As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Then some people said that if the cabinet can't, can the supervisor of ceremonies do it?Anyway, the supervisor of ceremonies holds the right to wear red.

This suggestion is even more outrageous, because the supervisor of ceremonies has always been the eunuch's purview. If Huamanlou wants to take charge of this place, he must cut it off, changing from Uncle Hua to a flower partner...

Of course, since the Supervisor of Ceremonies is the emperor's private department after all, if the emperor is willing, Huamanlou can take over as a writer without giving up, which makes sense given his status as the adopted son of the emperor.

But if this is the case, it will offend a large group of courtiers in the palace again—at least Dacheng's eyes became more and more unkind after hearing this. Although his anger was directed at the civil servants, the supervisor of ceremonies was not the same. One piece of iron...

Hearing this, not only Uncle Huai An understood the reason why this group of people made so many troubles this time, Elder Wen Ge also exchanged glances with Duke Ying.

Obviously flattering!

It would be great if he could put Huamanlou up, but if he couldn't put it up, he would provoke a large group of people. This kind of method...

Who played it?

When the old three frowned and thought, someone jumped out and called out an official position that had long since disappeared in the long river of history: Shen Zhi Zheng Shi.

455. Activities

The official position of participating in political affairs sounds frustrating, but it is actually a rather scary position. For example, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, participating in politics was one of the highest administrative officials.

Although there are some differences in terms of power in different times, but generally it can be regarded as a deputy prime minister, occasionally acting as a prime minister, and its representatives are familiar to those with a little culture: Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu.

Da Zhao had this official position when he founded the country, but it was abolished soon, and was thrown into the long river of history like a prime minister. With the development of the times, this part of power naturally fell into the hands of the cabinet.

According to the system, Dazhao's political counselor belongs to Zhongshu Province, which corresponds to Huamanlou's Cong Erpin in terms of rank, and in terms of its functions, it can generally manage any affairs in the court—it is said to be a prime minister If you are half an emperor, then participating in politics is generally equivalent to being a junior half emperor. To some extent, this power is higher than that of a cabinet scholar.

After all, the cabinet still has a supervisor of ceremonies to check and balance, even a master like Zhang Juzheng had to cooperate with Feng Bao, the supervisor of ceremonies at that time, and some academicians were generally reduced to chief assistants because of the unclear division of power in the cabinet. The assistant of a bachelor, such as Shen Shihang in the period of Zhang Juzheng.

So it is conceivable how much hatred the sudden proposal of the vice-minister of the Zhongshu Province, which had been abolished long ago, would bring to Huamanlou.

So in reality, if Hua Manlou is really appointed as a political adviser, can he exercise the power of deputy prime minister?

No, because he doesn't have any foundation in the court at all, and the cabinet never wants his powers to be divided, and the six ministries can also do what they want, so let's not talk about participating in politics. It's just like getting an empty job.

but……

Emperor Guangxing was a little moved.

Since Hua Manlou made his debut, no matter how you look at it, he has saved Emperor Guangxing a lot of effort—earning money, beating the enemy, reforming the military system, and teaching the prince. He is a rare and versatile type. talent.

What is the most important skill for a monarch?

It's very simple, just put the right people in the right place and make the whole court run smoothly and smoothly.

So a long time ago—roughly when Huamanlou settled the Oarat tribute, Emperor Guangxing thought about letting Huamanlou enter the court, but the problem was that firstly he was not a civil servant, secondly he was too young, and thirdly He was not suitable to be placed in a specific department, so Emperor Guangxing gave up on that thought.

But these things are no longer a problem now: the civil servants themselves asked Hua Manlou to be appointed as a political adviser, and the political participation itself does not belong to a certain department. In this way, wouldn't Hua Manlou enter the court naturally?

As for whether he can exercise power in the court, Emperor Guangxing didn't care at all. After all, what he wanted was Hua Manlou's ingenious ideas, not what he really wanted to solve-in short, serious All affairs are handled by the cabinet, and the role of Huamanlou is to check for leaks and fill gaps for the cabinet, to solve or raise problems from different angles and in different ways, that's all.

In this way, Huamanlou's role will be maximized, and his identity is naturally close to the royal family, and he is not worried that he will cultivate any wings in the court, and further disperse the power of the cabinet, and the balance of the court...well, further balance, this...

For the old mille-feuille cake Guangxing Emperor, this is a good thing.

However, Emperor Guangxing didn't make a decision on the spot, nor did he continue to think along this line of thought, because he became more and more aware of one thing: Hua Manlou really didn't seem to be in court.

It is true that if Huamanlou contributed, then things would naturally suppress the cabinet and balance the court as Emperor Guangxing thought, but what if this scorpion didn't work?

And judging from Huamanlou's various performances, Emperor Guangxing faintly felt... Even the two in the harem also faintly felt that Huamanlou was a person who valued affection and affection. He had long said things like, "Your Majesty" Treating ministers like nephews, ministers must treat your majesty like uncles, then from the uncle...or from the point of view of the adoptive father, it is good to push Huamanlou into a position that he seems unwilling to sit in. Still not good?

So after struggling for a while, Emperor Guangxing decided that it would be better to ask Hua Manlou what he thought, so he announced his withdrawal from the court on the spot.

It's just that Emperor Guangxing didn't notice at all, and his attitude of neither agreeing nor opposing was enough to prove Huamanlou's place in his heart, which once again brought a lot of hatred to Huamanlou...

……

"Huh? Participating in political affairs?"

After retreating from the imperial court, Uncle Huai'an did not go to Nanzhen Fusi, but went home directly, dragged Huamanlou from the backyard to the front hall with a black line, and explained the affairs of the imperial court clearly in a few words.

Well, the reason for the black line is that Huamanlou is obsessed with role-playing, and when Laohua walked into Huamanlou's courtyard, he happened to hear Qiaoqiao Jiaodidi shouting in the house, such as "Young master, don't tease the slave family" class words...

Still young people can play!

After talking about the serious matter, Uncle Huai'an's thoughts suddenly became a little less serious: Speaking of which, now that the child has grown up and is promising, do you want to continue?Or go to the brothel to redeem a younger sister, and also play the game of "don't you want a son"?

On the other hand, Huamanlou, after listening to Uncle Huai'an's narration, also had black lines: "Father, I have to keep an eye on the navy, and I'm tired of a lot of college affairs, even the expansion of Xishanwei's enrollment." I haven’t even figured it out yet, so why are you so crazy about participating in politics? The production team...cough, even the donkeys in the farm don’t dare to use it like this?”

Uncle Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then glared at him and said, "You bastard!"

Gathering his mind, Uncle Huai An withdrew his charming thoughts, and said slowly: "It's not that His Majesty wants you to do these things this time, it's just that someone dislikes you. If not, would they allow you to enter the court?"

Hua Manlou sighed: "It's not that I can't tolerate it, it's that I want to... Well, it's the same anyway, if His Majesty sends someone to ask, I'll just say I'm too busy."

Uncle Huai'an glanced at Hua Manlou, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, after all...

The rumors had just been cracked a few days ago, and now they want to put Huamanlou on the fire.

"Well, you should rest, if you know what's going on, you'll be on duty for your father." Uncle Huai'an said something casually, and went out to find someone.

After Hua Manlou sent his father out, he stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then suddenly ordered: "Hua Er..."

"The little one is here." Hua Er came out of the gatehouse with a whoosh, and stood firmly in front of Hua Manlou, waiting for orders.

"Prepare the car, master, I'm going out for some activities."

456. Now, Immediately, Immediately

Huamanlou knew that Uncle Huai'an's so-called promotion was actually mostly an excuse.

The court situation is complicated, and the interests involved and all kinds of messy pros and cons are intertwined. It is completely a fishing net that is constantly being cut and straightened out. Countless people are hanging on this net, and a little stretching will become a big piece.

Not to mention, once the position of being a political adviser is confirmed, even if Huamanlou does nothing, it will inevitably encroach on the power of the chief inspector and the cabinet, and it is very likely that the entire court situation will be changed—according to Huamanlou Look, the black gesture behind the scenes will definitely make a group of people pretend to take refuge in him, and then make him fight against the supervisor and the cabinet.

Although the relationship between Huamanlou and both parties is not bad now, and even when Mr. Wen Ge is still in the cabinet, the cabinet will not make much action, but who knows how long old Wen can last in the post, maybe he Someday he died because he played too high!

That's right, it's just that the game is too high. Recently, a certain top player in Hui Lanxuan has been fighting with Mr. Wen Ge recently. Old Wen, who is not a repairman, still wants to redeem that girl and take her back to Mr. Ge's mansion. No accidents. It won't be long before Wen Liang will have a sixteen or seventeen year old girl...

Well, all men understand.

In addition, it would be better for Huamanlou not to be involved in the imperial court, but if he does, he will completely enter the vortex of the imperial court, and then the relationship between him and Emperor Guangxing will become delicate-Huamanlou is still a military officer in essence , and he is one of the few military officers in charge of military power. If he does not stick to the court and does not play party games, Emperor Guangxing's trust in him will be unbelievable. It's hard to say.

In other words, all the dazzling operations, in the final analysis, are killing people with a borrowed knife, or they can be regarded as driving tigers and wolfs away, anyway, the other party doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

And after procrastinating with this kind of conspiracy for a while, he reckoned that by finding a loophole or just creating some evidence, Huamanlou could be wiped out. At that time, all kinds of interests under his hands...

So when Lao Hua went out this time, she must be looking for someone to ask for a relationship, and planned to start with the court situation to help Hua Manlou get out of this situation.

And as far as Hua Manlou was concerned, he would be damned if he was willing to enter the imperial court.Aside from other things, he can't accept just getting up at three or four in the morning to go to the gate of the palace and wait for the court. Who is a serious salted fish?

Well, it is for this reason that getting up early is such a painful thing...

Anyway, wouldn't it be nice to sleep with the little fairy in your arms?

Recently, Huamanlou and Xiaoxie also had a hot fight, otherwise how would he know about Wen Ge's happiness?

So Hua Manlou put on the red python robe that looked very hot, and left the Huai'an uncle's mansion, intending to do something different.

……

Honglu Temple.

Although to a certain extent, the two parties that came to Dazhao from the Wa Kingdom this time are not considered big forces, but after all they represent the Wa royal family and the shogunate, and because of the sudden restoration of the tribute that had been cut off for more than a hundred years, Honglu Temple treated them well. They were very caring, as far as Hua Manlou could see, their treatment was much better than that of Erstumu.

Those who visited Da Zhao were Prince Zhiren and Hui Ruomaru. These two people each occupied a large courtyard alone, as if they were like special envoys from the two countries, and each of them was negotiating terms with Da Zhao based on their own interests. The fact that the child is true also makes the Ministry of Rites very confused.

Because from an orthodox point of view, the only ones who can talk about tribute with Da Zhao are the royal family, but the existence of the Japanese shogunate is a bit too different. Under the circumstances that each has its own reasons, the Ministry of Rites can only hold its nose and listen to both parties' appeals , and then report it, just wait for the cabinet to make a decision.

Therefore, it has been many days since I came to Dazhao, but the most basic things have not been negotiated, but the warriors brought by the two parties have already caused a lot of trouble - free prostitution, eating bully meals, and even hurting people , and the servants of Honglu Temple were injured.

That is because they knew that this was in Dazhao, so barbaric acts such as "knife testing" did not happen-after Japanese warriors forged new knives, they often went to the streets to chop up ordinary people to try their knives, which is simply shocking.

And at this stall, Hua Manlou appeared in Honglu Temple.

"Welcome Uncle Hua!"

Hearing Huamanlou's visit, Prince Zhiren and Hui Ruomaru came out to greet him with their people.

Standing under the ginkgo tree at the gate, Hua Manlou looked at the two with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile: "After you two came to Dazhao...are you having fun?"

"This..." Prince Zhiren swallowed his saliva: "Uncle Robert remembers, I'll wait... I'll be fine."

"Really." Hua Manlou took two steps forward, standing in front of Prince Zhiren and Hui Ruowan who were a little groveling, and suddenly sighed: "You are all right, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

"Dare... dare to ask Uncle, how can... be more comfortable?" Hui Ruowan opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask Hua Manlou why he was not comfortable.

Hua Manlou looked down at him, and suddenly smiled: "How can I be comfortable? Hui Ruowan, before getting off the boat, did I tell you to be more honest when you come to Dazhao?"

When Hui Ruowan heard this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his head: "This... I said it, so... So..."

"So you didn't take what I said to you, did you?" Hua Manlou's voice was a little cold: "Or, is there something you don't like about me?"

Pfft!

Teru Ruomaru knelt on the spot: "I... I must carefully restrain my subordinates..."

"No need." Hua Manlou waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to wait for you to restrain me slowly, hand over all those who have caused trouble outside these days."

"This..." Although Hui Ruowan was trembling, he still said: "Uncle calm down, I...I will strictly discipline the uncle, if the uncle is dissatisfied, I can make him harakiri..."

"Exaggerated." Hua Manlou interrupted him: "It's just hurting people, why use seppuku?"

"That uncle means..."

"Big Zhao doesn't have the rule of abusing private behavior." Hua Manlou patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: ""Big Zhao Law", beat people with brothers and feet, if you are not injured, you can be beaten twenty times. If he beats someone, if he is not injured, he will receive thirty lashes. If he is injured, he will receive forty lashes. Send the person to the Ministry of Punishment, oh, Shuntian Mansion is also fine, anyway, both parties can take care of this."

"Uncle, my subordinates are samurai!" Hui Ruomaru was a little anxious.

The samurai class of the Japanese country can go to the street to kill people at will, so hurting people is not worth mentioning, so now Teruwakamaru's thoughts tend to go elsewhere: because a small matter spends a lot of money upstairs, just say The fact that his people hurt others, does this mean that Zhao is leaning towards the royal family?

But Huamanlou's voice became colder: "So what?"

Hui Ruowan was a little dazed: "Uncle...uncle, the situation of the shogunate is very clear, so..."

"Say it again, hand over the person." Hua Manlou directly interrupted him: "Now, immediately, immediately."

457. The customer does as he pleases

Huamanlou can be described as extremely arrogant.

Theoretically speaking, both Prince Zhiren and Huiruomaru represent the country of Wa, and Huamanlou himself is not even a member of the Ministry of Rites, so it is completely unreasonable for him to come here to reprimand the emissary. .

But that's what he did.

The so-called Ju Yi Qi nourishes the body, a person who has been in a high position for a long time and is used to giving orders naturally has a power, so when Hua Man Lou seemed to be reprimanded in a natural tone, Hui Ruo Wan suddenly broke into cold sweat, and his fart Don't dare to put one.

He didn't dare to mess with Huamanlou, not only because he was in Da Zhao's territory at this time, but also because his return journey and future were almost in Huamanlou's hands, and even his hometown, Kyoto, was in the hands of Huamanlou. In the hands of Huamanlou, so the previous defense was only based on the fact that the shogunate might be useful to Huamanlou, so they wanted to say something, not want to fight against Huamanlou.

It's just that it's hard for Huiruomaru to understand how he provoked this old man—in terms of his values, he doesn't think that people like Huamanlou would find fault with him because of a few commoners.

But if you don't understand, you don't understand. He still wants half of what Hua Manlou said, so after a little hesitation, he yelled a few words behind him. Shouted in half-baked Chinese: "It's the oxazole, and the next person is the most!"

Hua Manlou looked at Hui Ruowan contemptuously, then nodded, and the guards behind him went to lift the man out.

And during this period, Prince Zhiren, who was half-bowed at the side, had a happy expression on his face—just like what Teruwakamaru thought, he also believed that the purpose of Huamanlou's coming here was definitely not to hurt someone, but to show that Da Zhao's attitude.

Isn't hitting Huiruomaru just to let him calm down a bit and cooperate with the royal family?

Prince Zhiren was thinking: In any case, the orthodoxy of the Japanese country is still the royal family, and the royal family is also enshrined, and the Han people have always attached great importance to orthodoxy. In this way, as long as they behave more humble and respectful, they will win the favor of the Dazhao royal family. More support?

Thinking of this, Prince Zhiren bowed even lower, and began to think in his heart how to show his loyalty and deceive the incomparably sharp firearm of the Great Zhao Navy.

But at this moment, Hua Manlou turned to look at him, and snorted coldly: "Why are you laughing? What face do you have to smile?"

With this scolding, not only Prince Zhiren was dumbfounded, but even Hui Ruowan was dumbfounded: Did I think wrong?

"Uh... Uncle, I... I just..." Prince Zhiren stumbled to explain.

Hua Manlou interrupted him: "Do you think your people are not wrong at all?"

Pfft!

Prince Zhiren knelt faster than Hui Ruowan, and said simply: "I am so ashamed! I will pay the price... no, three times the compensation!"

He no longer dared to guess Huamanlou's intentions, and he didn't even dare to "argue with reason" like Hui Ruomaru, but directly admitted his counsel, and scolded in his heart the subordinates who went out to eat Bawang's meal and whoring for nothing A bloody head.
