Man Tanghong

Chapter 572
When Li Yuanji took his son and daughter back to Wude Hall, it was already dark, and Yang Miaoyan and his people had already cleaned up the Wude Hall, which had been inhabited for a long time, and removed the meaning.

Li Yuanji handed over his son and daughter to their biological mother, and took Yang Miaoyan back to the bedroom.

There is a saying that a little goodbye is better than a newlywed, and a long absence is like a wolf.

Hailou City overnight.

The next day, before dawn, Li Yuanji got out of bed under Yang Miaoyan's service, put on court clothes, carried a lantern, and sat with Wang Huo to the Taiji Palace.

When he just returned to the mansion last night, Li Gang sent someone to spread the word that today is the great court meeting once every ten days, and he was asked to rush to the court hall as much as possible to preside over the overall situation.

He said as much as possible, but actually wanted him to come, so he couldn't refuse.

After all, when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were imprisoned, and Li Yuan put down the pick, if he didn't come forward to preside over the overall situation in the court, there would be no one to preside over it.

When Li Yuanji sat on Wang Huan and rushed to the Tai Chi Hall, Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and most of the other officials had already arrived.

The reason why it is said to be the vast majority is because there are still some officials who asked for leave for various reasons and did not go to court.

In this regard, Li Yuanji expressed his understanding.

After all, the power of the Tang Dynasty has just changed hands, and some courtiers loyal to Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin have not yet reacted, or are still looking forward to some reversal, so it is reasonable to find excuses not to go to court.

So he didn't say anything, he just dismounted Wang Huan amidst the greetings from civil and military courts, and walked into the hall slowly.

When he reached His Majesty, he stopped.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had different expressions.

Someone reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi please take your seat..."

Then came the sparse echoes.

The so-called "supreme seat" means to sit on the throne that belongs to Li Yuan alone.

Li Yuan hadn't abdicated yet, and Li Jiancheng hadn't been abolished either. Even if Li Yuanji was entrusted with the power to oversee the country, it wouldn't be easy for him to sit on the throne that belonged to Li Yuan grandly.

Li Yuanji could tell that the ministers were testing his attitude, testing whether he had ambitions to become emperor, testing whether he would monopolize the Tang dynasty while the emperor and the crown prince were still alive.

Li Yuanji was not fooled by them, he stood indifferently and asked Li Gang, "Have you sent someone to invite my father?"

Li Gang bowed with a complicated expression: "I sent someone there, but the saint refused, saying that everything in the court is up to you, and there is no need to invite him over."

The reason why Li Gang had a complicated expression was not because he was worried that Li Yuanji would take the opportunity to sit on the throne that belonged to Li Yuan, but because he was worried about Li Yuan's disregard for leaving the government behind.

Li Yuan's attitude lasted for a day or two, or a month or two, but if it lasted for a long time, people in the court and the opposition would only know that there was King Qi in the Tang Dynasty, but not that there was a His Majesty in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, whether Li Yuanji has the ambition to become emperor, everyone in the government and the opposition will enshrine Li Yuanji on the throne of emperor.

After all, once people in the ruling and opposition parties get used to Li Yuanji being in power, whether Li Yuanji is the emperor is not that important to them. As long as there is a little encouragement from those who are accustomed to flattery, Li Yuanji can easily and logically Climb to the throne of the emperor.

At that time, even if Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin all came out, they would not be able to stop them.

After all, once the people in the ruling and opposition parties get used to Li Yuanji's ruling, then all the power in the ruling and opposition parties will be in Li Yuanji's hands. It is difficult for Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin to pose a threat to Li Yuanji on their own.

To a certain extent, imperial power represents the general trend, and whoever holds the imperial power tightly is tantamount to holding on to the general trend.

Under the trend of the general trend, even if an individual has the ability to reach the sky, he will be destroyed and nothing will be left.

So Li Gang was full of worries about Li Yuan's attitude of giving everything to Li Yuanji, not caring about anything, and asking nothing.

But it's no use worrying.

After all, Li Yuan was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Under his rule, no one could force him to do what he didn't want to do.

"Then send someone to invite again..."

Li Yuanji ordered without hesitation.

Li Yuan could not come, but he had to send someone to invite him.

In front of all civil and military officials who are shameless in the public eye, it is difficult for him to act like a person who is particularly greedy for power and position.

He had to send someone to invite him three times and remind him four times, and only after the cutscenes were over, could the Great Court Meeting be held in a logical manner.

Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and other senior officials were obviously relieved when they heard this.

They were all afraid that Li Yuanji would be like a stunned young man who would not even leave the cutscene, so they couldn't wait to sit on the throne that belonged to Li Yuan.

In that case, those old ministers who belonged to Li Yuan would have an ugly face.

After all, although they are helping Li Yuanji now, they are still Li Yuan's courtiers in name.

If someone refuses to give Li Yuan even a bit of decency in front of them, and doesn't give them any respect, do you think they will resign from office or scold them?
What if I resigned from office, scolded someone, and was held by Li Yuanji to settle old scores?
What if I resigned from office, scolded someone, and was completely demoted to a commoner by Li Yuanji?
Some of them are very famous in the scholarly community, and they can live very well without power and official titles, but there are still some among them who live by power and official titles. Once they become officials, the enemies will swarm up like wolves and tear them and their families to pieces.

So it was definitely a good thing for them that Li Yuanji didn't put them in a dilemma.

"I obey the order, I will send someone to invite you immediately."

Xiao Yu was the first to bow in response to Li Yuanji's order.

There is no way, among the veterans, he belongs to the one who lives by power and rank.

Compared with Li Gang and Pei Ju, who had a high reputation in the shilin, and Chen Shuda, whose reputation in the shilin was about to catch up with Li Gang and Pei Ju, his reputation in the shilin was not high, and he couldn't get too high. Fame, because he is not only a member of the Nanliang royal family, but also a relative of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

As a survivor of the royal family and a senior relative, no matter how much good he did for Shilin, no matter how hard he worked for Shilin, he could not gain a high reputation from Shilin.

Therefore, he must ensure that his official rank is always at a fairly high level in order to maintain the wealth of his Xiao family.

As for the development of the Xiao family into a powerful family like the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, who can get rich without relying on the royal family's gifts, he dared not even think about it.

It took hundreds of years and many generations of hard work for the five surnames and Qiwang to develop into a powerful family, and it was not something he could catch up with if he wanted to.

Besides, he is a bereaved family of the royal family and a senior foreign relative. If he dares to develop his clan into a family with five surnames and Qiwang, others should doubt whether he has the heart to restore the country.

In the voice of Xiao Yu's order, a living roomer, a general manager, and a palace attendant Yushi went to Liangyi Hall where Li Yuan was located.

Half an hour later, the three of them came back and said the same thing as Li Gang had said before.

Li Yuanji ordered without hesitation: "Please again!"

The three of them rushed to the Hall of Liangyi again.

Half an hour later, another person was brought back, and that was Liu Jun.

Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the court, Liu Jun walked to the middle of His Majesty, and announced loudly, "The Holy Spirit... I am not feeling well and need to rest in bed... From now on, the affairs of the government and the public will be handed over to King Li of Qi. Yuanji's disposal... this..."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed together and said: "The minister waits to obey the order..."

Liu Jun nodded his head, then, under the watchful eyes of Man Chao Wenwu, he shook the whisk in his hand and left the Tai Chi Hall.

With Li Yuan's oral order, there is no need to invite any more, and the grand court meeting can begin.

However, before the grand court meeting, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty respectfully invited Li Yuanji to take the seat again.

This time, Li Yuanji neither refused nor agreed.

Instead, he ordered someone to bring a set of cushions and a table, placed them in the center of His Majesty, and then slowly sat down.

Logically speaking, Li Yuanji was in charge of supervising the country, so he could sit at His Majesty's Majesty without Li Yuan's absence.

But the prince is still there, and the position of prince has not been abolished.

Li Yuanji is also not good at exercising the privileges that only the prince has.

After all, although the prince is not an emperor, he is also a king, and a king is qualified to sit on the 'Dragon Chair'.

Although he has the power to oversee the country, he is a prince, a minister, and it is not easy to overstep as a minister.

So he simply gave the prince a face and gave himself a seat in His Majesty.

Anyway, he already holds the power in his hands, there is no need for him to do such things as making a name for himself, and going to the 'dragon chair' to show off his prestige.

Because that didn't do him any good, and instead brought him a lot of criticism.

The current Datang needs to be stable, stable, and stable again.

"Let's go to court!"

Without the help of his companion from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Yuanji could only declare his courtship by himself.

After hearing his words, the imperial servant in front of the palace bowed and walked into the palace, and announced loudly, "Go up to court!"

Then many visitors in front of the hall repeated loudly together, and transmitted their voices to every corner in front of the Tai Chi Hall.

In many film and television dramas, it is the eunuch who announces the court, but it is not the case.

At the official court meeting, the one who really announced the court and counted was the imperial servant in front of the palace.

They not only shoulder the responsibility of announcing the court, but also shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the discipline of the court.

Those who make noise, fight, swear, and speak nonsense in the court hall are under their control.

They can declare silence, or ask Qianniu Yuwei (formerly Qianniu Beishen) in front of the hall to fork people out.

Then impeach a certain official to the emperor for his disrespect in front of the palace.

Of course, this is all limited to the situation where the emperor does not speak, and when the emperor speaks, they naturally dare not overstep the bounds.

The reason why most of the people in front of the hall want to transmit the voice of going to court to every corner in front of the Taiji Hall is because most of the officials in Beijing have to come to participate in the grand court assembly.

But the Tai Chi Hall is so big that it cannot accommodate hundreds of officials at all, so only officials in red and purple costumes can enter the hall, and the rest of the officials can only listen to the announcement outside the hall.
