I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 225 The old prime minister retired and the new prime minister was selected (for subscription)

In the study that day, his promise to Yang Chang came to mind.

But after a while, Huo Guang said decisively: "Reward gold, silver and cloth, and just give some comfort."

"Then I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold and a thousand horses of silk, and Father Zhong will go to reward you instead of me. It is also my kindness."

"promise."

"Then Father Zhong thinks who should take over the post of Prime Minister?"

The position of prime minister is too important for Liu He to get his hands on.

There is probably only one person in his hands who can take on this great task, Zhao Chongguo.

But Zhao Chongguo is still better placed in the army and can play a greater role.

First ask Huo Guang what he thinks, and see if he can gain something.

"It stands to reason that Cai Yi, the imperial historian, should take over." Although Huo Guang said so verbally, he seemed not very willing.

The Sangong Jiuqing of the Han Empire, when they were promoted, there was a customary order.

Prime Minister, Doctor Yu Shi, Da Sima, Tai Chang, and then to the other Jiuqing and Lieqing.

In particular, the official positions of the prime minister and doctor censor are almost guaranteed to be replaced one by one, and there are very few situations where they are skipped or overstepped.

Even though the real power of the current prime minister and doctor censor has been weakened a lot, it is still the ultimate goal of many officials in the court.

Because Huo Guang died in the position of Da Sima, the current position of prime minister should be replaced by Cai Yi, the doctor of censor; and the position of doctor of censor should be replaced by Tai Chang Ren Gong;

There are no special circumstances, this is Chengzhi.

Liu He remembered it, no wonder that during these court meetings, that Cai Yi, who was not much younger than Yang Chang and usually taciturn, walked vigorously, and was eager to try in the court many times.

I'm afraid he already thought that the position of prime minister was in his pocket.

Liu He pretended not to care and said: "Since this is the regulation of the court, then let Cai Gong take over the position of prime minister. I have no extra opinions."

"However, Mr. Cai is not young anymore, and his health seems to be not good. There are many things in the court and the government affairs are busy. I am afraid that Mr. Cai will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Yang."

If Huo Guang didn't say the last four words "busy government affairs", then Liu He would have believed his rhetoric. After all, Liu He has met Cai Yi, and it can be seen that he is already at the end of his life.

But when Huo Guang said that he was busy with government affairs, he seemed to be covering up.

Huo Guang is the real prime minister, and Yang Chang has always been Huo Guang's number one answerer in court.

This is why Liu He hates Yang Chang.

Huo Guang didn't want Cai Yi to take over as prime minister. It seemed that it wasn't that Cai Yi didn't listen to Huo Guang's orders. The more important reason was that Cai Yi's granddaughter was also Jieyu who was about to enter the palace with Huo Chengjun.

If Cai Yi, the imperial censor, was promoted to the position of prime minister, he would have the capital to fight against Huo Guang.

It is very unlikely that Cai Yi will stand against Huo Guang in the court hall, but Huo Guang does not allow such a person to appear in the court hall.

Now that he has said it, I am afraid that Huo Guang has other candidates.

"Then who does Father Zhong think should take over?"

"It is more suitable to be too permanent. He is young and vigorous, and has experience in administration. He is the most suitable."

Because of little contact, Liu He is not very familiar with this Taichang Rengong, that is, he has seen it several times before worshiping Gaomiao.

But let's not talk about other things, at least he should be a hardcore Huo party, otherwise Huo Guang would not let him be the prime minister.

In the history books of later generations, there are very few records about this Ren Gong. The only thing that impressed Liu He was that when Shangguan Jie rebelled, it was Ren Gong who led people to capture him personally.

Huo Guang chose him to be the prime minister, probably because he wanted a more obedient head of officials.

"Dasi Nongtian Yannian is quite capable in his work and has rich experience in government. Has Father Zhong ever thought about letting him take over as prime minister?" Liu He said intentionally.

"This Tian Yannian is capable enough, but he is not as good as Ren Gong in terms of qualifications."

Tian Yannian, don't blame me, I have already spoken for you, if you want to blame you, blame Zhongfu.

"If so, who will replace Taichang?"

"This is what this old man thinks. Tian Yannian will take over the position of Taichang, and then Shaofu will take over the position of Da Siong. As for the post of Shaofu, we will appoint someone else to take over."

There is no doubt that these other people are also members of the Huo Party.

"I think that Tian Yannian is quite competent in the position of Da Sinonong. It is better to let him continue to serve. On the contrary, the affairs in the palace under the management of the Shaofu are quite trivial, but as long as you are careful and careful, you can naturally manage them."

"So on the contrary, Le Cheng can be promoted to the post of Taichang. After all, when he welcomed me, he handled all affairs properly and should be competent."

The reason why Liu He dared to speak was entirely because these people belonged to the Huo Party, no matter how they were arranged, they were all the same to Liu He.

And he has already planted a nail, and it depends on whether Tian Yannian will go to Huo Guang to make a fuss.

"This is also my one-sided opinion. Father Zhong must be more familiar with them, and it is still up to Father Zhong to decide."

"Your Majesty's reminder is extremely important, so Shaofu Lecheng will take up the post of Taichang."

"Don't Mr. Cai and Mr. Tian have any objections?"

"The old man will discuss it clearly with them first, and will definitely arrange this matter properly."

"Then there will be Father Lao Zhong."

As Liu He said, he was thinking about another thing. According to Huo Guang's arrangement, the position of Shaofu will be vacant now. Is it possible to arrange someone in his hands to be there?
Liu He kept thinking, after all, it would be risky to do so.

However, the temptation to "hold the money bag" completely in one's own hands is too great.

As long as a suitable candidate is proposed, it may be successful.

After thinking for a while, Liu He thought of a suitable person in his mind.

"Father Zhong, who should take up the post of Young Manor?"

"Does Your Majesty have any suitable candidates?"

Huo Guangcheng answered this sentence subconsciously, which made Liu He secretly happy.

"I don't have much contact with the courtiers, and the total number of courtiers I know is 20," Liu He said modestly, "But if I want to say that I can be the candidate for the Shaofu, I really have one person in mind."

"May I ask Your Majesty, who is this person?"

"Some time ago, the imperial examination doctor Bingji, who presided over the imperial examination, did everything in detail, and he was also low-key and restrained."

Huo Guang was a little surprised that the emperor could recommend this person. Apart from having a "welcome meritorious service", this person seemed to have no connection with the emperor.

More importantly, Bingji served himself as the head of the general's mansion, and he was very dedicated to his duties and respectful to himself.

Although he is not very flattering to himself, he has never disobeyed himself, and he has never done anything wrong.

Appointing Bingji as the Shaofu may further win him over to his side.

"Your Majesty has discerning eyes. Bingji has served as a long history for this old man in the past, and he is very capable in doing things. He must be able to take on this great task."

"Is that true? I didn't know that Bingji had such a relationship with Father Zhong. It seems that the General's Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

How could Liu He not know the joints?

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to recommend Bingji.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise. People who don't understand the truth may say that the old man is nepotism again." Huo Guang said with a smile.

"Who dares to say that, I will immediately put him in prison!"

"Hey, Your Majesty must not act like this. Prison can't calm down everything. Don't forget Xia Housheng's lesson."

Although Huo Guang was criticizing the emperor, it was more of a joke.

"I listen to Father Zhong's advice, but whoever dares to say that, if I find out, I will definitely reprimand them..."

The glimmer of cloud lingering in Huo Guang's heart was completely dissipated, looking at the emperor who was complaining for himself, he admired Huo Xian's vision even more.

It seems that his wife is more accurate in seeing the emperor.

Letting the emperor hold a little power seems to be a better choice.

……

After chatting about some trivial matters, Huo Guang left Weiyang Palace with the few boxes of moon cakes that the emperor rewarded.

Leaving in such a hurry was not because Huo Chengjun wanted to taste the mooncakes as soon as the emperor said, but because he still had two important things to do today.

The first thing is to meet the former prime minister Yang Chang on behalf of the emperor, and reward him so that he can "retire with peace of mind".

The second thing is to go back to the general's mansion to meet some courtiers, these courtiers are the core of the Huo family - the new king ascends the throne, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate, and some people have to beat them hard.
