Liu Jiu brought a stack of memorials that had been approved today into the Nuan Pavilion. After the young emperor entered, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a smile: "Master, the cabinet proposals have been delivered today. Some trivial matters have already been approved by the servants." Red. Please read the rest here."

The young emperor casually found two books and opened them, then glanced at Fu Yuanqing: "They are all for you, what does Father think?"

Fu Yuanqing sat by the case and waited on the pen and ink, and he was not angry, but just hummed: "It's not unusual for the minister to be played."

"Master, there weren't so many papers in the first place. Today, the ancestors made a big fuss in front of the Huangji Gate, saying that they must investigate the six ministries, six divisions, and various yamen before Xinghai can be interrogated...More Election and reform of the imperial examinations. The teacher was so angry that he fainted. He made the public angry." Liu Jiu said.

The young emperor paused, looked at Fu Yuanqing, and was not surprised, and asked, "Father, do you want to stop favor selection?"

"Yes."

"Enxuan 300 years, father said stop?"

"Enxuan is held every two years. Talented people are selected by yamen, aristocratic families and aristocrats in various places and reported to the Ministry of Officials. After inspection by the Ministry of Officials, they are sent to the imperial court. When Daduan was first built, there was a shortage of talents, and there were often nine out of ten county offices. The situation. Only then did Enxuan have a school, in order to directly select young talents." Fu Yuanqing said, "The court has been in existence for 300 years, and the court has redundant personnel, and most of them are vegetarians. Enxuan also has human relations, which is extremely biased. Then Looking at the imperial examinations, there are children's examinations first, followed by courtyard examinations, township examinations, and general examinations... before you can go to the palace examination. There are many levels of selection, and there are many examiners, and they are consolidated with stereotyped essays. It is the right way to provide people for the use of the country."

When Fu Yuanqing was talking eloquently, the young emperor was leaning on the hidden cushion on the dragon chair and looked at him with a smile.

Liu Jiu contended: "Fu Yuanqing, you are rebellious and corrupt the rules of the ancestors! You plan to act arbitrarily if you don't go to the memorial to ask the master for instructions!"

Fu Yuanqing stood up and bowed, "Today Yumen was going to invite you, but His Majesty didn't go to court."

"The case of Hou Xinghai's corruption of ink is the case, so is Enxuan and the imperial examination! Fu Yuanqing, what are you thinking about! Are you planning to write the imperial decree and seal it yourself!" Liu Jiu was still yelling.

Fu Yuanqing had already taken out the court memorial from his bosom, and put his hands on the dragon case.

The young emperor picked it up, flipped through it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, it wasn't the memorabilia for retirement that Lichun said that day.

He asked: "Father, is this an order? Thoroughly investigate the government and the opposition, and suspend the election."

"Yes."

"This is going to be poked in the back. How many people will be blocked by my father?" The young emperor advised him, "What's more, the Sixteen Seals are still in your supervisor. Originally, whether I agree or not is up to you." Can't count."

Fu Yuanqing looked up, but smiled slightly: "The people are the sky, and the country is important. Fu Yuanqing's reputation is nothing. Your Majesty can understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers, and I am grateful."

After the young emperor picked up the pen and approved the popularity, he handed the memorial to him: "Father, take it back and stamp it yourself."

His tone was light, as if Fu Yuanqing's victory was not a national weapon, but a plaything for children.

Liu Jiu was dumbfounded by this cutscene.

He knelt on the ground and stammered: "Master, master... You, you must not be coerced by Fu Yuanqing. The Qingliu of the previous dynasty are all looking forward to standing up for you."

The young emperor looked at him and smiled: "The first emperor entrusted himself to the orphan, I am not weak. The affairs of the previous dynasty were originally handed over to the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. This is clearly the intention of the first emperor. How can you say such careless words?"

Liu Jiu suddenly realized that the right to be popular seemed a bit absurd.

As long as Yuxi is still in Fu Yuanqing's hands, criticizing red is just a joke.

"Yes, it's the servant girl's slip of the tongue. Master forgive me." He quickly changed his words and forced a smile, "Don't mind the old ancestor."

"I asked you to come here today because there are other things." The young emperor said, "The five armies in the world have mobilized their power, and there is a total of one soldier talisman. Half of it is in the Ministry of War, and half is in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. You are the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the soldier talisman Do you have it?"

"Keep it close to you at all times and keep it safe."

"Well. Take it out." The young emperor stretched out his hand.

Liu Jiu took out a small box from his arms in a daze. When the mechanism was opened, there was half a soldier talisman inside. He presented it with both hands, and the young emperor took away the authority to dispatch millions of troops in the world.

"Liu Jiu, draw up an order for me." The young emperor continued.

"Yes."

"Order Yang Lingxue, the commander in chief of Gansu Province, to return to Beijing immediately, promoted to the post of Military Superintendent of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, appointed Prince Taibao, to discuss matters in the court, control the Jingji garrison troops, supervise the imperial horse supervisor, and share the military handle with the Ministry of War."

After he said this, not only Liu Jiu was stunned.

Even Fu Yuanqing was in a trance.

The light words of the young emperor were thunderous.

Yang Lingxue was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of all the troops in Daduan, and he was also named Gongbao [Note 1].He is already the person with the greatest military power since the Daduan Dynasty.Although his qualifications are low, he can already keep pace with Quan Luan.

At the same time, he seized the imperial horse supervisor amulet and directly reduced the power of the imperial horse supervisor to the forbidden army in the palace.Liu Jiu herself is a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother.

Reminiscent of what the Queen Mother said to win him over in the morning - Fu Yuanqing can almost be sure that the young emperor used such a move to fight against the Quan family.

Liu Jiu, who was still high-spirited a moment ago, turned pale and stammered and asked, "Master, master...you are..."

The young emperor didn't seem to care, and smiled: "How easy is it to get the right to approve the red. Or, with the right to approve the red, do you think that whoever I want to appoint depends on your opinion?"

Liu Jiu was excited all over, and kowtowed: "I don't dare! It's just that the slave has drawn up the decree. I don't know if the ancestor of the supervisor of ceremonies will stamp it or not?"

At this time, the ancestors cooperated, folded their hands and lowered their eyes and said: "The world belongs to His Majesty, and the imperial court is also His Majesty's imperial court. Your Majesty has an order, so how dare a servant not follow it."

——Who just said plausibly that the people are the most important, and the community is also important!Is it home now?fart?As a dignified supervisor of ceremonies, you don't want any face?Sure enough, one thousand and ten thousand is still a shameless slave!

While cursing inwardly, Liu Jiu climbed up with a flattering smile to draw up an order for the emperor.

His handwriting is excellent, and his words and sentences are well proportioned. It didn't take long for the imperial decree to be written.

The young emperor was satisfied: "That's right, you can step back."

Xie En, Liu Jiu obediently withdrew.

After leaving the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and saw Fang Jing and Debao looking at him with half-smiles, as if mocking.

He glared at the two of them, and retreated cursing.

"Yang Lingxue was your former classmate, right?" the young emperor said casually.

"Back then, I was Pu Boming's disciple with Master Yang." Fu Yuanqing said, "I just dare not mention it."

"Why? Because old Mr. Pu is the grandfather of Master Pu Ying Pu, and Pu Ying doesn't like you, so you dare not mention it?" The young emperor was curious.

Fu Yuanqing looked up at him.

Fu Yuanqing said: "Master Pu has made great achievements in the way of Confucius and Mencius. Later, he advocated Yangming's philosophy of mind and the world of peaches and plums, and he is famous all over the world. I was fortunate enough to be influenced by my ears and eyes. After entering the palace, my status is humble, so I am not worthy of being a student of Master Pu. I met in private Master Pu, he only dared to retreat and avoid it. He dared not insult the name of Master Pu as a sage."

"What about Yang Lingxue?" the young emperor heard.

"Mr. Yang?" Fu Yuanqing smiled, "Mr. Yang is in the frontier and returns to Beijing every three years. As a minister, it is not easy to make friends in private. After all, I haven't seen him in 13 years."

Shaodi is familiar with his father, and knows the slight difference in every emotion of his.

Like a bonfire burning with only an inch of wood left, a gnat may know the length of a day, the last few cicadas chirping in summer...

Sad and nothing.

Everything is still the same, then accept fate.

The young emperor threw to Fu Yuanqing the unsealed imperial decree and the military talisman just taken from Liu Jiu.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Fu Yuanqing was puzzled.

"Yang Lingxue hasn't left after returning to Beijing to visit relatives in the first month. You sent the imperial decree to the Yang Mansion. Just let him accept my father's favor." The young emperor said, and then muttered, "Don't sell me out because of the support of the former military department. gone."

"What did His Majesty say?"

"Oh, Mr. Pu heard that his health has not been very good recently. You will send me two old ginseng on the way. Say that I miss him and miss his lectures. Let him get better soon in the spring. I will wait. he."

The young emperor stood up and stretched his waist: "It's noon, I'll sleep for a while. Father, go and come back quickly. You are still thinking about the past, and I want to see you before dinner. Oh, by the way, remember to give me the The jade seal is covered."

Fu Yuanqing wanted to say something more, but the young emperor turned around and entered the Yangsheng hall, only calling Debao to serve him.

He held the imperial decree in one hand, and the military talisman in the other.

He had an inexplicable illusion.

Yang Lingxue didn't become the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Horses for no reason, it was because of him...

The old ancestor stood for a while, and finally kowtowed: "My servant thanked the Lord for your kindness."
