The new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial power was replaced, and it was not much of a feeling for ordinary people, the emperor could be anyone, as long as they had enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and if they could, the children of the family could go to school, which was already very satisfying.

But for the ministers of the court, this is a new shuffle of power.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely implement benevolent government first to appease the people of the world, and at the same time, the new emperor will also establish his own team, win over some ministers, and suppress some ministers at the same time. This is the emperor's art of checks and balances, and it has never changed since ancient times.

Soon after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he made a series of changes to the positions of the ministers of the court. There are those who have been promoted to the rank of extremely popular ministers, such as Li Tao who was awarded the title of Great Sima and ranked as the prime minister, which can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people. There are also those who have been demoted, but Li Zhi didn't go too far, but just transferred a few officials with poor political performance to the next position, a little more interesting, after all, he has just taken the throne, and making too much movement will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the ministers below, so he just carefully transferred a few positions.

And the most eye-catching is Chen Fei.

On the first day of Li Zhi's registration, the eunuchs read out Chen Fei's exploits since he entered the court, and the ministers were confused, and they didn't understand why the first day of the new emperor's early dynasty became Chen Fei's merit conference? This...... How can this Nima make these old ministers embarrassed? This feeling is like when you are full of joy and ready to eat a big meal, and suddenly find that there is a fly in the soup, the most disgusting thing is that this fly is still fed by the emperor today, and sent to your mouth, and you can't spit it out. It's so angry......

And the flies in the hearts of the ministers...... Ah no, it's Chen Fei, and at this moment, there are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping through in his heart! Good end-to-end! It's hairy! Why don't you talk about your own business? Do you know that it will bring a lot of hatred to yourself!

And at this time, Chen Fei had already noticed that some people were looking at him with bad intentions! Some ministers obviously showed jealousy towards Chen Fei, but they couldn't speak for the sake of face.

Chen Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: Li Zhi, Li Zhi, you can be regarded as making me miserable! On the first day, the court can say anything, promotion and demotion, future planning, which countries to conquer in the future, and even let everyone pat on the back together, you just want to get involved with me? Isn't this? What is a pig teammate? That's what Li Zhi is talking about!

Chen Fei can predict that the next political career may not be so peaceful!

In the past, when Li Shimin was there, with Li Shimin's prestige, who of the ministers in the court dared not obey his orders? As long as Chen Fei settles down a little and has a good relationship with several ministers, he will naturally be quite favored and low-key in the court. And with Li Shimin covered, who dares to trouble him?

What's worse is that Li Zhi, this kid, has just registered, and the court has not yet fully controlled himself before he pushed himself out, how can we ensure his safety? When the time comes, I will be stabbed in the back, and I don't know how to die.

He wanted to cry a little, and he thought about Li Shimin a little, at least Li Shimin wouldn't do such a foolish thing!

The eunuch finally finished reading Chen Fei's deeds, Chen Fei suspected that Li Zhi had been prepared, otherwise he would not have listed everything he had done over the years in such detail, and now that he has finished reading, it is estimated that he will be promoted? Or a knighthood? Everyone looked at Li Zhi to see what he wanted to do.

Soon, Li Zhi's words basically guessed Chen Fei's thoughts, this guy ...... Damn it! I actually want to give myself a knighthood! it! Chen Fei has 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart!

It's okay to say that he has done a lot over the years, and everyone can see it, although some ministers are not convinced, but they should be able to tolerate it. Promotion...... This one is more hehe! This Nima is no longer simply pulling hatred, it is completely to push him to the opposite side of many ministers!

First, in Chen Fei's view, the promotion to the knighthood only added a name to him, and did not bring him much actual power. But the title can be hereditary, and the higher the title, the higher your status, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.

Second, there were so many old ministers who followed the emperor in the early years of the court, and so many people didn't even have a title. I've only been in officialdom for a few years now, right? I've been knighted three times in ten years, and this time I'm going to do it again? That's not the speed at which you drive a rocket, right?

Oh yes, Li Zhi probably doesn't know what a rocket is, that's why he did such a crime.

And Li Zhi's second mistake is that he promoted Chen Fei to a knighthood, or promoted him to two titles in a row. Directly promoted from the county marquis to the county duke! The title is tied with the battle-hardened Niu Jinda and other old ministers! This Nima ...... It's too much!

The only thing that comforted Chen Fei was that Li Zhi probably also felt that the title of Strange Marquis was not good, so he changed his title, saying: Yongle County Duke.

Because Chen Fei's hometown is in Yongle Village, the southeastern suburb of Chang'an City, he uses his hometown as the title, which is considered to be a relatively high specification in the title.

"Wait!" Yu Zhining, who had just been promoted to a waiter, stood up and said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, although Lord Chen Fei, the Marquis of Strange Things, has made remarkable contributions, it is a little inappropriate to reward him like this. ”

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi immediately frowned. Yu Zhining taught him, and he also respected this teacher very much, but when he came out to raise the bar at this time, he inevitably lost face to himself.

Li Zhi put a lot of effort into promoting Chen Fei to the title, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked back, how did you make him not angry?

Yu Zhining didn't realize Li Zhi's unhappiness, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, although Lord Chen has made outstanding contributions, he is still young, and the matter of knighthood should not be hasty. And Lord Chen did not have the credit for expanding the territory......"

"Lord Yu! Who said that Chen Fei didn't have the credit for expanding the territory? You can't see all the battles he participated in, can't you? Anyone could see that Li Zhi was a little angry again, but Yu Zhining didn't realize it at all, and continued to speak: "Your Majesty, those are indeed credits, but they are not the main attack, and the original main general is not Lord Chen. The first emperor has a testament, not to give the title of official at will, not to open up the territory, not to make meritorious contributions, with all due respect, the qualifications of Lord Chen...... It's still a little shallow, if you make great achievements in the future, you will have no objection to the title of official and knight, but now ......" Yu Zhining shook his head, but his attitude was quite resolute!

And Li Zhi has already blushed with anger!
