Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters stalemate between monarchs and ministers
Li Yi knew what Li Xuan was thinking, but he didn't know that he would actually do this.
King Jing, a one-character king, is almost the highest-status person in Jingguo besides the emperor.
This is the true person who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.
He did not persuade Li Xuan to withdraw his imperial decree, because what would have a greater impact than the title of king to a foreign official was to withdraw the imperial edict after being granted the title of king.
Ordinary people still understand that "a gentleman's words are hard to follow". As an emperor, his words are golden words and golden rules.
Li Xuan didn't care about this and said: "Don't worry, if the officials object, I will take care of everything."
It was too late to say anything at this moment. He knew Li Xuan's temper all too well. Li Yi shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's drink..."
The wine is made by Xiaocui. Xiaocui’s wine has two characteristics: first, it tastes sweet, and second, it is easy to get drunk.
Li Xuan drank two glasses of wine and felt a little swaying.
"You said, what are the benefits of being an emperor or a prince? Why are there so many people trying to squeeze their heads..." Li Xuan was drunk and murmured with hazy eyes: "I still feel that the days in Qing'an Mansion were the most comfortable.
The most comfortable…”
Li Yi was actually not in the mood to drink. Today's incident was just the beginning for Li Xuan. Troublesome things were still to come.
"I know what you don't want to do, prince, I just want to shut their mouths." Li Xuan patted the table and suddenly said: "This Kyoto is not interesting at all. Otherwise, let's run away. Didn't you say
Is there a fun place near Shuzhou? No one can control it. Otherwise, let’s go there..."
Li Mingzhu looked at the two people beside him and shook his head slightly.
The person who least wanted to be an emperor became an emperor, and the person who least wanted to be a prince became a prince. Things in this world are sometimes so ironic.
She stood up, gently tapped Li Xuan's shoulder, and he lay on the table and fell asleep.
She sat back down, looked at Li Yi and asked, "What should we do now?"
Since Li Xuan succeeded to the throne, Li Yi has realized certain things, but he did not expect that Li Xuan's sudden move would push a certain conflict to its peak.
"I don't know." He shook his head, looked at her and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll fry a bowl of rice for you."
"Not hungry." Li Mingzhu shook her head.
"Would you like one egg or two?"
"two."

Reincarnation is a technical job. If you are born into a family of emperors, generals and prime ministers, you will probably have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life, and will enjoy endless glory and wealth; if you are born into a poor family of ordinary people, you are inherently inferior to others, and you need to put in more hardships and efforts than those people before you can earn it.
A good future may not catch up with those people.
Among them, the best scenario is to be reborn in an emperor's family.
Without any effort, they are born as princes and princesses. Children from poor backgrounds may be able to reverse their fate and become generals and ministers with their hard work. However, their origins have already determined that their achievements in this life are no more than generals and ministers.
Got it.
If you want to take another step forward, you can only pray for a good birth in your next life.
But there are always exceptions to everything. Yesterday's Marquis of Li County and today's King of Jing have set a precedent that has never been seen since the founding of Jingguo.
There was a lot of discussion among the people about this, but there was nothing else besides expressions of surprise.
In the edict, King Jing's achievements over the years were clearly written one by one. Many good changes had taken place around them in the past few years, and everyone could see King Jing's shadow in almost all of them.
It was unexpected that he was granted the title of king as an exception, but it was also reasonable.
There was not much opposition from the people to this, but the court and the clan were at loggerheads with the emperor because of this incident.
Not to mention the clan, they all come from the Li family dynasty, so how could they easily allow an outsider to interfere?
Led by several elderly clan members surnamed Li who stayed in Kyoto, they protested to His Majesty. The prince who was away had not yet received the news, but he would not agree even if he thought about it.
At the court, there was quite a bit of criticism about His Majesty's insistence on making the Marquis of Li County Prime Minister. Now it's good that His Majesty did not make him Prime Minister, but directly made him a one-word king. After that, when the Prime Minister saw him, he would also salute...
It's really a headache to follow such a majesty who flips the table whenever he disagrees with me...
Whether it was among the people, the court, or the royal family, Li Yi paid no attention to it.
After being crowned king, he didn't even invite guests to celebrate, it was no different from before.
If we go into details, there are still differences.
In the past, leisure time at home was tight, but now he had to look after three children at the same time, Li Duan, Yongning, and Shouning. The three of them couldn't cope with it, and he couldn't help but imagine his future life, which made him a little worried.
Of course, Shouning is no longer a child, and he can often look after his own children, which is a good change.
Lao Fang stood behind him somewhat tangledly and asked, "Uncle, do you really not need to change the plaque on our door?"
Li Yi waved his hand: "No need."
"It won't work if I don't change it..." Lao Fang shook his head and said: "My uncle is a prince now, and the door can't be so shabby. We need to replace it with two larger stone lions, and the plaque should also be changed..."
"Let's talk about it later." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Is there anything big happening these days?"
"The big thing..." Lao Fang scratched his head and said, "The big thing is that you have been named Prince Jing, and the rest seems to be gone... By the way, yesterday the bald man sent a letter saying that now
I already have a lot of people under my command, and they have built a city in the mountain... I don’t know the details. The second lady is in charge of these things. If I want to know, I will go to the second lady to get the information."
Lao Fang stood up and left, then walked in again and said, "Uncle, there is an old man outside looking for you."
The old man who came to him should be regarded as one of the most powerful old men in Jingguo. Li Yi stood up, walked to the front hall, and bowed his hands to the old man waiting in the hall, "I don't know if Prime Minister Shen is here.
Welcome from afar..."
Prime Minister Shen stood up, bowed in return, and said, "I can't bear King Jing's salute..."
The Li family and the Shen family have a certain friendship. When Prime Minister Shen was in the court, he also stood behind him several times, served good tea, chatted for a few words, and then asked: "Now the court
Only Prime Minister Shen is left to support you, he must be extremely busy, why do you have time to come to my place for tea today?"
Shen Xiang smiled, shook his head and said, "I didn't come here to drink tea with King Jing."
He put down the tea cup and said, "Although King Jing is not in the court, he should know what happened in the court these days, right?"
Li Yi did not deny it.
Prime Minister Shen picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked King Jing for Su Su's matter."
He was talking about Shen Sunu disguising herself as a man and sneaking into the arithmetic academy.
Li Yi suddenly realized that Prime Minister Shen had always kept a low profile in the court. He was completely opposite to Prime Minister Qin and belonged to the moderate faction. But at their age, who could get into this position and not be an old fox?
Whether the matter between Shen Su and Li Xuan happened unintentionally or the Shen family pushed it intentionally, it was the Shen family that ultimately benefited.
This made him look at the old man in front of him with admiration again.
Li Yi did not respond, and Prime Minister Shen did not continue on this topic. He looked at him and said slowly: "I think King Jing knows your Majesty's temper best. Your Majesty has fallen out with the courtiers and relatives this time, and the court is unstable. If this continues, the losses will be great, and the only one who can persuade His Majesty is you."
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Prime Minister Shen shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, but I know, and His Highness King Jing must know."
"You are not me, how do you know that I know?"
"Prince Jing is not me, so how do you know that I don't know?"
…
If he asked any more questions, he would be suspicious of the number of words. Li Yi shook his head and did not intend to argue with the old man in front of him.
There are some things that everyone knows very well, but we can’t go on talking about them at this point.
