Chapter 3 After the Imperial Council
Seeing that with the help of Taishi and others, on the surface, everyone accepted their first order, and after thinking about it, there was nothing else, Zhou Bian announced the end of the court, but this time no one explicitly objected, and I think today is also to let everyone know himself again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, Zhou Bian beckoned to let the Taishi, the Young Master and Sima Tu stay, these three people have the most real power, and they are familiar with themselves, since they have all claimed to be the king, state affairs are the top priority, and this mess is officially on his shoulders. And at present, it seems that it is naturally the best choice to consult with the three of them first.
Of course, after the court meeting, when the doctors returned, they naturally wanted to discuss with each other and discuss their views on the new king, but most people were still optimistic, thinking that the new king would not treat everyone well. After all, the royal family has been defeated, and the king who just died just wanted to rectify when he first ascended the throne, but in the end it was still over, and in the end everyone still played their own games, but when the royal family sent money and food, they went to get it. Many people feel that since they are nobles, they should naturally be raised by the royal family, and they don't have to do anything as a matter of course. However, there are still a few people who have ideas, and after the meeting is over, they will gather at the young master's house, thinking that they want to discuss something deeper.
Of course, Zhou Bian didn't know about these, and the first thing he did when he returned to ** was to order him to hurry up and get some food, he had been hungry for a long time, and of course the Taishi and the other three were indispensable. During the meal, Zhou Bian asked how Fang Cai Chaohui behaved, the Taishi just said that he was impulsive, the young master nodded slightly, and said that the king only looked at the results, and Sima Tu was a big pat on the back, and praised Zhou Bian for his youth but bravery, and he could deter the ministers on the first day of his accession to the throne, and he had the wind of a virtuous lord, Zhou Bian had to laugh at it, but the Taishi reminded him to pay attention to the young master, although this person has no real power, he still has a certain prestige among the princes and grandsons, and Zhou Bian secretly remembered it.
In fact, Zhou Bian is most concerned about who he should use at this time, although the three Taishi are familiar and have certain abilities, they can't all be counted on. According to the plan that Zhou Bian had thought of a long time ago, it was to pull a group of his own people first, who were familiar with him, had the ability and could use them with confidence, so he should first consider the children of the nobles who lived here in Cheng Zhou.
After a few people hurriedly filled their stomachs, Zhou Bian bowed deeply to the three of them, "This king is still young, and the state affairs still need to worry about the three adults." "Zhou Bian still knows how to show favor and win people's hearts.
The three of them hurriedly bowed and said they didn't dare. Zhou Bian then said, "This king has first ascended to the great treasure, and even many people in my Zhou family can't recognize it, and I don't know who is virtuous and can take on the great responsibility, I hope the three adults will teach me." ”
The Taishi Ben said indiscriminately, "When the king first ascended the throne, he knew that he would rectify the government and know that he was virtuous, which was really the blessing of my Great Zhou, and the queen mother must be very happy when she knew it." Then the old man will come to the king one by one. I have a big Zhou official system, there are three princes and three young, and now the Taibao, Taifu and Shaobao positions are empty, only the old man, the young master and the young master remain. After saying that, he looked at the young master, and the latter smiled rarely, "Don't look at me, too much, I know enough, and I don't think about it." "In fact, the two of them have been friends for many years, so the Taishi came over with a look, just to want the young master to teach Zhou Bian swordsmanship, and put forward a request to further become the third prince for the reason of the teacher of the Son of Heaven, but the young master is very free and easy, obviously his ambition is not here, or he is not very willing to rise.
Zhou Bian took the opportunity to squint at Sima Tu, only to see that his eyes were eager, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to stop talking, so he knew what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything, but said, "The young master and Lord Sima Tu are loyal to the country, this king knows, but this king has just ascended the throne, and the foundation is unstable. Master, please continue. ”
"The king is wise. After the three princes and three young people, there are six ministers, and Lord Sima is one of them, in charge of the palace guards, and he is diligent in his work, and this king knows it. Speaking of this, Sima Tu smiled at Zhou Bian as if he was busy flattering, and the Taishi paused and continued, "Among the other six Shangqing, there are two kings who know each other, that is, the Gongzi Dynasty and the Gongzi Class, that is, the self-proclaimed Eastern Zhou Duke and the Western Zhou Duke, so I won't say much about their old husband." The head of the six kings is Tsukasa Zai, Tsukasa Zai is the official name, the current Tsukasa Zai is Lord Cai Zhongzi, Cai Liu Shen Zheng is my Cheng Zhou's four surnames in addition to the surname Ji, and most of the noble children come from these four surnames. Cai Zhongzi is in the prime of life, the president of the astronomical calendar, today with the king to worship the ancestral temple is him, pedantic, only like to study the astronomical calendar, think that he can see through the way of heaven, and has been looking forward to finding signs of the revival of my royal family. Master Si Kou is the Liu family, who is in charge of punishment, is a strict person, and has a strong temperament, which is suitable for this matter. Sikong is Shen, who is in charge of housing construction and plumbing, but my Zhou room has been idle for many years without civil engineering changes. These two adults arrived at the morning court on time today. ”
Zhou Bian understood as soon as he heard it, isn't this what later generations called the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, plus Sima is the Ministry of War, it seems that China has determined this set of political systems very early, only the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households have not been separately proposed at this time, only because they are all family-style official systems at this time, so they do not want the Ministry of Personnel, and because it is a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, the concept of peasant households has not yet been formed, and the subordinates are basically slaves of the royal family or nobles, so there is no need for the Ministry of Households.
Taishi continued, "Among the other doctors, the lower doctor Wang Sun Man is young and intelligent, and he is very articulate, which can be of great use. Liu Zixi, a doctor in the middle, is quite witty, has traveled around the world, it is said that after completing his studies, he was summoned by the first king, and when he wanted to use it, he was strongly opposed by the first Tai Bao clan, so he is still indignant, and the king can also recruit him. Neither of them was arrogant, and today they are among the king's bounty of flesh. Zhou Bian nodded secretly when he heard this, those who go to work on time are always good employees.
"The king, there is another person, who is the Shangdai Doctor Shan Wen, and the Xiantaibao clan is a clan brother, but he has never been compatible, and he has even repeatedly criticized the Xiantaibao, so he is still in the position of the Shangdaibao at this time. This person worships General Wu Qi, often on his lips, because he is often suppressed by the Shan family, so he has a loose temperament, and is suspected of being cynical. However, the old man is familiar with him, and he knows that this person still has something to use, so he hopes that the king will summon him. ”
Zhou Bian nodded, in fact, he didn't really care if he was late or not, what he wanted was loyalty but talent, and the subsections didn't matter. Hearing this Zhou Bian is also very satisfied, although the Zhou family is declining, but there should still be talents available, it must be known that later generations Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in Huaixi, the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty accounted for the vast majority of Huaixi people, is it that Huaixi will produce talents, and the rest of the places are not, of course not, but Zhu Yuanzhang gave Huaixi people a platform. The same should be true of the Chengzhou region today.
"My lord, that's all the old man knows. Let's see if the young master and Master Sima have anything to add? ”
The young master continued, "What the Taishi said is exactly what he wants to say, but the Taishi has lost one person, although the prison is a temple person, but he has won the trust of the first king and the queen mother, and now he is responsible for the harvest of the royal family." The king of Jian Jia is familiar with it, so I don't need to say more. "In fact, during the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the status of the temple people was not low, many princes also appointed the temple as a general when they were fighting, and even a monarch of the Qi State rebelled against his relatives and left, or a temple man led the army to save him, and the status of the eunuchs should be reduced from the two Han Dynasty.
After the young master finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Sima Tu, only to see Sima Tu ponder for a moment and then smiled and said, "The two adults of the Taishi and the Young Master have finished speaking, I didn't add anything." ”
Zhou Bian patted his thigh, "That's it, that's it." In the afternoon, the three ministers, the three doctors and the supervisor were summoned, and we gathered together to discuss the important affairs of our Zhou room. 10,000 years is too long, seize the day, and now the great powers are constantly fighting, and if I want to revitalize my Zhou room, I must not slack off at all, and I will be of the same heart with you and this king! Accidentally brought out all the words of the great man, Zhou Bian only felt that time was pressing, and the word "seizing the day" was the most suitable here.
Sure enough, the Taishi and the other three were busy claiming that it was. After a pause, Zhou Bian said again, "I have a question, Master Fang Cai said that Zhou has four surnames besides Ji, Cai Liu Shen Zheng, why don't you see anyone in the Zheng family as a high-ranking official?" ”
The Taishi smiled but didn't answer, but the young master said beside him, "The Taishi is the current patriarch of the Zheng family, and the Queen Mother is the daughter of the Zheng clan, doesn't the king remember?" Zhou Bian couldn't help but be embarrassed, he had always been in the position of only calling the Taishi, but he had never asked, and others thought that he knew, it was really a joke. Zhou Bian hurriedly touched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "I have forgotten a lot of things since that day, don't blame the master, and please don't let the queen mother know." Taishi smiled, "It's okay." ”
At the same time, there was an angry scolding in the young master's house, but the source of the scolding was a few sons, the son of the young master, Jizi, accompanied the talk, and those sons were late for the morning court, because they were not late at this time and happily went home to eat meat, the Zhou family was poor, although it was a nobleman, there was very little meat to eat. And these sons were naturally not angry, and when they remembered that the young master was humiliated today, they complained to the young master. The young master did not speak, and suddenly a family member carefully walked into the hall and whispered to the young master, and the young master nodded and fell into thought, and only raised his head for a long time, and waved his hand impatiently downward.
After lunch, not much meeting, Zhou Bian convened the people came one after another, Zhou Bian saw the salute one by one, looked very respectful, and immediately won a lot of goodwill, even the single article was moved, only felt that this king was different, and what he had learned in his life must be able to play a role, so he started a draft in his abdomen, wanting to show off one or two.
Everyone sat down according to their status, naturally the Taishi was in the lead, but the supervisor Jia sat at the end. Just about to speak, but only to hear footsteps outside the house, everyone looked, but the young master came uninvited. The young master didn't have anything abnormal, and when he entered the house, he said, "The king convenes the ministers to discuss state affairs, and naturally the old man is indispensable, and the old man is ranked as the third youngest, how dare he not serve the king." He didn't give in, and sat down directly next to the young master, the master naturally frowned, and the rest of the people didn't know that the young master was uninvited, and they didn't care. But Zhou Bian was puzzled in his heart, could it be that this young master had changed his temperament, or he had misjudged him?
