Chapter 745: The Court's Discussion
When the sun slowly rose, the sleeping city of Yizhou finally woke up. The people who rested for the night also walked out of their homes one after another to start a busy day, since the people of the imperial capital and the royal nobles moved to the imperial capital, the entire Yizhou City has fallen into an extraordinary busyness. Yizhou City is also very lively, countless people and soldiers are scattered in the city, the Thorn Mansion has also been temporarily converted into a palace, Emperor Ximen Ye has lived in, a large number of nobles who followed Liu Fan to Yizhou were placed in the city, and the city was newly built. After Liu Fan returned to the imperial capital with the army, he was also very excited to see his family, especially seeing that several of his princesses had children, Liu Fan's heart had a sense of belonging to this shijie.
The bell rang for the first time in the temporary palace Assassin's Mansion to convene important ministers, and Liu Fan also put on the court's clothes early at home and waited at home. Today is the day of the first court meeting, almost all the officials have to gather in the court, this is also a court meeting after the court moved out of the imperial capital, so the whole scene is very solemn. Today, almost all the nobles have to follow Liu Fan to the court, and now everyone knows that Liu Fan is the real master of this empire, and all the courts are under Liu Fan's control. It is impossible to say what kind of traitor Liu Fan is, he was originally the prince title of the imperial court, and the title of King Pingxi was also inherited by Liu Fan, and now the army of the whole empire is under Liu Fan's command, and Liu Fan naturally has no criticism for becoming the master of this empire.
Knock knock, the imperial drum at the entrance of the palace rang out under the beating of several soldiers, Zhao Gao walked quickly to the door and shouted to the people who were already waiting at the door: "Go to court!" The important ministers who had been waiting at the door followed Liu Fan one after another. Liu Fan is in the first place, which has formed a consensus among everyone. Although many of these nobles are far more than Liu Fan in terms of actual qualifications and age. The Thorn Mansion is far less than half the size of the Great Ming Palace. Therefore, it is impossible to accommodate all the courtiers, only those important ministers of the empire have the opportunity to enter the interior of the Assassin's Mansion, and there are only a few people who are qualified to enter it, except for the four kings, that is, the other two princes' families of the royal family, and there are Liu Fan's subordinates, Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Gao, who are standing by Ximenye's side on the left and right. Ximen Ye, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had now figured it out, if Liu Fan didn't want him to do it. He can not do it at any time, ruling this empire is far less good than a carefree prince, Simon Ye is ambitious, but he is also very self-aware.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the situation in front of you, tell me. After everyone finished saluting, Simon Ye looked at everyone lightly and said, he glanced at the courtiers in this hall, at least half of them were ordered by him Simon Ye, maybe those old nobles would listen to Simon Ye's orders for the sake of the past. However, Liu Fan's subordinates would never pay attention to any orders from Ximenye, and even the two people standing beside him accepted any orders from Ximenye at all. Fortunately, Ximen Ye is also self-aware, especially after seeing his sister, he has no hope for Zuihou. Of course, he still has a wish in his heart, which is to win this position for his soon-to-be-born nephew.
"Your Majesty, now that our army is difficult to withdraw, the north of the empire is all in the hands of the enemy. Our army is overwhelmed, and the weight of grain and grass is even more innumerable, so it is better for us to cultivate and recuperate. Wang Xiaotian, the king of Pingnan, stood up and said to everyone, and the courtiers standing aside also echoed their words, and everyone knew very well in their hearts that today's court meeting was just an overbirth, and all the jihua had actually been jihuahaode before. Even if Wang Xiaotian doesn't say it, Liu Fan himself will propose to recuperate, it is better to buy Liu Fan than this, you must know that Liu Fan and everyone still have a marriage contract in hand.
"Aiqing's words are in line with my wishes, but I feel that just recuperation is far from enough, I also want to take out the money in the inner treasury to reward the whole army, reward meritorious soldiers, compensate the fallen soldiers, and give amnesty to the world, what do you think?" Ximen Ye looked at Liu Fan with a smile, now the power of the court is concentrated on Liu Fan's body, rewarding meritorious soldiers and compensating the fallen soldiers are suspected of buying the hearts of the army, and now the army is Liu Fan's, if this matter is carried out in the name of the royal family, it is natural to ask Liu Fan what he means, especially the things that are rewarded to the generals are still taken out of the emperor's inner treasury, if there is no nod and consent from Liu Fan, there is naturally no way to implement this matter without Liu Fan's nod and consent.
"Qi Bixia, Your Majesty has no opinion. Liu Fan stepped forward and whispered to Ximen Ye, no matter what, the current royal family is their own, Ximen Yan and Ximen Ye have privately asked Liu Fan several times when he can take over the throne. And Guo Jia and others think that Liu Fan's opportunity to take over the throne has not yet come, and it is not appropriate to take over the throne now. This time, Ximen Ye proposed to take the initiative to reward the three armies, which can be regarded as solving Liu Fan's current troubles, and now there is not much money and food in the treasury, and there are still a large number of victims in Youzhou in front of him who need to be appeased. Ximenye was able to take the initiative to offer to reward the three armies, and use the royal family's inner treasury to reward the three armies, which undoubtedly solved a big problem for Liu Fan at present.
"Okay, since the master doesn't object, this matter will be handed over to Di Renjie, the head of the household department, and you will be fully responsible. "Ximen Ye also knows that Liu Fan is short of money, and those officials in the household department have almost stepped on Liu Fan's threshold in the past few days, Liu Fan has also been raising grain and grass everywhere these days, and almost all the noble families have run through, and even from Xuzhou and Bingzhou, some money and grain have been transferred from Xuzhou and Bingzhou, and even Yanzhou, which has just been pacified, has provided Liu Fan with a part of the grain and grass supplement, but the money and grain of these three state capitals are limited after all, and there is no way to provide Liu Fan with enough grain and grass support, and now Liu Fan is completely overwhelmed by money and grain. The inner treasury of the royal family is rich, and it is very rich, but this money is not Liu Fan's after all, even if Liu Fan is a member of the royal family, but it is the private property of the emperor, and no one can take it out if the emperor is unwilling to take it out, Liu Fan is not without the idea of beating the imperial treasury, and Liu Fan is embarrassed to speak.
Now that Ximen Ye took the initiative to take out the money and reward the three armies, it can be regarded as a great relief for Liu Fan, Liu Fan glanced at Ximen Ye and saw that Ximen Ye smiled faintly at Liu Fan, Liu Fan keenly found something from Ximen Ye's gaze, and Liu Fan also instantly understood, this must be Ximen Ye and Ximen Yan discussing in private, otherwise Ximen Ye would not have thought of such a complicated problem at a young age. Liu Fan gave Ximen Ye a questioning look, and Ximen Ye immediately nodded at Liu Fan knowingly, Liu Fan instantly understood what was going on, and behind all this was indeed the shadow of Ximen Yan standing. If there is really a good wife in the family, it is better than an army of 100,000.
Everyone discussed the current situation again, the most important of which was to determine Liu Fan's title, the Liu family and the Ximen family were originally a family, and what kind of title Ximen Ye gave Liu Fan this time was also a more important matter. After discussing for a while, everyone finally decided to give Liu Fan the title of prince, but in fact, this title is not in line with the rules, Liu Fan also carries the title of the prince of Pingxi, if Liu Fan is given a prince's title, it is obviously not in line with the etiquette system, but now the entire court is under Liu Fan's control, and Liu Fan himself has the final say. Liu Fan got the title of a prince, and the rest of the families had fallen nobles, so naturally there were children who inherited their titles.
"Brother-in-law, I said you don't look at me with such eyes, my heart is empty. After the court meeting ended, Liu Fan took Ximen Ye to the back hall, and when Ximen Ye looked at Liu Fan's naked gaze in the back hall, he suddenly felt empty in his heart. However, Ximenye's reaction was still very fast, and he hurriedly took a step back to escape Liu Fan's Chiguoguo's gaze.
"Bastard boy, did your sister say something to you?" Liu Fan stared at Ximen Ye deadly, although Ximen Ye took out money to reward the three armies, it still made Liu Fan feel a little uncomfortable, Ximen Ye, this kid quietly took out more than half of the money in the inner treasury to reward the three armies, there must be some purpose.
"Brother-in-law, isn't this because you have a lot of wrinkles on your face that have been caused by money recently, so you are thinking of a way to solve them?" Simon Yepi said to Liu Fan with a smile: "As for my sister, what do you have to tell me, what my sister wants to tell me, don't you tell your brother-in-law about you? But brother-in-law, as soon as you say that I am still serious, I need to ask you to help me with something." ”
"I knew that your kid's belly full of fancy intestines must have some idea. Say, what do you want to do?" Liu Fan looked at Ximen Ye with a solemn face, and Ximen Ye smirked twice.
"Brother-in-law, you see that I don't have anything to do in this palace every day, why don't you send me to the army to hone and hone?"
"You're going to the army?"
"Brother-in-law, don't think about it, I want to go to the army purely to exercise yourself, don't think too much. Ximen Ye saw Liu Fan's brows furrowed instantly, and quickly explained.
"Okay, since you want to be in the army, the junior barracks of the Shenwu Army are going to reopen recently, so you can also report to the juvenile barracks. ”
"Haode, thank you brother-in-law. When Ximen Ye saw that Liu Fan agreed, he was immediately satisfied, he, the emperor, had already done enough, and he could finally do what he wanted to do the most. (To be continued......)
