There is no shortage of officials, there are also office locations, the Regent Mansion was established within a few days, Zhao Ziliang quickly appointed the officials and civil servants of the various offices in the Regent Palace, all of which were the Western Qin officials he brought this time, belonging to the original team, and only Li Mi joined in for the time being.

After the establishment of the Regent Palace, it began to operate immediately, and the important chapters and official documents of the various official offices of the imperial court were sent here, and the ministers had something to run here, which was equivalent to another Zichen Palace, and the official documents sent to the Zichen Palace to the emperor's imperial review in the past were all sent to the Regent's Palace, and the ministers had important military and political affairs to report to the emperor in the past, and now they all went to the Regent Palace, and now they all went to the Regent Palace to report to Zhao Ziliang.

On the first day of October, the court meeting.

The eunuchs placed another wide seat under His Majesty Dan, where the emperor's throne was located, this was the regent's throne, and according to Zhao Ziliang's regulations, the courtiers did not have to kneel and bow when they saw him, so when Zhao Ziliang came out from behind the screen, the Chinese military ministers hugged their fists and bowed down: "Meet the regent, Chitose, Chitose!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and raised his hand: "Everyone, please be exempt!" ”

"King Xie!" After the ministers finished saluting, the civil and military were separated and stood on both sides.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king is entrusted by His Majesty to take full charge of military affairs, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest. A few days ago, the regent palace has been established and began to exercise its functions, some of the chief officials of the imperial court office have gone to the palace to report to the king about the official affairs of the office, and there are some officials of the yamen who have not yet been there, the king hopes that these people will go over to report as soon as possible, if you don't report to the king, it means that you do not approve of the appointment of His Majesty the emperor to this king, and everyone who understands knows what it means! So don't let this king name one by one, if you don't want to do it, then write to this king to ask for your resignation and then go home to stay, there are people in this official position who want to sit on it, and the court will not lack you! ”

Zhao Ziliang burned out at the beginning, and several officials who had not yet reported to the regent palace under the instructions of Yuan Zai and the crown prince Li Shi could not be calm, and their foreheads and vests began to sweat, and their hearts trembled. The civil and military officials all muttered in their hearts, this surnamed Zhao is really not good.

Zhao Ziliang didn't say much about this matter, and then said something else: "From now on, the first and fifteenth court meetings of the new year are still held in the Xuanzheng Hall and the Zichen Palace, and after each court meeting, the king will report to His Majesty the Emperor about the relevant content and decisions of the court meeting. Do you have any objections to the fact that you have to go to the Regent's palace to report or consult with the king on weekdays? ”

When the ministers heard this, they all whispered, but no one stood up to express their opposition or other different opinions, Zhao Ziliang saw this and said: "This king hereby solemnly mentions, if you have any opinions on any issue can be put forward at the court meeting, or have different opinions on the views put forward by this king and other ministers, you can put it forward in person, once a certain government and military affairs form a resolution, it must not be changed, and the relevant officials must seriously implement it after the dispersal of the dynasty, if you are not satisfied or feel inappropriate after the dispersal of the court, If you don't follow the king's resolution, you will disobey the order, and don't blame the king for taking you to the knife when the time comes! Does anyone object to what this king said just now? Well, since there is no objection, then it will be carried out accordingly, and the ministers and generals who are qualified to go to the court on the day of the court must go to the court on time, unless there is an elderly person in the family who dies or is too sick to get out of bed and must ask for leave in advance, no leave is allowed for anything else, nor can they be late or leave early! ”

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he asked, "Next, do you have something to play?" ”

Li Kui, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites in his fifties, stood up and said: "Regent, the old minister Li Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a performance!" This year was the year of the opening of the department, but because there was a rebellion of the barbarian army and the rebellion of the sergeants under the command of Yao Zhitong, which endangered Chang'an, so the autumn of the opening of the branch was delayed, but the students from all over the country had already rushed to Chang'an and the vicinity of Chang'an to prepare for the exam, and now most of these students are still stranded in Chang'an and the surrounding areas, and some of the students' entanglement has long been exhausted, and some students have returned to their hometowns and left. Previously, the old minister had already reported this matter to His Majesty, but because the various ministries of the imperial court had only moved back from Mukden, there were many things, and His Majesty had not replied to this matter. Now that the king is in charge, the old minister will ask the king to indicate whether the examination will be held this year, if the examination is not opened, the Ministry of Rites will issue a notice to announce it, so that students from all over the country can return to their hometowns as soon as possible, do not continue to stay in Chang'an, if the examination is still open, please ask the regent to issue a decree, and the Ministry of Rites will also follow the implementation and arrange for relevant officials to prepare! ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't say anything, looked at the ministers and asked, "Do you think this matter can still be carried out?" ”

Pei Zunqing, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and arched his hand: "Regent, the imperial court is now an eventful season, and not long after the imperial driver has just returned to Chang'an, Li Zhongchen's rebellion is still continuing, and Ge Shuyao's army is still surrounded in Xiangyang, and it is in urgent need of rescue, and it is already October, and it has already passed the autumn season, so it is better to postpone the examination period to next year!" ”

"Push it back until next year?" A sneer came out of the ministers, and Zhao Ziliang saw Lu Sigong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, standing up, Lu Sigong first saluted Zhao Ziliang, and then said to Pei Zunqing: "Master Pei said lightly, most of the students who came to Beijing to take the exam came to Beijing from other places to come to the capital, most of them have been in Chang'an for more than half a year, you push the start of the exam to next year, they will either wait here for another year, or return to their hometowns and come back next year, whether they continue to stay here, or come back next year after returning cash, the cost is huge!" You, Master Pei, have a lot of money and eat and drink every day, but what about those students? Most of them are poor families, how can they afford such a huge expense? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Sigong saluted Zhao Ziliang again and said: "King, the minister thinks that the opening examination should be held as soon as possible, and after the examination is released, the students can not only go home, but also the court can attract talents for the country!" ”

Liu Yan, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Although Lord Lu is reasonable, this is not in line with the rules, the autumn has passed, it is already October, and the imperial treasury has no money, where can I get the funds to prepare for the opening of the examination?" I don't have any money, don't count on me."

At first, Zhao Ziliang was still very puzzled, Lu Sigong was the secretary of the criminal department, and the criminal department was the sphere of influence of the prime minister's faction, how did Lu Sigong get up with Pei Zunqing, who was also the prime minister's faction, but Zhao Ziliang remembered that Lu Sigong had been Guo Ziyi's deputy before, quite talented, and had been personally rewarded by Emperor Xuanzong, and he remembered that Lu Sigong had not been the secretary of the criminal department for a long time, and now he understood that Lu Sigong should be a member of the prince's family, but Lu Sigong had been the secretary of the criminal department for too short a time, and he could not control the right to speak in the criminal department.

Yan Zhenqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and arched his hand: "King, how much can it cost to open a branch to get a scholar?" Don't I even have the money to open a bachelor's degree once? ”

Just for the sake of a matter of opening a department to win scholars, the prime minister's faction and the princelings could not give up their prejudices in front of Zhao Ziliang, a newcomer, and they were all fighting with the outside world, which shows how serious the factional struggle in the DPRK and China is, no wonder Li Yu wants to pick and choose not to do it, and hide in the inner courtyard of the deep palace.

Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation, if the three factions of the DPRK and China united to resist his ideas and decisions, he would really not be able to be the regent.

Ju Wenzhen's people haven't moved yet, maybe the eunuch party doesn't want to interfere in this kind of thing, only Hongluqing Lu Qi stood up and said a few words that didn't hurt, showing the existence of the eunuch party to the ministers. Lu Qi was previously stationed in Xinjing as Honglu Shaoqing, and he was transferred back in the first half of this year, and he still took the path of Ju Wenzhen, so Lu Qi officially took refuge in the eunuch party.

The three forces are all fighting below, the three main characters have not yet appeared, Ju Wenzhen does not hold a position in the court, he is the chief supervisor of the Inner Servant Province, and the object he is responsible for serving is the emperor, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to attend this court meeting, he should stay by the emperor's side, but he holds the position of the Shence military envoy, the Shence army is a forbidden army, and the rank of the military envoy is equivalent to that of the general of the Shenwu army, so he is qualified and must attend the court meeting.

Since the main figures of the three parties have not yet appeared, Zhao Ziliang has to be named, he looked at the crown prince Li Shi, Ju Wenzhen and Prime Minister Yuan Zai and asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Gong Gong, Lord Yuan, what do you three think this matter should be handled?" Will it be postponed until next year, or will it be immediately prepared and the examination will be held as soon as possible? ”

Ju Wenzhen saw that the officials of the princeling party and the prime minister's faction were fighting each other, and she was also happy to see it. His power in the court is much weaker than these two factions, the reason why he used to be in power is because he served by the emperor's side, he can see the emperor every day, and he can talk to the emperor, but the emperor doesn't care about things now, his influence on the courtiers has dropped a lot, he knows that now is not the time to fight, so he stood up with a smile and said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, our family has no position in the court, although he holds the position of the military envoy of Shence, but after all, it is a military position, for this kind of civil affairs, Miscellaneous people still don't express their opinions, right? ”

Since Ju Wenzhen has shrunk, Zhao Ziliang is not reluctant, and asked Li Shi and Yuan Zai: "Prince and Lord Yuan, what are your two opinions?" ”

Whether the imperial examination can be opened or not is just a trivial matter, Li Kuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, brought it up here just to throw out the matter in his hand, so as not to blame him for the crime after Zhao Ziliang asks in the future, it doesn't matter if he can't open it this time, Yuan Zai and Li Shi didn't expect that the horses under both sides would be so hostile, just because of this trivial matter.

Li Shi stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Regent, this palace thinks that the delayed Qiu Yu should be made up!" No matter how the situation in the imperial court changes, the imperial court needs talented people to add it."

Zhao Ziliang said: "But just now Liu Yan said that the preparation for the imperial examination needs funds, and his household department has no money!" ”

"Oh? Out of money? Since there is no money, then there will be no scientific examination, and it will be the same if you wait until next year! Li Shi said.

Zhao Ziliang said again: "But the prince just said that no matter how the situation in the court changes, the court needs to supplement talented people as officials!" Lord Yan also said that it doesn't cost much to hold a meeting, right? Can't the treasury even come up with this money? Lord Liu Yan, is the treasury really empty? Really can't even get the money to open the scientific examination? Do you want the king to send someone to check the accounts? ”
