Chapter 969 Queen
What is imperial power?
The power of the world, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than using money and employing people.
Xiao Xun understood this truth a long time ago. He seldom thinks about imperial power because he doesn't need to think about it. Right now, it is not the nobles in the world who are holding him back, but the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has no bright face. As a constraint, she uses these gentry who are attached to her.
Zhang Quanjin, Zhang Minghe, and others.
There are five people in the cabinet, the empress dowager occupies two of them, and the rest, Xie Tiao is undoubtedly the emperor's man. Although Zeng Shiyi is soft-tempered, he is a smart person. He does not stand on either side, and Chi Yude has always Attached to Xie Tiao.
Xiao Xun moved his brain a little bit, and figured out the joints involved. I am afraid that Zhang Quanjin and Zhang Minghe are not unwilling to stand on his side, but they have long been on the side of the Empress Dowager, and now it is too late to get off the boat .
These are not problems, or small problems, just find some reason to dismiss people. The key problem is that he can suppress the cabinet now, but what about in the future?
If Junu, or Junu's son and grandson, were not as arbitrary as he is today, wouldn't the emperor become the mascot of the cabinet at that time?
After becoming a father, Xiao Xun was afraid to think about these issues.
When every dynasty comes to an end, land annexation is the biggest curse. The common people cannot survive without land, and they can only rise up in the end.
Who is the biggest beneficiary of land merger? If it is noble, how many nobles can there be in a dynasty? Are there many scholars?
Xie Tiao also thought of this question, "Your Majesty, taking advantage of the current good situation, you might as well re-measure the land, even if it is not good, you can know it well. Let's see how much land is occupied by the rich and powerful, and how much land is occupied by the common people. How many do you have?"
Xiao Xun said, "Right now, there is land in Xiliang and Beiqi, and there is still a lot of land. The common people want to have land to grow, and these are not problems. What I want to think about is the cabinet. Any group cannot have only one voice."
Xie Tiao hurriedly said, "The emperor's worries are very serious, I wonder if the emperor can think of any good ideas?"
"Naturally, it is necessary to support another institution that is the same as the cabinet but can be used by me. I am thinking that if there is such an institution that can counsel military aircraft for me, why not call it the Military Aircraft Department!"
"What is the reason why the emperor established this military aircraft department?"
Xiao Xun said, "The reason is not important, people always come up with it. Besides, at the moment, didn't my grandfather think of a good reason for me? Since I want to measure the land, let's leave it to the Military Aircraft Department to handle it!"
"If this is the case, the emperor may not approve the minister's resignation at this time, and the minister is willing to wait two more days."
Xiao Xun understood that Xie Tiao wanted to help him with the cabinet and those literati in Chaozhong Duozhen for a few days, but he was unwilling to drag Xie's family into trouble, "Grandfather is getting old, and he should have returned to his hometown to be honored and raised. , I have this one today, and that one tomorrow, when it is the first time, I will not keep my grandfather!"
Xie Tiao knelt down to thank you!
Xie Jia, it is an extremely honorable thing for his generation to be able to withdraw from the court in such a dignified manner.
After Xiao Xun returned to the palace, he approved Xie Tiao's resignation. When the news spread, the city was in an uproar. Who would have expected that Xie Tiao would step down from the position of chief assistant as the empress dowager ceremony was imminent.
Shoufu has always been pushed by the court, not that it cannot be appointed by the emperor, but in the eyes and writings of those scholar-bureaucrats, it is only the case of a faint king.
The emperor is the son of heaven, sent down to manage the people, and the scholar-bureaucrats are dedicated to assist the emperor in managing the people. The so-called son of heaven is just boasted by the scholar-bureaucrats. What is it now?
The emperor is just a mascot, but the literati are the real beneficiaries. Military generals still need to risk their lives to win a title. How can a life be worth anything, but in their eyes, it has become a great thing.
In this world, everyone lives in a muddleheaded way, but only scholars can understand.
Xiao Xun returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, unable to calm down for a long time.
Xie Zhiwei personally brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Xun, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now, there will be plenty of time in the future."
Xie Zhiwei knows that Xiao Xun is planning for his descendants, but that day is still far away.
She asked the nanny to bring Junu over and put it in Xiao Xun's arms, "Brother brings the Jade Rabbit with his own hands every day, so don't be compared to him."
Xiao Xun looked at Ju Nu with disgust, when did this kid start drooling, and he was still smiling at him, looking at his son's happy smiling face, all his troubles were gone.
He hugged his son and teased him, "You are a boy, don't compare yourself with your sister. A boy should love others first, then himself. In our family, our father and I should love your mother first, and then you love your father." , love yourself last. Dad is the same, love your mother and you first, and then treat yourself well, understand?"
"Boys should be broad-minded, don't listen to your mother!"
Xie Zhiwei laughed aside, "What nonsense are you talking to your son?"
On the day of the post-closing ceremony, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.
Originally, the first day was covered with dark clouds. Seeing that a snow was about to fall, the people of Qin Tianjian held their heads and handed it up. As a result, on the right day, they woke up early in the morning and saved their heads.
The first night, Xie Zhiwei and Xiao Xun rested in the Qianqing Palace, and early the next morning, Xie Zhiwei and Xiao Xun got up together.
The enthronement ceremony and enthronement ceremony are generally ceremonial, which means that today, Xie Zhiwei and Xiao Xun will follow each other like shadows, what Xiao Xun does, Xie Zhiwei does.
The two of them first put on filial clothing to worship the ancestors in the Xiandian Hall, and then went to sacrifice to the gods from all walks of life. After half a day, Xie Zhiwei was too tired, and Xiao Xun was very distressed. The reason why it is so complicated is mainly because the process is like this.
Besides, the Empress Conferment Ceremony and the Enthronement Ceremony were held at the same time. He made the scale a little bigger because he wanted to show the world how brilliant and awesome his Xiao Xun's wife and Dayong's empress are.
Officials from the Ministry of Rituals went to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Agriculture, and the Taimiao to offer sacrifices. Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei happened to return to the palace. After eating, there was no time to rest. Two dragons and nine phoenix crowns.
When the officials from the Ministry of Rites returned, the bells and drums rang, and the majestic bells resounded throughout Miyagi.
Xiao Xun took Xie Zhiwei's hand and walked towards Fengtianmen, he held Xie Zhiwei's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, if you are tired, I will help you, Mei Mei, we will walk for the rest of our lives! "
