Li Ye read out the contents of the imperial edict in his hand one by one in an unconvincing tone.
After the words "Qin" were finished, the entire Qinzheng Hall became silent, and everyone's expressions were stunned, obviously they couldn't believe the content of the imperial edict they had just heard.
Even Young Master Liu, who was involved, opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the imperial edict in Li Ye's hand.
He was not surprised by the title of King Yizi. Li Zheng mentioned this matter when he was in power, and Li Baiyu also mentioned it again when he was in power.
It can be said that Mr. Liu is completely mentally prepared for the position of "side by side" king.
What shocked Young Master Liu was his fiefdom.
There are twenty-seven prefectures and one hundred and fifty-two prefectures north of Fengyundu in Xinzhou Prefecture. What a huge fiefdom this is.
Although it's not half as big as Dalong, it's still close.
Although the bitter cold in the north is incomparable with the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, this is more than the fiefdom that a king with a different surname should have.
Not to mention, just look at the brothers Li Yunlong and Li Baihong. As the biological sons of Li Zheng, the most fiefdoms under their rule would not exceed the number of three mansions.
Liu Mingzhi originally thought that he would be quite satisfied if he could just sit in a house.
Twenty-seven prefectures, one hundred and fifty-two states.
Li Baiyu dared to give it, but he didn't dare to ask for it.
Once you accept this reward, you will be the well-deserved emperor of the North.
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.
As long as he accepts this reward, it can be said that he will never have any friends in the entire court.
If others do not alienate themselves, they do not dare to have close relationships with any officials above the court.
He holds a large number of troops, controls half of the country, and has close contacts with important officials in the court. Even though he is magnanimous and has a clear conscience, others will not believe him no matter what.
Once the power exceeds the strength that a minister should have.
You can become disloyal even if you are loyal.
I can't help myself.
If the current emperor was Li Baiyu, I might dare to accept it after thinking about it.
But the person sitting on the dragon throne now is not Li Baiyu, let alone Li Zheng.
But no one knows what kind of ambition and strategy the new king Li Ye has.
There was silence in the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and it was Liu Mingzhi who was the first to react.
"How can I, Liu Mingzhi, be so virtuous and dare to take on this important task? Your Majesty, please wait until the late emperor takes back his orders."
As soon as Liu Mingzhi spoke, the Qinzheng Palace suddenly became noisy, and the whispers of civil and military officials could not be covered up at all. At this time, Li Ye had no time to care about whether the officials were disobeying the emperor.
He himself was also a little at a loss as he looked at Liu Mingzhi who was looking at him respectfully.
He has not yet been made the prince by Li Baiyu, and he has no idea about many things in the court. However, he has never received the teachings of the prince or tutor. Li Ye is ten and four years old this year, and he is not a fool.
Just because you don't know these things doesn't mean you don't have a general concept in mind.
Twenty-seven mansions.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye who couldn't react, bowed again and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, respectfully requests that Your Majesty take back the order on behalf of the late Emperor. I am afraid that your Majesty's hard work will be wasted because of his unworthy virtue and unmatched conduct."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to take back your order."
Li Ye came back to his senses and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a dazed look in his eyes. He had not dealt with government affairs before registering for the first time and had no idea how to deal with such a situation.
But fortunately, Li Ye stayed by Li Baiyu's side for a long time, so he didn't lose his mind completely.
In his mind, he recalled the teachings given by his mother and concubine last night, and then recalled the careful teachings given to him by Young Master Liu on the way back to Beijing. He took a few deep breaths, placed the imperial edict in his hand on the dragon table, and slowly sat on the dragon chair.
superior.
"My dear friends, what do you think? Should I take back my life on behalf of the late Emperor?"
Hearing Li Ye's slightly childish voice, many officials gradually withdrew their whispers and looked at Li Ye again.
Song Yu, the Minister of War, had some struggle in his eyes, and his eyes wandered over Young Master Liu and Li Ye from time to time.
Personally speaking, his relationship with his second son Liu Zhi'an is closer than that of his biological brothers. Liu Mingzhi can be said to be half of his son.
Your own child is a great minister, and it is a good thing to honor your ancestors by breaking the earth and becoming a king.
Based on the brotherly relationship between his biological son Song Qing and Liu Mingzhi, Liu Mingzhi is a very popular minister, and his son will also rise with the tide, and he will surely have unlimited glory in the future.
However, as far as Mr. Yu is concerned, is it really a good thing that half of Dalong's kingdom is awarded to a prince with a different surname?
It does not seem to be a good thing for the imperial court. It takes charge of all military and political affairs. If Liu Mingzhi has any thoughts, the imperial court will be in crisis.
Song Yu had been an official for many years, and the education he received since childhood was to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Various experiences over the years have proven that there is no need to doubt Song Yu's loyalty to the imperial court.
But privately, the relationship between father and son, Song Yu and Liu, was extremely deep.
Song Yu always thought that he was a person who could distinguish between public and private matters.
However, in this situation, Song Yu suddenly found that he could not distinguish between public and private matters at all, and instead fell into a dilemma.
The officials below were communicating silently with their eyes, and the auxiliary ministers appointed by Li Zheng were also thinking silently.
On the right, Tong Sansi looked at the sincere expression of Young Master Liu looking at Li Ye. There was a hint of fear in the eyes of the old Mingrui. In Tong Sansi's eyes, Liu Mingzhi, a junior fellow student from the same academy, had already
It is not as simple as young talents.
Today, Liu Mingzhi has grown into a behemoth in just ten years in the court.
A behemoth that no one dares to shake easily.
Wei Yong's reaction was much duller than Tong Sansi's, but looking at his deep eyes, it can be seen that Wei Yong's current mood may not be much better than Tong Sansi's.
Xia Gongming's old fingers gently twirled the Chao Hut in his hand, and his old eyes with hidden light moved from time to time, obviously thinking about something.
Li Ye looked at the situation under the dragon platform, and the expression on his face gradually became calm.
After a short period of recovery, Li Ye has gradually mastered some of the ways to be a king.
You don’t have to be a saint, but you must know how to employ people.
Seeing Li Ye's expression, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but sweat break out on his forehead. His eyes were tangled and he glanced at the surrounding officials from time to time, feeling helpless.
Don't you always wish that I was doing something bad? Why don't you give me advice?
Xia Gongming, who turned his eyes slightly, seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously glanced at the imperial seal on the dragon case, with an unpredictable smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Li Ye's eyes lit up and he looked at Xia Gongming.
"Old dear, I am ready to tell you. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
Xia Gongming glanced at Young Master Liu and stood up holding the imperial hut: "Report to your Majesty, I, Dalong, have governed the country with loyalty and filial piety since the founding of the country."
"The death of the late emperor is the most important thing. It would be disobedient and unfilial for Your Majesty to take back his life on behalf of the late emperor."
"The old minister advised me that your majesty cannot take back your life. The reward received by King Liang is a matter of course."
"Both Ruizong and Wu Zong said that those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished."
"The King of Liang has made outstanding contributions. If he doesn't reward him, how can he convince the public and educate all the people?"
Wei Yong and Tong Sansi looked at Xia Gongming blankly, wondering what kind of medicine Xia Gongming was selling in his gourd.
However, following Xia Gongming's gaze, Wei and Yong seemed to understand something, and murmured thoughtfully for a moment.
"Your Majesty, veteran Wei Yong seconded the proposal."
"Old minister Tong thinks twice and agrees."
The three auxiliary ministers all agreed. Naturally, the civil and military officials had nothing to say, and they all raised their heads to support the proposal.
In just half a stick of incense, Young Master Liu's reward was a foregone conclusion.
