Chapter 61
After paying homage to his mother, Cui Podede rode his horse to the Ministry of Works. As soon as he walked outside the office, he heard a fierce noise coming from inside. This rare situation made him slightly stunned, and then he accelerated his pace and entered.
When he entered the lobby of the department, he saw that many of the officials who arrived first gathered to talk about it. Recently, he sent a lot of subordinates to the scene, and they were the center of this discussion.
"Wang Gui, why are you back?" After listening to a few words, he couldn't understand the whole story under the noise. Cui Po asked Wang Gui, the stakeholder standing in front of him.
With his question, the entire hall suddenly became silent for a moment. Seeing that the adjutant of our department had arrived, the minor officials immediately closed their mouths and scattered birds and beasts to return to the books where they handled business affairs to make diligent behavior. This busy scene made Cui Po feel amused.
"Sir, yesterday afternoon, the villain was following the instructions of the elders in Shengdaofang to record the process of making the instrument in the workplace, but suddenly the people from the Ministry of Justice seized the workplace together. Then the men from Dali Temple and the Censorate also arrived. The young man was invited out because he was not an insider in the workplace. This morning, when the young man went to see it again, there were already imperial guards and servants from the Ministry of Justice inside and outside the workplace. The strict supervision was really so strong that he could not pour water in. In desperation, he could only go back to the Ministry of Justice first and ask for instructions on how to deal with this matter." Wang Gui, who had always been timid, hurriedly explained the whole story clearly.
"Yesterday afternoon...so fast?" Cui Po was stunned when he heard this. Seeing this, he had just resigned from Qifeng Pavilion yesterday, and the scene had been blocked. Although it was his original intention to thoroughly investigate the scene's accumulated corruption, the emperor's moves so quickly still surprised him.
"The Ministry of Justice is now in charge of the young master Yan Qingchen of the Crown Prince. Mr. Yan is upright and hates evil like a grudge. The chief of the Censorate, Lord Du, could not rub a piece of sand in his eyes. With these two people here, the good days of those who were in the Chang'an stage are over!" The person who spoke was a ninth rank chief. He was originally an official in the liberated state and was under the jurisdiction of Cui Pozhi, so he did not have much restrained interruption.
"The feng shui turns, and it's time for them to be unlucky. They are all officials with big sesame and green beans, but looking at their houses and food and clothing, even the fifth-rank officials in an idle yamen in the capital are not as good as those in the idle yamen in Beijing. If they don't have any luck, it's really hard tolerate! The court did a great thing this time," responded to the head of Ke, another head of the head of Li, who was directly in charge of the head of Li. He spoke less of his concern and said angrily with hatred.
"The court has its own laws on this matter, and it is useless to make empty talk here. It is more important to do your part. Otherwise, I will really recruit these men here!" Seeing the smell of gunpowder in my words, Cui Po Nai teased and interrupted, then turned his head to command the chief Ke and said, "Old Ke, I can't go out today. Just lead your brothers to sort out the monitoring records in each workshop in the near future, remember that everyone must make rectification suggestions."
When everyone heard what Cui Po said, they burst into laughter and then buried their heads in the pile of official documents in front of them. Only the head still murmured: "So what if you come? I can make a living by my ability. Even if the emperor comes, I don't care!" But his voice was small, and everyone knew that he was of such a temperament, so no one answered.
Cui Po gave his office to Director Ke and others to use, but he went out of the yamen and rode his horse to the door and took his horse to the door.
When he entered the office room where the staff officers worked, Wei Yingwu and four others rushed up and said, "Ha! Mr. Cui is a young talent, indeed, good means and courage."
"Where did you offend me again? Do you want to ridicule me like this?" Cui Po was confused by what he said. He thought everyone was making excuses to kill him, the "suppress". So he smiled and said, "If I have something wrong with you, please bear with me. How about the "Jingfeng Tower" I held a banquet at noon!"
"Look! Brother Cui is still pretending!" After saying this to the other three, the Lu scholar turned his head and said to Cui Po: "Are you not the soldiers and men outside the field in Chang'an City now because of Brother Cui? Why are you hiding such a great and satisfying thing?"
When Cui Po heard this, he was shocked. He didn't want to hide it from others, and he couldn't hide it. However, what happened yesterday afternoon was known to everyone after only one night. This matter was too incredible. When the storm was at the forefront, he was carried out, but the message was really uneasy.
Thinking of this, Cui Po felt alert in his heart, but he asked without showing any slightest expression on his face: "Where did Brother Lu know about this?"
When he asked this, Na Lu was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This is it! As soon as Chen Zao comes, everyone is talking, so I will know." After saying this, he suddenly realized it, and then he looked down and said, "Brother, be careful in the near future!" The other three nodded and responded.
"Thank you brothers for your concern." Cui Po nodded with a smile.
The morning light ended quickly. When the bell of the scattered yamen rang at noon, the few people were unwilling to go out for a banquet. After Cui Po bowed to the four of them, he did not return to the mansion and rode his horse to Cui Youfu's mansion. Who knew that when he came to Tongyifang, he learned that his clan's mansion had not returned until now. After receiving the news from the doorman, Master Cui, the Minister of Works, did not even enter the door, and immediately turned over and rode his horse to the mansion of Yang Yan, a master who was separated by several yards.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Cui Po gave a quick greeting and asked, "Teacher, have a familiar censor..."
Then the two of them moved into the study and had a secret conversation. After about half an hour, Cui Po refused to leave, and rode his horse back home without leaving a meal.
From the afternoon of that day to the third day, Cui Po still went to the ministry to handle official duties as usual. However, whenever he went to the yamen and passed the Imperial Street of the Imperial City, he clearly felt that more and more people were giving advice to him, but when he approached, he remained silent.
On the afternoon of the third day, a bullet stamp from Yu Zhun, the censor in the palace, once again made Cui Po the focus of all temples in the imperial city.
In this fierce memorial, in addition to listing Cui Po's various domineering actions since he entered the officialdom, he also wrote a special book on his recent cheating behavior, bluntly saying that Cui Po relies on the power of Guo Lao Ling and the princess to be disrespectful and domineering. In order to invite the favor, he did not hesitate to fabricate facts and framed the various stages in the capital, intending to delay the creation of military weapons in the court. On this period of the Great Emperor's Day before the end of the year, Cui Po's move was clearly a ulterior motive to smear Daizong and His Majesty's name of politeness. At the end of the memorial, Huozhun was even more righteous and sternly begging the court to support Cui Po Mingzheng in accordance with the crime of "Ten Rebellions", and above comfort the ancestors and below to stabilize all officials.
This memorial directed directly to Cui Po and the Princess, Lao Linggong first caused a huge wave among the senior officials above the third rank. When it was copied and magnified by a man's pen, it suddenly appeared at night where all officials must pass to the yamen. Its influence was quickly amplified with the spread of the officials. In a few days, the merchants in the east and west cities of Chang'an also learned about it. Because it involved the princess, the top scholar and the generation of the heavenly jade pillars, Guo Lao Linggong, who was involved in the princess, the top scholar and the heavenly jade pillar, became very interested in the people in the market and talked all day long.
There was endless discussion. It seemed that the whole of Chang'an had been restless and noisy about this matter overnight. The name of the palace's censor was confirmed and spread to the world overnight. Some people said that he was not afraid of the powerful and powerful; some people said that he was crazy about his reputation in order to seek fame. There were always people who argued about this matter, and there were even those who fought against each other in a disagreement. This incident alone added countless topics of conversation for the people of Chang'an, and greatly increased their interest in the court's political affairs.
Faced with such a horrifying memorial, the debated Political Affairs Hall remained silent as usual and presented it directly to the emperor to punish it. The collective silence of the Political Affairs Hall made the officials of various departments in excitement think about it. On the fourth day, memorials like mountains poured into the Political Affairs Hall. There were those who refuted the correct words with various ideas, and there were also those who supported them. The entire imperial city was already fighting endlessly.
After receiving the memorial from the Political Affairs Hall, Li Shi urgently summoned the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and the Chief of the Dali Temple, he did not make any edicts on this matter. His Majesty's ambiguous attitude triggered a series of chain reactions.
On the seventh day, the first-rank rank magistrate of the dynasty who was over 80 years old and had never left the mansion for half a step, Guo Ziyi, the King of Fenyang, got his own Xunzhang and entered the palace to apologize.
In the afternoon of that day, Princess Shengping abandoned the Luan's carriage and walked into the palace to apologize.
On the morning of the eighth day, Cui Po, one of the key figures in this matter, was a member of the Ministry of Works of the Tang Dynasty, who was the Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty, officially bowed to the "beg for bones" and tried to retire and return home. The words in his memorials were all in a heart-wrenching manner, and every word was crying. Then, under the attention of all officials, he was relieved of his official uniform and returned to the palace to the Jinghou court for punishment.
With the actions of these three people, the impeachment of Cui Po reached its climax. The officials of the imperial yamen who had not received any news were anxiously waiting for the new emperor to issue an edict to deal with the matter, and hoped to use this to see where the new master's intentions were to be found.
