Chapter 1291 I’m fighting in the court (two updates combined into one)

"Prime Minister, Cai really wants to harm my brother!" In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Yue faced Su Zhe's words.

Zhang Yue was sitting and playing chess. He was holding a chess book in one hand and arranging the chess pieces facing the chessboard.

After hearing what Su Zhe said, Zhang Yue said: "I understand. I am not in the court today. When I heard that the decree was issued, it was already too late."

"It was too late to save Zizhan."

Cai Que also made a time lag, and while he was taking a bath yesterday, he suddenly issued a bullet to impeach Su Shi. The emperor was furious and issued an edict, demoting Su Shi to the position of magistrate of Ruzhou.

Zhang Yue read some of He Zhengchen's papers and picked up some poems written by Su Shi in Korea and dedicated them privately to the ruler of Korea.

Wang Hui, the leader of the Goryeo Kingdom, held Su Shi in high regard, and could even be described as worshiping him. Su Shi may have been sad that he was depressed in the Song Dynasty, but he was so highly regarded by the Goryeo King. So he praised Wang Hui Ji when he presented a poem to him at the end of the banquet.

The standards in the poem were a bit high, which aroused the emperor's displeasure.

This feeling is like in a relationship between a man and a woman, I feel angry with you but feel warmed by other women.

Originally these poems were circulated in the royal court of Goryeo, but they were secretly recorded by people with ulterior motives. In addition, Su Shi advocated that the Song Dynasty and Goryeo share the same text, and at the same time, as an ally of Khitan in restricting sea routes, he proposed a series of preferential trade policies for Goryeo, so they were

Impeachment involves foreign countries.

Although the charges that Huang Yan impeached Su Shi were somewhat false, he was afraid that he would not be able to save Su Shi at the time.

Zhang Yue looked at Su Che's angry look and said, "Ziyou, as a person in power, the most important thing is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, instead of going down the mountain to fight with the tiger."

"The reason why Cai Que attacked Brother Ling was because he was worried that he would not be taken seriously by the emperor."

"Of course you blame me for this."

Su Zhe saluted him. He was very talented in politics and knew the context clearly. He also knew why Cai Que suddenly attacked his brother. Su Zhe said: "The Prime Minister's words are serious."

"Su has been collecting charges against Cai Chizheng and his gang members over the years. The prime minister previously advised me to settle the matter, and Su listened."

"Unexpectedly, Cai Chizheng struck preemptively this time. It will be difficult to deal with it in the future."

Su Che had always intended to embarrass Cai Que, but he had always been suppressed by Zhang Yue before, but now Cai Que took the lead in making things difficult for Huang Yan.

After hearing this, Zhang Yue thought that impeachment was like this. He had to strike first to gain the upper hand, and the person who strikes later would be very powerless if he rebutted.

If Su Che impeached Cai Que first, and then Cai Que retaliated against Su Shi, it would appear that the other party was seeking revenge for personal reasons.

Even if Su Zhe had strong evidence now, he would not be able to win people's trust if he presented it.

Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, when I asked you to check the accounts and collect evidence from Lu Jifu, he burned down the third division. Didn't I let him succeed in the first place?"

"What happened to Lu Jifu later? He was dismissed as prime minister and left the capital."

Su Zhe heard this and said: "Prime Minister, it was Su who was reckless. He was really eager before."

"But Cai Que has evil intentions. He said before that he would burn books to embarrass scholars and suppress speech. I think the next step will be to accuse a deer of a deer. At this moment, the prime minister must nip the evil in its bud and must not tolerate it."

Su Che repeatedly asked Zhang Yue to take action against Cai Que.

Zhang Yue glanced at him and continued to put words on the chessboard, and said slowly: "Ziyou, Lan Ke's real secrets are so magical. One game has brought spring several times. Once you come out of the cave, you are invincible. You have to be merciful and merciful."

.”

"When we play chess, we have to 'forgive others when we have to.' It doesn't matter if you make a move first!"

Su Zhe was immediately disappointed after hearing this. He had been bullied to death by Cai Que. Did the Prime Minister still delay in speaking out?

Zhang Yue placed another piece on the chessboard, and then changed the topic and said: "But there is a saying that you have to be merciful and you have to be merciful, and there is another saying that you can't beat the opponent if you come out of the hole!"

"You are not invincible, how can you be merciful to others!"

Su Zhe was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhang Yue said: "I have been reluctant to take action because I was worried about causing party strife. I will give you and your brother an explanation for this matter."

"Please Prime Minister, please uphold justice!" Su Che thanked him and left.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, if he repeatedly forced the old party and the new party to stop causing trouble in the court.

Now that Cai has indeed broken his own rules and taken the initiative to attack Su Shi, he must take action.

Cai Que has been provoking trouble and opposing his own "Ming Ming De" for more than a day or two. What he said to Su Zhe before was also to let him know his difficulties, because standing behind Cai Que is actually the emperor. Your Excellency, the emperor

The way is to transcend the contradiction and let the people below get caught in the contradiction.

So Cai really wants to create contradictions even if there are no contradictions.

Regardless of Cai Que's goal, whether he wins or loses, as long as the emperor can always be in the position of arbiter, Cai Que will win.

So how to deal with Cai Que?

Zhang Yue knew deep in his heart that he must use his own strengths to attack Cai Que's weaknesses. If he went to the emperor to complain, and finally let Cai Que get a few scoldings, his purpose would be achieved.

…

"Zuo Cheng, Zuo Cheng, someone wrote a letter to Wenguyuan to impeach Huang Yan for misuse of ministerial money when he was the prime minister of Sinong Temple!"

"Han Zhongyan took advantage of the imperial examination to correct Xu Ming, Zhou Song and other ministers and provincial officials, delaying matters and not reporting them, so they were dismissed from their posts!"

After hearing this, Cai Que gently waved the fan at his hand. He Zhengchen, who was standing beside him, looked at Cai Que's expression towards Qi and Xing Shu.

Huang Yan heard this and laughed loudly: "Well done! Well done!"

As the person involved, Huang Yan looked at the copied transcripts calmly, as if he didn't care at all.

"Choice for impeachment?" Cai Que also sneered, "Could Zhang San have lost his mind?"

Everyone knows that Huang Yan is the supervisory censor. Although he is Cai Que's thug, generally speaking, when the censor is in office, he has a first-class aura. Yan Guan has the qualifications to hear things, you dare to impeach Yan

Officials just block people's mouths and prevent them from talking. What's more, Huang Yan just impeached Su Shi.

Huang Yan said: "Zuo Cheng, you don't need to pay attention. You can show the world. Is Zhang San going to become the prime minister?"

"Aren't you even allowed to speak? What's the use of being an official?"

"With such revenge, isn't his ambition clearly revealed? I think Zhang San wants to be like Sima Yi!"

Huang Yan burst out with anger.

No one spoke.

He Zhengchen said: "Zhang Sanlang is definitely out of his mind. Who would have thought that choosing him to impeach Su Zizhan would hit his weak spot."

Xing Shu said: "I see from Zhang San that he will soon be the prime minister, and now he won't pretend anymore. Husbands don't fight, so no one in the world will fight for him, so they won't do this anymore."

"I directly argued with Zuo Cheng."

Cai Quedao: "If that's the case, I'm not afraid of him. The more cliquey he is to protect Su Zizhan, the more it appears that he wants to form cliques in the government for personal gain."

"Isn't the emperor afraid of the merger of the Fujian and Shu parties?"

"Could it be that after he withdrew from Zhang San, he still wanted to control the government?"

Huang Yan stood up and said: "Zuo Cheng, I will confront Zhang San in the court hall tomorrow to see how he treats me!"

"Dare you stop the Prime Minister? Don't you want the position anymore?" Cai Que said.

Huang Yan said: "As long as you are willing to be killed, what does it matter to the prime minister?"

Cai Quedao: "It doesn't have to be like this. Several of us are officials and have come from humble backgrounds, and you chose the right one to be the censor. Didn't His Majesty just take a fancy to your integrity?"

"Zhang San can only use trivial details like the minister's money to embarrass you."

Huang Yan said: "Yes, although he, Zhang San, is an honest official and has a very upright character. But there are so many businesses in his family. Who knows that half of the land on Xihe Road has been bought by Zhang Wu, Wen and several wealthy families!"

"Zhang's party has controlled the imperial court's economy for so many years. The party has been investigating from top to bottom. How many people except Huang Anzhong can stay out of the matter?"

He Zhengchen said: "Zuo Cheng, I will collect the charges and present them directly to His Majesty!"

Xing Shu quickly said: "Everyone, if this is the case, it will cause a big fuss. The Liao army is still in the east of the river, and your Majesty does not want to see the rise of party disputes between the DPRK and China."

"I think it's better to discuss it with Zhang San, as long as everyone is willing to take a step back."

…

After Yuanfeng's restructuring, the imperial ginseng system also changed.

It is divided into four categories: Japanese ginseng, six ginseng, Wangwang ginseng, and Shuoshen ginseng.

Japanese ginseng means one ginseng per day. Those who are above the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, above the rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs, above the rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Secretariat, above the rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, above the rank of Zhongcheng of the Censor, and the two deans of the privy council are the Japanese ginseng officers, who have to go to see the emperor every day.

As for the officials of the other three provinces, the Yushitai official and the temple superintendent are called Liushen officials. The so-called Liushen refers to the original five-day daily life. Because they meet six times a month, they are called Liushen officials.

As for Shuowang Shen, it is the official of the two ginsengs. They are the temple supervisors and officials above Dali Temple's evaluator. They come to the court twice on the two days of Shuowang every month.

Finally, there are the Shuoshen officials, who are also the Yueshen officials. Officials above Tongzhilang should come to the court on the first day of every month to take part in the ceremony, just once a month.

Therefore, after the reform, the higher the official position, the more often he could see the emperor, and the lower the official position, the less often he could see the emperor. This also made it easier for officials, big and small, to avoid having to run to the palace whenever they had nothing to do.

The Japanese ginseng officer is basically the category of the attendant officer in the past. He can get the treatment of discussing thoughts with the emperor day and night, and can even go directly to ask for permission.

Originally, the official class order was based on miscellaneous pressure.

The miscellaneous pressure is a ranking formula that calculates the total of the job title and the official name. Now that the system of job title is removed, the calculation of the miscellaneous pressure is much simpler. The meaning of the official position is also clear at a glance.

On this day, it was Wangsui, and officials from the foreign DPRK were on duty outside.

But the Prime Minister was not in this group, but played the duel alone.
