"The Prime Minister Has Wo Shi" Author: Pineapple Honey

Primer

Before this, He Houhan really never thought that one day he would stand below one person and above ten thousand—the prime minister.

When he knelt down to receive the order, He Houhan was immersed in the chaos of waking up from his afternoon nap, he thought it was a dream in a trance, and he looked quite dazed.Mr. He knelt by the side, his brow was sweating in the crisp autumn weather. He had been an official for more than ten years, and he had already soaked through his official bones. up.

The old emperor made it clear that he wanted to support his He family, but how can there be such a good thing for nothing in the world?Now the old emperor's body is getting worse every day, and he doesn't know when he will go to see the emperor, but the current prince is only twelve years old!In this sensitive period, every move of the old emperor will easily and even disrupt the power distribution of the entire court.Pushing the neutral He family to the highest apex is naturally because of the mediocre background of his He family, he will not be able to seize power, and avoids the danger of the young future emperor becoming a puppet emperor.But this move is very dangerous. If this key candidate is restrained by the major families, the result may be even worse. What did the old emperor see in his own son?

When Mr. He's heart was thundering and lightning flashed, He Houhan was respectfully receiving the bright yellow silk imperial decree, and then kowtowed his head to thank him in a polite manner. .Eunuch Xue, who delivered the decree, nodded appreciatively, and then said with a smile: "Young Master of the Heda family is very promising. His Majesty was very happy when he saw it. He thought that Young Master Ling, look at our family's mouth. It should be called Prime Minister He now, Your Majesty." I feel that the Prime Minister is really a timely rain sent by heaven to assist my Shun Dynasty, the Holy Majesty said that the Prime Minister is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and I hope that I will do my best to assist the Crown Prince in the future."

Master He was wondering when the old emperor saw his son, when He Houhan suddenly blurted out: "You...you...you are that...".

Eunuch Xue flicked his whisk, passed He Hou's trembling fingertips, his eyes lit up like a slippery whitebait, and he lowered his voice: "Prime Minister, did you remember?"

He Houhan immediately fell silent, his eyes turned, and his astonishment disappeared as if he changed his face, and in a blink of an eye he was a handsome young man again.When he opened his mouth again, he said calmly and calmly: "I made my father-in-law a joke. When I saw him that day, I felt that the Holy One was so noble that people dared not look directly at him. I felt awe in my heart. Today I learned that what I saw that day was indeed the real Dragon Emperor. It was a coincidence."

Hearing this, Mr. He felt stares in his eyes, and his mind was buzzing. Others didn't know it, but he knew it well. His son had been putting on a show since he was a child. Although he was talented, he had no ambitions. Where could he see this? With the holy face, he actually blinded the sage, wouldn't this, this, this be a deception?

In fact, what Master Heda thinks is true, but what he worries about is a bit biased. He only knows one thing, but not the other.

The thing is like this - the weather was very good that day, it was the end of summer, there was neither sun nor rain, the old emperor felt refreshed early in the morning, and it was rare that he was not sick, so he called the personal eunuch Xue Accompanying the father-in-law out of the palace is also considered a private visit in a micro-service.It just so happened that that day, He Houhan had served as a magistrate in Qi County for two years, and returned to Beijing to rest for a few days before going to the Ministry of Officials to report on his duties.Before I passed the main road, I saw an old woman and an old man sitting on the side of the road. The old man did not know what kind of illness he was sitting on while panting.He Houhan saw that the old woman was a bit puffy, not like a strong person, fearing that she couldn't help the old man, she went over to help her.After tossing around for a while, the old man looked better, and for some reason, seeing the folds he had tucked into the sleeve of his robe, he insisted on listening to him talk about the current situation.He Houhan couldn't resist, and saw that the old man was interested in this with a haggard face, so he picked up some thoughts and gains in office as gossip, naturally he didn't dare to really talk about the court situation.Afterwards, the old man pestered him and asked him his family name. He Houhan didn't want to argue with the old man, and seeing that the old man might not live for a few days, it didn't hurt to talk to him.

After such a commotion for a long time, the old emperor had an idea in his mind. After returning to the palace, he asked someone to call out He Houhan's imperial examination articles, read them carefully, and sent spies to investigate all the eighteen generations of the He family's ancestors. It was all clear that even He Houhan had a cat named Ahua, and it was clearly written in black and white on the secret report.

The old emperor thought to himself, such a person who has no ambitions, is not bad, has some talents, and has a smooth temperament. The most coincident thing is that he comes from a neutral official family, and he just happens to appear at this juncture, which is really just right.

So within a few days, the imperial decree came down.

In fact, the old emperor didn't know He Houhan's pretentiousness, but it was because of this that he had confidence in his heart. If he couldn't even see through him, how could he rest assured to leave it to the prince?The old emperor knew that this person was not a great talent—but he didn't need a great talent either.At the age of three, the prince spread the name of a prodigy among the people with a five-character quatrain. So far, there is no need to worry about the prince's talent. His son, his most proud son, just needs time to grow up.So he only needs a middle-of-the-road person who will not have double-mindedness to stand in front of his still young prince, who can cover the wind and rain with his hands.

The old emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a piece of brocade silk embroidered with the totem of rising dragon in purple and gold, and wrote a few lines with a brush: I am afraid that the new prime minister is still young, and he will indulge in private affairs and miss state affairs. , So he ordered He Houhan, the son of He's parents, not to marry a wife and have children before the new emperor.I was also afraid that the new appearance would not be convincing to the public, so I bestowed a purple gold fish bag and a golden rod with a coiled dragon to be used by the imperial court to remove dirt and dirt, prevent rape and punish evil.

In the end, the old emperor picked up the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which weighed a full two catties, and happily covered it.The last thing he did that night was lock the attached will, along with the spies' report, in a heavy lacquered box.

On the night when the old emperor resolved his worries resolutely, the bright moon was hanging in the sky, the breeze was rustling, and He Houhan was guarding his small garden contentedly. Let's go out for a few more years.

He didn't realize at all that just now, at the moment when the last cicada blew, and there was a "click" in the palace three miles away, his fate had been abruptly broken.

He would not know that his name had appeared in the suicide note of an emperor of the Shun Dynasty with great honour, and it was this suicide note that made him toss and turn in the future, and was in pain for countless nights. The suicide note of a bachelor for a lifetime, but also the legend of a generation of prime ministers.

But now, he's just a somewhat out-of-place young master of the He family, carefree, squandering his leisure time to his heart's content, this is probably the happiest and most beautiful time in his life.

what is the prime minister's wish

The emperor woke up suddenly at night, feeling refreshed all over his body. This feeling made him feel a little strange, as if the high-flying, high-spirited spirit of his youth had returned.Then he shivered, and his heart skipped a few beats.

The whole bedroom was very quiet, without a single sound. The old emperor was already used to it, but now he was a little flustered.It's late autumn, and the milky white moonlight flows into the hollow doors and windows, and condenses on the ground paved with black turquoise, which looks chilly.

The old emperor collected himself and called out, "Come here."

Immediately, someone slid in from outside the door, bowed obediently on the ground, and the voice came close to the ground: "What is your majesty's order?"

The old emperor had already sat up, and ordered: "Pass to the prince."

The deep palace, the chill of autumn, the thick night, the palace people who move lightly and quickly.All this was like a dark, smooth velvet, under which a gust of wind gently bulged.

The prince was awakened from his sleep by the palace servants, and then quickly became clear.His eyes were shining brightly, his back was so straight, he stood motionless in the empty bedroom, letting the maid cover his coat neatly and lightly, and tie the golden and jade hair crown on him.When he opened the door, he took a deep breath, and the cold air pouring into his lungs suppressed his anxiety and excitement. His unopened face was indistinguishable and beautiful, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

That night, the old emperor handed over a lacquered wooden box to the prince.

That night, the prince waited for half an hour in the emperor's bedroom.

This night, Dixie.

The next day, there was a national funeral.

Three days later, Prince Chongyuan ascended the throne at the age of 12 and changed his reign name to Anzheng.

Coincidentally, on the night of the old emperor's death, a secret document sent to the palace by the imperial spies in a hurry was lost in the history amidst the turmoil in the palace.If this secret document had been sent to the palace one day earlier, I am afraid that there would never have been a prime minister named "Hehouhan" in the Shun Dynasty. Naturally, the entire history in the future would also be rewritten, but most of the world is Such a chain of links, no one can tell how the cause and effect came about.

This secret booklet is about He Houhan. It says that when He Houhan was eight years old, he was sent to an expert by Master He to learn martial arts, etiquette and righteousness because of his frail health. out of school.After returning home, he began to prepare for the scientific examination. At the age of 15, he passed the examination as a scholar, and then he was released to Qi County as a magistrate for two years.

This paragraph was mentioned in the last secret report, and the old emperor didn't pay attention at that time.But this notebook also reported another crucial thing: this worldly expert also taught another disciple.This disciple was not mentioned in the previous notebooks, because the spies who visited only found his
