Chapter 235 Siege
The dynasty meeting and the regular meetings in Xuanqing Weili are essentially the same. The main reason is that the emperor needs to listen to what major events happened in the country during this period, or the matters that are puzzled in the memorial book can be discussed at the dynasty meeting.
So as soon as the emperor's words came to an end, he started step by step from the six ministries and came out to report his errands one by one.
All the officials below listened carefully, and from time to time they would take out charcoal pens to make some records on the fluorene board.
The emperor listened on the chair, and there was also a clerk around him to help him write down some data and other things. When he encountered doubts or had different opinions, the emperor would ask more questions, and even ordered some people to go out to participate in the discussion.
This is the Great Court meeting, nothing is strange, but the discussion is larger and the coverage is wider.
The whole morning was the affairs report of each department, and I had a rest in the middle, and the rest of the time was arranged very tightly.
After that, lunch was also eaten in Wanmin Palace. The servants would put the food in a food box, then bring the cushions and small tables, each one, and they would be taken away immediately after eating.
Moreover, the emperor would also eat in Wanmin Palace, and the king and his ministers would eat together, which is also an interesting point in the grand dynasty meeting.
Before the beginning, the grand court meeting continued.
"Do you have something to report?"
The morning is a routine report, and the afternoon is a discussion and report on special events. Some memorials that were kept by the emperor and refused to be issued will be raised by the minister at this time, reminding the emperor to deal with it as soon as possible.
Moreover, the grand ceremony in the afternoon will be the stage for censors. They like the most to criticize the court at this time, and sometimes point to the nose. However, they are usually targeted military positions. In the past, the army was said the most miserable and almost beaten into scum. It was entirely up to Yang Yansi to hold on the top of the waves. Otherwise, the army might not just set up a military supervisor now, and maybe even the command authority must be approved by the civil servants before they can lead the troops.
Now that the army has been pressed into the mud bar, Yang Yansi is naturally not worthy of becoming a target anymore. So the target is moved to Xuan Qingwei.
Unfortunately, Xuanqingwei and the army look a bit similar, but in fact they are not the same. Moreover, the army has a subtle position when there is no war, but what about Xuanqingwei? It is always in wartime and always fights in places that ordinary people cannot see. There are thousands of Xuanqingwei who die every year. Moreover, Xuanqingwei is His Majesty's personal army, and the commander Pang Ban is also a royal golden sword cultivator. How can he tolerate provocations by civil servants?
That's why there will be a black flag camp in the interior to rectify the internal development by itself.
Then, although the case of the Bai Dengshan Wen family hit Jingbei Army and seemed to be bullying the army, the Xiu clan group behind the Wen family was the main target of attack, and by the way, the nobles who were connected with the Xiu clan were also slapped loudly in the face.
Later, especially in the case of the Pingshun City plague concealment, Xuan Qingwei almost pulled out the civil servant group with the nobles as the main and cultivators and still made a fool of himself on the street. Not only did he bring a great crisis of popularity to the local yamen in Fengricheng, but he also did not like the entire local yamen in Jingxi.
Even the emperor rarely issued three accountability documents in a row to ask the left minister to investigate the scum. This is the emperor's rare harsh attitude in recent years.
However, the civil servants have not conducted self-inspection yet. Xuan Qingwei has carried out another "Jingxi" operation in Jingxi. The target of the attack was the bad insects that smuggled materials to the barbarians, but directly affected all the yamen institutions and official stores in the entire Jingxi area. If you look deeper, these are part of the backbone of the civil servants' group.
Bad worms should be beaten, but in such a storm, the practice of lifting the lid directly without communication is another serious blow to the "fame" that the civil service system values the most.
What's even more annoying is that Xuan Qingwei only carried out a decisive and precise arrest within the jurisdiction of Fengricheng. No one escaped the net, but he deliberately delayed and indulged the bad insects in other places in Jingxi, giving the bad insects time to rely on the network of relationships in his hands to try to save themselves. However, he deliberately or unintentionally expanded the original scope of the impact by more than ten times.
Such repeated counterattacks showed Xuan Qingwei's attitude: I slap me and wanted to run away? There was no door!
So this time, the civil servant group has no way out, and no matter what the result is, they need to go through hard steel. Otherwise, Xuan Qingwei will dare to do more than it next time.
Moreover, this so-called "Jingxi" operation is no longer just a matter of Xuan Qingwei himself. It involves all aspects, and even the border troops cannot stay out of it.
The dissatisfaction of the whole court with Xuan Qingwei was also extremely high with this "Jingxi" operation.
This is an opportunity, but I have to see how the last one with the surname Pang ends!
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Ma Xuanlin, the Minister of Justice, walked out of the station squad and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
The Ministry of Justice is in charge of law and power. The powers and local governments are intersected. Although the six ministries are not strong, they should not be underestimated. Ma Xuanlin, the Minister of Justice, was also a noble family and had the right to speak in the temple.
The emperor had an inconvenient expression and still smiled, and did not seem to feel that it was strange that the censor had not appeared and the Minister of Justice came out to take the lead.
"Your Majesty," said the yamen of the Jingxi Xuanqingwei Punishment Office, launched a large-scale arrest operation against the smuggling case, which not only involved many official shops, but also involved a large number of officials. As the Minister of Justice, I took Your Majesty's decree as the basis and used the law as the ruler in my hand. I have never heard that Xuanqingwei could arrest officials without authorization and seize official shops without consultation.
This is a serious act of overreaching power and wantonly trampling on the laws of the state. Moreover, the arrest of Xuanqingwei is still continuing, and many people are involved. Some things that catch wind and shadow are also used by Xuanqingwei as iron evidence. The people of Jingxi are in panic all day long and are even more spreading.
I beg Your Majesty to reorganize the power of Xuanqingwei, strictly deal with those who do things arbitrarily, and to correct the laws of the country."
As soon as Ma Xuanlin finished speaking, a gray-haired third-rank official came out from behind, and it was Bai Changqing, the Minister of Revenue.
"Your Majesty, I'm reconsidering. Recently, Xuanqingwei has destroyed the self-inspection system of local yamen, regarding the power gap as nothing, and acts indiscriminately. Smuggling should have been investigated by the yamen, but it has been intervened without authorization. Even if it involves special circumstances, it should communicate with the yamen in advance and then transfer the case to the yamen as an assistance party. Instead of doing so in a mess now.
Nowadays, not only are the people in Jingxi in panic, but even other places in the country have been affected. The major official shops under the household department are even more trembling, afraid of being made by Xuanqingwei, and they have reported to the Ministry of Revenue for protection, which has seriously affected various outputs this year.
