The people in the capital are more lively these days than during the Chinese New Year.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple presented a victory, and the princes paraded, which greatly pleased people's hearts.

At the same time, due to the improvement of the status of soldiers, many people have changed some of their past views.

Anyone who has a soldier in his family is respected by his neighbors.

This quietly formed social atmosphere is exactly what Guo Tianyi wants.

Morning the next day.

Guo Tianyi first awarded rewards to those who made meritorious service in this battle.

For example, Di Qing, a rising star, suddenly became a fifth-rank general.

Some relatives and generals of the Zhang family were not in a good mood.

They did not participate in this battle.

They are all defending the capital.

But judging from the current situation, it is certain that they will sit on the bench.

Next, Guo Tianyi asked Cao Dechun to announce another decree.

"General Yuwen is the son of an orphan, with both civil and military skills. He has specially appointed Yuwen Yuanzhen as the prime minister. I admire this..."

"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Yuanzhen immediately knelt down to thank him.

Becoming the prime minister was something Yuwen Yuanzhen never expected.

His glory is enough.

He originally had the title of Duke of the country and was a high-ranking official.

Now that he has obtained the power of the prime minister, it can be said that he has all the power in the government and the opposition.

Moreover, Yuwen Yuanzhen was also a warrior.

If he were to be the prime minister, he would never be as weak as a prime minister who was a civil servant.

Today's court will form a new situation after Yu Wenyuan Zhen becomes prime minister.

Originally, the two largest parties were Yan Xiliang's group and Wang Yuan's group.

The officials of the other companies are all incompetent.

But now, Yuwen Yuanzhen can suppress several of them.

However, a hint of worry flashed in Yuwen Yuanzhen's eyes.

Besides the Prime Minister, who is a hot potato for him?

Yuwen Yuanzhen glanced at Guo Tianyi silently.

However, he found that Guo Tianyi had a majestic look in his eyes and had no intention of communicating with him, so he had to give up.

There is no way that I can refuse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s will in public, right?

Down towards the back.

Many civil servants and generals gathered in twos and threes to express their thanks to Yuwen Yuanzhen.

It is everyone's dream to be crowned king and prime minister.

Yuwen Yuanzhen is now the king, and all other honors have been achieved.

In addition, Yan Xiliang retired and returned to his hometown, Guo Tianyi had already arranged the position of prime minister for Yuwen Yuanzhen.

Facing the congratulations from all the officials, some officials even suggested that they go to Yuwen Yuanzhen's mansion to sit down in the evening to celebrate the wonderful event that Yuwen Yuanzhen became the prime minister...

Yuwen Yuanzhen directly rejected all the good intentions.

He knew that the courtiers were taking sides.

Come to my house as a guest in the evening?

Wouldn’t it be necessary to bring big and small packages of gifts?

Eaters are short-tongued and exploiters are soft-handed. Yuwen Yuanzhen knows this truth all too well.

Therefore, Yuwen Yuanzhen went back home regardless of other officials' dignity.

East Palace.

"Your Highness, most of the ministers wanted to congratulate Yu Wenyuan Zhen, but Yu Wenyuan Zhen refused..."

Cao Dechun was reporting the scene just now to Guo Tianyi word for word.

"knew."

"I didn't see the wrong person."

"I hope he can always stick to his heart."

Guo Tianyi sighed and said calmly.

"Your Highness, General Yuwen seems not very happy that he has become the prime minister..." Cao Dechun frowned, "I can see that Yuwen Yuanzhen seemed to have the intention to refuse in the court, but he held back and did not speak."

"I can see that." Guo Tianyi sighed, "But apart from the position of prime minister, it's impossible for Gu to ask the Queen Mother to decree that he be given the title of King with a different surname, right?"

"Too..."

Cao Dechun lowered his head and said nothing.

When it comes to important government affairs, it is better for a slave like him to be less arrogant.

If not, one day your good days will come to an end.

Yuwen Yuanzhen’s contribution is too great.

Guo Tianyi also feels the same way about the so-called master of great achievements.

Yuwen Yuanzhen's titles, official positions, honors, etc. have reached heights that ordinary officials would never dare to imagine in their lifetime.

If Yu Wenyuan Zhen makes great achievements again, the only way is to be crowned king.

Guo Tianyi doesn't want to grant a few more kings with different surnames.

Yuwen Yuanzhen's performance today made him very satisfied.

But who can guarantee that we will not lose ourselves in rights in the future?

the other side.

Yuwen Yuanzhen returned to his house in a depressed mood.

He also told his servants that without his consent, no officials would come to visit him.

His wife, Mrs. Jiang, saw the master's expression, made a pot of hot tea for Yuwen Yuanzhen, and said softly, "Master, what's wrong with you? Why is this happening?"

The master was quite happy yesterday.

Why is it like this today?

Could it be that something happened in the court?

"Madam, look at this imperial edict." Yuwen Yuanzhen took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to his wife.

When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she was shocked and said, "Sir, the Queen Mother must have nodded in agreement to make you the Prime Minister. Isn't this a good thing? Our family can be regarded as a glorious family..."

Yuwen Yuanzhen followed Emperor Fengjing for decades.

Today we have reached the pinnacle of official power.

After becoming the prime minister, he had his own office.

For ordinary people, it is a supreme honor to obtain the power of prime minister.

"lady."

"That's what worries me."

"Did you know that great achievements shake the master?"

Yuwen Yuanzhen sighed deeply, his brows knitted together.

Yu Wenyuan Zhen was a talented man in both literature and martial arts. Emperor Jing once asked him to take charge of the Long Xiao Army, and he trusted him in every possible way.

Because I have been following Emperor Feng Jing for decades.

But now, the person in power is Guo Tianyi.

"Why do you say this?" Jiang asked puzzledly, "Sir, you are the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, after His Highness ascends the throne, you may even reward me..."

The so-called "high achievements shock the master" refers to the monarch's suspicion of his ministers.

Since ancient times, few people with great achievements have met with a good end.

"No, no..." Yuwen Yuanzhen slapped the table and said, "We don't have to worry about His Majesty's relationship with us, but the current Crown Prince cannot be compared to His Majesty..."

"I can't see through His Highness the Crown Prince anymore."
