Happy Little Scholar

Time moves forward two quarters of an hour.

After the dynasty was over, Emperor Jing did not go back to his palace directly. Instead, he habitually called the two prime ministers and several senior officials in the dynasty to go to the Imperial Garden.

In the past, if there was no final decision in the court, he would discuss it with these people in the imperial garden after the court and finally make a decision.

Except for a few matters, he has never been arbitrary in matters of state.

When he walked outside the palace, he paused and said to a eunuch behind him: "Go to Chenlu Palace and ask the eldest princess to come over."

Although Mingzhu is only a woman, he doesn't know when he started to treat her as the girl who only loved martial arts.

Some of his opinions on national affairs and political affairs often make his eyes shine, and even directly change his thoughts and decisions.

Especially in the past two years.

Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Shen and several important ministers naturally had no objections to this.

They were not qualified to raise objections. What the eldest princess had done in the past two years would put them to shame even if they were put together.

Just like what is sung in folk operas, women should not be inferior to men. It is not an exaggeration at all to use this word to describe the eldest princess.

In the imperial garden, Emperor Jing was sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion. Prime Minister Shen and Prime Minister Qin were old. Emperor Jing specially favored the two of them to sit together. As for the other ministers, they could only stand.

"I confer Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County, as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu. What do you think?"

When they were in the palace just now, these people actually did not speak. In their position, they would not take the initiative to speak out unless His Majesty's decision was extremely inappropriate.

Prime Minister Qin pondered for a moment and then said: "The young hero Li County Marquis has made countless contributions to our Jingguo. However, your Majesty's promotion of him to County Marquis is already a great favor. I think Li County Hou is still too young, and he does not understand state affairs and is not knowledgeable about politics, so he is not qualified to serve as the official Jin Ziguanglu... If your Majesty insists on doing this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of many ministers in the court. "

Even he did not dare to deny Li Yi's achievements. Just the punishment from heaven was enough to make his achievements greater than all the ministers in the court, not to mention that he turned the tide, defeated the envoys of Qi State, and later created Count the academy...

The Prime Minister of Qin was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he knew Li Yi's contribution to Jingguo one by one better than anyone else.

Your Majesty knighted him to the rank of County Marquis because of his unparalleled contribution to the establishment, which cannot be denied by anyone.

However, if he were to become the youngest Jin Ziguanglu doctor in the history of Jingguo on the basis of the title, it would be too much favor.

Those who have held this official position in the past dynasties are all veteran ministers with decades of political experience and high reputations. It is really not something that a young boy who does not understand government affairs can do.

Emperor Jing looked to one side, and several important ministers also spoke one after another.

Although several people did not take a negative attitude towards this matter, they did not agree with it.

They did not turn to Prime Minister Qin or have any grievances with the Marquis of Li County, but they felt that this matter was inappropriate from the bottom of their hearts. The reason was the same as what Prime Minister Qin said, which one was very important to the court. The official position cannot be given to a boy who does not understand state affairs.

This can be seen from his speech in the temple just now.

Prime Minister Shen, who was silent at first, finally spoke when Emperor Jing looked over, "I think that... Your Majesty should think twice about this matter."

This means that no one agrees with him. Emperor Jing did not show any expression of dissatisfaction on his face. Before that, he had already guessed the performance of the officials.

After all, Li Yi is still too young.

However, even if he really does not understand government affairs, as long as he is in the court, he can solve problems that cannot be solved by the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty. His achievements are far more than these, but he will not be an official with real power, except for There was nothing he could give the other party.

Seeing Mingzhu who had been standing next to him for a while, Emperor Jing waved his hand and stopped mentioning that matter. He said, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Regarding the floods in the south..."

Qin Xiang lowered his head slightly and sighed in his heart.

The meaning of shelving for the time being was that it could not be changed. After all, he still underestimated the status of Li County Marquis in His Majesty's heart.

How could the King of Shu establish such a powerful enemy for nothing?

Regarding the flood in the south, after listening to the remarks of many officials in the court just now, several people had some thoughts in their minds. Li Mingzhu recorded everything they said. Not long after, a palace guard came in from outside.

Chang De stood outside the pavilion, stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard said: "The Marquis of County Li is outside, asking to see the eldest princess."

Before Chang De could speak, a voice came from behind him.

Emperor Jing raised his head, with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "Let him come in."

…

"My father has given you the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu. Of course he has his reasons. Don't talk nonsense..."

Li Yi looked at the eldest princess with some surprise.

The two of them talked on weekdays, and occasionally complained, but it was nothing to this extent at the moment. He shook his head and said: "What nonsense? This position is originally for those veterans who have become officials, how can they be granted casually... …”

Li Mingzhu looked at him, his eyes glancing in a certain direction intentionally or unintentionally.

Behind the thick bushes, an official frowned slightly and was about to raise his feet. Emperor Jing waved his hand, a hint of joking appeared on his face, and the official immediately lowered his head and stood quietly behind him.

"This is really inappropriate. I have to talk to His Majesty. I am at most a little smart, but I really don't understand state governance." Li Yi saw her eyes looking at him and then at the side, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your eyes? Is there sand in them? Do you want me to blow them out for you?"

Li Mingzhu coughed lightly, lowered her head slightly, and said, "It's okay."

Seeing that she was really fine, Li Yi asked about the business, "How is the progress of the academy?"

"Everything is going according to plan, everything is going well..."

...

Behind the bushes, several ministers, including Prime Minister Qin, showed shock on their faces.

Listening to the conversation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Li Xianhou, the academy incident that made a lot of noise in Kyoto a few days ago was not the work of the eldest princess, but someone else behind it?

That conspiracy that made countless aristocratic families complain, but could not follow it, was from his hand?

Thinking about the account check, he seemed to have used the same method to almost wipe out the power of Cui and the King of Shu. Several people were relieved at the same time------relieved that they were not his enemies.

No, just now several people opposed His Majesty's reward to him. Will he hold a grudge for this...

Li Yi had no idea that someone behind the tree had already had wild thoughts. After learning about the progress of the academy, he was relieved. He accidentally glanced at the messy papers on the table, read them carefully, and said in surprise: "This is..., are you thinking about how to control the water?"

Li Mingzhu didn't know what his father meant, nor did he know when Li Yi would leave. He nodded absent-mindedly, "I didn't know about it before, and I don't know much about water control...."

The eldest princess finally turned back into the active and motivated eldest princess. Li Yi was very relieved in his heart, waved his hand, and said: "No one is born knowing it. If you don't understand, I will teach you!"

Behind the tree, the expression on Emperor Jing's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
