Chapter 347 Killing Yuan and worshiping the prime minister!Down

In the court.

The Son of Heaven pondered for a long time, then slowly sat up from the bed, coughed softly twice, his face was still pale, it was obvious that the wound left on the execution ground a few days ago was still there, and his mind was always in fear. lead to the current depression.

But after being frightened by this, although he was a little bit bloody, his thoughts became calmer.

"Cao Mengde used to hold it with a sword to force Xu Shao's words. He has the name of being a minister in troubled times, and he also has the meaning of being a hero in troubled times. His talents and courage are all top-notch. He can assassinate Mushan in public, and he is also loyal and courageous. I believe that he can escape, and I also believe that he can summon King Qin's troops!"

The Son of Heaven said calmly: "But Mushan is not stable, and my position is definitely not stable!"

"How does Your Majesty want to appease Taifu Mu?" The old eunuch asked in a low voice.

"Zhao Banban, do you know that Mushan held the handle I left that night and clearly has the ability to change the world, why did he suddenly change his mind, leave my life behind, and keep my throne?" The emperor's face became a little hideous.

"This..." The old eunuch smiled wryly, he dared not say some things.

"It's because of the queen mother!"

The Son of Heaven clenched his fists so tightly that even the blue veins were protruding, his pupils were dilated and bloodshot, and his voice seemed to come from hell-like venom: "His ambition in Mu Yuanzhong has been clearly revealed, he wants to be Lu Buwei !"

Lu Buwei, a legendary figure.

He played an extremely important role in the growth of the Great Qin Shihuang.

He has ambitions, but his ambition has never been to be an emperor.

He wants to be the emperor's father.

"Cough cough!!!"

The heavenly son's hysterical voice pulled the blood in his body, and traces of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth during the cough.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body. It's not worthwhile to injure the dragon's body for this rebellious minister!" The old eunuch hurried forward, supported the emperor, used his hands to push the palace for him, and calmed down the blood churning in his body. .

"Zhao Banban, I've thought about it!" The emperor calmed down, his voice became cold again, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the current government order can't even get out of this palace gate. If you want to fight with Mu Yuanzhong, it's impossible Impossible, I have to show weakness to have a chance!"

"so……"

He paused for a moment, and a decisive light burst out of his dark eyes: "Since he wants to be my father-in-law, I will fulfill him!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" The old eunuch was anxious.

"Zhao Banban, don't worry, what I gave him today, I will take it back bit by bit in the future!" The emperor was very calm, he had already calmed down to a cold level, and the scene of the execution ground would often come to mind in his mind , This scene kept urging him to endure, to endure a knife on his head, and this knife was hanging around his neck, making him have to grow up.

……

……

August seventeenth.

Today, the number of officials in the court has decreased a lot. Those who were beheaded and imprisoned later, and some of them returned home after returning to their old age. The number of officials in the court has been reduced since the mutiny on August [-]th. Almost a quarter of it.

Among them, the most valuable position is naturally the position of Sikong, which needs to be filled. The resignation of Yang Biao, the governor of the Jin Dynasty, will also be absent. Two of them were missing.

One radish and one hole, if the imperial court wants to maintain its operation, it must fill most of the positions. Of course, it is the court's number one demon king, Taifu Mu. It takes a long time to get into these official positions.

However, the pastoral party has gained a lot from this great change for the time being.

Jiang Lu has already filled the vacant position of Da Sinong, ranking in Jiuqing.

Xi Zhicai directly ascended to the Luoyang Order, governing the people's livelihood in Luoyang, and achieved success at a young age

Cheng Luo and Li Yan, these direct descendants of the pastoral party are now officials with a salary of a thousand stones, and they have become members of the palace officials, and they have also become the impression of the pastoral party in the government.

In the court hall, the emperor is like a puppet, sitting cross-legged, his face has improved a lot, but his spirit is still a little sluggish, he is silent, as if he has resigned himself to his fate, he doesn't care about the court affairs at all, only the officials are discussing, The nature of the discussion is the issue of filling the vacancy.

The first seat to fill the vacancy is Sikong.

It has been an unwritten rule since the past dynasties that the three princes rule the government.

Among the three princes in the current dynasty, Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei.

Situ Wangyun, Taiwei Lu Zhi, Weisi vacancy.

As far as civil officials are concerned, Sikong is the leader.

Now that the position of Sikong is vacant, many people are passionate about it.

Naturally, the Mudang group made progress and directly proposed that Mu Shan fill the vacant position of Sikong.

Mu Shan intervening in politics with the position of Tai Tuo, if it is discussed, it is somewhat inappropriate. The position of Tai Tuo is the responsibility of the emperor, who has the power to impeach the emperor, has the power to discipline the emperor, has the power to know the emperor, but has no right to interfere in politics.

If the position of Sikong is filled, it will be justifiable to be in charge of the government.

However, this proposal was met with a lot of resistance. Most of the court officials and officials were scholars. Although scholars were in power, although the parties were different, they had the same thinking, and they could not see the mud-legged superiority.

Mu Shan is a man with mud legs, not a scholar, so Sikong, who wants to become the head of civil servants, will naturally be blocked, even the family of his in-laws, Shangshu Caiyong, is holding the vote against it.

But Mu Shan doesn't care too much. For him, the position of Sikong can be obtained or not. He doesn't need to care. What he cares more about is when he can go to Changqiu Palace and taste it once. Eat marrow to know the taste, can't stop.

The quarrel continued, but it was of little significance. The shepherd party was strong, but scholars and officials were the general trend, and it was destined to be fruitless.

When the court was about to leave, the emperor spoke.

Although the Son of Heaven is like a puppet now, government orders do not come out of the palace, but after all, he is the Son of Heaven, the supreme emperor of the world, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the only legitimate master of the entire Han Dynasty, his words are still imperial decrees, but it is difficult to say whether there is human dignity.

"Everyone loves you, I understand in my heart!"

The Son of Heaven stood up and faced the officials indifferently. Today, he gave the officials the impression that he was a bit young and angry. He said very bluntly: "I have been on the throne for many days, and at the age of a young man, I am not capable enough. I almost let the rebellious officials I am very ashamed of the chaotic government. The government depends entirely on the support of the Taifu to achieve today's prosperity. The position of Sikong is not enough to demonstrate the ability of the Taifu. Therefore, I have decided to appoint the Taifu as the prime minister to coordinate the country. The ministers are in charge of the imperial order!"

"Xiangguo?"

"Phase?"

"How many years have I been a big man without a prime minister!"

"How can His Majesty be so capricious!"

"Absolutely not!"

When the ministers heard the words, they looked at each other, and they could see the disbelief on the faces of the colleagues on the left and right, and soon there were voices of objection.

Liu Xiu established Luoyang as his capital. Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the official system of the Western Han Dynasty has basically been used, but the biggest feature is that there is no prime minister, which greatly splits the power of the prime minister and strengthens the imperial power.

As far as the prime minister system is concerned, it actually existed in name only in the Western Han Dynasty.

There is a saying that said, after Xiao He and Cao Shen, the Han Dynasty had no phase.

Now the emperor actually wants to set an aspect.

It is still the position of Xiangguo.

Xiangguo means the same as Xiangguo, and the status inherited from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods has basically disappeared in Qin Dynasty. Even if the Qin Dynasty's prime ministers are left and right prime ministers, they are not in the position of Xiangguo.

"Xiangguo?"

When Mu Shan heard this, he was startled.

He raised his head slowly, with a flash of light in his eyes, and took a good look at the emperor. His own son is evil, and he dare not underestimate the young hero. This young emperor who is one year older than his own son is also in his heart. He didn't dare to underestimate a young man who thought that the city and the city were all superior, because the price of underestimating him was a penetrating sword wound on his left shoulder, which had not yet healed.

The emperor has always been on guard against himself, and he knows it.

Therefore, his execution of Yuan's family is enough to teach the young emperor a lesson, and it must be able to calm the emperor for a while.

But he didn't think that the emperor would be frightened and submit to him obediently.

There must be a plan for this.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After the next court, the emperor's intention was to give Hu Zhao and Jiang Lu a headache.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Wang Yun stood up, cupped his hands and shouted: "The position of Prime Minister cannot be established!"

"I have made up my mind!"

Since the turmoil that night, the Son of Heaven has rarely shown his strength. He shouted: "Where is Cai Shangshu!"

"exist!"

"Immediately prepare an imperial decree and announce it to the world!"

"His Majesty?"

"Don't you ministers think that my words are not enough for the imperial decree?"

"I dare not!" Cai Yong hurriedly bowed his head. He still respected the emperor, which originated from his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, so he obeyed: "I will draw up an order immediately!"

"Retreat!"

The emperor waved his hand, turned and left.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Several eunuchs shouted, and their sharp voices echoed in the court hall.

After peeping at each other, the courtiers walked out of the court hall dejectedly, whispering to each other in twos and threes, discussing in a low voice.

"How can your majesty do this?"

"Hey, now that the Mu Clan is so powerful, how do you know if it was threatened by Grand Tutor Mu!"

"Teacher Mu beheaded Yuan's family, and the power is poured into the government and the public. What's the difference between getting a face and not getting a face!"

"Thinking of my Han Dynasty, how could I fall into such a situation!"

The voices of the ministers were very low, but among the whispers, the surrounding officials could hear a lot of each other.

"Brother Zigan, let's go to the North Palace. We must meet His Majesty and let His Majesty take back his order. This imperial decree must never be disregarded!" Wang Yun came out in a hurry, walking quickly, and said to Lu Zhi beside him as he walked.

"Brother Zi, how do you know that this is not His Majesty's strategy?"

Lu Zhi suddenly whispered.

"Strategy?" Wang Yun stopped and stared at Lu Zhi: "What is the strategy?"

"Your Majesty wants to keep a low profile!" Lu Zhi said.

"Your Majesty has such a calm heart?"

"Senior Brother Zi, don't underestimate Your Majesty. Your Majesty's kindness and forbearance are no longer a teenager's heart. Mu Yuanzhong's blow to the head is enough for him to grow up!" Lu Zhi said meaningfully.

"Can……"

Wang Yun hesitated: "The position of Prime Minister is so important. If you get it, you can rule the world. If you set this precedent, does our Han family still have the authority of the emperor?"

"You and I think about eternal peace, and the emperor thinks about the present. The emperor thinks better than you and I. With the current situation, who cares about the future? The gain of the aspect will definitely make the Mu family prosperous for a while, but after the heyday, whether it will be extremely prosperous or not?" , or flourish and decline, it is unknown!"

Lu Zhi shook his head: "You and I don't care about this matter, let him go, we are still looking at some official positions, above the court, the three princes and nine ministers, one-third of them have fallen into the control of the pastoral party , I'm waiting to make a move, I'm afraid the court will become a word of his pastoral party!"

……

On August [-]th, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, announcing to the world that Taifu Mushan was promoted to be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, to govern the government of the world, and to order the officials of the world.

The Guangxi Dynasty began to enter the era of Mu Xiangguo.
