This matter was over, and Zhao Xi should have nothing to worry about, so he didn't worry about it anymore.
Apart from the fact that the empress looked at him more and more, and the emperor's father also looked at him with joy, the chaos at the post station did not change much for him.
Who would have known that because of what his father mentioned in court, he would be thrust into the spotlight again.
Zhao Xi has reached the age of elementary school and is established as the crown prince, which is what he should do. No matter whether it is the princes in the court or the clan, there is no objection to this matter.
After all, this time Zhao Xi worshiped his ancestors alone so that he could be the crown prince.
Zhao Xi was also mentally prepared for this. What he was not prepared for, and what the political affairs hall was not prepared for, was that his father actually asked the court to restore the six-rate rate to the prince...
The Sixth Rank of the East Palace was almost regarded as the root cause of the bloodshed in the previous dynasty in the country. Although the ancestral laws did not prohibit it, according to the custom, the prince of the country only had the title of prince and had no real affairs.
Nowadays, the official family is actually...
Zhao Zhen is an emperor after all, and he has learned all the strategies an emperor should have.
There is nothing wrong with establishing Xi'er as the crown prince. However, during the chaos in the Yi Station, Xi'er decisively killed and defended Shilin's reputation. On the issue of Xi'er being crown prince, how can Shilin return Xi'er's favor? This is Zhao
Zhen considered.
To establish the crown prince, Xi'er will have to move to the East Palace... This is of course just an excuse.
Then, Xi'er will no longer be protected by the Imperial City's personal officials and palace ministers, and Xi'er's safety has not become more stable because of the appointment of the crown prince. On the contrary, because of the appointment of the crown prince, Xi'er's chances of leaving the palace have been increased.
The matter of protection required his consideration as a father.
Of course these are all excuses.
Therefore, when Zhao Zhen proposed to discuss the matter, the whole court was in chaos.
The lieutenants, commanding envoys, military envoys, and generals and generals of all ranks in the Xifu watched the excitement and said nothing.
He didn't dare to speak. As soon as he made a sound, all the spit would be directed at him, not the officials.
However, they were thinking about it in their hearts, hoping that this would happen, and also thinking about how to arrange for their nephew to sneak into Liuliu... He was an old minister of Qiandi, and everyone knew that he would definitely prosper in the future.
As for the Dongfu, except for the princes, almost everyone opened fire. Counting the previous dynasties, the shortcomings of the prince's six rates in the previous dynasties have been raised to the very foundation of the dynasty, and they did not spare any face to fight against Zhao Zhen.
You're kidding! Even the prince's subordinate officials in the dynasty were in name only, and they were basically just for sending salary. Now the official family actually wants to restore the six rates? Isn't this contrary to the dynasty's national policy of suppressing military power and promoting culture?
If Liu Lv's old ministers take charge of the army in the future, how can they, the scholar-bureaucrats, suppress the warriors?
Absolutely no!
Zhao Zhen seemed to have expected such a scene. He was not anxious or annoyed, and seemed to be happy to listen to the noise of this group of people. He didn't even have the livid expression on his face when he was sprayed in the past.
He was waiting to see how his husband would deal with it.
Fortunately, Bao Heizi was traveling as a transit envoy to Hebei Province, so he could avoid getting spit on his face.
Last year, because of the incident involving Zhang's sub-father, I was sprayed with spit on my face by that charcoal guy. This time, it's okay, no one came forward... Feel free to make noises below, I have to take care of this matter anyway.
Zhao Zhen seemed to be very confident. Although his husband-in-laws gave him blank looks several times, Zhao Zhen ignored them.
Just like watching a play, just watch and wait.
The whole morning went by in such a fuss. No one seemed to remember the serious things that were supposed to be said. They just remembered that the official family was going to restore the six rates.
Although there was no conclusion, Zhao Zhen was not troubled by uncertainty for the first time and went back to Wende Hall as usual.
Prepare to stay for a while, take care of some trivial matters, and go to Ciming Palace to meet Xi'er.
"Mr. Jia, what should we do about this matter?"
Chen Zhizhong really felt that he couldn't handle it. It wasn't that the husband-in-laws were worried about any copy of the report to the Detective Department about the rebellion at the post station, but their ethics determined that they couldn't cheat.
Shilin should repay Prince E's favor, but the favor... the official asked for was too great.
Don't be surprised, if it were a matter of a single person, the Zhengshitang would not have to be at odds with the official family, but this matter involves the entire Shilin...
The royal family gave preferential treatment to scholars because of their conduct. If this matter spread, although the generals would not be shaken up, it could be used as an excuse from time to time, and the distinction between civil and military affairs would inevitably change. This is indeed not a good thing for the entire scholarly community.
"No matter what, it is absolutely impossible to restore the six rates! Even if His Majesty has an order, the Political Affairs Hall can refute this matter."
Obviously, Jia Changchao was preparing to confront the officials...
"You're worrying too much! The matter has not yet been decided. The official's intention may not be the intention of Prince E. Let's wait for some time."
"Prime Minister Pang, why do you say that?"
"Everyone, the chaos at the post station happened in a hurry. Prince E decided it. I would like to ask you, Chun Zhi, how many people in the court dealt with it. How many of them dare to compare with Prince E?"
"What the officials are discussing now, Chun Zhi believes, is not the intention of Prince E. There will be changes later."
Pang Ji had heard about Zhao Xi's intelligence a long time ago. He originally thought that it was just trivial things, whether it was fun or poetry, and was not worthy of being judged as a talent for an eternal emperor.
Now, due to the chaos at the post station, Pang Ji became more and more interested in Prince E.
Zishantang’s ethnic studies have really become a mess now. Zhengshitang has always treated clan members as livestock, so how could they be so devoted to sending professors there?
Sun Fu and Sun Mingfu seem to have stopped coming to teach these days because of their friends' involvement, waiting for the court to deal with them.
Zhao Xi was not interested in his clan's fun. The key was that no one played with him and he didn't dare to play with him. When he came back from the inn, the clan's clan members were like mice and cats when they saw him. They were all respectful and even spoke loudly.
Neither dared.
Therefore, now that he goes to school, it is more like running and exercising, and he will come back when he is fine. Instead of listening to those gossips in Zishantang, it is better to go back to Ciming Palace to study by himself.
Unexpectedly, I saw my father just after I came back. I felt very happy... but my mother was a little worried.
"Father, mother-in-law..."
"Xi'er, dad is talking to your mother. Today, dad proposed in the court that when Xi'er becomes the heir apparent, the six-rate system should be restored."
Before Zhao Xi could say hello, Zhao Zhen intercepted...
This... Dad, are you sure you don't have a fever? Are you kidding me? Decades of practice, the gentle change of four generations of emperors, have made the court officials think that six rates are quite appropriate without this trouble. Now you mention this, this
Aren't you looking for a squirt?
"Dad, the court..."
"There has been a quarrel in the court, but the princes must come to a conclusion on this matter."
It turns out that dad had this idea... But, isn't it better to owe this favor than to repay it? A six-year-old, a scholar... Alas!
Is it really good to be so tight on debt collection? Although the emperor and his ministers are not good enough to wear the same pair of pants, there is a relationship of checks and balances, but there is no need to be so clear-cut, right?
Zhao Xi looked at the empress again...what do you mean? Are you not letting me explain clearly?
It should be so. It is rare for my father to consciously do something proud, which can make the husband a little troubled, and this is the time to be proud.
If I really pour cold water on my father...forget it, my father finally feels that he can control my husband's pride for once, and let him be proud for a while longer.
