Han Ruzi stood in front of the steps and faced the ministers, his body had not fully recovered, he was shaking slightly, he had to breathe hard, and his mind was dizzy for a while, but he still insisted on standing, and his thinking was not chaotic at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The ministers got up one after another, they were too surprised by the arrival of the emperor, and they didn't know how to react, Shen Mingzhi suddenly remembered that he was the prime minister, and he could stay out of the matter at other times, but now in this situation, he must stand up and not be left behind, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's recovery, it is really a great joy, the ministers congratulate Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

The ministers finally reacted, shouted long live together, and knelt down again, as for Han Chou, he lay on the ground and didn't stand up.

This time, it was Zhang Youcai who opened his mouth and asked the ministers to get up.

Han Chou still couldn't stand up, he wanted to behave like everyone else, but he was really powerless.

Zhang Youcai said: "Han Zongzheng, Your Majesty gives you a flat body." ”

"Seeing that His Majesty is well-being, the ministers and ministers are so excited that they can't stand up."

After waiting for a while, someone helped Lord Zong Zhengqing up from left to right, Han Chou glanced at it, his body collapsed into a pile of mud, and the people who helped him were clearly two soldiers of the Northern Army, although they did not carry weapons, but their expressions were serious, and the iron armor was hard, sandwiching him in the middle like a torture instrument.

The other ministers were also worried, and the appearance of ordinary soldiers in the Xuan Hall was not ordinary at all.

Han Ruzi didn't have the strength to be angry, and he didn't want to be angry, so he said: "I summoned Zhuqing to come, first, to announce that I have recovered and will be in power from today onwards, and second, there are a lot of affairs accumulated these days, which cannot be delayed, and must be resolved today." ”

"The first thing is that Yun Mengze suppresses the bandits, and can no longer let the bandits struggle, fight back and bite people, and specially appoint Huang Pugong of the East China Sea Kingdom as the general on the left and Shao Kejian as the general on the right, and jointly suppress the bandits and the people."

Jiang Juying, the secretary of the military department, immediately responded to the order, but he was at a loss in his heart, Shao Kejian was a bandit general officially appointed by the imperial court, and he had been going to Yunmengze for a while, but he didn't know which army "Huang Pugong" was the general, but fortunately, there was the word "Donghai Kingdom", and he could inquire afterwards, and there was no need to ask the emperor.

"The second thing, the assassination has nothing to do with others, the siege of the General's Mansion and the Tired Marquis Mansion was immediately lifted, and the Empress was welcomed back to the official, and the Xuanyi Envoy Jin Chunzhong and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and the Criminal Department tried the assassins together."

This matter involved the Criminal Department, the Imperial Palace, and a number of yamen in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and the relevant ministers and eunuchs received orders one by one.

"The third thing, I didn't read much when I was young, and I often regret it, and I hope to make up for it as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites received orders.

"The fourth thing, governing the world first governs the officials, the officials are not smooth, the world is not right, the official who has lost the palm seal of the imperial history for a long time, appoints the official of the Ministry of Officials Feng Ju as the left inspection of the imperial history, supervises the Beijing officials, and leads the Ministry of Officials, and then discusses it after there is a suitable candidate."

Feng Ju immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, this was a key transfer for him, although his rank was not promoted, his status was higher and his future was brighter.

The prime minister affirmed that he was silent, his expression was stiff, and it was okay to appoint a general, and it was always the prime minister who made a suggestion to promote and demote a high-ranking official above the third grade, and the emperor made a decision based on this, but he had not yet handed in the chapter, and the emperor directly appointed the imperial teacher and the imperial history of Zuocha, which was clearly the prime minister in the air.

But he couldn't figure out the details of the emperor, and Han Chou, who was supported by the soldiers of the Northern Army, made him even more uneasy, and he didn't dare to defend his power in public.

The officials appointed by Han Ruzi are not these, one by one, from the capital to the county guards and ministers of state, as many as fifteen people, Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, has just been appointed as the imperial history of the Zuocha, and his goal has been achieved, and he has no objection to other appointments, and even called "obeying the order", but he is afraid that he will not be enthusiastic enough.

Then there is the reduction of taxes and taxes, the suspension of civil construction, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for this, as well as the review of the unjust prison, the great sacrifice of Ming Chun, the river dredging, the planning of the post station and many other matters, almost all the ministers in the Xuan Palace have tasks, even Zong Zhengqing Han Chou is no exception, he has to step up the preparation of the big sacrifice, and arrange the children of the clans from all over the country who have entered the Beijing Dynasty one after another.

Han Chou led the order with a crying voice, and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but he was firmly held by two soldiers and couldn't move.

The emperor, who had just recovered, had at once settled a matter that would have taken three to five months to complete according to normal procedures, and if in normal times, there would always be ministers who stood up and declared that the affairs of the court should not be impatient and that they should be safe, but today they only heard the voice of "obeying the order", and did not object to it.

In the imperial court, the emperor is one party, the minister is the other party, no matter what the personal relationship is, when facing the emperor, the ministers regard the prime minister as the leader, and the prime minister's look and a hint will immediately get the cooperation of the corresponding ministers, but today it is the prime minister who is silent first, and the other ministers certainly do not make a bird.

In fact, in the Tongxuan Palace, the prime minister was the only minister who did not receive a specific will.

The emperor arranged for half an hour, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he was obviously physically exhausted, so he announced the dissolution of the dynasty, leaving only the prime minister.

The ministers rushed out, all looking for an opportunity to glance at Shen Mingzhi, thinking that he would be a short-lived prime minister.

Shen Mingzhi had not yet admitted defeat, which meant that when only he and the emperor were left in the Xuandian, and there were still a few eunuchs, he was about to kneel sideways, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Shen Xiang has been silent, is there any objection to my arrangement?"

"The minister didn't dare, the minister was just slightly puzzled."

"Please."

Zhang Youcai stepped forward and gently supported the emperor.

"All the things that Your Majesty has laid down have been carefully considered, and the ministers have no objections, but some of them, most of them should be said, seem to be conveyed by the Prime Minister's Office. His Majesty personally issued the decree, of course, there is no problem, the minister is just puzzled, I don't know what the Prime Minister's Office should do in the future. ”

Han Ruzi walked slowly in front of the prime minister, his steps were so light as if he was floating, "How does Lord Shen think that this prime minister is quite good?" ”

Shen Mingzhi took a step back, bowed down and said: "The ministers ask themselves, the officials and the people are not as good as the sages of the previous generation, only the holy will of the upper and the lower sages are appeased, trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice, in terms of diligence and prudence or can be blamed, can be compared with the previous sages." ”

"Well, Shen Xiang is indeed cautious enough." Han Ruzi nodded and gestured to Zhang Youcai.

Zhang Youcai took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Mingzhi.

Shen Mingzhi didn't answer, and asked in surprise: "Is this ......?"

Zhang Youcai said: "This is the confession of Rong Huamin, the commander of the Imperial Horse Prison, who said a lot of good things about the Prime Minister, especially how cautious the Lord is. ”

Shen Mingzhi's face changed suddenly, but he still didn't take the scroll of paper, and bowed to the emperor and said, "Please Your Majesty stop listening to slander, and Rong Chen will explain......"

"I understand, you are the prime minister, of course you have to care about my condition, I have been in a coma these days, the queen mother is unwilling to disclose the news to the outside world out of the love of mother and son, and Prime Minister Shen is anxious to stabilize the court, so he has no choice but to ask the ministers for news, isn't that so?"

If you let Shen Mingzhi say it, it is naturally another set of words, but the meaning is similar to this, he opened his mouth and was stunned for a while, "Your Majesty is clear, the ministers are loyal to the monarch and serve the country wholeheartedly, although Admiral Rong broke the rules, but it was also out of kindness, and there was no bad intention." ”

Zhang Youcai said with a smile: "Although I don't know much about writing, I can also understand the general situation, Admiral Rong's statement is not the same as the prime minister, he said that he was instructed by a certain minister to deliberately approach the prime minister and curry favor with the prime minister, ostensibly passing on the news in the palace, but in fact it is to figure out the prime minister's mind and inquire about the prime minister's news." ”

Shen Mingzhi's face changed suddenly, this time it was embarrassment and anger, he stretched out his hand to receive the confession, his fingers just touched the paper and retracted back, he must not let himself fall into a dispute over specific matters, his opponent is not Rong Huamin, but the emperor, once there is a dispute, he will undoubtedly lose, countless ministers have left a lesson, at this time can only retreat as advance.

"The ministers are unstoppable, they are ashamed of the emperor's grace, and they are willing to confess their sins and surrender to the law, and let His Majesty dispose of them." Having said that, Shen Mingzhi did not kneel, maintaining the last bit of dignity and the possibility of reversal.

Han Ruzi said slowly: "I don't blame the prime minister. Rong Huamin, as a minister, betrayed the secrets of the palace to befriend the minister, which is an unforgivable crime. His confession implicated some ministers, and it is difficult to confirm whether it is true or false, so is Shen Xiang willing to find out the truth for me? ”

Shen Mingzhi was stunned again, and he didn't understand the emperor's intentions, "Your Majesty ......"

"There are many events in the world, the court is tired, I don't want to cause trouble again, this case can be small or small, and it is enough to severely punish the first evil, and there is no need to be involved."

Shen Mingzhi's face was pale, and the old minister, who was dozens of years old, stood in front of the young emperor, but he felt like a casual child.

The emperor stretched out his hand and put it on the prime minister's shoulder, this hand was weak and weak, as light as a feather, but Shen Mingzhi felt that there was a thousand catties pressing on his body, and he involuntarily knelt down slowly, "Your Majesty pities the old minister, but the minister is ashamed of ......his heart."

Han Ruzi withdrew his palm, "Enforce the law impartially, impartially, and apply for the prime minister or leave the history of this case." ”

Shen Mingzhi looked up at the emperor, suddenly understood everything, and kowtowed: "The minister is old, Chen is riddled with illness, and it has long been difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, now that His Majesty has recovered, please hand over the seal and beg to return to his hometown." ”

"We have to get to the bottom of the case first." Han Ruzi sighed softly, turned around and walked out, Zhang Youcai and the others followed closely behind.

Shen Mingzhi knelt alone in the main hall, knowing very well in his heart that his slaughter was over, and this was not enough, if he wanted to get out of the way, he had to do the emperor a favor and take down Han Chou without flaws.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Shen Mingzhi shouted loudly at the emperor's back, and the voice echoed back and forth in the empty hall.

Although it was cold outside the hall, it was sunny, and Han Ruzi took a deep breath and felt inspired.

Zhang Youcai was not very satisfied, and whispered: "It's a cheap prime minister." ”

"The emperor does not take revenge." Han Ruzi looked into the distance, "Because the emperor has no personal enmity." ”

Zhang Youcai didn't understand, and he didn't ask, the emperor could say such a thing, indicating that he was really healed.

Half an hour later, Empress Cui Xiaojun was welcomed back to the palace, and the first thing Han Ruzi said to her was: "I'm sorry, I've made the queen suffer these days." ”

At the same time, Han Chou returned to Zongzheng Mansion and made some daily arrangements to his subordinates uneasily, and a team of messengers entered uninvited, pushed the big and small officials away, and went straight to Lord Zong Zhengqing.

The leader of the team was Jing Yao, no coincidence or coincident, and he also said: "I'm sorry, I'm going to make Lord Zong Zhengqing suffer." (To be continued.) )
