Chapter 806 The situation above the Golden Palace changed, and the people in Prince Wen’s palace were smiling.
The night is already deep.
The moon hangs high above the Western Mountain, and it still has an octant.
In such a quiet night, countless people stayed awake.
Songdu is one of them.
Because for the first time today, he put down his body, put on a friendly smile on his face, took the initiative to kiss, and came outside Lin Su's house, but Lin Su refused to see him!
And he refused very rudely.
"My king and Mr. Song have no blood heritage and have no reason to be friends with each other. It is simply inexplicable that they are intimately connected! I want to ask Mr. Song, did you submit the wrong post?"
These are Lin Su’s original words!
Although this refusal was rude, it was also reasonable.
Lin Su himself has no blood connection with Song Du - it can be said that he has a blood connection with Song Du's direct descendants, but not with Song Du himself.
Because the two families are related by marriage!
Lin Su's mother and Song Du's first wife were biological sisters. People offline could be related by blood, but he himself had no blood relationship with Song Du himself.
It's not that Song Du didn't understand this, but he also clearly understood that apart from the kinship relationship, he and Lin Su were even more incompatible with each other in other aspects.
Now that the kinship relationship has been rejected, he cannot enter the gate of Prince Wen's Mansion at all.
This made Song Du's back covered in cold sweat.
He is not a new businessman in the officialdom, he is a human being with long hairy arms. He knows what this refusal means, and it means that tomorrow's court meeting will not be optimistic for him!
Otherwise, what's the harm in Lin Su meeting him?
He had this thought, and all the other court officials also had the same thought.
On this day, he was not the only one Lin Su rejected!
At least there was Zuo Kuanzhou. Zuo Kuanzhou submitted a proposal for a scholar, but Lin Su still rejected it. The reason for the rejection was: Today was a meeting between Lin and his friends, and there was no time to talk.
The personal post was rejected, the Confucian post was rejected, and the official post was naturally rejected. The reason for the rejection was even simpler: King Wen was not responsible for any political affairs, but when there was official business, he invited the corresponding yamen.
After rejecting each post once, the others would have no excuse. Even the gatekeeper no longer asked His Majesty King Wen for instructions and rejected them on the spot.
Countless officials who were secretly observing or people sent by officials looked at each other in confusion.
No oil or salt can enter Prince Wen's Mansion!
Among them was the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion. He did not dare to show his face and hid in the restaurant opposite. He saw with his own eyes that Lu Youwei got on Princess Yufeng's sedan chair and was escorted out of the mansion by Lin Su himself. He was filled with emotion.
Miss Lu, who has been expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion, enters and exits Prince Wen's Mansion as she pleases.
The prime minister of the Lu family couldn't get in at all, so where do we start?
Lin Su sent away several beauties and several talented men, and returned to his bedroom alone...
Under the moonlight, his footsteps slowly deviated from the route back to the bedroom and came to the back garden...
In the garden, a beautiful woman slowly raised her head. There was a blurred color in her eyes. Perhaps it was the peonies in front of her that quietly reflected in her eyes under the moonlight.
Lin Su also seemed to be attracted by these eyes: "I want to tell you that the blooming flowers in the garden are beautiful, but the falling and blooming of flowers is the natural state. Some things are better if they are more real."
Qi Yanran smiled softly: "Today is a special situation. The prince enters the garden for the first time. The flowers are blooming just to welcome the prince. Tomorrow, the dust will naturally return to dust, and the earth will return to earth, showing the nature that a prince's palace should have."
"That's good!" Lin Su turned around.
Suddenly a voice came from behind: "Your Majesty likes reality, but I don't know if I can accept another kind of reality?"
"What about?" Lin Su slowly turned around.
"For example, people!" Qi Yanran smiled softly: "The little girl has met the prince once, but I don't know if the prince's eyes are attracted by the little girl."
Lin Su was slightly startled: "The girl is referring to..."
"On the side of the East China Sea, the prince, dressed as white as snow, entered the inn and told the masters of spiritual practice not to enter the East China Sea as cannon fodder. The little girl listened to the prince's advice and was able to save her life. So, prince, your life-saving grace, little girl
Thank you very much!"
Lin Su gently raised his finger and pressed it on his forehead: "I'm sorry, girl, there were so many people present that day, I really didn't notice the girl."
"You actually noticed it. It's just that I was too embarrassed that day and the prince didn't recognize it!" Qi Yanran smiled softly.
"How are you sure I'm paying attention to you?" Lin Su frowned.
"Because I have a good companion!" Qi Yanran smiled softly: "Su Rong, the saint of Yaowang Mountain, was by my side at that time. Although she was covered with a black scarf, I believe the prince should have recognized her."
Lin Su's eyes slowly showed light...
The memory seems to slowly light up at this moment...
"It is a legend among women in Su Sheng. I did notice her, and inevitably noticed the woman next to her. However, the girl's disguise skills were so amazing that they were very different from what they are today..." Lin Su
Shaking his head gently: "Isn't the relationship between the girl and Saint Su unusual?"
"We, Baihua Valley, have always cooperated with Yaowang Mountain. The women in Su Sheng are so unique that the little girl naturally admires them so much that they have a little more friendship. It's embarrassing to say that Yaowang Mountain used it to help the fake emperor Ji Shang.
Thirty percent of the medicines are related to my Baihua Valley."
Lin Sudao: "There are nineteen forces in the world. The girl is just a disciple in the sect, not a deacon. If you want to be ashamed, how can it be the girl's turn to be ashamed?"
"Your Majesty Huida, the little girl admires you!" Qi Yanran said: "Your Majesty saw Lu Sanqian with his own eyes that day, what do you think of this man?"
"What about you? What do you think?"
Qi Yanran said: "Although this person is the son of the leader of the Bishui Sect, Your Highness had better not regard him as a person of the Great Cang. There are people in the Broken Sword Valley behind him who have entered the Great Cang. Combined with his actions that day, the little girl has
A bad prediction, I suspect that he has the intention to disrupt my Da Cang cultivation!"
"The people from Broken Sword Valley have entered the sky. Do you know who they are and where they will end up?"
"I don't know who they are specifically, little girl, but the Bishui Sect is where they stay!"
"Thank you, girl!" Lin Su bowed slightly: "It's late at night, let's rest!"
"yes!"
Lin Su entered the bedroom, the fragrant breeze stirred around her, and Zhou Mei sat on the edge of the bed with her chin in her hands...
"I admit that I was a little overreacted. She should be fine!" Zhou Mei said: "Because she exposed her friendship with Su Rong and exposed the secret of Baihua Valley. She was so honest that I felt a little embarrassed...
He even took the initiative to expose a potentially serious conspiracy."
"That's right!" Lin Su said: "You can't think of conspiracy theories when you see a beautiful woman, but you should think more about human nature. A handsome guy like me, with my status, and as much money as me, a beautiful woman
Isn’t it normal to move towards each other?”
Zhou Mei gave him a blank look: "Yes, I also took the initiative to join in, okay?"
Lin Sudao: "You are different. When you approached me, it was out of repayment. Your purpose was pure and noble, not as vulgar as theirs..."
"But she seems to be doing it out of repayment! Not only is she repaying you for saving her life, but she is also repaying her family's great favor because Ji Shang is oppressing her and her family is in danger..."
It seems so...
Lin Su blinked and thought about it, and was sure, it was true!
Zhou Mei sighed softly: "Now it seems that it is a bit unrealistic to drive her away. After all, she looks a bit beautiful, smells a bit sweet, and the reason for getting close to you has gradually become somewhat orthodox...
No, how about I give you an idea?"
"Tell me!"
"Call her into the room and kill her!"
Lin Su stared at her in surprise: "So direct?"
"Women always take their bodies very seriously!" Zhou Mei said: "If you call her into the room and clearly want to make fun of her, you can see her truest reaction. If she has some shady purpose,
, she obviously won’t let you really do it.”
"Then what if she insists on agreeing? Should I do it or not?"
Zhou Mei glared at him fiercely: "To quote your wife, have you ever been pretentious on this issue?"
Lin Sudao: "What if... what if her purpose is big enough, and she is willing to pay this price for the smooth implementation of this purpose? You understand me, I am a pity person, especially myself.
If she really has other intentions in the future, I won’t be able to do anything to her! Does this mean I dug a hole for myself and buried myself?"
Zhou Mei was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a long breath: "Then it depends on your ability. Whether you can really do what your wife said, just press a woman on the bed, and you can play the game with her IQ zeroed out and her head turned hot.
, dead-set...I really forgot which of your wives said this."
Lin Su stroked his forehead: "Do you really think it's appropriate for us to sit on the bed and talk about this kind of topic?"
With a whoosh, Zhou Mei disappeared!
In the darkness, Zhou Mei slapped herself, and then...
Really disappear!
…
The next day, the great court meeting!
The ministers arrived early, and they were all in high spirits. At least on the surface, no one looked old at all. Everyone could have been worried about the king for fifty years.
As the golden bell rang, His Majesty Ji Guang entered the palace.
The ministers knelt down and said: "See your Majesty!"
Ji Guang nodded and strode forward. Lu Tian looked from the side and saw nothing unusual.
Ji Guang reached the highest point, and a clear voice came from the highest point: "Everyone is at peace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers stood up at the same time and looked at Ji Guang. Ji Guang's expression did not show any difference.
But an undercurrent still quietly spread throughout the hall.
We are all human beings and we all know that something big is going to happen today.
But on the second floor above the high platform, one person was missing, which left them with some illusions...
The person they expected was Lin Su.
Lin Su was already the King of Yizi. He held a court meeting the day after he entered the capital. If the meeting was held at his suggestion, he should have appeared today.
Once he appears, he will appear on the second level platform, where the prince used to be.
But he didn't show up.
If he didn't show up, does it mean that today's dynasty is not the one that the ministers are most afraid of?
Ji Guang said: "It has been two months since the new dynasty of Da Cang began. I am deeply aware of internal and external troubles. There are many national affairs. In the process of governing the country, high-level decision-making is the most important. Therefore, I want to select the best officials to establish the university.
Cang's State Affairs Hall is giving me advice to govern the world, what do you think?"
All the ministers felt relieved at the same time.
Establish a State Council!
This is nothing!
Studying things to gain knowledge, being sincere and upright, cultivating oneself, managing one's family, and governing the country and the world. This is the positioning of literature and art in the holy scriptures. Based on this, Bailu Academy has also established the Gewu Hall, the Zhizhi Hall, the Zhengxin Hall and the Self-cultivation Hall.
As for the State Council Hall, it didn’t exist in Da Cang before.
However, it is not there in form, but it exists in fact.
For example, the members of the Small Court Meeting can basically be regarded as the "State Affairs Hall". What do you mean? When His Majesty encounters major issues and needs to be discussed, he will summon the prime minister, ministers of various ministries, and the trusted elders of the court to discuss important matters.
Isn’t what these members are doing the responsibility of the State Council?
What does it mean if the State Council is clarified?
Prime Minister Lu Tian's first thought was that Lin Su was going to intervene in the court situation.
Lin Su is currently King Wen, and his status is extremely noble. However, the prince is not within the official system. Legally speaking, he is not qualified to participate in political affairs. If he wants to discuss political affairs, he needs a title of State Affairs Hall. Only such a title
, he can join this top-level small circle in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner.
If this is the explanation, it can be explained by Lin Su's entry into Beijing yesterday and the meeting of the DPRK today.
To be honest, Lu Tiancong resisted Lin Su's participation in politics, but now he knew that he could not stop Lin Su from joining the government, so he planned to compromise!
Lu Tiancong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty wants to build a state affairs hall, and the veteran ministers are the first to agree. As your Majesty said, everything is in ruins, and we are in urgent need of far-sighted people to make suggestions for your Majesty."
The rest of the people also agreed.
A smile appeared on Ji Guang's face: "Since everyone agrees with the establishment of the State Council, let's discuss the members of the State Council?"
He Jingjun said: "The Prime Minister has rich experience in governing the country, so he should be the head of the State Affairs Hall! The six ministers must naturally be members of the State Affairs Hall. As for the rest, it is better to be nominated by the Prime Minister, and your Majesty will approve them."
Ji Guang nodded slightly: "What do you think of He Qing's proposal?"
Agree!
Agree!
A chorus of approval…
When the Golden Palace was peaceful, Lu Tiancong once again found the long-lost feeling, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to order people.
Most of the people he ordered were Zuo Shilang among the six ministries, or people who had been with him for a long time, such as Nangong Pushe and Zheng Xiongpushe.
Every time I click on someone, I get a bunch of grateful eyes.
Because this is glory!
This is the foundation of their status in the court!
What an honor it is to discuss state affairs with His Majesty?
Who among the idle people is qualified?
Until Lu Tiancong named someone, everyone was shocked...
Because the person he ordered was "Wen Wang Lin Su"!
As soon as this name came out, the Golden Palace was silent for ten seconds...
Lu Tiancong smiled slightly: "Although His Royal Highness King Wen does not wear the title of court official, his way of governing the world often has strange conspiracies. His Highness King Wen must have a clever way to solve the current situation of Da Cang. If he can enter the affairs of our country, Da Cang will
What a blessing!"
Bow deeply before His Majesty.
When the ministers saw the look in his eyes when he lowered his head, they all understood and agreed.
There's nothing you can do, you can't stop Lin Su from entering the court!
Haven't you seen His Majesty's thoughts yet?
He established the State Council, which was purely tailor-made for Lin Su. If you didn't nominate Lin Su, this glorious member of the State Council might be ruined.
All the ministers were all talented people. Once they figured this out, they all changed their stances.
I rush to recommend Lin Su.
At that time, the members of the State Council were confirmed, totaling seventeen people.
Almost all the most powerful second-rank officials and above in the court are among them.
In addition to the two people, Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng.
However, Zhang and Chen could not raise any objections, because they were originally members of the literary system. Wenyuan Pavilion had never been a court institution, nor was Bailu Academy.
The two of them looked at each other and caught a strange feeling in each other's eyes. What did it feel like?
Watch a show!
Ji Guang took the list drawn up by the prime minister himself, read it out one by one, and moved his eyes downward: "Do you have any objections to the confirmation of this list?"
All the ministers came out together and there was no objection!
Ji Guang nodded lightly: "Since there is no objection, then let's pass on the decree! My decree..."
"Here!" The imperial edict officer came out.
"By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Da Cang established the State Affairs Hall. Upon the proposal of the ministers, Lu Tiancong was appointed as the head of the State Affairs Hall. After being nominated by the head of Lu, the emperor appointed the members of the State Affairs Hall as follows: Lu Tiancong, Lin Su, He Jingjun, Zhou Yunzhi
, the capital of the Song Dynasty... These seventeen people will take office as members of the "Guo Shi Tang" from now on. The Guo Shi Tang will be merged into Bailu Academy and have the same name as the Institute of Observation, Zhizhi, Zhengxin, and Self-cultivation. All seventeen people will resign from their original official positions, and their grades will not be honored.
Change, admire this!"
After hearing the first half of the imperial edict, the sixteen people led by Lu Tiancong were all elated.
Members of the State Council who had a clear imperial edict were ten times more stable than before when the emperor summoned Glory on a whim. However, when they suddenly heard the second part, everyone was stunned...
What? All former official positions will be relinquished?
What? The State Affairs Hall is just a hall under White Deer Academy?
They were just exempted by an imperial edict?
And it was the ministers’ suggestion that Lu Tiancong be nominated?
Lu Tian's expression changed and turned black!
The faces of the six ministers all changed, and they were completely caught off guard!
The hearts of all the ministers in the palace were beating at the same time...
Their initial guess was correct; today was indeed an unprecedented purge.
However, His Majesty played a big trick on them and threw out the new concept of the State Council Hall.
All the ministers thought that the so-called State Affairs Hall was just a part-time job, just a layer of gold rimmed on their original positions. Who would have thought that this was a carefully planned drama!
Your Majesty is determined to change the senior officials in the court.
However, he chose to let the court officials raise it themselves.
The court officials were dominated by inertial thinking. They always wanted to have more titles and conveniences. They would bring relatives and friends as they did in the past, hoping that they would have a greater say in the affairs of the State Council in the future. However, no one thought that,
This is exactly what His Majesty wants. This group of top-level coterie who are related to each other are being blamed by His Majesty with such decisive tactics.
The edict has been issued!
Things cannot be changed!
After the imperial edict was read out, the imperial edict quietly looked at the sixteen ministers below.
The fifteen ministers' faces turned pale, and their eyes turned to Lu Tiancong.
Ji Guang, who was on the high platform, also looked at him quietly.
Lu Tian's expression changed, he smiled softly, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty... I respectfully accept the imperial edict! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
The other fifteen people looked at each other and accepted the imperial edict!
Zhang Juzheng gently wiped his hand on his thigh, raised his eyes, and met His Majesty's eyes...
Ji Guangdao: "Members of the State Affairs Hall must study state affairs diligently from now on. If you find anything, report it to me immediately!"
"yes!"
Ji Guang cast his eyes towards the main hall: "Prime Minister, all the six ministerial positions are vacant and need to be filled. All the ministers will come to discuss first. Who can be the prime minister?"
Chen Geng took a step forward: "The old ministers recommended a person, Mr. Zhou Zhang, who is upright, honest, and has great talents..."
Zhang Juzheng agrees and recommends this...
A new round in the court officially begins...
Zhou Zhang is the prime minister!
Under his suggestion, six ministers were put in place!
The five ministers are generally normal, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment is He Lefu, the original left minister of the Ministry of punishment.
The Minister of Rites is Deng Qing, the former Right Minister.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was the original Zuo Shilang Yi Bo.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the former Zuo Shilang Xiang Qingge.
The Minister of Household Affairs is Li Mingyu, the former Zuo Shilang.
These ministers were all at odds with the original ministers and were suppressed to the point where they could hardly hold their heads up.
With the new dynasty and new atmosphere, it is natural for these salted fish to turn over.
However, the special post of Minister of the Ministry of War, which attracts the world's attention, left everyone in the palace dumbfounded because this person was Zhang Haoran.
Zhang Haoran's nomination was proposed by Zhou Zhang. Zhang Juzheng firmly opposed it, claiming that Zhang Haoran was young and inexperienced and had too low qualifications. The opposition was still loud and his attitude was very determined.
In the end, His Majesty personally agreed and took the picture: "What the great scholar said is a big mistake! You regard the position of Minister of the Ministry of War as an honor. However, the country is surrounded by enemies on all sides and there are many wastes to be made. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is as heavy as a mountain.
!Three generations of the Zhang family have strong character and righteousness. How can they refuse in the face of danger? I have appointed Zhang Haoran to take over the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War!"
Zhang Juzheng had ups and downs in his heart, but he could only accept it.
Next, is the adjustment of other important official positions except for the six ministers.
In the Ministries, Husbandry and Punishment Departments, the Zuo Shilang became the Minister, and there was a vacancy for the Left Shilang. Logically speaking, it was the Right Shilang who should take up the post. However, Zhou Zhang once again mentioned a few people who were unexpected, Qiu Mochi, the Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department,
Li Yangxin, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Huo Qi, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Husbandry.
When this was mentioned, everyone in the Golden Palace finally understood.
There is some nepotism involved, but these people are all people who stood firmly by His Majesty's side at the beginning of His Majesty's uprising. Do you dare to object?
This is the road Lin Su paved for them that day!
The names of the five of them have been included in the only three clear reports in the past hundreds of years. The five of them have already been deeply imprinted with the current Majesty.
In addition to these important positions, there is another position that is also very important, that is, Zhengqing of the Supervision Department.
The Zhengqing of the Supervision Department turned out to be Lei Zheng. After Lei Zheng was inexplicably involved in the East Palace assassination case and was beheaded by Ji Shangdian, the post of Zhengqing of the Supervision Department remained vacant for a long time.
Zhu Shiyun worked hard and even gave his daughter to He Jingjun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, as a concubine.
Maybe his daughter inherited more of his obesity genes, and He Jingjun didn't like it very much, so he couldn't become a regular employee.
There is another person who has also worked hard, and that is Duan Shangao, a transcendent figure in the Supervision Department. This person was originally a second-grade man, at the same level as Zhengqing. Lei Zheng could not control him, and he did not participate in the management of the Supervision Department. He was a transcendent figure.
The characters spray the sky and the ground with no worries.
On the one hand, he has left a good reputation in the world for being outspoken.
On the other hand, he was a loyal dog of the former monarch Ji Shang, and Ji Shang never retained his trust in him.
In theory, there is no obstacle for such a person to take over as Zhengqing of the Supervision Bureau. However, Lin Su completely ruined him with a piece of news (the news pointed out that Duan Shangao was Ji Shang's loyal dog). Duan Shangao is currently shrinking in the
The Supervision Department hardly dares to go out if nothing happens.
Ji Guang will naturally not use such a person, so the new Inspector General is Deng Hongbo!
Yes, he is the former Right Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Deng Dapao in the officialdom!
Deng Dapao has an upright character and has been injured countless times by cannons. This time he finally embarked on the path he should have embarked on long ago: Zhengqing of the Supervision Department!
The Supervision Department is the place where reasonable shots are fired!
