General Xue watched him leave, shook his head and said.
What kind of opportunity is the Great Court Meeting? Officials from all over the country gather together. If they excel in the Great Court Meeting, it will be a matter of fame for a country. What's more, even if he is not here today, the merits of heaven's punishment, enlightenment, and reform
Even the merits of Li Yi cannot be bypassed. After today, the name Li Yi can be considered to be truly famous in both the government and the public.
Not only the court in Kyoto, but also officials from various states will not forget this name easily.
Not far behind him, Cui Qingze, Chen Chong, and Zeng Shichun were walking side by side.
Cui Qingze looked at the back, his eyes wandering, and murmured: "This Marquis of Li County is really famous today..."
Chen Chong stretched out his hands and rubbed them, and also sighed: "It's really cold today..."
Zeng Shichun wrapped himself in his robe and nodded: "Yes..."
…
Li Yi walked to the door of Chenlu Palace and learned that the princess had returned, so he walked in casually.
The maid at the door knew that Marquis Li Xian was coming and there was no need to notify the princess, so she let him enter the room.
There was a huge sand table in this room, with undulating sand dunes and intersecting lines of various colors. Li Mingzhu placed three small flags on several sand dunes. When Li Yi walked in, he happened to see this scene.
"Have you conquered Zhao's city again?"
Li Mingzhu looked back at him walking in, nodded, and said: "Originally it was just a counterattack, but later General Xu made a decisive decision and took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture General Zhao, and conquered three cities in a row..."
Li Yi did not answer the question this time, but looked at Her Royal Highness in surprise.
To be precise, it was looking at her outfit.
The phoenix crown can only be worn by the queen, but she will preside over today's court meeting. In order to distinguish her status, she still has a phoenix hairpin on her head. When she wears this phoenix hairpin, not only does she not show any more charm of a woman, but she also looks far away.
Looking from a distance, it actually looks domineering.
This was the first time he had seen this outfit. It was graceful, luxurious, and very solemn. Apart from being solemn, it also had a different kind of temptation.
Li Mingzhu turned her head and asked him: "Why didn't you go to court today?"
"I drank some wine last night..." Li Yi rubbed his head and said, "I accidentally fell asleep..."
Li Mingzhu frowned, "It's not like you don't know your drinking capacity, why are you so careless?"
I originally wanted to prove myself to Miss Liu Er last night, but I accidentally overestimated it a little bit and fell unconscious while drinking. I don’t know if she took advantage of her secretly when she helped him back to his room yesterday...
He shook his head to dispel these thoughts and asked, "Is everything going well?"
"The Great Court Meeting is held every year, and the etiquette procedures are fixed. There is no question of whether it goes smoothly or not, it's just a matter of step..."
She pointed to the sand table in front of her and the detailed lists of various ministries on the table beside her. Thinking of the changes in Jingguo over the past year, she murmured: "Although the Great Court Meeting is the same, the world is different after all..."
Li Yi looked at her like this. At this moment, he seemed to really see an emperor who looked down upon the world.
And this world was conquered step by step through all their hardships...
Of course, there are more hardships waiting for them on this road.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you."
A maid from Chenlu Palace walked in with a eunuch and said respectfully.
Li Yi yawned and said, "Go ahead. I'll find a place to rest for a while. I didn't sleep well yesterday..."
The eunuch took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty said that if the Marquis of Li County is here, come with him."
…
"I know that my body is like this every year. In the first half of the month, when the weather gets warmer, it will naturally get better."
Emperor Jing lay on the soft floor and looked at the old man sitting on the chair beside him and said.
Facing the lord of a country, the old man's tone remained unhurried: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important, but national affairs are related to the livelihood of all people, so we must not neglect it."
Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "I don't have to worry about this, Grand Tutor. During this period, Mingzhu has been in charge of the government on my behalf, and the government is stable and everything is going smoothly. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to relax and recuperate."
"Although the princess is talented, it is not the right path for a woman to be in charge of government, and it cannot last long." The old man looked at him and said slowly.
Emperor Jing nodded and asked, "Have you also heard about the celestial phenomena of Yinghuo Shouxin?"
The old man nodded and said, "I heard something."
Emperor Jing looked up and said, "Could it be that my time has really come?"
"Although Yinghuo Shouxin has appeared, everything is not absolute. Your Majesty himself may not believe this." The old man shook his head and said: "But this abnormal celestial phenomenon is not a warning. The position of the East Palace has been vacant for a long time, Your Majesty.
We must also set the principles early and set an example for all the people in the world."
Emperor Jing nodded and said, "Of course I know these."
When the old man saw this, he stopped talking.
As the Grand Tutor and the Emperor's Master, he had to give this warning to the Emperor, but if he went any further, it would be a step too far.
Although he has retired for many years, he has a standard in mind for these matters.
"It's a pity that I didn't attend today's imperial meeting." Emperor Jing opened a long memorial letter, his eyes flashed with light, and he murmured: "If I could be ten years younger, I wouldn't have to have such a heavy burden on Mingzhu's shoulders.
It’s a heavy burden.”
The old man's eyes also showed approval, and he nodded and said: "Although the eldest princess is a woman, her filial piety is commendable, and she can be said to be a woman who cannot be inferior to men..."
Emperor Jing smiled and asked, "The master's study tour lasted for three years. I wonder if there are any interesting stories on the way?"
The old man nodded and said, "The more you travel, the more you see..."
The two were chatting and laughing in the palace. Outside the palace, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Can't you just pretend that I haven't been there..."
Li Mingzhu glanced at him and said nothing. The two of them were led in by a eunuch. The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess and Marquis Li are here."
"My son, please see your father!"
"I see your Majesty!"
After stepping into the main hall and bowing to salute, Li Yi raised his head and was startled when he saw the old man sitting in front of the old emperor's bed.
The old man stood up and saluted Li Mingzhu: "I have seen the princess."
Li Mingzhu walked over, supported her with both hands, and said quickly: "Master, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
"Master?"
Li Yi looked even more surprised when he looked at the old man who met yesterday.
The old man who touched porcelain looked at him, with a smile on his face as dry as tree bark, and said: "Young man, we meet again."
Li Mingzhu looked at the old man, and finally his eyes rested on Li Yi.
Emperor Jing had a look of surprise on his face and asked, "Have you met him before, Taifu?"
