Qin Hui's words instantly reminded Gu Fengming. Indeed, Qin Hui's position was that of a censor, and this position seemed rather awkward.
The responsibility of the imperial censor was to impeach and supervise the officials. This attribute was placed there, and it would inevitably arouse the fear of the officials.
Qin Hui was also the only one of the four powerful ministers who needed to rely on the royal family.
Although Qin Hui had committed all kinds of crimes in history, colluding with the enemy and betraying the country had caused Yue Fei's death. However, the Qin Hui in front of him was really the one who did the least evil among the four powerful officials. And the dirt in his hands was indeed very important for Gu Fengming to take down Sima Yi and the others.
Thinking of this, Gu Fengming's expression suddenly became rich.
"Mr. Qin, this king is only a nine-year-old child. Aren't you afraid that you'll die if you bet on this king?”
Gu Fengming narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party.
"Your Highness is too modest. Although Your Highness is only nine years old, the fact that His Majesty can entrust the country to Your Highness shows that Your Highness is not an ordinary person. Furthermore, His Highness was able to use Sima Zhao to easily make Sima Yi hesitate. This showed that His Highness 'wisdom was extraordinary. In the face of the Grand Commandant, Your Highness is even more fearless and can control the Imperial Palace in an instant. Your Highness told me that you are a child, but I didn't agree.”
Qin Hui smiled. The expression on his face was the kind of expression that said,'Don't pretend to be so pretentious with me. I know very well what you're capable of.'
In fact, Qin Hui had just seen Gu Fengming's every move. As a speculator, Qin Hui had a vision that was different from ordinary people.
"Your Highness, I know you won't believe me. How about this, how about this subject deliver a pledge of allegiance to Your Highness?”
"A pledge of allegiance?"
Gu Fengming looked at Qin Hui.
"If Your Highness wants to control the court, you must first control the six departments. As for the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, it's best for Your Highness to forget about the Ministry of Personnel. It's not very useful to Your Highness. After all, most of the people in the court are Wang Mang, Sima Yi, and An Lushan's people.”
"As for the Bureau of Military Personnel, they are the foundation of An Lushan and Sima Yi. If you touch them, they will definitely be angry with you.”
"The Ministry of Justice is this lowly official's people. As long as Your Highness says the word, this lowly official is willing to bring the Ministry of Justice to surrender to Your Highness.”
"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works are useless to Your Highness now. Most importantly, Your Highness needs to take down the Ministry of Revenue!”
"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the economic lifeline of the Great Feng Dynasty. This Ministry of Revenue also has the most power. There were Wang Mang's men, Sima Yi's men, and An Lushan's men. If you were to attack the Ministry of Revenue, it would be very difficult for the Ministry of Revenue to work together. If you could take down the Ministry of Revenue, then the economic lifeline of the Great Feng Dynasty would return to Your Highness 'hands, and Your Highness would have the right to speak in the court.”
"I am willing to lend Your Highness a helping hand. When the time comes, Your Highness only needs to instruct me on anything, and I will lead the Imperial Censorate to take the lead for Your Highness.”
Qin Hui looked at Gu Fengming and said with a smile.
Gu Fengming was moved. Qin Hui's words immediately pierced Gu Fengming's heart. Indeed, in order to stabilize the court, they had to first move the six ministries. Only by controlling the six ministries would they be qualified to talk to these powerful officials.
At that time, what would Gu Fengming do? Would the other party still have the ability to fight against him?
Among the six departments, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were the most important. Unfortunately, the Bureau of Military Personnel was the lead, and Gu Fengming could easily be dealt with. Haste makes waste, so Gu Fengming could not be moved. Then, he could only think about the Ministry of Revenue first. With money, what could Gu Fengming not do?
"If we cooperate with the fate of the country obtained from Zhang Banxian, will we really have a chance to move to the Ministry of Revenue?”
Thinking about how he had obtained the fate of the country from Zhang Banxian, coupled with the black material in Qin Hui's hands, Gu Fengming felt that there was really something to be done.
"Tell me, who should the Ministry of Revenue touch first?”
Gu Fengming had an idea and looked at Qin Hui.
"Your Highness, the Minister of Revenue, He Shen, is Wang Mang's man. The Left Assistant Minister, Cai Jing, is An Lushan's man. The Right Assistant Minister, Yan Song, is Sima Yi's man. You just offended Sima Yi, so Yan Song shouldn't move. Also, His Highness had offended Cai Jing just now, so it would be best if he didn't do anything. In my opinion, either we don't move, or we move the biggest one, Heshen!”
Qin Hui's eyes flashed as he looked at Gu Fengming and gave his opinion.
"F * ck, this is a rat in the warehouse. How can it be good? He Shen, Yan Song, Cai Jing, this bunch of f * cking corrupt officials?”
Gu Fengming was almost speechless. When he heard that there were a few people in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, his face was filled with black lines. In history, these three guys were not good people. One was more greedy than the other. No wonder the Great Phoenix Dynasty had become poorer and poorer these years. How could the Ministry of Revenue be good with these people?
"Alright, I'll listen to you. How about this, this king will prepare. When the time comes, you and I will attack He Shen together. If we can eliminate He Shen, this king will acknowledge you as a person. At that time, after Wang Mang was overthrown, the position of Prime Minister could also fall on the king.”
Gu Fengming knew what kind of character Qin Hui was. He definitely did not help him out of conscience. It was just the result of judging the situation.
Gu Fengming naturally understood this point. That was why he did not mind giving the other party some benefits. He would first stabilize him. It would not be too late to deal with him after he had eliminated the three powerful ministers.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!"
Qin Hui smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Court!"
The second day, Taiji Palace.
On the throne, Gu Changge, who was dressed in the crown prince's official robe, sat on the dragon throne timidly. Although he had yet to ascend the throne, it was obvious that the overall situation had been set. The Crown Prince's ascension was a matter of time.
According to the ancestral system of the Great Feng Dynasty, the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne half a month after the previous Emperor's death. During this half a month, the heir would temporarily be involved in state affairs as the Crown Prince.
Below Gu Changge, Gu Fengming was also dressed in a king's robe and sat on the throne.
At this moment, the hall was filled with civil and military officials. It was Gu Fengming's first time attending court as the regent.
Looking at the two children, one nine years old and the other five years old, sitting in the highest positions of power in the country, the officials below looked at each other in dismay. They were both amused and angry.
"Dear ministers, from today onwards, this king will temporarily take charge of the state affairs.”
Gu Fengming looked at the group of people below and knew what they were thinking. However, Gu Fengming did not care. The more they looked down on him, the bigger the surprise Gu Fengming would give them.
"What are you waiting for? Why are you looking at me? If you have any memorials, report them to His Highness the King of Qin.”
Wang Mang was pleased to find that many people were looking at him. He glanced at them and said,
"This subject, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Jiang Chong, has a report!”
"Jiang Chong?"
"The Jiang Chong who created the curse of witchcraft?”
"Good fellow!"
Hearing this name, Gu Fengming was already numb. He sneered in his heart and looked at the other party.
"Speak!"
