Chapter 175: Sealing the Phase
In the dormitory of Taihe Palace, He Wanqing hurriedly entered, and said to Li Ji with his ear: "Check it out, only at the beginning, His Royal Highness the Prince went in to visit the prison and sent a meal to the Taifu, nothing happened at that time, last night, he said that his body was weak, and there were rats bitten and the fever was gone." β
"There are so many rats, why do you bite him!" Li Ji sneered, and the palace maid knelt on the ground and was sorting out Li Ji's dragon robe.
He Wanqing was also strange, and said: "I went to the test, saying that it was caused by illness, saying that there were too many things, and the pain of Mrs. Zhao's loss of his son back then made his body and bones not good, so ...... I can't bear it when I'm sick. β
Since a man is dead, there is no proof of death.
Li Ji had a little guess in his heart about who did it, Taifu Zhao was a coward, not a coward. There has never been such a thing in the past, and this time I couldn't resist the temptation when I gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, and the amount was smaller in the past, and this time it was a full 100,000 taels of silver.
Fortunately, the money rushed to the treasury.
Li Ji said: "The rest of them, interrogate them well, be careful not to start too heavy, if nothing substantial comes out, they will all be cut." β
"The old slave understood." He Wanqing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to go to court." β
"Let's go." Li Ji said coldly.
In an idle room in the Tai'an Palace, a group of white-robed jinshi were guarding here, waiting to meet the emperor, Li Zhengyan stood by the window alone, exuding an aura that no one approached. This feeling scared off the Jinshi who originally wanted to climb the relationship.
A treacherous voice sounded in the distance, and the early dynasty began.
"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." He Wanqing shouted highly.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the people who have passed this time have come out, among them, the first champion is General Li Zhengyan, the second is Wang Ziyan, and the third is Chen Qingfeng......"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu reported a series of names, Li Ji nodded, and He Wanqing shouted: "Xuanjia Jinshi enters the hall." β
Only the first thirty people came in, and only the top thirty were reported by the Ministry of Rites, and the rest of the people behind had already reported to the emperor, and they had also issued orders outside the city.
It's just that the names of the top three were not announced to the public at the beginning, and they will be announced after this court meeting.
After reporting one, someone will come out of the list, after Li Ji listened, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and waved his hand: "A month ago, I wanted to reward General Li as the left of the dynasty, is there any point in the Zhongqing family." β
The hundred officials led by Youcheng all turned towards Li Zhengyan, and bowed to Li Zhengyan one after another: "Congratulations to Lord Li." β
This is because Li Zhengyan has not been officially canonized, so he is called Li Zhengyan.
Li Zhengyan bowed his head and returned the salute to the hundred officials. Originally, as long as you pass the exam, you can seal the photo, but most people here can't imagine that Li Zhengyan is so brave and hits the champion!
These Jinshi finally understand now why all the officials went to Li Zhengyan to congratulate him, because he was the prime minister of the dynasty!
Li Zhengyan ignored the hundred officials, his face was calm, and he bowed down and asked: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do, please play." β
"Accurate!" Li Ji was happy in his heart, as long as Li Zhengyan didn't say anything and didn't marry a wife, he would agree to anything.
Even the officials led by Shen Tianyun suddenly became nervous in their hearts, staring at Li Zhengyan, who had not made any requests since the beginning of the martial arts. Now that he has become prime minister, the prime minister's seal and documents have not yet come down, and he doesn't know what rectification or other things he has to propose.
Shen Tianyun is old enough to be Li Zhengyan's father, but now that he is below Li Zhengyan, he feels that he has been slapped in the face.
Li Zhengyan said: "The first point is that Weichen feels that the current place of the General's Mansion is enough, and the emperor does not need to give Weichen the Prime Minister's Mansion to avoid being too extravagant." β
The scale of the Prime Minister's Mansion is much larger than the General's Mansion, and Li Zhengyan's mansion is inevitably a little too small, but Li Zhengyan intends to be frugal, Li Ji is happy in his heart, and said: "The left minister is for the country and the people, it is really the blessing of all the people, since the left minister has a request, I will definitely meet it!" However, since you are the prime minister, you will change the name of the general's mansion to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and in addition, there is an empty house next to the mansion, which I will give you together, and then give you a hundred taels of gold, ten treasures, ten rosewood, and ten rosewood, for you to use as additions. β
Li Yanlin was slightly stunned, this reward is really ...... Together with the hundred officials, they were shocked, the rumors of the emperor's favor for Li Zhengyan were really true, if you don't change the mansion, you won't change the mansion, don't talk about the gold, the treasure doesn't say what kind of treasure it is, and it costs a hundred taels of silver to say less. Rosewood and rosewood are even more expensive.
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and the 100,000 taels of silver that Li Yanlin and they didn't get for so hard work will watch the money flow into Li Zhengyan's pocket this time!
Li Zhengyan bowed, and he was not in a hurry to kneel down and thank him, he didn't want to change the mansion, just because he felt troublesome, the Qimen gossip in the general's mansion, and the seven steps and one scene designed by himself, if you want to change a place, you have to re-plan and design, these projects don't know I'm afraid it will take another two years, he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." One hundred taels of gold, Weichen felt that he was really ashamed. β
"Prime Minister Zuo signed a hundred-year peace for the Great Zhou and Tugu, with Prime Minister Zuo in one day, the Great Zhou and Tugu will never go to war, and I will not reward you last time. This Prime Minister Zuo was completely obtained by Prime Minister Zuo's strength, and this time I just borrowed a reward for a reason, how could I deserve it. Li Ji had a smile on his face, even the princes rarely saw their father smile like this.
Li Zhengyan followed Li Ji's words and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the people along the Yellow River are being affected by the disaster, the people are displaced, and they don't even drink porridge, how can they receive this reward with peace of mind." β
"What?" Li Ji drank heavily, and he said angrily: "Right Minister, what's going on!" I will leave the matter of the Yellow River flood to you to deal with, and General Li said what is going on! β
Shen Tianyun never expected that Li Zhengyan proposed the Yellow River flood, and immediately came out and said: "Back to the emperor, the Yellow River flood, Weichen has been dealing with the official state capital Zhao Dehan along the Yellow River, and His Royal Highness King Ning also went to see it, Lord Zhao managed the Yellow River properly, and the emperor must still remember the matter of returning to the emperor." Weichen really doesn't know what Zuo Xiang means. β
When the new official took office, Li Zhengyan just took the position of the left minister, and a fire burned directly to the right minister, he and the right minister were one left and one right, the two faced the side, Li Zhengyan could clearly feel that Shen Tianyun seemed to be clenching his fists.
Li Zhengyan sneered, full of deterrence: "Weichen used to be a military attachΓ©, and many things are inconvenient to manage, since you have become the left minister, the right minister, and the prime minister has raised a problem, you should check and verify whether what the prime minister said is true, instead of blindly shirking responsibility here and questioning your subordinates!" β
