Why was there an imperial edict?
It couldn't be another imperial edict to reward, right?
If it was a reward, who would be rewarded this time?
Thinking of this, many officials puffed their chests out.
Under the expectant gazes of countless people, Feng Zhong opened the third imperial edict.
"In accordance with Heaven's will, the Emperor issued an edict saying: The pursuit of governance lies in the officials who are close to the people, who are honest and honest, who teach loyalty and encourage capital, who are respectful and sincere, and who are praised and praised. Left Prime Minister Yu Qian, for disrespecting your father…"
The meaning of the imperial edict was that the former Left Prime Minister, Yu Qian, had been thrown into the imperial prison for disrespecting the Emperor and offending his superiors. Later on, Yu Qian had deeply reflected on his actions. In addition, considering his hard work and meritorious service, the Emperor had expressed that he would forgive him this time and give Yu Qian a chance to turn over a new leaf…Of course, it was impossible for him to be restored to his original position. He could only demote Yu Qian to take over the position of Minister of Personnel first and see how it worked!
When Feng Zhong finished reading the imperial edict, all the civil and military officials were shocked.
Li Yan, who was standing at the head of the table, looked at Zhao Zheng with a cold expression.
Now, smart people understood what the first two imperial edicts meant.
It was clearly a reward, but in fact, it was to move Yu Qian's position!
The Minister of Personnel Affairs!
That was the head of the six tribes!
He held the authority to assess all officials.
Although he wasn't as good as the Prime Minister, he wasn't far off.
If this seat fell to the stubborn old Yu Qian, the court would be lively in the future!
More importantly, not only did the Emperor absolve Yu Qian of his sins, but he also placed Yu Qian in such an important position as the Minister of Personnel. His intentions were really unfathomable!
There were also many officials who secretly looked at Li Yan.
Almost everyone in the imperial court knew about the feud between Li Yan and Yu Qian. Yu Qian was almost beheaded by Li Yan.
Now that Yu Qian had revived and was about to return to the court, what would the powerful Prime Minister Li do?
Everyone looked over and saw Li Yan's indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Only a few people saw Li Yan's fingers move behind his back.
Behind Li Yan was the Minister of Revenue, Yu Cheng, who was also promoted by Li Yan.
Seeing his boss's actions, the Minister of Revenue immediately stepped forward.
"This subject Yu Cheng reports to the emperor. This subject thinks that the emperor's actions are inappropriate. Yu Qian is a guilty person, how can he steal from the court? I beg the emperor to retract his order!”
Seeing the Minister of Revenue jump out to object, Zhao Zheng just sat on the dragon throne and did not say anything.
Because he knew that Yu Cheng was not the only one who opposed it.
As expected, as if he had received a signal, another censor jumped out as soon as Yu Cheng spoke.
"Reporting to the emperor, I also think that Yu Qian is not worthy of a high position. His subordinates offending his superiors cannot be exempted by just a sentence of turning over a new leaf. If this is the case, others will compete to imitate him and it will really damage the reputation of the Tian family.”
Following that, the assistant ministers, censors, and the others all stood out to oppose Zhao Zheng's imperial decree.
At a glance, half of the civil and military officials opposed Yu Qian taking over the position of Minister of Personnel.
And these people, needless to say, were all members of the Yan Party.
From this, one could see Li Yan's power in the court.
Zhao Zheng was expressionless, but he felt that Li Yan had to be eliminated as soon as possible!
Fortunately, not all of the people in the court were Li Yan's men.
Otherwise, Zhao Zheng would have to consider the consequences if he wanted to touch Li Yan.
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're the emperor.
If the court was filled with Li Yan's men, Li Yan could make the emperor a puppet with just a single order!
In the history of China, there were powerful officials who could do this.
For example, Huang Fugui could almost abolish the emperor and become independent!!
……
"You guys are talking nonsense!"
A young censor stood out and scolded angrily,"Yu Xianggong has worked hard and made great contributions. He is also the emperor's teacher. Since he has the intention to change, why can't he be reinstated? Since the Emperor has already issued an edict, as officials, you should follow the edict. Now, you are forcing the Emperor to retract the order. What are your intentions?”
This young censor was probably someone who had exterminated the party in the past. Otherwise, he would not have jumped out to speak up for Yu Qian at this moment.
Following that, two more censors stepped forward to speak up for Yu Qian.
And then…
There was nothing else!
From this, it could be seen that under the suppression of the Yan Party, the days of the Qing Party were not easy.
There were only two or three people who spoke up for Yu Qian, and they were all insignificant censors. There was not a single person with real power...
Compared to the Yan Party, they were miles apart.
