Chapter 299 Everyone has their own plans(1/2)
When the capital's familiar notes were delivered to the palace, Zhao Xu was accompanying the two palaces and returning from an inspection of Qingshou Palace.
The Qingshou Palace project has been basically completed.
The Queen Mother can probably move in before the New Year.
On the Queen Mother's side, the renovation of Baoci Palace will begin immediately.
After the two palaces read the familiar situation, they thought about it to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Mother, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion should be Sixth Brother's family affairs. It is better to let Sixth Brother handle the matters related to Kaifeng Mansion in the future.
Bar?"
The Queen Mother naturally knew what the Queen Mother meant - they had discussed it privately in the past few days.
Kaifeng Mansion, since the time of Taizu, has been the place where princes manage government affairs and study when they reach adulthood.
Taizong and Zhenmiao were both Yin of Kaifeng. They thought they were close to the people and personally handled matters inside and outside Kaifeng, accumulating experience and team members.
However, after Zhenmiao, there was no adult crown prince anymore - Renmiao was only thirteen years old before he ascended the throne and was unable to handle government affairs. Yingmiao and the late emperor both hurriedly appointed the crown prince before they ascended the throne.
Today's situation is similar to that of Renmiao, where the emperor was young and rushed, but there are differences.
Today's officials have won the respect and trust of both the government and the public through their performance in the past six months since they took office.
No one doubts the level of government affairs of this young emperor.
Therefore, leaving matters related to Kaifeng Mansion completely to his disposal is a good thing for both palaces!
First, it can express to the government and the public that the emperor has returned to power when he comes of age.
Lest some people down there gossip, even doubt, speculate, or even use this to drive a wedge between the heavenly family in the future!
The second is to hand over the Kaifeng Mansion to him, so that he can gradually become familiar with the state affairs, and slowly accumulate a group of trusted officials and team, so that when he takes charge of the government in the future, he can use his trusted ministers as soon as possible.
We don't have to start from scratch like Yingmiao and the late emperor.
So much so that some ministers dared to say bluntly in front of the king: I can handle the matter of Yi and Huo!
The third is that even if something goes wrong, the harm will only be in Kaifeng Mansion and can be corrected in time.
These principles have already been hinted to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
The people around the Empress Dowager, especially the ladies of the Gao family, also said a few words in front of her.
Therefore, the Queen Mother just smiled and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very suitable for me!"
Then he looked at Zhao Xu and said: "From now on, in Kaifeng Mansion, all matters, big or small, will be reported to the officials first and let them make decisions. If the officials are unsure, they will discuss it with me and the Queen Mother later... The officials feel
May I?"
Zhao Xu immediately stood up, thanked him and said: "Sun Chen respectfully obeys the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law is kind and kind!"
Both palaces laughed.
He smiled happily at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager's laughter was somewhat bitter.
She knew it and understood it in her heart.
As this grandson gets older, he behaves more and more maturely.
The hearts of people in both the government and the public have gradually returned to the country.
A few days ago, on the official festival, the relatives and subordinates of the Imperial City Division came to congratulate him one after another.
The palace commander Yanda, the deputy commander of the Ma Infantry Army Miao Shuo, and the commanders of the bodyguards also sent congratulations.
Even as far away as Yanzhou, Liu Changzuo, the governor of Yanzhou Road, Yao Si, the military commander of Jingyuan Road, Wang Wenyu, the military commander of Xihe Road, etc., all came forward one after another to express their congratulations.
This means that the emperor’s wings are full!
The military spirit is attached!
As for the scholar-bureaucrats?
The Empress Dowager knew that even those scholars in the opposition had long been praising the virtuous, intelligent, benevolent and filial officials.
The only thing that pleased the Queen Mother was that her grandson was really filial.
For many things, even if she didn't ask, the other party would take the initiative to report and ask for instructions. Only after asking her and the Queen Mother did they actually issue an edict.
This kind of detail processing really made her feel comfortable and respected.
as expected!
Just listen to the official saying: "However, Sun Chen is young, and I am afraid that for many important matters in the Kaifeng Mansion, I have to ask my mother-in-law and queen mother to protect, support, teach and guide me!"
The Empress Dowager finally smiled happily and said: "If the official family has something to do in the future, you can directly come to discuss it with your mother-in-law and the Empress Dowager!"
The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded.
Therefore, the two palaces immediately took Zhao Xu to the Jiying Hall and summoned Hanlin scholar Deng Runfu to accept the order.
Deng Runfu was ordered to draw up the imperial edict. The emperor was known to be intelligent and capable, and the story of his ancestors was known as the prince and Kaifeng shepherd.
There is nothing better than letting the emperor start from Kaifeng Mansion.
He ordered Quan to know Cai Jing of Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Shiliang, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Hu Ji, the recommendation officer of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Son of Heaven.
At the same time, Yan Chen, commanded by Yulong Zuozhi, Di Yong, commanded by Yulong Guduozhi, and others were ordered to be the emperor's royal envoys.
According to the edict, spring will begin next year, and after the weather warms up, the emperor will visit Kaifeng Mansion on the fifth day to inspect the government.
In other words, after the spring of next year, Zhao Xu can leave the palace every five days and inspect the Kaifeng mansion.
Maybe, you can even decide some cases yourself - this is the tradition of Zhao officials.
At that time, Taizong adjudicated a case of throwing a pig by a commoner, and also handled many cases personally, while Zhenmiao adjudicated several property disputes.
Of course, these cases are actually carefully selected cases with strong political implications. To put it simply, they are just for show.
…
The edict was quickly drafted and sent to the capital.
After seeing the edict, the governors in the capital immediately went to court and unanimously praised the kindness of the two palaces.
After the news spread, in Bianjing City, the ministers who had already written the memorials to the emperor to personally take charge of the government quietly hid the memorials they had written.
Both palaces have already been dealt with by the emperor himself in Kaifeng Mansion.
If they submit a letter at this time and request the emperor to take charge of the government, in the eyes of outsiders, they will alienate the heavenly family.
As for Kaifeng Mansion?
Cai Jing and others were stunned at first when they learned about this.
Immediately, let’s celebrate together!
Cai Jing even ran directly back to the inner house of the government office, locked himself in the study room first, covered his face with his sleeves, and started breathing heavily in his chest.
After barely calming down, he put down his sleeves.
Then, he began to write a memorial to praise the wise decisions of the two palace merciful saints.
What kind of women are Yao and Shun, the Song Dynasty is too similar, too Ren, the wise queen of the ages...
In short, it’s just flattery!
After finishing writing the memorial, Cai Jing put it in his sleeve, then slowly walked out of the study, then summoned the whole family and announced his decision to start moving immediately!
The emperor wanted to personally handle all matters in Kaifeng Mansion.
Naturally, Kaifeng Mansion is no longer the domain of ministers.
It is the place where the emperor's chariot is located and the dragon's chariot comes.
The ministers cannot and cannot live in Kaifeng Fuyamen anymore, otherwise they will be overstepping their bounds!
Finding a place to move out quickly is what I should do.
After finishing this matter, Cai Jing walked out of the government office.
…
Cai Jing can still be calm and hold back.
Other officials in Kaifeng Mansion are already going crazy!
Hu Ji, Li Shiliang, Fan Xun and others were even in the government office and no longer even thought about doing anything.
Their minds are buzzing. Countless thoughts are constantly emerging, and countless thoughts are swaying back and forth. They can't calm down at all! They have no energy to do anything anymore.
When I look down at it, the words seem to have been distorted.
There are only four words on the paper: The emperor is close to you!
Officials are close to the Kaifeng Prefecture to supervise the government. Aren't they, the officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture, close ministers of the Emperor?
And what kind of treatment will the emperor's ministers receive in the future?
All fools know!
You can be promoted to the waiting list even with your eyes closed! Three provinces and two prefectures may not be impossible to count on!
To be continued...
