When Liu Che stepped out of the Greenhouse Hall, he was immediately surrounded by Prime Minister Zhang Ou, Imperial Censor Chao Cuo and others.
"My dear, how is your Majesty's dragon body?" Zhang Ou asked immediately without any courtesy.
"Father, everything is fine. I just feel cold and feel unwell for a while..." Liu Che glanced at Zhang Ou and bowed in return.
Zhang Ou, however, knelt down anxiously and said, "Please pay a visit to Your Majesty!" He kowtowed heavily as he spoke.
Liu Che looked at Zhang Ou and sighed in his heart.
In fact, public opinion is not satisfied with Zhang Ou, the prime minister.
Some people say, 'Prime Minister Zhang has taken the position of prime minister and prince...'
There are even harsher opinions.
For example, Liu Che had heard that some Che princes privately commented that "there are no heroes, and the bastards rule the roost!".
At that time, Liu Che just listened and let it go.
After all, if Zhang Ou is to be compared with heroes such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, Guan Ying, Wang Ling, Chen Ping, and Zhang Cang who emerged from the mountains of corpses and achieved fame by stepping on tens of millions of corpses, how can Zhang Ou be compared?
It's very unfair - not to mention Zhang Ou, even the former Prime Minister Shen Tujia was also said at the time that 'one generation is inferior to the other'.
But at this time, Zhang Ou's performance made Liu Che very disappointed.
When the emperor encountered such an emergency.
As the prime minister, the best strategy must be to keep it secret, pretend that nothing happened, appease the ministers, and then meet with the emperor in private to visit, find out the situation, and then decide whether to mobilize troops to impose martial law or to promote peace through singing and dancing.
If Zhongce is the one, there may be multiple options, for example, screen out the left and right first, and then ask about Liu Che's situation.
But Zhang Ou chose the last resort and asked about the emperor's situation in front of the ministers!
Is this nothing more than an announcement that the emperor's situation is already very bad?
Otherwise, why would the Prime Minister be anxious?
"What a pig teammate!" Liu Che sighed, looked around at the ministers, and said calmly: "The Prime Minister wants to visit, so it is natural that he is alone. However, my father only felt the cold occasionally. The Prime Minister is serious about it, so it would be making a fuss out of a molehill."
!”
Liu Che's evaluation of Zhang Ou has dropped rapidly, falling directly below the passing line and heading towards zero points.
Liu Che also understood in his heart that Zhang Ou had been a bureaucrat for so long that he had forgotten how to be an official.
What is Prime Minister?
The impression of the world is that the emperor regulates yin and yang, coordinates the four seasons, and nurtures the proper development of all things. He controls the barbaric princes externally, cares for the people internally, and enables ministers and officials to perform their respective duties. This is what Chen Ping himself said back then.
Maybe this is more general.
Then, what Emperor Xuan said is relatively straightforward - it is the duty of the prime minister to declare enlightenment and enlightenment, to penetrate the underworld, to make the prisons free of unjust punishments, and the towns to have no common people!
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Gai supports the country with his virtues, leads hundreds of people, and harmonizes all countries. His duties are extremely heavy!
In short, as a prime minister, the most important responsibility is to take responsibility and shoulder the important tasks of the country at critical moments.
As for Zhang Ou, his performance at this time was zero!
Of course Liu Che knew that it wasn't that Zhang Ou didn't know what to do, but that he was afraid of taking responsibility, being blamed, and taking the blame.
Therefore, Zhang Ou chose to evade his responsibilities as prime minister.
This is the behavior of a politician, not a politician!
For politicians, of course, I want political achievements, and you are the one who takes the blame.
Politicians, for the sake of the overall situation and coordinating the country, do not limit themselves to one moment, but look to ten years or even a hundred years!
Liu Che shook his head.
He really hoped that the prime minister at this time would still be Shen Tujia!
However, this prime minister was chosen by the emperor's father, and Liu Che had no right to comment.
He took a step forward, looked at Chao Cuo, looked at Yuan Ang, looked at Cen Mai and other three ministers and nine ministers, bowed his head and said: "Father, I feel cold, my body is slightly unwell, and the weather is a bit cold today, so the imperial doctor suggested
, take a rest today, don’t work too hard, my father ordered me to preside over this ‘elimination’ ceremony, I am young and have little virtue, if there is anything I can’t do, please give me some advice and help!”
After saying that, Liu Che bowed his head to the ground and bowed deeply.
As the prince, Liu Che knew very well that at this time, all he needed to do was actually tell the ministers that the emperor was fine and it was just a minor illness.
As a time traveler, Liu Che knows that crisis public relations is an important matter.
After hearing this, all the ministers bowed respectfully: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
Yuan An immediately came over and said: "My family, the great gift of expulsion is ready. Please move to the Xuanshi Hall to summon the relatives of the Marquis of Che, the princes and princes in Beijing, and give them rewards. I have made arrangements with Zongzheng."
alright!"
Chao Cuo also stepped forward and said: "My lord, I have also discussed the details of the expulsion ceremony with the young master. All the guards and forbidden troops have been arranged properly, and the wizards are also ready!"
Zhonglang General Zhidu also said: "My lord, I have also mobilized five thousand soldiers of the Southern Army. They are under martial law in the arsenal and are ready to be dispatched by my lord at any time!"
Other ministers, as well as the Sima and guards responsible for palace security and palace gate guards, also stepped forward to express their attitudes.
Liu Che was very pleased after hearing this.
Although the Prime Minister is not very good, the ministers below are still very competent.
Preparations for the news blackout and martial law were spontaneously completed.
Compared to Zhang Ou who only shirks responsibilities, he is more than a little better!
You must know that the most important thing now is to block the news and prevent the news that the emperor fainted on the day of expulsion from spreading further outside the palace.
As long as the people don't know, nothing will happen - although they will know sooner or later, the palace is famous for its big mouth!
However, knowing right now and knowing a month later are two different things. Moreover, blocking information and imposing martial law are also preparations for the emperor in case something happens.
Moreover, when something happened to the emperor, these people could still complete the preparations for the expulsion ceremony, which is even more rare!
Liu Che knew very well that now, no matter what, the expulsion ceremony must be carried out as usual.
It was necessary to show confidence and convey a signal that the emperor was safe and sound - think about it, if the expulsion ceremony was not even held or if it was held, but there were many mistakes, what would happen if people saw it?
It is not unreasonable for all dynasties to treat the emperor's health and safety as state secrets.
"General Zhonglang!" Liu Che turned to look at Zhidu and said, "Let the soldiers in the arsenal return to camp and lift the martial law in the arsenal!"
Now, since the emperor has no big problem, the martial law in the arsenal is no longer needed.
This is more of a gesture, a gesture that tells others that the emperor is indeed fine.
Otherwise, when the people see the martial law in the arsenal, they will definitely think of it. At this time, if the martial law is lifted and the soldiers are transferred back to the military camp, the people will think that it is a normal rotation or transfer. After all, such situations often happen.
"No!" Zhidu accepted the order and left.
Liu Che looked at the ministers and said, "Please go to the Xuanshi Hall with me to prepare for the great ceremony!"
"No!" All the ministers also bowed respectfully. r1152
