Chapter 1140 Father and Son(2/2)
In fact, the Han Dynasty has always had an unwritten rule - if you want to be the nine ministers, you must be the guardian of Hexi.
Most of the nine ministers have a record of serving in Hexi prefect or serving in Hexi Bian County.
This is because the country's strategic focus is in Hexi.
If you don’t have this resume and rashly be a Jiuqing, wouldn’t it be funny?
And now, take down two prefects at once?!
Liu Jin immediately knew that his minister might be going to make a big move.
"Yes!" the eunuch replied: "The memorial has just been sent from Lantai to the front of His Majesty, waiting for His Majesty's Holy Punishment!"
Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Let's go and meet the saint!"
He knew that no matter what, he would go there to provide some help.
Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Jin arrived in front of the Qingliang Hall where Zi lived today.
Here, the king who was just appointed as the minister of the emperor? He was already waiting for Liu Jin's arrival.
Wang? was recommended by Liu Jin's father, Crown Prince Liu Ju. He entered the core of Liu Ju's decision-making circle since Yu Yi's order. Last year, he accompanied Liu Ju to the south to assist him in establishing the structure of the He River Protectorate, and made great contributions.
He was able to be a minister, but it was actually a kind of compensation from the emperor to Liu Ju. If he killed someone’s teacher, he would have to give him a peach.
When he saw Liu Jin, Wang immediately came forward and said, "I respectfully ask His Highness the Grandpa..."
Liu Jin nodded and said, "Shizhong Wang please get up..."
Then he asked again: "When Wang Shizhong, where is the emperor's grandfather now?"
"Your Majesty is dealing with the government affairs. I specially entrusted me to not disturb me..." Wang? But he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please come back..."
Liu Jin frowned, took a step back, looked at the king carefully, and asked, "Shizhong Wang, I don't know if the Shizhong can tell me what my grandfather is dealing with? Why should I order the Shizhong here?"
Wang? smiled mysteriously, and did not directly answer Liu Jin's question, but said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I have my own difficulties!"
If it were the past, Wang? This sentence would have almost sent Liu Jin away.
But now it's not possible.
Over the past month, Liu Jin has been with Dang Xizi, seeing and hearing all kinds of things with his own eyes, and all kinds of things have long been no longer the Liu Jin he used to be.
The seed called suspicion has already taken root and sprouted in his heart.
So, he looked at the king seriously and asked, "Does the minister have an edict from the emperor's grandfather or oral order?"
Wang? said with a smile: "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to reply..."
Liu Jin glanced at Wang deeply, and a voice in his heart told him that this person was deceiving me! He did it on purpose!
And why is this?
Liu Jin vaguely knew the answer.
His father is the crown prince, his grandfather is the emperor, and he is the grandson.
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a situation now.
The emperor, prince, grandson, and three Yuans are established together. If the queen is included, it will be a four-legged tripod.
But in fact, all parties have their own power.
The emperor is in charge of the government affairs and holds the power of life and death in the world. I will not mention the absolute power for the time being.
The rest have their own systems.
For example, his grandson is the core of the Xinfeng Group founded by General Yang of Ying and Zhang Zizhong and the Yingyang Group, which is now in Hexi.
And his father, Prince Liu Ju, once had a strong support group.
Now, although the group is almost destroyed - the last backbone and backbone, Shi De has also been sentenced to death.
However, as the prince went south to Luoyang, he presided over the river management.
Local forces and nobles in Nanyang, Henan, Xuzhou and Qingzhou gradually gathered around it, forming a new prince system again.
In the past, Liu Jin might not have noticed the subtleties and differences.
He only naively thinks that his father's minister is also his minister, and his minister must be his father's loyal minister.
But now, he dare not be so naive.
In fact, Liu Jin knew very well that he and his father and son had a deep relationship with him.
But there are probably few ministers from their father and son who can see each other.
Guess they are officials who support two different people, nobles.
Although they are father and son, there is a gap in the end.
Moreover, there is a natural conflict between the positions and interests of both parties.
Not to mention the other side, there is only one question - in the future, if the palace car is in a state of silence and the prince ascends the throne, how can the ministers around him, Liu Jin's father not follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven? They all come to the court to rule?!
After all, even three-year-old children in the people know that one day is the emperor and the other is the minister.
But the problem is that, as the grandson, who was appointed by his son today, had a group of ministers who were far superior to the prince's ministers, both in terms of influence, power and fame.
Gong Yu, Gong Sui, Zhao Guo, Sang Jun, Chen Wannian, and even the generals of Hexi led by Yinghou General Yang, Zhang Zizhong.
So, at that time, will it be the minister of the crown prince Qiandi who will take over the country and take charge of the court, or will the grandson who will carry the power of the late emperor and gain a battle-making army to make achievements?
This is indeed a problem, and it is also the place where the lingering haze between both sides and must-see.
Liu Jin recently read history. Duke Heng of Qi expelled the barbarians and respected the king, and the world respected them. After his death, he fought for the throne because of his five sons, and even corpses crawled into the window. King Wuling of Zhao dominated the Warring States Period and was trapped in the sand dunes in his later years, and starved to death. Zulong unified the world and surrendered to the world, but was also inevitably harmed by Zhao Gao and Li Si...
There are spots in history.
No matter how kind Liu Jin is, he still understands that it is their father and son's business that he and his father have.
And the ministers under their command may not fall in love with each other, and perhaps they may not even hate each other, which is already a noble character.
