Chapter 507: The Early Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty in the D-shaped Volume
It was the first time for Feng Ziying to participate in this kind of morning court, and she was still a little confused.
Although he had asked Cui Jingrong for advice before, no matter how much he said, he could not cope with this kind of battle. At first glance, he still felt a little guilty and timid.
To be precise, his participation this time cannot be considered as a formal participation, but as a designated participation. It does not mean that his official position has qualified him to participate in the court meeting.
However, such an opportunity is rare. You can observe the operation mode of the entire Zhou Dynasty court at a close distance and see how these court meetings usually report, discuss, decide and execute court affairs.
usually he could hear some plans and discussions on court affairs from Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, but he still didn't know much about how the court meetings were actually carried out.
He didn’t know much about how to carry out cohesion studies with the six ministries and then achieve coordination and unification with the emperor, such as the internal cabinet discussions at court meetings and Wenyuan Pavilion.
And from what he learned, it seems that everything may not have a set pattern, but depends on the situation.
It may be that the six ministries formed an internal opinion on a certain work, reported it to the cabinet for deliberation, and finally reported it to the emperor for approval; it may be that the cabinet had an intention on a certain aspect of the matter and ordered the six ministries to discuss and come up with a plan, and then fed back to the cabinet for deliberation. Then report it to the emperor; it is also possible that the emperor had an idea and ordered the cabinet or the six ministries to study and discuss the plan, and finally come up with countermeasures; it is also possible that a certain emergency was too urgent and was directly brought to the court for study. In short, it was very easy. Complex, there is no fixed customization of how to classify and dispose of them.
A report like the one he may have to personally participate in today is actually an idea that the emperor had (this idea originated from a report from a certain six ministers, and the report from the six ministers was an idea that arose during a specific matter such as counterinsurgency) Reported to the cabinet and the emperor), ordered the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss, and finally came up with a resolution, which was then handed over to the six ministries for investigation, and then fed back to the cabinet, and finally went to the court for deliberation.
This matter procedure is more complicated, but this is also because the matter is too major, complex and difficult, and must be handled by a more careful and rigorous mechanism.
Arrived outside the main hall, dozens of people were already standing noisily outside. Some were walking inside, some were chatting outside the hall, and some were simply looking at the scenery and waiting for the time to go in.
However, it is obviously divided into several square formations.
Several ministers in the cabinet basically entered the hall directly upon arrival. For example, Feng Ziying saw Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji entering, and the surrounding crowd automatically moved out of the way.
For another example, several ministers of the six departments stood casually and leisurely. Naturally, several small circles formed around them, chatting and laughing happily, such as Zhang Jingqiu, Li Sancai and Zheng Jizhi.
There are also some officials who are not important enough to form smaller circles based on people of the same year or from the same hometown, each looking for topics to talk about, which is very lively.
In this way, two or three people can be regarded as a circle, and five or six people can be regarded as a circle.
The people Feng Ziying is familiar with are either too high or too low. The high ones are like Qi Yongtai, who has already entered the palace. The low ones are like his classmates, who are not qualified. They are all a bunch of shujishi or guanzhengjinshi. , that is, Yang Sichang, who practiced state affairs, was not good enough and was not qualified to enter the palace to discuss affairs.
However, he saw Qiao Yingjia at a glance, but Qiao Yingjia was talking to another tall and thin old man at this time, but who else could he be if he wasn't Yang Sichang's father Yang He?
After finally seeing an acquaintance, Feng Ziying couldn't care less. She was surrounded by unfamiliar eyes and strange looks. Although she was not afraid, it was not a feeling. She quickly found a place with acquaintances to resolve this problem. Very embarrassing.
“Ziying has met Master Qiao and Mr. He.” Feng Ziying approached and bowed.
A smile appeared on Qiao Yingjia's face. When Feng Ziying came back, she came to the mansion to hand over the post. However, she had not yet gone to the palace to report official duties, so it was not easy to come to the mansion, so she just sent a post and a gift.
"Well, I'm back. I heard that you were assassinated in Yangzhou? What is Captain Long doing?" Qiao Yingjia nodded, "Xiu Ling only came back a few days before you, so you probably don't know yet, right? "
Feng Ziying shook her head honestly, "It's only been two days since the student came back. He didn't go out yesterday, so he just rested at home. Mr. Huang gave him two days off. He said he would rest at home today, but he never thought that Mr. Cui would come to inform him that today Students also have to participate in the court meeting. Mr. He has been away for a long time. Is he still in good health? How are Mr. Chai and my father doing?"
Yang He's eyes were a little more mixed with appreciation and satisfaction, as well as some other complex expressions.
Wen Ruo mentioned it many times when he came back. Although he admitted that the other party was indeed talented, he was still somewhat unconvinced.
"Well, your health is not bad, and so are your father and Brother Zishu. Your father went to Shazhou not long before I left and met Liu Dongyang. That Bu Shitu also came to Ganzhou specifically to visit Brother Zishu and Brother Zishu. Your father,..."
Yang He sighed with emotion, "The tiger father has no dog son. Ziying, you have gained a lot from your trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Today's meeting between the emperor and the ministers is specifically to discuss the results of your investigation, in conjunction with Kaihai's debt raising , set a strategy, and we will act accordingly in the future.”
“Mr. He is too flattering. This investigation south is entirely due to Mr. Cui’s efforts. We are just doing trivial work with Jiwei...”
“Look, Brother Rujun, you have taught your disciples well. No wonder Cui Ziqiang and Ming Zhong are full of praise for Ziying.”
Yang He was envious. Having such a disciple made up for the regret of Qiao Yingjia's two less accomplished sons. It's no wonder that Qiao Yingjia put all his thoughts on this disciple.
Qiao Yingjia was greatly relieved, but on the surface he had to pretend to be indifferent, "Xiu Ling, don't praise it too much. These young people are still far behind. They need to polish and settle for a few years, and I think Wen Wenwei is so weak." In the past six months, there have been many excellent comments in "Internal Reference", and Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War is very optimistic about it."
According to convention, "Internal Reference" is not allowed to publish signed articles by serving officials, but it can publish articles anonymously and can also sign comments.
Each issue of "Internal Reference" will have a special section that publishes incisive short comments selected from the comments on the previous issue of "Internal Reference" articles, which can also be regarded as a response to the article in the previous issue.
Yang Sichang himself was quite talented in literature. In addition, he was stimulated by Feng Ziying's praise for his Western expedition to suppress the rebellion. Even in the Hanlin Academy, he paid great attention to military affairs. The column "Military Observation" in "Internal Reference" was a must-have for every article written by Yang Sichang. Read it, and you must write a review after reading it. There are quite classic words in it, and it has also been praised by Zhang Jingqiu.
Hearing Qiao Yingjia's praise of his son, Yang He couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.
Praising his son like this made him feel better than praising himself. Qiao Yingjia only had one good disciple, but he was a good son. That was still different.
Seeing these two people "complimenting" each other's juniors, and both looking happy, Feng Ziying was quite speechless. One was a fourth-rank official, and the other was a third-rank official. They were just outside Fengtian Hall, and they were not afraid of the people around them. joke.
As a junior, he could only stand aside and wait patiently.
Finally, he saw a few more "heretics" wearing scarlet robes. Feng Ziying thought they were Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and others, but when he looked again, he didn't recognize them. After a second look, he saw that they were Xiezhi's men, who were obviously from The six subjects are all given to those in charge.
Although they are only in the seventh grade of Pinyi, which is one level lower than themselves, they are special beings and still have to participate in court meetings.
After waiting patiently for a while, she finally saw Wu Liangsi appear. Feng Ziying then confessed to Qiao Yingjia and Yang He, and ran over in a hurry. Only when she got together with the lower-level people in scarlet robes could she feel this way. It will be a little more balanced.
At this time, people around him had a rough idea of who Feng Ziying was.
It is actually not difficult to guess that the authorized personnel below the fourth rank official who can go to the palace are the few people who went to Jiangnan this time. Wei Guangwei and Wu Liangsi knew a lot of people, but Feng Ziying was an unfamiliar face.
Although Feng Ziying was very famous in the past, he was not qualified to go to court, and he usually either hunkered down in the Hanlin Academy, or went directly to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet with the elders, or even went to the Sixth Department, which also directly met with the big guys. Departments such as the Imperial Procuratorate, General Administration Department, Dali Temple, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Zhanshi Mansion, and the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion are rarely seen and basically unknown to them.
However, everyone knows that Feng Ziying’s candidate is Qiao Yingjia, and his teacher is Qi Yongtai. With such a strong relationship, ordinary people would look at him sideways, not to mention that this son was not only favored by the emperor in the palace examination, but also came to the West Expedition. He made great contributions to the rebellion, and the strategy of opening up the sea had a lot to do with this person. There are rumors that the strategy of opening up the sea was not initiated by Chai Ke, but was suggested by Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying could feel that the unknown officials around her were starting to turn their attention to her, and the targets of the whispers were definitely her. Fortunately, with Wu Liangsi and Wei Guangwei as cover, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
As the inspection of dental plaques began, the officials began to enter the palace one after another, and Feng Ziying and the three of them also quietly arrived at the end. There were rules for who stood in this palace, and people like me who were not allowed to enter the palace were allowed to enter. The people in the palace basically stand at the end and do not line up with their own departments.
Along with the crisp sound of the bead curtain and the sound of footsteps, I heard the voice of the chamberlain with a metallic vibrato: "The Emperor has arrived."
