The next day, Mu Sheng put on his court clothes and prepared to go to the court to govern under Yang Jin's waiting, and he finally ushered in the first early court in his life.

In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials have been waiting here for a long time, Mu Sheng climbed the jade steps, came to the emperor's throne, he couldn't help but think of some things when the first emperor was still in power, and now the powerful emperor who once ruled the world has passed away, and his era has become history after all......

Mu Sheng was full of emotion in his heart, he glanced at the gorgeous throne, that is how many people have to fight for the position to sit up, Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he did not hesitate to sit in the position of representing the Ninety-Five Supreme, he knew in his heart that at this moment, the gears of fate have begun to rotate, and his own era is coming.

When the ministers in the palace saw the emperor ascending, they stepped forward to see the emperor.

Mu Sheng said: "Zhongqing is flat. ”

Although he is still an ornament, it can be seen that all the ministers in front of the palace are respectfully saluting him, even Huo Xiangguo is no exception, and he is still in a very comfortable mood in an instant, and there are some illusions of dominating the world.

Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, stepped forward and said: "Zhongqing's family, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”

Huo Zheng, the left prime minister, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, and the minister thinks that His Majesty's top priority is to posthumously crown His Majesty's biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, as the queen mother, in order to correct the country. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said: "What Xiang Guo said is extremely true, quasi-playing." ”

When the first emperor was buried, he only posthumously crowned Zhao Ji as the queen, and was buried with the first emperor and empress, and today Mu Sheng officially ascended the throne as the emperor, so he naturally had to go through the process of posthumously sealing his biological mother as the queen mother.

Huo Zheng said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book, please read it." ”

Yang Jin stepped forward to take the recital and presented it, Mu Sheng took the recital and read it in ten lines, it turned out that officials at all levels adjusted their appointments and dismissals, Mu Sheng hesitated a little, and then nodded and said: "Quasi-play." ”

Huo Zheng was satisfied when he saw this, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing to deal with immediately, when the first emperor was alive, the demon Zhang Daoling, the demon girl three-eyed patriarch, these two joined forces to deceive the holy hearing, and the demon words bewitched the first emperor to cultivate immortals and refine the pill, which caused the first emperor to be seriously ill and difficult to recover, and the affairs of the first emperor are inseparable from these two people. ”

When Wei Wei Gao heard this, he immediately followed behind Huo Zheng and said: "What Lord Xiangguo said is extremely true, the minister seconded the proposal, these two people have brought disaster to the country and the people, if the two of them are still retained, I am afraid that the holy name of the first emperor will be tainted, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

When the ministers heard that they were going to attack these two people, most of the officials came out to agree with Huo Xiang's proposal, because many of these two demons in the court officials had been implicated, and their hearts had long been itching, they didn't dare to say that the first emperor was not, and this anger naturally had to be sprinkled on Zhang Daoling and them, anyway, the first emperor had already returned to heaven, and no one could protect them anymore.

This matter was discussed between Mu Sheng and Huo Zheng before they succeeded to the throne, and Mu Sheng was just about to nod his head in agreement.

At this time, the former general Wu Chenghou Lu Sheng came out of the column and objected: "Your Majesty, the old minister has objections, Zhang Daoling, this demon Dao will be killed if he kills, and the minister has no opinion, but the patriarch of the three-eyed clan can't kill her, killing her is tantamount to destroying the relationship between our dynasty and the Laima Kingdom, which makes the southern countries think of our heavenly kingdom?" Three years ago, the old minister led an army of 300,000 to the south to conquer Taisha on the order of the first emperor, and tens of thousands of soldiers died in the south. ”

The ministers were stunned when they heard this, what Lu Sheng said made sense, and several ministers also came out to echo Lu Sheng's meaning.

Wu Chenghou Lu Sheng because of the alliance between the imperial court and the mountain puppet, the mountain puppet also officially accepted the canonization of the imperial court, and the pressure on the southern border was much less, and he was transferred back to Beijing to serve as a former general during the reign of the first emperor, which can be said to be an honorable return to his hometown.

Now that the whole court wants to threaten to liquidate Zhang Daoling and the patriarch of the three-eyed clan, Lu Sheng is naturally the first to jump out and oppose it, if he kills them all regardless of the indiscriminate results, the battle of the southern expedition to Taisha will be regarded as a toss, it will be a rich stroke in the book of his own merits, especially foreign wars, which will be in the history books.

At this time, Huo Zheng's younger brother Lang Zhongling, one of the nine Qings, ordered Huo Jun to step forward and said to Lu Sheng: "General Lu, these two people have indeed brought disaster to the country and the people, in order to revive a small country that has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, our dynasty did not hesitate to use hundreds of thousands of troops to march south, and the cost was huge, all of which were caused by these two people's evil words to bewitch the first emperor. ”

This remark immediately annoyed the military group headed by Lu Sheng, and several generals who followed Lu Sheng's southern expedition did not need to say much, and the generals also came out to help Lu Sheng speak.

When the right general Cheng Pu heard this, he choked Huo Jun and said, "Lord Huo, what do you mean?" Are you questioning the wise decisions of the first emperor? ”

At this time, the problem was kicked to the side of Mu Sheng, the emperor, and at this time, Gao Chong saw that the scene was a little difficult to clean up, so he suggested that Huo Zheng put aside the dispute and discuss it again.

Huo Zheng had no choice but to step forward and say, "Colleagues, this matter will be discussed later." "Although he is a prime minister, he cannot ignore the thoughts of the generals.

The court meeting lasted for an hour, and the ministers spoke to deal with some government affairs accumulated during the state funeral, and there was no major matter, and then the temple people stepped forward to announce their retirement from the court, and the ministers dispersed on their own.

As soon as the dynasty was dispersed, Yang Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Huo Xiangguo and several other courtiers want to see you." ”

Of course, Mu Sheng knew that this was to discuss the pending matter in the court just now, so he nodded in agreement.

In the Zhangtai Palace, the former general Wu Chenghou Lu Sheng, the right general Cheng Pu, the left prime minister Huo Zheng, and the guard captain Gao Zhong all came here to discuss matters, Lu Sheng and Cheng Pu are representatives of the military circles, and Huo Zheng and Gao Zhong are representatives of civilian officials.

The two sides argued here a few times, and in the end, Lu Sheng and Huo Zheng each took a step back and compromised, and Huo Zheng, as a representative of civil officials, could not directly tear his face with Lu Sheng.

Huo Zheng first said: "Your Majesty, the minister has thought twice, and immediately order the Tsing Yi envoy to arrest Zhang Daoling and the others first, as for how to deal with these two people, wait for the court to discuss the results before making a decision." ”

When Lu Sheng heard this, he still insisted on his own opinion, and said: "The minister also agreed to detain the two first, but it is necessary to be cautious in handling the relationship between the great patriarch and our dynasty and the Laima country." ”

In fact, Mu Sheng himself was also inclined to Lu Sheng's opinion, he also participated in it as the Immortal Emperor at that time, and knew that it was not easy to fight the Southern Expedition.

Mu Sheng saw that the attitude of the two was loose, as the emperor, he also had to take the opportunity to express his attitude, although he had no power, but he also had to gradually establish authority and strengthen his right to speak as the Son of Heaven, although this is only a small step, but it also has to be a pawn day by day, slowly accumulating, don't really be a rubber stamp, what others say is what.

Mu Sheng said: "I also feel that we should be cautious in dealing with the great patriarch, this represents our dynasty's attitude towards the countries of southern Xinjiang, and I will now issue an order to summon the Tsing Yi envoy to arrest the two." ”

Mu Sheng summoned the head of the inner court and ordered: "Yang Jin, go and announce that Bian Hu, the captain of the procuratorate, will enter the palace." ”

Yang Jin promised, trotted all the way to the outside of the hall to spread the message, Huo Xiang and the others saw that the matter had been advanced, so they also said goodbye and left.

Mu Sheng whispered softly, "Tsing Yi makes ......"

Before Mu Sheng succeeded to the throne, he still knew something about the bureaucratic system of the Great Jin Dynasty, but he only knew a rough idea of this Tsing Yi envoy.

The Tsing Yi envoy is considered an imperial secret guard, a bit of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard, on the surface obeying the command of one of the nine Qing guards, in fact, it is just a name below, the chief is the prosecutor captain, directly responsible for the emperor, the usual actions are the emperor's dictation to directly let them go on errands, all actions do not pass through the court at all, the appointment and dismissal of positions is also the emperor's final say, and foreign officials can not command them at all, in fact, listen to the name of the prosecutor school captain, you know, Tsing Yi is a semi-military organization.

This is why Mu Sheng ascended the throne first thing, Prime Minister Huo Zheng was in a hurry to let him order the Tsing Yi envoy to deal with Zhang Daoling and them, if Huo Xiang could command Tsing Yi to make him do it a long time ago, it is impossible to wait until now.

The Tsing Yi envoy was the first Jin monarch in the history of the Jin Kingdom, the first emperor, and was established during the reign of King Wu of the Jin Dynasty.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Tsing Yi envoy was specially used to collect military intelligence for the seven countries of the Kwantung region, until the third emperor came to power to further transform and improve the Tsing Yi envoy, after the unification of the world, the Tsing Yi envoy also assumed a part of the responsibility of supervising officials in various places, and had a certain law enforcement power, a bit of the shadow of the Jin Yiwei in later generations, but the power was far less than the Jin Yiwei at its peak.

At this time, in the corridor of the outer palace, Bian Hu, the prosecutor's captain, followed the palace people who led the way, and walked briskly all the way to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

Prosecutor Lieutenant Bian Hu, who is in his early forties, has a national face, and does not smile on weekdays, he used to be the confidant of the first emperor, and now the new monarch has succeeded to the throne, once a son of heaven and a courtier, whether he can keep his position depends on today's performance.

As soon as Bian Hu arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace, the temple people who had been waiting for him outside the main hall guided him to meet the new emperor, he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and followed the palace people into the palace.

Bian Hu raised his head slightly and glanced at the new monarch, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed and said, "Minister Bian Hu, long live my emperor." ”

The new emperor also took a look at the enthronement ceremony from afar.

Today, Mu Sheng also met the person in charge of the Tsing Yi envoy for the first time, and he was not in a hurry to order the arrest of key criminals, so he first talked to this prosecutor and lieutenant to understand how the Tsing Yi envoy operated.

Mu Sheng simply got straight to the point and said: "Bian Qing's family, I am also a newcomer, and I don't know a lot about Tsing Yi, can the Qing family solve my doubts?" ”

When Bian Hu heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will report to Your Majesty in detail the current situation of my Tsing Yi envoy, and it has been almost sixty years since the establishment of King Wu......

After Bian Hu's careful explanation, Mu Sheng's understanding of the Tsing Yi envoy was a little deeper.

In addition to supervising hundreds of officials for the emperor, the Tsing Yi envoy also has to investigate folk anecdotes, suppress folk rangers and violate the ban with martial arts, in fact, it is mainly aimed at monks.

When Bian Hu mentioned Baijiao, Mu Sheng asked, "I have heard of this department, when I was the prince, I heard that this department was specially used to deal with monks?" ”

Bian Hu bowed slightly: "Indeed, as Your Majesty said, in fact, the history of Baijia is much longer than the history of our Tsing Yi envoy, the earliest Baijia is called Juxian Pavilion, which is the seventh monarch of Liang State, and Liang Xuangong was founded, intending to accept folk cultivators to serve the country, and it has a history of almost 600 years. ”

"In the era of the nations, most of the countries have such an organization, until after the reign of Huigong, the Juxian Pavilion was renamed Baizhen, Baijia cultivated monks in the country, funded its cultivation, and specialized for the monarch to deal with the enemy monks, now there is Wenshan Pavilion in Baijia, there are three marquis sitting in it, the three marquis are all powerful monks in the realm of four phases, all of them are the pillars of my Great Jin, and later Baijia was merged into my Tsing Yi to make the internal Tsing Yi envoy under the command of the Tsing Yi envoy, and directly obeyed the emperor's orders."

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, this will make him finally know that when he was on the eastern tour with the first emperor, he vaguely felt that there were masters of the four phases in the eastern tour team, but he didn't expect it to be a person from the Baijia Wenshan Pavilion.

Mu Sheng said: "I really want to see what the three pillars of my Great Jin are like. ”

Bian Hu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will go and summon the three marquis of Wenshan Pavilion to come to meet our emperor." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly, after Bian Hu retreated, he remembered the relationship and department structure between the Tsing Yi envoy and Baijia explained by Bian Hu, which is quite interesting, in fact, since the establishment of Baijia for more than 600 years, it is a bit like a monk sect raised by the imperial court, but they are a sect dedicated to serving the imperial court, which is very different from the monk sect that has been passed down for thousands of years on the rivers and lakes.

Every year, Baijia will collect children with cultivation potential in the folk and send them to Baijia for training, and all the internal treatment of Baijia is linked to their own cultivation, and the lowest level is Baijia Hunters, and the middle and low-level Baijia monks are at this level.

At the upper level, if you cultivate to the level of a celestial master, the Hundred Hunter Monk will be awarded the title of Hundred Hunter Envoy, and will be awarded the title of Imperial Iron Eagle Swordsman, which is equivalent to the senior title within the Hundred Hunt, with five hundred households, and the treatment is equivalent to that of the county marquis, which is equivalent to the earl.

If a monk at the level of the Hundred Hunt Envoy cultivates to the realm of the four phases, that is, the monk of the Tianzun realm, he will be directly awarded the title of marquis of ten thousand households, and the actual treatment will be equivalent to that of a duke, which is equivalent to that of a duke, which is not available to many generals who have made great contributions on the battlefield, but compared to the rarity of the monks of the Four Elephants Realm of the One Realm, this treatment is really normal, and rare talents must be given super-standard treatment.

Since the establishment of Hyakari more than 600 years ago, it has also cultivated only six monks of the Four Elephants to the One Realm, in addition to the monks who fell naturally, the three marquis of Wenshan Pavilion who are still alive are now alive, they have experienced countless years, and have also experienced the rule of several generations of Jin emperors.

Although the Tsing Yi envoy is nominally the superior department of Baijiao, in fact, the internal relationship between Baijia and Tsing Yi is relatively independent, and the reason is not difficult to understand, that is, Baijia is old and has been established for too long, and he has not taken this superior department that has only been established for a few decades in his eyes.

The reason why Baijia was merged into the Tsing Yi envoy is actually a means for the emperor to check and balance Baijiao, the monks in Baijia have a long lifespan, and the supreme leader of the head of the monarch has changed dozens of rounds, they are still Baijia monks, especially the three marquis of Wenshan Pavilion, the old ones have experienced more than ten generations of emperors, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, can not change someone to be the emperor, just change a wave of Baijia monks, right? It's not realistic.

Cultivating high-level monks for the imperial court is too time-consuming, too resource-consuming, and it is impossible to absorb external monks to replace the hundred hunter monks, so the loyalty to the empire is very problematic, and the final solution is to choose power checks and balances, and divide power in a department with similar functions in a new stove, just like the Ming Dynasty's three factories and one guard.
