, government affairs can also be much easier, many people in Ziwei Temple think so.

Now the middle school is safe and sound. Although the midsummer of July is unbearable, Huimin’s task of urging the states to dredge the rivers this spring has been completed, and the farmland is nourished as usual. Besides, the rain and drought that have been worried about have not yet arrived. Therefore, Jiarui said that he will go to Beijing to escape the summer heat. Almost no one objected.Besides, Jiarui hadn't been there in the past few years, except for going back to Zhouzhou to escape the summer heat in the year of his wedding, so when he brought it up this time, the court did not argue for the waste of money.

Jiarui was seated at the top, seeing that the courtiers were discussing about the same thing, he said, "I plan to go hunting in Suzhou this time for summer vacation, and return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, the Northern Wilderness Qiang people pay tribute to Dayin, so let them go directly to Suzhou. See you in the state, when the time comes to hunt around the hunting grounds, let those barbarians see that our country is rich and powerful."

Jiarui paused for a moment and continued: "Although the Beiman has not recovered its strength due to the defeat of the previous dynasty, its stupid heart has been moved. I hope that after this shock, the Northland will be stable for a few more years. As long as we stay away from the disaster of war, The saved military resources are enough to support the world. I wonder if I can’t compare the achievements of the late emperor to the world, but I also want to use my meager strength to defend the frontiers and protect the country and prosper the country! Are you willing to help me?"

What Jia Rui said made the court excited. The courtiers did not expect that the young emperor would care about the country so deeply, and the heart of serving the country with fists made people excited.At this moment, all the ministers in the palace raised their heads to look at the young emperor on the throne, and the intimidating look in their eyes showed his heroism.

"The old minister is willing to drive you around for His Majesty!" After a moment of silence in the hall, Yan Shoufang stood in line and bowed and surrendered. "Chen Tongyi swears allegiance to Dayin!" "Chen Li Han is willing to follow His Majesty!" Under the leadership of several people, the ministers in the palace knelt down one after another, vowing to be loyal. call.

Naturally, Yan Shoufang, Tong Yi and others played a leading role in such an effect. It seems that it is very difficult for Huimin to overthrow what was agreed at the court meeting today.Every time in the past, Jiarui did not discuss politics at the beginning of the court meeting, but most of the issues raised by him were proposals that could not be responded by the ministers, so they would be put on hold in Ning's study soon without further discussion.

Although it is Huimin who is in power, the emperor is the lord of a country after all, and has inherent responsibilities and powers, so when the ministers of the court fully support the emperor in one matter, it is a sacred order, which has absolute execution force.But now the center of power is still in Ning's study, Jiarui can only make a turn for the better if he takes good care of the court meeting.

Looking at the rising atmosphere in the palace, Jiarui took advantage of the situation and said: "I am going out of Beijing this time to escape the summer heat, and I dare not enjoy it alone. The Empress Dowager Huimin has worked hard for the country these years, and I will serve the Empress Dowager together. How is it?" As soon as Jiarui said this, the noisy praises in the hall suddenly disappeared a lot, the official life was ups and downs, and the courtiers also had their own exquisite thoughts.At this time, Jiarui clearly had other motives for letting the Empress Dowager leave Beijing at the same time, but the reasons were grandiose and irrefutable, so they had to echo each other in low voices.

"The empress dowager has been taking care of state affairs for many years. Before I lost my filial piety, I only wished to escape the summer heat this time and serve my mother's side as compensation." Jiarui said this seemingly insignificantly, but pushed Huimin away. The possibility of staying in Beijing, if Huimin does not go with Jiarui this time, then he will indulge the emperor's deeds and lose money, and sooner or later he will cause trouble.

"The minister of rites, Gu Tingxuan, passed away unfortunately the day before yesterday. I was deeply saddened. However, this time I was escaping from the summer heat, and I also had to go hunting to meet the northern audience. The Ministry of rites is very important. Now there is no one for the position of minister, but it is an important task. Dear friends, see who is suitable ?." Jia Rui pretended to ask this question, expecting that none of the officials below would dare to recommend it. Just now, all the officials had fallen into the emperor's trap to support the empress dowager to leave Beijing together. Now everyone can see that today's court meeting is different from usual, and no one would Don't want to be the first bird.

"Responding to the emperor's words, the old minister thinks that Tong Siming can take on this role!" Yan Shoufang came out to answer again, but Taifu Yan was the head of civil servants, so it was natural for him to propose. "Your Majesty, Tong Siming has been an official for three dynasties. He is loved by the late emperor and is familiar with government affairs. Moreover, Tong Lao is familiar with a subset of classics, the etiquette of diplomatic relations, and the post of Minister of Rites must be competent."

"That's right, the name of Xuan Ying is the most famous in the capital. This time, Tong Lao returned to court. I'm afraid that the position of Shangshu will be condescended. I hope Grand Master Tong will not dislike the former students! What do you think, General Tong?" Jia Rui pointed out. Going straight to Tong Yi, not letting go of a single point, this time his success or failure must be tied to the honor and disgrace of the Tong family. "On behalf of the old father, I thank His Majesty for your love, and the Tong family is willing to follow the emperor around, so as to share the worries of the emperor!" Tong Yi replied after a while.

Jiarui is very satisfied with today's court meeting. Everything he wanted to do has been accomplished. Tong Siming has been a minister for three dynasties, and his disciples are all over the dynasties. It was also easier for Min to maneuver around.In fact, before the court meeting, Jiarui had sent a copy of the decree of appointing Tong Siming as Minister of Rites to Chenxi Palace, which was also a demonstration to Huimin, because Tong Siming was forced to leave Tong Siming by Huimin in collusion with Tong Yi, and this trip was bound to win. !

After the court meeting, Jia Rui went back to Chao Hualan Terrace to meet Wang Li, and ordered the late emperor's confidant, the old eunuch, to accompany him out of Beijing to escape the summer heat.Jiarui knew that Wu Xin was Huimin's eyes and ears, so it was fine before, but now that the two of them are in conflict, Jiarui will not leave this blinking nail by his side when he leaves Beijing this time.

Wang Liqiong has guarded everything related to Emperor Ziye all his life, and this time Jiarui entrusted him with the responsibility.Because Lantai is a collection of the world's treasures, it has been considered a forbidden place in the palace since it was completed, and people who protect the treasure are not allowed to leave. Therefore, Wang Li proposed to take this opportunity to trap Wu De in Lantai, so as not to let him go. Taking the opportunity to cause trouble in the palace.

Huimin already knew that Jiarui had made some moves, so when she saw Tong Siming's intention to return to the court, she didn't care too much. Everything was self-indulgent.After the summer, Huimin couldn't bear the heat and people were always listless, and after all, she was an old person. At this time, Huimin was reclined on the concubine Xiang's couch, enjoying the king's shame and lightly blowing the wind, nourishing her energy and concentrating her mind.

Now there is only hatred in her heart, and Hui Min doesn't care much about the power and position of her opponent at all, it's just a borrowed revenge tool.Huimin knew that this time Jiarui wanted her to go out of Beijing together to escape the summer heat, and she was probably leaving the Tong family with a chance to deal with Qinglian.Knowing the opponent's final thoughts, what is there to be afraid of?Hui Min slowly closed her eyes and began to plan in her heart.

Leaving Beijing

After the court meeting, the decree of bestowing officials came down to Tong's Mansion. Tong Siming had already prepared in his heart. This was the method he taught the students when Jia Rui came to visit that day.Although the Ministry of Rites is not considered an important position, it is also in the center of the regime. Tong Siming did not come here for fame. This is really a good place to return to the court and will not offend anyone.

After receiving the decree, Tong Siming went to the palace to thank him, and of course the first one to go was Chenxi Palace.Because of Huimin's fatigue these past few days, she drew a green bamboo curtain in the Nuan Pavilion next to Ning's study, and leaned on the couch to listen to the courtiers' affairs, giving people a very arrogant feeling.Having not seen him for many years, Huimin looked sideways at Tong Siming. Although he was in high spirits, it was hard to hide his aging state.

Huimin and Tong Siming had been balancing each other for many years before Jiarui became emperor. She never thought that there would be a chance to fight again. At this time, Huimin had already revenged herself and did not leave Tong Siming in trouble. After a few perfunctory words, she made people quit .

In the past, Huimin seized power with all her heart in order to gain more power to find out the whereabouts of Yan Lan and Lin Suyue.Moreover, Huimin turned his anger on the Moon Kingdom, so that he would have the capital to send troops to attack the Moon. Up to now, there are still heavy troops stationed in the southern border, but because of the dangerous terrain of the Moon Kingdom, there is no good way to break through, otherwise the Moon Kingdom would have been razed by Huimin long ago. .And Tong Yi was the general who fell on the moon at that time. The former general Jingbian spent ten years as a mercenary in southern Xinjiang, and he didn't come to Kyoto until he found Suyue's mother and son.

Before the summer vacation, Huimin didn't do anything because she was not feeling well, so she made up her mind to let Jiarui do the work.Huimin originally wanted Jiarui to seize power ruthlessly and without nostalgia, not to be fettered by feelings like Emperor Ziye, so Huimin's ruthless persecution in the past was also a test of the emperor's thunderous methods.Huimin loves Ziye deeply, so how could he seize power over his son? In fact, as long as Jiarui is willing, Huimin has never killed Jiarui once since Qinglian was called into the palace.

This time, Jiarui supervised almost all the affairs of the summer vacation in person. Huimin let go. Many papers sent to Xixinzhai were not approved, and Jiarui changed them. Jiarui also took this opportunity to install some people for himself. .The emperor and the empress dowager would have to leave Beijing for more than a month when they went to Beijing for summer vacation, so Jiarui ordered Yan Shoufang to act as the supervisor of the country during this period, so as to subdue the power in the court.Because of the matter of encircling hunting and diplomatic relations during this summer vacation, most of the elites of the court and the central government will go with them, and Jiarui believes that Tong Siming, who is accompanying him, will have a way to subdue them.

This time, Jiarui wanted Huimin to go out of Beijing with him, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to return the power of the harem to Empress Xiaochun, let the queen take power, and help him in the future.Xiaochun is the only daughter acquired by Qiu Nanshan, the guard of the Northern Borderlands in his later years. Her father has [-] mercenaries guarding the borderlands. She really should not lose her strength.

Before Emperor Zi Ye passed away, Xiaochun was taken into the palace at a young age, in order to blackmail and win over, so Xiaochun and Jiarui grew up together since childhood, the two are also childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is still very good .It was only after Jiarui and Xiaochun got married that Huimin acted too much, and Jiarui was able to alienate the middle palace. It was not easy for Xiaochun to waste his youth in the past few years, so Jiarui also spent a lot of effort to appease Xiaochun. pure.

Jiarui hopes that Xiaochun will be in charge of the harem, and he has a plan for Qinglian. The last time he recruited Qinglian into the palace was an imperial decree, but although Yuefu is under the name of the Ministry of Rites, it still belongs to the harem.Although Qinglian left the palace while offering sacrifices to heaven to avoid misfortune, she was not expelled from Yuefu.
