The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

This feels like becoming the emperor for the first time. He will definitely work hard to lead the dynasty to a new height.

The ministers began to report one by one, some reports were indifferent, and the emperor nodded coldly to express his attitude.

Until Mr. Pan Ge started to report.

"Your Majesty, every midsummer, there are floods in the south. In order to stabilize people's livelihood and protect the harvest, the imperial court will send people to the south to inspect the dams in advance every year. This year, it is time to send people to inspect the dams. In previous years, he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Pan Daozu went, and this year I also recommended Pan Shilang."

Inspecting the river is just a walk. If nothing happens, it is a great achievement.

If there are problems with the repair of any dam, the Ministry of Revenue will allocate new funds for repairs. The inspectors will stay to supervise the work and make a fortune by the way.

No matter how you think about it, it's a good job. It's no wonder that Mr. Pan Ge strongly recommended his nephew.

The emperor was well aware of the twists and turns involved, and he wanted to start cultivating his own manpower from today.

"Shilang Pan is certainly good, but young people must also be given opportunities. I heard that the second best candidate in the new department is from Jiangnan. His grandfather also served in the Ministry of Industry, so it is suitable for him to go to the south for inspection. What do you think, Mr. Pan Ge?"

The second person in the new ranking list has just joined the officialdom and has not yet joined any faction. The emperor wants to vigorously promote him and train him as his confidant.

Of course Pan Ge Lao disagreed. He had been the chief minister of the cabinet for many years, and even when the Queen Mother was behind the curtain to listen to politics, she never refuted his suggestions. The emperor wanted to take advantage of him on his first day in office. If he couldn't resist, he would never The people who followed him soon became weeds and changed their families one after another. His old face was no longer wanted.

Pan Gelao disparaged the second place in Xinke from all aspects of experience and experience, and finally vowed: "Your Majesty, the south of the Yangtze River is a granary, and flood control is a top priority. You must not mess around."

What? He was already married and in charge, but Mr. Pan Ge actually treated him as a child and taught him a lesson in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This was unbearable.

"How can newcomers gain experience without experience? Master Pan, are you deliberately suppressing young people and not giving them a chance?"

Pan Ge puffed his beard and glared in an old-fashioned way. There were hundreds of new scholars in each class. If he dared to answer the question, he would be offending hundreds of rising stars.

"The veteran has worked hard for most of his life, and now half of his body is buried in the ground. The veteran wants to train the rising stars more than the emperor, so how can he suppress them and not let them come forward? What the veteran said is from the bottom of his heart. The emperor knows it clearly."

As Mr. Pan Ge was talking, he started to shed tears and was about to kneel down in the main hall tremblingly.

"Master Pan is old and has worked hard for the country for half his life. I am very grateful. I would rather have Master Pan rest at home tomorrow and enjoy his old age."

Is this a blatant attempt by the emperor to seize power?

Mr. Pan Ge, who was still unsteady just now, immediately straightened his back. He is only 55 years old. He can still work for another 20 years. Now is not the time to rely on his old age.

"The veteran is discussing the matter based on the matter. I think Pan Daozu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is the most suitable. The emperor can also ask other people's opinions?"

The emperor's eyes patrolled the hall, and finally fell on Mr. Meng Ge. This was his father-in-law, the man left to him by the late emperor, and the main helper in his struggle for power with Mr. Pan Ge.

Mengge Lao thought of the musk-scented beads from yesterday, and replied: "I think Pan Shilang is the most suitable."

The emperor was stunned and looked at Mr. Meng Ge in disbelief. Why didn't his father-in-law confront Mr. Pan Ge? This was not what he expected.

Then he turned to look at the regent Gu Shaoyu. This was her mother's loyal dog. The mother who was die-hardly loyal to him would probably be die-hardly loyal to him now.

Gu Shaoyu thought of the emperor's situation. Now the emperor urgently needs to seize power from Mr. Pan Ge. After he seizes it, he will definitely either deal with the Meng family or him.

Why not let the Pan family take the lead? Raising bandits should respect themselves! Let the emperor and Pan Ge's ancestors and grandsons fight slowly.

He stepped out and said loudly: "I second the proposal."

Not only was the emperor stunned, but Mr. Pan Ge was also stunned.

Before the emperor came to power, the royalists were worried that Pan Ge would monopolize power and were unwilling to delegate power. At every court meeting, they would go against him like crazy, fearing that his power would be too great.

Now that the emperor is in power, shouldn't the royalists stand behind the emperor and wave flags to help the emperor stabilize his power? Why did everyone suddenly become his fans, and he was the only one who followed suit.

Mr. Pan Ge suppressed his excitement and tentatively mentioned a few more personnel appointments and dismissals. These were all his students. He wanted to be placed in the Sixth Department several times, but Mr. Meng took the lead in opposing them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed today, Mr. Mengge immediately seconded the proposal, and the regent followed suit. Other ministers who did not know the truth did not dare to come forward. The whole court was full of people: "I second the proposal."

The court became Mr. Pan's talking point. Mr. Pan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Is he now in power? Did it come so suddenly?

After leaving the court, the emperor entered the Chengqing Hall of the Queen Mother almost crying. The Queen Mother had already known what happened in the court earlier, and she was also surprised by the strange scene in the court.

She comforted the emperor and said: "On your first day in office, the courtiers did not understand your ability and felt that Mr. Pan Ge's suggestion was correct. This is normal. As long as the emperor studies hard and practices hard and works hard, given time, the emperor will be able to keep his promise in the court." .”

Although the emperor is young, he is not stupid, especially after sitting on the throne for five years. His ability to govern may be a little green, but his vision of people and things is not bad.

He knew very well that Mr. Pan Ge was deliberately suppressing him and refused to delegate power easily. He said angrily: "Mother, you are a woman. When you first listened to the government behind the curtain, Pan Ge obeyed your mother in everything and established your authority in the court. Today, my son is in charge of the government for the first time, but Mr. Pan Ge suppresses everything." As for the son, he just doesn’t want to delegate power.”

The Queen Mother knew it well, but she could not tell the truth and kept comforting the emperor: "Mr. Pan Ge is only interested in the court. He is just worried that if everything is handed over to you, there will be trouble in the court."

The Queen Mother and the Emperor talked for a long time, but they were just standing on their respective positions and safeguarding their own interests.

The emperor knew that although the queen mother was his mother, she was also the daughter of the Pan family. In the end, he listened to the queen mother without saying a word, turned around and left, and the mother and son broke up unhappy.

After wandering around for a long time, the emperor thought of his wise father. He was afraid that on this day, the Pan family would not hand over power easily, so he decided that the daughter of the Meng family would be his queen. His predicament today is not because of Meng Ge. Is it caused by the lack of effort in the court?

Why didn't Meng Ge Lao support him in the court? Could it be that he heard that a newcomer was entering the palace in two days and felt that the emperor did not value the queen, so he deliberately did not help him?

The emperor was born with an understanding of the art of balance, and he quickly made up his mind to value the queen, and formulated a strategy in which the queen was used in the harem to contain the queen mother, and the Meng family was used in the previous dynasty to contain the Pan family.
