Daxianguan

Chapter 671

The Shoufu Pavilion naturally disagreed with the establishment of the Emperor Yusi by Emperor Li Qianlong, but what if they disagreed?Li Qianlong made it clear that he wanted to forcibly set up institutions with imperial power, and no one could stop him.The most important thing is that in name, Huang Yusi is a private aide hired by the emperor. The so-called official position is not an official position, and the Ministry of Officials cannot control it.

The Imperial Commissioner was established, and most of the imperial ministers inside were not ready-made officials, but most of them were Taoist immortals found outside, such as Nie Zhizhong.

Regarding the Lord of the Starry Sky's interference in the government affairs, Xiao Yu and others have already told Tianyuan Academy, but this kind of thing is difficult for Tianyuan Academy to restrain, because Nie Zhizhong's cultivation base is too high, and his status is too high. Nie Zhizhong would not listen either.

In this way, Huang Yusi has a Daoyuan real person, who is strong enough to compete with the Shoufu Pavilion.In addition, I don't know how long Li Qianlong has been planning. In addition to Nie Zhizhong and other Daoyuan masters, he also recruited many capable people.

Among them was a great literary sage, Mr. Jiang, known as Old Man Ruijiang. Although he was well-known, he was a person who blindly promoted imperial autocracy. He even wrote some articles criticizing the Shoufu Pavilion and demanding Trying to implement the imperial system, the words can be regarded as sharp, although there are some supporters, but they are not the voice of the mainstream, so no one pays attention to him.

Who would have thought that after Li Qianlong ascended the throne, he actually found this old guy, and he was appointed a high official and became a minister of the imperial court.

Except for this Mr. Jiang, all Li Qianlong found were rotten Confucians who were loyal to the royal family, so he actually built the Royal Secretary.

But for the time being, the imperial censor does not have any great power, but he still participates in court meetings every day, and most of the time he will interfere in some government affairs, and he is still the "writer" of the emperor Li Qianlong. People will draw up imperial edicts and exercise decentralized power.

They are now the emperor's mouth and the emperor's pen. It is conceivable that although they have no specific powers, their powers are actually quite huge.

On the contrary, it is the Shoufu Pavilion, Li Qianlong will not ask for opinions at all, and many orders will be handled directly through the Emperor Yusi without going through the Shoufu Pavilion. On the contrary, it is difficult for the Shoufu Pavilion to bypass the emperor to exercise power. Fortunately, there are many important ministers in the Shoufu Pavilion, Zhongshu, Da Situ Sima, and six ministers. It is impossible to bypass them for many things, so they can compete with each other.

In this way, a situation in which the two sides compete for hegemony is formed.

Obviously, this is very unfavorable to the situation of the Holy Dynasty. These days, many things are just being talked about in the super meeting, but the real thing is not done. This kind of efficiency is much worse than before.

In this way, officials who really care about the Hajj are worried, but there is nothing they can do.

Back in the mansion, Chu Xian couldn't help but sighed.

Seeing this, Li Ziwan also knew why Chu Xian was worried about something. She didn't ask any more questions, but just thoughtfully helped Chu Xian make tea and water, rubbed her shoulders and beat her back.

During these days, the people in the mansion, no matter who they are, try not to disturb Chu Xian as much as possible. Everyone knows that Chu Xian is a little anxious about the matter of going up.

Chu Xian did have something to worry about. Right now, there is a sense of turmoil in the Holy Dynasty. The Imperial Secretary has to get involved in everything. Right now, Chu Xian is still working in Wenshengyuan. have to interfere.

The most irritating thing is that the other party actually asked to modify the content of the test questions according to their wishes.

The local examination for the list of candidates is very important for the Holy Dynasty. It is a key to talent selection and an extremely important mechanism.According to the normal situation, the top students take the five subjects of Law, Books, Politics, Arts, and Strategy. Those corrupt Confucians who respect imperial power actually want to change these subjects and add some inexplicable questions.

Such as loyalty to the imperial power, how to establish the imperial authority, etc. In addition, there are many rules, such as in all the answer sheets, there must be no criticism of the royal family, let alone criticism, even a little disrespect. .

To this, Chu Xian flatly refused. On the Wenshengyuan side, Chu Xian did not allow Huang Yusi to intervene. Unexpectedly, on the second day of the court meeting, the Huang Yusi participated in Chu Xian's book at the meeting, saying Chu Xian took credit for his arrogance, arrogance and dictatorship, disrespect for the emperor's order, and so on, and many other problems were cited, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were nothing but troubles, so they were refuted by all the officials. Don't leave it alone, it's as chaotic as a vegetable market.

At this time, the emperor Li Qianlong who was sitting on it snorted coldly, and the meeting fell silent at that moment.

"Chu Xian, you dismissed Mr. Jiang's rectification methods one by one, but I didn't think what you said made sense. Strengthening the imperial power and respecting the king's way are clearly stated in the holy ancestor's edict, and the students are required to write loyalty to the emperor. What's wrong with your remarks? Or is it because you think you shouldn't act in accordance with the edict of the holy ancestor?" Li Qianlong raised his momentum, looked at Chu Xian and asked.

Although Chu Xian was annoyed, he didn't show the slightest bit. He saluted first, and then said: "Reporting to the emperor, Chu Xian is acting in accordance with the order of the holy ancestor."

"Nonsense." Mr. Jiang, the old rotten Confucian next to him, couldn't help but said, Chu Xian just shook his head: "Master Jiang seems to disagree, so may I ask, you are not only a well-known Confucian, but also a literary sage, so you must be able to treat the holy pilgrims. The code is memorized backwards, do you still remember how it was written in the code regarding the selection of talents and the establishment of an examination system for top students?"

On the opposite side, Mr. Jiang's face changed slightly. He naturally knew what Chu Xian was going to say. It is to be able to speak freely, so that talents can be considered and used by the Holy Dynasty.

Now they insist on stipulating what candidates should write and say, which is equivalent to restraining and controlling the other party's mouth and pen. I ask, isn't this contrary to the code.

The problem is that the law code was written by the holy ancestor himself, and it is the ancestor of the law of the holy dynasties. All laws and regulations must abide by the law code.

Of course, the holy pilgrimage code was originally written by the holy ancestor, but the holy ancestor also said that the law can be changed, which means that the people of later generations can modify the code according to the actual situation and enrich it.

These Mr. Jiang naturally knew that Chu Xian was using the words of the ancestor to deal with him.

But he didn't know that this happened to fall into the trap he set up.

Then I saw the old rotten Confucian Mr. Jiang sneer a few times: "Master Chu is a good example of a literati, and he has indeed read a lot. Well, since you mentioned the Holy Dynasty Code, then Jiang just happened to have something to say to the emperor, I The emperor's sage is as bright as the sky, and it is a blessing in the world to inherit the wish of the holy ancestor and take charge of the holy dynasty. All officials should do their best to assist, and there must be no disrespect or words of disrespect. But since the emperor ascended the throne, it is so difficult to carry out things, dignified The emperor, you still have to be restrained by your courtiers, what is the reason? Half of the things the emperor promotes are left alone, or they are trying to obstruct them, it is simply unreasonable."

The old rotten man's voice became louder and louder, and at the end he almost yelled angrily, with an extremely excited look on his face.

I don't know, I really thought he was worried about the country, I really thought he was a good person.

But everyone knows that this old rotten scholar is the worst thing. He talks about some high-sounding nonsense, but he doesn't do any serious things.

Speaking of these words now, I am afraid that they intend to use this incident to amend the code.

The holy pilgrimage code is the sect of all laws. Generally speaking, it must not be easily modified. This old rotten scholar is obviously uneasy and kind. If he is really asked to make excuses to modify the code, it will inevitably bring disaster to the world.

The so-called interfering with the test questions of the list students is just an excuse. Sure enough, the old rotten scholar then said: "The old minister petitioned His Majesty to amend the code of laws and add the rules of respect for the emperor. They should all be punished as serious crimes, so that the world can understand the dignity and inferiority, and let the courtiers know the awe, which is a blessing for all generations."

After finishing speaking, he actually took the lead and knelt down, bowing down.

This time, the person who got it was quite tired and uncomfortable. Relatively speaking, all the immortal officials at the Shoufu Pavilion frowned. It is absolutely unbearable to actually plan to revise the holy pilgrimage code.

Everyone knows that the holy pilgrimage code is the root of all laws, and everyone must obey it. It is the most powerful "weapon" of the holy pilgrimage, so the content of the holy pilgrimage is only the most basic, but every revision, even if it is to add a word Phrases, things that must be cautious, are things that need to be discussed and agreed by all officials.This old rotten Confucian surnamed Jiang actually wants to add that bullshit imperial power etiquette into it, isn't this nonsense.

If you really let the other party succeed, then the other party has a reason to say that Li Qianlong wants to say one thing. If others disagree, it means disrespecting the emperor, and they have to ask the teacher for punishment.

So, absolutely not.

Immediately, some immortal officials objected, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment even bluntly said that Jiang Boji didn't understand anything and was messing around. How could this code be amended like this? It's just nonsense.

Jiang Boji looked up at his uncle and said, "Is it reasonable for you to disrespect the imperial power? Jiang just can't understand how you control the government and disrespect our emperor. You must know that the whole world is the emperor's land, and you are all the emperor's ministers." , if no rules are established, how will the emperor establish his prestige and wield power? This law code must be changed if it is not changed."

On the side of Huang Yusi, they all stood up to support Jiang Boji.

All of a sudden, the court was in chaos.

What's interesting is that no matter how chaotic the court was, Li Qianlong still didn't say a word, and in the Shoufu Pavilion over there, the chief seat Xiao Yu and Yang Zhenqing didn't speak.

These few people were calm, everyone could see that Jiang Boji was just acting and laying the groundwork, and the real contest was yet to come.

At this time, one of the ministers of the imperial censor said: "Mr. Jiang, don't be impatient. You don't need to revise the code, but the rules of superiority and inferiority must be established. Otherwise, where is the imperial power? Lin is not talented, so he wrote a law to use it. Restraining words and deeds, you adults can take a look, and at the same time, ask your majesty to decide whether it is feasible."
