Chapter 136: The Jade Seal Scepter
After Li Yuanren heard his fourth brother say this, he withdrew the thorn in his eyes and said gently, "Since the fourth brother said so, do you have any objections to the second brother and third brother?"
"It's all at the behest of the eldest brother. ”
Li Yuanren was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed, "Okay, then we will have the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, oh no, I said it wrong, after my father has passed the first seven, we will discuss the matter of enthronement, do you brothers have any objections?"
"It's all at the behest of the eldest brother. ”
"Well, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you, I want to gradually withdraw the power of the prime minister and re-exercise the power of the king, what do you think, brothers?"
"Huh?" Li Yuande thought he hadn't heard clearly, "Big brother, did you say that you want to take back your power and re-exercise the power of the Heavenly King?"
"Yes, does the fourth brother have objections?" Li Yuanren glanced at him and said with his hand playing with the jade seal.
"That's not good, big brother, this is a system set by our father himself, and it is returned to the people, if you want to take it back, I don't think the Senate and the House of Representatives will agree to it. Li Yuande replied with a frown.
And Li Yuandao sat there with his eyes closed, looking indifferent, and the second prince Li Yuanyi looked at his eldest brother with a look of admiration, with some fanaticism in his eyes.
"Hmph, what about the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Celestial Empire is our Li family, we can give it away if we want to give it back, and if we want to take it back, we can naturally take it back. Li Yuanren slapped the table, "It's been twenty years, I think it's okay, since returning to the people, you have also seen that the status of the Celestial Empire on the international stage has plummeted." ”
Seeing that Li Yuande didn't speak, the eldest prince continued, "Even the defeated country dares to make a decision with us, and our Celestial Empire has less and less right to speak. Most of the Yinwu family is in our hands, and the second brother and fourth brother still hold military power, so we can't tolerate the presumptuous old guys in the two courts. ”
The more Li Yuanren spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes lit up, and he put down the jade seal, "A manly man, when he stands up to the sky and the earth, he should have an awe-inspiring domineering spirit that does not give way! Isn't this what my father taught us when I was a child?"
"In the world of life, it is as small as dust, it is longer than the forest, its fate is the same as grass mustard, the ordinariness of life, and the loneliness of death is their fate in life. Our Li family, the destiny of heaven, the true dragon son of heaven, the grass and trees are still competing for glory and beauty, not to mention the true dragon son of heaven? I want to reshock the prestige of our Li family, how about it, brothers, do it with me. Li Yuanren waved his arms, as if the world had taken his hands.
"Fourth brother, when I announce the return of power, I don't need you to do anything, you just need to stay still, is this okay? After I take over the world, you and your second brother will be the chief and deputy marshals of the world's soldiers and horses. The third brother will be in charge of religion, and the four of us brothers will be on the dragon chair again, and when the time comes, the emperor and we will take turns to do it, can we?
"Big brother, time is a little rushed, my father has just been killed, and the murderer has not yet been brought to justice, so it's not appropriate for us to talk about these things now, right?
"What? You don't listen to your eldest brother, how does your eldest brother usually take care of us? You ungrateful thing. The second prince, Li Yuanyi, slapped the table and stood up, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and yelled at Li Yuande.
"Second brother, how can you say that about the fourth, no matter what, don't forget, we are brothers. The eldest prince Li Yuanren glared at him and reprimanded.
"Yes, big brother, I just can't get used to seeing the fourth child's lifeless appearance, I have to calculate everything before I make a move, so won't the daylily be cold by then?"
"Hehe, fourth brother, don't pay attention to your second brother, he is a hot temper, since the fourth brother has spoken, let's discuss it later." Li Yuanren said with a smile, but his eyes were full of obscurity.
"Well, those brothers, I'll go first. The fourth prince, Li Yuande, stood up and bowed his hand to his three elder brothers.
The second prince Li Yuanyi snorted coldly, continued to pinch his cigarette, and ignored it, at this time, the third prince Li Yuandao, who had not spoken, opened his eyes and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, fourth brother, I will also leave with you." After that, he stood up and came to Li Yuande with a whoosh, "Let's go!"
Without waiting for the eldest prince to speak, the two walked out with their shoulders hooked.
When they were far away, Li Yuanyi said, "Big brother, why did you just let the fourth child go? In case he returned to the Southern Military Region, it would be far away from the emperor and the sea would be wide and let him fly, and it would not be easy to hold him in his hands at that time." ”
"Hmph, don't you want to be me? Don't talk about the hidden guard behind him just now, as far as the third child's current cultivation is concerned, I can't see the depth anymore, if I make a difficulty, who in the third gang may not be able to say. So, let's take a long-term view of this matter. As long as we can say that the fourth brother will not move on the day I regain power, we will be done. Li Yuanren looked at the gate of the courtyard resentfully, and said unwillingly.
"The third child has always been obsessed with cultivation, regardless of worldly things, eldest brother, are you also a little too careful?" said the second prince with some dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that you have too little military power in your hands, why would we discuss with him, and when the filial piety period is over, I will announce my accession to the throne and take back the power of the two houses at that time, as long as he does not object, the rest will be up to you. Li Wuren returned to his seat, picked up the scepter and jade seal, and shouted, "Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi!"
As the words fell, two people walked out of the guard room, "You follow the fourth prince, and if you have the opportunity, bring him to me." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi took the order and left.
Li Yuanren suddenly remembered something, and said to the second prince who was still there puffing cigarettes, "Second brother, you go back now to control the situation in the Northern Military Region, the officers above the battalion level must completely obey your command, and I will let Chu Lao go to the Western Military Region, if Wang Xianfeng's old guy doesn't know how to practice, there is no need to live." ”
"Got it, you better fix the mess in the Western Military Region, otherwise something goes wrong, and we will never recover. The second prince, Li Yuanyi, stepped on the fireworks, and then lit another cigarette before standing up and walking out.
After Li Yuanyi also walked away, Li Yuanren looked at the scepter and jade seal in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "It's finally here, Lao Tzu ascended the throne in his fifties, and there is no such sad prince in history." As he muttered to himself, the scepter and jade seal in his hand disappeared from his hand.
