After the emperor's heir left the palace to supervise the country, the Guanfeng Hall in Shangyang Palace became a temporary court meeting place, and the ministers entered here to see the emperor's heir and discuss state affairs.

After the coup d'état, Li Tong was busy rectifying military affairs, and even if he accepted the canonization a few days ago, he also accepted the canonization in the Western Dynasty Hall in the imperial city, so he had not participated in a court meeting of the Guanfeng Palace.

However, at present, the military affairs around Shendu City have been sorted out, and the time is calculated, if there will be any changes in the army led by Xue Huaiyi, the news should be transmitted back to Shendu in the near future, so he also has to enter the court to explain the current military preparations a little.

After all, the Guanfeng Hall court meeting was different from the normal court meeting, and the number of participants was not so large. Especially in the Wu and Zhou Dynasty, the worship officials who were greatly expanded were basically excluded from the court meeting, and those who could participate were basically the powerful figures of the Southern Province.

Moreover, since the emperor's heir is only a prisoner of the country at the moment, not a real emperor, the atmosphere of the court meeting is relatively relaxed and casual. It was more of a symposium than a court.

In the main hall, although the seat of the imperial heir Li Dan was arranged in the middle, it was placed on the horizontal steps in front of the imperial bed, and it was only a few feet away from the prime ministers of the previous class. In addition, there are vacant seats in the next ranks, which are reserved for the prime minister and senior ministers.

In general, the layout of the entire court is not particularly strict up and down. This is also in line with the current situation of the court, which is a temporary transitional pattern of monarchs and ministers.

When the ceremonial official called King Yong to the palace, the imperial heir Li Dan stood up directly on the seat and descended to greet him, and did not wait for Li Tong to enter the front to give a salute, so he pulled him to the hall while walking, and said with a smile: "King Yong ran inside and outside, Kuang helped Sheji, and set the situation for the country, which is really hard work, and you don't have to care about these vulgar rites." Hurry up and sit down, I and the princes of the court are also curious about how the current military preparations are, can we be thieves on the riverbank? ”

Li Tong didn't want to be too domineering, but when he saw that Li Zhaode and several others were also standing on the side of the horizontal seat in front of the steps, he no longer was formal, and followed the emperor's heir to ascend the ladder, and waited until the emperor's heir let go of his arm before retreating, bowed down and said: "Since the minister was ordered, he has sent military envoys from all walks of life to summon the soldiers of all provinces, and by now, more than 5,000 armor has gathered around the Shendu......

Li Tong had already reported the relevant information to the Ministry of War, but now that he repeats it again, the ministers in the palace still listened very carefully. After all, what we will face is the first major test after the coup d'état, and only after this test can the current situation be maintained.

Li Tong reported the military situation while looking at the current situation in the court.

Now that the situation has been decided, some patterns can also be seen. At present, the first person in the court is naturally Li Zhaode, the history of Fengge, and it is not Di Renjie, the local official, who is followed by Yang Jiaben, the prince of Guanguo.

Thanks to Princess Taiping's strong recommendation, Yang Jiaben is now the official general of the Left Guard, and he can be said to be the first person in the Southern Ya. If the size of military power can determine the volume, then the one who can talk to Li Tong at the moment is undoubtedly Yang Jiaben.

However, compared with Li Tong's current sole control of the Northern Ya and the entire military power of Dugi Province, even if he is the first person in the Southern Ya, it is actually like that.

Even if the imperial court recruits soldiers from other regions, it will not come too quickly, and Li Tong's position as the governor of Dugi Province is incomprehensible for a day, in principle, as long as the government soldiers who enter the territory of Dugi Province must be subject to his control.

Di Renjie, as a local official, ranks third in the current court situation. To be honest, this position is a bit awkward, not up or down.

If Di Renjie is in the phase with Luan Tai Nayan, at least he has the right to refute in his hands, and he can still break his wrist with Li Zhaode, but at the moment, he has no power to restrain Li Zhaode, and he can't even suppress the combination of Princess Taiping and Yang Jiaben.

Di Renjie is further down, is Yang Zaisi, the waiter of Luantai, and Yang Zaisi is also the only prime minister who can still keep his position after the coup. Because of the King Yong standing behind him, although the reputation is not high, the authority is not small.

If it weren't for Li Tong's diversification of investment, and then occupying several prime ministers' positions in a row, and fully supporting Yang Zaisi, Yang Zaisi would even be able to break his wrists with Li Zhaode.

Li Tong's faction currently occupies four prime minister positions in the court, namely Ouyang Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Yuanfang, the squire of Fengge, and Shi Zhenggao, the governor of Luozhou, plus a Yang Zaisi.

But even so, he can't be a monopoly in the court. First of all, Ouyang Tong specially ordered the ceremony and did not interfere in government affairs, and Zheng Gao only had the right to vote on major matters, and he also did not actually exercise the power of the prime minister.

Secondly, there are as many as ten prime ministers in the DPRK and China at present, Li Daoguang of Li Zhaode's faction, who served as the prime minister of the military department, and Cui Xuanwei of Di Renjie's side entered the political hall as the secretary of the court.

In addition, there are Shangshu Zuo Chengwei Juyuan and Zuo Sancai Chang Xue Ji, who also served as prime ministers respectively.

Seeing this ruling team, Li Tong didn't know how to evaluate it.

Now that the coup d'état has just ended, the imperial court has just sent envoys to Zhudao, before the prefectures and counties responded, the central government decree did not go out of Heluo, and the power of affairs had shrunk to an extreme.

Of course, Li Tong is not qualified to laugh at others, when it comes to occupying a seat, he is the most ferocious. Like Yang Zaisi and Zheng Gao, there was no need to stay in the political hall, but he was quite unreasonable to occupy the seat, so he couldn't blame others for doing the same.

Among the ten prime ministers, Li Tong alone held four seats, and Li Zhaode and Di Renjie each brought a younger brother. There are two left, Wei Juyuan, because Guan Long still has great potential, even if he dies a Doulu Qinwang, it is difficult to completely exclude Guan Long. Even during the Wu Zetian period, the court would leave a prime minister's seat for Guan Longxun's nobles, and he did not dare to completely isolate them.

As for this Xue Ji, it's a bit interesting, he is the person of the emperor's heir Li Dan. After the Heavenly Grant Revolution, the imperial heir was imprisoned in the Great Interior, and the ministers' worship was greatly restricted. But there is one person who is an exception, and that is Xue Ji.

This Xue Ji was born in the Xue family in Hedong, but he has little to do with Princess Taiping's ex-husband Xue Shao's family, he is Xue Yuanchao's nephew, who is both a great writer and a great calligrapher. does not have a strong desire for power, so he is also quite appreciated by Wu Zetian, and he is probably worried that Li Dan's secluded life is too boring, so Xue Ji is allowed to come and go to meet him, and he is a friend of Wenmo with the imperial heir Li Dan.

Seeing Xue Ji riding on the left to worship the prime minister, Li Tong also had to sigh that his fourth uncle was really pitiful, he had been imprisoned for so many years, and he was basically isolated from the world.

Xue Ji is a person, Li Tong doesn't have much contact, but he knows a lot, after all, he is also in the literary circle. It can be seen from Wu Zetian that he did not prevent Xue Ji from entering the emperor's heir, this person basically has no power and skill and scheming heart, but he has only held a step-by-step position, and he has not even held any government-type positions.

With such a thin resume, Li Dan has to recommend him as the prime minister, which is tantamount to putting a little white rabbit into a fox's nest, and he can't bare his teeth, let alone play any role as prime minister.

However, letting Xue Ji serve as the prime minister at least shows Li Dan's attitude, that is, he is not willing to be just a puppet, even if he uses people inappropriately, he must give power to his cronies. Xue Ji stayed in the political affairs hall, regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was a golden platform built by Li Dan to recruit talents.

Even an embarrassing position like Li Tong can recruit a group of talents for his use. Li Dan's position is undoubtedly much more positive, and since he has already expressed his attitude, he does not worry that no one is attached to the past.

What's more, although Li Zhaode and Di Renjie have their own private plans, the overall overall situation is still quite strong, so they are not worried that they will choose to completely empty the imperial heir in order to consolidate their respective powers.

However, even if they each have the heart to endure each other and serve the country, they may still make choices that go against the wishes of the emperor when faced with some special circumstances.

When Li Tong explained his military affairs and said that he would return to the front line on the south bank of the Yellow River and continue to reorganize the army, and recommended his second brother Li Shouli to serve as General Zuo Yulin to replace him in controlling the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, Li Dan had already nodded and agreed before several prime ministers spoke.

"The family and the country are in this autumn of crisis, and fortunately the Zong family has such courage and bravery, and the safety and danger are shared, which is of course! King Yong prepares for war with peace of mind, King Lu protects the peace of his family, and I regret that I am in Cebu, otherwise I will be a thief in armor and Erlang! ”

Although he has not been in prison for a long time, Li Dan is also trying to enter the role, and now he is no longer as helpless as when he just left the palace, and when he said this, he had a momentum that could not be refused.

People have different demands depending on their position. Perhaps in the eyes of some ministers, the Yongwang brothers are too powerful, and they will inevitably threaten the authority of the imperial heir in the long run.

But for Li Dan at the moment, having such a powerful nephew Yu Chao can also help him deter the Manchu Tiger and Wolf Ministers. Whether it is to drink water to quench his thirst, at least if Li Tong does not exist, Li Dan may be dissuaded by the courtiers if he wants to appoint his pen pal Xue Ji as the prime minister.

As Li Dan spoke, the matter was finalized. After all, even if they wanted to weaken the authority of King Yong, these old foxes in the court would not choose to rudely prevent King Lu from entering the Northern Ya at such a time.

After the military talks, Li Tong retreated to his seat.

As soon as he sat down here, Zhang Cambodia, who was the new Xian Taichung Cheng from the young eunuch of Shang Fang, got up and said: "The ministers and the priests belong to the temple and the priests are disobedient, and they are more likely to be chaotic......"

At the same time, Du Jingjian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also came out to play: "The minister recently pushed the case to trial, and was shocked to find that the counselor Wang Meichang was involved in Quyin, please temporarily take Wang Meichang's worship, and then confer the title of the United States after recovering his innocence!" ”

Hearing the voices of people one after another, Li Tong smiled. If he wants to engage Wang Meichang, he doesn't need to take action himself at all, he only needs to reveal his dislike of Wang Meichang a little, just with Wang Meichang's careful thinking, some people want to stand up and kill this evil trend, so that this so-called national lord can recognize that he is the oldest.
