Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

"Second point, the new emperor's ascension to the throne is inevitable, but after all he is still young.

The so-called: The master is suspicious of the country, the minister is not attached, and the people do not believe it.

Therefore, the first thing after ascending to the throne must be to appoint an assistant minister to handle state affairs on his behalf.

At that time, I will take the opportunity in the court to ask you to listen to the government behind the curtain.

As long as we grasp the fact that the new emperor is young and inseparable from his mother, it should not be difficult.

At critical moments, you might as well let him cry.

The real difficulty is that the position of assistant minister cannot be granted lightly.

Before appointing the auxiliary ministers, the cabinet must be reorganized first.

My suggestion is that my mentor Li Shouzhong can be the second assistant, and Jia Hua, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also eligible to join the cabinet.

At that time, half of the cabinet will be controllable, plus yourself, to avoid power overhead.

At the same time, you have to show an attitude to the officials.

That is to invite Chen Qinzhi to come back to preside over the overall situation. Only in this way can the forces of all parties be balanced.

In particular, let the leaderless new party feel at ease for the time being. "

These are the second points that Feng Yibo explained earlier.

The two sang together and reached an agreement to listen to politics behind the curtain.

Yuanchun struck while the iron was hot, and implemented the proposal to reorganize the cabinet.

The three people who were named had different reactions when they heard the news.

When Li Shouzhong heard that he joined the cabinet, he directly became the second assistant.

His first reaction was to look at Feng Yibo.

If he just entered the cabinet as usual, it would be a matter of course in his capacity as Minister of Rites.

But as soon as he entered the cabinet, he became the second assistant directly, and it was probably the apprentice's handwriting.

Most likely, after saving the queen mother, he mentioned this matter to her.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects to Bi Dan:

"Veteran Li Shouzhong, I'm really terrified!"

"Li Shangshu doesn't have to be like this!"

Yuan Chun raised his hand to help, and said directly:

"The late emperor left so suddenly. Your majesty is still young. Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Chen Ge are both seriously ill. Now Wei needs the help of a respected and respected official like you. For the sake of the late emperor, don't refuse!"

The late emperors have all been shown, and it is obvious that Yuanchun will change if he is afraid of being late.

Hearing this, Li Shouzhong didn't make any three requests and three concessions.

At this time, he can only do his part.

"The Empress Dowager and His Majesty trust so much, it is really wrong for the old minister to push back and forth again and again, so I can only do my best in the future to live up to the entrustment of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty!"

Yuan Chun nodded in satisfaction, smiled and said:
"Then I will have to take care of Mr. Lige a lot!"

Here, just one request and one concession, the process of joining the cabinet is over.

On the other hand, Xia Ling, who was "aged and infirm", felt uncomfortable.

Everyone understands that "one emperor and one courtier".

Especially him, the old minister of the hidden mansion, Emperor Jingshun's hardcore.

Once the new emperor ascends the throne, he must be the first to dismiss him.

But even though he was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little bit reluctant.

As soon as Li Shouzhong retreated, he went out to bow and said gratefully:

"Chen Xialing, thank you Empress Dowager for your compassion!"

If you don't want to give up, you still have to thank you.

Going to Nanjing to provide for the elderly has already given him dignity.

Yuan Chun just glanced at him, nodded and stopped talking.

Unlike him, it was Jia Yucun.

Before he came out, he glanced at Feng Yibo without a trace.

After that, he didn't make any excuses, he bowed to Bi Dan, and said simply and neatly:

"Since the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty trust me, Chen Jiahua will definitely do his best!"

Others may not have realized it yet, but Jia Yucun is well aware of Feng Yibo's planning ability.

Li Shouzhong directly became the second assistant, and he joined the cabinet immediately after.

Such an operation shows the control of the court.

This is by no means a temporary uprising.

Jia Yucun guessed that this must have been planned by someone behind the scenes.

On the surface, both he and Li Shouzhong were related to Rongfu.

In order to stabilize the status of the new emperor, Yuan Chun will inevitably use them as well-connected and capable courtiers.

But he still doesn't believe that Yuan Chun, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, can think of it in a short time.

This must have been pointed out by an expert behind Yuan Chun.

Otherwise, normally speaking, it is very likely that Wang Jue will oversee the country.

The leader of the newly promoted nobles, Prince Zhongshun, is dead.

The king of Beijing County, who was the founder of the country, can barely supervise the country.

This is the most likely thinking of Yuan Chun, who was born in the same line of four kings and eight princes.

Now Yuan Chun is uncharacteristically, not mentioning those old relatives at all, but wants the cabinet to assist the government.

Then, following the line of thought of someone behind her...

Don't make the person behind this too obvious!
In the court hall just now, it was Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun who sang together.

Obviously, Feng Yibo won Yuan Chun's trust by rescuing him.

This is the beginning of the layout on the court.

Last time, there was some quarrel between Jia Yucun and Feng Yibo because of the terms of the peace negotiation.

But as a mature politician, that matter is not worth mentioning at all.

It's just that while Jia Yucun was delighted to join the cabinet, he also knew that he had to choose a new camp.

I just don't know, this time it is someone from the founding line.

It was the same Chu Guohou who had just rescued him and was at the height of his power.

Ready to start all over again, weaving party members.

Anyway, if he pulled himself a hand.

Then I have to reciprocate according to the actual situation and give some responses.

"There's no need to be too polite, we mothers and I will also rely on Elder Jia Ge a lot in the future."

Jia Yucun had to listen to what Yuan Chun said.

He was replaced by Xia Ling, and he would naturally be an empty boss in the future.

An empty elder is also an elder, but his political stance must be consistent with that of the emperor.

But the rest of the power is not bad at all.

For someone like him who has no political purpose and only pursues higher power and interests.

It doesn't matter whether you are short or not, it's the elders who matter!

In order to recover, he can unite with the Jia family.

In order to ascend to the position of Shangshu, he can rely on Wang Ziteng and Jianguo's lineage.

In order to keep the position of Shangshu, he can also secretly join the new party.

Then, in order to keep his position as a cabinet minister, he would naturally be willing to be an empty cabinet elder.

Sometimes, employing people is like this.

You don't have to use good people, but you must use the right people.

If you want to find someone who is obedient, then don't use a gentleman who values ​​justice over profit.

Otherwise, isn't that just asking for trouble for yourself?

A person like Jia Yucun is neither a traitor nor a loyal minister.

He is a pure politician who puts interests first.

It was precisely after Feng Yibo saw through this point that he chose to help him into the cabinet.

In any case, let's control the cabinet first.

As for other things, he can think about everything after the situation stabilizes.

Here, the officials have not yet digested the series of changes in the court situation.

On the other side, Yuan Chun spoke again.

"This time the Emperor Daxing was assassinated, and the Beijing Camp was also to blame. I thought that the commander of the Beijing Camp should also be replaced."

Having said that, she scanned the audience and asked:
"I wonder if any of you ministers have a suitable candidate?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they understood that the new emperor wanted to take back the military power of the Beijing camp.

After all, many positions in Jingying have been controlled by the new nobles before.

Now the leader of the new nobles, Prince Zhongshun conspired against him.

It is also reasonable to take back the military power of the Beijing camp.

For a time, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty naturally had no objection.

However, the founding lineage and the new nobles immediately began to compete.

The King of Beijing County did his part, stepped forward and said:

"I recommend Xie Kun, the second-class hereditary son of the Marquis of Dingcheng and a guerrilla in the capital camp. He has been in the capital camp for many years, is familiar with the situation, and has a noble, so he is the most suitable!"

The Marquis of Dingcheng is also from the founding line, and he is very close to the King of Beijing County.

There is a high probability that there is no chance for Xingui, but there are also some people who are unwilling to come forward and pay homage:

"I recommend Bai Jiajun, the Jiedu envoy of Huizhou. This person has been very effective in suppressing bandits in Huizhou. Now that the bandits in Shandong and Shandong are in dire straits, it is better to let him lead the Beijing camp, so as to avenge the late emperor as soon as possible!"

Bai Jiajun is the elder brother of Bai Jiajin, the Minister of War.

The upstart obviously wanted to avenge Emperor Jingshun by exterminating the horse bandits.

Even though, there is a high probability that this recommendation will not pass.

These words can be regarded as an expression of attitude.

In fact, they are saying that they have nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun's assassination of the king.

"That's a bad word!"

It's a pity that the founding party will not let go of such an opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

The grandson of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, Chen Ruiwen, the hereditary general of Wei Town of the third rank, stepped forward a few steps, bowed to Majesty Dan, and said with a smile:

"Ni Shou has already been punished, and the Shandong horse bandits have lost the support of N S Shou, but it's nothing more than a small disease, as long as a few nearby guards are mobilized to encircle and suppress, why use the Beijing camp?"

He has suffered a lot from the newly promoted nobles before, so what are you waiting for if he doesn't come out and make trouble?
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Liang, the grandson of Marquis Jing Tian, ​​stepped forward a few steps, and after bowing, he echoed:

"General Xie is right! What's more, if the Beijing camp is transferred out, how will the emptiness in the capital be filled?"

Speaking of this, he also said with a half-smile:
"Could it be that you have something to do with Nishou?"

Those words are murderous.

How many of the newly promoted nobles have nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun?
It stands to reason that these words cannot be put on the table before the investigation.

It's just that before the founding of the country, they were so suppressed that they couldn't hold their heads up. Now that the son of the eldest daughter of the Jia family has become the emperor, these old relatives are also honored.

Many people feel that the founding branch is about to stand up again.

So now when I speak, I have much less scruples.

"It's unreasonable! You are spitting blood!"

"My son is Captain Long, and he was also killed by Nishou. He almost killed our family!"

"That's right! The relationship between us and Nishou is that we are officials in the same dynasty and honored in the same position. Why are you not?"

"..."

The new Jin Xungui glared angrily, and stepped forward to confront each other.

For a while, the two sides quarreled endlessly.

"Wow! Mother! Whoooooooooooooooo!"

At this moment, Emperor Xuanzhi on the dragon chair seemed to be frightened, suddenly staggered a few steps, hugged Yuanchun's thigh and cried.

At this moment, Manchu Wenwu was dumbfounded.

The founding lineage and the new nobles collectively turned off their flames, and they all looked at the little emperor crying in a little helplessness.

The ministers who were planning to "listen to the government behind the curtain" just now have all put out their thoughts of admonishing them.

Without him, such a child would really be inseparable from his mother's arms.

Yuan Chun hugged Emperor Xuanzhi, coaxed and persuaded him for a long time before finally he stopped crying.

But a new problem came again. Emperor Xuanzhi fell asleep in Yuanchun's arms.

She whispered to the servant beside her:
"Go get a blanket and call Baoqin."

This time, Manchu civil and military could only look at each other, not knowing whether to continue or not.

When they were at a loss, a figure stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"Qizou Queen Mother, I have a suggestion."

Yuan Chun patted Emperor Xuanzhi again and again, while holding back a smile, he said:

"Be good, Marquis of Chu, but it's okay to say."

Although he knew that Kuaiguai was coaxing the children, the bosses in the front row still felt a little awkward when they heard it.

Moreover, Yuan Chun didn't make too much noise because he was afraid of waking up the child.

The two of them seemed to be doing some shady business, and they spoke cautiously.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded.

"Before the matter of rebelling against the leader is thoroughly investigated, it is best to transfer people back from other places."

Feng Yibo continued to lower his voice, and said:

"When I was suppressing the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River, I once cooperated with one person. This person is skilled in military affairs, decent, and has made countless contributions."

Yuan Chun shook the child again and again, asking:
"Ooooh! Who is it? Ooooh!"

The "ohhhhh" before and after are naturally coaxing the child to sleep.

The real problem is mixed in and it seems so nondescript.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while, but they were also full of worries about being able to go to court in the future.

After Yuan Chun asked, he walked to the dragon chair, gently put Emperor Xuanzhi down, and covered him with the blanket that was just delivered.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original position.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo also heaved a sigh of relief, but still lowered his voice and said:
"This person's surname is Liu Mingzhao, and he is currently serving as a commander in Quanzhou Wei."

Yuan Chun acted as if he was in a hurry to leave. Hearing this, he nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, according to what the Marquis of Chu said, transfer this Liu Zhao to Beijing to take over the post of Jingying Jiedushi!"

The officials in the back could hardly hear the conversation here, but the bosses in the front row could hear it clearly.

The king of Beijing County originally thought that this position must belong to the founding of the country, and he was a little anxious when he heard this.

"The Beijing camp has a lot to do with it, how can you easily appoint an outsider?"

His voice was not suppressed, it was a little louder.

Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun frowned almost at the same time, and put their index fingers on their mouths.

"Shh!"

Yuan Chun also looked back at Emperor Xuan Zhi, and was relieved to see that he hadn't been woken up.

However, he still gave Prince Beijing a dissatisfied look.

The king of Beijing County was inevitably a little embarrassed for a while, but after swallowing his saliva, he still wanted to continue fighting.

At this time, Jia Yucun stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"The Ministry of War has seen Liu Zhao's achievements for all to see, and I agree with the proposal of the Marquis of Chu."

Yuan Chun glanced at him slightly in surprise, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Jia Ge has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and he knows the affairs of these military officers like the palm of his hand. Since Mr. Jia thinks it is feasible, then this matter is settled."

King Beijing looked at Yuanchun in disbelief.

It's a pity that even if he was puzzled in every possible way, he knew that Yuan Chun's mind had been made up to this point.

It's useless to say anything now.

At that moment, he turned his head and took a deep look at Jia Zheng and his family members.

Then he flicked his sleeves and returned to the queue.

A few senior members of the Jia family were here today, but they were dumbfounded by the King of Beijing County.

Because they have no idea what's going on ahead.

At this moment, Yuan Chun's mind was filled with the third thing Feng Yibo explained.

"Third, the Beijing camp is of great importance, and the Jiedushi must be replaced by our own people.

The assassination of the first emperor was done by Prince Zhongshun. Before finding out who was involved in this matter, the new Jin Xungui does not need to think about it.

And recently, many Lao Xun, including Prince Beijing, have been involved with Prince Zhongshun.

Before the investigation, everyone in the capital was suspected of participating in it.

If the employment is improper, some people will inevitably jump over the wall if something is found out in the future.

We must avoid such risks.

Therefore, it is best to recruit those own people whose factions are not clear and who are still obedient.

At that time, I will recommend Liu Zhao, the commander of the Quanzhou Guard, who has an old relationship with me. "
