Mo Haige saw Mo Hu's car on the way to the palace, turned his head and asked Huang Changshi: "Did King Hua call us, or did His Majesty call us?" "Huang Changshou is an old man in the palace, he knows things and understands etiquette, and when he was notified, he just said that there was something in the palace, just to prevent others from knowing. When it came to this meeting, Mo Haige asked, and Huang Changzhi said: "After King Hua came out of Xiyuan, he asked us to call you there." ”

Mo Haige pondered for a while, and then asked, "Your Majesty can pass the meal today?" ”

"I passed some gruel, and I didn't let the herbs be added." Huang Changshi's cautious answer made Mo Haige feel uncomfortable. took out a silver ticket casually and said, "Please Huang Changshi, explain it clearly." Huang Changshou said again: "Your Majesty woke up for a long time this morning, and happened to catch up with King Hua to greet him, so he let King Hua enter the West Garden. King Hua said some things about flowers outside the palace, but His Majesty didn't have any appearance. Afterwards, His Majesty gave King Hua a few excerpts that he had read yesterday, and then rested. ”

Mohag asked, "What excerpts did you read yesterday?" Huang Changshou smiled and said, "It was sent yesterday." ”

Mo Haige frowned and asked rhetorically: "Yesterday, the cabinet did not send the excerpt into the palace. ”

Huang Changshou smiled and said, "I was also strange yesterday, the political hall has rarely sent excerpts into the palace in the past few years. ”

The corners of Mo Haige's eyes jumped, thinking that this King Hua still couldn't hold his breath! My heart sank, and I sighed deeply.

When Mohag arrived outside the palace gate, he saw a man beckoning to him from a distance.

This person has a national face, sword eyebrows, extremely martial, slightly fat, but not bloated, wearing a black official uniform, excellent cut, no beard, and simple hair handling, with a kind of leader's temperament, which is a special temperament formed by being in a high position for a long time, and unlike those bureaucrats, this temperament makes people feel close and stable.

This person's name is Hua Tianxiong, Deputy Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs of the Political Affairs Hall, and his father is the deceased Du Cha's right deputy capital Shi Hua Yizhe, Mo Haige has seen Hua Yizhe, and sighed in his heart that Hua Yushi's temperament is too far away from his son.

Hua Tianxiong was also called into the palace in a daze, and when he turned his head and saw Mo Haige's car, he stopped and waited for Mo Haige.

At the same time as Mohag walked over to him, Hua Tianxiong speculated in his heart: since the last Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs, the government hall has completely been reduced to an administrative body, and the cabinet has become a decision-making body. Maybe I haven't been allowed to enter the palace for a long time, but now, Mrs. Mo is also here, I'm afraid that the matter of discussion will involve the political affairs hall, and the matter is not small. Could it be the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the north?

When Hua Tianxiong was pondering in his own heart, Mo Haige also arrived, Hua Tianxiong lowered his head, and then asked early. I thought that the two of them walked into the palace silently, but I didn't expect Mo Haige to say: "Since Prime Minister Ji Bin Zhishi, you, the vice premier, have also worked hard." ”

"Every year, I have written to His Majesty to make a request, the position of prime minister has been undecided, and I have held the political hall for more than two years, and the name is not right." Hua Tianxiong's tone was a little helpless, Hua Tianxiong is a capable minister, and the political hall is now leaderless, and it is not easy for him to ensure that the political hall will not be dispersed, chaotic, and endless.

"Your Majesty can't take care of it, and you know his body. You are also good, after all, in the past two years, there has been no major incident in the political hall. Mohag said a word of relief.

"It is all under the education of Taifu that the political hall can be stabilized." Hua Tianxiong said in a vain voice.

Mohag: "Don't be a lie. ”

When Hua Tianxiong heard this, he was also happy, and then shook his head again, and spit out a few words in an indescribable sigh: "I won't tell you, in the past two years, I have been very tired, if it weren't for the cabinet supporting me, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." ”

"King Hua has been tossed a lot since the beginning of the month, after all, when you are young and in power, you always need to know where the boundaries of power are. What he is not clear, you should be clear, there are some things that need boundaries. The first half of Mohag is still a pleasant tone, and the second half is slightly warning.

Hua Tianxiong seemed to have something to say, but after thinking about it, he shut up again. Falling half of his body, he followed Mohag towards the palace.

Mo Haige and Hua Tianxiong were taken to Wenyuan Pavilion by the three permanent attendants, which was the place where the cabinet was meeting, and at this time, Hua Tianxiong understood that there was no need to see the saint, and his steps were much more relaxed. Outside the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, a small permanent attendant who was not very familiar with him was holding the imperial order.

This imperial decree is different from the standard imperial decree, this object is three centimeters wide, 12 centimeters long, gold, and has a royal character engraved on the head. Mo Haige and Hua Tianxiong are very familiar with this imperial decree, this is one of His Majesty's paperweights, by chance, temporarily acted as a royal decree, and later His Majesty used it more and more easily, and it became an informal imperial decree, and the general ministers also agreed.

Xiao Chang waiter, when he saw Mo Haige and Hua Tianxiong, he first bowed, and then greeted him with a smile.

Mo Haige nodded and went in, Hua Tianxiong stood outside the steps of the courtyard gate, and waited for the little attendant to say: "According to the imperial order, due to state affairs, Hua Tianxiong is allowed to enter the cabinet to discuss matters." After Xiao Chang finished speaking, Hua Tianxiong entered the courtyard gate.

That's the rule of the Cabinet.

After Hua Tianxiong entered, in the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, Hua Wangan sat in the head position, Mo Haige just sat on the left side, Mo Hu sat on the right side in a marshal uniform, and one person sat on Mo Hu's side, and the other three greeted Mo Haige.

When Hua Tianxiong came in, everyone beckoned Hua Tianxiong to sit down. Hua Tianxiong sat on Mo Haig's side, and the person sitting on Mo Hu's side was a fat man with a very Maitreya statue, his clothes were not wrinkled at all, because his huge belly supported his clothes, he shaved his hair almost bald, and his tone and posture were all smiling, Hua Tianxiong also said a few words to him, smiling from time to time, but he didn't dare to scorn him, this is Wu Peihang, the vice chairman of the imperial state's political party, known as the "smiling tiger" to the outside world, this person is one of the four foreign ministers of the trial council, ranking fourth.

His Majesty founded two parties in order to learn from the British two-party system, one is the Conservative Party and the other is the Imperial State Party. The basis of the imperial state party is mainly based on the personnel at all levels of the imperial court, and is designed on the scale of the ruling party. What is ironic is that the political party of the Imperial State was not restricted at the beginning, and the court at all levels misunderstood it and became a monster, and it was due to the whim of His Majesty who concurrently served as the chairman of the imperial political party, and the imperial political party was even more out of control, and finally became an institution with the power to upload and issue and urge the subordinates to complete the instructions of the imperial court. It was given a playful abbreviation: 'Imperial Party'.

The Conservative Party, which was designed as an opposition party, was far from the Imperial Party in terms of funding and enthusiasm, and gradually evolved into a political club of the imperial family.

King Hua spoke: "Now that everyone has arrived, I have two things to talk to everyone." The first thing is that His Majesty asked the four princes to be responsible for all the foreign affairs before the 20th anniversary of his accession to the throne. Because the four princes attend various foreign affairs on behalf of the royal family, and the matter is of great importance, His Majesty asks the whole committee to explain it clearly to the four princes. ”

King Hua glanced at everyone, and then said: "Lord Hua Qian was left behind by His Majesty this time, and a few of us have seen enough. ”

Lord Huaqian, referring to Li Huaqian, is the second-ranked member of the Judicial Council.

King Hua glanced at Mo Haige, and said: "Taifu, another matter, I still want to take the opportunity to talk about a few things involving the four princes, and punish them slightly, after all, we must maintain the dignity of the imperial court." ”

Mo Haige glanced at Hua Tianxiong first, then nodded, and agreed.
