Chapter 173: Listening to the Government (I)
As soon as Li Yonghe's words came out, Li Zhang understood what he meant, the so-called other concubines actually wanted to ask Li Zhang if he had seen his sister, that is, Li Zhang's aunt Li Wanyi, but Li Yonghe didn't dare to ask directly, after all, their family is now nominally Liu E's relatives.
"Before His Majesty died, he summoned the concubines in the palace, and I also saw some, but I didn't dare to take a closer look." Li Zhang secretly sighed and replied, although he knew what Li Yonghe was going to ask, he couldn't answer directly.
"Ah, that's right." Li Yonghe also showed a disappointed expression after hearing this, and then said with a forced laugh, "Although we are relatives of the Queen Mother, we should not be unsightly, and we should be polite when we see the nobles in the palace, so as not to lose the courtesy." ”
"Well, I will, I'll go back and rest if there's nothing to do." Li Zhang also said very calmly.
"Okay, I'm going to rest too!" Li Yonghe laughed dryly at this time, and then left directly.
Looking at the back of Li Yonghe leaving, Li Zhang was silent for a moment and finally turned to leave, in fact, he also wanted to see his aunt, but now is not the time, especially when Zhao Heng has just died, and Liu E is in power for the first time, it is the most sensitive time, he must not touch Liu E's taboo at this time.
Zhao Heng's funeral was being prepared in an orderly manner, Zhao Zhen also officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and Liu E also began to listen to the government, but there was another thing that happened during this period, that is, after Zhao Heng's death, the governor of politics Wang Zeng drafted Zhao Heng's edict, which has a sentence "Military affairs and power to take the punishment of the queen mother", which is also Zhao Heng's original words, but Ding Wei suddenly proposed at this time that he wanted to remove the word "right" in it.
The so-called "right" is the meaning of temporary and agency, that is, the imperial power is temporarily handed over to Liu E, and it will be returned to Zhao Zhen in the future, but if the power is removed, there will be no time limit, and the difference between one word is a world of difference. At this time, Ding Wei leaned towards the government and the opposition, and other ministers did not dare to object, and in the end, Wang Zeng objected, saying that this was against the ancestral system, and the last words of the first emperor were like this, so he refused to change it no matter what, and Ding Wei could not refute it, so he had to do it.
"Cousin, what do you mean by this, his father has just died, and he dares to tamper with his father's last words so blatantly, it's bold!" When Zhao Zhen saw Li Zhang on this day, he immediately complained to him angrily.
Seeing Zhao Zhen's angry appearance, Li Zhang smiled calmly and said, "What does the eldest lady think about this matter?" ”
As soon as Liu E was mentioned, I saw Zhao Zhen's little face show a little angry look again: "What I don't understand is the eldest lady, Ding Wei is so bold, the eldest lady should have reprimanded him, but the eldest lady didn't say anything, could she really ......?"
"Ahem!" Before Zhao Zhen could say anything more excessive, Li Zhang interrupted him with a loud cough, which made Zhao Zhen finally come to his senses, and sat on the side stupidly and didn't speak again.
"Actually, Ding Wei may not have any good intentions in doing this, and he may even want to separate the relationship between your mother and son, and by the way, he can also make the eldest lady relax her vigilance against him!" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment at this time and finally spoke, he was afraid that Zhao Zhen would really have any suspicions about Liu E, and once there was a rift in the relationship, it would be much more difficult to make up for it in the future.
"Cousin, do you mean that Ding Wei wants to take advantage of the death of his father and emperor to separate our mother and son, and by the way, seize power from the eldest lady?" Zhao Zhen was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of Li Zhang's words.
"Yes, everyone used to say that Kou Xiang was in power, but in my opinion, Ding Wei's ambition is greater, and Kou Xiang's dictatorship is at least for the public interest, but Ding Wei is only for his own selfish interests, if he is really put in power, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will also make a living because of this!" Li Zhang immediately affirmed that these are things that have happened a long time ago in history, which is also his biggest advantage.
"Then what should I do, Young Master Li was also demoted to other places as an official, and Ding Wei was the only family in the court, in case he really set up the eldest lady, wouldn't all the decrees be from Ding Wei alone?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show an anxious look when he heard this, he and Liu E are mother and son after all, so in his opinion, it is better for Liu E to be in charge of the imperial power than Ding Wei, an outsider.
"Don't worry, the eldest lady is not so easy to be fooled, Ding Wei is okay if he is honestly his prime minister, if he is not honest, the eldest lady will definitely clean him up!" Li Zhang comforted with a smile, he had absolute confidence in Liu E's methods, for example, in the original history, Liu E was also very easy to clean up Ding Wei.
"Big lady can really clean up Ding Wei?" Although Zhao Zhen is Liu E's son, his confidence in her is not as good as Li Zhang.
"Don't worry about this, the eldest lady naturally has her plans, you will honestly guard the soul of the emperor now, and wait until the emperor is buried, and then study hard and grow up quickly, so that you can share some of the burden for the eldest lady in the future!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder at this time and said, although Zhao Zhen is already the emperor, they are still very casual when they get along in private.
"I see!" Zhao Zhen also nodded heavily at this time, in fact, he was also impulsive just now, and now that he calmed down, he also knew that he was too young, no matter how anxious he was, he still couldn't do anything.
"Huh? Why didn't you see Lei Yungong, didn't he follow you every day? Li Zhang suddenly turned his head and looked around at this time, because they were talking, so the palace maids around him were far away, but in the past, Lei Yungong would be in Zhao Zhen's sight, so when there was anything to tell him, he just had to wave his hand.
"Hmph, Lei Yungong, the villain, has long been in love with Ding Wei, especially when Young Master Li was demoted before, Lei Yungong also contributed to it, and even made him and Ding Wei embarrassed, and he didn't take me seriously for a long time!" When Zhao Zhen heard Lei Yungong's name, he was also annoyed again, he didn't like Lei Yungong in the first place, and now he was even more disgusted with him.
"He is so bold, is he really not afraid that the eldest lady will deal with him?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this, after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Lei Yungong also jumped from the eunuch of the East Palace to the number one eunuch in the palace, although Zhao Zhen has no real power, but it does not affect Lei Yungong's status, so now Lei Yungong is hot in the palace.
As the so-called "say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives", as soon as Li Zhang's words fell, I saw Lei Yungong actually walk in from outside the hall, and saw Zhao Zhen also smiled and stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, there was news from the political hall just now, saying that the matter of listening to the government that the queen mother asked the political hall to discuss has been fruitful!" ”
"What result?" Although Zhao Zhen didn't like Lei Yungong, he didn't tear his face, after all, Lei Yungong was originally promoted by Liu E, and there was Ding Wei behind him, so Zhao Zhen could tolerate Lei Yungong staying by his side.
According to Zhao Heng's last words, Liu E must have to listen to the government, but since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the first time that a woman has listened to the government, so how to listen to the government still needs the ministers to negotiate a charter.
"Ding Xiang and others discussed it, and decided that during the court meeting on the first and fifteenth days of the first month of each month, His Majesty will meet with the ministers in the Zichen Hall and listen to government affairs, while the eldest lady will listen to the government in the Wende Hall next to it, of course, this requires the ministers to run on both sides, although it is harder, but the courtiers share the worries for Your Majesty, which is also what should be done!" Lei Yungong smiled again.
"Oh, I see!" Zhao Zhen nodded at the moment and said, the court meeting is also divided into several kinds, such as the first day of the first month of the first day of the big court, only once a year, in addition to the first day of the month, the fifteenth day of the two days of the court meeting, because the first day of the new year is Shuo, the fifteenth is the hope, so it is also called the Shuowang court, in addition to the daily Changchao, and within a day is divided into the morning and noon.
Among these court meetings, the big court meeting is only once a year, and it is mainly ceremonial in nature, Zhao Zhen must participate, as for the Shuowang court meeting is also more important, mainly to discuss some important government affairs, which also needs Zhao Zhen to participate, and the Chang Dynasty is mainly to deal with some daily government affairs, Zhao Zhen is still young, there is no need to participate, otherwise he participates in the court meeting every day, and there is no time to study at all.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that for Zhao Zhen, the court meeting is just a boring task for him, after all, he can't understand the government affairs that the ministers say, and in the end he still needs Liu E's approval, so it doesn't matter to him whether he participates or not, and he can even sleep a little longer if he doesn't participate.
"Then Your Majesty means that you agree, and the slave will go back to the government hall!" Lei Yungong saw Li Zhang nodding, and he also said with a happy expression at the moment, the political affairs hall is also the place where the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty handles government affairs, and now it is naturally headed by Ding Wei.
"Wait a minute!" But just as Lei Yungong was about to turn around, Li Zhang suddenly stood up and said.
"Is there something wrong with Li Banyu?" Lei Yungong couldn't help but stop at this time and asked again.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that I think that listening to such a big thing as politics still needs the Queen Mother's nod!" Li Zhang said with a smile at this time, and when he spoke, he also quietly stretched out his finger and poked Zhao Zhen's back.
Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang had already cultivated a tacit understanding, and when they heard Li Zhang's words, they immediately came to their senses, and said again at the moment: "I think what my cousin said is good, such a big thing, you let Ding Xiang go to the eldest lady, as long as the eldest lady nods, I will definitely agree!" ”
Lei Yungong, who was originally full of smiles, was stiff at this time, and then looked at Li Zhang deeply, but Li Zhang was not timid, and looked at him with a smile at this time, and finally Lei Yungong finally lowered his head and said: "Slave obeys!" ”
"Cousin, why didn't you let me agree just now, is there anything wrong with the method they discussed?" As soon as Lei Yungong left, Zhao Zhen asked Li Zhang impatiently.
