Chapter 454: The Gift of the Monarch and the Minister

After Qi'er met the principals of the six departments in Fengcui Palace, she returned to the Yaqian Palace, and summoned the officials of the military and the yamen of Chang'an City in turn.

said that he was seeing the new emperor, but in fact, he wanted to see more than the new emperor, Liu Yu would also be on the side, the words were said by the emperor, but what he said was basically made by Liu Yu, and the answer Qi'er got after asking did not need her to continue to ask, there would be a female official on the side to be responsible for recording. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Qu Ning's status suddenly became the "secretary" of the new emperor, and he was almost responsible for all the clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and behavior of the new emperor.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, from noon to sunset, Qi'er saw more than 200 ministers alone, she still met with the spirit of a strong beater, whenever a minister went out, she would always mumble and look at Liu Yu very aggrievedly, Liu Yue understood that Qi'er was under too much pressure today, and she had not rested well these days, Liu Yue had to temporarily stop and postpone some things, and quickly complete a few important things first.

"Tired?"

Seeing off the officials of the Yamen of the Nekure Division, Liu Yu got up from his chair and walked to Qi'er's side and asked.

Qi'er originally shook her head, but when she saw Liu Yue's concerned eyes, she nodded a little aggrieved, today is too special for her, she suddenly changed from an innocent girl to an empress, and no one would be able to accept it. Qi'er is only seventeen years old after this year, and there are many things she still doesn't want to think about, let alone think about how to govern a country.

"Xianggong, when are we going home?" Qi'er looked at Liu Yu and asked.

On the side, Qu Ning's gaze was a little weird. Liu Yu glanced at her. Qu Ningcai continued to sort out today's record manuscript like a person who had nothing to do. Liu Yu sighed. Probably because Qi'er hadn't figured out what it meant to be an empress, she smiled at Qi'er and explained: "In the future, this will be your home, and when you become an emperor, you will stay in the palace, just like your father." ”

"Huh?" When Qi'er heard this, her face immediately became sad, "What about Xianggong?" And also...... Sister Xuanzhu, what about Sister Han? ”

Liu Yu was asked a word, I'm afraid no one can answer this question.

Although there has been no restriction on women inheriting the throne in the old system of the Shun Dynasty. But so far, only Qi'er has become the empress alone, and the most terrible thing is that Qi'er is not only married, but also has many wives on her horse, and she is not a long house. This involves the question of etiquette, whether the empress's husband and her husband's other wives and concubines can live in the palace, the specifications of food and living, and so on. If this issue is left to those old scholars of the National Academy for discussion, there will be no results for ten days and ten nights, which is a very tangled problem.

"I ...... You and your sisters can't live in it for the time being. Liu Yu said after thinking about it. Qi'er, you don't have to be afraid of being lonely, I will often come into the palace to accompany you. ”

"That'...... That Qi'er is no longer the emperor. Qi'er is going home......" Qi'er burst into tears as she spoke, and the thought of being alone in the palace away from Liu Yu was as boring as the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. For her, the talents around her are the most important, and now that her mother has just left Chang'an City and returned to her hometown, she is left with Liu Yu's husband and Xu Xuanzhu and other sisters, if these are gone, she feels that the world is about to collapse.

Liu Yu hugged Qi'er, who was crying very sadly, turned to look at Qu Ning, who was sighing on the side, and asked angrily: "Qu Yinu, I don't know if our family can move to the palace according to the old law?" ”

Qu Ning looked up at Liu Yu, and didn't feel disrespectful at all, as if he was deliberately putting on a shelf by being begged for.

"The abolition of the emperor, can the little woman interject?"

Qu Ning's hard sentence, Liu Yue was not angry, but made a smile. Qu Ning is mocking him in disguise, since you even dare to abolish the emperor without authorization, what kind of etiquette do you care about? Who can stop you if you want to move in?

Liu Yu thought about it, he was also a little too rigid in etiquette, and felt that there should be a smooth transition, so that the government and the opposition should have as few voices of criticism as possible, so that Qi'er's throne could sit firmly. But then again, if it weren't for the military's high-pressure stance, it would be strange that those civilian officials and generals could give in, and now they don't care what others think, as long as they feel appropriate.

"Okay, we'll move in as a family." Liu Yu patted Qi'er's back and smiled.

"Really?" Qi'er burst into tears and laughed, just surprised for a moment, and asked again, "Is it okay with the mother?" ”

If Qi'er didn't mention Concubine Lin, Liu Yu's mood would be quite good, and when she mentioned it, Liu Yu's mood would inevitably be heavier. It was he who forced Concubine Lin to be ashamed of himself, and he wanted to avoid his daughter and son-in-law and go back to his hometown alone. But she is a woman, she doesn't understand anything, what kind of treatment will she get when she returns to her hometown?

Liu Yue thought about it, and it was inevitable that he would be a little more worried in his heart.

Now that Qi'er has ascended the throne as the emperor, Concubine Lin is the justifiable queen mother, and she should have brought Concubine Lin back to enjoy Qingfu earlier. However, because Qi'er's ascension to the throne was not stable, and it coincided with the need to rein in the power of the military and local officials in Guanzhong, as well as the mysterious power that continued to stir up trouble in Chang'an City, all of which made it seem difficult to bring Concubine Lin back.

Be in a hurry, and don't be in a hurry.

"Yes, but it will be a few days." Liu Yu said thoughtfully, "Chang'an City is not peaceful yet. ”

Qi'er is very sensible and does not mention excessive extravagance, as long as she knows that Liu Yue wants to take her mother back to Chang'an City, it is enough.

Qi'er cleaned up her mood a little, and prepared to meet a few "heroes" who had to be seen, that is, the generals who made great contributions in this coup, Qi Fang, Hua Ji'an, Zhang Wuzhu, Huo Yuan, He Mao and others. In order to show the new emperor's reliance on these generals, not only was a seat given in the Yaqian Palace, but a banquet was also prepared in the palace to entertain them, and Liu Yu, Xu Xuanzhu and Qi'er will attend, in addition to these generals, there are also the right minister Han Sheng and Sui Yi Li Mi.

After meeting with the generals, in the interval of preparing for the banquet, Liu Yu had already made the decision on the appointment and dismissal of some important positions in Chang'an City, although it was not suitable for the civil officials to make a big move for the time being, but the military generals must be replaced by trusted generals as soon as possible, and the control of the imperial court should be given priority to the control of the army. Liu Yu handed over the list to Qi Fang and asked him to temporarily transfer these generals to various places, and before Chang'an City lifted martial law, all arrangements must come from Liu Yu's orders, which is also a mandatory requirement made by Liu Yu.

"Xianggong, I'm so tired." Qi'er stretched out, looked at Liu Yu and asked, "Can you eat?" After eating, Qi'er wanted to sleep, and it was on the side of Yingcui Palace, which was where Qi'er lived since she was a child. ”

When she learned that a lively family could live in the palace permanently, Qi'er immediately wanted to go back to her "home" to see, and after moving out of the palace, she thought about the home in the palace, as well as some familiar female officials in the palace, which were all memories that accompanied her growing up.

"Well, I'll go back later. Now there's one more person you have to meet. ”

In Qi'er's questioning gaze, Liu Yu asked the female official who was standing to go out to pass the word, and Sui Yu, the young eunuch of the Commerce and Trade Department who was waiting outside, called in.

Today's Sui Yu did not wear an official uniform, just an ordinary daughter's winter clothes, which looked a little thin and plain, and after walking in, she respectfully bowed to the new emperor and said goodbye. Because she often goes to Liu Yu's house as a guest, Qi'er has long been very familiar with her, and when she saw the windy and decent sister of the Sui family kneeling down for herself on weekdays, Qi'er immediately jumped down from the kang to help Sui Yu up, Sui Yu was flattered, and repeatedly avoided after standing up.

Qi'er glanced back at Liu Yu puzzled, she felt that being this emperor was simply terrible, everyone who saw her seemed to be very scared, only Liu Yu treated her as usual, and even Xu Xuanzhu had to salute when he saw her today, which was never done at home.

"Your Majesty, this is the tax list and income and expenditure records of the Department of Commerce and Trade in the past two months......"

Sui Yu is a good hand in managing accounts, although Chang'an City has not been peaceful recently, there are a lot of natural and man-made disasters, and the imperial court has been struggling to deal with it, constantly drawing materials from the Department of Commerce and Trade, but Sui Yu can still do everything with clear accounts, and even after the new emperor ascends the throne, she can still save some money from between her teeth to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. Now the imperial treasury is empty, and without the support of the Department of Commerce and Trade, the enthronement ceremony cannot be held normally.

Liu Yu stepped forward and held Qi'er's shoulders and stood side by side with her, and smiled at Sui Yu: "Young Eunuch Sui is really tired, this enthronement ceremony has to be raised by the Department of Commerce and Trade." If something is done, it should be remembered. ”

Sui Yu showed a hint of indifferent joy on her face and said: "General Liu is serious, this is the duty of the minister, and he should not be credited." For this enthronement ceremony, the Sui family, Chang'an City, and Guanzhong Liulian merchants should make great preparations, and His Majesty and General Liu do not need to worry. ”

In the past, the Sui family was just a mere family of merchants, and money could not buy status, just because the children of a later life had some friendship with Liu Yu, an official concubine, they could make the Sui family rise in the court. Now Liu Yu has leaned into the power of the government and the opposition, the emperor's husband, the only soldiers and horses in the world are transferred by him, and he is the uncrowned emperor. On behalf of the Sui family, Sui Yu expressed an attitude to Liu Yu that if he could help, the Sui family could go bankrupt, and the merchants of Chang'an City and Guanzhong were also very happy to do something for the imperial court, especially such a major event as the emperor's accession to the throne.

"There is Young Eunuch Lao Sui."

After Sui Yu came in to show her attitude, she was followed by the regular courtiers bowing to the Son of Heaven, Sui Yu also went out to call the deputy eunuchs who had been blowing the cold wind outside for an afternoon, these businessmen bought the deputy eunuchs with money, just to tie up with the imperial court, and now that the new Son of Heaven has ascended the throne, they all have a witness, and they all hate to donate less money, and they can't buy the position of the young eunuch.

After seeing these people, the sky gradually darkened, and Xu Xuanzhu, who had just gone to the women's military camp outside the city, brought Xu Caihua to the new emperor.

Xu Caihua belongs to the kind of headless and brainless, I heard that the delicate little sister princess of the Qianfeng General's Mansion became the emperor, and she jumped high, so she had to come to see it in person. Seeing Qi'er in a dragon robe, Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows and danced to grab Qi'er's hand, but was separated by Liu Yu, and Qi'er also sat back on the kang in fright.

"Your Majesty, don't be surprised, I'm just so happy." Xu Caihua didn't kneel down, and said with a big grin, "Don't worry, your business is my business, your emperor's position, whoever dares to move, I Xu Caihua will fight with him!" (To be continued......)
