Li Yu saw that Prime Minister Yuan Zai and Prince Li Shi wanted Zhao Ziliang to share each other's rights, but neither was willing to give up his own rights.
He felt a headache for a while.
Facing Zhao Ziliang, his uncle who was only a few years older than him, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
When he was upset, he couldn't help but glance at the eunuch Ju Wenzhen standing next to him.
Ju Wenzhen was his most trusted eunuch.
"Ju Wenzhen, what kind of official position do you think should be assigned to Zhao Ziliang?"
Ju Wenzhen actually had an indifferent attitude towards this matter.
He was even happy to see Zhao Ziliang take away the rights that belonged to the emperor Li Shi and the prime minister Yuan Zai.
He was a eunuch and had no right to participate in politics.
He now controls the Shence Army, and The Shence Army is responsible for the security of the palace.
As long as he controls this power, The emperor could not live without him.
As long as the holy favor lasted, he would have nothing to worry about.
Of course, he would also be happy if he could obtain the rights in government and military affairs.
If he could defeat the two factions of the prince and the prime minister, of course he would also be happy, so He said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is well known to all.
The ministers were all at their wits' end, and only the King of Western Qin had the ability to bring order to the chaos.
Since he could take the initiative to ask for help, it shows that he is confident, and His Majesty has also issued an order to recruit him to Chang'an.
No matter what, the court should give him a An official position that allows him to do whatever he wants, and he is a member of the Western Qin Dynasty King, if the official position given is too low, I'm afraid he won't be willing to do it.
I think that at least he should be given a job as a subordinate of Tong Zhongshu.
Now that the treasury is empty, didn't His Highness the Crown Prince just say that Zhao Ziliang is good at managing politics?
He must be good at managing money, so why not let him take charge of the household department?"
The Ministry of Household Affairs is the sphere of influence of Prime Minister Yuan Zai.
In addition, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Officials are all within Yuan Zai's sphere of influence.
The prince only has the Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry, as well as four of the Nine Ministers, three of whom belong to the Prime Minister. faction, and the remaining two belong to the eunuch faction.
Prince Li Shi saw that Ju Wenzhen suggested that Zhao Ziliangfen should take over the power of the prime minister faction.
Of course, he was not willing to join the eunuch faction to attack the prime minister faction, so he immediately added insult to injury and said to Li Yu: "Father, the problem of our government now is not just the empty treasury. , the household department does not As a matter of fact, corruption among the central and local officials is serious.
Officials at all levels are corrupt, bend the law, and regard the laws of the Tang Dynasty as nothing.
If you want to reverse the situation, you must start from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment.
Erchen believes that in addition to the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is better to Let Zhao Ziliang still be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment."
After hearing what Li Shi said, Prime Minister Yuan Zai's face turned green on the spot, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, Prince, you are such a naughty boy, you really want to fight with me today.
Well, well, well, since you are unkind, don't Blame me for being unjust” Yuan Zai immediately said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, but in addition to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War should also be handed over to Zhao Ziliang.
Everyone knows that Zhao Ziliang is a master of military affairs. , commanding the troops to fight, we will be victorious and we will conquer everything.
The Ministry of War is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Ministry of War is managed well, we will be able to train a large number of brave sergeants for the Tang Dynasty.
It is most appropriate to hand over the Ministry of War to Zhao Ziliang."
Yuan Zai is holding you to prevent me from having an easy time, and I will not let you feel comfortable.
Since you want to fight, I will fight you to the end.
This made Li Sheng furious on the spot, pointing at Yuan Zai and yelling: "Yuan Zai, you Old guy, what do you want to do?
Are you deliberately trying to get into trouble with me?"
This was full of foul language.
Ju Wenzhen watched with great joy.
He even pretended to come forward to break up the fight: "Oh, Prince Tianxia and Yuan Xiang, don't be impulsive when you go.
A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything.
If you have anything to say, Your Majesty How can you two disturb the Holy Master here?"
Ju Wenzhen's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Li Yu, who was already in a very agitated mood, patted the imperial court on the spot, got up angrily and scolded: "That's enough, I came to you for discussion, not for you to pinch me."

There is no need to discuss this matter anymore.
Since Ju Wenzhen said that the Ministry of Household Affairs should be handed over to Zhao Ziliang, the prince also said that the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment should be handed over to Zhao Ziliang, and Yuan Zai also said that the Ministry of Finance should be handed over to Zhao Ziliang.
If the Ministry of War is handed over to Zhao Ziliang, I think it would be better to appoint Zhao Ziliang as Prime Minister directly, with full authority to handle major military and political affairs in the DPRK and China.
He will be directly responsible to me.
All of you must help and cooperate with him to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
The Tang Dynasty can no longer be in chaos.
If the chaos continues, the Tang Dynasty will be over.
I hope that none of you will disappoint me.
This matter has been decided.
I will send an order for Zhao Ziliang to enter the palace immediately to see him."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Ju Wenzhen, who was next to him, agreed happily and turned around and walked out of the Zichen Palace.
Prince Li Shi and Yuan Zai glared at each other with ugly faces.
No one expected that both sides would suffer in the end.
Zhao Ziliang was dealing with the memorial sent urgently from Xinjing with the ministers and generals.
Xuan Jiu walked in quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, the emperor has sent the eunuch from the palace to see the king.
He is right outside the door.
Do you want to invite him?
Come in" Zhao Ziliang and the ministers and generals looked at each other and said, "The emperor sent people here just to discuss the appointment with me."
After saying that, Zhao Ziliang said to Xuan Jiu: "Invite him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Xuan Jiu quickly walked in with a eunuch.
The eunuch smiled and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "The Za family has met the Lord Zhao."
Zhao Ziliang stood up in surprise and walked out from behind the desk and said: "Oh, why did Eunuch Ju come here in person to convey the order?
Just send a young eunuch here."
Ju Wenzhen said with a smile: "If it were someone else, of course the Zajia family would just send a young eunuch over, but you are the king of Western Qin.
How can the Zajia family show the importance of the emperor and the court if they don't come in person?
Besides, that day with the king As soon as they met in the palace, the Zajia family was impressed by the king's charm and had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to him."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, and said quickly: "I was also planning to take time to visit Eunuch Ju's house, but I haven't been free these days.
By the way, Eunuch, please sit down.
Man, serve good tea.”
Ju Wenzhen smiled and said politely: "Your Majesty, please stop busying yourself.
His Majesty is still waiting in the palace.
Please come with me to have an audience."
"That's fine," Zhao Ziliang agreed.
He immediately explained some matters to the ministers and generals and then followed Ju Wenzhen to the palace.
Following Ju Wenzhen to the Zichen Hall, Zhao Ziliang saw Crown Prince Li Shi and Prime Minister Yuan Zai standing aside.
Both of them looked not very good-looking.
In addition, there were several other ministers.
He didn't pay attention and walked to the middle of the hall.
He cupped his fists and saluted Daizong: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Yu raised his hand with a smile and said: "Uncle, I don't have to be polite to invite you here today.
I discussed it with several of my dear friends and decided to appoint you as prime minister, with full power to handle military and political affairs.
Only one person is responsible for it, the prince and Yuan Yuan."
Zai, Wang Jin, Du Hongjian and others will help you, what do you think?"
"Prime Minister, no wonder the prince and Yuan Zai's faces are so ugly.
That's how it is."

Zhao Ziliang murmured in his heart and said to Li Yu: "I thank your Majesty for entrusting me with this important task.
I can't hide it from you.
I didn't expect that your Majesty would trust me so much that he would give me full authority to handle the affairs of the North Korean and Chinese military formations.
This makes me feel that it is okay."
I'm showing off my skills, but I'm also a little worried, lest I betray His Majesty's trust.
But your majesty, since your majesty has decided to make me the prime minister, it is better to make me the regent.
I am only responsible to your majesty.
The rights of the two are actually the same, but the names are different, and the title of the prime minister is the same as that of several prime ministers.
There is some overlap in official positions, which will make officials and civilians confused."
Li Yu thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he agreed: "My uncle is right.
Then I will appoint you as the regent of the Tang Dynasty.
Uncle, you don't have to feel burdened.
Since I have made you the regent, I fully trust your talents and loyalty." , just go ahead and do it, I will support you."
"I obey the decree" Li Yu asked again: "Uncle, since you have become the regent, I wonder how you will decide to proceed after taking office."
Zhao Ziliang said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty, I am now telling your Majesty what I will do and how I will promise you.
I am afraid that your Majesty will not believe it too much, and my colleagues present will also think that I am talking big words, because I am very familiar with the situation in the DPRK and other places.
The situation in the vassal towns is not well understood yet.
I need time to understand the situation in the court and the local vassal towns before I can formulate policy measures.
Your Majesty, rest assured that the Tang Dynasty is not that weak yet, so you can still afford to wait for this time."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, but he was soon satisfied with Zhao Ziliang's answer and laughed: "Okay, uncle is indeed a talented person.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would be boasting in front of me now, but My uncle did not, which is enough to show that my uncle is a mature and prudent person.
I am relieved.
I have asked the imperial kitchen to add some dishes for lunch.
My uncle, please stay and eat with me."
The emperor's reward of a royal banquet is a great honor for the ministers.
The ministers must not refuse.
Zhao Ziliang quickly agreed: "Yes, I will obey the order."
During lunch, Li Yu confided in Zhao Ziliang and said, "Uncle, you don't know.
It's not easy for me to be the emperor.
My grandfather and father left such a mess for me.
I walk on thin ice every day and tremble with fear." , I am afraid that because of your mistakes, you have ruined the country of your ancestors, and you have heard about it, and you are responsible for the situation in the DPRK and China, Those ministers only care about power and gain, but do not see the crisis in the court.
Just say it to me.
I have been forced by the rebels twice to leave Chang'an and flee for my life, once to Shaanxi County and once to Fengtian.
At that time, my grandfather and father They were all chased by the rebels and had to escape.
What happened to our Tang Dynasty?
Why is it that people are not as popular as they used to be, and everyone is thinking of betraying me and the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, there are only a few people who have different intentions.
The vast majority of people in this world are loyal to Your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty.
Let's talk about why these rebels rebelled.
First of all, they have the strength to rebel.
They All the generals and officials under his command They were promoted by them, so those people are loyal to these rebels.
They are in charge of the army, government affairs, and financial power.
In other words, they have military power, and they can appoint officials and generals by themselves, as well as money.
As a result, their ambitions began to expand People's desires are endless, and once their ambitions expand, these people will get out of control.
At that time, the ministers suggested to the two late emperors that Jiedushi envoys could no longer be divided, and Jiedushi envoys could be established in border areas.

This was to enable them to Take military action against surrounding barbarians faster and better Action.
But we can no longer set up Jiedushi envoys in Guanzhong, the hinterland of the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Shu, and Lingnan.
Your Majesty, look at it now.
Jiedushi envoys have been overrun.
Those who rebelled are all Jiedushi envoys.
They have The soldiers have officials and money, so it is easy to raise an army to rebel
