Chapter 11 The Long River Sunset Section 22 The eldest princess agrees to revise the official system, which does not mean that the eldest princess agrees to the official system revision plan submitted by the ministers.

On August 22, difficult negotiations ensued between the monarchs and ministers, and the two sides fought wits and bargains.

The eldest princess confronted the ministers head-on with the strength of one person, and did not give an inch on key issues.

The Central Bookstore is the decision-making body of state politics, and its functions and powers are huge, which is the focus of this revision of the official system. The ministers demanded that the powers of the Central Scribe Supervisor be reduced and that some of them be transferred to the foreign courts.

The eldest princess did not agree, and reducing the power of the middle scribe was equivalent to limiting the imperial power, and of course she would not agree.

However, she did not express direct opposition, but agreed to reduce the power of the Central Supervisor, but the reduced authority could not be transferred to the foreign courts, but to the Shangshutai of the Chinese Dynasty, so that the long-idle Shangshutai could play a role and move the Shangshutai back to the palace.

Zhongshujian and Shangshutai are both Chinese and Korean institutions, both in the imperial palace, and the authority is equal to or controlled by the eldest princess, and the ministers' intention to reduce the imperial power is in vain, and the ministers will certainly not agree.

But not all the ministers are unanimously opposed, many of the current officials in the middle of the book supervisor are Li Wei's lineage, if the eldest princess re-uses Shangshutai, all parties have the opportunity to send their own people into Shangshutai, and then have an impact on national decision-making, which is conducive to the distribution of power and checks and balances in foreign dynasties.

After the Chang'an crisis, almost all the people in the court are from the north of Xinjiang, and it is difficult for other forces to resist, if the people of the north of Xinjiang are completely in control, in the near future, I am afraid that only the people of the north will be left in the court, so this suggestion of the eldest princess is very attractive to Guan Luo and Ying Rushi.

The attitudes of Taifu Yang Biao, acting prime minister Zhou Zhong, Taiwei Xun You, Dahonglu Yuan Yao and others immediately changed.

And the eldest princess immediately seized the opportunity and threw it out without losing any time

The most striking position of the "prime minister" is an attempt to divert the attention of the ministers and let the DPRK and China take the lead

"Fighting" is to first mess with oneself, and then divide and induce, and do everything possible to maintain the authority in one's hands.

The eldest princess's move had an immediate effect. If the official system is successfully revised, the power of the prime minister will increase dramatically, and this is a hot position, and no one wants to let it go.

At present, there are three most competitive ministers, one is the general Li Hong, one is the Taifu Yang Biao, and the other is the Taiwei Xun You.

The possibility of the great general Li Hong becoming prime minister is slim. Is it necessary for him to be prime minister now? He became a prime minister and held authority, which was tantamount to sitting on the posture of usurpation.

Does he dare to sit? Does the eldest princess dare to let him sit? Among the people of Northern Xinjiang, except for the general Li Hong, no one is qualified to be the prime minister.

Taifu Yang Biao should be the best candidate for prime minister. Although the corruption of Yang Yi of the same sect affected his reputation, Yang Qi, the former Tai Changqing, had already borne joint and several responsibility and was dismissed and went home, and he no longer had to take responsibility for it.

Now as long as the eldest princess personally names her, Yang Biao, the prime minister, will be able to sit firmly. This may also be one of the important reasons why the Guanluo Shi and Ying Rushi people did their best to help the Northern Xinjiang people overthrow the Prime Minister Cai Yong and the Qing Yanshi people, because they must be the last beneficiaries.

If Taifu Yang Biao can't be the prime minister, then it's Taifu Xunyou. The assassination case that broke out at the end of last year involved the Xun family, and Xun You almost lost his head for it.

But the crisis helped him a lot. Just a few days ago, when Kong Rong and others were beheaded, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, and Xianrong were reinstated as acquittals.

Xun You was restored to the position of Tai Lieutenant at the most appropriate time, and is expected to win the post of Prime Minister. I don't know if it's his luck or the luck of the Yingrushi people.

The eldest princess did not name names, she asked the ministers to recommend. The eldest princess said that the revision of the official system was related to the fate of Han Zuo, and the imperial court could not rebuild the official system without the participation of the prime minister.

The eldest princess's words are very reasonable. Although the ministers all know that this is a trap set by the eldest princess, this trap will not work if it does not jump, it is related to the power and interests of all parties, and it must be jumped without hesitation.

As the ministers expected, the people of Northern Xinjiang did not recommend the general to be the prime minister, but to their great surprise, the people of Northern Xinjiang actually recommended Li Wei, the great Sinon.

There was an uproar in the court. Ministers recognized Li Wei's merits and the decisive role he played in the crisis, but he was not qualified to serve as prime minister.

In other words, he is not qualified to be prime minister now. To be a prime minister is not only to have intelligence, but also to have a high reputation,

"Having both ability and political integrity" is the minimum condition, but the current Li Wei really does not have it

The prestige of "world-shattering". What is especially important is that the series of measures adopted by Li Wei in this crisis have made the ministers dumbfounded and frightened, and have a deeper understanding of his ruthlessness.

Taifu Yang Biao, Taiwei Xun You, and several ministers who knew the inside story of the crisis all knew that the case of assassinating the Son of Heaven was an unjust case, and the best way to make this unjust case never turn over was to kill all those who might cause the reversal of the case.

But Li Wei killed too much, seventeen ministers were beheaded, the nine clans were wiped out, and thousands of lives were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

But Li Wei is not satisfied, he still wants to kill, the lives of Cai Yong, Liu He and others are in danger, the lives of a group of envoys in Xiangyang are also hanging in the balance, and the 14 local officials who are rushing back to Kyoto from various places are probably also unlucky.

If Li Wei becomes the prime minister, the court will inevitably make waves again, and several ministers such as Taifu Yang Biao and others who know the inside story will die sooner or later, and Li Wei will never let them go.

The eldest princess was also surprised by the recommendation of the people from the northern Xinjiang. Back then, before his death, Mr. Zhang Wen solemnly recommended Cai Yong and Li Wei to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess complied with the instructions of Lord Zhang Wen and worshiped Cai Yong as the prime minister. In her opinion, when Cai Yong is old and Zhishi, Li Wei is almost fifty years old, and his qualifications and prestige are about the same, so he can take over.

Even if something goes wrong in the middle, there are ministers such as Yang Biao, Liu He, and Xun You to support them temporarily, and she never thought of letting a minister under the age of forty serve as prime minister.

The people of northern Xinjiang recommended Li Wei in unison, and there must be the support of the general behind him, and if he did not agree, then he had to consider the consequences of not agreeing.

But if he agreed, Li Wei's power would be too great. He not only controlled the outer court, but also controlled the inner court, and his power was overwhelming.

Now everyone believes that the Chang'an crisis was not launched by Zhang Yan, nor by Li Wei, but by the general.

The general's purpose has been completely exposed, he wants to push Li Wei to the position of prime minister, and let the warriors and scholars in northern Xinjiang control the government.

Why did he do it? Why did he go against the norm and manipulate the situation behind his back? Could it be that after the end of the Luoyang War, his thinking changed, and he was going to usurp the Dahan Sheji step by step?

The eldest princess was terrified. Taifu Yang Biao, Taiwei Xun You and a group of ministers were also timid. The eldest princess did not agree, nor did she not agree, she put forward conditions.

If Cai Yong, Liu He, and other ministers are not implicated in the assassination of the Son of Heaven, then they will be released immediately. Li Wei also put forward conditions.

The imperial court immediately gave an explanation to the "Tian Law" and released Ding Li and Zhu Wei. Li Wei is an open threat, he relies on the fact that behind him is the general, the entire northern Xinjiang force, and he unscrupulously threatens the eldest princess.

On August 25, the eldest princess issued an edict to explain the relevant provisions of the "Tian Law". On August 27, the eldest princess issued an edict to the world, promulgating the specific interpretation of the relevant provisions of the "Tian Law" by the imperial court, and ordering all prefectures and counties to comply with them.

August 28. The eldest princess issued an order, and the court found Ding Lihe innocent and released him immediately. On the same day, the eldest princess of the Tingwei Mansion determined that Cai Yong, Liu He and other ministers were not involved in the assassination of the Son of Heaven, and were acquitted.

On August 29, the general Li Hong returned to Chang'an day and night. The five senses Zhonglang greeted Tian Chou at Weiqiao.

Tian Chou told in detail about the crisis that broke out in Chang'an. Li Wei persuaded the mighty general He Feng in the first time after the crisis and asked He Feng to lead the army to rush to support Liyang, which accelerated the outbreak of the crisis, causing us to lose control of the situation and leaving Chang'an completely out of control for a time.

After Li Wei forced us to agree to his terms, he firmly controlled the overall situation and concluded the assassination case with an unbelievable speed.

On August 18, 17 ministers, including Kong Rong and You Heng, were killed, and all nine clans were wiped out, which made the people of Northern Xinjiang the target of public criticism and planted a terrible disaster for the future court, which was completely contrary to the original vision of Lord Zhang Yan.

Li Wei's bloody methods of eradicating his opponent frightened all the forces of the imperial court, and his despicable methods of taking advantage of the fire to rob and blame others also made the northern Xinjiang warriors angry, and the contradictions between the two sides have been deeply planted, and the situation in the court may be chaotic in the future.

What is strange is that Xu Rong and Xian Yufu strongly asked us to jointly recommend Li Wei as prime minister.

At this time, letting Li Wei serve as prime minister is tantamount to putting the blame for starting the crisis on the general, which is very unfavorable to the general, will cause all kinds of speculation in the court, and is a blow to the general's reputation.

"If you don't use this method, can Zhong Yuan sit in the position of prime minister?" Li Hong leaned on the back seat of the carriage tiredly, frowning tightly,

"For the sake of the continuous promotion of the great cause of Zhongxing, and for the overall interests of the people of Northern Xinjiang, we pushed Zhong Yuan to the position of prime minister. But then, in order to restrain me, in order to make the Northern Xinjiang people split faster and more thoroughly, the eldest princess is bound to reuse Li Wei, give him enough power, fully support him, and let him quickly become a person who can resist me. A lonely and bitter smile appeared on Li Hong's face,

"It won't be long before the eldest princess and the ministers in the court will find out that it is not me who endangers the rise and fall of the society, their lives, and their interests, but the prime minister whom they support so hard." Tian Chou Huo Ran woke up, and his heart trembled.

Could it be that the general wants to kill Li Wei?

"Is Zhong Yuan going to kill more people?" Li Hong asked.

"The eldest princess has explained the relevant provisions of the "Tian Law", and the two adults, Ding Li and Zhu Wei, have been released. Tian Chou said,

"But Lord Li Wei is still pressing step by step, and he has to ask the eldest princess to hand over the power in her hand, so in a short time, the knife in Lord Li Wei's hand is estimated to be unable to stop."

"Okay, okay......" Li Hong said in a low voice,

"This position of prime minister was earned by Zhong Yuan himself, and it is up to him whether he can keep it or not. But I believe in him, and no one can push him down unless he doesn't want to do it himself. Tian Chou looked at Li Hong in surprise, and wanted to say something but held back.

"I know you don't like Zhong Yuan's style of acting, but when the great cause of Zhongxing is advancing, it is indeed necessary for someone like him to charge into the court and do what we dare not do, otherwise, when will Dahan be able to Zhongxing?" Li Hong sighed,

"Zhong Yuan got his wish, I hope he won't let me down." Tian Chou showed a trace of disdain on his face,

"If it weren't for the general secretly helping him and giving him a warrant to transfer troops, would he dare to be so arrogant?" Li Hong smiled,

"In June, Feiyan wrote to me and told me to come back and turn the tide, or he would take action. I wrote back to him at the time and told him that it was okay to shoot, but not to send troops. Because as long as he made a mutiny, Zhong Yuan knew that he was already facing a desperate situation, and he could only survive by fighting to the death, and he would quickly turn the situation around. After so many years, you still don't know Zhong Yuan's ability? How old was he when we arrived in Northern Xinjiang? Didn't you play Dong Zhuo around? In fact, even if Zhong Yuan didn't have that warrant, he could still persuade He Feng to send troops to Liyang. Did I leave He Feng in Jingshi just because he was brave in battle? Li Hong shook his head with a smile,

"Zitai, you know what? That warrant was no longer valid three years ago, and the reason why I never got it back was just to tell Zhong Yuan that I believed him. But now it seems that he still doesn't believe me, he has killed so many people...... Is there any difference between him killing people and me killing people? Tian Chou was dumbfounded,

"Li Wei dares to rebel?"

"That's why I said, we need Zhong Yuan to charge at the court and do what we don't dare to do." Li Hong said lightly,

"If it were Feiyan and you, would you dare to do this?"

"He Feng also dares to send troops?"

"Why don't He Feng dare? He and Yuan Shu are the same people. In the past, he dared to kill me, but now he still doesn't dare to send troops without authorization? Li Hong said,

"When He Feng was mixing in the capital back then, I didn't know where it was? He has been mixed under He Jin for so many years, what has he not seen? What is this little battle to him? Tian Chou stayed for a moment and laughed at himself,

"I misread He Feng."

"You don't know about his past, but Zhong Yuan does, and I do." Li Hong said with a smile,

"I think when we snatched Xiaolan from the capital, thanks to the help of Yuan Shu and He Feng, they beat Cao Cao to an embarrassment at that time." Tian Chou laughed silently,

"Did the general go to Liyang overnight to meet the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess?"

"No, wait two days, wait for the eldest princess and Zhong Yuan to reconcile as before, and when the new official system is decreed, I will go to Liyang." Jump to
