Chapter 53: Gaining Power
After entering the door, Song Xinghai saw the lady and son who came out, and grinned: "Madam, Li'er, I'm back." [Full text reading]"
A family of three came to the hall with a happy face and sat down, and the maid made three cups of tea and brought them up, and they chatted while sipping tea.
Song Xinghai was obviously also very excited, and repeated everything that happened in the court today to his wife and son. Because it is a personal experience, he said that he is much more detailed than huge, although he already knows the result, but the deceit and twists and turns during the period still make the mother and son listen to it with relish. When the Holy Emperor canonized him as the "King of Ming" and put him in charge of the three secret service divisions, both the mother and son applauded excitedly. Song Xinghai was full of praise for his son, and he also understood that this time he was able to become an official and a knight, and his son was the biggest hero. The whole process of the matter was basically the same as Song Li expected, and even the reactions of King Kang and the others were not much different. It seems that his son has seen all this in advance, and until now, Song Xinghai still feels amazing.
He also asked about this matter, and Song Li prevaricated with the fact that he had read similar books in the palace, and the couple did not suspect him. This is indeed the most reasonable explanation, the palace is the place where the struggle is most fierce in the world, Song Li has been reading in the palace since he was a child, and he has been exposed to it, and it is normal to have knowledge in this regard.
"Dad, what did His Majesty the Holy Emperor say when he left you and Wen Shoufu?" Song Li was more concerned about this matter.
Song Xinghai said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I just gave a few words of encouragement, let Wen Shoufu manage the cabinet well, let me rectify the three major secret service divisions, and jointly serve the Holy Lion Empire." There are some things that His Majesty the Holy Emperor didn't say too clearly, but after leaving the palace, Wen Shoufu reminded me, and he said that from today on, we are His Majesty's most powerful ministers, and we are his confidants, which is what His Majesty the Holy Emperor meant. Don't you know, Wen Shoufu is grateful to our family this time, saying that if it weren't for me, it would not be Huang Tingxuan who would be imprisoned but his Wen Liren. I told him that all this is due to Li'er, and he also shouted to thank him in person, and said that Li'er, you are young and promising, and your future is limitless. ”
Song Li rubbed his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, didn't I tell you not to give me out." At the beginning, we said that you said that King Kang's conspiracy was overheard by you, and this plan was also thought of by you. In this way, you can be reused in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. ”
Song Xinghai smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't say anything about you in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I just told Wen Shoufu." Wen Shoufu is a humble gentleman, and I can't bear to deceive him. ”
Alas, Song Li sighed, it seems that my father is not ready to become a politician, and treating people with sincerity is a good quality, but for politicians, it is not necessarily a good thing. If Wen Shoufu is a humble gentleman through and through, it is no wonder that he can climb to today's position. At heart, he's a politician. Unlike Wong, Wen Liren is a politician who is principled and idealistic, and is willing to do some practical things, but he is also proficient in all the tricks of politicians. If one day, he and Song Xinghai had a major conflict of power or interests, Song Li dared to guarantee that Wen Liren would decisively forget Song Xinghai's kindness to him and attack the Ming Wangfu desperately. This is not to say how bad the character of Wen Liren is, but in the eyes of a politician, interests are far more important than feelings.
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.
However, Song Li didn't expect his father to become dark and cunning all of a sudden, there were many things, he always had to come step by step, and he couldn't be in a hurry. Fortunately, Wen Shoufu is still honest and principled, if it is Huang Tingxuan's kind of person, he may sneak in front of the Holy Emperor to make a small report immediately after hearing the news, then Song Xinghai will inevitably be charged with "bullying the king". Obviously, it was your son who discovered the conspiracy, and it was your son's idea, but you insisted that you did it yourself, isn't this a deliberate attempt to deceive the Holy Emperor?
After all, the canonization of a prince is a big deal, the Holy Emperor only made such a verbal promise on the Golden Palace, and the holy decree will be issued afterwards, according to Song Li's words in his previous life, it is necessary to issue an official document, and there is a grand canonization ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, the palace was completely renewed, and the three big characters of "County King's Mansion" on the door number have been replaced with "Ming Wangfu", which has been renovated a lot inside and out, and it can be more magnificent than before. These were all built by the decree of the Holy Emperor and funded by the Ministry of Households. The standard of the prince's mansion is definitely different from the mansion of the county king, and now Song Xinghai is the rightful prince, and his mansion will naturally be renovated according to the prince's standards.
The traffic in front of the Ming Wang's Mansion is bustling and noisy. None of the ministers of civil and military affairs are fools, and their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a hound. His Majesty the Holy Emperor's preference for Song Xinghai can also be seen by idiots, and no one will let go of the opportunity to make friends with this hot fried chicken in the court. So before the ceremony began, I came to the palace early to celebrate.
In addition to Prince Zhong, King Jing, King Kang, as well as the Admiral of Jiumen, Duke Wei Guo and other Prince Zhong, the rest of the ministers are almost all present. Even if some people themselves belong to the line of Prince Zhong, they are not willing to give up this opportunity to make friends with King Ming, at least they can't let him hold a grudge. King Ming is not terrible, the three secret service divisions behind him are terrible, don't forget, the inspectorate is dedicated to supervising the minister, if the king of Ming doesn't like you, just find a reason to let the inspector deal with you, and you have to lose a layer of skin if you don't die.
In the past, there were many county kings' mansions, and there were few princes and ministers. Suddenly, it became so lively, and the people in the house were so busy that they were about to fly. Although I was a little unaccustomed to it, everyone was very happy in their hearts. Regardless, it's better to be respected than to be forgotten, isn't it?
Suddenly, so many guests came at once, and the manpower in the house was suddenly stretched. Song Li asked the brothers of the Justice League to come to help, and everywhere they saw the boss Song Li go, everyone was respectful, including those important ministers above the court, and they also had to respectfully call "Shizi", and they couldn't help but be very envious in their hearts. To be the boss is not in vain.
The chief chamberlain personally came to present the paper, giving the Ming Wangfu enough face. In the Holy Lion Empire, only the ceremony of canonizing the prince will be attended by the Holy Emperor in person, and the second highest specification is the presence of the chief attendant, who sent the chief attendant to present the paper and preside over the canonization ceremony, making it clear that he wanted to support Song Xinghai.
When the chief of the chamberlain read out the holy decree, all the ministers knelt down in unison, and at the same time shouted long live, they all understood in their hearts: a heavyweight political star is rising in the imperial capital. From then on, Song Xinghai was no longer a soy sauce party above the court, and he was an incompetent prince. He has become an important force in the political situation of the imperial capital, and no one dares to ignore him anymore.
No one knows why the prince of the county, who has always been indisputable, suddenly became sharp, like an ancient god soldier who had been buried for a long time, and was murderous after being unsheathed. Had he been holding back? Or had he been stimulated by something? If they had known that the man behind the creation of this rising political star was actually a 16-year-old boy, they didn't know how they would feel.
Song Li didn't want people to know about this, not because he was low-key, but because he knew one thing, the more majestic his father was, the more benefits he would have. The little prince is not someone who can be if he wants to, so he will do his best to help his father improve bravely in his career, and it is best to make a prince in the future, then his status will be even more prominent.
Of the ministers attending the meeting, only the head of the cabinet, Wen Liren, knew the secret. So his eyes couldn't help but revolve around Song Li, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this son was different, and he admired it in his heart: everyone else is a son who is noble by his father, but the prince of Ming does the opposite, he is a father and a son! Thinking of the unsuccessful son Wen Ruyu in the family, his heart is like a knife cut, although he knows that the brocade box that is enough to take him to hell was put by his son, but he still can't bear to execute him with his own hands. Just shut him up and let him think behind closed doors. Hopefully, after this incident, he will repent.
His own son can only corrupt the style, but the son of the prince can bring wealth to his father. Between sons and sons, why is the gap so big?
Prince Zhong's Mansion, Princess Annex, living room.
Long Ziyan sat in the center with a cold face, Song Mofei and Song Qingshan stood in front of him on the left and right, hanging their heads and not daring to say anything.
Song Qingshan's cheeks were high and swollen on both sides, and his already narrow eyes were about to become a slit. His face was pale, and he had the most ugly expression among the three.
"Song Qingshan, you just told me that you set up a bureau to lure Song Li to Langya Cave, and want to use the fire in the center of the earth to burn him to ashes?" Long Ziyan's voice was still so beautiful, but Song Qingshan could feel the coldness in it. He "chuckled" in his heart, the secret channel was broken, could it be that he would be wrong?
After it was determined that Song Li was burned to death that day, he wanted to report to the princess as soon as possible. But when the two of them came to Prince Zhong's mansion to meet them, Long Ziyan was in retreat and cultivating, and she didn't leave the customs until today. Looking at her expression, why did Song Qingshan feel that she was very angry? Didn't she want to kill Song Li?
Of course, Long Ziyan didn't want to kill Song Li, if she killed Song Li, who did she ask for that reborn secret? Even if she wanted to kill, she would kill her after asking. These two idiots, stupid like pig-headed three, actually misunderstood what she meant, it's really damned. If this wasn't Prince Zhong's mansion, she really wanted to slap these two idiots into meatloaf with one palm!
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Song Li fell for us, and rushed to Langya Cave alone to save people, not long after he entered, the fire in the center of the earth erupted, even if he escaped from the cave, he would be scorched. Song Mofei was not as clever as Song Qingshan, and he didn't feel that the atmosphere was very wrong, so he continued without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "No matter how you look at it, he has no possibility of escaping. But he appeared alive in the imperial capital, and became the prince of the Ming Dynasty, this thing is really fucking evil!"
