The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 384 Does the cabinet respect?

Therefore, Xie Qian must not let Xie Qian know about the fact that the emperor went out of the palace to visit the brothel in a micro-clothes.

Otherwise, Gu Dayong, who accompanied the emperor, would definitely become the target of bombardment.The Eight Tigers have wreaked havoc on the country, and the civil officials tried their best to criticize them.

Everyone else can become an official, but Xie Qian can't!

Because this is Xie Shen's biggest ally in the civil servant group, and with Xie Shen's strength, he can't be alone.Without Xie Qian, Xie Shen was really worried that the Yuyao faction that had been painstakingly managed over the years would collapse.

Of course, what worries Xie Shen even more is the relationship between Gu Dayong and him.

Although the two have been very cautious, try not to meet in private.But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and more or less civil servants still captured some details.

But these details cannot prove that Gu Dayong and Xie Shen are allies, so it is impossible to criticize them.

As for the age of the crane, it seems to be giving some color.

You are an uncle of the country, but you are also a subject of Ming Dynasty.

Since he is a subject of the Ming Dynasty, he must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

The crime of wantonly framing important court officials is definitely not a light one.

Of course, this matter may not kill Zhang Heling, after all, Queen Mother Zhang is still there, and Zhu Houzhao also has a lot of affection for this uncle, but at least it can make Zhang Heling lose a layer of skin and dare not make Xie Shen's idea again.

In history, the downfall of the Zhang brothers was also during the Jiajing period, and the Queen Mother Zhang passed away, so the possibility of pulling out teeth is extremely low.

As long as the Zhang brothers do not rebel, there will be no danger to their lives under the protection of Queen Mother Zhang during the Zhengde Dynasty.

This is the tragedy of the imperial society.

After such an incident, Emperor Zhengde was obviously not in the mood anymore, and returned to the palace under the escort of Gu Dayong and a group of Jin Yiwei.

As for the counterfeit who pretended to be Xie Shen, he was taken to Jinyiwei Prison and tortured severely.

Although he has recruited, but this is Jin Yiwei's process, like a killing stick, it is to kill a murderer with the spirit, so that he is absolutely obedient and obedient.

As for the unlucky general of the Five Cities Army Ma Si, he repeatedly kowtowed to Xie Shen, hoping that Mr. Xie Ge would treat him as a fart.Until Xie Shen left Wangjiang Tower, he still knelt for a long time.

Xie Shen also had no intention of haggling with him, he just lamented that with such eyesight, he deserved to be a small shrimp for the rest of his life.

Back in the mansion, Shui Yun removed his outer shirt for him.

Seeing her master's tired face, Shui Yun brought a basin of hot water and moistened it with a square towel to wipe Xie Shen's face.

"Why did the master come back so late?"

Xie Shen looked at the sky outside the window, it was already pale.

Alas, after tossing for an hour or two, the sky is almost dawn.

"It's hard to say." Xie Shen said bitterly, "I can't sleep anyway, so talk to me."

The two sat on the bedside, chatting without saying a word.

After sitting on the bedside for more than an hour, Xie Shen changed into his official robes under the service of Shui Yun and prepared to go to the cabinet for duty.

Now is not the time to take a rest, and Xie Shen has no other reason, he still has to go to work.

Otherwise, when others asked the reason, did Xie Shen say that going to brothels at night exhausted his energy?

However, after staying up all night, his mental state was really not very good. Taking a nap in the sedan chair, he felt dizzy when he got off the sedan chair. He couldn't help feeling that adequate sleep is still very important.

Although the cabinet is named after Wenyuan Pavilion, in fact, the academicians do not work in Wenyuan Pavilion, but in a row of corridors next to Wenyuan Pavilion.

This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, the cabinet was originally a temporary organization, and the status of the cabinet ministers was not high.Later, although the status of the cabinet gradually increased, and gradually surpassed the six departments and nine temples, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Secretary, the rank of the cabinet bachelor is still the fifth rank.

In the capital where there are so many officials and dignitaries, the fifth-rank official is really not as good as a dog.

Although the official positions of the Ming Dynasty focused on functions rather than ranks, for example, the seven-rank patrolling censor could impeach the officials of the feudal border.But generally speaking, grade is still a symbol of face.

The cabinet bachelor is a minister of the imperial court, and the mere fifth rank is too low.

Therefore, in the later period, most of the cabinet scholars concurrently served as the six ministers to make up for the congenital defect of Wupin.

For example, Yan Song's official title is too long to read.

But at least during the period of Hongzhi and Zhengde, the cabinet scholars did not have the cheek to hold so many official positions.

Of course, there are vain positions like Taishi and Taifu.

The cabinet gallery is a row of low verandas without any comfort.

Spring and autumn are better, but the scorching heat in summer and the severe cold in winter are tormenting people so much that they cannot bear to live.

In addition, most of those who can join the cabinet are already old, and even if the old bones are not falling apart after being tossed like this, the skin will fall off.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the corridor office, he felt the unbearable heat. After sitting down with the hem of his official robe lifted up, a small official respectfully offered herbal tea.

According to Xiao Xiege's old habit, ice cubes have been added to this herbal tea in advance, the taste is very cool, and it can dispel a lot of heat.

Xie Shenwei squinted his eyes and drank a large cup of herbal tea before he felt that the anger in his stomach dissipated a lot, and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you see Mr. Xie Ge and Mr. Li Ge?"

The waiter replied respectfully: "The two elders have gone into the inner palace."

Xie Shen's heart skipped a beat and he thought it was bad.

Could it be that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian knew about the emperor leaving the palace in micro-clothes yesterday, and they went to Xingshi to question the crime?

But when he thought about it, the possibility of this was too low.After all, only a small number of cronies and servants know that the emperor is out of the palace.Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are not power traitors like Yan Song, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to buy eunuchs around the emperor as eyeliner, how can they know everything about the emperor's every move?
Moreover, the emperor was not involved in punishing counterfeit goods last night. Zhu Houzhao finally returned to the inner palace safely without anyone noticing.

In this case, unless Li Dongyang and Xie Qian have clairvoyant eyes and ears, they will never know the whereabouts of the emperor.

Then, the two entering the palace together may just be called by the emperor.

Xie Shen's hanging heart was temporarily relieved, and he couldn't help feeling that it was not easy to be a minister.

Don't look at the magnificent and majestic cabinet bachelor on weekdays, but he is actually a tinkerer.

If there is something wrong with the Ming Empire, the cabinet ministers will have to worry about it.

The mid-Ming Dynasty was fine, but in the late Ming Dynasty the empire was in dire straits.

The emperor only wanted money, as for how to get the money, it was up to the cabinet ministers to find their own way.

If you are not in charge, you don’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Xie Shen used to think that the cabinet scholars are too lazy to govern, but now they realize that they are not lazy but have too many constraints, and it is difficult to roll up their sleeves and let go.

Who doesn't want to leave a name in history, but whether they can do so does not depend on these cabinet ministers, or even on the emperor, but on the faces of scholar-bureaucrats and civil officials.

Alas, sigh.

But that's what happened.
