Yan Li understood their thoughts and smiled: "If you don't speak, I understand what you are thinking. Several of you used to be colleagues with me, and had disagreements and disputes in some government affairs. There are even people who slander Li Hai and want to kill me. I remember all of this!"
As soon as the words were spoken, several ministers knelt down in front of Yan Li, kowtowing like garlic.
"In the past, when the emperor dived into the dragon, we were too blind to see Mount Tai. We deserved to die! Now that the new dynasty has new signs, I hope the emperor will give us a chance to make up for our mistakes and let us contribute to the new dynasty."
Yan Li smiled: "The reason why I said those words just now is to tell you that I want to punish you very much, but I want to appoint you more! Because you are all talented, our new dynasty is still a mess. We need old ministers like you to tidy up the government and make the whole country run healthily."
Suddenly, Yan Li changed the subject again, "Of course, if any of you are unwilling to do things for me and prefer to retire to the mountains and forests, I will not stop you. I am the emperor and have all the power in one body, but I don't want to be a domineering, self-willed person. I want to be a good emperor, but I want to be a good emperor. I hope that with the help of me and all the ministers, the concubine will have the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan in our dynasty!"
Then some ministers danced and cheered and complimented: "The emperor is gifted by heaven, wise and intelligent, and his life is tied to the sky. It can be said that there is no one before or after. The cause led by the emperor and the country under his rule will surely prosper and prosper, and the country will live in peace!"
The words were nice to hear, but Yan Li didn't like to hear them.
He sneered: "You're right, we want the country to be peaceful and the people safe, but we can't rely on me alone, we also need the help of all your ministers and workers. Don't talk about the hype just now. Tell the truth when you say it, and do the real thing when you do it. I hate hypocrisy the most, and if I hear those compliments again, I will punish you!"
Then Yan Li discussed with these ministers about the distribution of meritorious officials. For example, Song Qiang assisted Yan Li in breaking the capital and made Yan Li the emperor. He is a founding hero, so why should Song Qiang be rewarded
A minister said: "Song Qiang is the hero who founded the country. According to the allusions of the past dynasties, the hero who founded the country not only rewarded servants, money, mansions, land, and official positions, but also became a marquis. According to the views of the ministers, the biggest one should be named. For a marquis of ten thousand households, the chosen land must be the largest and most fertile."
Yan Li regards Song Qiang as a brother, even if Song Qiang is allowed to be the emperor with him, Yan Li will have nothing to say, let alone make Song Qiang the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Yan Li thought for a while, "Nanyang County has a vast land, a dense population, and a wealthy economy. Song Qiang's meritorious service is so high, so he should be named Nanyang Marquis. What do you love?"
The ministers first knew about the strong relationship between Song Qiang and Yan Li, and secondly, Song Qiang's contribution was really high, so they didn't have any opinions, so they all flattered: "The emperor is wise!"
Next, we will discuss other people, some were named Marquis of Thousand Households, some were named Marquis of Guannei, some were named Marquis of Hundred Households, and some were only granted official positions.
A piece of paper as long as a case, filled with the names of heroes.
Yan Li went through the list of meritorious officials and the officials who were rewarded again, and felt that there was nothing to modify, so he said happily: "I will hold a reward ceremony at the Golden Luan Hall tomorrow!"
Since the enfeoffment of the meritorious officials went so smoothly, Yan Li felt that the next topic was impeccable.
"So many generals and schools have been rewarded, do all the lovers feel that an important person has been missed, and there is no reward?"
The ministers looked at each other, wondering who Yan Li was referring to. Those generals who followed Yan Li from Waqiao Pass to the south, came to the battlefield, and shed blood and sweat have already been rewarded, who else
Yan Li said with a smile: "It's beyond my expectation that you can forget her. Rong Changan's contribution to Empress Rong is no less than that of General Song, so I also want to give Empress Rong a reward."
In the past, the relationship between Rong Changan and Yan Li was not made public, but after this mutiny and the overthrow of the Li Hai Dynasty, the relationship between Yan Li and her has actually been known to all the ministers. Therefore, it is understandable for Yan Li to reward his beloved, and the ministers have no objection.
"Actually, General Rong is the first great planner, he is the hero who founded the country, and he should be rewarded. I don't know why the emperor thought of making General Rong a Marquis?"
Yan Li was very happy to hear that the ministers were willing to reward Rong Changan. He was still a little nervous just now, he was afraid that the ministers would be old-fashioned, and because Rong Changan was a woman, he would not be able to grant rewards! Now it seems that he is thinking too much.
"Since all the ministers have no objections, then I will hold a canonization ceremony for Empress Rong the day after tomorrow!"
But what was beyond Yan Li's expectation was that when he said the word "Certificate", the ministers were stunned for a moment, their eyes were full of doubts and incomprehensions, and then they were surprised and embarrassed.
Yan Xin's head froze: I don't know what's wrong with them, since they promised to reward Rong Chang'an, why did they still have such an expression
"My dear friends, do you agree or disagree? If you don't say anything, I will treat Chang'an as my queen after you agree!"
What made Yan Li even more astonished was that all the ministers prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting long live.
"Your Majesty, the establishment of a queen is a major national event, which is related to the fate of a country. If the queen is unlucky, the country will be unlucky; if the queen is unkind, the people will be unkind. I hope that the emperor will think twice and re-select a woman from a good family to harmonize yin and yang and smooth People!"
Yan Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and a surprised light shot out from his pupils, "According to your opinion, Rong Chang'an is inhumane and ominous?"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "Rong Chang'an was originally a general protecting the country. I don't know how many people died under her sword. How can such a bloodthirsty person be worthy of kindness? Since Rong Chang'an is covered with blood, then How can you say he is an auspicious person?"
Yan Li hated the minister of the Ministry of Industry for saying that Rong Changan was wrong, but when he met the minister for the first time, it was not good to lose his temper, so he held back his anger.
"Since Rong Chang'an is inhumane and ominous, why would Li Hai accept her as queen?"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "It is precisely because of Rong Chang'an's inhumanity that caused the decline of the Li family and the emperor's success in ascending the throne. Besides, Li Hai is the king of subjugation. How could his every move be followed by the emperor? Besides..." The minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated to speak.
Yan Li snorted, pointed to the Minister of Industry and asked, "Besides what?"
The angry words clung to the jade steps and reached the ears of the servant of the Ministry of Industry who was prostrate on the ground, making him tremble slightly.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his Adam's apple, and said bravely, "Besides, Rong Chang'an is the queen of the former emperor. To put it bluntly, she is already a ruined flower. How can she still be worthy of being the queen of our new dynasty? The world There are so many women, why does the emperor have to choose her as the queen?"
"Bold!" Yan Li clapped the case, stood up, his cold eyes were full of anger. How could he let others say that Rong Changan was a broken flower
"The emperor's redemption!" The body of the minister of the Ministry of Industry was closer to the ground, and the sweat dripped unconsciously on the water-polished bricks and stones. "Faithful words are harmful to the ear and good for deeds. I hope the emperor will think twice!"
