Chapter 62 On this matter, I have made up my mind

The ministers waited outside the Penglai Hall for a long time, and the eunuchs who went in to report the news ran out happily and welcomed the people into the hall.

Chen Yi always felt strange about Li Xian asking them to wait outside the hall for a while today! Logically speaking, most of the ministers were heavyweight ministers in the court asking for their meeting together. Li Xian should have shown fear and fear, and did not dare to delay any delay and welcome them in. But the current situation is that they waited outside the hall for a while, and it was estimated that it took nearly a quarter of an hour before the eunuchs announced that they were in.

It is possible that Li Xian did this on purpose today and gave these ministers a warning!

But why bother with this? It was not the emperor's son at this time. Didn't Li Xian know that his huge crisis was coming soon? He dared to put on airs to so many important officials! This is a minister who can influence the government and the development direction of the Tang Dynasty to a large extent!

I really don’t know why Li Xian did this!

After entering the hall, the ministers were taken to the main hall. Chen Yi looked up and found that Li Xianzheng was at his desk to review the memorials very seriously. Even the ministers walked in front of the hall, but did not raise their eyes. It was not until the ministers walked in front of him and bowed to him in unison that they seemed to come back to their senses, put down their pen and raised their heads, and signaled the ministers to calm down!

"I am taking the liberty to disturb Your Majesty's handling of the court today, so I would like to ask Your Majesty not to blame him!" Pei Xingjian bowed again and apologized for his guilt!

Chen Yi, who was standing next to Pei Xingjian, glanced at the memorials on the desk, and understood that Li Xian was pretending to be mysterious and deliberately pretending to give them the ministers a warning. The feeling of anger in his heart became even stronger!

Is this necessary? However, he is the emperor, and Chen Yi's discomfort can only be buried in his heart and maintain a respectful look on his face. Other ministers clearly saw that Li Xian was doing this on purpose, and he was a little angry. Helan Minzhi couldn't hide it and his anger was revealed.

Li Xian, who was in an awkward situation, spoke carefully to the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall for fear of offending them. What happened today?

After Pei Xingjian's apologies, Li Xian couldn't stop replying. He cleared his throat and said, "Pei Aiqing, I have just read the memorials, and I have been waiting for a long time! I have just ascended the throne and have just taken power. Many things in the court are not clear, and I still need more reminders and help from you. I am grateful! I just don't know why so many of you come to see me today?"

"Your Majesty, I am entrusted by the Emperor to assist in the administration. It is my duty to do things for Your Majesty, but I have limited ability. I cannot help Your Majesty too much. Please forgive me!" Pei Xingjian raised his body and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty once said when he was in charge of the administration. If you think Your Majesty has done something wrong, you can advise me. Today, I am brave enough to persuade you if you have something to do!"

Just when Pei Xingjian wanted to ask for a meeting in person, Li Xian interrupted him and said to himself: "You are my loyal ministers. I am very pleased to have your assistance! I also hope that more capable ministers will do things for the court. Therefore, after ascending the throne, I have repeatedly recommended talented people, hoping that more talented people can be used by the court. It's a blessing that I finally gained something and promoted some people to these days. These are talented people. They will definitely help me a lot and share my worries!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xian said this first. Pei Xingjian, Chen Yi and other ministers were very surprised. He also knew that Li Xian must have guessed that so many of their ministers came to ask for a meeting today, why did it be for!

While Pei Xingjian was stunned, Li Jingxuan interjected. He bowed back to Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty, today's ministers are here for this matter. Your Majesty secretly appointed Empress Wei's father as the minister of the rank of the court and Wei Hongmin as the minister of the Taifu. This is indeed inappropriate. Since Pei Pushe was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the court has formulated complete promotions of officials..."

Before Li Jingxuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xian who was angry, "Li Qing family, what's wrong with this? I am the emperor, and I can give anyone an official position. What's wrong with this? They are all talented people and can fully afford the official positions they are now. Not only do I want to give them official positions, I also want to give more people and more official positions, so that more talented people can be used by the court!"

Li Xian's "arrogant" look completely annoyed Helan Minzhi, and immediately responded bluntly: "Your Majesty is the emperor, but it is not true that he is the emperor, but he privately promoted many members of the Wei family to the court to serve as senior officials, which seriously violated the promotion regulations formulated by the Ministry of Personnel. I have been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for a period of time, and have never been promoted so quickly. Today I would like to ask Your Majesty, why did Wei Xuanzhen get such a rapid promotion? Wei Hongmin was promoted again based on the achievements of that place? They were promoted from the seventh rank to the third rank and the second rank within one year. Can Your Majesty give me such a basis for promotion?"

Helan Minzhi paused. Before Li Xian came to his senses, he said in a slightly serious tone: "When Pei Pushe was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he strictly formulated the promotion regulations for officials. In recent years, all officials were promoted and promoted as the basis. The late emperor and the queen mother strictly abide by this. The court was very orderly. I think Your Majesty should also follow this example! You cannot set a precedent for random promotion of officials, otherwise the court would fall into chaos immediately!"

When Li Xian heard this, he raised his eyebrows and his face was full of anger. He also said bluntly: "Wu Aiqing, do you mean the Queen Mother or your own?"

Helan Minzhi was not forced by Li Xian's momentum at all, and Li Xian did not show the terrifying aura that the emperor should have. In addition, Li Xian has always been used to being weak in front of him, Helan Min answered without hesitation: "The Empress Dowager thinks so, I think so, and my colleagues think so. Today, I am waiting here to persuade Your Majesty not to act recklessly and break the court's principles!"

"You?! Wu Minzhi, you are too arrogant! Don't forget, I am the emperor, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xian was obviously angry, and stood up all of a sudden, and his tone of speaking also increased. "I am the emperor, what's wrong with whom I want to give me? I can do whatever I want. Wu Minzhi, you are dissatisfied with me doing this, so I bewitched in front of my mother and joined forces with so many ministers to question me?"

No one expected Li Xian to be so angry. Other ministers, including Chen Yi and others, did not expect Helan Minzhi to be so strong and dare to argue with Li Xian in front of so many people. However, their attitudes were all biased towards Helan Minzhi. When they came here today, they were originally trying to persuade Li Xian, but they did not expect that after a few words, they became mutual questioning.

Although he smelled some gunpowder, no one came forward to dissuade him. What Helan Min said was reasonable. Wu Zetian's nephew was protected by Wu Zetian, and Li Xian didn't dare to do anything to him.

Of course, Helan Minzhi did not expect Li Xian to be so excited. His anger became even more intense, but he stopped his anger and stood up. He replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I am thinking about your Majesty, so I advise you with kind words! It is not to be hiding your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is also angry. The Empress Dowager does not want Your Majesty to do this. I only risked my life with my colleagues to persuade Your Majesty today! Your Majesty can give anyone an official position, but I think it is better to decide everything according to the rules and the promotion of officials is done according to the rules, so as not to break the court's rules! And... Your Majesty should discuss with the Empress Dowager before making a decision, so as not to get angry!"

"Hmph!" Li Xian snorted angrily, his tone became even more unfriendly, and he shouted: "Wu Minzhi, don't use your mother to suppress others later, otherwise we would join forces with so many people to force me! Today I can tell you that in this matter, I have decided to grant several Wei Qing family official positions, and it will never be changed, even if the mother does not agree!!"

Li Xian paused and shouted again in the surprised eyes of the ministers: "I also tell you that in these matters, my intentions have been decided and will not be changed because of anyone's advice. Even if my mother disagrees, it will be like this! I am the emperor, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be in charge of everything in the world! Wei Shizhong is the father of my empress, and I will give him a rank of Shizhong. What's wrong? Even if I hand over the world to him, it will be my freedom. No one can tell this and stop me with various reasons! Don't say anything today, just retreat!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xian would be so tough, and all the ministers, including Chen Yi, were stunned.

Not only did Li Xian show strong performance, but he also said with great confidence that even if he handed over the world to Wei Xuanzhen, this "big rebellious" words were nothing wrong. Everyone was shocked! Is this what he said from the emperor? Although Li Xian is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is not qualified to do so. This statement almost aroused the anger of everyone present.

Pei Yan immediately stood up and accused him very toughly: "Your Majesty's words are really wrong. The world of the Tang Dynasty is not the world of Your Majesty alone, nor is it the one whom you want to give it to. If this is spread, not only the empress dowager will be angry, but the subjects of the world will be disheartened. Please think twice, otherwise the empress dowager will be angry and His Majesty will definitely be scolded..."

Pei Yan was already polite enough to speak. Although his heart was full of anger, his anger for the emperor's childish performance could only be hidden. He did not have the confidence to scold him like Helan Minzhi. Pei Xingjian immediately expressed his corresponding intentions. After Pei Xingjian, other ministers also expressed their intentions to Li Xian think twice before acting and not act irritably!

"Your Majesty, for this matter, the Empress Dowager was furious. The ministers were very worried that your Majesty would do this and ruin the Tang Dynasty's principles. Today, the ministers present were the most serious ministers in the court. I also hoped that Your Majesty could obey the advice of the ministers and others, figure out the matter clearly, and then consider it!" Chen Yi also stood up alone at the end, explaining the meaning meaning deeply.

Chen Yi's deliberate statement made Li Xian stunned, but he had already said this, and his anger was completely picked up by Helan Minzhi, and he ignored the meaning expressed in Chen Yi's words and waved impatiently: "I have received the kindness of all the ministers, but my intention has been decided and will not change it anymore! I am tired, please go by yourself!"

As he said that, he ignored the ministers and left! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
