Chapter 1255: Jia Ge Lao Xiongqi (Middle)
Li Chengxun, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, stood up to support Jia Yong, and compared Xu Da, the first king of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty, with Xu Jin, and bluntly said that Xu Jin is not worthy of the king, at least when he is alive, after all, even Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was posthumously crowned, and the Ming Dynasty will never allow a living king with a different surname.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a strong resonance among a group of opposition officials, who stood up one after another to second, and even Xia Yan, who had always been good friends with Xu Jin, also came out to persuade him: "It is against the ancestral system of our dynasty to crown the Duke of Yasukuni as a king with a different surname, and the minister implores the emperor to retract his order." ”
"I implore the emperor to take back his order!"
"I implore the emperor to take back his order!"
"I implore the emperor to take back his fate, think twice!" Dozens of courtiers of different official positions and sizes echoed their words, and the momentum was really not small.
Jia Yong is the head of the hundred officials, standing at the front, at this time the old waist pole is straight, as if he has drunk half a catty of two pots, his face is full of red light, and even the wrinkles are stretched out one by one, as if he is back to eighteen years old, full of blood and rolling. Obviously, our Jia Ge Lao is enjoying the pleasure of responding to all kinds of calls at this moment, which is very cool!
It is said that when Fei Hong was in charge of the cabinet, Jia Yong began to enter the cabinet and served as an auxiliary minister, and has been playing the role of miscellaneous affairs, after Fei Hong retired, he was replaced by Jin Xianmin in charge of the cabinet, Jia Yong still did chores, and later Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji also retired successively.
However, our Jia Ge is used to being a transparent person, even if he sits in the first position in the cabinet, he still can't change his usual style, he has no opinions, he gets by, he is submissive to the top, and he is obedient to the subordinates.
Therefore, the court officials all looked down on this Jia Ge Shoufu, and gave him the nickname "Fake Pavilion Lao" behind his back, or "Clay Sculpture Shoufu" and the like, and even some officials directly impeached him for his corpse vegetarian meal, and asked him to get out of the way and let Xian go, and don't occupy the pit without shit.
Although our Jia Ge Lao is a Buddhist, he also wants to be face-saving, so he has long wanted to prove that he is not so weak and incompetent, but unfortunately his ability and character are flawed, and his waist is always unable to stand up in front of the emperor, and his ability is not as good as that of his colleagues who work together.
This time, the emperor planned to promote Xu Jin to the king of the county, and issued a decree to order the cabinet to discuss, hey, our Jia Ge Lao finally accumulated enough energy value, and a small universe broke out, directly rejecting Jiajing's will.
I have to say that Jiajing's canonization of the king with a different surname is indeed a bit "shocking", which has caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers, so our Jia Ge Lao has not only won the support of many colleagues, but also slightly redeemed his dignity and prestige as the head and assistant of the cabinet.
Frankly speaking, Jia Ge has been in charge of the cabinet for more than half a year, and today he has only tasted the pleasure of the leaders for the first time, so he is a little fluttering at the moment, and he can't find the north.
Looking at the opposing minister who fell to his knees, Jiajing's heart was extremely annoyed, but on the surface he was calm and composed, he was no longer the ignorant young emperor who had been in the palace for nearly seven years, and this kind of battle could not scare him at all.
Today's Jiajing has long since changed his role and become a real thunderous emperor, on the other hand, Yang Tinghe and the heyday civilian-official clique when he was in charge of the cabinet are now fragmented, and the restraint on Jiajing is getting weaker and weaker, so even if Jiajing forcibly passes the resolution today, the opposition officials are helpless.
However, if the imperial power is used to forcibly suppress the ministers, and the emperor's reputation is damaged, those civil trolls will definitely seize on this matter and make a big fuss, and some of the shady scholars may even play with the pen and write a few crooked poems or wild history articles to insinuate and satirize or something, then it is not good!
So Jiajing didn't say a word, his eyes swept the audience coldly, and finally stopped at Zhang Xuan, who was also clever, and immediately went out of class and said: "The minister thinks that it is not inappropriate for the emperor to confer the title of Jingguo as the king of the county!" ”
Jiajing was happy in his heart, but Zhang Xuan was still sensible and caring, nodded and smiled: "Zhang Qing's family is here." ”
Zhang Xuan shook his way towards the throne, glanced at the opposition officials who were staring at him casually, and sneered: "There are three reasons for the opposition of the ministers and princes. First, there is no precedent for our dynasty to be crowned a king with a different surname, which violates the ancestral system. Second, the merits of the Yasukuni Gong are not as good as those of the founding generals, and they are not enough to be crowned kings. Third, the Yasukuni Gong was born in a professional class, and it has already made an exception to be crowned the Duke of the State as a civil official, and it must no longer violate the rules and regulations. ”
As soon as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Hu Shining, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who had always been vicious and hateful, choked and said: "Don't you think that these three reasons are not enough!" ”
Zhang Xuan said calmly: "Although the lower officials are stupid, they dare not agree. ”
"Phew, you Zhang Bingyong is just a flattering speculative villain, and you dare to agree with the public." Hu Shining dared to scold King Ning in front of him back then, and it was no problem to scold Zhang Xuan himself.
Although Zhang Xuan has a deep city government and is very patient, he was scolded as a flattering speculative villain in front of hundreds of officials, and his face was still red and white with anger.
Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Hu Qingjia is sarcastic, is it me, is it a faint gentleman who only listens to flattery?" ”
As soon as the big hat was buttoned down, Hu Shining's face suddenly changed slightly in fright, and he quickly knelt down to apologize: "Don't dare!" ”
Jiajing said coldly: "If you dare to sarcastically mock the king again, I will cure you for the crime of bullying the king and get rid of it!" ”
"Your Majesty...... The minister did not mean to be sarcastic! Hu Shangshu shouted angrily, and the two guards in front of the hall had already pushed him out of the hall.
In an instant, the death-like silence in the hall, everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, and finally refreshed the cognition of Emperor Jiajing's methods again, for a while, no one dared to speak out rashly, lest Jiajing seize the loophole and buckle his hat again, and then give an order to drive out of the Wenhua Palace.
Jiajing's fierce operation undoubtedly dealt a blow to the head of a group of opposition officials, and seriously dealt a blow to their morale and fighting spirit.
Jiajing had a cold face and said lightly: "Zhang Qing's family and continue to speak!" ”
Zhang Xuan was naturally in a happy mood at the moment, after all, the emperor had saved face for himself, he coughed lightly, woke up and said: "Your Majesty, the more you argue, the clearer the reasoning is, the clearer the argument is." The minister then refuted each of the above three objections. ”
Jiajing nodded and said approvingly: "Let's refute it!" ”
Xia Yan frowned, it seems that the emperor is determined to make Xu Jin the king of the county today, Zhang Xuan tried his best to echo the emperor, just to please the emperor, Hu Shangshu scolded well, Zhang Bingyong is an undisciplined speculative villain, shame to be with him!
