The abolition of prime ministers is not uncommon in all dynasties. Take the Shun Dynasty as an example. During the 60 years of pacifying the world, three emperors had experienced more than 30 right prime ministers.

Yuan Bolang is not the shortest to be the right prime minister, and of course it will not be the longest to be the longest.

But this is a major event for the court after all. Yuan Bolang, as the imperial minister appointed by the advanced emperor, worked diligently for the past year of the change of the throne. He was not capable, but he also did his duty, and was working hard for the stability of the imperial power. His sudden withdrawal made everyone unable to touch the current situation of the dynasty. What is the emperor doing?

In this dynasty, the power of the two ministers has been extremely weakened, and they cannot control the army outside. They must be controlled by the Six-Taiwan Yamen, the Six Ministry, and the Shangshu Academy. They are nominally the title of civil servants, but in fact, they have become figures like the court's think tank. Even if Yuan Bolang was dismissed from the prime minister, he would not be able to make trouble. Everyone knows that he has no capital. However, if the vassal kings and military generals sent by the Shun Dynasty had to be much more cautious if they wanted to dismiss their official positions.

Yuan Bolang himself knew that it was the day when he was dismissed, so he had not received any news in advance. However, the matter of putting the autumn grain into the warehouse in the past two days was completed. The emperor seemed to be willing to leave him alone, and even the discussions in the Six-Taiwan yamen were stopped for two days, saying that he wanted to prepare for the implementation of the new policy. Who knew that the new policy was still missing, so the emperor first attacked him and kicked him home and took his grandson.

This made the fourth princess Su Bi, who was originally planning to join forces with Yuan Bolang to deal with Liu Yu, messed up.

Liu Wenyan has already started from Tongguan. If she relies solely on Su Bi's power, she would not be able to fight Liu Wenyan who lost his power. The new emperor did not intend to make things difficult for his mentor in his heart, and would definitely not stand on her side. If she lost the help of Yuan Bolang, the ally, at this time, she could only witness Liu Wenyan returning to Chang'an City to form his own power again.

Su Bi thought in surprise. Could it be that the emperor wanted Yuan Bolang to give way to Liu Wenyan, who was about to return to Chang'an City?

On the first day of the winter moon, the first day of the court was not the day of the court's discussion. After receiving the news of the rescinding of the prime minister, many ministers went to Yaqian Hall to "congratulate the emperor" to the emperor. In fact, they wanted to know the emperor's intention to rescind the prime minister. In addition to rescinding the prime minister, which officials should be promoted and demoted, and who would be the next right prime minister. Although the snow stopped, the weather was still very cold, and the officials were not allowed to enter outside. After waiting for more than an hour, the emperor sent a small eunuch out to send an order, asking the ministers to go back and rest, and summoned the left prime minister Lan and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Li Yannian.

All the officials looked at Lan He and Li Yannian, the two "real power factions" of the dynasty. In fact, everyone had long thought that in terms of their ability to deal with national affairs, Lan He was far above Yuan Bolang. More importantly, Lan He knew how to adapt and maintained a very subtle relationship with some of the officials below. To put it bluntly, he did not refuse requests or gifts and bribes. He was sleek. But Yuan Bolang was just a stubborn leader, and even Yuan Bolang's direct descendants could not get any advantage from him. A stubborn old peddler. If Lan He was really a step to the right prime minister, the officials would still like to hear it. In the future, the court could be "harmonious" and every family would be "happy".

As for Li Yannian, the officials basically had no friendship with him, but they thought that this man was too artificial and too fake. But it has to be said that he was an official after all, and the eldest son of the left prime minister Li Youchun at that time was higher than Yuan Bolang, who was born as the Minister of Rites. Everyone wondered if he summoned these two people at this time, would he be preparing to promote Lan He to the right prime minister and Li Yannian to the left prime minister?

The officials were issued a "exit order" by the emperor, so they could not continue to stay in the palace to wait for news. However, they still tried their best to do so, and many of them did not leave, and they just waited at the palace gate to wait for news. If their guesses were confirmed, it was very important to stand ahead of others. If the team could not be found, the result would be that there would be no team to stand.

It was not until the sun set in the afternoon, but there was still no news in the palace. Lan He and Li Yannian were in the palace and did not leave the palace gate.

At this time, Lan He and Li Yannian, who were speculating about what they were doing, were receiving a long lecture from the New Emperor. The content of the lecture was very complicated. From the ascension of the New Emperor to the three major battles of pacifying the world, the quelling of rebellion in Guanzhong, the quelling of Huai land and then to the quelling of the Turks, and then to the issue of the new policy. As he spoke, the emperor seemed to be addicted and also talked about many "secrets" that people didn't know.

After talking for a long time, Lan He and Li Yannian looked at each other and wondered in their hearts that the emperor said that this was just to show that "it was very tiring to be an emperor"? The emperor was making trouble.

The two of them listened respectfully and didn't dare to interrupt. After listening for a while, the emperor stopped and they thought it was over. Unexpectedly, the emperor drank a sip of water, calmed down his spirit, and started his family conversation again. This was so painful that Lan He and Li Yannian, who stood in the grandeur and did not dare to breathe. They came to the palace in broad daylight to listen to these irrelevant words?

In fact, they wanted to know who was responsible for the next right prime minister, or what was the "main purpose" of the emperor staying here. The chatting family was obviously caused by the emperor's leisure, and this was not a serious matter. The emperor chatted like a chatterbox. After a long and a half, the emperor finally sighed and summarized: "I am not easy to be an emperor!"

Lan He and Li Yannian thought it should be over, right?

"Your Majesty said very well. Your Majesty has worked hard and made great contributions and will be the holy king who will be famous for thousands of years in the future." Li Yannian hurriedly praised.

Although Lan He couldn't say such a numb thing, he still followed him twice. At this time, the emperor sighed and said, "I dare not take the holy king. In the future, I will go down to the Hall of Hell. Just don't beat me if I see the ancestors and the clans."

The emperor seemed to be very moved. After talking about his "working and making great contributions" for so long, he now shows that he is "repentance" to his ancestors. In short, he has not yet reached the point. Lan He finally couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know if I should ask."

Su Yan was a little surprised and said sincerely: "What did Lan Xiang say? Didn't I just say it? The king and minister of our Dashun Dynasty should be like friends, and it's okay to just say something."

Lan He was almost choked by this sentence. The emperor said that the king and his subjects were friends, and that was very nice at most. If the king wanted the ministers to die, his subjects had to die. Although the emperors since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty all praised benevolence and righteousness, they were really ruthless when killing the heroes. For the former emperor, there were no less than ten ministers above the first rank and above who were imprisoned by innocent people until they died, and one tribe was destroyed. The person standing next to him was one of the "innocent complications".

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a form for a day. Who is the emperor going to take over the position of Right Prime Minister?"

Lan He's words were carefully considered, and he was not so optimistic in his heart that the emperor would promote him to the right prime minister. After all, Yuan Bolang was in the first place without any faults, and he had no contribution to such a great promotion. What Lan He was most afraid of was that the emperor promoted Liu Wenyan to the right prime minister in order to win over Liu Wenyan, who lost power in the army. He said this, "You can't be in no form for a day" to remind the new emperor that the right prime minister cannot wait until Liu Wenyan returns to Chang'an City to establish again.

The emperor was not surprised by this and was a little unhappy.

"Lan Xiang said something wrong. Even if the country cannot be without form for a day, aren't there any Lan Xiang? Don't you want to be the left prime minister?"

Lanhe quickly made it clear that she didn't mean it.

"What does Blue Eye mean?"

Lan He was completely speechless. It seems that the emperor is no longer the foolish emperor at the time. If he is not careful, he may be dismissed from office. On weekdays, Yuan Bolang pointed at the emperor, and this is probably the main reason why Yuan Bolang was dismissed from prison. Who wants an old peddler around him to be nagging all day long?

Lan He felt that he was confused for a moment, but he didn't realize this reason in advance, and now he is banned.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that I must obey what you advocate, but... Let me know earlier, so that I can calm my mind and prepare early." Lan He completed the way.

The emperor's face was obviously much better, and he sighed and said, "Actually, I asked Yuan Xiang to go home to rest first, because it was for his health. He was old and in poor health. If he was still so tired, I was really afraid that he would not be able to hold on..."

"The emperor is compassionate to his subordinates, and it is a blessing for his subordinates." Li Yannian complimented. Lan He was stunned. Li Yannian really knew that he would flatter him when he saw a chance. The emperor decided to stop his appearance because of Yuan Bolang's physical condition. He didn't agree with it, but he was still tactful and hurriedly followed him.

The emperor sighed and said, "Although Prime Minister Yuan is not in the position of prime minister, I have already instructed the Ministry of Personnel to take charge of his salary. If there are any major issues in the court in the future, I will ask him to come and discuss it. I think it's good if the matter is settled like this, do you think it's?"

What could Lan He and Li Yannian say? They had to nod their heads to agree.

"About the right prime minister's candidate..."

Lan He and Li Yannian thought to finally come to the point. They couldn't wait to know who the new right prime minister was in the emperor's mind. In fact, Lan He and Li Yannian both had selfish intentions, and they also hoped that they would become one of the two prime ministers. Li Yannian's desire was not the right prime minister, but the left prime minister. His father was the left prime minister and his son became the left prime minister again. This would be very helpful to the re-rise of the Li family.

The emperor paused and continued, "I have considered a lot, so I decided to let Shaoqing, the manager of the Trade Department, and Mr. Han Sheng and Mr. Han, be the right prime minister."

When Lan He and Li Yannian heard "Han Sheng", they thought they had made a mistake in their hearing and had a misleading hearing.

If they were asked to take up a hundred people in the court to serve as the new right prime minister, they would not count Han Sheng. Han Sheng had no experience as an official in the court, and had no connections. If Han Sheng had the greatest connection, he was the in-laws of Wuyi Marquis Liu Wenyan. It is said that his two granddaughters married Liu Wenyan as a concubine. Such a person, who was not so evident and was a low-key official in the court, suddenly became the leader of the court and ordered all civil and military officials?

Another very important thing is that Han Sheng is not young anymore, which obviously does not conform to the original intention of the new emperor to be sympathetic to the old ministers.

"Two dear friends, do you have any objections?" The emperor looked at Lan He and Li Yannian who were silent.

"No, no. The candidate chosen by the emperor is the most appropriate one." Lan He said, and immediately wanted to slap himself, but in just a while he was brought over by Li Yannian's flattery.
