Chapter 642: The Inner Court Interferes in Politics

At the court meeting, Liu Yu not only sent officials from the six ministries to the localities, but also issued orders on the handling of some riots. If there is a crowd in the local area to make trouble, the offender can be directly beheaded without going through the yamen, but the crime is not more than three people, that is, no more than three people can be beheaded at a time, and if the situation is no longer controllable, it can be dispersed by force.

Liu Yu is also afraid that giving the local yamen the power to cut first and then play will lead to the expansion of the power of the local yamen, and sometimes it is not the people who want to rebel, but the officials who force the people to rebel. Most of the people are just conforming to the herd mentality, not to be the enemy of the imperial court, and to make enemies with the people, which is very detrimental to the stability of the local area, and indirectly, it also makes the imperial court even more unable to eliminate the Three Puritans.

When the court meeting was dispersed, Liu Yu and Qi'er returned to the Yaqian Hall together, and Han Sheng came over with Sui Yu to ask for a meeting. Nominally, Han Sheng came over this time to discuss the matter of Shang Shutai taking over the affairs of the six ministries, but Han Sheng finally tactfully expressed that it was inappropriate for Liu Yu to send officials from the six ministries to the local area, which would make the government affairs of the imperial court somewhat wasted.

Han Sheng said: "With just a few people like Shangshutai, how can they take care of so many affairs? ”

Han Sheng said that he was complaining, but in fact, he was also persuading Liu Yu in disguise. However, Liu Yu had already made up his mind, and Han Sheng's persuasion would not have any effect. Liu Yu asked Sui Yu for what he meant, Sui Yu looked at Han Sheng, and only said that he would do his best.

Liu Yu had abolished the six yamen before, and advocated the establishment of Shangshutai, which had made the original bloated official system streamlined, and the affairs became more concise, which also made Shangshutai have a lot of affairs, because Shangshutai also had to take care of the affairs of the Commerce and Trade Division, and the manpower was small, and it was already very tired. This time, Liu Yu sent six subordinates to the locality. It is equivalent to temporarily removing the responsibilities of the six ministries in the imperial court. This made Shang Shutai's manpower even more strained.

"Brother Han. In this way, I will first transfer Liao Du Yushi to Shangshutai to help, during this time, I will handle official business in the Yaqian Palace, and transfer Sui Zhongshu Ling to come over to help, Miss Sui, are you okay? ”

Sui Yu looked at Liu Yu, and then at Han Sheng. shook his head, but he was also a little puzzled why Liu Yu wanted to temporarily seconded him to the palace.

"That's right." Liu Yu explained, "Shang Shutai, for the time being, I will be in charge of the affairs of the six ministries, and in terms of local government affairs, the book will be transferred to the palace, and I will ask His Majesty and Neiko to come over to help deal with it." Because His Majesty and Neiko are still novices, they need Sui Shangshu to enter the palace to help. ”

Han Sheng's face was very calm. But when he heard Liu Yu's words, he still felt that Liu Yu's decision was unusual.

Han Sheng said tentatively: "Little Brother Liu, do you know...... The Inner Court is not allowed to interfere in politics......"

Liu Yu smiled, he understood what Han Sheng meant. Han Sheng said that Liu Yu should not ask Xu Xuanzhu to help deal with the government, which is often the root cause of the chaos in the country.

Liu Yu smiled: "Brother Han seems to have forgotten, if you want to talk about the inner court, now I am the man behind the scenes of His Majesty, I am now on the stage, why can't the sisters under His Majesty?" ”

A wry smile appeared on Han Sheng's face, on this point, he knew that he couldn't explain it, and it was not easy to say. Liu Yu's style of acting is indeed a bit whimsical, and he can't control it if he wants to.

Han Sheng said: "But Mrs. Zun...... I'm afraid I don't have any experience in dealing with government affairs, and besides, Your Majesty is still young......"

"Brother Han, don't worry, I believe that Miss Sui will do a good job in this regard, and with her, she will definitely teach His Majesty and Neiko how to deal with some government affairs. No one is born an emperor, and His Majesty will have to be in charge of the government in the future, and the court also needs some trustworthy people to assist, in my opinion, there is no problem with this. ”

Han Sheng saw that persuasion was useless, so he stopped persuading, anyway, in his opinion, it was not too much of a problem for Liu Yu to advocate letting Qi'er and Xu Xuanzhu come out to help deal with court affairs for the time being. After all, Liu Yu is still in charge, and when it comes to major events, it is still Liu Yu who makes the decision.

Han Sheng explained the matter and was about to leave, when Liu Yu suddenly took out a notebook and said, "Brother Han, look at this." ”

Han Sheng took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and on the side, Liu Yu also explained: "Originally, at the court meeting today, I wanted to talk about it, but Liao Du Yushi pulled the topic away and didn't mention it. Brother Han take a look, does this proposal work? ”

Han Sheng looked at the content on the notebook, it was not written by others, but Liu Yu's own handwriting. This is a question about the feudal lands of the descendants of the Su family, and the feudal lands are reduced by dividing them, and they are decreasing from generation to generation. In Liu Yu's view, this is just an imitation of some of the terms of the "Tui En Order", but in Han Sheng's opinion, the content of the articles is very novel, but he is afraid that the following vassal kings and vassal lords will not be happy.

Liu Yu was in the last court meeting, although most of the vassal kings and vassal lords were released, but after all, Liangzi had already been married, and most of the vassal kings and vassal lords were under house arrest in Chang'an City, which had already made them quite prejudiced against the imperial court. Under such circumstances, the imposition of such a clause would only cause the vassal king and feudal lord to lose trust in the imperial court completely.

What Han Sheng was thinking about was how to resolve the relationship between the imperial court and the descendants of the Su family. But what Liu Yue thought about was how to resolve the influence of the descendants of the Su family on the government.

Han Sheng hesitated, "I'm afraid it's ...... It should not be submitted too early. ”

Liu Yu said: "I'll show it to Brother Han first, I just want to hear what you mean, if it's not feasible, then I won't say it." However, in the past two hundred years of the Shun Dynasty and the sixty years since the establishment of the country, the local vassal kings have threatened the imperial court's jurisdiction over the localities, and if they are not restricted as soon as possible, they will only make the world no longer have the land of the Son of Heaven, and the people of the four seas are all feudal lands. ”

Liu Yu deliberately said something very serious, but in fact, he was also explaining a problem to Han Sheng, that is, the necessity of the implementation of this "Tui En Order". Han Sheng sighed and said, "If it is to be implemented, it should be done sooner rather than later, so simply take advantage of the fact that the feudal lords are now in Chang'an City, and the power is weakened, and they will deal with it." However, it is better to wait until after the Puritanism has been quelled, and it is not too late at that time. ”

Liu Yu originally wanted to take the opportunity to put forward the Tui En Decree together with the purges of the Three Puritans. But Han Sheng's persuasion was tight, and Liu Yu didn't want to disobey his intentions, so he agreed.

After sending Han Sheng away, Liu Yu took Sui Yu and Qi'er back to the inner court and met Xu Xuanzhu, and at the same time, Liu Yu also conveyed his meaning to Xu Xuanzhu.

Since Xu Xuanzhu got married, he seemed to have nothing to do, and occasionally came out to practice swords at home, but after giving birth to a child, he had long been abandoned, and his body looked much richer.

Hearing what Liu Yu meant, Xu Xuanzhu was a little dazed at first, then looked at Sui Yu, and then asked Liu Yu: "Husband, is this ...... How? ”

Xu Xuanzhu obviously has little confidence in governing the country, and Liu Yu wants to push her out and put her in the important position of auxiliary minister, which makes her feel that she has some expectations, but also a little unconfident. I look forward to sharing the pressure on my husband's shoulders, so that I no longer feel so self-conscious, but I am not confident because I don't understand how to deal with government affairs.

"There is nothing difficult in dealing with state affairs, as long as we follow some principles, such as putting the people's livelihood first, etc., as long as we have an overall view, no one will fail to do this. Madam, you used to lead troops into battle and are familiar with the art of war, these are not difficult to learn, and there is an expert like Miss Sui to help you. ”

Sui Yu was praised by Liu Yu, her face was a little blushing, and she said: "What the prince said is very true, in fact, my sister is also learning and doing, and she will not be inferior to men in handling court affairs." My sister should have confidence in herself. ”

With Sui Yu's encouragement, Xu Xuanzhu mustered up the courage and said, "Then the concubine body just try." ”

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard Xu Xuanzhu's statement, as long as Xu Xuanzhu wanted to do it, these things could be done. He himself knows very well how capable his wife is, but after getting married, Xu Xuanzhu has been taking care of housework, so he looks more like a housewife, but the three-foot alley is obviously not Xu Xuanzhu's stage.

Liu Yu looked sideways at Qi'er, who was eating snacks, and said, "What about you?" ”

“…… I? Seeing that several people at the table were looking at her, Qi'er was silent for a moment before she asked in surprise, and soon she lowered her head and looked very cowardly, "Xianggong, can I not go?" ”

"Why?" Liu Yu asked with a straight face.

"If you go every day, you won't have time to play, Xianggong, you see how idle Yi'er and Ting'er are on weekdays, I still have to ...... Playing with Xiaoya, no ...... Not that much time. ”

Liu Yu couldn't help sighing, now Qi'er is obviously not ready to be an emperor, even let her go to the court on weekdays, or go to the Yaqian Palace to sit, she also feels that it is a burden, let alone let her deal with the government every day.

Liu Yu insisted: "Your sister will go, if you don't go, you can't do it, you are the emperor, and you will have to manage the country in the future." You just think it's like this, you're playing at home, it's really not good, you let the little stutter go with you, let her be a female official, and when you're free, you can go out and play for a while. ”

When Qi'er heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Really? ”

Hearing that she could let Wu Shuo go to the Yaqian Hall with her, and let Wu Shuo play with her as a female official, Qi Erden was very excited.

"It's up to you. If you always remember to play, then I'll kick the little stutterer out of the palace and won't let her in again. ”

Qi'er hurriedly pulled Liu Yu's arm and begged: "I won't, I will learn to be an emperor in the future...... Uh-huh, good emperor. ”

Xu Xuanzhu and Qi'er both accepted it, which also put Liu Yu at ease. In the past, Liu Yu was alone in the court, and he always felt that there was a lack of helpers around him who could be absolutely trusted, but now with Xu Xuanzhu, Qi'er, and Sui Yu to help, Liu Yu immediately had three more arms, and the pressure on his heart would be reduced.

Liu Yu told Sui Yu about the place and time to deal with the government again, and asked her to go back and prepare, in the next period of time, until the officials of the six ministries returned to Chang'an City, Sui Yu would always live in the palace. Liu Yu also greeted this female guest to live in the palace with the highest specifications, and Liu Yu even thought that when the matter was over, he would no longer send her out, but directly handle the matter, and let her be her own woman.
