At this, Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, accompanied the emperor to relax outside the palace, and not far away, a row of palace maids who looked like they were born passed by.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng asked, "The old people in the palace have almost changed, right?" ”

Of course, Yang Jin knew who the emperor was thinking about, Yang Jin replied: "Your Majesty, today is the last group of old people out of the palace, I arranged them all to go to the old palace of Bocheng to be on an errand, the slaves saw the old palace ruined that day, and they couldn't bear it, it happened that the old palace was also short of manpower, so let them go to the old palace to be on an errand so as not to lose this imperial mission, and there will be no place in the future." ”

Mu Sheng listened to it, and felt that Yang Jin's work was still quite reliable, in this era, being an errand in the palace, it was really a good errand for ordinary people, with preparation, good treatment, and a little better luck, like Yang Jin, there are not a few who are rushing away, Yang Jin arranged it like this, not only will not directly smash their jobs, but also give them a way out, and can be a good leader.

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job in this matter, let Yu'er enter the palace immediately tonight." ”

Yang Jin naturally understood and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to the slave." ”

Li Yu is naturally the grandson after changing his name and surname, Mu Sheng remembered that Li Yu was by his side in Taiji Palace and served him wholeheartedly, that delicate figure, that beautiful face, and a wicked fire in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

Changchun Palace, it was night, Yang Jin ran into the palace alone and came to the emperor's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Li Furan is here." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he instantly became much more energetic, and said, "Announce quickly." ”

Yang Jin hurriedly went out of the palace to summon Li Yuan, at this time the palace door slowly opened, and a woman wearing a fox fur held a fan to cover her face and entered, her gait was light, her body leaned forward and bowed, and said: "Concubine, Li Yuan, please see Your Majesty." ”

Mu Sheng was excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to gently help her up, Mu Sheng took the fan in the hand of the beauty, and saw that Li Yuan's beautiful face was slightly powdered, which looked even more glamorous, she just glanced up at the emperor slightly and quickly lowered her head, her face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little shy.

Mu Sheng stretched out his hand and gently lifted her chin, the two looked at each other, Mu Sheng smiled: "What? It's not the first time you've served me, so why are you so shy? ”

Li Yu glanced at the man in front of him affectionately, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not dreaming, right?" I never thought we'd see each other......"

Mu Sheng comforted: "Zhu'er, everything is over. ”

Mu Sheng looked at the fox fur on her body and asked, "Yu'er, this is the birthday gift I gave you at the beginning?" ”

Li Yu nodded embarrassedly and said yes, after all, she used to be the emperor's mother, and now the two are together again, it is too shocking, she knows very well in her heart that she can only be a maid by the emperor's side in the future, it is impossible to have a prestigious status, she is already very happy to survive, and she does not dare to ask for anything else.

Li Yu said softly: "Well, such a heavy gift, Zhu Er naturally remembered it. ”

Li Yu slowly took off the fox fur, only to see that under the fox fur, Li Yu was actually wearing a layer of light yarn as thin as a cicada's wings, and the graceful jade body loomed.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng instantly detonated the lust in his heart.

The two looked at each other, and Li Yu felt the emperor's gradually heavy breathing, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on the concubine." ”

Mu Sheng didn't say a word, and one picked up Li Yu and went to the side of the dragon couch to spread the clouds and rain......

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Yu had just waited for Mu Sheng to get up and freshen up, Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, reported in the palace: "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for. ”

Mu Sheng said angrily: "I know." ”

He sighed in his heart, this is better to be the emperor in Zhixian County, how happy is it to be An Lehou, how easy is to be an Anle Hou? Except for the fact that the person is not very free, he can't run around, and the rest of the time is very leisurely, and he usually has nothing to do with his wife and concubine to discuss life events in depth, to be honest, he is very happy. As for the lack of freedom, for a person like Mu Sheng, who was a senior otaku in his previous life, it is not a big deal, and he is very content to have a beautiful wife and concubine with him.

It's not good now, I'm called to work by the minister at every turn, and I have to work overtime temporarily when I encounter a big event, it's really annoying, I can't go if I don't go, and if I don't go to the emperor's living note in the history books, the emperor will record the emperor's lazy government, and the emperor has no right to look at the living note, which is actually invisibly supervising the emperor's diligence, and if you are a little lazy, then your reputation in history will be quite unbearable.

For example, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who were delicious and fun were like this, some of them were completely shameless, eating, drinking, and playing, playing with women and flying up, as for the reputation behind him, it was important that he had enough enjoyment in his life.

For example, Mu Sheng, an emperor who still wants to make a face, still has to deal with the government obediently, lest the name behind him be unreadable, and if he doesn't mix with a Ming monarch and holy lord, at least he has to mix with a more than enough guard, right?

In the Zhangtai Palace, Wei Wei Gao Zhong and several officials such as Zou Dan, the new Shaofu, gathered around the emperor to report relevant matters.

First of all, the new Shaofu Zou Dan went to the prelude, this person is also promoted by Huo Xiangguo, and he is one of Huo Zheng's cronies.

Zou Dan said: "Your Majesty, this time the imperial court sent 200,000 people to the Guandong to build the imperial mausoleum in Lishan, this is the money and grain estimated by Weichen to repair the mausoleum, please take a look." ”

Shaofu, one of the Nine Qings, is in charge of this matter.

Mu Sheng took Zou Dan's chapter and studied it carefully, and asked: "I have just succeeded to the throne, the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, there is no need to spend so much people's power to build the emperor's mausoleum, I feel that the number of people is reducing by half, cultivate slowly, don't worry." ”

Zou Dan said: "Your Majesty, the first thing the new monarch does when he succeeds to the throne is to repair the tomb, which has been the case in all dynasties, and the stakes are very high, and it must not be delayed." ”

Mu Sheng said helplessly when he heard this: "I am a monk, I have a long life, I spend so much money, use so much people's power to build the emperor's mausoleum, and I can't stop work in the middle, it is very inappropriate to waste so much of the country's financial resources if I want to build like this, I think it is better to reduce the scale again." ”

Zou Dan said: "Your Majesty, the mausoleum of the first emperor used 300,000 people to build the emperor's mausoleum at the beginning of the first emperor's succession, and the minister and Huo Xiangguo discussed it for a long time, in fact, this has been taken into account, and it has been reduced by 100,000 people and a lot of money and grain, and it can not be reduced anymore." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Zou Qing, can't you really be reduced?" ”

Shaofu Zou Dan said: "Your Majesty cherishes the people's power, and the minister understands, but Lord Xiangguo has already made up his mind, so he ......"

Zou Dan paused here, and looked at the emperor's face, Mu Sheng had already started scolding his mother in his heart, and he was still running to report a fart to me? Co-authored Lao Tzu is just a tool person who is responsible for stamping the process?

Mu Sheng said silently in his heart, don't be in a hurry, so he endured it, and now he doesn't have the capital to turn his face, so he has to say: "Well, since Xiangguo has been decided, let's do it according to Huo Xiangguo's wishes." ”

Zou Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will go and prepare to choose a site to repair the tomb." ”

Mu Sheng turned his head and asked Gao Chongdao: "Gao Qing's family, how did you discuss the abolition of the funeral system that I proposed last time?" ”

Thinking of the dozen or so poor women who were buried in the emperor's mausoleum, he had to do something, and it was urgent to abolish this funeral system.

Gao Zhong said: "Your Majesty, after the discussion of the ministers, they all feel that this matter is related to the ancestral system, and they have to be cautious, wait for the court meeting, and the ministers will discuss it in detail, Huo Xiangguo means, look at the opinions of the court, if the ministers have no objections, this matter can be done." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Good, good, so good." ”

According to Gao Zhong's meaning, Huo Zheng doesn't seem to pay much attention to this matter, as long as the court agrees, this matter can be pushed down, anyway, it is not their women who are buried, this is a royal matter, if it is abolished, it will be abolished, it does not matter.

Mu Sheng discussed with the ministers all morning, and decided on some things, and it can be implemented after sending the fold to Huo Xiangfu, in fact, the important decisions of the imperial court are still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the scope of discussion in the palace is actually just a process to facilitate implementation.

If Mu Sheng was not an adult and did not hold a pro-government ceremony, he would not go to him on the surface, and it would be directly that the imperial court decrees were all out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just like the story of Sun Ming, the prime minister of the Li Gong Dynasty.

Outside the Jin Palace, Guo Xuan, the original prince, is now the emperor's doctor, although the official position is not high, fortunately close to the emperor, even if the emperor has the heart to promote Guo Jue's official, he has to come step by step, it is impossible to upgrade the rocket, so he has to boil up his experience from the grassroots level, so that he can go up one level at a time, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Guo Jue entered the palace and waited for the emperor to summon him, and the person who came with him was Wu Xie, who was a staff member in the Changping Monarch's mansion.

On the way, Guo Jue said: "Old Wu, Your Majesty has been talking about you for a long time, and when I heard you coming, I actually sent me to personally pick you up into the court, which shows how much attention you are attached to." ”

When Wu Xie heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty treats me like this, I really don't know what to do." ”

Guo Jue sighed and said: "Now Your Majesty is also very difficult, although you have been in power, but Huo Xiang is dictatorial, I don't know when Your Majesty will have to stay up to the future." ”

When Wu Xie heard this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before Your Majesty will be the true Ninety-Five Supreme." ”

When Guo Jue heard this, he was surprised: "Really? I believe in you, and I believe that Lao Zhao will definitely be able to do this, and when the time comes, Lao Zhao is afraid that he will be under one person and above ten thousand people. ”

Wu Xie just smiled, nothing, it was a tacit acquiescence.

Guo Jue knows Zhao Shu and Wu Xie too well, with the two of them hiding behind their backs, they can even get the throne, let alone seize power for this young man!

Guo and Wu entered the palace to meet them, and the emperor got up to greet them.

Wu Xie stepped forward to pay respects, Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Mr. doesn't need to be polite, I have been thinking about it day and night, I finally sent Mr." ”

Wu Xie said with emotion: "Your Majesty greeted you with the Ninety-Five Supreme Rank, and Wu was grateful. ”

Mu Sheng said: "Sir, as talented as Mr., no matter what kind of etiquette I use, I am afraid of neglecting Mr. ”

Wu Xie was moved in his heart and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, Wu has nothing to repay, and he should help His Majesty achieve great things with what he has learned all his life." ”

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "With Mr. to help me, it should be like a tiger with wings, and Mr. can follow me for the Taizhong doctor?" ”

Wu Xie was silent when he heard this, although this official position is not high, but he can follow the emperor and influence the emperor's decision-making, which is already very unusual.

Seeing that Wu Xie didn't say anything, Mu Sheng thought that the official position was not enough, and sighed: "Don't blame sir, if you dislike the lowly position, there is no way, now I can decide on my own official positions are only these insignificant idle positions, I also want Mr. to have an official body first, and he will be long in the future." ”

Of course Wu Xie understands what's going on, the official positions of important functional departments can only be decided through the Prime Minister's Office, Huo Zheng basically grabbed the right to appoint and dismiss personnel of the imperial court in order to seize power, and now this idle position is also for the future preparation, the last sentence is long in the future, which means that political endorsement, as long as you sit firmly on the throne, you are afraid that you will not be able to prosper in the future?

Wu Xie said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, Wu is not here for the official career, Wu has already passed, if I was obsessed with the official career, I would not have resigned at the beginning, I am here today just to assist Your Majesty, get everything that should belong to Your Majesty, and ask for nothing else." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "Sir, I still don't understand, what are you pursuing, sir?" ”

Wu Xie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, what the world wants is nothing more than fame and fortune, Wu only pursues two words all his life, challenge, challenge the things in this world that he knows cannot be done, I have always hated the welcome in the officialdom, the reason why I am unwilling to accept Your Majesty's promise is so, it is done, Wu will return to the countryside, and never ask about the world." ”

Mu Sheng understood that Wu Xie was here to make friends, not to seek a career.

Mu Sheng got up and saluted: "Mr. can be a guest in my palace, no official or position, I only treat Mr. as a guest, how about it?" ”

Wu Xie smiled with satisfaction, got up and saluted: "Your Majesty's courtesy, Wu can't ask for it." ”

After talking, Mu Sheng said: "Since Mr. understands my current situation, can Mr. teach me how to break the situation?" ”

Wu Xie said: "Your Majesty, it's not the time yet, you still have to lie dormant for a few days, for Prime Minister Huo Cheng, you still have to be in awe, Huo Xiangguo and his people started from the end of the micro, fortunately the first emperor appreciated, only to have today's status, he got the power that many people can't get, and naturally he can't give up everything in front of him, Your Majesty wants to take back the power when he is slowly trying to figure it out." ”

"Since the Wu Gong changed the law, I have ruled the country with lawyers, and the civil officials headed by Prime Minister Huo Cheng are all from the lawyers, and the corresponding military generals are from the military officials, and now the military merit system of the Jin Kingdom has basically been in a state of semi-abolition, and there are fewer and fewer people who want to start by military merits, so they can only take the road of lawyers, and now the influence of the generals in the government and the opposition is getting weaker and weaker, so they will naturally stand aside, Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to uniting these people on weekdays, as long as they can stand by Your Majesty's side, Naturally, it can be done. ”

Mu Sheng comprehended: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, I will remember it in my heart." ”

Mu Sheng had a deep chat with Wu Xie and benefited a lot, watching Wu Xie and Guo Jue say goodbye and leave the hall, he also strengthened his confidence, Wu Xie's thoughts were similar to what he had thought before, but it all took time.
