On the contrary, there is some calmness.
Thinking back to today in Jingde Palace, His Majesty's evaluation of this man, he is indeed a loyal minister.
Then, without hesitation, he opened the edict in his hand and said aloud: "Your Majesty decrees that Cheng Rui, the Chief Censor, is promoted to the position of Inspection Censor, responsible for supervising the Grand Canal and the construction of the Straight Road."
The decree in Wang Jin's hand was not an imperial edict, so the tone and manner of announcing the decree would be different.
Besides, it was just the promotion of an inspector, which was not a big deal in the court.
This is completely different from the previous promotion of Song Gongwen to the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
And when this decree came out.
The expressions of the censors all changed slightly.
They had heard about it before, at today's imperial meeting.
Your Majesty proposed the Grand Canal and the construction of the Weizhi Road, and made them national policies.
Originally, everyone felt that these two projects were a waste of money and labor, and they were considering whether they should persuade His Majesty to revoke the order.
After all, they are all censors, and their job is to advise the emperor.
But when I think about the recent period of time.
Your Majesty decided to give up after agreeing with almost no advice from the Censorate.
Rather than getting into trouble, it is better to just forget about it. It will not be too late to write a memorial when something really goes wrong.
Now, His Majesty has issued an order for Cheng Rui to oversee these two projects...
It's really confusing.
Because almost all the officials present knew it.
This Lord Cheng has been fined by His Majesty twice in a row.
Moreover, a third memorial was submitted not long ago, so they could foresee it.
Your Majesty will definitely issue an order to punish.
But now, he is being promoted to oversee these two projects...
The Inspecting Censor is different from the ordinary Censor. Although there is no difference in official position, the Inspecting Censor has real power.
For example, once a problem is discovered, it can be dealt with directly.
And the general censor, even the Grand Censor.
The most important responsibility is to report to His Majesty. As for whether to deal with it or not, it depends on His Majesty's wishes.
Therefore, this decree can be regarded as a promotion.
"What? Your Majesty has appointed me as an inspector?"
Even Cheng Rui couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
Before this, he also felt that His Majesty's decree was a punishment for him, and it would not be light, otherwise there would be no decree, but the decree would be passed through the cabinet and approved on the memorial.
"Of course." Wang Jin smiled and continued, "His Majesty said that you submitted three memorials in a row, unyielding and a loyal minister. The construction of the Grand Canal and the Straight Road is the national policy of the Great Wei, and of course we need ministers like you to oversee it."
In fact, Wei Yunyi did say something similar, but only the first half of the sentence.
However, Wang Jin felt that this must be what His Majesty meant.
And he also knew that since it was national policy.
That must be of great importance.
Thinking about saying a few more words at this time.
Let this newly appointed inspector know your Majesty’s attention and grace.
That way, we can do things better, right?
"this..."
After hearing these words, Cheng Rui was slightly moved, but he quickly reacted and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
Before that, he submitted three memorials in succession, each one more intense than the last.
But Your Majesty disagrees.
Although his salary was fined.
But no substantial punishment was imposed.
Now, he promoted himself to be the inspector...
This shows that His Majesty is wise and magnanimous.
But soon, he suddenly spoke again, "Then, eunuch, what about the three memorials I submitted earlier? Has Your Majesty thoroughly investigated the Sun Kejian case?"
It is one thing that Your Majesty does not care about me, but it is another thing that Sun Kejian violated the ancestral system of the court. The two cannot be confused.
So Cheng Rui still wanted to know how His Majesty would deal with Sun Kejian.
"Lord Sun?"
Hearing this, Wang Jin frowned.
Mr. Cheng, why is he still harping on this matter?
He didn't know Sun Kejian, and with the affairs of the Baiyi Sect and the gentry, he didn't have enough options to investigate.
But one thing is certain, there must be a deep meaning behind your Majesty's promotion of people.
So regarding the rumors from outside, Sun Kejian was doing business privately.
Wang Jin didn't quite believe it.
On the contrary I feel.
This person may be doing something great for the court.
He thought for a moment, then whispered, "Sir Cheng, since His Majesty has promoted you to the position of Inspector General to oversee the affairs of the Grand Canal and the Zhidao Road, he doesn't want you to investigate too much in this area."
"You just need to remember that every arrangement made by His Majesty must have a deep meaning. Think about Elder Song and think about the young uncle."
This sentence made Cheng Rui fall into deep thought.
Song Gongwen was originally promoted to the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
Almost everyone in the court opposed it.
But in the end, the other party proposed to distribute the tax according to the amount of land, and the success of the reform in Longyang Prefecture has demonstrated the talent and ability of this person.
Therefore, the voices of opposition are getting fewer and fewer, and now many people believe that this father-in-law of the emperor is qualified to sit in the position of second assistant.
As for Song Hongzhi, almost everyone believed that he was not qualified to be the commander of Liaozhen.
He also led the war between Wei and Gaoyang, even though Gaoyang was weak.
But he was a man who had only been in the army for more than a month.
Even with the support of the imperial court, can we win this war?
All the court officials held a negative attitude, even the officials of the Censorate thought so.
