At this time, Huang An took out another holy decree and said loudly: "Everyone kneel and listen. ”

"The emperor's edict said: I can ascend to the throne as nine sons, all the brothers let each other, now the special emperor brother Zhuang is the king of Yan, the second emperor brother Tong is the king of Zhou, and the seventh emperor brother is the king of Tang, and the prime minister, the clan, and the Ministry of Rites cooperate with each other, select the day to screen the fiefdom, hold the ceremony of the king, and the rest of the vassal kings will each increase the food Lu 10,000 stones, Qin this!"

The crowd shouted again: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

This holy decree, on the surface, is an ordinary edict of the king, and it is the holy decree of the kings of grace after the new emperor ascends the throne, but in fact, it tells the ministers of civil and military affairs that the throne is a foregone conclusion, and everyone should settle down, deal with the government affairs, and stop doing those things without a king and a father.

As for whether they can understand or not, most of the people present are political elites, and those who don't understand are pretending not to understand.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Zheng Zhuang, Zheng Tong, and Zheng Jiao, who had just been named the princes, looked unhappy, or gritted their teeth, or turned pale, or unwilling, and the rest of the kings also had different complexions, or gloomy, or happy, or silent.

And the rest of the ministers.

Liu Jian's face was calm and drowsy, but Zheng Wen couldn't see through him and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Fei, on the other hand, looked thoughtful, but he didn't know his psychological thoughts.

And the rest of the ministers, some are happy, some are disappointed, and some are calm.

But he didn't say a word.

At this time, Zheng Wen suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Record the edict: I inherited the great treasure of the first emperor, won the Baozong Temple, and entrusted it to the Zhaoming monarch with a small body, only trembling, walking on thin ice, I am afraid that I will not be virtuous, and I will lose the virtue of the ancestors and emperors of the past dynasties." ”

As soon as the ministers saw this frame, this was the new monarch who wanted to issue an edict in person, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground.

"I am young and virtuous, and I don't know the magic of the ancient sage kings ruling the world, but I have heard that there are holy kings in ancient times, and the people are not endowed, and the sea is rich enough, although I am not sensitive, but my heart yearns for it. I have a foot disease, the body is disabled and the virtue is thin, today, it makes the county of the world have a division of the yamen, from now on, the county of the world Li Shu, never give! ”

Zheng Wen's bombshell was thrown out.

The ministers, princes, and clans present were in a blur.

This is what Zheng Wenxiang did when the protagonist Liu Degang ascended the throne in an online book that he had read, and as soon as it was promulgated, his status was stable, and he immediately gained a group of diehards.

Although Zheng Wen was not very clear about the situation of Daqian at this time, he could at least let him gain a benevolent and righteous voice among the people, harvest the hearts of some scholars, and at least reduce the pressure on some small landlords and yeoman farmers.

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Wen's words fell, someone came out and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent and righteous king, and you will benefit the world more, and Ze will be born by the common people, please send an edict to the world, so that the world will know Your Majesty's benevolence and benevolence!" ”

"Yes," Zheng Wen replied.

In China, taxes and taxes are separated, and the same is true for the Great Cadres, who are state expenditures and are royal expenditures.

Zheng Wen's edict of "never increasing taxes" only affected the expenditure of the imperial family, but did not affect the state tax collection situation, and the peasants of the great cadres still had to pay heavy taxes, but this move was undoubtedly a good governance.

Many ministers present also knew that the emperor was gracious to the world on the surface, but in fact he was winning the hearts of the people, but he could not stop it, but he wanted to praise it.

Emperors need fame, don't they need fame? They also need it, if anyone stops it, not only will they be abused by the world's scholars and have a bad reputation, but the implementation of this policy will not harm their interests, at most it will only affect the enthusiasm of the officials to collect taxes!

Zheng Wen stood for a while, the lame person was tired quickly, and Zheng Wen sat still.

He also opened his mouth and said: "I am young and virtuous, I have read little books since I was young, and I have just ascended the throne, I have no knowledge, and I have no experience in governing the country, so I dare not govern the country indiscriminately, so I decided to set up a cabinet to assist me in governing the country, and then ordered the prime minister Liu Jian, the envoy of the Jingying Festival to Qin Fei, the six Shangshu, and the privy councillor nine people into the cabinet as cabinet scholars to assist me in governing the country, and nine people are still in their original positions, what do you think of the ministers?" ”

Prime Minister Liu Jian came out and said: "Your Majesty, is this cabinet a rule? Liu Jian felt that this cabinet was not simple, but he faintly felt that he was a little bad for himself, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to ask.

Zheng Wen listened, and it seemed that no one had noticed the role of the cabinet, so he said: "It's not that I'm going to fall, it's just that I'm young after all, and I have no experience in governing government, these nine people are all important ministers of the court, and they are pillars, let these nine people enter the cabinet to teach me to handle government affairs, and then dissolve when I am familiar with government affairs and handle government affairs independently, what does the prime minister think?" ”

Liu Jian listened to it and felt that it was okay, after all, the new emperor suddenly became the emperor from a prince to be seen, and if he wanted to handle government affairs independently, Liu Jian also felt that it was impossible, and there must be a stage of adaptation!

Then he said, "Your Majesty, I am determined to do it." "After that, he was in the ranks.

Zheng Wen smiled in his heart, he was still afraid that Liu Jian would object!

Zheng Wen set up the cabinet, on the one hand, it is to divide the power of the prime minister, as soon as so many people enter the cabinet to help him deal with government affairs, the governance of the great cadres has changed from the previous emperor and the prime minister to the emperor and nine people to govern together, although the early stage may not be obvious, but slowly it will be found that the power of the prime minister has been substantially dispersed, and it is more convenient for the imperial power to be alone, which is the struggle between the monarch's power and the prime minister's power throughout thousands of years.

Zheng Wen's father didn't like the court very much, and handed over almost all the governing power to Liu Jian, and only firmly held the personnel appointment power and military power in his hands, which also led to too much power, and almost controlled the change of the throne, which Zheng Wen would never allow, which led to Zheng Wen saying the cabinet, and Liu Jian didn't realize Zheng Wen's purpose at all.

On the other hand, Zheng Wen wants to push Qin Fei to govern the government, and the military power of the Beijing camp is in his hands, Zheng Wen is not at ease, he prefers to be absolutely his own people or even himself to control it, he can rest assured, he hopes that Qin Fei can focus on governing the government, so that he can grasp the military power and be safer, after all, the pen is usually not able to do the gun.

The ministers listened, and saw that the prime minister had no opinion, and he had no opinion, Zheng Wen saw it, Liu Jian, who had been the prime minister for thirteen years, still had a high prestige in the hearts of the ministers, and secretly slandered himself, but he secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

Zheng Wen looked at all this, and said again: "I will not go to the court in the next month, I will mourn the emperor, and it will be handed over to the prime minister and the cabinet if it is not about the funeral." By the way, the cabinet is located in the Wude Hall. ”

"Also, is there anything else going on? If not, retreat! ”

The voice fell for a while, and seeing that no one spoke again, Huang An shouted "retreat".

Zheng Wen then got up, limped, walked down the imperial steps step by step, and left the main hall surrounded by warriors and eunuchs.

The ministers looked at the direction in which Zheng Wen disappeared, some were happy, some were disappointed, and some were expressionless and gradually dispersed.
