Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 755

Chapter 755

"You can't wait, Lord Xiang, the court is coming at noon, once..." Nangong Pushe was so anxious that the veins on his forehead burst out.

He didn't explain what he said, but everyone understood what he meant.

If the appointment of the court officials was announced today, if you procrastinate, the Golden Palace will directly dismiss you, isn't it too late for anything?

Lu Tiancong held up his teacup: "Today's court meeting should not be about the appointment and dismissal of court officials. The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, so it is impossible to do such a decisive thing. Don't be too nervous, it's a joke."

He was calm and breezy there, Nangong Pushe was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the building...

However, objectively speaking, Lu Tiancong's analysis makes sense...

It is not so easy to change court officials. Behind every court official is a community of interests. Do you think the emperor can change if he wants to?

If you change one or two, you won't be able to make any big waves.

If there are too many changes at one time, the emperor can't take it lightly if the big waves are caused.

What's more, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and today's announcement of a large-scale adjustment is inconsistent with the law. The court officials have sufficient reasons to oppose it. The new regime of Da Cang has not yet been formally born, and there will be civil strife. The enthronement ceremony will also be covered by a layer of variables.

The new emperor can't do such a thing.

Lin Su is famous for his wisdom, so he would not be so reckless.

Therefore, Lu Tiancong concluded that today's court meeting is not a large-scale exchange of courtiers.

However, what would cause the new emperor to break the convention and hold a grand court meeting before enthroning?

It's almost noon!

The court officials are all moving!

Everyone is the best side, even if the heart is on fire, they all show the feeling of being radiant on the forehead, having a good body, and serving the new emperor for 50 years.

The first batch of officials arrived, above the fifth rank and below the third rank, wearing red official robes. Young, everyone's best mental state is brought out, it is really a beautiful landscape outside the Zhengde Hall.

Among them, there is an official who is the most eye-catching. He is dressed in a fourth-grade court dress, elegant and suave, with a face like a crown jade, and an unparalleled temperament.

He is Qiu Zixiu!

At the moment, Qiu Zixiu looked composed and personable, and greeted everyone as soon as he saw him, as if he was full of ambition, but no one knew that his heart was full of fear.

He is the same year as Lin Su, and it is not an ordinary same year. From the beginning of the examination, he has been in the same year all the way. He went down halfway, but he was still a holy Jinshi.

Some people say that it was his misfortune that Qiu Zixiu met Lin Su.There is even a feeling of "He Shengxiu, He Shengsu".

This kind of statement makes Qiu Zixiu want to clean up the new hair that just grew on his head every time.

However, this statement changed later, and the root cause was Lin Su's rapid progress.

With his triumphant progress, others are no longer ashamed of being defeated by Lin Su, but proud of being able to compete with Lin Su on the same stage, even if he fails, it is also an honor.

For example, at literati gatherings, when some literati introduce Qiu Zixiu, they introduce it like this: This is Master Qiu Zixiu. Have you ever thought that Master Qiu and Lin Su, the first master of Qinglian, were in the same year, and when Lin Su won Huiyuan? , Mr. Qiu is the dimension, when Lin Su won the first prize, Mr. Qiu was a holy scholar...

This kind of introduction is definitely not a sarcasm for Qiu Zixiu, it can even be said to be full of goodwill.

However, when Qiu Zixiu heard this kind of kindness, he was still full of hair!

There is only one life in the scientific examination, he can't do it again, but he is sure to beat someone Lin in the officialdom.

Mr. Lin doesn't know the way of officialdom at all, his official position is destined to be in a low position, and he, holding the prince's thigh, flies up at a speed that anyone who is not blind can understand.

However, he saw through the rules of officialdom, but failed to see the general trend.

The old emperor stepped down, and the new emperor succeeded.

The new emperor was single-handedly supported by Lin Su.

How can Qiu Zixiu compare?

He racked his brains to support the crown prince, Lin Su directly supported the new emperor, and almost drove the old emperor off the dragon chair with his own strength!

The current Lin Su has already jumped out of the rules of officialdom.

Official rules are almost made by him!

Lin Su controls the rules of the officialdom, how will he define Qiu Zixiu?

This is Qiu Zixiu's anxiety at the moment...

Although he is a holy Jinshi, the imperial court has to look at the face of the Buddha even if he does not look at the face of the monk, and he has to be given a job to do, but Qiu Zixiu interpreted a rule from Lin Su, that is: the rules are never monolithic!

At this moment, from the corner of Qiu Zixiu's eyes, he caught a newcomer.

This person fell into his sight because this person was very special.

Others are dressed in official uniforms, but this person is dressed in civilian clothes.

Most of the others are in their seventies and eighties, but this person, like him, is very young and suave.

Yes, not only Qiu Zixiu thought so, but also Li Qingquan himself. He had long since discovered that he was a special case, not like a participant in the meeting, nor like a guard.

But there is no way, his participation in today's meeting was notified secretly by the servants in the palace.

It is His Majesty's oral order.

What Li Qingquan deciphered from this verbal instruction was Zhenchang!

Today's grand court meeting is extraordinary, and we have to prevent these ministers from making troubles. His Majesty asked him to come to control the place, so he made arrangements with the Qinglong and Baihu armies early on, and changed into the clothes of the guards and guarded the palace gate In addition, but there is a change, shot to kill.

However, he never imagined that he would be the only topic at today's court meeting...

And this issue is related to his ultimate dream...

It didn't take long for the officials below the third rank to arrive at the scene, and the senior officials above the third rank arrived one after another.

When Deng Hongbo arrived, a bunch of senior officials came up to him, and the one who walked the fastest was Li Daxian, Secretary Zhengqing of Jiaofang. Cleansing cream, is it still useful?"

Deng Hongbo looked at him with a half-smile: "It turns out that the medicinal materials delivered to the mansion yesterday were sent by Mr. Li. I should thank Mr. Li."

Li Daxian said with a smile: "My lord was suffering a lot in the prison a few days ago, and I also hope that my lord will recover soon and help my emperor revive the court, so I sent my subordinates to travel three hundred miles to Huainan to obtain this elixir. After adults take it, it can have some effect."

Deng Hongbo said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I didn't know that this medicine came from Mr. Li. I thought it was some insidious trick on the rivers and lakes. I had already thrown this medicine into the firewood and burned it clean. Hui, ashamed, ashamed..."

Li Daxian's fat face stands like a pig's liver...

Suddenly Deng Hongbo's eyes lit up, and he passed by him, just in time to meet another person who came in from the outside. This person had three long beards and was wearing a third-rank court uniform. It was Yushi Zhouzhang.

"Master Zhou!" Deng Hongbo bowed.

"Master Deng has recovered from his illness?" Zhou Zhang faced with a smile.

Deng Hongbo laughed: "If you don't recover from the wonderful medicine gifted by Master Zhou, wouldn't you be ashamed of your kindness to Master Zhou?"

"What kind of medicine? It's bought on the street, and it costs three pennies a bag. If you're interested, just give me three taels of silver."

As soon as the two of them spoke, the faces of others were all wrong.

Be it Zhou Zhang or Deng Hongbo, they hardly spoke in the third-rank circles in the past, because as long as they spoke, they would definitely fall into the cynicism of the other third-rank officials.

But now, they speak in public with ease, while others are trembling. Among these people, there are Tianlao Zhengqing, Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Jiaofang Si Zhengqing...

Because they were all the main persons in charge of Deng Hongbo's going to prison in the early stage.

Deng Hongbo set fire to the medicine given by Li Daxian, and thanked Zhou Zhangsan for the medicine bought there. It has already fully demonstrated that Deng Dapao has a clear love and hatred. Is this a sign of settlement after autumn? ...

It's the turn of the second product.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials He Jingjun, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Gao Gelin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Li Zegang, Minister of the Ministry of Households He Yunkai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites Zhou Yunzhi, Minister of the Ministry of War Song Du...

The eyes of the four people in front are bloodshot, which fully shows the torment in their hearts.

The expressions of the latter two were relatively calm, but they were definitely not really calm.

First-rank senior members appear!

Ouyang Dong, a scholar of the Imperial Academy (after Chen Geng took over from Bailu Academy, Ouyang Dong became the new academician of the Imperial Academy), Su Changhe, a scholar of the Gongyuan Academy, Chen Geng, the dean of Bailu Academy, and Zhang Juzheng, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The latter two came side by side, Ouyang Dong and Su Changhe bowed at both sides, as if they were going to have a few words with them, but these two adults seemed to be deeply attracted to each other, whispering to each other along the way, completely ignoring the two human existence.

Ouyang Dong and Su Changhe looked at each other, and they both saw great anxiety in each other's eyes.

At this moment, an old figure came in from the outside. When he came in, he immediately gave everyone a reassurance that he was Lu Tiancong.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the old ministers were in panic.

And Prime Minister Lu Tiancong is their backbone.

The senior ministers hadn't made up their mind yet, whether they should say a few words to the prime minister at this time, Lu Tiancong had already passed by them, and arrived in front of Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng.

"Master Zhang, Master Chen!" Lu Tiancong's voice was as calm and soothing as before.

"Lord Lu!" The two academicians also returned their salutes at the same time.

"Your Majesty's efforts to set things right this time, the two lords have done a great job, I am deeply ashamed and grateful." Lu Tian said.

"Master Lu's words...what do you mean?" Zhang Juzheng said.

Lu Tiancong pointed to the Palace of Political Virtue in front of him and said, "Look, my lords, there has been a great change, the capital is not in chaos, the palace is not damaged, and the hearts of the people are settled, which shows that King Chen's victory in the world is what the people want and what everyone expects , This is where the old man is gratified and thankful. But the old man was unable to see the face of the hypocrite before, so he was deeply ashamed and ashamed."

Chen Geng and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other, and Chen Geng smiled faintly: "That's true!"

As soon as the three words came out, Lu Tian felt a chill in his heart.

He talked for a long time, and the standard response should be comfort. If Chen Geng and Zhang Juzheng had a little common sense in the officialdom, they should have answered like this: Who can see the face of a hypocrite?The prime minister acts according to the order of the emperor, as a matter of course, why should he be ashamed?

In that way, Lu Tiancong also found a reason to stand in the court again.

However, these two adults have lost the common sense of officials at this moment, and even answered directly: It is true!

Fortunately, there were two first-rank officials, and Ouyang Dong stepped forward: "It's a top secret for a hypocrite to do such a rebellious act. The Prime Minister takes care of everything every day, so how can he know everything. The holy words, those who don't know it is not a crime."

Su Changhe interfaced: "The words of the Yangdong University scholar are correct. The responsibility on the shoulders of the Prime Minister is to guide the righteous way, to help the common people in the world, and to follow the emperor's orders. How can he violate the laws of the Great Cang and spy on the selfishness of the superior? Why? Need to blame yourself?"

In the name of appeasing the prime minister, the two each defended themselves.

In a short time, the embarrassment is eliminated, which is really a first-class method.
