Chapter 1398 The Faint Empress 21
Xining slept soundly that night, and was indeed tired.
As soon as I slept until dawn, I was called.
"Your Majesty..., Your Majesty..." He lowered his voice in a loud voice, wanting to scream but not daring to scream.
"Shouting soul~" She turned over irritably and continued to sleep.
After a while, someone said cautiously again: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
Xining opened his eyes suddenly: "What time is it?"
The head manager stood in front of the bed, still holding the whisk in his hand, and saw the wry smile on his face through the gauze curtain: "It's four quarters."
"Ah?!" She jumped up and hurriedly put on her shoes: "Quick, quick!"
A group of waiting ladies came up one after another and began to help with dressing, washing, and combing hair.
"No hurry, no hurry!" The chief executive comforted: "There's still time, it doesn't hurt to let those ministers wait."
Anyway, they are used to it. They waited for a long time before, but there are too many things waiting for the imperial court.Going to Changxin Hall yesterday has already made those veterans overjoyed.
It is said that Da Sima prayed to the late emperor for lighting incense; and Da Sikong went back to drink a little wine to celebrate and eat an extra bowl of rice.Those old ministers proclaimed everywhere that His Majesty actually came to Changxin Hall to inquire about political affairs, and his elation was no less than that of winning a battle at the frontier.
Looking at what the body master has done, this emperor is too comfortable.
It was too late to have breakfast, but fortunately the chief manager had rice porridge prepared in advance, he drank a few sips indiscriminately, and then got on the dragon chariot and carried him to the main hall.
Barely catching up, after sitting down, the eunuch in charge shouted loudly: "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."
According to the past, it is generally not said.Anyway, send the zhezi to the Changxin Hall afterwards, and let the assistant ministers of the Sangong and Jiuqing discuss it.If you come across someone who is brainless, if you come forward to play, you will be fooled by the body master.
It's still the same routine, "let this matter go for now, let me think about it and then decide." After being perfunctory, it was still discussed in the Changxin Palace.
In order to show that the empress was really in charge, Da Sima actually came out and began to report.
After all, Da Sima is also an old fox in court, and what he played was what was discussed yesterday.
"Tengxiang Pavilion is suspended, and 150 million silver has been re-entered into the national treasury. Regarding the repair of the river embankment, I drafted a draft according to His Majesty's will, and asked to send it back for re-examination. Please read it, Your Majesty!" Da Sima took out a booklet from his sleeve , with both hands.
The eunuch in charge stepped forward, took the paperwork, raised his hands, ran up the steps, knelt down and handed it to the empress sitting on the dragon chair.
Xi Ning picked up the booklet, opened it, went through it quickly, and nodded: "All the things discussed yesterday are written down, let's do it."
Put the booklet on the desk in front and wait for the next one.
Seeing this, the other Sangong and Jiuqing took out their Zhazi one after another.
After listening to another question, Xining frowned slightly: "There is no need to discuss what was discussed yesterday. Is there anything else?"
When Sangong Jiuqing heard this, he was anxious.The empress was really good yesterday, but who knew it was just a flash of inspiration.There are many and complicated things in the court, so it's fine if you don't make a decision, don't make a wrong judgment, it will be ridiculous.
One person came out and reported the opening ceremony.
The imperial examination is held every three years, but it has been five years since the empress ascended the throne, and it has not been held once.
This matter is mentioned every year, but there is no result every year.In the first three years, we could use the national funeral as an example, but this time it had to be held.
After hearing this, Xi Ning immediately replied: "The examination is the foundation of the country. It is my fault that it has not been held for many years. It is spring now, so the examination will be held this year."
The township examination is in August in autumn, so it is also called Qiuwei.When the list was released, it was just when the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, so it was also called Guibang.
The general examination is held in the second year of the rural examination, and the examination period is in February in spring, so it is called Chunwei.
She thought for a while: "This year's time is too short, and next year we will add another one, so that more students will have the opportunity to stand out and serve the country."
All the ministers immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
They are also happy in their hearts. Most of the descendants of officials and officials study sage books hard. If they get fame, it will also bring honor and face to the family.
Now let’s hold the exam for two consecutive years. If you fail the exam, study hard for another year, and then take the exam. If you continue to take the exam, you will have more chances to pass the exam.
In the past five years, the appointment of officials was entirely based on the empress's preferences, and she was directly given to Doctor Guanglu after a face-to-face.However, the position that really needs talents is supported by a few old ministers who are too old to meet their ambitions.
Fortunately, these veterans are all in good health. Except for the death of the Taifu, the others are still alive.Otherwise, if one dies, there will be one less person to share the matter.
Hearing the empress's judgment, some ministers boldly came forward to report.It is said that in a previous case, a county magistrate sued the county magistrate for corruption of ink, dereliction of duty, and disregard for human life.
Later, it was found out that the county magistrate wanted to take the county magistrate's emptiness and falsely accused the county magistrate.
But now there is another news, saying that the reason is that the county magistrate saw that the concubine of the county magistrate was beautiful and was taken over...
"Okay, okay!" Xining was tired of hearing, what a mess.
And the censor also expressed her thoughts: "What kind of mess, this is the court, and this kind of thing can still be used. Just ask the prefect to find out."
The official immediately said: "If it is an ordinary matter, naturally I dare not bring it to the court, and disturb your majesty and all the ministers and workers. At this time, the magistrate did investigate, but the witnesses and material evidence were all unexpected, and the county magistrate countered. According to the evidence, he was sentenced to deprivation of fame and five years of hard labor. The county officials shouted for grievances. But he is quite popular in this county, and the people signed a petition of hundreds of people, demanding to investigate the matter and return the county officials. "
"Hehe, interesting!" Xining sneered, "What do you mean by accidental witnesses? This incident of property destruction and death happened right under the eyes of the officials? Investigate, thoroughly investigate, and the governor will go there today. Weng Yushi and Captain Zhang Qing will patrol the case and jointly investigate the matter."
Weng Yushi dared to report everything, while Zhang Qing was famous for being good at handling cases.If they handle it, the case will definitely come to light.
Someone immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, Zhang Qing has been sent to investigate the theft case in Bian County, Kyoto."
Yeah, yeah, there were a lot of burglaries there.
Xi Ning thought for a while: "Then call out the three officers from the surrounding area to handle the case together."
Li is a small local official, smaller than the county magistrate, equivalent to a county minister.But he is very familiar with the local area, and usually needs to handle cases and resolve disputes.Three Li Zheng, should be able to stand up to a cobbler.
In addition, if the county magistrate is sacked, the position will be vacant, and evidence must be dug up for whatever he says.I have sued the Empress, even if the county magistrate is really falsely accused, there must be benefits if this matter can be settled.
So the ministers shouted again: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Xining breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no objection.I like to hear this sentence the most, it is stronger than "ministers seconded".
