"Second point, it is inevitable that the new emperor will ascend the throne, but after all, he is still young.
As the saying goes: The young master is suspicious of the country, but the ministers are not attached, and the people do not believe it.
Therefore, the first thing to do after ascending to the throne must be to appoint an auxiliary minister to handle state affairs on his behalf.
When the time comes, I will take the opportunity in the court to ask you to listen to politics behind the curtain.
As long as we grasp the fact that the new emperor is young and cannot live without his mother, this shouldn't be difficult.
At the critical moment, 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 minister, the cabinet must be reorganized.
My suggestion is that my mentor Li Shouzhong can be the second assistant, and Jia Hua, the Minister of War, is also qualified to join the cabinet.
By then, half of the cabinet will be controllable, and together with yourself, you will be able to avoid power being emptied out.
At the same time, you also need to express an attitude to the officials.
That is to ask Chen Qinzhi to come back to take charge of the overall situation. Only in this way can the forces of all parties be balanced.
In particular, it gives temporary peace of mind to the leaderless New Party. "
These are the second points Feng Yibo explained before.
The two sang and harmonized, and then they reached the point where they could listen to politics behind the curtain.
Yuanchun struck while the iron was hot and implemented the proposal to reorganize the cabinet.
The three people named had different reactions when they heard this.
When Li Shouzhong heard that he had joined the cabinet, he directly became the second assistant.
His first reaction was to look at Feng Yibo.
If he were to join the cabinet as a matter of routine, it would be natural given his status as the Minister of Rites.
But as soon as he entered the cabinet, he immediately became the second assistant, and it was probably this apprentice's work.
Most likely, he mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother after saving her.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Lord Dan:
"Veteran Li Shouzhong is really scared!"
"Li Shangshu doesn't have to be like this!"
Yuanchun raised his hand to support him and said directly:
"The late emperor passed away so suddenly. Your Majesty was still young, and Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Chen Ge were both seriously ill. Now the Wei Dynasty needs a respected veteran like you to assist us. For the sake of the late emperor, please don't refuse!"
The late emperor had already put it all out, and it was obvious that Yuanchun was afraid that something might change if it was too late.
When Li Shouzhong heard this, he stopped making three requests and three concessions.
At this time, he could only do his duty.
"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have so much trust. It is really inappropriate for the old minister to continue to push back and block me. I can only do my best in the future and live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"
Yuanchun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Then I have to ask Mr. Li Ge to take care of you from now on!"
Here, with just a request and a concession, the process of joining the cabinet is over.
On the other side, Xia Yuan, who was "being old and frail", felt uncomfortable.
Everyone understands that "one emperor and one courtier".
Especially him, an old minister of Qiandi and a loyal supporter of Emperor Jingshun.
Once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be the first to be dismissed.
But even though he had been mentally prepared for this, he was still a little reluctant to give up.
As soon as Li Shouzhong retreated, he came out to pay homage and said with gratitude:
"Your Majesty Xia Yuan, thank you Queen Mother for your consideration!"
Even if you don't want to leave, you still have to give thanks.
Going to Nanjing for retirement has left him with dignity.
Yuanchun only glanced at him, nodded and said no more.
Different from him is Jia Yucun.
Before he left the queue, he glanced at Feng Yibo without any trace.
Then, without making any concessions, he bowed to Lord Dan and said neatly:
"Since the Queen Mother and Your Majesty trust me, I will definitely do my best!"
Others may not have reacted yet, but Jia Yucun is well aware of Feng Yibo's planning ability.
Li Shouzhong directly became the second assistant, and he immediately entered the cabinet.
Such an operation shows the control of the DPRK situation.
This was by no means a temporary uprising.
Jia Yucun guessed that this must be planned by someone behind the scenes.
On the surface, both he and Li Shouzhong were related to the Rong family.
In order to stabilize the status of the new emperor, Yuanchun will definitely use ministers like them who are well-connected and capable.
But he still didn't believe that this was what Yuanchun, who had lived in the palace for a long time, could think of in a short time.
This must have been given guidance by an expert behind Yuanchun.
Otherwise, according to normal standards, it is likely that Wang Jue will supervise the country.
The leader of the newly promoted nobles, Prince Zhongshun, is dead.
The Prince of Beijing, who was of the founding lineage, could barely supervise the country.
This is the most likely way of thinking for Yuanchun, who was born in the lineage of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
Now Yuanchun is uncharacteristically not mentioning those old relatives at all, but wants the cabinet to assist the government.
Then, think about it along the lines of thinking that there is someone behind her...
Don’t be too obvious about the person behind this!
Just now in the court, Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun were singing together.
Obviously, Feng Yibo won Yuan Chun's trust by rescuing him.
This is the beginning of the layout in the court.
Last time, there were some disagreements between Jia Yucun and Feng Yibo because of the terms of peace negotiation.
But as a mature politician, that matter is not worth mentioning at all.
It's just that while Jia Yucun was happy to join the cabinet, he also knew that he had to choose his camp again.
I just don’t know if this time I am considered a member of the founding lineage.
It was the Marquis of Chu who had just rescued him and was at the height of his power.
Ready to start a new business, Luo Zhi party members.
In any case, if he gave me a hand.
Then you have to reciprocate the favor and give some responses based on the actual situation.
"There is no need to be too polite. From now on, we, my mother-in-law, will pay more attention to Mr. Jia Ge."
Jia Yucun had to listen to what Yuanchun said.
He succeeded Xia Yuan, and he will naturally become a short-term elder in the future.
A short-term 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 is the elder who is important!
In order to revive, he can join the Jia family.
In order to ascend to the position of Shangshu, he can seek refuge with Prince Teng and the founding lineage.
In order to keep his position as minister, he could also secretly defect to the new party.
Then, in order to keep his position as cabinet minister, he would naturally be willing to be a short-term cabinet minister.
Sometimes, this is how it is with people.
You don’t have to use good people, but you must use the right people.
If you want to find someone who is obedient, don't use a gentleman who values justice over profit.
Otherwise, isn't that just causing trouble for yourself?
People like Jia Yucun are neither traitors nor loyal ministers.
He is a pure politician who puts interests first.
It was precisely because of this that Feng Yibo chose to help him join the cabinet.
In any case, let’s control the cabinet first.
As for other things, he will wait until the situation stabilizes before he thinks about it.
Here, the officials have not yet digested the changes in the court situation.
On the other side, Motoharu spoke again.
"This time Emperor Daxing was assassinated, the Jingying camp is also to blame. I think it's time to replace the commander of the Jingying camp."
Having said this, she scanned the audience and asked:
"I wonder if 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 the Beijing camp have been taken over by new nobles before.
Now the leader of the newly promoted nobles, Prince Zhongshun, is plotting to assassinate him.
Then it is natural to take back the military power of the Beijing camp.
For a time, there was naturally no objection from the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.
But the founding lineage and the newly promoted nobles immediately began to compete.
The Prince of Beijing County did his part and stepped forward first:
"I recommend Xie Kun, the hereditary second-class male grandson of the Marquis of Dingcheng and a guerrilla in the Beijing camp. He has been in the Beijing camp for many years and is familiar with the situation. He is also a noble, so he is the most suitable!"
The Marquis of Dingcheng was also of the founding lineage and was very close to the Prince of Beijing.
There is a high probability that there is no chance for the new rich, but some people came forward reluctantly, bowed and said:
"I recommend Bai Jiajun, the governor of Huizhou, who has been very effective in suppressing bandits in Huizhou. Now that the banditry in the two prefectures of Shandong is difficult to control, 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 brother of Bai Jiajin, the Minister of War.
The upstarts obviously wanted to avenge Emperor Jingshun by annihilating the horse bandits.
Even so, there is a high probability that this recommendation will not be passed.
These words also show his attitude.
In fact, it is saying that they have nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun assassinating the king and killing Jia.
"That's wrong!"
It is a pity that the founding family will not miss such an opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi and hereditary general of the third rank of Weizhen, stepped forward a few steps, bowed to Danbi, and said with a smile:
"The rebel leader has already been executed. The Shandong horse bandits have lost the support of the rebel leader. It's just a disease. They only need to mobilize a few nearby guard posts to encircle and suppress them. Why do they need to use the Beijing camp?"
He has suffered a lot of losses from newly promoted nobles before. If he doesn't step out and add insult to injury now, what are he waiting for?
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Liang, the grandson of Marquis Jingtian of the Wucheng Army, also stepped forward. After bowing, he echoed:
"General Xie is right! What's more, if the Beijing camp is transferred out, how will the emptiness here in the capital be filled?"
Having said this, he said with a half-smile:
"Doesn't it have something to do with you and Nishou?"
These words are murderous and heartbreaking.
How many of the newly promoted nobles have nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun?
Logically speaking, these words cannot be put down on the table until the investigation is clear.
It's just that the founding lineage was suppressed before and couldn't hold its head up. Now that the son of the eldest daughter of the Jia family has become the emperor, their old relatives are also honored.
Many people feel that the founding lineage is about to stand up again.
Therefore, when I speak now, I have much less scruples.
"That's unreasonable! You're such a slanderer!"
"My son is the Dragon Guard, and he was also killed by Nishou, and he almost killed our whole family!"
"That's right! The relationship between us and Nishou is that we are officials in the same dynasty and have the same title, so why are you the same?"
"..."
The newly promoted nobles glared angrily and stepped forward to confront each other.
For a while, the two sides argued endlessly.
"Wow! Mother! Woohoo!"
At this moment, Emperor Xuanzhi on the dragon throne seemed to be frightened. He suddenly staggered a few steps, hugged Yuanchun's thigh and started crying.
At this moment, all civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded.
The founding lineage and the newly promoted nobles all turned off their fires, and they all looked at the little emperor crying with some helplessness.
The ministers who were just preparing to "listen to politics behind the curtain" have now given up all thoughts of admonition.
Without him, such a child would really be inseparable from his mother's arms.
Yuanchun picked up Emperor Xuanzhi and coaxed him for a long time before 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."
At this moment, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could only look at each other in confusion, not knowing whether to continue or not.
While they were at a loss, a figure stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"I'm going to tell the Queen Mother, I have a suggestion."
Yuanchun patted Emperor Xuanzhi again and again, while holding back his laughter and said:
"Be good, the Marquis of Chu just says it's okay."
Although they knew Guaiguai was coaxing the child, the elders in the front row still felt a little awkward.
Moreover, Yuanchun was afraid of waking up the children, so he kept his voice low.
The two of them seemed to be doing something shameful, and they spoke carefully.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw this, they were naturally dumbfounded.
"Before the treachery is thoroughly investigated, it is best to bring people back from other places."
Feng Yibo continued to lower his voice and said:
"When I was suppressing Japanese invaders in the south of the Yangtze River, I once cooperated with a man. This man was a skilled soldier, a decent man, and he made countless contributions."
Yuanchun shook the child again and again and asked:
"Oooh! Who is it? Ooooh!"
The "oohs" before and after are naturally coaxing the children to sleep.
The real problems are mixed in and seem so nondescript.
All the civil and military officials in the court were a little bit embarrassed for a while, but they were also full of worries about going to court in the future.
After Yuanchun asked, he walked to the dragon chair, gently put Emperor Xuanzhi down, and covered him with the blanket he had just sent.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original position.
Feng Yibo was relieved when he saw this, but he still lowered his voice and said:
"This person's surname is Liu Mingzhao, and he is currently serving as the commander of the Quanzhou Guard."
Yuanchun acted as if he was in a hurry to leave. After hearing this, he nodded directly and said:
"In that case, according to what the Marquis of Chu said, let's transfer Liu Zhao to the capital to take over the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp!"
The officials at the back could barely hear the conversation here, but the elders in the front row heard it clearly.
The Prince of Beijing County originally thought that this position belonged to the founding family, and he became a little anxious when he heard this.
"The Beijing camp is of great importance, how can we easily appoint outsiders?"
His voice was not suppressed and was slightly louder.
Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun frowned almost at the same time and put their index fingers on their mouths.
"Shh!"
Yuanchun also looked back at Emperor Xuanzhi and was relieved to see that he was not awakened.
But he still glared at Prince Beijing with some dissatisfaction.
The Prince of Beijing County was inevitably a little embarrassed for a moment, but after swallowing his saliva, he still wanted to continue fighting.
At this time, Jia Yucun took a step forward and whispered:
"The Ministry of War has seen Liu Zhao's achievements for all to see, and I approve this proposal from the Marquis of Chu."
Yuanchun glanced at him in slight surprise, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Jia Ge has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and he must be very familiar with the affairs of these military attachés. Since Mr. Jia Ge thinks it is feasible, then the matter is settled."
Prince Beijing looked at Yuanchun in disbelief.
It's a pity that he was left confused in every possible way. Now that the matter has come to this point, he understands that Yuanchun's mind has been made up.
No matter what I say now, it's useless to be afraid.
At that moment, he turned back and took a deep look at Jia Zheng and other Jia family members.
Then he flicked his sleeves and returned to the queue.
Several employed people from the Jia family were here today, but the Prince of Beijing County looked confused.
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 told him.
"Third, the capital camp is of great importance, and the military governor must be replaced by one of our own.
The assassination of the late emperor was committed by Prince Zhongshun. Until it is found out who was involved in the matter, the newly promoted nobles need not consider it.
And recently, many veterans, including Beijing County Prince Du and Prince Zhongshun, have been involved.
Before the investigation was clear, everyone in the capital was suspected of being involved.
If people are employed improperly, it is inevitable that someone will jump over the wall if something is discovered in the future.
We must avoid such risks.
Therefore, it is best to recruit those of your own who are not clearly divided into different factions and who are still obedient.
When the time comes, I will recommend Liu Zhao, the commander of the Quanzhou Guard, with whom I have an old relationship. "
