Emperor Jing put down the teacup in his hand and asked with great interest, "How is the situation in the early dynasty today?" ”

"As my father expected, the ministers of the prime minister's line swore to see my father." Liu Che smiled slightly, without a trace of resentment.

"Well, when the court first discussed, it was also they who opposed the establishment of King Liang as the prince, and they were all loyal ministers." Emperor Jing was not surprised at all, the royalist faction led by Yuan Ang would only be loyal to Sheji and the Son of Heaven, even the crown prince Liu Che could not control it now. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't need to be discouraged, now that you are still young, although my body is gradually weakening, I can still hold on for a few more years." ”

Liu Che looked at Emperor Jing seriously, and said slowly: "Father is too worried, the court can have these loyal ministers, and the society is very lucky!" ”

Emperor Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked casually, "What's wrong with the Dou family?" ”

"Dou Jun's proposal to let the ministers meet the emperor's grandmother seems to have the intention of letting the emperor's grandmother act as an auxiliary minister."

"Oh?" The teacup in Emperor Jing's hand shook slightly, his eyebrows raised without a trace, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.

Liu Che continued casually: "It's Gongsun Kunxie who insists on acting according to the order, and the son is the supervisor of the country, I think it's because of Gongsun He." ”

Emperor Jing shook his head and said jokingly: "Why should the emperor cover up for him? You're too underestimating me, and you're afraid I'll cut off your wings. The emperor is now just a fledgling with a little fluff. If I am young and strong, I am still afraid that the emperor will form a party for personal gain, and intend to usurp. But in today's situation, even after a hundred years, the power of the emperor may not be able to compete with a cadre of relatives. The disaster of the Lu family is only a few decades ago, and I really can't rest assured! ”

Liu Che shrugged helplessly, and did not try to comfort the emperor's father. Slow surname pneumonia is a stubborn disease that is grinding, and it reminds Emperor Jing all the time, making him realize that he has little time to say. Since the emperor's father himself does not shy away from talking about life and death, Liu Che does not need to be hypocritical.

Liu Che pondered for a moment, and then pointed out: "It's Tingwei Zhang Guan, who hesitates, and seems to want to be alone." ”

"Zhang Guan came from a humble background, and he can't compare to those wealthy families, so he is naturally cautious, but it is understandable." Emperor Jing didn't care, and obviously didn't pay much attention to Zhang Guan's position.

Liu Che shook his head and said solemnly: "Even if Zhang Guan is ranked as the third duke, or even if he takes refuge in his relatives, his sons can understand." However, now that he is a court lieutenant and ranks among the nine kings, he is submissive and hesitant, and it is really not suitable to continue to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

Emperor Jing was stunned when he heard this, and wondered: "Where did the emperor say this?" ”

"Ting Wei is in charge of the world's criminal prisons, and the sentences are all serious cases. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the sentence of the Son of Heaven and the Three Princes can be refuted. If the court commander is edicted, he can also arrest, imprison, and try the guilty king or minister. The ceremonies and laws were kept in the court and were in charge of matters related to the revision of the laws. Such a heavy responsibility, to a cowardly person who drills the camp, there are all kinds of harm but no benefit! Liu Che replied in a deep voice, the political position is not a problem, the key is that Tingwei is equivalent to the Supreme Procuratorate/Procuratorate/Court and the Supreme Court/Yuan in later generations, and even has legislative power, and it is worse to hand it over to a soft egg to manage than to hand it over to a bad guy.

Emperor Jing pondered for a moment, and then agreed with his jaw: "The emperor is reasonable, but he is just a candidate for this court captain?" Could it be that the emperor wants to use Lieutenant Zhang Tang or recall Zhidu? ”

"Zhang Tang has been promoted to lieutenant, and if he is promoted to Jiuqing again, he will inevitably be criticized. Now that the war is imminent, Zhidu has a heavy responsibility and cannot be moved lightly. Liu Che hurriedly denied it and explained: "What's more, Zhang Tang and Zhi are both cool officials, and they have always been ruthless and abnormal, so they can only be punished, not disciplined!" ”

Emperor Jing quite agreed with Liu Che's opinion, Zhang Tang and Zhi were too ruthless, leaving no room for action, if they were in charge of the law, I am afraid that they would be better than Shang Ying, which is really not a blessing for the society. The tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and the example of the death of the second emperor are vividly placed in front of us.

Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "In that case, does the emperor have other candidates?" ”

Liu Che nodded and said slowly: "The prince washes the horse, Ji Di!" ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Jing heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't say much. The crown prince is an official who assists the prince and teaches the prince political affairs, literature and science. Ranked below Jiuqing, the grade is suitable. Ji Huang is also considered to be from a famous family, and his ancestors were favored by the ancient monarchs. By the time he was in the seventh generation, he had been honored as a secretary and a doctor in the court for generations. After Liu Che was made the crown prince, Ji Di relied on his father to protect him and became the prince to wash the horse, and he was feared because of his solemnity.

Emperor Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know much about Ji Di, what does the emperor think?" ”

Liu Che's face was embarrassed, and he reluctantly commented: "Ji Di is an arrogant minister. ”

Emperor Jing couldn't help but be interested, and said with a smile: "This is a bit interesting, the emperor and talk carefully." ”

"Ji Di is arrogant in getting along with others, does not pay attention to etiquette, confronts people in front of him, and does not tolerate the fault of others. Those who are like-minded to him will be close and friendly; He who does not get along with him is impatient to see him, and the scholars do not want to see him. But Ji Di is studious, and he is good at fighting for righteousness, and he pays great attention to ambition. He is usually at home, and his conduct is beautiful and pure; When teaching his sons, he likes to speak out and advise, and he doesn't care about his sons' faces, and often admires Fu Bai and Yuan An. ”

When Emperor Jing heard this, he said with a mocking face: "Isn't it that the emperor can't stand Ji Di's difficulties, so he recommended him to me, right?" Loyal to the ear, as a prince, you still need to be tolerant. ”

Liu Che was thought about carefully, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's not entirely like this, Ji Di has great talents, and the so-called flaws are not concealed, which is enough to be qualified for the position of court lieutenant." ”

Emperor Jing waved his hand, with a meaningful taste: "If it doesn't work, it can't be done!" Yuan An's old stubbornness has given me a headache, and if I add a young and vigorous Ji Di, I am afraid that I will be angry to death. ”

Liu Che was in a hurry, and hurriedly put on a high hat for the emperor's father: "As the son of heaven, my father naturally has the strength of the heavenly family!" ”

Emperor Jing was speechless, but he couldn't refute it, after all, he had just taught his son to be useful. He pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "That's it! The Ji family has always been loyal and wealthy, and if you want to come to Ji Di, you are not afraid of the coercion of the powerful, so let him try it. ”

When Liu Che heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Di in history, in the Emperor Wu Dynasty, was listed in Jiuqing, so that he could directly advise the court, and Emperor Wu was called "the minister of Sheji", so there is no doubt about it. Now that he can enter the court as an official as soon as possible and be familiar with government affairs, it will be a big help for Liu Che to take power in the future.

At this time, Sun Quan, the eunuch with palm prints, came to report, and Prime Minister Yuan Ang and other ministers were ordered to meet him. Emperor Jing motioned for Liu Che to leave from the apse first, after all, Yuan Ang and other important ministers had a lot of doubts about Liu Che's supervision of the country, and it would inevitably be a little embarrassing to meet at this time, and even leave some estrangement for the queen. Liu Che could naturally understand the emperor's father's good intentions, and happily agreed to retreat.

That night, Yuan Ang and other important ministers stayed in the Pingyu Palace and did not return all night.

The next day, in the early dynasty, Emperor Jing, who had been absent for several days, made a sudden appearance, and removed Zhang Guan, the court lieutenant, from his post and was promoted by the crown prince. Prime Minister Yuan An, who was usually known for his direct advice, surprisingly did not raise any objections, obviously because he had already communicated with the emperor. The ministers couldn't help but secretly doubt, guessing what Yuan Ang and the others talked about when they met His Majesty yesterday.

However, after the next dynasty, Yuan Ang and others kept silent and kept silent about this matter. For a while, all kinds of rumors were noisy, and there was a tendency for mountains and rains to come.
