In the afternoon of the same day, the celebrant sent the song and Zhu to the six sections.

"Six Branches" refers to the six branches in the matter, referred to as the six branches. Any one of the six subjects is set up for one person in the matter, and there are seven products; The left and right are from the seven products, the attendants, the regulations, the supplement, the relics, the assistant emperor to deal with the chapter, the inspection of the six affairs.

The six subjects enjoy the right of "copying", "copying" and "cancellation". Among them, "cancellation" means that the holy decree and the recital are attached to the section every day, and are sent to the cabinet for the record every five days, and the executive yamen is ordered to handle government affairs within the specified time limit, and after verification by the six sections, it will be cancelled on five days. The six departments can also participate in court discussions, court pushes, participate in the formulation of major policies of the imperial court, and supervise their implementation.

Of course, the most well-known power of the Six Branches lies in its right to refute the Holy Decree, which is close to the province of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, although all of the six departments are only seven products in the matter, they are respected by the world as "Dadu Advice" and "Dadu Advice", and of course there is a very modern title, called Section Chief.

As for the six branches themselves, the honorific title is even more magnificent - Luantai.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was in power, and changed the Zhongshu Province to "Fengge", and the province was changed to "Luantai".

Also during the Wu Zetian period, there was a person who said a very famous sentence: "Without going through the Fengge Luantai, what is the name!" ”

This principle is also true in the Ming Dynasty, although the emperor's holy decrees and edicts can be issued directly to people without going through the cabinet and the six branches, but such holy decrees are seriously lacking in legitimacy in the eyes of the world, that is, the so-called "middle decree". Theoretically, if the person concerned is more temperamental, he can directly refuse to accept it, and it is difficult for the emperor to judge him for his guilt by resisting the decree.

Today's Zhu Criticism, more than half of them are sent directly to the Household Division, which means that these Zhu Batches are related to the Household Department or the Household Department officials.

If the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate was the main position of the Heart School, then the Six Departments were a battlefield where the Real School had the advantage. Such a layout has been laid down in the Gaogong era, because only in this way can the Shixue School smoothly implement its own governance program under the condition that the court has a comprehensive advantage at that time, otherwise the holy decree will not be issued, and things will not be easy to do.

To this day, the "Dadu Advice" given by the then Hu Kedu is an acquaintance, and the big name is Xiao Liangyu. His brother is one of the top three tripods in the eighth year of Wanli, ranking second only to Xiao Liangyou, who is highly pragmatic.

Seven years have passed, Xiao Liangyou still stays in the Hanlin Academy, and continues to be his "prime minister". And his younger brother Xiao Liangyu was the fifty-sixth place in the second class that year, although he was shortlisted in the subsequent hall selection, and he also did Shu Jishi, but soon after the museum was disbanded, he left the Hanlin Academy and took up a foreign position, but fortunately, after all, he was a Shu Jishi, and he still stayed in Beijing to be a Beijing official.

In the past seven years, he has done everything from the engineering department to the left of the military department, and from the left to the military department to the household department, and finally achieved one of the "most admonitions", which can be described as a humble and powerful position.

This year is the third year that he has been in office, and due to the limitations of the system, he has not been able to serve for a long time, so he has always been a little nervous, not knowing where his career will go.

In fact, although the rank of the six departments is not high, only equivalent to the local magistrate, its career is very broad, and its promotion is also very convenient, far from being comparable to other official positions at the same level. It can be found in many historical materials of the Ming Dynasty that many of the six subjects are promoted several levels in a row, and all of them are given to those who jump from seven to three at once. Of course, there are many that only go to the fourth or fifth grade.

It is precisely because of the "flexibility" of career prospects that Xiao Liangyu has already made up his mind that he must cooperate well and not cause trouble to Gao Pragmatic's governance.

This is done for the sake of his own future - after all, he and Gao Pragmatic were originally in the same year, and his brother Xiao Liang is a good friend of Gao Pragmatic, both brothers are practical scholars, and the word "Gao" is engraved with gold on the door of their heads; Second, it is also to repay the practical school, especially Gao Pragmatism, for his care - the new science and technology Jinshi mixed with the capital in the fifth year, it is not Xu Jie's high arch into the pavilion like pushing the boat, not everyone has such a good fate, there is obviously a high pragmatic force behind this, a strong force, so Xiao Liangyu can't know how to repay the kindness.

However, in all fairness, Xiao Liangyu did not expect that Gao Pragmatic would make such a big splash today on the fourth day of his new appointment, and the spokesman of the Heart School on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seemed to be crazy this time, and there were almost dozens of people who did not impeach Gao Pragmatic today.

This posture is not far behind the style of Xu Jie's creation of the "Manchu Dynasty Inverted Arch" situation back then. What's more, as far as Xiao Liangyu knows, Shen Yuanfu himself does not seem to have personally commanded this trend, it was all spontaneous by the speakers of the Heart School, which shows how deeply Gao Pragmatic's "Taking and Using Shu" angered them.

In the face of this situation, although Xiao Liangyu was also a little uneasy, he was more excited - he finally got such a good opportunity to take a stand!

Heaven and earth, just look at the performance this time!

With such an idea, Xiao Liangyu instructed the clerk to cook himself a pot of strong tea early in the morning, so as not to "find fault" at that time.

These strong teas may have really played some role, so when Song Shu, Ticket and Zhu Pi were sent together, his spirit was not only good, but also excited.

The first Zhu criticism that Xiao Liangyu saw was a reply to Shen Yuanfu. Today's royal pen has always been very beautiful, and this time is no exception, there are not many words above, only two short sentences:

"Mr. Cheng is always planning for the country, and he has a lot of concerns. Where Gao Shu did not speak, I should call for a detailed question. ”

Xiao Liangyu saw it, not only overjoyed.

Although the emperor Zhu Pi took great care of "Mr. Shen's" face, and first praised him for his old success and thoughtfulness, he did not agree with his opinion and rejected Gao Shipra's "Taking and Using Shu". The emperor only said that for the part that did not explain the details in the "Access and Use of Shu", he would pass on the high and pragmatic summons to ask carefully to understand.

It seems that it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision between the first assistant and the first minister, so it is not too late for them to "tie" first, and then make a decision when they understand the details. Of course, it is not excluded that the emperor is just pretending to be fair, in fact, he has already had his own opinion in his heart, and calling Gao pragmatic is just a means to dispel doubts from the outside world.

It's just that if this is the case, what kind of opinion the emperor has is not something that outsiders can see.

The former young son of heaven has really grown up now, and he has begun to have that kind of "unpredictable" means and demeanor.

There is nothing wrong with this Zhu batch, Xiao Liangyu carefully looked at it twice, signed and sealed it in a proper manner, and then picked up the next Zhu batch.

This Zhu criticism, Xiao Liangyu knew that the emperor was angry just by looking at the font - the words on it seemed to be iron-painted and silver-hooked, and it was not a typical Zhao style of the previous Zhu criticism.

Not only is the word like the person, in fact, from a person's calligraphy, you can even "see the god of the word", that is, you can see the mood of the person who wrote at the time - of course, this is only effective for people with high calligraphy attainments, and the level of the spring worm and autumn snake is another matter, and the thing can't see anything. Wu Jiu Literature

The ticket on this recital is less than forty words of Shen Shixing, and the recital itself is quite long, Xiao Liangyu did not plan to look at it carefully, but directly read the final Zhu criticism.

"Gao pragmatic and loyal is well-known, and I have known it for a long time. What is your intention to be arrogant and shallow, to speak crazy words, to slander the department, and to divide the monarchs and ministers? Under the Zhenfu Division, I really asked to play! ”

"Smack!" Xiao Liangyu slapped the table suddenly, he was so excited that he couldn't help laughing three times.

"Xia Zhen Fu Si really asked to play" is not a joke, this is a "special", in fact, it is the so-called "edict prison" in later generations, and the member is also the hand-picked heavy punishment object. Generally speaking, only when the emperor is angry, he will directly name Zhu in the Zhu criticism, "Xia Zhenfu Si really asks".

However, just as when the emperor beat his courtiers, different expressions represent different degrees of punishment.

For example, the emperor said "Twenty court staffs", this is fine, the board must be raised high, gently fallen, and after the beating, you can walk home by patting your buttocks; If it is "dragged down and blamed for twenty", this is actually not a big problem, generally speaking, the skin and flesh will not run, but it is only the skin and flesh that suffers, and there will be no "internal injuries"; However, if the emperor added the three words "real fight" after this sentence, it would be a big deal, most likely to kill people, but there would be no skin injuries. And so on, and so on, all have a saying.

There is also a saying here that "the lower town Fusi really asks to play", and there are generally several different levels, and this one is neither high nor low.

If we only talk about the statement that we will be tortured in the edict prison, then the lightest of them is "to ask the Suppression Division". Under this kind of wording, the severity of the punishment is controlled by the Department of Suppression.

It was said earlier in this book that there are now more and more civil servants in Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei is generally unwilling to completely oppose the civil official group, so if the emperor just says this, then although the fight is to fight, Jinyiwei is usually just for show, and will never be killed or disabled.

If the offender has other courtiers to rescue, or even a high-ranking official, the Jinyi guard is very interesting, and the butt beating the red pine pine bark will be over. Of course, if the family members of the convict himself are smart enough to send silver to the Department of Suppression, they can even get rid of the "loose skin".

The most severe is "under the town of Fu Si to really ask", under this kind of wording, there will be a lot of pressure on the Jinyi guard, because the emperor must be angry, so Dongchang will definitely send someone to supervise. There is no accommodating way to do this, so we can only "fight hard," and civil officials are generally like that, and it is very easy to get killed if they really "fight hard."

The reason why "Xia Zhenfu Division really asks to play" is not the most severe is because it has the word "come to play". Since you still have to "play", then you Jinyiwei obviously can't kill the parties directly, and you still play a ghost when the parties are dead? Isn't that to say whatever you want?

The civil clique will certainly pick out the words here - they really can't stand up to the angry emperor, but they can still pull your pigtails. Therefore, Jin Yiwei also has to be cautious, under the emperor's wording, the heaviest thing is to be crippled, but he will definitely not be killed.

Since they won't be killed, what is Xiao Liangyu so excited about?

The reason is very simple, in the fifteen years since he succeeded to the throne, the heaviest punishment for the official was only "asking the lower town and Fu Division", and this time it was the first time that "the lower town and the Fu Division really asked to play", which was unprecedented.

After Xiao Liangyu was excited, he sighed and said to himself: "Is it a classmate for ten years, or Situ's big face!" ”

It's just that the reason why the emperor is so angry Xiao Liangyu still has to figure out - Shen Yuanfu's ticket is going to be pasted on the bullet seal, obviously planning to pretend to be stupid and stunned to protect the officials of the same faction, why didn't the emperor give face? You must know that in the Zhu criticism just now, the emperor is still very face-saving to "Mr. Shen". Xiao Liangyu took a closer look at this bullet.

After a while, after reading the bullet chapter, Xiao Liangyu couldn't help but snort lightly: "There is a way to take death." ”

It turns out that the problem with this bullet is that it is infinitely elevated and expanded, and it is not just a "slander" of high pragmatism mentioned in the draft of the Shen Shi Xing ticket, but also a lot of other things that are not.

For example, he said in the bullet chapter that Gao pragmatic "cronyism, non-confidants are rare to hold important positions; He also said that he "tarnished his reputation by relying on the saint's family, and ruined the famous religion by virtue of his famous weapon", and even said that he "was as powerful as Dong Zhuo, and he did not let Lin Fu from Shengcong"...... All these things almost put all the famous traitors on the head of Gao Shishi.

The reason why Xiao Liangyu disdainfully commented on his sentence "There is a way to take death" is because if according to him, Gao Pragmatic is not enough to apologize for his crimes, but the question is what the emperor should do?

You compare Gao Pragmatism to Dong Zhuo, who is the emperor? Young Emperor Liu Bian?

You compare Gao Pragmatism to Li Linfu, who is the emperor? Xuanzong Li Longji?

Then you are really dead! The young emperor Liu Wei was first deposed, and a year later he was forced to commit suicide; Although Xuanzong Li Longji was good in the early stage, he favored Yang Yuhuan alone in the later period, and the government was deserted, causing the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

Isn't your analogy an old birthday star eating arsenic - living impatiently?

As for the high-level pragmatic cronyism, public and private use, and so on, I can't produce any tangible evidence.

said that when he was in Liaodong, he deliberately transferred Ma Dong and others over in order to squeeze out Li Chengliang, but the problem is that Gao Shishi went to Liaodong to warn Li Chengliang to go with holy will, and reused Ma Dong and others...... The battle of southern Liaoning was fought by them, you don't look at such a big credit there, you just say that he was nepotistic? Do you have horse urine in your head?

It is said that the high pragmatic public and private use of public weapons "became hugely rich", which is the Tang Dynasty in the world, and the potential energy of Jinghua can be traced back to the Longqing period. At that time, Gao Pragmatic was just a companion, and the first business he did was approved by Mu Zong himself, which he exchanged for the free supply of palace soap, where did he get the public utensils here for his private use?

Do you still want to climb the high arch? People have already closed the coffin, and they are extremely upright, you do this, no one in the world can bear it, you know!
