Chapter 207 Ascension to the throne, Yitian chessboard shakes
The third day of November in the 46th year of Takeori.
early morning.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the Temple of Heaven, the Altar of Xiannong, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple to inform the royal ancestors.
Si time.
The bells and drums were ringing in the imperial city.
Qin Wei walked behind the Sheng'an Gate Tower wearing golden robes.
The civil and military officials who had been waiting in front of the imperial city gate for a long time were dressed in official uniforms and entered the imperial city under the guidance of officials from Honglu Temple.
The ministers stood in the square in front of the Shengtian Palace. Wen Dong and Wu Xi knelt on both sides of the royal road.
After Qin Wei came down from the Sheng'an Gate Tower, he entered the Shengtian Hall and took his seat. All the ministers filed in according to their official rank.
The ministers knelt three times and kowtowed nine times according to the command. When the officials were saluting, the music was not played, and the ministers' congratulatory expressions were not announced.
Finally, Eunuch Lu, the eunuch who held the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, issued the edict in a solemn and grand ceremony.
Sitting on the dragon chair in the Shengtian Palace, Qin Wei looked down at the courtiers kneeling down below, his face as calm as ever.
Ascended to the throne!
From then on, he was the emperor of the Dali Dynasty.
It has been nearly three years since I came to this world, and after many twists and turns, I finally got what I wanted and became the emperor.
Qin Wei's heart was full of joy and excitement, but on the surface he still maintained his calm expression.
Recalling the past three years, Qin Wei felt an unreal feeling in his heart.
Just as Qin Wei was recalling it, he suddenly felt the Yitian chessboard in the sea of consciousness shaking violently.
As the mind surged, countless golden brilliance appeared on the Yitian chessboard, thousands of threads lingering around the Yitian chessboard, completely wrapping the Yitian chessboard as if it had turned into a golden cocoon.
There is vast power surging in it, and the originally calm sea of consciousness is now turbulent like a tsunami, making Qin Wei's mind shake.
"This is!"
Qin Wei was shocked.
But the surprise was followed by great joy.
Because he found that the momentum was rising crazily, the rate of increase was beyond his imagination, and the Yitian chessboard seemed to be undergoing a radical change.
"What will change?"
Seeing this, Qin Wei couldn't help but look forward to it.
It is expected that the power of Shi Qi will skyrocket. After all, he has ascended the throne and is the emperor of Dali. The power he possesses is incomparable. The skyrocketing of Shi Qi is a matter of course.
But the Yitian chessboard changed again, making him look forward to it even more.
Since he obtained the Yitian chessboard, there have been many changes in the Yitian chessboard, from the white jade chess pieces that can transform chess pieces into characters, to the black chess pieces that can be obtained from the Wanfa Furnace, and then to the chess pieces that can display the power of heaven.
White chess pieces.
However, these changes are all changes on the chess pieces, and this time the changes come from the chessboard.
Qin Wei waited, but the Yitian chessboard seemed to be against him.
The majestic fluctuations continued without any sign of ending.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony has ended!"
Just when Qin Wei felt anxious, Mr. Lu next to him spoke up.
Qin Wei came back to his senses and frowned slightly.
At this time, his mood was full of expectation and impatience, and he didn't want to pay attention to other things at all.
But this was not the time for him to explore the Yitian chessboard. He took a deep breath to calm down his irritable mind.
Calm, calm, calm!
The Yitian chessboard is right there, it can't escape, I just need to wait with peace of mind.
After calming down his turbulent heart, Qin Wei asked: "What should we do next?"
It's a bit funny to say that more than half a month has passed since the death of the old emperor. In the past half month, Qin Wei was like a puppet on strings, guided by the Supervisor of Rites and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, holding various events.
A ceremony.
There were a lot of complicated etiquettes, which made Qin Wei confused.
"Your Majesty has to deal with government affairs next, and he has accumulated a lot of government affairs recently." Mr. Lu said impartially.
As soon as Qin Wei heard about the government affairs, he remembered the large number of memorials, and his head started to hurt again.
But he still said helplessly: "Then let's deal with the government affairs!"
Eunuch Lu nodded and immediately led Qin Wei out of the hall. At the same time, the officials in the hall also dispersed.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and all the ministers had their own thoughts.
One generation of emperors and one generation of ministers.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will definitely be many changes in the court.
As for what changes will occur, it depends on Qin Wei's thoughts.
Back in the imperial study, Qin Wei saw the memorial on the desk and couldn't help but rub his brows with a headache.
He wants to be emperor, but he doesn't want to be a hard-working emperor.
If he stayed in his study every day reviewing memorials, what would be the point of doing this as an emperor?
No matter it was not the time to give up his choice yet, he could only sit behind his desk and start dealing with these messy memorials.
"Where is the Queen?"
He asked while reviewing the memorial.
"We have already entered Tianzhou, and we will arrive in Kyoto in five days!" Eunuch Lu replied.
As early as more than ten days ago, Qin Wei sent Xiao Shunzi to pick up Situ Qianxue.
Since he has ascended the throne, the position of queen naturally belongs to Situ Qianxue.
Qin Wei nodded and asked again: "Is there anything going on in the court?"
"What does your Majesty mean?" Eunuch Lu asked.
"What are the reactions of the adults to my ascension to the throne?" Qin Wei said.
Eunuch Lu thought for a while and said, "For now, you adults are quite safe."
The important ministers in the court were all selected by the old emperor, so it is natural that they are not mediocre people who can be valued by the old emperor.
For example, the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and the governors in the governor's office can all be regarded as people with both talents and virtues. Of course, they also have their own positions and interests, but they have not missed the big picture, which is still good.
Qin Wei was quite satisfied with this and had not thought about drastic changes in the court structure.
After all, he has just ascended the throne, and there are still many problems inside and outside Dali. At this time, the court naturally focuses on stability.
Qin Wei put down his pen, thought for a moment and said, "Let some of the cabinet ministers come over."
"Here!"
Eunuch Lu responded.
After a while, five cabinet ministers, Ji Yuanchen, Li Siyuan, Luo Zheng, Song Yuange and Wang Lu, came to the imperial study room.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"No gifts!"
Qin Wei waved his hand casually and said.
He raised his head and looked at the five cabinet ministers.
For the emperor, the cabinet was a vital institution.
They have almost an overview of the entire Dali government affairs, and they are also the emperor's think tank. In the past, the old Li Emperor was so strong and diligent that the cabinet did not seem very important.
But in the future, Qin Wei will try his best to delegate power to the cabinet, and the importance of the cabinet will increase several times.
Among the five ministers of the cabinet, Ji Yuanchen had the deepest relationship with him. Qin Wei was still very satisfied with Ji Yuanchen, the chief minister of the cabinet, but Ji Yuanchen was nearly eighty years old and his energy was a little low.
The second assistant, Li Siyuan, is also good. He is old, prudent and experienced, and he is not too old. He is only in his early sixties. The old Lihuang should have intended for him to take over from Ji Yuanchen.
In comparison, Luo Zheng and Wang Lu were worse. They actually represented two civil service systems, one was the Liangzhou faction and the other was the Jiangzhou faction. They were not considered cliques. If they dared to form a clique, how could the old emperor tolerate it?
It's just that there are many official families in Liangzhou and Jiangzhou, and their mutual interests are deeply involved, so factions naturally formed.
In fact, the existence of factions in the court is not entirely a bad thing, as long as their fights are controlled within a certain range and a balance is maintained.
Finally, there is Song Yuan Pavilion, who represents the Yan Zhen lineage in the cabinet.
In fact, the largest civil servant faction in Dali Chaotang is the Yanzhen lineage.
Yan Zhen had a large number of disciples, and countless disciples and grandsons. The key was that Yan Zhen still controlled the Imperial College, and all the students who came out of the Imperial College were considered Yan Zhen's disciples and grandsons.
In this regard, even Li Xun is far inferior.
"I have something I want to discuss with you all, dear friends." Qin Wei said with a gentle smile.
He looked like a gentle and elegant nobleman, without the domineering and powerful qualities that an emperor should have.
Ji Yuanchen and the other five people were all stunned when they saw him like this, and then they had different reactions.
Ji Yuanchen was stunned for a moment before regaining his previous composure.
Song Yuange showed a surprised look, while Li Siyuan and Luo Zheng felt a little strange.
Qin Wei's reputation outside was not very good. They all thought that Qin Wei was a difficult master, but they did not expect that Qin Wei could be so kind when he spoke, which surprised them.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!" Ji Yuanchen said.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "There are many things in the cabinet, and I would like to add two ministers to the cabinet to share the burden for my dear friends."
Ji Yuanchen was not surprised when he heard this, "Your Majesty, does he have someone to choose?"
"Li Ru, the chief envoy of Yuanzhou, and Di Renjie, the commander of Shuzhou Zhenwu Division!" Qin Wei said.
Ji Yuanchen was startled. He could understand Li Ru joining the cabinet, but Di Renjie joining the cabinet?
"Is Di Renjie suitable?"
"Is there anything inappropriate?" Qin Wei said lightly.
Is it appropriate for Di Renjie to join the cabinet?
Of course it's inappropriate.
Putting aside the issue of Di Renjie's qualifications, let's just say that the Zhenwu Division should belong to the military attache system. It is naturally inappropriate for a military attache to join the cabinet.
But Qin Wei knew that Di Renjie was really suitable. Di Renjie had been prime minister in history.
Seeing Qin Wei's indifferent expression, Ji Yuanchen immediately lowered his head.
"Old minister, I understand!"
"Um!"
Qin Wei smiled and said, "The two of them are a little inexperienced. The elder needs to help them more."
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Ji Yuanchen said.
Seeing this, the other people were silent.
Maybe they were a little dissatisfied, but this was the first thing Qin Wei did after he ascended the throne, and they did not dare to refute Qin Wei's face.
Since Qin Wei planned to delegate power to the cabinet in the future, he naturally had to arrange for a few close friends to take charge of the affairs of the cabinet.
Li Ru, Di Renjie, and Wang Shouren will be added in the future. With these three people in the cabinet, Qin Wei can be a hands-off cabinet minister.
However, they currently lack experience and do not have a thorough understanding of Dali's overall political affairs, so the cabinet is still dominated by Ji Yuanchen.
After Ji Yuanchen retires, Qin Wei can truly delegate power to the cabinet.
Not only the cabinet, but also the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies. Qin Wei also had concerns in his mind, but these things had to be done slowly and there was no need to rush.
…
After Ji Yuanchen and others resigned, Qin Wei was too lazy to continue dealing with these messy memorials.
He asked the little eunuch next to him to bring a rocking chair and sit in front of the study window.
It was already winter, and the winter in Kyoto seemed extremely dry and cold. All the flowers, plants and trees outside the window were withered, and they were shivering under the cold north.
There is a stove in the study, which is quite warm.
Chunhua and Qiuyue saw Qin Wei lying on the rocking chair and quickly took a blanket to cover him.
When a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.
When Qin Wei ascends the throne, the people in Prince Rui's palace will naturally become more prosperous.
Chunhua and Qiuyue were arranged by him again as his personal maids. However, Lin Zhan, the original commander of the palace guards, did not enter the palace. Qin Wei directly sent him to the Forbidden Army, which was considered to have given him a good future.
As for Shuzhou, Situ Qianxue is the queen, and the two concubines Yuqing and Yuling are named third-grade Jieyu, so they are not treated badly.
Food and sex!
Qin Wei is a man, and he is also an emperor, so naturally he will not be a gentleman.
However, these days were still the period of filial piety for the old emperor, so he just stayed in the empty room. After the period of filial piety was over, he planned to include Chunhua and Qiuyue into the harem.
Qin Wei's attitude towards women is very simple. He doesn't need many, and he doesn't indulge in beauty. A few well-behaved women are enough.
"I'm going to take a nap, please step aside first!"
Qin Wei gave instructions to the eunuchs in the study.
After hearing this, Eunuch Lu immediately left the study with a group of young eunuchs.
Qin Wei was lying on the rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, but his mind had sunk into the Yitian chessboard.
The shaking on the Yitian chessboard finally ended. Although Qin Wei couldn't wait to explore the changes on the Yitian chessboard, he still acted slowly.
