Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an announced three major events at the court meeting on this day.Lin Xieshan, the general who was away from Beijing, was granted the title of Duke of the Sui Dynasty, and he was hereditary.Shi Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Guan Minghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Lin Xieshan, the new Duke of the Sui Dynasty, entered the cabinet.Mention Wu Shao Wang Nanrong Yuan into the cabinet.When these three imperial edicts were issued, the court was in an uproar.

In order to prevent too many hidden dangers after the emperor's grandson ascended the throne, Emperor Mingzong was always cautious in rewarding important officials in the court.Even the former Empress Cheng's family was only a first-rank Zuozhu country, without a title.Nowadays, the highest titles of the royal families in the Central and African countries are the Qin family of the Marquis of Chang'an and the Liu family of the Marquis of Anding.The titles of these two families are hereditary titles, and they are hereditary dukes conferred by Emperor Mingzong's father, Emperor Xianzong.When Emperor Mingzong arrived, the eldest sons of the Qin family and the Liu family inherited the title, and because it was not hereditary, they were reduced to marquis.Emperor Mingzong killed many princes and ministers, and the two with the highest titles remained.After Emperor Yong'an came to the throne, the reigning lords of the Qin family and the Liu family were still alive and had not been passed on to the eldest son, so they were still the titles of Marquis.When the eldest son of the two families takes over the title, he will be reduced to the title of earl.

The plaque on the door of the Lin family's Youzhu State Mansion has not been removed, and everyone speculates that the Holy Majesty may continue to seal Lin Xieshan as Youzhu State.Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty directly conferred the title of Duke of Lin Xieshan, and it is still a hereditary title of Duke of the Kingdom, which is an absolutely superior first-class title!

That's not counting.Since the emergence of the cabinet department, no military general has entered the cabinet.The Holy Majesty not only mentioned Lin Xieshan as the Duke of the state, but even let him enter the cabinet!As for the bachelors of the cabinet, when will it be the turn of the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War? !Among the six ministries, the Minister of the Household Department usually enters the cabinet.The household department is the money bag, and the emperor has to listen to the opinions of the household department minister for many things.Hubu Shangshu Nianqing concurrently served as a cabinet bachelor.Guan Minghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has a noble concubine behind him, so it is reasonable to enter the cabinet.Among the six ministries, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has the greatest power, because the Minister of the Ministry of Officials directly governs the promotion and selection of officials across the country.But now, Mi Wanzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has not entered the cabinet yet, and Shi Yu, who has the lowest status among the six ministries, has actually entered the cabinet!

The most eye-catching thing is that King Wu Shao, who was deliberately suppressed by Emperor Mingzong during his reign, was actually mentioned in the cabinet!King Wu Shao and King Xianyi have always been idle princes, and Emperor Yong'an didn't intend to reuse them after he ascended the throne.The two of them are also very clear about their identities and positions, and they have never deliberately expressed themselves in government affairs.However, during the 12 years since Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne, King Wu Shao was pushed into the cabinet without warning!What is the purpose of this? !

King Wu Shao himself was confused when he heard the reading.This is too unexpected!As soon as the imperial decree was read out, King Wu Shao stumbled to the center of the hall, bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty! I am terrified! I am ignorant and blunt by birth. I will never be able to take on this important task! I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Majesty. Please take back your order!" "

Emperor Yong'an: "Lack of talent and learning, so go learn! You are born blunt, so you can make up for your weakness with hard work! You are my uncle, the king of the country, and you should share my worries and contribute to the country! I brought you into the cabinet to spur you, Don't be drunk all day long, and be ashamed of your ancestors! When I use you, you will also fight for your ancestors!"

King Wu Shao's body trembled, and he blinked his eyes with his head lowered, and said: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, but I am ashamed and indignant. I should relieve His Majesty's worries and labors, and die!"

"Well, it's just that you have to have such courage."

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for the grace!"

King Wu Shao knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and returned to his seat.

At this time, Chen Changgeng, the imperial envoy of Zuodu, came out and said, "Your Majesty bestowed the general as the Duke of the state, and the general deserves his name. However, the cabinet has always been a civil servant. If the general enters the cabinet, I am afraid that it will attract dissatisfaction in the cabinet." Stable. The great general commands the army, and now he is ranked as the first-class hereditary prince, which may not be appropriate for the stability of the country." A first-class hereditary prince who holds a large army is definitely a hidden danger of political instability.Even Chen Changgeng didn't understand why His Majesty, who has always been wise, made such a muddled decision.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Imperial Envoy said is justified." Immediately, officials came out to agree, and the Imperial Academy members also came out to object.

After all the officials who disagreed came out to object, there were six ministers, Sima, important cabinet ministers and all the generals present. To be honest, even the generals who entered the cabinet thought that His Majesty was joking.How can their military generals do what the cabinet wants to solve.Moreover, entering the cabinet is not suppressed by civil officials, so aggrieved.But the most aggrieved person is Mi Wanzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Shi Yu actually entered the cabinet, why did he enter the cabinet!Didn't they just make some glass and mirrors!

For the time being, no ministers had anything to say, and Emperor Yong'an said: "The cabinet scholars are for my advice and suggestions for governing the country. To govern the country, you need civil servants. But you also need military commanders. In the next few years, even decades, or hundreds of years of Mata country The contribution of generals is indispensable, and I also need to discuss with the general on certain important matters. As for the general commanding the troops, I also have my own plans, so there is no need to say more, I have already made up my mind."

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, why did His Majesty's words have other meanings?Emperor Yong'an kept his word, the imperial decree has been issued and will not be changed.Lin Xieshan is not in the capital, and after Lin Xieshan returns to Beijing, Emperor Yong'an will make a formal decree.However, Emperor Yong'an also ordered the household department to prepare in advance for the replacement of the plaque of Sui Guogong's mansion.

After returning to Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yong'an asked where Zhuo Ji was.Knowing that Zhuo Ji had returned, Emperor Yong'an went to find Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji was writing on the desk specially equipped for him by Emperor Yong'an of Wensi Pavilion.Emperor Yong'an came back, seeing Zhuo Ji's appearance, he asked, "What are you writing?"

Zhuo Ji: "For the 'special camp', and before I leave, I have to arrange some money-making plans. I asked Chang Jing, Xiao Hui, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu and Aunt Hua to arrange their families to the capital. At that time, they will be my helpers outside the palace."

"Oh? What money-making scheme?"

Emperor Yong'an stepped forward, Zhuo Ji held the paper and said, "Your Majesty will wait until I really earn money."

Emperor Yong'an chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to earn money. But it's okay if you don't earn money, I won't laugh at you."

After Zhang Xian changed his clothes and put on his regular clothes, Emperor Yong'an sat down behind the case and said, "I have decreed today that Lin Xieshan will be made the Duke of the Sui Dynasty, and he will be appointed as the Duke of the Sui Dynasty. cabinet."

Zhuo Ji: "Wow! Your Majesty, you dropped a blockbuster today."

"Haha..." Emperor Yong'an told Zhuo Ji about his plan, "Lin Xieshan, I must reward you heavily. Hereditary succession is the greatest favor I give to Lin Xieshan. I also plan to hand over the Firearms Camp to Lin Yi. But Lin Xieshan After returning to Beijing, Zhenhui will decree that he will be removed from the post of general, and Lin Xieshan will also serve as the Youzhu Kingdom. The Ministry of War will lead the deployment of soldiers and horses throughout the country under my instruction, and those who dispatch troops and horses without my authorization will be severely punished. The secretariat, for me to formulate policies for governing the country, and for me to issue orders to the whole country. The Imperial Academy will deal with documents and compile more history in the future."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty intends that the Ministry of War will be more similar to the military department in the future. All generals will be under the management of the military department, and your majesty is equivalent to the highest officer of the army."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "The emperor must have absolute control over the army. The firearms battalion, the special battalion, and the forbidden army must be in the hands of the emperor. I also plan to call the cabinet, six ministries, and local officials every four years. The capital discusses state affairs together, and the members of the cabinet are replaced every eight years. As for the ministers of the six ministries and the officials of various provinces, they will be replaced regularly when the time is right in the future."

Zhuo Ji: "There is really no need to worry about this. It is feasible to discuss state affairs together. It is possible to replace the high-ranking officials and get the next emperor."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll lay the foundation first. After the crown prince ascends the throne a hundred years later, he will have the strength and courage to make this reform."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, let's do it. I support Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an asked Zhuo Ji to come over, and Zhuo Ji got up and went over.Emperor Yong'an hugged him on his lap and said: "I dare not say that I can prevent the decline of the Mata country or even be replaced by other countries, but I want to prolong the rule of the Mata country, and I must also consider that if the Mata country fails in the future, what will happen to me?" Where should the descendants of the Nanrong family go, and how should they recover."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty is so forward-looking. Even if it is hundreds or thousands of years later, the Mata country will still not be able to escape the trajectory of history. At least the descendants of the Nanrong family will have the chance to avoid disasters and continue to prosper."

Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji tightly: "You and I can't see each other anymore."

Zhuo Ji smiled: "I won't be able to see it in this life, but I will definitely see it in the next life."

"Hehehe..."

In Yunyue Palace, Deguixie who received the news was overjoyed: "Father, was His Majesty ordered him into the cabinet?"

Fuquan nodded with joy on his face: "Your Majesty has decreed that the master should be nominated for the cabinet. He also mentioned the Minister of Industry, Lord Wu Shao, and the general. However, the general is now the Duke of Sui, and he is still a hereditary superintendent. Pin Guogong."

Degui Xie's heart was pounding, the Guan family really fell into His Majesty's eyes, what a blessing this is!Deguixie's heart moved: "You just said that Shi Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and King Wu Shao also entered the cabinet?"

"That's what the servant heard."

De Guixie immediately thought of the "abnormality" of Lin Yi and Shi Yu at the banquet in the third junior high school.King Wu Shao... Your Majesty has actually started to use King Wu Shao again... What does this mean?

Huang Guixie was equally shocked.Guan Minghui joins the cabinet!King Wu Shao enters the cabinet!Shi Yu entered the cabinet!Lin Xieshan into the cabinet!The cabinet originally had only three people, but now it has suddenly become seven.Although Huang Guixie's father is also a cabinet bachelor, he is only a third-rank official history secretary.His entry into the cabinet is firstly related to his position, and secondly related to Shao Taishi's status.Although Huang Guixie's eldest brother has been promoted to the third rank now, but the entire Shao family, except for the official position of the first rank, the grand master, the rest are the highest rank.Furthermore, Taishi Shao is old, and he has more than enough energy for affairs in court.

The Rebellion of the Three Kings, Cheng's witchcraft, and Emperor Yong'an killed a group of ministers and clans, and virtually broke the power factions in the court.The Taishi's right to speak in the court is definitely not as good as that of Emperor Mingzong.Empress Dowager was worried.Now Degui Xie and his two sons are next to each other, Guan Minghui is a real second-rank minister, or minister of the Ministry of War, and now he has joined the cabinet... The status of the Guan family seems to have faintly surpassed that of the Shao family.Huang Guixie caressed her swollen belly, hoping that this baby would be a prince.Although His Majesty has personally admitted that Chen Fang is the eldest son, but now that the status gap between the Shao family and the Guan family has narrowed, Chen Fang's advantage is no longer obvious.

Regarding the changes in the previous dynasty, neither Ming Xun nor Concubine Xi Gui had much reaction.Ming Xun didn't care about these things, and His Majesty himself began to use the Lin family again—Ming Xun's Lin family has nothing to do with Lin Xieshan's Lin family—now that his wish has come true and he has a child, he is very content.The same goes for Concubine Xi. His Majesty began to use people from the Kuang family. She was already grateful for being out of favor. If she could conceive a dragon heir again, she would have no regrets.As for competing for the seat with the imperial concubine, if she could give birth to a prince in the future, whether she would be able to take the throne of the king of Qin, Xi Guifei never even thought about it.She will always remember what the Holy Majesty said, what the Holy Majesty wants is a noble concubine who can bring stability to the harem and maintain a close relationship with other people, and a noble concubine who can not pose a threat to Zhuo Ji.If she moved something she shouldn't have and was noticed by the Holy One, she would be the first to be unlucky, and it would also affect her mother's family and the children she might have in the future. She would not be stupid again.

Empress Dowager was worried, but he couldn't ask.The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.However, someone asked for him: "Your Majesty, so the minister will not guess that you intend to make King Qi the crown prince? Do you think that Your Majesty trusts Brother Tong's family more than Brother Yao's family?"

Emperor Yong'an: "When my imperial conquest comes back, I will arrange the emperor's nephew to go to the firearms camp. In ten years, I will not specifically express who I prefer to be the crown prince. I want to see if they will do something about it." What a small move. My prince must be a person with the world in mind, a broad mind, and a long-term vision."

Zhuo Ji sighed: "It's not easy to be an emperor, it's not easy to be a concubine, and it's even more difficult to be a concubine with a prince."

Emperor Yong'an held Zhuo Ji's hands firmly: "If you give birth to a prince for me, I will definitely make him a prince!"

Zhuo Ji said very seriously: "Your Majesty, this joke is not funny at all!"

Emperor Yong'an: "I'm telling the truth."

Zhuo Ji: "If Your Majesty dares to make me pregnant, I will run away from home!" Use a lie made up by a certain Majesty to block back.

"..." Emperor Yong'an stroked Zhuo Ji's stomach, "Not one?"

Zhuo Ji rebelliously pushed away Emperor Yong'an's hand: "Not a single one will be born. Your Majesty, you promised that you will keep your promises. If you can't speak, you won't count!"

Emperor Yong'an surrendered again: "I'm just talking casually. If you don't want to, I can still force you." At the end, he said very sadly: "Others, I wish I could pamper them every day and make them pregnant as soon as possible." On the dragon heir. You are lucky, you are by my side every day, but you despise my dragon heir."

Zhuo Ji held Emperor Yong'an's face: "I don't dislike your majesty's dragon heirs, I like them very much. I can't accept having a child, and I'm even more afraid of pain. Your majesty, if the pain of breaking the bones is five, Having a child is ten, you are willing to suffer for me?"

Emperor Yong'an was very contradictory.Let's say it's willing, it doesn't mean to make Zhuo Ji angry.It can be said that he is not willing to part with it, but he really wants a child with Zhuo Ji, regardless of male or female.

Seeing that Emperor Yong'an was silent, Zhuo Ji said, "Your Majesty! No joke!"

Emperor Yong'an sighed: "Okay, you are not joking. But it is hard to say that you will change your mind after a few years."

"It will never change!"

"Just be stubborn. When you change your mind in the future, but you can't give birth, it will be too late to regret it."

Zhuo Ji hugged Emperor Yong'an's neck and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, if I don't remember anything in my next life, I will definitely give birth to ten or eight children for Your Majesty."

As soon as Zhuo Ji said this, Emperor Yong'an lost his mind.He stroked Zhuo Ji's back and compromised: "Okay. In this life, you will not give me any children. In the next life, you will give me at least ten children. The debt you owe me is not so easy to repay."

Zhuo Jimeng nodded: "Yes, double repayment in the next life."
