Chapter 142: Mountains and Rivers

Then there was chaos, and You Hongyin began to preside over the overall situation. He first asked Yang Fan to guard the palace closely, and at the same time notified the news of the death to everyone, and rang the death knell.

Yang Fan had no choice but to stand up and listen to the order. He understood the hidden meaning of His Highness the Second Prince. If someone refused to accept him as the Second Prince's succession to the throne, Yang Fan had to come forward to deal with it.Yang Fan himself is related to the Eldest Prince by marriage, and the Eldest Prince brought his private seal with him when he entered the palace, in order to deceive and order a small number of guards guarding the palace to obey orders.He originally thought that no matter which prince ascended to the throne, he, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, would probably end badly, but he didn't want the second prince to choose to entrust such an important matter to him, whether it was because he didn't understand or because of other considerations. It is indeed difficult to do the job of offending people, but it is just right to atone for it.

The ascension to the throne naturally still needs to go through a process, at least the emperor’s funeral must be completed before the enthronement ceremony can be held, but the enthronement of the second prince has been approved by so many senior monks in the court, and it is basically a certainty. The probability is not high.

On the way out of the palace, the elders were full of worries, especially Wang Tianzhao, who seemed to be much older in an instant.

After leaving the palace gate, Yang Rong and Guan Xiuze walked together.

Yang Rongdao: "Old Guan, do you think today's incident is too coincidental? Why did Concubine Zhuang and the Empress know so many things by coincidence, and even sent a messenger to inform us to arrest the criminal woman and the eldest prince?" All right."

Guan Xiuze said: "In any case, His Majesty has passed away. The important thing is not the dead, but the living. At least the Second Highness is not an arrogant and stupid person. He should grow into a qualified monarch in the future."

Yang Rong sighed, and said: "I'm not worried that the Second Highness will learn badly, but I'm afraid that he will listen too much to the woman's words, and you see that Concubine Zhuang today, she is not a simple character."

"That's why we, the ministers of the cabinet, need to control the overall situation, assist the new emperor in governing the country, and benefit the people of the world. The old man is not worried that the new emperor will be manipulated by the concubine, but worried about Wei Qian."

Yang Rong could naturally hear Guan Xiu's intentions, and understood that Wei Qian might wish for a weak emperor to ascend the throne. As a cabinet minister, he tightly held the power in his own hands. He said: "Then it depends on the few of us." .”

"Wei Qian is extremely capable. I'm afraid that the rest of the cabinet combined may not be his opponent. Now Wang Tianzhao, the chief assistant, is useless, and Cao Qing is a newcomer. We can only pay more attention to it." Guan Xiu is rigid, But being rigid has its advantages.

Yang Rong said: "Naturally."

When the two of them got into the carriage and drove home, Guan Xiu suddenly said to the groom, "Go and thank you, Sir."

No matter what he said, the coachman clearly knew who this Master Xie was, so he immediately turned around and headed towards Xie Zheliu's house.

The next day's court meeting, You Hongyin presided over it as the second prince, and the officials in the court seemed to have tacitly recognized the second prince's status as the supervisor of the country. As long as the enthronement ceremony was held, they would gather around the new king.

This surprised You Hongyin, he felt that at least there were people who disagreed, so it went so smoothly.He glanced at Wei Qian, who was with the old god, and had a guess. It seemed that his policy of showing weakness was effective. Wei Qian really hoped that a less assertive prince would be the emperor, so that he himself would have more opportunities to take power.

You Hongyin didn't care about these things, his weakness would only last until the enthronement ceremony.

Then the whole court was busy, first the funeral of the first emperor, the temple was named 'Wenzong', posthumously named 'Xiaohuai'.After that, there will be the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, who will be named "Zhongxing", and then there will be troublesome things such as the promotion of the empress and concubine Shu to the empress dowager.

It took almost a year or so before the entire handover and transition process was completely over, and You Hongyin also took this opportunity to re-enact some palace rules, for example, all adult princes were sealed off from the palace and no longer lived in the palace. Medium and so on.People who want to fight for power will always fight. A palace cannot trap people's hearts. It is more important to make the security defense in the palace airtight.

Although You Hongyin was very busy for more than a year, he quickly took the government affairs into his own hands.He has been reading Wen Zongzhu's comments for a long time, and he is very familiar with these matters.

It was only at this time that the officials realized that the Second Highness had completely changed after assuming the throne of God.

Although he did not act in a hurry as soon as he came up, made a major transfer of officials, and did not change the current policy to realize his policy ambitions, but the new emperor's familiarity with government affairs surprised everyone. A novice emperor who has just ascended the throne with no achievements for more than two years.

Wei Qian was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet, but he found that the new emperor was much harder to fool than Yang Jian.In terms of the big rules, the new emperor has indeed not changed, but the changes in some minor details are enough to shock people.For example, when the internal servants reviewed the cabinet's review of the memorials, it was no longer a simple spot check, but a brief summary record, which was submitted to the emperor for approval.Moreover, this kind of brief record is not just made by one servant, it also needs to be reviewed by another servant, and then submitted to the cabinet for review, and then handed over to the emperor for review and review after being correct, so as to help the new emperor understand all affairs better.

What surprised everyone in the cabinet was that Wang Tianzhao was not liquidated by the new emperor.Logically speaking, regardless of whether Wang Tianzhao participates or not, he is the grandfather of the rebellious prince, but now, Wang Tianzhao has only been stripped of his title of Grand Bachelor, and instead has been transferred to be the Minister of the Household Department!Huang Zhi, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has become a political counselor who has not been held for a long time. Although this official position is only at the same level as the monk, it is not as powerful as the minister, but he can join the cabinet as a counselor, and at the same time can write for the emperor. In fact, he is a 'candidate for internship' of a cabinet bachelor.

But in fact, You Hongyin just felt that Huang Zhi was really not good enough. The Ministry of Household Affairs was a very important department, and he wasn't afraid that Wang Tianzhao would make any waves. I will shine in this position until I find a replacement.And Huang Zhi was left in this position first, after all, he was also a person who supported his ascension to the throne, so he should not be treated lightly.

The new emperor's transfer of government officials has not been very intense, but the level adjustment and job rotation are relatively frequent. This situation has lasted for nearly four or five years. Gradually, the officials felt a different atmosphere.

Being an official is much easier.

It seems that the work is becoming more and more convenient, and the relationship with colleagues is becoming more and more harmonious, and the cooperation between various departments is also very smooth. There is no longer the feeling of being constrained everywhere in the past, and there is no longer the nervousness and fear of being put on party disputes in the past. concerns about the name.

But it doesn’t mean that everything is good for the new emperor. After the filial piety period, the new emperor obeyed the will of Emperor Daxing, married Xie Zheliu’s daughter, and was conferred the title of empress. But it didn't mean to expand the harem.

"Your Majesty, don't be lazy, today's work has not been completed yet." Xiao Yinzi was already No. 1 by the emperor's side, but he didn't feel any difference from before.

I still have to supervise this slacker to get up and work, instead of lying under the flower tree and waiting for the petals to fall into the wine glass, and then happily drink the wine from the fallen flowers.

It's too much to be so leisurely as the emperor.

Holding the wine glass and smelling the fragrance of the flowers, You Hongyin let out a "woo" but didn't intend to leave at all.

Little Yinzi changed the subject: "Even if you don't want to critique papers, let's go to the harem for a while."

"Forget it, I'd better read the brochure."

In the harem, there are only three women worthy of You Hongyin's attention, his aunt, his biological mother, and his wife.

If his father's imperial concubine hadn't followed his son out of the palace to build a mansion, or hadn't been moved out of the palace by You Hongyin, only the concubines who had given birth to the royal blood were concentrated in the palace where the prince was once housed. Several of them are still accompanied by young imperial brothers, and these imperial brothers still need to take classes in palace school until they graduate.

The affairs of the harem are now mainly handled by the empress. Empress Xie came from an official family. Although she was not very familiar with it at first, she gradually got used to it.

Forget about the queen, but the two empress dowagers are not fuel-efficient lamps. Since the fourth imperial sister got married, the former Concubine Zhuang and now the Empress Dowager Yao are extremely poor and boring, while the Empress Dowager Wenren refused to adopt a young empress. Brother's proposal, and there is no need to deal with the palace rules, and there is nothing to do.

People who are idle are always looking for something to do. The two empress dowagers fought vigorously at the beginning. The empress dowager Wenren was not afraid of the emperor's retaliation at all, and she fought the emperor's mother very neatly.But the two of them found it boring when they were fighting, and there were no other people in the harem to mix in, leaving the two big men who were stirring up the situation in the harem feeling empty and lonely.

In the end, they became close friends who cherished each other, and even joined hands to urge the emperor to accept the concubine to come in, so as to make the harem more lively, but the queen who was taught by Xianliang Shude did not object at all, and readily agreed, discussing with the two mothers-in-law enthusiastically Choose how to give birth to a woman for your majesty.

No matter whether the queen was pretending to be virtuous and generous, or really open-minded, You Hongyin was speechless and choked.This kind of pressure from his mother multiplied by two and his wife's urging marriage made him not know what to say, and finally it took a lot of effort to reject this time-wasting and meaningless thing.

"Forget it, I'll just read the brochures." You Hongyin had no choice but to start a day of heavy work. Thinking about it, there are at least three days of rest in a month. At least there is no morning court for these three days. The emperor who has no rest and only a few days of annual leave, the emperor of Huang Kingdom is still very happy.

The high-efficiency processing speed is not worth the numerous memorials, which started after lunch and did not end until dusk.

You Hongyin began to think about when he could proceed with his next plan.

After all, in Yang Yizhan's mind, ascending to the throne is not enough. Rejuvenating the country, leaving a name in history, and becoming an emperor through the ages can be considered as fulfilling his life goals.

Now, the unstable period of power alternation has passed, and almost the government has been sorted out by myself. The two imperial examinations have also added a lot of useful fresh blood, and the generals have also been sorted out. Although 100% loyalty cannot be guaranteed, But there should be no one who wants to be a rebel.

But this just means that he is firmly seated on the throne, and all the officials have recognized his ability, and he is no longer distracted.Even the ambitious Wei Qian was terrified by "Zhanying" in the past two years, and he changed back to the previous style. He no longer barked his teeth and claws to roll up his sleeves and wrestle with the emperor. It took two years before he gradually realized that Zhanying Although it was rekindled from the fireworks, it was not as scary as imagined, so it gradually stopped shrinking so much.

Seating the throne firmly does not mean that the world is peaceful through singing and dancing. The imperial court of more than a hundred years has left behind many sequelae, and now it is bit by bit eating away at the national strength of the Huang Kingdom.
