Chapter 108: The Old Ministers and the New Ministers
On the morning of the second day, after the minister finished reporting his daily affairs, Xue announced yesterday's decision to the ministers:
"I have been the emperor for a month, but I have not held the enthronement ceremony for a long time, and Lord Pei proposed to me that a ceremonial official could be selected from among the students of the country to be in charge of the ceremonies and sacrificial activities of the palace. I decided to let Sima Yun take this position, and the official name of this ceremonial official is Da Honglu. β
As soon as Xue's voice fell, the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and there was a lot of discussion, at this time, an old historian came out and shouted:
"Your Majesty may not"
"Why?"
Xue looked displeased, originally she, the emperor, was aggrieved enough, and she was careful in doing things everywhere, for fear of offending anyone, but now she just chose a court official and was pointed out by the ministers of the previous dynasty.
"In ancient times, there was a great Honglu, the son of the princes succeeded to the throne and the leaders of the ethnic minorities in the four directions were entitled, called, and also responsible for the suburban temple sacrifice when the ceremony was praised, and the kings entered the suburbs to welcome the ceremony and other major events in the court, all dynasties and dynasties were held by the ascending and respectful, how could Your Majesty let a ......"
"What's the matter, a yellow-haired boy? Nawu is also a yellow-haired boy, and he has become the emperor of Dayu. β
Xue couldn't swallow this breath, she also knew that the old embassy was not a gangster, and this statement was also from the bottom of her heart, one Sima Lie was troublesome enough, and there were also a group of old ministers in the court, who were quite opposed to Xue's series of "unruly" measures.
"This ......" Seeing that Xue was angry in the court, the old historian was a little speechless for a while.
Xue took a deep breath, calmed down, and patiently explained to the old historian:
"Lord Sun, I know what you are worried about, Sima Yun was also recommended by Master Pei, saying that he is good at astronomical legislation and is familiar with music and law, and I also know that this position is very important, so I decided to let the prince of the royal family take over the position, and he will not take over this position immediately, he will study in Guozixue while helping me prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and Mr. Pei will also guide from the side, so Lord Sun can rest assured?"
Xue didn't want Pei Xuanling's name in advance, but at this time, she could only move out of Pei Xuanling's mountain to suppress these old ministers, and when Lord Sun saw this, he didn't say anything anymore.
"Da Honglu is in charge of the prince and crowned the king, and he is praised for the seal ribbon, and Yun Gongzi has not yet been crowned king, which is not enough to establish a letter, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
The voice was deep and slow, it was not a scheming courtier, Xue heard the prestige, and unconsciously narrowed his eyes, if this was from the mouth of others, it would be fine, but if it was Li Zhixue, he would definitely have to weigh the meaning more.
"Lord Li hasn't spoken in the court for a long time, but as soon as he speaks, he is a blockbuster." Snow teased.
"Minister, don't dare."
Li Zhili was thoughtful, respectful and polite, and people couldn't find fault with it, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xue would never have imagined that Li Zhi's son Li Xuan was such an arrogant person.
"Don't worry about this, Lord Li, I don't plan to let this great Honglu have so much power, he only needs to be in charge of all kinds of etiquette affairs in the palace, just like Lord Li said, the rest will have to wait until Yun Gongzi is knighted."
After Xue finished speaking, the court gradually quieted down, and seeing that there was no longer any opposition, Xue announced:
"In that case, this matter is here, I will discuss with the four auxiliary ministers and Master Pei, and set an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible."
Xue Yu closed, glanced at Sima Lie, whether it was Sima or Sima Lie recently, the two of them seemed to be deliberately avoiding suspicion, rarely speaking in the court, and after the next court, in the imperial study, Xue also met with Pei Xuanling, Xun Ting and Zuo Ruhui, and read under their guidance.
I saw Sima Lie lowering his head and eyes, unable to see his expression clearly, but Zhou was still giving people a feeling of being invincible, he was more and more immovable, and Xue Yue felt that he was making another big move, and he had no choice but to do it.
β¦β¦
After a few days of calm and calm, the day of the day with the Guozi Xue Courtyard is getting closer and closer, one afternoon, the snow is stepping up preparations, at this time, Jiang Gonggong hurriedly ran into the imperial study, "flutter" kneeling on the ground.
"Father-in-law Jiang, didn't you say don't come to the imperial study to disturb?" Snow frowned.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is good news Lu Yizhi, Lord Lu has returned to Beijing, and now he is on his way to enter the palace to face the saint."
When Xue heard this, she stood up from her seat at once, walked into the hall, and said:
"Really? Hahaha...... "Xue clapped her hands and applauded, "This Lu Yizhi's movements are really fast, if he enters the palace, let him come directly to the imperial study." β
"Your Majesty." Gong Jiang received the order, turned around and went out happily.
After a while, Xue saw Lu Yizhi in the imperial study.
Lu Yizhi's speed was so fast that Xue was unexpected, and as soon as they met, Xue found that his skin had darkened, and his face had also lost a lot of weight, which was similar to the appearance of the court that day, which shows how desperately he hurried to walk all over Dayu's fiefdom in less than a month.
"Minister, attend Your Majesty." Lu Yi stepped forward and bowed to the snow.
"Master Lu, it's been a long journey and a hard time, get up and talk back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Yizhi got up, took out an envelope and presented it, Sima Cheng took the envelope, and then handed it to Xue, Xue opened the envelope and found that it was a list inside.
"This is a list of weapons that have been withdrawn this time, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look."
Xue hurriedly swept through the various lists, and the types, quantities, and sources of weapons on them were all written very clearly, but Xue didn't have much research on weapons, and she didn't know the situation of the weapons reserves of the original kings, so she could only go to the treasury later to take a look and study with Sima Cheng.
"The minister visited thirteen fiefs this time, six of them, because the feudal king participated in the coup d'Γ©tat, has been stripped of military power, and among the remaining seven, three of the sons succeeded their fathers, and generally speaking, the return of weapons was relatively smooth."
Snow set her eyes on the last few numbers, it seems, the numbers on this side are not small, in short, it is a good thing to have something to take back, so Snow praised:
"Lu Gongzi can recover so many weapons in such a short period of time, I really didn't misunderstand you!"
"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is what Weichen should do." Lu Yizhi replied.
Xue put down the list in her hand, this time, in addition to asking Lu Yizhi to collect weapons, she also asked him to convey the news of his return to the palace to inherit the unification to the fiefdoms, what is the reaction of the princes everywhere, this is what Xue is more concerned about, so she asked:
"What is the reaction of all the imperial uncles to my return to the palace to inherit the unification?"
