The next day, two major events happened in the court. One was that the emperor and the regent approved it, and King Shu Li Xun was equipped with 300 cavalry guards, which was equivalent to the treatment of the prince.

Second, King Shu Li Xiu officially represented the Regent at the daily political affairs hall.

Although he had represented the Regent at the Political Affairs Hall before, he was a temporary representative that time, and this time it was a permanent representative, with a completely different meaning.

The regent's intention was too obvious, and even a three-year-old child could see that he had the idea of ​​changing his prince.

The emperor had the idea of ​​changing the prince twice before, which caused a lot of controversy in the court, but it soon stopped again. After all, the emperor had no substantial actions and no clear candidate for a new prince, so he was just a talk.

But the Regent this time is different, and the candidate is clear, King Shu Li Xun.

More importantly, it is no longer an idea, but is starting to implement it. Li Xun has the security treatment of the prince and is also exercising the real power of the prince.

So once two major events spread, they immediately caused huge waves in the court.

Of course, the nature of the regent is the same as the regent's prince. It is a major matter involving the foundation of the country. Of course, it is not the emperor or the regent who can decide. The court ministers also have the power to express their opinions.

In the Secretariat of the Political Affairs Hall, when Li Xun was not around, the four prime ministers held a simple meeting.

The meeting was proposed by Han Xiu, and the four prime ministers discussed the issue of missing ministers in the Political Affairs Hall and the influence of the regent's change of the prince.

Since the voting system of the Political Affairs Hall implements a voting system, in the absence of a difference, some major issues can easily form a two-to-two pattern. In this case, if the emperor forcibly promotes the issuance of imperial edicts, it is easy to lead to confrontation and division in the court and instability to the country.

No one wants such consequences, so solving this problem has become an urgent task.

"Everyone, the new prime minister candidates launched by the Emperor and the Regent have not been released for a long time, which has seriously affected the operation of the Zhengshi Hall. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the Zhengshi Hall without violating the principles, we will discuss and find a plan that everyone can accept."

The person who spoke was Zhang Jiuling, who was the right prime minister and was directly responsible for the smooth operation of the Zhengshi Hall.

Li Linfu snorted, "The Prime Minister's recommendation is in the hands of the emperor and the regent. They don't give in. What can we do?"

"You can't say that. The emperor and the regent are just not concessions in incremental terms. We cannot interfere. Then we can think of ways from the stock, or make changes in the system."

Li Shizhi smiled and said, "How to find a way to find a way to stock and how to make changes in the system, Zhang Xiangguo might as well talk about it in detail."

Everyone knew that Zhang Jiuling must have thought about it carefully, and they were all excited and prepared to listen to his detailed description.

Zhang Jiuling said calmly: "Our Zhengshi Hall is actually composed of a Zhongshu Ling, a subordinate minister, and a minister of the Shangshu and the left and right Pushe. Of course, we also hold other positions. I won't mention this. According to the system, the Zhongshu Provincial Commission for the purpose of the branch and the branch for the review. It is just to avoid trouble, so there is a consultation and voting system. It is better to do this. The subordinate minister continues to retain the right to reject the order, and the Zhongshu Ling and the left and right Pushe Provincial for the branch for the purpose of the order..."

"inappropriate!"

Li Linfu immediately opposed it. He was the subordinate of the servant. He had no right to vote and had only the final right to reject it. In fact, he would exercise the right to reject it after the emperor approved it. It would be possible once or twice, and it would be rejected every time. Wouldn't this allow him to confront the emperor?

He won't do such a thing.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuling's move was very vicious and directly deprived Li Linfu of his voting rights. The emperor faction took control of the Political Affairs Hall and handed over the refusal to the Regent, allowing the Regent to control the branch province. It seemed fairer.

But the problem is that not every imperial edict needs to be rejected by the Ministry of Education. Only important government affairs will be submitted to the emperor for approval, and the Ministry of Education can exercise the right of rejection.

A large amount of daily government affairs are directly approved by the Prime Minister and are not passed through the Ministry of Education, which means that the Regent's right to be deprived of.

The prime ministers here are all talented people, and they immediately understood Zhang Jiuling's intention and redistributed power within the existing framework. The original four phases became three plus one, and the efficiency was indeed improved, but the Regent was completely eliminated.

Li Linfu shook his head and said, "The implementation of the rejection of the Menxia Province is only meaningful when the emperor holds the highest power. If the Menxia Province rejection system is now implemented, what should the Regent do? Should Menxia Province reject the regent's imperial edict or the emperor's will? If both the Regent and the Emperor approve, how can the Menxia Province be rejected? Obviously it is unrealistic!"

Han Xiu also said: "The system changes in the Zhengshi Hall require the approval of the emperor and the regent before they can be implemented. Does Zhang Xiangguo think this plan will be approved by the regent? If you have to give it a try, I have no objection!"

Li Shizhi smiled and said, "Zhang Xiangguo seems to be talking about two plans. I wonder what another plan is?"

Zhang Jiuling said: "There is another plan to expand the discussions of the Political Affairs Hall. In addition to our four prime ministers, quasi-priests who have the qualifications of the Secretariat to Pingzhangshi can also join the discussions."

This plan is a bit interesting. In fact, it is to expand the prime minister. The emperor and the regent are in a stalemate in order to compete for the fifth prime minister. Zhang Jiuling's plan is to expand the voting rights of the Political Affairs Hall.

At present, in addition to the four prime ministers, there are five other important officials with the qualifications of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, including Chen Xilie, Minister of Personnel, Pei Kuan, Minister of Works, Xiao Jing, Minister of Revenue, Pei Yaoqing, Minister of Justice, and Yang Shenjin, Minister of the Yellow Sect.

Chen Xilie is a famous good man here. The emperor and the regent are not offended. Xiao Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Yang Shenjin, the minister of the Huangmen, are the regents, and Pei Yaoqing and Pei Kuan are the emperors.

But since Princess Xianyi married into the Yang family in Luoyang, the Huangmen Minister Yang Shenjin's attitude changed subtly and began to turn to the emperor.

So if Zhang Jiuling's plan is implemented, the emperor will eventually control the Political Affairs Hall.

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and Li Linfu said, "Let's do this! Report the second plan to see if the emperor and the regent can accept it. What do you think?"

Since Li Linfu made his statement, it was actually three to one, and Han Xiu’s objection was useless.

This is also Zhang Jiuling's cleverness. He put forward the first plan and knew that Li Linfu would definitely object, so Li Linfu would make concessions in the second plan.

The first proposal was passed, and Han Xiu said again: "Let me talk about the regent's change of prince!"

Zhang Jiuling frowned and asked, "Secretary Han, are you sure that the Regent asked King Shu to represent him at the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters. Is it the meaning of changing the prince?"

Han Xiu said: "The Regent told me before that he thought the prince was indecisive, lacked ability, could not inherit his career, nor could he assume the heavy responsibility of the Regent. He had the idea of ​​changing the prince."

Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment and said, "I will express my opinion first! You can add that first, we must clarify the true intention of the Regent, whether we want to change the prince, rather than we speculate here. If he does want to change the prince, I would object.

The prince is the eldest son, and the prince Shu is the concubine's son, and the legitimate concubine is the concubine's son. This is a tradition. Of course, governing the world depends on talent. We cannot insist on the legitimate concubine in a pedantic way. However, the prince of the regent has not acted in virtue. He has always been modest and cautious and polite. If we must say that he is not capable enough, how powerful is King Shu's ability? At least we have not seen it.

The regent change of the crown prince is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. Unless there are sufficient reasons, unless the regent prince has harmed the country, I don’t think it works just to use an excuse that the ability is not enough to change the crown prince.”

Li Shizhi also expressed his opinion, "I agree with Zhang Xiangguo's point of view. The reason for changing the prince is insufficient, so you must be cautious."

Han Xiu glanced at Li Linfu again, "Where is the Prime Minister Li?"

Li Linfu had already supported Zhang Jiuling once, but this time he turned to the position of the Regent.

"Of course the Regent knows the difference between legitimate and illegitimate, and of course he also knows the significant impact of changing the prince. I believe he is not an impulse, but must be a result of careful consideration. I think we should respect the Regent's decision."

A two-to-two pattern appeared again, and Han Xiu smiled and said, "Let's do this! I will have a good talk with the Regent again to determine whether he decides to change the crown prince, and then tell him the attitude of the two prime ministers. In the end, it will be decided by the emperor and the Regent after discussing with the prime minister. Zhang and Li prime minister can convince the emperor!"

Zhang Jiuling added, "By the way, tell the Regent the reform plan of the Political Affairs Hall we just passed."
