Unparalleled Concubine

Vol 2 Chapter 866: teach you to be king

   Chapter 866 Teach you to be an emperor

This time, because of Shangshutai, Li Xin single-handedly pushed the political situation to such a height, but the final decision is in the hands of Emperor Yuan Zhao, who has not yet been in power. No matter what the young emperor said, There was no way for either side to speak up.

   Even Li Xin could not refute the emperor face to face.

   Therefore, when Emperor Yuan Zhao gave such a "handling opinion", the matter was almost settled, and neither party could achieve what they wanted, nor did they lose everything.

   On Li Xin's side, after the Son of Heaven, as a student, said that, no matter how upset he was, he could only keep his mouth shut.

As for the side of the four ministers, this time he did not retreat completely. The emperor has already made it clear that the government and the Shangshutai should be held responsible for this matter, so the Shangshutai will probably send one or two people to retire and return to their hometowns. This is the end of it.

   Among them, the most likely one is Zhongshu Ling Gongyangshu, or right servant Zhao Mingzhou. Gongyangshu has reached the age of retirement, and Zhao Mingzhou is also the chief official of Shangshutai. Both of them may come out and take responsibility for this matter.

   It can't be said that both sides are hurt, only that Li Xin failed to get his wish, and the fourth auxiliary minister's vitality was greatly damaged.

  The court discussion ended with the words of the emperor Yuanzhao. Shang Shutai and the governor's office had to discuss a specific charter together. After they bowed their hands to the emperor, they bowed and said goodbye.

   When Li Xin was about to leave, Emperor Yuan Zhao said, "Teacher stay, the students still have things to discuss with the teacher."

  Li Xin hesitated for a while, then stopped at Weiyang Palace.

  In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Yuan Zhao asked the palace servants to set a table of wine and dishes. The master and the apprentice sat across the table, and the Emperor himself stretched out his hand and filled Li Xin with a glass of wine.

This scene has also appeared before. When Emperor Taikang first ascended the throne, he often invited Li Xin to the Weiyang Palace to drink. liquor.

   Now things are different, and the little emperor in front of him vaguely looks like his father.

   After the two sat down, Li Xin deliberately looked up and saw that the Empress Dowager behind the curtain had disappeared.

Emperor Yuan Zhao saluted Li Xin with a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, then looked up anxiously, and said: "Today's matter is not that the students are going to oppose the teacher, it is really that the students are too young to take the throne, and it is not good to be direct. Pro-government, and now the court is in the hands of several ministers and Zaifu, even if you want to transition power, you have to cooperate with them, otherwise it will be easy to mess up the court..."

  The Marquis of Jing An drank a glass of wine and smiled.

   "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and whatever decision you make is right, there is no need to explain it to me as a courtier."

   Seeing Li Xin drinking, the emperor bent down again and gave Li Xin full.

   He opened his mouth and hesitated.

   "Teacher thinks, what I'm doing today...is it appropriate?"

  Although he has been on the throne for several months, this is the first time he has made a serious decision to affect the court situation. At this time, he is still somewhat uneasy, for fear that he has done something wrong.

  Li Xin raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, his face was calm: "Your Majesty wants to hear the truth?"

   Emperor Yuanzhao looked earnest.

   "Naturally I want to hear the truth, please ask the teacher for advice."

Li Xin also stretched out his hand to help Emperor Yuanzhao fill the wine glass in front of him, he said lightly: "If it is an ordinary monarch and minister, the minister must now flatter a few words and flatter His Majesty, but His Majesty is a minister watching the elders. If you are big, this minister will tell His Majesty a few truths."

   After pouring the wine, he put his hands on his knees and said slowly, "To be honest, what Your Majesty is doing today is not very smart."

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

"I can understand that your majesty has learned the so-called emperor's mind, and he needs to seek balance in the court, so he has to suppress both sides. If your majesty's practice today, if you change it to the emperor, there will be no problem at all, but your majesty is too old at this time. small."

  Li Xin looked at the Son of Heaven quietly.

"Today, Your Majesty seems to have no offense on both sides, but in fact, both sides have offended. If you want me to say that Your Majesty should support the side of the four auxiliary ministers and put this matter on hold, the fourth auxiliary minister will not say that he is grateful to His Majesty, at least it will be even more. Do your best, Your Majesty will learn from them at the Shangshu Terrace, and they will teach His Majesty to handle political affairs, and they will be more attentive."

Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued, "Either Your Majesty will support the minister's side, so that His Majesty can take charge of the government today, not to mention dismissing the four assistant ministers, at least abolish their positions as assistant ministers. "

   "As for the issues that your Majesty is worried about, it's not a problem at all."

  The Marquis of Jing An took another sip of wine.

"Although Your Majesty is young, it is not too young. The affairs in the courtroom are not as complicated as His Majesty thought. It is nothing more than nodding and shaking his head. Even if not, His Majesty still has time to learn slowly, as long as you are careful, nothing will happen. event."

   "But Your Majesty didn't do this. One sentence was too young to reject the minister, and one sentence offended the four ministers in advance by pro-government. Both sides are not flattering."

   After saying that, Lord Jingan laughed.

   "But it's understandable. Your Majesty is really young. It's not easy to make such a decision. You can learn some details later."

Emperor Yuan Zhao was originally very satisfied with his performance today. He thought that he could break through this difficult situation with a few words, and let several assistant ministers and Li Xin retreat at the same time, but Li Xin fluttered with a few words. , said that his face was flushed, and he lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

   "What the teacher said is, I... think too little."

  The Marquis of Jingan smiled indifferently.

   "Your Majesty is still young, it doesn't matter if you make any mistakes, but since the minister has carried the false name of an imperial teacher, he will shamelessly teach His Majesty some superficial truths."

   Emperor Yuanzhao got up from the low table and held a disciple salute to Li Xin with his hands down.

   "Please teach me your teacher."

  Li Xin hesitated for a while, but did not stand up in the end.

He is the teacher who kowtowed to the emperor of Yuanzhao, and he also received the Ji family's repair. According to the rules of this era, he is half the father of the little emperor, and there are no outsiders here. of.

   "Too much to say is too wrong."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is high above the ground. As long as His Majesty doesn't speak, and keeps a secret expression, no one can know what His Majesty is thinking. They may feel that His Majesty has seen through everything. When you do things in secret, you will be more trembling.”

   As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to express one's position easily, or to show the ministers the bottom line.

   As soon as he opened his mouth, he lost the mystery of the "Son of Heaven".

   Take today's situation as an example, as soon as Emperor Yuan Zhao opens his mouth, people will know him, but that's all.

  The emperor had a solemn face and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

   "Disciple, I have been taught."
