After the end of the dynasty, Emperor Jing did not go back to his palace directly. Instead, he habitually called the two prime ministers and several high officials in the dynasty to go to the imperial garden.
In the past, if there was no final decision in the court, he would discuss it with these people in the imperial garden after the court and finally make a decision.
Except for very few matters, he has never been arbitrary in matters of state.
When he walked outside the palace, he paused and said to a eunuch behind him: "Go to Chenlu Palace and ask the eldest princess to come over."
Although Mingzhu is only a woman, he doesn't know when he started to treat her as the girl who only loved martial arts.
Some of his opinions on national affairs and political affairs often make his eyes shine, and even directly change his thoughts and decisions.
Especially in the past two years.
Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Shen and several important ministers naturally had no objections to this.
They were not qualified to raise objections. What the eldest princess had done in the past two years would put them to shame even if they were put together.
Just like what is sung in folk operas, women should not be inferior to men. It is not an exaggeration at all to use this word to describe the eldest princess.
In the imperial garden, Emperor Jing was sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion. Prime Minister Shen and Prime Minister Qin were old. Emperor Jing specially favored the two of them to sit together. As for the other ministers, they could only stand.
"I confer Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County, as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu. What do you think?"
When they were in the palace just now, these people actually did not speak. In their position, they would not take the initiative to speak out unless His Majesty's decision was extremely inappropriate.
Prime Minister Qin pondered for a moment and then said: "The young hero Li County Marquis has made countless contributions to our Jingguo. However, your Majesty has promoted him to County Marquis, which is already a great favor. I think Li County
Hou is still too young, and he does not understand state affairs, nor does he know how to handle politics, so he is not qualified to be the official Jin Ziguanglu... If Your Majesty insists on doing this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of many ministers in the court."
Even he did not dare to deny Li Yi's achievements. Just the punishment from heaven was enough to make his achievements greater than all the ministers in the court, not to mention that he turned the tide, defeated the Qi envoys, and later created
Count the academy...
The Prime Minister of Qin was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he knew Li Yi's contribution to Jingguo one by one better than anyone else.
Your Majesty knighted him to the rank of County Marquis because of his unparalleled contribution to the establishment, which cannot be denied by anyone.
However, if he were to become the youngest Jin Ziguanglu doctor in the history of Jingguo on the basis of the title, it would be too much favor.
Those who have held this official position in the past dynasties are all veteran ministers with decades of political experience and high reputations. It is really not something that a young boy who does not understand government affairs can do.
Emperor Jing looked to one side, and several important ministers also spoke one after another.
Although several people did not hold a negative attitude towards this matter, they did not agree with it.
They didn't turn to Prime Minister Qin or have any grudge against the Marquis of Li County, but they felt that this matter was inappropriate from the bottom of their hearts. The reason was the same as what Prime Minister Qin said, which was very important to the court.
An official position cannot be given to a boy who does not understand state affairs.
This can be seen from his speech in the temple just now.
Prime Minister Shen, who was silent at first, finally spoke when Emperor Jing looked over, "I think that... Your Majesty should think twice about this matter."
This meant that no one agreed with him. Emperor Jing did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. Before that, he had already guessed the behavior of the officials.
After all, Li Yi is still too young.
However, even if he really does not understand government affairs, as long as he is in the court, he can solve problems that cannot be solved by the civil and military forces of the court. His achievements are far more than these, but he will not be an official with real power, except for
There's nothing he can give the other party.
Seeing Mingzhu who had been standing next to him for a while, Emperor Jing waved his hand and stopped mentioning that matter, saying: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Regarding the floods in the south..."
Qin Xiang lowered his head slightly and sighed in his heart.
The meaning of shelving for the time being was that it could not be changed. After all, he still underestimated the status of Li County Marquis in His Majesty's heart.
King Shu, how could he establish such a powerful enemy for nothing?
Regarding the flood in the south, after listening to the remarks of many officials in the court just now, several people had some thoughts in their minds. Li Mingzhu recorded everything they said. Not long after, a palace guard came in from outside.
Chang De stood outside the pavilion, stopped him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The guard said: "The Marquis of County Li is outside, asking to see the eldest princess."
Before Chang De could speak, a voice came from behind him.
Emperor Jing raised his head, with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "Let him come in."
…
"My father has given you the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu. Of course he has his reasons. Don't talk nonsense..."
Li Yi looked at the eldest princess with some surprise.
The two of them talked on a daily basis, and would occasionally complain, but it was nothing to this extent at the moment. He shook his head and said: "What nonsense? This position is originally for those veterans who have become officials, how can they be granted casually...
…”
Li Mingzhu looked at him, his eyes glancing in a certain direction intentionally or unintentionally.
Behind the thick bushes, an official frowned slightly and was about to raise his feet. Emperor Jing waved his hand, a hint of joking appeared on his face, and the official immediately lowered his head and stood quietly behind him.
"This is really inappropriate. I have to talk to His Majesty. I'm a little smart at best, but I really don't understand anything about governing the country." Li Yi saw her eyes looking at him for a while, and then looking to the side.
, asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your eyes? Is there sand in your eyes? Do you want me to blow them out for you?"
Li Mingzhu coughed slightly, lowered his head slightly and said, "It's okay."
Seeing that she was really fine, Li Yicai asked about the business, "How are things going in the academy?"
"Everything is being implemented according to the plan and everything is going well..."
…
Behind the trees, looks of shock appeared on the faces of several ministers, including Prime Minister Qin.
Listening to the conversation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Marquis Li, it turns out that the academy incident that caused a stir in Kyoto a few days ago was not the fault of the eldest princess, but someone else was behind it?
That conspiracy that caused countless aristocratic families to complain but could not follow it was done by him?
Thinking back to the account review, he seemed to have used the same method to almost wipe out the forces of the Cui family and the King of Shu. Several people felt happy in their hearts at the same time - happy that they were not his enemies.
No, a few people just objected to His Majesty's reward for him. Will he hold a grudge for this...
Li Yi had no idea that there were people behind Shuying who had wild imaginations. After learning about the progress of the academy, he felt relieved. He accidentally caught a glimpse of some messy papers on the table, looked at them carefully, and said in surprise: "This is..., you
Thinking of ways to control the water?"
Li Mingzhu didn't know his father's intention, nor did he know when Li Yi would leave. She nodded absently, "I haven't learned about it before. I don't know much about water control..."
The eldest princess finally turned back to the proactive and enterprising eldest princess. Li Yi was very pleased, waved his hand and said, "No one is born knowing this. If you don't understand, I'll teach you!"
Behind the shadow of the tree, the expression on Emperor Jing's face was frozen, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
