"You talk nonsense!"

Hearing Li Jian's murderous words, Zheng Congyan was so angry that his face was red and blue for a while, and his beard was about to stare up.

Especially in the latter sentence, doesn't it mean that he Zheng Congyan is so vigorously opposed to the abolition of the three provinces for the sake of his official position.

Is he Zheng Congyan that kind of person?

Before this, he had asked the Holy Lord for a tribute more than once, which shows that he did not take this official position very seriously, otherwise he would not have resigned several times.

The reason why he still stayed in the court was only because the saint did not agree with him.

But Li Jian's words made people very angry, didn't he say that he was fame and selfish?

I don't know if Zheng Congyan was in a hurry, and the other party fell down as he spoke.

"Zheng Shizhong, Zheng Shizhong!"

"Li Jian, you are simply a supreme official!"

"Li Jian, you are so hateful!"

Zheng Congyan, as a jinshi in the Huichang period, has gone through Wuzong, Xuanzong, Yizong, Xizong and the elders of the five dynasties of today's saints, and has many old friends in the court.

His fainting made the court chaotic for a while, some hurriedly supported him, some scolded Li Jian, and even Li Ye suddenly sat up from the dragon chair.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and call the doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Department. Li Ye instructed the eunuchs around him.

He didn't expect Li Jian to stand up like this, and he didn't expect Zheng Congyan to faint suddenly, but thinking of the other party's age, Li Ye was also a little worried.

Zheng Congyan fainted, and the proceedings in the court could only be temporarily interrupted, and it didn't take long for the imperial doctor from the Imperial Doctor Department to arrive. In fact, there is a doctor waiting next to Hanyuan Palace, mainly to ensure the safety of the emperor, of course, there is a situation where the minister suddenly faints can also be dealt with by the way.

When the imperial doctor came to Zheng Congyan, he quickly took out a roll of white cloth from the medicine box, and spread it out only to find that it was a row of silver needles. There are big and small silver needles, and the imperial doctor took out a few silver needles and pricked them gently in a few places on Zheng Congyan's body, and the other party, who was already in a coma, woke up slowly.

Seeing his colleague with a concerned face, Zheng Congyan remembered what had happened and hurriedly stood up tremblingly, and saluted Li Ye next to him, "Your Majesty, the minister just doesn't want Your Majesty to cause chaos in the court because of impulsiveness, and he is not selfish." This position in the waiter, the minister can resign at any time, and I hope that His Majesty will be clear. ”

For an old minister like him, he is afraid that in the end, he will not be able to guarantee the late season.

Li Ye hurriedly helped the other party up and said with concern, "Zheng Aiqing doesn't have to worry, it's just a matter of facts, I don't mean that." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Zheng Aiqing is in poor health, and it is not appropriate to be stimulated anymore, you can go to the side hall to rest first, and let the imperial doctors treat Aiqing well, so as not to fall into the root of the disease."

Without waiting for Zheng Congyan to refuse, Li Ye asked the eunuch next to him to help the other party to the side hall, and the imperial doctor and apprentice next to him also followed after saluting Li Ye.

And Zheng Congyan had just fainted, his body was still relatively weak, and his whole body was weak, so he could only watch the two eunuchs help him out, and it was useless to object.

Concern is concern, but taking the opportunity to let such an old stubborn stop for a while, Li Ye will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

And those ministers were also a little anxious when they saw Zheng Congyan being helped to leave, but the Shengshang's reasons were very sufficient, and they didn't even have a reason to refute them.

After a Zheng Congyan, what will happen to the next court?

Today is a big court meeting, looking at the posture of the saint, he obviously wants to make a decision, but this Zheng Shizhong goes to rest like this, isn't there a lack of backbone?

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zheng Shizhong is unwell, but the court meeting still has to continue. Since there is some resistance to the abolition of the three provinces, let's talk about the other matters first, the cabinet, which I feel is necessary to decide.

The rank of Cabinet University Scholar is not worthy of the name, so from now on, as long as the Minister is crowned as a Cabinet University Scholar, he will be regarded as a member of the second rank, can the Minister have any objections to this decision? ”

"No objection!"

Pei Rong said immediately.

Seeing that Pei Rong was the first to agree without principle, many courtiers were speechless, you are a privy envoy who is a second grade, is it a scholar, and it has no effect on you, why are you so active?

"There is no objection to the minister!"

Li Sizhou, Li Mi, Xiao Rong, and Li Jian also immediately expressed their positions.

Seeing that there were no objections from a few people, Li Ling and Yang Hanzhou looked at each other for a while, their eyes were a little hesitant, but in the end they chose to agree, after all, it was also about their own interests.

However, Li Pei was obviously worried that the Holy Lord would abolish the three provinces, so he spoke, "Your Majesty, Shangshu's left and right servants, Zhongshu Shilang, and Menxia Shilang have been vacant, and the minister implores Your Majesty to decide on the candidates for these positions as soon as possible, with a view to resuming the daily operation of the three provinces as soon as possible." ”

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Li Ye said with a haha, he finally transferred Liu Chongwang and Du Rangneng to the place, how could he reconfirm the candidates for these positions.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the saint deliberately treated it coldly, Li Ling was a little anxious.

Although today's reaction was too strong, the idea of the Holy Lord wanting to abolish the three provinces could not be realized, but now the Holy Lord intends to make the three high-ranking officials vacant and deliberately cold treatment, and after the cabinet continues to gain popularity, it is only a matter of time before the three provinces are abolished.

Seeing that Li Ling was so uninteresting, a trace of unhappiness flashed on Li Ye's face, and he changed the topic again, "In addition to the issues of the three provinces and the cabinet, there are still a few agendas today, and then let's talk about the responsibilities of the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Jinyiwei."

As you all know, the current responsibilities of the Criminal Department are mainly to criminalize, decree, and subordinate to civilians and officials below the seventh grade, Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of criminal prison cases, Yushitai is responsible for picketing hundreds of bureaucrats and impeaching lawlessness, and Jinyiwei is currently in charge of intelligence and edicts.

I feel that there is still something unreasonable in it, Zheng Sheren, read my decisions to the ministers. ”

Zheng Zhongyi, who was on the side, hurriedly took out a holy decree and came to the court and began to read it aloud.

Although it is also a housekeeper, Zheng Zhongyi was a living house person before, but now he is a Zhongshu housekeeper, and there are many differences between these two words.

Although the status of the three provinces has declined now, and the saint has directly stated that he wants to abolish the three provinces, the Zhongshu Sheren, as a courtier next to the Son of Heaven, has little power but not a low status.

Zheng Zhongyi immediately read out the contents of the holy decree, and when he heard the contents of the holy decree, the expressions on the faces of the officials of the four yamen were different, some were happy and some were lost.

As the criminal department with little power among the six ministries, it was split again, although it was responsible for the criminal administration of the world, but it was not responsible for the trial of cases, and at the same time, even the functions of the apprentices were also stripped out of the criminal department.

In addition to the criminal cases transferred by the Criminal Department and the cases involving officials transferred by the Yushitai, the Dali Temple is also responsible for civil trials, that is, civil disputes, loans, marriages, etc.

At the same time, all provinces, prefectures, and counties have set up upper, middle, and lower Dali courts, which are separated from the scope of local administration and try cases full-time. This means that the county order of a county has no right to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of officials and the trial of cases at the lower level of the county, and the appointment and dismissal of officials at all levels of the Dali Yuan are the responsibility of the higher-level Dali Yuan.

In the Hereafter, it is the independence of the judiciary.

This is not only to seize the power of the Criminal Department, but also to seize the power of the local government.
