Chapter 41: Appearance, suddenly enlightened(1/3)

Censor Tang Lian was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing reign. He was not admitted to the Hanlin Academy, but was sent to a local area and served as the magistrate of Baodi County.

During his tenure, he repaired the city and dredged it. Because of his achievements in defending the city, he caught the attention of Gao Gong, so he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works and changed to the censor.

This is the most typical official relationship.

Every time Gao Gong was impeached and was promoted to official position as usual, Tang Lian would join other Gao Gongmen to beg Yuan Fu.

It is this kind of character who is now kneeling down and howling, wanting to renounce his relationship with Gao Gong!

He can even say that Gao Gong is heartbroken and crazy.

This is not willing to be a repetitive villain, even Shilin Qingming is not willing to do it!

The court officials who had not read the memorial were even more panicked. What on earth was Gao Gong doing? Even such a close friend had abandoned him!

Zhu Yijun looked at Tang Lian: "Tang Lian, I am asking the ministers to discuss matters, not for you to criticize your colleagues."

"Yuan Fude is highly respected and he is the assistant minister left by our emperor. How can I allow you to disparage him at will?"

Although the high arch really surprised him.

But it didn't make him lose his mind.

This matter can be big or small.

To put it mildly, it was just a matter of impatience and lack of thorough thinking.

To put it more seriously, it is a rebellion!

If he had a twitch, it was either the latter or he was about to overturn the table. How could he bear to let Zhu Xizhong lift the butcher's knife until the last moment?

This is related to the stability of the DPRK, so we must not talk nonsense.

Just like the unscrupulous Tang Lian, if Gao Gong is crazy, then what does it mean to reuse his late emperor? What does it matter to Fu Bi's new emperor?

There is a winner or lose in the struggle, but if you even talk about losing your mind and being crazy, the situation will easily get out of control - unless he really arranges five hundred swordsmen in this side hall, Gao Gong cannot be crazy.

After the official scolded Tang Lian from leaving the court, all the officials read Gao Gong's memorial.

During this period, the Minister of Punishment was old and frail and could not stand for a long time, so he fainted.

Everyone tried to save him, and his body parts were all fine, but he couldn't open his eyes.

This made those high-arching party members look anxious and at a loss.

Zhu Yijun saw everything.

Is Gao Gong's memorial so powerful? Of course it is.

What are the five so-called urgent new policies?

To put it simply, firstly, when the royal family listens to the government, each yamen reports and Yuyin answers in person, so there is no need for the ceremonial supervisor to do anything.

Secondly, after the emperor returned to the palace, he personally handled the memorial, which meant that the two palaces were not allowed to interfere with the memorial.

Third, everything must be reported in person. What if the emperor is in the palace? When encountering urgent and important matters, ministers must be allowed to see him at any time, and no one can stop him.

Fourth, the emperor's edict must be approved by the cabinet before it can be implemented.

Fifth, you can’t leave your hair in the middle. If you have a stubborn head? Then the third one is tailor-made. Don’t blame it for being picked up in the middle of the night.

Any one of them can cause an uproar in the court.

Not to mention playing all five things at once.

Being able to force both Feng Bao and Zhu Yijun to stand on the same front, one can imagine the pressure.

Zhu Yijun really wanted to partially agree.

For example, by abolishing the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it would help him get rid of Feng Bao. If he was too busy in the future, he would probably reinstate him.

But the rest... can only shake their heads.

The second article seems to be showing support for the emperor, but don't forget that the master is now in doubt.

Once the Queen Mother is excluded and she is left alone to face the cabinet, it will not be fun.

The last three items make people wonder if Gao Gong is out of his mind.

Without the consent of the cabinet, the edict cannot leave the Forbidden City. So, are you the emperor or am I the emperor?

I still want to report at any time. If I can be picked up even if I sleep in the middle of the night, then why am I still doing this and becoming an emperor?

Zhu Yijun looked at Lu Tiaoyang: "Lv Qing, what do you think of Yuan Fu's performance?"

He naturally understood why Feng Bao pulled him out and pushed him.

Gao Gong's memorial should be sent back to him during the court discussion!

Otherwise, once they arrive at the palace, the more than 20 mouths that will be attached to them will not be as easy to control as the imperial court.

From the local governor to the chief secretary, they all have Gao Gong's disciples and old friends.

If the commotion is really outrageous and we want to dismiss this memorial lightly, it won't be that simple.

Therefore, he must come forward and put an end to this matter at the court meeting.

This is probably one of the countermeasures that Feng Bao and Lu Tiaoyang discussed yesterday.

He also accepted the move tacitly and asked Lu Tiaoyang what he thought first.

Lu Tiaoyang had already prepared a plan, so he bowed and replied: "I don't think so about this."

"Your Majesty has not yet developed his dragon body. He not only studies hard and teaches every day, but also attends court to listen to politics. After the period of filial piety is over, he also needs to learn military archery."

"Yuanfu blindly tries to encourage the growth of the seedlings. He also answers questions personally from Yuyin, handles memorials, and meets with ministers at any time. I think this is absolutely undesirable!"

This attitude is very clear.

The emperor was already young and still growing, so he had so many things going on that he couldn't handle them at all.

Gao Gong's memorial obviously has ulterior motives!

Zhu Yijun nodded and looked at Wang Guoguang: "Wang Qing, what do you think?"

The order of his orders was naturally calculated.

Let’s first click on all those who object.

Regardless of people's tendency to follow the crowd, if everyone is opposed to this, those who are hesitant behind will be able to push their heads back just by the psychological pressure.

Wang Guoguang bowed and replied: "I think otherwise."

"Just this sentence, 'After the imperial review, all drafts will be sent to the cabinet and presented to the cabinet, and if they are in order, then they will be issued' is really inappropriate."

"It is the common practice of the country that not all memorials can be issued until His Majesty issues a cabinet vote."

"For example, appointments and dismissals in the inner court are never discussed by the court. Otherwise, yesterday, when Admiral Li Jin took charge of Dongchang, why was there no cabinet discussion?"

These words not only spoke for the emperor, but also reminded the emperor that this was a real erosion of authority.

I was afraid that the emperor was too young to understand the connotation.

Zhu Yijun smiled and turned to look at Feng Bao: "Feng Daban, what Wang Qing said seems to make sense, what do you think?"

Feng Bao said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, since Yuan Fu doesn't need the Chief of Ceremonies to approve the red, why not just ask for the palm seal?"

These words are heart-wrenching.

Your cabinet needs the right to propose proposals and the right to veto, and the emperor's edicts need to be heard by the cabinet, so why don't you just take the jade seal?

Zhu Yijun didn't answer the question and continued to go over one by one: "Yang Qing, what do you think?"

Yang Bo hurriedly said: "What your Majesty and the Queen Mother mean is what our Ministry of War means."

This old cunning guy.

Zhu Yijun didn't ask any questions about Gao Gong's disciples and old friends, and left people like Ge Shouli, Han Ji, Luo Zun and others aside.

After everyone who could ask questions was forced to express their opinions, only the high-profile people were left in the court.

Fortunately, it is finally close to half.

Zhu Yijun ignored some people and said to himself: "Half of the court officials do not approve of Yuan Fu's memorial, so there is no need to discuss it further."

"We might as well ask Yuan Fu to go back and polish it up."

After some revision and polishing, Gao Gongzhishi's memorial has already been approved.

Lu Tiaoyang immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Wang Guoguang, Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei and others followed suit and prostrated themselves to receive the edict.

Zhu Heng waited for half a beat and quickly agreed.

At this time, everyone looked at Ge Shouli from the corner of their eyes.

Ge Shouli was stunned for a moment, and finally bowed down and accepted the order.

Then all the officials heaved a sigh of relief.

Even Zhu Yijun and Feng Bao, who were above the royal level, couldn't help but look at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

Just when the two of them relaxed.
