Chapter 1127 1128 [Troubled Times]

For the people of Kyoto, the autumn of the seventh year of Kaiping came too early.

The weather in early September is still hot and unbearable, but many people feel a bit cool in their hearts for some reason.

Those words like snowflakes had not yet caused disputes in the court and turmoil in the public, but a piece of sad and uncontrollable news spread throughout Kyoto.

The left-hand leader of Daliang Zhengshi Hall, the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Taibao, worked diligently for nearly fifty years for four dynasties. Mo Haoli passed away suddenly at the age of sixty-eight.

This incident had a great impact on the civil servant group and even scholars in the world. It is said that after the scholars in Taixue and Guozijian heard the bad news, many people couldn't help but burst into tears, which was second only to the death of Emperor Kaiping a few months ago.

of sadness.

Liu Xian decided to suspend the court for three days to express his condolences, and on the same day he personally led all the princes of the court to Yuqing Street. Empress Dowager Wu also condescended to visit Mo's house in person to express her comfort and condolences to the Mo family.

The next day, Luo Ting and Han Gongduan jointly submitted the memorial, and Liu Xian immediately approved it. The imperial court decided to give Mo Haoli a posthumous title of Wenzheng, and he would be entitled to enjoy the Ancestral Temple and share sacrifices and offerings with the kings of Daliang Dynasties.

This is the ultimate honor that a civil servant can enjoy in this era.

Mo Haoli's funeral was solemn and solemn, which touched the hearts of most people in Kyoto, and many people spontaneously went to the roadside to worship near Yuqing Street in Xingyefang.

Except for a very few people, the government and the public no longer paid attention to the issue of Pei Yue's life experience. The storm that might have caused chaos in the court came to an end because of the death of an old man.

In the first Shuowang Dynasty after Mo Haoli passed away, Liu Xian issued a series of imperial edicts on the appointment and dismissal of officials.

Luo Ting, the right-wing leader, was promoted to the left-hand leader and officially took charge of the East Government Hall. Han Gongduan, who participated in politics, took over as the right-hand leader. The promotion of these two people was expected by the public.

Sheng Duanming, the Minister of Rites, filled the vacancy of the Minister of Rites, because the original Minister of Rites, Wu Kuan, had died in the assassination at the Temple of Heaven in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Wu Cunren, the concubine of Zuo Chunfang, was promoted to the Minister of Rites. Although his promotion speed was a bit fast, the ministers in the court knew that this was because the children of the Mo family were unable to serve because of Ding You, so His Majesty the Emperor gave Mo Haoli the title of a closed disciple.

Preferential treatment. In addition, Wu Cunren was originally an official of the prince, and now Liu Xian has begun to build his own team, so there is no objection in the court.

Ning Huai'an, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lu Zhitao, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and Gao Qiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, remained unchanged in their official positions. Liu Gongchuo, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was transferred to the post of Chief Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. Chen Guan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, took over the post of Minister.

Since the former Minister of Industry, Xue Ji, resigned to face charges, the court has not yet identified a new candidate.

At Luo Ting's suggestion, Liu Xian, after repeated deliberation, finally decided to promote Shitan Temple Supervisor Jian Rong to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shitan Temple Supervisor Jian Rong's deputy would take over.

The functions and officials of the central administrative offices of the imperial court have been roughly adjusted, forming a specific framework with Dongfu Government Hall as the core, commanding six ministries and five temples, Hanlin Academy, General Affairs Department, Imperial College, Qintian Prison, Shitan Temple, Nongsang Temple and Imperial Medical Clinic.

.

The Yushitai is independent of the administrative offices and is responsible for supervising the integrity of the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China, as well as officials of various states.

Taishitai Pavilion and Luan Yiwei have never been part of the imperial government department, but are under the personal control of the emperor. The appointment and removal of officials in these two places do not need the approval of the central government. At the same time, the restructuring of Taishitai Pavilion is also being implemented.

The original nine departments were adjusted to six departments, and some powers and functions were transferred to Luan Yiwei.

In the past few months after Shen Moyun passed away, some elderly people in Taige took the initiative to retire, and with the cooperation of the current right commander Dou Jingchu, Liu Xian did not encounter much resistance.

The military maintained the original general framework. Gu Liang and Xiao Jin were in charge of military affairs in Daliang. Liu Gongchuo was responsible for monitoring corruption in the army. The three major battalions of the Beijing army were commanded by Pei Yue, Chen Huan and Su Wu respectively.

At this point, the old era has gradually come to an end, and a new atmosphere has appeared inside and outside the court.

…

Dongcheng, Yiningfang, Xiangguofu.

In the Baoshu Hall, Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and Su Wu, the Marquis of Nan'an, were seated as the chief guests, while Dingyuan Bo Pei Cheng was accompanied by the Prime Minister.

Su Wu took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Your Majesty's adjustment can be said to be vigorous and swift, and it is clear and organized. It is awe-inspiring, but also a little unexpected."

Xiao Jin did not seem to be affected by the previous confrontation with Pei Yue, and said calmly: "Although Your Majesty is young, there is also a far-sighted Queen Mother in the palace. With the advice and guidance, there will naturally be no obvious mistakes."

He looked at Su Wu's slightly solemn expression and asked, "Why is it unexpected?"

Su Wu said softly: "Sheng Duanming and Jian Rong were promoted to the positions of Minister of Rites and Minister of Work respectively. It can be seen that your Majesty has a broad mind and is far better than my ministers."

Xiao Jinpin understood the profound meaning of his words, which naturally meant that these two newly promoted ministers had a close relationship with Pei Yue. Sheng Duanming once vouched for Pei Yue at the court with the lives of his entire family, and Jian Rong also stepped forward many times to protect him.

He came to help Pei Yue, and he was able to serve as the supervisor of Shitan Temple in the first place because Pei Yue recommended him to Luo Ting.

Although the civil and military forces of Liang Dynasty are relatively opposite, this pattern has gradually been broken in recent years, especially today when Pei Yue is so powerful, the support of the two powerful ministers is very likely to change the direction of the court.

Xiao Jin said nonchalantly: "Not only the two of them, the position of the old fox Gao Qiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is also intriguing. When Li Zijun set up an ambush to kill Pei Yue, the two confronted each other in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Liu Zhi was also present at that time, so Gao Qiu

Secretly favoring Pei Yue. As far as I know, this Gao Shangshu and Gu Liang had a personal relationship many years ago."

Su Wu couldn't help but frown slightly.

Xiao Jin continued: "Lu Zhitao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has a very good impression of Pei Yue. He has spoken to the Qing guests in the mansion several times. If Pei Yue becomes a civil servant instead of a martial artist, he is willing to give up the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Su Wu said meaningfully: "This old money bag is really good at planning and asked Pei Yue to take over the household department. Does he think he can enter the Dongfu?"

Pei Cheng is now the deputy commander of the Kyoto garrison, but he is still respectful in front of the two men. Because Xiao Jin is his guide in the army, and Su Wu and Pei Rong are playmates who grew up together, and his third son

Su Ping was under Pei Cheng's command, and the relationship was extremely close.

Listening to the two elders talking about Pei Yue, he remained calm and silent, occasionally pouring tea and water for them.

Xiao Jin said: "Actually, you can't blame your Majesty for these things. Sheng Duanming has been the Minister of Rites for twelve years, and has a high reputation among Qingliu. After Wu Kuan's death, no one in the court can surpass him. Who will be the Minister of Rites?

Home

There is no suspense at all. As for the Minister of Industry, after the fall of Xue Ji, I expected that he would be succeeded by Jian Rong. This person worked hard at Shitan Temple and now nine natural coal mines have been developed in Daliang, and honeycomb coal is popular everywhere."

His eyes were deep and distant, and he said slowly: "It is said that Shitan Temple and the Shouyang Mountain Mine under the name of Xiangyun are cooperating and are studying how to mine underground coal mines. If this move is successful, the impact on Daliang will be inestimable.

"

Su Wu sighed: "It seems that Pei Yue just proposed ideas and did not intervene in Shitan Temple, Imperial Medical Hall and Nongsang Prison, but he has a strong influence on these yamen. Today, more than half of the six ministers

It may become Pei Yue's help. If you include his power in the army, it is simply jaw-dropping."

He looked at Xiao Jin and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, now Pei Yue is no longer on the path of a powerful minister, but he has become a truly powerful minister!"

Xiao Jin smiled helplessly and said: "Even if you and I know this, what can we do to him? The two rulers Luo Jiyu and Han Gongduan just want to coax him. Even Boss Mo hoped to use gentle means during his lifetime.

Control this young powerful man. However, people's hearts are fickle, and no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Su Wu said regretfully: "Actually, the matter of words is indeed a good opportunity. Now it is impossible to kill Pei Yue. All we need to do is weaken his authority. It's a pity that your Majesty was hesitant and missed the opportunity."

Xiao Jin drank half of the cup of tea in one gulp and said slowly: "Your Majesty is also in a dilemma because the late emperor still did not touch Pei Yue in the end."

Su Wudao: "Although Pei Yue has been loyal at least so far, people's hearts are treacherous and difficult to understand. We must make some preparations in advance."

Xiao Jin recalled the tit-for-tat confrontation in the side hall of Liangyi Palace, and said calmly: "No matter what, Pei Yue's life experience is a thorn that cannot be pulled out. Since the late emperor ordered us to wait for His Majesty the Auxiliary, we must not sit back and watch someone spy.

Imperial Power. If you wait patiently, I believe that opportunity will come soon."

Su Wu nodded in agreement.

Pei Cheng remained silent, except when he stood up to pour tea, there was a hint of hesitation in his lowered eyes.
