Chapter 1462 Something is wrong with you

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 22nd day of the second lunar month is a rare early morning day.

    The last time hundreds of officials went to court was on New Year's Day. Since then, they have not been able to see Tianyan again.

    It is said that Sheng Gong is ill, but all the officials have been annoyed by the emperor who has been slacking off all year round. Some of the people who try to please others even come to advise His Majesty to be honest and diligent in government, and not to curse yourself all the time. That is not good and so on.  ¡­

    However, in February, there were some vague rumors in the palace. It was said that the emperor was indeed ill. He had sores on his body since the end of the first month and it was not healing for a long time.  From the Imperial Hospital, there was also news that the Imperial Court officials were taking turns to attend the Qianqing Palace, and all the Imperial doctors had been given a gag order They were not allowed to talk nonsense, which just showed how serious the situation was.

    So all the officials came to pay their respects and inquire about the emperor's condition. For a time, people in the capital were in a state of shock, and the emperor's condition was discussed in the streets and alleys.

    Fortunately, Emperor Longqing met Long Ti a few days ago and accepted the invitation of Mr. Gaoge to go out to the imperial court today to listen to the government to reassure people.

    As soon as this news came out, the slightly depressed atmosphere in the capital was relieved.

    Today is spring and Jingming, and all the ministers came to the palace gate early, waiting happily to see the emperor, and then went back to attend the tea party held by various ministries.

    It¡¯s Grain Rain in five days. At this time, each government office has received the first batch of spring tea from the local government. As a rule, tea parties are held to taste and compare famous teas from various places and show off their elegance.

    Of course, how can the high-ranking government make these dog officials comfortable?

    The issue that Beijing officials are most concerned about now is At the beginning of the month, the Ministry of Officials requested that when officials from the two capitals are sent out in the future, if they beg for leave due to illness, they will all be dismissed from their posts and will not be allowed to recover from illness.  If there are any evaders, they will be demoted and replaced. Those who dare to disobey will be removed from the list and stay idle.

    As for the foreign officials who claim to be sick and beg for leave, this can only be granted if the matter is urgent.  Moreover, the appointment of officials who have recovered from illness must be evaluated and decided by the medical examiner, and no abuse of favoritism is allowed.

    The emperor will naturally play it accurately.

    This could cost your life.  You know, although officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have many holidays on the surface, their days were the most comfortable in all dynasties.

    Because the civil servants are the real rulers of the country, how could they treat themselves badly?  They shouldn't add holidays to themselves in a big way, as that would have a bad impact.  Then use the leave to benefit yourself.

    They were not very aggressive when asking for leave. They said they wanted to take care of their elderly mother, so they could go home for two years. They said they were not in good health, so they could go home and rest for a few more years.  Once you have had enough fun at home and Jingji feels restless, you can cancel your leave and come back to work as an official.

    In addition to legitimate sabotage, this leave system is also used by officials to avoid unfavorable appointments.  For example, unless they serve as high-ranking officials in the border areas, officials in the capital are unwilling to go outside. This is exactly the opposite of Dai Qing.

    ¡°But with so many local official positions, someone has to take them.  Therefore, when undesirable external appointments are made, officials will suddenly fall ill, either from sudden eye problems or from dizziness. In short, they cannot take care of themselves and naturally cannot perform their duties.

    The court had no choice but to let them go home and travel around for a few years. What do you think?  alright!  So when there was a good opportunity, he was recommended by the same year and became an official

    Over the years, "leave benefits" have become a common practice in Ming Dynasty official circles, so much so that officials who have never asked for leave feel at a loss.  Even Mr. Zhang once took sick leave and went home to play for three years.

    ¡°For someone like Zhang Siwei, who is so shameless, he even takes longer to take leave than to go to work, but it doesn¡¯t delay his progress.

    The court was not unaware that this was a huge loophole, but once the unspoken rules of officialdom were formed, they could not be changed easily.  For this reason, during the Chenghua period, it was stipulated that if an official was ill and did not return to office for three months, his salary would be suspended, and he could not receive his salary until he was reinstated.

    But who among the officials would go too far with that little salary?  Isn¡¯t it delicious in the fish and meat village?  So it has no lethality.  During the three dynasties of Zheng and Jialong, the emperors became more and more lazy, and officials acted unscrupulously during their vacations.

    But with Mr. Gao Ge¡¯s actions, the good days will come to an end.  The high arch not only blocked their way to avoid being exposed to the disease, but also blocked their way to the outside.  Even after they usually take sick leave, it will be much more difficult for them to remember to return.

    The officials naturally complained, but Gao Gong was very angry this year, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.  He could only greet his mother privately, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, otherwise the paw team would hear him and it would be another disaster.

    ??~~

    At this time, Mr. Gao Ge, who was greeted by his mother one after another by the officials, was walking out of the cabinet while talking to Zhang Juzheng.  Gao Ge was always a workaholic and often worked overtime all night, so Mr. Zhang had no choice but to stay overnight with him in the cabinet. He was not allowed to go home for several days in a row, and he was very depressed.

    "It's such a good day!" Gao Gong stretched out happily, feeling very happy.  LongAll around.

    After a while, Long Qingfang whispered: "I'm going back to Qinghe County"

    "Huh?" Gao Gong was stunned.

    Meng Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly reminded in a low voice: "The one in the backyard."

    "Then, okay" Gao Gong could only nod.  Now the emperor wants to go wherever he wants, as long as he can calm down.

    "Send it to me." Long Qing looked at Gao Gong with pity.

    "I send you to your Majesty." Gao Gong suppressed his tears and nodded.

    Long Qing then let go of the right collar of his court uniform, but then held his hand tightly.

    At this time, the sleeves of the dragon robe fell back, revealing the emperor's pale arms, with shocking dark red sores

    "Hiss" Gao Gong couldn't help but take a breath of air.

    "Actually, my illness is not cured. The scab just refuses to fall off. What can I do?" Long Qing smiled miserably.

    ps. Send first and change later.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
