In the palace bedchamber.

After settling Lin'er to sleep, Lu An hugged Lingfeng and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

After learning that Lu An was specifically trying to save her, Lingfeng couldn't calm down, and flashed her beautiful big eyes, staring at Lu An.

"Xianggong, didn't you say before that you have no intention of returning to the country and becoming an emperor? Changed your mind now? ”

Lu Anmo held the silky brocade quilt, looked at the spacious and palatial dormitory, and recalled the Yingfeng car outside the city, and the scene of Xia Gang kneeling to greet him, and sighed.

"When the emperor has to deal with countless political affairs every day, and he has to be like a prisoner for the rest of his life, and he can't even leave the palace gate freely, it is better to be a rich man and be at ease."

"However, it seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined."

"Let's take one step at a time, if it's really boring in the future, pass the throne to Lin'er, and I'll travel around with you, okay?"

"Hmm!"

Mu Lingfeng obediently snuggled in his arms, "Wherever Xianggong goes, I will follow!" ”

Early the next morning, Lu An was awakened by the sound of a drum.

When I looked up, it was just getting dark.

Outside the dormitory, someone whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court early." ”

I'll go!

Lu An left the warm quilt and sighed helplessly, "I'll just say, being an emperor is a hard life, I really don't understand how there are so many people, and they have to rush to sit in that position when they break their heads!" ”

Mu Lingfeng persuaded with a smile while dressing him, "Xianggong is coming to the court on the first day, it's better not too late, and you will get used to it slowly in the future." ”

Lu An just complained casually, he naturally knew how important it was to deal with and face the things that he needed to deal with and face for the first time today.

Accompanied by his personal eunuch, Lu An rushed to the top of the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, the ministers were already in place.

In addition to the original old ministers, Chu Yin, Mu Village, Fu Tianqi, Cheng Xuefeng and others also stood at the forefront in turn.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the sharp voice of the eunuch, the county minister knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

And Lu An strode to the dragon chair behind the royal case and sat down.

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu An looked at Xia Gang, the only one in the hall who was still kneeling in place, at first glance.

"Your Majesty—"

Chu Yin, who was led by the left, was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty's accession to the throne is imminent, and it is not appropriate for the deposed emperor Xia Gang to continue to stay in the court, please demote him to a commoner."

"In addition, Xia Yongchen, the father of Xia Gang, was originally an old minister of the Great Qian, who did not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but rebelled and rebelled, which is really a crime that cannot be forgiven."

"Please ask Your Majesty to move the ancestral shrine of the Xia family out of the Taimiao and destroy the spiritual seat of the puppet emperor Xia Yongchen to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky!"

After Chu Yin finished speaking, Xia Gang trembled, and although the ministers did not raise any objections, they whispered one after another.

Seeing this, Lu An said, "Where is the book of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Zhang Zuo stood up, "Minister Zhang Zuo, Xi Ren is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, see Your Majesty." ”

"Master Zhang, in your opinion, how should Xia Gang be placed?"

Zhang Zuo glanced at Xia Gang and took a few breaths before replying, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree with Lord Chu's words. ”

"Although the puppet emperor Xia Yongchen is at fault, it is his business, and Xia Gang should not be implicated."

"As a son of man, Xia Gang did not participate in the rebellion back then, but only inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, even if he was wrong, it was only a mistake that he should not be an enemy of His Majesty."

"But the position is different, each is its master, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, even if he dies, he is just waiting for leisure, if because of the grievances of the previous generation, and the descendants will watch the ancestors be humiliated and humiliated, it is really against the great courtesy."

"Moreover, Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, for all the people to look up to, if Your Majesty blames Xia Gang for this matter, and even implicates his ancestral shrine, the ministers are afraid that all people will be resentful, and there are many murmurs inside and outside the government and the opposition, which will be very unfavorable for Your Majesty to govern the world."

"As for how to settle Xia Gang, the minister doesn't dare to say anything, and asks Your Majesty's Sacred Heart to make a decision."

Hearing this, Lu An pondered for a moment, and instructed Zhang Wen, the eunuch beside him, "Bring me the map." ”

Zhang Wen quickly found the map and spread it on the imperial case.

Lu An stared intently for a while, and finally pointed to a position above.

"Xia Gang, do you know this place in Zhuo County?"

Xia Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, was puzzled when he heard the words, but he immediately replied, "Back to Your Majesty, Zhuo County is located in Youzhou. ”

Lu An nodded and ordered someone to put away the map.

"I named you the Marquis of Anle, and the fief is temporarily set as Yuyang County next to Zhuo County."

"However, you can go to Zhuo County first, and then go to Yuyang County a year later, and at the same time, you are allowed to bring the Xia Family Ancestral Ancestral Hall with you, what do you think?"

When Xia Gang heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart.

At least, Lu An not only did not give him death, but also gave him a fief.

Although there is only one county, it is already a bonus.

As for why Lu An didn't let him go to the fiefdom immediately, it was not that important.

"Guilty Minister, Thank Your Majesty Longen."

"Well, Anlehou, you can calm down first."

Lu An's handling of Xia Gang finally made the old ministers of the court secretly relieved.

After all, on the first day of the Dynasty, Lu An did not accept the invitation of Chu Yin, the old minister who followed him, as they imagined!

After dealing with Xia Gang's matter, Lu An immediately looked at Zhao You, who was under Chu Yin.

"Zhao You!"

Zhao You was already worried in his heart, and when he heard Lu Jun'an's call, and his tone was not good, he immediately trembled in his heart, and fell to the ground with a plop, "Minister, the guilty minister knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Humph!"

Lu An snorted coldly, "Since you call yourself a criminal minister, do you know what crime you have committed!" ”

Cold sweat oozed from Zhao You's forehead, and he trembled all over, "The sinner doesn't know!" ”

"Zhao You! You have been the prime minister of three dynasties, you are in a high position, and you don't want to serve the country loyally, but you have repeatedly formed a party for personal gain, colluded with Xia Chun, and harmed Zhongliang in vain, which is really a crime that is not forgiven! ”

Zhao You was shocked when he heard this, and kowtowed, "The guilty minister has been wronged, Your Majesty forgives the sin!" ”

What shocked Zhao You was that Lu An did not mention his commanding envoy when he went to Jiankang, and his disrespect to Lu An at that time, but mentioned his past when he was willing to be Xia Chunma's pawn, what does this mean?

It's a pity that Lu An didn't allow him to defend himself at all, and immediately shouted, "Someone! ”

"Push out this rebellious minister and thief, an incompetent mediocre official, and behead him!"

Boom –

Zhao You immediately roared in his head!

It wasn't until this moment that he reacted.

Lu An is obviously trying to make an example of him and deter Xia Gang's old ministers!

Not only him, but Xia Gang's old ministers were also shocked in their hearts, and they were worried about their future.

The new official took office with three fires, let alone the new monarch?

This new monarch did not play his cards according to common sense, and did not take advantage of the unstable position to win people's hearts, but before he ascended the throne, he had already wielded a butcher's knife.

Seeing that he was about to be pushed out of the main hall, Zhao You was frightened, his mind was racing rapidly, and he suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty spares your life." ”

"The criminal minister has something extremely important to start, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it!"

Oh?

This is going to be guilty of meritorious service!

Lu Anxin sneered and called Zhao You back in time.

He wants to hear what secrets this shameless villain has that can exchange his life!
