At the first court meeting in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan resigned!

The ministers were a little surprised, after all, an important minister withdrew from the court, and so suddenly, there must be some impact.

After thinking about it, the ministers felt that this matter was reasonable, after all, Yu Shinan was already eighty years old, and it was time for him to retire for a long time.

Even if he does not resign, how many more years can he live and stand in the court for a few more years? It's better to take advantage of the fact that the body is still strong, go home and tease your grandson, spend your old age in peace, and gain fame and fortune.

However, some people were surprised, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, almost all the purple-robed adults had solemn eyes.

They know better than others that Yu Shinan's role in the current delicate situation in the court, and his resignation will not have an immediate major impact. But in the long run, the impact is not small.

However, Emperor Li Shimin didn't seem surprised, and said happily: "Yu Qing is old, he has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he should take care of his old age, and I will allow it." ”

The emperor approved it?!

Seeing this situation, many smart and far-sighted people suddenly understood that Yu Shinan's resignation was not a temporary move, but had been discussed with His Majesty the Emperor a long time ago, and a tacit understanding was reached.

That's right, too! How could a pivotal minister, and there be no emergency, resign in a hurry?

Now that the emperor has allowed Yu Shinan to leave, he must have chosen a successor, or a replacement, or another way to maintain the balance.

So which way exactly? Or which one?

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu, who suddenly felt alone, were most concerned, but they were not restless, nor did they look left and right. An official, if he wants to gain a foothold in the court, if he can only observe with his eyes, his future will definitely not be great.

Li Shimin praised Yu Shinan, who resigned, and allowed him to resign, and gave him a lot of rewards to let him spend his old age in peace.

Yu Shinan bowed down to thank him. After saluting the emperor, turn around and leave the Taiji Hall, leaving the court forever.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty spontaneously watched this respected old minister leave, and Xie Yi noticed that Yu Shinan's mental state was slightly different from before.

Without the same spirit as before, he looks older and more tired at the moment, but he also has a little more relaxed look.

When he walked by, Yu Shinan, who was not shocked, still couldn't hold back after all, and glanced up at Xie Yi. There is a lot of hope and encouragement in his eyes.

Xie Yi nodded politely, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that this was an old leader who had some encouragement to his favored juniors when he retired.

Then in the eyes of those who care, this scene is of great significance.

Many resourceful people suddenly understood why an eighteen-year-old boy could enter the Hongwen Pavilion, because an old man in twilight had just walked out of it.

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu understood it immediately, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little worried; Cen Wenwen looked the same as usual. There was also a vague smile on his face, perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he was in Zhongshu and was well-informed.

The expression of Du Chuke, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was a little complicated, and his thinking slowed down a little. But in the end, the ins and outs were still figured out.

A few months ago, Yu Shinan went to Jiangdu, and when he returned, he passed by Luoyang Miansheng, and presumably asked the emperor to resign at that time. That's when it began. His Majesty Li Er began to look for a replacement.

There is no doubt that this replacement is Xie Yi, who was born in the Xie family of Chen County, and was one of the four overseas Chinese surnames in the Jiang Dynasty that year. "Wang Xie" was once the world's leading famous family, and the southern scholars could recognize it.

The only flaw is youth, but if the emperor wants to support and cultivate it, it will be different. Therefore, at the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty Li Er intended to make Xie Yi famous all over the world, and then he was crowned a bachelor of Hongwen Hall by virtue of his meritorious service.

At that time, the emperor had already seen this move and laid out the game.

I have to say, Gao Ming!

If it was proposed to move Xie Yi to the Hongwen Pavilion now, the resistance would definitely be great, so the emperor quietly began to arrange it in advance.

At that time, no one thought that Xie Yi's official title had such significance, since it was insignificant, and it was a reward after the rescue, who would risk the possibility of angering Long Yan and easily object?

As a result, now the name of Mr. Xie has been confirmed, and the raw rice has matured!

Perhaps this is the real reason why the emperor attaches great importance to grace Xie Yi, not because of his outstanding talent and medical skills, at least not all.

It is foreseeable that as a representative of the southern scholar clan, Xie Yi has a great future in the future, and his status is also very important. But His Royal Highness King Wei not only did not entrap this person, but instead "murdered", is there a risk that it is contrary to the holy will?

Du Chuke couldn't help but start thinking about whether to dissuade Li Tai, the king of Wei......

……

Yu Shinan's resignation is regarded as the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and the first sound of the court made many sleepy-eyed courtiers wake up completely.

Many people have not yet returned to their senses, and Wang Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has come out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."

"What did Shu Jue play?" Li Shimin politely called his words and asked with a smile.

Wang Jue bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the three products have been on the road to meet the prince and descended, indecent, please abolish it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a thunderclap sounded in the court, which shocked everyone's hearts.

The meaning of the Ministry of Rites is that the three-rank official meets the prince on the road and needs to get off the carriage to avoid saluting, which is not in line with the etiquette system, and requests to be abolished!

When the words landed, Li Tai, the king of Wei, suddenly chuckled in his heart.

There are two reasons: first, in recent times, I have been the biggest "beneficiary" of this regulation; Second, Wang Qi is his own teacher.

What does it mean for Wang Qi to suddenly make such a request?

Li Tai was still suspicious, but Li Shimin on the throne said slightly angrily: "Qing and others are consciously noble and want to despise my prince brothers?" ”

"Your Majesty, the kings are the third duke, and now the three grades and above are all nine and eight; According to the etiquette, it is indeed inappropriate to get off the carriage and salute the prince. This time, it was Wei Zheng who spoke with good advice.

Xie Yi saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but guess in his heart, it seems that many people don't like this rule.

Whether it is abolished or not, Li Yuan and Li Shimin have a lot of sons, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty grabs a lot of them. If you encounter one, you have to get off the carriage, and it is really troublesome. It's okay to be plain, but when it rains and snows, isn't it asking for hardship?

Li Shimin frowned, and said unhappily: "The life span of a person is unpredictable, in case the prince unfortunately dies early, who can know which prince will become the prince one day, as a monarch such as a king?" How can we despise them now? ”

When Li Tai heard this, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate!

It can be seen that the father insisted, and did not want to give in, so it was good, the prince was not much worse than the prince in etiquette. As for the grievances of the courtiers, in the future, I will be more low-key and modest, and try to avoid the courtesy of the important ministers, and it seems that I can still lose the reputation of modesty and ease.

There is also a father who mentioned that in case the prince dies early......

Oh, yes! The crown prince was assassinated last month, didn't he almost die, whether he can sit on the dragon chair or not, it depends on the number of fate, depending on luck. If the crown prince is unlucky, falls or dies early, then ......

As soon as a thought came to Li Tai's heart, Wang Jue bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial titles have been inherited by father and son, and the eldest and youngest are orderly, not brothers and brothers; This move is to prevent the prince from coveting the throne, plug the root cause of the trouble, and ensure the stability of the country.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated before, he was only injured and in good health, and the crown princess was pregnant, and the East Palace was about to have an heir. According to the etiquette system, the inheritance of the national honor is orderly, please be cautious! ”
