Waldo late at night Blue Court

"The inner court sent a message, King Hua will arrive in Huadu tomorrow, and ask the prince if he has time to go to the dock to pick up people for His Majesty?" The little attendant didn't dare to breathe, and said this sentence softly.

King Qi was listening to a record at the moment, and an unknown piano piece came out of the huge gramophone.

"Let me, for Your Majesty? To pick up King Hua? King Qi asked in a long voice.

"Yes, a letter from the Inner Court, at that time, the five ministers of the trial council will go."

King Qi turned off the gramophone and said, "Is it the letter from that person in the inner court who sent you a message?" Am I anything you can command? Tell the inner court, I want to see Li Huaqian. ”

The little attendant immediately saluted and said, "Yes." As if he had fled, he immediately withdrew.

Since King Qi lived in this courtyard, there have been two little attendants whose legs have been broken, just because of a little thing that is not worth mentioning.

The "punching bag" is the accurate positioning of these little attendants for themselves.

Xiao Chang went out and immediately passed on King Qi's words.

Waldo Duke's Palace

It was only a quarter of an hour before Li Huaqian heard it.

At this moment, Li Huaqian is eating fish in the pavilion.

After hearing the news, Li Huaqian did not put down the dishes and chopsticks, but said: "According to the record of King Qi's physical discomfort, ask King Luo, if King Luo is unwilling, forget it." ”

The female official who asked Li Huaqian was just about to leave the pavilion, but was stopped by Li Huaqian and asked, "How did you arrange the female dependents that King Hua brought back from Zhaojia?" ”

The lady said: "Princess Hua asked the inner court to report the plan, and we reported three, and Princess Hua approved the plan for the Qishan villa on the outskirts of Huadu." ”

"Shallow, who asked you to report the plan of Qishan Villa?" Li Huaqian was furious.

The female officer did not panic at all but said: "Princess Hua's maiden family requested." ”

"Shallow, shallow. Shallow! Li Huaqian threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

But after a while, Li Huaqian said: "Check the ancestral system, whether there is a convention." ”

Female officer: "We checked it out, and all dynasties avoided this kind of thing, and there was no practice. ”

Li Huaqian glared at the female officer and said, "Ask someone to prepare the car, let the ship stop by Yanhua, I will get on the boat in advance to greet His Royal Highness King Hua." ”

Huadu Central Sergeant's Mansion Town Courtyard

"Li Huaqian's car is out of the city?" Mo Hu sat at the desk in the study and looked at the three people sitting opposite him - Liu Zhenghang, Qi Tianshun, and Zhang Zhuo, the doctor of the Zhengfeng Department of Political Affairs.

Liu Zhenghang nodded. Qi Tianshun is different from Liu Zhenghang's indifferent and calm, but he looks different, with a grateful look, but his mouth is indignant: "Go to the pole to pretend to be a loyal minister, and I don't know who is in Zhaojia to trap King Hua in danger." ”

"Enough, the people of the inner court should do this. Have you found the details of the female dependent you brought back? ”

Liu Zhenghang: "She is the daughter of Hu Hancai, the mayor of Zhaojia before, and now Hu Hancai has also come to Zhaojia, saying that he is going to be arranged in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Mo Hu nodded and said to Qi Tianshun: "You remember, Liang Ji is dead, in fact, he is saving Li Huaqian. ”

Zhang Zhuo, who had not spoken, turned his head to Liu Zhenghang at this time and said: "You are investigating carefully, if this woman is likely to be pregnant, then this child is the first child of King Hua, Your Majesty has always been a favorite daughter and a strict son, so the first child, whether male or female, will make Your Majesty pay special attention." ”

Liu Zhenghang nodded honestly and said, "Yes."

Liu Zhenghang, the head of the Central Military Command Department of the Military Government, who can make Liu Zhenghang, the head of the Central Military Command Department of the Military Government, honestly nod and say 'yes', there are not many people in the court, and from the side, this Zhang Zhuo is not small.

Let's first look at Zhang Zhuo's official position, the political hall is serving as a doctor, and the appearance of this official position has to break an old matter.

At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the government hall was different from the current "weak" situation, at that time it could be said to be the body that commanded all the ministries of the imperial court, and could also represent the imperial government externally.

However, in his daily work, especially the Minister of Deputy Prime Minister's Affairs of the Political Affairs Hall, it is very likely that he will enter the Council for Deliberation, so the infighting is so fierce that it even leads to the Ninku case.

Therefore, His Majesty reformed the government affairs hall and set up a single deputy minister for the affairs of the government hall to be responsible for coordinating the daily affairs of the government affairs hall, and the rest of the ministers for the prime minister's affairs were changed to "Zhengfeng Dafu".

At the same level and with similar powers, if you distinguish priorities, calm contradictions, and use the trick of changing the 'official name', it is really a good move. This trick is just a change of 'official name' on the surface, and the power and responsibility are still there, but in essence, it is secretly adding an extra layer of official rank.

Nowadays, in the political hall, Hua Tianxiong is the Minister of Vice Prime Minister's Affairs, and Zhang Zhuo is under him, and his rights can be imagined.

"I asked the Taifu privately today, tomorrow King Hua will come back, and the trial will be held, not to summarize the affairs of Zhaojia, but to discuss the matter of His Majesty's instructions to vote for the Prime Minister, the matter is very clear, tomorrow after the trial meeting, the arrangement will begin."

Mo Hu wanted to read something from the faces of these three people, but which one was not a 'thousand-year-old fox', except for Qi Tianshun's face with some deliberate gratitude, the rest of Mo Hu couldn't read it.

Mo Hu continued: "Taifu means that the deadline for collecting tickets is two days before the celebration is approaching, and everyone will breathe again and take out the list of accumulated votes, and there is very little room for manipulation. Mo Hu tried to provoke the emotions of these people step by step, but still did not make the expressions of the three of them change, Mo Hu smiled, and mentally thought that these people's qi cultivation kung fu is getting better and better.

"Your Majesty just said the vote, how to vote, how to vote, how many people to vote? When King Hua comes back tomorrow, Taifu will decide at the meeting, do you have any suggestions? After saying this, the expressions of the three of them changed.

Zhang Zhuo added: "This time, His Majesty asked for the announcement of the second-grade substantive positions such as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, the Deputy Auxiliary of the Cabinet, the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Sergeant Office, the Political Counselor of the Political Affairs Hall, and the Military Supervision Army. According to the actual quota, there will be 1 deputy prime minister, 1 deputy assistant to the cabinet, 2 vice chairmen of the Central Military Commissioned Office, 5 doctors in the political affairs hall, and 1 military overseer. ”

Mo Hu nodded and said, "You have all been in the upper echelons of the empire for a long time, and you know some things. But today I still have to say more, not for anything else, but I just want you to go back and think about what you have to do in the past five days. The empire is still a nine-rank zhongzheng system, but Emperor Weide abolished the first product, changed from the actual position of the first product to a virtual position, combined with the highest requirements of the 'subjects' not to give the prince, to put it bluntly, it is to give the ministers an honor and treatment. The highest real position in the empire is the second grade, and all those who enter the trial will enjoy the treatment of the second grade, but there are only 4 second-grade real positions, the chairman of the military government, the cabinet minister, the prime minister of the political hall, and the minister of the inner court, there are many from the second grade, but there are very few real positions, nothing more than what Zhang Zhuo said just now, you have to be sensible! ”

Mo Hu didn't give the three of them a chance to breathe, and then said: "Your Majesty just chose a general direction at the earliest, and we also discussed it at the time, the deputy position of the military government was given to 4 people, I originally wanted to give some treatment, give a military rank, and give some false positions, but I didn't think about determining the official position, in the final analysis, we still have some autonomy." But now that Zhaojia's matter comes out, His Majesty directly 'stabbed the rod to the end', and all of them are worthy of real positions, so we have no autonomy at all, so what should we do? ”

The three of them could see that Mo Hu did not want to establish the position of "vice chairman of the military government". Also, under the current imperial system, the vice chairman of the military government is here to divide power.

But this is what His Majesty has decreed, and how can it be disobeyed.

Zhang Zhuo thought for a while: "Let's fight for autonomy, at tomorrow's meeting, the autonomy to fight for appointment can be in our hands." ”

Mo Hu shook his head, obviously this method didn't work.

"Isn't it a vote, let's elect some of our own people and get a higher number of votes, anyway, they are all marshal's soldiers." Qi Tian Shun said.

As soon as Qi Tianshun finished speaking, Mo Hu changed his sitting position, and the other two stopped talking.

Qi Tianshun didn't feel inappropriate in the slightest.

When Qi Tianshun was about to say something, Mo Hu got up and said, "I'm tired, you guys go back, you have to be sensible recently." With that, he got up and left.

The three of them went out of the town courtyard and did not talk to each other.

But a quarter of an hour later, Mo Hu received a post, the name of the poster - Liu Zhenghang.

Sometimes, there is a tacit understanding between people, Mo Hu didn't rest at all, he got up and left, it was to express an attitude, and this attitude is only understood by one person.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Mo Hu looked at Liu Zhenghang with satisfaction.

Liu Zhenghang: "Qi Tianshun has no brains, but he can fight, don't be angry." ”

Mo Hu didn't answer this sentence, but said: "Say something." ”

Liu Zhenghang: "Although the 'wind' of voting for the prime minister has been passed on for a long time, it has now given five days to vote, and it has changed from one or two people to 13 people. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and there are several situations. ”

"Say." Mo Hu said.

"Marshal, the most clear thing about this matter is to set the future team for King Hua, the selection of Taifu has probably been outlined with His Majesty, the reason why the previous selection of 3 people to 10 people, this is for fear of problems, Taifu's consistent approach is to 'mix some sand', there are more people to choose, and there will always be people to be selected, so tomorrow there is a high probability that it will not be selected according to the actual position, and it is mostly the grade. There will even be a difference. ”

After Mo Hu heard it, he nodded and motioned to continue.

Liu Zhenghang: "5 days, this time also has a role, that is, to limit the personnel who have the right to vote, His Majesty at the beginning required that the officials of the 'three grades in Beijing, and the second rank and the upper ones outside Beijing' have the right to vote, so that the people who are qualified to vote are too wide, and it is not easy to control the control of the Taifu alone, add a time, and I can send the votes within five days I probably calculated about one hundred and twenty or thirty people, most of them are court officials in the central government, and the Taifu is easy to control. ”

Mo Hu asked, "Isn't there a telegram now?" How can there be so few people? ”
