After Lu Yu left Wen Sheng's residence, he entered the Qianlong Army camp.
This is a very unusual phenomenon. Lu Yu has now gained a great position and controlled the entire imperial capital, but he has never ascended the throne or sat in the imperial palace.
Some speculators secretly stirred up the rumors and wrote letters asking for Lu Yu to succeed to the throne.
This is a tradition that existed in the Middle Ages. If a strong person overthrows another rule, he must reject it at least three times before he can inherit the rule.
However, Lu Yu never answered.
Neither agree nor refuse.
All memorials requesting the title of emperor were left in the General Affairs Department. Lu Yu secretly ordered people to record these ministers, but no action was taken.
Time passed like this day by day, and the entire court was still functioning normally.
What is unusual is that in the past, when ministers went to court, they would go to the Qiankun Hall to meet the saint.
But now, if the minister wants to meet Lu Yu to discuss political affairs, he must go to the commander's camp of the Qianlong Army to see Lu Yu.
This is extremely illegal behavior.
If it were another emperor, he would probably have been overwhelmed by the Confucian's accusations by now.
However, Lu Yu is a disciple of Wen Sheng.
The direct disciples of Wen Sheng have a very important position in the Confucian sect. Even when facing some senior Confucian scholars, they can still interact with each other as equals and call each other brothers.
Even if the Imperial Academy held a wine ceremony, Fang Mingzhe, the leader of the conservative faction, could not find a problem with Lu Yu in terms of etiquette.
"Your Majesty is acting recklessly. I'm just worried that Your Majesty will leave a bad record in the annals of history." Fang Mingzhe said openly, vaguely expressing his worries.
This was also his only powerful method. He ordered the historian to record everything Lu Yu did.
Since ancient times, no one has cared about their own historical evaluation.
He believed that Lu Yu was the same.
However, contrary to his expectations, Lu Yu just listened to the report of his subordinates and could not comment on it. He even asked the historian to continue recording, making sure to be truthful and objective.
This scene made all the conservative ministers start to feel uneasy.
The new emperor in front of him seemed not to be afraid of his reputation being damaged at all.
Everything Lu Yu does seems to be done according to his own wishes, and will not be affected by foreign ministers like them at all.
"An emperor without the constraints of his ministers, no one can stop him from doing anything he wants to do." Fang Mingzhe sighed and asked to resign and return to his hometown in despair.
With Fang Mingzhe leaving, everyone had a premonition that this seemed to be the end of an era.
The power of the conservative faction has completely declined. Although the Mainland Party has not entered the center of power, a large number of newcomers have poured into the court.
A few days later, the imperial court announced a new appointment, and Li Si was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and granted the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian.
This appointment has completely pushed Li Si, a young man, to the forefront.
The government and the public were in an uproar, and many people were talking about it, but no one expected that Lu Yu would actually let Li Si rise to the top and become a very popular minister.
There are only two people in the cabinet now. The chief assistant Yang Shouyi has not been replaced. He is older and more senior and has the role of stabilizing the government. But everyone can see that Yang Shouyi's power has long been taken away. The real
All the power is in Li Si's hands.
What really makes many people talk is not Li Si's age, but Li Si's background.
He is the inheritor of ancient Legalism.
Since the founding of the Yu Dynasty, all the cabinet academicians have been Confucian monks. Occasionally, military monks have taken over, but this is not common.
