Chapter 95 Yang Zan
"Go up to Yuzhongtai, and all the officials will come out of the palace to welcome His Majesty."

There was a call from the servants outside Shangshutai, and the people in Taichung heard it clearly. Liucao Shangshu, the left and right ministers, and dozens of Shangshulang stopped what they were dealing with, and followed the order. walked out.

It was also the first time for them to see the emperor's chariot at Shangshutai since the new emperor ascended the throne. Shang Shulang who had just entered the palace was still at a loss, but Shangshu Yang Zan, Zheng Gongye and others were also veterans of several dynasties. Although they were a little surprised, they were very surprised. Quickly reacted.

Shangshu Yang Zan, Zheng Gongye and others bowed to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is here."

At this moment, the emperor's car was put down in time, Zhang Ming opened the car door, and was about to get off the car, Feng Che Duwei Wang Bin went to help His Majesty in time, Zhang Ming also understood his thoughts, and with his support Down went down.

"Zhi said: Get up." This sound was said by Cui Ming, and His Majesty entrusted him to handle all such matters.

Then these Liucao Shangshu, Zuocheng, and Shang Shulang all stood up and stood on both sides.

Then Zhang Ming took Cui Ming, followed the eunuchs, Huangmen servants and others, and walked in. After entering the Shangshu desk, at a glance, there were bamboo slips piled up on all the tables, big and small, and some silk and silk. , Presumably these are the official memorials.

Zhang Ming didn't look at the content of the memorial, but saw the innermost and centered position, which must be the position of Shang Shuling, and he sat there without any explanation, with the eunuchs on the left and right.Then Shang Shu and others also came into Taichung and stood side by side.

"I'm here for a routine inquiry, and there is no important matter to explain. You can go to your respective positions and continue to give instructions. Just leave the Six Cao Shangshu," Zhang Ming said.

After hearing His Majesty's words, these ministers did not leave directly. Instead, they first looked at the Liu Cao Shangshu standing in front, and seeing that they had no objections, they returned to their positions and continued to give instructions.

"I remember that the memorials here were all written by the ministers first, and then handed over to me for preview. Why are there so many memorials here, but so few have reached my hands?" Zhang Ming was surprised by this, and asked with some doubts road.

If Zhang Ming hadn't arrived at Shangshutai today, he wouldn't have known that there were so many memorials here, but the memorials that reached him were less than one-fifth of those here.

The ministers looked at each other, and then Yang Zan stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, although there are many memorials here, most of them are useless, so they have already been disposed of here, and will not disturb your majesty. "

What Yang Zan said was not unreasonable, but Zhang Ming didn't know that the former emperor Liu Hong seldom dealt with these political affairs at that time, and later in Dong Zhuo's era, no one cared about these things. Today, a fixed habit has been formed, that is, these ministers will deal with the specific affairs of the memorial first, and then hand over to His Majesty what they think is important.

But if this is the case, whether those memorials are valuable or not, depends entirely on the decision of the ministers, and the emperor becomes a decoration instead. Of course, this approach has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that for the emperor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Under this system, the emperor has very few affairs to deal with. He is responsible for entertainment and playing most of the time every day. After all, these ministers come to power on time and go home on time every day. The world is so big, how much has it to do with them, not to mention that although they have great power, their salaries are low, and their salaries are not as good as those of some big county magistrates, so every day Most of them dawdle.

Faced with this situation for the first time, Zhang Ming was not sure. On the one hand, if he wanted to watch all the memorials, let alone whether he could finish them. Anyway, he would definitely die from exhaustion. After the prime minister, he reviewed more than 200 memorials and dealt with more than 400 state affairs every day. He was as exhausted as Ming Taizu, but he would not be reconciled if the ministers were allowed to decide which memorials were valuable and which were not.

"Everyone has worked hard," Zhang Ming said.

Zhang Ming hasn't thought of a good solution for the time being, so he plans to put the matter on hold.But soon he remembered another thing, that is, more than half of the memorials passed to the palace recently asked to deal with Li Ru. Confucianism, it turned out that Shangshu picked out these memorials.

"Everyone, you don't need to show me the memorials about the helpless things Li Shizhong did when he followed Dong Zhuo in the future." Zhang Ming said, since he had promised to keep Li Ru, he would not break his promise, not to mention that he would look at it. Annoying, those words are always the wheels of the car, without any meaning.Moreover, at this critical moment, Li Ru's value is not small, he is very familiar with Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Yang Zan didn't realize that His Majesty came here today to stand out for Li Ru. You must know that he asked Shang Shulang to pick out all the memorials about Li Ru. Of course, this was not his own idea, but from Luoyang. The unified thought of the relocated family.

The Hongnong Yang family also served as a minister in Luoyang for more than dozens of years. The land, property, and houses purchased in Luoyang were completely burned by Luoyang. Moreover, it took less than half a year to move from Luoyang to Chang'an. There is still a lot of hatred for Li Ru, the instigator. Although everyone knows that the real executor of burning Luoyang is Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is dead after all.As for killing King Chen Liu with poison, it was just an excuse for them to cover up their real purpose.

"Your Majesty, Li Ru is a hateful person. Which of the ministers sitting here does not express serious dissatisfaction with his actions. If I am just jealous of the virtuous and capable, then the minister will not dare to disobey what your majesty said. But today the minister said generously, what the minister said Everything I do is for His Majesty." Yang Zan continued, looking at other ministers while talking.

The other ministers didn't say anything. They didn't hate Li Ru so much. After all, they were different from the Hongnong Yang family, four generations and three princes. They bought a lot of property, land and houses in the old capital Luoyang. These things were moved to Chang'an. At that time, there was no time to take it away, and a fire burned all the foundations that had been built for decades.

"I have personally asked Li Shizhong, and he told me that Dong Zhuo was responsible for poisoning King Chenliu and burning Luoyang back then. It has nothing to do with him. Yang Aiqing should not blame others." Zhang Ming said very straightforwardly, if you want to talk about talent , it was difficult for him to convince Yang Zan, but when it came to throwing the blame, he didn't feel burdened. Anyway, Dong Zhuo was dead, and all the blame could be thrown on Dong Zhuo.

Yang Zan looked at His Majesty, he thought that His Majesty would debate with him, but he didn't expect that when His Majesty said this, he suddenly became a little dazed, this is not his field of expertise.
