Chapter 608 Ridiculous
Chapter 608 Ridiculous
The emperor intends to follow the example of the state of Wei, abolishing the prime minister and setting up a cabinet. This is not a small change in the Jin court.
She still remembered that in her last life, the position of prime minister was not abolished until the emperor died.
From ancient times to the present, once the emperor wants to strengthen the centralization and imperial power, he must reform and reform, even if it is not reform and reform... it must be a big thing.
But the emperor is now old and feeble, obsessed with pursuing immortality...
Is it possible that you want to pave the way for the latecomers?
As for what her uncle said about the emperor's falling from the horse, she had always been suspicious about it, but because there was no one in the palace, she didn't know the details of the emperor's falling from the horse.
"Before the letter written by Prime Minister Zuo and the second prince was submitted by the censor, what happened in the court that made the emperor intend to abolish the position of prime minister?" Bai Qingyan asked again.
After all, Bai Jinxiu was not in the court, so he knew very limited things, but Dong Qingping was different...Dong Qingping was a courtier, so he naturally knew better.
Dong Qingping admired Bai Qingyan's political sensitivity very much, he nodded and said: "The emperor wants to build a nine-story platform for that national teacher...to pray for the prosperity of the country. They dissuaded each other, and the dissuasion was very tactful, and there was no aggressive or offensive words. They only said that the treasury of the Jin State is tight, and the livelihood of the people and the food and supplies of the frontier soldiers should be the main focus. The emperor has already repaired the palace, which cost a lot of money. Build Jiuchongtai every year, otherwise the ground will be broken immediately... I am afraid that it will cause people's resentment. Later, Tai Shicheng watched the sky... Please build Jiuchongtai immediately, and Lu Tongtong Yushitai read a book, accusing him of accepting bribes."
really……
The emperor will not abolish the prime minister for no reason. Without his grandfather Bai Weiting, the emperor gradually reveals his nature and becomes more and more impatient with people dissuading him from doing things that hinder him. Withdrawing the prime minister and setting up a cabinet to strengthen centralization and further strengthen the imperial power is not for the sake of reform and reform , not to pave the way for the new emperor who will ascend the throne in the future, the emperor wants to promote everything in the world...he has the final say, and no longer be restrained by others.
He wanted no one in the Jin Kingdom to disobey him again, and no one would dare to disobey whatever he ordered.
Lu Xiang is very tactful, and his best skill is to be wise and protect himself, but Lu Xiang still has a bottom line in his heart, and he doesn't care about it... he only cares about flattering the emperor and making him happy first, so the words of dissuasion must put the emperor in the first place One, but even so, the emperor still couldn't tolerate it.
Today's emperor is becoming more and more restrained.
She pursed her lips, thinking of Tianshi, she thought of King Liang.
The celestial master came from Prince Liang's mansion, but few people know... This celestial master was found by Li Mao's son, Li Mingrui.
Bai Qingyan remembered that Bai Jinxiu had told her before that the censor's participation in the memorial to Li Mao had something to do with the second prince's treason case, and after it was found out that the letter was a forgery, Li Mao never returned to the court, even when King Liang asked Li Mao to come back. At the time of the court, Li Mao also went to the table to beg for the remains.
At that time, Bai Qingyan was wondering whether it was the king of Liang who wanted to use Li Mao's position as the left chancellor...to make profits for him. Li Mao couldn't shirk, that's why he said he was ill.
Now it seems that Li Mao is abolishing the position of prime minister for the emperor and reducing obstacles.
But what good is this for Li Mao? Or... Li Mao just wants to follow the emperor's wishes?
Bai Qingyan paused for a moment as he rubbed the chess piece's hand, and suddenly had an absurd guess.
She looked up at Dong Qingping: "Yesterday the crown prince returned to Dadu, today...does anyone bring up the matter of building the Jiuchongtai again?"
Knowing that Bai Qingyan had understood what he meant, Dong Qingping nodded, "That's right! Taishi Cheng said that he needs to start the construction of the Nine-Storied Terrace before His Majesty can wake up."
"Ridiculous!" Bai Qingyan threw his hands into the chess box, his heart heaving violently.
The dignified emperor of the Jin Kingdom actually treats a country's government as a trifling matter!
Connecting all the things together, Bai Qingyan finally understands, she really thinks too highly of this emperor...
I thought he was going to strengthen the centralization of power, the imperial power, and to do something big, but in the end...it turned out to be to build a nine-fold platform!
At first, the emperor Yuemo wanted to use force, removed the position of prime minister, and concentrated power in his hands. After that, no one could stop him from building the Jiuzhongtai. Unhappy, and unwilling to be the same as before, trying to agree with the emperor.
After all, this matter was a waste of money and people, and if the matter did not go well in the end, the emperor would not say anything about him... and he would be infamous behind him, so Li Mao simply hid at home.
As for the emperor, he found that it was extremely difficult to move forward with the withdrawal of the position of prime minister and the reform of the official structure. He was eager to build the Jiuzhongtai, so he came to a horse and recruited the prince back, thinking that the prince's filial piety would definitely build it for him. Jiuchongtai.
Bai Qingyan was so angry that her palms trembled.
She didn't need to investigate further to know that the nine-fold platform should be used by the emperor to seek the elixir of life.
For the sake of a nine-fold platform, the emperor of a country pretended to fall from a horse and fell into a coma, which almost caused a catastrophe!
If Bai Qingyan was not in Dengzhou at that time, and Fu Ruoxi had really listened to what the queen said and led troops to Dadu to support King Xin as the throne, what did the emperor want to live forever? I am afraid that the day when Fu Ruoxi led troops into the city would be the emperor's death day.
How is the emperor's behavior different from that of Zhou Youwang back then? !
Dong Qingping picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard with downcast eyes, threw them into the chess box, and sighed: "If the Jin Kingdom allows such an emperor to rule for a few more years, luck... I'm afraid it will come to an end."
"No..." Bai Qingyan looked at the chessboard where Dong Qingping picked up the sunspots, and suddenly said, "Before the emperor passed out, he asked his grandmother to return to the palace to serve as a council member. Impossible not to notice."
She picked up the teacup in her hand, and this matter... had a rough outline in her mind.
However, she still needs to meet Fu Ruoxi to be sure.
"Uncle, I will go back to Shuoyang when I understand the matter of Fu Ruoxi, and if something happens in the court, please try to... tell my second sister Jinxiu about the incident in the court, and Jinxiu will send the letter to me! "Bai Qingyan bowed solemnly to Dong Qingping.
After all, Bai Jinxiu is a woman from the back house, and she was pregnant a while ago and gave birth prematurely, so there are inevitably omissions in the news, but if she has her uncle to help, it will make a big difference.
Since Dong Qingping asked Bai Qingyan to come over today, and said so much, he meant to send a letter to Bai Qingyan in the future, and he nodded: "Okay, uncle understands."
Coming out of Dong's house, Bai Qingyan went to the prince's mansion, intending to ask the prince for a favor, and to visit Fu Ruoxi in prison, so as to correct her thoughts.
After all, Fu Ruoxi is a repeat offender now, and without the crown prince's approval, I'm afraid Lu Jin won't let her see him either.
Whoever Bai Qing said knew that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, he met Quan Yu who had just left the Prince's Mansion.
When Quan Yu saw Bai Qingyan, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The first bird! Continue to ask for a monthly ticket! Do you know why Quan Yu invited the eldest sister? Because the male protagonist is here... The prince, a matchmaker, is still very competent.
