Section 5 In the Name of Zhou Guogong (2)
In fact, only a few people have the right to speak and make decisions in the so-called government hall meeting.
In the past, it was the Queen Mother, Father-in-law Yu, Father-in-law Cheng, and Han Xiang and Lu Xiang.
Now it's the emperor, Cheng Gonggong and Han Xiang.
In fact, what is discussed is only the major policy, and the real specific affairs are the responsibility of specific institutions such as the Privy Council and the Ministry of Central Books.
And the big politics, in the final analysis, is the matter of concern to the few people who are qualified to attend the meetings of the political hall.
For example, the emperor is most concerned about the beginning and end of the Wen Party, and Cheng Gonggong wants to ask for merit and reward for the soldiers of the forbidden army who have made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos. And Han Xiang naturally wanted to fight over whether this reward would come from the imperial court's treasury or from the court's inner treasury.
When these specific directions are agreed by everyone, then it will naturally become the policy of the imperial court.
Today's matter is discussed here, and it is basically over.
The six Niu monks and children, Li Deyu and other six judges who were studying on the side all knew in their hearts that from today until around the autumn harvest, there should be no major events in the imperial court.
The struggle between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the source of the turmoil, has come to an end, and with the victory of the Emperor and the disappearance of Wen Minxing, the Wen clan, who had been on the stage since the reign of the Empress Sung, finally came to an end.
The next struggle for central power is mostly a run-in between Pei Du and Han Gang after his return, and whether the Cheng Guild will make any other moves.
With the fall of Manichaeism, the tug-of-war between the Yugong and the Uighurs will become calmer, and the stalemate will continue, and the Yugong will wait for the cold winter to come. Let the cold and scarcity bleed the remnants of the Uighurs silently, waiting until after the beginning of spring to proceed with the next step.
Li Xu thought that by the time Father-in-law Yu began to act, the Uighurs would become a line in the historical record.
It can be said that from now to the autumn harvest, there will be a rare window period both inside and outside, and Li Xu is ready to take advantage of this stable time to sweep away the last henchmen of the Wen Party, and take care of Bai Yujing by the way.
After all, Jingzhao Mansion is really too unreasonable.
Li Xu's current plan is to let the King of Shu serve as Jingzhao Yin, anyway, the King of Shu is just a doll, and it has been a practice for the Yu Dynasty to send the prince to serve as the honorary envoy of the festival or the history of the state and county assassins, and it is good to appoint Niu Monk or Li Deyu as Jingzhao Shaoyin to be responsible for specific ministries at that time.
When the rules and regulations and related institutions are rolled out in Bai Yujing one by one, Li Xu can be regarded as a fledgling.
As soon as the meeting in the political hall ended, Li Xu went back to the palace, and then ordered Chen Chaoen to pass Li Shen directly over.
This Gonggong Chen didn't have the courage to kill Empress Dowager Wen.
On the night of the Manichaean rebellion, he led people to keep watch by the Queen Mother's side all night, and finally gave up several times when he wanted to use the knife, and waited until the day dawned, and the smell of sweat and urine on the Queen Mother's clothes was all over the house, and Gonggong Chen hastily withdrew his troops.
For this matter, Chen Chaoen kowtowed several times to ask for guilt, but Li Xu didn't take it to heart, he had no intention of killing the queen mother at this stall, and sending people to monitor was actually just to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
Chen Chaoen's thoughts, Li Xu can also understand. Although killing the Queen Mother is a real feat, whether it is the emperor or Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Cheng, they will remember the benefits of Lao Chen, but after all, it is the Queen Mother who was killed. In the future, if we talk about sin, it is really hard to say whether it is merit or sin.
The emperor generously expressed his forgiveness, and Gonggong Chen continued to serve His Majesty.
As the theoretical heir of Yufuguo, Chen Chaoen's position in the palace is very delicate.
This subtlety was also to the emperor's liking.
Because of the emperor's summons, Li Shen quickly rushed to the Qingliang Palace, he had already known about his appointment when he was in the political hall before, and now he finally felt that his adventure had finally succeeded.
Li Shen knew very well that it was he who took a huge risk to express his attitude of resolutely purging the Wen Party, so it was his turn to do this errand.
The life of the family and their own career were gambled, in exchange for the appreciation of His Majesty and Cheng's father-in-law, and a bright future.
Although everyone thinks that the six judgments of the Privy Council will eventually soar, in the end, it is he Li Shen who comes out first. What family background, luck, and literary talent are not as good as this fight in the end.
"Come, Gongzhui. Li Xu, who had just returned to the Qingliang Hall from the political hall, took a sip of tea soup, and then saw Li Shen coming over under the guidance of the chamberlain.
Li Xu ordered someone to bring the tea soup that had been prepared, and then asked Li Shen to wait for a while.
Although Li Xu knew very well that the Li gentleman in front of him, Li Gongchui, was not the "sweat dropping grass under the soil" he knew, but the identical poems and backgrounds of the two still made Li Xu take great care of his Li gentry.
A great poet with humanistic care is the prime minister, which is good to think about. This was Li Xu's idea, but the emperor's historical knowledge was really not good enough. He didn't know that in his world without martial arts, Li Shen finally became the prime minister, and was known for his fierceness.
"Gong Zheng, please take a seat," Li Xu asked the six judges to be responsible for getting a procuratorate to clean up the city fox society rats in Bai Yujing, but the effect was actually not good.
The main reason is that there are many politicians and many people. Regarding how to organize Bai Yujing's market, the six people have their own opinions, and it is unknown how much of this is because of different political views and how much is because someone is working behind it.
But the final result was that in addition to giving a certain background to several relatives and friends of these six people, the "Yiqing Project" envisioned by Li Xu finally ended without a problem.
Therefore, Li Xu learned from the pain, reflected on the lesson, and realized that the so-called one-clear project was not as good as cracking down hard no matter what.
Strict, heavy, and fast.
The matter is determined to be one, not to the public. Li Xu called Li Shen this time because he took a fancy to the characteristics that Niu Monk and Li Deyu did not have, the kind of fierce demeanor that dared to act.
"I am determined to appoint you to be the prison envoy," Li Xu said to Li Shen, and the emperor pointed to Chen Chaoen on the side. "Lao Chen will put a name on you, but you have full control over everything. When you were dealing with the case of Zhou Guogong, you could report any difficulties you encountered and any difficulties in a timely manner. ”
Chen Chaoen waved his hand knowingly, and the attendant on the side immediately brought over a lacquered wooden plate, on which was placed a yellow and clear bronze medal, which was engraved with the words "Qin Ming Tidian Prison, Wind Hears Things, Jin Wu Can't Help It".
"This sign is put away first, Your Majesty has already instructed the guards guarding the door, as long as it is Mr. Li's face to the saint, no matter the hour. Chen Chaoen looked careless and handed the bronze medal to Li Shen with both hands. "If you have anything to tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as you say a word, our family will start to do it immediately. ”
Li Shen took the bronze medal and carefully put it in his arms, the weight of this bronze medal and the intention of the emperor it represented afterwards really made him play for a while.
However, he hurriedly lifted his robe and bowed down, kowtowed: "Your Majesty trusts Weichen so much, it's really ......"
"Mr. Gongchui, please. Li Xu asked Li Shen to get up quickly, kowtowing neither means respect, nor can it solve practical problems.
"Zhou Guogong's case, how do you plan to thoroughly investigate and implement it?"
The emperor's question, Li Shen has already had a draft.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to show me. Li Shen had long thought that this position was won for him by the emperor, and whoever the power came from would listen to whomever he commanded, which was an unbreakable truth.
What the emperor wants us to do, we will do it, this is Li Shen's draft.
"There are two lines to investigate, one is Xu Youzhi and Cui Qi, the villains who colluded with Manichaeism to trap Zhou Guogong to death, and the other is those city fox society rats who secretly colluded with Manichaeism. ”
In the cool hall, Li Xu slowly made arrangements.
