Chapter 252: Sealing the King

It has been several days since the last incident in the court, and today is the first day of the new year, the day of the court meeting, so early in the morning, I saw many official sedan chairs starting to rush in the direction of the palace, which was much more lively than usual.

Among the officialdom, there is no shortage of well-informed people, so that many things that happened in the court will soon be known to everyone. And the things that happened in the court a few days ago, one by one, were all big things that shocked the government and the opposition. First, the imperial history impeached the prince, followed by the general of the right guard, the Duke of Luguo, and Hou Jun gathered in the court and were directly seriously injured. Subsequently, an inexplicable prince was made, and Jia Zhiyuan was imprisoned in the imperial history. These things soon became known to the government and the opposition.

However, the most curious thing is how a prince suddenly appeared. Those who are in the know are silent and silent, and those who are not in the know have inquired one after another, and then they have a lot of discussions, saying everything. A prince with no title, no name and no name, this is indeed a rare thing. Everyone is waiting to see what the royal family will say.

"Strategist, you say, will Your Majesty mention the matter of being crowned king today?"

Cheng Yanjin was still standing behind Li Ji, and then asked Li Ji in a low voice.

"It's very likely, after all, this matter is already in an uproar, if it is so nameless, unorthodox, and unruly, it will not be good for Your Majesty's reputation."

As soon as Li Ji heard it, he knew what Cheng Yanjin was talking about. Those of them who came out of Wagangzhai have a very deep affection. Therefore, for Cheng Yanjin's question, Li Ji thought for a while and whispered to Cheng Yanjin.

"Hehe, King Feng, Your Majesty must have a headache. That man, but he likes to be a big official, his name is not loud, and he never knows what the rules are. Oh, do you think Your Majesty will give him an official position? If that's the case, it's bad, oh my God........."

Thinking of knighthood. Cheng Yanjin immediately remembered. Back then, Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu came. Then, however, he began to look anxious. Because, he suddenly thought. Will this emperor grant Li Feng an official position? If it is conferred an official position. These are the generals. But it's not going to be easy.

If Li Feng is awarded an official position, a civil official, it is absolutely impossible. It must be the official position of military attaché. If this is a military attaché, then it will be involved with these generals, and when the time comes, I don't know what will happen.

"Well, no, it shouldn't be, this is going to be the king. According to the usual practice, it must be to reward the fief, and then leave Chang'an and go to the fief. It's okay, it's okay. It's just that I don't know if this master will go to the battlefield in the future. I think, there is a good chance that he will go, hehe, when the time comes, it will be fun. ”

Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin immediately felt relieved again, and then, he actually thought of fighting. He was sure that as long as there was a war, that war violent maniac would definitely go, and when the time came, it would indeed be a lot of fun.

"Don't dream about it, it's imperative to be crowned king. However, His Majesty will definitely not let him leave Chang'an, and who knows what kind of mess will be made outside. Also, judging from the situation last time, his temperament has changed a lot. Forget it, this kind of thing, who knows, let's wait and see."

Even if Li Ji is a man of great wisdom, he can't be sure of these things. When encountering such an unusual person, the emperor can only play his cards according to the usual routine.

"Hehe, what the military advisor said is very true, Lao Cheng, I don't want to be like that old monkey cub"

Regarding Li Ji's words of quietly watching the changes, Cheng Yanjin agrees very much. This reminded him again, the last time in the court, Hou Junji's miserable situation, without three months of cultivation, he couldn't get out of bed.

As time slowly approached, the emperor finally appeared on the dragon chair. After a period of worship ceremony, there was silence in the main hall, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's speech.

"Come, Decree"

Li Shimin sat on the high dragon chair, and after carefully inspecting it first, he immediately spoke. As soon as his words fell, a eunuch stepped forward, opened the decree in his hand, and began to read it.

"The fourth son of Gaozu, my younger brother, Li Feng, the character Yuanba, has been extraordinary since childhood......... Blessed by God, I am back safely today. Therefore, he was specially named the brave king, entered the forbidden palace without reporting, and faced the emperor without kneeling......... I heard that there is a famous craftsman in the south of the village, which is an auspicious place, and it is specially given to the residence of King Yong...... King Yong's mansion, far away from Beijing, backed by Zhongnan, is specially allowed to form a royal guard......"

Sure enough, as many people expected, the emperor really wanted to knight Li Feng today. However, when everyone listened to the content of the holy decree, they all gasped. This decree was so unusual, and at once, three charters came.

The first concession exempted Li Feng from all ceremonial matters. It is said in the holy decree that you can enter the palace without notification, and you can enter if you want. When you see the emperor, you don't have to bow and kneel. Let's ask, is there anything more important than the etiquette of the emperor in the world?

The second concession is to directly turn the craftsman village into Li Feng's private land. This is not like those fiefdoms, but completely belongs to Li Feng's own territory, haven't you heard that this is the place of the mansion. That means that the entire boundary of the craftsman village belongs to Li Feng's mansion.

And the third concession, which is even more exaggerated, directly authorized Li Feng to form a royal guard, although I don't know how many people there are, but there will be no less. Although, each prince's palace has a family office and a family tent house, and there is a prince's guard. However, compared to others, it is far behind.

In short, in a word, with this holy decree, the craftsman village has become a country within a country. Whoever gets there, except for the emperor, has to take a detour.

"Your Majesty, such a reward is not in line with the norm."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is the norm, and the amount of guards in the Prince's Mansion is fixed. If it is changed at will, it does not conform to the rules. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the decree was recited, someone immediately stood up and spoke. For such a scene, Li Shimin had expected it for a long time, and it was not surprising. The moment the holy decree was read, he began to keep an eye on Wei Zheng. The only thing he was worried about was that this stubborn old man was going up to him in this matter.

As for the rest of the people, Li Shimin is not afraid, they don't have that temper yet, and they dare to really fight against themselves. The minds of these people are not as simple as Wei Zheng, and they have too many concerns. The reason why I came out to speak was nothing more than to talk about things and achieve some goals in an unconventional way.

"Wei Aiqing, what is your opinion?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng really didn't say a word, Li Shimin's heart was settled. In fact, yesterday, Li Shimin discovered that Wei Zheng's behavior has become a little weird since he met Li Feng. For this situation, Li Shimin also guessed some reasons, Wei Zheng used to be a scholar under Dou Jiande. And his fourth brother led the soldiers to clean up Dou Jiande at the beginning.

It's just that the only thing that Li Shimin can't understand is that Wei Zheng, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even himself, the emperor, dares to often contradict him, seems to be very jealous of the arrival of these four brothers.

However, Li Shimin didn't care about this now, and after discovering this situation, he immediately began to question Wei Zheng. This kind of thing was the first thing Wei Zheng opposed, and if he had no opinion today, many people would naturally die down.

"Enlightening the saints, the ministers think that the saints are very considerate. The craftsman village, adjacent to Zhongnan, needs to be defended, but it needs to be strengthened. And King Yong's brother, His Majesty's brother, is exempted from kneeling, which also shows the deep brotherhood between His Majesty and King Yong, although it is slightly inappropriate in the etiquette, but it is not a big problem. ”

Li Shimin's question made Wei Zheng also stunned, he didn't expect that the emperor would take the initiative to find him. However, after careful consideration, he still supported the emperor's opinion.

He said this for other reasons, but, again, out of consideration for the emperor. For a long time, the change of Xuanwumen has made the emperor covered with a black shadow, killing his brother and killing his brother, this reputation is not good. It just so happens that you can take advantage of this incident to prove to the world that the emperor is not such a ruthless person.

As soon as everyone heard it, when Wei Zheng mentioned the four words of brotherhood, they all chose to shut up obediently. They also thought of the meaning of the representatives of the matter. If you oppose it again, wouldn't it show that you want to trap the emperor in injustice.

"Prince, you are responsible for the transmission of the decree."

Seeing Wei Zheng's words, everyone really shut up obediently, and Li Shimin was also very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that this Wei Zheng would also be able to help him speak. Subsequently, he handed over the matter of this proclamation to Li Chengqian. The devil knows, his fourth brother, will directly take the holy decree and throw it away.

After the court meeting was dispersed, everyone began to leave the Taiji Hall one after another and walked towards the outside of the palace. At this moment, Cheng Yanjin was quickly following Wei Zheng.

"Hehe, Lord Wei, did you know King Yong before?"

Cheng Yanjin is indeed very curious, Wei Zheng's performance in the past two days is not at all like his previous style. Therefore, I really couldn't help it, ran forward, and asked Wei Zheng with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Wei Zheng turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin, which was also very strange. He Wei Zheng is quite self-aware of his popularity. However, after listening to Cheng Yanjin's question, he also had an understanding and knew what this guy wanted to ask.

"Although I, Wei Zheng, am very conceited, I am not conceited to the point where I think I can reason with His Royal Highness King Yong."

Wei Zheng stopped, glanced at Cheng Biting Jin a few times, and then, leaving a sentence, he ignored Cheng Biting Jin anymore and walked forward on his own.

"Hehe, this old man, he's still quite self-aware. Well, but also, it's really impossible to reason with that guy."

Wei Zheng's answer to the question made Cheng Yanjin not come back to his senses for a long time. After thinking about it for a while, I finally figured out what Wei Zheng meant. Then, he looked at Wei Zheng, who was far away, and whispered with a smile. (To be continued......)
