Chapter 2688 He really can't afford to offend the courtier who embraces him as the emperor
"This old dog reacts very quickly..." Wang Yong came to Wang Kui's side and whispered softly.
Wang Kui glared at the head of the Jingzhao Wang family. He was so old that he didn't know how to restrain himself when speaking.
"This is not the place to talk. Since he, the Zhongshu Ling, has decided to let His Majesty make a decision, let's see what His Majesty will choose."
"I have already sent someone to return to the city in advance to inform Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the king and we are ministers regarding these matters.
Naturally, I share your Majesty's worries, so there is no reason for Your Majesty to be influenced by your Majesty.
He, Zheng Yuanshou, and the eldest grandson Wuji are both prime ministers of the country, so naturally they have to bear the main responsibility."
"Brother is wise, little brother understands." After hearing Wang Kui's words, Wang Yong couldn't help but sincerely bowed to the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Yes, yes, when it comes to treacherous tricksters, this brother is far above me.
This is quite normal. The Taiyuan Wang family is originally a descendant clan. After Your Majesty ascends the throne, the descendants should get more benefits.
However, the Zheng family in Xingyang took advantage of the favorable geographical location and joined forces with many aristocratic families to seize many key positions.
And he, Wang Kui, actually got the position of a servant among the three princes, which sounds very nice, but has no real power.
Wang Kui was extremely jealous, but considering the overall situation, he could only endure it for the time being.
Anyway, after His Majesty ascended the throne and everything calmed down, the Queen had her grandniece and was there to blow His Majesty's pillow.
The Wang family of Taiyuan will definitely come from behind and become the final winner of His Royal Highness the King of Jin's ascension to the throne.
As for Duke Zhao's eldest son, Sun Wuji, the reason why he was kept here was just to wait until His Majesty could assume power.
He used his identity and network to appease many factions and prevent chaos in the Tang Dynasty.
On the other side, several officials with Shandong clan backgrounds were also whispering quietly at this moment.
"Xiao Weng, it seems that the Taiyuan Wang family has already complained about the Xingyang Zheng family's monopoly of power..."
"It would be weird if there were no criticisms, haha... The Zheng family in Xingyang is short-sighted, and the Wang family in Taiyuan is not much better. Even if it is called a raccoon dog in the same breed, it is not an exaggeration."
"Don't pay attention, we just need to sit back and watch for the time being, and let them fight.
When necessary, if someone loses power and asks for help from us, it will be easy to wait for the price and sell it."
Zhang Liang and a group of generals watched as the civil servants left in groups again, and he, as well as several of his subordinates, were once again treated as transparent.
What a fool! Zhang Liang's eyes turned red. Wait, I want you to be aloof and reserved now. I won't be happy to call you dad or grandpa later.

Li Zhi was sitting in the Wencheng Hall. It was he who was supposed to maintain the majesty and momentum of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, watching the ministers and ministers perform their duties with sincerity and fear.
But at this moment, I heard that the round and square mounds that offered sacrifices to heaven and earth had been destroyed, and the criminals had leveled these two places.
Apart from leaving behind two large ironic flags, not even a single leg hair was found.
Of course, these are not big things. The big thing is what should I do for my coronation ceremony in three days? What should I do?
"Do you have any good ideas so that the enthronement ceremony in three days' time can be held smoothly?"
The new Taichang Qing Zheng Taichang could only bite the bullet, bowed to the dark-faced new emperor Li Zhi and explained.
"Your Majesty, I have asked the craftsmen to level and rebuild the destroyed round and square hills.
At least a lot of manpower and material resources will be used to repeat the old view within a month."
Li Zhi's face became extremely ugly and he couldn't help but yell.
"What do you mean, Zheng Qing, to postpone the enthronement ceremony until a month later and then choose another auspicious day?"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Wang Yong quickly stood up and shouted loudly.
"After the death of the late emperor, no one is in control of the Tang Dynasty. Only by ascending the throne as soon as possible can we stabilize the country.
An auspicious day has been chosen, and the enthronement ceremony will begin in three days, and a notice has been posted in Luoyang City."
"At this time, it would be inappropriate to contradict one's words again."
These words directly angered Zheng Taichang, who raised his neck and retorted.
"Then I dare to ask Scholar Wang, what do you think should be done?"
Wang Yong naturally wouldn't let this fool him. Anyway, after jumping out to brush his presence, he put his hands in his sleeves and stepped aside.
"Huh, naturally you, the Taichang Qing, will tell His Majesty how to resolve this matter."
Seeing how despicable this guy was, Zheng Taichang really had the urge to pick up a big stick and fight this shameless old man to the death.
Unfortunately, before he could finish brewing, he heard the new emperor's somewhat impatient voice.
"Zheng Qing's family, I wonder if you have any good ideas to solve my worries?"
Zheng Taichang took a deep breath, turned around and saluted Li Zhi respectfully, and then said with a look of shame on his face.
"Your Majesty, I am stupid and I really don't know what else to do. Please forgive me for my incompetence."
"..." The expression on Li Zhi's face suddenly froze. What the hell, is it possible that he started to punish the heroes who supported him before he officially ascended the throne?
If this spreads out, the new emperor will most likely be given a harsh reputation.
Li Zhi looked at the disheveled Zheng Taichang with great pain. After a long time, he waved his hand with a headache.
"This happened suddenly, and I can't blame you for this. Dear friends, who has a good idea to solve this urgent problem?"
#####
All the civil and military ministers looked at each other in shock at this moment, but they were not willing to come out to show their shame again. After all, Yuanqiu and Fangqiu were gone.
If you want to solve it, everyone has solutions, but these solutions will have various flaws to a greater or lesser extent.
But no one is stupid, after all, if anyone makes such a suggestion, they may be fooled.
After all, everyone is a veteran who has experienced many years of officialdom and feuding. It is normal for civil servants to get involved, not to mention now that the new emperor has ascended the throne.
No one was willing to leave a bad impression in front of the new emperor, which resulted in such a stalemate.
Li Zhi blinked and looked at the group of servants, who stared at each other one by one, creating a strange stalemate.
This really made Li Zhi want to slap him and scold him, but he didn't dare. Yes, at this stage, he really couldn't afford to offend the ministers who supported him as the emperor.
Even if I find my way to frying and frying all these things in the future, for now, I can only continue to pretend.
Then, Changsun Wuji saw Li Zhi sitting behind the couch, his eyes red, and he let out a deep sigh with a dark look on his face.
"All the ministers are the pillars of the imperial court and loyal ministers. I hope you can work together to solve the current predicament..."
