There are people in this world who carry forward with heavy burdens, and naturally there are people who are born with a golden spoon.

Zhao Huai, also known as Emperor Taichang, had the world's largest golden spoon in his mouth.

Less than an hour after he was born, he became the Emperor of Daqing.

According to existing historical records, the youngest emperor was the last emperor of Dayu thousands of years ago, who became emperor at the age of two.

Therefore, Emperor Taichang broke a series of records. The emperor who ascended the throne at the smallest year, month, and hour, no matter whether he did good or bad in the future, would definitely be recorded in the history books.

today.

On April 16, the filial piety of the new monarch ends.

Emperor Taichang, who didn't know that he would leave his name in history, officially went to court for the first time.

Before dawn at Maoshi, Emperor Taichang was lying in the arms of the Empress Dowager, accepting the worship of civil and military officials.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Hundreds of officials, clan relatives, eunuchs, etc., according to the size of their official positions, filled the inside and outside of the Hall of Qinzheng, shouting and shouting in unison, which was deafening.

"Cluck..."

Emperor Taichang laughed happily, as if he was very satisfied with the officials.

In fact, it is not the case. Children who are not yet full-term and have not yet started to learn to speak, how can they know whether they are dissatisfied, just because the queen mother caressed their buttocks with her fingers.

During the filial piety, the Empress Dowager trained Emperor Taichang subtly.

You have to cry when you twist the flesh on your buttocks, and you have to laugh when you gently touch it, otherwise you will keep pinching hard.

Children are mentally retarded, so it is easier to train them. Soon Emperor Taichang formed a conditioned reflex, and under the guidance of the Queen Mother, he should cry and laugh.

The officials didn't know the reason, and called Taichang Emperor a child prodigy who was born with knowledge!

The queen mother said: "Everyone loves you in peace."

All the officials got up and waited quietly, and the servant waiting on the side shouted in the voice of a male duck: "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do!"

"The minister has this play..."

Jiang Yuanwailang, a member of the household department, came out and said, "I will report to the Queen Mother that there is a severe drought in Liangzhou. We must allocate money and food as soon as possible to prevent refugees from congregating and causing disasters."

The knowledgeable officials frowned, Liangzhou is located on the coast, what kind of drought is happening at this time of year?

Zhou Yi, who was the head of the eunuch, frowned, and glanced at Xiao Luzi, who was walking behind the household department.

The queen mother has lived in the boudoir and the deep palace for a long time, how could she understand the seasons and climate, and when she heard the drought in Liangzhou, she thought she should allocate food to relieve the disaster, she nodded in agreement.

"Quickly allocate money and food, the mourning family can see that the people will not suffer."

Jiang Yuanwailang glanced at Tang Mingyuan, saw the elder nodding his head slightly, bowed and said: "I obey the order, the empress dowager is merciful, and the people of Liangzhou will be grateful."

The Empress Dowager looked happy, thinking that governing the country was nothing more than that.

If disaster relief is necessary, disaster relief should be provided, if taxes should be collected, taxes should be collected, and with the support of the common people, the seat must be secure.

"The Ai family still has some money for themselves. Once it is sent to Liangzhou, there must be no delay."

The voice did not fall.

Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry came out and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the minister Shen Zou deceived the Holy Majesty, and attempted to embezzle money and food for disaster relief. He should be punished for his crime!"

The queen mother expressed doubts, the money has not been allocated, how can one be convicted of corruption?

Li Shilang explained: "In April and May, Liangzhou is in the rainy season, and there will never be a drought."

The Empress Dowager heard that her eyebrows were upside down, and she let the officials play like monkeys for the first time when she came to court, so she will not have the prestige to be a regent in the future.

"Master Jiang, Aijia asks you, is there any drought in Liangzhou?"

"I...don't know."

Jiang Yuanwailang knelt on the ground and explained: "The minister learned the news from An Gongbo, who walked in the household department, so he applied to the imperial court for disaster relief according to the existing procedures."

coming!

Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Tang Mingyuan for a long time, his face was as calm as water.

The nine permanent servants under the late emperor's command, the servants in the East Factory and the West Factory have already been punished for their crimes, and those who served in the Six Departments have not yet been abolished.

The third department is unreasonable in its actions. If you say you are guilty, you are guilty. The sixth department pays attention to procedures.

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Eunuch Lu, and asked, "Uncle An Gong, is there such a thing?"

Eunuch Lu had a gloomy face, and quickly figured out an excuse, and said: "Report to the Queen Mother, our family also received a secret report from the servants, and was deceived, please punish the Queen Mother!"

A godfather is not a godfather, as long as the power is in hand, there will be countless godfathers in the future.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and retorted: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has only the responsibility of supervision and has no right to participate in matters. Uncle An Gong acted beyond his authority, and he should be dismissed according to the law."

Another official from the Ministry of Rites came out and said: "Uncle An Gong's residence exceeds the limit..."

Officials came out one after another, counting the evidence of Mr. Lu's crimes, and the piles of evidence are convincing, which is enough to make a verdict.

Gain's servant has long been expelled from the family tree, and the family members of the nine clans have not been implicated.

Eunuch Lu was powerless to refute, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked at Zhou Yi pleadingly.

At this time, only Dugong can save his life!

Seeing the siege by hundreds of officials, the Empress Dowager quickly figured out that the six departments wanted to use An Gong Boxu to report the drought and expelled him from the household department.

Tang Mingyuan was the head of the Six Departments of the court, and the queen mother asked directly.

"Tang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Tang Mingyuan came out and said: "When you return to the Queen Mother, you can transfer Lugong to the Ministry of Punishment, and all crimes will be tried according to the laws of the country."

The implication is that Eunuch Lu deserves to die.

The Empress Dowager was about to nod her head in agreement, the mere eunuch died, it was not worth confronting the Six Departments.

"Then it depends on..."

"Report to the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Yi came out and said: "Eunuch Lu was also deceived by others, and he can be punished for thinking about his mistakes. His crime will not be sent to the Ministry of Punishment."

The queen mother hugged Emperor Taichang, and was not angry because the governor interrupted her speech, but was puzzled.

During these days when the first emperor was in mourning, in order to truly exercise the power of regent, the queen mother carefully sorted out the forces in the court and China, thinking about whether they were enemies or friends, and whether their relationship was far or near.

Among them, Dongchang and Jiuchangshi are absolutely hostile, and the latter has divided the power of Dongchang, so after the death of the first emperor, Duke Du directly beheaded Eunuch Wu.

Why did Duke Du speak kindly for Eunuch Lu today?

Without thinking, Tang Mingyuan guessed Duke Zhou's sinister intentions, and said in a deep voice, "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Is it true that a mere castrate is more valuable than your majesty and princes?"

Zhou Yi did not refute Tang Mingyuan, no matter from which aspect the "criminal evidence" was discussed, Eunuch Lu would definitely die, but he said to the Queen Mother.

"Eunuch Lu is the son of the former emperor after all, His Majesty's brother, the queen mother must be careful!"

What are siblings?

The humerus of the body is the extension of force!

The Empress Dowager instantly understood what the Dugong said, and after a little thought, she understood that the six divisions were within her power. No wonder the former emperor wanted to serve as a servant despite the disapproval of the world.

When power is involved, the crime is not important!

"The Dugong is right, so how should we deal with it?"

Zhou Yi bowed and said: "Dongchang can investigate privately, which will not only not condone the criminals, but also preserve the face of the royal family."

Tang Mingyuan was about to speak when the Empress Dowager stroked Emperor Taichang's back.

cluck cluck!

The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty is so happy, obviously he doesn't want to kill brothers, so the Dugong will handle the case."

Zhou Yi bowed and said, "The servant obeys the order."

Eunuch Lu survived death, kowtowed to thank him, and several servants entered the hall and dragged him away.

Knowing that he will not convict Eunuch Lu, but he still has to do something to prevent the common people from gossiping.

After the investigation, it was clear that Eunuch Lu was not guilty, and he was punished with three cups!

Major issues were agreed upon, and a few more matters were discussed later, all of which were handled according to what the officials said.

For example, a new policy involving the opening of an imperial bank under the leadership of the Ministry of Household Affairs sounds like a competition for the interests of the people. The Queen Mother and the governor thought it was not a big deal, so they passed the proposal directly.

Sanchaoshi.

Most of the officials of the six ministries had gloomy faces, and from time to time they glanced coldly at the crowd of eunuchs, cursing in their hearts that the late emperor deserved his death.

The first emperor conferred titles on officials for his servants, added officials to titles, and only then did the eunuchs have the qualifications to go to the court to discuss matters.

Du Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites approached Tang Mingyuan and asked in a low voice, "Master Tang, do you want to continue investigating the Sixth Attendant? It is difficult to eliminate him with the protection of the Duke."

"If the nails stuck in the bones are not pulled out, no matter how beautiful the skin is, it will not be able to hide the pain."

Tang Mingyuan said: "Continue to investigate the Sixth Attendant, I have my own way to make the governor ignore the affairs of the court."

the other side.

All the servants surrounded the governor, like stars holding the moon.

The remaining five walked around nodding and bowing their heads. Due to the face of the former emperor, they could not worship as godfathers, so they called themselves "little ones" in front of the Duke Du.

"Jie jie jie..."

Zhou Yi smiled smugly, today's court battle has won a complete victory.

With the Liuchang Attendant in his hands, the power of the East Factory will substantively infiltrate into the Six Departments. In the future, Tang Mingyuan will be defeated, and the governor will have the final say inside and outside the court.

balance?

Zhou Yi has killed two emperors, and his life is the greatest balance.

The loneliest group among the crowd in the next court is undoubtedly the Zhao family members. Whether the prince or the father-in-law, they all shrink their heads and reduce their sense of existence.

I'm afraid that Dongchang and Liubu will catch the handle and send them to the dungeon and sky prison.

Zhou Dugong and Tang Ge Lao Chaotang fought so fiercely that they almost pointed their noses at each other and scolded each other. However, whichever clan dared to speak up immediately joined hands to press down.

The struggle will always exist and never stop, and the two sides of the struggle will change at any time.

There is no distinction between right and wrong, closeness and closeness, only interests!

I fell asleep while writing last night, and made up this morning
