When the first emperor was in power, he was diligent in governing the government, except for serious illnesses or special circumstances. For decades, the early dynasty was rarely cut off.
Although His Majesty is far from being able to compare with the previous emperor in terms of diligence in government affairs, the early court is still held every day, but the person who presides over the early court has been replaced by the Eldest Princess.
In this regard, the civil and military officials have long formed a habit. It is not surprising that they did not see His Majesty in the early court, but it is strange to see His Majesty.
Therefore, when they stood neatly in the hall and saw the princess and His Majesty coming out from both sides, they were a little surprised in their hearts.
Today is not the first day of junior high school, nor is it any special day. It is really rare for His Majesty to come to court.
As for whether His Majesty has regretted the previous slack, it is beyond the guess of these courtiers. After a little surprise, the morning court was still held as usual.
An official of the Academy of Sciences reported in detail the recent research progress of the Academy of Sciences; the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites advised His Majesty to expand the harem to stabilize the country; an older censor bluntly said that the position cannot be vacant. Must be confirmed soon...
The emperor highly affirmed the research of the Academy of Sciences, but turned a deaf ear to the words of the Minister of Rites, and then looked at the ministers, and said slowly: "For the matter of phase, I have someone in my mind, so you don't need to say more."
Many people in the court heard the words and felt bitter in their hearts. The reason why they want to talk more is because His Majesty already has someone in mind...
The candidate in his heart is really not suitable for the aspect...
Li Xuan looked at the eunuch beside him, and said slowly: "Let's announce the decree."
"Follow the order."
The eunuch nodded respectfully, took out an imperial edict, stepped forward, and glanced at the officials below.
It was this glance that made everyone feel a bad premonition.
At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice came from above.
"The imperial edict said..."
Just hearing the words "Zhaoyue", countless people's hearts sank.
The wording of the imperial decree is particular, with different contents and wordings. There are mainly three types: "Zhaoyue", "Zhiyue" and "Chiyue".
"Imperial Day" has the meaning of admonishment in addition to awarding rewards. "Zhi Yue" is used to announce the officials and express the emperor's favor.
His Majesty appointed the crown prince and conferred the title of princess, using the "edict".
The important thing is, to seal the prime minister—the "Zhaoyue" is not needed.
"Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County, Tianhui is intelligent and has made great achievements. Since the early years of Jinghe, he has created divine punishment, offered horseshoes, changed torture, repelled enemy envoys, taught arithmetic, and avoided floods..."
The eunuch was still chanting loudly, and the ears of all the officials in the palace were buzzing.
Li Yi, Marquis of Chang'an County... Sure enough, sure enough!
As expected, His Majesty still refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way, intending to confer the title of Marquis of Li County as Prime Minister. This will be the youngest prime minister and the laziest prime minister in the history of Jingguo.
Immediately, the faces of several censors and veteran officials changed, and they stood out from the crowd. Before the imperial decree was finished, they could not interrupt it, otherwise it would be a felony. But at this moment, everyone could see clearly the determination on their faces.
"Cleaning up moths, sweeping up traitors, promoting reforms..., they have made great achievements, and they have been named King Jing to show God's grace, and they will be passed on forever.
The eunuch's voice was still echoing in the hall, and someone in the hall finally relaxed.
not prime minister...
It turned out that it was just conferring King Jing, not a prime minister. It seems that His Majesty is still, or...
King... King King
One word king!
"Jing" is the national title of Jing Kingdom. King Jing has always been the most respected prince. Since decades ago, there has been no King Jing in the royal family. Now, His Majesty actually gave this title to a different surname— A man who is not royal!
This is simply ridiculous!
Skate the jokes of the world!
Li Mingzhu looked at Li Xuan with a serious face, her lips moved, but she still didn't say anything in the end.
"His Majesty!"
"Think twice, Your Majesty!"
"It's against the ancestral system for a foreign minister to become king, Your Majesty, think twice!"
…
The court had already exploded, and countless ministers knelt down on the spot and said loudly.
"My will has been decided!" Li Xuan waved his hand and walked out from the side.
A eunuch shouted loudly: "Retire!"
"Shen Xiang, say something!"
"My lord, this matter cannot be allowed to let His Majesty go his own way!"
"Master Yang, you go to see the Empress Dowager, you can't let Your Majesty be so nonsense!"
"Princess, Your Highness, please persuade Your Majesty again!"
…
After the officials got up, they immediately pinned their last hopes on several important officials in the court.
The Patriarch of the Wang family sighed. He knew why His Majesty would do this, so he also knew that His Majesty could not withdraw this edict.
An old man shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is different from the former emperor. At this time, it is useless for anyone to speak..."
Shen Xiang looked out of the hall with cloudy eyes, and murmured: "No, there is another person. His Majesty will definitely listen to what he said."
A harem, a palace somewhere.
Wang Qin brought a cup of tea, put it in front of Li Xuan, and said softly, "My husband, don't be angry..."
"They said I was suspicious of him..." Li Xuan held her hand and asked her to sit aside, then sighed, and said, "Qin'er, tell me, can he understand me doing this?"
Wang Qin sighed, but he could only sigh. Some things, even if she could see clearly, she couldn't explain them clearly to him.
He was worried that Li Xianhou would think too much because of the rumors outside, but he didn't know that the more he was like this, the worse his situation would be...
…
Today, not only the court was fried, but even the people were boiled in a very short period of time.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Li Xianhou's power has reached its peak. Since ancient times, such courtiers have not come to a good end. Not only the court officials, but also the people in Beijing are also guessing. I am afraid that it will not be long before His Majesty will start to suspect him. , the Li family's fall is a foregone conclusion...
Who would have thought that after a while, their Majesty slapped all of them hard on the face.
King King, King One Word...
Foreign ministers can be crowned kings. Since the founding of the country, no foreign minister has ever received such an honor.
Although Li Xianhou's achievements are great, no one in the court can compare with him, but he has no achievements in opening up territories. If he leads the army to destroy Qi or Zhao, it is understandable to be named a prince, but now—he After all, she is too young, this holy family, a little too...
The one-word king just said so and sealed it. His Majesty has directly expressed his attitude. After this, in the entire capital, who else would dare to provoke the Li family
Lee's.
It is a great honor for the head of the family to be crowned king, and the whole house was full of joy.
Li Yicai sent the worried old lady away, sat back in the yard, rubbed his swollen head, and Her Royal Highness the Princess came in from outside.
He sighed and said, "Okay, can you stop him?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "You know, no one can stop what he is going to do."
"Why stop me?" Li Xuan came out from behind and said, "You have done so much for Jingguo and the world, what is a mere king?"
"You didn't count. Since the founding of Jingguo, how many foreign ministers have made the king?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "You don't care what the courtiers think, what the people think?"
"I don't care what they think." Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously: "I only care about what you think."
