After a gloomy voice came from behind, Li Jing put away his gloomy expression, and everyone present hurriedly corrected their posture and bowed to greet:
"See the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother walked in with a gloomy face, and then slowly scanned everyone: "Who is it? Stand up and let the Ai family take a look!"
Several people in the crowd shrank their necks, looked at each other, and became more honest!
The Queen Mother stepped forward with a stern face, glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "Aijia, let's see if Emperor Daxing is too good to you! So much so that he actually made you so bold as to do such a shameless thing in the palace!"
Everyone present was blushing and speechless after being scolded by the Queen Mother, and they did not dare to speak. The Queen Mother scolded for a while, and then scolded: "You dare to interfere in the Crown Prince's affairs? If you don't want to worry about it, If you want it, pick it off and feed it to the dog!"
This sentence frightened everyone present and hurriedly knelt down to apologize. They were not afraid of Li Jing, even if they knew that the whole city was filled with Li Jing's army, they were not afraid!
Because they knew in their hearts that Li Jing did not dare to do anything to them!
Even Emperor Yongxi would only curse a few words when he was angry, and then try his best to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. This group of people is a typical example of people who fail to succeed but fail to succeed!
Whenever Emperor Yongxi dares to do something to them, he refuses to be acquainted with his family members. Even the emperor has to be afraid with this name on his back!
So they were sure that Li Jing didn't dare to do anything to them! What's more, Li Jing's identity was too bizarre, and if something was too bizarre, some people would definitely question it. At this time, Li Jing didn't try hard to eliminate the grudge on her body, but instead turned against Li Jing. The Yan clan wields the butcher knife?
Then the buffs that Emperor Yongxi gave him were all in vain! Why are you so anxious to kill the clan? Could it be that you are indeed a parallel importer who got in to pollute the blood of our royal family!
There is never a shortage of idiots in this world. If someone says something, someone will believe it. If one person believes it, a hundred people will believe it! People’s opinions are worth their weight in gold! Over time, it has become the so-called "unofficial history"!
Because of what his political opponents said, "Zhu Xi and his widowed daughter-in-law live together in the melon fields and plum trees, I'm afraid something will happen!" He has been carrying the name of picking ashes for almost thousands of years!
These disgusting toads couldn't cause any real harm to Li Jing, but they were quite disgusting lying on Li Jing's feet!
But the Queen Mother is different. The Queen Mother's status is there, and sometimes her age is more useful here. Some people dare to question Li Jing, but absolutely no one dares to question the Queen Mother!
So if Li Jing said this, he would only be humiliating himself, and maybe a bunch of people would jump out and beg Li Jing to kill him! But when the Queen Mother said this, everyone was so frightened that they trembled and dared not answer!
Seeing this, the Queen Mother did not dare to speak, so she snorted coldly: "Don't the Ai family recognize the biological grandson of the Ai family? Do you still need to teach him? Jing'er's identity is clearly written on the jade plate, and Da Zong recognizes it. Emperor Daxing recognizes it, Aijia recognizes it! Emperor Taizong recognizes it! Are you the only one who doesn’t recognize it? Who do you think you are?”
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, the senior Wang in several clans stood up and smiled at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, no one denies her, how can she deny her?"
After consoling them like this for a long time, he then apologized to them and said: "They are all just joking among the younger generations. They are ignorant and careless..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she scolded: "They are not sensible and you are not sensible either! You are old! Is this a place where you can make trouble? If you don't enter the palace for a few years, will the door of Qianqing Palace be opened in that direction? I don’t even recognize it!”
All the old Wangs who had been arguing with each other did not dare to speak. The Queen Mother said with a stern face: "You uncles don't know how to discipline your children. It's strange that people say that each generation of the Tian family is inferior to the last!"
Several old Wangs were immediately angry: "Who dares to say that! I don't want my life!"
The Queen Mother immediately scolded: "Look at your virtue! Did you say something wrong?"
The old kings were so speechless that they stopped talking. The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "If you can't discipline your children well, send them back to Jingyang Palace to take charge of them again. If you really can't manage them well, then get out of the palace for the Ai family! You guys!" Remember, if you stand with the Tian family and the emperor, you are the clan! If anyone doesn’t want to be a descendant of Li Yan, just stand opposite the emperor! Look at the Ai family how many heads you have grown!"
After a scolding, everyone was in a cold sweat. It was only from this that everyone realized that the candidate for the crown prince was not Li Yi!
In fact, this is not their fault. After all, according to them, Li Jing's busy schedule is just for the title of Prince Ning. Who would have thought that Li Jing would go directly to the throne?
Who would have thought that when Li Jing asked for it, Emperor Yongxi actually gave it to him?
How could such a naughty idea of the throne be passed down so smoothly to someone who was not his own son? How many emperors could not even pass it on to their own sons so smoothly?
In fact, it is not that there are no smart people among them. They thought that Li Jing might be interested in taking the throne, but then I thought about it, so what if you are obsessed with it? With so many civil and military ministers here, you can really control it. Can Shenjing still be able to silence all the civil and military ministers? All the mouths of the clan, all the mouths of the world?
During the previous defense battle of Shenjing, they were busy hiding at home, shivering, and wondering when to run away as soon as the city of Shenjing was destroyed. Some of them were even thinking about running away in advance, maybe to the south. My son can still be helped to the throne!
Who would have thought that this battle to defend Shenjing was equivalent to Li Jing's large-scale political performance, and he almost won the hearts of all the people in the world with this battle!
Anyone who doesn't let Li Jing become emperor now may be the one who will be criticized by everyone in the world!
They didn't know clearly, so they thought that Li Jing would die just like Prince Ning, and Emperor Yongxi was willing to give him the throne? Who is so generous as to give the throne to others directly? He still has so many sons!
In fact, Emperor Yongxi was not willing. After all, the clan members were right. If there was no other way, who would be willing to pass the throne to his nephew instead of his son?
But he saw that the son who was handed over to him might not be able to stabilize Dayan at this time. In addition, Li Jing himself was now powerful. Even if it was handed over to his son, he might not be able to defend it under Li Jing's eager eyes. Live!
So it is better to save trouble and give it directly to Li Jing. Maybe it can also find a way out for several sons, and the world of Yan will not be in turmoil again!
At the last moment of his life, Emperor Yongxi still defeated his selfishness and chose to hand over the world to a more reliable and brighter future!
He has no selfish motives anymore, but this time he has caused trouble to the clansmen! I originally thought that they were good friends with each other since it was passed down to Li Bo. Li Bo is honest and often friendly to his clan members. He has managed to get through this. Who knows?
Unexpectedly, hearing this meaning, it seems that Li Wei has no way!
What the Queen Mother said next made them panic even more!
"Jing'er! Who just said something stupid that shouldn't have been said! Just take someone and drive him out!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was immediately panicked, especially those who had just been in a strange relationship with Jia Jing, they were even more panicked!
Unexpectedly, Li Jing just glanced at them, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, today is a big day, so just write it down for now. If you do it again in the future, you will be punished again."
Those few people were relieved when they heard this, but Li Ming said loudly and somewhat unconvinced: "Second brother! If you are reluctant to do it, just leave it to your brother! You really give them face! Tens of thousands of years ago
Do you really think of yourself as a relative of the emperor? Damn,,,"
"Xiaoqi!"
Li Jing looked at Li Ming seriously and said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude in front of the Queen Mother!"
Hearing what Li Jing said, Li Ming couldn't hold his breath and stopped talking. There were even a few clan members secretly provoking Li Ming! Li Ming was so angry that his nose was almost crooked!
But Li Jing glanced at those people expressionlessly and didn't say anything. Sometimes, you are not afraid of a free lunch, because the price of delicious food is always marked on your back!
If you don’t punish him now, you think it’s because Li Jing is soft-hearted and feels very proud. However, he doesn’t realize that he is just making you proud now! If you punish him now, how will he be punished in the future?
The punishment now is, at best, kicking you out and causing you loss of face, but in the future, it will cause you to lose your life!
As a professional, Li Jing would not go against the fatal mistake that almost all dynasties would make and raise a group of pigs as their ancestors!
Therefore, no matter how much Emperor Yongxi tried to persuade him to become relatives, it was impossible for Li Jing to raise such a group of stubborn children!
Even though the merit examination system implemented by Dayan is comparable to a grace order, and it has almost turned people like Liu Bei into mat weavers and shoe sellers, it is obvious that Li Jing is still not satisfied with it!
Because you need to know that lineage and honor are completely different things. For example, when a prince like Li Jing starts to take meritorious examinations, his son becomes a county prince, the son of a county prince becomes a prince of the town, and the son of a prince of the town becomes a auxiliary prince, and a auxiliary prince.
The son of the Duke of the State is mixed into the General of the Zhenguo, the son of the General of the Zhenguo is mixed into the General of the Auxiliary State, the son of the General of the Auxiliary State is mixed into the General of Miscellaneous Numbers, and the son of the General of Miscellaneous Numbers is mixed into the first and second grades all the way up to the fifth grade!
After passing the fifth-grade miscellaneous title general, how many Dragon Guards or Imperial Guards can be inherited? No matter how bad it is, there is still a title of Tongzhi!
If we push this down, the court will pay them salaries and rice silver for more than ten generations! This is already an extremely huge number in itself!
Li Jing estimated that even if the Yan Dynasty was finished, the poor relatives of the Taizu Dynasty might still have the princes who led the fifth-grade generals!
So the examination system is good, but it’s too slow! It’s not as fast as cutting it off!
Such a system of neither rising nor falling can at most alleviate the financial crisis brought by the clan to the court to a certain extent, but in fact, it is a drop in the bucket!
And compared to this, the clan has not been reduced much, on the contrary, it has caused the nobles to go down a lot!
It is true that all the nobles in this group are trash, but that is not necessarily the case. This kind of system makes the nobles change frequently to a large extent. Although it strengthens the imperial power's control over the military power, it is also called a check and balance on the civilian officials.
The power of a powerful group of nobles has been greatly reduced!
Therefore, the next reform of the examination system is definitely the top priority for Li Jing! At that time, he will inevitably have to break up with many people in the clan!
This matter cannot be rushed. At least in the past five years, Li Jing has no such plan. After all, Emperor Yongxi has just died. At least within a year, Li Jing still wants to maintain the status quo of the government, not only to maintain stability, but also for the sake of maintaining stability.
The reason for "three years after the father's death, the son did not change his policy".
These days, this thing is taken seriously, so Li Jing will not make any major political changes for at least a year!
Therefore, the heads of these clans can be stored in their necks for the time being!
Obviously the Queen Mother did not expect Li Jing to be so "generous", but since Li Jing said so, the Queen Mother did not insist on giving Li Jing vents!
He scolded the clan members a few more times and told them to be honest. This is the mourning hall of Emperor Yongxi. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't tell me, just pull them out of the Meridian Gate and chop them up for burial with Emperor Yongxi!
Obviously the Queen Mother was not joking. These clan members also realized what a stupid thing they had done. They actually got into a fight in the side hall when Emperor Yongxi was in power. This was definitely a scandal that could not be spread outside, so it was all
He smiled and agreed.
Li Jing was too lazy to pay attention to them, and personally supported the Queen Mother to send her back. Daiyu was on the other side of the Queen Mother, supported by the husband and wife, followed by a group of women from the clan, all of whom did not dare to breathe.
The Queen Mother sighed and said to Li Jing: "It's good for Jing'er to be kind. After all, you are all of Taizu's blood. Emperor Daxing also advised you that it's not a blind date between clan members. Although the Supreme is the Supreme, he cannot live as a single husband no matter what."
, you are better than your uncle at this point."
Li Jing just smiled and said softly when he heard this: "For the sake of the Queen Mother, Sun Chen doesn't want to make a big fuss. If the situation were different and you weren't here, Sun Chen would have started fighting with them long ago."
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this, and then sighed to Li Jing and said: "I know, you are just making me happy. Now it seems that the impulsive and reckless look in the past is not for others."
You see, after all, you are still as gentle and gentle as your father at heart, not to mention the Ai family, even Emperor Daxing was deceived by you!"
Li Jing smiled and said nothing, while Daiyu smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Not to mention you, the Queen Mother, even I know for the first time that he doesn't just solve things with fists!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Li Jing in surprise, and then at Daiyu. Li Jing pretended to cough: "As I said, I almost turned into a monster, and I didn't follow him at home.
Have you ever used your fists?"
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "How dare you! Lin Yatou is such a good daughter-in-law. If I find out that you dare to do something to her, the Ai family will not spare you!"
Daiyu glanced at Li Jing with a smile, and Li Jing glared at him helplessly. Li Miaojin, who was following Daiyu at the side, had his hands behind his back and felt a little sour when he saw that his position was taken away by Li Jing and Daiyu.
She said: "The Queen Mother also said that you, old man, were deceived by your second brother and second sister-in-law! I am happy to say this in front of you! Who in the whole Shenjing City does not
You know, it’s like the second brother dotes on the second sister-in-law! It’s more precious than looking at your eyes!”
Li Jing turned around in a funny way and said with a smile: "There are some people who praise people's eyes! I told you before that if you don't have much education, just say less!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but Li Miaojin stuck out his tongue at Li Jing and rolled his eyes, "You are so uneducated!"
The Queen Mother looked at Daiyu in surprise and said, "Really?"
Daiyu smiled with a red face and said nothing. What kind of person is the Queen Mother? Looking at it like this, you can understand that Daiyu is sincere!
Dang even sighed and said: "This is good, this is good! The harmony between you and your husband is better than anything else!"
After saying that, he smiled at Li Jing and said: "Some of your temperaments are like your father, and some are like your imperial uncle. Come to think of it, it is because of your blood that you follow your father in your bones, but in the end you are your imperial uncle."
Raised! Your uncle was like this when he was young, very restrained! Emperor Taizong fell in love with your uncle because of this. Who would have thought that once your uncle came to power, he could barely do anything for the great Emperor Taizong?
Hold it down!"
The Queen Mother said with a sigh: "That's why I felt that your uncle was too thoughtful and didn't like him when he was young. Who would have thought that before your uncle left, the one he missed most was my mother!"
"
As she said this, the Queen Mother choked up again, and everyone was silent after hearing the words. The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and said: "Alas! I'm afraid the Aijia said these things and made you sad, so that's all. I won't mention it anymore.
"
Li Jingqiang smiled and comforted the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother likes to talk about ancient times. Sun Chen will accompany you in the future. You must not hurt your body because of this."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and wiped away her tears and said: "The Ai family has lived for such a long time, and now they have no son. No matter what happens, it will be like this. If you live to this age, there is no need to look down on it.
,,”
After saying this, the Queen Mother smiled at Li Jing and said, "Go and do your business. What are you doing here with us ladies for no reason?"
Li Jing glanced at Daiyu, who immediately nodded to indicate that she would take care of the Queen Mother. It was then that Li Jing nodded with confidence: "Sun Chen will come to visit the Queen Mother again after the previous matters are finished."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and Li Jing hurried away under the cannibalistic gaze of a group of clan women, especially young women.
Next, Li Jing was still not relaxed. The period of Emperor Yongxi's grand visit did not mean that there would be no memorials. Li Jing had to deal with the crying messages handed to him, as well as urgent memorials, and had to come three times every day in the morning, noon and evening.
Crying spirit, it’s Li Jing’s body, so it’s a bit too much to deal with!
Fortunately, Li Jing and the other brothers took the initiative, and Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief! The day passed in a hurry, and everything was almost ready.
