Li Daoyuan watched the drama in the court hall, and the final result was that the emperor did not break up with the political hall.
Before Yu Chaoen walked out of the hall, Li Heng "reluctantly" took back his orders, and at the same time quickly decided on the reward for King Jianning.
The first is to promote King Jianning to the title of prince.
In fact, according to the "Tang Liu Dian", the emperor's heirs should be given the title of prince. Logically speaking, after Lingwu ascended the throne, Li Heng's sons should all be promoted from county princes to princes.
However, this title of prince encountered opposition from the court ministers. They blocked the promotion of Prince Jianning and other princes to princes on the grounds that "the country has not yet been decided, and His Majesty should not grant royal titles."
The emperor also increased the fiefdom of King Jianning from 10,000 households to 20,000 households. In the Tang Dynasty, the princes did not have actual fiefdoms, which was equivalent to an increase in King Jianning's treatment.
In addition to the title of prince, Li Heng also said:
"King Jianning has made great achievements in Longyou. I have decided to cancel the post of Hexi Jiedushi and establish the post of Grand Governor of Longyou, letting King Jianning take charge of it."
Wei Jiansu just lowered his head and did not object to this order.
Anyway, Longyou is now in the hands of King Jianning. This position was originally his, but it was only legally recognized by the court.
After forcibly approving these two rewards, the official of the Zhengshitang finally sent King Jianning's report of victory.
At this time, all the prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the memorial was still in the Zhengshi Hall, but it had been delayed for a day. The emperor's anger should have been almost gone.
However, the prime ministers were busy thinking about the emperor venting his anger, but they did not expect that one of the people present was also angry.
This person is Li Daoyuan.
Li Daoyuan was suddenly called into the hall, and he immediately told his teammates what happened in the hall.
There was also an expert on Dunhuang studies like Zhang Duanyang in the team, and Zhang Duanyang quickly analyzed the situation in the court.
"It seems that someone wants to suppress the royal family by suppressing the prestige of King Jianning."
Zhang Duanyang quickly analyzed this conclusion.
Hearing this, everyone became indignant.
You losers, with so many troops and horses in your hands, you can't even recapture Chang'an.
We players fought with King Jianning to death in Longyou, and are you still using them as tools for political struggle?
Especially the Prime Minister Wei Jiansu who was aggressive at the imperial meeting. Jingzhao Wei was really not a good bird!
Li Daoyuan said: "Director Zhang, is there any way to cure Wei Jiansu? I have been unhappy with him for a long time!"
As a player, I naturally have no respect for the Imperial Prime Minister.
This old boy actually plotted against himself. According to the player's character of giving an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, he definitely can't just let it go.
Zhang Duanyang quickly understood what Li Daoyuan meant. He thought about it and said:
"Captain Li, I will teach you a set of rhetoric. If the emperor asks about the right things, just say this. I guarantee that Wei Jiansu will be taught a lesson!"
Zhang Duanyang quickly told Li Daoyuan a set of rhetoric, and the other party quickly recorded it.
After reading the memorial, the emperor asked with unsatisfied intentions:
"My son's memorial is really too brief. Were Li Sima in the army at that time?"
Li Daoyuan said honestly: "The foreign minister has not seen the battle of Jinshan."
Li Heng said regretfully: "It's a pity."
Li Daoyuan added: "But after the war, the General Staff Office issued combat minutes, and the foreign ministers can tell a lot about the Battle of Jinshan."
Li Heng immediately said: "Quickly! Tell me how my son defeated the Uighurs!"
Li Heng didn't look like a ninety-five-year-old emperor, but like an old man who kept bragging to his neighbors about his successful son.
The ministers, including An Daxie, all pricked up their ears to hear how King Jianning had made great achievements.
Li Daoyuan took out the war minutes of the Battle of Jinshan compiled by players on the forum, and explained the process of the Battle of Jinshan in detail.
This staff officer who recorded the Battle of Jinshan was quite talented in writing. The war minutes were filled with ups and downs. From the emperor to the courtiers, everyone was attracted by such a wonderful war.
After Li Daoyuan finished speaking, everyone came to their senses.
Li Heng stood up on the throne and said, "King Jianning is really my great son!"
"Yu Chaoen, draft a decree, add one more to the reward, and appoint King Jianning as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!"
Yu Chaoen glanced at the emperor and saw that the prime minister below had no objection, so he had no choice but to kowtow and follow the order.
Wei Jiansu was furious. He deeply suspected that all this was a conspiracy by the emperor and King Jianning!
And this Uighur envoy! The emperor must have known the truth about the Uighur defeat a long time ago and deliberately waited for him to act!
This Uighur envoy and King Jianning, who joined the army, traveled together. I'm afraid they had already made plans!
Damn it! You are actually being manipulated by King Jianning, a young man in his twenties!
No, all this is the emperor's premeditation!
Wei Jiansu looked at the emperor on the throne. He was indeed a ruthless man who could serve as the crown prince for twenty years in the previous dynasty!
Wei Jiansu sneered. Now that he doesn't argue with the emperor at the imperial meeting, these decrees of King Ning of feudalism are still just the middle decrees. Without the seal of the Zhengshi Hall, it is just a blank piece of paper.
Now that the political hall is in his own hands, the worst he can do is refute this decree!
As long as I am in the political hall for a day, this decree will not be passed.
After Li Daoyuan finished speaking, Li Heng continued to ask:
"My son can defeat the Uighurs, who can claim the first credit?"
After asking this question, Li Heng regretted it.
This Li Daoyuan is just a prince's army soldier without rank. What result can he answer this kind of question?
Li Daoyuan had been waiting for Li Heng to ask questions, and he immediately said:
"His Majesty takes the first place in the great victory at Jinshan!"
Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Why?"
"Those who know people are wise. Your Majesty knows people well and is responsible for their duties. It was only because King Jianning controlled Longyou that he achieved such a great victory. Your Majesty takes the first place in the credit."
Hearing this disgusting flattery, Li Heng felt that every pore opened up.
Yuan Zai frowned when he looked at Li Daoyuan. He didn't expect that this man who joined the army under King Jianning would be so shameless.
But looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that he is very useful.
Yuan Zai silently wrote down that eloquent words and tricks are also the way to be an official, and he should study them carefully.
Li Heng asked with satisfaction: "I am number one, so King Jianning is number two?"
Li Daoyuan nodded and said: "If His Highness had not persuaded farmers and herders to reorganize Longyou's military and political affairs, there would not have been a great victory on the front line."
Li Heng nodded and said: "Then who is third? Cao Lingzhong who led the troops to the expedition?"
"By the way, King Jianning asked in the memorial to appoint Cao Lingzhong as the Grand Governor of the Beiting Protectorate. When he gets back, he will let the Hanlin bachelor draft the decree."
Yu Chaoen immediately agreed.
Li Daoyuan shook his head and said: "General Cao took the lead and defeated the enemy in the wild, but he did not dare to take the third credit."
Now all the civil and military officials in the court became curious.
Li Daoyuan said: "His Royal Highness said, 'One person is short-term and everyone is wise'. For Jinshan's victory, the staff office should take third place."
"Staff Office?"
Li Daoyuan said: "His Royal Highness summoned those who know the military and military affairs under his command, and established a staff office. Strategies, tactics, training, rewards and punishments all come from the staff office. Only with the collective efforts of the staff office can we win the victory at Jinshan."
Li Heng said with satisfaction: "My son has grown up if he can understand this truth!"
Li Heng thought of the young man who protected him all the way to Lingwu, and his heart felt warm.
Li Daoyuan looked at Wei Jiansu, who was standing among the prime ministers, and finally revealed his killer move.
"His Highness once said that all military orders in Longyou come from the staff office. If there are no restrictions, then in the future the armies in Longyou will only know that there is a staff office and not a court."
Hearing these words, the court fell silent instantly.
Is this talking about the General Staff Office? Isn’t this an allusion to the Political Affairs Hall?
Li Heng was worthy of being a political creature. He immediately took over the words:
"Then how did my son limit the power of the staff office?"
Everyone looked at Li Daoyuan, and Wei Jiansu was so filled with hatred that his teeth almost broke.
Li Daoyuan said calmly: "Your Highness only has a staff office, not a chief of staff."
Li Heng heard this and exclaimed: "What a wonderful thing! But if there is no chief, the staff dare not do their job, and what should we do if we pass the blame to each other?"
Li Daoyuan said: "His Royal Highness has all the staff take turns in charge of the ministry, and each person will take charge of the overall situation for one day."
Li Heng slapped the throne and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Li Heng completely understood what Li Daoyuan meant, and he continued:
"The Zhengshi Hall is clogged with King Jianning's victory report. This is because the Zhengshi Hall has too many general affairs and Prime Minister Wei Xiang is too busy with it."
Wei Jiansu knew something was wrong, but the emperor once again brought up the matter of the memorial and used it as an excuse. It was not easy for him to stand up at this time.
The next words made Wei Jiansu's heart drop to the bottom.
"From now on, Prime Minister Bingbi will also take turns among the other prime ministers, holding the 'ruling pen' for one day every day. What do the prime ministers think?"
I only saw the prime ministers behind Wei Jiansu smiling!
The Prime Minister Bingbi was the chief of the political affairs hall, and was also called the "prime minister" by people at the time.
It is said that the ruling pen was made during the Taizong period and was exclusively controlled by Prime Minister Bingbi. The political hall used this ruling pen to refute the emperor's decree.
The ruling pen of today's Zhengshitang is naturally not the one passed down from the reign of Emperor Taizong, but it still represents the power of the prime minister holding the pen.
After listening to Li Daoyuan's nonsense, the emperor actually wanted to take turns at the political hall!?
Wei Jiansu was so angry that he almost blurted out "ridiculous"!
But he also served as prime minister in the imperial court. Once he calmed down, he realized that Li Daoyuan's move was really cruel!
As mentioned earlier, King Jianning asked the staff of the General Staff to take turns in order to prevent the General Staff from monopolizing power.
If you jump out to oppose it, doesn't that mean you have a disobedient heart?
Although it was the consensus of the political hall to suppress the imperial power, no one thought about rebellion.
The other prime ministers of the Zhengshitang had long been dissatisfied with Wei Jiansu's arbitrary and domineering style.
Now that everyone is taking turns holding the pen, everyone has a chance. The other prime ministers can only be happy to see the success and cannot interfere at all.
Now I can only rely on my own censor to succeed.
Only one censor stood up and said: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Bingbi has had a system since the year of Taizu. This is the law of our ancestors!"
Unexpectedly, Li Daoyuan was faster, so he directly said loudly: "How brave! What happened between His Majesty and the Prime Minister is beyond the scope of a little censor like you! This is a bastard who talks about great politics, foreign ministers, please behead him!"
