The emperor sitting on the dragon chair put down his chopsticks when he saw that everyone was almost done eating.

   As soon as the prince waved his hand, a chamberlain stepped forward and took down the low table and food. The ministers were about to stand up when the emperor pressed his hand and said, "Sit down, sirs."

   Everyone was so tired after a long time, they immediately bowed to thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This time the great court meeting was held for too long, and the emperor was very tired. He glanced at the audience and sighed: "I have been in the hidden residence for more than 40 years, and since I became an adult, I have left the palace and opened the palace. , corruption and accepting bribes, asking for entrustment, deceitful and deceitful, yang and yin disobedience, false public and private, face to the wrong, all kinds of bad habits, all of which I have deep knowledge and insight. Therefore, I want to clarify the governance of officials and improve people's livelihood. The difference between them is extremely clear, and the instructions are not afraid of troubles, and the period of service is ten years of decadence, which is the foundation of justice. Although my ambition is grand, my physical difference cannot support it."

  The emperor looked down at the ministers, got up and stepped down from the dragon chair, supported the prince to the steps, stretched out his hand and asked, "I am in danger, are the ministers willing to help me?"

  The ministers immediately turned to face the emperor and knelt down, leaning over and said, "The ministers are willing to serve His Majesty, and then die!"

The emperor held the prince's hand tightly, looked at the blue sky outside the hall through the gate and said: "I propose to strengthen the supervision of the six departments under the authority, not for the king's leisure and enjoyment, but for the better governance of Chu, all the ministers. I know that if future generations are lazy, all the ministers have the right to write to impeach the emperor, as long as there is reason and evidence, you should listen."

   The last sentence was addressed to the prince.

  The prince knelt at the emperor's feet and said respectfully, "My son obeys the order, please ask the emperor to issue a warning to future generations."

  The emperor nodded slightly when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at the historian.

   The historian hurriedly knelt down and said, "This minister has recorded it, and he can issue an edict after he retreats."

"My health is not healthy, so the change will be left to the Crown Prince. In addition, all state affairs must go through the Crown Prince first, and the undecided matters of the Crown Prince will be reported to me, Peng Qing, Qin Qing, and you will lead the cabinet and other officials. Sixth Division assists the Crown Prince."

  Peng Dan was reluctant to change, and at this time he had to grit his teeth and bow his head, "I will obey the order."

  The kneeling courtiers heard that some people were happy and some were sad, but they were still happy. Although everyone was noisy just now, in fact, most of the people advocated change, and the emperor just made it clear that he wanted to change.

   Those who oppose can't find any good reasons. Gu Jingyun said that the current reform is better to standardize the powers and responsibilities of various ministries and restore them according to the system.

   After all, many of the functions and powers occupied by the cabinet now belong to the six departments, but under the subtle influence of the past hundred years, everyone has become accustomed to reporting to the cabinet.

And the emperor also said that he is not in good health and is too tired. He can no longer review so many memorials and inquire about so many state affairs, so he needs to delegate certain authority and only deal with some major state affairs. Can they still force the emperor to delay Do you handle state affairs with your sick body?

   To the five elders of the cabinet?

   Who dares to say this?

   Is this world the emperor's or the cabinet?

   It is necessary to know that the cabinet is the existence of the emperor's think tank. The original intention is that when the emperor is indecisive when handling state affairs, you can ask the cabinet if you don't understand it. Initially, the cabinet did not have the right to make decisions. Those memorials should have been approved by the emperor himself.

   But the cabinet has developed to the present, they can not only screen the memorials and submit them, but also approve some memorials. When the emperor was before the emperor, the cabinet could even put papers on national affairs for approval. It only needed to be handed over to His Majesty to take a look and then issued according to the opinions of the cabinet. It was equivalent to the cabinet being able to speak on behalf of the emperor. Therefore, the cabinet was very powerful, and the party struggle was the same. Also serious.

   During the reign of the late emperor, the battle for succession intensified, and the cabinet was divided. Peng Dan was the current prince at that time, and the other three cabinets, except for Ouyang Zhongli, the Minister of Rites, belonged to the fourth prince.

  In the end, there is no so-called justice, law, and etiquette for rulers and ministers. I oppose everything that the other party approves, and I agree to those who oppose it, completely disregarding the people's struggle for power and profit.

The emperor never thought of abolishing the cabinet, but he really hated party disputes, so he put the management of officials first. He was used to being gentle, and he thought about it slowly, so he has not made drastic reforms in the two years since he ascended the throne, nor did he find the fourth prince. A series of people settle accounts.

   But he is running out of time, and his own son understands that the prince hates party disputes more than him, and because of his personality and age, the prince will definitely act more violently than him.

  Gu Jingyun's proposal can not only liberate him from the busy political affairs, but also take the opportunity to rectify the official government, and can also use this to train the prince and let the regime transition to him smoothly.

   So the emperor hesitated for two days, and after asking the queen mother, he decided to drop the bomb at the great court meeting. He wanted to hand over all the power to the prince, who would supervise the country, and then retreated behind the scenes to recover.

   So if you have anything to do, go to the prince, the change must be carried out.

   Young and strong officials, especially the low-level officials of the six departments, are all gearing up for a big fight. If the cabinet is delegated to the six departments, their workload will definitely increase, their power will also increase, and the speed of promotion will also be accelerated.

   Well, it is still a good idea to reform.

   And the officials who have been using their positions to save money and travel convenience are drenched in cold sweat and their powers have changed. When handing over, they must check the case file. Then...

  The officials were crying, I wonder if it's too late to resign?

   By the time Gu Jingyun stepped out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sun was already in the west. He turned around and supported Qin Xinfang, who was staggering, "Uncle, let me take you out of the palace."

   After the morning meeting for most of the day, Qin Xinfang's face turned green, he nodded slightly, leaned half of his weight on Gu Jingyun, and let him help him out.

   The rest of the elders were also helped out by their subordinates or younger officials. Fortunately, it was rare for such a large court to meet once in a few years, otherwise they would have to hang here.

   Even Gu Jingyun had some doubts that the emperor did it on purpose.

   Deliberately hold them in such a series of high-intensity meetings that they have to agree to change. Of course, this was just a suspicion, and he didn't dare to say it.

Both the Qin family and Erlin waited outside the palace in their carriages. Because of Qin Xinfang's high status, the Qin family's carriage was in the first row. Gu Jingyun directly helped him into the carriage, and set off the car when he saw Erlin's carriage. Lian said: "I'm going to Qin Mansion, you go to the academy to pick up your wife home."

   Erlin responded with a sound, and quickly turned his horse's head and followed the carriage of the Qin Mansion out.

  Gu Jingyun poured a cup of hot water for Qin Xinfang, took his palm and pressed it a few times, and put it down when he saw the blood on his face recovered, "Would you like a doctor for you?"

   Qin Xinfang shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm old, but I'm just so tired from the half-day court meeting."

He looked at Gu Jingyun, who was still calm and calm, nodded slightly and said, "It's also good for you to follow Bai Yitang to practice martial arts. I think there are several people in the hall who are stronger than you, and they can't stand it... It's better not to be in power," Qin Xinfang sighed. Said: "Huanhai's ups and downs, the change of power, not only hard work but also hard work, it's not bad that you are happy now, but why did you get involved in this matter again?"

   Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "What I'm talking about, although it's up to me to bring it up, I won't participate. Don't worry, uncle, they can't catch me."

"You should be more careful. By the way, when will your mother and Yitang come back?" Qin Xinfang frowned and said, "Although I agreed to their marriage, I only got in for three of the six ceremonies, so how can I keep wandering outside? They are not afraid of rumors and shouldn't be so nonsense, let them come back and complete the remaining three rituals, when they are kissed, where do they want to go?"

Gu Jingyun coughed softly: "Master has a letter back, saying that they are building a house for the master, and they will return to Beijing after the master and master are arranged. Baolu and I are already preparing things for them to marry, uncle rest assured. ."

Qin Xinfang nodded with satisfaction, and turned to his nephew, "You and Chunxi are not too young anymore, and we can have a child. Not to mention your master, I don't think your mother will be comfortable in the capital, so it's better to take advantage of it. As your aunt and I still have energy, hurry up to have a child and we can help you with it..."

   Gu Jingyun looked surprised. It was the first time he had been induced to give birth to a child, and he was amazed.

   You have to know that in the past few years, both his uncle and aunt were telling him not to have the marriage prematurely, so as not to hurt his body and harm his children. This was the first time someone urged him to give birth to a child.

   Gu Jingyun was stunned, and he couldn't recover until he got home.

Li Baolu gestured in front of him, and asked worriedly: "Did someone in the court target you? I heard that you were arguing so much that you almost turned over the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and even lunch was used in the hall. ?"

Gu Jingyun came back to his senses, held her hand and said, "It's not related to this, it's my uncle." He looked up at Li Baolu and said, "Uncle urged us to have a baby, saying that he and my aunt are now free to help. We take the kids."

Li Baolu's eyes widened, she didn't understand how this topic changed from the political affairs of the court to this place, she didn't dare to look at Gu Jingyun's fire-like eyes, her eyes wandered and stuttered: "This is not something we can decide. Bar……"

   They didn't use contraception either. At first, Li Baolu considered the safety period and avoided it on purpose, but within two months, she was completely disrupted by Gu Jingyun, because it was difficult for her to stop him.

  So in the end, she also let him come here, but she never got pregnant.

  Li Baolu thought it was luck.

  The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth were slightly raised, he hugged her from behind, put his chin on her shoulder and smiled: "Although we can't decide, but we can work hard, I think more often we can win, right?"

  Li Baolu shook her head and said with a serious face: "This is a wrong perception, medically speaking..."

Gu Jingyun blocked her mouth and rolled her directly onto the couch. Of course he knew that the more the better, the more indulgence would reduce the pregnancy rate, but he felt that the lower it was, the lower it was. They were still young, and the child's business was not a problem. Urgent, but he just needs a reason.
