Chapter 12 The Prince of Mayi County was changed to Prince An
Ridiculing and teasing was just for them to have fun, so they couldn't really care about this little thing. So after hearing the censor's impeachment, Cheng Yaojin immediately stood up and said good things to his old brother. However, other ministers did not follow the censor's words.
Put pressure on Qin Qiong, because there is no point in offending Qin Qiong over such a trivial matter.
What young man is not pregnant with spring?
What's more, the object is the naturally beautiful Princess Jinyang.
Furthermore, Qin Qiong was an old and confidant of the emperor. With the current emperor's mind, it was naturally impossible to really punish Qin Qiong for this matter. At most, he would just say a few words.
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Li Zhiyun asked the censor, "What did Qin Huaiyu say?"
He acted in a full set, which showed that he, the emperor, was really busy and didn't know what was happening in Chang'an.
The censor said: "Qin Huaiyu said that when he married, he should marry Princess Jinyang. He did not respect Her Highness the Princess."
"That's it." Li Zhiyun looked at Qin Qiong, "Then let Qin Huaiyu live in seclusion for three months."
Qin Qiong said: "I obey your orders. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will teach him a lesson."
"Well, that's it." Li Zhiyun nodded.
The censor didn't bother much, stood up and showed off his presence, returned to the train with satisfaction, and waited for get off work.
"Is there anything else?" Li Zhiyun asked.
At this time, Zong Zhengqing Li Xiaogong came out and reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Mayi is already fifteen years old. It is not in line with etiquette to live in the palace anymore. He should leave the palace and open a mansion. Please send an edict from your Majesty."
Yes, it is indeed inappropriate for the eldest son to live in the palace at his age.
Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it according to the regulations."
Li Xiaogong asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want to confer another title on the King of Mayi?"
This is asking the emperor whether he should re-consecrate the royal title to the eldest son of the emperor. After all, the prince of Mayi County was canonized by the late emperor. Moreover, as the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chengjing left the palace and opened a mansion, but it seemed inappropriate to be just a county prince.
Although the ministers all knew that the emperor was very stingy and was not very willing to grant the title of king to the clan, the matter was related to etiquette and the ministers had to pay attention.
Wei Zheng said: "I think what Zongzheng said is correct, and I would like to ask your Majesty to confer the title of King of Mayi."
The emperor was stingy with the clan, but the ministers were actually happy to see it happen, because they also hated the clan kings who were freeloaders, and it was not a bad thing to have a few clan kings.
When they were canonizing the late emperor's son before, they wished that no king could do anything to canonize those annoying people, so they acted very calmly. However, this time it was the emperor's son who was canonized, so they couldn't be stingy, otherwise it would be against the rules of etiquette.
Li Zhiyun, on the other hand, was considering what kind of king title should be bestowed upon Li Chengjing. If the king's title was too noble, it might arouse suspicion. At present, the East Palace has not yet decided what kind of king each prince would be canonized as, and there would be some speculation among the officials.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun secretly thought to himself, the Prince of the East Palace must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it goes on, the worse things will be. The sons have grown up and cannot delay it any longer.
"What you said is reasonable. If so, King Mayi will change his title to King An and grant him a palace in Chang'an."
King An?
When the ministers heard this, they understood that the emperor did not attach much importance to his eldest son.
Because this king's title, although it is one-character king, is obviously taken from the name of Anzhou, rather than the great king's titles of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, such as Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, Wei and so on.
In this way, the emperor's eldest son was not favored by the emperor.
King An, be safe. Your Majesty the Emperor hopes that the eldest son of the Emperor will be safe.
"I obey the order," Li Xiaogong said.
Basically, the ministers are guessing that the emperor may not be very optimistic about the eldest son, otherwise he would not have made him Prince An.
Many ministers who had originally been thinking about it became colder after hearing the emperor's canonization.
The eldest son of the emperor is not worth investing in.
How could Li Zhiyun not know the thoughts of the ministers below? He was just too lazy to find out. He conferred the title of Prince An on his eldest son not only for the sake of conferring the title, but also to prevent unnecessary fights.
He would never take out the titles of Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, etc. and canonize them casually. In addition, this is also an attempt. Before the crown prince is decided, he may also canonize his sons in this way.
Of course, the position of prince cannot be delayed any longer.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty."
"What's the matter, Wei Qing?"
"Your Majesty, the position of the East Palace is pending. It is not beneficial to the empire. I sincerely request your Majesty to decide on the East Palace as soon as possible to calm the people of the country."
"I second the proposal." Chen Shuda stepped out.
"I second the proposal." Several more ministers came out one after another.
Li Zhiyun didn't get angry either. He also knew that this matter could not be dragged on any longer. In the past, he could use the excuse that the princes were still young and who would be worthy of the big responsibilities. However, as the children grew up, this excuse could no longer be used.
Used. What's more, he has been on the throne for ten years and has not decided on the prince. It is indeed against the system and the ministers will be uneasy.

"What you all said makes sense," Li Zhiyun said.
Hearing this, all the ministers were immediately excited. Is the emperor going to decide on the prince today?
"Who do you think among my sons can be the crown prince?" Li Zhiyun asked.
The ministers looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while. Because they had no idea which prince the emperor liked more. If they made a mistake, it would be a big deal.
Wei Zheng said: "I am waiting for you, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the emperor said: "In that case, let's discuss it further."
After saying that, Li Zhiyun stood up and left.
"Quit the court!" Gao Liangzhong shouted, and then followed the emperor and left, leaving the ministers at a loss.
Is this all?
After leaving the court, the ministers walked together in small groups and whispered.
Xue Shou said: "It seems that His Majesty has not decided yet."
Du Ruhui said: "You and I must not interfere too much in this matter."
"That's natural. This is your Majesty's arbitrary decision. How can we say more?" Xue Hua nodded.
Qin Qiong had no feelings about this matter at all. He would not care about such things. He just wanted to go home and teach his son a lesson.
Unexpectedly, at this moment Jin Yang suddenly appeared in front with the palace maid and stopped Qin Qiong.
"My lord, please see Your Highness the Princess and say hello to Your Highness."
"The Duke of Yue is exempt from the ceremony." Jin Yang wore a veil and raised his hand gently.
Qin Qiong felt a little uneasy. Princess Jinyang was not here to hold her accountable.
Yes, it's really annoying for my son to say that kind of thing.
When the ministers saw Princess Jinyang stopping Qin Qiong, they thought that Princess Jinyang was here to make trouble and blame Qin Qiong for teaching his son poorly. Therefore, after receiving the ceremony, they hid aside to watch the show.
"I wonder what happened to Your Highness, Princess?" Qin Qiong lowered her head and asked.
Jin Yang asked: "I heard that Mr. Qin wants to imitate the achievements of the two famous generals Wei and Huo?"
Sure enough, Princess Jinyang is here to cause trouble.
Qin Qiong said bitterly: "Your Highness, the dog talked nonsense and annoyed Your Highness. It is all my fault. I apologize to Your Highness."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Jin Yang said with a cold voice: "Uncle Qin is my emperor's father's humerus hero. Jin Yang dare not disrespect Uncle Qin. I am here today. Please ask Uncle Qin to ask Mr. Qin for Jin Yang."
"What are you talking about?" Qin Qiong was stunned.
Jin Yang's eyes were calm and he asked slowly: "Now that the grassland has been leveled, isn't it too late to talk about Wei Huo's contribution?"
Qin Qiong had never thought about this. Hearing what Jin Yang said, he felt a little ashamed.
"The princess is absolutely right. Quanzi made the princess laugh."
Jin Yang's voice softened and he said: "Uncle Qin, just go and ask Mr. Qin. As for the rumors, Jin Yang doesn't take it to heart. Please don't worry, Uncle Qin."
Hearing this, Qin Qiong bowed again and said, "Your Highness is magnanimous. I would like to thank you very much for disregarding past grudges."
Jin Yang nodded gently, then turned around and left with the palace maid.
Watching Princess Jinyang leave, Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Princess Jinyang knew what was right and didn't blame her too much.
