Li Xun was very disappointed with the feeling of becoming emperor, so he also wanted Xiao Ye to feel the disappointment.
Of course, in addition to letting Xiao Ye feel disappointed, he really wanted to give Xu Qing a royal title.
Which brother in the world doesn’t want his sister to marry someone who is well-matched?
Li Xun himself felt that Xu Qing's current status as a marquis was shabby. If Xu Qing could stay in the Zhou Kingdom, Li Xun would immediately break the soil and become the king.
His Li Xun's sister is naturally going to marry Fengfengguang.
But maybe the angle of the hoe was wrong and Xu Qing was not dug up.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Xu Qing can sit on the throne of Wangjue, even if he is a neighboring country, Li Xun will suffer a lot in order to fulfill his sister's happiness.
But Chu State couldn't refuse even a prince, or else it would make Zhou State lose face?
Li Xun did this not only for his sister but also to trick Xiao Ye.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Two days later, Li Xun soon had his first morning morning visit in his life.
All the civil and military officials of the Zhou Kingdom also walked into the court hall tremblingly.
He greeted the new emperor with skillful gestures.
Emperor Zhou had arranged the court very well before he ascended the throne. The situation in the court of the major aristocratic families was basically balanced. Although the princes with their bloodline did not become emperors, fortunately, princes from other families also did.
Not fooled.
This made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
Seizing a legitimate son is a big gamble.
The winner of the bet can recreate glory and immediately become the most prominent family in the capital.
And if you lose the bet, you will also suffer the same fate as the prince who died on the fiefdom due to acclimatization or serious illness.
Nowadays, the new emperor is not on the list of the legitimate princes. Although no aristocratic family can take this opportunity to rise to the top of the world, fortunately, no aristocratic family will be destroyed along with him.
In this way, they will have ample opportunities to prepare for the next battle.
Of course, it is of no use that these aristocratic families are well prepared. This new emperor is not prepared at all.
Not to mention heirs, this new majesty doesn't even have a queen or concubine.
Even if they want to work hard, they have no direction!
…
However, Li Xun didn't care what these people thought. He looked at Wu Xuan aside and said: "Declaration."
Generally, the people who accompany the emperor are the eunuchs who are in charge of the chamberlain. They are usually appointed by the new emperor himself, and he appoints anyone he likes. Li Xun has been busy getting familiar with what the emperor should do these days and has not yet had time to appoint them.
This also led to the fact that Habayashi Weichulang will temporarily serve as the person who announces the decree in the future.
Why did the emperor appoint eunuchs as chief eunuchs?
Why are there all eunuchs in the palace?
A very important point is the fear of being cuckolded.
Think about the fact that there are so many concubines, if one of them is lonely in the palace, and all the people serving in the palace are normal men, then the emperor's head will not shine green?
But Li Xun didn't have such scruples, because he didn't even have a queen, let alone a concubine. Except for his sister, he had never looked at any other woman.
People like him are not afraid of cuckolding at all.
Of course, the use of Lieutenant General Yu Lin as a chaperone is only temporary. After a while, Li Xun will also have to select a eunuch. There is no way that General Lieutenant General Ha Lin will be doing this kind of work.
One is because Habayashi Weichulang will still have his own things to do.
The second reason is that it is indeed safer to use eunuchs.
The eunuch is a person without roots. There is no chance of blood inheritance in this life. Without blood, his ambition will be reduced by 90%. He is a loyal dog beside the emperor. His power comes from the emperor. The emperor can take it back whenever he wants.
It's different for a healthy man. He might kill you in your sleep and become the next emperor.
For the emperor's own safety, there cannot be less eunuchs around him.
Li Xun's first imperial edict today is also very simple.
Probably, it means inheriting the heaven and earth, responding to the people's hearts, inheriting the aspirations of the ancestors, inheriting the great rule, and then there will be a lot of blah blah blah.
Anyway, the central idea is that my throne is reasonable and legal, and you all must listen to me. You can call the previous emperor the Supreme Emperor.
Just after Li Xun finished reading the first edict, a white-haired veteran of the three dynasties, Taifu Fan, stood up, looked at Li Xun and cursed: "Bah! Rebellious ministers and traitors! Unfaithful and unfilial! Seeking power and usurping the throne! The people of the world!
If someone gets it, kill him!"
After hearing Taifu Fan's words, several old ministers glared at Li Xun one after another, and it seemed that they were about to join the camp of trolls to fight against the traitors.
Li Xun nodded when he heard Taifu Fan's words, then waved his hand and said: "Wu Xuan."
Wu Xuan on the side respectfully placed the read imperial edict on the imperial desk, and then walked down the imperial steps.
Then Taifu Fan looked at Wu Xuan and said, "What? You, a mere Qiu Ba, dare to look directly at me?! You are in an unfair position, you are a treacherous minister!"
Wu Xuan didn't talk too much to Taifu Fan. He pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed Taifu Fan in the stomach.
Taifu Fan died instantly on the spot.
All the ministers couldn't help but their eyes twitched.
Li Xun looked at the civil and military officials and said, "Does anyone else have any objections?"
All the courtiers immediately bowed: "Long live my emperor!"
When a palace becomes an emperor, there is no one who will not kill people. It is not a sequential succession. If you don't be tougher, who can you control?
As the saying goes, whoever takes the lead will definitely die.
Just like this Taifu Fan, although he was a veteran of three dynasties, his sons failed to live up to their expectations and failed to add strength to his family. He himself was still so aloof and ignorant, who would he kill if he didn't?
What is needed is a person who establishes authority.
These courtiers also lamented how the Taifu was so ignorant that he could even put His Majesty, who had subdued all the major families, under house arrest. There was no need to remind him how deep the city was for such a person, right?
If you go against him at this time, don't you light a lamp in the bathroom and seek death?
Li Xun looked at the obedient civil and military officials and nodded with satisfaction, then continued: "Take the prince and Princess Yining."
The prince, who had been kept in captivity to eat swill, was brought up first, and then Princess Yining, who had barely found a place in the princess mansion that was almost in ruins, was also brought here.
Li Xun's second imperial edict was to demote the prince and Princess Yining to common people.
Now no one in the main hall dared to have any objections, because the person who had objections just now had left...
After reading the two imperial edicts, Li Xun walked down the imperial steps and came to Princess Yining. Princess Yining was now dressed in messy clothes, and she seemed to have spent the past few days in fear.
Li Xun lowered his head and looked at Princess Yi Ning and said: "I remember you said at the beginning that Princess Mingyue has no fiefdom in Zhou Kingdom's thousands of miles of territory? Wu Xuan, read the third imperial edict!"
Wu Xuan, who returned to the royal rank, finally opened the third imperial edict:
The edict said: Princess Mingyue, who enchants the country and the city, is beautiful and fragrant, and has a beautiful orchid heart. Princess Mingyue is named the eldest princess. Seeing the eldest princess is like seeing the king. Wherever the bright moon shines in the Zhou Kingdom, the place where she is is called the bright moon.
The fiefdom of the princess is the same as the capital city. I admire this!
