"Your Majesty comes to the palace, and all the officials kneel to greet you."
The unique high-pitched voice of the eunuch came, and the emperor's arrival was announced loudly in the palace. Then all the ministers knelt down and saluted in tacit agreement: "See my emperor, your majesty will live forever."
"Everyone is safe." Liu Xie glanced at Li Xiang, who was standing there quietly with his eyes closed, and then said slowly.
Li Xiang has already had these privileges such as being able to praise and worship without fame, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes. However, Li Xiang has never used them before. He is what other ministers should be like!
As long as you are strong enough, you can get any privileges. But when you are not strong enough, some privileges will be given to you. You should be an honest person, and you must be an honest person!
Although Li Xiang was already the number one prince in the world before, if all the princes in the world unite, he still has no confidence that he can fight against the whole world as a family. Therefore, he is far from being arrogant and domineering.
when.
But today, Li Xiang did not bow down together like other ministers. He paid homage in vain, entered the court without rushing, and went to the palace with swords and shoes. He lacked none of these items today!
Moreover, it is not only Li Xiang who is abnormal in the court today, many people who should not be in this court are almost here now.
In addition to Meng Tian, the governor of Hezhou, other major governors such as Yue Fei, Su Lie, Bai Qi, Li Jing, and Xue Rengui had already gathered together. Even deputy governors such as Chang Yuchun, Qin Qiong, and Wu Qi were also present at this time.
The chief and deputy governors of these states were all those who made contributions in this war. Li Xiang took this opportunity to gather them all back and reward them for their contributions. These people are currently Li Xiang
The highest-ranking and most powerful generals under his command.
In addition to these people, there are also Zhuge Liang, Yu Qian and other generals who have made great achievements.
Although he has temporarily transferred these people back, he is not afraid of something happening. The Guandong princes and Liu Che have just been beaten back by him and will not send troops in a short time.
Moreover, even if these people are temporarily gone, Li Mu, Huang Feihu, Li Keyong, Feng Yi, Lian Po and others are still responsible for the defense of each state.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master is now sitting in the sky, commanding the three armies to attack the north of Jing in the south, attack Liu Yu's rebels, drive Liu Xiu's rebels in the south, and then supervise Bai, Su's second general to attack Liu Che in the south, and supervise General Li Jing to attack in the east.
Attacking the thieves in Guandong is a great achievement and cannot be denied. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision!" Guan Zhong stepped forward and spoke first.
"The merits of the Grand Master must not be unrewarded! Then I will give the Grand Master a hundred beauties, ten thousand taels of gold, and a title of a thousand households with food!" Liu Xie instinctively felt something bad, but at this time, he was no different from a puppet.
That's all I can say.
Hearing this, whether it was Guan Zhong, others in the hall, or even Li Xiang, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, pretending to be wandering, they all sneered in their hearts.
Liu Xie's reward is no different from sending a beggar away. It's really an iron rooster that doesn't pluck its hair. No, it shouldn't be called an iron rooster. It should be called a sugar rooster. Not only does it not pluck its hair, it also sticks to Li Xiang. After all, the little emperor now has everything
Everything he used came from Li Xiang, and even his queen was given to him by Li Xiang.
The maids, the gold, aren't they all Li Xiang's own after all? In the end, they have to be taken from Li Xiang himself, which is tantamount to using Li Xiang's things to reward Li Xiang!
As for the last food town, it's even more ridiculous. The entire territory controlled by the Jin army was conquered by Li Xiang, and it all belongs to Li Xiang. He doesn't need the little emperor to give it to him!
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master saved the great Han from defeat, and this merit should be greatly enhanced!" Following Guan Zhong, Wang Meng came out suddenly.
"Jiuxi! Hiss!" These two short words, these two keywords, made many people in the court have other ideas.
The few remaining loyalists headed by Yang Biao felt as if the sky was falling at this time. They thought that Li Xiang could no longer control his ambition. However, even if this was true, they
What? With their current strength, how can they stop it?
And more people in the court, or even nearly 90% of the power, were promoted by Li Xiang, and they were all excited at this time. Obviously, they had misunderstood, thinking that Li Xiang finally started to want
One step further.
As for these civil and military officials, only Li Xiang can go one step further. As ministers of the dragon, they can follow suit. Only Li Xiang can go one step further. Then they can legitimately become the founding generals of the country and gain official titles.
By being promoted to a noble title and leaving a name in history books, all these pursuits in life can be realized.
Similarly, when these people saw other colleagues who were also suddenly enlightened, they couldn't help but secretly sigh that Wang Meng and Guan Zhong had done such a good job in keeping this secret that they had not received any news in advance, nor had they received any information.
Get any hints.
Wang Meng and Guan Zhong are Li Xiang's most trusted right-hand men. Not only are these two powerful, but what's even more valuable is that their abilities are comprehensive enough to help Li Xiang deal with 99% of things. Like Liu Ji,
, Zhang Liang and others are not as good as them in this aspect.
Wang Meng was Li Xiang's first counselor and one of Li Xiang's earliest ministers. Although Guan Zhong did not join Wang Meng earlier, he had already joined after the princes challenged Dong, so he also followed.
Li Xiang has been here for nearly ten years.
"Jiuxi" refers to the 9 kinds of utensils used in etiquette and honor given by the emperor to ministers who have made great contributions. It means that this minister's contribution is too great, and the promotion title has reached the top. If he is promoted again, the emperor will have to come down and let him
Go up, this obviously won't work.
Therefore, under the premise that the official position cannot be promoted and the title cannot be promoted, using this kind of ceremonial utensil indicates that the status of this minister is higher than that of other civil and military officials. This is a symbol of honor.
Although "Nine Tins" has no practical significance, kings in history were unwilling to give this set of things to ministers, because most of the ministers who were given "Nine Tins" were not given by the emperor to be honest.
The emperor gave it to him when he had no choice but to give it.
The person who gets the "Nine Tins" is usually a master with more power than the emperor, and is always thinking about getting rid of the emperor.
Especially since Wang Mang, Jiuxi has become a powerful official who deposed the emperor and hinted at his own rise to power.
It is precisely because of this that when Wang Meng proposed adding nine tins, the atmosphere in the entire hall was suddenly ignited.
