Chapter 267: Prime Minister Liu Sheng

In the Luoyang Palace, after the hundred officials finished the ceremony, Sima Zhao stood at the top and saluted Chai Xianjun: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, now the new law has been completely abolished, but as far as the ministers know, there are still people who, under the banner of changing the law, are tyrannical and tyrannical, and regard the law as nothing."

"Please also tell the prime minister who dares to ...... so boldly." Behind Chai Xianjun, Han Shiting sat behind the curtain and asked Sima Zhao's words.

Sima Zhao's eyes turned to the household department, looking directly at Lu Qing, and a slight chill came to his face: "Who is it, I think Lu Shangshu should know best."

"Prime Minister...... What do you mean by that? Why do you say that the lower officials understand this? “。 Lu Qing was in a hurry, and hurriedly retorted, looking at Sima Zhao's appearance, I am afraid that the person who came is not good.

Sima Zhao looked at Lu Qing's gaze, and gradually turned cold: "What do you mean?" Lu Shangshu is afraid that he understands in his heart, and deliberately does not want to inform the Queen Mother, His Majesty and all his colleagues."

"Prime Minister, although I respect you, I still ask you not to, blood spurts. I have a book of books, how can I be ridiculed by you." Lu Qing waved his sleeves heavily, his face full of indignation.

Sima Zhao took out a letter from his sleeve and saluted Chai Xianjun respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, this is the evidence collected by the ministers, and please ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to take a look."

A eunuch walked over, took the fold in Sima Zhao's hand with both hands, and handed it to Han Shiting behind the curtain: "After Your Majesty watches, you can give it to the hundred officials at a glance."

"The emperor obeyed ...... orders". The eunuch respectfully took the fold from Han Shiting's hand and handed it to Chai Xianjun.

Not long after, this letter was passed to the hundred officials in the palace, and after watching it for a while, Lu Qing's face suddenly turned pale: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty ......."

"Lu Qing, is there anything else that needs to be explained to the mourning family and His Majesty?" Han Shiting's voice came from behind the curtain. Although the tone is flat, there is a hint of unquestionable flavor.

Lu Qing sighed gloomily, officials from all over the country have become accustomed to the benefits brought by the new law, and they want to remove them by force and completely put an end to them, how can it be so simple: "The minister has nothing to say, and he is willing to listen to it."

"Someone who came, Lu Qing, the head of the household department, was suspended for investigation and was sent to prison." Han Shiting whispered a few words to Chai Xianjun, and Chai Xianjun directly commanded the hundred officials above the main hall.

Two guards in front of the palace came and picked up Lu Qing and was about to pull him down.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came, and Li Miao, Yang Yong, and Liu Sheng came and knelt down in front of Chai Xianjun: "Li Miao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Yong, the envoy of the Northwest Jiedu and the envoy of the Northwest Section, and Liu Sheng, the commander of the Navy Division and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, meet Your Majesty."

"The three Aiqing, please get up, Li Shangshu doesn't know why, you only returned today ......." Chai Xianjun didn't wait for Han Shiting to prompt behind him, looked at Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, and asked Li Miao.

The three of them stood up, and Baiguan's heart was shocked, feeling that something big was about to happen.

Li Miao bowed to Chai Xianjun and replied respectfully: "In the past, my Great Zhou Dynasty was stormy, and I went to Liao State on the orders of the first emperor. Half a year ago, the Liao people went south, and the minister was sent back to China, and met the first emperor on the road, and the first emperor ordered me to go to Jiajia Village and ask Admiral Liu to enter the court. I didn't want the first emperor to die suddenly when he was at war with Liao, and he went around and around until today. Only then did I persuade Admiral Liu to come with me to meet His Majesty."

"The first emperor invited Admiral Liu to enter the court? Why haven't the mourners heard of it? Li Shangshu shouldn't be this, you deliberately made an excuse in order to exonerate yourself...... Han Shiting was behind the curtain and asked Li Miao.

Yang Yong didn't wait for Li Miao to explain, and saluted Chai Xianjun: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Li Shangshu can testify about this matter." The ministers of the day are just right, and they are by the side of the first emperor."

"Since Yang Jingluo's envoy said that this matter is true, then Li Shangshu, can he ask for the holy decree of the first emperor? After all, the first emperor is the same, if there is no edict from the first emperor, the mourning family will definitely not believe it." Han Shiting frowned slightly, and asked Li Miao again.

Li Miao listened to the question and sneered in his heart. seems to be talking about himself, but in fact, what this sword is referring to is probably the phase: "The minister did not have an edict from the first emperor, after all, the situation was urgent at that time, and a verbal edict was sufficient."

"Li Miao sent you a book of books, knowing that the first emperor was the reason, but he also pretended to be the first emperor's dictation. At this time, the first emperor is not there, so I can't blame you, but how can the mourning family spare you." Han Shiting was furious and suddenly stood up from behind the curtain. Although it is through the curtain, this anger can be felt by the hundred officials.

Liu Sheng saluted Chai Xianjun and Han Shiting behind: "The Queen Mother is angry, in fact, this matter is true or false, as long as you ask the first emperor to send another edict, you can understand the authenticity."

"Admiral Liu, since the three of you entered this palace, you have been talking about the first emperor, aren't you teasing the mourning family? The dead husband is newly mourned, you dare to do so". Han Shiting looked directly at the three of them through the curtain, her eyes full of anger.

Just when Han Shiting was angry, Wang An walked in with a person in her arms: "The Queen Mother is so majestic, the mourning family is here, just to complete a last wish of the first emperor, I don't know if it's okay."

"Since it is the intention of the queen mother, the sons obey the orders." Han Shiting walked from behind the curtain to the side of the Queen Mother and bowed directly.

The Empress Dowager nodded, and commanded to the queen: "Cao Gao, you remember the edict left by the first emperor before he set out on the expedition."

"The old slave obeys the order ......". Cao Gao respectfully walked over from behind the Empress Dowager and opened the edict in his hand: "Remove the acting prime minister Sima Zhao, restore the official Chang'an Taishou, and worship Liu Sheng as the prime minister."

"Lower officials and others participate in the prime minister's ......". As soon as Cao Gao's voice fell, the voice of worship spread from the low-level officials outside the hall to the main hall. One by one, the officials bowed. In the blink of an eye, half of the officials in the main hall bowed down together with the officials outside the hall.

Sima Zhao laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart, took off the official hat on his head, and didn't expect that in the eyes of the first emperor, he was just an acting prime minister, so it was not appropriate: "Minister Sima Zhao received the decree ......."

Han Shiting watched Sima Zhao receive the edict of the first emperor, and saw the officials in the palace and outside the palace, all bowed to Liu Sheng, and then sighed in her heart: "As a woman, the mourning family is too involved in government affairs, and there is something wrong with it." Now that there is a former emperor and a virtuous person, it is better to let the mourning family and support the mother and return to the palace."

"Okay, the Queen Mother can understand the general situation, and the mourning family is very happy." The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, and with Han Shiting's support, she slowly walked out.

Cao Gao waved his hand when he saw the two of them walking away, and after several eunuchs respectfully removed the curtain, they picked up the prime minister's official hat handed by Sima Zhao and walked towards Chai Xianjun.

Chai Xianjun took the prime minister's official hat, walked down in person, and handed it to Liu Sheng: "I respect the last order of the first emperor, worship Liu Sheng as the prime minister."

"The lower officials have seen the prime minister ......." Another neat sound of worship resounded throughout the palace.

Liu Sheng respectfully took the prime minister's official hat, put it on the top of his head, turned to look at the hundred officials bowing inside and outside the hall, and his face gradually became serious: "The ancients and officials do not disturb the people, and the **** can recuperate." Therefore, this prime minister and all his colleagues, the three chapters of the law. First, from now on, hundreds of officials will be governed by inaction, see more, listen more, think more, say less and do less, and for things that are not clear and can't figure out, you can sit and wait for things to develop, and if it is beneficial, it will be rewarded afterwards, and if it is harmful, it will be punished afterwards. Second, the prime minister and the imperial court do not delve into whether the new law or the old law is implemented in various places, as long as it is beneficial to the local people's livelihood, it is due to the imperial court. Third, the Ministry of Officials has completely abolished the evaluation of officials at all levels. From the scriptures to the future, there is only one scale for the officials to evaluate the hundred officials. The official is in office, and he will reward the people and the society for meritorious service, and punish him if he has done wrong. If the local officials, and the people under their rule, are more affluent than before, they are promoted, and if they remain the same, they are eliminated. If, after the official takes office, the life of the people under his rule is not only not improved, but becomes more miserable, then the official will be punished. In addition, the true phase and the imperial court are not deeply studied."

"The lower officials and others will obey the orders of the prime minister......". The hearts of all the officials were overjoyed, and they should have said in unison. I thought that Liu Sheng's first ascension to the stage would be drastic and set off a bloody storm, but I didn't expect him to be so lenient with officials at all levels. As long as you can make the people's lives better, it doesn't matter if you have a little bit of grace.
