Chapter 601: Succession? Succession!
Chapter 601 Succession? Succession!
His Majesty Li Zhi, the wise and wise emperor of Tang Ying, how long has it been since he went to court, gone?
In Shangguan Yi's place, the answer is an astonishing five months and three days, that is, nearly half a year. Although the others are not as meticulous and serious as the chief prime minister, they bend their fingers and count, and these days are not far from ten. Therefore, when Wang Fushun came to the Provincial Political Hall under the door and panted and informed the emperor that he would go to the Xuanzheng Hall tomorrow, the three elders and the two newers in the entire political hall were all stunned.
Not only that, Wang Fushun also brought another amazing news - please Zhongshu Province to draw up a decree, take Pei Xingjian as the book of the Ministry of Rites, and add the three products under the same Zhongshu door. In other words, someone has become a rightful prime minister.
When he heard the news, Shangguan Yi was the first to be stunned, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears, and Hao Chujun, who was old-fashioned on the side, almost didn't bare out his eyes. Even if this Pei Xingjian is not a thorn in the eyes of the Empress Wu, it is definitely not much worse. I think if it weren't for Pei Xingjian, who was the Chang'an Commander at the time, saying behind his back that the Empress Wu was not, how could he have fallen to the land in the Western Regions?
Chang'an Ling is a five-grade official, according to Pei Xingjian's ability and the initial promotion speed, he should have become the prime minister a long time ago!
After this stunned, the five prime ministers came back to their senses almost at the same moment, and they all agreed. Shangguan Yi is the oldest, and he has to ask Wang Fushun about the situation, but the other party didn't know what to ask, which made him angry half to death, and finally had to threaten: "This King Yong is now a Zhongshu order, he will definitely know the news, and he will have to ask you when the time comes!" β
If this were usual, Wang Fushun would definitely compromise. But this time, he was not stunned at all, but said with a smile: "So that the Shangguan Prime Minister will know, and King Yong will know about this matter yesterday." Seeing that the old Shangguan's face turned blue all of a sudden, he was afraid that the old man would turn his back on his anger all of a sudden, so he quickly explained, "Last night, the prince and King Yong both lived in Penglai Palace, admiring the moon and drinking together. That's why I promised to go to court tomorrow. β
Shangguan Yi's face was a little pale, but he still didn't think of being ugly, and as soon as he turned around and looked at Hao Chujun, he threw all these bad things out of the clouds. Anyway. This emperor is about to come back tomorrow, if there is anything to ask the Son of Heaven directly, he can't be entangled with an internal prison. So, with a wave of his hand, he sent the man away. Pulling Chu Jun to the side and began to study who to draft the recital.
If this prime minister even has to write the matter of the edict himself, it will be too pitiful, and the people in the middle of the book province are not dry meals! So, Wang Hanchao, who had just returned from Liaodong, was taken out by the two of them. And as soon as I heard that it was such an edict, the latter was accomplished with a stroke of the pen, and the literary style was not a problem - this literary style is not romantic. How can you be promoted to a scholar?
And Liu Yizhi took advantage of Li Jingxuan's busy screening of the personnel report sent by the ministry. Quietly squeezed his eyes at Pei Yan. joked in a low voice: "Lao Pei, this time the political hall is except for me and Lao Liu Xianggong, who are surnamed Liu." The surname Pei has also become two, that's your own family! β
This Pei family has been a family since the two Jin Dynasty, and is known as the famous Xima Pei. If you count it carefully, Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan are indeed the same clan. It's just that Pei Yan doesn't have any dealings with his own frustrated Tongzong, and the only thing that makes him admire is probably the fact that the other party is good at leading troops as a civil minister.
"Now the old Shangguan won't be worried, and there will be fewer people." He replied succinctly, but then thought about whether Li Xian's rare absence today was related to the emperor's tomorrow's court. Thinking about it in detail, his huge thinking ability began to string together the recent events one by one, trying to sort out a clear context.
Needless to say, in the end, it turned out that this was useless work, and his brain became more and more confused.
Li Xian sent a leave slip for his absence, claiming that he was not in good health. Although the old Shangguan was not happy, but seeing that all the things related to the case were lost to Di Renjie, the political affairs hall was not very busy, so he could only acquiesce to Li Xian's laziness. In his opinion, even if everyone in Chang'an City is sick, Li Xian must be alive.
Emperor Li will not be in the court tomorrow and does not need to control the secrets, so one spread ten to hundreds, and finally under the false rumors, the people in the streets and alleys even said that the eye disease of the Son of Heaven had been cured. There are even people who swear that this Guo Xingzhen doesn't know where he disappeared and the Earth Pill Furnace fell into the hands of the Son of Heaven, so he can cure the disease.
As for the news reaching the ears of some people, making them bite their silver teeth and smash the teacup, it is not enough for outsiders.
The next day, the Xuanzheng Palace's Chang Dynasty started on time as always, and due to the problem of station shifts, it had to go through some adjustments. Although Emperor Li has made a comeback, a series of titles on Li Xian's head have not been removed, so he is standing under the seated crown prince Li Hong. He could even clearly feel that the eyes of countless people were focused on Li Hong behind him.
Before the emperor came, the prince who was known as Shen Shen came first, how could it not make people curious?
As the chief prime minister and the crown prince, Shangguan Yi's eyes have always been around Li Hong. Although it is not like Yu Zhi
It was Li Hong's concubine, but after all, he had taught for a while and had a lot of affection for this prince, so he was greatly relieved to see that the other party was not as sick and weak as the legend.
Although it was supposed to be quiet before the meeting, all the officials were so excited that the buzzing rang out in all corners, and in the end the prime minister had to preside over the order. Finally, with a sharp voice, Li Zhi and Empress Wu, the first couple of the Tang Dynasty, finally came out after a long time.
The emperor is fat, and his complexion is better.
This was the first impression of all the officials, so the mountain and tsunami during the dance were full of excitement. Even Shangguan Yi had an impulse of ecstasy when he saw Emperor Li's much rounder faceβthank God, the mess these days should be over.
So, after the emperor sat down, Shangguan Yi immediately went out to express his high respect and blessings for the comeback of the Son of Heaven on behalf of the ministers, and then asked Emperor Li in euphemistic words whether he was a whim in the court this time, or whether he would resume his diligence in the future - he didn't want to be happy in vain!
Most people pricked up their ears, and Li Xian was no exception. In fact, just after his mother made conditions to his father the day before yesterday, he and Li Hong were temporarily kicked out. Although Li Xian, Li Xulun, and Li Lingyue were also called over that night to reunite with the family, he still didn't know what his father and mother discussed. At this time, he is the one who is more curious than the hundred officials.
However, Emperor Li did not react to Shangguan Yi's temptation immediately, but waved his hand with a smile, and first expressed the highest affirmation and praise for the work of the Taiyi Department. Although it is impossible for the people of the Imperial Doctor's Department to appear in this court, as long as they go to court, such affirmation and praise are enough for those imperial doctors to become influential figures.
Of course, Li Zhi will not forget to point out that his eye disease has only improved, and it is not yet to the extent of complete recovery, so he is already a little powerless to deal with political affairs. He also ignored the inexplicable surprise of the countless officials below him at the four words of inadequacy, coughed lightly, and threw out a decision comparable to a magnitude 8 earthquake.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have fulfilled the last wish of the first emperor and pacified the great trouble of Liaodong, which can be regarded as a small success. Now that I have not yet reached 50, I have suffered from frequent eye diseases, and even if I regain my sight in the future, there is no guarantee that I will be able to handle political affairs energetically. The crown prince Li Hong became the crown prince at the age of seven, gentle and courteous, filial piety and virtuousness, and never made a mistake in supervising the country several times before and after. β
There must be something wrong with the ears, it must be!
Li Xian only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he almost lost his temper to the point where he turned his head to look at Li Hong's face. Li Zhi must have colluded with Empress Wu, but Li Hong was not psychologically prepared at all, and at this time he suddenly proposed to pass on the throne, and he, an outsider, was frightened like this, not to mention his fifth brother of the crown prince?
Someone among the extremely shocked officials finally reacted, and a white-haired old minister suddenly stumbled out and hit his head on the ground: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, this succession is too sudden, and I don't dare to agree with Weichen!" β
Usually, there are countless echoes when there is a beginning, however, I don't know why this day, and then the audience was silent, and there was no agreement or objection. Shangguan Yi and other prime ministers felt that something was not quite right, and it was not the right time to express their opinions, so they remained silent; When the officials of the three provinces saw that their superiors did not speak, they also shut up; The officials of the temple department had the intention to express their opinions, but when they saw that after one person took the lead, everyone else became dumb, and the desire to be in the limelight faded.
Fortunately, there is still no shortage of hard-nosed officials in Datang, and at the moment, several imperial historians have stood up to oppose it. To put it mildly, the original Gaozu succession was due to heartache and Yuanji's rebellion, and there is no comparison with the current Emperor Li; said that the prince is not in good health now, and if there are three long and two short after the succession, this society will be even more turbulent.
When the atmosphere in the court gradually became a little lively, Li Xian suddenly heard a voice from above-"Liulang thinks it's appropriate for me to pass on the throne to the crown prince?" β
For a while, Li Xian only felt that the countless eyes under him were shooting towards him like spotlights, but it was inevitable to avoid it. Although he hated his father and didn't forget to bring himself with him at this time, he still turned around and bowed down with a smile on his face: "If my father is in good health, it is a blessing for the world to be in charge; If the father and emperor really find it difficult to continue, it is not bad to pass on the fifth brother of the crown prince. All in all, no matter what, Erchen will do his best to assist. β
This is tantamount to saying nothing! Shangguan Yi was furious when he heard it below, and secretly scolded Li Xian for slipping his head. Angry, he finally couldn't help it, stood up and raised his head and said: "This is a big matter, I implore Your Majesty to think twice, don't trap the prince in embarrassment!" β
After all, he was a former teacher, and others paid attention to Emperor Li's attitude, but only he saw the abnormal red on Li Hong's face.
