Spring is in full swing, and time is short. When the end of spring was coming to an end, rain finally fell in the north, alleviating the crisis of drought that lasted for more than half a year.

Because some time ago, the disaster-stricken counties and counties drew on the experience of the Longshou Canal and opened canals to irrigate farmland where there was a water source, thus effectively resisting the drought, so this year's spring plowing and sowing were not greatly affected.

After this timely rain, the fields are full of greenery, and everything grows.

Because of the merit of digging the Longshou Canal, Chang'an Ling Jidian was appointed by the emperor as the lord and commander, in charge of the rewards and rewards of the titles of the princes of the clan and their descendants.

Ji Di has been in charge of the Chang'an Mansion for many years, and with his majesty and iron face, he has deterred the small people, suppressed the strong, judged fairly, protected the weak, and maintained the prosperity and stability of the Chang'an Market.

When he left, all the people were reluctant to give up and sent each other with tears. Of course, there are also a group of gentlemen in the capital who celebrate with their crowns, since the "Living Hades" are gone, they can't take care of these idle things, and the good days of the buddies are coming! Hahaha!

It seems that this is just the beginning, and with the transfer of Ji Di, a series of changes in the situation began.

A large number of young officials have been promoted and appointed, especially the young talents selected by Cilin Yuan some time ago, who have been in the Imperial Court for so long, and have long been familiar with various court regulations. Everyone can see that this group of emperors' favorites will definitely be used in the next few years.

And the two appointments announced later shook the world.

To everyone's surprise, Sun Hong, an old Confucian scholar who was unknown not long ago, took over the position of Imperial Doctor, and after the news came out, it couldn't help but be a big surprise!

In the Han Dynasty system, the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the imperial historian were the three highest positions in the imperial court, collectively known as the three dukes. Historically, people who have not been virtuous and talented have not been able to hold the position. What virtue does this sixty-year-old Gongsun Hong have? To be able to step into such a high position in one step!

There are naturally a lot of discussions in the outside world, but if someone with a heart takes a closer look at Gongsun Hong's promotion trajectory, they will understand that this person is already in the emperor's heart, so why is it strange that he has risen to the top!

In the early winter of last year, the imperial court issued a recruitment order, which specifically stated that the officials and people of the world who were familiar with the affairs of the world and were familiar with the art of the ancestors were recruited to come to Chang'an to respond to the edict.

At that time, there were as many as 100 people who came to Chang'an in response to the edict, and they were all talents who read the scriptures pushed by counties and counties from all over the country. Gongsun Hong's strategy was not in the eyes of Tai Changqing, and it was unusual, so he was rated the lowest, and when he presented it to the imperial review, he was placed at the bottom.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor read the short policy of a few hundred words, he was right in his mind, and immediately Zhu Biquan was set as the first place, worshiped as a doctor, and waited for the edict Golden Horse Gate for later use.

Then in less than half a year, he was promoted several times, from an ordinary doctor to an official of Taichang Temple, and then moved to Zuo Neishi, and today he worships as one of the three princes.

This kind of promotion speed is really like opening a plug-in, which is extremely rare. This made those officials of the DPRK and China, who had not moved in their positions for decades, very jealous, and looked sideways at Gongsun Hong, looked at him with disdain, and thought to themselves in their hearts: "Old coffin, it's great to read a few books?" If you climb so high, you are not afraid of falling to your death! Wait and see, sooner or later, you will look good....... ”

Jealousy, disdain, swearing, there are many people who have these thoughts. But it wasn't long before they saw the new Imperial Doctor's methods, and no one dared to despise him any more! At most, he will only hide in the corner, gritting his teeth and scolding with hatred, "Old and not dead, it is for thieves!" ”

Contrary to the situation that Gongsun Hong became the imperial historian, the front of the door was deserted, not far from Zhuque Street, in the adjacent Zhuyi Lane, the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the crowd of people who came to congratulate him in the past few days was bustling, and the threshold was about to be broken.

Just a few days ago, a long-rumored gossip was finally confirmed. Wu'an Hou Tian Ying worships for the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!

The edict of the Son of Heaven has been issued in China and abroad, and has reached counties and counties across the country. Tian Jue, the captain of the Han Dynasty, was officially promoted to the prime minister.

In folklore, Tian Jue, who has been snubbed by the emperor for a long time, is because he has dedicated an immortal master who knows the art of immortality and won the joy of the dragon's face, which regained the emperor's favor.

But no matter how unbearable the rumors are outside, the temptation of power cannot resist the enthusiasm of those who tend to be inflammatory. If you don't come to the stove at this time, when will you wait?

The whole Zhuyi Alley is filled with people who come to give gifts and congratulations, and the traffic is busy, coming and going, and it is as lively as catching a big set. The visiting officials and nobles rode in carriages all the way to Suzaku Street.

The family members of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an also trembled at this time, some time ago, their own master was dormant at home, thinking about it behind closed doors, and even they had to be people with their tails between their legs when they went out.

Now that it's okay, the Taiwei Mansion has become the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't look at it as the three princes of the dynasty, the difference between them is big. In the Han Dynasty system, the Taiwei was only in charge of military affairs, and the prime minister was in charge of the whole government.

As the saying goes, "heavy generals in wartime, heavy faces in peacetime". It is said that in the years of war, the imperial court will implement the politics of the first army, and all resources will be inclined to the military, so the generals who lead the three armies are the most important. In the modern Chengping period, the position of the prime minister who is the regent of the Son of Heaven and the general leader of the whole situation is more important than anything else.

Responsible for receiving Zhang Luo inside and outside the palace gate is Tian Shaoqi, the young son of Tian Jue. This gentleman looked arrogant, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the sky.

My father finally became the first person in the dynasty, and after that, he was going to go sideways in Chang'an City, and he dared to say more if he didn't have long eyes!

At this time, he was walking back and forth, watching the housekeeper Tian Yi lead people to receive congratulatory gifts and register and make a book. As long as the people who come to the door, they are all people who think they can make friends with Wu Anhou on weekdays, and the gifts they bring are naturally extremely rich.

Pearl agate, coral jadeite, rare treasures...... Large and small boxes are piled up in the storeroom. Tian Shaoqi occasionally picked up a random piece and tasted it when he was walking around, which provoked a group of gentlemen who followed him to praise loudly, praising this young marquis for his erudition and extraordinary vision.

These days, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is such a scene, with a large banquet and a large banquet for guests, and it is like flowing water every day. It was really prosperous, and it was cooking oil! Looking at the stack of higher and higher gift lists in front of him, Tian Jue's old face wrinkled like an orange peel with a smile, and his eyes couldn't see.

Ji Fu, the henchman who was accompanying him, looked at Tian Jue's face, and took advantage of the time when there was no one around, and quietly stepped forward to offer a few words that he had been trying to say in the past few days.

"Master Hou, you have waited for so many years and finally ascended to the position of prime minister, it is the time when you need to be low-key and humble and cultivate a good reputation, so as to lay the foundation for becoming a famous minister in the future, leaving a name in history! How can it be so extravagant and extravagant as it is now, and so unscrupulous...... Accepting the property of officials, this will reach the ears of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it will be bad for the reputation of the Hou Ye! ”

Tian Jue heard the heartfelt words of the most trusted mastermind, and the smile on his face did not decrease at all. He looked at Ji Fu meaningfully, this person has been following him for more than 20 years, he is loyal, and his resourcefulness is also first-class, it seems that it is time for him to know some of his plans.

In the back garden of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, in a hidden secret room, Ji Fu was slightly surprised in his heart. Looking at the look on Tian Jue's face, he had a hunch that what he was about to hear today would be a little unusual.

Tian Jue didn't go around the bush, and he needed to rely on these henchmen to do many things in the future, and he had to make them understand what his true intentions were.

"Ji Fu, you have been with me for so many years, and you have done a lot of things for the Hou Mansion, I have seen these in my eyes and remembered them in my heart. Although you are smart and resourceful, it is a pity that you have not been an official in the court, and you do not understand the mysteries of court politics. Hehe! ”

Ji Fu was a little gloomy, he was a son of a big family of a certain dynasty, because he was involved in a major crime of rebellion, he was connected by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he escaped by luck, and since then he has been incognito, and after several tosses, he threw himself into the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an, and only by virtue of his own knowledge in his chest did he gain the trust of Tian Jue and live here. But in this life, I naturally have no chance to do it.

"The student is stupid, please make it clear to Master Hou." He arched his hand, earnest.

"Actually, when today's son succeeded to the throne for a few years, throwing that captain's hat on my head was just to reward the little nephew and uncle in the early years. I think I'm Tian Jue, but I'm just from the market, although I know a little bit of power change, but I can't get a knife and gun, I can't get on a war horse, send troops to set up formations, transfer troops and send generals, hehe, I don't know anything! The Great Han Taiwei, one of the three princes of the imperial court, is just a false name to me. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Jue's always gloomy face actually showed bitterness. Ji Fu sat respectfully, listening to his master's rare heart.

"Our emperor, don't look young, but it's not simple! He is now giving me the prime minister, which is the same as the original lieutenant, except that he uses my uncle as a pawn that can be moved around at any time. With me, a person who is not a threat in his eyes, occupying this position and eliminating the thoughts of many people, he will be much more relieved. The power is in his own hands, and the next big thing he wants to do will surely reduce many unnecessary fetters, which is the far-reaching concern of the Sacred Heart. ”

For Ji Fu, such a high-level insider is untouchable, and he can't think of this. At this time, listening to Tian Jue's words, I was shocked in my heart.

In this way, is the true purpose of the Son today...... Do you want to gradually reduce the power of the prime minister and strengthen the imperial power? ”

Wu Anhou looked at his mastermind with relief, and he really saw the extraordinary, and he saw through something hidden behind it at a glance.

"From what I've secretly observed, that's how it should be. Some time ago, Dou Ying suddenly resigned, and there was a lot of discussion in the outside world, and I don't know why. Now that I think about it, either this cunning old guy smelled something bad himself, or he got a hint from Changle Palace! Therefore, from now on, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, this seemingly infinitely beautiful position, has become a furnace, and before he understands what the emperor is going to do next, whoever sits on it will be in danger of being roasted! ”

"Students get it! That's why Hou Ye accepted money and property in such a big way, and he was extravagant. I just want to show the world that I am doing nothing, so that Weiyang Palace can be more at ease, right? ”

The new prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Wu'an Hou Tianxuan, patted his henchman on the shoulder with admiration, and laughed. Of course, his intentions can be known to him, and he is not afraid to let others know, but no one can guess the crazy ambitions in the deepest part of his heart!
