The ochre-yellow robe slid across the marble jade steps, a total of nine steps, but Li Hai stood on the penultimate step and did not walk to the ground.
"Yan Yushi, come here!"
Like the sound of the sea tide, like the thunder shaking the top, Yan Li's body trembled slightly, and he walked forward a few steps involuntarily, keeping his hands crossed, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I really can't bear the position of prime minister..."
Li Hai's eyes showed displeasure: "Could it be that Yan Yushi doubts my vision?"
Yan Li panicked: "I don't mean that!"
Li Hai smiled and spoke softly: "Yan Yushi, since I chose you as the prime minister of the dynasty, I naturally have my considerations. If it wasn't for Yan Yushi who is unique, capable, and upright, I wouldn't let you do it." The head of the hundred officials, are you right?"
Yan Li didn't reply. He just didn't want to be the prime minister today, so that's no good.
Li Hai glanced at the other officials, and then smiled slightly: "Since Yan Yushi is the prime minister, I hope that you will all cooperate fully. If I find someone dissatisfied with Yan Yushi, it is dissatisfaction with me, and I will definitely punish those who disagree with me." loan!"
Li Hai spoke with a stern tone. Although it seemed that he was addressing all the officials, the ones he wanted to warn were those ministers who took refuge in the Queen Mother.
"Yan Yushi, why don't you thank me?" Li Hai looked sharply at Yan Li, who was below the steps.
Yan Li had no choice but to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times: "Thank you Lord Long En! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Li Hai laughed loudly, and said behind: "Today is going to hold the award ceremony, is Minister of Rites Zhao Hongru here?"
Zhao Hongru was feeling lost, disappointed, sad and indignant, but he didn't hear Li Hai's cry, and stood there in a daze.
Li Hai's pupils narrowed slightly: "Master Zhao..."
Bai Xiangwan stabbed Zhao Hongru in the ribs, and shouted with a laugh, "Lord Zhao! The emperor is proclaiming you."
At this moment, Zhao Hongru came to his senses, quickly knelt on the ground, and said in panic: "I don't know what announcement the emperor has made when calling for this humble minister?"
Li Hai snorted coldly, and Long Yan was furious: "Master Zhao, you are neglecting me, how do you think I will punish you?"
Suddenly, Zhao Hongru cried. If he didn't cry, he wouldn't get Li Hai's sympathy, and Li Hai might punish him. When he cried, Li Hai would consider him old and not pursue him.
"Damn this humble minister, damn this humble minister! I beg the emperor to see that there is still an old mother in the old minister's house, let this old life be spared!"
Li Hai didn't dare to kill Zhao Hongru, because if he killed him, the conflict with the queen mother would become public, which would be harmful to Li Hai. Although Zhao Hongru is ambitious, he is a dutiful son at home. His old mother is over 90 years old, lying on the bed. Zhao Hongru, who is over 70 years old, cooks medicine and porridge for his old mother himself every day. It is a good talk among the alleys.
Li Hai smiled contemptuously, returned to the dragon chair, and sat upright: "Master Zhao, why did I say that I want to kill you? Don't go back and talk nonsense to the old man in your family, or she will be angry, and it will be terrible." !"
Zhao Hongru's heart skipped a beat: Li Hai's words don't seem to have any deep meaning. Could it be that the old man Li Hai mentioned not only refers to his old mother, but also refers to the queen mother
It was as if there was a gust of wind blowing through the hall, and Zhao Hongru's back felt chilly.
"How dare the old minister talk nonsense!" Zhao Hongru didn't know what to say.
Li Hai said: "Today at noon, I will confer Yan Yushi as Prime Minister in the Ming Hall, and all the etiquette arrangements will be handled by you, understand?"
It is a great shame to let Zhao Hongru hold the award ceremony for Yan Licuo.
"The humble minister leads the decree!"
Only then did Li Hai show a satisfied smile: "From now on, everyone must be of one heart and one mind, and serve the Great Jing Kingdom together. If I know who has ulterior motives, I will never forgive you lightly! Retire!" After a short drink, Li Hai got up and left the hall , Liu Gonggong and others followed.
"Go and inform the queen, and then follow me to the Ming Hall to hold the award ceremony!" Li Hai said to Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu replied: "Your servant will notify you now!"
The award ceremony was held grandly, but also in a hurry. From the announcement of Yan Li as Prime Minister in the morning to the holding of the grand ceremony, the interval was less than an hour. During the period, there were many etiquettes and a lot of things to prepare. Zhao Hongru was about to die before he got everything ready.
Li Hai deliberately embarrassed Zhao Hongru, who made him belong to the Queen Mother!
"You did a good job, Mr. Zhao!" Li Hai walked into the hall and said to Zhao Hongru, who was pale with exhaustion.
Zhao Hongru was panting even when he answered: "Wei... how dare my minister be negligent!"
"Everyone is here, let's start!" Li Hai said, carrying Rong Changan into the Ming Hall and standing in the center.
Rong Chang'an was wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix suit, like a peach tree falling to the ground, bright and beautiful, noble and elegant, it is hard to describe.
Zhao Hongru cleared his voice, and shouted with all his strength: "Xuan Dajing's Censor Yan Li is on the court!"
The sound was transmitted step by step, until it reached outside the Jiuzhong Gate, and then the eunuch led Yan Li through the door to the Ming Hall and knelt down.
"Chen Yanli kowtows to see the emperor's long live, and the empress's thousand years old!"
"Congratulations!" Zhao Hongru shouted.
The eunuch supported the prime minister's clothes and stood beside the emperor Li Hai. Yan Li knelt a few steps forward and came to Li Hai. Li Hai picked up the clothes and handed them to Yan Li, who took the clothes respectfully.
The eunuch then helped Yan Li put on the prime minister's clothes.
Rong Changan watched Yan Li take off his censor's coat and put on the brand new prime minister's attire, immediately becoming majestic and imposing. Such a man is only born once every five hundred years, and he looks good in any clothes. The imperial censor's clothes look elegant and weak, with a kind of beauty; the prime minister's clothes are majestic and dignified, not to mention a kind of noble beauty. Wouldn't it be more handsome and unattainable for him to wear the ocher yellow robe
Rong Changan's starry eyes did not flicker, but he was stunned.
"Give flowers!" Zhao Hongru said to Chen Liyi, feeling really uncomfortable, originally wearing the prime minister's clothes, but he was the one wearing flowers!
Rong Changan's thoughts were called back by Zhao Hongru, and with a smile at the corner of his mouth, he took a red peach blossom from the eunuch beside him. Yan Li knelt a few steps forward and came to Rong Changan's side. Rong Changan bent down and put the peach blossom hairpin next to Yan Li's ear.
Ah, it looks more beautiful than a lady!
"When you're young, it's time for hairpin flowers to eat wine. I hope Prime Minister Yan will live up to expectations and youth, and vigorously assist my emperor to accomplish a great cause!"
Yan Li slightly raised his eyes and wiped Rong Changan's glance, but there was resentment in his eyes. Ten miles of spring breeze, wealth and honor for a hundred years, are not as good as spending time with each other and growing old together.
"Prime Minister Yan, could it be that you are so happy?" Rong Changan reminded.
Only then did Yan Li understand, blushing, and quickly thanked him: "Long live my emperor, a thousand years old queen!"
Li Hai laughed again, with expectation in his smile.
"Prime Minister Yan, I will give a banquet at your home tonight, and I will be there at that time to watch you receive the congratulations from all the officials."
The emperor bestows an official, and then gives a banquet at home, this is an all-time rule, and Yan Li cannot shirk it.
"Follow the order!"
