"What are you thinking!"
Li Yi flexed his fingers and flicked her forehead, and said, "This edict will not count until you grow up."
Among the little girls, Duan Wu is well-behaved, Yong Ning is cute and eccentric, only Shou Ning has countless ghosts, God knows what is going on in her little head.
"They mean growing up!" Shou Ning ran away, clutching his forehead with a chuckle, and came back quickly, asking, "How old is grown up?"
Li Yi rubbed her hair and said, "When you grow up, you will know."
…
After Shouning ran away, Li Yi thought about what happened just now, turned his head to look at Mingzhu and said, "Li Xuan doesn't think things through his head, you should suppress him a bit."
"Are you talking about the position of Prime Minister?" Li Mingzhu thought for a while, then looked at him and said, "But I think this position is quite suitable for you. Don't you want to be in trouble with me?"
"Wolf is a traitor..." Li Yi shook his head and asked, "Who is wolf and who is embarrassment?"
Li Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "I'm embarrassing, I like being on top."
…
Since the death of the first emperor at the beginning of the year, the court has been generally stable, and it was not until April that there was another disturbance.
Qin Xiang resigned from office many times to retire, and after His Majesty agreed, he was named "Special Advancement". This is also a loose official who does not directly participate in court affairs. His status is still higher than that of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, and he has the right to attend court meetings. Greetings are like prime ministers.
The two sides on the left and right are the two towering giant pillars of the court hall. Now that one giant pillar has fallen, it is natural to erect another one earlier.
In recent years, Jing Guo's court has gradually become younger, and there are not many elders like Qin Xiang and Shen Xiang, and because of old age, they are not suitable for this position.
A country can be without a king for a day, but it cannot be without a prince for a day.
At the court meeting in early April, the position of right minister was naturally the top priority.
The imperial court tends to be younger, but it is not too young and old. The Wang family, the Shen family, and a limited number of officials with seniority and ability may all be options.
Of course the Shen family didn't need to think about it, above the court, it is impossible for the two prime ministers on the left and right to come from the Shen family, the Shen family themselves would not participate, and it is impossible for all the officials to agree.
The other officials, either because of insufficient qualifications or insufficient background, are also at a disadvantage in the battle of phases.
On the bright side, the Wang family is the most hopeful.
Coupled with the reason of the empress, the officials almost believed that the Wang family was going to a new level this time.
However, His Majesty tried his best to confer the position of Right Prime Minister to Marquis of Li County, but it made all the officials drop their jaws in shock.
Although His Majesty favors and trusts Li County Marquis, he has to share the rain and dew evenly with all the officials in the court. He is too emotional, wishing to pile all the good things on Li County Marquis's head, which is a bit too much...
What's more, the position of prime minister is not Chinese cabbage, it is the cornerstone of the imperial court, which requires both ability and seniority. Li Xianhou's ability, no one doubts, but this seniority...
Forget it, let’s not talk about qualifications, the court has formed a certain atmosphere in the past two years, only talk about ability, not about qualifications, you can do what you want, you can’t change people, don’t say who your father is, Don't tell me who your grandpa is...
Of course, if the two people's ability is not far behind, it depends on the father and the grandfather.
As for Li Xianhou, no one in the Manchu Dynasty doubted his ability, because his ability was too strong, and the qualifications caused by his young age were ignored, and he didn't even care about whether there was such a precedent...
But the problem is - he's lazy!
Although he is in a high position, many officials can only see him once in the court meeting. He is the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences, but he only regards the School of Mathematical Sciences as a fishing ground. He is capable—but he is lazy!
If Li Xianhou really became the prime minister, what is the difference between the court and only one prime minister
At that time, Prime Minister Shen will be alone in dealing with affairs of the DPRK and China, and I am afraid that he will not be far away from resigning from office...
Li Xuan's idea naturally aroused the opposition of the officials.
Of course, for them, Li Xianhou has no other shortcomings except laziness, and their opposition is still very subtle. Even so, the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers is still somewhat unpleasant.
…
Li Yi realized that he knew him better than Li Xuan himself. Couldn't this guy's brain really turn around a little bit
"The position of the right minister, you can leave it to the Wang family, or let Dong Wenyun take it..." Li Yi looked at him solemnly, and said: "Don't trouble me anymore, if you dare to make me the prime minister, I will immediately kill you." Leaving Kyoto…”
"I know you don't care about it, but I just can't understand their appearance!" Li Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Since I, the emperor, can't decide anything, why do they let me be the emperor?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked back: "Do you think you can do whatever you want when you are an emperor?"
Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "The more they want it, the more I won't give it to them, the more you don't want it, I have to give it to you..."
Li Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "Now that we have reached this point, in fact..., what I just said was a lie to you. As a scholar, who doesn't want to be a general, I refused because I Knowing that the more I don’t want you, the more you want to give it, this is the easiest way to retreat, do you understand?”
Li Xuan looked at him, frowned and said, "So, you actually want to be the prime minister?"
Li Yi nodded solemnly, and said, "I won't hide it from you now, I really want to be the prime minister."
"If you want to do it, you should have said so!"
Li Xuan patted his thigh and said: "If you had said that earlier, I would have agreed when Prime Minister Qin resigned for the first time. I was afraid that you would not be happy. Now it's all right, and I will make an order tomorrow morning!"
"—"
One must abide by the rules, and those who do not follow the rules will be struck by lightning!
"Uncle, Lao Liu is here." Just when Li Yi was curious about why he became so cheap after becoming the emperor, Lao Fang led County Magistrate Liu in.
It can be said that Liu Dayou has interpreted the phrase "No matter what happens, go to the Temple of Three Treasures" to the extreme. Every time he comes, there must be a big event.
And it's a bad thing.
Therefore, Lao Fang called him the broom star in private.
"Liu Dayou sees His Majesty!" Liu Dayou first saluted Li Xuan respectfully, then turned around, bowed and said, "I have seen Lord Li."
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Master Liu is here this time, could something important happen?"
Liu Dayou shook his head again and again, and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that two young men were jealous of a brothel woman and demolished a brothel, both of them were slightly injured, and they are still detained by the county government..."
Is it necessary for Liu Da to come over and tell him about the jealousy between the two dandies? Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "I guess one of the young men should be named Li?"
Liu Da nodded and said, "One of them is Li Yingjie, the eldest son of Li Shilang from the Ministry of Officials..."
"What about the other one?"
"The other... surnamed Wang."
Li Yingjie is the son of his second uncle Li Mingze, who is about the same age as him. Li Yi has met him many times, but he has never said a few words. rare.
Not to mention that his father was a servant minister who was on the rise in his official career, even with this surname, not many people in Kyoto would take the initiative to provoke him.
The arrival of Liu Dayou has already explained everything, Li Yi stood up and said, "Go and see."
