I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 233 I want to open a mansion and build teeth, I hope my father will agree (subscription required)
"This is what I think. Since Father Zhong allowed me to participate in political affairs, there should naturally be a set of regulations to avoid conflicts in government orders. If because of my participation in politics, the government orders of the Great Han Dynasty are not smooth and interfere with Father Zhong's governance of the government, then I would rather not participate in government affairs."

In the past few months in Chang'an, Liu He has perfected this ability of retreating into advance.

Just like at this moment, Liu He obviously wanted something from Huo Guang, but when he said it, Huo Guang felt that the emperor was pushing back because of fear.

The reason why this little trick works is because Huo Guang is an extremely conceited person. He may be cautious in his bones, but he is definitely unwilling to give others a reason to talk. If it is someone else, it will not be so easy to use.

Sure enough, after Huo Guang pondered for a while, he slowly said: "What's your majesty's idea, but it's okay to say, there is no problem that cannot be solved in the world, as long as the monarch and ministers work together, all problems can be solved easily."

What a monarch and his ministers are of one mind, this has reached Liu He's heart.

Since father Zhong is required to pretend to be generous, then I don't need to cover up, no matter how polite I am, I am not a "brother of flesh and blood".

"I want to be like Father Zhong, to open a house and build teeth."

"Huh? Opening a mansion and building teeth?" Huo Guang was full of doubts, completely unaware of what the emperor meant.

Kaifu Jianya, as the name suggests, is to establish a government office and set up a dental tent.It is a special privilege granted by the emperor of the Han Dynasty to the important ministers of the court.

In the Han Dynasty, besides the Sangong, the courtiers who were able to open a mansion and build teeth included the great general and other prominent generals.

In ordinary government offices such as Tingwei Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple, the chief executives only have absolute power to appoint and remove subordinate officials. As for the appointment and removal of other subordinate officials, they cannot arbitrarily "do what they say", and everything has to be reported to the court.

As for those government offices that established the government and established the teeth, almost all the officials can be regarded as the subordinates of the courtiers, so they can be appointed and removed freely without the approval of the court.

More importantly, these government offices often have great power, and they can form special restraints on other ordinary government offices, and to a certain extent, they can independently decide the government affairs that this government office should manage, without being interfered by others.

Take the champion Hou Huo Qubing who once served as a general as an example. After obtaining the tiger talisman issued by the emperor to deploy troops, he can recruit officials on his own, and control other government offices related to the conquest of the Xiongnu.

If you want food and grass, you can go to Da Si Nong; if you want prisoners, you can go to Tingwei;

Therefore, granting a courtier the power to open a mansion and establish teeth reflects the emperor's absolute trust in him.

On the other hand, it was the emperor's last choice to allow the courtiers to open a mansion and build teeth. Each relatively independent mansion was like a whirlpool, sucking the power of the emperor into it.

When the streets are full of powerful ministers who founded the government and established the teeth, then I am afraid that the country will soon be destroyed.

In fact, as the emperor, Liu He naturally has his own staff, that is, nearly a thousand Langguans, servants, ministers in the Shangshu Office, and various miscellaneous doctors in the court.

Just looking at the absolute number of people, it is absolutely enough.

But the more people there are, the more difficult it is to use—everyone is available, but in fact, everyone is not available.

What's more, the Shangshu Office was taken over by Huo Guang, the leader of the Shangshu, and it was a veritable dove occupying the magpie's nest.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the struggle between the imperial power and the power of the prime minister was non-stop, sometimes the imperial power was supreme, and sometimes the power of the prime minister was supreme.

The confrontation between the two did not end with the complete victory of the emperor until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Three provinces and six ministries, military aircraft divisions, secretly established reserves, and filed secret documents... It has to be said that the Qing Dynasty pushed the imperial power to the top.

In today's great Han Dynasty, the system of the three lords and nine ministers has reserved a lot of power for the courtiers. If Liu He wants to control the absolute power of the court, he has to follow some systems used by the Qing Dynasty.

But now is not that time yet, Liu He has to gradually control the leadership of the court before he can carry out drastic and comprehensive reforms.

Now, Liu He proposes to build a mansion for himself, which is actually a disguised form to let him win some independent power from the hands of the "invisible emperor" Huo Guang.

The emperor seized power from the powerful ministers, and the best imitation object is the powerful ministers-teaching the powerful ministers to learn skills to control the powerful ministers.

……

"Opening a mansion and building teeth is the emperor's right to courtiers to do things cheaply. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how to open a mansion and build teeth?" Huo Guang asked suspiciously.

After finishing his face, Liu He explained in a serious manner.

"It's true that I am the Son of Heaven, but Father Zhong is the auxiliary minister, and all major affairs in the court are up to you. This is something that cannot be changed."

"Now that I am participating in politics, it is inevitable that some courtiers will be confused and misunderstood, and there may be conflicts in government orders."

"If you let me open a mansion and build teeth, then I can recruit, appoint and remove subordinate officials, take care of the things that need to be managed, and do things cheaply. When encountering major and important things, Father Zhong will control them."

"In this way, I can participate in political affairs with peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about causing trouble to my father."

Liu He spoke out what was in his heart without stopping, and after he finished speaking, he took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his bosom, and wrote down all the things he said just now.

He pushed the bamboo slips in front of Huo Guang, and said flatteringly, "Father Zhong, this is what I thought just now. It has already been written. Father Zhong, please have a look."

Huo Guang was a little surprised, the emperor must have acted too vigorously, right?

He looked at the excitement on the emperor's face, and felt that this was not like a emperor who sat firmly in the court, listened from all sides, and ruled with his arch down, but more like an official who was obsessed with secular affairs.

It's just that I don't know whether the official of the Son of Heaven is a follower or a cruel official?
Huo Guang smiled and shook his head, took the bamboo slips and read them carefully...

The more he read, the more Huo Guang felt that the emperor's idea was quite novel, but thoughtful.

For some reason, Huo Guang didn't have any doubts or doubts about the emperor - neither Emperor Xiaowen nor Emperor Xiaowu was as whimsical as the emperor.

After reading it carefully, Huo Guang suddenly remembered another incident that was spread wildly when the Son of Heaven was in Changyi Kingdom. Huo Guang had never paid attention to this matter.

Huo Guang put down the bamboo slips in his hand, without saying yes or no.

He looked at the emperor with steady eyes, and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty used to call himself an official of the Changyi Kingdom when he was in Changyi Kingdom. Is there such a thing?"

Liu He was very surprised. The matter of becoming a member of the Changyi Kingdom was Liu He's way of interfering in the political affairs of the Changyi Kingdom.

"How did Father Zhong know about this?" Liu He asked in feigned astonishment.

"Hehe, Your Majesty just needs to tell the old man, isn't it?" Huo Guang asked forcefully, Liu He's heart felt a little weak when he saw those sword eyes.

"Yes, I did serve as an official of the Changyi Kingdom."

After Liu He finished speaking, his heart sank. Since Huo Guang chose himself to be the emperor, he didn't have much fear of the affairs of his subordinates, even if he feared it, he should have let go of it at this moment.

Then there is no need to hide it, it is better to admit it frankly.

"I know that the great Han has the ancestral system, and the princes and kings are not allowed to interfere in politics, but I am really bored, so I can only come up with this method. First, I want to pass the time, and second, I want to do something for the people of Changyi Kingdom."

Liu He spoke frankly, without avoiding his eyes, as if he had cut out his own innocent heart and placed it naked in front of Huo Guang.

Huo Guang leaned back slightly, as if everything was under his control.

There are so many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and Huo Guang knows exactly what everyone is doing.

Which princes and kings don't dream of being emperor in the south?Which princes and kings don't do some small tricks behind their backs?
Compared with the dead King Yan and the imprisoned King Guangling, King Changyi is really harmless.

What's more, the Changyi king in the past and the current emperor interfered in some "irrelevant" political affairs, which really didn't make a difference.

Manipulating power, buying people's hearts, building cronies... The emperor doesn't seem to care much.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven at this moment. How can I blame His Majesty?" Huo Guang continued with a smile, "What His Majesty has done is beneficial to me, and will not interfere with the general situation of the court. It is suitable for Your Majesty to accumulate experience in governance."

Liu He narrowed his eyes suddenly, put his hands on the case involuntarily, pretended to be excited and asked: "Then Zhongfu agreed to open the house and build teeth?"

Huo Guang stroked his beautiful beard, and nodded with a half-smile.

"Father Zhong, it's wonderful!" Liu He clapped his hands vigorously and stood up excitedly.

This excitement is half-truth and half-false, that is, it comes from the heart, and it can be used as a cover-up.

Kill two birds with one stone, of course wonderful.

There was also kindness in Huo Guang's eyes, as if he saw a child who got what he loved.

The Son of Heaven is also a human being, if you ask him to do something, his mood will be much better, at least he won't end up depressed like Emperor Xiaozhao.

Thinking of Emperor Xiaozhao, Huo Guang felt a dull pain in his heart again. If Emperor Xiaozhao was able to speak out what was in his heart like today, how could he be indifferent and completely isolate him from the court, and finally he could only secretly grieve in Weiyang Palace?

Compared with Emperor Xiaozhao, the Son of Heaven's character is so straightforward that Meng Lang might be better.

"Then what does His Majesty want to call his government office?"

"There are two back-to-back houses in the east of the Xuanshi Hall, one facing south and the other facing north. My government office should be built here."

Huo Guang had some vague impressions that these two houses had been vacant for a long time, and more than a hundred people could act in it for political affairs.

"I used to be a subordinate official in Changyi Kingdom. What I did today was also to solve some common affairs for Zhongfu. Or call it Menxia Temple."

Menxia Temple Menxia Temple, maybe one day it will become Menxia Province?

Although Huo Guang felt that the name was a bit weird, he finally nodded in agreement: "This name is not too straightforward, and it can be distinguished from other official positions. It is very good. Then it will be called Menxia Temple from now on."
