Chapter 58 Section fifty-eight

The case was sponsored by the Ministry of Officials by Yulin, the doctor of the kaogong department, and Lu Changyi, the principal.Punishment of officials is not common, and there is no clear text to check in the laws and regulations. After studying for a long time, I think that the only way to deal with "violating the law" is to punish them. The punishment for "violating the system" ranges from mild to severe, ranging from fines to dismissal.As for the crime of love, Tu Renshou's situation seems to be seeking glory but remorse, after all, it is not a great punishment.However, it was inconvenient to draw up too lightly the special purpose to discuss the matter, so after careful consideration, a punishment of "dismissal and retention" was proposed.

On this day, Shang Shu Xu Tong, Xi Zhen and Zuo Shilang Song were in the yamen. After they bowed to pay homage, Yu Lin explained the whole story and waited for instructions. Xu Tong was originally attached to the King of Chun by the party, because the King of Chun suddenly changed from being conservative to the same as King Gong, who was fond of talking about Western affairs, and felt quite disgusted, so he knew that Queen Mother Tu Renshou Chong's original intention was to depose King Chun, so he I think it should be kept safe.Xizhen is a gentleman with a long life, she thinks that such a punishment is severe enough, and agrees.However, Shang Shu and Shi Lang are both hall officials, so they still need to ask Matsuo what he meant.

Song Yu was very straightforward, "From my point of view, it seems that there should be no punishment," he said, "Tu also has good intentions. If it is suggested that the Queen Mother should be dismissed from her post, then if someone says that the emperor has already grown up, why doesn't the Queen Mother return to power as soon as possible?" ? So what? Should it be rewarded? " "That's right." Xizhen nodded, "The two grand ceremonies of the big wedding and the return to power are full of joy, and it seems that it is not appropriate to do excessive things to Tu."

"That's how it is, 'dismissed and retained'! However, he has already been transferred to the censor, what position can be dismissed?" Xu Tong asked Yu Lin, "Is there any explanation for this?" "Tu Renshou's resignation to the censor should be handled separately. Resignation does not mean removal from office. Naturally, another official position must be transferred to the counterpart. That is, the date of transfer is the date of dismissal and retention." "Oh! Oh!" Xu Tong asked again: "Which officer will be transferred in the future?"

"Naturally, it is to transfer subordinates, it is impossible to return to the Imperial Academy." "Okay! Find a good job for him in the future. Bring the manuscript!" Xu Tong, Xizhen, and Song Yu drew lines in turn, and the other three servants should also draw sketches, but they can make up the formalities. According to the requirements of the imperial order, the manuscript will be replayed on the same day. The Empress Dowager Cixi was busy with her wedding, and the words of the replay were vague, and she didn't have time to decipher them carefully, so she sent it to the military plane for handling.When the original melody was in Sun Yuwen's hands, he immediately saw the deep meaning in it.

So he drew up a pen and drew up a play: "Chatu Renshoukai went to the censor, handed it over to the Ministry of Discussion, and the Ministry of Economics replayed: "Compared with the violation of the law, it is suggested that he should be dismissed and stay in office, but the vacancy has been opened, and it should be filled on the official day. Handle it." And play: "Tu Renshoukai went to the censor section, and dealt with it separately." How to deal with it? It is proposed to make up the official day and stay in office. What official is the replacement? I don't know.

It is proposed to ask the Ministry of officials to understand the answer. " After finishing writing, Sun Yuwen signed his name at the end first, and then handed it over to Xu Gengshen, Zhang Zhiwan, Erle and Bu, and then to Li Wang Shiduo, the foreman of the military aircraft. , the first pass failed. "Laishan," Xu Geng said softly, "it's okay to forgive others and forgive others! Besides, the queen's dowry is about to enter the palace, up and down, beaming with joy, why kill the scenery?" "I have no grievances with Tu Meijun, why bother with him. It means 'this'." Sun Yuwen made a "seven" gesture.

"Then, it doesn't matter if you press it. I'll deliver it after a good day." "That's fine." Sun Yuwen said, "You rank first." Xu Geng had no choice but to write down his name.The Military Aircraft Department is almost the two of them, and it is the intention of King Chengchun to preside over everything, Zhang Zhiwan follows the crowd, Erle and Bu are silent, Shi Duo has no claims, they don’t ask questions, and agree to the title of the book. It was the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, and there was an excellent sun early in the morning. Thousands of people watched the queen's dowry in the rising sun. The total amount was 200 lifts, and they entered the palace in two days.From Dongcheng Fangjiayuan meandering, enter Donghua Gate, Xiehe Gate, rear left gate, and carry it into Qianqing Palace.At the same time, the concubines Jin and Concubine Zhen also had dowries, not as many as the empress, and they could not enter the palace from the front. They were carried from Shenwu Gate to the East Sixth Palace for placement.

The dowry for the two families began at eight o'clock in the morning and was finished at two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the weather suddenly changed, with dense clouds, and in the evening it snowed. This is something that kills the scenery, not to mention the 27th wedding day, at least the second batch of dowry will be issued the next day, and there will be a lot of inconvenience when it rains and snows.The two deacons prepared oilcloths overnight to cover the dowry to be distributed tightly.This is like "walking in brocade clothes at night", you can't see much, and not many people will brave the wind and snow to watch the fun.How many days of hard work, looking forward to the glory of these two days, as compensation, Gui Xiang was very frustrated because he didn't want half to fail.

"It's so boring!" He said to his wife, "It seems that a queen came out and prepared a dowry, so she dumped my family. Not to mention, it's okay to go bankrupt to save face, but it happens like this weather!" "What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Guixiang said, "It takes a long time for good things to happen, but it's good to be like this." "Okay?" Gui Xiang sneered, "What's the matter? I'm about to return to power, how much kindness do you think the emperor will give to our family?" "No matter what, you are always Cheng Engong. Two days ago, there was another Yi decree, and you will be the servant. There is the empress dowager in the palace, and the seventh master outside. I am afraid that you will lose your official position. I am afraid that you will not be able to let go of this pole." Smoking guns, no matter how good the job is, it's useless."

"Forget it, forget it! I really don't want to be Cheng Engong. Look at Chongwenshan..." 'Duh! Mrs. Guixiang hurriedly interrupted, "The more you talk, the better. How can you compare yourself with this unlucky ghost?"Don't be shy either! " Gui Xiang shrank his head, smoked his mouth, swallowed the clouds, and didn't ask about anything.Mrs. Guixiang was a little sad and worried when she saw her husband and son-in-law like this: on the fifth day of February, the emperor gave a banquet to his family, and all the officials accompanied him. The first seat on the front, above the Grand Scholars, is the unanimous attention of both inside and outside the hall.Judging by his trivial description, will he lose his manners and make weird jokes by then?It's really hard to say. It snowed all night, and the ground was full of plains.In the afternoon, the thick snow had completely melted, and the road was muddy, so it was easier to walk when it snowed.At night, the clouds are thick and deserted, and the last quarter moon hides without a trace, but there are lights shining in the clouds from time to time, especially in the northwest, like fire.Then such flames also appeared in the east, south, and west. At midnight, the light concentrated in the sky, and then scattered in all directions in a flash.Some people say that this is called "Heaven's Smile", while others say it is "Heaven Opens His Eyes".I don't know the Lord He Xiangrui? The next day—the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, it was the day when the queen was proclaimed.Before noon, all the officials gathered. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor ascended his seat in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Amidst the clear and clear sound of "swipe, brush", the princes and officials performed three kneeling and nine kowtows, and then Announced by officials of the Ministry of Rites.Read out the imperial edict to enshrine the empress, welcome the envoy Erlehebu, the great scholar of Wuyingdian, the deputy envoy, Minister of Rites, Kuirun, and the ten ministers and ten members specially sent to welcome him. Go down to the hall, escort the queen's golden album and jade treasure, and a phoenix with a royal pen inscribed with the word "Dragon" in Jin Ruyi, go out of the Taihe Gate, cross the Jinshui Bridge, pass through the Meridian Gate and Daqing Gate, and go back. East, slowly heading towards the back mansion. As soon as the queen arrives, the queen is not immediately welcomed into the palace, according to the time selected by the Qin Tianjian, until midnight when the twenty-seventh child is handed in, the queen will respectfully receive the treasure.At that time, the west wind was blowing like a galloping horse.Fortunately, Luan Yiwei will handle business, hundreds of pairs of painted phoenix lanterns, and use glass as the lampshade.The ones suffering were the four "wives who catered to their orders". They were supposed to ride horses as usual, but the horse neighed in the wind, and they couldn't sit securely on the saddle. Therefore, the procession of honor went slowly.Zizheng left the back residence, and entered the Daqing Gate from Fangjiayuan via Shijia Hutong, East Street, Chang'an Archway, Bingbu Street, and Dongjiangmi Lane.The Jingyang bell at the Meridian Gate slammed, and the sound shook the nine cities. The people at the feet of the emperor knew that the queen had entered the palace. As soon as Fengyu entered the gate of Qianqing, twelve eunuchs, holding incense burners in their hands, led them into the Jiaotai Hall behind Qianqing Palace, carried Fengyu over the brazier, and stopped outside the gate of the palace. Four female officials helped them into the hall. There are tricks in entering the palace.A saddle is placed horizontally on the threshold in advance, two apples are hidden under it, and it is covered with red felt. The queen must step over the saddle, enter the hall to pay respects to heaven and earth, and then lead into the Kunning Palace behind the Jiaotai Hall. As usual, the bridal chamber for the big wedding is located in the East Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace.However, the Hebei Banquet was held in the West Room, and the emperor and the empress entered the banquet prepared in the dining room while a pair of Quanfu guards sang the Manchu "Heyi Song".This is naturally a formality. After the singing is over, the banquet is over, and then the female official will lead into the bridal chamber. At that time, the dawn had already dawned, but before the emperor and empress first realized their sweet dreams, they had to go through a lot of ceremonies. First, the four Fujins—the widow of the "Fifth Grandma" who was not long after King Dun came to the world, could not enter the palace at all on this day; Gong Wang Fujin has passed away long ago; Chun Wang Fujin is the emperor's biological mother, who intends to avoid it.Back then when Mu Zong was married, the three Fujins who dressed the queen were separated from each other, and none of them disappeared. At this time, the four Fujins who were on duty were: Prince Li Shiduo, Prince Su Longqin, Prince Yu Benge, and Prince Yi Zaidun hair wife.They hurriedly combed the queen into a double phoenix bun, put on the double happiness and wishful jade hairpin, and put on the double phoenix uniform gown. After using the "children's pastry", they put a "treasure bottle" with gold, silver and rice grains inside into it. In the arms of the queen, let her sit on the edge of the bed.Seeing that the window screen had turned white, he didn't care to check carefully and forgot some etiquette, the prime minister knelt down and exited, and the two female officials immediately closed the palace door.
