Because they did not attend the morning court, there was still some time before work, so a few people sat in the duty room drinking tea and eating some snacks to fill their stomachs.
Speaking of not attending the morning court, it is actually a very relaxing thing for these older court officials. At least they don’t have to get up so early every day and stand in line outside.
It is very comfortable to sit in the duty room, drink tea and eat snacks.
For these bigwigs in the court, they are well aware that the morning court session is more of a formality than a practical one.
Because nothing much could be discussed at the morning court, any major issues were discussed in private. As the saying goes, big matters are discussed in small meetings, small matters in large meetings; this was the norm.
So they didn't really care whether the emperor attended the morning court or not. As long as the emperor was willing to see them and listen to them, that was enough. Other things were not important.
As for those who clamored for the emperor to attend the morning court, most of them were censors and upright officials.
The reason is very simple. Their rank is too low and they cannot see the emperor. Only when they impeach people in the morning court can they see the emperor and win the opportunity to show their abilities.
If they follow the normal procedure, if they want to impeach someone, they just need to write a petition and submit it to the Ministry of Public Security, the Cabinet, and then the Ministry of Ceremonies.
After a set of procedures, the secret is no longer a secret.
Of course, impeachment does not necessarily have to be kept secret. This is what they do, and there is no problem with reporting under real name.
The key issue is that this petition does not have such a shocking effect. His Majesty will not see it, and the cabinet will solve all the problems because the cabinet will approve it.
What should they do in this case?
How can those who rely on talking big to take shortcuts succeed without such opportunities?
If you curse the emperor at the morning court, you may be able to cheat the emperor of the imperial caning, and you will be very successful. But if you can't see the emperor at all, your memorial, no matter how fierce it is, will be of no use. The emperor may just exile you and strip you naked and take you home.
Compared with any other form, it is not as effective as attending the morning court to trick the emperor into beating him, so the censors and the upright officials want to attend the morning court.
Different needs require different attitudes. Several cabinet ministers felt that not attending the morning court was not a bad thing. They were happy to eat, drink and discuss matters.
Han Yu repeated his thoughts, put down his teacup, and said, "This way, a good thing can be turned into a bad thing. The cabinet can monitor officials throughout the country, which will help to clean up the officialdom, while at the same time not disobeying Your Majesty."
After listening to Han Yu's words, several people had different expressions on their faces.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but think of a person, and that person was the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo.
Zhou Jiamo once said that he wanted to promote the system of performing performance evaluation. Is this a relatively necessary policy before the system of performing performance evaluation?
If this policy is combined with the performance evaluation system, it will definitely produce a very good integration effect.
Turning to look at Han Yu, Sun Chengzong raised his eyebrows and said, "This may be a good idea, but there is one thing we need to discuss clearly, that is, how should the cabinet do this?"
"After all, if you want Your Majesty to hand this matter over to the cabinet, you have to make Your Majesty feel that the cabinet will do a better job than Wei Zhongxian and his men."
Hearing this, several people nodded.
In principle, they did not object to Han Yu's proposal, because once the cabinet really had this power, it would be their power.
As for whether the people below feel uncomfortable, or whether officials are suspicious of each other, or whether superiors are afraid of being reported by their subordinates, this is not within their scope of concern.
But you have to pretend.
Huang Kezun then said, "We also need to establish some regulations regarding false accusations and how to file them. We can't just make random accusations or just casually file them. We need to discuss this matter carefully."
