Chapter 508 Conscience
Zhang Changzong concealed Xue Chongjian's incident and no one told me what to say.
In Zhang Changzong's opinion, it is not a big deal. At most, the bad boy's rebellious period comes a little late, and he can't make a turn. Anyone who passes the second grade knows that the disease of the second grade is more magical when he gets it, and it's quite inexplicable when he recovers. Maybe it's better to have a sleep. It doesn't have to experience great sorrow and joy to get better. Sometimes, if you talk too much, it will be a bad thing. Moreover, Zhang Changzong doesn't want to disappoint the New Year.
After the fifteenth, all departments of the court had just resumed work. As expected, as the uncles said, in order to grant officials a glimpse of the title of officials, the imperial censor Cui Li and the crown prince Zhongyun Xue Zhaosu made a message to the emperor.
Cui Lidao: "Report to Your Majesty, all the slanted officials are now decided by the imperial edict of the late emperor. Now that Your Majesty is exempted, it is afraid that it will arouse public anger."
Xue Zhaosu also said: "Your Majesty, all the officials who were granted by the late emperor's imperial edicts. Your Majesty has been dismissed. Isn't it a way to reveal the faults of the late emperor to the world? Regarding the reputation of the late emperor... Please think twice."
Zhang Changzong stood up and glanced at the two of them. He knew that the two were begging Princess Taiping. So, does the mother-in-law know about the advice of these two people?
Zhang Changzong Ji saw Princess Taiping sitting there, and there was no strange color on her face. Most of these oblique officials came from Anle. The two princesses of Changning, and Princess Taiping had no one. It was impossible. She, a princess, wanted to win over people and naturally showed people the actual benefits. If it were not for the sake of the benefit, how many people could come to her!
My thoughts were turned in my heart, and I heard Li Dan on the imperial throne, and without asking the prince, I asked Princess Taiping first: "A sister, what do you think about this?"
Princess Taiping said calmly: "The emperor's brother, the matter of separating the official was a matter of Empress Wei who made a mistake in order to get power and seize power. The official position was clearly marked and the court was lost. The emperor's brother is now the emperor, and it is a matter of rectifying the chaos. However, the separating official involves many people, not all of them are useless people, and there are also talents among them. If you beat him to death with a stick, there will always be dissatisfaction. What is the point of being a subject? What is the prince's opinion?"
Finally, he asked the prince.
Li Longji looked thoughtful and said, "What the father, Censor Cui and Xue Zhongyun said is true, but the salary of the Beijing officials comes from the treasury. At present, the salary of so many slanted officials is overwhelmed by the treasury. This is one of them; the court has taken scholars and has the imperial examinations. After high school, it must be selected by the four-class teams. After the disciples and the two provinces of the Central Secretariat can only be appointed. This is a rule of history. If the slanted officials are given only to be used, wouldn't it tell the people of the world that studying is better than having money? Wealth can get official positions, and how many people can still study hard? If this goes on, the court will be filled with people, so how can the imperial court be majestic and credible?"
This is well said, and it is up to the point!
Not only Zhang Changzong thought so, all the knowledgeable people in the court had a look of approval. Yao Yuanzhi and Song Jing even raised the tablet directly: "The prince's words are reasonable, I will discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I also agree!"
...
Hula, a group of people stood up to express their support for the prince.
Zhang Changzong thought about it, but couldn't help but raise the tablet. Princess Taiping's eyes were sharp. Seeing that he wanted to speak, he immediately asked, "What advice does Shimao have?"
Zhang Changzong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, knowing that his mother-in-law had good intentions and could not call him a nickname in the court. However, every time he was called this word, he habitually said to the Double Tower in his heart. By the way, he published an article in the quarterly issue, and the alias he used was the Double Tower.
Cough... Go back to the point. Zhang Changzong raised his tablet and said, "The prince's words are actually the words of old and successful in planning the country, and I also agree with it."
After saying that, he lowered his head and said, he didn't dare to look up at his mother-in-law's face. He was obviously a princess, but he actually supported the prince... However, the slightest seal of the official position really cannot be opened.
While Zhang Changzong was so distressed, he lowered his head and continued, "The affairs of the present are actually the examples of future generations. When you take scholars and serve as officials, the court has its own laws and examples. It is easy to destroy and difficult to build. As the prince said, once this example is opened, how can the country still serve the country? Please think twice!"
The court has been in chaos for so many years, and no matter how chaotic it is, no matter how chaotic it is, no one has to play with it!
That's what Zhang Changzong meant.
What he said was so happy. Li Dan frowned and seemed to be unable to make up for a moment. Princess Taiping had a calm face and seemed a little unhappy.
In the prime minister, Xiao Zhizhong and other princesses looked at Zhang Changzong in amazement, and then at Princess Taiping, as if they were a little confused. Song Jing's expression was also a little strange, but Yao Yuanzhi, the old god, was standing on the ground, holding a tablet to express his support for the prince and Zhang Changzong's words.
Li Longji didn't look at his aunt's expression, lowered his head and laughed silently, so he said that Zhang Changzong is a very interesting person.
For a moment, everyone from the Princess Party looked at Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping smiled faintly and nodded: "What Shimao said makes sense, so please make sure that the emperor brother decides."
Then, everyone looked at Li Dan on the throne. Li Dan looked at Princess Taiping and the prince again. After a long time of confusion, he actually said: "This matter will be put on hold for the time being. We will discuss it tomorrow and leave the court."
Then, he turned around and got off the imperial throne and went back to the harem.
Only then did Zhang Changzong dare to look up at his mother-in-law. As a result, Princess Taiping became deeper now. She didn't even look at him. She just nodded gently to the courtiers who saluted her and went down to face her.
Zhang Changzong felt a little miserable and didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly chased him out. As soon as he left the Golden Palace, he was stopped by a young eunuch: "General Zhang, General Zhang, please stay."
Zhang Changzong was busy chasing people. Although he was anxious, he still stopped: "What's the matter? My father-in-law is from which palace? Why did he call me?"
The eunuch ran over panting and saluted respectfully: "I am Gao Lishi from the Prince's East Palace. I have seen General Zhang."
"Galis?!"
Zhang Changzong was stunned for a moment. Even a famous Gao Lishi, even a poor history scholar, had heard of it. He nodded and said, "So you are Eunuch Gao. I have heard of Daqi for a long time and don't know why I call me?"
Gao Lishi was very modest and did not look like a great eunuch who would dominate the world in the future. He smiled and said, "I will give General Zhang medicine at the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"medicine?!"
He is not sick again and has always been a healthy baby. Why did Li Longji give him medicine?!
Zhang Changzong looked inexplicably and took the small porcelain bottle handed over by Gao Lishi, opened it and smelled it... Damn it, this is the golden sore medicine!
Zhang Changzong felt sore in an instant, but he had to smile and thank him, although his smile seemed like a toothache: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Gao told the prince, just to tell the prince's kindness. Zhang appreciated it, but there was no need for golden sore medicine! Zhang had something to do, so I'll say goodbye first!"
As he said that, he threw the golden sore medicine back to Gao Lishi and strode.
