At this moment, Jiang Shaohua's mood was agitated, ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
This Jinluan Hall is where the power of Daliang Chaotang gathers. Over the past two hundred years, a total of nine emperors have sat high on the dragon throne, wielding supreme imperial power and governing the government.
This is a world owned by men, and no woman has ever set foot there.
Today, she, Jiang Shaohua, stepped into the Golden Palace as the new emperor, and will start a new era. The majestic and ups and downs of this experience cannot be described in words.
In fact, the mood of the ministers was equally complicated.
Princess Nanyang had also gone to court to listen to government affairs and handle government affairs before. This was not the first time that they had bowed their heads and obeyed orders. But this time, it was very different.
The princess no longer manages the government for others, but is their new emperor!
A group of decades-old ministers have to bow down to a sixteen-year-old woman. The huge impact is still lingering in their hearts. Fortunately, his face was tight and it didn't show.
"Everyone, please stand up." Jiang Shaohua's firm and powerful voice broke the stagnation in the Jinluan Hall.
The ministers once again handed over their hands to express gratitude, and stood in rows according to their official positions as usual.
Jiang Shaohua has not officially ascended the throne, so he will not sit on the throne. A smaller chair was set up next to the dragon chair, and she calmly stepped forward and sat on it.
All the courtiers in the palace stood in awe, except Jiang Shaohua. This is the power and domineering power of King Lin Tianxia.
No one knows whether Jiang Shaohua was nervous or uneasy. Because no one dared to raise his head and look at her.
Prime Minister Wang and Duke An Guo failed to go to court, Li Shangshu closed his eyes forever, and the three most important people among the civil servants were missing.
Among the generals, General Bao is missing. As for General Song, he is still working hard to lead his troops back to the capital. It will take more than half a month to reach the capital.
In addition, a civil servant and two generals died on the day of the palace coup. Based on this calculation, there are five fewer important ministers who are eligible to participate in the small court meeting.
It happened to be filled in by the officials of Nanyang Palace.
Chen Changshi, Cui Du, Yang Zheng, Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong, exactly five. They did not stand at the front, but consciously stood at the rear.
There were also people from Wangshe who attended the Umrah meeting. No, it should be called Wang Zhongshu Ling now. Jiang Shaohua went to Wang's house yesterday and what he said has reached the ears of the courtiers.
According to the custom of small court meetings in the past, Prime Minister Wang usually opened his mouth first. Now that Prime Minister Wang is not here, whoever opens his mouth first will depend on Jiang Shaohua's wishes.
In the court, there is great emphasis on standing and the order of speaking. It is closely related to the official position and the holy family.
Zhang Shangshu was eager to open his mouth.
Jiang Shaohua glanced over, and the first person he clicked was Dong Shilang: "Li Shangshu died loyally to his country, and the post of Minister of Rites was vacant, so Dong Shilang filled it. The official official document will be done later. , Dong Shilang took the lead in handling matters related to the Ministry of Rites Get up."
Shilang Dong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and Su Rong held his hands: "I will do my job with all my heart, and I will never disappoint the princess' high expectations."
Shilang Dong... No, starting from today. , it’s time to call Dong Shangshu.
Dong Shangshu raised the flag for the princess, and it was a great achievement, so it was natural for the princess to use him as a supporter. The ministers had nothing to say about this. Only Zhang Shangshu felt unhappy. Theoretically speaking, there is no distinction between high and low among the six ministers, and their official positions are the same. In fact, there are differences among the six books. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion of hundreds of officials, and is naturally the first of the six departments. Next is the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of the country's money, grain, and taxes. Next is the Ministry of War, which controls the military. After that comes the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments, and the Ministry of Works comes last.
Prime Minister Wang is seriously injured and cannot go to court. The next prime minister should choose one from the six ministers. Zhang Shangshu believed that he was the most qualified.
Now Dong Shilang has become Dong Shangshu. This person is best at flattering the princess and flattering the princess. The princess wants to choose a new prime minister, but I'm afraid Dong Shangshu is his fierce rival!
Zhang Shangshu was muttering in his heart, and then heard the princess say again: "Zheng Shangshu has been injured in the leg, and the Zheng family is suspected of conspiracy. A case will be opened for interrogation in the future. The post of Minister of the Ministry of War will first be held by Ding Shilang Temporarily.”
Shilang Ding, who had always been as low-key as an invisible man, took a step forward under the shocked and jealous gaze of Shilang Wang, and thanked the princess for her kindness.
The ministers naturally noticed by this time that Minister Ding might have secretly taken refuge with the princess. He usually kept quiet, but now he was benefiting from it.
Jiang Shaohua continued: "Wang Sheren will be Zhongshu Ling from today on. Chen Sheren, when you are on duty in the future, you must obey Wang Zhongshu Ling's dispatch."
Chen Jinyu accepted the order.
This is not the first time that Chen Jinyu has gone to court with Jiang Shaohua. The ministers and even the empress readily accepted it. Now that a woman is a minister in the same palace, there is nothing they cannot accept. Everyone glanced at him one after another and acquiesced.
"Chen Changshi," Jiang Shaohua looked at the most familiar, closest, and most reliable minister: "From today on, you will stay in the palace and select the government affairs for this princess. The most important ones will be presented first."
Before Chen Changshi had time to accept the order, Zhang Shangshu could not bear it. He opened his mouth and said: "Princess, Chen Changshi is the chief historian of the palace, and he is a fifth-rank official. Even if the princess makes an exceptional promotion, he shouldn't be promoted to the position of prime minister several times in a row! This is not in line with the rules of the court!"< br>
The promotion of officials below the third rank is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. Even when appointing important ministers of third rank or above, official documents must be issued by the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, Zhang Shangshu's question can be said to be righteous and powerful.
Dai Shangshu, Zhou Shangshu and others also echoed: "What Zhang Shangshu said is true, but it is indeed against the rules."
"Princess, please think twice."
They can't stop the princess from ascending the throne as empress. However, when it comes to government affairs, there are many details that can be discussed.
In fact, who can come to power without having his own confidants? When Emperor Taihe was still alive, he asked his teenage companions to serve as ministers of the middle school, and the ministers lived in the Zhaohe Hall and accompanied the emperor to deal with memorials. Is it quite in line with the rules?
In the final analysis, this is the dissatisfaction of the ministers and the power they give to the princess.
Jiang Shaohua was neither impatient nor angry, and spoke calmly: "When I was in Nanyang County, I was used to Chen Changshi handling general affairs. Now that I am sitting here, I still use Chen Changshi."
< br>"As for the court rules you mentioned, I have no intention of making an exception. Prime Minister Wang is recuperating from his injuries. He will be able to return to the court when he recovers. The position of prime minister will naturally be reserved for him."
Ministers: "..."
Prime Minister Wang is so injured, how can he come back?
The princess made it clear that Prime Minister Wang should occupy the official position, and let Chen Changshi do all the actual errands of the Prime Minister. In this way, the "court rules" were not violated at all.
Zhang Shangshu was choked and speechless.
Dai Shangshu and Zhou Shangshu looked at each other and sighed secretly in their hearts. It seemed that the princess had anticipated and prepared for this. Let’s watch the Umrah meeting today! (End of chapter)
