Chapter 766: The Change of Prime Minister
c_t; Yang Yu stood on the steps of the square outside the closed temple gate, with the guards standing still in front of him, surrounded by hundreds of Moon Kingdom officials walking back and forth and talking.

At this time, the sky had not yet dawned, and they were all waiting for His Majesty the Moon King to start the early dynasty.
Although waiting for such a thing as the early dynasty, it is not considered a violation of the law of the moon for the ministers to stand and sit or even lie on the white stone floor, but this kind of thing still has some conventional 'specifications' after all.
The steps in front of the square and the temple gate completely show the difference in everyone's rank and identity.
In front of the temple gate at the top of the stairs is the place where the general, the prime minister, the imperial historian, the imperial lieutenant, and others are 'qualified' to stand.
The rest of the ministers, unless they are Shang Shuling, Daxue Shi and Jiuqing, once they get close to here, they will only arouse the opinions of the people around them.
Officialdom has aroused the opinions of others, which is naturally not something to be happy about.
This is the center of power in the Moon Country, and everyone here is well versed in the way of protecting one's self.
Yang Yu, who was Hu Cao Shangshu, stood three squares below the highest step, and there were more than two hundred people below him.
This status is already extremely high. But in fact, a few months ago, Yang Yu was qualified to stand in the first level.
Because the forty-six-year-old is the eldest son of Prime Minister Yangjie, this status alone is enough for him to have some privileges to break the 'custom'.
But unfortunately, the scenes that happened on the night of Yue Luoning's wedding completely changed his current situation.
His father, Yang Jie, supported Prince Hanyue, and he was naturally on that side.
That night, he was also one of the people who knelt down and begged Tsukiyama to abdicate, so he was demoted afterwards.
From the original second-grade Shangshu servant, to the third-grade Hucao Shangshu, the authority has shrunk a lot.
Although he did not feel resentful in his heart, he felt glad that after all, what they did that night was a rebellion, and under normal circumstances, they would have been cut off and exiled.
But on the other hand, some of the changes are real.
In the eyes of some courtiers, he and his father, as well as the more than 400 people, were already a thorn in the side of the Moon King.
The Moon King only hindered his son's feelings, so he would continue to keep them as officials in the court.
They are people who have 'bad deeds', and they have no chance to get ahead in their lives.
It's not that the ministers haven't thought that the Moon King will pass away and Prince Lianshan will succeed to the throne, and these people still have the possibility of being promoted, but why don't they themselves have that possibility?
Now none of them thought about going against Prince Lianshan, after all, he was the only heir of the Moon Kingdom. Compared to those who have supported the cold moon, why can't these people who are loyal to the Moon King continue to be valued in the future?
What's more, Yueshan himself is also an Extreme Realm cultivator, who knows how many more years he can live?
Under normal circumstances, he would have no problem continuing to be a moon king for forty or fifty years. At that time, they were afraid that these courtiers would have died of old age, would they survive the day when Prince Lianshan succeeded to the throne?
And in the end, who knows if Yueshan will regret it? Those four hundred people betrayed him, he can't have no grudge against them in his heart, and now approaching them, who knows if Yueshan will also have an opinion of himself because of this?
Of the 400 'traitors', there were more than 100 people present at this time.
Including Yang Yu's son Shang Shulang Yang You.
After serving in Shangshutai for one year, you can become a Shangshulang, and after three years, you can become a squire.
Yang You was already a squire, but now he was demoted back to Shang Shulang.
He was originally surrounded by many people, and at the age of twenty-seven, he was originally a rising star in the Moon Kingdom.
But now, he was surrounded by only three or four people.
And the main reason why these three or four people are still around him is that they had the same experience after that night.
And another reason is that Yang You's grandfather Yang Jie doesn't seem to be 'abandoned' by the Moon King.
Yang Jie was originally the prime minister, and the general, the imperial doctor, and the captain were the four important ministers, and he was the first of the hundred officials.
After the events of that night, Yang Jie, the prime minister, was naturally sanctioned by Yueshan.
However, to the surprise of many people, Yang Jie was not stripped of his position as prime minister afterwards.
However, his power as prime minister was eventually curtailed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which he was originally in charge of, have gradually become uncontrolled by him, and only the two ministries of the court lieutenant and the imperial servant remain.
As for Shang Shutai and military affairs, which could have been a little involved, he was completely unable to interfere.
In fact, Yueshan has always felt that the power of the prime ministers of the mainland countries is too great. As the king of the Moon Kingdom, he should have always wanted to weaken the power of the prime minister, but doing so would cause a backlash from his courtiers.
After all, the courtiers are also afraid that the king's power is too centralized and too ****, so they will really accompany the king like a tiger.
In the first two hundred years of the emergence of the countries on the mainland, the power of the prime minister was so great that even the king had to pay three points. At that time, the court meeting was sometimes simply presided over by the prime minister, and then they led the performance.
At that time, the prime minister could even directly appoint officials below the fourth rank, and much of the king's authority was scattered in the hands of his courtiers.
Subsequently, the authority of the three princes, including the prime minister, was gradually weakened, and the Shangshutai was created, and the dismantling and deliberation of the chapters gradually passed into the hands of the Shangshutai, and this institution was directly responsible to the king.
After hundreds of years of development, Shangshutai's authority has become greater and greater, and the three dukes have gradually been hollowed out, and even have only the power to deliberate.
But in doing so, it made Shang Shutai sit big, which once again caused some people to be dissatisfied.
Later, the pattern of the imperial courts of various countries changed again, the functions of Shangshutai were weakened, and the three dukes were once again propped up. Especially the prime minister, it seems that he is about to return to the situation of controlling the government and politics in the early days, such as Wei Zhong, the prime minister of Shenyan, who can even replace the general to lead the three armies to attack Longyan.
Naturally, the process of change does not all change according to the mind of the head of a country, and no one can say how many internal strife and compromises there are.
But now the power of the prime ministers of various countries has gradually increased, but it is an indisputable fact.
Tsukiyama wanted to cut the power of the prime minister, but he never found an opportunity. But this time, he found a good opportunity.
After the night of the coup, he still retained his position and did not remove him from the position of prime minister, and many people could see that it was reserved for his son Lin Si.
Just like Mu Zheping said, he really wanted to leave a team for Lin Si.
But his other purpose, Mu Zheping couldn't see it.
If he deposes Yang Jie as prime minister and lets another person replace him, then the new prime minister will still be as high and powerful as in the past.
But he kept it, which is very intriguing.
Everyone knows that Yang Jie is a 'criminal minister', so he must accept the punishment he deserves.
Since Yueshan did not demote him, it is necessary to cut his power, it is impossible for him to rebel and lose nothing. As a result, Prime Minister Yang Jie lost a lot of power, and these powers were re-dispersed to other functional departments.
And these departments are all directly responsible to Tsukiyama.
What about the future? After Yang Jie steps down or dies, what about the next prime minister?
In the future, after Lin Si succeeds to the throne, what about the prime minister in his court?
Will those prime ministers be able to reclaim the authority that was 'rightfully theirs'?
It's impossible, and from now on, the prime minister of Yueguo will only have these powers now.
On the surface, he punished Yang Jie, but in fact, he 'punished' the position of prime minister.
At the same time, Yang Jie, the current prime minister, must also be grateful to him. Because it wasn't Yueshan who was tolerant, and it wasn't Prince Lianshan who interceded, he was now a commoner.
And what about the hundred officials, what about the captains, and what about the imperial doctors? Even if they saw it, what could they say?
At the beginning, they all interceded for Yang Jie......
They could only sit back and watch as some power was taken back by the king.
For Lin Si, Yueshan, a skilled father, was able to support him without reservation, which was indeed a kind of 'luck' for him
