The next morning, the initial emperor looked down from the Jintai curtain, and did not find Xiahou Ba's figure in the court.

This is because Xiahou Ba has already stepped down from the Zhongshu Order, but he has not yet taken office as Otsuka Zai, and he has no errands for a while, so naturally he does not have to go to the court. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the original emperor appointed his son to take over the Zhongshu Order. If someone else takes over, Xiahouba will definitely wait until the day he takes office before handing over the Great Seal of the Zhongshu Ling.

In any case, for the first time in more than ten years, I didn't see Xiahou Ba in the last dynasty, and the initial emperor felt that the sky was blue, the wind was softer, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were much more pleasing to the eye, which was really unprecedented relief!

"It turns out that the widow is not resisting the court, but he just doesn't want to see the old horseman......" The original emperor whispered to Du Hui on the side and smiled.

"Hehe......" Du Hui laughed dryly, unable to answer. Under the imperial stairs, the new Zhongshu Ling is still talking.

Xiahou did not hurt to quote the scriptures there, and according to the old calendar of the previous dynasty, he set the authority of Otsuka Zai for his Laozi. Otsuka Zai is an official position set up by the Western Qin and Eastern Qi for the ministers, and Daxuan has never set it up before, so naturally the treatment authority needs to be drawn up from scratch.

"The former dynasty set up six officials according to the "Zhou Li", set up the Tianguan Mansion, with Otsuka Zaiqing as the main official, commanding hundreds of officials, taking charge of national affairs, and civil and military affairs were all decided by Otsuka Zai......" Xiahou did not hurt and chattered, and it was a meaning to put it bluntly, and in the future, the major and minor affairs of the court were all under his father's control.

Except for the officials of the Xiahou Valve family, they listened attentively, and all the officials in the court looked sluggish and yawned repeatedly. Even Pei Valve and Cui Valve's people showed impatient expressions. They originally came from a faction, and they couldn't even control Zhongshu Province, but whether or not to punish Zang in the future would be directly decided by Xiahou Valve, how could they be happy?

It's just that the high-level leaders of the two valves have been asking them to be obedient and not talk too much, so these people pinched their noses and became wooden people.

But the initial emperor was in a good mood, and he patiently listened to Xiahou's chatter without injury, and then said with a smile: "Zhongshu has made this homework serious, it seems that there is no problem at all to take the class of the old county king." ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize." Xiahou smiled modestly and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

"It's not that you don't know that widows have always ignored trivialities. It turned out that your father did these things on your behalf, and you don't need to ask for instructions on everything, go back and negotiate with the people in Zhongshu Province to quickly negotiate a charter, and bring it to the widow to use the seal. ”

The first emperor smiled indifferently: "Don't let your old father wait too long, he will misunderstand the widow." ”

"Your Majesty said with a smile, my father has a deep impression of Your Majesty, and every day he teaches us to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and to be diligent in the king's affairs." Seeing that the initial emperor did not mean to make a hindrance, Xiahou naturally reciprocated with a few beautiful words.

"Okay, this matter is decided, the top priority of Zhongshu Province after you take office is to draft a charter for Otsuka Zai!" The initial emperor slapped the board and put an end to this lengthy topic.

Xiahou was not sad and satisfied to return to the court, and Lu Xin came out and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has his own music."

"Speak." The Initial Emperor bowed slightly.

The hundred officials also came to the spirit, stretched out their ears to listen to what Lu Xin had to say, Lu Shangshu, who was full of fighting spirit, would never let them down.

"In the past, the government and the opposition discussed a lot of things, and hundreds of officials turned against each other, which has greatly affected the normal operation of the imperial court." I heard Lu Xin propose in a deep voice: "For the ministers, I have the courage to implore Your Majesty to announce the temporary postponement of the establishment of the heir, and give the princes the opportunity to practice, so that in the past few years, which is better and which is inferior, has its own public opinion, and when the matter of the country is discussed again, there will not be such a big debate." ”

"Hmm......" This is what the original emperor meant, Huangfu Yu naturally would not oppose himself, he set his eyes on Xiahou and said: "What is the meaning of the Zhongshu order?" ”

"Lu Shangshu is old and serious about this, and the minister has no opinion." Xiahou replied simply and neatly. The initial emperor didn't make a hindrance, so he naturally had to tacitly repay the favor.

"Since there is no opinion on the Zhongshu Order, then the widow will be as good as a stream." The first emperor waved his hand and said: "The fact that there is such a big controversy about the matter of the country this time shows that the widow's sons are still very unsuccessful, and none of them can convince the public." Lu Shangshu was right, they really need to be experienced. ”

Saying that, the first emperor looked at Cui Yan and said, "Please ask Lao Lingjun for this matter, arrange a seat for them in the sixth department, and have a good experience for a few years." ”

"Obey." Cui Yan is naturally indispensable.

There was no expected dispute, and no one tried to delay, and the dispute over the national capital, which had disturbed the court for months, was put on hold in this way. It was very disappointing to the officials who wanted to see the excitement.

The various ministries played a few more painless things, and Du Hui announced his retirement from the dynasty.

。

Back in Changle Palace, the initial emperor called Lu Yun to come over and play chess with him.

Lu Yun has been back to Luodu for a month, so naturally he has already canceled his vacation and returned to the boring life in the forbidden place.

"Play fast chess today, don't take a long test."

The Initial Emperor greeted Lu Yun with great interest, and he couldn't wait to settle down on the Tianyuan seat.

"Yes!" Lu Yun responded with a smile, and also dropped a black chess piece casually.

The two of them went back and forth, and they flew like flies, which made Du Hui, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, dazzled.

After just one meal, the winner and loser of this game of chess were divided, and the initial emperor won a big victory.

"Hahaha, it's enjoyable, it's enjoyable!" The initial emperor threw the chess pieces into the chess box, stretched his waist comfortably, and said, "The widow hasn't been so relaxed for a long time. ”

"Your Majesty is a person, and you are in good spirits when you are happy." Du Hui smiled while neatly packing up the chess pieces.

"yes, it's been a long time since the widow slept well." The first emperor crossed his feet, leaned back on the soft couch, put his hands behind his head and said, "I can finally sleep peacefully tonight." ”

Saying that, he closed his eyes and muttered, "It's really not good, don't worry about it, let the old man be his Otsuka Zai......"

"Your Majesty is joking, isn't he?" Lu Yun was shocked to realize that the initial emperor was going to habitually shrink his head again, and immediately said: "This Otsuka Zai is called an auxiliary minister, but he is actually a vice emperor and a fake emperor!" As long as he is given a year or two, Da Xuan will change hands, and the fake emperor will become the real emperor! ”

"Hehe, the widow just said it." The Initial Emperor was embarrassed by Lu Yun's words, sat up and scratched his head, "Don't take it seriously." ”

"This idea can be had by us as courtiers, but Your Majesty must not have it." Lu Yun said in a deep voice: "Xiahou Ba wants to replace Your Majesty, we, the sons of the gate lords, are a big deal to abandon the official position, and he can't help us." But can Your Majesty give him the world? Even if His Majesty really took the initiative to give up the world, would he allow His Majesty to live in the world? The reason why His Majesty threw out Otsuka Jae to lure the enemy was not to break the cauldron and cut off his own back road? At this time, if you have the idea of reluctance because of a temporary peace, isn't it just digging your own grave and bringing about your own destruction?! ”

Lu Yun said that the initial emperor Khan was like rain, and he hurriedly got up and saluted him with fists: "Thanks to the Qing family, the widow almost missed a big thing." ”
