Chapter 128: The Great Change

"What Taifu said is extremely true, every prince today has made great achievements for the imperial court, and his qualifications are enough to serve the public, if Wang Hao is made a marquis now, it is not in line with the etiquette and the law!"

The Ministry of Rites was still in the list, showing the carriages and horses, and made it clear that he did not support Wang Hao as a marquis.

Seeing this, the rest of the Confucian ministers expressed their opinions one after another, and their opinions were unprecedentedly unified.

For a time, all Confucian representatives, including the Three Princes, were opposed, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for Wang Hao.

"The merit of repairing the fortune of the country is enough to make me a marquis, but the most important thing is to cultivate. ”

Wang Hao looked at the scene in front of him coldly, his expression calm.

"If you only look at the merits of the emperor, you can give me the title of prince at the beginning, but because of my cultivation, it was delayed, and now the shortcomings of cultivation have been made up, and it is imperative to be a marquis. ”

He knew that the scene of the Hundred Officials Dynasty Hall was actually just a formality, and even if the Confucian ministers objected, they could not change the result.

"Qualifications? Do you have to wait until half of your body is in the ground before you can be crowned a marquis? If this is the standard for marquis, wouldn't it be a joke for the first champion Hou?"

At this time, the king of Tianqian spoke.

His voice exploded like thunder, and the originally noisy hall of the Hundred Officials Dynasty suddenly fell silent.

"King Tianqian's words are wrong, the first champion Hou Yongguan three armies, conquered the barbarians, successfully laid down the land of the three mansions, and created the territory of my Han Dynasty today, and finally sealed the wolf Juxu's exploits in the annals of history, if it weren't for his untimely death, the king would be more than enough, could it be that the king of Tianqian felt that Wang Hao's merits could be compared with the first champion Hou?"

A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament spoke, his demeanor was calm, and he was not shocked, he was the Dazai of the dynasty, mainly responsible for taking care of the government, and all the Confucian students in the world came from his disciples.

Therefore, among the three princes, Dazai has the highest status and is the most respected.

"I'm not against Wang Hao being crowned a marquis, he can break through to the Seven Star Realm at such an age and will definitely be able to make a marquis in the future, but I don't think the time has come now. ”

Dazai's words are so well-founded that it is impossible to refute them.

"If Wang Hao is forcibly made a marquis, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and when the people are unstable, the national fortunes will also be impacted, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back his fate. ”

Dazai looked at Emperor Tenmu with a firm gaze without the slightest hint of dodging.

He stood in righteousness against Wang Hao's feudal marquis, and Emperor Tianwu claimed to be the first emperor of the ages, so he would never go against the general trend of the world.

At this moment, all the military representatives are regretting, they have seen the end, King Tianqian was originally well-intentioned, erasing the influence of Wang Hao's age on the marquis, but he forgot how the first champion Hou was so beautiful, who in the world dares to compare with him, the most important point is that Wang Hao's work in repairing the national fortune is really top secret and cannot be disclosed, which makes it much more difficult to be a marquis.

Wang Hao didn't say a word, and his mood was not even affected.

"But it's not hopeless, recently the emperor has changed his previous style and frequently asked about politics, if he insists on this matter, it will be a foregone conclusion. ”

Wang Hao thought about it, in fact, he was not very interested in whether he could be a marquis now, in the face of strength, the official position was only a secondary thing, such as the three sect leaders, they had no military merits, and they would inevitably be crowned princes after they returned to obedience.

"I've made up my mind, and there's no need to discuss this matter anymore. ”

Emperor Tianwu spoke, and sure enough, he was not affected by Dazai's words.

As soon as these words came out of the hall, Emperor Tianwu insisted on going his own way, and he was no longer the previous Emperor of the ages.

"The emperor thinks twice, the people's hearts are not convinced by the national movement, and it is not good for the court!"

The Confucian ministers were excited, and even knelt directly on the ground and kept kowtowing to make their ambitions clear.

Since the reign of Confucianism, the affairs of the feudal marquis have always been decided by them, and most of the emperors and the military can only put forward some opinions, and there has never been such a situation today.

"The emperor, the rules cannot be abolished, if a precedent is set today, the world only thinks that His Majesty is nepotistic, and the court decree is clear!"

The three princes spoke fiercely, and since ancient times, the emperor's mind has been balanced, even if he is optimistic about a certain person, he will choose to avoid suspicion instead of rewarding him, and even do not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of many ministers.

However, Emperor Tianwu turned a blind eye to this, he looked at Wang Hao, and said: "From now on, Wang Hao, the general of Zhenguo, will be appointed as the Marquis of Zhenguo, and it will be announced to the world." ”

"Minister, take the order!"

Wang Hao bowed down and accepted it calmly.

"Crazy, crazy, the emperor is autocratic, and the court is smoky, is this the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty that I want to see?"

Several old Confucian scholars howled and wailed, and then they slammed straight into the pillar to make their will clear.

Blood mixed with brains stained the ground red, how tragic this scene was.

Emperor Tianwu was calm, he had the ability to prevent this from happening, but he didn't do it.

Soon, several guards entered the main hall to clean up the bloodstains, and took away the corpses of several old Confucian by the way.

Seeing this scene, the Confucian ministers were sad in their hearts, and the three princes glanced at each other, faintly guessing something, and then took a step forward at the same time.

"Your Majesty, we are very old, and we have felt a little powerless when dealing with political affairs recently, and I hope that the Emperor will agree to our resignation from the post of the Third Prince. ”

The three of them already had the intention of retreating and wanted to leave the court whirlpool.

"The three dukes have contributed to the imperial court and the society, how can they easily abdicate and make way for the virtuous?"

Emperor Tianwu shook his head and continued, "Besides, I'm worried that if there are no three people in the imperial court, I'm worried that there will be no leader. ”

Although he was trying to keep what he heard just now, who was not a human spirit here, how could he not hear the meaning of Emperor Tianwu's words.

The three dukes can go, but the normal operation of the court must be ensured.

"There are still nine Qings in the imperial court, and there are six ministries, even if we retreat, it will not have any impact. ”

The three dukes were almost desperate, they worked hard for the court and did their best, but they didn't expect to end up like this.

"Although you have resigned from the position of the third duke, you still can't leave the court, and I will set up a senior cabinet in the future, and I still need the three of you to control it. ”

Emperor Tianwu already had an idea in his heart, and it was just right to eradicate the three princes with the help of Wang Hao's marquis today.

He had long expected that Confucianism would vigorously oppose Wang Hao's feudal marquis, so he would make a plan and vigorously weaken the influence of Confucianism in the court.

At this moment, many people in the hall have a feeling of being a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, and the actions of Emperor Tianwu really chilled the heart of Confucianism.

"The three princes are just a pretense to control the senior cabinet, but in fact they don't have any rights, the main purpose is to make the world feel at ease, but what is the reason for the emperor to suddenly make a big move against Confucianism?"

Wang Hao was in a heavy mood, Emperor Tianwu had indeed achieved his goal, but he had put Wang Hao in an unkind and unjust place.
