Several people in the East Hall of Jinxiang Hall are busy formulating national policies, including Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Zuo You, Huang Binglian and others.

Huang Binglian is now in the cabinet to assist in government administration. He was originally a prosecutor of Kaifeng Prefecture, but now he is also receiving the salary of a prosecutor.

The level of the promotor is also serving as the cabinet's auxiliary government, which shows that the new organization of the cabinet is very low; so there is almost nothing wrong with it after the cabinet appears. First, no one opposes it, and second, the level is too low and there is no need to maintain its authority. The prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall also believe that the two people in the cabinet are just helping the emperor deal with miscellaneous matters and check for omissions.

But in fact, the cabinet is slowly changing, and now they are qualified to participate in the military policy.

Huang Binglian, a Kaifeng Prefecture Promoter, received a promise from Guo Shao because he participated in the case of Zhao Guangyi's "insulting" brother and sister-in-law: there are rules in the world, and the rules are set by people; a fair and upright heart is more useful in participating in formulating human rules, but he cannot gain the power of human rules by sticking to minor details.

Guo Shao did not speak out loud. Now that Guo Shao has ascended the throne as emperor, Huang Binglian also saw his sincerity to keep his promises.

In the center of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the room was bright and clear. The emperor was behind a thin screen, so no one was making noise. It was very quiet. The "rustling" sounds from the paper can be heard occasionally, and people's words were carefully grasped. The air was filled with the fragrance of ink, and the breeze blew in from time to time through the window.

Huang Binglian worked diligently and even took the writing as seriously as calligraphy.

This place where he spoke softly and politely, Huang Binglian, who had been in criminal law for many years, smelled the breath of power. The soft brush in his hand was more powerful than a sword...

It’s like a case, which is right and wrong, which is black and which is black and which is not. The person who can make up for it is a powerful official; even those who have connections with bureaucrats can be more powerful and fearful in disputes. However, the judges must take into account the laws of the court on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must also worry about higher-level crimes and the rules in the officialdom.

This small study is the most powerful place and the place where various rules are formulated. In this circle, Huang Binglian can not only interfere in many things through his colleagues, but also participate in major events involving hundreds of millions of people... The power is so great that it can affect the fate of countless people.

Men always think that they are capable, rather than thinking that anyone can give in. Huang Binglian tasted this taste here. This taste is easy to make people obsessed.

At this moment, a eunuch carefully sent a stack of memorials in. The left You, who was behind the desk next to him, looked sideways: "Huang Fuzheng, should we do this first?"

Huang Binglian quickly put down his pen and responded with his fists.

The two of them divided the memorials to deal with them. After a while, Huang Binglian found a memorial from Prime Minister Fan Zhi, and immediately took it seriously... and hurriedly read it carefully.

This memorial quotes scriptures and explains many truths, but there is only one content: I advise the emperor not to let the harem take charge of national affairs. This harem woman of course refers to Empress Duanci Fu Jinzhan!

Huang Binglian realized that the matter was a bit serious, so he pondered for a moment and handed the memorial to Zuo You. Zuo You first calmly put down his pen and then took it over to read it. Huang Binglian saw Zuo You's expression slightly change. After a little, Zuo You handed the memorial back: "Since Huang Fuzheng got it, you will do it."

Huang Binglian picked up a yellow note, picked up the pen and thought for a long time, but couldn't write it... It was not difficult to summarize the content, but the wording could not be casual.

He stretched out his left hand to stroke the beard on his chin. After a long time of tidying up, he finally put down his brush, picked up the memorial and stood up, walked into the screen, bowed and bowed, "Your Majesty, Xianggong Fan has a memorial, please read it yourself."

"Take it." Guo Shao said. The eunuch Cao Tai stood beside him. Cao Tai came forward to get the memorial... because Huang Binglian dared not get too close to the emperor easily.

Huang Binglian did not dare to observe the emperor's expression, and immediately said, "I will leave first."

Huang Binglian took a few steps back, then walked back to his office position with attention. Zuo You looked up at him and said nothing. Huang Binglian nodded slightly, then sat back and continued to pick up a memorial and open it.

He was a disciple of the government and had no right to handle the memorials of the prime minister. He even had to be cautious in his comments. However, he knew the matter in his heart.

The emperor must be unhappy when he saw the memorial! There were rumors about the emperor and his sister-in-law. Huang Binglian didn't know whether it was true or false, but it was certain that Guo Shao favored Empress Duanci... because it was Guo Shao's intention to let her take charge of the national affairs in the West Palace, and it was something he was willing to do.

Now that Fan Zhi doesn’t let Guo Shao do what he wants, can Guo Shao be happy?

However, Huang Binglian thought again: This matter is not that simple.

The new national policy is not only to form a "country chariot", but it also involves many aspects such as military system, corvee service, taxes, etc. The emperor must want the officials to support him convincingly, rather than dealing with the matter.

Is Fan Zhi’s memorial just his personal opinion, or is it a thought for a group of people? If it is the latter, Guo Shao must consider it more.

Huang Binglian didn't say a word, and couldn't help but turn to look at Zuo You again. Unexpectedly, Zuo You were also looking at him, and the two looked at each other. This action made Huang Binglian feel a little confused.

...

As soon as the hour of You came, the bells and drums on Xuande Gate rang, and they were clearly heard in Jinxiang Hall. Guo Shao stood up and said, "All my dear friends will finish today's work."

Zuo You and others stood up and bowed, and said together: "Greatly send him to Your Majesty."

Everyone waited for Guo Shao and the palace people to leave the East Palace, and Wang Pu, the highest official privy envoy here, said, "Cleaning up and doing it tomorrow."

The east hall gradually became lively, and everyone exchanged a few greetings, sometimes even making jokes.

Zuo You also left Jinxiang Hall with a few people. After walking out of Donghua Gate, he said goodbye to his colleagues, each getting on a carriage or riding a horse home. But Zuo You could not go home tonight, so he wanted to go to the home of the Imperial Army General Luo Yanhuan.

Luo Yanhuan’s birthday today.

There are rules for holding banquets at this time, and only those over 60 years old can hold birthday banquets. In his prime years like Luo Yanhuan, even if he has the status, he cannot hold a banquet in Tokyo casually. On his birthday, he only invited his old friends from Tokyo to have a meal at home.

Zuo You and him were not only officials in the same dynasty, but also friends. So Zuo You had to go.

The two have a good personal relationship, because Luo Yanhuan can be today, and the person who guides him is Zuo You...

When the Privy Councilor Wang Jun was arrogant and domineering, he attempted to control Taizu Guo Wei, and was cleaned up his followers. Luo Yanhuan was implicated and demoted. When Luo Yanhuan met Zuo You, he was in a free yamen and went to the public to make a living every day. Because Zuo You introduced him, Luo Yanhuan joined Guo Shao's account and was quickly reused.
