Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 541 Zhang Han’s Choice (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

After Shen Yu left the palace gate, he immediately went to the prime minister's house.

The prime minister's sudden declaration of illness clearly meant that he wanted to give up his position and prevent the establishment of the political hall.

He still went to Taixue first to issue an edict to show the emperor's eagerness for the construction of the political hall.Only then could Feng Quji feel the oppression of this matter.

There are so many talents in Taixue. When Shen Yu entered Taixue, everywhere he looked, there were disciples from various sects wearing various costumes.The number of people was far beyond Shen Yu's expectation.However, this also confirmed the authenticity of the news he received a few days ago. There was a mixture of dragons and snakes in Taixue, and it was indeed difficult to manage.

Seeing the famous man beside the emperor, these scholars all saluted Shen Yu.

Zhang Cang was worried. Just now, he learned the news that the prime minister was ill.Zhang Cang held the bamboo slips in his arms and frowned.It was unusual for Feng Quji to complain of illness at this time.Zhang Cang had a premonition that something big was going to happen in the DPRK soon.

"I have seen the Imperial Academy."

Shen Yu smiled, his face full of kindness.

Zhang Cang is still so handsome and dignified. As a person who has read many classics, his aura is naturally extraordinary.

"I wonder what brings you here?"

"The Prime Minister is ill. Your Majesty has ordered that the Imperial Academy be in charge of organizing the political affairs hall."

Shen Yu handed the edict to Zhang Cang, but Zhang Cang didn't dare to accept it.

"Tai Xue Ling."

Shen Yu gave a low reminder.

In the large and spacious room, six candlesticks were arranged on both sides. The floor was polished until it was shiny and cool, reflecting the orange candlelight. The floor seemed to be dotted with countless stars.

Zhang Cang was also accompanied by many headmasters, not to mention so many waiters.

In full view of everyone, Zhang Cang sniffed, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked dry. His face was pale and he accepted the order with trembling fingers.

When Zhang Cang accepted this edict, the eyes of all the masters in the Imperial College were brightened.

This edict issued by the emperor means that Zhang Cang will take over the position of prime minister.

In terms of age and qualifications, Zhang Cang is not qualified. How can he convince the ministers to obey him in the court?Zhang Cang naturally still has this self-knowledge.

"only."

When Shen Yu saw that Zhang Cang was reluctant to accept the offer, his heart naturally became numb.Zhang Cang didn't dare anymore. I was afraid that no one in the court would dare to do it.

"I still want to go to comfort the Prime Minister on behalf of the Emperor, so I will take the first step."

"Servant, please stay. Please take a step to speak."

"Alright."

Zhang Cang took Shen Yu to a side room, and only the two of them stayed inside.

"Minister, this scholar has been unable to sit still for a long time. But if you ask me to prepare the political hall on behalf of the prime minister, I am afraid that the court will..."

"Your Majesty's edict has been issued in front of everyone. Doesn't Taixue Ling want your Majesty to take back this edict?"

"Zhang Cang is so virtuous and capable that he can set up a political hall on behalf of the prime minister."

"Your Majesty has issued an edict, and I cannot disobey it. You have also been with His Majesty through storms, and His Majesty has always treated you very well. In view of this, I will say a few more words. What happened this time Although it is settled, the Prime Minister knows better than anyone that this time the Censor has lost power, Feng has offended the Emperor, and the Prime Minister's illness is definitely not unreasonable."

Zhang Cang hesitated for a while, and then said worriedly:
"I'm afraid that the officials in the court will not listen to me. The ministers of the late emperor are all famous people in the world. Even a mere doctor, they all have a lot of background."

Shen Yu smiled.

"What Taixue Ling said, if everyone in the court were respectful to His Majesty and listened to whatever His Majesty said, then we wouldn't have to reach this point today. Taixue Ling is extremely talented and comes from a famous family, so he must have I once heard a saying that people who have different paths do not seek each other.”

Zhang Cang just took a breath after hearing this.

"Does it have to come to this point? I'm worried..."

Zhang Cang was also worried that he would offend the public.

"The Imperial Academy has been established for so long, but the talents in the school have never been promoted. Doesn't it mean that the Imperial Academy has no pressure to be in charge of the world's heroes? There is a saying that I don't know whether to say..."

Zhang Cang bowed his hands and said:

"Please give me some advice, Sir."

"This can't be regarded as advice. Taixue Ling is one of the nine ministers and has a respected status. I am just a minister of the Secretariat, accompanying His Majesty. I don't dare to give advice to the minister."

"What's the matter with the servant, the reason why I am a minister is because of His Majesty's promotion. The servant is the one who works hard by His Majesty's side, and this is the highest achievement."

Zhang Cang's words touched Shen Yu's heart, and Shen Yu restrained his arrogance.

"In Taixue, there are many elites and hundreds of scholars gathered together. Your Majesty has always known that Taixue is very lively, and the noise has never stopped. Some people who have been students of Taixue for ten years are not allowed to use it. Your Majesty has always cared about it. But it’s just because you just took office, Zhang Cang, so His Majesty didn’t blame you.”

"Now that an excellent opportunity is in front of you, just do it with confidence and boldness. If you don't fill the imperial court with people from the Imperial Academy at this time, when are you planning to go there?"

Zhang Cang looked embarrassed by Shen Yu's words.

He is young, so naturally many old men look down on him.

Sometimes when a meeting is held, some old men just don't come and don't give him this face.

"Zhang Cang has been taught."

"I have to go to see the Prime Minister. Taixue Ling should go to see His Majesty as soon as possible. The official residence of Zhengshitang has not been built yet. Maybe there is no need to build it. By then, both Shangshutai and Zhengshitang will be located in Zhangtai. You I am a colleague, and we will meet more often."

Only then did Zhang Cang have a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Sir, for reminding me."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

……

Xianyang Palace.

Sima Xin strode into Xianyang Palace. When he arrived, he heard that the emperor had dismissed twelve dukes from their positions.

"How can there be such a deal in the world? Your Majesty took one Wang Wu and dismissed twelve dukes and two ministers from their posts. Your Majesty must be extremely proud of this time."

"General, please keep your voice down. Nei Shi's carriage is still ahead."

"Humph--"

Sima Xin's face was unshaven, and when he exhaled, the beard on both sides blew up.

"Zhang Han, a bear man, has received favors from His Majesty and will not sympathize with military meritorious deeds like us. However, he does not know how to support His Majesty's new policy and has always stayed out of it on the pretext of building an imperial mausoleum. As one of the nine ministers who was highly valued by the late emperor, One, the lord of the Shaofu, who is in charge of many of the late emperor’s cronies. This person has both sides of the head and a rat, and he is always watching the good show."

"But this time, I don't think he'll stay out of it."

Sima Xin cursed. He always felt that working for the emperor was not worth it, but he did not dare to rebel like Ren Xiao did.

"This bastard Tu Wei is a treacherous man. If he doesn't follow in the rebellion, we can all join forces and we can definitely bring the emperor back from the brink and screw his reforms!"

Sima Xin shouted loudly, fearing that Zhang Han in front wouldn't hear.

Zhang Han's face was also covered with thick stubble, but it was trimmed neatly by Zhang Han, making it hard and black.

As he listened to the clamor in the carriage, he naturally had a gloomy look on his face.

Naturally, Zhang Han's official was in the car.

"Young Master, General Sima, this is..."

"Ignore him. When things have reached this point, it still depends on who has a lofty plan. As your Majesty said, some people always live in the old times and are unwilling to accept new changes. The era of vassal states attacking each other has passed. There is no So many wars.”

"But he insulted you."

After Zhang Han heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth, stroked his beard meaningfully, and said with an arrogant look;
"Screen, scold, he is holding his breath in his heart. If he can't curse at this time, when he arrives in Xianyang, he will become like a palace lady, obediently and tenderly lying in front of His Majesty's knees. He will become like a cat. Same, be a man with your tail between your legs.”

The official was naturally happy after hearing this.But he quickly shook his head.

"Young Master, General Sima comes from a family with great military exploits. When he returns to Xianyang City, won't he join forces with other distinguished military families?"

"No, based on my understanding of the ministers in the court, all of them should be waiting to see His Majesty's next move. Sima Xin is a complete villain. He has returned to Xianyang City at this time, but he has made great achievements. As I expected, he will definitely stay behind closed doors when he returns to Xianyang City this time. Don’t think that he wants to avenge the injustice of the military family, in fact, he is afraid that the emperor will really take action against the military family. This villain. "

"So will the young master really go back and serve His Majesty this time, as General Sima said? This is something that goes against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."

Zhang Han frowned.

"When I go back this time, I'm afraid I can no longer use the construction of the imperial mausoleum as an excuse. Your Majesty has lost his imperial censor Wang Wu and needs a new leader. If I miss this opportunity, not only will I lose your Majesty's trust, but It will also lead His Majesty to have murderous intentions towards me."

When the subordinate officials heard this, they were naturally horrified.

"Your Majesty's patience with me has exceeded my expectations. It is obvious that Your Majesty really wants to be a benevolent king."

Zhang Han said, his heart filled with admiration for Fusu.

"I have witnessed with my own eyes how His Majesty got to where he is today step by step. Although Your Majesty is a completely different person from the late Emperor, Your Majesty has impressed many people with his skills and wisdom."

After hearing this, the subordinate officer still shook his head.

"But what the villain is worried about is that even if there are more Shaofu to support His Majesty, it will not change the situation of the powerful military family."

Zhang Han said solemnly:
"It's not that those senior officials in Xianyang City can't understand justice, it's just that in many cases, the current situation determines the will of the people. Military families are at the top of their game, and their power is unshakable. Even if those courtiers know that His Majesty is right, they won't do anything about it. I will openly support the emperor."

"It's different now. Those ministers and officials will take the initiative to stand up for Your Majesty one by one. I heard that Meng Tian took the initiative to speak for Wang Wu. This has been proved. Reform is the aspiration of the people and the general trend. The Meng family If you openly support the emperor, soon the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Bai family, these heroic families, will follow His Majesty like fish."

After hearing this, the subordinate officials kept nodding.

In Xianyang City, as long as you show off the Meng clan, almost no one will dare to go against you.
