Chapter 55: Duke Danbo

Chapter 55: Mr. Dan Bo

The decree was made, and the ministers were in an uproar. Although the leaders of various departments did not change their positions, there were more young officials around them, which made the ministers feel a little panic. Who knew when His Majesty would lift the young officials up and defeat them like them.

Grand Secretary Shu frowned and argued with His Majesty for a few words, believing that such a large-scale appointment of officials had not been discussed by the court, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Supervision Bureau had not been reviewed in advance. However, the emperor's determination today was that he did not even give him his face. He refuted it lightly, and this imperial edict became a foregone conclusion.

Blood exchange has become inevitable. Qin Heng was transferred to the Privy Council. His rank seemed to have increased, but in fact he was away from the key garrison in Kyoto. He was a little surprised, but had to leave the list to thank him.

In addition, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Qu Xiangdong and others, had no choice but to accept this proposal. Your Majesty did not investigate the sniping in the valley, otherwise the military would have to pay more.

But the military generals looked more and more angry when they looked at Fan Xian's eyes.

Everyone knows that in the civil and military systems, His Majesty adjusted the Privy Council and the Kyoto garrison to support Fan Xian and vent his anger for Fan Xian's sniping in the valley. As for the fact that there will be other follow-up measures after the scattering of the court, we must quietly look forward to it, but the military's life will not be very easy.

Among the civil servants, the number of officials who were removed was the largest, and they were basically officials close to the second prince. What was particularly shocking is that judging from the appearance, the thirty-two officials arrested by Fan Xian last night seemed to have no chance to come out again...

Fan Xian listened to the decree carefully. The decree was obviously prepared by the emperor last night. After listening for a long time, he was a little surprised that he did not hear Yan Bingyun's name. But then he thought about it. Even if the emperor wanted to use Yan Bingyun, he would not be able to transfer him to another department. Not to mention that this was a violation of Qinglu and the rules of the Supervision Bureau. At least the emperor wanted to use Yan Bingyun and always gave Chen Pingping some face.

As for the promotion of Mr. Xiaoyan, there is no possibility. If Mr. Xiaoyan is promoted again, he has to resist Fan Xian's stern, and Fan Xian shook his head. He thought to himself that unless the emperor was ready to expel the Supervision Office, how could he do such a thing?

However, Fan Xian was surprised to hear Cheng Jialin's name!

He turned his head slightly, resisted the urge to look at the middle-aged man on the dragon throne, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. Jialin was his disciple, and now he was a remote official, why did he fall into the eyes of the emperor? And he was... entering the Ministry of Personnel? The ministry that he had never been able to intervene... was promoted two levels at once, and the speed of promotion was too fast.

When the ministers of the court heard Cheng Jialin's name, they were also a little shocked. As we all know, this person was one of the four sons of the Fan clan. He had only been in office for two years, so why did he have to be transferred back to the important place of Kyoto? Everyone looked at Fan Xian one after another, and his eyes were a little wary.

Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable. The emperor gave him this favor. According to that guy's habit, after giving him a sweet date, he would have a stick. But he didn't know where the stick would fall.

"...Shen Chongwen has been transferred to the Censorate of the Censorate, and ordered the Left Censor He Zongwei to also look at the affairs of the Supervision Bureau, to assist Fan Xian in acting and be responsible to the inner court."

The stick comes so fast!

Fan Xian raised his head suddenly, and two faint lights flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the young man who was out of the list of thanks. The Zuodu Censor entered the palace? Although the Supervision Bureau has been nominally regulated by the inner court, the royal family of Qing Kingdom has always strictly prohibited eunuchs from taking power, and Chen Pingping was too powerful. Therefore, if the Supervision Bureau and others are an independent kingdom.

But... letting the Zuodu Censor stare at the Supervisory Office and report to the inner court at the same time is equivalent to letting the Supervisory Office be directly under the gaze of the palace.

Fan Xian's back was a little chilled, and the fingers on his right hand were trembling. He knew that because of his identity, the emperor would definitely not trust him as much as he trusted Chen Pingping, but he did not expect that the emperor would be so cruel. Before the matter was far from over, he took the lead in putting a head rope on himself, and his head hurt so much!

Who is He Zongwei? He was a talented man in Kyoto who was as famous as his disciple Hou Jichang at that time. His younger sister Ruoruo first came under the prince's side and then surrendered to the eldest princess. Now he has become a disciple of the emperor. He has been directly promoted to the court to serve as the censor without going through the imperial examination. He was appointed as the censor of the Left Capital for his merits and is responsible for investigating the case of the Ministry of Revenue...

Not counting Fan Xian, He Zongwei is definitely the most popular figure in the Qing Dynasty court in the past two years.

And it is such a person who is extremely disgusting to be the emperor's eyes watching the inspector's office. Fan Xian became angry for no reason and was extremely angry.

"His Majesty!"

Fan Xian stepped out of the line, stood beside He Zongwei, and said in a deep voice to the man on the dragon throne: "I have objections!"

He Zongwei looked at Fan Xian beside him gently. Although he felt extremely angry from the bottom of his heart whenever he thought of being beaten by the other party in Fan's mansion, he still covered it up very well, and a trace of strangeness and admiration appeared just right in his eyes, as if he was expressing his emotions to the ministers in the palace - he admired the little Lord Fan for his dad to confront the emperor in person.

The palace was already full of an uproar. The emperor had his orders and the ministers accepted it. Except for an old guy like Shu Wu who dared to contradict the emperor in person, no one dared to directly express his objections and resentment in the appointment of officials.

The emperor frowned and said, "What are your objections?"

Fan Xian raised his head and said expressionlessly: "The Supervisory Office does not need a censor to point fingers."

"Bold!" The emperor slapped the dragon throne and said furiously: "The law enforcement is with you, the censor is behind you, and the country is clear and the law is clear. I have decided, so how can you, a little guy, be too much."

Fan Xian was furious and knew that he could not retreat today, otherwise the Supervision Bureau would really be defeated by him, so why did he explain to the woman and the old lame man in Chen Yuan?

He kept his body straight and said directly: "You dare to ask Your Majesty, the Supervisory Court is responsible for supervising officials and the Supervisory Court of the Inner Court. Suddenly, there is an additional censor. If the censor is corrupt and abused the law, the court will investigate. Or not? If it is to investigate, how should it be investigated?"

The ministers were upset, and the emperor sneered instead and said, "You are ignorant of your wisdom for a lifetime, but you are pretending to be confused here, and go back."

He Zongwei also pretended to persuade Fan Xian for a few words, but Fan Xian was too lazy to look at him directly, and did not retreat. His eyes rolled a few times and suddenly said loudly: "I object!"

This is a bit over the boundary. The emperor decides what he wants to oppose a minister. This is not a lawsuit in court. Fan Xian, you are not Song Shiren, and the emperor is not a little prefect.

The emperor was so angry that his beard was shaking under his jaw. He pointed at Fan Xian's nose from a high place and cursed: "I want to see, how can you object?"

Fan Xian made up his mind and said, "I naturally dare not resist the order. I am just a supervisory authority. The president is still staying in Chenyuan. Logically speaking, this order is not a turn for me to discuss it. But today, the supervisory authority in the palace is headed by me. I have a problem with accepting it. If I don't accept it, there are problems. If I don't accept it, I will look at it... I have to resign from the supervisory authority. Your Majesty directly issued an order to the supervisory authority. This is the best."

Resigned from the Supervisory Office?

Resignation?

The ministers were in a big uproar and did not understand how the current situation at today's dynasty meeting was turned into. I originally thought that His Majesty was using the hands of the Supervisory Office to deal with the court, but why did he finally bully Lord Xiao Fan? However, Lord Xiao Fan is indeed a generation of poetic immortals, and his arrogance is indeed beyond ordinary people. He actually... dared... to threaten his resignation at the dynasty meeting and did not accept the order!

Such a courageous attitude has never been seen by these ministers since the founding of the Qing Kingdom. For a moment, the palace started to talk and turned to the middle of Fan Xian's eyes, besides the fear of the original place, there was a little ridiculousness and admiration.

Grand Secretary Shu and Grand Secretary Hu couldn't stand it anymore and went out one after another. One pretended to be a black face and the other pretended to be a red face. Shu Wu scolded Fan Xian in the first place. He said that he did not know the duty of his ministers and spoke nonsense, but Grand Secretary Hu comforted Fan Xian in harmony and explained the decree in detail for His Majesty.

Anyway, Fan Xian just stood up straight, refusing to accept the order or refusing to do anything.

The scene looks like a kindergarten student with a lack of fruit on the lunch plate, who is being deceived by two teachers.

The two great scholars Shu Hu then turned around and apologized to the emperor for Fan Xian, saying that how young Mr. Fan was so young? They guessed in their hearts that the emperor rarely encountered such a big nail at the court meeting, and they were afraid he was almost angry.

On the dragon throne, the emperor smiled angrily, his eyes shone with cold light, and he said coldly: "Fan Xian, are you going to threaten me by resigning from office?"

"I dare not."

"Okay, okay." The emperor said three good words in a row, and said Youyou: "You rely on my love for you, and you think I dare not punish you... If you want to resign, I will..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Fan Xian was moved to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am willing to go back to the Imperial Academy to teach."

The emperor was so quick that he responded to his bad habits, and said furiously: "I won't let you quit!"

The hall was in silence after shock. No one expected that he could see such a wonderful scene at the dynasty meeting today. Everyone knew that His Majesty's favor for Fan Xian had not been reduced at all, and I was afraid that there would be no substantial punishment for Fan Xian, but I didn't know how to break the deadlock.

The ministers even more did not understand why Fan Xian was so angry and impulsive about the Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censorship. If it was to maintain the power of the Censor's Censorship, with Fan Xian's methods, there would be some tricks in the future, not to mention that there was an ancestor in the Supervision Bureau that had not taken action.

It was obvious that the emperor didn't know what Fan Xian was thinking. He frowned and said to Fan Xian: "Get out here!"

Fan Xian didn't get out, and ran over happily, approached under the dragon chaise, with a stubborn and ruthless face.

The emperor lowered his voice and asked, "Do you accept the order?"

"Don't answer."

The emperor frowned and said, "Why?"

Fan Xian said directly: "I don't like He Zongwei."

The emperor was furious and said, "Last night, you made the court lose face. Do you still want me to have no face today? Return it to me!"

Fan Xian sighed and retreated.

Eunuch Yao was standing aside with a bitter face, holding the whisk, holding back the laughter, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fan Xian retreated back to the hall, and the ministers on both sides looked at him with strange eyes. At the dynasty meeting, he actually whispered to His Majesty. This kind of favor... is really... cough cough.

The emperor no longer gave Fan Xian any chance to speak, and ignored whether he would accept the order or not, and nodded directly to Eunuch Yao. Eunuch Yao immediately shouted in a duck voice different from Eunuch Dai Yutiao's accent: "Fan Xian, the full authority of the Jiangnan Road, come forward to listen to the order."

Fan Xian was stunned, raised his front and knelt down.

The decree slowly said that he did not mention the matter of the Censor's entry into the Supervisory Office, but rather listed the things Fan Xian did in Jiangnan this year, especially focusing on the Transportation Department of the Internal Treasury, commending Fan Xian's contribution to the treasury, and also making a note of Fan Xian's assistance to Governor Xue Qing to investigate the administration of Jiangnan, and then some were lost.

The emperor spoke in the middle and said, "I think Fan Xian is loyal to the country and should be rewarded with great importance."

The ministers were silent. Although everyone did not like Fan Xian's rewards again, the more than 10 million taels of silver transported back to Kyoto in the inner treasury was real. Such a large amount of credit was really worthy of the enemy's military merits. If the reward was not heavy, the court really didn't know how to explain it to the people of the world.

Xue Qing left the list at this time and made some additions to Fan Xian's affairs in Jiangnan, full of praise. Grand Secretary Hu also believed that he should be rewarded with great importance to Mr. Fan.

The old guy Shu Wu turned his eyes a few times, looked at Fan Xian again, and finally couldn't help but leave and said, "Your Majesty... Half a year ago, the Secretary of the Sect had a discussion. With his reputation, knowledge and achievements, it was enough to enter the Secretary of the Sect. However, the Chief Officer of the Supervision Yuan has never been allowed to serve as a court official again. The court made an example in the front, but the Secretary of the Supervision Yuan had intentionally resigned from the Secretary of the Supervision Yuan before..."

The emperor coughed twice.

Grand Secretary Hu couldn't help but look at Shu Wu with a strange look, thinking that the old man was indeed persistent. He knew that His Majesty could not allow Fan Xian to enter the cabinet, and even more so that he could not let Fan Xian leave the Supervisory Office, but he still had the idea that the two of them thought half a year ago.

But Shu Wu had already spoken, so he had to express the same wish and was willing to recommend Fan Xian to the cabinet.

Fan Xian had heard of this in the court newspaper in the past, but today he met with him with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that he was only twenty years old but wanted to enter the cabinet, which was a bit ridiculous.

As expected, the emperor still refused and just asked Eunuch Yao to finish the order. After listening to the order, Fan Xian was stunned and remembered to thank him for a while. He thought that being a Grand Secretary was indeed ridiculous, but the reward given by the emperor was also ridiculous enough.

Duke Danbo!
