The court meeting of the Han Dynasty is divided into two parts, the big court meeting and the small court meeting.

There are many people who participate in the big court meeting, but it is only face; There are few people who participate in the small court meeting, but it is the lining.

After the reform of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, the Han Dynasty at this time was divided into the outer dynasty and the middle dynasty.

The officials of the foreign court are the three princes, the nine secretaries and the hundreds of officials and ministers, headed by Yang Chang, the prime minister among the three princes.

Nominally, he managed all the administrative affairs of the Han Empire, and the prime minister could even directly appoint officials below 600 stone in name without the approval of the Son of Heaven.

The officials of the Chinese Dynasty are Shangshu, Shizhong, Chang Shi and Zhong Zhong Loose Officials, headed by Huo Guang, the leader of Shangshu.

The officials of the Chinese and Korean dynasties were of low rank, often only 600 stones, and they were originally only officials who had been consulted to draft edicts for the Son of Heaven, but later they gradually became the most trusted ministers of the Son of Heaven.

If the foreign officials do not have the additional officials of the Chinese and North Koreas, then they are nothing.

Therefore, to see if an official is not trusted by the Son of Heaven, it depends on whether he has an additional official from China and North Korea.

Above the court, all government affairs were first discussed by the important ministers of the Chinese Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, and after forming edicts and orders, they were handed over to the three princes and nine secretaries and the secretaries to carry out.

In this way, Jiuqing's power can still be retained, while the power of the three dukes is greatly emptied.

Emperor Xiaowu founded the Chinese Dynasty with the aim of weakening the excessively strong power of the Han Dynasty; And weakening the power of the prime minister is naturally to pinch the power in his hands.

It's just that what Emperor Xiaowu didn't expect was that Huo Guang, the "Great Sima General, Lingshang Shushu", would appear, with his eyebrows and beard, and hold all the power of the internal and external dynasties in his hands.

In fact, there are not many large court meetings held in the front hall, but the small court meetings in the Xuan room are more frequent.

Every five days, officials with official positions in the inner and outer dynasties would gather in the Xuanmur Hall to discuss the government with the Son of Heaven.

It's just that whether it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, Liu He, the son of heaven, is now an observer.

As a "puppet emperor", it is not easy to observe the government affairs in a proper manner.

As for the days when there is no court meeting, when there is an urgent matter, the officials will go to the Shangshu Office to discuss and decide on an ad hoc basis.

Overall, less than 15 officials are eligible to participate in the small court meeting.

And today, because it is the first court meeting between the officials of the inner court and the new son of heaven, the officials who came are particularly neat.

General Huo Guang, Prime Minister Yang Chang, General Zhao Chongguo, General Zhao Chongguo, General Zhang Anshi, Guangluxun Cheval General, Du Yannian, the new servant, Dasi Farmland Yannian, Zongzheng Liu De, Shaofu Lecheng, Zhijinwu Li Yanshou, former general Han Zeng, Changle Weiwei Duliao General Fan Mingyou, Dahonglu Wei Xian......

It's all coming.

Liu He, who was sitting on the couch, counted it carefully a few times, and there were more than twenty people in total - in addition, there were some Shangshu who recorded the process of the court discussion and Yu Wuwu, who was accompanying Liu He.

Most of the more than 20 officials are in their forties and fifties, and the oldest are Zhao Chongguo and Yang Chang.

In Dahan, there is a clear limit on the age of officials.

Following the normal way of electing officials, officials will not be reused until they are about 40 years old.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, that is, you can be promoted quickly by virtue of military merits, bypassing the age limit.

Therefore, among the dozens of people present, Fan Minh Woo is the youngest, and the reason is very simple, as the son-in-law of the general, he has the most opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and he has made the most military merits.

In addition to Fan Mingyou, almost half of these dozens of officials are related to Huo Guang.

Liu He had to sigh in his heart again, it was really not a simple matter to uproot the big tree of the Huo family.

The big hoe and the small hoe can't stop for a moment.

……

After the bell of Weiyang Palace was ringed, under the auspices of Huo Guang, the "Auxiliary Minister of the Great Sima General and the Commander of the Shangshu Zhongfu", the small court meeting went smoothly.

The officials played one by one, and Huo Guang dealt with them one by one.

Everyone advanced and retreated, and all the princes of Gon looked calm and talked eloquently, and they had the courage to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain.

As for Liu He, the son of heaven, he could only listen silently at the top of the list, and there was no difference from the clay puppets in the temple.

Of course, Huo Guang, the middle father with extraordinary bearing, showed enough respect for the Son of Heaven.

No matter what the officials were playing, when the final decision was made, he would ask the Son of Heaven for his opinion.

And Liu He is also very interesting, and almost every answer is exactly the same.

"Father Zhong and Zhu Qing can decide, I have no objection to this matter."

What a harmonious scene of monarchs and ministers, if Emperor Xiaowu has a spirit in the sky, he will be pleased to see this scene in the court.

Although Liu He didn't say much, he listened very seriously.

Because this is the most direct way for Liu He to understand the whole picture of the Han Empire, it is much more vivid and detailed than looking at the simple words in the history books.

In addition, from the previous day, the Shoshu Department would send a copy of the important daily recitals to the Propaganda Office.

This can also allow Liu He to have a more intuitive perception of the Han Empire.

So, Liu He combined these new news with the old knowledge in his head, and gradually had an overall understanding of the Han Empire at this time.

In addition to Huo Guang in the court, after more than a dozen young people recuperated, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was restored to a certain extent, and the people finally lived a rough and peaceful life, and the number of wars against the Xiongnu and other Rongdi was also greatly reduced, and the number of good sons and daughters who were killed and injured due to the war was much less than before.

At this time, the big man is the best big man in a hundred years.

"The people are full, and the four are subdued."

It is a fair and objective evaluation.

From this point of view, Huo Guang, the auxiliary minister, has done a good job.

But, these are the best of times and the worst of times.

Under this peace, Liu He saw a trace of twilight and a crisis.

Although the people are in peace, they are still powerless in the face of natural and man-made disasters, and can only wait for death like ants.

Foreign wars decreased, but the Han also lost the motivation to forge ahead, and its control over the Western Regions weakened year by year.

The punishment was mild and gentle, but it also bred more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people continued to be tortured, and corrupt officials emerged one after another.

The family has become rich, but the land annexation is becoming more and more serious, the rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand.

Scripture flourished, but knowledge remained the privilege of the few, and the brilliance of technology became dimmer.

The court gradually formed an intertwined relationship, laying the groundwork for the future of relatives in power and gate valves.

……

If Liu He had not intervened in this history, then the national strength of the Han Empire would indeed develop steadily, and even surpass the period of Emperor Xiaowu and reach a peak.

However, after twenty or thirty years, the Great Han will fall sharply, falling from the sky to the dust, and then embark on an unstoppable downhill road.

And Liu He not only avoided the decline of the Han Dynasty, but also let the Han Dynasty embark on another path.

Being a good mascot in the court is the only thing Liu He can do now.

……

There are many things to be discussed in the small court, and they last for a long time, and they often have to be discussed for several hours in a row, so they must rest in the middle.

During the break, the internal officials will send some simple food to satisfy the hunger of the princes - not too extravagant and troublesome, but simple.

And today's food is different, it was specially prepared in advance by Liu He, the Son of Heaven.

This food is not anything else, but the meat sandwich bun that Liu He ordered the dining room to make in advance.

"Zhongqing has worked hard for so long, I guess my stomach must be empty, come, try my favorite meat bun."

The princes looked at each other, looking at the meat bun they had never seen before, and they didn't know how to do it for a while.

"You don't need to be polite, you are it." After Liu He finished saying with a smile, he generously picked up a meat bun with his hand and ate it in a big gulp, the sound of chewing was endless, and there was no manners at all.

However, the princes, who had been talking for more than an hour, were indeed hungry, and after hesitating for a while, they all picked up the meat buns and tried them in small bites.

Soon, the slight chewing sound became louder and louder, and then filled the entire Xuanshu Hall.

It's not too much to describe what they eat as gobbling up.

When Zhu Qing was choked on some dried meat buns and kept patting his chest, Liu He thoughtfully ordered someone to serve the mung bean soup that had been chilled in advance.

The Son of Heaven cares more about the officials, and the more loyal the officials are to the Son of Heaven.

This loyalty may not allow them to fight with Huo Guang to the death, but when Liu He speaks, they should be less opposed.

The name of the chapter is wrong, and it can't be changed, so let's pay attention to it......
