Chapter 402 "Follow the plan"

"Just looking at the current situation, I'm afraid the eldest princess has not fully trusted Xiang Langjun." Gu Yao looked at the note, and Li Shengxi mentioned the Minister of the Household Department to Xiang Huai for no reason. The tentative implications cannot be ignored.

The little emperor nodded, "This should be my aunt's temptation to us and Xianghuai."

Aunt wouldn't mention this for no reason, and Xiang Huai was probably suspicious, so she sent a message to remind her.

"She wants to attack the household department?" Gu Yao speculated with some doubts.

"The meaning revealed by these words is indeed like fighting against the household department and winning the household department over." The little emperor murmured softly.

"Since this is the case, the Holy Majesty still needs to keep a close eye on the household department, lest the household department is really taken away by the Eldest Princess." Gu Yao reminded.

But the little emperor shook his head, "Since my aunt intends to test, once we stop it, it will arouse suspicion, and the previous actions will be in vain. Hubu Shangshu is an old minister who was trusted by the late emperor. A person like aunt, for The people left behind by the late emperor are especially cherished and respected, and he will not easily touch the old man in the hands of the late emperor.

For the people left behind by the late emperor, it doesn't matter whether they belong to her or not, and it doesn't matter whether they stand by her side, as long as they don't hinder her and it is beneficial to Bei Qi, my aunt will not touch them.Aunt, if she doesn't get involved in political affairs, maybe she can be a knight! "

Emperor Mingzhang laughed lightly and mocked, if the aunt honestly delegated power and went to the rivers and lakes to enjoy herself freely, their aunt and nephew would not be able to make it to this point.

In his childhood, the first emperor despised stupidity, even if his elder brother was disabled, he would not choose him as the heir apparent;

A Niang also blamed him, and didn't pay much attention to him until her brother had an accident.

The only ones who are good to him are his aunt and brothers and sisters.

But his aunt abandoned him for the sake of power, brother and aunt are natural allies, and as for elder sister, he also vaguely feels that elder sister will not stand by his side.

All turned their backs on him.

In fact, he didn't understand why the previous aunt, who was more willing to be a knight-errant in the rivers and lakes, changed after traveling in the rivers and lakes for a few years.

The little emperor couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, and continued to say: "Shangshu Hubu is very good at protecting himself. He knows my aunt's temperament, so he doesn't stand in line, just do the practical things at hand. From now on, no matter what I do Whoever wins with my aunt will not liquidate him.

So my aunt should not touch the Minister of the Household Department, and if we suddenly win over the Minister of the Household Department at this time, it is hard to say whether to win over or not, and the person who took the trouble to send it in may become an abandoned child because of this. At this step, we cannot Go easy. "

In fact, Gu Yao was very skeptical that the group of people who were sent in would have become abandoned children long ago, but he didn't say anything.

"In any case, the household department is very important. If the eldest princess sees that we are unmoved, will she take advantage of the trend to win over the household department Shangshu?" Gu Yao reminded.

At this time, Emperor Mingzhang's reason for Li Shengxi's not taking action against the household department turned out to be his trust in Li Shengxi's character.

Li Shengxi's character is one thing, but if there is something between Hubu Shangshu and Li Shengxi that the little emperor doesn't know, then Emperor Mingzhang's guess will be completely invalid.

This Hubu Shangshu is far from being as simple as others think.

Gu Yao's gaze sank slightly, Li Shengxi might have realized something.

But Gu Yao didn't say this, but changed the term and reminded him tactfully.

"If it's useful to win over, aunt has already won over, so why send Meng Wan to the household department again?" The little emperor said indifferently.

Didn't Li Shengxi send Meng Wan in because he couldn't win over the Minister of the Household Department so that he could further grasp the power of the Household Department?
Gu Yao: "."

Sending Meng Wan into the Household Department is for the purpose of decentralizing power, which means that Li Shengxi is very dissatisfied with the fact that the power of the Household Department does not belong to her. Since she intends to support Meng Wan, who knows whether Li Shengxi will want Meng Wan to grow up? Hubu Shangshu to make way for Meng Wan?

From this point of view, even if there is nothing between Hubu Shangshu and Li Shengxi, Li Shengxi's character cannot be trusted anymore.

She may be a gentleman, and she may have a deep affection for the brothers and sisters of the first emperor.But once a person becomes a politician, he will never be a gentleman who looks up from the mountains, at most he can only keep his heart.As for the deep love between brothers and sisters, since the late Emperor is dead, who else can hold back the relationship?
The little emperor was the only healthy son of the first emperor, didn't Li Shengxi still plan to let him go?
But he didn't say that, he was no longer surprised by the little emperor's self-assertion.

"Even so, the Holy Majesty can't see Hubu being gradually encroached by the influence of the eldest princess. No matter what Hubu Shangshu says, he will eventually grow old. When Hubu Shangshu retires, the eldest princess will definitely support Meng Wan. go up."

Now, most of the six ministries in the three provinces of the DPRK and the Central Government have been brought into the hands of Li Shengxi. Seeing that Li Shengxi is in power, it will only harm the interests of the little emperor in the end.

"According to what you see?"

"Kaienke. We will open the spring chamber again at the beginning of spring next year, introduce fresh talents into the court, and promote talents in an unconventional manner, breaking the current situation."

The little emperor had already opened Enke once when he first came to the throne, and the next time he opened it, it should be in the fourth year of Mingzhang, and next year will only be in the third year of Mingzhang.

"The imperial court's selection of scholars is justified. At that time, the Holy Majesty only needs to find a reason. Even if the eldest princess wants to stop it, she will be powerless." Gu Yao added.

Li Heng nodded, "In this way, it's good."

Although Enke was opened in the first year of Mingzhang, the power in his hands was not as good as it is now, and he couldn't make any articles on Enke, it was just a routine opening.

But now things are a little different. Li Shengxi relied on the help of the late emperor to accumulate her political power, as well as her own campaigns in the Southern and Northern Wars, as well as exceptional promotion of talents, compensation for victims of disasters, and compassion for the common people.

His situation is slightly different from Li Shengxi's, but his current situation is somewhat like that of the late emperor.After the first emperor came to the throne, he first subdued the inner guards, and then swallowed wolves and drove tigers, destroying the four kings.And under this circumstance, he used the prestige he had accumulated among the people and scholars in the past, as well as the help of a group of important clan officials, to temporarily contain the aristocratic family, and obtained the opportunity to share the political inheritance of the four kings with the aristocratic family.

After that, he had stalemate with the aristocratic family for many years. At that time, he continued to hire talents beyond the rules.It wasn't until the 12th year of Hongxing that Li Sheng was married, and the brothers and sisters joined forces to produce the Mu family and force the Gu family to retreat.

It can be seen that it is essential to promote talents exceptionally.

And the situation for him now is even more difficult than when Aye ascended the throne.

Although Aye was surrounded by a pack of wolves when he came to the throne, as long as he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, it would be difficult for him to concentrate.

But now he only has one political enemy, and this political enemy has the power of a pack of wolves, which cannot be underestimated.
