Dajin royal family

Chapter 405

But the problem also followed, a court must have a center.

Now Jiang Chengxiao is unwilling to ascend the throne, and Zheng Shanyuan does not want Jiang Chengxiao to ascend the throne now, which is embarrassing.

Furthermore, none of the four of them mentioned the queen mother, which was tantamount to directly eliminating Jiang Yan and others, and did not plan to support a puppet emperor.

In this way, there is no imperial court without an emperor. Can it still be regarded as an imperial court?

Therefore, this is the biggest problem that bothers them.

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the three of Pei Ju and asked, "Three adults, what do you think about the affairs of the court?"

The underlying meaning of this sentence is to ask, what should we do, whether to establish an emperor or not to establish an emperor?
Pei Ju's expression was strange, could they not establish an emperor?
But Jiang Chengxiao didn't talk about Jiang Yan and others, and the first emperor passed the throne to himself, and he himself is unwilling to ascend the throne now.

What does that make him say?
"I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Pei Ju asked cautiously.

You can't be careless, now I don't understand what Jiang Chengxiao is thinking.

Wang Hong and Zheng Shanyuan also looked at Jiang Chengxiao. To some extent, it was Liang Wang who took the initiative.

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled and stood up slowly.

The black clothes drag the floor, and the figure is long.

With his back to Pei Ju and the others, he watched the flowers blooming in the courtyard, and his voice slowly drifted over.

"It can be followed by precedent."

precedent?

The three of them were a little puzzled. There was no precedent for such a thing.

There has never been such a thing in all dynasties.

At this moment, Zheng Shanyuan was suddenly blessed, and he thought of one thing.

"The precedent His Highness said is Zhou Zhaogong?"

Hearing this, Pei Ju and Wang Hong's pupils shrank suddenly.

Both of them looked at the slender figure in surprise.

"Hahaha." Jiang Chengxiao didn't reply to Zheng Shanyuan, but just walked out of the lobby.

Seeing this, how can they not understand, this is what King Liang thought.

Pei Ju swallowed, and his eyes couldn't help falling on the will.

Emperor Xian's poisonous eyes, King Liang's deep thoughts!
Wang Hong licked his dry lips, looked at Pei Ju and Zheng Shanyuan who were also in shock, and said bitterly, "Your Highness really reminds me of Emperor Wu."

Pei Ju was silent.

Hey, Emperor Wu?

Yes, he admitted that King Liang was similar to Emperor Wu in some ways.

Such as strategy, martial arts.

But there is one thing they are different from.

In the past, they could guess what Emperor Wu was thinking, but he couldn't figure out what King Liang was thinking.

This time Liang Wang was unwilling to ascend the throne, he almost subconsciously thought that Liang Wang wanted to have a good show of "three remonstrances from the officials" and then he had no choice but to ascend the throne.

But this guess failed.

The king of Liang was unwilling to ascend the throne. He held the late emperor's true edict in his hand and refused to ascend the throne.

Do you really think Liang Wang is loyal and patriotic?
Do you really think that King Liang will rule the world in the future and return the power to the descendants of the first emperor?
Just a joke, at that time, even if King Liang agrees, his powerful soldiers will never agree.

Furthermore, this move not to enthroned not only showed Liang Wang's "loyalty to the emperor", but also fully controlled the military and political power.

This is no different from the emperor.

It's just a name.

Popularity, fame, power.

King Liang wanted it all.

But he couldn't find anything wrong, because King Liang held the enthronement edict in his hand, and if he didn't ascend the throne, it was because he was loyal to the king.

"Brother Zheng." Pei Ju softly called Zheng Shanyuan.

"Ok?"

"The blue sparrow has grown up."

Pei Ju sighed a little. He used to think that Jiang Chengxiao was smart and could accomplish great things, but he never expected that the current King Liang is no longer that young boy.

His wrist and scheming made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

He was led by the nose by Jiang Chengxiao everywhere, and he couldn't figure out what Jiang Chengxiao was thinking at all.

This is the most terrifying!

Zheng Shanyuan nodded, "Yes, I have indeed grown up."

Pei Ju glanced at the relieved Zheng Shanyuan, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Still dreaming, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

The next day.

Zheng Shanyuan and others asked the queen mother to announce the late emperor's edict and let Liang Wang ascend the throne.

The queen mother agreed.

But Liang Wang refused, and said: "I am from the same line as King Zhao, and I have inherited the blessings of two generations of emperors. How can I overstep?"

After Liang Wang refused for the first time, Pei Ju once again asked the queen mother to let Liang Wang obey the edict of the first emperor to ascend the throne.

The Queen Mother agreed again.

But Liang Wang still refused, the reason was the same as the previous one.

Finally, on the third day, Wang Hong led officials of all sizes in Taiyuan to ask Liang Wang to obey the late emperor's edict and ascend the throne.

This time King Liang did not refuse, but expressed helplessly that as a royal family, he has the responsibility to calm down the world, and he is willing to follow the ancient law of the Zhou Dynasty for reconciliation, so that the world will be peaceful in the future. He is willing to return power to the descendants of the late emperor.

What is Zhou Zhao Gonghe?

At the time of Ji Zhou, a "Chinese riot" broke out during the reign of King Li of Zhou.

It was called Zhou Zhao Gonghe in history, and it was also called Republican Administration.

Simply put, the country will not have a monarch, but will have a prime minister who holds power.

Of course Jiang Chengxiao didn't want future generations to give him the title of 'Prime Minister Jiang', so he secretly discussed with Zheng Shanyuan and others.

In the end, the queen mother issued a decree, canonizing Jiang Chengxiao as the king of Zhao, performing the duties of the son of heaven, setting up a hundred officials, purging Yu Nei, and restoring Jin Shiheshan.

Except for the name of the emperor, Jiang Chengxiao has already obtained all the power of the emperor.

I have to say that after playing this trick, Jiang Chengxiao gained another wave of reputation among the people.

Needless to say, holding the late emperor's edict in his hand, he is unwilling to be enthroned, only willing to follow the ancient rules and restore the mountains and rivers. What a man of high moral character he is!
Of course, a smart person can see what this 'King Zhao' is up to at a glance.

However, it is precisely because everyone is smart that everyone is more aware of current affairs!
Everyone understands that King Zhao is the hot stove, and the one from Jinyang Palace is nothing more than leftovers.

After Jiang Chengxiao was canonized as King Zhao, he immediately reorganized the government.

The first is to re-establish an administrative team.

That is, six books.

Pei Ju, Minister of Rites, Wang Hong, Minister of Officials, Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of Household, Yu Chijiong, Minister of War, Li Chun, Minister of Industry, and Wei Shijian, Minister of Punishment.

Afterwards, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple and other temples and government offices all have arrangements.

After the six ministers were confirmed, Jiang Chengxiao issued the first royal decree to establish the Tiange, and the six ministers assisted him in handling the government affairs.

Although the late emperor would often let the six ministers handle the government affairs before, it was unofficial after all, and everyone just regarded it as the trust of the six ministers by the late emperor.

Of course, Shang Shuling and Zuo Xiangguo, who were not dismissed before, originally did this.

Now that King Zhao has established the Heavenly Pavilion and publicly appointed six ministers to assist the government, this is equivalent to adding six more prime ministers at once!
Officially recognized prime minister.

Many people are saying in private that these are the six elders!
Among them, it is not surprising that Pei Ju, Zheng Shanyuan, and Wang Hong are among the elders of the pavilion. Yu Chijiong has a long history of military exploits, and it is not impossible to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. The precarious and unknown people.

Wei Shijian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, is barely able to do it, after all, he was the governor of Zhuojun before.

But many people found out that Li Chun was just a young official of the Liaodong Military Weapons Supervision Department. What qualifications does he have to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?

Therefore, regarding Li Chun's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, many officials actually have a lot of opinions in private.

Now that Jiang Chengxiao has appointed King Zhao to act as the Son of Heaven, he naturally cannot continue to live in the original Prince Liang Mansion.

Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked King Zhao to live in Jinyang Palace and use Jinyang Palace as a temporary residence.

King Zhao refused, and said that the place where the Queen Mother and others lived could not be tampered with.

There is no way, for the etiquette system, Pei Ju can only play again, expand the scale of Taiyuan City, and build a new palace.

King Zhao still refused, evading his refusal with the excuse of 'I can't bear to waste money and people'.

In the end, Pei Ju could only let Zheng Shanyuan and Wang Hong cooperate with him to persuade King Zhao.

After all, there is no shortage of etiquette!

King Zhao had no choice but to agree to expand the scale of Taiyuan City and build a new palace.

However, the time limit is very wide, and the project can be completed within three years.

Therefore, King Zhao temporarily lived in the original Prince Liang's mansion, and the Taiyuan County Yamen was changed to the administrative office of King Zhao.

King Zhao's doing the work of the son of heaven is equivalent to opening a new era, so Pei Ju and others have asked King Zhao to change his year name.

After all, they can't use the 'Zhaowu' mentioned by the traitor Yu Wenshu, can they?

But don't laugh your big teeth out.

However, when the issue of the reign title is involved, it is natural to talk about the posthumous title of the first emperor and other issues.

'Emperor Lie' was also given by Yu Wenshu, so they naturally couldn't admit it and had to overthrow it.Because they are orthodox, naturally they cannot recognize the posthumous title given to the first emperor by the rebellious officials and thieves.

But everyone is entangled in the issue of the posthumous title of the first emperor.

On this basis, the first political meeting of Tiange was held under such circumstances.
