After Sima Liang and Wei Qian were eliminated, Jia Nanfeng certainly couldn't keep Sima Wei, a dangerous person. When Sima Wei thought that he had made another great achievement, he was suddenly accused of "the king of Chu was overbearing and killed the auxiliary minister", and the general of the palace took him down on the spot. At this time, he completely understood that he had launched two coups d'état, killed three auxiliary ministers, and done so many big things that others did not dare to do. What's even more aggrieved is that Yang Jun, Sima Liang, and Wei Qian are all in the age of sixtieth birthday and ancient rarity, but they have died a few years earlier, and he himself is just twenty-one years old.

From the death of Emperor Wu Sima Yan to the present, Jia Nanfeng only took about a year to eliminate all his opponents and completely grasp the power of the imperial court.

Any position needs a capable person to do it, let alone an emperor who controls the fate of the entire world? The Son of Heaven must be the dragon of dragons, but Sima Zhen is the insect of dragons. He had absolutely no ability to govern, and could only watch as these people resorted to all kinds of conspiracies in order to compete for the power of the court, causing chaos and chaos in the government and government, not only causing thousands of innocent lives, but also dissipating the cohesion of all his subjects and the people. The Great Jin, which has just embarked on the road to prosperity and stability, will inevitably turn to chaos and decay.

However, this is only a political decay, and it has not yet spilled over into economic life. The common people, as well as the wealthy families of the noble clan who were invincible in the political struggle, are still living according to their own trajectory.

After Jia Nanfeng took power, like Yang Jun, he excluded dissidents and promoted many of his own clansmen and clansmen, such as his sister's son Jia Mi as a regular attendant, Wang Rong as the Zhongshu Ling and Guanglu doctors, and the leaders of the Ministry of Shangshu as before.

Shi Hui saw that the current affairs were a foregone conclusion, and no one could shake Jia Nanfeng's position in a short period of time, so he put on an attitude of doing his best and being willing to serve dogs and horses. The chaos was settled, and of course he wanted to take this opportunity to let himself and his son climb up. Because Wang Rong is very proud of the court now, and he is his wife's brother, it is necessary to be accommodating to him in this matter first.

So he went to visit the eldest brother and begged for his son first. Although Wang Rong is now the chief of the Zhongshu system, he still serves as the secretary of the ministry and controls the selection of officials. He listened to Shi Hui's appeal, and immediately said, "The matter of the virtuous nephew is easy. He is currently the secretary, and he can be promoted on the spot and selected as a secretary. ”

The other party agreed so happily, Shi Hui was happy in his heart, and then opened his mouth to ask for his own business. It's nothing more than "I'm getting older, and it's not like that to be a casual horseman, a miscellaneous general or something, and I always need a serious official position." Something like that.

Wang Rong was silent for a while after hearing this, and said slowly: "Now there happens to be a vacancy among the secretaries, if you are willing, I will fight for you." ”

In the Jin Dynasty, the court officials were set up, and in addition to the glorious officials such as Taifu, Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions and the generals with troops, the real power was basically followed by the three princes and nine secretaries of the previous dynasty. The three dukes were Situ, Taiwei and Sikong, who were in charge of personnel, military affairs, and fortifications respectively. Jiuqing is the nine departments that hold specific real power, namely Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Dahonglu, Zongzheng, Dasinong, and Shaofu. Taichang is a ceremonial official, mainly presiding over sacrificial activities, and is also in charge of Taixue, Guozixue, Taishi, Taimiao, Taile, etc.; Guangluxun is in charge of the palace generals, the imperial catering institutions, the royal gardens, etc.; The guard was in charge of the imperial arsenal and the palace guards; The servant is mainly in charge of chariots, horses, and animals, and driving; The court lieutenant is in charge of criminal, litigation, trial, etc.; Dahonglu was in charge of the transmission of praise and the reception of foreign envoys; Zongzheng is mainly in charge of the spies of the royal family, blood genealogy, and the imperial doctor; Dasi Nong is in charge of Taicang, domicile land, taxes, etc.; The Shaofu was in charge of the royal project and the procurement of various royal materials.

Although Lieqing is not as prominent as the three princes, they are each in charge of one side, and they are all well-known figures in the court. Shi Hui was one of the nine great ministers when he heard it, and of course he was happy. After these two coups, there have been many changes in the personnel of the DPRK and China, and he didn't know which one was missing, so he asked: "Lieqing is very good, but I don't know which one is missing?" ”

"Zongzheng."

"Isn't my uncle joking?" Shi Hui hesitated, "Zong Zhengqing is in charge of the affairs of the imperial family, and it has always been a member of the clan, how can an outsider do it?" ”

Wang Rong smiled and said: "Indeed, in the past dynasties, most of the Zongzhengqing were served by the clan, but the situation is different now. After these two incidents, the court killed several kings, which will inevitably arouse the envy of other kings. Empress Jia didn't know that the clan's hearts were back, so she tentatively planned to grant this position to outsiders. ”

Shi Hui listened to Wang Rong's words, and he was also very right, and said with satisfaction: "In this way, there will be Brother Laonei." ”

Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy thanking me first." Although the elder brother is in charge of the ministry, his authority is also limited. The selection of officials below 2,000 stones, such as the virtuous nephew, the ministers of each cabinet and the orders under the Qing Temple, still have the power to draw up; But if it is said that the Lieqing and others are more than 2,000 stones, they have no authority to decide. It must go through Situ and even the emperor, and it must be done at the opportunity. ”

Of course, Shi Hui understands that now that the emperor is not doing anything, everything is decided by Queen Jia, so pleasing Empress Jia is the most fundamental. But if it is not specially arranged, Jia Nanfeng is not easy to see. Although she is the actual controller of the court, Sima Zhen is also a healthy adult, not a young emperor, and she can't listen to politics behind the court like the queen mother.

The queen is not hiding in the harem all year round. The imperial court held various ceremonies and sacrificial activities every three or five times, and most of these activities had to be attended by the queen. At this time, the queen can justifiably come forward and accept the worship of the ministers.

This time there was a good opportunity. After Jia Nanfeng and Sima Wei got rid of Sima Liang and Wei Qiang, and bit back, and planted all the blame on Sima Wei, in order to clear up their relationship, they immediately decided to restore the reputation of the two Zaifu and give the two heirs Qian Bao. Due to Sima Lianggui's status as the emperor's uncle, a grand funeral was held for Sima Liang. Jia Nanfeng also pretended to follow Sima Zhen and led his ministers to Sima Liang's mansion to mourn.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Rong and Shi Hui entered and stood aside. At this time, I heard Jia Nanfeng say: "Dazai, Taibao are upright and promising, and they are the pillars of the country, and I don't want to suffer this catastrophe for no reason, which really makes me sad." ”

Sima Zhen listened from the sidelines and did not answer. Although these two coups were not his original intention, the original edict was indeed written by him himself. At this time, Fang Jue regretted that he should not have listened to the bewitchment of this Yaksha wife. But even if he wakes up, with his little ability, in addition to being submissive, what can he do with Jia Nanfeng?

Shi Hui is the most observant of words and feelings, and this is a good time to defend Empress Jia, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the queen don't have to be too sad. The murder of the second duke was really caused by the unauthorized edict of the king of Chu, and even His Majesty was kept in the dark about this matter, and the queen was in the harem, and she was completely ignorant of the development of the situation. Fortunately, the emperor and queen Shengming were decisive and recognized the king of Chu in time and subdued him, which can be regarded as the greatest comfort to the second duke. ”

Before this, Shi Hui always had a vague attitude in the party struggle between the three forces, and never showed a clear political leaning, so Jia Nanfeng didn't know which side he was on, so he didn't treat him well. Now I have listened to such pleasant words, and it is very useful. She then pretended to say: "Although the same was killed by the King of Chu, unlike Yang Jun's domineering and chaotic government, the King of Runan and Wei Taibao were highly respected, so that the government was once clear, how can the court not recount the past achievements and give a pension?" The palace decided to restore the title of second duke, inherit it with his son, and give the palace of Runan 3 million money and 300 silk horses; Posthumously sealed the Duke of Lanling County, and added 3,000 households. With the heart of His Majesty. ”

Although Shi Hui knew that this was a superficial article that Jia Nanfeng deliberately made for others to see, he still pretended to be surprised and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, it is really beyond measure." Your Majesty and the Empress are so kind, the spirit of the second prince in the sky must be deeply comforted, that is, all the courtiers such as us, how can we not be grateful for Shengde? ”

The words became more and more pleasant, and Jia Nanfeng became more and more satisfied with Shi Hui. Wang Rong took the opportunity to praise Shi Hui again.

Jia Nanfeng was happy, and within a few days, Shi Hui got his wish and sought the position of Zong Zhengqing. Biyu was promoted to the position of secretary without any suspense.

When he heard the news that Wei Qian was killed, Shu Yan sighed and was filled with righteous indignation. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the unjust case to be revealed, and his heart was relatively calm. I had hesitated to choose between Sima and Shang Shucheng in Taibao Mansion before, because of Wei Qiang's death, no one spoke for him anymore, and he knew that his authenticity was not high, so he no longer had any idea of promotion. Thinking that since he couldn't get promoted, he would still focus on Shang Shulang's appointment.

Who knew that this was just his wishful thinking. He was transferred out of the Shangshutai, which was the general secretary of the secret, and went to the Taifu Temple to become a chariot commander in charge of the chariots and horses of officials at all levels. Chefu Ling is a petty official under the jurisdiction of Taifu Temple, nominally not lower than Shang Shulang's rank, but Shang Shulang's status is clear and obvious, and he is very valued by the world. Most of the people who can be Shang Shulang are extraordinary figures, many famous ministers started as Shang Shulang, and there are many people who have gradually reached the level of the three princes, so it can be said that the career is bright. The Chefu Order is much more humble, with little future, and is not taken seriously. Every day is faced with some trivial things. Although there is a certain amount of power, how can it be displayed in the Jin Dynasty, where the gate lords of the scholar clan are at their peak?

From a high slope with a wide view, it suddenly fell into a small valley with a narrow view. Shu Yan didn't care about this change. Shang Shutai's status is prominent, but the more prominent the place, the more it is the martial arts field of the scholar clan. Over the years, although I have seen a lot of the world, gained a lot of experience, and felt a lot of injustice, I also realized the powerlessness of the children of the poor family. Emperor Wu was better when he was alive, but now that Empress Jia is in power, it is even more chaotic. Rather than this, it is better to go to this little-known small government office and do something in a down-to-earth manner.

Some people died, but not completely......
