At this point in the Great Court Meeting, it is almost coming to an end.
This year's Grand Court Meeting, too many things happened, it can be described as twists and turns, the unsolved case more than 20 years ago, the conviction of the Cui family, the mystery of the life experience of the eldest princess and the son of Li Xuan, the confirmation of the position of the East Palace, and the future situation of the court. Then it settled down...
The prince has been established, and the country is stable; the princess assists the government, and the court is stable.
All the unstable factors of Jinghe and the past four years have been eliminated today.
Undoubtedly, starting from the fifth year of Jinghe, Jingguo will usher in a new era that has never been created by successive emperors.
The last item of the Great Court Meeting every year is to reward the ministers who have made meritorious service in the past year.
Jingguo is currently undergoing reforms in full swing, and many of the measures have already achieved initial results. The eldest princess is good at employing people, and she assigns them exclusively. In the past year, outstanding talents have emerged in various fields. The last item was half an hour longer than in previous years.
Many people have received generous rewards. The imperial court no longer promotes nobles, but there are no longer a few people who add officials.
Among them, the reward for the Marquis of Li County is only a few sentences, and it is not generous, but everyone is not surprised by it.
In the past year, Li Xianhou did not do anything earth-shattering as usual.
That's because his deeds have penetrated into every aspect. Today, in the court, no one knows that most of Jing Guoyou's current progress is due to the Eldest Princess, and he is the one standing behind Her Highness the Princess.
His shadow is almost behind every decree and move of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
His contribution is great, but he no longer needs rewards.
In terms of title, he was already a Marquis at the age of a weak crown. One step higher is the limit that a foreign minister can achieve.
In terms of official position, he is already a doctor of Jin Zi Guang Lu, a member of the third rank of the imperial court. Although he has a false title, he has real power.
On relationship...
He is His Majesty's most trusted subject, as long as His Majesty is still around, no one can touch him in the slightest.
The present prince and the future emperor are his close friends, and the extent of his close friends is beyond the imagination of all officials.
The current princess, the princess who is only below the prince, has always had an unclear relationship with him. It is actually unclear who is in front of whom and who is behind who, who is above and who is below.
He no longer needs to increase his status by being promoted. Such a person has already become a mountain that all officials and dignitaries cannot overcome.
Li Yi didn't care about these rewards at all. In fact, he didn't remember what the eunuch read just now.
Old fox, what the hell is an old fox.
Originally thought that it was a foregone conclusion that Li Xuan would become the crown prince and inherit the throne again, but who would have thought that there would be such an incident in the middle.
The well-behaved Pearl Princess has become the Pearl Princess again...
She is still the Pearl Princess who is assisting the government. What is the difference between this and the past
With Li Xuan's temperament, can he sit in that position? Even when he became the emperor, he has enough power to open the door for the Academy of Sciences. All court affairs and political affairs must be left to Mingzhu. Anyway, isn’t there an imperial decree? clear boundaries...
The Great Court Meeting is about to end, and only the last ceremony is left.
Some courtiers obviously still have a lot of resentment towards Marquis Li County. No one knows what His Majesty is thinking about the vague things. After receiving King Qi's gift, some people took a clear stand on King Qi's side.
As a result, King Qi's horse stumbled, and they also fell badly.
Li Yi was already depressed in his heart. Feeling the sight from his side, he turned his head and said viciously: "What are you looking at, look again, look again and dig out your eyeballs!"
The official trembled and immediately retracted his neck.
After all, the other party has become the existence with the deepest background in this dynasty. Even the prince can't afford to provoke them, and they can't afford to provoke them even more...
…
At the end of the Great Court Meeting, most of the officials who came from afar will travel around and stay there until after the Lantern Festival.
The matter of setting up a crown prince is not just to be talked about in the court, such important events of the country should be announced to the world, and the notices should be pasted on the walls of the palace and the gates of the city. In just half a day, everyone in Kyoto has already known. Secret stories, the position of the Eastern Palace... These are topics of great interest to the common people.
Li Yi seemed a little bit downhearted.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, with Li Xuan in power, Mingzhu assisting the government, the entire capital, the entire Jing country, no one can stop what they are going to do.
There are no obstacles, no enemies, myself... It seems that there is really nothing to do.
He has no intentions in the court, and he doesn't want to be promoted to a higher position. To him, the business has reached this level, and silver is just a number. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has stood at the pinnacle of his life. Now, maybe the only thing left is to pull Li Xuan off the seat and sit on it by himself...
However, this is too cheap for him to consider.
By the way, he also promised Ruyi that he would go to Wu Country to see her little apprentice, and he couldn't go alone. The place in Kyoto has been really annoying for the past few years, so he took Ruyi and the others to visit the mountains and rivers by the way. , look at the world...
Of course, before that, at the very least, Zui Mo must be married home in an upright manner, and then Ruoqing...
He took back what he said just now, obviously he still had something to do.
"Little Ring..."
From morning until now, after drinking a bowl of porridge, Li Yi was a little hungry. Li Yi habitually called Xiaohuan a few times before realizing that Xiaohuan Ruyi and Zuimo had gone out in the morning. In the past, Ruyi took Xiaohuan with her for some indispensable gatherings and entertainments. Zui Mo, as the second wife of the Li family, naturally had to go with her this year.
"Mr. Li, what's the matter?" Xiaohuan didn't agree, but saw Xiaozhu running out of the room in a hurry.
"You go and order the kitchen, let them cook a few dishes and bring them over, and bring a pot of grape wine by the way..."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Xiaozhu replied, and ran back in a hurry.
Li Yi was startled, and reminded: "The kitchen is outside, you ran the wrong way..."
…
In the clean and tidy room, a beautiful woman sat at the table, slowly turning the pages of the book.
"Sister Ruoqing..." Light footsteps came from the door, and the girl knocked on the door and walked in.
Ruoqing put down the book, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaozhu rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Li is hungry, he said he wants to eat the food made by Miss..."
Ruoqing got up and walked over, pinched her nose, and said, "He wouldn't say that, you want to eat it yourself, right?"
Xiaozhu smiled shyly, and said, "I'm thinking of him, after all, he also likes to eat the meals made by Sister Ruoqing..."
Ruoqing shook her head helplessly, and said, "Go and play by yourself for a while, I'll cook."
Xiao Zhu nodded with a smile, watched her walk out the door, the smile on her face disappeared, she sighed, and shook her head helplessly.
My young lady is really stupid, and Mr. Li is also a big idiot. It is a good opportunity for two people to get along alone, but they actually read a book in the room alone, and sat in the yard alone in a daze...
These two people, when will they be able to let themselves feel at ease...
However, if it's just eating, it seems that something is missing...
Yes, bad grapes.
The weather is cold, and the grapes need to be warmed before they can be drunk. The Li family has a special wine cellar. Xiaozhu ran all the way there, and a servant in the room immediately said, "Miss Xiaozhu, what's the matter?"
In the hearts of all servants, Miss Xiaohuan, Miss Cui and Miss Xiaozhu are different from other maids and must be treated respectfully.
"Well, your adults want to drink, help me get a pot of grape wine."
"I'll get it right away..."
"Wait a minute..."
The servant turned his head and asked doubtfully, "Sister Xiao Zhu, what else is there?"
Xiao Zhu thought for a while and said, "Take another small jug of spirits—the strongest kind."
