"Up"

Gonggong Song completed the last step of the edict, and when everyone got up, Song Gao gestured to Xue's chin, and then left the Taiji Palace.

Xue Zhan walked to the dragon chair in the high hall, her hand slowly stroked the dragon-shaped armrest, only to feel that the golden dragon at this moment seemed to be less piercing, turned around, and sat down solemnly.

Jiang Shangyi and Cao Bairen were lined up on both sides of the high hall, saluting early, seeing the emperor, and the ministers knelt down.

"The emperor has arrived," Cao Bairen called.

The ministers knelt down again, this time in front of "Sima Ji", the new emperor.

A trace of unknown ruthlessness flashed in Sima Lie's eyes, and he fixed his eyes on the snow, thinking that this is to fight a protracted war with me? Okay, I'll play with you.

"Zhongqing is flat" Xue couldn't help but glance at Grandpa Jiang after speaking, and Grandpa Jiang secretly winked at her, signaling that she was doing a good job.

Lying down, everyone has already performed their positions according to their official ranks, Sima Lie and Sima Ling, the heads of the ministers, everyone has a solemn face, and Xun Ting, who has no official position, is standing aside, looking leisurely and complacent.

Xue's first will was to give Xun Ting an official position.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xun Ting is ordered by the Queen Mother to participate in the government as an auxiliary minister, but he can't stand next to him every time...... Can the Ministry of Officials be in the book? ”

Du Yu immediately leaned over and arched his hand: "Du Yu, the secretary of the ministry, see the emperor." ”

"Lord Du, I remember when I was a child in the palace to learn control, the master handed over, and the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, so may I ask Lord Du, what official position should Xun Ting award."

"Back to Your Majesty, in all dynasties, it is the current official who has served as the auxiliary minister, and this situation ...... Lord Xun" Du Yu didn't finish his words, he glanced at Xue hesitantly.

In fact, the right of the Ministry of Officials to appoint and dismiss officials is now in the hands of Sima Lie, Du Yu can only do something to sort out the information of officials, Du Yu will push back the decision power again, one is jealous of Sima Lie's rights, and the other is also because, now he is a fourth-order official, how can he talk about the position of the original third-order high-ranking official.

Shen Xing had told Xue before, Du Yu was as careful as a hair, seeing that he was half-pushed and half-done here, Xue could be regarded as having seen it, however, Xue had just sat on the dragon chair, and naturally she couldn't leave behind a reputation for authoritarianism, Shen Xing had taught her.

At this time, we should learn from others.

"Historian, is the historian there?"

As soon as Xue's words fell, I saw a figure behind him hurriedly stepped forward, knelt in front of the hall with a "poof", and shouted loudly:

"The minister is here!"

"Lift up your head and let me see."

I saw that the man slowly raised his head, Xue couldn't help but light up, it was actually a young man, white skin and fine eyes, clear eyebrows, and the rank of the historian was extremely low, it could be seen from the position where he was standing, maybe it was the first time to face the saint, Xue saw that the person looked panicked, and couldn't help but feel that this person was a frank person, different from the previous old ministers with ghosts.

"What's your name?" Snow asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the official's name is Lu Yizhi." The man replied, and one of the ministers turned pale when he heard this, and that person was Lu Zhong, but Xue did not find out.

"Then tell me what the previous auxiliary ministers were."

"Back to Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, only Emperor Tai, that is, your father, has appointed an auxiliary minister......"

Lu Yizhi's voice became smaller unconsciously, and Xue was a little puzzled:

"You go on."

"Yes, there are four auxiliary ministers, namely two vassal kings and two ministers, Shang Shuling and Zhongshu Supervisor."

In Dayu, the officials are divided into nine orders, the first order is the imperial family, the second order is the honorable title of the "Nine Princes", and the third order is the important ministers such as Shangshuling and Zhongshujian.

Snow nodded and muttered:

"The vassal king is the prince of Lie and the prince, and the middle secretary is Lord Zuo, so the ...... of Shang Shuling" Xue suddenly asked from the court: "Who is Shang Shuling today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the position of Shangshu Ling is vacant today, and the Shangshu servant will take the position of Shangshu Ling for the time being." Du Yu replied.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Zhi, Li Zhi's face was embarrassed, he probably guessed what was going to happen next. Snow also looked at him and said:

"Lord Li, if you give this position of Shangshu Ling to Lord Xun, do you have a discussion?"

This trick was also taught to her by Shen Xing, called the sixth plan to attack the east and the west, ostensibly claiming to attack the east, but in fact attacking the west. Xue pretended to ask Li Zhi what he meant, but in fact, he asked him to hand over the palm print with his own hands.

Li Zhi threw a look at Sima Lie for help, but what could Sima Lie do at the moment, he frowned, closed his eyes and shook his head, Li Zhi was helpless, took a step forward, and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, the lower official is to act on his behalf, when Lord Xun was an official, he was deeply appreciated by the Emperor, and he must be a suitable candidate."

Xue nodded with satisfaction, looked at the others in the court, and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?" Everyone was silent, Xue turned her head, looked at Xun Ting, who was complacent, and said:

"Lord Xun, then I will grant you the position of Shangshuling, and when you go to the next court, you will go back to Shangshutai with Master Li and become familiar with everything."

When Xun Ting heard this, his expression changed, and he strode solemnly to the center of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed to Xue, and shouted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This first thing was successfully completed, Xue also breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Lu Yizhi who was kneeling below, and asked him with a plan:

"Lu Yizhi, tell me, what does the new emperor have to do when he ascends the throne?"

Lu Yizhi's body was shocked, and he arched his hand and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the palace officials will hold an enthronement ceremony for Your Majesty on a certain day, and at the same time, they will post notices to all princes, counties, counties, and towns to announce the world, and at the same time, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will give amnesty to the world, or reduce taxes, so that the people can feel the emperor's grace."

Xue nodded, and then said, "Then who should be sent to do these things?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Da Honglu is in charge of the ceremony, responsible for the enthronement ceremony, and announcing to the world, but due to years of war, no one is in this position for the time being. The responsibility of amnesty for the world should be drawn up by the Shangshutai Palace, and submitted to His Highness for approval, and the reduction of taxes should be supported by the Shangshutai Degree, supplemented by Tian Cao, and the two ministries should be completed together. Du Yu replied one by one.

"The three Shangshu lords of the palace, Duzhi, and Tian Cao that Master Du mentioned just now are there?"

Lu Zhong, Cui Xun, and Zheng Li came out of the queue when they heard the sound and walked to the front.

"Can the three adults finish this?"

Lu Zhong and Cui Xun nodded one after another, but Zheng Li made a difficulty, hesitated again and again, knelt in front of Xue and said:

"Back to His Royal Highness, under is Tian Cao Shangshu Zheng Li, because the autumn harvest is approaching recently, Tian Cao's people have been sent out to harvest grain, so I'm afraid it will be ...... for a while."

Xue frowned slightly, but in fact, he knew it like a mirror in his heart, looking at it, the courtiers in the court, Wuyang Wuyang, but in fact, due to the election system of electing officials, coupled with Sima Lie's cultivation of party henchmen, on the surface, it is said that it is based on personal character, and the family background is supplemented to determine the grade, but in fact, it has become a tool for the family to consolidate its political power and raise a group of idlers.

This is the second thing Xue wants to do, the newly elected official.
