say: "The three adults are really elegant!"
When Zhao Botao and three other officials who were enjoying the pleasure saw the Jin Yiwei appearing, they were all surprised and covered their faces with their hands: "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
"You should know what we are here for. Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liao just sent a memorial to you. You are quite generous, and you even drank with others and played with girls!"
Liang Ze, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, smiled.
"You Jin Yiwei, don't think that just because we are the emperor's people, you can act recklessly. We are not Zhao Langzhong. Don't talk nonsense. We are just exchanging poems and exchanging poems!"
When Zhao Langzhong thought that he was not wearing official uniform today, he denied it without thinking.
"Yes, yes, we all came to Beijing to take the exam. We are just studying the Analects of Confucius! You Jin Yiwei can't arrest people randomly!"
Zuo Dongxiu also hurriedly denied it. He was an official and did not want to be caught in such a mess, so he also denied making it up.
Liang Ze always felt that this was unfair. When he was a military attache of the seventh-rank general banner, he could not even support his family. However, he was also a seventh-rank official in the civil service department, but he had many slaves and was living in debauchery every day. Fortunately, he was now an adult. After seeing Jin Yiwei, naturally he didn’t have to suffer this kind of anger anymore, he just shouted:
"You don't have to quibble! The official seal on the nameplate can never deceive people! It's a good way to exchange poems and learn the Analects. Since it is a way to go to Beijing to take the exam, is there any need to learn the Analects!"
Liang Ze picked up the nameplate and official seal that Yushi Liao had dropped on the ground and threw it in front of them.
When Zuo Dongxiu saw that he couldn't hide anything from Li Ke, he simply slapped the table angrily: "How outrageous! Since you know our identities, why do you dare to come and take people away? Even if you Jin Yiwei are the emperor's eagle dogs, you can't I want to seize an official of the imperial court without any reason and interfere with the government's affairs! I am an official and I have every right to intervene first!"
Liang Ze smiled coldly and directly took out the imperial edict: "According to the decree! Send the official Zuo Dongxiu and the imperial censor Liao Yiming to prison! Try their crimes severely! You guys really overestimate your capabilities. The emperor and the cabinet agree He dares to refute the decree and even plays the trick of impeaching his own people! "
As soon as Liang Ze finished speaking, the Jinyi guards took the three of them into custody.
During the incident, Li Ke shouted directly to Zuo Dongxiu: "You Jinyi guards are just lackeys of the imperial court. What qualifications do you have to lock me up! My refutation is the power given by Taizu. You have no right to lock me up." , the cabinet has no power! Not even the emperor! You are trying to suppress Zhongliang! "
No matter how Zuo Dongxiu yelled at the official, Liang Ze didn't bother to pay attention. He just looked at Zhao Botao, the doctor of the literary selection department who was still lying on the couch with disheveled clothes: "I will report your matter to the emperor truthfully." ! Drinking wine with the censor who impeached you, and playing with the same girl. If Liang hadn't become a royal guard, I wouldn't have known that you civil servants were so harmonious and generous to each other!"
Liang Ze said and ordered: "Write down today's scene and report it truthfully!"
At this time, Zhao Botao was frightened and panicked, muttering: "How could it be possible, how could this be happening, how could they arrest people directly!"
"If you try to stop the imperial decree, do you think the imperial court will be polite to you?" Liang Ze said with a smile.
