Prince Xiao himself holds military power and dominates the world. If he were to take power again, he would be the first person in the East with such an identity. Even if he did not ascend to the throne as Emperor, he would be no different from the Emperor.
The regency of Prince Xiao was largely the result of the struggle between the Empress, the Crown Prince, and Prince Xiao Zian's faction. It was a helpless but inevitable choice for everyone.
Although Prime Minister You and others personally went out to the city to welcome Prince Xiao back to power, it does not mean that they sincerely hope Prince Xiao to be the Regent. Most of the people in the court did not want Prince Xiao to be the regent, but they had no choice. contemporary romance
After the Emperor fell into a coma, there was no one in charge of the country. After the crown prince fell, the three major factions competed fiercely for power, and the six tribes could only maintain basic operations. Many things could not be dealt with, and if they continued like this, there was no need for foreign enemies to intervene. They would have caused chaos themselves.
At this time, the country must have someone stand up to take charge of the overall situation and suppress the Empress and others, otherwise, they will all become slaves of the conquered country.
Therefore, even if Prime Minister You and others doesn't want Prince Xiao to be the regent, they still went out of the city to welcome him back and handed over the political power to Prince Xiao as soon as he entered the palace.
People with political acumen, such as Prime Minister You, were very clear that even if they do not take action, the final power will still fall into the hands of Prince Xiao. Instead of engaging in a struggle without a stomach, it was better to sell face Prince Xiao, who knows if they may gain great benefits in the future.
On the first day of returning to the capital, with the cooperation of Prime Minister You's colleagues, Prince Xiao smoothly took over government affairs. However, everyone knew that taking over government affairs did not mean that everything was good luck.
During this period, there has been a backlog of six government departments, and many long overdue orders have also been delayed due to the struggle between the three factions. The officials below were filled with complaints, although they dare not speak directly to their faces, there was ultimately dissatisfaction in their hearts. At this time, if Prince Xiao could not rectify the chaos, he would lose the lofty image he had established in the past.
If he does a good job of turning the tide, it will show his extraordinary abilities. Prince Xiao's reputation will surely take another step forward. But everything has two sides. If not done well, his reputation will be destroyed, and it will be much harder to take over the government in the future.
It can be said that what Prince Xiao took over was a rotten stall. Not only were their many things to do, but the officials of the six ministries were not as cooperative as imagined.
After all, not everyone was as shrewd as Prime Minister You, and not everyone can be like him. After the Emperor's accident, they immediately fall to Prince Xiao without any psychological burden.
In recent years, the Emperor has performed exceptionally well, even being wise. Aside from the matter of Prince Xiao, the courtiers have highly praised the Emperor. Moreover, the Emperor has been in power for decades, and there were not many confidants. These people were not like Prime Minister Lin, who was treated as a sword by the Emperor and constantly stabs political enemies. Most of these people were highly valued by the Emperor and placed in critical positions.
Xiao Tianyao had to admit that the Emperor has clear eyes. He has many capable people under his command. It was not easy for the Emperor to remain unconscious and the empress and others to only seize power while maintaining the normal operation of the six departments.
Appreciation comes from appreciation, but when Prince Xiao found that the people in the Six Departments had extremely low coordination, he couldn't help but feel the urge to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys.
The official documents of various departments were piled up on a mountain, and the military and household departments were unable to do anything except for daily affairs. The West Military was eyeing the border eagerly, and the generals stationed had already reported the situation, but no one can make a decision.
The army stationed in Northern Border reported the pension for disabled soldiers as early as a month ago, but so far no explanation has been provided.
The envoys of the Northern Country arrived in the East early and submitted their documents for more than half a month, but no one intervened, let alone sent someone to negotiate peace with them.
Each one of them was an urgent and important matter, but unless Prince Xiao can multiply himself, he cannot handle these things alone.
Before Xiao Tianyao had only been in charge of military power, and under the intentional or unintentional defense of the Emperor, he never took over the power. Although officials from the Six Departments dared not argue against Prince Xiao in person, they could perfunctorily, shirk, or use regulations and outdated rules to delay progress.
This not only makes people faultless but also responds to others.
Although Xiao Tianyao took over government affairs for the first time, he did not understand everything. He could see the small actions of the six officials, but it was because he understood them clearly that he was more responsive to others. Because now he still needs officials from the Six Departments to handle affairs, knowing that they were causing trouble, he can't do anything about them. It makes him feel nauseous to think about it.
The officials of the six ministries cooperated openly but kept using small tactics in private, making it easy for Xiao Tianyao to take over government affairs, but it was very difficult to handle. On the first day of taking over the government affairs, Xiao Tianyao was entangled in the affairs and didn't even have time to leave the palace gate.
In the evening, the eunuch who was waiting outside saw that Xiao Tianyao was not moving at all inside the house. He was afraid that he would be hungry, so he hesitated in the meantime but boldly walked in the end.
He knew that since Prince Xiao entered the palace, he has not even had lunch, which would make him hungry, which was not a good thing.
As soon as the eunuch came in, Xiao Tianyao noticed it, but he didn't look up. He only thought of it as a servant who came in to change candles and cut candlesticks. But he didn't expect that the eunuch would come in and walk straight to him, and then he didn't move for a long time.
"What's the matter? "Xiao Tianyao put down his brush and looked up to ask.
The eunuch was startled and knelt on the ground, trembling, "Wangye, it's getting late. Do you want to have dinner?"
As soon as the eunuch came in, he regretted it. Even if Prince Xiao didn't eat for a day, he wouldn't starve to death. If he provokes Prince Xiao's dissatisfaction, he would probably die here.
"Dinner? What time is it? "Xiao Tianyao realized that it was completely dark.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come in with his hair stiff.
"It's so late?" It was already past the time for dinner. He doesn't know if Lin Chujiu will wait for him to eat.
"Answering back wangye, it's getting late. Do you want to pass the meal? "The young eunuch dared not say, but thinking of the workload of Prince Xiao on the table, he was afraid that he won't even sleep tonight.
"Pass the meal, and then send a message to Xiao Wangfu, saying that benwang will not return tonight." This was the Outer Palace. When the government was busy, the Emperor will let his ministers here to rest.
"Yes, Wangye. "When the young eunuch received the order, he dared not stay for a moment, he hastily retreated.
Not long after, the palace maid brought the order of Prince Xiao. Xiao Tianyao took a few random sips and ordered someone to remove the food and continue the unfinished work.
Lin Chujiu, who had been waiting for Xiao Tianyao to return to the mansion for dinner, waited until she was hungry and the dishes on the table were all cold. Then received the news that Prince Xiao would not return to the mansion tonight.
"I see, you can go back. "Lin Chujiu's face remained unchanged, but Zhenzhu, Manao, and Housekeeper Cao tried to shrink themselves to the side. They felt like a storm will come.
