Chapter Twenty-Six: Listening to the Government of the Dynasty
The Zichen Hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government.
The new emperor returned to the court to listen to the government, and most of the hundred officials in the court were members of the Cui family, and few people took this young emperor to heart.
The crown dress worn by the emperor in the previous court was not bright yellow.
Rather, it is a majestic black and vermilion gown.
The emperor, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a black robe, and holding a white jade gui, strode into the Zichen Palace.
The emperor is a dragon and a phoenix, and he is not angry and arrogant.
From the first sight of him, a fear of surrender rose uncontrollably in my heart.
Zhao Xin climbed the steps, flicked his wide sleeves, and sat on the dragon chair.
The civil and military officials knelt down in unison, and the neat and loud voices echoed in the glorious hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhao Xin's face was serious, but there was a stirring of blood in his heart.
One day, he will truly sit firmly in the supreme position in the world!
Now, just the beginning!
Zhao Xin's eyes looked at the ministers in the palace, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had an average loyalty of less than 30, and Cui Cen, who stood in the first place, was even more negative!
And Nancang on the side is a little better, but it is not 50.
Nancang is only loyal to the country, and in his eyes, the emperor, is a partner.
Naturally, loyalty to partners is not as great as that of subordinates.
In contrast, what made Zhao Xin the most unpleasant was Cui Cen!
Zhao Xin said lightly: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
Hundreds of officials stand according to their ranks, on the left and on the right.
The first on the left is Prime Minister Cui Cen, and the first on the right is Taiwei Nancang.
Zhao Xin's gaze swept lightly over the hundred officials in the hall: "What is the matter with the secretaries?" ”
"The ministers have nothing to do. He replied neatly, respectfully so that he couldn't find a single mistake.
Zhao Xin's expression was slightly cold, heh, nothing to do?
Zhao Xin said coldly: "How is the war on the front line, whether the people have been affected, how to solve the resettlement, etc., don't you need to play these games?"
Is he really a faint gentleman who knows nothing about the outside world?
Now that the people of Daqin are not having a good life, he knows best after reading the original work.
Although before the last dynasty, Zhao Xin had expected that this group of ministers led by Cui Cen would definitely make some moths.
But seeing such a situation now, it still made Zhao Xin angry.
"Your Majesty. A minister came out of the column with a wat and replied, "The rebellion has been suppressed by the Tai Lieutenant, and Your Majesty does not need to worry. ”
"A small accident has little impact. The people of Daqin are still living and working in peace and contentment, and all parties are calm. ”
Several ministers went out in turn to reply, but Zhao Xin became more and more annoyed when he heard it.
All the people are telling him that the world is singing and dancing, just like a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, and the ministers are pleased. There are pillars of the country like Xiangye, and the situation is stable. ”
Zhao Xin clenched the handrail with his palms, almost unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
This group of courtiers, don't they just take him as the emperor in their eyes?!
Even though he was sitting on this dragon chair, they still did not shy away from touting Cui Cen!
The old god Cui Cen stands in the first place on the left, with a peaceful demeanor, elegant temperament, neither humble nor arrogant.
At this time, someone mentioned him, Cui Cen bowed slightly with a light smile on his face, and said:
"With the protection of His Majesty's Heavenly Son and Dragon Qi, my Great Qin will be the peace of the country and the people. ”
Nan Cang on the right stood out of the way, although he could see that the Cui family and his party deliberately stumbled the emperor, but they did not mean to help the emperor support the scene.
In the future, this situation will only be much more, and if the emperor wants to fight with Cui Cen, he will have to adapt to the current situation.
Zhao Xin's face was cold, and he almost couldn't control his scolding.
The war disasters of the Seven Kings intensified, floods occurred frequently in the southern provinces, and droughts continued in the north, making the people of the world struggling to make a living...... This group of ministers is here to tell him that there is nothing to do?
The anger in Zhao Xin's eyes burned more intensely.
But there is fire and nowhere to vent.
Although he controlled the court and was given the opportunity to listen to the government.
But it's just a superficial "listening", and it's not much different from before.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost none of them were devoted to themselves.
These...... One by one, they are all members of Cui Cen's party.
Zhao Xin stared at Cui Cen, who had a negative loyalty, and his eyes were cold and solemn.
Cui Cen could feel the gaze from above, but the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, and the twelve jade rays hanging from the crown covered his eyes, and his expression was not real.
He was still standing faintly, and his mood was even a little relaxed.
In the past few days, the emperor has made some famous names while he is not paying attention.
even said that Nancang was moved to marry him and win over the old horseman.
But the conditions that were promised to Nancang were not much damage to him, and they were nothing to do.
Even if the emperor listens to the government, he is still in his hands.
Moreover, he is young and vigorous after all, and his desire to be in power is too strong.
Cui Cen now looked at the emperor like a powerful hunter teasing the prey that had been released.
For him to tease and amuse, but don't try to flip out the palm of your hand.
Zhao Xin suppressed his anger, and getting angry at this group of people was just a waste of his energy.
"Since I have set up an in-law with Taiwei, today I will make Taiwei a Taishi. ”
Now that he is the emperor, he is tied.
If Cui Cen does not fall for a day, he will not be able to promote or demote officials as he wants.
But with some honorary titles, Zhao Xin still has the ability.
Although he does not have any real power, this can be regarded as Zhao Xin's move to show favor to his future father-in-law.
Of course, by the way, I also stabbed Cui Cen's old horseman.
Zhao Xin said again: "General Zhenbei fought against the rebels on the front line, and as a reward, I hereby crown him as Marquis of Wei. ”
General Zhenbei is Nan Cang's eldest son, Nan Wuxing.
These Nancang naturally knew the reason for the emperor's Jiafeng, so they thanked him calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
The emperor married the Nan family, and everyone knows that they are now grasshoppers in the same boat.
But seeing that the little emperor blatantly showed closeness to the Nan family and completely ignored Cui Cen, the prime minister, some ministers were worried.
Besides, the opportunity to accuse the emperor, they will not miss it.
"Your Majesty, this is not an appropriate move. A minister said, "In terms of merit, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one can compare to Prime Minister Cui Cheng."
The prime minister has always been dedicated and conscientious for Daqin.
Now His Majesty is blazing the Nan family, but ignoring the prime minister, this move really chills the prime minister, and makes us feel cold. ”
Zhao Xin seemed to smile: "The prime minister has worked hard all these years, and the Great Qin State is under the governance of the prime minister, although the seven kings rebelled one after another, the Quartet has suffered disasters one after another, and repeated disaster relief has been fruitless.
But listening to Aiqing's words, the prime minister did work hard for this.
The queen mother, who was worried about the state affairs of the world, came to me yesterday and said that in the future, she would devote herself to worshipping the Buddha in Yong'an Palace and pray for the blessing of the Great Qin Kingdom.
Every time I think of the state affairs of the prime minister and the queen mother since I ascended the throne, I feel guilty. ”
The expression on Prime Minister Cui Cheng's face cracked for a moment.
