Chapter 182: The Great Seal of the East Palace
Although Li Shimin left, the banquet was not over, and Li Chengqian naturally became the host of the banquet.
It's just that there is no more relaxed atmosphere on the platform of the Jiade Palace, except for a few old ministers such as Li Jing and Gao Shilian, all the princes and county kings looked at Li Chengqian's eyes with a little flattery and fear.
This fear is not because Li Chengqian is the crown prince, but because Li Shimin made clear his attitude towards Li Chengqian and all his other sons at the banquet tonight.
That is, his most beloved son was handed over to Li Chengqian for discipline, and those who threatened Li Chengqian even if it were his son had to be eliminated with his own hands.
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince, the younger brother wants to go to the palace to see the eldest sister and Jinyang." Li Zhi is timid.
Tonight's dinner was held together with the banquet of Li Chengqian and Naliangdi, so many princesses, princesses, wives and other female relatives came to attend. Originally, Li Chengqian meant that the female dependents were arranged in the Ziguang Hall (Guangtian Hall Change) behind the Lizheng Palace, but the people in the Ministry of Rites and the East Palace thought that it was too troublesome, and the emperor and the ministers were sitting outside, so they directly arranged the female dependents in the Jiade Palace, so that everything was easy to deploy in one place.
Li Zhi didn't dare to be with Li Chengqian at this time, and he didn't dare to leave the table in advance, so he wanted to find a reason to enter the hall.
Li Chengqian's heart moved when he heard this, Li Zhi was not an honest child, he hooked up with his little mother Wu Meiniang when he was by Li Shimin's side, and when he became the emperor, he also had an affair with his sister-in-law and niece, so he couldn't let him approach his female relatives at will.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian lowered his face and said, "There are all women in here at this time, what are you doing with a man?"
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, His Majesty instantly quieted down, and Li Zhi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and didn't dare to squeak.
Li Chengqian didn't care about his face, got up and said directly: "You go down with me to meet the hundred officials and the people who participated in the Qiansuo political banquet." ”
Then he said to the others, "Sit down first, and the lonely king will go down to meet the people who have come to the banquet." ”
After saying that, he left directly, Li Zhi was about to cry when he followed Li Chengqian, and as soon as they went, Li Ke looked at Li Ke and smiled gloatingly.
Li Ke couldn't laugh, and thought to himself: Although the prince does not seem to be as heroic as his father, he does not have the great military exploits of his father's age.
But the hearts and power he has gained are even no less than the current father, and anyone who dares to go against him again has only a dead end.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Li Su, who was still ignorant, and secretly congratulated himself that he chose to follow Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian took Li Zhi and walked around below, so that the civil and military officials below knew that Li Shimin had handed over Li Zhi to him for education, and then returned to Yichun Palace.
A night of passion, the next day Li Chengqian just got up, and was about to take Wang Yedan to Cheng'en Hall to see the crown princess Su when he saw the old ghost hurriedly walked in.
Li Chengqian was a little unhappy and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The old ghost didn't dare to raise his head when he heard this, and bent down and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Your Majesty invites you to go to the court." ”
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this: "Go to the court? Why doesn't King Gu know that he is going to the court today?" He hasn't been to the court for a long time, and today is not the day of the great court, yesterday he was busy until the second half of the night, and the next morning he actually let him go to the court.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is yesterday His Majesty specially ordered you to take a hundred officials to the Taiji Hall to go to the court today." Li Chengqian thought about it, and it was more than two hours later than usual, which was acceptable.
Then he looked back at Wang Yedan and smiled apologetically: "King Lone is going to the court, and you will meet the crown princess yourself later." ”
Wang Yedan's face turned red when he heard this, and he saluted: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give priority to state affairs." ”
Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, this family may not have much ability to educate his son, but his daughter is definitely knowledgeable and courteous.
At that moment, the old ghost took the palace maid to change Li Chengqian's court clothes, and came to the Taiji Palace in a hurry.
At this time, the palace door has been opened, Li Chengqian's chariot directly entered the Taiji Palace, came to the Taiji Palace, and the hundred officials waiting in front of the palace saw Li Chengqian's chariot and saluted to see him.
Looking at this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to the court for the first time after crossing over, and only after a while did he say lightly: "Zhongqing is flat." When the hundred officials heard this, they dared to straighten up.
Seeing Li Chengqian slowly walking down, the hundred officials hurriedly got out of the way and let Li Chengqian walk in the front.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian was not humble and put on crutches, and walked to the front of the hall with a limp, and the civil and military officials all followed behind with solemn faces, without a little impatience on their faces.
When Li Chengqian walked up to the Dan Majesty Palace, the door had been opened, and Li Chengqian walked directly to the palace, and the imperial history of the rectification ceremony quickly sorted out the team of civil and military officials and followed Li Chengqian into the palace together.
Li Shimin was already sitting on the throne, and he was very relieved to see Li Chengqian walking steadily into the main hall with hundreds of officials.
Li Chengqian naturally saw Li Shimin, walked to the center of the main hall and bowed and said: "The son Li Chengqian sees his father, and wishes his father and the emperor a long life!" ”
"Minister-see Your Majesty, may Your Majesty have a long life!" The hundred officials who followed behind almost didn't keep up.
Li Shimin said with a smile on his face when he heard this: "Zhongqing is flat. ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he walked directly to the small throne next to Li Shimin and sat down, and the civil and military officials in the palace did not go to both sides to stand in line, but waited for Li Chengqian to sit down, and bowed again under the leadership of several prime ministers in the former central government and said: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, this is the Taiji Palace Dynasty Meeting, only Li Shimin was officially visited, like they had already worshiped themselves just now, why did they pay tribute to him?
"Cheng Qian."
When Li Chengqian was stunned, he heard Li Shimin remind him, Li Chengqian hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Shimin, saw Li Shimin nodded, knowing that this was arranged by Li Shimin, and hurriedly said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
Li Chengqian thought to himself: I don't know if the minister scolded him in his heart, and he didn't shout 'flat body' in time when he saluted twice.
Just when Li Chengqian was thinking wildly, he saw Yang Shidao holding an edict in his hand. Step out of a train.
"The system said: I am the heir of the ancestor, I am afraid of the night, I am diligent in politics, and I am nurtured in Hansheng, and I am seventeen years old...... Today, several scholars of the East Palace Chongjiao Hall assisted the prince, made many contributions, and now the special one was sealed, the left guard rate, the Chongjiao Hall scholar Su Dingfang, in addition to the right attendant of the military department, entered the Pingzhang Academy to take charge of the military room government affairs. The prince's guest, the scholar of the Chongjiao Palace, the Huangmen squire Zhu Suiliang removed the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and entered the Pingzhang Academy to take charge of the government affairs of the ceremonial room...... Xue Rengui, who joined the army, added the right leader Wei Zhonglang general, and Changshi Pei Xingjian removed the prince's family order. ”
As this edict was read, a large group of people came out of the East Palace's subordinate officials, and even Xue Rengui Ren Yaxiang, who was outside the palace, was summoned into the hall to salute and thank him.
Li Chengqian saw a little bit, this seal is basically except for Ren Yaxiang and Li Yifu's qualifications are too low, and several other scholars of the Chongjiao Hall have added the titles of squire of various ministries and re-entered the Pingzhang Academy.
After everyone thanked him, Yang Shidao took out an edict again and said loudly: "The system said: After the ancient sages, Xianzheng is an official, the virtuous and excellent are high, and the meritorious ones are generous." It is a country that is based on the state of the state, and it will be the honor of Xiao Cao; Change the yin and yang, and return to the hope of Zhong Hua. Cheng Mingzhen, the secretary of the Household Department of the Governor's Political Affairs, is knowledgeable, has a far-reaching demeanor, and is only known as Liang Dong...... Judge the left affairs of the book with the book of the household department. ”
This arrangement is also reasonable, and now Shangshu Province does not shoot left and right, but Hou Junji and Li Shiji's merits and qualifications are above Cheng Mingzhen.
If he directly returned to Feng Cheng Mingzhen to do the left and right servants, it would inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of Hou and Li, so he could only let him be the Shangshu Zuo Cheng first, but because there was no left and right servants, the implementation was still a matter of the prime minister.
When Cheng Mingzhen saluted and thanked him, Yang Shidao took out the first edict in his hand: "The system said: ......"
Although the ministers of the palace were numb, they were still shocked by this edict, because this was to add Xue Dading as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
At this time, all the officials in the palace looked at the father and son sitting in Shangyang in shock: After the Xuanwu Change, Li Shimin did not appoint a large number of old people from the Qin Palace! The center of the court is still Li Yuanshi's ministers, and there are even Wei Zheng and Wang Qi, who are Li Jiancheng's people, but the current ministers of the East Palace have easily won half of the imperial court, if it weren't for the fact that the generals in the court are still Li Shimin's people, I would think that Li Chengqian also launched a change in Xuanwumen.
