Text Chapter 204 Wind and rain Chang'an Jiangshan Lao
Yuan Zhao wore a well-fitting court dress today, although he had not yet grown up and looked a little thin, but after sitting down on the second seat of the court, no one cared about his age anymore.
On such a formal occasion, any subtle change in the court would be given a special meaning, let alone something as obvious. Can you sit casually in the position of the third prince? The answer is, no!
Sima Qian, who was in charge of the record, wrote carefully on the bamboo slips: "Autumn, September, the Great Dynasty Meeting." Abolish the post of Grand Lieutenant. The new Shangshu Order, participating in the administration of the dynasty, is hereby ....... ”
At this time, everyone remembered that when the emperor set up Shangshutai, he had issued an appointment: Changle Hou Yuanzhao was Shangshuling.
It turned out that in the minds of some people, Shang Shuling's position, which was just the emperor's "secretary general", had such a high status! This was a surprise to everyone.
Prime Minister Tian Jue's bitterness in his heart was even stronger, and he finally fully understood the emperor's intention of beating him two days ago. It seems that if you want to keep your wealth and wealth for a long time, you must unconditionally support the will of the Son of Heaven from today.
The white-bearded Imperial Doctor is ranked behind the boy, and the age difference between the two is a full forty years. Gongsun Hong was in a complicated mood, mixed with jealousy and resentment. He jumped into the imperial doctor with a cloth body, and the actual deputy prime minister was already regarded as a green cloud flying. But compared to Yuan Zhao, he felt a burst of heat on his face.
Although this little marquis has also made some achievements, but suddenly he has jumped to such a high position, and most of the courtiers are still unconvinced. Even the ministers who valued Yuan Zhao more, such as Ji Di, Zheng Shi, and Shi Kuan, were not happy in their hearts, but deeply worried about him.
The danger in the court is not something that ordinary people can imagine. The emperor didn't know what kind of psychology he had, he pushed him to the cusp, and there was an abyss under his feet, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed.
The only thing that was excited was probably the young servants of Shangshutai, who were among the rest of the courtiers. They exchanged glances with each other, full of infinite anticipation for the future.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. Liu Dingguo, the king of Qi, noticed him as soon as Yuan Zhao came in, and saw that he actually ran to the position of the third prince and sat down, and he looked at ease, and the anger in his heart was simply soaring.
He gasped and turned his head to whisper a few words to the King of Chu, the King of Hejian, the King of Yan and the others beside him. Those princes didn't know Yuan Zhao, and when they heard that this ordinary young man was, he remembered that his own sons had also told about this person's evil deeds, and suddenly felt the same hatred for the enemy, and secretly agreed that they would attack at the same time after a while.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, sat at the head of this area, he watched the small movements of the princes and kings with cold eyes, his face was expressionless, but his heart was very heavy.
Yuan Zhao, from the first time he saw this person from a distance, Liu An had a worry for no reason that this person would be his future rival. This kind of worry began in the snow field of Yuanzhao Yijian Town.
It's just that what King Huainan didn't expect was that he had expected that he might become a climate in ten years, and now it has only been three years since he reached this point, and he began to call for wind and rain, and the clouds and fog ......!
It has been a few days since the princes and kings came to Chang'an, and they have already seen the emperor separately, of course, this is the first time that such a public occasion has been held. Therefore, all kinds of etiquette greetings should be done as they should be, and the rules and regulations cannot be overcome.
After the emperor finished his salute, he began the court's agenda. In the recent major events, the ministers who are in charge of each other have come out to play, and the emperor has made simple oral answers one by one.
Then, Taizhong Doctor Zheng came out to report the water situation since the beginning of autumn. This matter is still quite serious, the emperor asked in detail, and after listening to it, he was also very worried. However, the weather is like this, and manpower is not conceivable for the time being, so the edict can only order the affected counties and counties to step up their precautions, especially several major rivers, and must organize manpower to patrol day and night to ensure the safety of the lives of the people.
Naturally, there will be a division to do these things. It is a matter of the common people's national fortunes, no one dares to neglect their duties in these matters, as for how far they can go, that is, they will do their best to obey the destiny of heaven. There is no other way due to the limitations of manpower.
Yuan Zhao sat quietly in his seat and listened. In fact, the emperor specially summoned him to the court today, and he knew clearly what the purpose was.
The princes and kings are too powerful, and they have formed a whole of interests. If the emperor wants to break the game, he must have a sharp knife, and what he chooses is himself.
Today's first contest, if the situation cannot be opened, it is bound to come to a stalemate, and if the sword is used again because of this, it will be bad. Because the current situation is very grim, the Han has completely turned against the Huns, and the veil of warmth and affection has long been gone. Both sides are fighting fiercely, and a big war may not be on the verge of breaking out on any day, so it is necessary to cut through the chaos quickly.
As for the rain disasters in various places, I have some ways to effectively reduce the follow-up disasters. Later, when you go to court, you can find an opportunity to communicate with Dr. Taizhong.
He was thinking about these things when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a major grievance!" Your Majesty, please make decisions for your ministers! ”
This shout, the voice was loud, and everyone heard it clearly. Following the prestige, it was Liu Dingguo, the king of Qi from the coast of the East China Sea.
The emperor frowned slightly, but he did not move, sat on the throne, bowed and listened. Many ministers had already heard about what had happened outside Chang'an City before, and when they saw King Qi coming out with anger on his face, they all watched the changes with different expressions.
The horizontal flesh on King Qi's fat face trembled, and he walked a few steps closer to the bottom of the white marble steps, first saluted the people on the throne, and then turned around, eyebrows crossed.
"Yuan Zhao! At a young age, how can he de? How dare you sit in this seat! The former relied on his own force and bullied Wu'er and many princes. He also attacked the prince's guards outside Chang'an City, killing and injuring many people. Such audacity is an unforgivable sin! Today, in this Hanyuan Palace, in front of the Son of Heaven, this king and you are incompatible. Your Majesty, I sincerely ask that his crimes be investigated and severely punished, so as to comfort the hearts of the royal kings and maintain the dignity of the descendants of Emperor Gaozu! ”
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen princes who were in unison on weekdays, such as the King of Chu, the King of Hejian, the King of Yan, and the King of Zhao, also followed closely and went out to support.
Such a formation is really intimidating, and many ministers are worried. Only at this time did one think about how powerful they really were.
In the face of the aggressive momentum, Yuan Zhao's face did not change and he still sat down. Now, it's not the time to go shirtless. Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the emperor spoke.
"Uncle Qi, I have heard what you said. However, it is very different from what you say, and what are the twists and turns...... Since so many princes and princes are concerned about this matter, let's argue it today. For the sake of fairness, I am impartial, and I am not impartial, and I will leave it to the judges to judge, how about it? ”
The Emperor's voice was very light and erratic, and there was no tendentious meaning in it. However, many shrewd courtiers have already heard a special meaning from it, and they can't help but feel a shock in their hearts.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, sighed silently. It seems that the news that the daughter found out in advance is not wrong, and the emperor's tone is very intriguing. Secretly think to yourself, don't talk lightly today, just watch it change.
Liu Dingguo couldn't hear anything else, but he had resentment in his heart. Scold! Since you have heard of it, why don't you hurry up and punish this kid surnamed Yuan severely! To be judged by a hundred judges? Well, let's see which of these officials dares to go against the princes of all families today!
"Your Majesty, what are the twists and turns? You must have listened to the words of the minister! It was this kid who connived at his villains, in Chang'an City, injured the guards in the palace, and wanted to hurt all the princes, it was my son Liu Xuan, who stood up for righteousness, but was unexpectedly injured by the plot and lost his right hand. Have pity on my Xuan'er...... Your Majesty! No matter how you say it, it's all the blood of Emperor Gaozu, if you don't avenge this revenge, how can you have the face to worship Gaomiao tomorrow! Your Majesty! Please make a decree and ask for sin. ”
Liu Dingguo saw that the emperor had an ambiguous attitude, and he was already very dissatisfied. Between the words, it is inevitable that there is a meaning, and some are unwelcome.
Emperor Liu Che was faintly annoyed, this imperial uncle is so old, his IQ is not good, and his ability to reverse black and white is not small, he is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open!
"Uncle Qi Wang, you are old, and you have a long way to go from Chang'an, so it is inevitable that your ears and eyes will be a little dull. The so-called kid in your mouth is the Shangshu Ling appointed by me personally! Well, ministers, some of you may not know the authority of Shang Shuling, right? In this case, I will make a clear announcement on this Hanyuan Hall today, so that all the princes and all the ministers can know what this new official position I have created is for! Han Yan, you can tell me. ”
Han Yan, the free rider standing on the side of the throne, bowed down to receive the order, came to stand in front of the jade steps, and looked at the ministers sitting in the Hanyuan Hall with an expressionless face, and his voice clearly conveyed the will of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Shangshutai, since today, has been separated from the Shaofu establishment and is an independent institution of the imperial court. With Shang Shuling as his commander, he was responsible for assisting the Son of Heaven in handling the county chapters of the world, sorting out various military documents, and conveying orders at home and abroad. His Majesty the Emperor has worshiped Changle Hou Yuanzhao as the first Shangshu Ling, and he hopes that all officials will know it. ”
After Han Yan finished speaking, she saluted and retreated, and there was silence in the hall, and no one spoke in half a voice.
Many people had huge waves in their hearts, and when they raised their eyes and quietly glanced at the front position, they saw Prime Minister Tian Jue closing his eyes and recuperating with a blank face. Imperial Doctor Gongsun Hong lowered his head, and he couldn't see any expression, only his gray beard was shaking slightly.
Chang'an does not see the moon, and the city is full of wind and rain. The great political changes in the DPRK start today!
