When the new monarch succeeded to the throne, he routinely took measures of grace, on the one hand, he granted amnesty to the world and released some criminals who had committed less serious crimes back home; On the other hand, it is the grace of the courtiers. According to the agreement secretly reached with the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, the day after the new monarch succeeded to the throne, that is, under the leadership of Han Fei, in the name of the little emperor, the father of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace was crowned as the Marquis of Zhongxin.

After the edict of the little emperor amnesty for the world was promulgated, Han Fei also took the opportunity to pardon Jia Yu's punishment and released him from exile. However, it is impossible to return the title to him. Han Fei did this, mainly because of Mother Jia, the old lady's health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid there will be a few years to live, he doesn't want the old lady to miss her son and hurt her body.

The new monarch succeeded to the throne, and the next main task was to mourn the first emperor, and now that the weather is hot, it is not possible for the first emperor's coffin to be placed in the palace for a long time. The empress dowager and the auxiliary ministers of the two palaces discussed and buried the first emperor next to the mausoleum of the emperor, which was to say that the first emperor and the emperor had a good relationship, and let the first emperor accompany the emperor, in fact, the time was urgent, so as to rely on the mausoleum of the emperor and build the mausoleum of the emperor as soon as possible.

The imperial court requisitioned 100,000 migrant workers, Han Fei used the tiger charm to mobilize 50,000 troops, and the 150,000 military-civilian joint construction team rushed to work day and night, consuming a large amount of cement, steel, yellow sand and stones, and finally built the underground project within a month.

Emperor Daxing was mourned, the capital was full of plain white, and the people, whether it was true or not, all bowed to the roadside and cried goodbye. The sealing of the imperial tomb indicates the complete end of an era, and is the new era of Dahua stable?

The new emperor is young and ignorant, the empress dowager of the two palaces has no experience in governance, and the fate of Dahua is completely in the hands of the four auxiliary ministers. Ordinary people don't care about it, but what about the elite? There is no doubt that the Jia family, the Han family, the Du family, the Wang family, and the Jiang family will become the most powerful families in the new dynasty, and do other families have the ambition to compete?

At least the court has returned to normalcy on the surface, officials at all levels are doing things step by step, what they did before and what they continue to do, the cabinet is still the previous cabinet, and the four auxiliary ministers of the two palaces have no intention of removing officials for the time being.

Han Fei is not a member of the cabinet, and he continues to work in the imperial study, he used to assist the emperor in sorting out the review and review in the side hall of the imperial study, and now it has officially become his duty room. The recital received by the General Administration Department was first sent to the cabinet for preliminary review, and then sent to the imperial study as usual, where Han Fei reviewed it, or decided or convened the auxiliary ministers to discuss it or sent it to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces for adjudication. In other words, Han Fei became the general convener of the auxiliary ministers, and partly acted as the emperor.

Although Han Fei is very young, he is the sister-in-law of the first emperor, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, the uncle of the little emperor, the loyal prince of the dynasty, and the edict of the first emperor to give the Son of Heaven sword and various privileges, his status is indisputable, above ten thousand people under one person. It is also equivalent to saying that he does not have the title of prime minister, but he has the real power of prime minister.

Perhaps, the first emperor did not let Han Fei enter the cabinet, and had the intention of letting him and the cabinet restrain each other, but unfortunately he ignored the three auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, one was his father-in-law, one was his concubine's uncle, and the other was his ally, and the cabinet had no possibility of restraining Han Fei at all.

The biggest change in the court is the early dynasty time, the little emperor is young and needs to rest, the queen mother of the two palaces and the four auxiliary ministers jointly agreed to cancel the daily court meeting, change to a court meeting every five days, and the time is also postponed to the beginning of the hour. During the court meeting, the little emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the queen mother of the two palaces sat behind the side, separated by a hanging curtain. During the period when there was no court meeting, the minister had something to do, and sent the recital to the General Administration Department or the Cabinet, the secret fold or urgent delivery to the imperial study, and the evening could be directly sent to the Chungkook Mansion to Han Fei.

The court calmed down, and some people remembered that the demon girl who confused the first emperor seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and some people wanted to know the result of Han Fei's fight with the demon girl at that time, but Han Fei didn't mention it, and no one dared to ask in detail. In fact, after the woman in the palace costume was completely conquered by Han Fei, she had taken advantage of the chaos to send her out of the palace and secretly sent her to Furong Nunnery in the western suburbs, where she lived with Han Fei's mother Han Yun and the little nun Jingxian.

"Zhongguo Gong, the old slave got a pot of good tea, can you taste it?"

Huang Ye used to rely on his identity as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, and Han Fei could basically sit on an equal footing, but now, if Han Fei wanted to kill him, it was almost like stepping on an ant, and he also consciously lowered his position.

"Father-in-law Huang, we have been friends for many years, aren't you scolding me for not being a friend enough when you are so humble?" Han Fei scolded with a smile, picked up the tea leaves brought by Huang Ye, opened them and smelled them, and said, "It is indeed good tea, make a cup and try it!" ”

"Zhongguo Gong, you continue to review the folds, just leave the trivial matters of making tea to our family!" Huang Ye was both happy and moved when he heard that Han Fei regarded him as a friend.

Han Fei looked at the busy Huang Ye, and suddenly said, "Father-in-law Huang, your godson was sent by this seat to supervise the imperial mausoleum, he has a lot of complaints, right?" ”

"Grandpa, that rabbit cub is an understanding person, and he knows that Grandpa is training him!"

"Well, it's good to understand, if you want to have a big career in the palace in the future, you can't rely on relationships alone, you have to have actual ability......"

At this time, Jiang Feng hurriedly walked into the imperial study with a book of excerpts and said, "Loyal to the country, Ding Lei has asked for more military supplies!" ”

Han Fei took it and looked at it, laughed angrily, threw it on the bookcase, and shouted: "What a thing that doesn't know life and death, he really dares to open his mouth, so many military supplies are enough to equip 100,000 troops!" Jiang Xianggong, what do you think of the cabinet ministers? ”

Jiang Feng sat down on the stool brought by a little eunuch and said, "The cabinet thinks that Ding Lei is deliberately testing the imperial court!" ”

"Not bad!" Han Fei said in a deep voice: "Ding Lei is a thorn stuck in the throat of the imperial court, it's time to consider pulling it out!" This excerpt, whether the court is allowed or not, is not appropriate, so let's stay in the middle and send a decree to him, saying that the amount of military supplies he requested is too large, and order him to return to Beijing to report on his work and explain the reason for the demand! ”

"The loyal prince is a good plan, and the court can also test his intentions!"

On the morning of the third day, Jiang Feng once again took a book of notebooks and came to the imperial study, saying: "Zhongguo Gong, Ding Lei replied, saying that he was too sick to go to Beijing to report on his work!" ”

"Call yourself sick? Hmph, it means that he has a ghost in his heart! Han Fei sneered: "Isn't he seriously ill, that's good, the imperial court will order him to hand over his military power, return to Beijing to recuperate, and send another general to take over on the grounds that the defense of the Hetao area and Datong Mansion is related to the safety of the capital, and there must be no commander general to preside over the daily affairs!" ”

Jiang Feng said worriedly: "Zhongguo Gong, in this way, I'm afraid Ding Lei will rebel!" ”

"If he honestly surrenders his military power and returns to Beijing to recuperate, he can still end a good death; If you want to raise troops, hum, the day of the clan punishment is not far away, just to calculate the old account of the first emperor's secret calculation! ”
