Chapter 77: Xuanzheng Yuan

Mu Sheng muttered to himself, "Mrs. Sun? ”

What does that sentence in her mouth really look like? What is the meaning? It's weird......

Yang Liu sent Mu Sheng to the upper room, and after waiting for him to rest, he left a temple person outside the door to keep vigil and withdrew.

Mu Sheng was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, although this house was indeed luxurious and comfortable, he carefully reviewed what he had seen and heard today, and remembered Wu Xie's words, "Your Majesty will be more and more favored to the prince in the future in order to balance it."

Looking at this rhythm, the emperor wants to spoil himself to heaven? It is the prince's guard of honor again, and it is the Taiji Palace.

Mu Sheng knew very well in his heart that the higher he flew, the worse he fell, and today's events would inevitably not be hidden from the people outside the palace walls, what does this mean by the signal released to the outside world? Intriguing!

The emperor is doing this whole job, it's not enough to put fire on the shelf, he has to pour oil into it, and the fire is not big enough?

The one roasted on this pot is his Changping Jun, and it is strange for the prince to see that he has a good face in the future?

It's annoying to think about! If it weren't for the master not to keep him, Lao Tzu wouldn't have stayed in this place, but recalling that his father and Yan Yuese looked like a loving father during the day, he really felt a little warm in his heart.

In fact, Mu Sheng also knew in his heart that who could mix in this treacherous capital was not a human spirit? The emperor was only using him to suppress the crown prince......

In the early morning of the next day, just after freshening up, under the leadership of Yang Liu, Mu Sheng came to the emperor's bedroom, and wanted to go to ask for peace, but he happened to meet Gonggong Lu who came out of the palace gate.

Mu Sheng said, "I've seen Gonggong Lu, I'm here to ask my father for peace, please let Gonggong Lu report it." ”

Gonggong Lu smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty is tired today and has not yet gotten up, and when Your Majesty gets up, the old slave will definitely convey Changpingjun's filial piety on his behalf." ”

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Mrs. Sun he met yesterday evening, Mu Sheng smiled understandingly, and left, anyway, he didn't sleep well yesterday, and he got up so early to go back to make up for sleep.

On the way back, Mu Sheng couldn't help but gossip in his heart, and said to Yang Liu, who was next to him: "Gonggong Yang, it seems that this Mrs. Sun is a celebrity next to her father right now?" ”

Yang Liu heard the words and said, "Back to Changpingjun, you are right, Mrs. Sun entered the palace two years ago, and now she is indeed a celebrity in front of Your Majesty today, and now Your Majesty has moved to Taiji Palace only to identify Mrs. Sun to serve in front of the palace......"

Mu Sheng nodded and said that he knew, thinking that it seemed that there would be a chance to tie up this Mrs. Sun in the future, a woman who could blow the pillow wind in front of the leader was not ordinary, even if it was to have a way out in the future, she had to lay out in advance.

After returning to the room, Mu Sheng slept until he woke up naturally, and as soon as he got up to stretch his body, Yang Liu flew over and said, "Your Majesty Gongzi has an edict to ask Gongzi to move to the Xuanzheng Yuan." ”

Mu Shengxin said it, he didn't even add the crown ceremony, in this era, he is still a minor, and he is not qualified to participate in politics, and now he is directly named by the emperor to participate in politics, and it is indeed intriguing to act like this.

The two of them went all the way through the layers of guards to the Xuanzheng Yuan.

Mu Sheng looked at the so-called Xuanzheng Yuan, which was actually a side hall cleaned up in the Taiji Palace, and there were also officials of all sizes walking inside along the way, and many officials also stepped forward to greet him when they saw him, and Mu Sheng also corresponded one by one.

At the Alimutai Conference, many ministers had seen the newly promoted feudal monarch.

Along the way, Mu Sheng found a familiar figure in front of him.

Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle hasn't seen him for a long time, and my nephew misses me very much." ”

This person is Shaofu Zhao Shu, he has never seen Zhao Shu since he became the king, Mu Sheng actually understands in his heart, it is estimated that it is to avoid suspicion, so as not to fall into the reputation of a court official who has a personal relationship with the prince.

Zhao Shu looked back and saw that it was Mu Sheng, his expression was a little surprised, and he arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Changping Jun." ”

Zhao Shu was puzzled: "What is the matter with Changping Jun coming to the Xuanzheng Institute today?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "At the behest of my father, I am here to listen to the government, and my father said that if you don't understand anything in government affairs, you can ask your uncle." ”

At this time, I couldn't see any difference on Zhao Shu's face, but he said solemnly, "Gongzi is polite, don't dare to ask for advice, Gongzi Dan has a question, Weichen will definitely try his best to answer." ”

Mu Sheng saluted and said, "Thank you, uncle, for mentioning it." ”

The two were polite to each other and went to the Xuanzheng Yuan together.

Entering the main hall, except for the vacancy of the main position, the ministers basically arrived on time, Mu Sheng secretly counted the officials in the hall, in fact, there were not many, only eleven people.

Zhao Shu was greeting a long-bearded man about fifty years old, and before coming in, Zhao Shu gave Mu Sheng a general introduction to the officials who came here to participate in politics, this long-bearded man is Huo Zheng, the prime minister of Zuo, and is also the first assistant who is currently in charge of the Xuanzheng Yuan, and His Majesty's most trusted right-hand man.

Mu Sheng consciously found a back seat and sat down, and heard the head of the inner court, Lu Gonggong, singing: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The officials immediately sat upright, shouted long live to the emperor on the throne, and began the day's reporting and government affairs.

Mu Sheng also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, this is the first time he has participated in court politics, and it is naturally full of freshness, the content of this court discussion is basically what is the allocation of money for project construction, army mobilization, official appointment and dismissal, etc., Mu Sheng's first time participating in politics, just to observe, he didn't dare to say much, so he quietly watched the ministers speak, and saw how the emperor handled government affairs.

After Mu Sheng entered the hall, he sat on the side and looked at his nose and nose, like an old monk entering the palace, and the ministers in the hall stepped forward one after another to report on political affairs.

At this time, a minister was in the prelude and said, "Your Majesty, the construction of high platforms in all counties in the world has cost a huge amount of money, and the finances are a little tight, and there are still a few canals that have not yet been built......

After the minister finished playing, the emperor who was on the throne turned his head to look at Mu Sheng, who was sitting in the back row, and said indifferently, "Sheng'er, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" ”

Mu Sheng heard the emperor suddenly ask him to speak by name, his mind quickly turned, and he recalled the official's recital just now.

In fact, these high platforms have no practical function, and are mainly used to declare the ruling authority of the empire and to deter the people of the Kwantung region.

Mu Sheng thought about it for a while, and the old captain who went to Yuejun to take the ship in his mind talked about the past of building the canal, and he had some opinions in his heart.

Mu Sheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that the construction of high platforms in various counties can be postponed, or simply stopped, Erchen thinks that the construction of canals will benefit the future in the present era, or it may be possible, but the construction of high platforms is not necessary, it is a move to work the people and lose money......

After listening to Chang Pingjun's speech, the officials present were a little surprised, and they exchanged heads and discussed one after another.

Mu Sheng glanced up slightly, and the emperor was expressionless and didn't speak.

At this time, one of the slender officials stood up and said to him, "Your Majesty, the minister is against it." ”

The official turned his head and bowed to Mu Sheng and said, "Changpingjun, this building of a high platform is a national policy set by His Majesty's Chrysostom, and it is also to promote the great martial arts of our dynasty to deter the old people of the Seven Kingdoms of Kwantung, which is of great significance, how can it be said that it is meaningless to work the people and lose money?" ”

Several more officials also came forward to second.

Mu Sheng saluted the emperor on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, Erchen dare not agree, Erchen thinks that the heart of the people in the world is the foundation of our dynasty, if the people's heart is not attached, no matter how much the high platform is built, it is meaningless, Erchen thinks, although our dynasty is said to be famous in the annals of history, but the old land of Kanto does not necessarily really obey my Great Jin, the sage cloud, to convince people, not to convince people, not to support people, to convince people, the center is happy and sincere. ”

"Erchen thinks that I am afraid that the old people of the Seven Kingdoms of Kanto are just lustful, and whether they sincerely obey the imperial court in their hearts, but it is difficult to say, Erchen remembered the old news that an old shipowner told Erchen when he traveled in Yuejun, and Rong Erchen replied to His Majesty......"

After that, Mu Sheng took out the old news he heard on the canal and talked about it with emotion.

"When the ministers went to visit Yuzhenzong, they traveled through the canal and listened to the old shipowner's story, I used to requisition the people of the old land in Kanto to expand the canal, and the imperial court urged the construction period to be very tight, so that when the canal was expanded, the people were tired and died, and the people frequently levied and issued conscription to the imperial court, and there were many complaints."

"Erchen thinks that the so-called Sheji, is the people's heart of the people of the world, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, since the unification of the world, our dynasty has frequently levied and issued conscriptions, the people's will is not attached, in case of forcing the people of the Kanto region, the smoke is everywhere, but how is it good?"

"Now I am the Son of Heaven in the Great Jin Dynasty, my Jin people after several generations of efforts, hard work eastward, finally make the world unified, the people of the world will finally be free from the suffering of war, this is the great benevolence, righteousness, the son thinks that my dynasty should rest and recuperate with the people, and appease the old people of Kanto is the best policy."

After Mu Sheng finished his generous speech, the needles in the hall could be heard, and the courtiers were silent and looked at each other......

He thought about it for a long time, and finally understood a little, this is the emperor's national policy, isn't his current remarks to completely negate the emperor's governance strategy?

Mu Sheng's mind turned, and he was so frightened that he quickly glanced at the expressionless emperor on the throne, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, trying to make up for it.

Mu Sheng said in a panicked tone, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years, military affairs, sons and daughters should not talk nonsense when they are young, but it is just a matter of excitement, please forgive your father." ”

At this time, the emperor on the throne said leisurely, "It's okay, the speaker is not guilty, you step down!" ”

Mu Sheng kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Before he could return to his seat, a person followed him and said, "The minister agrees with Changping Jun's opinion, and the minister seconds it." ”

Mu Sheng looked back, it turned out to be his uncle Shaofu Zhao Shu, and then two more officials came up to second, agreeing with him, compared with the people who opposed him, it was still much less.

At the court meeting, the ministers who held the two schools of view quoted the scriptures and scolded each other a few times, but the emperor was calm and did not express his opinion, and before the result was discussed, the emperor announced that he would disperse the dynasty and return to the palace, and as usual, he still pulled Prime Minister Huo Zheng and several important officials to a small meeting.

Mu Sheng scratched his head and left the palace to go home, when an official behind him called him, and Mu Sheng turned his head to see that it was the first official in the palace to slap him.

The official stepped forward and said, "The servant Sima Tan, I have seen Changping Jun, Changping Jun's remarks made the official admire, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, it is very good, in fact, the lower officials are also very opposed to building a high platform, but they don't dare to really speak so bluntly......"

Mu Sheng was a little strange, and said, "Why doesn't Lord Sima agree with my point of view, but he is the first to stand up against it?" ”

Sima Tan reminded earnestly, "Changpingjun, this is a matter set by His Majesty, there is no room for maneuver, Changpingjun is now a saint, don't easily touch Your Majesty's moldy ......"

Mu Sheng sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Master Sima, for mentioning it." ”

Mu Sheng sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, these people in the officialdom are really exquisite.

Mu Sheng didn't hear it at the time, but instead made a generous statement...... He couldn't help but have a good impression of Sima Tan.

Sometimes those who scold you in person, give opinions, and make you unable to get off the stage, may be helping you.

Some people who smile at you and praise you may also be plotting against you behind your back.

On the way back, Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, hey! Forget it, it's better to go up the mountain and cultivate, this kind of place is not the place where people like him should stay.

An hour later, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Mu Sheng Shi Shiran came out of the Xuanzheng Yuan, and several important officials such as Huo Zheng, the prime minister of Zuo, were summoned by His Majesty to discuss something.
