Happy Little Scholar

After Lord Xu spoke, Emperor Jing nodded and looked to the other side: "Mr. Wei?"

A middle-aged man came out and bowed and said: "I congratulate your majesty!"

This is a secretary of the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the review and rejection of the emperor's edicts. It has the power to return the emperor's edicts and reject the ministers' memorials. Among the four secretaries of the Ministry of Personnel, this Lord Wei is currently the most valued by your majesty.

Emperor Jing's eyes turned again: "Mr. Yang?"

A Zhongshu Sheren who has been highly valued recently stood up and said loudly: "I congratulate your majesty!"

Emperor Jing looked to the front.

Prime Minister Shen raised his head, smiled, and said: "Your majesty is wise!"

The originally noisy court gradually became quiet as several senior officials spoke one after another.

Something is wrong, it's too wrong!

The few people His Majesty just named were all important officials with great say in the court. They had no personal relationship with the Marquis of Li County. Yesterday in the court, they did not agree with His Majesty's reward to Marquis of Li County. However, today------what happened to them?

The court officials who were originally opposed to this matter and planned to wait and see immediately put an end to a certain idea.

There must be something inside to make these officials in the court change their minds!

And the more than ten people who had just spoken sharply and strongly opposed this matter stood there in a daze. At this moment, they finally felt a certain emotion called loneliness and solitude.

At this time, Emperor Jing looked down and spoke again: "Where is Qin Qing?"

The more than ten people were shocked when they heard this, and their eyes looked in a certain direction at the same time.

Yes, Prime Minister Qin, they still have Prime Minister Qin, no matter what, Prime Minister Qin is on their side!

At this moment, they no longer asked His Majesty to change his decision, but only asked for a leader to be their backer and help them bear the pressure from the other ministers...

The expression on Qin Xiang's face was a little dazed. After leaving the palace yesterday, he went directly back to the mansion, thinking over and over again in his mind what Li Yi said. He had not seen a guest and had not slept all night...

Until this morning, some of the ideas about state affairs that were very vague in his mind before were clear enough to appear on paper.

He raised his head and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"Your Majesty------wise!"

More than ten people in the back looked at him in a daze, and there seemed to be thunder in their minds.

Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang..., what are you talking about?

Chang'an County Marquis Li Yi and His Royal Highness the King of Shu are like water and fire. They will stop anything that is beneficial to him in the court. Isn't Qin Xiang's words a traitor?

They began to see things unclearly.

…

The two prime ministers and several powerful ministers in the court spoke in unison, finally setting the tone for the matter, and there was no more opposition in the court.

The attitudes of these ministers, including Prime Minister Qin, naturally made everyone suspicious, but at this moment, it was difficult to ask.

As for other people, they had more than just doubts in their hearts.

The change in the attitudes of several ministers and Prime Minister Qin's position made them the clowns in the court today. In addition to the collapse of their outlook on life and the world, they also began to gradually reflect on the position they stood on...

The youngest Jinzi Guanglu Doctor since the founding of the country, the most favored minister of His Majesty, at least, when this country was still in His Majesty's control, being an enemy of him was tantamount to humiliating oneself.

When that time comes, he will not have a good end for almost making enemies in the court.

Ministers who are favored by the emperor have never had a good end.

However, they soon discovered that they had waited for this day in less than a few years, months, days, or even hours.

After conferring the title of Jinzi Guanglu Doctor to Li Yi, His Majesty announced something.

His Majesty will stop attending the morning court indefinitely because of his illness and need to rest. He will move to Furong Garden Palace. The affairs of the court will still be led by the two prime ministers. At this time, His Majesty did not recall the King of Shu to Kyoto. Above the two prime ministers, it was not a prince but the eldest princess who decided the important affairs of the court.

This is really unreasonable.

The eldest princess often participates in the court affairs on weekdays, such as promoting the new marriage law, establishing a women's college, and the academy a few days ago. In fact, these things were still incredible to them a year ago.

The harem cannot interfere in politics, even the eldest princess cannot. This is the ancestral system.

However, too many things happened in Kyoto during this year, and their ideas and concepts have also changed accordingly. Looking back now, I don’t quite understand how the eldest princess has come to this point step by step.

This seems impossible, but it is already a fact.

And now, she has taken another big step forward.

This is a regent, a princess regent, unprecedented, extremely absurd!

No one in the court has spoken yet, because they are waiting for others to speak.

Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Shen, and many other senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries will not agree, they will not watch such an absurd thing happen, it is not decent at all!

However, the facts surprised them again.

The imagined scene of the ministers collectively dying to remonstrate did not happen, and even the censors were collectively silent, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding before the morning court.

Regarding this matter, only a few officials spoke, and it seemed that they did not expect that the court would be in such a situation. They spoke very tactfully and then retreated to their positions.

Another major initiative that has never been seen since the founding of the country was born in the hands of His Majesty.

Some officials who thought they had waited for spring found in despair that this winter seemed to be colder than ever before.

His Majesty was at most kind to Li Xianhou. As a monarch, a wise monarch, he had the most basic bottom line.

However, the eldest princess------who in the whole court didn't know the relationship between Li Xianhou and the eldest princess?

The two met when they were in Qing'an Prefecture. The punishment that day was created by Li Xianhou, but it was presented to His Majesty by His Royal Highness the Princess. It is said that when His Royal Highness the Princess concealed her identity and worked as a head of the Qing'an Prefecture, Li Xianhou was the county lieutenant. What unknown things are there between this male boss and female subordinate? Who knows?

Moreover, after arriving in Kyoto, the relationship between the two was obvious to all. As the three great men of Kyoto, the officials often saw them together when they went to and from the court. After the establishment of the college, the women's college was established. The two colleges were adjacent to each other, and the two were both the heads of one college...

To put it in an inappropriate way, Li Xianhou and the eldest princess are simply wearing the same pants!

Thinking about these things in their hearts, some officials felt that the sunny day outside had become gray when they walked out of the hall.

Fortunately, the eldest princess was only acting as the governor of the court. If His Majesty had appointed another prince, they would have been suspicious and frightened in their hearts. However, the princess was a princess after all. No matter how outstanding she was, no matter how much His Majesty valued her, she was just a woman. As long as she was a woman, she would never threaten that position.

Even from the beginning to the end, they had never thought about that matter.

At this time, as the officials walked out of the hall, some gossip finally came out from some people.

It is said that after the court session yesterday, when His Majesty, the two prime ministers, and several important officials in the court were discussing state affairs in the Imperial Garden, Li County Marquis and the Princess were also present. At that time, in the affairs of the court, both of them showed talents that made His Majesty and several ministers admire, shock, and even convinced.

Lord Xu just said that he was a great man of his generation and a pillar of the country, and that was the reason.

And the reason why Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Shen, and other adults did not object was probably the same.

Lord Xu and Prime Minister Qin are both elders of the court, with decades of political experience, and people who can shock and convince them...

Everyone couldn't help but wonder again in their hearts, could it be that Li County Marquis really has the talent to govern the country and the way to govern the country as the imperial edict said?

Thinking of what happened in the court just now, they no longer doubted this matter.

After all, the attitudes of the two prime ministers and those ministers could not change so quickly, and His Majesty had no reason to suddenly announce that the eldest princess would temporarily take charge of the government. The only explanation was that they really were as the gossip said, and their views and methods on state affairs convinced the people present, making His Majesty completely relieved and planning to let go temporarily...

Therefore, the ministers in the court, including the two prime ministers, did not disobey His Majesty's decision at all.

Thinking of the age of the two, I don't know how many people sighed on the way out of the court.

A pair of monsters!

Serving in the same court, it is inevitable to compare with each other, but the result------really makes people despair!
