I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 439 The New Deal Begins: Unbridled!This big man, am I in charge, or is your Shangshu Administration in charge?
For some reason, Zhang Anshi felt that the memorial in his arms was a bit hot to the touch.

During the moment when Zhang Anshi hesitated, the emperor directly called his name.

"Zhang Qing, you are the great general of the current dynasty, do you have a memorial to submit?"

As a last resort, Zhang Anshi stood up and said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty that there are many vacancies for the nine ministers and ministers in the court, and it is necessary to select officials to fill them as soon as possible."

"Well, has the Shangshu Office discussed a suitable candidate?" Liu He asked.

Zhang Anshi was relieved when he heard the emperor's words. He took out the prepared list from his arms and presented it to the emperor.

Liu He took the list from Fan Ke, opened it, glanced at it briefly, closed it casually, and put it on the case.

Zhang Anshi secretly sighed that something was wrong, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart lifted higher.

"I have read this list, but I don't agree." Liu He said indifferently.

The stone in Zhang Anshi's heart finally fell and hit his heart, making him dizzy!
Also feeling dizzy and stunned as Zhang Anshi were the courtiers in the palace.

Isn't this big court meeting just a formality?Why the sudden twists and turns?

It was almost unheard of in the Han Dynasty for the emperor to reject the memorial issued by the Shangshu Office regarding the affairs of the Shangshu at the imperial court meeting.

It can even be said that it has never happened before.

The reason is very simple. The Shangshu Office is the government office that the emperor trusts most, and the Chinese and Korean officials in the Shangshu Office are the courtiers that the emperor trusts most.

Officials in the Chinese court are almost equivalent to the emperor's "ministers", which are completely different from officials in the outer court.

The memorial from the Shangshu Office represents the will of the emperor. How could the emperor oppose himself?
Not to mention that he mercilessly rejected the Shangshu Office's memorial in front of hundreds of officials and ministers from all over the dynasty.

This is tantamount to slapping An Shi, Bingji and others in the face.

The emperor dismissed the memorial from the Shangshu Office. There is only one possibility - the emperor does not trust the current Shangshu Office so much, and he does not trust the Chinese and Korean officials in the Shangshu Office that much.

But people like Zhang Anshi, Bingji and Wei Xian risked their lives to help the emperor overthrow the Huo family. They are undoubted heroes.

Just now, they either sealed the title of marquis or increased the number of towns.

There was absolutely no sign that the emperor had any fear or suspicion towards them.

As a result, many courtiers thought of the emperor who had disappeared. Could it be that the emperor's madness had not been cured?

Is it because Huo Guang fell and no one was deliberately restricting the emperor anymore, so the emperor became ill again and began to act wildly?

Although the ministers were shocked, confused, puzzled and surprised, they learned the lesson just now. No one dared to look up at the emperor on the jade steps, but turned their attention to Zhang Anshi and others.

The "initiators" such as Zhang Anshi, Bingji and Wei Xian felt like they had a thorn in their backs, and they didn't know why the emperor said this.

Especially Zhang Anshi, who was standing alone in the palace, fell into an unprecedented dilemma and embarrassment, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Three days ago, they presented this list to the emperor at the small court meeting. At that time, the emperor did not express any objection?
Although several minor changes were made to this list later, there were no major differences. How could the emperor be so dissatisfied?

After standing there for a long time, Zhang Anshi, who was sweating, managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Majesty, this list has been discussed by the Shangshu Office."

"Huh? The Shangshu Office has discussed it, do I have to agree? Then, should I be in charge of the big man's family, or should you, the Shangshu Office, be in charge?"

Liu He's calm voice brought a late-spring chill, which swept through the front hall in the blink of an eye, and the place was immediately frozen into a hard cellar.

Zhang Anshi's original intention was "The Shangshu Office has discussed this list according to His Majesty's wishes", but he made a mistake while busy and actually said "The Shangshu Office has discussed it and the emperor does not need to comment."

This is not only a disgrace in front of the palace, but also an act of arrogance and treason.

Huo Guang's ghost has not completely dissipated. Everyone knows that "powerful ministers" and "domineering" are the untouchable enemies of the emperor.

Suddenly, the courtiers finally understood that the emperor really did not trust the Shangshu Office and the Chinese and Korean officials in the Shangshu Office!

My great achievements shocked the Lord, the ancients sincerely did not deceive me!
Zhang Anshi, whose face turned pale, quickly knelt down with a pop and bowed to the chief: "Your Majesty, a humble minister has made a mistake and is treasonous. Please forgive me!"

Bingji and Wei Xian also immediately got up and came to the palace. They followed Zhang Anshi and bowed before the emperor. They apologized and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of a minor crime. Please forgive me!"

Liu He held his hands behind his back and remained silent. Instead, he allowed the three ministers to kneel before His Highness and asked them and the other courtiers to think about why he had an attack.

In the past few months or even years, Liu He has always been very considerate to his courtiers, and he has been meticulous about government affairs.

That's not because Liu He is naturally diligent, it's just because there are too few things in his hands, so he naturally has to "cook well."

But now, Huo Guang has fallen, and as the emperor, Liu He has more than a hundred times more affairs to intervene in.

According to the past system, the Shangshu Office would "handle" most of the government affairs for Liu He, and Liu He indeed needed the Chinese and Korean officials from the Shangshu Office to assist him.

However, Emperor Xiaowu's original intention of setting up the Shangshu Office was to divide the power of the prime minister and strengthen the monarch's power, rather than to make the chief minister and the leading minister become the new prime ministers.But after Emperor Xiaowu became popular, Huo Guang continued to use power to feed the Shangshu Office, so that the Shangshu Office became a behemoth.

Therefore, latecomers such as Zhang Anshi and Bingji have forgotten that the Shangshu Department is the "Emperor's Assistant".

The prime minister of the outer dynasty was in name only, but he was replaced by the minister, which was just a change of the soup without changing the medicine.

Without the Shangshu Office, the monarch's power was restricted by the power of the prime minister; with the Shangshu Office, the monarch's power was also restricted. Didn't Emperor Xiaowu set up the Shangshu Office in vain?
Since the Shangshu Office has gone out of shape, there is no need for Liu He to keep it anymore.

Since the ministers and secretaries have forgotten their duties, it is necessary for Liu He to remind them not to forget their duties.

If Liu He wants to implement reforms and implement new policies, the most important thing is to have a reliable central organization. Otherwise, not to mention that the government decrees cannot leave Chang'an City, they may not even be able to leave the front palace.

At today's court meeting, he will take the first step of this new policy!
So far, Zhang Anshi and the others are reliable and trustworthy, and they were loyal ministers in the original timeline.

But Liu He was not an ordinary emperor. He just wanted to be a cautious and loyal minister who followed the rules, which was not enough.

Only by following Liu He's ideas can you stay in court for a long time.

Otherwise get lost or die!

After the front hall was silent for a long time, Liu He finally spoke again and asked: "Three beloveds, what are you guilty of?"

"The appointment, dismissal and promotion of court officials are important matters of the country. Minor ministers should first obtain His Majesty's approval, and then report them at the court meeting to let all the princes in the court know."

"Now that I have not received your majesty's clear edict, I have reported this matter to the court without authorization. I am not only assuming the holy will, but also being suspected of overstepping my authority."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished!"

Liu He chewed these words of Zhang Anshi carefully. He was worthy of being a famous minister, and his mind was moving very quickly.

Not only did they immediately figure out why the emperor beat them, but he also apologized politely, leaving room for both the emperor and his ministers.

Presuming the holy will is a small mistake, so a definite word "over" is used; arrogating authority is a serious crime, so a vague word "dislike" is used.

By catching the little ones and magnifying them, not only did they admit their sins, but they also left room for the emperor to forgive themselves.

This cautious Zhang Anshi is really a smart man.For smart people, Liu He is always willing to be open-minded and kind to them.

"Three dear friends, please get up first. Since it was an unintentional mistake, I forgive you for your guilt."

Zhang Anshi and the others lay on the ground, looked up at each other slightly, and saw panic in each other's eyes, but they finally stood up with lingering fear.

Although the temples of these people were already covered with sweat, they did not dare to raise their hands to wipe them. They looked very embarrassed.

"It is the responsibility of the Shangshu Office to propose a list of ministers for appointment and dismissal. Therefore, the fault lies not with the three beloved ministers, but with the Shangshu Office itself."

"So before deciding on the candidates to promote the court officials, I would like to talk about the third thing to be discussed today - the reform of the government offices in China and North Korea."

It turns out that the third thing the emperor just said was this! ?

Together with Zhang Anshi and others, the courtiers in the palace once again thought of this year's title - Dingxin.

The knife hanging above my head finally fell, and the New Deal finally came!

Everyone's luck was gone, especially the Chinese and North Korean officials who had participated in the small court meeting, and they suddenly woke up.

At the small court meeting three days ago, the emperor kept silent about the reform and new policies. It was not that he had forgotten, but that he was secretly keeping Chen Cang in mind.

With the force of thunder, strike from Zhongchao and from Shangshu Office!

Since what is being cut is the Shangshu Office and China and North Korea, how can we discuss it with Zhang Anshi and other ministers?
The emperor is very thoughtful, and he didn't show any signs before.

If the emperor raised this matter at the small court meeting, then in the private greenhouse palace, Zhang Anshi and the others could argue with each other anyway.

However, now in full view of the imperial court, how could Zhang Anshi and others, who had just pleaded guilty, say no?
If they oppose the emperor's edict to reform the Shangshu Office, wouldn't that be a further confirmation that they want to use the Shangshu Office to usurp power?
Zhang Anshi and others did not have such an idea, nor did they dare to have such an idea.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's "sudden attack" at this moment, they did not dare to show it at all.

Rather than being held down by the emperor and bowing down, it would be more satisfying to bow down oneself.

"Your Majesty the Holy Ming, we are waiting for the holy instructions!" Zhang Anshi said quickly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are waiting for the holy instructions!" the courtiers also said in unison.

Liu He nodded with satisfaction. The New Deal will start from now on, but I don't know if the Yanyan gentlemen in the hall will be so happy later!
