Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair put down his chopsticks when he saw that everyone had almost eaten, and the ministers who were not full did not dare to eat any more, so they stopped their chopsticks and looked up.

As soon as the prince waved his hand, a servant stepped forward to remove the low table and the food. The officials were about to stand up, but the emperor pressed his hand and said, "Sit down, gentlemen."

Everyone was exhausted for a long time, and immediately bowed to thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This time, the court meeting was held for too long, and the emperor was very tired. He glanced at the audience and sighed: "I have lived in the mansion for more than forty years, and since I came of age, I have left the palace to open the mansion. , Corruption and bribery, entrusting others with karma, deception and deceit, false publicity and selfishness, all kinds of bad habits, all kinds of bad habits, are all well-known and insightful. Therefore, I want to clarify the administration of officials and ensure the livelihood of the people. For the past two years, I have worked hard to slander the reputation of the public and private Between them, the distinction is extremely clear, and the instructions are not afraid of trouble, and we hope to revive decades of decadent winds, and use the root of governance. Although the ambition is great, but my poor health cannot support it."

The emperor looked down at the ministers, got up and walked off the dragon chair, helped the prince to the front of the steps, stretched out his hand and asked, "I am in danger, are you willing to help me?"

The officials immediately turned around and knelt down facing the emperor, leaning over and said: "The ministers are willing to serve His Majesty, until after death!"

The emperor held the prince's hand tightly, looked at the blue sky outside the palace through the gate, and said, "I propose to strengthen the supervision of the six ministries, not for the sake of the king's leisure and enjoyment, but for better governance of the Great Chu. I know my worries, if the descendants are lazy, all the ministers have the right to impeach the emperor, as long as there are reasons and evidence, you should listen."

The last sentence was addressed to the prince.

The crown prince knelt at the emperor's feet and said respectfully: "My son obeys the decree, please issue an edict to warn future generations."

The emperor nodded slightly when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at the historian.

The historian quickly knelt down and said, "I have recorded it, and I can issue an edict after I retire from the court."

"I am not in good health, so the crown prince has the full power to change matters. Besides, all state affairs must go through the crown prince first, and then report to me if the crown prince does not decide. Peng Qing, Qin Qing, you two will lead the cabinet and The six departments assist the prince."

Peng Dan was no longer willing to change, so he had to grit his teeth and bow his head to respond, "I will obey the order."

The kneeling courtiers of His Highness heard that some people were happy and some were sad, but they were more happy. Although everyone was noisy just now, in fact, most of them advocated change, and the emperor made it clear just now that he wanted to change.

Those who opposed could not find any good reasons. Gu Jingyun said that the current reform is better to standardize the powers and responsibilities of various ministries and restore them according to the system.

After all, many of the functions and powers taken up by the cabinet belong to the six ministries, but under the subtle influence of a hundred years, everyone has become accustomed to reporting to the cabinet.

And the emperor also said that he is not in good health and is too tired, so he can no longer review so many memorials and intervene in so many state affairs, so he needs to delegate certain powers and only deal with some important state affairs. Can they still force the emperor to procrastinate Do you deal with state affairs with a sick body?

Hand it over to the five cabinet elders?

Who dares to say this?

So does the world belong to the emperor or the cabinet?

You must know that the cabinet is the existence of the emperor's think tank. Its original intention is that when the emperor has indecision in handling state affairs, you can ask the cabinet if you don't understand. At first, the cabinet did not have the right to make decisions. Those memorials should have been approved by the emperor himself.

But the cabinet has developed to the present, they can not only screen and submit memorials, but also approve some memorials. During the reign of the first emperor, the cabinet could even insert papers for approval on major national affairs. It only needs to be handed over to His Majesty for a second look before issuing a reply according to the cabinet's opinion. Also serious.

During the reign of the first emperor, the struggle for the heir apparent intensified, and the cabinet was divided. Peng Dan belonged to the prince at that time, and the other three cabinet members belonged to the fourth prince except Ouyang Zhongli, Minister of Rites.

At the end of the party struggle, there is no so-called justice, law, and etiquette for monarchs and ministers. Instead, I oppose what the other party agrees with, and agree with what the other party opposes, completely ignoring the people's struggle for power and profit.

The emperor never thought of abolishing the cabinet, but he really hated party disputes, so he put officials first. He was used to gentleness, and he thought about it slowly, so he did not make drastic reforms in the two years since he took the throne, and he did not find the fourth prince. A series of people settle accounts.

But he didn't have much time, and his son knew that the prince hated party disputes more than he did, and because of his character and age, the prince's actions would definitely be more violent than him.

Gu Jingyun's proposal can not only liberate him from the busy political affairs, but also take the opportunity to rectify the administration of officials. It can also take this opportunity to train the prince and let the regime transition to him smoothly.

So the emperor hesitated for two days, and after questioning the queen mother, he decisively dropped the bomb at the court meeting. He wanted to hand over all the power to the prince, who would supervise the country, and retired to recuperate from his illness.

So go to the prince if you have anything to do, the change must be implemented.

The young and strong officials, especially the low-level officials from the six ministries, are gearing up for a big job. If the cabinet delegates power to the six ministries, their workload will definitely increase, their power will also increase, and the speed of promotion will also be accelerated.

Well, it really is better to reform.

And the officials who have been using their positions to collect money and convenience are in cold sweat, and their powers are changed. Then they must check the case files when they are handed over, and then...

All the officials cried, wondering if it is too late to resign now?

When Gu Jingyun stepped out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sun was already westward. He turned around and supported the staggering Qin Xinfang, "Uncle, let me take you out of the palace."

After the court meeting lasted for a long time, Qin Xinfang's face turned green, he nodded slightly, leaned half of his weight on Gu Jingyun's body, and let him help him out.

The rest of the elders were also helped out by their subordinates or younger officials. Fortunately, this kind of grand court meeting is rarely encountered once in a few years, otherwise they would have to hang here.

Even Gu Jingyun suspected that the emperor did it on purpose.

Deliberately keeping them in such high-intensity meetings makes them have to agree to change. Of course, this was just a suspicion, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The Qin family and Erlin both drove their carriages and waited outside the palace. Because of Qin Xinfang's high status, the Qin family's carriage was in the first row. Gu Jingyun directly helped him into the carriage, and when he went out and saw Erlin's carriage, he opened the carriage Lian said: "I'm going to the Qin residence, you go to the academy to pick up your wife and go home."

Er Lin responded, and quickly turned his horse's head to follow the Qin Mansion's carriage out.

Gu Jingyun poured a cup of hot water for Qin Xinfang, took his palm and pressed it a few times, and put it down when he saw that the blood had returned to his face, "Do you want to call a doctor for you?"

Qin Xinfang shook her head, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm old, but I'm so tired from the court meeting for half a day."

He looked at Gu Jingyun, who was still calm and calm, nodded slightly and said, "It's good for you to practice martial arts with Bai Yitang. I think there are several people in the palace who are stronger than you and they can't bear it... It's good if they don't hold real power," Qin Xinfang sighed. Said: "The ups and downs of the officialdom, the change of power, not only exhausted the mind but also the body. It's not bad that you are happy now, but why did you get involved in this matter again?"

Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "It's time to talk. Although I brought up the matter, I will not participate. Don't worry, uncle, they can't catch me."

"You should be more careful. By the way, when will your mother and Yitang come back?" Qin Xinfang frowned and said: "Although I agreed to their marriage, but the sixth ceremony only entered the third ceremony, how can they stay outside? Even if They are not afraid of rumors and shouldn't be so nonsense, let them come back quickly and complete the remaining three rituals, where do they want to go when they are married?"

Gu Jingyun coughed lightly and said: "Master came back with a letter, saying that they are building a house for the master, and they will return to Beijing after making arrangements for the master and the wife. Baolu and I are already preparing marriage things for them, don't worry, uncle." .”

Qin Xinfang nodded in satisfaction, and turned to care about her nephew, "You and Chunxi are not young anymore, and you can have a child. Not to mention your master, I don't think your mother will be content in the capital, so why don't you take advantage of it?" Seeing that your aunt and I still have the energy, hurry up and have a baby, and we can help you with it..."

Gu Jingyun looked surprised, it was the first time he was given birth to a child, and he was very surprised.

You must know that in the past few years, his uncle and aunt have all told him not to consummate the house prematurely, so as not to hurt his health and harm his heirs. This is the first time someone has urged him to have a child.

Gu Jingyun was stunned, and he couldn't recover until he got home.

Li Baolu stretched out her hand and waved in front of him, and asked worriedly: "Is someone in the court targeting you? I heard that you had such a quarrel that you nearly toppled the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and even lunch is served in the hall." ?”

Gu Jingyun came back to his senses, held her hand and said, "It has nothing to do with this, it's uncle." He looked up at Li Baolu with piercing eyes and said, "Uncle urged us to have a baby, saying that he and aunt are free to help We take the kids."

Li Baolu's eyes widened, she didn't understand how the topic changed from court affairs to here, she was a little afraid to meet Gu Jingyun's fiery eyes, her gaze wandered for a while and stammered: "This is not something we can decide Bar……"

They didn't use contraception either. At first Li Baolu calculated the safety period and avoided it on purpose, but within two months, Gu Jingyun completely disrupted her, because it was difficult for her to stop him.

So in the end, she let him mess around, but she never got pregnant.

Li Baolu thought it was luck.

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth turned slightly, he hugged her from behind, put his chin on her shoulder and smiled and said: "Although we can't decide, we can work hard, I think the more times we try, the more we can win?"

Li Baolu shook her head, and said with a serious face: "This is a wrong perception, from a medical point of view..."

Gu Jingyun gagged her, and rolled her onto the couch with her in his arms. Of course, he knew that the more the better, indulgence would actually reduce the pregnancy rate, but he thought it should be low. They are still young, and the child's business is not important. Urgent, but he just needs a reason.
