Chapter 1,587 Formation of six departments, Lin'an panicked
May.
Su Mingzhe summoned his subordinates to hold a meeting in the newly built Yin'an Palace.
The content of this meeting is just one, to form our own system of civil and military officials.
Currently, the civil and military forces under his command are divided into three factions.
The largest faction was the surrendered ministers from Kublai Khan's old vassal.
These people know that they belong to the "Second Ministers". Although they are careful in their daily lives, they secretly stick together and mainly rely on Princess Chabi and Liu Bingzhong.
The second faction is the generals brought by Su Mingzhe from the south, mainly attached to Yang Guo, Wu Dunru, Wu Xiuwen and others.
The third faction is the old ministers of the Jin Kingdom.
They are mainly the old and young of the Jin Kingdom who followed Wan Yanping in his early years.
After Wan Yanping informed them that Xiao Longnv, the concubine of Prince Lu, was also a bereaved child of the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin, these old and young people came to seek refuge with Su Mingzhe and formed the 'Prince's Sect', mainly attached to Su Hui, the crown prince of Prince Lu.
In terms of strength, there is no doubt that Yang Guo's faction controls 80% of the army and is the strongest.
However, the ‘Erchen Faction’ is the largest in number, accounting for the majority in the civil service system, and its power cannot be underestimated.
As for the 'Shizi Sect', they are the old and young of the Jin Kingdom and have the strongest influence among the people.
Su Mingzhe summoned everyone to discuss the establishment of six ministries and an official system.
These three factions are gearing up to expand their factions.
Soon, the formation of six departments was completed.
In July, Su Mingzhe announced the opening of "Enke", the imperial examination to select scholars.
Mid August.
More than 3,000 people from nearly five million households came to take the exam.
Su Mingzhe picked the fine ones from the rough ones, challenged the generals from the short ones, and finally recruited 800 people.
After allowing these newcomers to study politics for a month in the Sixth Department of Dadu.
End of September.
Su Mingzhe decentralized the newly promoted officials to serve as grassroots officials in various places.
…
End of October.
After Guo Jing handed over the affairs, he and Huang Rong returned from outside the customs and wanted to take their three children back to Peach Blossom Island.
"Dad, I don't want to go back to Peach Blossom Island!"
When she learned that her parents wanted to take her back, Guo Fu quickly shook her head and refused.
Under Su Mingzhe's arrangement, Yang Guo, Wu Dunru, and Wu Xiuwen all married the legitimate daughters of prominent families in the Central Plains and settled down.
If Guo Fu returns to Peach Blossom Island with her parents, she will only be able to play with her six or seven-year-old younger siblings.
That's too boring.
As a parent, Guo Jing is a bit old-fashioned. When his daughter is disobedient, he will scold her whenever he glares.
It was Huang Rong who quickly spoke:
"Fu'er, you're not young anymore, so you can't be as willful as before..."
Speaking of Guo Fu's age, she is actually not too old.
She was born in the first year of Shaoding, and is now only twenty-two years old and twenty-one years old.
In Su Mingzhe's opinion, this junior sister is a bright and beautiful young woman, and it has nothing to do with being 'not young' in any way.
Unfortunately, he had no say when Guo Jing and Huang Rong were teaching their daughter, so he could only sit in his seat and drink tea silently.
After a while.
Facing her parents' dominance, Guo Fu had no choice but to give in. However, she also secretly decided that she would sneak back if she found an opportunity.
Two more days passed.
Guo Jing took his family back to Peach Blossom Island.
…
The news that Su Mingzhe established Enke in Dadu and established a "small court" spread to Jiangnan.
Shi Songzhi quickly entered the palace to report the emergency.
The last time Su Mingzhe attacked Dadu and failed to report victory to Lin'an, Shi Songzhi said that Su Mingzhe's behavior was undoubtedly rebellion.
Nowadays, Su Mingzhe has established a "small court", and the two queen mothers, Xie Daoqing and Tang An'an, even if they don't understand politics, they understand what Su Mingzhe wants to do.
Tang Anan secretly scolded Su Mingzhe for not caring about her and her son's life or death, yet he could still pretend to be calm on his face.
Xie Daoqing was so frightened that he trembled all over:
??????55.??????
"Prime Minister, the court treats King Lu well, how dare he do such a rebellious thing?"
Shi Songzhi was speechless when he saw Xie Daoqing, the Queen Mother, saying such innocent words.
However, at this moment, he didn't want to refute anything, he just kept asking for instructions:
"Queen Mother, the matter has come to this, we still need to think of countermeasures as soon as possible!"
The two queen mothers and the prime minister pondered for a long time.
Or Tang Anan quickly came up with an idea:
"Here in the Ai family, there is a solution that is not a solution!"
…
Early November.
Chang Xi came to Dadu with an edict-proclaiming team.
When Su Mingzhe learned that the young emperor wanted to address him as his 'xiang father' and let him take over the position of 'right prime minister', his first reaction was that he was at a loss:
"I am your biological father. You worship me as your 'xiang father' because you don't want to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, right?"
Seeing the eunuch Chang Xi kneeling in front of him and reading out the imperial edict, Su Mingzhe frowned, obviously in a low mood and unhappy.
After reading out the imperial edict, Chang Xi didn't get Su Mingzhe's permission and didn't dare to get up. However, he quietly raised his head and saw that Su Mingzhe was in a bad mood. Although he didn't know the reason, he could only flatter and apologize:
"Your Majesty, the officials are very filial to you. From the day you ascended the throne, they began to build a palace and garden for you outside Lin'an City and next to the West Lake!"
"In that palace, there are not only thirty-six palaces, but also three thousand beauties selected from all over the world..."
Chang Xi carefully talked about old things in Lin'an, which finally made Su Mingzhe's mood ease a little.
I still remember that a few years ago, Chang Xi went to Xiangyang to read out the imperial edict. He had to set up an incense burner and kneel down to receive the edict.
Now, he was sitting on the dragon chair in Yin'an Palace, while Chang Xi, the eunuch in charge, had to kneel in front of him to accompany him carefully.
No wonder so many people want to be powerful ministers.
It turns out that this powerful minister is more comfortable than being an emperor.
When he felt better, Su Mingzhe asked someone to take the imperial edict and read it.
I heard from Chang Xi that this imperial edict was written by the young emperor himself.
The three- and four-year-old children could not even hold the brush steady, and the words they wrote were like claws in the snow and mud, making it difficult to read:
"This kid still needs to practice his handwriting more..."
Su Mingzhe looked at the imperial edict, and inexplicably began to imagine in his mind that he was back in Lin'an City, with Tang An'an, mother and son, and a family of three enjoying themselves, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unknowingly.
Chang was happy to see that Su Mingzhe finally smiled, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time he came to Dadu to announce the decree, and also brought a mission from the Queen Mother.
No matter what, we must coax Su Mingzhe to go to Lin'an.
"Your Majesty is interested."
Su Mingzhe guessed that building a palace for himself in Lin'an was most likely arranged by Tang An'an or Shi Songzhi, and had nothing to do with the little emperor.
However, this imperial edict was handwritten by the little emperor after all.
This made Su Mingzhe feel a trace of father-son affection:
"Eunuch Chang, please forgive me and get free."
After asking Chang Xi to get up, Su Mingzhe gave him a seat, then asked about the current situation of Lin'an City, and by the way asked how the puppet emperor of Nanchang was doing.
A few years ago, Yi Wang Zhao Guiqian proclaimed himself emperor and established a new court in Nanchang, dividing the small Southern Song Dynasty into two.
At this moment, the scope of the Lin'an government's jurisdiction is limited to the Fifth and Sixth Roads near Jiangnan, with a population of 10 million.
As the little emperor's biological father, Su Mingzhe began to fight for him.
Not long after.
When the civil and military officials heard the news, they came in to express their congratulations.
When Su Mingzhe saw everyone arrived, he announced a temporary decision he had made:
"The young emperor worships me as his father-in-law, so I have to go to Lin'an to express my gratitude! After I leave, all matters in the capital city will be handed over to Princess Chabi, Liu Changshi, and Manager Yang to take charge of them. Other departments will assist and must not mess up the rules...
