queen drama

Zhao Zheng took out the paper, wrote six parts in turn, and then took out the punishment department alone and put it aside.

The young master is about to enter the imperial court, and Zhao Zheng wanted him to pick it himself. Among the six departments, Zhao Jun is already in the punishment department, so there is no shortage of confidantes.

The young master contemplated for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, where is the most lack of people?"

"All are missing." Zhao Zheng said, "Although Zhao Tingyan has lost his official position, there are still many people who support him in the court. In the past, there were six chiefs, and Zhao Tingyan was in charge of many things. Now, everything, big or small, is all piled up here. The chiefs of the six ministries manage a lot."

Zhao Zheng casually took out a copy from the pile of memorials, glanced at it and said, "For example, the assessment of the ninth-rank magistrate actually reported to me, and if I want to make a decision, is it possible that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is just for nothing?"

A minister is not ignorant of his responsibilities. Prince Jane has been in charge of the six departments for many years. If he had to deal with such sesame and mung beans every day, he would have been exhausted. of.

Meng Xuanyun thought of a possibility: "Could it be that they...Prince Jane are putting pressure on the emperor?"

"Exactly." Zhao Zheng snorted coldly, "They want to force me to use Zhao Tingyan again."

Although Zhao Tingyan was somewhat disrespectful to the emperor, he did not show his flaws easily in political affairs. It was rare for his son to be dismissed because of cheating in scientific examinations. Zhao Zheng would never let him be reinstated.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials doesn't even know how to deal with such trivial matters. If I ask for instructions, I don't think he should be a minister at all."

Zhao Zheng had always had a good impression on the ministers. Even when Prince Jane was impeached, he acted as helpless and helpless. The courtiers thought that the emperor would not tear himself apart easily when he first came to the throne. It's a secret embarrassment, and I won't bother with them.Unexpectedly, the emperor planned to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was that unlucky chicken.

The memorial was finally sent to Yushitai, and a few days later there was another bloodbath. After Prince Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also lost his position. Duty, the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, Shang Shu broke out in a cold sweat, and simply pretended to pass out because of his age.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought he could escape the catastrophe, and suddenly an angry young censor rushed out, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Farmers raise chickens and dogs, and they can still lay eggs to take care of the house, but Lord Shangshu is in his place. If you don't plan for politics, you are worse than a chicken or a dog, what use does the emperor want you for?"

This censor was the one who took Prince Jane down from power in the first place.The number one scholar in this subject used to rely on being honest and honest, but now he has been worn out by Mr. Mu, and he just opens his mouth to curse.The civil servants did not use any dirty words when they cursed, but they used all kinds of tricks and words to criticize their hearts. The minister of the official department was pretending to be dizzy, but he actually spit out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with Gou Yushi's performance, and he put on a show to dismiss him, saying: "Since the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not feeling well, then go down to rest and get a diagnosis and treatment. I will find someone to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." gone."

In the end, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was carried down. Several ministers who had done the same thing as him were out of their minds. Prince Jian instructed them to unite to embarrass the emperor. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was just following the plan. Let's make a start, a Shangshu, the emperor actually said that he would be exempt...

It was only then that the ministers remembered that it was the same situation when Prince Jian asked to resign.The emperor is so easy to talk, he just waits for them to hand over their shortcomings so that they can clean up one by one, right?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been carried away, who is next?I used to think that Prince Jane was extremely powerful, but the imperial palace was already the emperor's domain, and the emperor in the court also had the support of Prince Shen and others. Prince Shen's lineage could not compete with Prince Jane, but now Prince Shen's son, Zhao Jun, has gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Punishment At the heel, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will soon be replaced. In contrast, Prince Jian has lost his position as the chief of the six ministries, and it is not known when he will be able to return to the court.

There is also the crucial military power. During the reign of the first emperor, the princes committed rebellion, why didn't they succeed?Because military power was always in the hands of the first emperor.Although the generals holding heavy troops have not yet been replaced by the emperor, they are all pure ministers of the late emperor, and they are loyal to the late emperor. Between the emperor and Prince Jane, who will they help?

The answer couldn't be more obvious, because the emperor was the heir apparent chosen by the first emperor himself.

The ministers who wanted Prince Jane to return to the court were a little shaken. After all, this world is the emperor's world. Will they really benefit from working so hard for Prince Jane in the future?

As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the emperor ordered the two ministers on the left and right to act together temporarily. It is obvious that one of them must be selected for use. The emperor's handling is reasonable. If you don't go on Yangguan Road, should you continue to walk on the single-plank bridge?

All the ministers were in a state of agitation. Zhao Zheng wanted to make them panic first. Killing chickens and monkeys was so effective that on the second day, the trivial memorials in the dragon case were gone. It's stupid.

Removing a minister is not a trivial matter. This time, Prince Jian clearly felt the pressure from the emperor. He had underestimated the emperor before, and he could not sit still. Asking the courtiers to put pressure on him was not easy. Zhao Tingyan went to pay a visit to several respected people overnight His family members even asked his birth mother, Concubine Gui, to go to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Zheng was aware of Zhao Tingyan's actions, and laughed it off. The Empress Dowager was already a frightened bird, and she was incompetent and would never dare to help Prince Jian. If the clansmen pleaded in the name of the former emperor, it might be difficult, but he also has a way to solve it. , right now, what is more important to him is that Lord Meng Xiaohou enters the court.

The young master couldn't pick out the paper with five parts written on it, so he crumpled it into five paper balls to draw lots, and the one drawn out was the household department.

Zhao Zheng said: "You have won a difficult problem. When the late emperor was here, many courtiers borrowed money from the state treasury. The amount was huge, but they have not yet repaid it. If you want to share my worries, then go to the Ministry of Households to help me collect the money."

Since ancient times, it has been easy to owe debts and difficult to repay.The first emperor turned a blind eye to these old officials, and when he arrived at Zhao Zheng's place, the household department cried for money if he would not return, and those who owed money always spoke for Prince Jane, which seemed to be a bit of a slap in the face.

Meng Xuanyun understood: "What's the difficulty? To deal with this kind of people, I ask them whether they want officials or money, money or life."

"You want to pretend to be a bandit? There are too few people alone." Zhao Zheng smiled, "I will send you more people to support you. This gang of scoundrels should make them suffer."

When Prince Jian was moving around, the emperor issued an imperial decree ordering Xiaoyaohou's son to run a business in the household department.Lord Meng Xiaohou had a bad reputation and was questioned by most people. The emperor, who almost never quarreled with ministers, tried his best to put Meng Xuanyun in the household department.

Young Lord Hou was dressed in a military uniform with a knife on his shoulder, and led a large group of people out of the palace arrogantly.

Get out of the way, I'm going to collect debts for the emperor!
