Chapter 436: The Prime Minister Resigns
When the sun rises, it also announces the beginning of the day to the world, the sun casts a slender shadow on the white sundial, and the three only glances at it and walks quickly to the imperial study, the official family has stayed here for the first time these days and did not go to the harem to spend the night.
sighed secretly, blame Wang Qixiong's bastard thing for causing trouble, and actually asked the queen mother to clean up the mess for him, now it's okay, there is already a gap between the emperor and the queen, and I don't know when I can make up for it.
The official family has not stayed in the harem for three or five days, although this imperial study also has a dragon bed, how can it be more comfortable than the bed in the harem?
Sancai was slightly distressed by the official family, but when he came to the palace, he was dumbfounded, the queen's phoenix had arrived, and it was earlier than he knew it, Sancai thought about it and understood the reason, it seems that the queen still can't stand it, and came to apologize.
Zhao Zhen has already gotten up, last night in the imperial study to modify the forbidden army dress and supply system, busy until midnight before sleeping, autumn is like this makes people sleep late and get up late, the cool morning breeze and warm quilt as if to be able to trap people, Zhao Zhen ruthlessly opened the quilt suddenly, and after a cold shiver, he fell asleep.
After getting up, he didn't see the palace maid and Sancai who appeared behind the palace tent on time every day, and when Zhao Zhen was wondering, he saw Wang Yuyan, who was dressed in plain clothes, walking with toiletries.
Zhao Zhen got up and said, "How can you let you do these things, Sancai is rarely lazy." ”
Wang Yuyan said with a smile: "The official family will not return to Funing Palace for a few days, and the concubine is not an unreasonable person. ”
It seems that she has let it go, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "Knowing your mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, Wang Qixiong's matter has exposed your shortcomings, and caring about it is chaotic!" If you had told me what happened, we wouldn't be where we are today, and paper will never be able to contain fire. ”
Wang Yuyan said aggrievedly: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, but the concubine is worried that the official family will severely punish her brother......
Zhao Zhen smiled and hugged her and said: "You are wrong, no matter what you do, I will punish him, and my relatives should be severely punished for violating the law, otherwise my Great Song Law will not be in vain?" You have to look at things from the queen's point of view, not as a sister. All I can do to my relatives is financial protection and a stable life, and they are nobles who have been supported by the Great Song Dynasty, so they should obey the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wang Yuyan nodded slightly: "Concubines shouldn't go to the Privy Council for their relatives to say ......."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well, not only that, you shouldn't even say anything for anyone, you are the mother of a country, the eyes of the world are on you, your every move represents the royal family and me, and the slightest mistake will cause gossip." But if you remember this lesson, you don't need to dwell too much on the past, because saints make mistakes. ”
The three people behind the palace tent breathed a long sigh, after so many days, the official family finally planned to forgive the queen, if it continued like this, it would return to its former appearance in a few days.
In fact, in Sancai's opinion, today's forbidden middle school is much better than any emperor's reign, the reduction of the number of palace people, the control of concubines, these have made the forbidden environment cleaner, and there are no dirty things happening.
His Majesty has only three women, and even if you count the women who gave birth to the real women, there are only four. His Majesty, who already has an heir, does not plan to draft another draft girl, and both inside and outside praise her for her indifference and lack of desire.
This is quite a rare thing for the emperor.
The result of the purge of the harem is that there is no mess, and the reputation of the official family and the queen has been guaranteed, since Wang Qixiong's matter came out, although Cao Wei sold the queen a face, but the courtiers inside and outside basically knew.
It's basically impossible to hide this kind of thing from outsiders.
As long as the official family can let go of the knot and get back together with the queen, it won't have much impact.
The queen's reputation among the people is very good, she set up a righteous school, adopted orphans, and set up an immortal tablet that is not inferior to the official family.
Seeing the two walking out hand in hand, Sancai hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Official, the court meeting in Daqing Hall will start for a while, why don't you have breakfast with Niangniang first?" ”
Wang Yuyan's expectant eyes made Zhao Zhen a little embarrassed to refuse, and nodded and said, "It's okay, eat something to pad your stomach, there are still many things to discuss at today's court meeting." Bring both Rosewood and Vera together. ”
Zhao Zhen feels that he hasn't been with his family for a long time, and it is inevitable that time will not allow it.
Wang Zeng is too old to be qualified for the job of prime minister, and Zhao Zhen intends to allow his resignation at the court meeting today, and ask the government hall to recommend a new minister of the prime minister.
Vera cleverly brought her children, four or five years old is the most fun age for children, the atmosphere at the dinner table is naturally very harmonious, Zhao Zhen left satisfied, Wang Yuyan said to the two women: "Thank you two for coming to help, the official family is not angry, this palace owes you two a big favor." ”
Vera smiled and waved her hand: "This is not necessary, it is within the effort of raising your hands." ”
Yang Caiwei became a little lonely: "Niangniang still has family to accompany her, but I am only alone......"
Vera shook her head and said, "Sister, that's wrong, aren't we your family?" And the official family! ”
Yang Caiwei smiled reluctantly and stopped talking.
In the majestic Daqing Palace, the old Wang Zeng went out to resign, which was expected by everyone, his Wang Zeng was already very old, and he had reached the age of resignation, so many years he had saved a good reputation for himself enough for his family to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty.
It was the time to retire, but it still depends on whether the official family agrees with his resignation, but to the surprise of the courtiers, Zhao Zhen readily agreed this time, and gave a very grand reward, not to mention a bunch of glorious titles, and was also given the title of servant.
Even if Wang Zeng resigned, it was equivalent to obtaining the post of honorary prime minister, after all, the word "servant" was the name of the prime minister from the Han to the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen issued edicts one after another, and a series of major events echoed in the Daqing Palace, hitting the spirit of the courtiers like a huge wave: "The officials of the two prefectures went to the political hall to discuss the candidates for the post of Pingzhang under the Zhongshu Sect after the dispersal of the dynasty, and the selection of people was to be decided and then entered the Zichen Palace. ”
I didn't expect the official family to start the screening of the next prime minister so soon, but it had to be vacant for a long time before it was discussed, leaving a little respect for the former prime minister, everyone suddenly wondered, no wonder they wanted to give Wang Zeng such a decent resignation.
Zhao Zhen saw that many courtiers were surprised and said: "Pingzhang is a country's chief minister, the relationship is very powerful in the Great Song Dynasty, and the decision to deal with political affairs is an important position in the imperial court, how can it be vacant for a long time, from today onwards, the candidates for Pingzhang must be drawn up before the resignation of the past, without delay." ”
Wang Zeng was thoughtful, and he was the first to go out and echo: "Your Majesty's move is really beneficial to the country and the people!" ”
Seeing that Wang Zeng is like this, the rest of the officials will naturally not object, but this gives some juniors an earlier opportunity to go further, why not?
