Chapter 227: Sealed and Happy
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, once without a dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The new king of the Qinghui Empire ascended the throne, breaking the spell of the previous dynasties, the new king and the old ministers were still in the same class, Merlin died in blood, and no one was implicated in the close ministers, and the princes and children who hurried back to Kyoto gradually lost the idea of climbing the dragon and the phoenix and suddenly becoming an upstart.
The political situation in the court was stable, and the palace was completely cleaned.
The old royal system, 3,000 palace maids and 2,000 eunuchs, the first king was not a good woman, and the number of people in the palace before his death was less than 3,000. The queen entered the palace, and sent most of the people to guard the tomb of the first king, transferred into the prince's mansion a group of old people, there are only 700 palace maids and 300 eunuchs in the palace, palace pavilions, pavilions and courtyards, several palace maids clean every day, Qinghui Palace is more deserted than the prince's mansion.
The Minister of the Interior, the first king, the middle palace has been hanging for decades, it is to follow the beauty pageant, the royal blood is prosperous, and the branches are luxuriant as the foundation of enjoying the country. The first king passed away, and the descendants were still sad and remembrance, and the courtiers took advantage of the opportunity to invite the fortunate and degraded to the remote palace as a palace envoy.
The next morning, the king told the civil and military officials that what he said was his main business, but he did not know what he was a minister at the right time. When the court issued a decree, the harem from now on to a thousand people, and the eunuchs shall not exceed three hundred, the palace safety has its own guards on duty, if the forbidden army is still difficult to believe, where there is no risk.
Speaking of the internal affairs of the palace, King Rui went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, the younger brother is ordered to run a new school, take over the Cuihua Palace's envoy Hua Yue to lead the document, and is willing to resign from his official position to teach martial arts, and open the Moon Shadow Academy in the suburbs of Beijing." The ministers discussed with the school, the civil department, and the military department, and the school was very good, but Hua Yue and other officials were all personally appointed by the former king, and they could not be appointed or dismissed by the ministries, so they asked for a decision. ”
The king looked at the transcript carefully, frowned, and asked, "Have you consulted with Qinghui?"
"Your Majesty, the county lord of Qinghui is sick and has gone to Qingping Lake to recuperate, and the younger brother thinks that he is deliberately avoiding suspicion of the affairs in the palace, and he strictly abides by the national law and family rules, which is really a model for the children of the royal family. ”
"Cuihua Palace opened the mansion, the first king Yun Qinghui county lord chose his own subordinates, only the palace made the weight of the position, it was out of the will. Today, Huayue was promoted to the rank of martial arts at a young age, opened a precedent for the phoenix, strengthened the Qinghui martial arts, and volunteered to cultivate heroes for the empire. What are the best of both worlds?"
"Your Majesty, the military department also received a document that Hua Yue wanted to open a sect and take the name Moon Shadow Sect, and Gao Yuan, the captain of the broken military academy, was the co-organizer, and he had submitted a resignation request to retire, and it also involved Huaiyuan Hou Yanning and the three generals and one colonel of the military department, and the county lord of Qinghui planned to approve his resignation, and the old minister asked for a decision. ”
The king compared the two documents, and the matter related to military power was too wide, so it was no wonder that the military department would play the details of the affairs in the court, and when he saw the proposed appointment of the general, his brows were inadvertently slightly wrinkled.
"Qinghui is the assistant to the military and political affairs, and since he has been allowed to leave office, he is allowed to do so. The generals who are going to take over are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they are all in the right place. Can the military department have an envoy to Cuihua Palace?"
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Cuihua Palace is not only a member of the county lord, but also a teacher and friend of the county lord, Wu Sheng used to be the minister of military orders and the head of the internal affairs office, and the old minister thought that after Huayue established the sect, it seems that he should still lead the palace envoy. ”
"The palace envoy is also a teacher and a friend, what he said is very true, Qinghui once worshiped the Phantom Sword Gate when he was a child, and his teacher was famous in Kyoto, and Huayue served as a palace envoy, so as to urge Qinghui to practice martial arts. King Rui is an uncle and a princess, what do you think?"
It is difficult for the Phantom Sword disciple to enter the gate of Cuihua Palace, and the Phantom Gongzi has not stayed overnight for five years, but he is unwilling to do so, and the left and right guards will lead the troops to send off the guests on time, if Qinghui does not know, who will believe it, if the monarch does not accept it, he will not be embarrassed by King Rui when he is embarrassed, he does not want to get involved.
"Your Majesty, Qinghui is the same as the prince, and he chooses teachers and friends for him, not for his subordinates. ”
King Rui evaded the words, and the king was about to take advantage of the situation to appoint, and the minister of the school department came out of the class and said bluntly: "Your Majesty said that the Phantom Sword Gate is famous in Kyoto, and the old minister is puzzled. In the past, the soldiers went to the grassland, and the children of the princes enthusiastically joined the army, but the Phantom Sword Gate did not send a person to protect the county lord, where were his disciples? After three years of conquest, the county lord personally risked arrows and arrows to regain the lost territory city by city, during which the danger can be imagined, the first king was worried about his difficulties, and selected more than ten martial arts sects to accompany the expedition, and where is the master of the Phantom Sword Gate? It has no size in the country, how can it be prestigious! There is no help in the same door, how can it be famous! The so-called name is full of Kyoto, and it is just to make friends with the marquis and sell their reputation. ”
The two ministers of the military department secretly admired the minister of the school department, and denounced the Phantom Sword Sect people, who were actually directly aimed at the king, the imperial conquest of the county lord led the troops, and the palace changed the county lord to quell the chaos, and his mentor and friend made great contributions to the country and the royal family, and so far there has been no reward, how can the ruthless and meritorious person be ranked with the hero. The minister of military order remembered the past, and once stepped on his fingers, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he had to make amends in public, but the old man was pedantic but knew the great courtesy, and I am afraid that it also hurt the prince's weakness, so he turned to the king.
The school's face grew gloomy and his mood was heavier than his face, and the minister's words touched a secret that he didn't want to think about. The queen insisted on asking for an order to send her beloved daughter to the standard camp, and it can also be said that out of selfishness, she was unwilling to accept the favor of the Phantom Prince, but why did the Phantom Sword Gate never appear when her beloved daughter was in danger, but after the situation stabilized, it was extremely cordial? Before the change in the palace that day, the city guards intercepted the Phantom Sword Gate people from entering Beijing, and they were still able to gather hundreds of disciples, and the Eastern Corps fought hard for three years, how could they not send people to help!
"If there is no advice from the Ministry of Education, if you want to neglect a few things, you will play according to the military order, Huayue Lizong still leads the Cuihua Palace envoy, Yu Wenjie has made more and more military exploits from the expedition for several years, and has been promoted to deputy envoy and Sima to assist in palace affairs. After deciding on the candidate for the envoy of Cuihua Palace, the king's face returned to normal, and when he saw the minister of the Criminal Department, he saw that he was silent, and passed down the decree: "The Criminal Department, send a shrewd dignitary to carefully check the list of disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect, and the household department will send someone to assist in checking its income and expenditure in the past five years. ”
"People in the sect are not allowed to hold military power, the empire has long been customized, the broken military captain resigned from the military due to injury, and he was allowed to do his own, and the name of the sword in front of the emperor was given by the first king, and he could not be deprived of merit and innocence. Hehe, Qinghui and the love of breaking the army are known to the world, why should the royal family cover it up, and the marriage will be completed after the expiration of the filial piety period. Breaking the army has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, because of Qinghui, so he can not hold important positions, now he is scarred and needs to recuperate, Qingping Lake has a beautiful scenery, let him stay here to recuperate, and help take care of the Moon Shadow Sect in his spare time, and the Cuihua Palace envoy can deal with palace affairs in time. If someone is nostalgic and unwilling to leave, they can resign from the military and go to various parts of the empire to visit the beautiful scenery at will, and leave the post to the meritorious soldiers. ”
"The minister's decree is that he does not dare to disturb Qingping Lake again. ”
During the three-year campaign, the military department did little, the king's words were full of sarcasm, the military academy at the front was bloody, and the generals in the rear were playing in the mountains and rivers, and the two ministers did not dare to say much. The king said that the identity of Gao Yuan, although he did not reward the duke, his status is far from being comparable to that of ordinary generals, he is recuperating in Qingping Lake, and the county lord will naturally visit from time to time.
After dispersing the court, he walked out of the palace gate, and the minister of military orders walked straight to the minister of the school department, and apologized in the astonishment of the hundred officials: "Boss, the martial artist doesn't know the general situation, and he offended a lot that day, so I apologize to you." The minister of the school department was stunned for a moment and then understood, pouted his beard and laughed: "Haha, I'm afraid that I haven't done a military salute for many years, let's go, call the Ministry of Civil Affairs to drink, you two take a big bowl, and the old man will use a wine glass to measure it shallow." ”
"Lao Tzu has been away from Beijing for more than five years, and no one dares to drink anymore!" The Minister of Military Affairs scolded and walked over, and the Minister of Civil Affairs followed behind him, scolding with a smile: "Old Military Administration, you have a straight face all year round, and drinking alcohol is even more annoying, if you want to go, serve a wine bowl, otherwise get out quickly, so as not to disturb people's drinking." ”
The inspector turned his head away, Quan Zuo didn't see the minister's disgrace, and King Rui left the palace gate quickly, not wanting to intervene in the courtiers' grievances.
Dugu's ruthless warning is still in his ears, the prince will not participate in the secret guard, and the king will choose the prince, but if the bottom line is crossed, the royal family law is ruthless. At that time, he didn't know if the British king was also warned, until the British royal palace guards coerced the princess, everything understood, and the secret guards hiding in it were deliberately provoking the incident, that is, to uproot the British royal palace and completely clean up the hidden dangers for the new monarch. If the county lord of Xi Miao hadn't had the protection of Dugu Ying, he would have escaped the disaster of the day, and he probably wouldn't have survived for a few days afterwards, and the royal children were more pitiful than the princes.
The so-called gentlemen have no party, and how many sages and sages are there in ancient times? Among ministers, there are bound to be intrigues, not all of them are personal grievances, and differences of political opinion are the real source of turmoil. Whether the disputes between the DPRK and China can be controlled within a reasonable range, and the ministers can compete for power and profit, so as to check and balance each other, and not let the important ministers completely turn against each other, and always measure the emperor's ability to govern, and live in a simple and simple way to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, it is especially difficult for the king to be more difficult than the minister.
When the first king was in charge of the crown prince for seven years, the courtiers all knew that the throne belonged, although the king of Rui was quite slanderous about his political views, but he never thought of replacing it, talking about poetry and painting to seek friends with interests, and never revealed his true thoughts on government affairs. The mother and son of the British king were consumed by the desire for profit, and gradually ignored the national law and family rules, and secretly bribed the three guards and generals, touching the bottom line of the king's patience.
The old king's comeback to see the court, obviously dissatisfied with the prince's achievements during the supervision of the country, the ministers of the court and the central government all know in their hearts, the king of Rui has only just started to compete for the throne, if it is not a proposal that the nobles and commoners are guilty of the same crime, without warning to trigger the imperial civil war, the throne will fall into whose hands it is really unpredictable, but it is absolutely not related to the British king, keen on military power to do whatever he wants, mutiny is by no means the situation that the old king wants to see. King Rui gradually showed his talent, and most of the ministers were friends of poetry and painting, and he easily turned into a team competing for the throne, and there was no suspicion of forming a gang, giving him three or five years to play his time, and I believe that the old king will re-examine the candidate for the prince.
The crown princess suddenly drove in front of the palace, let the Praetorian Guards surround the palace, and forced the king to hurriedly show the family background, when the prince was deep in the palace, life and death are still difficult to preserve, and now I want to come to the bottom of the heart of the king of Rui is still cold, at that time, if the king of England made a decisive move, the prince and he could not escape the poisonous hands, the lord of Qinghui quietly returned to Beijing to gather troops to quell the chaos, the king of England rebelled, the king of Rui was an accomplice, the two kings killed the prince, the national law and family rules were all destroyed, who will sit on the throne now? Only Duguying, the lord of Qinghui, was left in the royal lineage, and even if the stubborn noble court wanted to adhere to the convention of passing on men but not women, there was no choice.
The situation is different from that of the old king, and now Qinghui is sick and indifferent to government affairs, but everyone knows that the military power is in her hands, the palace has not yet been settled, the three guards of Kyoto have been purged, the four major corps of the empire, three are completely under the orders of Cuihua Palace, the northern corps has no important ministers to command, the old military and political ministers have returned to Beijing to take power, and the king of the four major corps may not even be able to command one.
Qinghui does not have the name of the prince and has the fact of the prince, the king's children are only one of her, there is no need to hold the prince ceremony, but because of this, the father and daughter will not turn against the emperor because of the imperial power, for today's royal family, King Rui has not been regarded as a descendant, but also became a side branch, after a few generations will eventually be lost in the crowd, it is not as good as the founding prince, and his children can be inherited from generation to generation.
Duguying's public proposal to limit the imperial power is tantamount to weakening the power in his hands, so that King Rui has to follow her, and many difficult things have to be taken the lead, laying the foundation for the continuous continuation of the Qinghui royal family.
Ling Huqing played a trick in the House of Nobles, if he agreed with the Marquis of Gaoyuan, the royal family would order him to retire, and take the initiative to disband the broken military camp to release goodwill, and the prince should have expressed it. Contrary to the expectations of the senators who returned to the House of Nobles, the four county kings took the lead in expressing their stance and agreeing to the feudal marquis after retirement, and the proposal was successfully passed, but the princes and senators were staring at the royal family, how to govern the fief after the feudal lordship?
With Qingping Lake as a fief, Xiaoyao Hou Gaoyuan only received taxes and did not care about the military and political affairs of the fief, and the school department opened the Moon Shadow Academy in his fief, and the military department allowed Huayue to open a sect, and all the disciples of the Moon Shadow Sect in the army retired.
Decrees, military orders, and government decrees were issued one after another, and the House of Lords exercised the power of feudal lords for the first time in history, setting a precedent for checks and balances on imperial power. Before the excitement of the patriarchs has passed, the main family has sent new people to take over, and the power and responsibility are too heavy, and the rights must be performed by the henchmen, so as not to express their stance against the wishes of the main family, and prevent the royal family from taking advantage of loopholes.
Noble, powerless, fiefdom pitifully small.
After Xiaoyao Hou received the order, he hugged his daughter and grinned, he had no position and no power, so naturally he didn't have to look at things, he had no Yulu and had a New Year's tribute, the Moon Shadow Academy occupied Xiaoyao Island, the taxes had his own government to ask for, and Qingping Lake also had some income, enough for him and his daughter to spend money.
"Eldest sister, the taxes must be paid to the government first, and the household department will be converted and allocated to the princess. Yan Ning joked on the side, she couldn't look down on Qingping Lake's tribute, Hua Yue lowered his face and reprimanded: "Pay taxes and serve, no one in the empire is an exception! ”
"Eldest sister, you are the envoy of Cuihua Palace again. Don't lose your temper, I'll fix the book to let me choose a good horse, the road was not open before, and I didn't deliberately cheat. ”
"Yan Ning, there are some things that the eldest sister wanted to pretend to be confused, there are no outsiders today, hmph, don't be smart but be mistaken by smart. If you want to establish a country in the grassland, you must first go to the cemetery and count how many students have died in battle! Heroic martyrs fight for the country, and their ambitions must not attract the anger of heroic souls, otherwise, the Moon Shadow disciples will take the lead in going to the grassland for trials! A martial saint with 100,000 elite horsemen can't stop the footsteps of the imperial warriors!"
Yan Ning didn't dare to raise her head, since she met and knew each other, the eldest sister Hua Yue was like a big child, playing more than business, and she had never spoken so harshly. She and Duguying will calculate each other, no one dares to provoke Hua Yue, not only afraid of the demonic force, as well as the strong strength implicated behind him, but also admires justice and affection, the prairie made her a marquis, Qili County left the camp in anger, and has always been impartial between the two.
"Eldest sister, I'm also at fault, I shouldn't think about controlling the grassland, the second sister is sandwiched between the Three Kingdoms, it's enough to embarrass her. Duguying took the initiative to admit her mistakes, Yan Ning was in a more difficult situation than her after all, Hua Yue knew that the thoughts of the two would not be eliminated by a few words, and nodded: "If there is a mistake or not, let it go from the heart and let it become the past." Whoever dominates the Luofeng Continent, the royal family is just a chess piece, if you two are willing to be the king and the marquis, I didn't say it. ”
"The royal ruthless recipe is subtle and profound, with your talent, you should have surpassed Gao Yuan, how could you cultivate to the realm of a martial artist, if you don't advance to the rank of martial artist, he will not want to recover. The secret of ruthlessness, I only know the surface, and you know the mystery better. And you, the martial saint is the teacher, and the cultivation is behind her, and you are the head of two families, isn't it a shame?"
Hua Yuefang sank his face, Gao Yuan got up and chased after Moon Shadow everywhere, picked up his daughter and slipped away, or the three of them would use him to dissipate their anger.
According to the drawings drawn by Yan Ning, the craftsmen supervised the craftsmen to transform the landscape of the house, and they were busy everywhere, only he and his daughter were two idlers, one wanted to help but was powerless, and the other couldn't help and made trouble everywhere. Soon Dugu Ying led the little county lord of Xi and successfully handed over the drudgery of taking care of the children, to everyone's surprise, Gao Yuan and the two children had a lot of fun, and they also imitated the great sacrifice and taught the introductory kung fu in the play.
"It seems that he is taking care of the child, but it is better to say that the child helps to improve the mood and make up for the childhood with crying and laughter. ”
Wusheng couldn't bear Yu Wenjie's begging, and came to the island several times to instruct Li Longbow to practice, and when he encountered Gao Yuan and the children frolicking, the old man joined in when he was free, and clicked Gao Yuan in a joke.
