The next day, it¡¯s past time.
The Wenyuan Pavilion next to the Wenhua Hall was as busy as ever.
In a room in the middle of Wenyuan Pavilion, there are statues of academic masters of the past dynasties, including the founders of Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, etc.
In the important place of the imperial court, the children of various families were vying for excellence, hoping to carve a niche for their own theories.
But from beginning to end, Confucianism and Legalism still had the upper hand. Most of the successive prime ministers and deputy prime ministers came from these two schools.
The area where the four prime ministers and deputy prime ministers work is located around the statue of the saint, and is divided into six rooms. This means that at one time there were six prime ministers and deputy prime ministers at most, but now it is a normal configuration of four.
The imperial imperial room to the east of Wenyuan Pavilion was built as a small building to store various books and materials, while the imperial imperial room to the west was a three-room shed for various official offices.
The so-called roll shed, in today¡¯s terms, is a large open office where everyone squeezes together to do things.
The officials who can get in and out of here are not easy, and they are generally the subordinates of the prime ministers who can use them easily. After leaving, even if they have low official positions, the six ministries and major yamen have to be polite.
Everyone knows that the position of Prime Minister is the head of government affairs of the imperial court.
But what are their responsibilities?
That is to "prepare machine affairs, take orders from the emperor, follow the ancestral constitution, follow the old rules and regulations, present reports to Mo You, write brief questions and memorials, propose suggestions and comments, prepare advisors, and smooth the administration of the common people."
To describe it in the simplest terms, the prime ministers are in charge of all affairs of Dakang. In theory, they can come up with solutions or give opinions on all memorial issues, and then submit them to the emperor for approval.
If the emperor agrees, then he will put a check mark and hand it over to the prime ministers for execution.
If the emperor disagrees, he will directly hand it back to the prime ministers for further discussion.
"If you can't get any results after repeated attempts, you can wait until the court meeting to discuss it with all the officials.
¡°As long as the emperor¡¯s bottom line is not involved and all the officials are on the side of the prime ministers, the memorial can be passed.
Of course, you, the emperor, can insist on vetoing it.
But if you do this several times in a row, it will make people doubt the emperor's ability to control the situation of the court - you see, the prime ministers are not of the same mind as you!
So when that time comes, the prime ministers can only submit their resignations collectively and ask the emperor to choose Gao Ming.
From the establishment of the Kang Dynasty to the present, nothing like this has ever happened to embarrass the emperor.
Generally speaking, all the successive emperors of the Kang Dynasty were able to listen to what was said, and even those with mediocre qualifications did not cause anything out of control.
"As for the current Emperor Jinghe, he has discussions with the prime ministers, and it is absolutely impossible for him to act arbitrarily.
That is to say, the prime ministers have never been of the same mind. Otherwise, if they had joined forces to get it done, both Jing and Emperor would have become puppets.
In one of the rooms, Nangong Ji, who had been reading the memorial for half an hour, put down what he was holding and rubbed his eyes.
As a sixty-year-old minister, having to deal with official duties for at least four hours every day is undoubtedly a very heavy burden.
But Nangong Ji couldn¡¯t let it go at all, because on the other side of the heavy burden was the happiness he enjoyed at the peak of his power.
"How long has Prince Yu been teaching?" Nangong Ji waved and asked the official next to him.
The subordinate officer immediately replied: "It has been an hour and a quarter of an hour. I asked the Qianniu Guards a quarter of an hour ago. It is said that it is not over yet."
¡°It¡¯s been so long!¡± Nangong Ji nodded and looked at a certain direction outside the window, thoughtfully.
Another person next to him said softly: "Master Xiang, Wang Shangshu has been accompanying the emperor and listening."
"hehe."
Nangong Ji shook his hand, "This is nothing, it's none of your business, so don't make blind guesses."
"yes!"
"You go and wait over there. Once everyone comes out, call those people over."
"yes!"
The subordinate officer ran out quickly.
¡¡
At this moment, in a nearby room, a thin middle-aged man was in a good mood.
"Qiu Xiang, do you think Nangong Ji, an old fox, is restless now?" An official laughed in a low voice, "I saw just now that everyone in his room ran out several times."
"It would be weird if he could sit still!" Another official said without hesitation.He wrote a memorial and gave his own opinions, while replying: "Your Majesty wants to clean up the household department, then Prime Minister Nangong will feel uncomfortable. If your Majesty just allows them to be diligent in the king's affairs in the future, and be more honest and prudent from now on. , then there will be no problem.¡±
A subordinate who had been with him for more than 30 years asked, "Do we need to do something?"
"It's not necessary." Cao Yi said calmly, "Even if Your Majesty wants to investigate, it's just a scratch. If we cooperate with Ma Xiang in a big way to make trouble, it will make His Majesty unhappy. Nangong Xiang has outstanding abilities and is deeply loved by His Majesty. I believe that the current Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Shaoyi, is your Majesty¡¯s minister, no different than a horse."
Listening to Cao Yi's words, several subordinates secretly cursed.
The first half of what the Prime Minister said was right, but the second half was deliberately doing Tai Chi.
Why is Nangong Ji so talented?
¡°Isn¡¯t he just making money for His Majesty?
¡°Your Majesty has a gentle personality and is a sincere man. He will never be unjustly imprisoned or want to kill someone.
The shortcomings that can be found in his character may be that His Majesty sometimes speaks very viciously, which makes those who make mistakes unable to step down.
¡°Also, he likes beauty and has many concubines in the palace over the years.
But compared to another point, the above are nothing.
The most criticized shortcoming is His Majesty¡¯s lavish spending.
The lavish spending is not only reflected in the lavish rewards given to the clan and officials.
???????????????????????????? More importantly, in recent years, they have been renovating the palace and building mausoleums for the empress dowager, herself, the queen and the eldest prince who passed away unexpectedly. How can these not cost as much money as running water?
Precisely because of the huge cost, the income from the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone is far from enough to meet His Majesty¡¯s needs.
Nangong Ji relied on being able to supply this money at any time, so he was able to rise from the household department where there was a pool of sewage and was promoted to the deputy prime minister coordinating the household department.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of control of many household affairs, and at the same time continue to make money for His Majesty.
As long as His Majesty still has a large need for money, then Nangong Ji's position will be secure.
As for the current Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Feiteng, whose courtesy name is Shao Yi, he is also a minister of His Majesty's residence.
In later generations, being in jail together was regarded as one of the four strong ties who shared weal and woe. In ancient times, staying with a prince through life together, and finally getting through, that kind of relationship was even more iron-clad.
Not only is it the famous tiger class, it can fill any official position immediately if it becomes vacant, but unless you commit a huge crime, you will definitely be able to stay with the emperor and enjoy high official status and generous salary for the rest of your life.
Therefore, even if Ma Haoqiu is the deputy prime minister, he will not take advantage of these two people.
Unless the emperor really wants a thorough investigation, everything is empty talk.
¡¡
Note: In addition to their names, ordinary ancient people basically have characters. For example, Guan Yu has the character Yunchang. However, the royal family should be an exception. Among the emperors, princes, clans, etc. of the past dynasties, except for those one or two generations after the founding of the country, very few have left any writing.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, when he was a child, Emperor Jing, Empress Dowager Dou, and Mrs. Wang called him "Ashe", which means little pig. After Emperor Jing gave him the name and crown, he only had the name Liu Che.
Therefore, in this book, the children of the royal family generally have only names but no words; while the rest of the people have names and are often used when addressing them. This is more in line with the ancient usage habits.
In addition, many gentlemen may not have noticed that women in ancient times had no characters. Apart from their names, they were just nicknames at most. Characters were reserved for educated men.
