After Wang Hai took the food box back, he asked the maid to take it into the house. Nothing happened.
A quarter of an hour later, the maid delivered the empty food box, and nothing happened.
Wang Hai squatted at the door of the small courtyard. Nothing happened the whole night, and he couldn't hear any movement.
Brother Hai at the entrance of the courtyard felt bored and at a loss as he could no longer study.
A servant, a follower, should not study. It is not written into the law, but it is a convention. There is no reason, but everyone must abide by it.
It's like an ordinary person who becomes a businessman and has no background. It doesn't matter. He can't become the richest man in Beijing because he is just an ordinary person. Even if he tries to be smart, strives and works hard, he still can't become the richest man. It's not the law. Agree, but disagree with something more terrible than the law.
Early the next morning, nothing happened. At noon, nothing happened. In the afternoon, nothing happened.
Brother Hai has not read for a whole day and night, and his calm face gradually became irritable.
Zhao Feiyu stayed in the house the whole day, eating, drinking, and eating. He didn't know whether it was because he had lost his appearance and didn't want to see anyone or for other reasons.
Han You slept late last night, and for the sake of a man's dignity, he really tried his best to suck milk.
As a result, Zhongsun Wushuang and Wu Mingyue went to the back mountain to collect herbs early in the morning. Han You only got up at noon, took a shower, had a meal, and rode back to the city on horses Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui. Palace.
Han You thought about it last night, thinking that something was wrong and Zhao Feiyu should not be left in the villa.
All the way into the city and into the palace, when Han You arrived at Jingzhi Hall, Boss Zhou was eating, soaking naan bread in chicken soup and squatting next to the desk to show off.
Han You was not surprised at all. Boss Zhou was very frugal. Naan bread soaked in chicken soup was very rich for ordinary people. Chicken was only eaten during festivals. For the emperor, it was a bit too shabby.
"You still have the nerve to come."
Boss Zhou drank up the chicken soup in the big bowl, wiped his mouth and cursed: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused for me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Han You saluted, and then asked angrily: "Have you met Zhao Tai?"
"Not seen."
"Then have you thought of a way?"
After the emperor sat back at the imperial desk, he said as if he was dying: "I thought of it."
Han You complained: "I didn't expect it, why don't you think about it quickly, his girl and sperm...wait a minute, do you think you have thought of it?"
"Nonsense, I am the emperor, I can't rely on others to advise me on everything. Do you think this dragon chair was given to me by someone else?"
Boss Zhou patted his belly: "The position of Shangshu Ling of Shangshu Province should be given to Zhao Tai, but this matter will have to be discussed around Yuan Day. Let him fight with the Zhao family first."
Han You was anxious: "Your Majesty, can you please stop making trouble? If there is a fraud, if Zhao Tai and the Zhao family join forces to act, the position of prime minister and assistant will be given to someone, and it will not be easy to take it back."
Boss Zhou smiled. He thought Han You had never considered this issue.
In fact, Han You considered all possibilities.
The position of Shangshuling is not decided by the emperor, but by the recommendation of the courtiers, or the emperor. If the emperor proposes the person, the courtiers will support it. If the courtier proposes the person, the emperor must also agree. Only when both parties reach an agreement can it be considered. The Shangshu Ling selected by the "Imperial Court".
So in other words, if the emperor proposes a person, the courtiers agree, and the person comes to power, if he has not made a big mistake, and the emperor suddenly regrets it, it is not that he can withdraw if he wants, the courtiers must also agree, and vice versa. Likewise.
In all dynasties and generations, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and the ministers played like the third grandson.
In fact, before Boss Zhou came to power, many people were also preparing to stage this drama, but at that time they were planning to play the eldest prince of the previous dynasty, but they did not expect to be killed by Boss Zhou later.
Now that Boss Zhou has been on the throne for more than a year, the throne is not completely secure. If there is a wealthy person who has the support of most courtiers and aristocratic families, and brings foreign ministers to fight against him, then his throne is likely to change. into decoration.
Therefore, the selection of Minister Zhou as Prime Minister is not a big crisis for Boss Zhou. Once something goes wrong, not to mention the unstable throne, everything will be hindered.
"I will give him the position of Shangshu Ling, but before that, I want Zhao Tai to make peace with the Zhao family."
The emperor who was behind the case showed an expression that an emperor should have on his face: "Hide that girl from the Zhao family. Don't let the Zhao family take her away. If the Zhao family really marries the Feng family, I will never allow it."
"Yes, I know this, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to agree to Zhao Tai yesterday."
Han You still didn't understand: "But when you said you wanted Zhao Tai to come to power, didn't you hope that Zhao Tai would fall out with the Zhao family?"
"Hahahaha, this time and that time."
Boss Zhou laughed loudly: "This court is like a battlefield. The soldiers are loyal, the generals are brave, and the commander is strategic. I am the commander of this court."
"I don't understand whether you're handsome or not. Just tell me what you think. Don't be pretentious."
"I ask you, if you have two sharp arrows in your hand, and there is a civil servant and a military general in front of you. To kill the civil servant, you only need one arrow. To kill the general, you need to shoot two arrows. But if you kill one, the other will be killed. If they turn against you, what are you going to do?"
"It takes one arrow to kill a civil servant, and two arrows to kill a general. Do both of them need to be shocked?"
"good."
"have no idea."
"If you shoot a general, you only need to shoot one arrow." Boss Zhou's eyes flashed: "If you shoot a general, there is only one arrow left. Anyone who is dishonest will be shot to death."
Han You suddenly realized, he cupped his hand perfunctorily, then rolled his eyes and said, "Then, what does it have to do with Zhao Tai, the Zhao family, and Zaifu?"
"I want to restore the three provinces."
"Hei Ji... Menxia, Zhongshu, Shangshu?!"
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly: "The three provinces of Menxia, Zhongshu and Shangshu will restore the old system of three provinces, six departments, nine temples and twelve prisons?!"
The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes, what do you think?"
Han You's eyes were a little out of focus, and his face looked thoughtful.
When Leng Buding heard this, he realized that the emperor's move was so good that it didn't look like something Lao Ba could come up with, it looked like something a serious emperor could come up with.
In fact, today's ministers are not Zaifu in the actual sense, but Shangshu Ling, because there is only one Shangshu Province, and those who are similar to Zai are called Zaifu.
If there is too much of something, it is not worth it. So once the three-province system is restored, it doesn't matter if Zhao Taidang is not a minister. It can even be said that this minister's order is not as nourishing as his previous minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The so-called three provinces were actually adopted during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
According to correct history, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were followed by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then the Sui Dynasty.
However, it was not Yang Jian who ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but Kang Xun, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, who established the Dakang Dynasty.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the appointment of officials was based on the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which was based on family background rather than ability. Children of aristocratic families could be recommended to the court as officials. At that time, the central government held the greatest power, the Shangshu Province, which was similar to the situation in the previous dynasty and now. , but in the later period, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province appeared, gradually forming a three-province system.
More than fifty years ago, the two provinces of Menxia and Zhongshu were in name only, with almost no rights. In addition, there were a lot of troubles such as imperial disputes and the seizure of direct descendants. Eventually, the one-province system was restored, leaving only the Shangshu Province.
In the normal three-province system, the three provinces restrict each other and are respectively responsible for decision-making, review, and execution. All three are indispensable. The Zhongshu Province is responsible for drafting edicts and decrees. It is useless to just mention them. They must be reviewed by the subordinate provinces. After the subordinate provinces agree, they are handed over to The Shangshu Province implements it.
Han You's eyes began to focus, and his tone was incomprehensible: "Zhao Tai is the minister, who will be the subordinate or the secretary?"
"Qian Ji, Zhongshu Province."
Han You's eyes began to light up: "Where are you?"
"I prefer Zhou Zhenghuai, but I think the court officials will argue hard and recommend Wu Dingbi."
Han You cupped his hand and gave a one-word evaluation: "Awesome."
This sentence is sincere. A moderate crisis in Boss Zhou's life turned into a great opportunity to consolidate imperial power.
