Li Yi felt that in the future, we must improve our knowledge of people. We should not make friends with irregular people, let alone old and irregular people.
Those who argue in front of many courtiers about who is tougher than the other obviously have no sense of shame and are so immoral that they have no bottom line.
Remember not to have close friendship with such people.
Seeing General Xue's humiliated look, Li Yi sighed and said, "I think it would be more appropriate to cooperate with the Wang family in the military ration business. The Wang family has a big business and stupid people have a lot of money...
Let's do this, this month I will give you the dividends that the two generals deserve. Since business cannot be done without mercy, we can still keep in touch in the future..."
"Haha, just kidding..." The military grain business is the family's source of wealth. Old General Xue's expression changed, he hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "The younger generation in Kyoto..., no, we have to add years.
You are several generations old. Among these people, I appreciate you the most. We have something to discuss..."
"Old man Xue, you just scolded me in a roundabout way, and now you are swearing at me, do you still know how ashamed you are!" General Ma glanced at Old General Xue disdainfully, walked over, and patted Li Yi on the shoulder,
Said: "Boss Li, you shouldn't cooperate with an ungrateful person like Old Man Xue in this kind of business. You kick the Xue family out. Our Ma family is willing to pay an extra ten thousand taels this time..."
"Huh? Old man Ma, your family is connected to this line because of me. Now you want to kill the donkey?"
"It's you, the shameless old donkey, who will be killed!"
"Boy Li, don't stop me. Today I want to let Old Man Ma know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
"Don't worry, I won't stop you, please..."
…
Li Yi silently retreated to his seat and watched the two of them pinch each other.
Unintentionally, he turned around and glanced around, and found that a gaze had been fixed on him.
King Xin broke his leg when he escaped from the fire, but it was recovered by the imperial doctor later. Apart from a slight difficulty in walking, it was not a big problem.
His hair was burned, but when he pulled it up and put on the crown, he couldn't see much change. At this moment, he was standing among the princes, looking straight at him, without concealing the hatred in his eyes.
Li Yi was a little confused. Wasn't the person who set fire to Prince Xin's palace a fanatical follower of the Holy Religion? Why did Prince Xin hate him so much?
Have you ever offended him?
It seems—no?
Crazy, his family obviously didn't burn it by himself, but he still glared at himself like this. Li Yi glared back with a sharp look, and King Xin trembled, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with Brother Xin Wang?"
Someone hurried over to help him, and at this moment, the palace door suddenly opened slowly.
The officials immediately shut their mouths and stood back to their seats. The opening of the palace door heralded the official start of the court meeting.
A middle-aged eunuch walked out of it and shouted in a high-pitched and thin voice: "I have an audience..."
Li Yi was at the very front among the courtiers. He walked into the palace gate and passed through the long corridor. Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no noise. Until he entered the main hall and looked back, the crowd was still dark.
There's no end in sight.
The Great Court Meeting is the court meeting with the largest number of officials participating. In addition to officials and dignitaries from Kyoto, local officials from all over the country will also go to court. This is the only opportunity for most of them to go to court in a year to reward, punish, praise or demote, promote or demote,
It's all this time too.
The old emperor arrived late as usual. Li Yi noticed that by now, his originally straight spine had completely bent down. He was not so much sitting on a dragon throne as he was leaning on it.
.
With his current physical condition, he is actually no longer suitable to participate in such extremely tiring occasions, but for an emperor, if he cannot even participate in the annual imperial meeting, this emperor will have little meaning.
.
The process of the annual imperial meeting is mostly the same.
Emperor Jing didn't say much this year, and his eunuchs followed the procedures step by step.
Except for the first few ceremonial contents, the one that lasted the longest and had the largest number of participants was the performance report by local officials and various ministries of the imperial court.
Officials from various places need to report the taxation, population, economy, education, etc. under their jurisdiction during the year. This is related to their promotion and assessment in the coming year. The Six Ministries have been vigorously promoting reforms this year, and naturally they must also report what they have achieved this year.
results.
Li Yi listened patiently for nearly two hours. The changes that Jingguo has made in the past few years can be described as earth-shaking. Both political economy and military have made great progress.
Of course, almost every detail of this was finalized after detailed discussions between him and Mingzhu. Such a result was within his expectation.
He casually glanced ahead and saw Li Xuan in the crowd.
Compared with the high-spirited King Qi, Li Xuan seemed a little listless. At one point, he raised his head and looked at Li Yi, his eyes slightly empty.
Li Yi looked away and stopped looking.
This is indeed a cruel thing for Li Xuan, but his life experience and status have destined him to bear this. In the adult world, there is no such thing as easy. Either change the world or change yourself.
After Chongduo officials have finished reporting their duties, they will announce some major events as usual, which is what everyone is most looking forward to.
All signs indicate that the position of the East Palace will be settled at this great court meeting.
After the last official retreated, the eunuch looked back. After getting the signal, he slowly turned his head and shouted loudly: "Press the Cui family's guilty ministers up!"
In the main hall, all the officials moved out of the way and watched as the palace guards escorted several figures up and knelt in the hall.
They were extremely familiar with these people, because just a few months ago, these people were in the same court as them, and perhaps they had argued about something. At this time, the once powerful Cui family was almost
An important person knelt down in front of them like this.
The eunuch cleared his throat and read: "The Cui family has a vengeful intention to murder the prince. It is a heinous crime to bring trouble to the court. It is a heinous crime to bring chaos to the people. It is difficult to write down... Such evil people cannot be brought to justice without killing them."
The people are angry, and not killing him is not enough to comfort the world..."
"Thirteen people including Cui Qingze, Cui Qingming, Cui Qingduo, etc., committed extremely heinous crimes, and were executed as a warning to others. They took away the position of Concubine Cui Xian, and will live in Yeting permanently from then on, and are not allowed to leave the palace. Cui Ming, Cui Xian, etc. two
Sixteen people, traveling 1,500 miles... Cui Zheng, Cui Jian..."
The case of conspiracy by the Cui family and others has caused a sensation in Kyoto a few months ago. Although it has been a little quiet these days, everyone can predict the final outcome of the Cui family.
I just didn't expect that His Majesty would announce the outcome of this case at the court meeting.
Several major members of the Cui family could not escape death, and most of the rest were exiled. It is difficult to return to Kyoto in this life. Concubine Cui has entered the cold palace and will be difficult to come out in this life. Although the method of dealing with the King of Shu was not mentioned,
His actions are equivalent to defecting. Once he appears, he will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court...
It is really sad that the Cui family, which had so much power for a while, ended up like this...
