Therefore, the successive princes of the Han Dynasty lived tremblingly and walking on thin ice.

Even if you are so careful, you may not be able to wait for a smooth handover.

The infighting between the princes, coupled with the suspicion of the emperor, caused many princes to fall on the way to the throne.

The most famous example of the Han Dynasty is that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ju, as the eldest son, the maternal family Wei was even more powerful.

Who would have thought that such a proud son of heaven who was made a prince at the age of seven would lose to his father's suspicion after being a prince for thirty-two years.

The most famous "Witch Gu Rebellion" in the last years of Emperor Wu refers to this event, which was later succeeded by Emperor Xuan of Han, the grandson of Liu Ju, and was posthumously called "戾".

Although Liu Zhi scoffed at this practice, he couldn't stop the courtiers from being so guarded, so Liu Jin acted cautiously and cautiously.

In addition to his own aging character, he is also inseparable from the surrounding environment.

Once the East Palace is established, there will be a team of people in the court, and these people will try their best to plan for him while getting closer to the prince's family.

Therefore, everyone around the prince will remind him all the time, let him restrain his edge and try to behave in a decent manner.

In a word, you must not exceed your duty at any time, and you must not make His Majesty the Emperor feel that you are ready and can't wait to ascend to the throne.

What they didn't know, however, was that the emperor was not only different in his governance, but also in his choice of successor.

He was really anxious to give way, not posturing.

Today's court meeting made Liu Zhi drowsy, and the atmosphere was too dull, because it was the first time that the prince presided over it, and the ministers' attitudes were also very ambiguous.

The vast majority of people chose to remain silent, wanting to see the situation before speaking, in this case, no one wants to be a bird and be classified as a prince by His Majesty.

It's one thing to take refuge in the crown prince behind his back and let the young people of the family have a good relationship with the prince, but I am in the court, but I can only stand on His Majesty's side.

This is the most basic rule of survival in the court, and no one will risk the world's condemnation to challenge the bottom line.

Liu Zhi has been in power for twenty-six years, how can he not know their thoughts, he just wants to see how Liu Jin will deal with this situation.

After a period of awkward silence, Liu Jin raised his eyes slightly, and the humerus ministers in front of him were as calm as water, as steady as Mount Tai.

The father in the back looked relaxed, leaning on his body, and there was a playful smile on his lips.

On such a serious occasion, only the emperor who is high above can stay out of the matter and have an expression of waiting to see a good show.

"I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Without speaking, he came and spoke, and when he got his signal, an officer in his thirties stood up from the corner.

Zeng Fu, the servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs, believed that the power of the imperial court should be gathered to compile a disaster relief guide, and all the disasters that have occurred in the past hundred years should be registered.

However, all administrative officials must first study and include it in the scope of evaluation, so as to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. ”

As a household servant, his position is relatively low, and he is not qualified to attend important court meetings.

But today's meeting is different in that it must involve the actual responsible personnel of the relevant departments, although it is possible to speak freely on the surface.

But everyone knows that when the court ranks according to seniority, and none of the bigwigs speak, how dare you, who is a waiter, speak out directly.

But at this moment, a discerning person knows at a glance that this is the person arranged by the prince, and it is definitely not a matter to keep being so stiff, and someone must break the deadlock.

If the position is too high, it will definitely not work, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of colluding with the prince, and it is too low to be qualified to hold a court meeting, and a household servant is just right.

Moreover, this Zeng Fu relied on the imperial examination to enter the position, his family background is ordinary, and no one in the family is in a high position, so the prince does not have to worry about the suspicion of having private dealings with high-ranking officials.

His opinion is very pertinent, and it also represents the opinion of the majority of people, Liu Zhi's policy over the years is very clear, that is, there are laws to follow, there are systems to follow, and everything is done according to the rules and regulations.

Except for very special emergencies, most of the court meetings are related to the addition or deletion of various systems.

After Zeng Fu finished speaking, some people immediately echoed him, these people are middle-level officials in various departments, characterized by their young age, and all of them have entered the official career through the imperial examination.

They are in unison with the crown prince, which will not have any taboo effect, but can prove the crown prince's ability to engage in politics.

A prince who has been in the East Palace for four years, if he has no people under him, what is the effect, it can only prove his incompetence.

Immediately afterwards, some middle-level officials also made supplementary suggestions on the details of the disaster relief guide, and most of them were quite pertinent.

After discussing for half an hour and seeing that it was basically the same, Liu Jin turned his eyes to the big guys sitting like clocks in the front row with a spring breeze on his face.

"The prince is in charge of the household department, and he knows the operation of this best, I don't know what suggestions he can have?"

Wang Lang, the head of the household, has a relatively upright personality, and Liu Jin chose him to ask by name, which is naturally purposeful.

"The suggestions of the gentlemen are very good, the key is to implement them as soon as possible, immediately send relevant personnel to investigate and collect the situation, and organize special personnel to compile them, which is the top priority."

Wang Lang is a man of action, it is better to sit and talk than to get up and act, this matter is easy to say, but it is very troublesome to do, not a matter of one or two days.

"What the prince said is that when the time comes, the household department will have to cooperate more."

Liu Jin smiled and had a very respectful attitude, although he was the crown prince and had a noble status, he was very humble and polite in front of those old ministers.

But this did not affect his aura, but won the appreciation of many old ministers, the Han ruled the country with etiquette, even Liu Zhi maintained basic respect for these ministers.

Now that Wang Lang has expressed his position and someone has taken the lead, others are no longer silent, but have expressed their support.

At this time, today's court meeting was almost coming to an end, and Liu Jin carefully reviewed the terms and conditions that had just been recorded, and then let the eunuch behind him present them to Liu Zhi.

However, Liu Zhi didn't look at it, and put it aside casually, "The prince can just look at it, such a trivial matter, I don't need to give instructions in the future." ”

With that, they were the first to leave, and everyone stood still and bowed to see each other, and they all noticed an unusual detail.

That is, His Majesty the Emperor did not announce the boycott, but left this right to the crown prince Liu Jin.

In other words, the emperor is ready to start delegating power, which is a very subtle signal, which is related to all the courtiers, and they have to deal with it carefully what to do next.

After the day dispersed, the seemingly calm court was like a stone being cast, rippling round after round.
