The new emperor is about to officially ascend the throne, and the vassal kings will also be edicted to enter Chang'an City.

The situation in Chang'an is unclear, first the king of Huai said that he was sick, and then the king of Ding, the king of Jing and the king of Shu also said that they could not enter Beijing for different reasons.

The unification of the four feudal kings was all based on the prince of the world and entered Beijing to congratulate. On the one hand, he sent envoys to the new emperor to save face, and on the other hand, he was held hostage to the imperial court, with a kind of intimidation, his son had three long and two short in Chang'an City, and Lao Tzu could openly rebel.

In Liu Yu's view, the war to maintain the supremacy of imperial power will start sooner or later, and it is getting closer and closer.

On the afternoon of August 18, Qu Ning went to Xiangguo's Mansion by order, and after returning, he was summoned by the emperor to the Yaqian Hall for questioning, and Liu Yu also sat beside him.

"Yuan Xiang is in poor health, and he has to take care of the medicine he prescribes, and he is afraid that he will drop out of the dynasty for half a month." Qu Ning replied directly.

Liu Yu didn't expect Yuan Bolang to be really sick, to say that Qu Ning is also an upright woman, and her medical skills are also excellent, he used oranges to trick him but was sarcastically still fresh in his memory, thinking that Yuan Bolang would not be diagnosed as sick by her if he was not sick.

"I don't know what Yuan Xiang's illness is?" Liu Yu asked.

Qu Ning glared at Liu Yu, as if to say, "I think everyone is like you", but he said indifferently: "The old man is sick." ”

Talking about the old man's illness, it is still not sick and looking for a disease, lying on the bed and humming, saying that it is a disease. It's easy to pretend to be sick when you're old, and it's useless to have a pulse or something.

Su Yan looked at Liu Yu a little helplessly and said, "Commander Liu, you said that if there is no Yuan Xiang present, then the matter of setting up the left prime minister...... How is it good? ”

There is Qu Ning on the side. Even though Su Yan really wanted Liu Yu's help. Maintain the manners of a king. But his problems still exposed the problem of his lack of confidence in his heart.

"Then please ask the emperor to decree. It is set to agree on the establishment of the left minister tomorrow, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

Yuan Bolang couldn't come, Liu Yue felt that he couldn't stop, if the right minister was sick, the court would become infeasible, and it would inevitably seem that the court relied too much on the right minister. The emperor made his attitude clear, whether Yuan Bolang loves to come or not, anyway, it is a sure thing to set up the left minister.

Who knew that on the second day, the situation was still beyond Liu Yu's expectations. Not only Yuan Bolang dropped out of the dynasty due to illness. Many ministers also took sick leave, and some directly submitted their resignations. It was made clear that the civil officials would unite to rebel and not let Liu Yu stop.

Su Bi looked at the empty Liutai Yamen Chamber, glanced at Liu Yu and said, "Commander Liu, it seems that you have offended a lot of people. ”

"Really?" Liu Yu touched his nose, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness Xinzhujun, what is the first principle of the establishment of the court discussion system in the Dashun Dynasty?" ”

"Something must be discussed." Su Bi replied.

Liu Yu was aggressive: "Well, since there is something to discuss, should it be abolished because some courtiers are on leave?" ”

Su Bi knew in her heart that Liu Yue wanted to achieve some of his goals without going through the court, but she still couldn't say anything against it: "Then let's start a discussion." ”

Yuan Bolang and a group of supporters took leave. Things have become much simpler, and there is no need for Su Yan to say anything. As long as Liu Yu alone can finish all the content at once, there is no opposition, the meeting room is in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere, and the establishment of the left minister will reach a "consensus" in such a relaxed environment-

Blue and re-enabled, directly to the left phase. The composition of the auxiliary officials under the left minister will be submitted by Lan He himself.

Originally, the imperial court was afraid that the faction would be different from the party, but now Liu Yu added fuel to the fire, allowing the courtiers to form a party with each other to attack each other. With the revival of the original Xu Han and his party, the neutral forces in the imperial court have to find backers to avoid trouble, and the civil and official structure of the imperial court will become more distinct.

As soon as the noon court meeting was successfully concluded at noon, several ministers attending the meeting walked out of the Liutai Yamen with a somewhat unbelievable wry smile on their faces. And Liu Yu was about to go to the Yaqian Hall to meet Lan He, who was waiting for news there, but Su Bi came over and directly blocked Liu Yu's way.

"What the hell do you mean?" Su Bi was very impulsive when she came up, and at the court meeting just now, she had tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and let Liu Yu sing a one-man show at the court meeting.

Now that the drama is over, and as an ally, Su Bi must also thoroughly understand Liu Yu's intentions.

Liu Yu smiled inexplicably and said, "His Royal Highness Xinzhujun, what does this mean?" Next...... I don't quite understand. ”

"Pretend to be stupid. Do you think that just by getting married to someone surnamed Sui and a person surnamed Lan, you can control Lan He and the like? Or do you think Lan He and others are capable ministers and righteous people of Kuangfu Sheji? Pushing Lan He out will only make Wenchen inseparable, and it will not benefit you and me or the imperial court. ”

Liu Yu smiled noncommittally, looked into the distance, and said: "I just want to remind His Royal Highness Xinzhujun that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the biggest enemy of you and me is not in Chang'an City, but in ......" He stopped halfway through the words.

Su Bi was slightly stunned and said, "You mean those vassal kings?" ”

Liu Yu still didn't answer Su Bi's question, and continued: "Now Chang'an City, it's roughly just a matter of maintaining a balance, under this balance, even if the officials scold each other in the court, or even start fighting, as long as it doesn't spread beyond the palace walls, it will not be harmful to you and me." And when they have hostile targets, they will focus more on court battles, and you and I will be less attacked. ”

Liu Yu took out a notebook from his arms as he spoke, handed it to Su Bi and said, "Otherwise, the above things will become true sooner or later." ”

"What is this?"

"His Royal Highness Xinzhujun will know the Tao when he sees it."

Su Bi opened the transcript curiously, and it turned out to be a transcript by Yuan Bolang, which stated the necessity of taking the heirs of the former emperor into vassals. To put it bluntly, it is to let Su Yan's brothers and sisters go to their respective fiefdoms and not continue to stay in Chang'an City, and Su Bi is also one of the people involved.

"This dead old man's intentions are really vicious. It's etiquette again, it's the code again, and after saying so many heavenly words, after all, it's not that you want to drive the palace out of Chang'an City!? Su Bi was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the first place, so he gritted his teeth and read it, and he didn't show any mercy to Yuan Bolang in his tone, and threw the notebook to Liu Yu, "You're right, if you don't give these Wenchen people who are grouty in their brains something to do, he will think about how to play tricks against you and me!" ”

Originally, Su Bi was still dissatisfied with the establishment of the left minister, but after reading Yuan Bolang's recital, her attitude completely changed. For Su Bi, even if she was not the one who became the emperor, she never thought of leaving Chang'an City to go to her fiefdom. That is tantamount to completely controlling your own destiny in the hands of others.

After getting rid of Su Bi's side, all that remains is to let Lan He regain his power in the court faster.

It has been a few months since Xu Han's downfall, and during this time, the civil and official structure of Chang'an City has undergone fundamental changes, and only the left minister and a few of his staff ministers have not reached the point where they can compete with the right minister. This requires Liu Yu to be the pusher in the back.

In the Yaqian Palace, Lan He was respectful and submissive to the new emperor, after all, it was a great grace for the new emperor to reactivate him, a dying old minister, and in his attitude towards the new emperor, he must be completely loyal. As for Lan He's true thoughts in his heart, Liu Yu couldn't guess it, and he didn't need to pay attention to it.

Su Yan This is also the first time to use such a high-ranking minister, and he doesn't understand many links, and some words of encouragement still need Liu Yu to say a few words on behalf of the Son of Heaven. And the several important deputies mentioned by Lan He are basically from the previous right minister Xu Han's faction, but two people are added, one is Li Yannian, Li Sha'er's father, and the other is Sui Yi, the Lan family's Chenglong fast son-in-law.

This is Lan He's proposed candidate, and it is not confirmed. Sui Yi's side Liu Yu will definitely not let him go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion Yin's official rank seems to be low, and it does not involve the core of power, but Liu Yu needs someone to control the situation and law and order in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion Yin and the commander of the Yamen of the General Defense Department are important chess pieces that Liu Yu has placed in the administration and defense of Chang'an City, and they can't move anything.

As for Li Yannian, although he is already Liu Yu's father-in-law in name, this old father-in-law is obviously doing everything for the revival of the family, and even wants to use his daughter in exchange. Before, he couldn't cling to the right minister, and now he is clinging to the left, he can't even take care of the basic principles, Lan He will mention this idle official-like waiter in the selection of people, mainly for Liu Yu's face, Li Yannian has already made his and Liu Yu's in-law relationship clear when he was clinging to Lan He.

"Lan Aiqing, then you go back and make a detailed list." Su Yan glanced at Liu Yu again as he spoke, "Tomorrow I will present this book." ”

Lan He knelt down respectfully and saluted, making the etiquette of a loyal minister very good. Su Yan hurriedly helped him up, said a lot of high-sounding words, and personally sent Lan He out of the door, which can be said to be quite face-saving. Lan He was grateful again.

Although Su Yan is just a novice, playing against an old actor or lacking in ability, but after all, he is the emperor, and he is the leader in this show of loyalty, as long as his attitude is clear, the drama is not so important.

"Master, it's a real headache to talk to this person. After talking for a long time, it was as if he hadn't said anything. ”

After sending Lan He away, Su Yan sat back on the kang and said helplessly.

"Slowly you get used to it, there are all kinds of people, and there are even more different courtiers. The old man belongs to the upright kind, and he is dead-headed. And this Lan He is particularly sleek, talking to people and talking to ghosts. He said that you only need to believe that one achievement is enough, especially if you are a sycophant, you will think that he is farting. ”

It was rare for Liu Yu to say something vulgar, and Su Yan grinned when he heard it.

After entertaining Lan He, Liu Yu was about to leave, Su Yan was a little speechless, but when he saw that Liu Yu was leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, that day...... The three concubines...... How to deal with it? ”

"The concubine is yours, and you still want to ask me?" Liu Yu pouted and said, "Look which one is good, if you want to get along, just find Gonggong Wu, and he will arrange it for you." (To be continued......)
