Koharuko has been in high spirits lately, and she walks with the wind. Now he is the former head of the palace, although he doesn't care about the specific room, he reliably serves the emperor, and the people in the palace have to shout "Spring Manager" when they see him.

He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was suddenly in a high position, and the pride in his body could not be concealed at all.

After watching him leave the Chongning Hall with the holy decree in his hand, he straightened his waist and walked up with his head shaken.

Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Chunzi's temperament is really not very good, and sooner or later she will get into trouble." ”

"Then it depends on his understanding." Liang Jia watched Xiao Haruko's figure disappear into the distance, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Today, Liang Jia asked him to go to Liu Zhongzhi's mansion to upload the decree. As for the content of the holy decree, it will definitely surprise Liu Zhongzhi.

Riding a tall horse, followed by four little eunuchs and four guards, Xiao Chunzi felt that his style was absolutely powerful, and the eyes of passers-by on the street were all envy of him in his eyes.

All the way to Liu Zhongzhi's house, looking at the tall gatehouse, Xiao Chunzi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. If he had put it aside, he would have bent down and bowed and said hello everywhere when he got here, for fear of offending others.

But now, he is not afraid, and he does not get off the horse and waits at the gate for Liu Zhongzhi to pick him up.

When the holy decree arrived, Liu Zhongzhi naturally wanted to open the main door to greet him. However, a quarter of an hour has passed, and Liu Zhongzhi has not yet appeared.

Koharuko began to get impatient, and her originally smiling face also darkened.

Two quarters of an hour later, the door of Liu's Mansion slowly opened, and Liu Zhongzhi walked out alone. He didn't wear an official uniform, just a robe casually draped.

Haruko's face became more and more difficult to look at. After receiving the holy decree, instead of dressing neatly, the whole family, young and old, came to kneel and greet him. This Lord Liu doesn't take the emperor too seriously, right?

"Lord Liu, you have made our family wait for a long time. It doesn't matter if our family arrives, but the holy decree in our hands has been waiting for a long time, and it is difficult for our family to explain it. ”

"Then declare it." Liu Zhongzhi raised his eyelids, not caring at all. In his opinion, opening the front door is enough to save face.

"Lord Liu just took the order?"

"Is there anything else to prepare? If you want to announce it, hurry up, I have to think about it behind closed doors. ”

Xiao Chunzi's face was red from choking, but thinking of the task of this trip, he had to hold back the anger in his heart and open the holy decree.

"Lord Liu doesn't kneel either?" was about to read it, but Liu Zhongzhi was still there, and he didn't mean to kneel at all.

"It doesn't matter."

"You are disrespectful, you are not afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

"Punishment? Hehe. Liu Zhongzhi looked contemptuous. Of course he knows what is happening in the palace, but can he take power if he masters the palace? The one in the palace thought too simply.

Since the Queen Mother doesn't say anything now, it's up to him to do it. Even if he thinks about it behind closed doors now, he is still the minister of the administration department, and he is still the important minister of the former emperor's trust.

"Lord Liu, you ......" Xiao Chunzi was completely speechless.

opened the holy decree, hurriedly read the content, got on the horse and left directly.

Originally, I was interested in passing the decree, and I wanted to experience the feeling of being respected and cared for by important ministers of the court, but it was directly ignored, and this feeling was really too embarrassing.

After Xiao Chunzi left, Liu Zhongzhi returned home with the holy decree. The door closed, and immediately a crowd poured out, including his colleagues and subordinates, as well as his sons.

Everyone came to a flower hall and sat down, Liu Zhongzhi directly put the holy decree on the table, and then sat down indifferently.

Others gathered around to watch the contents of the decree.

"Father, what does this decree of the Emperor mean? How can you be the general of the city defense battalion for no reason? Liu Zhongzhi's eldest son, Liu Xie, spoke suspiciously.

"Father, I think you should be the one who should do this." Liu Zhongzhi's second son, Liu Meng, expressed his views.

"No." An old man spoke out against it.

"Why not? My father became the general of the city defense battalion, and with the cooperation of our manpower, he would soon be able to control hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city defense battalion. At that time, everyone in the capital will be under our control. Liu Meng said.

Meng'er's words are not unreasonable. Lord Yang, why do you think it can't be? Liu Zhongzhi spoke.

That Lord Yang is in his forties, and Yang Laifu, the official soldier of the military department. If Zheng Yechuan knew that his secret ally was here, he would probably be half angry.

"My lord, although the city defense battalion is in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, as long as it is in control, it can control the life and death of hundreds of people in the capital. However, the risks are also significant. Today's performance of the adults will definitely reach the ears of the emperor, and I believe that the emperor will definitely start planning to get rid of the adults.

Now that the Queen Mother is no longer coming forward, everything has to rely on the adults to transfer in the center. If you enter the city defense camp, not only will you lose the help of personnel, but it is estimated that Lord Xu will not cooperate in terms of financial resources. ”

"But the decree does not say that my father should be removed from his position as Minister of Administration." Liu Meng continued.

"Definitely. But if he accepted the position of general of the city defense battalion, the minister of the administration department could not continue to the present. If he takes over the city defense battalion and continues to be in the position of minister of the administrative department, even people from our family will have opinions. Internal division is a taboo in doing things. ”

"In addition, the system of the Administration Office has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for more than 200 years. How can the decisions made by the words of the Minister of Administration be comparable to those of a military general? ”

"Makes sense." Liu Zhongzhi nodded in approval.

"Is that not to accept this holy decree? But in this case, will the emperor remove his father from his position in the administration office on the grounds of resisting the decree? Liu Meng immediately thought of the key place.

"It's hard to say. I don't understand what I'm doing today. Yang Laifu groaned.

According to his insight and understanding, it is not that there has never been an emperor like Liang Jia in the Great Liang Kingdom. Ascended to the throne at a young age, and fell into power. But before, everyone secretly accumulated strength, and then made a thunderous blow, killing a river of blood, and then successfully took power.

But in the palace, many of the behaviors are completely childish in the eyes of those of them who have been immersed in officialdom for decades. For example, throwing out the bait of the first and auxiliary ministers of the administration department when he is no longer in power, this kind of low-level divisive behavior is really extremely clumsy.

It's a pity that Yang Laifu felt that his low-level behavior succeeded in splitting the monolithic Governance Office. Now that Liu Zhongzhi has been dismissed as the first assistant minister and succeeded by Ge Mingxuan, the forces of Liu and Ge have suddenly gone from cooperating with each other to opposing sides.

Yang Laifu can only sigh that people's hearts are unpredictable. Anyone can see the emperor's purpose, but he can't resist the temptation of this position as the head of civil officials.

"Whether you understand it or not, the general trend is still on our side. Meng'er, you will personally go to the Zheng Mansion tomorrow with gifts to propose marriage. Liu Zhongzhi suddenly changed the subject.

"Father, didn't Zheng Yechuan refuse? Why are we going to rush to propose? Liu Meng was in a cold sweat. Zheng Yechuan's daughter is famous, and he doesn't want to marry.

"You know a fart, let you go, it's best to go once a day, with great fanfare." Liu Zhongzhi roared.
