Of course, they went back to their rooms to rest that night, and Xue Chongxun had to go to the court to get up very early the next day.
Unexpectedly, she saw Sun early in the morning. She pretended to come to arrange affairs in the mansion and acted dignifiedly, but Xue Chongxun saw a hidden passionate look in her eyes.
Yesterday she said that this time was obviously impossible, and she could see it from Maimai's affectionate gaze.
It was fine before I tasted it, but after tasting the forbidden fruit, I am afraid that it is not something that can be restrained by reason.
The two of them were insincerely talking nonsense, and they were so indifferent on the surface, as if they were just an ordinary morning without surprises, and their relatives naturally got along.
But every teasing tone, every short look at each other, and every fingertip touching each other are so touching...
This is probably the classical oriental love?
She is very subtle. No matter how eager she is to be in harmony, she will not say that I love you and miss you. She will only say that Xue Lang concentrates on national affairs and returns early in the evening.
Xue Chongxun cleaned up and was dressed neatly, so he was about to go out.
Before this, Sun said everything was very regular, and he kept saying that he was always concerned about his well-being, but when Xue Chongxun was about to leave, he suddenly said: Xue Lang didn’t go to the study for some days, and the cherry tree behind the house bloomed, and it would only take one year to bloom.
Xue Chongxun paused and then pretended to be nothing and smiled: It would be a fun thing to come back in the afternoon to cook wine and enjoy the flowers.
Sun said happily: Before it snowed last year, I asked someone to bury a few jars of wine under the snow. The spring flowers are dug out and come in handy.
Xue Chongxun's heart was sweet, as if everything was very vivid when spring came.At this moment, he felt that his family was very good and he didn't want to go out... but he still had to go to Chaoli.
At this time, it seemed that the world was peaceful on the surface, and the new king and the people in power were harmless and easy to talk, but some people were like this because of fear. The car in front was not far away, and the smell of blood in the Daming Palace seemed to have not dissipated. How many people are really not afraid of death?
Xue Chongxun must participate in power operation. Even if he does not have to be overwhelming, he must maintain his influence, continue to grow and strengthen, and guide the pattern to develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.
Sun said a few more words, but Xue Chongxun went straight out without turning back.
A gust of wind made his neck feel goose bumps. The temperature was relatively low in early spring mornings, and it was cloudy.
The branches swaying in the wind and the vast white sky made him inadvertently remember the secluded corner behind the cabinet last night, a sheltered alley.
He took a deep breath and walked away with big strides.
Today is not the fifth day, so there is no need to participate in the dynasty, but the emperor wants to summon ministers in Xuanzheng Hall. Among them are not only people from the decision-making bodies of the two provinces under the Secretariat, but also officials from the six executive bodies of the Secretariat.
The Shangshu Pushe had already been undermined by the real power at this time, and his position had been vacant for several years, so he could only participate by the officials of the Six Ministry.
Cui Shi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was killed. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Xue Chongxun should go there. In fact, he wanted to go and see what the emperor wanted to do in person.
When the new emperor summoned the ministers for the first time, Xue Chongxun didn't hear anyone telling me about what was going on in advance?
Does he want to rule?
But thinking about it makes me feel unlikely.
……
There were 36 officials of the Six Ministry of Revenue (Shangshu Shilang) and 5 ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. In addition to Xue Chongxun and Liu An who was sent to Luoyang, there were three others.
In the past, Cui Xi was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other three had no say. Now Cui Xi is dead, and the one who can speak is Xue Chongxun, but Xue Chongxun was not interested in focusing on an executive department, intending to let Liu An come back to take power...
He has been walking in the morning recently, and this is what he wants to do, and he helped his own Liu An as the prime minister.
Now the power structure of the Tang court is very deformed, and the decline of imperial power is something that everyone can see. Originally, the power of one person should have increased, but even the power of the prime minister is declining.
The reason for this situation is the current situation of the Zhengshitang: First of all, there is no full-time prime minister. For a period of time, the official minister was appointed by the Zhongshu Ling, and his authority was the greatest, but the current left prime minister Lu Xiang was not the Zhongshu Ling first, and his name and power were limited; then Lu Xiang was a peacemaker again, and he had no substantial achievements for a long time.
As a result, the execution efficiency of the center was inefficient and the temple was a little confused. Even the bad policies of the previous dynasty such as the slanting title of officials were not completely cleaned up, let alone working hard to govern.
If someone wants to do something, he must first change the current situation of the Political Affairs Hall.
If you do this from the perspective of imperial power, there are only two ways to control the court: either use a talented full-time prime minister and use a special master to complete some political strategies, which is more worry-free. Just change the power of the minister regularly to prevent one person from becoming a big shot; or use the power to make a move, and form a series of power checks and balance factions in the court to achieve stable results, but this method is likely to breed party struggles.
The current situation is neither. It is a chaotic pattern and is very unfavorable to administrative operations.
Xue Chongxun is not yet stable, so of course he will not be eager for quick success and instant benefits to make some achievements, and he is happy to see them arguing with each other.
...Xue Chongxun entered Danfeng Gate and was in the outer court. At this time, many officials came out of the government office and walked north.After passing the Hanyao Gate on the side of Hanyuan Hall, I met several prime ministers and walked towards Xuanzheng Hall together.
Xue Chongxun asked everyone what to summon the emperor, but everyone couldn't explain it clearly.
He didn't think that Li Chengning wanted to take charge of the rule. Although he had ascended the throne, the imperial guards and the regime were not in his hands, and no one listened to him, and his closeness to Mao's politics.
And thinking about the day when he persuaded him to be the emperor in Linde Hall that day, he looked afraid, and he probably didn't have the courage to fight for power.
At this moment, Dou Huaizhen deliberately slowed down and gave a wink.Xue Chongxun slowed down and walked behind the crowd.
Dou Huaizhen whispered: The day before yesterday, I met Zhang Xiao (a eunuch from Xue Chongxun's party who had just served as an official), so he asked Zhang Xiao to persuade him to say a few words in front of him. He summoned the ministers today, probably because he wanted Empress Dowager Gao to listen to the government.
I see.Xue Chongxun nodded.
Dou Huaizhen smiled again: Last time I mentioned that I wanted the Empress Dowager to follow the government, but she did not agree.I just said that if people agree so, wouldn’t it seem like they are greedy for authority?You need to be more sincere today, right?
Xue Chongxun glanced at Dou Huaizhen speechlessly, and after a while, he said: If Mr. Dou did this, he might be suspected of forcing the palace. Today, the emperor thought it was instructed by the empress dowager, so he should not be shocked?It would be fine if the court officials didn't know about this. If everyone knew the mystery, they would probably say that Mr. Dou was not.
Dou Huaizhen looked around and said mysteriously: Zuo Xiangcheng pretended to be sick every day. The two old brothers (Cheng Qianli and Zhang Shuo) in the Political Affairs Hall were fighting openly and secretly, and they all wanted to continue the other party. This is no secret.What's the point if this continues?
He said with a look of conscience, "It's better to let the Empress Dowager and the King of Jin take charge of the overall situation." What I'm right?"
Xue Chongxun responded without comment.
After the two of them said that, they caught up with the other prime ministers in front. When the ministers saw Dou Huaizhen whispering to Xue Chongxun, several of them looked contemptuous. Naturally, they understood that Dou Huaizhen was flattering again. It was amazing to ignore the face in public.
Now Xue Chongxun has a clear idea and probably understands what happened today.
Sure enough, after everyone paid homage to the emperor, the emperor did not ask about any political affairs at all. He said readily: I am the second son of the late emperor ascended the throne, but I have not been able to govern the country with government affairs. I want to ask the elder Empress Gao to follow the government and wait until I am familiar with the government affairs before doing it myself...
Everyone was silent, but Lu Xiang stood up first and said with courtesy: Your Majesty think twice, and it is better to select talented people to assist you.
He just shouted a few times to make a gesture, and the other bureaucrats didn't take it seriously, let alone echoing Lu Xiangxian.
It can be said that if others are respected, they may be treated as a camp attitude and will be tragic in the future.
But at this time, another person also stood up. People were surprised and saw clearly that it was Li Shouyi, so they were no longer surprised.
What do you care about this guy who always says frankly and doesn't fear being scalded by himself, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water?
Li Shouyi frowned and said seriously: Your Majesty has already given up the title, why should you let the government go?
Li Chengning was interrupted when asked, staring at Ling Ran's unfazed Li Shouyi, who was not afraid, didn't know what to say.It’s not clear if they want to delegate power. This guy really doesn’t hurt his back when he stands and speaks.
I... Li Chengning raised his hand and looked depressed. I wanted to write a letter to ask the Empress Dowager to follow the government, but I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not be willing to worry about the national affairs, so I wanted to ask the ministers to write a letter together with me. If you don't agree, don't force me... Zhang Xiao took the memorial and let you see it.
After hearing this, a young eunuch walked down the steps with an article and handed it over to the ministers for his observation.
After a while, Zhang Xiao directed someone to bring a table and put the four treasures of the study. The meaning was obvious, and everyone asked to sign a joint signature.
I don’t know if it was Li Chengning’s own idea or someone else’s idea to do this. Anyway, it’s because of some insight, but it’s still not as sincere as Wu Zetian’s son.
When Wu Zetian was in power, in order to give up my mother to be emperor, the emperor made ten thousand people jointly write a letter, which was a bold and loyal heart.
The atmosphere was a little dull. Xue Chongxun suddenly felt that this was not done well, but there was nothing he could do. He turned around and whispered to Dou Huaizhen: If you have such a thing in the future, at least you must discuss it with the Queen Mother.
Dou Huaizhen should have felt the unnatural atmosphere, so he whispered in shame: I didn't expect that this is the only one that happened today. He was too brave.
The eunuchs arranged their things, and Lu Xiangxian stood there silently and said that he would not sign the autograph, and Li Shouyi immediately stood out.
The second one was Zhang said, who walked to the table slowly, raised and wrote a few words, and one prime minister took the lead, and others followed him to sign it one after another.
If the name is written on it, the position will be very clear, but if you want to be an official at this time, you can only show your attitude. Everyone is helpless, otherwise you should have resigned long ago.
Unexpectedly, she saw Sun early in the morning. She pretended to come to arrange affairs in the mansion and acted dignifiedly, but Xue Chongxun saw a hidden passionate look in her eyes.
Yesterday she said that this time was obviously impossible, and she could see it from Maimai's affectionate gaze.
