King Xiao himself holds the military power, and the power is all over the world. If he is in power again, he will be the first person in Dongwen's name. Even if he does not ascend the throne and become emperor, he is no different from the emperor.
King Xiao's regency was largely the result of the struggle between the Queen, the First Prince and Xiao Zian, and it was a choice everyone had no choice but to do.
Although the right and the others went out of the city to welcome King Xiao back to Beijing to govern in person, it did not mean that they sincerely hoped that King Xiao would be regent. In fact, most of the people in the court did not want King Xiao to be regent, but they had no choice.
After the emperor was in a coma, there was no one in charge of Dongwen. After the prince fell, the three major factions fought fiercely for power. The six factions could only maintain basic operations, and many things could not be handled. First mess up.
At this time, Dongwen must have someone stand up to preside over the overall situation and suppress the queen and others, otherwise they will be slaves to the country.
Therefore, even if the people on the right no longer wanted King Xiao to be regent, they still went out of the city to welcome King Xiao back, and immediately handed over the power to King Xiao after King Xiao entered the palace.
Those with political acumen like the Right Prime Minister know very well that even if they do not act, the power will eventually fall into the hands of King Xiao.
On the first day of returning to Beijing, with the cooperation of the right and others, Xiao Wang took over the government affairs smoothly, but everyone knew that when Xiao Wang took over the government affairs, it did not mean that everything was fine.
During this time, there was a backlog of government affairs in the six ministries, and many orders that should have been implemented long ago were also delayed because of the struggle between the three factions. The officials below were full of complaints. Although they dared not speak out in person, they were still dissatisfied in their hearts. At this time, if King Xiao couldn't put things right, he would lose his heart, and the tall image he had built up in the past would also collapse.
If this kind of thing is done well, it means that the ability is extraordinary, and King Xiao's reputation will definitely rise to a new level. But everything has two sides. If you don't do it well, King Xiao's reputation will be ruined, and it will be much harder to take over power in the future.
It can be said that what Xiao Wang took over was a mess. Not only was there a lot of things, but the officials of the six departments were not as cooperative as they thought.
After all, not everyone is as shrewd as the Right Prime Minister, and not everyone can be like the Right Prime Minister. After the emperor's accident, he immediately fell to King Xiao without any psychological burden.
Except for the matter of King Xiao, the emperor has performed extremely well in these years, and can even be said to be wise, and the courtiers have a high evaluation of the emperor. Moreover, the emperor has been in power for decades, and there are many confidants. These people are not like Lin Xiang, who is used by the emperor as a sword and stabbed at political enemies at any time. Most of these people are reused by the emperor and placed in key positions.
Rao is also Xiao Tianyao who has to say that the emperor has a useful vision, and there are many capable people under him. When the emperor is unconscious, the queen and others are only busy in the moment of seizing power, and it is really not easy to keep the six divisions running normally.
It can be appreciated and appreciated. When Xiao Wang found that the cooperation of the six people was extremely low, he still couldn't help but have the urge to kill the chicken and set an example.
There was a backlog of official documents from various ministries, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household couldn't do anything except for daily affairs.
The army stationed in the Northern Calendar reported a report on the pension for disabled soldiers as early as a month ago, but so far they have not come up with a statement.
The envoys of Northern Li arrived in Dongwen early, and they handed over the letter for more than half a month, but no one asked, let alone sent someone to negotiate with them.
One after another, they are all urgent and important matters, but unless King Xiao has the ability to clone himself, it is impossible for him to do these things well by himself.
Xiao Tianyao had always only been in charge of military power before, and under the precaution of the emperor's intentional or unintentional, he never took over the power. Although the officials of the Sixth Department did not dare to sing against Xiao Wang in person, they could perfunctory, shirk, or use rules and old rules. Drag into progress.
Doing so not only makes people unable to make mistakes, but also discourages people.
Although Xiao Tianyao took over government affairs for the first time, he did not understand everything. Because now he still wants the officials of the Sixth Department to do things, knowing that they are doing bad things, he can't do anything with them, and he feels disgusting just thinking about it.
The officials of the six departments cooperated on the surface, but kept using small tactics in private, so that it was easy for Xiao Tianyao to take over government affairs, but it was very difficult to deal with it. On the first day of taking over government affairs, Xiao Tianyao was entangled in government affairs, and he didn't even have time to leave the palace gate.
In the evening, the father-in-law who was waiting outside saw that Xiao Tianyao did not move at all in the house. He was afraid that the father was hungry, so he hesitated and went in boldly.
You must know that this grandfather has not even used lunch since he entered the palace. It would be a disaster for them to be hungry.
Xiao Tianyao noticed as soon as the little eunuch came in, but he didn't raise his head, he just thought he was the servant who came in to change candles and cut the hearts of the candles.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Tianyao put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked.
The little eunuch was startled, knelt on the ground with a pounce, and said tremblingly: "My lord, it's getting late, do you want to pass the meal?"
The little eunuch regretted it as soon as he came in. If he didn't eat for a day, he wouldn't starve to death, but if he made King Xiao dissatisfied, he would probably die here.
"Dinner? What time is it?" Xiao Tianyao realized that it was completely dark.
"If you go back to the prince, it's already three quarters of your time." The meal time had already passed. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come in with his hair hard.
"It's so late?" It's past the meal time at the palace, and I wonder if Lin Chujiu has waited for him to eat
"It's too late to go back to the lord, do you want to pass the meal?" The little eunuch didn't dare to say, if you want to go back to the mansion, judging from the posture of the lord, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sleep tonight.
"Let's pass it on, and then send someone to Xiao Wang's mansion to say that this king will not return to the mansion tonight." This is the outer palace. When the government is busy, the emperor will also let the ministers rest here.
"Yes, my lord." The little eunuch got the order, didn't dare to stop for a moment, and stepped back.
Soon the palace maid sent King Xiao's case, Xiao Tianyao took a few sips at will, and ordered someone to remove the food and continue the unfinished work.
In Xiao Wang's mansion, Lin Chujiu, who had been waiting for Xiao Tianyao to return to the mansion for dinner, waited until he was hungry, waited until the dishes on the table were all cold, and only waited for the news that King Xiao would not return to the mansion tonight.
"Understood, let's go." Lin Chujiu's expression remained unchanged, but the pearls, agate, and Butler Cao, who was trying to shrink himself, only felt that the rain was coming...
