7. Xuanzheng Yahui
When Yun Shao heard that her husband was going to impeach the person, but there were still three, he couldn't help but be excited and worried. When he was tidying up his husband's belt, he hugged Gao Yue foolishly from behind.
Gao Yue turned around, pinched his wife's soft and fleshy face, and said warmly, "Don't worry, my uncle and father-in-law are on my side."
Yun Shao walked out of the hall, took a torch, followed Gao Yue's road and rushed to the courtyard, and then returned to his room and went to sleep again.
In the corner room next to it, through the window, the clouds on the couch were so irritated by the fire and noise that they couldn't sleep. So they stood up halfway, dripped their hair, and quietly watched their father and brother-in-law go out.
It was the hot summer season. Although there was a cool morning breeze on the street, the stuffy air was still flowing. Gao Yue rode his horse and was led by the servants of Cui's mansion. He followed Cui Kuan's horse, and the two of them went toward the Daming Palace in the East.
At the fifth hour, it was already dawn. On both sides of the southern wall of the Daming Palace, the civil and military officials who often gathered were crowded with officials and people were like boiling water. Everyone was waiting for the city gate to open, which was to "wait for leaks".
Senior officials were waiting in the idle car shop in Taipu Temple in Guangzhaifang. You all saw that Chang Gun, the assistant minister who had just excluded Cui Youfu, looked particularly proud.
In fact, Chang Gun's abacus was very loud:
Previously, he introduced Yan Zhenqing to the court, first let Yan be the Minister of Justice, and then let him be the Minister of Personnel, and sent Liu Yan to the position of the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, and seized his power to Zhisanquan. Now he has squeezed out Li Mi and Cui Youfu, who posed a threat to his position, and has such great power.
Now the new emperor obeys himself. He persuades the mourning for 27 days, and then the 27th day. He tells Cui Youfu to get out of here and then Cui will get out of here immediately.
All these things will really make you laugh!
The drums rumbling, Jianfu, Wangxianmen turned and opened, several censors walked out, and shouted loudly, "All officials are in charge!" Then the lieutenant of the sect was surrounded by Yu Jiren Yiwei, holding the sect's books and calling out one by one.
"The Censor Lixing, Gao Yue."
"At." Gao Yue replied at the end of the civil service shift.
Then all the civil and military officials followed the winding and rising Longwei ramp to Tongqian in front of Hanyuan Hall, and set up in front of Xiangyuan Gate, with civil and military officials shifts in front and military officials shifts in back.
So Gao Yue turned around and happened to see the first place in the military officer squad, Guo Ziyi, the King of Fenyang.
The Tang Dynasty stipulated that the regular officials of civil servants would attend court meetings as long as they were a single day per month; but military officers were different. Military officers of the fifth rank participated in court meetings in total for four days, five, eleven, twenty-fifth, and twenty-fiveth, and military officers of the third rank would have three more days, namely nine, nineteen and twenty-nine days, and the court meetings would be seven days per month.
Today is the 19th day of the leap May, and the military officers are all third-rank officials... Guo Ziyi is still the first, and behind him is Li Zhongchen, who has just been expelled into the court... Guo Ziyi, whose beards are all white, blinks at him mischievously when he sees Gao Yue.
The Censor of the Hall, standing on both sides of the bell tower and the drum tower, was constantly looking here. Gao Yue was afraid that he would always turn around and would summon the palace to impeach him first, so he no longer looked at Guo Ziyi, but stood up straight, closed his eyes, and kept practicing the operation procedures in his heart.
Then the promotion to the hall began. The civil servants came from the East Xuanzheng Sect and the military officers entered each of them from the West Xuanzheng Sect and followed the long pavilion road to the main yamen "Xuanzheng Hall".
Finally, in the Xuanzheng Hall, officials from the two provinces under the Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Central Committee stood in front of the incense case, while other civil officials were on the east side of the palace and military officials were on the west side of the palace. They each stood in shifts according to the ranks, and each shift was headed by officials from the Shangshu Province. Under the left and right helmsman, with famous pens, were responsible for the court records.
Because Guo Ziyi was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he also joined Chang Gun, Liu Yan and others in front of the incense table.
Soon Emperor Li Shi came out of Xixu Gate, and the imperial fan closed and covered his face. Until he sat on the imperial throne, he opened the imperial fan and the emperor's face appeared in front of all officials with the shouts of "opening the fan" and "peace of civil and military left and right wings".
"Ascend to the palace!" At this time, all the civil and military officials holding tablets sat down in their respective seats in batches, and the next step was the "official yamen report" process.
In fact, the Li Yu Dynasty of Daizong rarely held official yamen in Xuanzheng Hall. If there were any matters, they would discuss with the prime minister and the important officials in Zichen Hall, or hold a "Yanying summons" and Li Shi had just ascended the Grand Priesthood, so the regular dynasty system of Xuanzheng Hall was restored.
In addition, the Xuanzheng Hall of the Tang Dynasty often celebrated the imperial court, and all civil and military officials sat on the table, meaning "sitting and discussing the truth". This system was abolished in the early Northern Song Dynasty. One day, when the prime minister Fan Zhi sat and talked about things, Zhao Kuangyin said, "My eyes are blurred, my dear, come to show me the letter." Fan Zhi had just presented the article, but when he came back, he found that the seat had been quietly withdrawn by the eunuchs. From then on, officials in the Northern Song Dynasty could only stand when they went to court.
"All officials reported the matter." Li Shi said, looking at the densely packed civil and military officials in the hall.
Yan Zhenqing was the first to report the report. This person was fat and walked with great strength. He saw him leave the seat and leave work, standing in the center, holding a tablet in his hand, and said that the guest court of the Right Yintai Gate was originally used to accommodate foreign envoys, write to talk about the affairs, and wait for the appointment. However, in the Daizong era, these people were not properly punished for years. Many of them actually stayed in the guest court for ten years. In addition, their slaves and animals were paid to the court every month for money to provide for them, which was a huge waste.
"You can send the palace censor to deal with it. The detainees are released without guilt, and the matter is settled and sent away. The officials should be appointed to a suitable official position. If they are not allowed to be sent back, they will continue to be elected." Li Shi on the imperial throne spoke clearly and was organized rigorously.
Then he asked the prime minister Chang Gun in front of the incense case if the Tomb Prison agrees.
"What Yan Li Shang said is very fair, Your Majesty's punishment is appropriate, and the country's blessing is." Chang Gun replied immediately.
Then Yan Zhenqing reported the second incident. He was excited and criticized the Uighurs and Sogdians in Beijing for violating the ban and wearing Chinese clothes to disguise the Tang people. Thousands of people stayed in the capital. The Uighurs came from Honglu Temple every month, and the Hushang received money and grain from Chang'an every month. The monthly fee was as high as 40,000 yuan. The Hushang took the opportunity to mow the walls of the city, break the rules, run the markets and houses, and collect American profits. He became increasingly arrogant and even killed people and robbed people. The bad deeds of my Tang woman had been repeatedly ineffective before. Now, please make up your mind to send the Uighurs and the Sogdians back to their country.
After hearing this, Li Shi sincerely sought the opinions of Prime Minister Chang Gun again.
Chang Gun walked out slowly, and his opinion on this matter was: "Yan Li still saw that the harm of the Uighurs was not as good as the Emperor Daxing was, and he knew that although the Uighurs were like beasts, there were still some available points."
Li Shi on the imperial throne heard Chang Gun's words and grabbed the armrest of the imperial throne with his hand, but he still remained silent on the surface, just a faint sentence, "Oh?"
