Chapter 702 The Prince's Means
Wang Pu started his business with his writings. After Fan Zhi was dismissed from prime minister, he served as prime minister. During the Southern and Western Expeditions, Chai Rong stayed in the capital, regulated yin and yang, and planned.
There was no shortage of food in front of the army, and there was no change in the people behind him. He was loyal and diligent, upright, kind and kind, and had the style of an ancient gentleman. He was not as good as the prestige and skill, and was not as good as the classics, and his talent and strategy, but not as good as Wei Renpu.
But among these three, the only one who is silent, Wang Pu is the most stable and trusted and trusted... No one is scattered by God's gift. Wang Pu is so safe because of his caution. In a word, he is working hard!
The Shu Road was built and the road to the Western Regions were built. More than three million civilians were used in the front and back. In order to support the battle of more than 100,000 people in front, 300,000 livestock were concentrated, and another one million civilians were collected.
There are countless inns, military stations, and cargo warehouses along the way. There is a huge sand table in Wang Pu's duty room, filled with small flags. Different colors represent different functions. Thousands of buildings are all in Wang Pu's heart.
If you wait ten or twenty years longer and march towards the Western Regions, it will be natural. However, the Great Zhou cannot wait, and the Han people in the Western Regions cannot afford to wait... There is no way, and you can only do ten years of work in a year!
"The Prime Minister is exhausted!"
Fan Zhi had no choice but to look at his hair, which had already turned white, and he couldn't help but feel exhausted.
"The emperor is wise and the court is full of fierce ministers. There are so many difficulties. The king is the most difficult... Now you leave and don't care about the matter. Who can help you with this difficulty?"
Fan Zhi smiled bitterly for a while and looked at the rest of the masters. What should he do?
When there was a Zhengshi Hall, the prime minister had the seal under the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. When the prime minister left, the second replacement was... But the problem was that the Zhengshi Hall was abolished. The cabinet was the emperor's secretary, so he could only make suggestions and had no power to make decisions. In other words, the cabinet did not have the seal representing decision-making power.
During the Western Expedition, Chai Rong granted Wang Pu a large seal to stay. This seal could represent the emperor and issue orders. All government affairs should be given to Wang Pu. Except for necessary military and national affairs, they should be urgently handed over to the Western Regions, all other common affairs were handed over to Wang Pu. As for the cabinet's officials, they all shared government affairs under the control of Wang Pu.
The situation is very clear. Although they are all colleagues, the left-behind is like a state-man, and they are completely at different levels from other husbands.
Wang Pu suddenly went, what should I do?
As the only two remaining old ministers, Xue Juzheng pondered: "Mr. Fan, you must ask Your Majesty to decide this matter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Duoxun spoke, "Grandpa Xue, although you and I know that the more rewarded you are in accordance with merit, the more complicated the situation is. If you are not ready, those arrogant soldiers and generals will still dismantle the branch? We are now asking for an order and we will be at least two months away. What should we do if we do this gap?"
Xue Juzheng has no majesty, but he is not easily bullied by the younger generation. He said unhappily: "According to the rules, following the rules, you won't make any mistakes!"
"What rules? Lu Duxun immediately said: "The rules of Wang Xianggong, every stone of food and a pair of armor must be approved by the Prime Minister. If there is no seal, go to the warehouse to allocate. Is it considered greedy? Li Gu and Li Xianggong's insight is not far away. Do we have to repeat the same mistake?"
"you!"
Xue Juzheng's old face turned red in an instant, and Lu Duosun was really aggressive!
"What should I do when Secretary Lu thinks?"
He bit the word "Shangshu" very much, and the implication is that you have to know your identity!
But Lu Duosun didn't care. Anyway, the Political Affairs Hall was abolished. In principle, the ministers of each department were the highest officials under the emperor. He was the Minister of the Du Branch, second only to the Ministry of Personnel. He was in charge of the money bags and would not be afraid of a deceased person in the cabinet!
"It's very clear. The emperor is not in the capital and stays behind the immortals. He can only invite the prince's chief supervisor to temporarily hold the seal and wait for the saint's will!"
"What?"
As soon as this statement was made, the Chief Censor Han Xizai immediately stood up.
"Shu Lu, the crown prince is just ten years old this year. How can he hold the seal? Isn't this treating the great affairs of the court like a joke?"
"The prince is half the king!" Lu Duoxun knocked on the table and said, "Although the prince is still at the age of age, he is eager to learn and intelligent, and everyone knows it. Let the prince take the seal, and we will assist us from the side and wait for the emperor's will. Is there anything else Han Zhongcheng said?"
Han Xizai was speechless when asked. Indeed, what Lu Duosun said was reasonable, but it was not appropriate!
How did Queen Fu die not long ago?
If the emperor refuses to give, no one can rob it!
Especially the prince!
Where does the matter of regulating the country without authorization?
Han Xizai has learned a lot, so he can naturally see that Lu Duosun's wishful thinking is to use this to push the prince out and make a lot of bets on the prince. He is young, has contributions and has the means. If he is favored by the future emperor, he will have no worries in his future.
The problem is that you are willing to bet, but we can't accompany you to seek death!
Even if Chai Rong can’t do anything to his son, what should he do if he vents anger on us?
Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao also stood up and expressed their opposition.
But Lu Duosun is not alone, including Shen Yilun and Dou Yi, who actually support his ideas.
Both sides immediately became tense.
Fan Zhi's head immediately became three rounds bigger!
When Wang Pu was there in the past, he sat in the middle. Even if he didn't say anything, the princes in the court did not dare to go too far. However, Wang Pu was gone, and these people immediately started to make trouble. What's even more terrible is that no one could stop him!
Five years ago, Fan Zhi might have been suppressing others with his qualifications, but now he is old and has lost his temper, not to mention that even if he wants to suppress it, he may not be able to suppress it.
What should I do about this?
"Mr. Fan, let me say something too much. The emperor's victory in the Western Regions will not attract gossip when he lets the prince take charge of the seal at this moment. On the contrary, if we ministers do not have the order, they will just advocate it casually. This is the way to cause disaster, and it is even more unconvincing! At present, more than 100,000 troops are still in the Western Regions, and the road is under construction. There are so many things that we can't stop for a moment!"
Lu Duosun knocked on the table, "The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least. What matters are the most important nowadays, you will not be unclear. If you destroy the overall situation of the Western Regions just because of your own selfishness, you will not be able to explain to the people of the world!"
Lu Duosun pressed forward step by step, and Han Xizai and others couldn't stand it, so they could only look at Fan Zhi as if they were begging.
As an old minister and the head of the six ministries, Fan Zhi took a deep breath.
"Oh, please... Your Highness come here!"
...
Some time ago, Guo Zongxun got 300 Dangxiang teenagers, and he got some clever accounting from Fu San to be responsible for teaching.
Over this period, more than a dozen teenagers have been able to use abacus skillfully, and the speed is not very fast, but Guo Zongxun thinks it is acceptable.
Anyway, he had plenty of time. Guo Zongxun made friends with his classmates and went to Dazhou School to communicate with teachers and students there. After Guo Xing left, he replaced Guo Xing, took care of Ye Da and Ye Er, and often went to Ye's mansion to greet the ancestors.
Occasionally he also went to see Fu Yanqing, but it didn't take long each time. At most, he would come over in the morning and have a meal and come back quickly.
In short, he was careful, running his own circle, trying hard to make friends with everyone, and adhering to the prince's duties, and dared not go beyond the slightest.
Inside and outside the court, there was a turbulent undercurrent and there was no stop. Guo Zongxun could detect that someone was approaching him, but he did not dare to easily. Moreover, he knew that only the father and the emperor decided his position!
There are only two or three people who can influence the decision of the father.
Those who have come here have little meaning to him.
Guo Zongxun just wants to grow up silently, but sometimes, he will come to him by himself, such as this time!
"Your Highness, the King of Kings suddenly left. At this moment, there are no leaders in the court. I think your Highness should do his duty to stay!" Lu Duoxun said, his eyes full of glory.
Guo Zongxun seemed a little slow. After a long time, he realized it. The little guy raised his head and said foolishly: "Where is the will of the father? Where is the will of the father?"
"Cough cough!" Lu Duosun coughed and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, you have already written a letter to request your decree to descend. It is only a time to go back and forth. Before the emperor's decree arrives, please ask your highness to take charge in the cabinet for the time being."
"How can that be done?" Guo Zongxun suddenly said: "I have to go to school! In another month, it will be the final exam. I only ranked seventh last time, and this time I must enter the top three! My uncle has always been ranked first in the exam, and even Ye Xi can get first in class every day. I can't let them compete!"
These couples looked at each other and were speechless. Isn’t this just a child?
Han Xizai said: "Shu Lu, don't force others to do anything!"
Lu Duosun rolled his eyes, "If the prince doesn't let the seal, can you, Mr. Han, be the one who stays at the left?"
With one sentence, Han Xizai's face turned pale. He shook his sleeves hard and turned his head.
At this time, Lu Duoxun said to the prince again: "Your Highness, state affairs are urgent, and it is really impossible to delay. The seal left behind can only be handed over to your highness... Please rest assured that Mr. Fan, Mr. Xue, Han, Han Zhongcheng, and ministers will assist you."
Guo Zongxun still didn't understand it, and Lu Duoxun didn't care about that much, so he simply let Guo Zongxun carry the seal directly.
"Your Highness, please take up your seat!"
Guo Zongxun was arranged in the middle, and the other ministers bowed to salute together. Even if the prince was in charge of government affairs, everyone brought in many official documents and memorials, as if they were about to start discussing matters.
Guo Zongxun seemed to have woken up from the shock, and he tentatively said, "What are you going to discuss? Can I say a few words first?"
"Your Highness has any instructions, just say it!"
Guo Zongxun paused, with tears in his eyes, "I heard that Wang Jiagong has gone. He is loyal and his father trusts him very much. He is a respected old minister. Lu Jiagong, you will be the leader to deal with Wang Jiagong's funeral!"
Lu Duosun hesitated for a moment and agreed, "This is my duty!"
"That's great!" Guo Zongxun didn't give him the space to continue talking. He picked up the seal and went to Fan Zhi in front of him in three or two steps.
"Grandpa Lu will handle the funeral, and then the state affairs will be left to Grandpa Fan!" Guo Zongxun clapped his hands, "You are busy, I still have to go to class!"
