Empress Dowager Yu relaxed and stopped making things difficult and delaying.
The Yu family, the Gu family, and the officials who secretly surrendered to Empress Dowager Yu had no choice but to cease their activities.
November 18th is the most recent auspicious day. After the Ministry of Rites selected the auspicious day, it became busy.
Xie Jun is now the Minister of Rites, handling the canonization ceremony for his daughter, and he does his best. He is so busy that the wind is blowing under his feet, but he does not feel tired at all.
The Xie family also completely changed their family structure because of Xie Mingxi.
Also changing their homes was the Mei family, which had never been inconspicuous in the past.
Overnight, the Xie family and the Mei family became the new rich in the capital.
According to the practice of Daqi, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he can confer kings and titles for his mother's family and his wife's family. Everyone in the Mei family and the Xie family suppressed their excitement and joy and waited quietly for the canonization of the queen. After the canonization ceremony, they would ask for help in private.
Now that the censors have given a memorial, the emperor should have remembered his own incident!
The Xiao family made it clear and supported the emperor and the empress, which also earned the new emperor's goodwill. Xiao Shangshu had already reached the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs and could not be promoted further. However, the Xiao family had many nephews and promoted and appointed two or three useful people.
, which is also the proper meaning.
As for the Li family, they quickly turned their guns and greatly reduced the turmoil caused by the death of Ningxia Wang and his wife.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the ones who benefited the most from betting were undoubtedly Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge. The smooth and beautiful paths of Lu Chi and Zhao Qi can be seen at a glance. The Lu family and the Zhao family, by virtue of their ability to follow the dragon, can at least
Guaranteed prosperity and wealth that will last for decades.
Among the generals, the Lian family is the most contented.
In the past, when Mrs. Lian was mentioned as the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, everyone in the Lian family hated him deeply and wished they could cut off all ties with Mr. Lian.
Now, everyone in the Lian family is eager to hold Mrs. Lian above their heads.
What happened to the woman?
A woman can also be the new emperor’s master!
The woman is still the commander-in-chief of the Shu army!
The number of five thousand Shu soldiers is not that many, and compared with the tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, they are also a bit shabby. However, these are the direct lineage soldiers of the new emperor!
The status of an honest man has naturally increased, and can no longer be ignored.
The decline of the Lian family is an indisputable fact. Their influence in the army is gradually weakening, and their children and grandchildren have entered the military camp, and most of their official positions are not high. In the future, relying on the Lian family, the new emperor will rarely be close to the Lian family's son and use him in a high-level manner.
During the court meeting, the new emperor took the initiative to mention Mr. Lian. He first praised Mr. Lian for his good military training, then recalled the time when he practiced martial arts with Mr. Lian, and finally, he praised the old general Lian who had passed away for many years for teaching his children and grandchildren how to learn.
Fang waits.
All the ministers were very thoughtful people, so they naturally understood that the emperor wanted to praise the Lian family, and also the Lian family. They all secretly expressed their gratitude to the Lian family for their good luck.
However, no one expected that the new emperor actually wanted to make Mrs. Lian a female general.
When the new emperor revealed this intention, all the ministers were shocked, and there were waves of opposition in the court. Compared with more than two years ago when they heard that Master Lian was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, the opposition was even more intense.
However, this time, everyone in the Lian family who had a share in the court came forward to support the new emperor.
Only Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge did not say a word from beginning to end.
As the Queen's canonization ceremony was approaching and the ministers opposed the matter fiercely, the new emperor had to put it aside for the time being.
…
"These ministers are really pedantic."
The weather was getting colder, and a charcoal pot had been lit in Fulin Palace, and the bedroom was warm. The emperor took off his dragon robe, looking not at all serious, with his clothes exposed, looking like a handsome man, hugging the queen and complaining.
"Don't I just want to make a female general? Are they so opposed to it?"
Xie Mingxi was also disheveled, leaning lazily on Sheng Hong's chest, reaching out to grab Sheng Hong's dishonest and restless hand: "The court has always been a man's world. You suddenly want to make a female general, in their eyes
Come on, this is a deviant move. Of course we must try our best to stop your ridiculous move!"
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and snorted: "I want to praise the master once. I have sealed this female general. The five thousand Shu soldiers are the elite soldiers trained by the master. I will make the master the commander of the Shu soldiers. Listen directly.
For me, the emperor."
Shenghong's abacus is very good.
The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival.
He wanted to make Concubine Lian a female general, but the ministers objected fiercely. Instead, he decided to do the next best thing and made Concubine Lian the commander of the Shu army, and she would directly obey the emperor's orders. They must have nothing to say!
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Zhou Quan, the emperor's personal guard commander?"
Sheng Hong suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cunning fox: "He doesn't want what he wants, how can he be embarrassed!"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi was so perceptive that she realized it almost immediately, her eyes full of astonishment: "You mean, Zhou Quan admires Mrs. Lian?"
Sheng Hong nodded and laughed in a low voice: "Zhou Quan is also a fool. He has secretly admired Master for several years, but never dared to reveal his feelings. It was only when I was in Shu that I became aware of his thoughts."
"I think Master is already a young man, and Zhou Quan is also a young and handsome man. It would be a good thing if they could be brought together as a couple."
Xie Mingxi thought for a while and said: "We have to find out what Mr. Lian says about this matter first. Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me."
Sheng Hong smiled and nodded.
The couple quickly started talking again.
"Mingxi, I have something to discuss with you." Sheng Hong looked down at Xie Mingxi and said in a rather solemn tone: "This matter concerns the Mei family and the Xie family."
Xie Mingxi was startled and looked up at Sheng Hong's rare serious face. A thought quickly flashed through her mind: "Don't you want to confer a title on the Mei family and the Xie family?"
"That's right." Sheng Hong's eyes flashed and his voice was low: "I can support my mother's family and my wife's family, select available people from the Mei family and the Xie family, and grant them some official positions."
"However, I do not plan to grant any more titles to the king."
"I also plan to slowly reduce the privileges of royal family members."
"There are many parties in the court, and it is common for powerful families to join forces secretly, and they can even influence the government. The Yu family and the Gu family are the best example."
"My mother has been the queen for decades, and now she is the queen mother. The Yu family has enjoyed decades of glory because of my mother. The Yu family and the Gu family are closely connected, and there are not a few clan members and officials who have secretly surrendered."
"This force is quite huge. The civil servants headed by Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge have also formed a faction. There are also the kings of Lu, Fujian, Ningxia and other parties. People in the court are complicated. Most of their energy is spent fighting each other for power.
On the other hand, ministers who do their job seriously are rare."
"Now that I have sat on the dragon throne and become the emperor of Qi, I have to do something."
"I want to change the current structure of the court, weaken the royal power, and select and appoint young and available officials. It is absolutely impossible to do nothing and only want to enjoy honor through nepotism!"
