After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 138 Proclamation
"Ting Yi Chao Ji" comes from the pen of a historian, and there may be some differences in details, but it is rarely biased.

According to the official historian's records, Lin Motang scolded Emperor Xingrui severely during the court meeting before he was beheaded on the spot.

But it was precisely because this sentence came from the historian's pen that Ye Qinghuai felt even more strange.

First of all, Lin Motang became the servant of the Ministry of Punishment in less than [-] years old, so he must be a well-educated person.Not to mention abiding by the etiquette and law, at least the basic principles of the way of the monarch and his ministers must be understood.

How could such a person yell at the emperor at the court meeting?

Secondly, Lin Motang died in the 21st year of Xingrui, not the first year of Xingrui.It shows that he is not an old minister left over from the previous dynasty, but was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Xingrui.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment of the third grade holds real power, and Emperor Xingrui must have placed high hopes on him when he was placed in that position.

For such a courtier, Emperor Xingrui cut him off immediately because he scolded him at the court, which is also unimaginable.

Ye Qinghuai read the records in "Ting Yi Chao Ji" again.

"The king of Beidu was executed in the 12th year of Xingrui. Why did Lin Motang anger the emperor's grandfather because of his affairs nine years later?" Ye Qinghuai murmured puzzled.

What answered her was Li Baoquan's silence.

Although it is approaching May, the Wenyuan Pavilion in Zishi is still a bit chilly. The unique smell of books and ink is mixed with the smell of dust, as if the passing years are silent in this high pavilion, and no one is there. Ask about.

Ye Qinghuai raised her hand to caress the pages of the book in front of her, her expression suddenly sank.

Then, there was a sound of "哧——", "Ting Yi Chao Ji" recorded the record of Lin Motang being sentenced to death, together with the words that Emperor Xingrui ordered Lin's descendants not to enter the court as officials, they were all captured by Ye Qinghuai torn off.

Li Baoquan was startled.

History is like iron.It stands to reason that even the emperor is not qualified to change historical materials.

"Li Baoquan, bring the candle in your hand closer, I can't see clearly." Ye Qinghuai said.

Li Baoquan paused, and handed the candlestick in his hand to Ye Qinghuai.

The flames flickered, reflecting Ye Qinghuai's calm face, as still as still water.

She brought the torn-off paper close to the candle, and the paper immediately ignited, and quickly turned into ashes.

Ye Qinghuai let go of her hand.The paper with flames fell to the ground.

"Li Baoquan, clean this place up."

After speaking, Ye Qinghuai didn't even look at it again, turned around and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, her figure disappeared into the dark night.

In the early morning of the next day, after Wen Xinzhong reported the list of Chun Wei, Ye Qinghuai said: "Su Hongwei, draw up a list of Jinshi distribution according to this list, and hand it over within five days for me to have a look."

After finishing speaking, she specifically asked: "I have checked all kinds of historical materials about Lin Yuxiu yesterday. Emperor Xingrui was just an angry statement back then, and there is no record in the historical materials, so there is no need to take it seriously. His appointment is still according to what I said yesterday. said plan."

Ye Qinghuai spoke resolutely, with an uncompromising tone.

Several cabinet ministers standing in the forefront exchanged glances with each other, but no one was the first to speak out against it.

In the end, Chen Yuansi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, after the selection of scholars in Chunwei is planned and assigned by the Ministry of Officials, it should be handed over to the cabinet to make a decision according to the situation of each department, and then report to Your Majesty."

An imperceptible smile flashed across Ye Qinghuai's gloomy eyes.

Ye Qinghuai expected Chen Yuansi not to mention Lin Yuxiu.

Ever since Gu Shihai was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice has become the backyard of the Gu family, and Chen Yuansi can't even get in. Now that he has a chance to take the Ministry of Justice out of Gu Shihai's hands, he will naturally not let it go.

Even though Lin Yuxiu's political strategy is quite different from Chen Yuansi's, it will take some time for Lin Yuxiu to gain a firm foothold in the court and be able to display his ambitions.

What will happen during this time, no one can tell.

After all, scholarly spirit will not work in officialdom.

On the other hand, on Gu Shihai's side, for Chen Yuansi, the only chance to pry open the iron plate of the Ministry of Punishment is this time.

If one had to choose an opponent between Gu Shihai and Lin Yuxiu, Chen Yuansi would never choose the former.

Ye Qinghuai was certain of this and announced the matter in the morning.

"Old Chen Ge is right. Su Hongwei, after you draft it, submit it to the cabinet first." Ye Qinghuai quickly let go.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is currently in chaos, but the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has hired a new person." Gu Shihai sneered, and said, "There is still one month left, and the state governments will report the case file for review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice this autumn. How about a scholar who has never seen the file to check the case?"

There was a tinge of yin and yang in his words, and it was hard to hide his anger.

Ye Qinghuai didn't change his face, and continued to say to him: "Mr. Gu Ge, I'm afraid you have forgotten that the head of the Criminal Ministry is now you, the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry, and Lin Yuxiu is just a servant of the Criminal Ministry. Can he understand it in a month? Dossier, it depends on how well Gu Ge teaches."

After finishing speaking, seeing Gu Shihai's increasingly sullen expression, Ye Qinghuai was completely unmoved, and said again: "Of course, if he is really not a talent to be taught, Mr. Gu Ge can also ask me to change to a servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

Hearing Ye Qinghuai's words, the anger on Gu Shihai's face immediately subsided a lot. He frowned and looked at Ye Qinghuai, as if he wanted to see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Even Chen Yuansi looked at her, and the puzzled look in his eyes seemed to be vaguely blaming Ye Qinghuai for making a foolish move.

After all, as Gu Shihai is Lin Yuxiu's immediate boss, it is too convenient for him to wear small shoes.Lin Yuxiu knew nothing about the smear in the officialdom, so it was easy to be picked out.

Gu Shihai can find a reason to replace him.

Ye Qinghuai's supplementary sentence is simply contradictory, throwing stones at the feet.

But the expression on her face was extremely determined, without a trace of panic.

"Does Elder Gu have any objections to the appointment of the Minister of Justice?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Gu Shihai's expression changed several times, and finally he bowed his head and said: "I have no objection."

"Okay." Ye Qinghuai ended the topic briefly, then looked at the officials and said, "I still have two things to tell all the officials."

Everyone in the court hall looked up at the emperor.

The emperor was so solemn, presumably he had something important to announce.

"Firstly, from now on, all important officials above the third rank can submit secret orders to me through the inner court. The secret orders do not need to go through the cabinet, they can be directly handed over to Li Baoquan." Ye Qinghuai said.

As soon as she said this, there was an uproar in the hall.

Without waiting for anyone to refute, Ye Qinghuai announced the second thing: "Secondly, I want to announce that the chief envoys and procuratorial envoys of the nine state government offices will come to Beijing to report on their duties in turn."
