Chapter 266: Change of Phase
Xun You, Xun Yu and Zhong Yao left the palace and came to the Licao on Imperial Street.
Xun You let out a long breath and said solemnly, "In fact, I should have guessed it earlier. It is very obvious that Wang Lang replaced Yuan Chang to go to the Three Qiangs."
Zhong Yao and Xun Yu both nodded, but did not respond. Instead, they were thinking about the matter.
'Changing the prime minister' is a big deal. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, the three highest officials were abolished. Yang Biao is the first prime minister. In the chaotic situation, he played a very important role in 'maintaining stability'!
If Yang Biao, the fourth generation and the third prince, is dismissed or becomes an official, it will undoubtedly have an unpredictable impact on the situation of the court and the country.
What's more, the 'change of prime minister' was not because of Yang Biao's 'inaction', but because the emperor in the palace was dissatisfied with the stagnation of the 'new policy'. After the change of prime minister, it means that there will be major changes in national politics!
Xun Yu pondered for a long time, looked at Zhong Yao, and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhong Yao's face was more serious than ever before, and he said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
All along, Zhong Yao always thought that he would stay in the Supreme Court and never thought that he would suddenly become the prime minister!
It should be noted that there are many "predecessors" before him, such as his old boss, the current prestigious Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.
He is more qualified to succeed the prime minister than him, and he is considered popular among the government and the public.
Xun You understood what Xun Yu meant, but smiled and said, "However, it is Yuan Chang who succeeded as prime minister. The situation is much better than we expected."
He had always been worried that if he replaced the prime minister with a one-man show, the power of the six ministries would be transferred upwards, which might lead to "factional strife" and be extremely detrimental to the country's politics.
Now that Zhong Yao has taken over, it doesn't matter anymore.
Zhong Yao shook his head silently, and after a while he said, "Without Yang Gong in front, we must face His Majesty directly."
Xun You and Xun Yu frowned subconsciously and couldn't help but look at each other.
The emperor in the palace seems to be gentle and approachable, but in fact he is deep-minded and has long-term plans.
Xun You looked at Xun Yu and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do? At this point, are you still going to hide it?"
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's just deal with the present. Wang Lang has taken over as the Minister of Justice, and there may be major changes in the Six Ministries."
Seeing that Xun Yu refused to speak, Zhong Yao stopped Xun You who was about to continue asking questions and said, "Now that Fu Zhongcheng has been dismissed, will the Censorate be handed over to the Prince of Bohai, no, the Prince of Chenliu?"
Xun You could naturally see that, took a deep breath, and said, "There are many vacancies in the court. Your Majesty is not in a hurry to fill them. It will be by the end of this year or next year."
Zhong Yao nodded and said, "It should be next year."
Xun You glanced at Xun Yu again, suppressed his anger, and fell silent.
Xun Yu came out of the palace with a frown on his face, and was also thinking.
Zhong Yao is the heaviest among the three. He never expected that he would be the successor as prime minister!
This should be beyond everyone's expectations, right?
Prime Minister's House.
Yang Biao returned to the house and drove everyone away, drinking one cup after another.
He never liked drinking very much, but this time, he had no scruples and drank alone without leaving his mouth.
But people who are not good at drinking are still very sober after drinking a few pots, without any feeling of drunkenness.
Yang Biao sighed lightly, threw away the wine glass, opened his eyes, looked nervous and dazed, and the panic in his heart never diminished at all.
For him, he tried his best to avoid the court situation and used countless methods to do so.
In the end, he was forced into the position of prime minister by the emperor in the palace.
Even though he became the 'Prime Minister' and had unparalleled power in the world, he did not use it much. Instead, he adopted a 'do nothing' attitude and did not want to get involved in anything.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, many people in Luoyang had forgotten about the prime minister.
Now, the palace has hinted again and again that he should be named "Marquis of Huaixiang", and the meaning could not be more obvious.
But at this moment, Yang Biao was not relieved, but became even more nervous, frightened and uneasy.
squeak
In the silence, the door was pushed open and a young man appeared in Yang Biao's eyes.
Yang Biao sat up quickly, wiped his face with a towel, put on a calm and gentle smile, and said, "Dezu, didn't you go to the literary meeting? Why did you come back so early?"
Yang Xiu smelled the wine, looked at the wine pot in front of his father, sat down opposite him, and said hesitantly: "Father, I already know."
Yang Biao smiled and nodded, saying, "It's something I expected a long time ago, but there's no rush now. It should be after the New Year."
Yang Xiu frowned, feeling depressed and uncomfortable. He hesitated again and again and asked, "Father, has it reached that point?"
Yang Biao waved his hand, smiling even more, and said, "Don't think too much. Your father has always been cautious, not greedy or taking advantage of others, and always abides by the rules. There is nothing else going on."
Seeing his father being uncharacteristically friendly, Yang Biao became even more worried, but he didn't know how to start.
Since the current ruler ascended the throne, the killing has never stopped. From He Jin to the Yuan family, and then to Wang Yun, every time there were countless heads rolling and shocking the world.
His father had been the prime minister for several years, and although he did nothing, there were so many people in the government and the public who were jealous of the Yang family. Could he really withdraw from the position calmly?
Especially those things in the court that are kept secret, have not yet been concluded, and require someone to take responsibility, after the new prime minister takes office, can he really do nothing and turn a blind eye?
Yang Biao seemed to have seen through his son's thoughts and said, "Don't worry, your teacher will be transferred to the Imperial Court. Then, you can go to the Imperial Court."
Yang Xiu was startled, looked at Yang Biao, and said, "Father, you still don't know?"
Yang Biao was puzzled and asked, "Know what?"
Yang Xiu said, "Yesterday, the Grand Marshal's Office asked me to serve as the chief clerk in Cao Cao's army."
Yang Biao frowned deeply, his face looking serious.
This is not the first time that the Grand Marshal's Mansion has transferred Yang Xiu to Cao Cao's army. What does this mean?
Logically speaking, as his son, he could go anywhere, but joining Cao Cao's army was an exception.
Cao Cao is recognized as the next candidate for Grand Marshal.
Cao Cao has always been favored by the palace, and it is not surprising that he will be the next Grand Sima. However, as the son of the prime minister, entering the Grand Sima's shogunate seems to be neither fish nor fowl.
Yang Biao thought about it again and again, and said solemnly: "Reject."
Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It was possible before, father, but I'm afraid it's not possible now."
Yang Biao's expression froze, and he hesitated to speak.
He is about to "retire", and if his son refuses the appointment from the Grand Marshal's Mansion at this time, he might be held responsible by some people, which would sow trouble for him after he "retires".
Yang Biao thought for a while and said, "Forget it. Even if you go, there is no danger for the time being. Wait for your teacher to find a way to transfer you out in the future."
Yang Xiu nodded, not too concerned about himself, but looking at his father, and said: "Do you want to use some connections? I heard that Lord Cai has returned to the capital."
Although Cai Yong was involved in the Wang Yun case, he was not implicated in the end. His return to Beijing now must have the tacit approval of the palace, which is a kind of "letting go of past grudges."
As the grandfather of the eldest prince and the current father-in-law of the emperor, Cai Yong still has some influence that no one else can match.
Yang Biao shook his head and said solemnly: "At this time, there can't be any disturbance!"
