Chapter 642: The Eunuch Delivers a Message to Prince Yi
The court officials were all secretly making their own plans in their minds.
However, the early morning court is the early morning court.
The Golden Palace of the Jingyue Kingdom is not just a place for petty thoughts, greed, and intrigue.
National affairs and government affairs must be handled as they should be;
If court officials have something to report to the emperor or seek imperial decree, they must proceed as usual.
The Minister of Personnel, Lü Zhenian, stepped out of the court and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Lü Zhenian has a report to the Emperor!"
Emperor Hongde looked down...
Lu Zhenian, an official who served as the Minister of Personnel, had only two sons and one daughter, all of whom were married and had children. The children were still young, so... they must have had nothing to do with the fact that those young ladies were scrambling to go to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain.
Since it has nothing to do with that incident, I think it should be the court affairs.
So, Emperor Hongde said, "Lord Lu, please stand up. I have something to report to you in the palace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Zhenian stood up and handed the memorial in his hand upwards.
Feng Guang walked down from the dragon platform, took the memorial from Lu Zhenian's hand, turned around and walked back to Emperor Hong De and presented the memorial.
Lu Zhenian held up the ivory plate and said, "Your Majesty, the Shuntian Prefecture Court recently tried the case of Leng Xian, the former Marquis of Qinxing, who killed his wife and robbed her property.
On the same day, another tragic case that occurred in the capital many years ago was also tried.
It was a vicious case in which five evil thieves formed a gang and took advantage of their power to bully people, insult people's wives and daughters, kill people, and steal people's property.
Although the case has been tried by the Shuntian Prefecture Court, the evildoer has been brought to justice.
However, some of the elders in their families whom they relied on were officials of the imperial court.
Although they were not tried in the hall of Shuntian Prefecture, they could not escape blame for not educating their adopted son and allowing him to commit crimes, which led to disastrous consequences. They were no longer qualified to be officials of the court.
The Ministry of Justice has investigated his crimes separately and sentenced him to exile with his property confiscated;
The Ministry of Personnel dismissed him from his post and never employed him again.
The Ministry of Personnel has selected suitable personnel to fill the vacant positions.
Today, I have submitted the resumes of the candidates, and I respectfully request your Majesty to make your decision!"
When Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was trying a case, Emperor Hongde was sitting behind a screen on one side of the hall. Emperor Hongde heard everything clearly as the grandfather and grandson of Luo Yun sued Yin Baoye, Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Deng Gui and Wei Feng in court.
At this time, after listening to what the Minister of Personnel Lü Zhenian said, and looking at the contents of the memorial and the resumes of the officials appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, he nodded and said, "There is no need to discuss what Minister Lu Ai has reported. I approve it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command!"
After the Minister of Personnel Lu Zhenian bowed respectfully, he returned to the class of civil officials.
Emperor Hongde handed Lü Zhenian's memorial back to Feng Guang and remained firmly seated on the dragon throne, quietly looking at the civil and military officials standing below without saying a word.
At the same time, Emperor Hong De just wanted to see who would be the "first bird to stand out" today?
The three days when Duke Anguo and his son were away from court were a great opportunity in the eyes of those people, and they would not let it go easily.
Just yesterday at the morning court, there was a commotion and then it died down?
Will it be quiet from now on?
How can it be?
Emperor Hongde waited leisurely to watch the show;
Xiao Jingyu stood there, his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his mouth, as if he was not the one being remembered or targeted;
And those court officials who were thinking in their hearts wanted to wait for someone with the same idea to speak first, light the fire first, and then add fuel to the fire.
There was a brief silence in the Golden Palace again.
The less people speak, the less likely they are to speak first.
The silence continued.
At this time, Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi lifted up the ivory guard and was about to leave the class...
At the same time, he saw out of the corner of his eye that a young eunuch walked in at the door of the Golden Throne Hall.
The young eunuch, holding a whisk and hunched over, entered the palace gate, turned to the side, and walked quickly and silently along the wall to the foot of the dragon platform.
Yu Feng, who had seen him earlier, walked down from the dragon platform to greet him, took a folded paper from his hand, walked back and handed the paper to Emperor Hong De.
Emperor Hong De took it expressionlessly, opened it and took a look, then calmly folded the paper and held it in his hand.
Emperor Hongde looked at his nephew Xiao Jingyi who was standing in the civil officials class, "Jingyi, you seemed to have something to say just now.
I wonder what important matter you have to report to the Emperor?"
Emperor Hongde called out his name directly. Xiao Jingyi walked to the center of the hall with a smile on his face and bowed, "Your Highness: I have something to report.
But I am a little puzzled...
Yesterday at the morning court, many court officials expressed their objections to the Emperor's previous marriage between Brother Yu and Leng Rongyue, the daughter of the former Marquis of Qinxing. Why... suddenly...
Since no one has spoken out about this matter, I guess they feel that it is inappropriate to express any objection to this matter.
In this case, I will first report the Ministry of Revenue to the Emperor."
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi also took out a memorial from his arms and presented it to Feng Guang, who took it and presented it to Emperor Hongde.
Xiao Jingyu's eyes flickered slightly, then became calm again.
Emperor Hongde raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Jingyi with interest until Feng Guang presented the memorial from Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi in front of him, then he raised his hand to take it.
Emperor Hong De withdrew his gaze from Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi, glanced at the memorial, then closed it, still looking at Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi.
