Chapter 204: Killing the Thief (Part II)

In the early morning of the next day, a third of the hundred civil and military officials in the hall had been removed, and the others all knelt on the ground

"When the day is good, by the order of Zi Ming, Wei Xucheng and Qiu Feng are the big fangs of the country, bullying the king, forming a party for personal gain, and the community is not good, now only rely on the spirit of the ancestors and the ancestors, to eliminate it, to correct the country, this is the will of heaven, the imperial historian Zhu Xin is loyal to the country, Jin is the country, Zhou Yuanchang is brave and loyal, suitable for the post of Tai Lieutenant, Qin this!".

When Zhu Xin and Zhou Yuanchang heard this, they immediately kowtowed and thanked them, and said, "Thank you Shengen, the ministers will receive the order!" ”

The ministers below have undergone great changes, all of them are frightened, and they have no idea for a while, so they have to kneel down and say: "The ministers are ordered." ”

On the spot, someone in the court took out the clothes, gold seals, and swords of the captain and the prime minister, and the two immediately went to the side hall, changed their clothes, and after a while, they went to the court hall and saluted the king, and sat down on the seat of the three princes under the throne.

The so-called name is not right, and the words are not good, at this time, Zhu Xin got the prime minister, and suddenly the number of qi has a big weapon.

The prime minister, the important weapon of the country, the prime minister's house itself can set up a yamen, below there are long history, young history, levy, West Cao, East Cao, Cao Cao, Ji Cao, Yi Cao, Si Zhi, command hundreds of officials, high power, even the king can not disrespect three points, in the court, there are also seats, this is sitting and discussing.

The prime minister's major affairs in the imperial court, Jiuqing are under his jurisdiction, and he has the power to examine, depose, and reward local officials, and even has the right to dispatch some local troops.

The prime minister paid 800 stones, with 100 taels of silver and 50 rolls of cloth.

Cui Guo's young Wang Shang (Cui Wang) saw it, and couldn't help but be shocked, he saw Zhu Xin, who had become the prime minister, with a white light on his face, although he was on top of it, but when he faced it, he was a little flustered, and he had a little suspicion and regret in his heart.

I saw Zhu Xin arching his hand and saying, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!" ”

King Cui calmed down and said, "What does Xiangguo want to play, just say it." ”

"Your Majesty, it is really a great fortune for the country to get rid of the two fangs today, but it is a great fortune for the country to return to the source, and the two thieves can make this mess, it is really the reason why the court cannot be ownerless!" Zhu Xin said respectfully.

King Cui couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that he wanted to govern himself in advance, but the following words suddenly made him feel cold, and he only heard Zhu Xin say: "However, the law of the ancestors and the ancestors, the king must be twenty years old before he can pro-government, this law cannot be violated, such as the law of the ancestors can be changed, what can not be changed?" ”

King Cui had to smile reluctantly and said, "Then according to Xiangguo, how is it good?" ”

"Since the king has not yet reached the age of pro-government, he can ask the queen mother to hang the curtain to come to the government, to decide the situation, and the ministers lead hundreds of officials, and respectfully ask for their lives, so that they can get the health of the society."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Dang, who was originally from the Zhu Party, immediately knelt down and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Taiwei Zhou Yuanchang, who was originally the elder brother of the Queen Mother, relied on the Queen Mother to get this position, and even stood up, pressed the sword and said: "Xiangguo is worthy of the head of a hundred officials, what he said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept fiercely over the ministers, and his faction immediately knelt forward: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

And some officials who watched the wind and leaned against the wall immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

There are also some neutrals, who think that it is also the same, the king is young, and the queen mother represents the royal family, which is also appropriate, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

In this way, all of a sudden, the top ten of the DPRK and the central government were all attached, and the other one-tenth of the people, forced by this situation, did not dare to be maverick and also seconded the proposal.

Seeing this, although King Cui tried his best to calm down, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hands and feet trembled.

His close ministers were secretly taken aback when they saw that the king's expression was different, so they hurriedly said: "Xiangguo, this is a major matter of the country, can you allow it to slow down a little and then make arguments?" ”

Zhu Xin bowed his hand respectfully, but said: "This matter is very important, how can we tolerate delay?" The officials are also here, so why delay? Please also ask the king to make a quick decision! ”

King Cui gritted his teeth, his eyes swept over the ministers, a few days ago he decided to kill the two thieves, but he didn't expect that as a king, not only did he not reap the benefits afterwards, but it made a party appear in the court - that day, the two parties could not hold each other, and he could still plan in it as a king.

Now, the prime minister and the captain have joined forces to form a party, and invited the queen mother, which is simply driving away the wolf and ushering in the tiger, and the young king who can't help but be dizzy for a while, but this situation does not allow him to delay, he glanced at Zhu Xin fiercely, and said: "What Xiangguo said is very true, I am still young, and I should entrust the court and Xiangguo and the queen mother!" ”

"The ministers are edicted, please ask the Queen Mother to hang the curtain!" Zhu Xin immediately bowed down, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he immediately sent someone to inform the Queen Mother and come out to decide the matter.

Several ministers, seeing this situation, stood solemnly, pondered silently, and did not say a word for a long time, Zhu Xin was calm, everything was in his calculations, and he had won the battle!

If it is the king, it has the greatest legitimacy, and it is extremely unfavorable for the Xiangguo to seize power, for example, the previous Xiangguo and Taiwei, who said to kill and kill, although there is a lot of trouble afterwards, but after all, it is an afterthought.

Xiangguo is in power again, after all, he is controlled by others, which is a helpless thing.

However, subject to others, you must also choose a suitable "person", the Queen Mother can represent the royal family, but after all, the Queen Mother and the royal family are different, especially the Queen Mother's relatives.

The legitimacy of the Queen Mother is based on the royal family, and she does not have the real sense of life and death, if you want to control the government, you must also cooperate with some ministers, in this case, why not ask for some power, and form an alliance of interests with the Queen Mother?

If Zhu Xin wants to monopolize the government, it will form a sharp conflict with the Queen Mother, but if it is shared, it is a win-win situation, the court is full of families, and it is not easier to manipulate than the scattered sand after the Confucian dominance, the Queen Mother wants to kick out Zhu Xin to monopolize the government, and there can be some hope for more than ten years, and this may not be a blessing!

At this time, the sound of fine music outside, the guard eunuch held the honor guard in the lead, and appeared in the palace, and a eunuch stepped forward quickly and shouted: "The queen mother has arrived!" ”

"Welcome to the Queen Mother, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" The ministers bowed down to greet them together.

The queen mother was majestic, and nodded to this group of ministers with a smile, at this time, King Cui also had to greet him, at this time in the court, he was the king, and he did not need to bow to the queen mother, but he also had to salute.

Zhu Xin saw that the mother and son had already met the courtesy, so he said loudly: "Please ask the Queen Mother to hang the curtain and listen to the government!" ”

Suddenly, a group of people who had already prepared came out in response, carried the throne of the Queen Mother, put it behind King Cui, and hung it down with a beaded curtain, and the ministers were respectfully invited to take their seats and made a big salute.

After a period of incitement, King Cui was young, his face was already pale, and he asked: "What else is there to do with the ministers, if there is nothing to do, just retreat from the court!" ”

Of course, there was no big deal, so the young King Cui brushed his sleeves away!

Don't look at the Queen Mother who only sat for a few minutes, but this was enough, she smiled and said: "The mourning family has also returned to the palace, Xiangguo is the new appoint, there must be many things, Xiangguo can handle it by himself." ”

When the queen mother also left the court, all of a sudden, a group of people belonging to the Zhu Party congratulated forward: "Congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the prime minister, I will wait for the service!" ”

At this time, the Xiangguo Mansion has been cleaned up.

A group of people entered from the main gate, and they saw that this prime minister's mansion was really huge, and there were originally many servants and children of the Zhu family, but when they were put in this mansion, they were few.

As soon as I walked over, I walked through the second gate, walked to the platform hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, invited Zhu Xin to sit, and the ministers sat down according to their grades, and the hall had already lit a strange fragrance.

Zhu Xin saw that there were many ministers in the hall, and there were two lines of honor guards standing outside, which was indeed the majesty of Xiangguo.

At this time, there is no need to elaborate, in terms of meritorious deeds, the prime minister has the power to appoint the minister's subordinate officials, one by one, and the previously developed fertile land, the remaining part, one by one, one by one, these have a draft, there is no half a moment, when everyone is promoted, everyone is rich, and everyone is immediately convinced, smiling.

The other officials were extremely envious, and at that moment, a banquet was held to entertain the ministers.

It was extremely lively outside, and Zhu Xin's henchmen and others, as well as the core staff, had already arrived in the inner room to plan and plan.

A staff member surnamed Gao said: "Lord, the two thieves have learned from the previous car, this Lin Yuwei must be properly controlled, and the queen mother will be in the court, although it is a wonderful strategy, it will be evil to the king." ”

"Well, what you said is right, Chengsheng, this military power is related to the life and death of my family, you have to be optimistic about me." Zhu Xin said to a young general.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know in my heart that I will control these 5,000 troops for the family, and no one outside can touch it!" Zhu Chengsheng is a member of the Zhu family, and said solemnly.

Zhu Xin nodded, this nephew is shrewd and capable, good at martial arts, and strict in governing the army, even if he is worse than a famous general, he is still a good general, with him, this Lin Yuwei, he can rest assured.

"Lord, Lin Yu Weigu is like this, but the soldiers of this mansion also need elite soldiers, but the Prime Minister's Mansion only allows three hundred personal soldiers, and the Lord Earl only allows three hundred soldiers, adding up to only six hundred, which seems to be less!"

"It's less, but it doesn't matter, in a few days, the will to promote my family to the marquis will be issued by the queen mother, the marquis can lead five hundred personal soldiers, adding up to eight hundred, if the others are counted as servants, it will be about the same as a thousand!" Zhu Xin nodded and said, "The most important thing now is how to liquidate the people of the two thieves and those who don't agree with us, but be careful and try to ask the captain to take action." ”

"Congratulations to the lord for being promoted, as for the affairs of the descendants, the lord can rest assured, the queen mother Zhou family, but the small clan, the power is not big, they are more eager than us for quick success, to clear the courtiers, install henchmen, as long as a little guidance, you can let the descendants be its vanguard, this is not a conspiracy, it is really a conspiracy!"

And then the specific details, these people are all the choice of the moment, and there is not much time, even if it is sorted out.

"You're right, but I think it could be a little more thorough!" Zhu Xin said, motioned to everyone, and continued: "Let's first set up people in the royal capital, and when those that belong to us have been obtained, and everything is stable, I will leave Beijing!" ”

These words immediately shocked people, and someone said: "Lord, you are the prime minister, you are out of Beijing, how is the world good?" ”

Zhu Xin smiled and said: "Today, above the court, there are many families, and there is a foundation behind each official, you can say, if the queen mother is in charge, even if we wait to watch, can we monopolize the government?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was thoughtful.

"You and I are confidants, I will say bluntly, although the king is young now, he is not the lord of weakness, in the past few years, I am afraid that there will be trouble, God wants to make people perish, it will make it crazy, to cut off the future disaster, it will make the king and the queen mother sharply opposed, after all, there is not much time left for the king to govern."

"If you want the Hou Party to have the courage and strength to confront the king, you must give it first-hmph, forgive this Hou Party, and it does not have the ability to pull out the intricate family that has been entrenched for hundreds of years in this country, in this case, why should we worry?"

When he said this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they said, "The Lord is wise! The lord is the prime minister, even if he leaves the royal capital, he still has enough name and power, and above the court, if the queen mother and the king have a conflict, the queen mother must be made to monopolize the power, so that the king and the queen mother have disputes, and in the end, the lord needs to come up to calm the overall situation. ”

"The Lord's policy is wise, although the Queen Mother is in charge, but after all, there are only five years before the king's pro-government, in these five years, even if it is us, no matter how the power happens, the foundation is unstable, and we can't do this last fisherman's thing, let alone the Queen Mother? Once the five years are up, it is the limit, and one side will win. ”

Everyone suddenly had an unfathomable sense of Zhu Xin's strategy.

The king still has five years to govern in person, even if he lets the queen mother take power, there is no way to really control the situation, but five years of fiery development will make the queen mother advance without retreating, so that the king and the queen mother will fight an endless battle.

At that time, Zhu Xin intervened again and calmly occupied the empty space after the death match, and there was a way to advance or retreat, which was indeed a good strategy!

"I quit the royal capital, but it doesn't mean that I quit everything, I should fight, I still have to fight, I should keep it, I still have to keep it, if five years later, we are in the royal capital, there is no foundation, then it is a wedding dress for people, understand?" Zhu Xin said.

"Rest assured, Lord, we will understand!"

After a pause, someone asked, "In what name did the Lord leave Beijing?" ”

"Water and drought come from people, I don't know famine, there is no famine year, the world is called Tianfu, and the heart of this official is to overhaul water conservancy, so that this Cui country will become a country of abundance, what is the name?" Zhu Xin said lightly, with infinite pride in his heart.

The queen mother is the vanguard, her qi is actually part of the royal family, whether it is against the king or the elimination of the family, it is all something that hurts the royal family's qi and hurts yin morality.

Retreat and control the water, not only can lead to the two wolves infighting, but also can win the hearts of the people of the world, when the river to control the water, has made themselves famous in the country, the reputation spread abroad, many scholars have come to vote, this is only a part of the project, if all the governance is really completed, when the world is the world, immortal.

Gain fame, gain and gain merit, and it is in this retreat and control the water.
