The Queen Mother suddenly withdrew the curtain, and the Emperor took charge of the throne. Although the government and the public were shocked and the ministers were astonished, it was indeed a great event worthy of celebration in the court.
In order to persuade the Queen Mother to withdraw the political curtain as soon as possible, the courtiers, including the three bachelors, have almost lost their words these days.
Now that he got what he wanted so easily, all the civil and military officials recovered from their initial shock and felt relieved. The big stone that had been hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
When the emperor Zhao Zongquan finally took over the power, he was extremely happy, and all the officials in the palace were rewarded.
As for all affairs in the court, Zhao Zongquan did not rush to make drastic reforms as soon as he came up. Instead, he informed Han Zhang and other court officials that everything was as usual and they could just follow the procedures step by step.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials, who were originally in danger due to the sudden changes in the court situation, felt a lot more relieved.
After digesting the Queen Mother's edict announcing the withdrawal of curtains, the morning court proceedings continued. This was the first morning court after Zhao Zongquan came to power, and all the ministers were in high spirits.
The first thing that Zhao Zongquan handed over to the ministers for discussion was the Great Zhou Yi Relief Lottery matter that Wei Chen had mentioned to Zhao Ceying before.
Generally speaking, in the first court meeting after the emperor takes office, as long as the request made is not too excessive, the officials will not refute the emperor's face. This is also the tacit understanding between the courtiers and the emperor.
However, perhaps because the late emperor was too lenient with the officials when he was in power, there are still a few stubborn officials who are eager to try and break the rules and "become famous with just one remonstrance."
However, when they heard that the Emperor himself said that this was what the Queen Mother meant, these officials were immediately glared at by their superiors and had to stop.
There must be a reason behind the sudden withdrawal of the curtain by the Queen Mother.
And today, when the emperor proposed the charity lottery, he made it clear that the Queen Mother had to withdraw the curtain, and the emperor must have acquiesced.
What if the matter failed to pass the court meeting due to the trouble caused by a few indifferent officials, and the Queen Mother was angered, and the curtain withdrawal was repeated again, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?
Therefore, the big shots in the DPRK and China, including the official leaders, all restrained their subordinates unanimously and warned them not to do much, and the matter was settled calmly.
After the morning court, the officials gradually dispersed with their own concerns. Wei Chen happened to meet Sheng Changbai in the square outside Chongzheng Hall. The two walked together and had a pleasant conversation.
Like Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai was born as a Jinshi in the sixth year of Tianyou's reign. After entering the Hanlin Academy, he was deeply appreciated by the superiors because of his prudent manner and capable work. Within two years, he was promoted from Hanlin editor (seventh grade) to Hanlin editor.
(from the sixth grade).
Later, he accumulated merit and was promoted to Hanlin Minister (sixth grade). The speed of promotion was considered to be the leader in the same field, only lower than Wei Chen.
Of course, Sheng Changbai's career could be so smooth not only because of his own outstanding abilities, but also because of the help of his in-laws and the Hai family.
The poetry and calligraphy of the Hai family has been passed down from generation to generation. In the past thirty years, five people have successively entered the Hanlin Academy as officials. They are known as "one school and five Hanlins". They have always had a deep foundation in the Hanlin Academy.
Not to mention how much glory Sheng Changbai can get as the son-in-law of the Hai family, at least he can avoid being deliberately suppressed by some people.
This is the benefit of having a backer. Sheng Hong also worked hard to find this good match for his son.
When the new king came to the throne, Sheng Changbai was selected as a co-examiner for the Enke Examination of the First Year of Public Security, and became colleagues with Wei Chen. With this golden resume, the qualification problem that had been hindering Sheng Changbai basically disappeared.
.
Wei Chen was also sincerely happy for Sheng Changbai. From Wei Chen's point of view, as long as Sheng Changbai could continue his efforts and make some achievements in his current position, he might be promoted again and officially enter the workforce in a year or two.
The sequence for entering the middle and upper levels of the Hanlin Academy.
By then, whether Sheng Changbai continues to be an official in the central government or moves to a local government, the future will be bright.
However, judging from the conversation just now, it seems that Sheng Changbai still hopes to go out and do practical things for the people.
This is in line with Sheng Changbai's temperament, and if he can really take charge of one side, it will be of great benefit to Sheng Changbai in the future. Wei Chen naturally has no reason to object.
Seeing that Sheng Changbai had such thoughts, Wei Chen simply talked to Sheng Changbai about his experiences and experiences when he was in power in Yuzhou.
Sheng Changbai has been in the Hanlin Academy for these years, and what he lacks is experience in these places. Now when he heard Wei Chen, a person from the past, talk about it, he immediately listened attentively, and it was a bit like he used to be a student in the Shengjia School.
Seeing Sheng Changbai's serious look as an obedient student, Wei Chen was amused, but he also secretly thought about how he could give his uncle more credit in the future, so as to help him fulfill his wish as soon as possible.
While he was thinking about it, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Wei Chen turned around and saw Zhao Ceying walking quickly towards this side. He thought he had something to say to him.
So Wei Chen signaled Sheng Changbai to go ahead, while he stopped and waited for a moment.
"Thanks to the teacher, the court can be in the situation it is today. On behalf of the Queen Mother and the father, I would like to express my gratitude here!"
As soon as he came closer, Zhao Ceying bowed and bowed deeply to Wei Chen, thanking him repeatedly.
Zhao Ceying's move was by no means a polite gesture, but was completely from the bottom of his heart, sincerely thanking Wei Chen.
In the morning court today, the situation in the court was changing. Wei Chen seemed to have no sense of presence in it, but Zhao Ceying felt like a bright mirror in his heart. If Wei Chen had not pointed out a clear path to Zhao Ceying a few days ago, I am afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor would have
At this time, the situation is still tense, and the dispute may become even more tense, and the matter of withdrawing the curtain and returning power is still far away.
After all, Wei Chen is the biggest behind-the-scenes hero of what happened today!
"It's not worth mentioning the small merits. Your Highness's words are serious. On the contrary, Your Highness, just a few days after the meeting in the study, you were able to persuade the Queen Mother with your sincerity and filial piety, which really makes me admire you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Chen did not mean to take any credit or be arrogant. Instead, he put all the credit on Zhao Ceying, making Zhao Ceying feel a little embarrassed when he praised her.
Of course Zhao Ceying understood that Wei Chen was doing this for his own sake, and would rather suffer a loss for himself than to establish a reputation of pure filial piety, benevolence and righteousness for him in the hearts of the civil and military dynasties.
Feeling Wei Chen's good intentions, Zhao Ceying couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and he trusted and relied on Wei Chen even more.
It happened that he had an important matter at the moment and needed the teacher's advice.
"Teacher, today in the morning at court, my father proposed the charity lottery, and everyone in the court had almost no objections. I think we can try it out in the near future. However, this charity lottery is a new thing after all, and the Queen Mother and the students are not interested in it.
I only know a little bit about it, and I don’t know where to start. I hope the teacher can give me some guidance.”
Wei Chen nodded slightly when he heard this.
Wei Chen had already expected that Zhao Ceying would participate in the preparation of the charity lottery. After all, the Queen Mother was in a deep palace and had many inconveniences. She could only preside over the overall situation. Some specific matters would most likely fall to Zhao Ceying.
superior.
Previously at the palace, Wei Chen simply introduced the principles of the lottery to Zhao Ceying. Now he is about to roll out the implementation of the lottery. How to do it needs to be carefully considered.
Although the issuance of lottery tickets is not a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, if the process is not done properly, it can easily cause trouble and attract criticism.
Losing some money is still a small matter, but if it damages the dignity of the royal family, especially Zhao Ceying's reputation, it will greatly violate Wei Chen's original intention of offering advice.
Therefore, even if Zhao Ceying does not come to find Wei Chen today, Wei Chen will go to him after he is released from office and explain to him the pros and cons and key points. If you like to know, starting from Meng Tong, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net)
