Chapter 565: The Strategy of Cutting the Domain
The canonization of the East Palace is a fortunate event for the country, the whole country celebrates, and the people rejoice together in the days when the emperors issued an amnesty to the world at the same time. Today is the East Palace, and after a long period of time, everyone will see the prince again. With the support of the new prince, Emperor Li stepped on the Dan Majesty and sat down on the dragon chair, and he did not feel that Emperor Li was old on weekdays. There is a big difference between this meeting, the future son of heaven's eyes are full of light, his posture is as tall as a pine, and the whole person exudes a feeling of high spirits. On the other hand, the old emperor already had gray hair, a rickety and trembling body, not to mention that his body made people feel lifeless.
Ye Linchen had already been asked to handle the affairs of the court on his behalf, and after the canonization of the crown prince, he directly ordered Ye Linchen to supervise the country. He took advantage of the tiring work of the coronation ceremony and the fact that he had been seriously ill before, and his body was not well and needed to recuperate, and he issued an edict to exempt him from 12 days.
After moving into the East Palace, Ye Linchen almost never stopped, and even Huangfu Ling and Jiang Yan beside him were very busy. In addition, Emperor Li's will to urge him to choose the crown princess was also conveyed to the East Palace, but he did not have the slightest intention of responding, and buried himself in government affairs all day long.
is different from the former prince's way of doing things, Ye Linchen has always been accustomed to acting vigorously and resolutely, and he doesn't like to listen to people in front of him. I heard that there were people who had the courage to stuff gifts into the East Palace, and they were also severely reprimanded. On the basis of judging things and paying attention to the effect, he also controlled the new policy and the old revolution very well, and now the entire government maintains a delicate balance.
Of course, there are also things that make him embarrassed, such as the disaster in the old years and the deficit of the national treasury, and the successive emperors came up with the idea of removing the real position of the clan and giving him a false title to relieve the pressure on the imperial court. Although it did not achieve the reduction of the domain, this move is undoubtedly to use a knife on the clan, to descend to the next generation, to reduce the income, how can the old people in the clan give up. But dealing with the clan is not a flattering thing in all dynasties, not to mention that the Great Calendar has been a country for a long time, and the royal family is naturally close to each other, and there are many places where it is impossible to still follow the old system to raise these people.
Emperor Li had this idea of cutting the feudal domain earlier, but in the final analysis, they are all of the same ancestral bloodline, and it is difficult to move in human feelings. It is this matter that has been plaguing Emperor Li, and in the past, King Shou and the crown prince were worried that they would mess things up, and when the time came, it would be fatal to the Great Calendar to make a rebellion of the Eight Kings. This time, taking advantage of the new establishment of the prince, the group of clans under him was not fully familiar with it and it was the time when he was in high spirits, he threw away this hot potato, and he was called the prince of experience.
This matter was thankless, and after hearing the news, those clans asked the wives to come to Concubine Hui. When gossiping is commonplace, he blushes and begs Concubine Hui to talk more in front of Ye Linchen, so that Ye Linchen can raise his noble hand so as not to hurt the harmony of the family. At the beginning, Concubine Hui would meet a few, but they all smiled and blocked people back, and the people who came back later were all closed, and they directly asked Qingtan to tell them that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.
Those people didn't dare to make trouble in front of Ye Linchen, and wanted to go to Emperor Li to complain in order to arouse Emperor Li's mercy. Where would I have thought that Emperor Li would not see them, only saying that this matter has been handed over to the crown prince. How the prince will make up his mind is the prince's business, and I will only see the method drafted by the prince at the end.
When the clan relatives heard this, they were even more worried, where did they dare to go to the East Palace to meet them. I only hope that this prince will not be so desperate and give them a way to live. However, there were also times when they were happy, three days after knowing the news, the prince suddenly summoned Li Qi and Lu Lingshan, saying that they had something to ask for advice, and the clan relatives heard that they all went to visit and asked them to say good things in front of the prince. Although the two did not shy away from them, they did not say anything when they heard their request, and even sent them out in person.
Although the clan relatives couldn't figure out what these two were thinking, they could only pin their hopes on them.
In fact, after more than half a month of planning, Ye Linchen has almost drawn up the plan. This time, Li Qi and Lu Lingshan were invited to come because they were well-known in the court and had popularity among the clansmen, and they wanted to use the two of them to appease the clansmen so as not to provoke unnecessary disputes.
When Li and Lu were summoned in the East Palace. Emperor Li ordered people to go out of the palace to Xie Mansion to summon Xie Yaoguang, who had been comfortable in Beijing for a long time, after hearing the will, Zhang Ke couldn't figure out what Emperor Li meant, so he secretly kept an eye on himself, and sent his henchmen to the palace to inform Concubine Hui, and at the same time sent someone to the East Palace to inform Ye Linchen.
In the Xie Mansion, after Xie Yaoguang respectfully accepted the will, he immediately changed into slightly formal clothes and entered the palace to meet Emperor Li. Like last time, the palace sent a sedan chair over, but this time it didn't make any stops at the palace gate, but sent people directly to the gate of the Lizheng Palace. Looking up at the plaque of the Lizheng Hall in front of her, Xie Yaoguang had a trace of suspicion in her eyes, but she was quickly covered up in Gujing Wubo's eyes.
"Miss Xie, our family doesn't know why His Majesty suddenly summoned you. Please be careful. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking around, Zhang Ke lowered his voice and said.
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang bowed his head slightly and said softly: "If there is Lao Zhang's father-in-law to mention it, I will be careful." ”
After the words fell, Xie Yao straightened the folds on the hem of his flat shirt and walked towards the Lizheng Palace, and as soon as the chamberlain saw her coming, he immediately pushed open the door of the hall and bowed down to greet her. As soon as she entered, she closed the door of the hall again, and when she heard the sound, she looked back at the closed door behind her, Xie Yaoguang hooked her lips slightly, smiled, raised her eyebrows, and stepped inside.
Emperor Li sat on the dragon chair in the hall and looked at the familiar person in front of him, thinking that most of the wind and rain in Beijing were related to her, and Emperor Li's eyes sank suddenly.
"Weichen Xie Yaoguang knocks on Your Majesty." Xie Yaoguang folded his knees and raised his head to look at the scrutinizing gaze of the previous emperors, still maintaining an extremely gentle smile on his face.
Emperor Li didn't tell her to get up, so she naturally didn't dare to get up, but under the pressure of Emperor Li's cold gaze. Xie Yaoguang didn't show any panic or even a change in his facial expression, and maintained an extremely gentle smile from beginning to end.
After taking a deep breath, Emperor Li waved his hand and motioned for Xie Yaoguang to get up, "You get up." I have something I want to ask you, if you have any place to deceive me, you will be killed! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know what His Majesty wants to ask Weichen? Scanning Emperor Li's eyes, the corners of Xie Yaoguang's lips hooked slightly, "Weichen must know everything and say everything." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Emperor Li stood up and scolded angrily.
The words of reprimand fell into his ears, and the smile in Xie Yaoguang's eyes only increased, seeing her slowly flexing her fingers and flicking her sleeves, her tone was soft, "Your Majesty, this is interesting, if I am not Xie Yaoguang, who else can I be?" Isn't Your Majesty sick and confused? ”
