My country is dead again [Rebirth]

After returning to Beijing, Xie Ruzhuo had to go back to the days of starting at Yin hour every day, dozing off and doing Tai Chi with the cabinet. He couldn't see Shen Ci from time to time, and he had to listen to a lot of people nagging him when he couldn't wake up. Xie Ruzhuo's mood plummeted, and he felt that This is the reason why I always eat without gaining weight.

Sun Bingde pretended to care about the emperor's body for a while, and then said "Your Majesty is frightened", even after the cutscene, the emperor looked very good anyway, and he didn't want to elaborate on what happened during the disappearance What's the plan, why should they waste time on such insignificant things.

Xie Ruzhuo finished reading the memorandum presented by the officials, and said: "All the ministers are people who have experienced the Beijing inspection, so let's follow the old rules."

The cabinet had been waiting eagerly for his return about seven or eight days ago, and they were gearing up to do something big, and this big thing was Jingcha.

Dayu's inspections of officials are mainly the three-year grand plan and the six-year Beijing inspection. The grand plan is aimed at foreign officials, and the Beijing inspection, regardless of the capital city or the locality, will be inspected by officials of the fifth rank and below. The purpose of the Beijing inspection It is to reward and punish officials, so it can be said to be a major event once every six years in the court. Countless officials' official careers are suspended on a Beijing inspection.

The last time Jingcha was still in the presence of the late emperor, as far as Xie Ruzhuo knew, it was a bloodbath. At that time, the court was already chaotic, and Jingcha became an opportunity for each faction to stumbling each other and eliminate dissidents. I didn't pay attention to it, and finally heard that there was a death.

This is Xie Ruzhuo's first Beijing inspection since he ascended the throne. Actually, in his previous life, he was always tense in his heart. It was really not easy, because of this he had trouble sleeping and eating for more than a month, and almost fell ill, so Jingcha came to an end without any danger.

He doesn't have to be so nervous in this life, but he can't take it lightly. After all, Du Ruo, whom Sun Bingde is staring at closely, is within the range of Jingcha. He can sit back and relax. Looking at the present, it is obvious that he cannot be relieved, and it is very likely that Sun Bingde will make a fuss again.

Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but sigh that Du Ruo is like a bottle of precious porcelain with him. He is afraid that some people with evil intentions will break if they touch it. Not a nice guy at all.

He felt that Sun Bingde would drive him crazy sooner or later if he continued like this.

The current court has been taken care of by Sun Bingde. From the sixth department to the sixth division, there are people from Sun Bingde everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can cover the sky with one hand, but how can there be no factional disputes in the court.

Along with Sun Bingde, many people survived the melee during the reign of the first emperor, not only the Qingliu headed by Sun Bingde, but also a group of people who were very conservative at the time and are still tepid now. The censor of the left capital of the courtyard, Tang Hechun, the admiral of the three major battalions.

Behind Tang Hechun are many of the same officials. They have been in the court for many years, and their positions are not low. This group of people seldom make trouble, most of the time they are silent in the court, and they say they are reliable It's an exaggeration, and it's an exaggeration to say that they have a vegetarian meal. They can't find any major mistakes, but they can't make any achievements.

This group of people is called "the mean" in private, but it's hard to say whether this "moderate" is praise or derogation, and most of Tang Hechun and others are good-natured people, who laugh at everyone, and quarrel fiercely when they encounter quarrels. Sometimes I will come out to persuade a few words, no one will be offended, it seems that everything is just as it is.

Xie Ruzhuo has no objection to this group of people. He can't ask everyone in the court to focus on doing practical things like Du Ruo. He likes it, but he knows that this group of people is a bit of a hindrance to Sun Bingde.

Take the case of the Admiral's Three Great Battalions as an example. It seems that the civil servants put pressure on the emperor together. In the end, the two parties gave in and chose the tepid Tang Hechun. But Du Ruo secretly told him that Sun Bingde had always had this thorn in his heart. , I felt that someone in the court took the opportunity to mention that Tang Hechun was prepared in advance, but Tang Hechun still had to put on an appearance of "I don't care at all, you pushed me out, I can only do it reluctantly", it was completely fake.

After watching Tang Hechun's performance, Xie Ruzhuo deeply felt that what Sun Bingde said was reasonable. Tang Hechun still paid attention to the three battalions after he was admiral. It is hard work, it is impossible to really not want to do it.

Also, at that time, the court proposed to borrow money from the four generals in northern Xinjiang. Xie Ruzhuo later asked He Xiaoman to investigate carefully. Although Sun Bingde used this incident to pave the way for Hua Yangjiao to write a letter to build momentum, he first wrote a letter to ask for this matter. It really has nothing to do with Sun Bingde, and even in this matter, the cabinet was completely dragged into the water. After the civil servants flocked to save face and wrote the letter, they followed it for fear of losing people's tongues, and it was another official from Tang Hechun who provoked the matter. two disciples.

At that time, the DPRK and China had some discussions, and it was Tang Hechun who finally decided to go north for a trip. The reason was that he was the oldest, and Sun Bingde could only be regarded as his junior. It is said to be moderate, but it goes without saying how much careful thought there is.

Therefore, Xie Ruzhuo speculated that Sun Bingde would be the same as in his previous life this time, and he wanted to use Beijing to mobilize people from Tang Hechun's faction. It will be easier for them to do some things in the future.

What's more, the power of admiral's three camps is too attractive, forcing Tang Hechun to retreat, so they can start again.

On the same day, Xie Ruzhuo agreed that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials will preside over the Beijing inspection. The image of the emperor who has never been in contact with Jingcha.

This is the beginning of the Jingcha once every six years. The emperor will set a final day for the Jingcha. In fact, there is only one thing to do on that day, which is called "passing the court". As a result, all the steps before that are preparations for the "trial".

But everyone knew that this stage of preparation was the most worrying stage. Xie Ruzhuo carefully read the situation reported by Jinyiwei and Dongchang every day. As he expected, Sun Bingde moved Tang Hechun's people.

Both the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials are Sun Bingde's people, and one of them is his student. The Yushi Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also his fellow Jinshi in the same year. They were both good scholars in the Imperial Academy. It is a long-term friendship. , Sun Bingde has always been the leader. Although Tang Hechun is one of the hosts, he is really surrounded by these few people and can't do anything.

Xie Ruzhuo did not intervene in the grievances between Sun Bingde and Tang Hechun, and Sun Bingde still needs someone to replace a group of people. This cannot be entirely up to Sun Bingde, and it may not be a bad thing.

A month later, the interview form inside the capital was basically withdrawn, and as expected, Sun Bingde moved Du Ruo.

During the Jingchao period, each inspected official had to first write a self-report, listing his merits and demerits since he took office, and then the office where the official worked wrote an examination statement for the reference of the meritorious officials. People around the inspecting officials issue interview forms, solicit opinions from those around them, and learn from everyone. The interview forms are issued by the Ministry of Officials and taken back by the Ministry of Officials, and will not pass through the hands of the officials under investigation.

The source of the bloodbath in the last Beijing inspection was the interview form. People from different factions maliciously smeared each other on the interview form. It was impossible to tell who was telling the truth and who was telling the lie, and the Beijing inspection lost its original meaning. , has become a battlefield for various factions to take the opportunity to clean up their opponents.

This time Jingcha Sun Bingde started with the interview form. There are too many things that can be manipulated, and the yamen's test language is too conspicuous, but the interview form is secret, so it is naturally the best way to retaliate.

When Han Zhen said that he wanted to talk to him alone, Du Ruo expected that something might go wrong with his investigation. He calmly followed Han Zhen to a quiet room, and said respectfully, "What is the matter with the minister? ?”

Han Zhen sat down and looked at him for a while, then sighed plausibly, and said, "There is something wrong with your interview form, people from the Ministry of Officials should come to you soon to inquire about the specific situation."

"Thank you, Lord Butang, for letting me know." Du Ruo looked indifferent, without even raising his eyelids, "Is there anything else, Lord Butang?"

Han Zhen didn't seem to expect him to be so indifferent, but he was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "You don't have to worry, the interview form is just a reference, and the self-report and test words are also very important. There will be a review with the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Du Ruo nodded: "I don't think I've done anything to be ashamed of, so I really have nothing to worry about."

This conversation was a bit impossible to continue, so Han Zhen simply waved his hand: "Then go down and get ready, the staff from the Ministry of Officials should arrive tomorrow."

Du Ruo bowed and walked out without changing his expression. Just as he was about to go back to the Department of Cleaning Officials in the Arsenal, a small official came and stopped him, looked around, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace."

He never noticed this little official on weekdays, until now he realized that it might be Dongchang's eyeliner, he nodded quickly, and followed the little official out of the Ministry of War through the small gate, where Dongchang sent a sedan chair to wait for him. Then, immediately send him into the palace.

When he arrived at Yongning Palace, Xie Ruzhuo knew that he should know everything, so he didn't say anything more, just put a stack of papers in front of him, and said: "People from Dongchang went to the Ministry of Officials to copy a copy of Mr. Well, there is nothing wrong with the person who wrote the interview form, they are all selected according to the conventions and regulations, and there are colleagues in the six departments who have contacted on official business, as well as new and old officials of the Hanlin Academy, sir, you should check it out yourself.”

According to the rules, the officials under investigation can only see their interview forms on the day of their arraignment, but now that Xie Ruzhuo had brought them out, Du Ruo didn't refuse. He read every interview form and frowned unconsciously. Half of the more than ten interview forms are not very good. These people are not very close to him on weekdays but have never had any enemies. It is unbelievable that no one is manipulating him behind the scenes.

Du Ruo complained: "I have caused trouble for Your Majesty again."

"What are you talking about, sir?" Xie Ruzhuo hurriedly said, "While the people behind you are dealing with you, you are also dealing with me? At least after the reorganization of the guard, I and my husband have been considered by everyone to be in the same boat. .”

"The last time I went to Hengchuan to check the guards, Yuan Weng intentionally moved the guards there, but I checked the guards in the original way, and the officials who were added later were all passed by His Majesty." Du Ruo sighed, "At that time, Yuan Weng didn't make any movement, but I knew this matter would not go like this."

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said: "He is not the one who bears such a small grudge, the main reason is that he wants to transfer Mr. out of the capital and keep him away from me."

Du Ruo smiled bitterly and said, "I can't resist him at all now, so why do I have to press so hard all the time?"

"Hey, it's always right to strike first. If it were me, I would do it as soon as possible." Xie Ruzhuo also sighed, "He knows very well that the master's talents, knowledge and resourcefulness are all taught by him alone, and he will also be able to do so as soon as possible." It is clear that if there is anyone in the court who can resist him in the future, that person must be Mr. If there is such a person, of course it must be cut off as soon as possible, and it will be too late when the wings are full."

Du Ruo put the interview form back on the table and asked, "Can I go see Yuan Weng in person?"

Xie Ruzhuo knew that he had something to say to Sun Bingde alone, so he nodded and said, "Go, I think Yuan Weng is probably waiting for Mr. to find him."

The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: there are always people who want to harm me and Mr., we are such a kind and charming little white flower, it is really enviable.

Sun Bingde: ...

Note: Part of Jingcha comes from historical materials, and some of it is compiled by myself, so it is good to assume that all of them are compiled, and do not rely on textual research.

Butang is a respectful title for Shangshu.
