Chapter 6: Deliberation
After the king's crusade, the daily work of the country was all taken care of by the four ministers, namely Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling in charge of the six ministries, Taiwei Gu Tianming in charge of the Privy Council with the power of the world's soldiers and horses, Zhu Mingcheng, the imperial historian, Taifu Zuo Wenhong, among the four he has the least rights, but the king gave him the right to nominate the prince, and five of the eighteen heirs can be selected as the primary list, and the queen mother has the final decision, if the queen mother does not agree, it means that the person you choose is not good, then you need to re-nominate.
Just such a right is actually equal to the other three real power figures in terms of fame and prestige.
The lights were bright, and the four of them sat together and talked at night, first of all, our prime minister, the chief executive of Zhengyipin, and Zhang Jiuling, who was in charge of the emperor who was second only to the power of the six departments, spoke.
Zhang Jiuling is over fifty years old, and his old face is full of vicissitudes, and his face is shaking under the illumination of the lights. He said slowly in a vicissitudes of life: "Old friends, my king has been on the Eastern Expedition for a few months, and he ordered us to be the ministers of the old name, and now it has been less than a month, what do you think?" ”
Taiwei is the oldest and is more than eighty years old, and he is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has won the trust of the queen mother and the king, Zhang Jiuling wants to ask him to speak first.
"Elder Gu, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties and well-informed, how do you think a few of us are overly good for this country."
Gu Tianming sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and said a sip of tea: "The old man usually doesn't drink tea at night, today is special, just say a few words, only the old man is older, since ancient times, the battle for the throne is their own royal family, if we want to enjoy our old age, don't get too involved." ”
"Gu Lao is reasonable, I don't think Prime Minister Zhang Cheng should worry, in short, the four of us old guys don't want to participate, there is nothing to say, let them Lao Shi family toss." Although Zhu Mingcheng, the imperial historian, is no longer among the three princes, he is also equivalent to the position of president of the Supreme People's Court, and has the highest judicial power.
Looking at this tall and thin old man in a dark official uniform, Zhang Jiuling stared, and could only stare dryly, and after a while, Zuo Wenhong beside him, as a Taifu, Wang Shi, one of the three princes, actually snored and fell asleep.
"You see that Zuo Lao is tired, Master Zhang, let's talk about this." Gu Lao's voice was low, drooping with thick and extremely wrinkled wrinkles, and said slowly.
"It's okay, that's all for today's military aircraft meeting, and we will first hold the election of 100 officials and the election of princes in January."
Zhang Jiuling returned home dejectedly, and his wife Dong welcomed him into the house, took off his official clothes, changed into pajamas, and made a basin of hot water for the officials to wash.
Although Dong is over forty years old, her skin is white and beautiful, and her charm is still there, she is wearing a purple long dress, although her wrists are wrinkled and relaxed, but she is still as white as snow, looking at the official's frowning and can't help but worry: "Official, can there be a result of today's council?" ”
"What can happen?"
"Then my nephew Zhongjue can get the support of several ministers of Gu Ming."
"Everyone is avoiding this kind of person, and you woman don't want to inquire."
"Official, you are the head of the hundred officials, are you not sure that the hundred officials will be promoted?"
"What do you know, 100 officials are divided into six departments, although I am the head of 100 officials, but the core of the six departments is in the cabinet, and the cabinet is formed by the four of us, and many documents do not need us to approve them, so we directly let us seal and sign them.
"How sure are you of the matter of Zhongjue?"
"It's hard to say, the military department is supporting the second, third, and fourth is supported by the household department, the eldest has the right of the eldest son, and can inherit according to the etiquette law, and also has the support of the Ministry of Rites, the fifth has the support of the Ministry of Industry, the sixth has the Ministry of Justice, and the second has taken the granddaughter of the captain, so the army will support it, and in general, the second elder is very likely."
"It's good that my nephew has become the crown prince, and you can continue to be your prime minister."
Zhang Jiuling glanced at Dong, dried his feet with a towel and snorted coldly and went back to sleep.
In his heart, he has always wanted to find one, the power is thin, the ability is weak, and it is easy to control the crown prince, so that it is in line with his favorite, although the second child is good, but this person is by no means idle, if he really becomes a king, I am afraid that his life will not change because of his uncle's identity.
Zhang Jiuling tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, who was the most suitable candidate in his heart, and he had to have certain qualifications, this person became his insomnia.
In the early dynasty, there was the queen mother hanging the curtain to supervise the government, and the four ministers presided over the process of the early dynasty, at five o'clock in the morning, the bell and drum were struck three times, and the bell rang five times, which was the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, and the three drums represented the emperor, the emperor of the earth, and the emperor of people, and the five bells represented the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, five natural phenomena.
Then greet the Empress Dowager, the hundred officials bowed, got up by the six departments, reported to the prime minister, the military situation in various places should be reported to the Tai Lieutenant, and the reporting officials reported to the Imperial Doctor, in short, the hundred officials reported in an orderly manner, and the operation of the country was quite stable.
The early dynasty finally settled down, but after the meeting ended, all six books gathered in the Cabinet Yuan, an administrative authority formed by officials equivalent to the rank of minister.
Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling was surrounded in the middle, and all the officials did not dare to say much, and when Zhang Jiuling was about to leave, all the officials knelt down and said: "Prime Minister, please give me some guidance on the matter of establishing the reserve and supervising the country." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, you and I have colleagues for many years, but I will not participate in the establishment of the reserve and prison country this time, and I will lose if I say too much, which will make this election unfair, but I just want to say that once the son of heaven and a courtier, you will think carefully and think more about yourself in the future."
Just such a sentence, Liubu Shangshu and Shilang and others were stunned.
"We will understand the meaning of the prime minister." He Yingquan, the head of the household, thanked him.
Several other people hurriedly asked, "Lord He, what did you get?" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and I can only say this for my life, goodbye."
After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left, and walked away in a fucking chic.
The remaining few people read the net worth and life in their mouths, four words, and the meeting was dispersed slowly, no one dared to talk about anything, at this juncture, who expressed their position, then it was really necessary to consider the issue of the net worth.
The ministers were panicked and full of worries, and they went home one by one with frowns, and the days of their wives and children may have changed, and they didn't have the heart to think about other things.
Some people say that today's establishment of the reserve is different from that of ordinary days, and today's establishment of the reserve and supervision of the state is actually the establishment of a provisional central government, and the supervision of the country cannot be used at will except for military power, and other administrative rights can be above the prime minister.
Zhao Yanwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was thinking at the bedside, who is not good for the establishment of this prison country, and his thin hands held long cigarette sticks and began to swallow clouds and spit.
Several maids took turns massaging, enjoying the treatment of a transcendent man, but his calm expression and frown tightened, as if he didn't care at all about the serious massage of these beauties.
"My lord, what Yaxing asked you to come to our Tianxiang Building."
The person who came into view was a pure-looking, well-dressed, alluring smell, her makeup did not have a trace of charm, giving people a kind of holiness, in this kind of place, it was actually a lotus flower.
Zhao Yanwen squinted his eyes, looked at this peerless beauty, and couldn't help but admire, "Sure enough, Miss Furong is beautiful and refined, which is different from this land of fireworks." ”
"You haven't said what to call such a girl this time, aren't you afraid of flashing your old waist?"
"Miss Furong, don't you know, although the old man is over forty years old, he is still alive and well, but he really has no leisure today, but he wants to discuss some life with you."
"Where did I give birth to you, and I don't know what caused Lord Shangshu a headache."
Furong can clean herself in this land of fireworks, naturally she has her superiority, Zhao Yanwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, knows that this Furong girl is Lao Liushi Zhonghan's lover, so he came here this time to test the truth.
"Where and where, everyone's life is different, I want to ask the girl, who was most likely to become the prince in the world back then?"
Fleur showed a look of horror and whispered, "Talking about the prince, that's going to kill the head." ”
"Girl, don't smile, we are also old acquaintances, you are the sixth son's person, I am also the sixth son's person, we have our own duties, we have to analyze the current trend in the form of problems, so as to pave the way for the sixth son."
"Lord Shangshu, this is a difficult little girl, of course the sixth son has both male and talented people today, but the second son seems to have the advantage of the eldest son, but if you don't follow this rule to produce the eldest son, it will not be the turn of the sixth son, in short, this recommendation is very mysterious."
"Then I want to ask the girl, no matter who is the prince, who will be the most resistance to us, if we follow the model of our own people to vote for our own people, will we be 100% successful?"
"What does Master Shangshu mean?"
"The four ministers are one of the resistances, followed by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely oppose the establishment of the sixth prince, if we vote for ourselves, it will be unfavorable to us, I think give up the prince and strive for the real power of the country."
"The adults are smart, and the little girl admires the five-body throw." Fleur has a delicate face, a pair of bright eyes like stars twinkling, and she admires this person from the bottom of her heart at this moment.
"We are people in the same boat, this kind of vain words, and don't use it on the old man, if the girl really thinks that the old man is reasonable, you must tell the sixth son, this kind of thing, the superiors and subordinates can't say it, and you don't want to say that the old man told you about it, it's completely your own thoughts."
"Adult, the little girl understands that this kind of sensitive topic, the sixth son is suspicious, and a little person like me can mention a thing or two."
"Then please, the old man's net worth and life are on the girl, this is the pearl of the night of the South China Sea, it has the effect of moisturizing the skin, please smile at the girl."
Zhao Yanwen took out a box inlaid with jade from his cuffs, this box looks exquisite, this box alone is worth a lot of money, the wooden one looks like golden silk nanmu, and when the box is opened, it immediately releases a dazzling orchid light.
Even though Hibiscus is also a person who has seen the scene, I have never seen any treasure, but it is the first time that such a big night pearl is the size of a tennis ball, and the key is bright, pure natural and pollution-free, absolutely free of phosphor.
The little girl couldn't help but raise her mouth slightly, but quickly adjusted her gaffe, and instead said righteously: "We are all strategists for the sixth prince, how can this be so, Lord Shangshu understands that the little girl does not dare to accept such valuable things." ”
"Haha, Miss Furong looks down on Zhao, although this thing is precious, the ancients are cloudy, the treasure knife is given to heroes, and the treasure is matched with a beauty, if the girl doesn't want it, who else in the world is worthy of taking this thing, the old man really feels a pity." showed a look of regret that BMW was not worthy of a hero
"The adult is so gracious, and the little girl is ashamed, then I will be disrespectful."
"Where, where, if the Hibiscus girl accepts, it is the blessing of this jewel."
This old fellow's eloquence is first-class, and the sycophants make Fleur's cheeks red, so she has to take it.
After Zhao Yanwen left, he actually found that there were twenty gold leaves at the bottom of this treasure, this gold leaf was at least five hundred taels of silver, ten was five thousand taels, and twenty was ten thousand taels of silver. is as good as those local tyrants in the previous life, it seems that appearance plus emotional intelligence will definitely make a woman like a tiger.
The hibiscus girl is definitely the perfect combination of beauty and wisdom on the banks of the Liujing River in Kyoto, how many civil officials hope to be able to chant poems and paint with her, but is Hibiscus really Shimizu Hibiscus?
Obviously, in this red and pink land, he can still get out of the mud without staining, and he is definitely a powerful character.
