Considering that the offices of the three provinces and six ministries were located on the left and right sides of Taiji Palace, Yang Zheng stayed in West Pavilion Garden to deal with government affairs, making it convenient for him to communicate with the ministers.
Since they were assisting under the will of Emperor Gaozu, Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king, personally took the lead to gather the memorials in the West Pavilion Garden so that the emperor could learn how to handle government affairs.
Needless to say, Wu Jianzhang, Qiu Rui, Zhangsun Sheng, and Su Wei were all loyal ministers.
Take Wu Jianzhang for example…
When he discovered Yang Guang's crimes, Wu Jianzhang put on mourning clothes and held a mourning stick in his hand. He directly went to the palace to scold the king.
It was the few teeth that had been knocked out by the copper hammer, and the tongue that had been cut off by the knife. Such a tragic scene was completely imaginable. It was definitely bloody.
However, even after Wu Jianzhang's tongue was cut off and his mouth was spewing blood, he still did not change his original intention and continued to curse Yang Guang.
One could tell that Wu Jianzhang was a man of integrity and was truly dedicated to the country.
It was precisely because of this reason that Emperor Gaozu had sent several ministers to assist him, specially making them assistant ministers.
It was to prevent himself from being controlled by the court and to prevent the imperial power from falling.
Don't forget!
Yang Zheng was very clear about how Great Sui established its country during Emperor Gaozu's era.
It was Emperor Gaozu who launched a coup and usurped the regime of Bei Zhou, making the little emperor abdicate.
In other words, when the emperor was young, had no prestige, and did not have a civil and military team, it formed a prerequisite for seizing the throne.
If he met an important official with great power, even if he was unwilling, his subordinates would support him.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the regime had changed one after another, and it was normal to change dynasties.
Yang Zheng had already recognized the Emperor Gaozu's good intentions when he announced the posthumous edict.
Even if he ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Great Sui, it would be an eventful period.
The position of the Emperor was still in danger. At least, he could not relax easily before he took over the power.
Looking at the four auxiliary ministers, Yang Zheng slowly sat in front of the imperial table. Then, the curtain of power was lifted from this moment.
He picked up a memorial. The contents of it were how to deal with Yang Guang.
Amongst them were the civil and military officials appointed when he was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. A portion of the world belonged to Yang Guang's former subordinates.
"Your Majesty, these are all important memorials to the imperial court, and they are related to the major affairs of the country.”
"Every memorial will have a corresponding signature to facilitate classification.”
Seeing Tian Zi pick up the memorial that he had prepared beforehand, Qiu Rui first bowed and began to introduce it.
Perhaps it sounded very ordinary, but it was all basic knowledge on the path of being a ruler.
However…
It just showed that Qiu Rui was conscientious and did not beat around the bush. He did what he had to do, which was in line with the clean and neat style of a soldier.
"Your Majesty, please deal with this memorial. We will look through it. I hope Your Majesty can forgive us.”
This time, Qiu Rui, Zhangsun Sheng, and the other auxiliary officials all stepped forward to bow, hoping that the emperor would understand their unintentional offense.
Even if the emperor would blame him for this, it was nothing compared to Emperor Gaozu's last minute instructions.
It was for this reason that they decided to let Tian Zi handle an important matter first.
Firstly, it could make the Son of Heaven appear reasonable on the surface and prevent unnecessary conflicts between the monarch and his subjects.
Secondly, he wanted to see the emperor's ability to handle government affairs so that he could assist him in the next step.
Tian Zi was indeed intelligent, but it did not mean that his ability to handle government affairs was first-class. This point still needed to be observed.
How to settle Yang Guang, how to deal with the civil and military officials of the Eastern Palace, and how to deal with their trusted aides.
Dealing with this matter could be said to be simple, but it could also be said to be difficult. It was a test of one's ability to handle government affairs.
From the corner of his eye, Yang Zheng noticed a few memorials with a line of small words written on them.
It was about the Tuyuhun, the Turks, and other barbarians beyond the Great Wall!
Obviously, the first memorial he dealt with was indeed a test of how high his processing ability was.
If it was handled perfectly, it would be equivalent to obtaining the approval of several auxiliary ministers and could continue to participate in government affairs.
Including participating in foreign affairs regarding the barbarians!
On the contrary, he would only be allowed to browse while learning.
If he couldn't achieve this step perfectly, he might not be able to discuss matters with the ministers for a period of time.
At that time, he was sure that the four auxiliary officials would consider letting him learn first and accumulate some experience.
All paths were walked by oneself, including the supreme imperial power.
Facing such a test, Yang Zheng had nothing to fear!
"Don't worry, I won't blame you.”
After thinking about it, Yang Zheng was indifferent and did not blame the auxiliary minister for such a small detail.
Until now, the system notification still hadn't come, which meant that the impact of this palace coup was far from over.
Therefore, handling this matter well was both a private matter and an official matter. The two did not conflict.
The Son of Heaven was indeed wise!
Feeling the emperor's courtesy, the four auxiliary ministers looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Being able to assist such an emperor, as a subject, there was nothing more worth being happy about.
It seemed that Emperor Gaozu's change of position before his death was undoubtedly very wise.
Looking at the performance of the four auxiliary ministers, Yang Zheng thought to himself that they were all loyal officials who could entrust important matters to him.
This time, the outcome of the matter would determine whether or not he could take power in advance.
Only by quickly gaining power could he complete those great achievements.
Picking up the memorial that was handed over, Yang Zheng pondered for a short while…
As the second brother in name, Yang Guang had been the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace for twenty years!
In the world, Xue Shixiong was one of the old subordinates in Hebei.
As for the civil and military officials of the Eastern Palace, there was Yuwen Huaji, who was able to adapt to the situation, and Yang Su, the King of Yue, who was secretly acting as a spy.
These three people were only a part of the group…
Raising his pen, Yang Zheng started to write about this matter and the specific way to deal with it.
Could it be that Tian Zi thought of a countermeasure so quickly?
Zhangsun Sheng was stunned when he received the backup report. He was very surprised.
It wasn't that he was doubting him, but that the process was too fast. It had only been a short while.
One had to know that even if they wanted to deal with this matter, they would have to spend a lot of time and energy.
This was because this series of events involved the King of Jin and his old subordinates scattered all over the world.
There were many factors to consider, and it was not easy to deal with.
