Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 361 Eight suggestions, tacit cooperation
When Yuan Chun said this, Feng Yibo was taken aback.

Could it be that she is afraid that she will not have the chance to go to the palace after today?

This move seems to be taking advantage of the fact that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the officials are not easy to refute her, the newly promoted empress dowager, to try to increase my rank and rank as much as possible for me?
It's a pity that she seems to have underestimated the cautiousness of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty towards titles.

It may also be that he overestimated his prestige.

"Please think twice, Queen Mother!"

"General Feng saved the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty in a difficult situation. We can understand his feelings, but it's not good to break the rules!"

"Taizu's group training is not for the achievement of opening up the territory, and he is not allowed to be the Duke of the country!"

As soon as Yuan Chun's words came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were full of enthusiasm, and they stepped forward to persuade them.

Even the founder of the country, which should have supported her, expressed dissatisfaction.

This actually makes sense.

The reason why the Duke is honorable is not only because of the emperor's imperial seal.

As the saying goes: You need to be hard to strike iron.

If you can seal the Duke of the country by saving him, that would be an insult to the word "Duke of the State"!

Not to mention others, even Li Shouzhong stood up.

"I ask the queen mother to take back her order!"

He bowed to Bi Dan, smiled wryly and said:
"I understand that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty were rescued by General Feng. This move is a gesture of gratitude and recognition to General Feng. I also understand that the Queen Mother wants to reward you generously. But everything is too late. The position of Duke cannot be taken lightly!"

It is rare for the king of Beijing County to make a sound, and he also came to pay his respects to Majesty Dan at this time, and his warm voice sounded.

"At the beginning, the Duke of Shihou's family was only made a marquis in order to save his life. Now, although General Feng's contribution is not inferior to Shihou's, but..."

His words sounded euphemistic, but anyone could hear the meaning behind them.

Shi Xiangyun's father, Shi Nai, died trying to save him, and he was just a marquis.

Although Feng Yibo also rescued him, is he still there?

The founding of the country made a sound, and the new nobles were not idle.

Bai Jiajin also stepped forward at this time, and echoed:

"That's right! Apart from the eight founders of the country, there is only one who was granted the title of Duke Qing during Taizong's time. Please think again, Queen Mother!"

Duke Qing and Jia Daishan, the second Duke of Rong, were contemporaries, and they also received imperial titles together.

If it is said that Jia Daishan followed Rong Guogong, not only because of his merits, but also because of his ancestral face.

There is also a bit of grace.

The merits of Duke Qing are the real deal.

At the end of the Great Wei Taizu and the early Taizong, the Great Wei was these two people who further expanded the territory on the basis of the original.

Not only Hetao but also the Liaodong area were all brought back to the Great Wei.

The Tatars were also driven away from the Mobei area.

It's a pity that with the death of Duke Rong, Duke Qing closed his doors and did not interfere with political affairs.

Over the past few decades, the Tatar tribes have gradually regained their vitality.

This matter was actually not in Feng Yibo's plan, so when he saw that something was impossible, he hurried forward and said:

"Thank you, Queen Mother and Your Majesty, for your favor! The matter of rescuing him is just at the right time. I believe that no one in the Manchu Dynasty, civil and military, would stand still in such a situation. This is the duty of a minister. How dare you covet the position of Duke?"

Seeing that he also stepped forward to reject him, Yuan Chun waved his hands resentfully, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Since that's the case, then according to what you said, change the title to the Marquis of Chu!"

When did we say that we can seal the country?

As soon as these words came out, all the officials who had just opposed looked at each other in blank dismay.

It seems that the king of Beijing County said that the historian made him a marquis?

But that's not a prince!

As the name suggests, a Marquis is a Marquis who has a feudal country.

Compared with county lords, township lords, and Ting hous, such lords.

The Marquis of the Kingdom is another level higher!
Even though the current titles of the Great Wei Dynasty are all vain titles, and the princes of the country have not been granted a country, they are just food towns compared to the princes of Liehou.

But the problem is, the Duke has not closed the country anymore!
For a prince without a fief, his food and status are only inferior to that of a prince, but he is much better than a lieutenant.

"This……"

"The Marquis..."

"The queen mother still thinks about it..."

The hundred officials who objected just now were a little hesitant, considering their own words.

After all, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was a bit embarrassing for them to oppose the queen mother one after another.

But the duke and duke are almost the same, and they have to object.

"Could it be that General Feng saved our mother and son, even a marquis is not worth it?"

Yuan Chun didn't give them another chance to refute, so he immediately put down his face and said:
"Today, this Palace will pass on the order on behalf of His Majesty, that Feng Yuan, the hereditary second-class general of Zhenhai, will be proclaimed Marquis of Chu!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her back and glanced at Xiao Xuanzhi, who was restless on the dragon chair, with a rare sly look on her face.

She was born in the duke's mansion, how could she not know the importance of the duke?

The reason why a Duke was thrown out first was to make Feng Yibo a Marquis logically.

This is not the second best thing, but it has been planned long ago!

After all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, if all the officials object one after another, it may hurt the emperor's face.

I can't help in other places. Now that my son is the emperor, why don't you fight for a higher title for his father?
Even as soon as she went to court, she was regarded by all officials as a woman who could play tricks.

Yuan Chun didn't care either.

The matter has come to this point, and the officials who just objected can't make a sound anymore.

Yuan Chun saw that everyone was silent, so he struck while the iron was hot.

In the hall, he ordered the officials of the servant class to draw up the decree, and added the emperor's seal on behalf of Xiao Xuanzhi.

The officials in the attendant class wrote it quickly, and the first imperial edict of Emperor Xuanzhi was freshly released.

Yuan Chun nodded in satisfaction after reading it, and handed it to the waiter to read it out.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: the hereditary second-class general, Feng Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, killed the rebellious head who assassinated the first emperor, saved your majesty and the empress dowager from fire and water, and specially conferred the title of Marquis of Chu to honor his heinous achievements! !"

Feng Yibo already understood Yuan Chun's meaning at this time, and at the same time he couldn't laugh or cry, he could only go forward to thank him.

"I thank you, Feng Yuan, for your grace!"

If it weren't for Yuan Chun's nonsense, even if he saved him, he would be a township at most.

Even the township lords and civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would give a few words of advice.

In the end, there is a high probability that he will be a first-class general.

After Yuan Chun fought regardless of face, he was promoted to the title of Super Grade.

This warmed Feng Yibo's heart, but also made him a little worried about his plan.

"The Marquis of Chu, please stand up!"

Yuan Chun raised his hand to help, then sighed:
"After this incident, our mother and son have no one to trust except the Marquis of Chu."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the few ministers who had just opposed the royal title, all smiled wryly.

Although these words sounded like they were talking about rescue?
But who here is not a human being?

Naturally, he understood that Yuan Chun was holding a grudge, and what he meant was that they just refuted the empress dowager's face.

This is for them to listen to!

If we dare to stop you from making you a duke, you are not trustworthy?
This is really in line with the sentence: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
Saints really do not deceive me!

If we say that this beating just made all the civil and military officers laugh bitterly.

What Yuan Chun said next changed the expressions of all the officials!

"Your Majesty is too young to be in charge, so there must be a few trustworthy officials to handle state affairs on his behalf."

While talking, Yuan Chun swept the civil and military affairs of the court.

All the officials understood that it was a rule to choose a minister for the auxiliary government.

Today, there are only a few who are qualified to be assistant ministers.

Zhang Songyue is seriously ill, I'm afraid it won't work.

Although Chen Qinzhi hasn't come back yet, as the emperor's teacher of the previous generation and the second assistant of the cabinet, he basically didn't run away.

If Prince Zhongshun was still there, he would count as one.

Except for these three, it belongs to the six ministers and the king of Beijing County.

As for the rest, they are not qualified enough.

But at this time, Yuan Chun continued:

"So, today, my palace still wants to worship the Marquis of Chu as the Taibao, as the assistant minister, to act on behalf of my palace and the emperor...and supervise the government with His Majesty, how about it?"

How could this Feng Yuan and He De be the assistant minister?
Both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stupefied.

"Please also ask the queen mother to take back her order!"

This time, there is no need for others to criticize.

Feng Yibo himself took the lead to go out, paid his respects in front of Majesty Dan, and hurriedly said:

"It's only because His Majesty is young that the rebellious head has moved his mind. Since the lord is young and suspicious of the country, he must have a mature and prudent person to assist the government. How can I do it?"

You do have self-knowledge!
We can also save a lot of things, so as not to offend the Queen Mother again.

Feng Yibo's words touched the hearts of the officials.

But when Yuanchun heard it, he took up the posture just now and said:

"But this palace and His Majesty only believe in you, we mother and I can't trust anyone else!"

Knowing that this is Yuan Chun's intentional appearance, not her true nature.

Feng Yibo couldn't help laughing.

However, he did not forget to cooperate.

Just listen to him full of tangled words:
"Actually, I have a suggestion..."

"I have the guts to ask the Empress Dowager to place a beaded curtain behind the Dragon Seat in the Taiji Hall. When the new emperor comes to court, the Empress Dowager will assist His Majesty behind. In this way, with the Empress Dowager personally guarding her, I won't be afraid that Your Majesty will be deceived by others, and I can..."

Before he could finish his words, the officer of Ke Dao stepped forward to pay respects to Bi Dan, and said loudly:
"Bold! Thanks to Feng... Thanks to the Marquis of Chu who is still the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he dared to make such a suggestion. Although the empress is noble, she is a woman after all. Today's new emperor's ascension to the throne is just a special case. How can women be allowed to enter the court again and again! "

What he said was so blunt that he almost said, "How can a rooster start the morning".

The affairs in the court have always had nothing to do with other things.

Only interest is the eternal theme.

Therefore, no matter how absurd something is, as long as there are interests, there must be some people who oppose it and some people who support it.

When Jianguo Yimai listened to Feng Yibo's suggestion, he was overjoyed.

If Yuan Chun personally assisted the government, then the benefits would not be too great for the old relatives of the founding family!
As soon as the Ke Dao speaker finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward to refute.

"It's normal for the Queen Mother and His Majesty to not dare to trust others after the incident of rebellion. Your Majesty is still young and cannot be separated from the Queen Mother. It is a last resort to let the Queen Mother and her elders temporarily assist the government. Otherwise, Your Majesty will not be accompanied by his mother. How do you talk about things?"

Emperor Xuanzhi was full of plans, but he was only three years old.

How can you be honest without your mother at this age?

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately echoed:

"Exactly! Although there is no such thing as an old rule in this dynasty, there is a rule to follow in the former Song Dynasty! Do you want to deceive the saints by blocking it like this, and expect His Majesty to be young?"

This is someone who knows how to buckle a hat!
"you!"

The Ke Dao speaker was immediately annoyed.

But before he could say anything else, Yuan Chun sighed and said:
"Actually, as a woman, I really shouldn't go to court, but your majesty is young, if you leave me, you will inevitably cry, why don't I take charge of coaxing your majesty, so as not to delay the state affairs."

Obviously, this is a retreat.

It is said that it is only responsible for coaxing the children, but in fact it is still assisting the government.

As long as she is in the court for a day, as long as she speaks in her capacity, all the officials will inevitably have to think about it.

"Besides, once the cabinet should assist in handling state affairs, when His Majesty grows older, I will not show up again, how about it?"

When the civil and military officials heard the words, although they were inevitably entangled, they couldn't find a better way for a while.

Who made the emperor so young that he was still breastfeeding.

If you don't let him follow his mother, it's better not to let him go to court.

"This……"

The Kodao speaker who came out first was at a loss for words, Yuan Chun made a decisive decision:
"Let's settle this matter first!"

Saying that, he got up and saluted all the officials, saying:
"If there is anything wrong with our mothers in the future, please forgive me."

Good guy!
He also said that he would not participate in government affairs, so he started to be vaccinated?

Seeing this, Feng Yibo breathed a sigh of relief.

He just felt that Yuan Chun's fight for the title for him was a bit reckless.

Doing so can easily cause a backlash from officials and affect his plan to "listen to politics behind the curtain".

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chun was much smarter than he thought.

Not only won a higher title for him, but also set up a somewhat messy personality.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had no leader, there were only a handful of courtiers who could fight her nonsense.

Even if there is, it will not be entangled with a woman.

This is the cleverness of Yuanchun.

"I would like to report to the Empress Dowager that Zhang Ge, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is old and seriously ill. I am afraid that he will not be able to manage the government. I also ask the Empress Dowager to select important ministers to join the cabinet so that she can assist Your Majesty in handling state affairs."

The matter of "listening behind the curtain" was cleverly resolved by Yuan Chun by "taking retreat as an advance".

Feng Yibo immediately stepped forward according to the plan, and said:
"In addition, Mr. Chen Ge is still recovering from his illness in the Daming Mansion. He needs to be visited as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no leader in the court, and His Majesty is young. The state affairs cannot be delayed like this!"

One emperor and one courtier, this is the same truth through the ages.

When all the officials heard that the cabinet ministers were involved, they immediately pricked up their ears.

As for the matter of "listening behind the curtain", it is naturally left behind for the time being.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said:
"Since the chief assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet are all sick, then choose a mature and prudent person to assist."

Zhang Songyue fell, but the New Party was still there.

Since a new cabinet is involved, members of the new party cannot sit idly by.

"Mr. Zhang Ge is seriously ill. It is true that he can no longer go to court, but Mr. Chen Ge is recuperating in the Daming Mansion, and he will return in a few days. At that time, he will be invited to sit in the cabinet."

If we say that the previous cabinet was mainly assisting the emperor behind his back.

If it weren't for Zhang Songyue being the emperor's teacher, the new party might not be able to reach this level.

But now, the new emperor is too young to be in charge.

The newly formed cabinet has great power in its hands!

Although Chen Qinzhi is not a member of the New Party, the New Party also regards him as one of its own.

Apart from him, no one is more suitable, and no one can take over the position of Zhang Songyue's chief assistant.

And, the new party leader!
This time, Yuan Chun didn't mess around, but said kindly:

"According to what you said, it is tentatively decided that Mr. Chen Ge will be in charge of the cabinet. As for the second assistant, it is better to let the Minister of Rites take over as usual."

Although it seemed reasonable, it still carried private goods.

As usual, Li Shouzhong should be added to the cabinet,

Ke took over the position of Cifu as soon as he entered the cabinet, which was obviously Yuan Chun's intention.

Not only that, Yuan Chun also took advantage of the trend and said:
"I also heard that Xia Ge is old and weak. It is better to go to Jinling to take up the post first. It will be closer to my home so that no one will take care of me in the capital. The former Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing was transferred to the capital, and the current Minister of the Ministry of War will join the cabinet to assist the government."

Speaking of this, she looked at Baiguan with a smile on her face, but she said unquestionably:

"You have no objection to the arrangement of the four assistant ministers, right?"

What came to Yuan Chun's mind at this time was the second point that Feng Yibo explained earlier.
