Chapter 480: Monopoly of power
Xie Daoqing closed his eyes, shook his body, and said, "It's a little bit, I don't know what's going on, and I suddenly dizzy." ”
Cheng Yue said softly: "Queen Mother, don't go back to the villa today, and rest in the palace for one night, and let the sons show the queen mother." ”
Xie Daoqing nodded slightly, Cheng Yue bent down and carefully picked up Xie Daoqing. Chen Bao ran back to Cining Palace to set it up, while Quan Jiu was beside him with an anxious face.
Cheng Yue said to Quan Jiu: "Don't worry, the queen mother is fine, it's just for a while." ”
Quan Jiu nodded eagerly, his eyes full of tears.
Cheng Yue hugged Xie Daoqing and walked towards the harem, and along the way, the palace maids shuttled back and forth, and the four ladies and concubines such as the four ladies in spring, summer, autumn and winter also came to visit in a hurry.
Cheng Yue commanded Ruoding, and when he walked into Xie Daoqing's dormitory, everything was ready.
Cheng Yue and Quan Jiu slowly put Xie Daoqing on the couch and covered the quilt, Cheng Yue's fingers had already caught Xie Daoqing's wrist.
At this time, a large number of concubines stopped their work and arrived one after another, and some people even cried. However, seeing Cheng Yue beside Xie Daoqing, all the concubines were greatly relieved.
Cheng Yue is the best doctor in the world today, and he is also the most powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty, with him, not only does the saint's life not have to worry, but there is absolutely no chaos inside and outside.
Cheng Yue knew in his heart that Xie Daoqing was not a serious illness, but a heart disease caused by the uneasiness and panic in his heart when he suddenly handed over power. Xie Daoqing fainted once, her health was not good, but fortunately, after this period of recuperation, there has been a lot of improvement, otherwise in the face of the sharp change of power just now, she might faint again.
Cheng Yue let go of Xie Daoqing's wrist. Shoved her hand into the quilt. Carefully tuck the quilt. Turning his head to the concubines, he said lightly: "It's okay, just take a rest for the queen mother, you all go back, don't stay here." ”
The concubines got the letter, how could they not believe it? left happily, and the bold ones threw a few winks at Cheng Yue, but I don't know if Cheng Yue saw it.
Cheng Yue left Quan Jiu and the four ladies of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Jia Guifei and Wang Qinghui.
After Quan Jiu and the other concubines left, he asked in a low voice, "Is the saint really okay?" ”
Cheng Yue said with great certainty: "It's really fine." After more than half a year of recuperation, the queen mother's body is stronger than before, I believe you can also see it. ”
Quan Jiu couldn't help but nod and said, "That's true, the saint lives comfortably in the villa, and his body is also strong." I used to walk for a quarter of an hour at most, but now I can walk for more than an hour, and I am even more tireless in tending to flowers, vegetables and fruits. ”
Cheng Yue said: "The queen mother has worked hard for half a lifetime, and after that, she should be raised for a long time, and she should no longer worry too much about the government." Leave the outside affairs to me, and you take good care of the queen mother. I have only one relative like her in the world, and I can't let her old man have an accident. ”
Cheng Yue's tone was quite stern. Quan Jiu thought that the other concubines would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, the fourth lady of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Jia Guifei, and Wang Qinghui all said with a soft face: "Yes." With a slight salute in his hand, his waist bent over.
Is this a courtier speaking to a concubine? It has become the head of the family to reprimand the concubine in the family!
Quan Jiu looked at the six concubines in surprise - what is Cheng Yue's relationship with them?
Cheng Yue ignored Quan Jiu's confusion, stood up and said, "Queen Mother, when the queen mother wakes up, you can order some soup to be stewed in the imperial kitchen." The minister still has something to do, so he will retire first, and come to visit the queen mother later. ”
Quan Jiu said seriously: "I remember, you have something to do, go quickly." The saint has great hopes for you, and you must not let down the saint's painstaking efforts. ”
Cheng Yue smiled faintly and withdrew.
Quan Jiu stared deeply at Cheng Yue's back, and after he disappeared, he moved his gaze to the face of the sixth concubine and said, "You guys go back too, the saint is under my care, and I will call you if there is something." ”
The six concubines saluted and withdrew from the hall, and Quan Jiu sat alone at the head of Xie Daoqing's bed, sighed weakly, and sat on the soft chair until noon.
Cheng Yue came out of the palace and found that none of the ministers left, and they were all lined up neatly outside the palace gate, as if they were still in the court, waiting for Cheng Yue to leave the palace. Seeing Cheng Yue appear, the ministers immediately saluted together.
Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "Why should you be polite? The saint phoenix is unharmed, please go home. ”
Liu Mengyan stepped forward and said, "With the Metropolitan Governor beside the saint, we don't have to worry. His face was full of inquiry.
Cheng Yue knew what the ministers and others wanted to ask here, and said in a deep voice: "The queen mother ordered me to lead the matter of changing the law, the imperial examination, and coinage, from today onwards, all the chapters must be sent to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion first, and I will choose to report to the two saints." Any decree or edict, in addition to the signature and seal that should be signed, must be stamped with the seal of the Metropolitan Government before it can be implemented. The appointment and dismissal of officials below the second grade is at the discretion of the Metropolitan Governor's Office! ”
Cheng Yue's words were categorical, leaving no room for anything, and the meaning of monopolizing power was not disguised at all. The articles he said are equivalent to taking away all the power of the two prime ministers, and they need to be strengthened a little more.
In fact, this is not Cheng Yue's initiative, and the ministers who have always controlled the government have implemented this set, such as Jia Nidao not long ago. However, compared with Jia Yidao's dictatorship, Cheng Yue is more domineering and powerful.
There are only two first-rank officials in the court, Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong, and Cheng Yue is only the second grade, so he limits the appointment and removal of official positions to the second grade. But everyone knows very well in their hearts that as long as Cheng Yue is willing, the two prime ministers can be removed at any time!
The ministers received the order awe-inspiringly, and Liu Mengyan, Chen Yizhong and his henchmen were extremely respectful, and their waists were almost bent to the ground, but they barely knelt down and kowtowed. The official qualifications of Liu and Chen were far above Cheng Yue, and they saluted officials who were lower than themselves, and this official was only twenty-one years old, which was also the first time in their lives.
Cheng Yue didn't want to be majestic here, and after he finished saying what he should say, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "In the future, I will ask you for more advice." ”
The ministers were busy and didn't dare, so they stepped forward to say goodbye to Cheng Yue in order.
Wen Tianxiang saw this scene in the back, and couldn't help but feel emotional. The scene when he first saw Cheng Yue was still in his mind, but in more than a year, Cheng Yue had done countless great things, not only shocking Mongolia, but also firmly putting the government of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands. In all dynasties, how have you ever seen such a young hero?
After Cheng Yue said goodbye to the ministers, he did not gather anyone and returned to the mansion alone.
Entering the back house, Kuo Kuolun and other women were all in the back hall around the table clock that Ali Hague had just sent to look strange, and they were so excited that they chattered non-stop. Ding Niang had seen the sample before, so she took on the responsibility of explaining. When Cheng Yue came in, Ding Niang just finished speaking.
When Kuo Kuolun saw Cheng Yue returning home, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yue with admiration, and said, "Cheng Yue, what is your head made of?" Why do you know so many things? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "The carving insect skill is nothing." ”
Nangjiazhen said: "Xianggong, did you send this kind of grandfather clock to Father Khan?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "The one dedicated to the Great Khan is still being made separately, and we can bring it over together when we go north, so there is no need to worry." ”
Kuo Kuolun's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Are there any of us in these clocks?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Of course, each of you has one, choose your favorite." ”
Kuo Kuolun and Ba Ba Han had already taken a fancy to the table clock, and they were overjoyed when they heard the words, and ordered their palace maids to move the table clock they liked back to their rooms as soon as possible.
Ding Niang asked: "Xianggong, is it going well in the court today?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I was about to say, from today onwards, our family will also change." ”
All the women were startled, and they all listened intently.
Cheng Yue said: "Today I took three movements. The first is to make new coins. The second is to reform the imperial examination. The third way is to change the law to be strong. The queen mother is all allowed, so that I will always take responsibility. ”
All the women were shocked by Cheng Yue's drasticism, they thought that Cheng Yue was just taking power, but they didn't expect him to think further and do a big job.
Cheng Yue said: "I plan to set up a secretariat in the house, with Ding Niang in charge, Liu Niang, Huan Niang, Jian Niang, Dao Sheng, Shufang, Lilac, Xue'er, and Mei'er as deputies. In the future, the recital will be sent to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion first, and you must first review the recital, summarize and report it to me, and then distribute it to all ministries and yamen after approval. It's the same as dealing with things in the SAR, but the work is heavier, so be prepared. ”
Ding Niang was so surprised that she stammered a little, and said, "...... Xianggong, what about the two prime ministers? ”
Cheng Yue said categorically: "They will either bow down to their orders or be replaced by others, and there is no other way to go!" ”
Huanniang covered her mouth and smiled: "What does my sister care about the two prime ministers, now my sister is the prime minister herself!" ”
When all the women heard this, they felt very reasonable, and they all showed smiles on their faces, and they congratulated Dingniang one after another.
Cheng Yue's face was always grim, and he said: "I have been planning for a long time to change the law of the Great Song Dynasty, and now I can completely implement it." The stakes are high, and you have to be careful at all times. The so-called sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, it's the right time! ”
Dingniang took all the concubines to salute together and received the order solemnly. Many beautiful girls, at this time, are like generals who want to go into battle to kill the enemy, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere!
After the salute, Ding Niang said firmly: "Xianggong has been very effective in changing the law in the Special Administrative Region, and the world is looking at the wind and shadows, and after more than a year of education and preparation, the change will be successful!" ”
Cheng Yue said: "My reform of the law in the Special Administrative Region has never touched the foundation of the imperial examination, and this time I have ordered to pay equal attention to the new study of Confucianism, and maybe some people will stand up and swear to oppose it, which is not the same as the change of the law in the Special Administrative Region." ”
Guan Sheng said: "Is Xianggong talking about the Elders' Association?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "Yes, there may be others, but no matter who it is, it can't change my determination." ”
Xue'er said: "Official, do you want to adjust the ministers in the court?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "For the time being, you don't need to, you can use it as much as possible, otherwise it will be a shame, and I just want to see what plans the ministers of the DPRK and China have in their hearts, whether they are really on my side." (To be continued......)
