Chapter 436 Emperor Chongping: I don't want you to think, I want me to think
The next day, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month
Early in the morning, as soon as the drums started ringing at the fifth watch, Jia Heng put on an official robe in python uniform. Under the supervision of the servants of the Jia family and the soldiers and retinue who came to meet him, he mounted his horse and headed towards the palace garden in the cool spring breeze.
.
Daming Palace, shaded by an old osmanthus tree, is a majestic vermilion palace with carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets. The waning moon shines coldly, and the glazed tiles are flowing with light, as clear as water.
Because the Lantern Festival has just passed, the octagonal palace lanterns are still hanging on the eaves, swaying in the wind. Looking from a distance, the candlelight is bright, clusters like clouds, and bright like clouds.
Beside the beams and pillars and on the Danqi, groups of guards in brocade robes wearing bright red band-patterned flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists stood in the corridor, looking solemn and alert to the surroundings.
These were the ceremonial guards of the five major thousand households and the factory guards of the inner factory that Jia Heng had previously adjusted the Jinyi Mansion's duties and excluded.
In the grand white marble square, hundreds of officials of the Han Dynasty were crowded together, standing in civil and military positions, either holding ivory and jade scepters, or holding locust wood jade scepters, wearing black gauze hats on their heads, and official robes embroidered with birds and animals.
Civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes to talk. They were gathered according to rank. Many officials had a bit of fatigue after the festival on their faces, and some were elderly, low on energy and dozing off.
Jia Heng, who is dressed in a round-collared python suit with a group pattern and a wingless crown with a mountain character on his head, has a tall figure. Standing in the queue of martial artists, he looks like he stands out among the chickens.
Without him, youth is too much.
Jia Zheng, who was among the crowd, was also looking at the young man who looked like a orchid and a jade tree, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Not a weak crown, but a first-rank official and a high-ranking official. He is dressed in a python suit and has great power. This is the Qilin of his Jia family!
Qin Ye, who was talking to Jia Zheng, also looked at his son-in-law from time to time, with a more reserved expression.
Not far away, Baoling Hou Shi Nai, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye, Beijing Wang Shuirong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Shi Guangzhu, Ma Shang and other military governors were all present.
Baoling Hou Shi Nai and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding approached and exchanged a few words with Jia Heng.
The Prince of Nan'an County also nodded towards Jia Heng, while Prince Shuirong of Beijing's eyes were gentle.
The two princes were originally relatives of the Jia family. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the princess of Nan'an County and her daughter went to the Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia's mother, but she had not dealt with the Ningguo Mansion that Jia Heng was in charge of before.
As for the other nobles, their expressions were mostly cold and indifferent.
In addition, there are two young generals in their twenties, one tall and the other thin, talking to several people.
Seeing Jia Heng looking at the two of them, thinking they didn't know each other, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, smiled and said: "Zi Yu, those two are Jin Xiaoyu, the second-class son of the Prince of Xining County, and the other one is the first-class son of the Prince of Dongping County."
Both Mu Yuan and Mu Yuan were awarded titles based on their merits, not because of their ancestors' influence. The two of them traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to congratulate them, and they arrived on the ninth day of the lunar month. Today, they are here to pay homage to the Holy One."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I have heard about the reputation of the two princes for a long time."
The princes of Dongping and Xining came to Beijing. As the governor of Jinyi Mansion, he knew everything about them.
The two major princes of Dongping and Xining have their princely residences in Shenjing City, and they even have people of the same clan living there.
The Prince of Xining County, who was King Zhou's comrade-in-arms, sent the crown prince to the capital to serve as an official, which was more like a sign of surrender to Emperor Chongping.
The Prince of Xining County was in poor health, so he left his son in the north, fearing that he would not be able to suppress the situation and ensure stability in the northwest.
As for the prince of Dongping County, Shizhen Yunnan, the external perception has always been "who supports whom in the central government". It seems that he is not involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son, and his visit to Beijing this time is still in the name of congratulations.
Jia Heng remembered their appearance and stature in his mind, and immediately looked away.
In the original work of Red Mansions, when Jia's mother celebrated her eightieth birthday, the princes of the two counties realized that the Jia family was going to be in trouble and did not come to congratulate her. The courtesy of setting up a sacrificial shed at the funeral of Qin Keqing was almost completely different from that of Qin Keqing.
"Dongping and Xining are the two major military groups of Chen and Han, and they are also the largest force among the many military leaders of Chen and Han." Jia Heng thought.
There are many mountains in the Chen Han army, and the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes in the founding line also have their own power divisions.
The Jingying camp is dominated by the Second Duke of Rongning, and the Five Army Governor's Mansion is structured by the two princes of Beijing and Nan'an, and the other eight Dukes.
In addition, in recent years, with the corruption and degeneration of the founding nobles, Taizong and Shanghuang have created a situation that echoes the cabinet.
At this time, Jin and Mu came forward and greeted Shi Ding and Shi Nai. The two men looked majestic and had serious faces. At first glance, they were military generals who had been on the battlefield.
Mu Yuan was a little thin, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I guess this is brother Jia Xian, right? He is really talented and has a majestic appearance. I almost thought he was Lord Daihua just now."
Jia Heng returned the gesture with his hand raised, and was about to say something modest.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled and said: "What Brother Mu Xian said is very wrong. As far as Brother Yu knows, Brother Jia Xian is not the direct bloodline of Daihua Gong, but a side branch."
Although these words are true, in the ears of others, they feel awkward no matter how they hear them.
Therefore, Liu Fang, former minister of the Military Governor's Mansion, approached and smiled: "Brother Jin has good eyesight. Lord Jia is indeed not a descendant of the bloodline of Duke Daihua."
At this time, there was already a bit of a joking attitude of laughing and scolding.
Jia Heng took a look at Jin Xiaoyu and realized that his name was too picky. Seeing that he was tall and tall, with a Chinese-character face, he looked thick-eyed, but there was a bit of arrogance in his features.
Jia Heng glanced at Liu Fang coldly and ignored him.
Liu Fang is a common man!
Mu Yuan smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Uncle Shibo, we are warriors who compete on the battlefield and gain fame for ourselves. We only care about the shadow of our ancestors, but there is nothing interesting about it."
Liu Fang's eyes flashed with darkness, but she did not answer.
At this time, Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye and Beijing Wang Shuirong looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Shui Rong whispered: "Shibo, Jia Ziyu is quite capable of training soldiers."
The Prince of Nan'an County twisted his beard with his hand, his expression slightly paused, and he said in a low voice: "The ability to train troops to compete with the two armies is still different. Even when the Prince of Xining County was there, he said that Jian Nu is not comparable to Hulu."
Seeing Liu Fang coming forward to provoke, Shui Rong frowned and said, "Now that Jia Ziyu is in charge of the capital camp, he is also a martial artist. From now on, I will serve as a minister in the same palace and jointly control military aircraft and privy council. I still need to give him some face."
Prince Nan'an twirled his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Young people are just competitive. I was mostly like this when I was young."
Bang bang...
At this time, only the sound of a whip was heard, and all the civil and military officials stopped talking, lined up, and waited respectfully.
Jia Heng also held an ivory and jade wat, had plastic surgery to slim down his appearance, and entered the palace.
His position is quite high. As the Deputy Envoy of the Great Han Dynasty's Jingying Camp, he is second only to the five governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. He ranks sixth in the military rankings, so he is even ahead of Liu Fang.
The civil and military officials, led by the cabinet ministers, six ministers, and ministers, climbed the stairs and entered the palace. At this moment, Emperor Chongping was sitting on the golden chair, and the sound of dripping jade could be heard in the palace, which seemed particularly clear and clear.
"I have seen you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live, long live."
The shouts of long live the civil and military officials sounded in the solemn and solemn Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace.
"Everyone is safe."
Then came the sound of thanksgiving from the mountains and the tsunami.
Emperor Chongping's eyes wandered over the dark crowd of civil and military officials below, and his eyes fell on Jia Heng's face. He paused for a moment and winked at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan held up the silk and unfolded the imperial edict, and a sharp voice rang out in the palace: "The emperor is supported by heaven, and the edict says: The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs. Soldiers are the key points of the military state. The leader is in charge of military aircraft, and there must be no privy ministers to plan.
Make a plan. I will add a Military Aircraft Department, and the person who is responsible for military affairs will be the Minister of Military Aircraft, and will assist in planning the affairs against the captives..."
As the holy edict was recited in Dai Quan's high-pitched voice, all the officials in the Daming Palace fell silent.
Obviously, Emperor Chongping only discussed the matter among a few cabinet ministers on the matter of adding a military aircraft department, and then made an arbitrary decision in one word.
Of course, there are also cases where the military and aircraft ministers are just dispatched, and each minister has his or her own duties, which is why the official system has not been completely overturned.
The ministers and old gods below are all there, with different thoughts.
Although many civil servants were as angry as if they had eaten flies, they could only comfort themselves. Among the ministers of military aircraft were two civil servants: the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War. The other three were the Prince of Nan'an, the Prince of Beijing, and the Jingying Jie.
Deputy envoy Jia Heng and others seemed to be crammed in to make up the numbers.
After finishing reading, the military aircraft pilots also initially selected a few people. Hang Min, the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of War, and Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing. In addition, there were two people who surprised Jia Heng. They were Jin Xiaoyu, the son of Xining County, and Dongping County.
Mu Yuan, the king's son.
Jia Heng looked gloomy and sighed secretly in his heart, Emperor Chongping had a brilliant mind.
The two military groups in Dongping and Xining have been away from the center for too long, and they should let their children serve in the center as a check.
"This is also the emperor's official consolidation of imperial power. I don't know how much I contributed to the emperor during the military parade at Anshun Gate."
When Jia Heng heard that his name was on the list of military ministers, his heart felt calm and there was no fluctuation.
When Shi Ding heard his name being read above, his face flushed and his heart agitated. Although the military aircraft driver was lightly dispatched and even mixed in with a group of juniors, this was only the first step in his recovery.
Yang Guochang's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
"Once the enemy prisoners enter the country, the military aircraft department will be useless! Even if it is not withdrawn at that time, it will be reduced to a joke between the government and the public for a day!" Yang Guochang snorted in his heart and disagreed.
How can the Han Dynasty set up some privy council and military aircraft to reverse the decline in its border affairs?
Han Huang looked indifferent. Although he realized that the Chu party was gradually taking over the border affairs, which was somewhat inappropriate, he could only tolerate it in view of the overall situation.
"Next is the court minister." Han Huang looked deeply and glanced at Yang Guochang from the corner of his eye.
At this time, the six ministers, ministers, or officials of the fifth rank in Beijing almost held their breath, waiting for the next topic.
Different from the court meeting, the six ministers, the censor of the capital, the six subjects, the minister of general administration, the minister of Dali and the censor in charge participated in the discussion.
According to the "Dahan Huidian" revised during the Longzhi period: the selection of cabinet bachelors and official ministers was recommended by the court or by special decree.
When recommending cabinet ministers, Jiuqing, together with the imperial censor of Qiandu, and the Imperial College, usually offer wine and recommend ministers. Others are not qualified.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a while and said: "Since the cabinet elder He Ge has retired and returned to his hometown, and the great scholar Li has gone to Beizhenbian, the cabinet has been short of people and manpower. There have been many neglects in government affairs. It is urgent to make up for the shortage. The ministers should recommend talents.
If you are capable and talented, you will be able to foresee the affairs of the machine and help you deal with Yin and Yang."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace was moved.
However, before Cheng Xin, the general envoy of general administration, could leave the class, he handed over his hand and played. A man jumped out of the class of six subjects and said: "Your Majesty, Hu Yi, the official of the Li Ke, is impeaching Huagaidian University.
Scholar Yang Guochang is an idiot and incompetent..."
Like a political signal, this disrupted the proceedings, and the ministers looked at each other in confusion, ready to make a move.
It can be said that when Jia Heng questioned Yang Guochang in the Xihe Hall, the aftermath did not dissipate, but instead brewed a larger undercurrent, which broke out at this moment.
There had been a series of liaisons, and the academicians who had prepared memorials in advance came out one after another to present memorials to impeach Mr. Yang Ge.
The voices of the courtiers who defended Mr. Yang Ge seemed to be sparse.
Prince Nan'an, Prince Beijing and other Wu Xun watched this scene with cold eyes. The Military Aircraft Office was established and Wu Xun gradually took charge of side affairs. This was already a great victory. They could just sit back and watch the storm.
Emperor Chongping looked at the civil and military officials below with an indifferent expression and said nothing.
Jia Heng stood in the middle of the class, it was none of his business.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the court, I glanced at Yang Guochang, and saw that he was really calm, as if he was surrounded by flies buzzing, with drooped eyelids and a deaf ear.
"Mr. Yangge, is there anything wrong with the impeachment of the ministers?" After a while, he put away a stack of memorials. Emperor Chongping did not read them, but asked in a deep voice.
Yang Guochang held an ivory and jade wat in his hand, bowed and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is the chief minister of the imperial court. Now that the country is in dire straits, the officials are discussing it. The only one who can be punished is the old minister. I beg for his bones."
After saying that, he knelt down and raised the jade wat horizontally.
This response directly stunned the members of the Zhejiang Party who were trying their best to show off their efforts, as if they were punched in the air.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent and noncommittal. He turned to look at Han Huang below and said, "What do you think Han Qing is doing?"
Han Huang looked calm and said loudly: "Now that all the officials have discussed it together, the elder of the cabinet must make his own judgment. The saint is wise and wise, and his candle shines thousands of miles away, so he can make his own decision."
Emperor Chongping picked up the memorial on the desk, flipped through it, turned to look at Jia Heng, and asked: "Recall that ten months ago, Jia Qing was the first to impeach Mr. Yang Ge in the Xihe Palace. Now that the entire dynasty is full of civil and military officials, everyone is here."
Why didn't Jia Qing say a word about the impeachment?"
Jia Heng was named at this moment, and all the officials looked sideways.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "In the past, I expressed my feelings when I was impeached. Now, when all the princes are impeached in the temple, I only second my opinion, bow my head respectfully, and listen respectfully to the verdict."
When it comes to political stance, the most important thing is to avoid having two ends. Otherwise, the banner that was finally raised will fall down from there.
Emperor Chongping: "..."
After being silent for a long time, he looked at the angry courtiers and said slowly: "The academician of Huagaidian has neglected his duties due to his old age. However, he is responsible for the ministry's financial expenditure and is conscientious in his work. If he has made any omissions, he will be fined for one year to see the consequences."
Han Huang looked indifferent and sighed softly in his heart.
Is that really the case?
Jia Heng frowned, thinking about Emperor Chongping's intentions.
Emperor Chongping may have had the idea of exchange, but I don't know if it was his illusion. The emperor seemed not to want the Zhejiang Party to get their wish.
"This is the nature of the emperor. He has a clear understanding of the situation in the dynasty, so naturally he does not want to be led by Han Huang. Although Yang Guochang disagreed with the emperor on side matters and gradually failed to keep up, he has not yet reached the level of complete disgust. Moreover,
Now that Li has gone to the north and is chasing Yang Li again, the Zhejiang Party will really become a single party with no one to control it."
Jia Heng tried to put himself into the perspective of Emperor Chongping.
As an emperor, it is impossible to act according to his own temper. There is no need to unite the north and restrain the south, and then let the Zhejiang Party rule. Eventually, the taxes in Jiangnan will gradually fail to be collected. At that time, the bad reputation can be directly borne by the emperor.
Nowadays, the scholars from Jiangnan are scolding the people of Qi. There are many people in the countryside pavilions calling them "old thief of Guochang". When Yang leaves, it will be the emperor who will be scolded.
"I can't get too close to the Zhejiang Party. On the contrary, the Chu Party is better." Jia Heng thought.
His current political power is actually very special. It is independent of Wu Xun. Among civil servants, it is only somewhat related to the Ministry of War of the Chu Party.
Thinking about it like this, I took a peek at Han Huang's face, but because I was in the second row, I could only see the profile of his face, and couldn't see the details clearly, but I could guess that it might not look good.
At this moment, Han Huang was actually very calm, or in other words, he was used to Emperor Chongping's "pua" because he had already figured out what he wanted.
Thief Yang can't last more than a year!
A one-year salary penalty is a strong political signal. Of course, in the eyes of some people, it may be that the emperor has set off a smoke bomb to create suspicion.
But if the fog is cleared up, the position of chief assistant is already in jeopardy, given that he has lost the right to direct border affairs and has offended the generals in the capital.
At this time, the officials below seemed a little dissatisfied, and were about to go out to present the report. Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "Today, the court will discuss matters such as replenishing the number of cabinet members. If you have any floating opinions, we will discuss it another day."
."
All of a sudden, the restless ministers were suppressed, but some clever ones had already begun to think about it. They turned around and handed the memorial to the General Affairs Department, copied it to the residence newspaper, and added more than a dozen bullets and various curses.
Yang Guochang's figure was trembling and towering, and he thanked him: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness."
At this time, Jiu Qing began to push.
The final list included Qi Kun, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Fang Huan, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Mo, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Pan Bingyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Yu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Yao Yu is now editing books in Hongwen Hall. He is a clear figure and has a good reputation among scholars. He was recommended by Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu.
All the above people have one distinct characteristic - they are from Hanlin background.
In today's cabinet, except for the chief minister Yang Guochang, who is not from the Hanlin Academy, all the bachelors in the cabinet have been trained in the Hanlin Academy.
Emperor Chongping looked at the summary of the names, his stern eyes lingered on the names of several people, and in the mood of the officials holding their breath and looking forward to it, he raised his head, fell on Jia Heng's face, and asked: "
Does Jia Qing have any good words?"
As soon as this statement came out, the court was in an uproar.
This is about selecting cabinet ministers. How can we ask for advice from a kid with a yellow mouth?
Prince Nan'an frowned, feeling a little jealous of the emperor's favor.
At this time, Peng Ye, the left deputy imperial censor, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the court recommends cabinet ministers and has its own rules and regulations. How can we allow Wu Xun to interfere with the civil and military order?"
Are these people worthy of letting you listen here? They have received so much grace from the emperor and still dare to speak?
Emperor Chongping glanced at Peng Ye, the left deputy imperial censor, with a pale face, and said: "Jia Ziyu is the Minister of Military and Aircraft. Although he cannot recommend candidates, he can still make suggestions and fill in the gaps. I will open up my own way. Peng Qing thinks it's not possible?"
In fact, it is just a reminder to give the Military Aircraft Department some weight to prevent it from becoming a vassal of the cabinet.
When the ministers heard this, their hearts were slightly shaken.
Jia Heng said: "I believe that ministers in the cabinet assist the Holy One in coordinating government affairs and should select capable and capable people. So those like Yushi Peng who only know how to criticize ministers and are helpless in military and national affairs should not be admitted to the cabinet."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present looked strange. This Jia Ziyu was really upright and unassailable. He wanted to fight Peng Ye until death.
Peng Ye's face was ashen and he cursed in his heart, "You are so brave!"
At this moment, it is impossible for him to stand up and lash out, talking nonsense and saying "Why can't I join the cabinet?"
Qingliu is still shameless?
Peng Ye could only snort coldly to show his disdain.
Emperor Chongping's expression paused and he said: "Jia Qing's words are not unreasonable as the cabinet ministers choose knowledgeable and capable talents."
When Peng Ye heard this, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out from his back. What did the emperor mean by this?
The next step for the left deputy capital censor is to be governor, governor of a province, and then transferred back to the capital. At that time, there is a possibility of joining the cabinet.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a while and said: "Qi Kun, the Minister of Household Affairs, has a clean and honest attitude and is meticulous in dealing with wealth. I asked him to enter the Wenhua Hall to predict the maintenance of the machine."
When Qi Kun heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by thunder. He knelt down and worshiped each other with a bang. His cheeks were flushed and his voice was trembling: "I thank the Holy One for his kindness, but my liver and brain are all stained. It is difficult to repay His grace."
At this time, Han Huang felt a cold air hit his back, and his hands and feet were cold.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that all his schemes had been discovered by the emperor.
Yang Guochang was also slightly moved, but his expression didn't show anything.
He originally didn't expect the junior Qi Kun to join the cabinet, thinking that the emperor would beat him up, but he didn't expect... an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, Jia Heng felt a little strange.
Emperor Chongping, what does this mean?
"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it!"
Is the promotion of Qi Kun into the cabinet a blow to Han Huang, or is it a preparation to replace Yang Guochang?
No matter how you explain this, it seems to make sense.
The emperor's thoughts are sometimes not easy to understand.
In fact, the emperor is the most brilliant pua master, good at pulling and pulling. While using you, he has a spare tire at the same time, and even casts a wide net to hone (test) you.
"When the emperor used Wang Ziteng, I was actually a spare tire. Now that Yang Guochang can't help it, the emperor seems to be looking for a successor. So in the emperor's heart, which one is the spare tire, Han Huang or Li Zan?" Jia Heng thought.
After thinking about it for a long time, I just felt that what Li'er said before was indeed true, and the emperor was indeed good at wielding power.
This is also a qualified skill for a mature emperor. He cannot be like Chongzhen, who was fooled around by civil servants and changed his chief and assistant too frequently. In the end, a brick was thrown at both the government and the public, and several cabinet bachelors were defeated.
This in itself shows that the emperor has no independent opinion and just comes up with whatever he wants.
"Even if I was put to great use before, it's a matter of choice whether a high-level hunter will always appear as a prey." Jia Heng recalled Li'er's reminder.
The reason why it was Li'er and not Jinyang was to alleviate the feeling of fear.
Emperor Chongping gave words of encouragement: "The duties of the Ministry of Household Affairs are very heavy. Qi Qing has the talent to manage affairs. He must be brave enough to do his job and be diligent and attentive."
Qi Kun bowed his hand to thank him and said yes again and again.
Just when everyone thought that the Qi Party had unexpectedly won a complete victory and the Zhejiang Party was disgraced, the Daming Palace, which had been silent for a while, once again heard the sound of gold and jade.
"Zhao Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, understands the laws and regulations and understands the government orders. He can be a bachelor of Dongge University. He can foresee the affairs of the government and still be in charge of the affairs of the ministry."
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of the civil and military officials suddenly changed, and their hearts were shocked. Someone from the Zhejiang Party also entered the cabinet, so there are now six bachelors?
Well, there is another one who has gone to the north, and the actual governor-general is more powerful, so now the cabinet is still five people.
At this moment, Han Huang's mind was empty and his eyes were indifferent. His judgment was not wrong.
Yang Thief cannot last long!
Now it was Yang Guochang's turn, and he didn't know what it was like.
There are usually five cabinet ministers in the cabinet. Now that Li Zan is garrisoning the north, there are still five cabinet ministers, which seems reasonable.
But this is a signal. Even if the north is suppressed and the south is suppressed, it is not impossible to change the manpower.
"No matter what, by the end of the year, the rectification of the salt affairs will be effective. Jia Heng's son is in a bad situation. His Majesty knows that he can't leave me." Yang Guochang thought.
At this moment, Zhao Mo went out to thank him and bowed his head.
A dignified minister, who has only now joined the cabinet, one can imagine the sadness and joy in his heart.
At this point, the Zhejiang Party and the Qi Party have won and lost each other, and the turbulent political situation seems to be balanced again.
