"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 166
The Far Eastern Dynasty, the capital of the king.
The morning sun shines through the mist to the palaces of the imperial city, and the glazed tiles of the pavilions and buildings seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, making them even more solemn.
The magnificent palaces are surrounded by guards of the imperial guards, and inside there are burly and burly palace guards standing everywhere, with a murderous look in their sharp eyes.
? Zuo Prime Minister Wang Huchen rode in a slightly bumpy sedan chair, passed through the majestic palace gate, and entered the heavily guarded imperial city without hindrance.
The old emperor was in poor health, and it had been a long time since he had formally gone to court to deal with military and state affairs, and the court meeting had become a long time ago.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Office and the General's Office are assisting in handling important military and political affairs across the country, and only important matters will be reported to the emperor for personal review.
It's just that the emperor's spirit is not good. Generally, these matters are handed over to the prince who serves around.
The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion seem to have become the highest authority in the entire dynasty, and the reports from all provinces will be concentrated on them, and they maintain the normal operation of the entire country.
The left and right prime ministers and the four generals are free on weekdays, and they only need to take turns to deal with military affairs in the imperial city.
But now that the country's affairs are corrupt and uprisings are raging everywhere, they also feel a little bit haggard.
"Master Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived."
The bumpy sedan chair stopped, and the gentle voice of the servant came from outside.
? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen opened his eyes, and with the help of his servant, he walked out of the sedan chair slowly.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is not the mansion where the prime minister lives, but a palace that handles government affairs on the left side of the Chaohui Hall in the Imperial City.
On the right side of the court hall is the palace of the general's mansion, which is far away from the prime minister's mansion. They are responsible for handling the national military affairs.
The entire Far Eastern Dynasty is now in a precarious state, and the situation is rapidly deteriorating.
But no matter how the situation outside changes, in this heavily guarded imperial city, everything seems so peaceful.
The solemn and solemn palace wall seems to have the effect of isolating all the hustle and bustle, making this place a safe place.
Wang Huchen looked up at the gilded plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Under the sunlight, he was a little dazzled. He didn't know whether it was because he was old or the sunlight was too glaring.
He shook his head and put these distracting thoughts behind him, then walked up the steps slowly and headed towards the hall.
Wang Huchen's steps are steady and powerful, not in a hurry, and seem to have a special rhythm, revealing a sense of calmness.
"Meet Mr. Zuoxiang!"
The Imperial Guard soldiers standing on both sides of the steps saluted the powerful Prime Minister Zuo as usual.
Even though Wang Huchen was an important minister of the dynasty, he still nodded slightly when faced with these ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were very different in status.
Wang Huchen was born in a poor family. From humble beginnings to a powerful minister, he has gone through ups and downs, and his body is not contaminated with the arrogance of those family officials.
Wang Huchen read the books of sages and sages, and his lifelong ideal is to help the country, but now he feels powerless.
Twenty years ago, the emperor began to vigorously promote the children of poor families, trying to restrain those families with great power.
However, with the passage of time, although these officials from poor families have curbed the expansion of the power of the family to a certain extent, they have formed a new powerful group.
For power and wealth, these new elite groups compete with the aristocratic family groups on the one hand, and wantonly exploit the lower class on the other hand.
?Because these new powerful groups came from humble backgrounds, not as deep as the family background.
Now that they have power, they naturally want to consolidate their power and status at all costs.
Although they lived in the imperial court, their family and children merged land and built manors in various places, making the place full of smog.
Wang Huchen came from a poor family, so he can be regarded as one of these new dignitaries, but he has always been strict with himself, trying to draw a clear line with those people.
Wang Huchen was at odds with the new civil servants and powerful group, and he was at odds with the power of the aristocratic family. In Nuo Da's court, he became a lone minister.
However, it is precisely because he has no connection with the civil servants, powerful groups and aristocratic families that he has always been highly valued by the emperor, and he is firmly in the position of Prime Minister Zuo.
Because what the emperor needs is a kind of balance, and only by maintaining this delicate balance can their country and society be stabilized.
Wang Huchen stepped into the palace and arrived first. The officials all stood up and saluted one after another.
For this highly respected Prime Minister Zuo, even though these officials do not agree with his style of doing things, they still retain some respect.
After Wang Huchen nodded, he didn't speak, and walked straight into an antique room, which was his office in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Wang Huchen sat down on the chair, the waiter had already brought up the brewed tea, as well as several plates of exquisite snacks.
"Master Zuo Xiang, this is today's report from various places, please review it."
Just after Wang Huchen took a sip of his tea, a young and handsome official came in with a stack of newspapers and respectfully placed them on the long table in front of Wang Huchen.
This young official was named Yan Jing, who was personally promoted by Wang Huchen. Yan Jing was not only organized, but also insightful, which was highly valued by him.
"I'm tired today, please read the report to me."
Wang Huzi rubbed his temples, and he didn't bother to read it himself, so he ordered Yan Jing to read it to him.
"No."
After Yan Jing responded softly, he immediately picked up a memorial and began to read it to Wang Huchen.
"The Lingnan Province has reported that it has been flooded for months, and countless cottages and good fields have been damaged. There are more than 500,000 refugees. They request to open warehouses to release food for disaster relief."
"allow."
Wang Huchen also knew that at this time, disaster relief must be provided. Lingnan Province is one of their grain-producing areas, so there should be no further disturbances.
"Let the Supervisory Office send a supervisory envoy to Lingnan Province to supervise disaster relief."
After Wang Huchen thought about it, he didn't forget to add one more sentence at the end, because he wanted to ensure that the food relief for the victims would be distributed in place, instead of being filled by officials.
After Yan Jing responded, he quickly wrote down the reply and gave it to the servant next to him for his seal.
"The eastern province reported that horse thieves have repeatedly attacked our border posts. In the past few months, more than 300 soldiers have been killed and injured, and more than 20 outposts have been damaged. Sending troops to conquer requires military expenses. become military expenses."
"Jiangbei Province has reported that the bandit army has reached 150,000 people, and they have captured 21 counties in one prefecture, requesting reinforcements."
"The second prince of the Holy Empire is about to visit our country, please advise how to arrange it."
"The Freedom Alliance has sent a mission to the capital on tariff matters, and hopes that we will reduce the tariff by 30%."
"The Northern Province reports that the Hanhai Dynasty has added 200,000 troops to our border."
"The Fourth Highness reported that the deputy general of the Black Cavalry Army, Lu Wenzhao, attacked without authorization and was ambushed by the bandit army. The entire army of more than 10,000 Black Cavalry troops was wiped out."
