laugh and forget the book

As soon as he came to court after the next year, Xuan Qi received several impeachments from officials, and even a memorial written by General Lin'an himself, all of which were all about Long Yang, the governor of Lin'an, saying that since he took office, he has indulged in leisure and neglected his duties. Even disregarding his prestige, he often went in and out of the record alley, acting absurdly.

Xuan Qi, who was silently reviewing the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, carefully read the memorial of Lin'an General Zhu Jin, and put it aside.Looking at the rest of the memorials, most of the contents are the same, and they are all saying that the phase should not be left in vain for too long, resulting in a situation where the court officials have no leader.

Most of the rank and function settings of officials in this dynasty followed the previous example. There was one prime minister of the second rank, and several deputy prime ministers.There are six departments of household, official, ceremony, military, punishment and industry. Each department has a chief minister and a deputy minister.In addition, this dynasty also specially set up the post of Central General, who is responsible for commanding and dispatching the whole country - at present, all the soldiers and horses in Jinling and Lin'an. It is occupied by Zhu Deming, the eldest son of Zhu.

As for Cao Sufeng, Hong Xingshou, etc., they belonged to the inner court secretary. Although they were considered officials, they did not directly intervene in the government and state affairs according to the rules. They should be said to be the emperor's personal entourage.After Xuan Qi sat on the throne, he completely changed people in the Imperial Study Room, Martial Arts Hall, etc. in the palace.

Before Xuan Qi ascended the throne and promoted Long Yang to be the prime minister, the previous emperor did not pay homage to the prime minister until his death. Now that Xuan Qi has set a precedent, all the ministers follow the trend and push Xuan Qi again. Appoint a chancellor.

Xuan Qi asked Xiao Guizi to go to the imperial study to find Cao Sufeng. After half a cup of tea, Cao Sufeng rushed over. Xuan Qi, who was about to blame him, suddenly saw a naughty boy's head protruding from behind him, and couldn't help sighing.

The young prince had already turned 12 years old at this time, and according to the usual practice, the palace arranged for him to use Hong Xingshou, the head of the imperial guards in the Martial Arts Hall, as a soldier and a master of martial arts.The emperor's younger brother was intelligent by nature, but even more mischievous than his elder brother. Even Hong Xingshou, who had always been calm and calm, was repeatedly provoked by him.

It's strange to say that the little prince is not afraid of Hong Xingshou, who is highly skilled in martial arts, but is afraid of Cao Sufeng, who has no strength to restrain a chicken.Every time Hong Xingshou couldn't restrain himself, he decided to move Cao Sufeng to be a rescuer. As soon as the Taifu's ruler came out, the little prince immediately wilted into an eggplant beaten by frost.

The so-called natural one thing descends one thing... Sufeng must have been teaching the little prince a lesson, and was urged by Xiao Guizi, so he simply brought the little prince here, causing Xuan Qi to have a headache too.

Xuan Qi glared at the little prince, who leaned forward with a playful smile: "Brother Wang, what is there to eat? I was teased by the red instructor for an hour, and I listened to Cao Yushu for a long time, so I was so hungry."

"Go to the imperial dining room by yourself, don't come to cause trouble, remember to go to the queen mother to say hello." Xuan Qi waved his hand as if to repel mosquitoes and flies.

"Then I'll go and have a look. If there's something delicious, I'll bring it to Brother Wang and Taifu later." The little prince said, and ran out of the imperial study.

The remaining two monarchs and ministers sighed at the same time, Cao Sufeng said: "The young prince is innocent, loyal to His Majesty, and also extremely intelligent. He will definitely be His Majesty's important minister in the future."

Xuan Qi said softly: "It may not be a minister."

Cao Sufeng was startled when he heard the words, Xuan Qi pointed to the memorial on the case, and signaled Sufeng to go and read it.Cao Sufeng held up the memorial, read it roughly, then put it down, and was about to speak, when Xuan inspired him to read the next one, Cao Sufeng just lowered his head this time, glanced at it hastily, and said with a smile: "Isn't the intention of these people so clear?" Jie, if the emperor wants to pay homage to the prime minister now, he can only choose from six ministers, the most likely being the minister of the household department, Cao Shen, which family still thinks it is not powerful enough? One person is less than ten thousand..."

He didn't continue, and looked up at Xuan Qi. Although the young emperor had a smile on his lips, his eyes were full of seriousness: "It's all because I was too reckless at the beginning. I thought that as the emperor, I would have great power in my hands, and the government and the opposition could fight. That's why I ignored dissuasion and insisted on enshrining Long Yang as a phase, I never expected that even with you guys here, I would still be struggling in this palace, this is great, it has turned into a cocoon-bound act."

Xuan Qi, who didn't know the depth at the beginning, also had a passion for being a wise king, but unfortunately, as the third son far away from the throne, he didn't like the art of emperor since he was a child, and he never studied it hard. Relying on a few confidantes around him to be able to make a difference, who would have expected that the court will form a party for selfish interests, and the government will serve the government and the government will violate the law. In less than half a year, Longyang, the prime minister, was actually taken out of the picture.

That's why Longyang was demoted and made a risky attempt to break through the situation from Lin'an.

Cao Sufeng naturally knew the serious relationship between them, he waited until Xuan Qi's self-complaint was over, before asking: "What's Your Majesty's plan?"

Xuan Qi smiled faintly: "Of course we can't just sit and wait for death. Su Feng, go and tell Xing Shou to prepare horses outside the West Palace Gate and find some trustworthy Imperial Guards. I will ask Xiao Guizi to give you these memorials later. Move to the imperial study. After a cursory look, there is nothing important. If you imitate my handwriting, please approve it. I have to go to Kunning Palace now to visit the unhappy queen."

Weifu's visits are something that Xuan Qi occasionally does, but it is rarely in the middle of the night, Cao Sufeng can't help but become curious: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Murder and set fire." Xuan Qi glared at Cao Sufeng angrily, "Don't worry, if you go to have a private meeting with a beautiful woman, you must bring the Tai Tuo with you."

Cao Sufeng's expression was serious: "Your Majesty, it's fine if you are dissolute, don't bring Xingshou down, it's better for him to be as prudish as possible."

Xuan Qi got angry, pointed at Cao Sufeng and said, "Don't talk nonsense. He... is back."

After being puzzled for a while, Taifu Cao finally came to his senses, and his face turned pale with shock: "What? Could it be that something happened in Lin'an?"

"Probably not." Xuan Qi shook his head, "Yuhuatian sent Miss Ah Si's secret letter two days ago, if there is any major change, I will not fail to mention it."

"Then... Long... can't be lovesick, and ran back privately just to see Fang Yan... Well, Long Yan, Long Yan!"

The two were talking, the little prince jumped in with a plate of warm pastries, just in time to hear Xuan Qi talking about "I'll find out when we meet tonight", he was immediately very interested, and shouted: "Where is the emperor going?" ? The younger brother is going too!"

Chapter 15

15,

It was night, Xuan Qi and the little prince disguised themselves as officers of Xing Shou's imperial army, escorted by Xing Shou and a few other confidants, quietly left the palace from the west gate, rode on the horses that had been prepared long ago, and went all the way to Xiangyang Hou Mansion .

The people in the Hou's mansion got the news early, when they saw the people and horses coming, they immediately welcomed the emperor and others into the mansion, instead of going through the front hall, they walked around to the backyard of the mansion from the side door.

Xuan Qi led the young prince into the hall prepared by the Xiangyang Marquis, before he could stand still, several people in front of him prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty!"

The person taking the lead is naturally the Marquis of Xiangyang, but Xuan Qi's eyes fell on the kneeling person uncontrollably. He was overjoyed in his heart, but he couldn't express it in words. When holding Long Yang's arm, Long Yang raised his head, and the two eyes met. After a moment, Long Yang stood up with his head down, standing on one side.

There were five people picking up the driver in the hall, except for the Marquis of Xiangyang and Longyang, Xuan Qi didn't recognize the other three, and was about to ask, but the young prince took the first step: "I was still talking about where to go, so it turned out to be Huangjie's place, It's so mysterious, if I knew it, I wouldn't have come here. Brother Huang, Lord Hou, I'm going to play with sister Huang."

Xuan Qi was about to reply to him, "Don't disturb the imperial sister in the middle of the night", the little prince had already run away and disappeared, he could only sigh slightly, shook his head, told Hong Xingshou to wait outside to guard the door, and then sat on the golden chair that Xiangyang had prepared , in the middle.

A square table was set up in front of the golden chair, and the rest of the people sat around the emperor. The Marquis of Xiangyang said to Xuanqi, "Your Majesty, these three people were originally from the old department of the minister in Lin'an."

He introduced them one by one, and the person in question got up and paid homage to Xuan Qi again. It turned out that these people were all officers of the Lin'an Army Mansion, and the officer surnamed Yuan even served as the deputy captain of the army.

Xuan Qi heard something different, but didn't point it out.

After the meeting, Long Yang said: "Your Majesty, after I arrived in Lin'an, thanks to the help of these generals, the Lin'an garrison has been used by me now."

It turned out that that day Long Yang and the Persian boy occasionally saw several people in military robes going in and out of the brothel in broad daylight, they felt strange, and led the boy to take care of them, but they were driven away by the nursing home in the hall.

The Persian boy was young and energetic, but he had been sulking from Longyang for many days. He finally seized the opportunity to get Longyang into trouble, so he was willing to let go of this hard-won opportunity. The courtyard moved.

Long Yang didn't stop him, he offered his hand in a smooth manner, and after cleaning up, he walked into the courtyard, the noise had already startled out several military masters who were planning to have fun.

Xu Shi was already used to domineering in Lin'an City, these people laughed at Long Yang's weakness and the Persian boy's appearance which was very different from that of the middle-earth people, so they besieged him.

Long Yang didn't want to hurt people, so he didn't draw his sword at first, hearing these rough men uttering obscene words in this debauched place, he became angry unconsciously.

He practiced sword since childhood, and when he was young, he played around with Li Xuanqi, who was restless in the house, and there are countless places where he can use his sword.Now that Longquan came out, it was full of murderous intent. Fortunately, Longyang was kind-hearted, and he didn't want to kill all the soldiers when he first arrived. After questioning, it turned out that these people were all garrison troops in Lin'an City.

"After asking, I found out that after the Marquis of Xiangyang left, the Lin'an Army fell into the hands of several captains in command. The military discipline has already been abolished, and the mob has been rampant and domineering, harassing the people, more like bandits.
