When the late emperor was in power, he was diligent in his administration, and except for serious illness or special circumstances, the early dynasty was rarely interrupted for decades.
Although the current Majesty's diligence in government affairs is far from comparable to that of the late emperor, the morning court is still held every day, but the person who presides over the morning court has been replaced by the eldest princess.
In this regard, civil and military officials have long formed a habit. It is not surprising not to see His Majesty in the morning, but it is strange to see His Majesty.
Therefore, when they stood neatly in the court hall and saw the princess and His Majesty walking out from both sides, they were a little surprised.
Today is not the first day of the Lunar New Year, nor is it a special day. It is really rare for His Majesty to come to court.
As for whether His Majesty regretted his previous slackness, these ministers could not guess. After being slightly surprised, the morning court was held as usual.
An official of the Academy of Sciences gave a detailed report on the recent research progress of the Academy of Sciences; the Minister of Rites advised His Majesty to expand the harem to stabilize the country; an older censor bluntly said that the position cannot be left vacant. Now that the Qin Prime Minister has retired, a new prime minister
Need to confirm as soon as possible...
The emperor highly affirmed the research of the Academy of Sciences and turned a deaf ear to the words of the Minister of Rites. Then he looked at the ministers and slowly said: "I already have a candidate in mind for the phase, so you don't need to say more."
Many people in the court heard the words and felt bitter in their hearts. The reason why they wanted to talk more was because His Majesty already had someone in mind...
The candidate in his mind is really not suitable for the phase...
Li Xuan looked at the eunuch beside him and said slowly: "Declare the decree."
"According to the decree."
The eunuch nodded respectfully, took out an imperial edict, stepped forward, and glanced at the officials below.
It was this glance that gave everyone an unpleasant premonition.
At this time, the eunuch's high-pitched voice came from above.
"The edict says..."
Just hearing the two words "Edict" made countless people's hearts sink.
Imperial edicts are carefully worded, with different contents and different wordings. There are three main types: "Edict", "Zhi", and "Imperial edict".
"Imperial edict" means a warning in addition to awarding rewards. "Zhiyue" is used to announce officials and express the emperor's favor. As for "imperial edict", it means to inform the world and is not used for non-important events.
Your Majesty uses the "Edict" to appoint a prince and confer a title on a princess.
The important thing is that the title of prime minister does not require "edict".
"Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County, is a man of great intelligence and outstanding achievements. Since the early years of Jinghe, he has created heavenly punishments, presented horseshoes, changed torture, retreated enemy envoys, started arithmetic, and avoided floods..."
The eunuch was still chanting loudly, and the ears of the officials in the palace were buzzing.
Marquis Li Yi of Chang'an County..., indeed, indeed!
As expected, His Majesty still refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way, intending to appoint Marquis Li of County as prime minister. This would make him the youngest prime minister in the history of Jingguo and the most...lazy prime minister.
At that moment, the expressions of several censors and veteran ministers changed and they stood up from the crowd. They could not interrupt before the edict was finished reading, otherwise it would be a serious crime. But at this moment, everyone could clearly see the determination on their faces.
"Purge the moths, sweep away the treacherous traitors, and push forward reforms... His achievements are so great that he is bestowed with the title of King Jing as a sign of heaven's grace. He will pass it on forever and obey him forever. I am so grateful!"
The eunuch's voice still echoed in the hall, and some people's expressions finally relaxed.
Not the prime minister...
It turns out that he was just conferred the title of King Jing, not the prime minister. It seems that His Majesty is still, still...
Jing..., King Jing?
One word king!
"Jing" is the title of the Kingdom of Jing. King Jing has always been the most respected prince. Since decades ago, there has been no King Jing in the royal family. Now, His Majesty actually gave this title to a person with a different surname - —A non-royal person!
This is simply ridiculous!
The most ridiculous thing in the world!
Li Mingzhu looked at Li Xuan, who had a solemn expression, and moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"It goes against the ancestral system for a foreign minister to be crowned king. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
…
There had been an explosion in the court hall, and countless ministers knelt down on the spot and spoke loudly.
"I have made up my mind!" Li Xuan waved his hand and walked out from the side.
A eunuch shouted: "Retreat!"
"Prime Minister Shen, please say something!"
"Master Wang, your Majesty cannot be allowed to have his own way in this matter!"
"Master Yang, please go see the Queen Mother. You can't let Your Majesty act like this!"
"Princess, Your Royal Highness, please advise Your Majesty again!"
…
After the ministers stood up, they immediately placed their last hopes on several important ministers of the dynasty.
The head of the Wang family sighed. He knew why his majesty would do this, so he also knew that it was impossible for his majesty to take back this edict.
An old man shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is different from the previous emperor. At this time, no one can speak to help..."
Prime Minister Shen looked outside the palace with turbid eyes and murmured: "No, there is another person. Your Majesty will definitely listen to what he says."
Harem, a palace somewhere.
Wang Qin brought a cup of tea, placed it in front of Li Xuan, and said softly: "Husband, don't be angry..."
"They said I was suspicious of him..." Li Xuan held her hand and asked her to sit aside. Then he sighed and said, "Qin'er, tell me, can he understand what I do?"
Wang Qin sighed, but she could only sigh. There were some things that even if she could see clearly, she couldn't explain them clearly to him.
He was worried that the Marquis of Li County would overthink things because of the rumors outside, but he didn't know that the more he did this, the worse his situation would be...
…
Today, not only the court was in a state of excitement, but even the people were boiling over in a very short period of time.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the power of Li County Marquis has reached its peak. Since ancient times, such ministers have not had a good end. Not only the officials in the court, but also the people in Beijing are also speculating that it won't be long before His Majesty begins to doubt him. ,The fall of the Li family is a foregone conclusion...
Who would have thought that after so long, their Majesty would give them all a loud slap in the face.
King Jing, King of One Word...
A foreign minister is granted the title of king. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no foreign minister has ever received such an honor.
Although Marquis Li's achievements were great, no one in the court could compare with him, but he did not open up borders and split the land. If he led the troops to destroy Qi or Zhao, it would be understandable for him to be granted the title of prince, but now - After all, he is too young, and this holy family is a bit too...
The one-word king just said so and sealed it. His Majesty has directly stated his attitude. From now on, who else in the entire Kyoto will dare to offend the Li family?
Li family.
The head of the family was crowned king, which was a great honor, and the whole house was filled with joy.
Li Yicai sent the worried old lady away, sat back in the yard, rubbed his swollen head, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess walked in from outside.
He sighed and said, "We agreed that you should stop him?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "You know, no one can stop what he wants to do."
"Why are you stopping me?" Li Xuan came out from behind and said, "You have done so much for Jingguo and the world, but what does it mean to be a mere prince?"
"You haven't counted how many foreign ministers have been crowned kings since the founding of Jingguo?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "You don't care what the courtiers will think or what the people will think?"
"I don't care what they think." Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously: "I only care about what you think."
