Chapter 450 The Pillar of the Kingdom, the Sea God Needle

"Your Majesty hasn't come yet?"

When Empress Wu and Empress entered the arena with a group of wives and saw the vacant main seat, the eyes of the former flickered slightly, while the expression of the latter changed uncontrollably.

Politicians must show their faces from time to time. The sage is the [-]th Five-Year Honor, and the lord of a country must appear in front of people. If he does not show up from the beginning to the end, the officials will inevitably panic, and there will even be terrible conjectures that the sage has died and will not be mourned. .

However, due to the time-consuming and labor-intensive etiquette, unless the kind of energy is particularly strong, generally they will not accompany them throughout the process.

In fact, if you want to know how the emperor is in health, you can get a glimpse of whether they can hold a court meeting and how long they can accompany them in the court meeting.

Li Hong has basically stopped the court meeting recently. The grand meeting of presenting prisoners is more important than the grand court meeting, but he has not shown up for a long time, and his physical condition is naturally very bad.

Thinking of this, Empress Wu straightened her back even more when she was sitting on the seat, looking refreshed and dignified.

The eyes of the officials first looked at the empress who had an ugly face and was restless, and then subconsciously focused on the empress dowager who was expressionless and full of aura.

It has to be said that once these two are compared, it is true that they are superior.

Not to mention the undercurrents on the high stage, the performances below are also one after another.

When the sky darkened, the lights were turned on, and the big music led by Jin Famin and his son played to its climax, the announcement finally sounded: "The saint is here!!"

The officials stood up immediately, and Empress Wu and the Empress also stood up, watching a tall and closed imperial chariot being carried over from a distance.

Li Hong had been rewarded by Li Zhi for the emperor's chariot since he was a prince, and he sat in it all the time in the palace, but compared to before, this time the imperial chariot was covered with curtains, and only a figure could be vaguely seen sitting in it.

"You refuse my help, what's the difference between you and the former emperor who sat in the royal tent?"

The corner of Empress Wu's mouth twitched into a sneer, and she glanced at Li Yan who was accompanying her, her eyes suddenly became sharp: "You don't trust your family, but you trust foreign ministers, what a fool!"

Li Yan's sensitivity was so sharp, he immediately looked back, but there was no harshness in his eyes, as usual calm and calm.

Empress Wu snorted coldly, and looked away: "Li Yuanfang, you can stay calm now, let's see how long you can last!"

With the emperor's support, even the empress dowager himself can't help this powerful minister. When the most trusted emperor is gone, it won't be too late to fight again!

Seeing the emperor's chariot being carried to the grand throne, Li Hong seemed to be forced to cheer up from inside: "Everyone, please forgive me. It is my great fortune to join hands with the public and participate in this grand event this time!"

All the ministers sang together: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

This is a prepared etiquette, but at this time, there is always a faint feeling of insincerity.

Even Jin Famin and his son on the stage felt abnormal.

When Jin Zhengming and his father danced their arms together, he said in a low voice: "Father, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is obviously going to die. He has only one only son, and he is still very young. The signs of chaos have already appeared!"

Jin Famin looked up at the sky and stared at the stars, and made a wish: "The people of the Tang Dynasty died and the government was in chaos. This is my chance to restore the country to Silla. God is helping me!"

The father and son felt that they saw hope, and desperately suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts. They really danced with full enthusiasm, and even attracted the eyes of many courtiers.

Li Yan just watched it with great interest, and felt that the Silla people could do nothing else, and they really had a talent for dancing.

In the future, every big festival, let the Silla boy band go up to dance, which is also a beautiful scenery.

The other courtiers did not have such a good attitude as him. A grand event that should have been joyous and inspiring came to an unsatisfactory end.

When the sage returned to the palace on the emperor's chariot, all the ministers retired, and as soon as they left the palace city, many people gathered towards Li Yan.

There is no doubt that Di Renjie, Qiu Shenji and other internal guards' cronies, Miao Shenke, Yuan Wanqing and other low-ranking officials headed by former Beimen scholars followed without hesitation. Even Xue Chuyu, who was originally in the ranks of generals, did not hesitate After whispering a few words with his elder brother Xue Na, they also moved closer to this side.

Although Xue Chuyu is young, but now that Xue Rengui has been restored, with the prestige and influence of that old general in the army, his statement cannot be ignored.

The other courtiers couldn't help but stare sideways at him, their expressions becoming serious.

I didn't think so before, but I just thought that Li Ge had strong leadership skills and was well versed in the way of being an official, so that he could gain the trust of the emperors of the two dynasties.

But now it seems that not only is he radiant, but at such a young age, he has already gathered so many capable ministers. Even if he doesn't consider his background at all, he seems to be an important backbone in the court.

Li Yan sensed the attention of all parties and did not take it seriously. Now is indeed not the time to keep a low profile. He brought everyone back to the Li Mansion and took their seats in the main hall.

The tea was served, and everyone moistened their throats first. After adjusting their state, Li Yan cut straight to the point and dropped a bombshell: "Just now, His Majesty intends to let Huaiying join the cabinet to fill the position of minister."

Qiu Shenji smiled, didn't he think that way before, didn't expect the saint to see the same thing as him?
Di Renjie's face changed dramatically, he was surprised instead of happy, and just about to speak, Li Yan said: "I declined on Huaiying's behalf, Your Majesty is good at accepting advice, and does not force it."

Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely: "Liu Lang knows me! Thank you Liu Lang!"

Li Yan said with a smile: "That's you, Huaiying. If you were someone else, I'm afraid even if you know it's not suitable, you'll be fascinated. After all, you're the prime minister!"

Miao Shenke couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, my lifelong wish is to become a chancellor. Even if it's a bit too hasty, I still can't help but feel moved when I think of that position. Di Yunshi is really very human!"

Di Renjie smiled wryly: "Miao Langzhong is absurd, I also have this great wish in my life, but I am suddenly honored and favored, I am afraid that I will lose to the community, and I will be blamed even if I die!"

Everyone respected him, but they couldn't help feeling chills when they thought of the reasons behind the sage's impatient promotion of Di Renjie.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qiu Shenji simply represented everyone's feelings and asked the most crucial question: "Liulang, how sick is the sage dragon?"

Everyone held their breath and looked at the main seat without blinking. Li Yan didn't pretend to hesitate, and said directly: "It's still unknown, and I don't dare to guarantee it. I can only say that I will do my best to save it."

Everyone was stunned: "The unknown number? Do your best to restore it?"

Since the sage fell ill from Qinzheng, he no longer went to court early. In fact, everyone has prepared, but we can't determine the time.

After all, the first emperor also fell ill early, and it took more than ten years before he passed away. Even if the saint was sick and weak since childhood, after all, he was very young, only twenty-five years old, so he should be able to delay it?
What they actually asked was whether it would be in the near future, and they didn't expect to get such an answer.

Li Yan couldn't explain in detail. Although he believed in the people present, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Before Li Hong's health really improved, this tone was impenetrable. Movement, especially those who are not practical at all, only know about fighting for power and profit, think that they have seen an opportunity, everyone should perform their duties, especially Cao Si's transshipment envoy, which is related to the administrative efficiency of various states and counties, absolutely must not give up halfway!"

Everyone was silent for a while, their faces were a little ugly, and they responded unevenly: "Yes!"

Li Yan said solemnly: "Civil and military policy is laid out in the right direction. If a person survives, his policy will be implemented. If a person dies, his policy will cease. I know everyone is worried. Once your majesty is seriously ill, the policy of reform will be repeated. , the painstaking efforts spent on Cao Si will be wasted!"

"But in fact, there are still many situations in which people do not perish and the government rests. The promotion of every reform is inherently arduous. We can't even hope for earth-shaking changes in a short period of time, because that is simply unrealistic. Only down-to-earth Every time I make progress, the lives of the common people will be better, and my Great Tang Dynasty will become more worthy of the name."

"Of course, this is a bit of empty talk. In fact, I am also worried that the changes made so far will be destroyed in the future, and history will return to a similar track. Transferred by human will."

"But if everyone thinks like this, maybe we still have the enfeoffment system, and even counties and counties no longer exist. That is the change made by the Great Qin Shihuang!"

"It has been a thousand years since the centralization of power, and the system of prefectures and counties is still the same. In another thousand years, I am afraid that it will not change!"

"Qin Li II died, but survived for thousands of generations, because the changes it promoted have been passed down from generation to generation, and the spirit of Da Qin is active in this land in another way!"

"so!"

"Speaking more closely, if our final results can affect several generations, it will be worth living in the next world!"

"Speaking from a distance, what we are doing today and the positive changes made by all the reformers are like counties and counties in Daqin, passed down from generation to generation and will never stop!"

"What do you think?"

Di Renjie's eyes were bright, and Miao Shenke and others were also deeply affected. Everyone in the hall stood up together and said sincerely: "With Li Ge leading me, our hearts are settled. I hope that only Li Ge leading the way will change this situation. Injustice in the world is passed down from generation to generation and will never end!"

Li Yan raised his glass: "On the contrary, it is the good fortune of my Tang Dynasty and the good fortune of all people in the world to have you hardworking people! I respect you! Please!"

Everyone drank together, and the atmosphere really settled down.

They are people who do things on weekdays and believe in their own achievements rather than empty promises.

But after this battle, I suddenly discovered how important it is to have a leader to stabilize people's hearts.

As long as the youngest leader of the cabinet, General Zhongwu, returns to Luoyang, confidence will arise spontaneously, he will be more motivated to work, and have more hope for the future.

With this pillar of the country, the God of Dinghai, there will be no chaos in the Tang Dynasty!
