Happy Little Scholar

When the previous emperor was in power, he was diligent in government affairs. Except for serious illness or special circumstances, morning courts were rarely interrupted for decades.

Although the current emperor is far from being as diligent in government affairs as the previous emperor, the morning courts are still held every day, but the person who presides over the morning courts has changed to the eldest princess.

For this, the civil and military officials have long formed a habit. It is not strange not to see the emperor in the morning court, but to see the emperor.

Therefore, when they stood neatly in the court and saw the princess and the emperor coming out from both sides, they were a little surprised.

Today is not the first day of the month, nor is it a special day. It is rare for the emperor to attend the court.

As for whether the emperor has repented of his previous laziness, it is not something that these ministers can guess. After a little surprise, the morning court is still held as usual.

An official of the Academy of Sciences reported in detail the recent research progress of the Academy of Sciences; the Minister of Rites advised His Majesty to expand the harem to stabilize the foundation of the country; an experienced censor bluntly said that the position of prime minister cannot be vacant. Now that Prime Minister Qin has retired, the new prime minister must be determined as soon as possible...

The emperor highly affirmed the research of the Academy of Sciences and ignored the words of the Minister of Rites. Then he looked at the ministers and slowly said: "I have a candidate in my mind for the position of prime minister. You don't need to say more."

Many people in the court heard this and felt bitter. The reason why they had to say more was because His Majesty had a candidate in his mind...

The candidate in his mind was really not suitable for the position of prime minister...

Li Xuan looked at the eunuch beside him and said slowly: "Announce the decree."

"As ordered."

The eunuch nodded respectfully, took out an imperial edict, walked forward, and glanced at the officials below.

It was this glance that made everyone feel a bad premonition.

At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice came from above.

"Zhao said..."

Just hearing the two words "Zhao said", countless people's hearts sank.

The wording of the imperial edict is exquisite, and the content is different and the wording is different. There are mainly three types: "Zhao said", "Zhi said", and "Chi said".

"Chi said" has the meaning of warning in addition to rewarding, "Zhi said" is used to announce the officials and express the emperor's grace, as for "Zhao said", it means to announce to the world, and it is not used for non-important events.

Your Majesty used "Zhao said" to appoint the prince and confer titles on the princess.

The important thing is that the title of prime minister - "Zhao said" is not used.

"Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County, is a man of natural wisdom and intelligence, and has made remarkable achievements. Since the beginning of Jinghe, he has created heavenly punishment, presented horseshoes, changed torture, repelled enemy envoys, opened mathematics, and stopped floods..."

The eunuch was still reading loudly, and the ears of the officials in the hall were buzzing.

Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang'an County..., as expected, as expected!

As expected, His Majesty still did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on his own way, wanting to confer the title of Li County Marquis as prime minister. This would be the youngest prime minister in the history of Jing State, and the laziest prime minister.

At that moment, several imperial censors and old ministers changed their expressions and stood out from the crowd. They could not interrupt before the imperial edict was finished, otherwise it would be a serious crime, but at this moment, everyone could see the determination on their faces.

"Clearing the termites, sweeping away the treacherous, and promoting reforms..., his merits are very great, and he is conferred the title of King Jing to show the grace of heaven, pass it on forever, and serve Xiuzhen, respect it!"

The eunuch's voice was still echoing in the hall, and someone in the hall finally relaxed.

Not prime minister...

It turned out that he was just conferred the title of King Jing, not prime minister. It seems that His Majesty is still, still...

Jing..., King Jing?

One-word King!

"Jing" is the name of the Kingdom of Jing. King Jing has always been the most respected prince. Since decades ago, the royal family has no longer established King Jing. Now, His Majesty actually gave this title to a person of a different surname - a person who is not a royal family!

This is simply absurd!

It's ridiculous!

Li Mingzhu looked at Li Xuan, who was solemn, and moved his lips, but finally said nothing.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"It is against the ancestral system to confer the title of king on a foreign minister. Your Majesty, think twice!"

...

The court had already exploded, and countless ministers knelt on the spot and said loudly.

"I have made up my mind!" Li Xuan waved his hand and walked out from the side.

An eunuch shouted loudly: "Dismiss the court!"

"Prime Minister Shen, please say something!"

"Lord Wang, His Majesty cannot be allowed to act on his own in this matter!"

"Lord Yang, please go see the Queen Mother, His Majesty cannot be allowed to act so recklessly!"

"Princess, Your Highness, please persuade His Majesty again!"

...

After the ministers stood up, they immediately placed their last hope on several important officials of the court.

The head of the Wang family sighed. He knew why His Majesty did this, so he also knew that His Majesty could not withdraw this edict.

An old man shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is different from the late emperor. At this time, no one can speak to help..."

Prime Minister Shen looked outside the palace with a turbid gaze and murmured, "No, there is another person. His Majesty will definitely listen to what he says."

The harem, a palace somewhere.

Wang Qin brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Xuan, saying 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, do you think he can understand me doing this?"

Wang Qin sighed, but she could only sigh. There were some things that she could not explain to him even if she saw them clearly.

He was worried that Li Xianhou would think too much because of the rumors outside, but he didn't know that the more he did so, the worse his situation would be...

...

Today, not only the court was in an uproar, but even the people were boiling in a very short time.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Li Xianhou's power 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 the capital are speculating that it will not be long before His Majesty will start to suspect him, and the decline of the Li family is a foregone conclusion...

Who would have thought that after such a short time, their Majesty would slap all of them in the face.

King Jing, a one-word king...

Foreign ministers were crowned kings. Since the founding of the country, no foreign minister has ever received such an honor.

Although Li Xianhou's achievements were great and no one in the court could match him, he did not have the merit of expanding the territory. If he led the army to destroy Qi or Zhao, it would be understandable to make him a prince, but now - he is too young after all, and this emperor's favor is a bit too much...

The king was made a king just like that. His Majesty has directly expressed his attitude. From now on, who in the whole capital dares to mess with the Li family?

Li family.

The head of the family was made a king, which was a great honor, and the whole mansion was jubilant.

Li Yicai sent the worried old lady away, sat back in the yard, rubbed his swollen head, and the princess walked in from outside.

He sighed and said, "We agreed to let you stop him?"

Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "You know, no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do."

"Why do you want to stop me?" Li Xuan came out from the back and said, "You have done so much for Jingguo and the world, what does a mere kingship mean?"

"Have you ever counted how many foreign ministers have been crowned kings since the founding of Jingguo?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "Don't you care what the court officials think, what the people think?"

"I don't care what they think." Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously, "I only care about what you think."
