Chapter 642 The Inner Court Intervenes

At the court meeting, Liu Yu not only sent six officials to the local government, but also issued an order on handling some riots. If there are people gathering in the local area to cause trouble, the crime will be directly punished without being asked by the yamen. However, the crime will not be punished by three people, and the case cannot exceed three people at one time. If the situation is no longer controlled, it can be dispersed by force.

Liu Yu was also afraid that the power to behead the local yamen first and then report would lead to the expansion of power in the local yamen. Sometimes it was not the people who wanted to rebel, but the officials forced the people to rebel. Most people were just following the mentality of herds, not to be loyal to the court and to make evil with the people, which was very unfavorable to local stability and indirectly made the court unable to eliminate the Three Pure Lvs.

After the court meeting ended, Liu Yu and Qier returned to Yaqian Hall, and Han Sheng and Sui Yu came to see each other. Nominally, Han Sheng came here to discuss the affairs of the Six Ministry by the Shangshutai, but Han Sheng finally expressed it tactfully. It was not appropriate for Liu Yu to send officials from the Six Ministry to the place, which would ruin the government affairs of the court.

Han Sheng said: "How can these people from Shangshutai take care of so many affairs?"

Han Sheng said he was complaining, but in fact he was persuading Liu Yu in disguise. However, Liu Yu had made up his mind and Han Sheng's persuasion would not have any effect. Liu Yu asked Sui Yu about Sui Yu's meaning, Sui Yu looked at Han Sheng, and finally said that he would do his best.

Liu Yu had previously abolished the Six-Taiwan yamen and advocated the establishment of the Shangshutai, which had already streamlined the originally bloated official system and made the affairs more concise, which also made the Shangshutai have a lot of affairs, because the Shangshutai also had to take into account the affairs of the Commerce Department and had fewer staff. It was already very tired. This time, Liu Yu sent the six ministries to the local area, which was equivalent to temporarily abolishing the responsibilities of the Six ministries in the court. This made the Shangshutai even more nervous.

"Brother Han, in this way, I will first transfer the Censor Liao Du to the Shangshu Desk to help. During this period, I will handle official duties in the Yaqian Hall and transfer the Secretary of Sui Zhong to help. Miss Sui, are you okay?"

Sui Yu looked at Liu Yu. He looked at Han Sheng again, shook his head, but was a little puzzled. Why did Liu Yu temporarily second him to the palace?

"That's right." Liu Yu explained, "Shangshutai, for the time being, will be in charge of the affairs of the six ministries, and local government affairs will be transferred to the palace. I will ask Your Majesty and Neizi to come and help with it. Because Your Majesty and Neizi are newbies, Sui Shangshuling needs to enter the palace to help."

Although Han Sheng's face was very calm, he still felt that Liu Yu's decision was unusual when he heard Liu Yu's words.

Han Sheng tentatively said: "Brother Liu, do you know... the inner court cannot interfere in politics..."

Liu Yu smiled and understood what Han Sheng meant. Han Sheng said that Liu Yu should not ask Xu Xuanzhu to help deal with the government affairs. This is often the root cause of the chaos of the country.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Han seems to have forgotten that he wants to talk about the inner court. Now I am the man behind His Majesty. I am all on the stage now. Why can't His Majesty's sisters?"

Han Sheng smiled bitterly on his face. He knew that he could not explain it or talk about it. Liu Yu was indeed a bit imaginative in his style of conduct, and he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

Han Sheng said: "But Mrs. Zun... I'm afraid she has no experience in handling government affairs. If you say that, Your Majesty is still young..."

"Don't worry, Brother Han, I believe that Miss Sui will do a good job in this regard. With her here, she will definitely teach His Majesty and her inner son how to handle some government affairs. No one is a natural emperor. His Majesty will also take charge of the rule in the future, and the court also needs some trustworthy people to assist. In my opinion, there is no problem with this."

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Han Sheng stopped persuading him. In his opinion, it was not a big problem for Liu Yu to temporarily ask Qier and Xu Xuan to help with the court affairs. After all, Liu Yu is the one in charge, and when encountering major events, it is Liu Yu who decides.

Han Sheng explained the matter and was about to leave when Liu Yu suddenly took out a memorial and said, "Brother Han, look at this."

Han Sheng held it in his hand and looked carefully. On the side, Liu Yu also explained: "I was going to talk about this at the court meeting today, but the Censor Liao Du pulled the topic apart and did not mention it. Brother Han, see if this proposal works?"

Han Sheng’s content in the memorial was not written by others, but by Liu Yu’s handwriting. This is a question about the descendants of the Su family. The vassal states were reduced by the way of feudal states, and the vassal states were gradually reduced from generation to generation. In Liu Yu’s view, this was just a copy of some terms of the “Grace Order”, but in Han Sheng’s view, the content of the provisions was very novel, but he was afraid that the vassal kings and vassal lords below would not be happy.

In the last court meeting, although Liu Yu released most of the vassal kings and vassal lords, Liangzi had already formed a group, and most of the vassal kings and vassal lords were placed under house arrest in Chang'an City, which made them quite prejudiced against the court. In this case, implementing such clauses will only make the vassal kings and vassal lords completely lose trust in the court.

Han Sheng thought about how to resolve the relationship between the court and the descendants of the Su family. But Liu Yu thought about how to resolve the influence of the descendants of the Su family on the government.

Han Sheng hesitated and said, "I'm afraid... it's not appropriate to ask too early."

Liu Yu said: "I will show you to Brother Han first, just to hear what you mean. If it is not feasible, then I won't say it. But in the past two hundred years of Shun Dynasty and sixty years of the country's decree, the local vassal kings have threatened the imperial court's jurisdiction over the local area. If they do not restrict it early, it will only leave the world with no emperor's land, and all the people of the vassal states within the world."

Liu Yu deliberately said something very seriously, and in fact he was also explaining a problem to Han Sheng, that is, the necessity of the implementation of this "grace order". Han Sheng sighed last: "Since it is necessary to implement it, it should be early rather than late. Just take advantage of the fact that the vassal lords are in Chang'an City and their power is weakened and they will be dealt with. However, it is best to implement all this after the Three Puritans are calmed down, and then it will not be too late."

Liu Yu originally wanted to take the opportunity to propose a entrusted order together with the Three Puritans' purges. However, Han Sheng was persuaded tightly, and Liu Yu did not want to go against his intentions, so he agreed.

After seeing Han Sheng off, Liu Yu took Sui Yu and Qier back to the inner court. When he met Xu Xuanzhu, Liu Yu also told Xu Xuanzhu what he meant.

After getting married, Xu Xuanzhu seemed to be idle and occasionally came out to practice swords at home. After giving birth, he was abandoned. His body shape looked much richer.

When Xu Xuanzhu heard what Liu Yu meant, he was a little confused at first, then looked at Sui Yu, and then asked Liu Yu: "Husband, how can this... work?"

Xu Xuanzhu obviously had no confidence in governing the country. Liu Yu wanted to put her in an important position as the Minister of Responsible, which made her feel that she was expecting but also a little unconfident. She was expecting to share the pressure on her husband's shoulders, making herself no longer feel so useless. She was not confident because she did not understand the handling of the government.

"It's nothing difficult. As long as you deal with state affairs, you only need to follow some principles, such as for the people's livelihood first, etc. As long as you have a view of the overall situation, no one will be unable to do these things well. Madam, you used to lead troops to battle and are familiar with military tactics, so it's not difficult to learn these, and there are experts like Miss Sui to help you."

Sui Yu was praised by Liu Yu, and her face was a little blushed, saying, "What the prince said is very true. In fact, my sister is also learning and doing things while handling court affairs, and she will not be inferior to men. My sister is confident in dealing with herself."

With Sui Yu's encouragement, Xu Xuanzhu mustered up the courage and said, "Then I will just give it a try."

When Liu Yu heard Xu Xuanzhu's statement, he couldn't help but smile. As long as Xu Xuanzhu wanted to do, these things could be done well. He knew very well how capable his wife was. However, after getting married, Xu Xuanzhu had been doing housework, so he seemed more like a housewife, but the Sanchi Lane was obviously not the stage for Xu Xuanzhu.

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Qi'er who was eating snacks there and said, "Where are you?"

"...I?" Seeing that the people at the table were looking at her, Qier was silent for a moment before asking in surprise. Soon she lowered her head and seemed very cowardly, "Honey, can I not go?"

"Why?" Liu Yu asked with a straight face.

"If you go there every day, you won't have time to play. Husband, look at Yi'er and Ting'er and others are free on weekdays. I still have to... play with Xiaoya, but there isn't that much time."

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh. Now Qi'er is obviously not ready to be an emperor. Even if she asks her to go to court on weekdays or sit in Yaqian Hall, she feels it is a burden, let alone letting her deal with the government affairs every day.

Liu Yu insisted: "Your sister has gone, but you can't go if you don't go. You are the emperor and you will still have to manage the country in the future. Just think this is it, playing house, it really doesn't work. If you let Xiao Stutter go with you, let her be a female official. When you are free, you can't go out and play for a while."

When Qier heard this, her eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

Qier was immediately excited to hear that she could ask Wu Shuo to go to Yaqian Hall with her and let Wu Shuo be a female official to play with her.

"It depends on your performance. If you always remember to play, then I will drive Xiao Shu out of the palace and will not let her come in again in the future."

Qier quickly pulled Liu Yu's arm and begged: "I won't do it anymore. I will learn to be an emperor in the future... Yes, good emperor."

Xu Xuanzhu and Qier both accepted it, which made Liu Yu relieved. In the past, Liu Yu was alone in the court and always felt that he lacked helpers who could absolutely trust. Now with Xu Xuanzhu, Qier and Sui Yu helping, Liu Yu immediately had three more arms, and the pressure in his heart would be reduced.

Liu Yu told Sui Yu about the location and time of handling the government affairs, and asked her to go back and prepare. In the next period of time, before the officials of the six ministries returned to Chang'an City, Sui Yu would always live in the palace. Liu Yu also welcomed the female guest with the highest specifications to move into the palace. Liu Yu even thought that when the matter was over, he would no longer send her out, but directly handle the matter and let her be his own woman wholeheartedly.
