The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 464: I am not Wang Mang, nor do I want to be Huo Guang!

"Go to court..."

Outside the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City, accompanied by Cao Zhengchun's loud and loud shouts, courtiers with various animals embroidered on their chests entered the Golden Palace after being inspected by the Han general.

This time the court meeting was exceptionally organized. Not only the civil and military officials who usually went to court, but also some qualified people who did not need to go to court on weekdays were all called to the Forbidden City.

Most of the civil and military ministers didn't know what was going on. They all talked quietly, but they just felt that something big was going to happen.

"Long live my emperor!"

The ministers bowed their heads, the mountains roared and the tsunami made a loud noise. The object of their salutes, the emperor Zhu Houzhao on the dragon throne, was uneasy. Since entering the Jinluan Hall, he had looked at Xu Xin, the sullen grand master, several times.

But this time, Xu Xin didn't respond to him like before, which made the little emperor even more flustered and didn't know how to end it.

Not only the little emperor was anxious, but also the Queen Mother, Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Wuwu and others. Things had developed completely out of control.

They felt more and more that the little emperor was acting too arrogantly. If he wanted to be in charge, he couldn't wait until he had an heir, or until he had cultivated party members, and then find a way to get power!

"My ministers, today's meeting is for two things."

"The first thing is that your Majesty is messing with the government!"

Xu Xin made a very shocking statement as soon as he opened his mouth. The emperor... is in chaos?

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was supreme. The emperor represented absolute power and could do whatever he wanted. There was no chaos in government.

Of course, this is talking about the emperors who have absolute real power, such as... Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. The final interpretation of the ancestral system lies in their hands.

Some of the remaining emperors still had to be constrained by a series of issues such as etiquette and law. For example, the emperor did not dare to do things like abolishing the queen or changing the prince.

The current situation is that the emperor has never been in charge, and Xu Xin, the grand master, is the regent. The grand master controls the actual absolute power and can have the right say on most things, but when it comes to the emperor... He said that the emperor messed up the government, is this a waste of time? The beginning of standing?

Some of the officials in the capital were very imaginative, and they were already thinking that Xu Xin was actually planning to use his power to abolish the establishment, calling a deer a horse. This was taking the opportunity to suppress the imperial power and prepare for usurping the throne in the future. Then they were loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty? Or will it be the first batch to take effect?

"Grand Master, I wonder what your Majesty...has done?"

Among the courtiers, someone boldly asked.

Xu Xin raised a stack of memorials in his hand and said that Zhu Houzhao's chaos in the government was really not a big deal. If he was an emperor who was in charge of the government, there would be no problem at all. But now that he has not taken charge of the government, it means that the process is wrong and the rules have been broken and the government is in chaos.

"Your Majesty, do you know your fault for disrupting the government?"

Xu Xin finished a series of things and then looked at the emperor on the dragon throne.

"I understand my mistake."

Under Xu Xin's gaze, Zhu Houzhao said the word "acknowledge his mistake" and admitted his mistake in front of the courtiers. This requires a lot of courage.

"Grand Master, I need you to issue an edict to punish yourself."

"Your Majesty, I hope you will never issue this edict."

Xu Xin shook his head, and then said: "Your Majesty wanted to take charge of the government, so he made a mistake, didn't he?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, his voice full of unwillingness.

"Did I do something wrong? Or maybe Your Majesty feels that I am getting old."

Xu Xin looked at Zhu Houzhao and said again.

"There is nothing wrong with Grand Master. You are also in your prime."

"This is all because of me. I want to be in charge. But is this a mistake?"

"It doesn't count!"

Xu Xin shook his head again, and then said again: "Then, Your Majesty has decided that he must personally govern."

"I must be in charge."

Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment, and finally stared at Xu Xin and said decisively.

"it is good!"

"Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, you can take charge." Xu Xin nodded, and the loud voice circulated in the Jinluan Palace. Everyone looked at him in disbelief. Even the Queen Mother Zhang behind the bead curtain couldn't help but stand up. To see him.

No one expected that he would suddenly say such a sentence, and in a sudden turn of events, he decisively agreed to the emperor's request for pro-government.

"Teacher Tai, Father Zhong, you..."

The emperor was a little incoherent, and his titles changed again and again.

"Your Majesty, conspiracies and intrigues cannot achieve great things, and we must not engage in random acts that disrupt the government again."

"You are the emperor. You must govern the government directly and directly. There is no need to disrupt the government..."

In the Jinluan Palace, Xu Xin's voice kept echoing. This was the last lesson he taught the little emperor. As an emperor, why should he rule personally and go through so many twists and turns? He just wanted to claim power directly and openly.

Xu Xin had taken power to suppress him before, just to ask the little emperor to fight back and speak in person. He could come and ask for it, come and snatch it, but he couldn't keep waiting for Xu Xin to give it to him. This would not be a good thing for the emperor or Xu Xin.

The emperor has been waiting for Xu Xin to give him power, and he acts entirely based on Xu Xin's face, which means he has no autonomy and a weak will. Such a person cannot grasp the power given to him.

Similarly, Xu Xin wants to retreat now, but he cannot retreat voluntarily. At least in front of the ministers and supporters, he has to appear passive and consider the overall situation.

"Father Zhong's teachings, Shou'er will keep them in mind."

In the Jinluan Hall, the emperor got down from the dragon throne and came to Xu Xin and bowed seriously.

"Eunuch Cao, prepare a decree..."

Zhu Houzhao quickly asked Eunuch Cao, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, to draft an edict. The edict had actually been prepared a long time ago and was specially used to seal Xu Xin. He had just been waiting for the opportunity before.

In less than a while, Cao Zhengchun went back and forth from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, took out the emperor's autographed imperial edict, and read it aloud: "The emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says... to the Grand Master Wang Shouren... to confer the title of Prince Wu'an..."

In the Fengtian Palace, Cao Zhengchun's voice echoed, and the ministers... reacted somewhat dullly.

The emperor gave Xu Xin a series of additional honors, among which only one was the most valuable. He promoted his Duke of Wu'an County to the title of King of Wu'an County, directly surpassing the Duke and becoming the only living king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty.

But, compared to everything Xu Xin brought to the Ming Dynasty and the contribution he made, he is qualified to be the king with a different surname, but it is not in line with etiquette and rules, but in the face of absolute power, what are the rules? Are etiquette an inconvenience?

"Retreat!"

Accompanied by Cao Zhengchun's sonorous voice, the civil and military officials who came in confusion left in confusion, but they all knew that the Ming Dynasty had changed.

"Your Majesty, you must be prepared. Once I retreat, I will have to bear all the burdens on myself."

"Shou'er understands."

The emperor received the training respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have already been crowned king, can you allow me to overstep my bounds?"

Xu Xin said that he was an expert when he called a lonely Taoist. He was called a lonely person just after being crowned king. He glanced at Zhu Houzhao and pointed to the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace.

"Father Zhong is the regent, so he is naturally qualified."

Zhu Houzhao came down quickly and asked Xu Xin to come up and sit down.

"This position is like walking on thin ice. Your Majesty, you must be careful in the future..."

In the Jinluan Hall, Xu Xin once again sat on the dragon chair to correct the memorials. As a teacher, he finally taught Zhu Houzhao some things and corrected all the memorials.

When he finished everything for today and left the palace, he left such a sentence.

"I'm not Wang Mang, and I don't want to be Huo Guang!"

That very night, many people knew the meaning of Xu Xin's words.
