But everyone obviously underestimated the power of the Zhao family.

In other words, Zhao Jin, who underestimated Zhao Jin and hibernated in Lin'an, has done a lot of things under the eyes of the empress over the years.

A few days later, from the local officials to the courtiers, there were only 100 folds handed over.

There is only one meaning: please crown Li Ruyu as king.

That's it, after all, people in officialdom are easy to be driven by interests, and the benefits they need, the Zhao family can promise them anything, and anyone will do it.

What is really shocking is the excerpt from the garrison.

The forbidden army is under the command of envoys and below, and almost all the middle and high-level generals have jointly signed a letter to Chen Shu, asking Li Ruyu to be crowned king.

Beiban came with an excerpt, and the weight was the heaviest.

also only said one thing: please seal for Li Ruyu.

The meaning of this excerpt is too important, because this is Yue Dan's excerpt, and he is folding this matter at this moment, representing his position: supporting the Zhao family.

After all, Zhao Jin is still in Beiban at the moment.

The Zhao family, which was supported by Yue Dan, completely took the initiative, and was not even afraid of the rebellion of the Iron Spine Army controlled by Li Ruyu.

If it's a villain, you'll be surrounded.

The forbidden army and the Zhenbei army will attack from the north and south, and at that time, even if Baili Chunxiang is alive, or the soldiers and immortals of the Dingding Northern and Southern War appear, it will not change the situation of the Iron Spine Army embattled.

Defeat!

Yue Dan's fold was like the last straw that overwhelmed the scales, almost overnight, the entire Lin'an court, except for the cardinal prime minister and Wang Zhushu who remained silent, Wei Xi and Ning Que still insisted on opposing it, but all the courtiers who spoke with a little weight in the court agreed to crown Li Ruyu as the king.

Among them, there are two insignificant voices in opposition.

Fan Xian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Huaisu, a mad Confucian who had just been transferred from the local government to the center of the court and served as a counselor.

However, in the midst of the huge noise, the opposition of the two was extremely small.

Trend.

Even though Li Ruyu repeatedly refused, even though Ning Que and Wei Xi opposed it, the ministers agreed, Zhao Sa and Zhou Miaoshu pushed forward single-handedly, and the move of sealing the king was imperative.

The discussion among the ministers is no longer about whether to seal the king or not.

but what kind of king is sealed, and where is the domain?

Some courtiers in the central department saw the opportunity, and some people in the Privy Council also smelled the power, once Li Ruyu was crowned king, there would be a vacancy in the left scattered cavalry.

Even if Wei Xi fills the vacancy, then there will be a vacancy in the right scattered cavalry.

There is a high probability that Li Ruyuquan's fellow Privy Council member will be filled by Wang Zhushu, so Wang Zhushu's post of signing the Privy Council will be promoted directly from the senior generals of the local garrison or directly from the Privy Council according to the usual practice.

Driven by the general trend of all parties, Li Ruyu had no choice but to accept it.

Before that, the young emperor decreed to advertise the world, changed the era name, and the new era name was Yuanxin.

Of course, this is what Zhao Jin and Zhao Sa mean.

The name of the year is new, but the real meaning is that from this year, this is a new era for the Zhao family, and the era when the empress ruled Daliang is gone.

After that, it was the will to make Li Ruyu king.

Tell the world.

Li Ruyu was crowned king, and the courtyard under the mountain was promoted to the palace.

Titled King of Chu.

Chuzhou, a feudal domain.

That's kind of interesting.

Chuzhou Binhai, from Lin'an to Suzhou, Suzhou to Yangzhou, Yangzhou to Chuzhou, just in the middle of Kaifeng and Lin'an, and also happens to be the boundary controlled by the forbidden army.

After being crowned king, it was natural to discuss the issue of vassals.

The Zhao family didn't want to give Li Ruyu a chance to fight back - although they didn't understand it, Li Ruyu was always submissive in the court, knowing that he wanted to empty him, but he still chose to accept it.

But that's the plan, Li Ruyu doesn't fight back, that's the best.

However, to the surprise of the Zhao family, on the second day after the crown, Li Ruyu raised the question of when to become a vassal in the court.

It was a big surprise to everyone.

Why is that?

Except for Xie Lang who understood, even the Prime Minister was inexplicable.

Did Li Ruyu give up on his own initiative?

Doesn't he know that even if he gives up, the Zhao family will never tolerate him being an idle prince, after all, the Daliang Iron Spine Army controlled by Kaifeng Xu Xiao and Junzi Qi really belongs to Li Ruyu.

This is something that the Great Liang Zhao Room cannot tolerate.

Li Ruyu must die.

Although I don't know what medicine is sold in Li Ruyu's gourd, since he took the initiative to propose, Zhao Sa and Zhou Miaoshu also took advantage of the situation and proposed to do it within half a year.

After all, it will take some time to build the Chu Wangfu in Chuzhou.

Li Ruyu smiled, but said that one month was enough.

This made Zhou Miaoshu and Zhao Sazhang two monks confused, you Li Ruyu is so anxious to leave Lin'an, there is a trap for Mo Mo.

A few days later, when Zhao Sa and Zhou Miaoshu of Lin'an received a spy report from Kaifeng that the Iron Spine Army had not moved, and Zhao Jin had begun to return to China on the Beiban side, they met at the court meeting and set the date when Li Ruyu would become a vassal.

After January.

In a few days, Li Ruyu will take up the domain, so he will naturally hand over the two positions of Zuo Sancai Chang and Tongzhi Privy Council, and he will not be able to take these two important positions in the domain.

Li Ruyu was also refreshed, and directly resigned from these two.

But for the post of the envoy of the Beizhen Fusi, although Zhou Miaoshu proposed it, Li Ruyu insisted, but used a sentence Although he is the king of Chu, he also needs the embroidered spring knife of the Beizhen Fusi to deter the strangers in the domain.

Zhou Miaoshu didn't insist.

is just a pacification envoy of the North Town Fusi, and in the eyes of the right minister, there is a difference between the official position of a prefect?

After the dispersal of the court, Li Ruyu said a few words to the cardinal minister, saying that he would go to the Privy Council in the afternoon to hand over the post of Tongzhi Privy Council, and now he would first go to hand over the government affairs of the Zuo Sanqi Chang Shi with Wei Xi.

The cardinal minister just sighed, and the son wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop.

Blindly retreat, the world is blessed.

And you, Li Ruyu, have to face a state of no return.

Li Ruyu smiled and said noncommittally, why don't you think that the prince thinks that it seems to be empty, but it can also be a dragon into the deep sea.

The Iron Spine Army is in hand, is he in Lin'an or Chuzhou, does it have an impact?

No!

Prime Minister Gong's eyes lit up, he figured out something, and couldn't help sighing, "There are talented people in the country." ”

Career means, this Li Ruyu seems to be more above himself.

With the power of the Zhao family, it seems that he is being calculated step by step, but in fact, he is afraid that Li Ruyu is also thinking about it.

As long as the Iron Ridge Army is still surnamed Li, Lin'an's political affairs have no impact on Li Ruyu at all.

The Iron Spine Army in Kaifeng, once it really tears its face with Lin'an, is fully qualified and capable of financial autonomy, after all, the Iron Spine Army controls the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures north of Kaifeng.

Even the fertile land from Shouzhou to Kaifeng, the Iron Spine Army can also swallow it.

Of course, it is still not as good as Jiangnan.

After separating from the cardinal minister, in the corner where no one was around, Fan Xian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came up and said with a smile: "The prince is about to become a vassal, and it will be difficult to meet in the future, so it is better to leave a few more ink treasures for the lower officials, so as to comfort the lower officials' hearts for the sake of the upper ranks." ”

Li Ruyu was speechless, "Didn't you already write two paintings for Fan Shilang?" ”

Fan Xian waved his hand, "How can two pieces be enough." ”

Li Ruyu coughed, "If you have more, it's worthless, Fan Shilang won't not understand this truth." ”

Fan Xian was not embarrassed by the intention at all, but stretched out his hand and raised his thumb: "The prince's hand is borrowed from strength, the end is beautiful, from now on it will be the dragon of the sea, no one can be trapped, free and comfortable, without losing the momentum, extremely wonderful, behind the prince, is there a temple master who is instructing?" Xie Lang Xie Shenzhi should not have this vision. ”

This seems to be a compliment, but in fact it is also a pride.

In Fan Xian's eyes, it seems that his vision is even higher than that of Xie Lang, the governor of the government.

Li Ruyu was indeed a little surprised.

Fan Xian actually knew that this person's political sense was really a little keen, and said with a smile: "How can Fan Shilang say so wonderful, it's just that he wants to stay away from the land of right and wrong." ”

Fan Xian smiled, with a tacit demeanor, someone came from afar, and this scholar, who was likely to fill the vacancy and become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said softly, if he returns one day, he should be floating, but he is afraid that he will not be qualified.

When he returns to Lin'an, I am afraid that Li Ruyu will no longer be the prince.

Li Ruyu smiled, "When can't you drink?" ”

However, people's hearts are separated from their bellies.

Even if Fan Xian showed goodwill, he had to guard against it, and he would see people's hearts for a long time.

Hopefully he's sincere.
