There was silence in the imperial study room for a moment, and the cheerful atmosphere originally brought about by talking about interesting things such as Tang Jian and Li Jing's feud became solemn and solemn.
Generally speaking, after the prince is enthroned, he only needs to learn to handle government affairs from the emperor's side. On the one hand, it is to have more time to learn from the emperor's disciples how to be a good emperor. On the other hand, it is also the emperor's support for the prince.
A control.
After all, the prince is the crown prince and the new emperor who will succeed in the future. He will always gather some civil servants and military generals around him so that he can successfully take over the government in the future. But at the same time, the greatest threat to the throne is also the prince, because the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty
Only the prince has the greatest personal power, and the prince's succession to the throne is justifiable. If the prince dislikes the emperor and lives too long and cannot wait to ascend to the throne, it will be dangerous...
Only when the emperor intends to gradually transfer the power in his hands to the prince, and when the throne can be smoothly transitioned, will the prince be allowed to participate in specific government affairs and be responsible for certain aspects, especially money, food, taxes, and even military affairs.
Could it be said that His Majesty Li Er has planned to gradually hand over power to the Crown Prince?
Not to mention that His Majesty Li Er is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. If he hands over power prematurely, he may still make the same mistake as Emperor Gaozu. Two days ago, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was placed in the Shangshu Province. How could this happen in the blink of an eye?
such earth-shaking changes?
Or maybe something major happened in Tai Chi Palace, forcing His Majesty Li Er to do this?
After all, the significance of this matter is too great to prevent ministers from thinking wildly...
Of course, Li Ji, who mentioned this proposal, is an exception.
Seeing that there was some silence, Li Ji coughed dryly and said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise, I think it is indeed feasible."
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and immediately retorted: "The prince is directly in charge of the central government office, and it is an important place like the Ministry of Civil Affairs that gathers money, food and wealth from all over the world. There is no precedent in the past. I would like to ask your majesty to consider it carefully."
He supports King Jin, and the last thing he wants to see is that the prince's status becomes more stable day by day, and he will start to take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is afraid that before King Jin can show his ability, the prince will tighten his grip on Datang.
The money bag is already as stable as a rock.
What on earth was this emperor thinking?
His Majesty Li Er still had a relaxed look on his face and said nothing. Sun Fujia and Ma Zhou seemed to have met at the right time, and they had no idea of the cause and effect. No matter what their thoughts were, they naturally did not dare to speak rashly.
Li Ji was uncharacteristically speaking today and spoke more than he had in the past month. Then Changsun Wuji said: "The so-called precedents are also created by people. Those who come after follow the rules and follow the rules. How can I say anything about it?"
As for the law that lasts forever? The current situation is changing, the stars are changing, and things in this world are changing with each passing day. The so-called established law will naturally be updated day by day and keep pace with the times. Since the prince can handle government affairs directly by His Majesty's side like a minister, why should the prince?
If we can’t inspect the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the school, why should we learn how to deal with government affairs earlier?”
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth but said nothing.
I felt a little remorseful in my heart, and for a moment I made an oversight and just placed the King of Jin in the Shangshu Province to gain political achievements. I didn't realize that this was an opportunity for the King of Jin, but it also left an opportunity for the prince to take advantage of.
It was against the rules for the King of Jin to enter the Shangshu Province. How could he bring out a prince to compete with him after the prince had already been enthroned? This was not only unfair to the prince, but also laid the foundation for a crisis that would shake up the government.
Under such circumstances, is there any reason to prevent the crown prince from taking charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
Unless the King of Jin is allowed to leave Shangshu Province first...
Of course this won't work.
Changsun Wuji and a group of Guanlong nobles had already formulated a detailed strategy. They were just waiting for the King of Jin to secure his position as Shangshu Province. Then as soon as Fang Jun left, he advised His Majesty Li Er that the King of Jin should inspect the Ministry of War and temporarily act as the Ministry of War.
If the King of Jin were to resign from the position of Minister at this time, all previous efforts would be in vain.
After weighing it in his mind, Changsun Wuji felt that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has reached its peak now, with abundant money and food, and wealth is widespread. Even if the prince joins the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is basically impossible to reach a higher level and make more dazzling achievements.
The results are probably just because the Ministry of Civil Affairs is strong and the political performance is relatively good, so the prince has such a plan.
The most important thing is, even if the prince joins the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can His Majesty Li Er sit back and watch the prince unite all the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for his own use?
Then just wait for the prince to seize power. A coup is almost inevitable...
Therefore, the prince does not need to worry too much when he takes over the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is confident that with the power of the Guanlong nobles, he will support the King of Jin to achieve more dazzling results in the Ministry of War. The only thing to worry about is that Li Ji is uncharacteristically supporting the prince with a clear attitude.
I am afraid that I have reached some kind of agreement with the prince, and I have completely sided with the prince from now on.
But this is almost a matter of time. As long as Guan Long stands behind the King of Jin, Li Ji, who is based on the Shandong family, will definitely be a staunch supporter of the prince. Shandong and Guan Long are mortal enemies of each other. In recent years, the Shandong family has been imprisoned.
The Long nobles suppressed them too hard, and there was no way they could go all the way.
After weighing it over and over in his mind, Changsun Wuji finally said: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He is the best among all the sons he has given birth to. He is talented and adept at government affairs. I congratulate your Majesty!"
This is an implicit agreement to the crown prince's appointment to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he told Li Ji and others that in the future, you should not use the King of Jin's entry into the Shangshu Province as an excuse. If you have any ability, we will use our skills to look after the house.
Let them all come out to see the true story and discuss the merits of each.
Li Ji heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. He immediately shouted loudly: "I congratulate your majesty!"
Sun Fujia and Ma Zhou were confused, but seeing this scene, they could only turn over and prostrate themselves on the ground, and shouted together: "I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Again, I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s always right to praise His Majesty the Emperor’s son, right?
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and laughed, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the prince is promising, the king of Jin is talented, the king of Wei is virtuous, and the king of Wu is also able to open up new territories and take on great responsibilities. I have a successor. Congratulations!"
He also understood what Li Ji meant, which was to bring King Jin out to talk about the issue. If he did not agree with the prince's appointment to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then these prince's subordinates would definitely drag King Jin into the Shangshu Province.
, I will never give up until this matter becomes dirty.
Moreover, he felt a little sorry for the prince in his heart. This would allow the two brothers to compete fairly and compete against each other. When King Jin makes achievements, even if one day he is really easy to save, the prince will surely be convinced.
As for whether the prince can make waves in the Ministry of Civil Affairs... His Majesty Li Er's thoughts are almost the same as those of Changsun Wuji. Today, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already become the top priority among the six ministries, where the world's money, grain, and taxes gather.
, going further is easier said than done?
Even if there are "wizards" like Fang Jun who come up with endless tricks, I'm afraid they don't have any clever ideas...
Everyone congratulated each other. His Majesty Li Er was very happy. Everyone's wishes came true and everyone was very happy.
Only then did His Majesty Li Er think of Sun Fuga and asked: "Sun Siqing has come to the palace to see you, but you have something important to report to me?"
"Your Majesty is wise, exactly."
Sun Fuga then stepped forward, took out the memorial, and handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands.
According to the rules, the chamberlain has to take action first, but since there are only the bosses here, this procedure is saved.
His Majesty Li Er took the memorial, opened it and read ten lines at a glance, then sneered, put the memorial on the coffee table in front of him, and said: "Everyone, take a look, our Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous, and the officials are in charge of Qingming, but these people
There are countless places to abdicate and prevaricate, and the corpses are left to eat."
These words are a bit serious. In the bigger picture, everyone present may be involved. As the chief minister, Li Ji was the first to take the memorandum and read it carefully before passing it to him.
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said nothing.
Changsun Wuji took the memorial and took a look at it. His gray-haired beauty suddenly lit up. He threw the memorial on the coffee table angrily and shouted angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! Your Majesty ordered the Third Law Division to strictly investigate the case of the murder of Guanlong's disciples outside Dashan Pass.
, the original purpose is to concentrate our efforts, solve the case quickly, and give justice to the victim. You and other officials from the Third Law Division have been investigating for such a long time, but there is no progress. Not to mention, we have to gather all the prison masters in Guanzhong again.
Investigate the scene, collect evidence... all kinds of prevarication, prevarication, and even shirking responsibility, just muddle along! Do you still have the king's law in your eyes? Do you still have His Majesty? I have dozens of Guanlong disciples lingering on the bed all day long, wailing, all their lives.
