As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the civil officials changed greatly, and there were many discussions, it seems that Prime Minister Wang Cheng is determined to reverse the normal state of Wenchen Bingguo, and he can even make such arrangements for whoever enters the palace first.

The military generals are some officials of the former Governor's Office of the Five Armies, but since the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was changed to the Military and Political Division, the officials in this yamen have been replaced one by one, and they have become fictitious officials in name and no reality, and the military power is actually controlled by the Left Division of the Military and Political Division, and there are nearly 40 military attachés in the Yamen of the Left Division of the Military and Political Division from top to bottom, all of whom are from the newly organized six battalions of the Beijing Division, and these people are in charge of the commanders and soldiers of the real power, and the right military and political departments are in charge of military and political counselors, and all the military attaches of the Right Division are all from the martial arts examination a few days ago.

It is also the fate of these martial artists, just now the emperor list was immediately entrusted with the important task, the smallest military attache is in the fourth grade, and even the second rank of the senior military attache has been sealed more than 20 in a row, which is unprecedented.

Wang Lanping is not in the war now, and he doesn't need to do much about the right division, the only thing he asks the right division to do is to let these new young military attaches quickly familiarize themselves with everything about the war.

These military attachés have one thing in common, that is, they are full of vitality, they are all about thirty years old, they have ideals, they are insightful, all of them can be admitted to the martial arts for more than ten years, they are all hard to pass through more than ten years of hard examinations with their abilities, they can't be false, and no one will cheat on this, look forward for a year, Wu Ke is a little foot daughter-in-law, not treated by the court, but anyone who has a little way will not take the road to martial arts.

All the military attaches are all long-term martial arts practitioners over the years, and their style of action is somewhat vigorous and resolute, although they are surprised when they hear the words of the soldiers. But he is not humble, and he has taken solid steps one by one. Be the first to enter.

The civil officials dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and waited for the military attachés to enter. Only then did he swallow his anger and follow in, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw that above the majestic platform, Emperor Zhu Yousong and Prime Minister Wang Cheng were already waiting there.

At a glance, the position on the left side of the main hall was originally the place where Wenchen should stand, but at this time, the military attachés who entered the first place took the lead, and there was no way, so he could only stand on the right, not only today. Maybe from now on, Wenchen will be trampled under the military attaché, and this information is being revealed everywhere in today's imperial city alone, who told Prime Minister Wang Cheng to be bent on establishing the country by force.

While everyone was worried, they couldn't help but say in their hearts: You can do whatever you want, and we can't stop it, but we have to inform the officials first, which caught everyone off guard.

Wang Lanping is like this, if he can do everything, he won't say much, and it's better to do some practical things than to say so much nonsense.

Inside and outside the hall, more than 400 officials were silent. Wang Lanping didn't speak, but Zhu Yousong on the dragon seat was like a pins and needles.

For a long time, Zhu Yousong glanced at Han Zanzhou, the eunuch standing on the side, and the Han Gong Guild understood. He glanced down at Wang Lanping, who was sitting on the left side of the dragon throne, but Prime Minister Wang still didn't mean to speak, so he walked over lightly. He whispered, "Prime Minister." All the officials have arrived, and the emperor asked if it was okay to give a big salute? ”

Wang Lanping turned his head to look at him. set his eyes on Zhu Yousong again, Zhu Yousong was looking at himself with a smile on his face, how could he have the slightest imperial spirit.

Wang Lanping didn't speak, just nodded slightly, Han Zanzhou was relieved, turned around and shook his fingers, and said loudly, "Hundreds of officials see the driver!" ”

All the civil and military forces knelt down, and suddenly the sound of long live in the hall sounded, and Wang Lanping also stood up and bowed to Zhu Yousong.

"All the ministers and workers are flat"

"Emperor Xie!"

Only in the face of these false etiquette, Zhu Yousong can experience a trace of the emperor's feeling, listening to the sound of his head hitting the ground and the sound of the officials shouting 'long live' with a red face and a thick neck, Zhu Yousong was complacent, but soon, this joy did not last long, Wang Lanping's nasty body appeared in front of the emperor again, blocking the emperor behind him, and facing the emperor with his butt, which was a great disrespect in all dynasties.

Wang Lanping said, "Today's court meeting, two things, one is the day before Enke, the court can take one of the world's talents to contribute to the country, this is the blessing of the court, all the civil and military talents will gather together to listen to the holy teachings, and the second is the national policy of 'returning the land to the people' after the results of the Tianfu pilot."

Zhu Yousongmu took it, although he really wanted to get back to power.

In the left and right classes of civil and military, six young officials flashed out, and they were the top three of the civil and military double subjects selected by Enke, that is, the champion of civil and military affairs, the eyes of civil and military lists, and the civil and military Tanhua.

The six of them were dressed in brand-new court clothes, and their young faces were sincerely frightened, and they all crawled on the court.

"Weichen knocks on His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yousong was stunned when he heard this, and asked Han Zanzhou on the side in a low voice, "This is the new science and technology jinshi?" Why are you called a minister now? I haven't given them official positions yet."

Although his voice was good, Wang Lanping also heard it, "Your Majesty, at present, talents are rare in the imperial court, and the government affairs of the yamen everywhere are also slacking off due to lack of manpower. ”

Zhu Yousong smiled embarrassedly, "Dingguo Gong is really dedicated to the imperial court, everything is arranged so properly, I have nothing to worry about, do well, do well" In fact, he is hateful in his heart, what is for the court, this is all for the stability of your own power, is there a person here who is a Jinshi appointed by me? It's not all about you, Prime Minister Wang, and it's all about it.

The six newly promoted Jinshi can take the Jinshi according to the new examination questions, and none of them are general, and their practical knowledge is far above academics, and they can see the times thoroughly, otherwise they would not have been able to reform the examination questions such as court paralysis.

The rumor that the emperor was set aside by the prime minister has long been spread all over the world, and today when I look at it in this court, a fool can understand that this is not a rumor.

So, after the six of them finished worshipping the emperor, they got up, but soon, they threw off their sleeves and robes again, and knelt down respectfully, this caution was more sincere than that of the emperor.

"Wechen and others meet the prime minister"

When the ministers heard this, they were dissatisfied, this is the Fengtian Palace. It is a symbol of imperial power, and it is necessary to worship the prime minister. That can only be in the Prime Minister's Office, this adult system.

But Wang Lanping's approach surprised the ministers even more. I saw him walk down the steps of the dragon case quickly, pull down his waist, and personally help the six Jinshi up one by one, "You don't have to do this big gift, they are all officials of the same dynasty, and you need to work for the country with one heart and one mind in the future."

The six people all understood that the prime ministers of the government and the opposition were full of promises, and today everyone was on the emperor list in one fell swoop, and no prime minister nodded. How did this official position come so easily?

Immediately afterwards, the six new Jinshi and the courtiers met one by one, and the chief official of the Prime Minister's Office announced the reappointment of these six people in the court, and added the second rank one by one, in addition, the appointment of the civil and military Jinshi who did not go to the palace today was also read out one by one, not to the surprise of the officials, all the new Jinshi without exception were all arranged in the three divisions of the military, officials, and financial departments under the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this time it was really full of talents. Inexhaustible.

According to Wang Lanping's plan, all the elected officials will be his right-hand men in the future, and these people will have to be obedient in addition to their ability to be officials. After that, slowly replace the current Mingchen with them.

The emperor did not object to the prime minister's arrangement. No one dared to oppose the courtiers, and the appointment of hundreds of court officials was very smooth.

Present. The Military and Political Department and the Finance Department under the Prime Minister's Office. All the officials and government secretaries were fully staffed, and the period of observation was three months.

Subsequently, Wang Lanping asked Zhang Shenyan, who had just returned from the implementation of the new policy, to briefly introduce the results of his mission.

In fact, this is also a formality, the implementation of the new policy is relatively smooth, but the guard army is moved, in two months, Zhang Shenyan for the implementation of the new policy to kill a total of four commanders of the guard, seventeen four-rank military attachés, together with their families of no more than 10,000 people, although it is bloody, it is equivalent to a good start to all the new policy policies, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, who dares to block the national policy of the imperial court, then there is only a dead end.

After Zhang Shenyan finished speaking, his mood was very heavy, more than 10,000 people died in his hands, whether this was a merit or a fault.

Zhu Yousong on the dragon throne heard a burst of sweat, so many hereditary ministers died under the knife of Prime Minister Wang, but as the king of a country, he didn't know at all, he always felt that Prime Minister Wang's knife had reached his neck, but he didn't know when it would fall.

After Wang Lanping and Zhang Shenyan finished speaking, he turned back to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shangshu has implemented a new policy for the imperial court, which benefits the people and merits the imperial court, and asks the emperor to praise him."

Zhang Shenyan hurriedly knelt down, he didn't want any reward, he just wanted to be able to get by on his conscience, he only hoped that so many people would not die in vain, and the new policy could really promote the finances of the imperial court.

Zhu Yousong looked at Zhang Shenyan in the court, how can this courtier, who was once loyal to the Zhu Ming Dynasty, be so obedient to the rebellious ministers and thieves now, aren't you all famous since you were a child? Didn't the saints tell you the teachings of the king to be dishonored and the king to be humiliated and to die? You are all blind, you can't see that I am being played by the prime minister, what loyal ministers, what Confucianism, can blame the first emperor for being able to send out the grief and indignation of 'all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can be killed', a group of spineless things.

But he Zhu Yousong was even more spineless, as soon as he heard Wang Lanping's invitation, he immediately said, "The prime minister's words are reasonable, and meritorious service is naturally rewarded, according to the prime minister's opinion, what reward should Zhang Shangshu award?" ”

Wang Lanping looked sideways at Zhang Shenyan who was kneeling, judging from the implementation of the new policy in the past two months, Zhang Shenyan can be regarded as vigorous and resolute, he is a capable minister, this kind of person must be dead to himself, besides, Lao Tzu borrowed your hand to cut off more than 10,000 heads, if you don't follow the master, you will be scolded to death sooner or later.

Wang Lanping bowed his hand to the emperor and said, "The minister proposes that Zhang Shenyangong is in the current dynasty, and he deserves to be a marquis, and the emperor is asked to confer Zhang Shangshu as the Marquis of Jiangning."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shenyan's eyes were big, Marquis Jiangning, just listening to this title, you know, but if the title will carry the name of Jiang, Tian, Guo and other lofty words, it is the top title, which is many times higher than those with directions and place names in the name.

Zhu Yousong was also powerless to refute, he had killed so many Ming lords, but you got a Jiangning Marquis, and the most damned thing was you Zhang Shenyan.

"At the invitation of the quasi-prime minister, Gonggong Han, the Ministry of Rites engraved a gold seal, gave a guard of honor, and sealed Zhang Shenyan as the Marquis of Jiangning"

Wang Lanping smiled, looked at Zhang Shenyan, who was still in a daze, and said, "Jiang Ninghou, don't you thank you?" ”

Zhang Shenyan suddenly said, "Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live the emperor" said so, but he also understood that this marquis was given to him by Prime Minister Wang, and it was also in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this meaning could not be more obvious, from now on, whether he wants to or not, everyone in the world knows that Zhang Shenyan and Prime Minister Wang Chengxiang are one party.

In today's court, in addition to the official is a reward, it seems that the joy is dissolved, and the hanging hearts of the officials have gradually relaxed, not bad, the prime minister did not kill people in the court today.

The court discussion continued, and several eunuchs walked quickly to the Fengtian Temple.

"Emperor Qibing, the magistrates have sent congratulatory watches one after another, a total of one hundred and seventy-eight copies, please ask the emperor to read it"

Zhu Yousong was confused, no year's or festival, and the emperor Lao Tzu had no happy events to celebrate.

"Greetings?" Zhu Yousong glanced at Wang Lanping, "What do I have to congratulate?" He seemed to be asking the eunuch, but he was actually asking Wang Lanping.

Of course, the matter of congratulatory table was arranged by Wang Lanping, and such a face-showing thing must be heard by all the ministers in the court, the Beijing officials are afraid of Lao Tzu, and now even foreign court officials have to come to curry favor, and see who else dares to get along with me Wang Lanping from now on.

"Right? What do you wish for? Wang Lan asked pretending to be stupid.

The little eunuch bowed and said, "Back to the emperor and the prime minister, all the congratulatory tables are here to congratulate the prime minister's marriage."

Zhu Yousong understood, all the officials in the world were afraid when they heard about the marriage between Prime Minister Wang Cheng and Zheng Shi, didn't you all be able to denounce Wang Cheng's dictatorship before? This sycophant, is there any Zhu family in my eyes, I am the Son of Heaven, can the prime minister's marriage be able to send the congratulatory watch to this Fengtian Hall by hundreds of officials in the world?

As soon as the courtiers heard this, some people soon came back to their senses, and the six members of the new branch came out of class first, and said in unison, "Congratulations to the prime minister and others."

Someone takes the lead, naturally the rest of the officials can't lag behind, although reluctantly, but there is no way, Prime Minister Wang Cheng selected hundreds of scholars from all over the country at one time, and with a wave of his hand, all the Beijing officials can be replaced.

"Xiaguan congratulates the prime minister on his wedding anniversary"

Zhu Yousong looked at this frame, it's over, the local officials can't count on it, and even the Beijing officials have thrown themselves at the feet of Prime Minister Wang, this is the Fengtian Palace, I am still here, and you dare to say the private affairs of the prime minister in the palace, where I am.

"Gratifying and congratulating, Dingguo Gong works hard for the country, there should be a virtuous helper around him to know the cold and the hot, I also want to ask the prime minister to have a happy wine, Han Gonggong, pass the decree, the prime minister's wedding is the prosperous era of my dynasty, it should be celebrated by the whole world, the day of the prime minister's wedding, the whole city of Nanjing is covered in red, and the celebration is three days"

Wang Lanping arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen" (to be continued.) )
