At this point, the Great Court Meeting is almost coming to an end.
There were so many things that happened in this year's court meeting, which can be said to be full of twists and turns, including the unsolved case of more than 20 years ago, Cui's conviction, the mystery of the life experience of the eldest princess and Crown Prince Li Xuan, the confirmation of the position of the East Palace, and the future situation of the court.
Then it settled down...
The prince has been established, and the country is stable; the princess assists the government, and the court is stable.
All the unstable factors in Jinghe's four years have been cleared away today.
There is no doubt that starting from the fifth year of Jinghe, Jingguo will usher in a new era that no emperor of the past has ever created.
The last item of the annual imperial meeting is the reward for those who have made meritorious services in the past year.
Jingguo is currently undergoing reforms in full swing, and many of the measures have begun to bear fruit. The eldest princess is good at employing people and has dedicated personnel. In the past year, outstanding talents have emerged in various fields, so much so that the imperial court will
The last item is half an hour longer than in previous years.
Many people have received generous rewards, and there are no longer promotions in the court, but there are no longer a few people who have been promoted to official positions.
Among them, the reward for Li County Marquis was only a few sentences and not very generous, but everyone was not surprised by this.
In the past year, Li Xianhou did not do anything earth-shattering as usual.
That's because his actions have penetrated into all aspects. To this day, no one in the court knows that most of Jing Guoyou's current progress is attributed to the eldest princess, and he is the person standing behind Her Royal Highness.
Almost every decree and measure of Her Royal Highness the Princess has his shadow behind it.
His contribution is huge, but he no longer needs reward.
In terms of title, at a young age, he has already been granted the title of Marquis. Going one step further is the limit that a foreign minister can achieve.
In terms of official position, he is already the Jin Ziguanglu doctor, a third-rank official in the imperial court. Although he has a false title, he has real power.
On relationships…
He is Your Majesty's most trusted minister. As long as Your Majesty is still here, no one can touch him.
The current prince and the future emperor are his best friends. The extent of their close friends cannot be imagined by the officials.
The princess of the current dynasty, whose status was only lower than the prince, had always had an unclear relationship with him. It was actually unclear who was in front of whom, who was behind whom, who was above and who was below.
He no longer needs to improve his status through promotion and title. Such a person has long become an insurmountable mountain for all officials and dignitaries.
Li Yi didn't care at all about these rewards. In fact, he didn't even remember what the eunuch read just now.
Old fox, really an old fox.
I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Li Xuan would become the crown prince and inherit the throne. Who would have thought that something like this would happen again.
The good Princess Pearl has become Princess Pearl again...
She is still the Princess Mingzhu who is assisting the government. What is the difference between this and before?
With Li Xuan's temperament, can he sit in that position? Even if he became the emperor, he would have enough power to open the door for the Academy of Sciences. All court affairs and political affairs would definitely be left to Mingzhu. Anyway, there is no imperial edict.
Well, who is in charge and who is in charge, who is in charge, where is there an obvious boundary...
The big court meeting is coming to an end soon, and only the last ceremony is left.
Some courtiers obviously still have a lot of resentment towards the Marquis of Li County. No one knew what His Majesty was thinking about the originally vague matter. They did not dare to act rashly before the meeting, just because he beat King Xin and closed the matter.
After receiving the courtesy from King Qi, some people clearly stood on King Qi's side.
As a result, King Qi's horse stumbled, and they also fell miserably.
Li Yi was depressed in his heart. He felt the gaze beside him, turned his head and said viciously: "What are you looking at? If you look again, if you look again, I will dig out your eyeballs!"
The official trembled and immediately retracted his neck.
After all, the other party has become the person with the deepest background in this dynasty. Even the prince cannot afford to offend him, and they can't afford to offend them even more...
…
After the Great Court Meeting, officials from all over the country mostly walked around and stayed until after the Lantern Festival.
The matter of establishing a prince should not only be talked about in the court. Such important events of the country should be announced to the world. Notices should be posted on the palace walls and city gates. In just half a day, everyone in Kyoto already knew the identity of the eldest son and the status of the royal family.
Secrets, the position of the East Palace... these are topics of great interest to the people.
Li Yi seemed a little uninterested.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, with Li Xuan taking the position, Mingzhu assisting the government, no one in the entire Kyoto and the entire Jing Kingdom can stop what they want to do.
There are no obstacles, no enemies, oneself..., it seems that there is really nothing to do.
He has no intention of joining the court and does not want to be promoted to a higher position. When his business reaches this level, money is just a number to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the pinnacle of his life. According to the conventional routine, he will continue to work hard.
Go up, maybe all that is left is to pull Li Xuan down from his seat and sit on it himself...
However, this was too cheap for him and he did not consider it.
By the way, he also promised Ruyi that he would go to Wu Kingdom to see her little apprentice, and he couldn't go alone. Kyoto has been a really boring place to stay in these past few years, so he took Ruyi and the others on a sightseeing tour.
, look at this world...
Of course, before that, at least Zui Mo must be married home in a dignified manner, and then Ruo Qing...
He took back what he just said, obviously he still had something to do.
"Xiaohuan..."
From morning to now, he just finished a bowl of porridge and was a little hungry. Li Yi called out to Xiaohuan a few times out of habit, and then he realized that Xiaohuan Ruyi and Zuimo had gone out in the morning. During the New Year's Day, there were
For some inevitable gatherings and entertainments, Ruyi used to take Xiaohuan with her. As the second wife of the Li family, Zuimo naturally had to go with her this year.
"Mr. Li, what's the matter?" Xiaohuan did not respond, but saw Xiaozhu running out of the room in a hurry.
"Go and tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes and bring them over, along with a pot of grape wine..."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Xiaozhu responded and ran back in a hurry.
Li Yi was startled and reminded: "The kitchen is outside, you ran the wrong way..."
…
In a clean and tidy room, a beautiful woman sat at the table and slowly turned the pages of the book.
"Sister Ruoqing..." Light footsteps came from the door, and the girl knocked on the door and walked in.
Ruoqing put down the book, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaozhu rolled his eyes and said: "Master Li is hungry. He said he wants to eat the food cooked by the lady..."
Ruoqing stood up and came over, pinched her nose and said, "He wouldn't say that. You want to eat it yourself, right?"
Xiaozhu smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't it for his sake? After all, he also likes to eat the food cooked by Sister Ruoqing..."
Ruoqing shook her head helplessly and said, "You go and play by yourself for a while, I'll cook."
Xiaozhu smiled and nodded, watching her walk out the door, the smile on her face disappeared, she sighed, and shook her head helplessly.
My young lady is really stupid, and Mr. Li is also a big fool. It is obviously a good opportunity for the two of them to be alone together, but they are actually reading a book in the room alone, and sitting in the yard alone in a daze...
When can these two people save themselves from worry...
However, when it comes to eating, there seems to be something missing...
Yes, the grape wine is missing.
The weather was cold and the grape wine needed to be warmed before drinking. The Li family had a special wine cellar. Xiaozhu ran over and a servant in the room immediately asked: "Sister Xiaozhu, what can I do?"
In the hearts of all the servants, Miss Xiaohuan, Miss Xiaocui and Miss Xiaozhu are different from other maids and must be treated with respect.
"Well, if you adults want to drink, help me get a pot of grape wine."
"I'll get it right away..."
"Wait a minute..."
The servant turned around and asked doubtfully: "Sister Xiaozhu, what else can I do?"
Xiaozhu thought for a while and said: "Get another small jar of strong liquor - the strongest one."
