Chapter Forty-Six: The Temple Is Turned Upside Down

On the last day of the twenty-second year of Chengping, there was a heavy snowfall, and on the first day of the twenty-third year of Chengping, there was another light snowfall.

On this day, the nine gates were opened, and under the escort of the Son of Heaven's army and the Tomb Guard, His Majesty the Emperor's Luan drove back to the imperial capital from Zhengyangmen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Bai personally greeted him.

His Majesty the Emperor returned to the palace, and the new crown prince Xiao Bai presented the national seal, and then the eunuch Zhang Baisui personally passed the decree on the third day of the first month in Weiyang Palace.

This time, not surprisingly, the temple was shaken.

First of all, Duanmu Ruisheng, the former governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, was beheaded because of the crime of rebellion, and his family property was confiscated, although his son Duanmu Yu escaped from the imperial capital in advance under the protection of several henchmen, he was still arrested by Wei Wuji himself, and Duanmu Gongzi, who had been in the imperial capital for a while, was embarrassed and was about to be beheaded.

In addition to Duanmu Ruisheng himself, this case is widely implicated, and more than 30 officials, large and small, were arrested by the Secret Guard Mansion, tried together with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and then handed over to His Majesty the Emperor for personal conviction.

The second is that His Majesty the Emperor felt that the power of the Dark Guard Mansion was too great, and ordered the Dark Guard Mansion to be restructured, cut its authority, reduce the establishment, cancel the Ti Cai, from the original three governors, to a governor, the grade is lower than the first grade, and the same level as the left governor from the first product, and at the same time set up the same number of governors, the original Dark Guard Mansion Left Governor Fu Zhongtian as the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, the former Dark Guard Mansion right Governor Wei Wuji as the Governor of Tiance Mansion, Tiance Mansion also canceled the left and right governors and palm seal governors, only one governor was set up, and the governor was set up under the governor of Tongzhi and the governor, and the former Governor of Tiance Mansion Zhao Wouji served as the left governor of the Chinese army。

As for Qu Chang'an, the former governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, His Majesty the Emperor was grateful for the merits of his father Qu Cang, and only sent him to serve in front of Zhang Wuji's account in the Northwest Left Army, which can be regarded as a repudiation.

Moreover, under the protection of Wei Ban, the former governor of the former army, Sun Shaotang, the original former governor of the left army, was able to remove the pronoun before his official position and became the new former governor of the left army, so that the five major left governors finally settled down, namely Zhao Wouji, the left governor of the Chinese army, Zhang Wuji, the left governor of the left army, the left governor of the right army, Sun Shaotang, the left governor of the rear army, and Yu Kuang, the left governor of the rear army.

Whether it is the reform of the Secret Guard Mansion and the Tiance Mansion, or the appointment of several governors, taking out one piece alone is enough to shake the temple, but throwing it all at once, it will inevitably make the temple princes a little confused, but this is not enough, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind to turn the entire temple upside down, and after the dust on the military attaché's side has landed, he began to sort out the civil officials, and the first major thing is to ask for the resignation of the first assistant Lan Yu of the dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor has been gracious, retaining the title of Lan Xiangye's Taishi, which can be described as extremely honorable, and this pair of monarchs and ministers and apprentices can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end。

After Lan Xiangye said goodbye, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet was vacant, there is no doubt that the long-awaited Han Ge Lao was promoted from the second assistant of the cabinet to the first assistant of the cabinet, and from today on, Han Xuan has become the second first assistant of the cabinet since the founding of the Great Qi.

As for the vacant position of second assistant, His Majesty the Emperor did not choose to promote the other two cabinet ministers, but unexpectedly summoned Xie Suqing, the head of the Jiangzuo Xie family, to the court and serve as the second assistant of the cabinet.

Xie Suqing was born in the Jiangnan Xie family, and he has the title of Duke of Kangle, and his father and ancestors are all famous scholars and scholars and heroes from the dragon in the government and the opposition, and he himself is not inferior to his father, so no one raised objections to this appointment, therefore, the new cabinet was re-established, and there are still four cabinet members, but there is one less blue jade and one more Xie Suqing.

After hearing this will, many old people in the temple couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, it was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, when Han Xuan left Beijing in a desolate and desolate manner, who would have thought that after 20 years, this Han Ge Lao would actually make a comeback and ascend to the position of first assistant that he failed to get twenty years ago?

As for Xie Suqing, he has to praise Tao Hui's skills, decades of dormant hope have not been in vain, and finally in exchange for today's green clouds, although it is not the body of cloth clothes, but it can barely be regarded as "the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzitang" It's just that few people know that when His Majesty the Emperor has not yet ascended the throne, he has a very close relationship with this Kang Le Gong who is not much different in age, and Kang Le Gong has never entered Beijing over the years, and he has not helped His Majesty to monitor Jiangnan, whether it is the merit of affection or his own talent, Xie Suqing is more than enough to be the second assistant of this cabinet.

However, among these appointments, there is another appointment that is not so conspicuous, that is, the promotion of the emperor's son-in-law Xu Beiyou to the governor of the Dark Guard Mansion and the governor of the Tiance Mansion, and the title of prince and young prince.

The governor of the same knowledge sounds very big, and the official quality is also very high, but it is a false position, just like the position of the prince on Lan Yu, ranking among the three dukes, known as the head of the hundred officials, looking at the two dynasties of Great Zheng and Great Qi, but only Zhang Jiangling and Lan Yu were able to add the title of Taishi during their lifetimes, but when it comes to the real power in their hands, it is far less than the first assistant of the cabinet.

As for the crown prince Shaobao, it is just an empty name, and it has never been just the icing on the cake for prominent ministers, but it cannot give charcoal to those who have no real power.

However, Xu Beiyou is different, he is not just the emperor's son-in-law, he is also Han Xuan's righteous son, everyone knows that Han Xuan has no wife and no children, and even half of his nephew has never been, so Xu Beiyou is almost no different from his son as a child, and there are rumors that this Xu Gongzi seems to have a lot to do with the imperial capital Xu family, if not, why did Han Xuan accept him as his righteous son back then, and why did he insist on letting him be surnamed Xu instead of Han?

If this rumor is true, the identity of this Xu Gongzi is a little scary, Han Xiangye's righteous son, a relative of the Xu family, a son-in-law of today's family, and a combination of relatives of the emperor and the country, it is really expensive.

Of course, even if there is no identity of the Xu family and the emperor's son-in-law, with a single Han Xiangye, this appointment is not simple, you must know that after Han Xiangye worshiped as the first assistant of the cabinet, his momentum in the temple was unparalleled for a while, and now some people have called Xu Gongzi "Xiaoge Lao" in private, how is the meaning of this extraordinary?

In the eyes of most officials, Xu Beiyou was knighted because of his identity, but in fact, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor did this was only because of Xu Beiyou.

Because Xu Beiyou disregarded his safety and meritorious service, he first blocked Qingchen with Qingfeng, and then fought with Bingchen, a female sword immortal, and because Xu Beiyou killed the traitors Xu Jingwei and Duanmu Ruisheng with a single sword, and because the first emperor Xiao Yu was very blue-eyed for this young man.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also has a deeper consideration, in this change in the Yuanqiu Altar, Xiao Shen's departure for no reason has always been a thorn in Xiao Xuan's heart, although the reason is still unknown, but out of the emperor's suspicion, he can no longer fully believe in Xiao Shen.

As the saying goes, people must have long-term worries, except for Xiao Shen, there is no great monk in the Xiao clan who can really sit on one side, no matter how many masters in the imperial court are, after all, they are people with different surnames, only Xu Beiyou, who is his wife and nephew, son-in-law, and the future sect master of the Sword Sect, is expected to take Xiao Shen's position.

Therefore, Xiao Xuan has prepared a real gift for Xu Beiyou, and these official positions are nothing.
