The two hurried to the palace, Zhao Gou lay on the dragon couch with his eyes closed, and sat around the queen and all the noble concubines, Zhao Tianci and Zhao Bocong met the ceremony, they got out of the way, Zhao Tianci rushed to the bed to see Zhao Gou's appearance, his heart was very sad, he grabbed Zhao Gou's hand and called softly, "Father? ”

Zhao Gou opened his eyes slightly, his eyes rolled, and two lines of tears flowed.

The great eunuch Guo Huai'an walked over with the holy decree in his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has ordered someone to draw up the holy decree before his illness worsens, and once the situation suddenly changes, read it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time." ”

Zhao Tianci looked at Zhao Gou, and when he saw him nodding, he took the holy decree and opened it to take a look, there were not many words on it, only "I bow down and disobey the peace, I don't win the country, the prince is smart, and he is immediately in power." With these four words, his nose was sour, he clenched Zhao Gou's hand, and burst into tears, "Father, what the hell is going on?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled, shook his head silently, and nodded again. Zhao Tianci can probably guess what he means, I'm afraid he still said that the destiny of heaven is returned, and there is no need to complain about it. Zhao Tianci said, "Father, the child must work hard to revive the Great Song Dynasty, restore the land, drive and kill the enemy, and regain control of the general trend of the world!" ”

Zhao Gou smiled again and nodded vigorously.

Zhao Tianci pulled Zhao Bocong and said, "Father, the child has something to ask his father, if he takes over the government, the child may not be able to **** to come to serve the left and right, and he is willing to ask his father to accept Bocong's brother as his righteous son, recognize Aunt Zhang as his mother, and do his filial piety in front of his father's bed on behalf of the child!" After saying that, he knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

When he said this, Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Bocong fixedly, Zhao Bocong also turned over and knelt down, kowtowing three times, "My nephew is willing to serve the emperor on behalf of the prince's younger brother!" ”

Zhao Gou looked at Concubine Zhang Xian, who was stunned on the side. As if asking for her opinion. Concubine Zhang Xian had heard Zhao Tianci mention this matter before, but he was only joking, who knew that the prince actually mentioned this matter again at this critical juncture, obviously he was not joking.

Concubine Zhang Xian looked at the queen who was speechless, and saw that she didn't say anything unusual, so she also bowed down. "The concubine is willing!"

Zhao Gou nodded, tears rolling down his eyes.

Early the next morning, the military ministers of the Daqing Hall gathered, and the officials above the fourth grade came, and the huge Daqing Hall seemed a little crowded.

Zhao Tianci sat behind the dragon book case in a dragon robe, and the great eunuch Guo Huai'an solemnly read out the holy decree, so that the ministers understood that the emperor had given way.

After congratulating the crown prince on his ascension to the throne, the people began to tremble and prepare to hear the new appointment of the new king.

However, Zhao Tianci's new appointment has nothing to do with them. The original position remains unchanged, each performs its own duties, and each has its own responsibilities. This made many people both relieved and a little unwilling, the new monarch was established, no matter how he said it, he had to be amnesty to the world, and the official was promoted to a level or something, but the little emperor didn't say anything.

The first order issued by the new emperor Zhao Tianci was to remove the palace guards. All the internal guards were replaced by men and horses from the camp, and the original personnel were transferred to the border. This is for the ministers. There's nothing to fuss about, after all, it's just the royal family's own business.

The second order issued by Zhao Tianci was also the royal internal affairs, rebuilding the Great Buddha Temple, expanding the temple, and letting the Emperor Zhao Gou live in it, begging the gods and Buddhas to bless him for a speedy recovery.

The third command is even more inconspicuous. Emperor Taishang accepted Zhao Bocong as his righteous son, and accompanied Emperor Taishang to fulfill his filial piety on behalf of the new emperor. But Zhao Tianci added another sentence later, "All relatives and internal officials who see Zhao Bocong need to perform the prince's ceremony!" This sentence blew up the nest all of a sudden, and the court, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively. Zhao Ding was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate!" Zhao Tianci knew that there would be objections, so he smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Shengfei and Fan Zongyin came out at the same time and said, "Your Majesty, it is very inappropriate to treat the emperor's righteous son with the princely courtesy!" ”

How could Zhao Tianci not know what they were thinking, he smiled faintly and said, "Are you worried that having a crown prince who is older than me will pose a threat to my throne?" ”

Zhao Ding said, "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case!" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Listen, the reason why I want to do this is because I want to be a promising king, a large area of Jiangbei land, hundreds of millions of people are waiting for us to save them from the sea of suffering, I will do this by myself, with Prince Bocong sitting in the palace, my Great Song Dynasty will not be in turmoil again." ”

Zhu Shengfei and the others were stunned, and before they could react, Zhao Tianci's other decision came down, "Therefore, I have decided to re-appoint General Li Gang as the left minister to take charge of the national land rejuvenation event, and the top priority at the moment is also based on this." ”

This was the first bombshell the ministers had heard so far, and they stayed there one by one, not relieving themselves for a long time.

Zhu Shengfei said, "Your Majesty, re-appoint General Li as the prime minister, and the ministers have no objections, but it is better to be cautious about the little prince of Bocong to take the crown prince's ceremony, so as to prevent people with intentions from taking the opportunity to drill into the camp." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Master Zhu, don't worry, I have my own plans." Then he changed his words and said, "Master Fan, I have a very offensive thing here, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" ”

Fan Zongyin said with a smile, "Although the emperor ordered that the ministers should share their worries for the king, whether they offend people or not, it depends on whether it is conducive to the transmission of the emperor's order." ”

Zhao Tianci nodded and said, "Okay!" I need to know the rules for the establishment of official positions in our Great Song Dynasty, as well as whether the existing official positions are clear in terms of official responsibilities, if there are overlapping institutions, unclear personnel responsibilities, and unclear positions, report to me the truth. ”

"Obey the order!" Fan Zongyin bowed and said.

Now the ministers are dumbfounded, what does this mean? Do you want to reset your position? How many people will lose their jobs because of this, and how many people will take advantage of this to soar? Originally, I thought that this little emperor was too lazy to pay attention to them, but now it's okay, it's going to be reshuffled! They focused their eyes on Fan Zongyin almost at the same time.

The last order issued by Zhao Tianci is to clean up the treasury and take stock of the family, how much inventory the Great Song Dynasty has, this is the most important thing to decide how to proceed next! Although I also took stock last time, it was only a rough question, and there was no specific situation report. And this matter was naturally handled by the people of the Prince's Mansion.

And Li Gang started work on the day he received the appointment of the new emperor.

Zhao Tianci had to admire, Li Gang's work efficiency was simply incredibly high, his office was located in the prince's mansion, and within one day he met with more than 40 officials of various departments, and one after another orders were issued after stamping the seal in front of Zhao Tianci. Just the matter of stamping made him tired.

"Master, it's too simple to stamp the imperial seal, it's better for you to do it yourself, just do it, how easy it is!" Zhao Tianci wanted to be lazy.

Li Gang glanced at him and said with a smile, "The crown prince is now the emperor, what is the emperor?" Holding the national weapon, ranking in the ninety-five is the emperor, if the minister casually prepares some useless or even harmful articles to go out, adding the imperial seal is the holy decree, how can the emperor deal with himself? ”

Zhao Tianci stuck out his tongue and retracted his head.

Li Gang sighed, he knew that these things were too boring for him when he was still young, but there was no way to do it!

Zhao Tianci really had a headache, if he had to deal with so many things every day, he didn't have to do anything, he could sit directly in the prince's mansion until he died.

However, he was also very strange in one thing, it stands to reason that Li Gang returned to the phase, and he should immediately use a batch of useful manpower, but there was not a single one of the emperor's orders that he sealed, and he saw that Li Gang finally stopped, so he asked, "Master, why don't you promote some people who need to be used, will they listen to you?" ”

Li Gang said with a smile, "The emperor is wrong again, the minister is the emperor's person, and the emperor must promote him, who is available, who is not available, then the emperor you will personally screen, if the minister is in charge, I believe that within three days, there will be an extremely powerful 'Li Party' above the court, and then the emperor does not need to speak, Zhao Ding Zhao can send the minister back to his hometown." After speaking, he laughed, and Zhao Tianci also smiled, "It's easy to talk to a frank gentleman like the master." ”

Li Gang said, "Your Majesty, the minister knows that the emperor's position should be the first chore in the world, it is very difficult to do well, but it is extremely easy to do badly. Therefore, the ministers will do their best to assist the emperor and try not to make the emperor too tired. ”

Zhao Tianci sighed and said, "Master, I'm really tired!" ”

Li Gang said, "Your Majesty, you are the first to ascend to the throne, now you must keep an eye on it, the ministers are looking at your style of acting, if you slack off, the people below will dare to do ten, there is a saying called 'good above, the lower will tend', this is inevitable for anyone." ”

Zhao Tianci nodded, "I know the master!" When will the conscription start? ”

Li Gang said, "When the household department clears up our family background, we will decide how many people to recruit at that time." ”

In fact, he was most concerned about the establishment of the eight-color camp, and he told the four masters about his idea, and they all agreed, but the premise was that he must be sure that he could afford it.

Li Gang said, "As long as we have more than 5 million silver deposits in the treasury, according to the current system, we can do a thorough job of quelling the civil strife, and even collect the people and horses of those towns together." ”

Zhao Tianci asked tentatively, "Master, there is still money in my small inner mansion......"

Li Gang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers know the emperor's thoughts, those Qian Emperors should keep them to do their own things, aren't you going to set up an eight-color battalion?" I have seen the account books of the small inner house, and according to the current income and deposits, each battalion can recruit 10,000 soldiers. For the country to be on the right track, money is the right way to go. (To be continued.) )
