Li Ye stared at the officials with a look of bitterness and hatred, and finally showed a smile at Liu Mingzhi's actions, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with eyes full of relief and gratitude.
“The king side by side is truly loyal to the country and a good minister with unparalleled loyalty. I am very relieved.”
What Li Ye said cheerfully to Liu Mingzhi was so harsh in the ears of the officials.
Wei Yong and Tong Sansi looked at Li Ye with stiff faces, then at Liu Mingzhi, and lowered their heads silently, not knowing what they were thinking.
Old man Xia didn't have much reaction. He just sighed silently and fumbled in his sleeves.
“Xiao Dezi, please bring up the seal in King Bingjian’s hand!”
“We obey the order.”
Xiao Dezi smiled and nodded at Young Master Liu, and then took the seal from Young Master Liu's hand. When he turned around, he glanced at Wei Yong and the others, silently shook his head and climbed up to the dragon platform.
“The old minister has returned to his post!”
“Alright, take a seat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
When Liu Mingzhi turned around, he glanced thoughtfully behind the curtain leading to the back hall. Just when he finished speaking, he seemed to vaguely hear a woman's slightly joyful conversation coming from the back hall. .
At this time, the women who dare to appear in the rear of the palace are, if nothing else, nine out of ten, the Empress Dowager Nangong Meng and the Empress Dowager Chen Jie.
It seems that Li Ye is not the only one who took over the power this time.
Could it be that in the past six months, Wei Yong and the three assistant ministers have done something that even Nangong Meng, the empress dowager who has experienced many storms, can't even look at it?
That’s why the two of them agreed that Li Ye should take back the rights of the auxiliary minister.
Li Ye is currently taking back the rights of the auxiliary minister and wants to take charge of the government. Of course, it has great benefits. However, if it is handled incorrectly, the disadvantages will also be significant.
Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
It depends on how he handles the relationship with the Manchu civil and military officials after taking back the power of the auxiliary minister.
If something goes wrong, I'm afraid that being close to the government will be counterproductive.
Liu Mingzhi knelt down and sat in his seat. The old god was gently shaking the folding fan, and the thinking in his eyes never stopped.
Li Ye took the seal handed over by Xiao Dezi, looked at it, put it on the table, and then looked at Wei Yong and the other three people with different expressions.

“Three old beloved ministers, even King Bingjian did not dare to disobey the late Emperor Ruizong’s will and handed over his rights as assistant ministers as scheduled. Do you think you are more noble than King Bingjian?
Or has Ruizhong been in power for a long time, and you are so bold that you dare to disobey the words of the late Emperor Ruizong?
Do you still have a court in your eyes? Do you have me as your emperor?"
"I dare not, Your Majesty, please calm down."
“You say you don’t dare, but what you are doing today is any different from rebelling and bullying the emperor?
You are telling me to calm down, but have you ever reflected on how rebellious your actions are?
If the three old dear friends still have not made up their minds, I will give you three more days. I don’t want to see today’s answer again at the next court meeting.”
Li Ye’s words seemed to give the three of them a step down, but in fact they were full of warnings.
If the three of them are really ignorant and continue to delay this matter, it will be tantamount to admitting that they are more noble than Liu Mingzhi and thinking that they dare to do things that the King of Side by Side does not dare to do.
The three of them were not fools, and they immediately understood that His Majesty would no longer use the banner of Ruizhong to oppress them and others.
Rather, he used the power of a king to suppress himself and others.
Although King Pingjian has just committed an act of antagonism against himself and other important ministers in the court, do he and others dare to openly go against King Pingjian who holds a heavy army?
If you want to come, you can only come in secret.
Obviously, I and others have no choice but to submit.
After all, His Majesty’s balance has now tilted towards King Bingjian.
If you insist on it, you and others will not get any advantage.
Many elders of the three dynasties sighed silently, thinking that they and others had underestimated His Majesty's methods.
To weigh the means of suppressing each other in this way, not to mention the late Emperor Wu Zong who died young, even the late Emperor Ruizhong did not have such means when he was still alive at his age.
The emperor is so sage, sharp, and proficient in the art of strategy, which is the sign of a holy king. However, he used it on himself and others. For a while, the ministers in the court did not know whether to be happy or sad.
Xia Gongming gently took out the seal in his hand and looked at the stern eyes of Li Ye who was sitting on the dragon chair. Instead of being reprimanded, his old eyes were filled with relief.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting old and I no longer have the ambition I had back then, or maybe I think too much.
It may not be the best time for His Majesty to take charge of the government at this time.
Compared with the decisiveness of King Bingjian, am I too afraid of wolves in front and tigers in back?
With King Bingjian vigorously resisting behind the scenes, even if His Majesty does some slightly foolish behavior during his time in charge, there won't be any big drawbacks.
Just like Ren Wenyue, the father-in-law of the country, who had great power to influence the will of the government and the public through the power of the queen, fell into the hands of the King of Pingjian, wouldn't he not even be qualified to be the enemy of Yihe?
What are you worrying about?
“Your Majesty, since the princes are willing to support your majesty’s pro-government, I will no longer do anything that goes against the will of the Holy Spirit. I don’t need three days to think about it. I am also willing to hand over my post of assistant government at this moment.
Your Majesty, please take back the seal."
Wei Yong and Tong Sansi, who were still hesitating whether to hold on, had already surrendered in the blink of an eye when they saw the old man Xia Gongming. They handed over their seals, frowned, and took out their own seals one after another with stiff faces.
The seal of the Vice-Chancellor.
"Since your Majesty insists on pro-government, the old minister is now at ease and no longer has to work hard. Please take back the seal."
“The old minister persists in trying to share His Majesty’s worries, which inevitably seems to be disrespectful. Now that His Majesty has decided to take charge of the government, the veteran no longer insists on doing all the hard work for His Majesty.”
Xia Gongming and the other three, following Liu Dashao, took out the seals of their assistant ministers and prepared to hand them over.
It was as if the admonishment to Li Ye just now had not happened, and he was talking about how hard he had worked hard not to hand over the seal.
expresses a large number of words of loyalty.
As to how many of these words are true and how many are false, only they themselves know clearly in their own hearts.
Xiao Dezi was very discerning, and without waiting for Li Ye to give him a signal, he took the fly whisk and walked towards the three people under the dragon platform.
He nodded cheerfully and took back the seals in the hands of the three people. However, compared to the smiles he gave to Young Master Liu, Xiao Dezi's smiles to the three people were a little more polite and less sincere.
When Xiao Dezi turned around with the three seals in hand, he looked at Mr. Liu who was kneeling there and nodded cheerfully again, his smile full of flattery and sincerity.
Most of the officials who saw this had mixed feelings.
Although King Bingjian lost the power of control over the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War, and Dali Temple, with the active flattery of Princess Virtue, who was about to become the chief steward, who dares to say that King Bingjian had no foundation in the court.
Successor to the general manager Zhou Fei during the reign of Emperor Ruizong, and the general manager Zeng Hai during the reign of Emperor Wu Zong, King Bingjian had an invisible friendship with a general manager.
“Your Majesty, the seals of the three lords.”
“Well, let it go!”
offices
Liu Mingzhi has been watching every move of everyone in the palace.
Seeing that Li Ye had taken back the seal of the Assistant Minister as he wished, Liu Mingzhi twirled his finger, raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
I have underestimated Li Ye's methods.
At first I thought he wanted to use himself to weigh up the important ministers in the court, but now it seems that this guy has unknowingly borrowed his own power.
It’s so easy to move a thousand pounds with one move.
The emperor just came to borrow the influence of a minister, which was quite embarrassing.
It seems that this was the trick that my father, Emperor Li Zheng, liked to play the most back then.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the palace door behind the dragon chair, and gently waved the folding fan in his hand again.
This court full of intrigues is a bit interesting.
Li Ye, the new little emperor, is even more interesting.
