Guo Shao still works in the East Hall of Jinxiang Hall, and he reviews memorials every day.
Memorials were the main contact information between the emperor and ministers, the center and the local government at this time. In Guo Shao's opinion, it was a bit like the email system of a company in later generations; of course, memorials were much more efficient.
After returning to Tokyo, he maintained a regular activity. He held a ceremony at Jinxiang Hall on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and met with officials above the fifth rank in Beijing. As long as it was an office day, he would almost meet with more than a dozen of the most important civil and military officials in the East Hall in the morning; then handle memorials on weekdays or summon ministers to discuss matters.
These activities have their practical functions.
The ministers may have selfishness and cliches, which will cause some unfairness; but the emperor will not have too much selfishness in theory. The country belongs to the emperor, and the emperor is unwilling to destroy his own position.
It is easy for ministers to see the emperor and the officials of the capital to attend court every month, so they gave them a passage. If the conflict is too intense, there can be a way to let the emperor know and let the emperor uphold justice... This is probably called smooth speech, but in fact it is very simple to do it.
Therefore, Guo Shao did not think that he did a good job in etiquette and other aspects, but he considered himself a qualified emperor.
But he was not always in a public mind, and now he was almost influenced by anger!The person he was dissatisfied with was Fan Zhi.
Guo Shaoqing knows that it is not a good thing to deal with things based on subjective emotions, so he rarely employs people based on his own likes and dislikes.But this time he really had the urge to kill Fanzhi!
Damn it, he didn’t win the country. I will let anyone who wants to take power!
Even the Privy Councilor Wang Pu was not very troubled, Fan Zhi came out and jumped around!
I hate people who seem loyal and gentlemanly the most, but they are actually specialized in doing things and are extremely stubborn.
What real benefits does that guy come out to stir up the storm and waves have to the court?
Before, in the meeting hall, Guo Shao wanted to ask the guards to drag Fan Zhi out and chop him up!
Fortunately, Guo Shao is still a little rational. He understands that he can't do that, and even scolds Shi Yanchao for protecting Fan Zhi's face... This is not Guo Shao's personal wish.
Because Fan Zhi was the prime minister in the previous dynasty, and any attitude of the emperor towards him would make many officials calm down; while most of the civil officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty were old ministers of the previous dynasty, Guo Shao had to pay attention to his influence.
Furthermore, Fan Zhi is now the prime minister of this dynasty. Guo Shao instigated his prime minister to be humiliated, which was destroying the authority of the court.
So he felt relieved to Shi Yanchao scolding Fan Zhi, but he expressed another attitude in a verbal way.
...At this time, Shi Yanchao's memorial had arrived at the East Palace and was in front of Zuo You.
Zuo You and Huang Binglian were responsible for reading the content of the memorial, and then summarized the concise outline and wrote it on the yellow note and posted it on the cover of the memorial.
So usually, the cabinet's auxiliary government will see the content of the memorial before the emperor.
Zuo You saw the content of the secret telling him in the memorial, and the feeling was really unspeakable.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the memorial.
He ran to Luo Yanhuan's house to drink last night, and he, Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun were alone. Who knows what he said in private?
Most people did not express their attitude to Fan Zhi's memorial this morning, but Zuo You supported Fan Zhi's proposal... That would have to be guessed. Zuo You discussed something with Li Chuyun, and then Zuo You was talking to Li Chuyun this morning.
And why did Li Chuyun support Fan Zhi?
If Empress Duanci is in power, she can affect the power and status of the Fu family.
If Li Chuyun intends to help the prince his daughter gave birth to, then he will definitely not be the same as the Fu family, and of course he does not want to see the Fu family continue to grow up.
If you want to be more deeply, you can also suspect that Li Chuyun, Fan Zhi and Zuo You are colluding with civil and military officials and forming cliques!
Zuo You was feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles for a moment, and turned to look at Huang Binglian.Huang Binglian held the pen with his pen in a squinted manner and was writing something as if nothing had happened... The entire Dongdian study was very quiet, as quiet as dead!
Zuo You really wanted to tear this memorial at this time!
However, he understood that it was not effective at all.
Even if Huang Binglian didn't see it, the memorials were first classified and numbered through the Privy Council (after Fu Jinzhan took office on the west side of Jinxiang Hall, all memorials must be classified and then sent to the east and west halls respectively).
Moreover, Shi Yanchao can continue to write a book.
The dog days Shi Yanchao!Zuo You cursed in his heart.
Zuo You had no choice but to put Shi Yanchao's memorials in the pile, hoping that Guo Shao would not see it at that time... Guo Shao did not approve every memorial, and some things he didn't want to do would be marked and sent back to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, asking the ministers to deal with them as appropriate.
After the next half a day, Zuo You was in a trance and restless.It would be too difficult for him to have his current status and future. It would be too uncomfortable to have a gap with the emperor in such a broken matter.
...However, when Guo Shao looked through the yellow post on the memorial, he soon discovered Shi Yanchao's memorial.And he is very concerned because people like Shi Yanchao basically don’t write melodies.
When Guo Shao saw the content, he couldn't help but observe Zuo You from behind the screen. Through the thin silk face, Zuo You's face seemed pale.
At this moment, the sound of bells and drums outside Xuande Gate came, and the hour of You had arrived.
Guo Shao held the memorial in his hand and pondered for a moment, then stood up: After you finish your work today, you will pay the deposit by yourself.
Zuo You, Huang Binglian and others stood up and bowed to him and said: I respectfully send you your Majesty.
The eunuch sang: The emperor is on his way!
...Zuo You walked out of the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City with great worries. He couldn't help but look back at the majestic palace city in front of his carriage. He seemed to feel moved for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.
He got on the carriage, took out paper and pen from the carriage, licked the tip of the pen with his tongue, and wanted to write a letter to tell Li Chuyun what happened today.
But Zuo You picked up the pen and couldn't write it on the shaking carriage... If this matter was known again, wouldn't it be more confirmed that it was collusion?
There is a group of people in the Imperial City Department who secretly investigated the spies internally.I have never heard of Guo Shao instructing the Imperial City Department to monitor the internal ministers, and there should be no one.But I'm afraid of anything.
Zuo You never felt as worried as he is now.
He finally gave up and gave up telling Li Chuyun about his plan.Some things should be done nothing when you are not sure about them. This is probably what it should be.
……
On that day, Li Chuyun didn't know about Shi Yanchao's book, but he smelled the inexplicable breath of crisis.Maybe it is someone who has been fighting for many years. If you have no intuition about danger, it is difficult not to suffer a big loss.
When I got home, my clan brother Li Liangshi came to see Li Chuyun again.
Li Liangshi regarded himself as a resourceful Confucian scholar, and believed that Li Chuyun was a general in a strategic manner.
In fact, Li Chuyun rarely listened to this person's advice, but he just felt that his clan brother was quite smart, and at least he could remind himself in some negligent places.
The roads I have walked personally, the experiences and intuitions of ups and downs cannot be compared by saying the truth.
When Li Liangshi came in, he said: Unexpectedly, Fan Zhi was so unintentional that he helped the lord by mistake.Fan Zhi is the prime minister. Not to mention that he has a lot of gangs, he has at least a friendship with many people in the officialdom. When he came forward to talk about that matter (opposing Fu Jinzhan's long-term rule), the government had to carefully consider it.From the lord's words, the court should have wanted to do big things recently, and the officials also want the ministers below to do their best to help him implement the strategy. If they want to get the support of their ministers, they will definitely not be willing to do anything else at this time.
Li Chuyun said calmly: What do you want to say?
Li Liangshi said: I am here to congratulate you, and I feel that Empress Duanci can no longer continue to be in power.
Li Chuyun stroked his black and thick bearded man, shook his head, and pondered: Everyone in front of the palace is inspected...
Lord?Li Liangshi looked at him in confusion.
Li Chuyun was still paced back and forth, feeling a little restless.
In fact, Li Liangshi's advice was nothing wrong. Li Chuyun also wanted his grandson to be the crown prince, which was too great for the future of the Li family.However, the higher you are, the more you should not be careless.
If you can't even keep what you have already obtained, and then greed for more, what's the point?
He silently recited the word "Search in front of the palace" again. In addition to honor, he also felt that the chair was really hot!
The highest position in the ranks of generals is that they are inspected in front of the palace, and they are the most advanced generals in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
The position in the imperial guards is already the highest, with the sky above, there is no road, and there is only an abyss below the clouds.But this does not prevent others from thinking that he is so high that he is so high. This is why Li Chuyun smells danger.
The more he thought about it, the more urgent the steps under his feet were.After a while, he sat down in the chair, but immediately stood up again.
Li Liangshi asked in confusion: Why are you worried about lord?
Li Chuyun said: I have nothing to do with Fan Zhi!
He pointed out the window again: I just want the portrait of death to be in the Xuanren Merit Pavilion, and the descendants can shine on the lintel, and put my tablet in the main house.
Li Liangshi said: The lord is right...
Li Chuyun stroked his beard hard and said: Empress Duanci was driven away from the West Palace, which others think is what I want to see most.You want to get it, the civil and military officials in the court are not stupid!Fan Zhi jumped out at this time and said, "Why should he say it?"It's all his business.
Mr. Li was thinking, but now he couldn't speak.
So, could Fan Zhi be my instructed?Li Chuyun said in a deep voice, I am a military general, and I am so capable. Even the prime minister is instructing him to move. Is that worth it?
Li Liangshi suddenly realized and slapped his head: I'm really wrong!
Li Chuyun glanced at him angrily.
Liang Shi said: When you reach the position of lord, it is the most important thing to gain the trust of the official family. If you are suspicious, it will be really troublesome.
Li Chuyun sighed. He joined the army during the (post-Jin Dynasty) and had never seen anything. The internal struggles and casualties in the Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties were almost all suspicious of the monarch and ministers... Even Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was killed.
In these dynasties, only those who have military power will be suspicious.
Li Chuyun is now the person with the most powerful military power under the emperor!
Memorials were the main contact information between the emperor and ministers, the center and the local government at this time. In Guo Shao's opinion, it was a bit like the email system of a company in later generations; of course, memorials were much more efficient.
