Back to the early Tang Dynasty as a fairy Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight: This palace is temporarily overseeing the work, who approves and who opposes?
Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight: This palace is temporarily overseeing the work, who approves and who opposes?
It’s the day of lunar new year and morning ginseng again!
Although His Majesty Li Yuan has now visited Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat, the officials of Chang'an City did not cancel the pilgrimage ceremony for this reason.
However, this time Li Jiancheng did not stand at the head of the officials like he used to do in the past, waiting for the time to come forward and lead people to dance in front of his Aye Yangchen and bow ceremoniously. Instead, he entered early through the back door.
When I arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, I was filled with excitement as I watched the servants busy checking the futons, mats, smokers and other things that could be used later.
As the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, he was the most respected person in the Tai Chi Palace when Aye was away.
In other words, he changed from the position of leading people to salute, to the position of standing on the steps of Danbi, accepting the salute of all officials in Aye's place...
What a leap!
When it was almost Mao hour, Li Jiancheng reluctantly looked at the supreme position in the middle of the hall, and then quietly moved back to the back door of Tai Chi Hall again.
As the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, although he was very excited, he still had to wait until all the ministers were in place before he could majestically appear in front of their eyes and then accept their salute and allegiance.
When the door of the Tai Chi Palace was slowly opened, and the civil and military officials on both sides, led by the boss of Shangshu Province, walked in from the entrance of the palace and stood there, Li Jiancheng tidied up his clothes and put on a pair of clothes that he thought was majestic.
With a bright face, he walked towards Dan Bi from the back door.
"bye!"
After Li Jiancheng took his stand on the throne, under the command of the Zhongshu Provincial officials, all the officials danced in the dust and saluted gracefully in front of the position representing His Majesty Li Yuan.
Although Li Jiancheng knew that these people were actually saluting his Aye position, standing on Danbi and seeing the officials below bowing their heads respectfully to him, he still couldn't help but feel excited.
An indescribable feeling arises spontaneously.
Holding the power, the heroes bow their heads!
This is the life a man should live...
Immediately, Li Jiancheng's eyes swept across a certain vacant position in Shangshu Province, and a trace of regret passed through his heart.
it's a pity!
If a certain annoying Erlang was standing below, dancing in front of me, then I would definitely be more satisfied!
After all the officials saluted and stood up, Li Jiancheng put on his usual "courteous and virtuous corporal" smile and said cordially.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything important to do, please report it to us. We will arrange it properly..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps outside. Just when Li Jiancheng raised his head in displeasure and was about to send someone to ask what happened, he saw a man in military uniform.
The woman had strode into the Tai Chi Hall with a solemn look.
After seeing this woman appear, Li Jiancheng was stunned.
"Miss San, why are you here?"
Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang walked through the officials, clasped her hands and bowed to Li Jiancheng.
"Pingyang pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"ah……"
After seeing Li Xiuning salute to him, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized what he was doing. He quickly stepped down from the Danbi and reached out to help him.
“Princess Pingyang doesn’t need to be polite!”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After bowing politely, Li Xiuning straightened up, glanced around the officials present with a majestic look, and at the same time raised a yellow silk scroll in his hand.
"The sage gave the decree, and all the officials accepted it!"
Before Li Jiancheng understood what was going on, he saw Prime Minister Pei Ji, the leader of the officials standing aside, standing up first and bowing with his hands clasped in fists.
"My lord, Pei Ji accepts the order!"
Then Shi Wanbao, Minister of Civil Affairs, also stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
"Your Majesty, Shi Wanbao accepts the order!"
After these two leaders were established, the remaining officials followed suit and bowed with fists clasped in their hands.
"I'll wait for the order!"
After seeing all the officials stand up, Li Xiuning looked around, then his eyes fell on Qian Jiulong, who was in the Menxia Province team on one side, and handed the yellow silk scroll to him casually.
"Jiulong, come and declare the decree!"
"yes!"
Qian Jiulong agreed, then took the yellow silk scroll, opened it, and read loudly.
"On the 13th day of the seventh month in the sixth year of Wude. I defended myself against insults and attacks, and sent especially sincere messages to the court. I was appointed to honor my virtues, and I was really devoted to my relatives and virtuous people. Princess Xiuning of Pingyang. At the beginning of the relationship, I established the structure of Qinlong, and made great achievements. I conquered the Shuo border.
It is appropriate to trust your heart, entrust you with important responsibilities, take charge of the military aircraft, and hope for the truth. Give the tiger talisman, and order you to temporarily take over the command of the twelve guards on the left and right, so as to secure Guanzhong."
After hearing this imperial edict, the officials present were stunned for an instant!
Is the saint crazy?
What does it mean to "entrust your heart and soul, entrust you with important responsibilities, take charge of military operations, and hope for the truth but only agree"? Doesn't this translate to just two words, supervising the country?
But the problem is that before you went to Renzhi Palace, the eldest son who was just appointed to supervise the country was still there. Isn't it a bit too hasty for you to change your daughter to supervise the country now?
As for Li Jiancheng, the prince of the prison country, his heart suddenly turned cold.
Although he knew that Aye would be angry if he delayed going to Renzhi Palace for an audience, he felt that after he caught Erlang secretly stationing troops in Jingzhao and then went to see Aye, the other party's anger would be directly directed towards him.
On Erlang's head.
When the time comes, the opponent's Tiance General will definitely be captured, but as for other titles, he may not be able to keep it!
In the end, he didn't expect that his Aye would be so impatient. After delaying for a few days, he actually issued a secret order and handed over the positions of the Supervisor and the Twelve Guards to the Third Lady...
etc!
He had obviously sealed off Jingzhao, so how did the person sent by Aye to deliver the decree quietly deliver it to the Third Lady!
Just when Li Jiancheng and the officials present were thinking wildly, something even more unexpected happened.
As soon as the edict was announced here, Qian Jiulong, the official who announced the edict and led General Yuanyou, knelt down first with a grunt, holding the edict in his hand and answered without hesitation.
"My lord, General Yuan You, Qian Jiulong, obeys the order, and everyone in Yuan You's army obeys Princess Pingyang's control!"
Before the other officials could react, Dou Dan, the consort who led General Shenqi, also came out and bowed down before Princess Pingyang.
"I will join the banner general Dou Dan in compliance with the order and join the banner army. I am willing to be controlled by Princess Pingyang!"
Then General Yulin Zhang Jin, General Qiguan Sun Shunde, General Tianjie Fan Shixing, General Swagger An Xiuren and others also walked out of the queue one after another and prostrated themselves on the ground. In the end, even General Xuange, the King of Huai'an
Li Shentong also stood up.
"I obey the decree and would like to be restrained by Princess Pingyang!"
Li Jiancheng looked at the scene in front of him with a look of astonishment on his face, dumbfounded!
These people in front of them are basically the Twelve Guards Generals who hold real power in their hands. Their collective defection means that the entire Jingzhao military force has come to side with their sister.
Isn't this incredible?
Even if Aye had given such a ridiculous order to let women supervise the country, it would still be a bastard, and it would be a disorderly life!
You are all the pillars of the country, generals with heavy troops, how can you agree to it without any shame? Especially you, Dou Dan, I have treated you badly. You messed up things last time with your third brother.
Well, if it weren't for Gu's recommendation, how could you possibly have been able to sit in the position of General Shenqi? Is this how you repay Gu?
Really, do you still have a trace of the character of an iron-blooded man?
Then, Li Jiancheng looked at the prime ministers on the other side, hoping that these scholars who read the books of sages and understood the principles of sages and sages would stand up and oppose his own, Aye, who was a mess.
But just when his eyes moved over, he saw Pei Ji standing up first and bowing.
"Your Majesty, Pei Ji has received the imperial edict!"
Then, Chen Shuda also stood up after Pei Ji, followed by Xiao Yu, and Prime Minister Yang Gongren, who also served as Drum and Flag General, also stood up and saluted Princess Pingyang gracefully.
"I am waiting for the edict!"
In just a moment, all the prime ministers in the court rebelled in front of Li Jiancheng... Well, not all of them. At least now Zhongshu Ling Feng Deyi was still standing there with a hesitant look on his face, which made Li Jiancheng feel a little bit.
of pleasure.
Fortunately, after all, there is still a man of character among these prime ministers!
The next moment, he heard his sister speak.
"Prime Minister Feng, I see that you are unmoved. Are you dissatisfied with Aye's will?"
"Don't dare!"
Feng Deyi walked out of the queue slowly, clasping his hands into fists, and said sincerely.
"It is the Sacred Heart's arbitrary decision to arrange who will supervise the country. I should not comment on it. But after all, Your Highness, Princess, you have never done anything like this before, so I am still a little worried..."
"I am also very confused about this matter. It's just that the saint has a destiny and must obey it!"
Li Xiuning's face was calm, and she didn't seem to be angry at all because of Feng Deyi's questioning.
"Let's do this. I entrust you, Prime Minister Feng, to go to Renzhi Palace and ask the saint why he did this on my behalf. This will not only solve Prime Minister Feng's confusion, but also make me feel at ease. How about that?"
As soon as Li Xiuning finished speaking, the smile on Feng Deyi's face froze instantly.
In fact, I was just talking casually, princess, why are you so serious!
Before Feng Deyi could think of how to defend himself, he saw Li Xiuning looking at the guards below with a calm expression.
"Where are the Nanya Imperial Guards? Why don't you quickly arrange carriages and horses for the Prime Minister to send him to Renzhi Palace to meet the saint!"
"yes!"
Then, Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded when he saw that several warriors outside the palace gate had rushed in without hesitation, and took the stunned Feng Deyi hostage down to the Tai Chi Palace.
"The saint has ordered me to temporarily supervise the country. Do you still have any objections to this?"
Li Xiuning's eyes flickered, and his beautiful eyes had already swept across the remaining officials present.
"It just so happens that the carriages and horses are all ready. You can go to Renzhi Palace to meet the saint and find out what's going on. At the same time, you can also keep each other company on the road with the Prime Minister."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jiancheng saw all the officials standing up, clasping their hands and bowing in salute.
"I have no objections, and I respectfully obey the edict!"
After hearing these words, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, cooling him down to his heels.
He had no idea that none of the officials who greeted him with smiles and obeyed his advice would actually come forward when he really needed help, except Feng Deyi.
The world is so cold!
"Thank you, gentlemen!"
After seeing that all the officials had expressed their opinions, Li Xiuning nodded slightly, and then said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Then please continue the discussion. I still have the saint's secret decree to convey to His Highness the Crown Prince, Mr. Pei..."
Pei Ji immediately took a step forward and clasped his hands in fists.
"your Highness!"
Li Xiuning nodded to Pei Ji and said warmly.
"I will trouble you to take charge of today's imperial examination. After the imperial examination is over, I will ask Mr. Pei to send the results to Qianqiu Palace. I will also learn from the ministers."
"yes!"
Pei Ji agreed.
"Old minister, you should do your best!"
"Um!"
Li Xiuning smiled at Pei Ji, then turned to look at Li Jiancheng, who was standing beside him stupidly, and whispered.
"Brother Bishamon, let's go to the back of the palace, and I will show you Aye's secret decree."
"..."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Jiancheng held Li Yuan's secret edict in his hand, and his body was trembling involuntarily.
"If I have any intention of procrastinating and shirk the responsibility, I will send you to meet Aye with the help of the third lady..."
