Yin Shuo paused.
He looked at the young lord. He was once the only son of the first emperor. He was considered the crown prince a long time ago. He has been a noble dignity since he was born.
This dignity makes him proud, even frivolous, and feels that everything is right.
Even though he was imprisoned as a prisoner who had assassinated the Emperor Xian, he had not been able to wear away this inherent dignity.
It's not that time is long enough, and the torment is not enough.
Unlike the great prince at the time, he knew what the name Ning Yizhao meant from the time he was sensible, and he knew how to fight hard to get what he wanted.
This is also the reason why Yin Shuo chose Ning Chengzhi, not only because of his solid relationship by marriage, but also because he controls much better than the eldest prince.
But today...
Yin Shuo realized that he had doubts in Ning Chengzhi's eyes for the first time, and became a person who might threaten his monarchy.
Although this kind of doubt is even more daunting without Gu Huaijiang's military power, nor is it more annoying to rely on the old and sell the old, such as Ji Daogong and Chen Ge, after all, it has formed.
Once some things have started, they are difficult to clean up later.
Yin Shuo immediately changed his face and smiled mildly, "Your Majesty, the minister does not mean that. Your Majesty is willing to hand over the position of the chief minister of the cabinet to the minister, and the minister is grateful. The minister is only worried that Gu Huaijiang will have a plan, and he is afraid that his majesty will be on the big treasure for the first time. It's his deeds."
Ning Chengzhi's suspicion is still there, "Oh? What do you think Gu Hou said is wrong, what's wrong with abolishing the prime minister's cabinet?"
Yin Shuo said without hesitation: "Before answering this question, the minister would like to ask your majesty first. Your majesty has appointed the candidate for the chief minister of the cabinet. What about the second minister and the other ministers?"
Ning Chengzhi said: "The second assistant is naturally Mr. Chen Ge. You know, he is also a great hero when I can become the throne, and he is very famous in the DPRK. The courtiers originally wanted him to be the chief assistant. His position as a second assistant is stable. What's more, he did have this talent during the period when Chen Ge was in charge of the cabinet. As for the other cabinet ministers who were carefully selected by the first emperor for a long time, there is no need to change."
In other words, with the exception of Yin Shuo, the first assistant of the airborne, there is no change in the cabinet.
Yin Shuo gave a thud in his heart.
Listening to Ning Chengzhi's tone, he could trust Elder Chen Ge. If he were not worried that these veterans would not obey the will, he might even hand over the position of chief assistant to Elder Chen.
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right, the minister can now answer your majesty's questions. Gu Hou said that the prime minister's authority is not as good as the division of power in the cabinet, which is more beneficial to the stability of the country. The minister does not deny that Gu Hou is right, but Has your Majesty ever thought about why he said this? Is it really just for the stability of the community?"
Ning Chengzhi was speechless for a while.
Not for the stability of the community, but for what else? Could it be...
He raised his head, "You mean, there is Guhou's selfishness here?"
"certainly."
Yin Shuo smiled, "Your Majesty, think about it, those veterans in the cabinet, especially Mr. Chen Ge, he and Mr. Du Yushi Ji used to be in a superior relationship, Mr. Ji respected him very much, they were one mind. Once Your Majesty will set up a cabinet to abolish the prime minister, and Gu Hou can use Chen Ge's elders and them to restrain your majesty from setting up the post. If your majesty wants to set up the Princess Zhenjiang as the queen, I am afraid it will be difficult."
Speaking of Yufu, Ning Chengzhi straightened up immediately, "How could it be? You are the chief assistant of Zhenli. You preside over the cabinet. How can those veterans hinder the decision-making after Lili?"
Yin Shuo sighed deliberately, "Your Majesty, even if the minister is the chief assistant, how can one fight against many ministers? What's more, the ministers are young and have to fight against the veterans. Wouldn't it make people argue that the ministers do not respect the chief? ?"
Ning Chengzhi suddenly realized, "You are right. I will not accept the advice of those veterans. They still talk about my disrespect of veterans, let alone you? How can this be good? I have already announced the establishment of a cabinet and abolition of the prime minister in the presence of the civil and military forces of Manchuria. , How do you talk back now?"
Anti-mouth
Yin Shuo sneered in his heart, Ning Chengzhi was born with such a noble status, but he didn't know how to be an emperor at all.
In the past, the prince stood shoulder to shoulder with him and even overwhelmed him. He still had some fear of restraining himself. Now he is on the throne without control, and he is even more unaware of advances and retreats.
"Of course it is impossible to retort. Your Majesty asks the cabinet ministers to disagree, but the cabinet ministers must be your Majesty's, not the emperor's..."
Ning Chengzhi nodded, "I understand. Once the emperor and the courtiers, I have no intention of reusing those veterans who are loyal to the emperor. They are not convinced by me, so it is better to send it out early. It's just that this matter can't be rushed. If people speak, I will slowly put the court in fresh blood."
He only said that he exchanged blood for the court and did not ask Yin Shuo to recommend candidates, which shows that he still has scruples in his heart.
Yin Shuo didn't dare to say anything. The best way to gain trust at this moment is to advance as a retreat. He can no longer cause trouble for himself and let Gu Huaijiang and his son succeed.
He became more respectful and said: "Yes, as long as the courtier obeys his majesty, the minister, the chief assistant, will be able to settle the political affairs."
Ning Chengzhi nodded with satisfaction, and turned back to face Chi justly: "You will go out of the palace and visit Elder Ji and Elder Chen Ge for me, saying that I want to visit the two elders personally. Please comfort the two elders for me, and see how they are sick by the way, and report to me truthfully."
Grandpa Chi bowed, he added: "Yes, bring a big reward, the bigger the show, the better! Let the courtiers and the people see that I am not disrespectful of the veterans, but both grace and power, and the rewards and punishments are distinct."
Yin Shuo is still smiling, "Your Majesty is wise."
Ning Chengzhi said: "I did this to appease the courtiers and the people, and also to pave the way for you to be the chief minister of the cabinet."
Yin Shuo handed over, "The minister thanked your Majesty for your care."
Ning Chengzhi was finally satisfied and waved to him, "Okay, your leg injury is not healed, so let's go back to the mansion to recuperate."
"The minister retires."
When the servant came in and pushed Yin Shuo into a wheelchair, Ning Chengzhi suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
After Yin Shuo had a meal, the servant turned his wheelchair over again, "What else does your Majesty give?"
Ning Chengzhi said, "How is Danyang in your house? I have vaguely heard that your husband and wife are not in harmony, are they?"
Yin Shuo was taken aback for a moment, wondering if anyone had said something in front of Ning Chengzhi.
After thinking about it, he didn't change his face and said: "Returning to your Majesty, Princess Danyang is your majesty's sister, and the ministers should be respectful. But there are inevitably some contradictions between husband and wife. Folk sayings say that the head of the bed fights at the end of the bed. This is also the case for ministers. A mortal cannot be perfect, but he never dares to be disrespectful to her."
Ning Chengzhi nodded, "I understand. I don't want to care about the affairs between your husband and wife. Don't lose your royal dignity."
Yin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, Ning Chengzhi's love for Princess Danyang, but Er Er.
Where did the royal children come from? But for decency.
Yin Shuo had anticipated this early, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Yes, the minister will be more respectful to the eldest princess in the future, after all, she is Dongling's most noble woman."
Ning Chengzhi waved his hand impatiently, "I said, Dongling's most noble woman is Yufu, how can Danyang compare to her? Even if Yufu has not yet become my queen, she is not comparable to Danyang. "
Yin Shuo smiled, noncommittal.
…
Grandpa Chi took Ning Chengzhi's reward, followed by a group of imperial forest soldiers, and went out of the palace with great fanfare.
The palace maidens were holding the rewards of Minghuang's lottery in their hands. They were very dazzling and dazzling. The people scrambled to watch along the way, and the news soon spread to the courtiers' residences.
Grandpa Chi took people to the mansion of Ji Dao Gong. Ji Dao just half-lied on the bed to study. Ji Xuanxian served beside Ji Dao and heard the sound of gongs and drums from a distance.
Ji Xuanxian walked out of the room strangely, "The old man is ill and needs to rest. What is it that beats the gongs and drums?"
The servants of the Ji Mansion rushed over, "Master, it was the reward from the palace, and Grandpa Chi who is next to your Majesty came in person!"
Ji Xuanxian was taken aback, and hurriedly turned into the house. Ji Daogong had heard the servant's words a long time ago.
"Father, you have said that you have been sick for so long. Your Majesty did not comfort him at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to insist on abolishing the cabinet. How come the cabinet has been established and the prime minister has been abolished, and Huraba sent someone to give you a reward?"
Ji Daogong was holding the book in his hand, unmoved, his mouth slowly said: "It's not surprising, the prime minister is abolished, and the position of the cabinet's chief assistant has not been determined. Your Majesty is here to calm people's hearts."
It has been spread in the middle of the kingdom long ago. His Majesty wanted to make Yin Shuo the first assistant of the cabinet, but he refused to listen to anyone recommend the first assistant in the golden palace.
Sitting on a small couch, Ji Daogong has always been very sensitive to the movements of the court, and he is also very clear about the mind of the young monarch Ning Chengzhi.
He put down the book and handed it to Ji Xuanxian. Ji Xuanxian immediately put the book on the shelf, and listened to Ji Dao’s sigh, "Choosing a good man, dare you believe that for the father, he knows that your majesty is soothing people’s hearts and not really caring about old officials. There is something in his heart. comfort."
After he finished speaking, he laughed, quite a bit self-deprecating.
Ji Xuanxian thought for a while, "Son understands that your majesty is willing to do superficial work, it is better than to run counter to the hundred officials. For today's majesty, we can't demand too much."
"Yes, you can't ask too much, you can't ask too much..."
Ji Daogong murmured, slowly lay down on the couch, and closed his eyes.
Ji Xuanxian sighed softly, stepped forward to put down the bed net, and went out to welcome the reward from the palace.
After not taking a few steps, seeing that Grandpa Chi led the crowds mightily come, the eyes were full of yellow and dazzling, Ji Xuanxian handed over, and Grandpa Chi also handed over.
After the two saw each other, Grandpa Chi smiled and said: "My lord, your Majesty has heard that Mr. Ji has been ill for a long time and has not improved. He wants to visit him in person. Who knows that the affairs of North Korea and China are busy, and the cabinet is abolished. It is just when the green and yellow are dead. Your Majesty specially ordered our family to bring a generous reward to visit the old man on behalf of your majesty. I don't know where the old man is now?"
Ji Xuanxian put his hands in the sky, "Weichen gave the rewards on behalf of his father, Xie, the emperor's grace is mighty!"
Then he said to Mrs. Chi, "My father is recuperating inside, and he knew it when he went in. It's just..." He looked at the long line behind Mrs. Chi, frowning slightly.
"My father is ill and needs to rest, and I also invite all the envoys to have tea in the side hall, so as not to disturb my father."
Grandpa Chi hurriedly said: "It should be, I will go in with the master, you all go down!"
The palace people and the imperial forest army both exited the yard. Ji Xuanxian personally led the father-in-law to walk in, with the corner of the bed tent opened, and father-in-chief stared at Ji Daogong's face.
The people who served at the front of the imperial court were very winking.
Ji Xuanxian is secretly worried that Ji Daogong is actually not sick, will he be spotted by Ji Daogong
Father Chi looked at it for a long while, and Ji Xuanxian pretended to calmly put down the bed tent before he raised his head reluctantly.
"Master, what is the disease of Master Ji?"
Ji Xuanxian raised his hand and said softly: "Father-in-law, please go outside to speak."
When the two walked out of the inner room, Ji Xuanxian sighed, "My father-in-law doesn't know anything. People are rare in the seventies. What kind of disease? What disease do you want to ask, I can't answer it!"
Speaking of opening the drawer of the book case in the outer room, he took out a large stack of prescriptions, "Look at it, these are all prescriptions prescribed to my father after the imperial physician came to see the doctor. Some said it was caused by wind evil in the body, some said it was a symptom of quenching thirst. Yes, it's also said to be old and weak. Look at it!"
Grandpa Chi took a look at the prescription, and sure enough, there were all medicines on it, which was dazzling.
He thought to himself that Ji Daogong closed his eyes just now, not knowing whether he was asleep or in a coma. He looked at his face and his breath was weak.
Where can elderly people in their seventies be healthy
There are always signs of weakness and decay. No matter how bad his eyes are, he can't see how sick he is, and he doesn't know how to explain it when he returns to the palace.
Now that I have these prescriptions, it's better to talk.
Grandpa Chi lowered his voice, "Why don't you say that seventy is an ancient year? Elder Ji is the eldest veteran in the court. In that case, our family will not bother you anymore. When the old man wakes up, he will pay. Please convey your majesty’s wishes."
Ji Xuanxian arched his hands and said: "That is natural, I will send my father-in-law out, please—"
…
"Thanks to your majesty's kindness, the old minister's illness is not a serious problem, and I must be able to go to court when the photo is opened. Please tell me your Majesty, please rest assured."
When Grandpa Chi arrived at Chen's Mansion, Chen Ge's reaction was different from Grandpa Ji Dao's. His face was a little pale, and his spirit was quite good. He vowed that he would return to court soon.
Grandpa Chi thought to himself, you are not at ease when you return to your Majesty.
Of course he would not confess this. He only smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares about Mr. Chen Ge, and the special servants come to visit Mr. Ge. Since Mr. Ge is about to heal, your Majesty can rest assured, and ask Mr. Ge to stay healthy and heal. Don't disappoint your Majesty Ron."
Old Chen Ge sat on the couch and tried his best to raise his hand to greet people, "If you come for tea, please sit down here."
Grandpa Chi just wanted to refuse. Chen Chuxiu walked from outside and smiled: "Father is sick and confused. Grandpa Chi was ordered to go out of the palace to do errands. How can I have time to sit here with you? Are you still ill, don't be afraid To the father-in-law after the illness?"
Father Chi knew that he was the only son of Mr. Chen Ge, and he hurriedly got up to meet him, "Young Master Chen is serious, but the servant is indeed anxious to return to the palace to return to his Majesty. He can't accompany Mr. Ge any more. The son must take good care of Mr. Ge."
Chen Chuxiu smiled slightly, "Definitely."
