There were bright yellow satin cushions on the shoulder cart. Li Qian took a few pieces of crystal cake and sat on them while nibbling.
He was quite satisfied with his performance at the court meeting.
After all, Li Qian has achieved his goal and solved the Wu Yue incident, and he can finally have a day off tomorrow.
As for the matter of punching away... Li Qian felt that it was partly completed.
Although no one was removed or any substantial harm was done to the courtiers, at least it changed their mentality.
Li Qian just wanted to use his performance to make the ministers feel that His Majesty the Emperor is a narrow-minded person, and he will take revenge if he suffers a little loss.
Only in this way will they be afraid of the emperor.
After all, it’s better to guard against villains than gentlemen!
Of course, he didn't realize it yet, but there was no need to be careful when performing, as long as he acted his true self.
Li Qian, with his legs crossed in an imageless manner, sat on his shoulder and ate some snacks.
As an emperor with no power, today is the best he can do.
If you still think about deposing court officials, you can only wait until later.
After all, as time goes by, even if you want to PUA those ministers, you have to do it step by step.
I just regret a little bit, why I didn’t pay more attention to this field of expertise in my previous life.
In addition, the behavior of several people at today's court meeting also puzzled Li Qian, so he decided to go back and think about it carefully.
"His Majesty."
As the journey was about to start, Wei Zhongxian bowed to the side and asked for instructions: "Do you want to move the memorial to the Qianyuan front hall today?"
Li Qian came back from his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed in compromise: "Move over!"
It was impossible to criticize the memorial. Only by moving to the front hall of Qianyuan to hide his shame could he maintain his life like this.
Thinking about it now, it was really unwise to laugh at the late emperor's idea.
Still too young!
Li Qian was still a little bit mentally burdened by not approving the memorial, and even chewed snacks a little slower.
"Father!"
A loud shout came from the front, and Lu Bu led a group of Yulin guards to surround Xingjia.
"Fengxian got up so early, have you had your meal?"
Li Qian raised his head and said with a smile: "I still have some snacks here, let me share them with you."
He waved his hand and signaled Wei Zhongxian to take out the snacks he had prepared and distribute them to the Yulin guards present.
Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you so much, foster father!"
The Yulin guards also happily accepted the snacks rewarded by the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Lu Bu's happy expression and couldn't help curling his lips, thinking of the tricks he used on the young eunuchs.
Small favors make them burst into tears of gratitude.
Little Lu Bu is so ridiculous.
"Big companion? Don't you want it? You also have a share!" Li Qian's voice came from the shoulder carriage.
Wei Zhongxian was startled, and the thoughts in his mind were instantly forgotten, and he took the snack box happily:
"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty."
Driving north, I don't know when the sky became a little gloomier, and the sultry heat in the air also became less intense.
The eunuchs and Yulin guards collected the snacks and set off on their journey. After walking all the way, Li Qian returned to the Palace of Eternal Life.
A dark cloud enveloped the majestic Hall of Eternal Life, and gusts of wind blew by, causing the gauze curtains in the hall to sway.
Li Qian walked up the stairs slowly, thinking about the situation in Qianyang Palace today.
Heshen was the nominal head of the Shangshu Province, and also controlled the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six departments.
For him to say that kind of thing in court is almost tantamount to pure flattery.
Yesterday, the ministers below did not give me face, and they gathered together to argue with each other.
But today, He Shen, who is in a high position and has a high position, disregards his face and publicly licks himself, a powerless emperor, in the court?
Why do you think something is wrong?
Li Qian rubbed his chin, guessing what the ministers were thinking, but he felt that there was still a layer of fog in front of him.
"Alas~"
"Sure enough, you still need to ask the professionals..."
Li Qian sighed helplessly, walked up to the third floor, and opened the bedroom door.
The room is clean and brand new. Wu Meiniang is wearing yesterday's yellow skirt and green robe, and has already washed and dressed up.
"I have met Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang lowered her head and saluted.
"Mei Niang? Have you had breakfast?"
With a smile on his face, Li Qian walked up and put his arms around her soft waist, pulling Wu Meiniang towards the bed at the back.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have already eaten."
"That's good."
Li Qian smiled and sat on the bed with her. Wu Meiniang's walking posture was still a little awkward, and her pretty face was a bit troubled: "Your Majesty... I am not feeling well today..."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qian smiled and took her into his arms: "Meiniang is smart, I just want to ask you a few things."
Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and looked at Li Qian: "Your Majesty, it's okay to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Li Qian smiled and recounted to her the events of today's court meeting in full.
After he finished speaking, he joked:
"If I didn't know that those ministers are all cunning and cunning, I would have thought that they were being frightened. Then He Shen would be obedient to me."
But just thinking about it makes me realize that this is absolutely impossible.
After hearing Li Qian's words, Wu Meiniang also covered her mouth and smiled softly. Then she looked at Li Qian with her beautiful eyes and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, you are the most powerful person in the world. Isn't it natural for the ministers in the court to please you?"
Li Qian shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Meiniang, please don't make such a joke."
"If those ministers really cared about me so much, how dare they make such outrageous remarks yesterday?"
"No, Your Majesty."
Wu Meiniang leaned into Li Qian's arms, a pair of jade arms actively wrapped around his waist, and her bright eyes looked at him without blinking:
"Your Majesty, please think about what happened at today's court meeting."
"At first, the civil and military forces insisted on their own opinions, but after you opened your mouth, what happened to them?"
Li Qian rubbed his chin, frowning and recalling the scene at that time.
At the beginning, he said: "The State of Wu sent troops across the country without an order from the court, and started a war in vain. This is disrespectful."
This vaguely revealed the intention to send troops.
Then the situation of the confrontation in Qianyang Palace changed.
The military officers were high-spirited and high-spirited, but the civil servants were all wilted, and Wang Mang felt even more like he was mourning for his heir.
Thinking of this, Li Qian's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.
So what does the second sentence say?
"Therefore, I decided to issue an order to warn the State of Wu, order it to withdraw its troops, and send envoys to the court to apologize."
After saying this, the military attachés suddenly froze!
Zhao Kuangyi just said a few words, but he was sprayed with blood by the civil servants, and other military attachés did not dare to stand up to help him!
And the back, almost everything is like this!
Every time I say it, the wind direction in the court changes!
It was like a thunderbolt flashing through my heart!
Li Qian clenched his fists and breathed a little faster: "That's it!"
"I was just teasing them and laughing at their ugliness, but I didn't pay attention..."
Li Qian had never thought before that his words could have such power in the court!
Civil and military officials follow orders! Do not disobey orders!
But just when he was about to get carried away, Li Qian suddenly realized something.
No, no!
It shouldn't be that simple...
Li Qian forced himself to calm down.
Those ministers are not simple characters. People like Zhao Kuangyin, Li Yuan, and Yang Jian are not born with treason at all, but have a person growing on the treason!
How could they calmly listen to themselves, a novice emperor?
Wu Meiniang nestled in Li Qian's arms and explained with a smile: "The civil and military powers are equal. Once there is a dispute, there will be a stalemate."
"At this time, no matter which side your Majesty supports, they will win because of this."
"So, Your Majesty is the most important person in the court."
Only then did Li Qian understand the reason and nodded thoughtfully.
If you look at it this way, it depends on whether you can talk about it or not.
Yesterday when the matter of Wei Zheng was discussed, the civil and military positions were consistent, and he opposed it, and then they teamed up to fight against him.
But today they are fighting, and they themselves can make the decision!
I see... everything makes sense... Li Qian thought to himself.
"However, what I admire most is that Your Majesty can advance and retreat at critical moments with ease." In Li Qian's arms, Wu Meiniang looked at him with admiring eyes.
"Um?"
Li Qian's thoughts paused, and he lowered his head and looked at Wu Meiniang curiously: "How can I advance and retreat in a controlled manner?"
