After seeing off Shang Rong, Liu Che also felt a little tired.
These days, like Shang Rong, he is actually busy with state affairs every day.
When the Han-Hungarian war was imminent, his sleep was also very bad.
I often dream about the Han army struggling in the ice and snow of Hetao. I wake up in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat.
Under such circumstances, his temper also became a little irritable.
Even a little cruel.
Fortunately, he knows how to restrain and control his personality.
He had a temper and vented it in the palace.
In front of the courtiers, he still maintained his image.
"From now on, Shang Rong's memorials will be submitted to me first!" Liu Che said, "Also, Zhang Tang's memorials will be sent directly to my case without the need for Lantai to read them!"
"No!" The people on the left and right took the order tremblingly.
The day before yesterday, the emperor dragged a eunuch down and gave him fifty sticks for a trivial matter, almost beating him to death.
No one dares to make even the slightest mistake in front of the Emperor at this time.
It wasn't until these people retreated that Liu Che violently kicked a wooden shelf in front of him, kicked off all the porcelain bottles on it, and threw them to the ground.
All the eunuchs and maids in the palace immediately knelt down, looking terrified.
Liu Che closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "It's none of your business!"
He misses Wang Dao now.
In the past, when Wang Dao was here, there would never have been such a backlog of Shang Rong's memorials in Lantai.
Liu Che understands that there are indeed a lot of things going on in Lantai recently.
Especially Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo were both out.
Many matters that were originally handled by the Prime Minister's Palace and the Yushi doctor were also backlogged in Lantai.
The ministers in Lantai are now working day and night, working overtime.
Ji An has not returned home for five consecutive days, and has stayed in the palace for food and accommodation.
This incident cannot be blamed on Lantai.
Just like what happened at the beginning, he actually wrongly blamed Wang Dao.
But so what?
He is the emperor!
The emperor wanted to save face and could not admit his mistakes.
Therefore, after he investigated clearly after the incident, he just got Wang Dao out of Yangling and then sent him to Shu County.
Go to the local area to supervise and coordinate the state-owned workshop and the two father-in-laws.
But now, Liu Che finally found out.
It is true that the emperor cannot do without eunuchs.
Especially the loyal eunuchs.
Eunuchs are more concerned about many things than ministers.
Just like the current situation, if Wang Dao were there, he would definitely take advantage of the eunuch and help Liu Che sort out many things.
Sighing, Liu Che had to shake his head.
There are many eunuchs who can do things in this world.
But there is only one royal way that can really make him believe and entrust him with important tasks.
If not for anything else, it was because Liu Che knew that even if everyone in the world betrayed him, this loyal slave would not.
Because of this, his reaction was so big and direct.
Only after finding out the truth will he become so entangled.
Putting this problem aside for the time being, Liu Che walked to the imperial garden that he could only enter.
Look at the beautiful flowers that are growing very well and are magnificent.
Countless bees are flying among them.
After admiring the scenery for a while, Liu Che walked forward. In the center of the garden was a simple attic.
There is a very ordinary table and seats in the attic.
Liu Che sat down here, picked up his pen, opened the book that had not been opened for a long time, and turned it to the latest page.
Then, Liu Che took up a pen and wrote a question on it: Who is the prime minister?
Today's Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yafu, has been the prime minister for five years.
In other words, he will have to step down in three years.
To choose the new prime minister, we must list the candidates and observe and pay attention to them.
Unfortunately, just like in the Taizong Dynasty, after Zhang Cang resigned, the Manchu Dynasty could not find a suitable successor. In the end, they had to select a short general and choose Shen Tujia.
You know, Shen Tujia was just a Guannei Hou at that time.
He was hastily made a prince by Taizong before he paid homage to the prime minister.
In a sense, this actually set a precedent for later generations of the Emperor Wu Dynasty to be granted the title of marquis first when he became prime minister.
Of course, Shen Tujia was not comparable to those crooked melons and cracked jujubes from Emperor Wu's dynasty.
As a hero who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, although he is a bit pedantic, he has a strong willpower and strong execution ability.
During his prime ministership, he even suppressed Chao Cuo and beat him.
If Chao Cuo hadn't relied on Liu Che's father, he would have been no match for the old prime minister!
pity……
Liu Che opened the list of heroes of the Han family.
The heroes of Emperor Gaodi, even the Marquis of Guannei, have all withered away now.
The country no longer has an old minister who once followed Liu Bang and founded the Han Dynasty to support the backbone.
Even the younger generation like Uncle Tian is now at the end of his career.
And Taizong's heroes were almost withered.
The only one who is still alive and kicking is Song Chang.
But Song Chang is so reliable that sows can even climb trees!
Even the heroes who rose up after Taizong came to power have almost withered away.
Even if there are some who are still jumping around, they are much older than Zhou Yafu.
Now, the princes are active in the court.
Counting the numbers, Chen Jia is the Marquis of Fuyang? Lu Qingjian is the Marquis of Zhongshui? Liu She is the Marquis of Tao? The Marquis of Wuyang is from Fanshi?
Relying on flattery to become prime minister?
Liu Che was not Emperor Wu, so he did not need to evade the prime minister to achieve the dictatorship of the king.
On the contrary, he needs a strong prime minister to assist him in governing.
Especially a prime minister like Zhou Yafu, who can adhere to principles while also being able to compromise, is also able to see changes in the world.
Therefore, after Zhou Yafu left office, Liu Che discovered that he encountered the same problem as his grandfather.
Among the princes, there is no one better than the former prime minister.
Anyone who takes the stage will be faced with a majestic figure looking up like a tall mountain.
In this case, it is very difficult to choose a suitable candidate for prime minister!
Those who are able may not be willing, and those who are willing may not be able.
And Liu Che now faces an even more embarrassing problem. He doesn't even have the talent among his relatives.
Righteousness?
He was too young. Before he turned 40, Liu Che planned to develop him in the army.
As for Zhuo, Cheng Zheng?
It is even more impossible for two businessmen to participate in politics.
In other words, in fact, after Zhou Yafu, there was a break in the Han family.
Liu Che, like Ji An, Zhang Tang, and Gongsun Hong, believed that it would take at least ten years for those with the talent to be prime ministers to be qualified to become prime ministers.
These ten years have been a huge window period.
And Liu Che is obviously not the kind of person who is willing to give in or change his mind easily.
He established a system whereby the prime minister must step down when his term expires.
Then he must set an example and stick to this system.
and make it a rule.
Since it is a rule, it cannot be broken.
No matter how reluctant he was to leave Zhou Yafu, Liu Che also knew that he must retire when the time comes!
This is not only for the good of Zhou Yafu, but also for the good of the Han Dynasty. (To be continued.)
