Chapter 440: The Emperor's Road (11)
The next day, the empress issued an edict ordering the crown prince Wei Wang to supervise the country, except for life and death matters, all matters in the court and China are decided by the prince, the court and the central government are in an uproar, only the science officials rejoiced, changed the silence that was suppressed in the past, and they began to discuss the government and politics.
Wu Chuan is in charge of the country, his heart is heavy, and he is not even interested in having sex with his wife and concubine. Although the supervision of the country is something he is willing to accept, but the empress has let Yang Zaisi and Su Moleng serve as the prince's left and right concubines, and the meaning of this surveillance is obvious.
In order to clear her responsibilities and relieve pressure, the empress let him supervise the country, but she didn't want to see Wu Chu not handling state affairs under her control, so she brought the two lackeys she pulled to Wu Chuan and monitored Wu Chuan in the name of assisting the crown prince. This made Wu Zheng suddenly alert, it seems that the empress is still greedy for power, unless she is dead, it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne.
But then again, who can become an emperor is not greedy for power? The emperor who is not greedy for power, that is just the trend of the environment.
Wucheng Palace.
Since Shangguan Wan'er learned that her man was in charge of the country, she had to come to Wucheng Hall early, and as in the past, she sorted the music that had been sent to her, and then recorded it in a book, so that Wu Cheng could browse it quickly. The purpose of this is simply to improve the efficiency of the review. Sometimes there are thousands of notes a day, and if you don't do that, you can't finish the review at all, which delays the matter. More than 500 copies of the notes sent early this morning Shangguan Wan'er quickly browsed the records, and immediately smiled, these individual science officials actually blatantly congratulated His Highness, isn't this to leave a tongue for the court.
Now. King Wu of Wei is no longer as leisurely as in the past, and since the review and recital, there is not much time to waste. If it weren't for Shangguan Wan'er, the "inner minister", he estimated that every day would crush him to death. Not to mention, I have to talk to Shangguan Wan'er about love and do that happy thing between lovers.
Stepping into the imperial city, officials had already arrived, so they bowed and saluted from afar. Now Wu Chuan is in charge of the country, although he cannot be regarded as the emperor, but he exercises the power of the emperor. Therefore, these officials no longer dare to say hello as casually as before, or avoid them from a distance, or pretend not to see them.
Wu Chu smiled slightly. or nodded, or returned the salute, and soon came to the Wucheng Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er in the Wucheng Hall was already behind the bookcase. The eunuch snorted. "The prince has arrived!"
Shangguan Wan'er and the other palace maids and eunuchs bowed down to greet them, and the sleeves of Wu Qi's robe waved, and said, "No courtesy!" And he sat down behind the royal case.
Shangguan Wan'er took the registered music and handed it to Wu Chu, Wu Chu took it, but after a while, he smiled and said: "These people, so let's order the prime minister." There are also various departments of Shangshu and squires, who go to Wucheng Hall to discuss matters. β
He has a eunuch in his own palace to give orders. Wu Chuan quickly flipped through the notes, and all the notes that slipped and slapped the horses were thrown into the wastebasket, and carefully reviewed the urgent matters that were to be solved. Some important matters need to be raised in a while.
Since he has been in charge of the country, he will do his best to cultivate his own people during this time, and when necessary, launch a coup d'Γ©tat in one fell swoop, eradicate dissidents, ascend to the throne with thunderous means, and then slowly work hard.
After a stick of incense, the main officials of the various ministries came together, they bowed down to give a salute, and Wu Zong could not be careless, so he returned the salute slightly, and gave the elders a seat.
Wu Chu glanced at the important ministers, and said: "Today is the first time that this king is in charge of the country, there must be mistakes, all the ministers are the ministers of my Great Zhou Dynasty, please give me advice, this king will definitely accept it with an open mind." β
Yang Zaisi arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is serious, Your Highness has been in the center for a long time, and he is extremely proficient in handling political affairs, and he is a model for my courtiers." β
Yang Zaisi was secretly called a "two-legged wild fox" by hundreds of officials, and he knew that he was cunning and abnormal, and now he is the prince's left concubine, nominally assisting the prince, but who is he? While swearing to the empress, he patted Wu Zheng's ass at this time. That is to tell the prince, you are the prince, what you do Yang Zaisi will not care, you just treat me as if you don't exist.
Wu Chu smiled slightly and said, "This king is not a sage, how can he be wrong?" Then you need not humble yourself, for the king is not a fierce god, but if there are any shortcomings or mistakes of the king, point them out, or let them know the shortcomings of the king, so that they may be corrected. But ......"
Wu Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and the officials were nervous for a while, even Lou Shide, Yang Zaisi, Su Wei and others who were sitting felt a wave of evil in their faces, and their hearts suddenly tightened, sure enough, the name of this "butcher" is really not a legend.
Wu Shu said: "But if you criticize this king in private, if you let this king know, this king will definitely ask you 'why'!" This king treats the ministers frankly, and I also hope that all the important ministers of the Great Zhou can be honest with the king, this king has had, and this king has changed it, but it is a hypocrite to criticize it in private. β
Lou Shide and several other old ministers got up, bowed down and said, "The ministers are panicked, and I will obey His Highness's order." β
Wu Chu said: "Several prime ministers have sat down, there is no need to be so formal. This king just said the ugly words ahead. β
Several prime ministers bowed down and thanked them, and then sat down again, and the rest of the officials also thought about it in their hearts, and the science officials such as Yao Yuanchong, Song Jing and others were happy in their hearts, and they saw that a master of Zhongxing was slowly growing up. An emperor who is not afraid to correct mistakes is very valuable.
So, Yao Yuanchong went out and said: "His Royal Highness's words made Wei Chen feel heartfelt, Wei Chen has a advice, I don't know what His Royal Highness and the ministers think." β
Wu Chuan was very satisfied with Yao Yuanchong and others, who had already made enviable achievements in their official positions. So he asked, "Yuan Chong said to listen to it." β
Yao Yuanchong bowed and said: "Since the long live of the Holy Heavenly Book, except for the great dynasty on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the court and the central government no longer set up an early dynasty, which has caused a lot of slackness among hundreds of officials, and even some officials have the phenomenon of arriving late and leaving early. Therefore, Weichen built yΓ¬, starting from His Royal Highness, restoring the early dynasty, so that the world can see the new atmosphere of the court. β
Yao Yuanchong said this, Wu Zheng was also shocked in his heart, if this is the case, then he is no different from the emperor in the hearts of his subjects and officials, and after a long time, what will be the result? So, he looked at the prime ministers such as Doulu Qinwang and Lou Shide, and asked, "What do you think of the internal history and the servants?" β
Lou Shide moved his fat body and said slowly: "What Yao Shangshu said is indeed an important reason for the slackness of hundreds of officials in the court today, and the old minister thinks that this is imperative. β
Doulu Qinwang is an internal history, although he is attached to Wu Zheng, but when it is time to express his position, he must also express his position, so he said: "The reopening of the early dynasty is beneficial to the imperial court, and the ministers agree." β
In this way, the matter of the early dynasty was decided first.
Next, Wu Shu said slowly: "There are three main things to call all the important ministers over to discuss matters today, but they can be classified as one. The first thing is the influx of Hebei refugees in Weizhou and Zhuozhou, which makes food scarce, and the imperial court must allocate grain and grass within a month, and the matter will be handed over to the local officials to deal with, and the king will also follow up. The second thing is the recruitment of soldiers, this matter has been thought about again and again, and it will be handled by Xia Guan and the Great Zhou Wuyuan. The third thing is the military situation in Hebei, how to quell the rebellion against the Khitan and restore peace to the border. These three things are the urgent problems that the imperial court needs to solve now. I would like to ask you to express your opinions, and we will solve them one by one. (To be continued......)
