Chapter 20 Your Majesty, the old minister thinks he is very good

Inside the Taihe Palace.

Su Chen's voice was very loud, and it clearly echoed in the Taihe Palace.

"I think that today's Great Xia Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is necessary to raise troops and strengthen the army to protect the safety of the family and the country!"

"Therefore, I was given the title of Great Xia Iron Army, and the 120,000 new army was established in the imperial capital; when I became the Ninth Emperor's Prince, there were some staff members in the palace, who were capable and virtuous, and were not weak ministers. ”

"Of these four people, Zhao Yun is the former captain and commands 30,000 people! Bai Qi is the rear captain and commands 30,000 people! Li Yuanba is the left captain and commands 30,000 people! Lei Zhenzi is the right captain and commands 30,000 people!"

"Si Yi is a sacrificial wine in the army and assists the four captains in managing the new army!"

Su Chen's voice was calm and extremely decisive.

This was not a consultation with the ministers, but Su Chen's unilateral notification to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

I will personally decide the matter of the new army!

This is not that Su Chen is stubborn and self-serving, but that there are really no ministers in the DPRK who are worthy of his consultation, even if Guo Sikong is talented, Su Chen can't trust him.

As for Shang Ying's words, Su Chen had not yet arrived at the right opportunity to promote him, so he could only temporarily let him serve as his Zhongshu Ling (civil official who drafted the holy decree).

Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, Su Chen can only believe in himself at present, the formation and establishment of the new army, as soon as it is dispatched, he will personally supervise, and no one can interfere!

This matter was announced to the imperial capital by a holy decree yesterday, and the ministers already knew about it.

Although Zhao Yun and the other four were not known, they naturally would not rebel against His Majesty at this time.

It is nothing more than a 120,000 new army, even if the training is too good, the combat effectiveness may not be comparable to the boss's army, and it may not even be stronger than the imperial forest army, and the most powerful army of the Great Xia Dynasty is always the Sijia army.

This is the thought of all the ministers, there is no need to offend the powerful emperor for the sake of a new army.

However, the emperor's next sentence made the officials change color.

"The establishment of the new army is of course important, but the three public positions above the court are also indispensable, and the two ministers Situ and Sima are too old to handle the heavy government affairs, and I can't find a suitable candidate for a while. ”

"Therefore, the three public positions are temporarily under the control of Guo Sikong alone, and he temporarily receives the Great Xia military machine, the military and political master, the civil tax Dasitu, and the official water and soil Dasikong!"

Su Chen's voice was indifferent, although the voice was light, it was like the sound of thunder, shaking the court.

The officials were shocked, looking at each other, and many people looked at each other.

Above the Taihe Palace, there was a small commotion.

"The position of the three princes is actually gathered together!"

"The Three Princes lead the six departments...... In this way, Guo Sikong is the first person under His Majesty?"

"This ...... Incredible. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a great grace!"

......

Rao is state of mind cultivation of these officials is excellent, and they can't help but look shocked, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a matter of three public positions gathered in one person.

For 100,000 years, even the most mediocre Great Xia Emperor knew the most basic way of checks and balances, and the three princes were originally mutually restricted.

Today, the emperor actually let Guo Sikong control the three public positions alone.

Even if it's only temporary, who knows when this temporary rule won't become official?

After all, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

Is this the gift of Guo Sikong after standing in line?

Is...... O Grace Rumble!

"What's the matter?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile.

"No, no, no. ”

An official hurriedly stepped out, knelt down, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has a clear eye, a discerning eye, and a look at the Great Xia Dynasty, now only Guo Sikong has such connections, qualifications, and talents to receive the position of the three dukes." ”

"Wait, no objection!"

The ministers knelt down one after another, their voices neat and full of excitement.

Yes, they were excited.

What remains in the court now are the people of Guo Sikong's faction, and now Guo Sikong is deeply blessed by God;

Compared with the excitement of these officials, Guo Sikong was indeed shocked in his heart, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Your Majesty wasn't joking last night, he really wanted me to take charge of the three dukes.

Is this a killing? or a reuse?

The three princes factions of the Great Xia Dynasty have been fighting each other for decades, and even the distant orc empire has heard of it, how could Your Majesty not know?

Now there are only faction officials left in the entire court, and Your Majesty will not be afraid of me if he does this...... Be a regent?

Your Majesty can't be so stupid, such a big hidden danger, he can't see it?

Guo Sikong thought of this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he always felt that there was a pit here, and hurriedly knelt down: "The minister knows that his talent is not good, and he is afraid that he will live up to His Majesty's love, and the old minister implores His Majesty to withdraw his life and choose someone else." ”

"What's the matter? Now that the traitorous ministers are in charge, the Eight Kings are in chaos, and the Great Xia country is in trouble, and Aiqing refuses to help me?"

Su Chen's voice sank, his tone became extremely displeased, and he said lightly: "If you are no longer qualified, who else can I go to!"

Su Chen's tone was extremely dissatisfied, in the sound of the hundred officials, the emperor really relied on Guo Sikong!

What is it?

This is Jane in the Emperor's Heart!

At the time of the national crisis, the emperor relied on Guo Sikong so much, as long as the period of national disaster passed, Guo Sikong must be monstrous, and he was the real second person in the Great Xia Dynasty!

"No! Your Majesty is serious. ”

Guo Sikong sighed, knelt, didn't dare to look up, and hurriedly explained: "The more critical the national crisis, the more talented people will come out, and the time to show the 100,000-year heritage of my Great Xia Dynasty!"

"The Great Xia Dynasty has a long heritage, and in the past 100,000 years, how many heroes have emerged in an endless stream, and the generals of the dynasty will fall!"

"The old minister is old, although he has the heart to help the king, but he is powerless, and the minister does not dare to sin with his own body and miss the major affairs of the family and the country!"

"The old minister implores Your Majesty to choose good talents again, and I am willing to join hands with the new two Grand Dukes to govern the country, do my best, and assist the emperor to clean up the country!"

Guo Sikong was resolute to the extreme, this old fox would never enter Su Chen's pit.

The old man will be the commonplace, and the other two grand duke positions, whoever loves it wants it, anyway, the old man doesn't want it!

If you want to take it, you must first take it.

Your Majesty is doing this, definitely not trying to reuse me, definitely having other plans!

Guo Sikong now understands that anyone who underestimates Su Chen will not end well, and he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Chen Situ and Wang Sima.

"You..... You bastard!"

Su Chen got up "poofed", got up from the dragon chair, strode forward, and walked to the white marble steps, his voice was particularly gloomy: "Believe it or not, I made you unable to even do it!"

"The old minister believes that if His Majesty wants to punish him, he should be a courtier, and he should be grateful. ”

Guo Sikong raised his head and bowed deeply: "Thunder, rain and dew, all are the grace of the king, the minister is only willing to saddle the horse for His Majesty, and go to the soup for the rise of my Great Xia Dynasty! But the old minister will never force the power, the three public positions, the old minister dare not be, and he can't be it!"

"You dare to disrespect the will!"

Su Chen was furious.

"The old minister is thinking about Daxia wholeheartedly, not to resist the decree and disrespect, this is a warning. ”

Guo Sikong's tone was very firm.

"It's better to do this, you first take the position of the third public for a month, and then I will choose another good talent; I also know that Guo Aiqing is old, and his mental strength is inevitably a little lacking......

"Your Majesty, by all means! In the past month, the situation has changed, and at this moment, the minister does not dare to say that he can handle the affairs of the three public affairs by himself, and the minister implores His Majesty to choose another good talent!"

"You won't even help me for a month!

Su Chen was angry and scolded him.

The officials were speechless and their faces were dull.

It's really the most amazing thing in the world, these two monarchs and ministers, one has to give the three official positions, and the other doesn't want to live or die.

This is the position of the three princes!

Above the six, under the emperor!

Every Grand Duke position is a very popular minister, if there is a power stronger than the Grand Duke, it is the three dukes gathered in one! Now that there is a further opportunity in front of him, Guo Sikong actually doesn't want to live or die?

It's incredible.

At least a very small number of officials woke up in time, Guo Sikong was afraid...... I am afraid that the power will prevail and invite death!

At that time, it will not be a question of whether His Majesty wants to kill him or not, but whether he must kill him!

Moreover, Guo Sikong at that time, in order to save his life, will definitely disrupt the court, and he will set off an anti-flag!

Throughout the 100,000-year history of Great Xia, such a thing has not happened before.

It is a good thing to be a great minister, but everything must also have a degree.

"Hmph, if you want to resist the decree, it's okay, you recommend someone to me, otherwise...... Shang Ying!"

"Slave here. ”

Shang Ying has been standing behind Liwuzi, with a small table in front of him, holding a pen, and writing holy decrees at any time.

He did not have an official position, so he could not call himself a minister, but only a slave.

"Is the decree ready?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Guo Sikong's holy decree for the temporary receipt of the Third Duke has been drawn up. ”

Su Chen's eyes fell on Guo Sikong's body.

The officials looked at each other and were speechless to each other......

Look, what do you mean if you want to resist the decree?!

This majesty also relies too much on Guo Sikong, I'm afraid that even Si Long doesn't have such blessings!

Which minister dares to disobey the decree!

But Guo Sikong dared, he was in the Taihe Palace, and he discussed it directly with His Majesty, which was too favored.

Many officials looked at Guo Sikong who was kneeling with envy, but they didn't know the nervousness in his heart at this time.

The more His Majesty relied on him, the more he felt a sense of crisis.

Even the minister of Conglong, who held a heavy army in his hand and held him to the position of emperor with one hand, did not have this grace, how could he, a Sikong who once controlled the power of the court and government with Situ and Sima, bear this holy grace?

The old minister is terrified!

At this time, Guo Sikong's eyes suddenly fell on Shang Ying's body, and he looked at His Majesty's expression again, although His Majesty's jade crown bead curtain covered his face, Guo Sikong clearly felt His Majesty's eyes.

It was very calm, and the eyes of His Majesty looking at him had absolutely no grace or appreciation!

Guo Sikong trembled, blessed to the heart, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to recommend a person for Your Majesty!"

"Oh, who can be so blessed to be recommended by Guo Aiqing personally? ”

Su Chen smiled.

This old man is sensible, and he didn't salivate in vain.

It was only at this time that Guo Sikong found that the emperor looked at him with a little more appreciation.

And so it was!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks he is very good!

Guo Sikong kowtowed, straightened up, and pointed to the top of the white marble stairs.

Isn't that direction behind His Majesty?

The hundred officials were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Guo Sikong's fingers, is it the old eunuch who is leaving the twist?

No, it can't be, how could a eunuch take the position of Situ?

Be.....

It's the middle book order!
