Cui Cen died.

Returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, no, it can't be called the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore, it should be said that after returning to the Cui Mansion, he committed suicide with a three-foot white silk hanging beam.

The Cui family watched and mourned, but no one stopped them, because there was no point in blocking them.

After the news came out, not many people in the capital were surprised, only some old people sighed that they were both prosperous and dying.

For young people, it's more about excitement.

Although this kind of thing has nothing to do with most people, this feeling of experiencing a big event still makes many people feel very excited.

In contrast, after Zhao Xin in the palace heard the news, he only paused slightly, and then waved his hand and said, "Leave it to Yousi to deal with." ”

Compared with Cui Cen's death, Zhao Xin has too many facts to worry about now, and he doesn't have much interest in caring about the life or death of such a political opponent who no longer has much meaning.

The fall of the Cui Party this time was naturally followed by a flood-like purge, which was inevitable, although Zhao Xin had tried his best to suppress it, but thousands of people were still taken down.

Thousands of people, it sounds terrifying, if this is in the Tang Taizong period of the Chinese world, the entire imperial court will be empty.

It is said that during the most streamlined period of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's central court had only 600 people, of course, this must only be counted as official officials, and servants, staff, and servant officials must not be counted.

But even so, it is still far from Daqin.

In fact, not to mention Tang Zhenguan, even in the period when the official governance structure of any country in China was better, he couldn't bear it, and Lao Zhu was an example.

But after thousands of people in Daqin were taken down, there was only a shortage of personnel in some institutions in Daqin, and redundant officials and redundant personnel actually became a benefit.

Zhao Xin felt sarcastic when he thought about it.

But no matter what, the shortage of many key departments still needs to be filled, the main one is the Prime Minister's Mansion, from Changshi, Sizhi, to Cao Caopeng, and then down to Baishi officials, almost all of them are implicated.

Even if there are still those who have not been implicated, they are so frightened that they are trembling, and they are already useless.

So much so that it has become very difficult to hand over government affairs now.

"Your Majesty, the reform of the government is imminent. ”

In the north study, in addition to Yuhuatian, Li Cunxiao, and Qiao Sanniang, almost all of Zhao Xin's descendants, including Lin Yuchen, were present.

Lin Yuchen has now been appointed by Zhao Xin as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and with his current image, it is almost impossible to serve as a foreign court official.

But considering that he is the son of the former prime minister and is also the brother of Concubine Lin Yuyan, he definitely needs an arrangement.

By the way, when Lin Yuyan accompanied Zhao Cui's family to Yong'an Palace the day before, Zhao Xin's canonization intention was also passed to Yong'an Palace, and Lin Yuyan was crowned as Concubine Ming, and at the same time, his mother Nangong was crowned as Mrs. Yipin.

It stands to reason that as the mother of the side concubine, she is not qualified to be crowned Mrs. Yipin, but considering that she also has the identity of the wife of former Prime Minister Lin Hongyue, this Mrs. Yipin naturally has nothing inappropriate.

At the same time, Zhao Xin also issued an edict to officially rehabilitate Lin Hongyue, posthumously crown An Guogong, and ordered Taichang to draw up a nickname.

All of the above is a kind of honor, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a little compensation for the Lin family from the Zhao royal family.

Seeing that their parents were able to correct their names, Lin Yuyan's brothers and sisters were naturally grateful.

That night, Zhao Xin also officially summoned Lin Yuyan in Xingqing Palace.

So now Lin Yuchen can be regarded as a relative of the uncle, Zhao Xin took a look at his value.

found that his loyalty had reached 85, his ambition was 66 points, and his loyalty value was 85, but Zhao Xin was not surprised.

After all, the public case of that year, although it has not yet been fully ascertained whether what Cui Cen said is true or false, but at present, it seems that it has little to do with the first emperor and the Zhao royal family.

At most, they are unable to protect ministers who are loyal to state affairs, but this is not what the Zhao royal family is willing to do.

In addition, Zhao Xin first helped his brother and sister recognize each other during this time, and then asked people to find his mother and reunite their mother and son.

Although Zhao Xin has his own purpose, if Lin Yuchen is not grateful, then this person is really bad.

Now that Cui Cen is dead, the Lin family's revenge has been avenged, her sister has become the imperial concubine, her mother has been rewarded, and her father has been justified.

85 points of loyalty is not a small amount, but it is not too much, but such a high loyalty value is naturally available compared to his ambition.

Therefore, Zhao Xin planned to give him the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

Although he is still temporarily serving as the deputy commander, Zhao Xin did not arrange a commander for Jinyiwei, and temporarily let Yuhuatian keep an eye on it.

This can be regarded as a process of learning and examining for him.

If he is competent, it will naturally be a matter of course, and if he is not competent, then it is natural to arrange another commander to make the past.

As for him, when the time comes, he will either be used for other purposes, or given a noble idle errand, and it will not be considered to have wronged him.

Lin Yuchen naturally knows this.

So at this time, Lin Yuchen was really holding back his strength, and the rocker was straight when he sat there.

When everyone saw this, they all shook their heads and laughed, but no one said anything, it is better to be motivated than not motivated.

Of course, as a latecomer, a deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, although the emperor let him participate in this small meeting that is the core of the emperor, he also knows that he does not have much right to speak, nor does he have much ability to speak.

So he just kept his mouth tightly closed, listening attentively to these big things that he couldn't touch in his past life.

But his heart was secretly shaken, after all, restructuring is not a trivial matter.

But seeing that Zhao Xin also looked solemn, he nodded slightly and said: "Restructuring is indeed imperative, but where is the right place to start at present?"

Restructuring is no longer a political need in the current Daqin, but also an economic need.

Because Daqin's redundant officials and redundant personnel have reached the point of being overwhelmed.

"From Taichang or Guangluxun. ”

This time it was Yu Qian who spoke, "Of these two places, Guangluxun is the least implicated, and most of them are in the inner court, so starting from here is the least obstacle."

The second is too often, although it is too often related to the sacrifice of the temple, but now there are too many temples in Daqin, and even the royal family also knows it.

There are clouds in ancient rites, seven temples of the Son of Heaven, and Daqin has reached more than 100 temples since Taizu, and in addition, there are also temples in various counties.

Coupled with the mausoleums of queens, princesses and princes of all dynasties, it is a terrifying number for sacrifices every year.

Taking last year as an example, just Le Zhuzai used as many as 150,000 people.

I don't know how much money and food are spent. ”

Yu Qian is worthy of a generation of famous ministers, although he is often called the prime minister of saving time, people mistakenly think that he is a tool for emergency use.

But I don't know that this person actually has quite a lot of merit in reform, but his credit for turning the tide is so great that other abilities are covered up.

At this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he cut to the pros and cons, and they had just begun to receive the documents and materials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Yu Qian had already begun to pay attention to these things, and this vision was rare.

Kou Zhunren and the others also nodded slightly.

Lin Yuchen was shocked, not only shocked by Mr. Yu's ability, but also shocked by the words that came out of his mouth.

After all, he is also from a family, how can he not know what the so-called Le Zhuzai is.

In terms of official positions, it is the great pleasure under Taichang, Taizhu, Dazai, and the affairs in charge are the music workers in the sacrifice, the witch blessing and the sacrifices, and the number of people actually mobilized reached 150,000, and there are at least one such thing every year.

What a burden!
