Chapter 344 Fire Pit
Standing quietly outside the door, listening to the names frequently appearing inside the door, Qin Fu suddenly felt a little sad.

This son is a 15 years old young scholar, and he has already jumped into this. If the imperial examination really enters the official career smoothly in the future, can he still survive?
If you don't let this son save a seed quickly, if things go wrong in the future, at least the incense will not be cut off.

When an official came over, he walked to the door of the Dongchao room, and was shocked to find a certain Da Dang surnamed Qin standing outside the Dongchao room in a daze.

Then he asked loudly: "What is Qin eunuch doing here?"

Hearing these words in Dongchao's room, the quarrel was suspended, and a eunuch came over, presumably to deliver an order.

And alarming a eunuch of Eunuch Qin's caliber to run errands, it must be a big deal.

Qin Fu sighed secretly, withdrew his messy thoughts, showed his superb acting skills, frowned and stared.

Accompanied by rich body language, he raised his leg and then kicked towards the door of the east facing room.

Bang bang!The door was kicked open in good time, and the tall figure of eunuch Qin appeared in front of the officials.

Good acting skills allow the audience to immediately understand the emotions contained in the characters.

The officials all looked sideways at the eunuch Qin, and everyone immediately understood that the emperor was very angry!
At the same time, the officials were a little surprised that they didn't send the eunuchs to come. Could it be that the emperor has some dissatisfaction with the supervisors recently.

There was a room full of senior officials, and the eunuch Qin didn't look for anyone, but yelled: "Wang Shizhong! The emperor is asking questions!"

Wang Shizhong, the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up without fear, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

Qin eunuch asked: "The emperor asks you, why did you go to Feng En for the second time without guilt!"

Wang Shizhong played right: "The smooth flow of speech is the policy of Emperor Taizu Gao. If you dare to speak up and remonstrate, what is the crime?"

The eunuch Qin asked again: "How can Qiu Jun be innocent?"

Wang Shizhong played right: "This is a loyal word."

Eunuch Qin said again: "Wang Shizhong, if you still don't know right from wrong, you can resign!"

Wang Shizhong took off his official hat by himself, kowtowed to Bei and said, "Thank you for the grace of heaven for letting the old minister's bones go home!"

The Shangshu, one of the nine ministers of the outer court and one of the six ministries, said it would be gone. The officials in the court saw this scene, some were shocked, some were calm, and some were puzzled.

There are also those who are not afraid of big things, cupped their hands to Wang Shizhong and said: "Congratulations, my lord, for leaving with a full name!"

Today, Huo Tao, the host of Tingtui and the actual spokesperson of the Ministry of Officials, asked the eunuch Qin again: "Regarding the Ministry of Punishment, does the emperor have any other orders?"

Eunuch Qin replied: "Not yet."

According to the personnel procedures, in theory, the ministers and high-ranking officials, except for the cabinet bachelor, the official secretary, and the Hanlin Fangju, have to go through the court to make a public opinion, and then report to the emperor for approval.

So I began to think about it vividly, isn't it just doing Tingtui now?Since the emperor doesn't have a particular candidate, why don't you take advantage of the trend and discuss the candidate for the Minister of Punishment?
But the people with more active thoughts thought again, now the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is a fire pit, and whoever goes up will be unlucky.

Before Feng En's case is resolved, the Minister of Criminal Affairs is definitely not a good job, I'm afraid no one is willing to take on the heavy responsibility bravely.

So logically, the Feng En case should be solved first?

Huo Tao, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Officials, suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Wang Tingxiang, "Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has no principal, Feng En's case can be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial."

Hehe, it would be perfect to solve the case and take away one Wang Shizhong and another Wang Tingxiang.

Then the Judiciary controlled by Xia Yan will be reshuffled, and the opportunity to seize power will come again.

Thinking of this, Huo Tao's mood became happier. This is really a surprise today.

As long as he can control the Ministry of Officials and the Judiciary, and make friends with Fang Xianfu, a scholar from the same hometown, then maybe he won't have to be the younger brother of the chief assistant Zhang Fujing in the future!

Think about this future, it is really beautiful.

Hearing Huo Tao misfortune, Wang Tingxiang, the censor of Zuodu, took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and responded:
"Feng En was convicted because of his words, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is full of judges. The trial of Feng En will damage the morale of all the judges and lead to the collapse of the imperial court, so it is not suitable to use judges to try crimes!"

Huo Tao: "."

Wucao, you, Wang Tingxiang, are so unreasonable, but it makes people speechless!

At the same time, Huo Tao felt very puzzled. Wang Tingxiang, an old scalper with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has always been more practical than eloquent. When did he become so eloquent?
Huo Shilang didn't believe in evil, and forced him to ask again: "The Ministry of Punishment can't try it, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't try it, so what should you do, Zuodu Censor? Please send it to the Changwei Prison for interrogation!"

Huo Tao didn't believe it anymore, there are still civil servants who dare to say publicly that they sent their colleagues to the factory guard prison.

Wang Tingxiang said calmly: "Is there any other way? At present, the only plan is Ting Yu!"

The word Ting Yu immediately attracted everyone's attention.It seems that this kind of thing has not happened for many years, and everyone forgot to think about it.

Huo Tao didn't react for a while, but instinctively felt that something was wrong, and fell into deep thought.

Wang Tingxiang didn't bother to talk to Huo Tao any more, so he took out the memorandum again, handed it to the eunuch Qin and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has this memorandum, please invite Tingfeng Feng En!"

Immediately everyone understood that Wang Tingxiang was definitely prepared for this!
The Qin eunuch, on behalf of the emperor, has finished asking and delivering the decree, and will definitely go to play the result.

Wang Tingxiang's memorandum related to Feng En's case can be regarded as part of the result, and the eunuch Qin also submitted it along with it.

However, Wang Tingxiang's approach is a bit inconsistent with the unspoken rules.

Over the years, the power of the cabinet has continued to expand, and the process of official documents has gradually been affected. Before the memorials are issued by the ministries, most of them must first inform the White Cabinet of the content, and then submit the memorials.

What Wang Tingxiang did was to submit the memorial directly to the emperor without informing the cabinet in advance. This is the style of the old-school ministry officials decades ago, which is legal and compliant but does not conform to the unspoken rules.

Eunuch Qin came arrogantly and then left quietly.

Huo Shilang finally came to his senses, what did Ting Yu mean!

The model of the court is the model in which the officials of the Nine Ministers of the Outer Dynasty, the representative of Jiagong Hou Boxungui, and the representative of Jiachangwei jointly interrogated the prisoners outside the palace gate.

Like Ting Tui, the cabinet ministers do not participate in the affairs of the outer court.

According to the accepted practice, the head of the Outer Dynasty is the Ministry of Officials, and both Ting Tui and Ting Biao are presided over by the Ministry of Officials.

But now the main work of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Hang, has been placed in the Beijing camp, regardless of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, so the person who presides over the court should be the actual speaker of the Ministry of Officials.

Thinking of this, Huo Tao suddenly turned pale with shock.

Your Wang Tingxiang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has turned into an old woman!Isn't this putting him, the official talker, on fire!
The others probably thought of this too, and looked at Huo Tao with weird eyes, but they didn't expect that it was Huo Shilang who fell into the fire in the end.

Huo Tao really wanted to criticize Wang Tingxiang, but it was useless to scold Wang Tingxiang here, the memorial has already been presented to the emperor.

This made Wang Tingxiang very regretful, he listed several predictions for Huo Tao on the paper in his hand, but only one was used.

Xia Yan said with a smile: "Today's court push is for the selection of Hanlin candidates, continue, continue."

Who still has the heart to say this, but everyone kept silent and didn't leave, because everyone had a hunch.

Sure enough, not long after, the Qin eunuch came out from the palace again, and said to the crowd: "Shangyu! Wang Tingxiang's memorial is approved!"

 I remembered that in the afternoon, I was stuck for a few hours and did not update in time, and the monthly ticket ranking dropped 20, crying!Heartbroken!
