Chapter 440: The change is coming

Xiyan's treasures and national letters reflect Xiyan's state and Xiyan's overture to Dayong, which makes Emperor Jingxing feel relieved. 79 Readings. Read. net

Before this, he was really worried that Xiyan would attack, but who expected Xiyan to be a gift. The two countries maintained friendship and non-aggression, which was the situation that Emperor Jingxing wanted, and it seems that Emperor Sima Hao of Western Yan also thought so.

However, there were courtiers in the Xuanzheng Palace, which interrupted Emperor Jingxing's beautiful imagination.

"Your Majesty, Xiyan sent treasures and national letters at this time, which is clearly fraudulent. I'm afraid that Xiyan's move is to confuse our dynasty. ”

The one who said this was Xu Shenxing, the squire of the military department.

Speaking of which, Xu Shenxing is a lucky person among the courtiers of Dayong, and he caught up with the good time. In recent years, the chief officer of the military department has been frequently replaced, and the adjutant has also been promoted repeatedly.

From the fifth military department to the fourth military department, the official was promoted to the fourth rank, Xu Shenxing only took eight years, this speed, which made the court officials staggered - the key is that there is no big clan behind him.

Xu Shenxing was familiar with military books and saw Xiyan's movements very clearly. After Dayong was on guard, Xiyan sent a generous gift, which was obviously an ulterior motive. The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and what he is worried about is that Xiyan deliberately shows goodwill, which makes Dayong relax.

As a squire of the military department, of course, he had to make a speech to remind the emperor and courtiers of this.

Emperor Jingxing listened to Xu Shenxing's words, and did not comply or object, but only said something like this: "Aiqing is reasonable." The rest of the courtiers can be enlightened if they have a book, and they will retreat if they have no book. ”

Emperor Jingxing did not express his position directly, but the courtiers already knew his state: the emperor didn't want to hear these discordant voices.

The emperor didn't want to hear it. Of course, the court officials stopped talking. Disobedience to the will of the people, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the court officials do not want to do it.

As for Xu Shenxing and other courtiers who can understand it. After retiring from the dynasty, he made a warning speech to Emperor Jingxing, which is another matter.

At this moment, above the court, the matter of Xiyan's intentions was skipped like this.

Emperor Jingxing's mind was very simple, Xiyan's congratulatory gifts were received, Xiningwei's vigilance was as usual, and there was no such thing as laxity or not. As for the Jingzhao Imperial Hall, here. There is no need to dwell on this matter, just focus on the rest of the political affairs.

For the rest of the political affairs, the most important thing is to change the Yuan Ceremony. When Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne. It has been decided to change the yuan on the first day of the first month of next year, and it is already December, and the time is coming.

This is the first era name after Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne, after the change of Yuan. Dayong is called Jingxing Year. It is a sign that Daeyong has officially entered the generation under his control. This name will spread all over the people and circulate in history books, and its significance is extraordinary.

In Emperor Jingxing's mind, the matter of Dayong's change of Yuan is extremely important.

There was also the drought in Hanoi Province and the situation in Xiyan before, and his mind was not as good as changing the yuan. Now that the dust has settled, Hanoi Province has been calmed. Xiyan has shown goodwill, and the world is peaceful. At the moment, the court is the most important. It's a matter of changing the yuan.

"The Book of Rites, how are the preparations for the Yuan Reform Ceremony?" The court officials had nothing to play, so Emperor Jingxing personally named them.

Hearing Emperor Jingxing's inquiry, Wei Jinying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "If you return to the emperor, the preparations for the Yuan Reform Ceremony have come to an end. Hanyuan Hall has been newly decorated, the grand ceremony notes have been drawn up, and everything is in the process of being completed......"

Wei Jin made a series of speeches and brought together the preparations for the Yuan Reform Ceremony.

After the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Jingxing, the leisurely days of Wei and Jin did not last long, and after the autumn, the Ministry of Rites was extremely busy, and it was busy with the Yuan Reform Ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites first joined forces with the officials of the Ministry of Industry to renovate the Hanyuan Hall in accordance with the requirements of the etiquette system; Then he discussed the ritual notes with the officials of Changji Temple and drew up the process of the ceremony; In the middle, they also have to get the money prepared from the officials of the household department, and they also have to supervise the young government supervisors to make the special use of the yuan reform......

Such many and important things have tired Wei Jin and the officials of the household department enough, and there are also worries about whether there is a mistake in it!

Emperor Changtai only used the name "Changtai", so the last time Dayong changed the yuan was forty years ago. After a few decades, there is another ceremony to change the yuan, and the officials are staring at this ceremony, Wei Jin is really afraid that there will be problems.

"I am very relieved! I am very relieved! This matter is of great importance to the Ministry of Rites, and all officials should do their best to cooperate and assist the Ministry of Rites. After listening to Wei Jin's report, Emperor Jingxing nodded and said with satisfaction.

After listening to Emperor Jingxing's words, the court officials looked at Wei Jin with a little more eagerness.

They are not eager for the ceremony, they are for the aftermath of the ceremony.

The so-called courtiers in one day, after the change of the Yuan ceremony, it is the adjustment of the official position, which is related to the life of the court officials, how can they not be eager?

For Shen Huashan, the most direct impact of this Yuan Reform Ceremony is that he is leaving Hanoi Province and returning to Jingzhao.

Emperor Jingxing's will has been sent to Zhengzhou, Hanoi Province, so that Shen Huashan will return to Jingzhao before the Chinese New Year, what is this for, of course Shen Huashan knows.

After the Yuan Reform Ceremony, above the court, there were officials of the Jingxing Dynasty. The first four secretaries of the Changtai Dynasty are all about to retreat, Wei Jingyao and Xiao Houren and others are Zhishi, and those who can be connected are Shen Huashan and Zuo Liangzhe and others.

Emperor Jingxing summoned him back to Jingzhao in order for him to take over the post of Zhongshu Ling.

After receiving this will, Shen Huashan's mood was quite complicated. This will is still coming, and summoning him back to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the order, presumably the emperor must be unhappy in his heart, right?

Since he served as a Zhongshu Shilang, his official rank has been increasing, but his official position has not changed. The reason is simple, he is the next candidate for Zhongshu Ling.

Emperor Changtai kept him for Emperor Jingxing, and the Shen family was the whetstone prepared by Emperor Changtai for Emperor Jingxing. At the beginning, Emperor Jingxing thought the same.

It was only later, as the power of the Shen family became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more differences between the Shen family and Emperor Jingxing, the Shen family changed from a whetstone to a sharp blade, and it was also a sharp blade that Emperor Jingxing did not use well.

Blades that are not used well, of course, should be discarded. Therefore, Emperor Jingxing was reluctant to let Shen Huashan serve as the secretary of the Zhongshu Order, lest the Shen family become more and more prosperous. But he found out. Except for Shen Huashan, there is no Chinese book in the DPRK and China to choose from!

Shen Huashan supported Emperor Jingxing to ascend to the throne and had the merit of following the dragon. and has the merit of quelling chaos; He also served in the Zhongshu Province and was familiar with the operation and affairs of the Zhongshu Province; is still the patriarch of the Wu Yue Shen family, and he has a good relationship with officials in the DPRK and China. Whether it is in terms of merit, official history, fame, etc., no one can compare to him!

Zhongshu Ling is the first person of Dayong courtiers, and how important his status is, what he wants is to surpass the merits, official qualifications and fame of the ministers, so that he can lead the officials to smooth the political affairs. Abandon Shen Huashan and appoint others. How to convince the public?

With Shen Huashan as the Chinese book order, it is not that Emperor Jingxing is willing to do it, but he has to do it!

No, Shen Huashan's position is like this. Even Zuo Liangzhe, the position of the servant of the disciple, is the same.

Would Emperor Jingxing be willing to let his relatives serve as important ministers? Of course not! Especially the Zuo family is also involved in the rumors of Chonghua Palace, ginseng soup and short pine, Emperor Jingxing is very wary of the Zuo family, how can he be willing to Zuo Liangzhe to take this important position?

An official that Emperor Jingxing did not want to appoint. But he had to be appointed. This is the embarrassment of the Jingxing Emperor's power. There is such an embarrassment because his influence in the court is weak.

From being established to ascending the throne as emperor, Emperor Jingxing had a short time, only more than a year. Over the past year or so, he not only failed to get in touch with the ministers of the DPRK and China, but instead made the original ministers centrifuged.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Jingxing has no power of his own at all in the court. The decree does not come out of the Zichen Palace. The lord is weak and the minister is strong, of course it will be.

For the monarch. When balancing the forces in the DPRK and China, Emperor Changtai was not wrong to teach Emperor Jingxing like this. But the premise is that the prestige and strength of the monarch are strong enough to firmly suppress the power of any courtier, and what Emperor Jingxing lacks is precisely this.

This is not anyone's fault, but this is the reality of the Dayong Court, and perhaps one of the reasons for the collapse of the Dayong Court.

Regardless of whether Emperor Jingxing is happy or not, the candidates for the top four secretaries of Dayong have all been decided.

Therefore, there is this will that Shen Huashan received.

"I'm also going back to Jingzhao, but fortunately, the situation here in Hanoi Road has calmed down, and I can go with peace of mind......

Shen Huashan said to himself, let go of Emperor Jingxing's will, and prepared to hand over political affairs with the Hanoi Provincial Observer.

The official Hanoi Provincial Observer has already decided on the candidate and will arrive in Hanoi Province in a few days. This person is well known to Shen Huashan, and he also had a handover with Shen Huashan back then.

The person who took up the post of Hanoi Provincial Observer was none other than Fan Zaichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry controls water and drought, and now in the situation of Hanoi Province, Fan Zaichang has taken up this position, which is appropriate.

When Fan Zai often saw Shen Huashan, his expression was depressed. It is a joy to be promoted from the Zhengshang Book to the Second Observer. The higher the official position, the less room for promotion, the greater the difficulty, how many officials are there in Dayong?

If it was in the past, Fan Zai would have laughed so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

But now, Hanoi Road is a hot potato, and Fan Zaichang doesn't want to take it! Turmoil, drought, corruption, food and money, none of these are simple things. As soon as he thought of this, Fan Zaichang felt that his head was big.

"Brother Fan, don't be so worried. The people's hearts in Hanoi Province have gradually stabilized, and the officialdom structure in Zhengzhou has been reorganized. The grain and wealth of Qianqiu Qianzhuang will continue to be transported to help the Hanoi Taoist family tide over the difficulties. ”

Shen Huashan said with a smile, carefully explaining the situation in Hanoi Province.

The political situation in Hanoi Province is difficult and the tasks are arduous, but Fan Zaichang is a veteran of officialdom, and it is expected that this road will be managed well and Hanoi Province will be more stable.

"If Brother Fan calms down the side of Hanoi Province and leads the Hanoi Province through the drought, this will be a great achievement. The surname must be felt, and the emperor must also know. ”

Shen Huashan's meaning is very clear, it is not easy to do it in Hanoi, but Fan Zaichang has rectified it here, so it is very easy to get promoted and promoted.

From the second observation to make the official position higher, what is it? That's the former Siqing of Dayong! To be the first four kings of Dayong, how can you do it without great merit? Like Bian Zhihe, who relied on Concubine Mu to ascend to the throne, after all, he was a minority.

Shen Huashan's words made most of Fan Zaichang's depression disappear. He's already in Hanoi, what else can he do? For the sake of the former four secretaries, we must govern this way! (To be continued.) )
