On the day when the little fat man issued an edict that the official position of Zhong Chang Shi would never be established, the whole world celebrated. Almost everyone in the world thought that the era of great rule was about to come.
The little fat man's reputation reached its peak in an instant. In Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places with prosperous culture and prosperity, he was already called the Holy Sage.
In the Han Dynasty, only Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaozhao had the title of Holy Emperor.
However, the little fat man knew in his heart that although he was famous, he could not govern alone. He was only twelve years old this year. If he were this age, he would have to govern with force and arrange his confidants. He was afraid that all the ministers would be dismissed from office.
Playing with young children?
The little fat man knew this, so he didn't do any stupid things like arranging and being arrogant and trying his best to find the capable ministers in the heavenly book to give him official positions. He could only try to worship some obedient, honest and capable ministers, and he also had to compromise with the party members.
, if he directly appoints a few half-hearted men with no reputation at all, the party members will be able to cause trouble in front of Weiyang Palace again.
In September, a yellow dragon appeared in a well in Jiangzhou.
Sikong Hu Guang died.
The funeral arrangements for Dou Wu and others were also arranged. Under the emperor's order, Dou Wu was buried with the rites of a prince. When the corpse was exhumed, although the little fat man did not appear, after it was transported to the side of the imperial mausoleum,
The little fat man even read the eulogy in person to remember this pillar of the country. The little fat man spoke sincerely and wiped his tears to pay homage to this hero of the Han Dynasty, which caused many party members to cry bitterly.
Later, they gave great rewards to Chen Fan and Li Ying's family and gave them generous burials. After these series of things were completed, it was already the end of autumn, heavy snow was about to hit, and the vacancy in the court was extremely serious. The three princes, and even the nine ministers,
There are a lot of vacancies in the ministerial order, Yilang, etc. Dou Wu directly took many party members in important positions to death in one action. Before the end of the year, the official positions must be filled.
When the whole world was mourning Dou Wu and many other party members, there was finally good news, which allowed everyone to relax a little. Duan Jiong, the general who was protecting the Qiang Zhonglang, killed the Shaoqiang in Xiliang until the rats fled, and directly entered the other party.
In the hinterland, they were forced to surrender, and more than 10,000 people were beheaded in one battle. People at the time said: "There has been no war in Liangzhou for ten years, and this is the credit of General Duan."
After hearing this good news, the little fat man naturally smiled from ear to ear. Since he came to the throne, the big man has won many battles, which has strengthened his confidence. I, indeed, have destiny, which also gives the little fat man the chance to win.
He felt that God wanted him to lead this empire to unprecedented prosperity.
He hurriedly ordered Duan Jiong to come back, and the little fat man held another court meeting the next day.
This time, everyone was no longer as unhappy as before. The Han Dynasty had always worshiped military merit, and Duan Jiong's great victory washed away the long-standing sadness among them all at once. The young scholars were full of joy, and even felt sorry for this man.
Duan Ji, who was disgusted by the party members, also had some admiration for him.
And those elders still have that calm look. They rarely lose their composure, and they have far more knowledge and experience than those young party members. Today's party elders include Zhou Jing, Yang Ci, and Xun
Led by Jian, Yuan Ping, Chen Shi and others, these celebrities have extremely high prestige among the party members, and they are not treated like the young party members. Looking at their indifferent appearance, the little fat man may even think that these people
Have you seen something yet?
However, they are just famous celebrities. They are not as powerful as Dou Wu, so naturally they cannot arouse the fear of the little fat man. Compared with Dou Wu, Chen Fan, Hu Guang, Du Mi, Li Ying and others, Aren’t these people so much better?
Before the court meeting began, the little fat man found Empress Dowager Dou. He needed Empress Dowager Dou to attend the court. Otherwise, the entire court would become a court of party members. After all, he had no say, but he was content. After all, he could now Sitting in the temple to govern openly and openly, Empress Dowager Dou was the rope he used to restrain the party members. She was the representative of imperial power. With her around, the party members could not control the court as they pleased.
Empress Dowager Dou sat in the temple, but said nothing, and the ministers did not dare to speak rashly. The little fat man realized that the Empress Dowager intended to let him gradually take power, so he was not afraid, cleared his throat, and said: "I I heard that the emperor governs the country like a chariot, and the three princes and ministers are the ropes of the chariot. Now, I have no ropes and it is difficult to drive, so I invite you to come and discuss it."
This was the first time that the little fat man held a court meeting independently. He spoke for the first time, neither arrogant nor timid, with a loud voice. The party elders who were previously indifferent were also a little surprised. This was the same person who had left everything to the Queen Mother or Dou Wu. The young emperor?
Seeing everyone's surprise, the little fat man deliberately remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You guys don't have any suitable candidates?" He continued with a smile: "I heard that there is a virtuous uncle of mine in Xiao County, Pei State, as a sign of filial piety. He entered the official position with integrity, governed by etiquette and education, had an upright character, and did not want to be attached to the powerful. Together with Huang Gong, Situ Zhonggong and others, he devoted himself to the government and was known as the "virtuous prime minister" in the world."
He did not give the ministers a chance to speak, and hurriedly said these words. Everyone was stunned, and then nodded. Yang Ci stood up and said, "Could it be that the person your Majesty is talking about is the virtuous Prime Minister Liu Ju?"
"It is this man who I intend to worship as Taiwei. What do you think?" the little fat man asked with a smile. This Liu Ju was called a wise prime minister by people at the time. He has sufficient talent and prestige, and , and the most important thing is that he is a distant relative of the Han Dynasty. He is extremely old and poses no threat to the little fat man.
Yuan Ping and Xun Jian looked at each other, frowned, and said nothing. Originally, they had already decided to elect Zhou Jing as Taiwei, Chen Yan as Situ, Zhou Jing as Sikong, and Yang Ci as Sinong. Who knew? , the emperor did not give them time to speak at all, but directly pushed out Liu Ju. Although Liu Ju was also a party member, he was not part of their plan. They fell silent. Many party members were led by them and naturally remained silent.
The little fat man looked very surprised and asked quickly: "Is it true that Liu Juzhi's rumors are wrong? Isn't he worthy of being the Third Lord?"
"That's not the case. It's just that Liu Ju is over sixty years old, so I'm afraid he's not qualified for the job." It was Xun Jian who spoke.
The little fat man waved his little hand and said: "Hey, party members are the pillars of the country. I still think that you can rule the country for me until I am a hundred years old, but why can't you use them?"
"I remember that Mr. Xun is still in his 60th year. Mr. Xun must be like his father."
The Xun Gong the little fat man was talking about was naturally Xun Jian's father Xun Shu. Xun Jian was speechless, so he knelt down and sat aside with his hands clasped in his hands. Yang Ci stood up and said, "This man is great."
With Yang Ci taking the lead, everyone naturally supported him. The little fat man was secretly happy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yuan Ping getting up and said: "Jun Zhou has a reputation as a virtuous man, and he has served the emperor with meritorious service. He can be called Sikong."
The little fat man was not angry at all. He knew that he had no way not to compromise with them. After appointing Liu Ju, Sikong's position could be given up.
The little fat man nodded and suddenly said: "What Yuan Jun said is absolutely true. Moreover, Yuan Jun has a good reputation and is the eldest son of Mr. Yuan. I think Mr. Yuan is qualified to serve as a farmer."
Yuan Ping was shocked. He was young and had no meritorious qualifications. How could he serve as a farmer?
He quickly declined and said: "No, Your Majesty. I am not qualified for this position. I hope your Majesty will take back my life." The little fat man smiled and said, "That's fine. Since Yuan Jun declined, I won't force it."
"I heard that Duke Qiao was famous for arresting Yangchang when he was young. Later he was promoted to be filial and honest. He served successively as Prime Minister of Qi, Grand Administrator of Hanyang, Situ Changshi, General Minister, and General of Liao Dynasty. He defeated Xianbei and Xiongnu in his term, and avoided Goguryeo.
Can such achievements as invading and protecting the country and the people be regarded as a Situ?"
The little fat man said, Yuan Ping was so angry that he couldn't speak. I said I can't be a Situ, so why don't you recommend another Situ?
Who doesn’t know that Qiao Xuan is a gentleman like Zhang Huan who is devoted to the emperor?
They had already made a plan, but it was suddenly destroyed by the little fat man. Moreover, they found that they could not object yet. Qiao Xuan did have prestige and had enough merit. If he hadn't been close to the party members, how could he have been lingering in Jiuqing?
Moreover, he is among the ministers, sitting on his knees opposite him. Is it possible that he should say to his face that he is not suitable?
Amidst everyone's frustration, the court meeting ended. Liu Ju paid homage to Taiwei, Qiao Xuan paid homage to Situ, Zhou Jing paid homage to Sikong, Yang Ci paid homage to Si Nong, and the rest of the party filled the position of Jiuqing. The little fat man also took the opportunity to
Cao Song and other eunuchs crammed in. According to him, the regular servants are all gone, so where are the eunuchs left?
In this way, the little fat man not only appeased the temple, but also put great restrictions on the party members, and everyone was happy.
