Looking at the ticket in front of him, Chen Jinyun fell into deep thought.
The three cabinet ministers are titled Wenhuadian, Wuyingdian and Wenyuange respectively.
Chen Jinyun is a bachelor of Wuyingdian, also known as the "secondary assistant" in the world.
However, the difference between the word "first assistant" and "second assistant" can be described as heaven and earth, especially when the first assistant Zhao Yushan is deeply trusted by the emperor.
As the second assistant, he only handled the general affairs of the court. On some major administrative issues, his right to speak was pitifully small.
Of course, he is a bachelor of the cabinet after all, and his small say depends on who he is competing with. Anyway, he is much stronger than the chief officer of the six departments.
When you are in his position, you naturally see things very clearly.
He knew very well that on the surface this memorial was to impeach Wang Pei'an, but in fact it was directed at Zhu Jinghong.
What he knew better was that although this memorial was signed by a single person, there must have been a group of people behind it, and they were ready to use various tricks to attack.
If he suppresses this matter, those people will definitely attack him, and directly rejecting it will have the same result.
Chen Jinyun knew very well how powerful those officials were.
Of course, what he is afraid of is not these people, but the prince or Prince Rui behind them, or both.
Because he didn’t like Zhu Jinghong, after seeing the bullet, Chen Jinyun wrote down the vote without much thought.
Objectively speaking, whether it is to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice’s Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate or to suspend Wang Pei’an pending investigation, it is in line with the practice of handling this matter.
However, Chen Jinyun is extremely cautious, and is still worried about getting into trouble, especially if he is dismissed
He also rose through the ranks from the Imperial Academy, Yushi Yanguan, and feudal official,
p>
Looking at the matter again at this moment, he had the idea of tearing up the ticket.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was not appropriate. On the one hand, it would offend Prince Rui, and on the other hand, it was not in line with his true intentions.
It doesn't matter to him who succeeds Prince Rui, but it cannot be Zhu Jinghong.
The reason is that Zhu Jinghong himself supports Zhao Yushan, which Chen Jinyun has known for a long time.
The so-called support here does not mean supporting Zhao Yushan as the first assistant, but because Zhu Jinghong supports the policy of Qingzhang.
Support actually doesn't matter. The most terrible thing about Zhu Jinghong's rise to power is that he is really capable of promoting this matter.
With so much land in his Zhao Yushan family, he may be able to be upright and upright, but his colleagues and fellow villagers, his disciples and old friends, his family and relatives... these people are not willing to clear his father-in-law, and they all point to him to fight." tyranny".
Since this matter cannot be suppressed and cannot be explicitly supported, he can only choose to compromise.
Putting away the ticket, folding it and hiding it in his sleeve, Chen Jinyun took the note and left the duty room, and came to the duty room on the other side.
Inside is Zheng Zhiqing, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, also known as the "three"Assistant".
"Brother Zheng, what are you busy with?" ”
The third assistant Zheng Zhiqing is reading the report. In addition to assigning tasks to subordinates through voting, the elders must also supervise the assigned errands at all times.
Some things can be done quickly. , but some things take ten and a half days, or even longer, to take effect, so someone needs to hold on.
"Alas... the Ministry of Industry has completed the production of the ammunition last month. It is said that several workshops are broken down and are being repaired..."
As Zheng Zhiqing rambled on, he looked easy-going and calm, and could even see a sense of being aloof from the world.
p>
After hearing what Zheng Zhiqing said, Chen Jinyun stepped forward, sat on the guest chair, and said: "When the war starts in the future, things will only get more complicated! "
Right now, the news from the northwest has not returned, and they don't know that a war has broken out, so Chen Jinyun said this.
"Yes...that mess with the Ministry of Works, It’s really complicated and trivial! "
"In addition, there is a drought in Hebei this year, and the corruption incident in Zhending Mansion has now been brought out again..."
Seeing Zheng Zhiqing say something Not finished, Chen Jinyun didn't want to waste any more time, and immediately interjected: "Brother Zheng, it is not uncommon for officials to do illegal things since ancient times. They can be punished according to the law..."
Put the bullet aside. On the coffee table, Chen Jinyun adjusted his red robe and said, "Today's incident is different! "
"Really? "Zheng Zhiqing's expression remained unchanged.
"Someone is impeaching Wang Pei'an, the deputy imperial envoy! "
When saying this, Chen Jinyun carefully observed Zheng Zhiqing, wanting to see the change in his expression.
Although Zheng Zhiqing has always been indifferent, Chen Jinyun still had reason to suspect that this very Maybe he knew it in advance and was the one behind it.
Zheng Zhiqing looked shocked and couldn't see any flaws, so Chen Jinyun temporarily suppressed his suspicion.
"Is this happening? "Zheng Zhiqing asked.
Picking up the bullet again, Chen Jinyun stood up and walked towards Zheng Zhiqing, who also stood up from behind the desk to greet him.
After receiving the report, Zheng Zhiqing He opened it and looked at it, and soon understood the cause and effect, including the things behind this matter.
At this time, he frowned and thought hard, but what he was thinking about was not the matter of impeachment, but what Chen Jinyun had found. Purpose.
Walking to where Chen Jinyun was sitting just now, Zheng Zhiqing put the bullet back on the coffee table as if "accidentally", and then walked back and forth a few times before saying: "Mr. Chen Ge, this is Things are strange, so you should handle it with caution! "
Hearing the implication of Zheng Zhiqing's words, Chen Jinyun would not let him go easily, and immediately replied: "It's really strange, so I can't make up my mind... I came here to discuss with you! "
"This matter..."
After pondering for a while, Zheng Zhiqing replied: "It's not difficult. To put it bluntly, it is illegal to impeach officials! "
" Mr. Chen Ge has been in the cabinet for many years, and he has been through all kinds of storms, and he still can't handle these things! ”
"It's my business that is really laborious and I need Brother Chen's help to get the details!"
At this point, Zheng Zhiqing just walked to the desk and picked up a memorial. The report contained a request from the Chief Secretary of Yunnan for food adjustments.
Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Chen Jinyun answered: "Brother Zheng, Wang Pei'an is also the chief historian of Prince Xiang's palace. Now Prince Xiang leads 200,000 elite troops outside, which is very involved!"< /p>
When Chen Jinyun said this, Zheng Zhiqing looked very unhappy, because the latter had already crossed the line.
After sitting back at the desk, Zheng Zhiqing picked up the memorial and read it, and slowly asked: "So... Mr. Chen Ge, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Understood Chen Jinyun was not annoyed at all by Zheng Zhiqing's displeasure. He knew that his "stalking" behavior was abominable.
"The Northwest War is related to the safety of the imperial court. It only involves the impeachment of Wang Pei'an. It also involves the father of the royal palace's selection of servants. This matter is important... I think it should be discussed by the cabinet!"
"Mr. Zheng Ge...why do you think so?"
After pondering for a while and weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Zhiqing returned to his indifferent smile and said: "Brother Chen said...you must be old to seek the country!"
Chen Jinyun also laughed, and the two picked up the teacups and sipped the fragrant tea together.
Since it is a public cabinet meeting, we have to invite the chief minister, Zhao Yushan, who is on vacation today.
The fact that Zhao Yushan was brought in to cause a cabinet discussion was tantamount to making the matter bigger.
If Chen Jinyun does this alone, he will bear too much responsibility, so he wants to take Zheng Zhiqing with him.
And if they decide to have a public discussion, then no one will have to take responsibility. After all, this matter does have too much to do with it.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yushan came to the cabinet and also read the memorial from the Military Department to Zhai Yongxian who was involved in the incident.
Zhao Yushan is also a veteran of Jianghu, so he naturally understands the intention of the two people in front of him to call him here.
He is a practical person and has to be more responsible than Chen and Zheng.
So after reading it, he glanced at Chen and Zheng, and then started writing: "This case is planned to be forwarded to the Gansu Procuratorate for investigation!"
Lifting up his pen, Zhao Yushan said: "You two...sign it!"
Chen Zheng originally wanted to make Zhao Yushan get into trouble and be forced to sign a strictly scrutinized bill, and then make him offend the emperor and the emperor. Zhu Jinghong.
Seeing Zhao Yushan drawing up the votes so straightforwardly, Chen Zheng and Chen Zheng were stunned. Then the two men quickly stepped forward to see what was written on the cabinet votes.
While lamenting that Zhao Yushan had no lower limit, Chen and Zheng had to think about another question, how to end this matter.
Is it really possible for Gansu Province to investigate? If we really do this, this matter may end up being nothing.
But now Zhao Yushan is the chief assistant. Since he has given his opinions on the draft, Chen and Zheng can only follow and sign.
Because if they come out to accuse, they will be criticized
"If Mr. Range signed it, so will I! "
After Chen Jinyun answered, he started writing on the cabinet ticket.
" Seconded...Chen Jinyun! ”
Chen Jinyun wrote five words, and the word “secondary proposal” was the most subtle, highlighting that Zhao Yushan was drafting the vote.
Of course Zheng Zhiqing followed suit and signed it too
With a slight smile, Zhao Yushan replied: "Become the Supervisor of Ceremonies! ”
Ever since, the matter seemed to have been settled, but the three people present knew that it would not end so easily.
The promissory note was to be sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, who was on duty. Eunuch Dai Quan knew that the relationship was important, so he walked the memorial to Zhu Xianming.
After taking a look at it, Zhu Xianming ordered Dai Quan to approve the red seal and directly transfer the memorial to the Sixth Section for issuance. It was said that he would be transferred to the Criminal Department, and then to the Gansu Prosecution Department.
But when he arrived at the Criminal Department, he was dismissed from the Provincial Department of Ceremony without any surprise, and then things became very embarrassing.
Soon, the contents of the bullets and the cabinet vote spread among officials. In the afternoon, dozens of memorials were sent to the General Affairs Department, impeaching the cabinet for cover-up and connivance.
The focus of the impeachment was. Zhao Yushan himself.
At the same time, the impeachment of Wang Pei'an also continued, and for a while, Zhao Yushan and Wang Pei'an were pushed to the forefront.
In addition, there were rumors before. Zhu Jinghong wanted to support his troops and respect himself, so he brought Zhao Yushan and Wang Peian in, and a gang that controlled military and political power was formed.
But these memorials were all retained by the emperor, but they were even more important. Arousing everyone's anger.
The government and the public have been bitter about Zhu and Zhao for a long time, and a larger-scale storm is brewing.
News about impeachment spread in the afternoon. Arriving at Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Baochai was already in a heavy mood because of the rumors during this period. She had just adjusted her mood in the morning, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again.
But she had just adjusted her mood. She quickly accepted the reality, because after Zhu Jinghong left, she was ready to respond at any time.
In the Tongxin Palace, she summoned the two chief eunuchs of the palace.
" Deng An, go to Beicheng Qianhu Office and find Chen Yuntai... Let him try to find out who is behind this! "
"Yes! "
"Zhang Ping'an, go to the Wang family and ask the question clearly. What's going on with Qin Ye? "
"Yes! ”
This is called preparation with both hands. You must not only find out the person who caused the trouble, but also find out the real situation.
After the two people left, Baochai returned to the desk , she started writing on the letter paper.
There was a big change in the court, so she naturally wanted to inform Zhu Jinghong.
Unexpectedly, before she finished writing, something happened outside. There were voices, and even cries.
“Who’s outside? "
After a few breaths, Wen Xing came to report: "Replying to your Majesty, Qin Xuan is here and wants to apologize to your Majesty! ”
SighedAngry, Baochai wanted Ke Qing to go back, but thought that doing so would make her worry, so she asked Wen Xing to invite people in.
After a while, Keqing entered the inner hall and knelt down in front of Baochai with tears in his eyes.
"Princess, because of my father, I got into trouble for the palace... Please punish me!"
Sighing, Baochai said: "I didn't add any trouble. It's your fault, why bother asking for trouble!"
Ke Qing continued: "I know that the princess is magnanimous, but since I have committed a crime, I should take the initiative to plead guilty and accept punishment, how can I sit still and wait. The disaster is catastrophic!"
Looking at his number one supporter in the palace, Baochai stood up and walked to Ke Qing, bending down to help her up. < /p>
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping away Keqing's tears, Baochai spoke in a calm tone and said with a smile: "Stop crying... Go back first, don't take this matter to heart!"
"But..."
Keqing wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Baochai: "It's nothing but, if you delay my business here, then you are really guilty!"
"I don't dare!"
After saying this, Ke Qing carefully exited the hall. At this time, Daiyu and Yang Jingting were waiting outside.
"What did the princess say?" Yang Jingting asked.
"Princess, let me feel at ease and don't have to worry about this moment!"
Yang Jingting nodded and replied: "Let me just say...this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it!" Worry!"
"Well!"
At this time, Daiyu interrupted: "Sister Qing, please go back first, don't let the child wait for you!"
< p>Knowing that these two people had something to do when they entered the palace, Qing did not dare to delay casually, so he bowed to the two concubines and left.Then the two of them asked someone to report, and soon Wen Xing came out to invite them.
"Please, ladies and gentlemen!"
The two of them entered the palace. At this time, Baochai had arrived in the living room and had ordered tea to be served.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jingting said with a smile: "The princess is not surprised at all changes, so I will feel at ease!"
Looking up at her, Baochai smiled: "The matter is over If it happens, the soldiers will cover it up with water and earth, and they won’t care about other things!"
Siting on the chair on the left, Yang Jingting replied: "The Qing Dynasty will be Qing Qing, our palace is open and aboveboard, there is no need to fear outsiders! Chew your tongue!"
Daiyu sat on the right side. She picked up the tea cup and didn't speak in a hurry.
"That's the truth!"
Yang Jingting continued: "Princess, how about tomorrow... I go and talk to my aunt about this matter, and let her plead guilty for us! "
"This..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Baochai put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Let's talk about it in a few days, we haven't reached that stage yet!"< /p>
ThisShi Baochai looked at Daiyu and asked, "Why didn't Sister Lin say a word?"
Daiyu replied, "Seeing that Sister Bao was at ease, she knew that the matter was under control. There’s nothing left to say!”
Baochai laughed and said, “You’re good at hiding!”
