I Am Writing Novels In Liaozhai

"Tell me, what do you know about the emperor?"

Lin Dong asked casually.

To control the court, the quickest way is to control the emperor, and then use the emperor as a springboard to control the courtiers, so as to issue orders and promulgate government affairs, so as to achieve the goal of popularizing education

This is much faster than the self-sufficient self.

Besides, to popularize education, the silver used at that time is also a starfish, and it must be calculated in units of 100 million.

Even if Lin Dong converts all his belief points into silver, it may not be enough.

In fact, this is similar to the method of Centipede Jing Guoshi, but it may use sorcery to confuse the emperor and achieve the purpose of seizing the dragon's energy.

Lin Dong has no desire to covet dragon energy, nor has he mastered this kind of magic. What he does is also something that benefits the country and the people, and he has no regrets in his heart.

Liu Bei recalled it for a while, and then replied: "This subordinate is only a seventh-rank official, and he is not even qualified to go to the court. He only met once during the court meeting. As far as I know, the current emperor's name is Li Guangxin~ , aged twenty!"

"etc!"

Lin Dong stopped Liu Bei with a wave of his hand, wondering: "This year should be the 12th year of PV, that is to say, the current emperor has been on the throne for 13 years, why is he so young?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I heard that he was enthroned when he was seven years old, but in the past, the Queen Mother listened to the government behind a curtain, and only in the past two years-began to take charge of the government!"

"Oh I got it!"

Lin Dong suddenly realized, waved his hands and said, "Continue talking!"

He really didn't know the court and the emperor, and he didn't care about these things after traveling for more than a year.

Liu Bei said slowly: "In the beginning, the young emperor was very diligent in his administration. He was assisted by the ministers of the court, and he did a decent job. It's just that he has been listening to the government for so long, and his rights will inevitably fall aside!"

"I heard that since I took over the government, I have always wanted to take back the rights in the Queen Mother's hands. Naturally, I have some conflicts with the Queen Mother! But this is the emperor's family matter, and even if there is a fight, it is within the control range!"

Lin Dong interrupted again: "Isn't the emperor born to the empress dowager?"

"No, it was born to the previous emperor's favorite Concubine Zhou, but it was difficult to give birth at that time. There is no other way but to keep the dragon seed!" Liu Bei replied.

"The Queen Mother has no son?" Lin Dong asked again.

Liu Bei replied: "The old emperor has only one heir of the current emperor. Otherwise, when he died at that time, how could it be possible for a seven-year-old child born to ten noble concubines to succeed to the throne?"

"Oh, keep talking!"

Lin Dong nodded in understanding.

Liu Bei continued: "The current emperor is quite capable. I heard that he has someone to help him. In the past two years of being in charge, he has almost secured the throne and gained a lot of power from the Queen Mother!"

"There was no violent conflict?" Lin Dong asked.

Liu Bei shook his head: "It seems that I have never heard of it. Besides, I have only been an official for a few months. Even if it happened, such a secret thing must not be known to me as a small official."

Lin Dong continued to ask: "What's the situation with the Queen Mother now?"

"A year ago, I occasionally listened to the government behind the curtain, but now I almost don't show up, and there is no news about her in the court!" Liu Bei said truthfully.

"It seems that the emperor won this palace fight!" Lin Dong said clearly.

"Looking at the process from the results, it should be like this!"

Liu Bei echoed, and continued: "If there is no accident, most of the ministers think that the current emperor is the master of Zhongxing, so they will naturally assist with their hearts. Among them, Mr. Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the most active and most trusted minister!"

"There are also rumors that Mr. Fu will join the cabinet soon. When the subordinates heard the news, they used some means to join his camp!"

"I didn't expect that in the last month, I don't know what happened. The situation in the court has taken a turn for the worse. The emperor who was originally diligent in politics suddenly became tired and lazy, and he hardly went to court.

"The subordinates and many courtiers also inquired from many sources. They only know that the emperor is not in good health, but they don't know anything else!"

After listening to Liu Bei's report, Lin Dong is also thinking about the situation of the current emperor, the biggest possibility is that the Centipede Jing Guoshi is obstructing it.

After all, the original drama can be used as a reference, and the general reason can be guessed.

But more specific is not clear, after all, it was not mentioned in the original play.

Then he asked: "Where is the cabinet?"

Although Lin Dong didn't care much about the imperial court, he still knew the basic system.

The system of the Dali Dynasty is almost similar to that of the modern Ming Dynasty, and there is also a cabinet to help handle the affairs of the court.

Then draft the ticket and submit it to the emperor for reading, that is, to approve the red.

Regarding these basic situations, Liu Bei was very clear, and replied without thinking: "There are five ministers in the cabinet, originally the Grand Master Huang Daoyu, the Young Master Zhou Bin, the Great Changqing Li Xuewen, the Secretary of the Ministry of War Zhen Zhiqin, and the Ministry of Punishment. Shangshu Wang Hui!"

...asking for flowers......

"Among them, Taishi Huang Daoyu is the chief assistant. Just three months ago, the two adults, Taishi and Da Changqing, retired because of their seniority, leaving only the young teacher, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to assist the emperor!"

"Then a month ago, the Ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministers of the Household Department came to the cabinet and formed cliques as soon as they took office.

"And the emperor never showed up, the regiment fueled their arrogance!"

"In desperation, the subordinates voted under the sect of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, otherwise they must be within their attack range!"

Lin Dong nodded, and finally had a little understanding of the court situation.

He asked again: "How is the emperor's personality? What are your hobbies?"

Liu Bei said slowly: "Personality, it should be relatively mild. I haven't heard of him disposing of courtiers on a large scale. As for hobbies, I don't know. The subordinate is only a small official and has not yet reached this level. You can’t even inquire about it, otherwise people will think that your subordinates have evil intentions!”

"Fine!"

Lin Dong also understood Liu Bei's difficulty, and said, "The last question, how can I get in touch with the emperor?"

Liu Bei pondered for a while, then frowned and said: "Basically, the emperor is in the palace, and he hardly goes out of the palace, but it is very difficult to enter the palace. If you have to be a eunuch, the Lord will definitely not do this, and even if you arrange a brother to enter Even if you are a eunuch in the palace, it is not so easy to get in touch with the emperor!"

"Another way is to present treasures, which requires someone to recommend, but this should be the only way we can get in touch with the emperor!"

Lin Dong nodded. The method of presenting treasures is more reliable, and he immediately ordered: "I will provide the treasures, and the person who recommends them, you come to find a way!"

"promise!"

Liu Bei readily agreed.

Even if it is difficult, do it.

"Okay, let's go to the sheep today, I will let you know if there is something to do, you don't have to come here every day!"

Lin Dong dismissed Liu Bei and others with a wave of his hand.

They already know almost what they need to know, and they can't collect deeper information. The only effect may be the poor connections. .
