  Chapter 463 A Memorial Makes Waves

When Zhu Ping caught a big fish with his pole, the wind and rain in the capital gradually subsided, and the moist mist permeated the capital. After the rain, the trees, flowers and plants were faintly visible in the mist, as if in a fairyland. .

  At this time, Zhu Ping'an's memorial to the Secretary of Transportation caused a lot of waves before leaving.

At the beginning, Zhu Ping'an's memorial was not conspicuous among the pile of memorials that eulogized meritorious deeds. The left and right councilors of the General Administration Secretary who were in charge of the preliminary trial had become numb. This pile of memorials has been opened more than ten times, so the left and right councilors of the Secretary of General Affairs did not open the inspection one by one and just passed the review.

  The left and right councilors are sorted according to the rank of the officials in the memorial. After arranging the memorials, they will be submitted to Shangfeng for review according to the procedure, and then forwarded to the cabinet after Shangfeng's review.

  There are thirty-eight memorials submitted this time, all of which are sorted according to the level.

"Hey, there is actually a memorial of a sixth-rank official here. Really, why do small officials of the sixth rank join in the fun?" After sorting it out, the Secretary of General Administration, Zuo Counselor, found that the memorial at the bottom was only a sixth-rank official. Surprised more than disdain and ridicule.

  The smallest officials in the memorial reviewed just now are also senior officials of the fourth rank, which is almost the same in the past. Now seeing Zhu Pingan's memorial of the sixth-rank sesame official suddenly, I can't help but feel a little ridiculous.

   During the holidays, according to the usual practice, you six or seven-rank sesame officials will send a congratulatory memorial, that's all.

  Why are you joining in the fun now? Really, I don’t think about my identity.

"It's another one who has sharpened his head and wants to be opportunistic." The right-hand counselor of the General Secretary also shook his head, with a mocking expression on his face, "It seems that every year there are one or two stunned youths who want to use this to take the position, but they don't know This kind of zhezi has gone to sea, and at most it is only a word of "reading", and it will still disappear after all."

  For the left and right councilors, there are almost a few such small official notebooks every year, all of which are written in praise of merit and auspiciousness, and hope to be appreciated and reused by the emperor. However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. This kind of memorabilia has gone to sea, and it is much bigger than your official position. This kind of small official's memorial is like a drop of water falling into the ocean, and it is just a reading when it is sent to the cabinet. All the brochures are drafted without even reading them.

  There have been stunned youths with sweet dreams, but none of them have been promoted because of this, and they have always been flowers in the well.

   "Huh, Zhu Ping'an? This name seems familiar."

   "The names of the officials we saw are all over the place. Maybe it's someone who asked you to."

"That's right, don't care about him, this kind of person, forget it, let him wake up once he hits the south wall." The left councilor shook his head and laughed, then handed the memorial to the clerk beside him, and ordered him to report the memorial Give the general administration history.

  Tongzhengshi is the highest chief executive of the Tongzheng Department, and he is the third rank (in charge of accepting internal and external chapters, filing and refuting matters). When the memorial was delivered, the Tongzheng envoy was working overtime to write Qingci, which was handed down by Mr. Yan Ge, and he had to write it and hand it over to Mr. Yan Ge before leaving get off work today.

   In addition, every time Emperor Jiajing had a feast, there were a bunch of memorabilia below, and there was nothing to pay attention to. Besides, it is also out of trust in the left and right councilors below. The officials below have reviewed it, so I don't have to worry about it. It is still the Qingci explained by the elder Yan Ge that is important. So as soon as this batch of memorials was delivered, the envoy waved his hand and said yes, and asked people to send the registration seal to the cabinet for processing.

  Therefore, Zhu Ping'an's memorial was mixed with this batch of memorials that praised meritorious deeds, was registered in the book, used the seal, and then directly submitted to the cabinet.

  The purpose of registering the memorials is to prevent powerful officials from seizing the memorials without permission. This is the system established when the former Chief Assistant Xia Yan was in office. All memorials submitted to the cabinet must be disposed of by cabinet officials and cannot be withheld without authorization.

  The calm memorial in the General Administration Department caused an uproar in the cabinet.

  The cabinet is not only Yan Song and his few cabinet ministers, but also has some auxiliary officials, and this batch of memorials first arrived in the hands of auxiliary officials.

The previous memorials were all extolling merits and virtues, but when it came to Zhu Pingan's memorials, the officials in charge of inspection were the same as the officials of the General Administration Department. .

   "Oh, Zhu Ping'an's, this is the number one scholar this time, let's see how the number one scholar sings praises." The official in charge smiled and opened Zhu Ping's memorial.

  Just looking at it like this, the smile on the face of the official in charge disappeared, and suddenly became very dignified.

   "Master Dong, what's wrong with you?" Another official was a little curious.

  The official surnamed Dong did not speak, and passed the memorial to the curious official. After the official got the memorial and read it, his face changed all of a sudden.

   There is nothing wrong with impeaching a hundred households, but this involves killing good people and taking meritorious deeds! Moreover, the war involved was still the Gengxu Incident. The war last year was a fresh scar on Daming, and it was also a scar that made Emperor Jiajing lose face.

   In addition, there are many people involved in this war.

  The change of Gengxu caused Daming to lose face, and finally after the Alta soldiers withdrew, the local generals beheaded the heads of more than a hundred Alta soldiers, and Daming saved a little bit of face.

  At least the ruling and opposition parties think so.

   Moreover, the memorial for the beheading of these generals was personally approved by Lord Yan Songyan, the chief assistant of the cabinet. In addition, this matter also involved the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and other departments. In my impression, it seems that there is a direct official of a hundred households who has made great contributions and has been promoted several levels. Uh, maybe it is the one who was impeached.

  Although it is only impeachment of a hundred households, it involves a lot. This is a hot potato.

At this time, Mr. Dong and the others were full of complaints about the officials of the General Administration Department. What does the General Administration Department do? Why did this kind of memorial be uploaded to the cabinet so quickly? To upload to the cabinet, at least enough time must be left.

  Verification, review, proofreading, any excuse of your General Administration Secretary can be suppressed for ten days and a half months.

  That's good for you, you passed on the memorial the day before yesterday!

  No way, the matter was urgent, Mr. Dong and the others didn't dare to delay, they selected Zhu Ping'an's memorial with a sense of fear, and sent it to the cottage where the cabinet ministers were.

  While waiting outside, I heard a faint sound of slapping the table in the room, and Master Dong and the others who were waiting outside were heartbroken by this sound.

   Alas, it's going to be cloudy again!
