Chapter 1060 Aftermath(2/2)

But in the secret note that his prime minister asked Li Fu to send over, Feng Mingwen's only weakness was mentioned: lack of qualifications.

Fei Yi and Dong Yun said in unison: "That's why your majesty needs to send an angel as soon as possible to authorize the general to conquer the west to unify the army!"

With the emperor's authorization, there is great justice.

Even if he lacks qualifications, whether General Zhengxi can convince the veteran generals in the army or not, he can at least prevent them from openly objecting.

When Adou saw Fei and Dong acting like this, he would naturally not object.

"Then who can go to Guanzhong to declare an edict?"

This is not an ordinary imperial edict, but is related to the overall situation of Guanzhong, and is also related to the issue of the handover of old and new power.

You definitely can't just send a servant there from the palace.

This person not only wanted to declare the decree, but also made the generals in Guanzhong realize that letting General Zhengxi control the army in Guanzhong was the emperor's clearest intention and the bottom line that could not be compromised.

This time, it was Fei Yi who took the initiative to ask for permission: "I would like to go."

Adou nodded: "If Shizhong Fei is willing to go, I'll be relieved."

His eyes fell on the remaining two people:

"Foreign affairs have been agreed upon, but what about matters within the DPRK?"

The news of my father-in-law's death must not be concealed, and he must go to court tomorrow.

When all the officials in the court learn that the Prime Minister has passed away, many people will definitely lose their minds.

How to stabilize the hearts of the people in the DPRK as soon as possible is also a major matter.

"I believe that once the Prime Minister leaves, many affairs in the court will be temporarily handled by the Chancellor. Your Majesty can summon the Chancellor to Hanzhong to perform the duties of the Chancellor."

The benefits of early decentralization of power to the chancellery a few years ago have now become apparent.

With the Prime Minister gone, there is no need for the Prime Minister's Mansion to exist.

Shangshutai, who has always assisted the Prime Minister's Office in handling government affairs, can now smoothly take over all the powers of the Prime Minister's Office in handling government affairs.

Jiang Wan and others, who both hold positions in the Prime Minister's Office and the Chancellor's Office, can also switch identities naturally.

The only thing to worry about is that Jiang Wan, as the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has been staying in Jincheng.

Now that even he has been transferred to Hanzhong, Shangshutai will naturally follow him.

In the past when the emperor visited Hanzhong, it could be said that he asked the minister to stay in Jincheng to handle government affairs.

If even the chancellery was gone, Jincheng, as the nominal capital of the Han Dynasty, would really be nothing but an empty shell.

After hearing Dong Yun's words, Guo Youzhi couldn't help but said with some worry: "I'm afraid someone will criticize me."

He put it more tactfully.

To put it bluntly, once the Prime Minister leaves, I'm afraid many people will jump out.

Let's just say that there is no emperor in the capital of Han Dynasty. There is not even a chancellery.

In fact, he wanted the emperor to return to Jincheng, and even took the opportunity to prevent the capital from being moved.

Dong Yun retorted:

"That is better than His Majesty returning to Jincheng. The Prime Minister finally regained Chang'an, but His Majesty returned to Chang'an from Hanzhong. How does this make the world think?"

Fei Ye pondered:

"Just say that His Majesty is making preparations to return to the old capital."

Reviving the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital was the greatest political correctness of Ji Han.

The emperor was making preparations to return the old capital to Hanzhong. Who dared to say no?

When Fei Ye said this, everyone said: "Good!"

Fei Ye continued:

"At a time when the country is in turmoil, Li Piaoqi (Li Ping, who changed his name from Li Yan) has the position of assistant to the government, so he must be transferred to Hanzhong and cannot stay in Jincheng."

Adou frowned: "Let the hussar general come to assist the government?"

Fei Yi said quietly:

"Your Majesty, the Hussar General is the person entrusted by the late Emperor to assist the government. How can we treat him lightly? Why not give him the title of Tai Tu to show your Majesty's respect?"

Dong Yun and Guo Youzhi listened and looked at it with their eyes.

This Fei Shizhong is not a kind character either.

Adou was still a little confused. Just when he was hesitating whether to agree to Fei Yi's suggestion, a palace maid suddenly brought hot tea instead of cold tea.

At the same time, he secretly handed him a small note and wrote "Yes".

Only then did A Dou feel confident, and he nodded in agreement: "What Shi Zhong said is true."

Seeing the emperor like this, the three people thought that the emperor had understood his intention, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Majesty has grown a lot over the years by handling government affairs alone. The Prime Minister can rest in peace!"

Unexpectedly, after they left, the little fat man quickly got up and walked to the inner room, where he saw Zhang Xingcai sitting behind the screen with a big belly.

The little fat man was moved and guilty at the same time:

"When did the queen come?"

What was touching was that the queen knew that she was deeply aware of herself. What made her feel guilty was that the queen had such a big belly and that she had to work hard on her all the time.

Zhang Xingcai sat on a chair and answered with a smile:

"When Your Majesty was talking to them about the affairs of the inner dynasty, the concubine came. Your Majesty did not understand why he transferred Li Zhengfang to Hanzhong?"

"Exactly." Adou nodded, "Xiangfu asked Li Zhengfang to stay in Jincheng and not allow him to come to Hanzhong, because he wanted to use his power. Why did he transfer him to Hanzhong as soon as Xiangfu left?"

"It's precisely because my father-in-law has passed away that I have to transfer him to Hanzhong."

The queen sighed, "No matter what, Li Zhengfang is also the person appointed by the late emperor to assist His Majesty. His status is so important that he can be said to be the first person in the court now."

"If he is allowed to stay in Jincheng, who knows if someone will use him to do something?"

"After all, no matter what, Jincheng is still the capital of the Han Dynasty, and," at this point, the Queen glanced at His Majesty and lowered her voice, "The Empress Dowager is still in Jincheng."

Adou's expression changed: "Li Ping, how dare he?!"

"Whether you dare or not is one thing, but we cannot leave the slightest chance to others."

Zhang Xingcai's eyes turned cold, "Li Ping is a man with scales on his belly. I can't trust him the most. In the past, when my father-in-law was around, he couldn't make any waves."

"But now that the prime minister is gone, he is the most respected person in the court. Who knows what he will do? I can only feel relieved if he is transferred to Hanzhong and watched closely."

"Just as Fei Wenwei (Fei Yong) said, granting him the position of Sangong shows his glory and does not allow him to record the affairs of the minister."

"In this way, Your Majesty will neither fall into the harsh old minister's excuse nor give him the chance to have any objections."

After listening to the queen's words, Adou suddenly realized: "That's it."

He thought for a while and asked again:
