King of Side by Side
Author: Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night
King of Side by Side
Lin Su entered the palace, dressed in the uniform of a fourth-grade magistrate, and knelt down: "See your majesty!"
"Lin Aiqing, come closer!"
Lin Su walked forward step by step until he was level with Lu Tiancong, Zhang Juzheng and others.
His Majesty stood up slowly: "Declaration!"
The chief eunuch raised his hand and read the imperial edict: "By God's will, Emperor Da Cang issued an edict: Lin Su, suppress the officialdom in the country, promote the country's prestige in foreign lands, expand the territory in the north, open up the way of literature to the top, achieve unparalleled achievements, and become famous far and wide...
…Seal with the word King Wen! Under the order of King Wen, all officials under supervision will be dismissed if I come in person. If you are under the fifth rank, you can be dismissed by the king’s order! If you are below the second rank, you can be dismissed first and then report! Grant this!"
The whole palace was shocked!
Both Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng opened their eyes wide!
It's not like they haven't discussed what kind of official title Lin Su would be given. Their wildest idea was to make him a king.
Today, I was granted the title of king, a one-word king, which is in line with their predictions.
But, this is not just a one-word king!
This is the king of side by side!
What does it mean to be a king side by side? Side by side with the emperor!
In other words, from now on, he does not need to kneel to the emperor, he only needs to salute. When he comes to court, he is legally allowed to sit side by side with the emperor!
In another case, the imperial edict specifically stated that Lin Su had the power to supervise the officialdom. He could directly dismiss officials below the fifth rank, and he could also dismiss officials below the second rank first and then resign.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has had such extreme power!
Not to mention that everyone in the palace was turned to stone, even Lin Su himself was stunned!
Holy shit!
Brother-in-law, you are too much... too much, right?
I agree with you making you king, and I agree with making me King Haining. If you think the two words are not domineering enough, you can come up with one word and make me King of the Sea... Forget it, King Ning, oh, King Ning is Ji Shang's former name.
Forget about the title, it doesn’t matter what king he is, don’t be King Wen...
King Wen, King of literature and art!
As a literary copywriter, I am a bit embarrassed and embarrassed...
In addition, you can’t become a side by side king!
Resign immediately...
"Your Majesty is so kind, Lin Su is determined not to accept it..."
Your Majesty, stand up and insist!
Zai Ci: "..."
Your Majesty, please persist!
Three words...!
Shanjun, the chief eunuch, shouted loudly: "Now that the three speeches have been completed, I would like to ask Mr. Zongzheng to crown His Royal Highness King Wen!"
The Eight Elders came out from behind, and Lin Su was completely confused. He wanted to explain that I was really making speeches just now, but according to the patriarchal interpretation, his speech was just a process.
There are three rules for making a king.
You resign three times, only three times. After resigning three times, the etiquette is over, and you become the king mentioned in the imperial edict...
The crown is really heavy when I put it on.
When I put on the royal robe, it had three more gold edges than the ordinary royal robe.
The king's seal changed to his prefect's official seal. As soon as the two seals were exchanged, Lin Su discovered for the first time why his prefect's official seal was so small?
After all the ceremonies were completed, all the ministers below congratulated King Wen!
Lin Su could only keep smiling...
"Today's meeting is just for this purpose. All my dear friends, please leave!" His Majesty waved his hand, and all the ministers left the court, either sighing or relaxing... The sad thing is that it is really easy to reach heaven in one step with the right person.
What's relaxing is that today's matter has nothing to do with their official titles.
Of course, no one knows how long this official hat can be worn.
Because the vast majority of them are under the power of Mr. Lin, he can dismiss officials below the second rank first and then punish them. In other words, everyone in the room, except for about a few dozen second-rank officials,
Except for the first-grade officials, he can directly fire all the others.
Could it be said that this was a back door quietly opened by the little emperor for Lin?
Let him open the box, shake it, and let go of those who have offended him before? How about revenge with a grudge or a complaint with a grudge?
Suddenly, all the officials who had had issues with Lin before were sweating on their backs.
The ministers all dispersed, and only His Majesty and Lin Su were left in the Golden Palace.
Lin Su shook his head gently: "What kind of tricks are you doing? Why do you still come up with a one-word shoulder-to-shoulder king?"
"Shouldn't it?" His Majesty smiled.
"I know what you are thinking. You are completely defenseless against me, but you also have to understand that there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. This is an ancient saying. Why can't a country have two kings? Because once there are two kings, the ministers
They will have different aspirations and not know who to follow, and over time, the country will be divided."
His Majesty said: "The situation you mentioned only occurs when you and I have different ideas. If you and I work together, how can such a situation happen? If I follow you, it is the same as following me.
Why do the ministers have to make this choice?"
Lin Su was silent...
That's true!
His Majesty looked at the deep palace from a distance and his tone softened: "Father once said that position determines a person's character. When I was in Meiling, the clouds were clear and the wind was gentle. When I entered the deep palace, it was difficult to determine my character. I set you up to stand side by side.
King, it’s for myself
A warning, if I deviate from my original intention, if one day I become a stranger, the words I said at the beginning still count, in the world, the country comes first, the people come first, and the surname does not come first! You can take me at any time.
Instead!"
Lin Su let out a long breath: "I want to say something very vulgar and sensational, but also very true."
"you say!"
"No matter what happens to you in the future, at least today, I am lucky to have you! I will accept your offer of King of Side by Side! But... I have to leave today!"
"Go home?"
"yes!"
His Majesty was silent for a long time: "It's because you don't want to use the power you just obtained to disrupt the capital, right?"
"There are considerations in this regard, but more importantly, I have been away from home for long enough and I miss home!"
"The day you left home was also the time when I left Meiling. I also missed Meiling...Although I lived there for eight full years, I don't know if it is my home!" His Majesty's voice sounded a little strange.
Sad.
"Home is not a geographical concept, nor a time concept, but belonging! Home is where your loved ones are."
"Sometimes I envy you. When I see the fireworks of your Lin family, I am very, very envious..." His Majesty changed the subject: "Forget it, don't be sad, I will build you a royal palace in the capital, and you can spend a couple of days there.
Months should be enough."
"No need, I have too much money to spend..."
"You can't spend all your money, right? It's such a simple thing. The Great Cang's treasury is so empty that a mouse could starve to death. If you contribute all your wealth, I guarantee you can afford it..."
Damn! Can we have a pleasant chat?
Lin Su crossed him, and His Majesty followed him. Suddenly, the two of them burst out laughing. Of course, what His Majesty said was a joke...
Shanjun, the chief eunuch, listened to the two playing there, and his heart was full of emotions, but there was also a smile on his lips...
After entering the palace for twenty years, he has never seen such a monarch, let alone such a prince...
Suddenly, the sound inside stopped abruptly...
The good king suddenly raised his head, and the sky was filled with holy light...
A voice fell from the sky: "The watchman of Da Cang Confucian Temple wants to meet with His Majesty the Da Cang Emperor! Could you please meet me!"
The sound is crisp and friendly, but the sound waves cover the whole city.
The people in the city were very excited...
The ministers who had just left the palace were even more shocked...
Yesterday, the watchman of Da Cang Confucian Temple was forcibly expelled from the Confucian Temple by Lin Su. It was a big scandal in the temple and also laid a huge hidden danger for Da Cang Literary. All literati are worried about Da Cang.
