His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 285

On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, two imperial edicts were issued.

One is to announce to the world that the new emperor ascended the throne and officially changed the Yuan to Jiajing, and this year is the first year of Jiajing.

The second is about the crown prince Liangdi in the East Palace who happened to give birth to another prince on the auspicious day when the new emperor ascended the throne, and was named the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is the same as the vice queen.

This position originated in the Xuanzong period of the previous dynasty.

It is said that Xuanzong had a little Qingmei who grew up with him since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, Xiao Qingmei was canonized as a noble concubine.

But Xuanzong loved the imperial concubine very much, so he made an exception to let her enjoy the golden book and treasure like a queen, and the title of "imperial imperial concubine" came from this.

A few years later, Xuanzong directly made Xiao Qingmei his queen.

And because of this, in all subsequent dynasties, there have been precedents for the imperial concubine to become the head of the harem.

So everyone tacitly agreed that becoming an imperial concubine, without accident, was equivalent to a transition to a later position.

Although some people had such speculation early in the morning, many people still felt that it was very inappropriate to hear that His Majesty had conferred such a woman from a poor family as imperial concubine, and even faintly wanted her to sit in the back seat.

But today is not only the day when His Majesty enthroned, but also the day when the prince was born, and the limelight is in full swing. It is inevitable that they would be untenable if they jumped out to oppose it at this time.

Besides, this is the time for them to show their loyalty in front of the new emperor. If someone disagrees with His Majesty on the first day of enthronement, they will not be able to go far in the future.

Why don't they stand up and argue with reason in the future when His Majesty wants to let that person take the throne, and it's the best policy to move them with emotion and understand them with reason!
But that's just what some people think.

In recent years, although the court has been rectified, it has also been divided into three forces to check and balance each other.

The poor family was naturally extremely happy with this result. They even made a lot of preparations before, and they must do their best to help Chen's daughter to the back.

But I didn't expect that His Majesty would faintly convey this meaning without them saying anything.

Suddenly, there is a feeling that heroes are useless...

The other faction is a proper neutral faction, whose background is a little bit stronger than that of the humble family, and a bit worse than that of the top family.

It was just now that they, the courtiers, had to take a step back at this time, and could not oppose His Majesty immediately, and it was their idea to satisfy His Majesty's affection for his concubine for the time being.

As for the last faction, there are those like Cui Xie who still have a lot of influence in the court, and some old noble families like the Li family.

Nothing, but they are also staring at that position!
The empresses of the Dajing Dynasty were all born in famous families, with excellent statements and outstanding virtues, and only those who were able to bear the responsibility of mothering the world.

Like Di Donggong Liangdi, whose father was only a third-rank Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, if he was in a local area, this official position could be considered a high official.

But here is Shangjing City.

Just throwing a stone can hit a first- and second-rank official or the son of the county prince of Xungui's family.

The Chen family has no foundation, how can it be a descendant?
The Li family is the most restless.

The first ones to question His Majesty's actions were those from the Li family of the Ministry of War.

Although the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is Mr. Xie Ruixie, the entire Ministry of War is not dominated by the Xie family, and the Li family also has a place in the Ministry of War.

Li Xingyun, who was transferred back to Shangjing from the northwest three years ago, is now serving as the right servant of the Ministry of War.

After Kang Eunuch read out His Majesty's second edict, he stood up.

"Your Majesty! The minister has a play."

The new emperor stood on the imperial steps, looked at the person standing in the middle of the hall through the tassels in front of his eyes, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh? At this time, why is Ai Qing playing?"

The implication is that on today's big day, don't say any more spoiling things.

Li Xingyun was originally a general, how could he hear the twists and turns in this short sentence?
Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, Li Xingyun headed to the railway:
"Your Majesty, now my Dajing seems to be safe at the border, and the surroundings are stable, but it does not mean that there is no danger! The surrounding small countries have repeatedly tried to invade the border, and the soldiers returned soon after they were expelled. The war between my Dajing and other countries can be described as It's instant!"

Ministers:? ? ?
What is this stinky-footed warrior talking about?
The new emperor smiled very gently: "What Aiqing said is very true, but I have a million soldiers in Dajing, and the people have enough food and clothing. If there is a war, there will be a million soldiers, so I don't have to be afraid of it."

Hundreds of officials also think so.

Their Dajing is no longer the Dajing with a big shell.

However, Li Xingyun continued to say: "Your Majesty is wise! Dajing has a wise and powerful monarch like you and the Supreme Emperor, and only then can he be as strong as he is today!"

Xindi said: This flattery came a little unexpectedly?

"However, Your Majesty is a wise king! I know that even if I have a strong army and no fear of foreign enemies, Your Majesty would not want to fight again. If we fight together, people will suffer. It is the people who suffer..."

Li Xingyun's face was full of pain, and what he said really made the new emperor unable to refute.

Is he a fool?
Don't know you can't fight casually?
"Li Aiqing is worthy of being a soldier who has guarded the border. She is so considerate of the people's feelings. She should be a role model for all lords! Yes, I don't want the border to be a mess again. It is the innocent Li people who are suffering."

The new emperor praised him very much, and waited quietly for the text he had prepared for a long time.

"Your Majesty is wise! I dare to say that if the border is to be stable, the stability of our country in Dajing is especially important. Therefore, Your Majesty should appease the old minister so that the court will be united..."

This detour has been going around for a long time, and almost fainted all the civil and military officials in the hall.

The new emperor hooked the corners of his mouth, and his voice became more and more gentle:

"Master Li thinks, how can I appease the old officials, how can I make the whole court agree?"

Those who have a clever mind have already seen some signs of it.

Standing in the second row, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites quietly turned his head, met the eyes of the people behind him, and then stood out holding his own Yugui.

"Your Majesty! I think Master Li's words are inappropriate!"

"Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's minister on the shore of the land? We are willing to do everything for Dajing and His Majesty. We will die and die. How can we be comforted? How can we not be of one mind?"

Cen Shangshu's hat is too big.

All the ministers quickly expressed their support, and shouted in unison: "The ministers are willing to do their best for Dajing and His Majesty, and die!"

Li Xingyun, who was standing alone in the middle of the hall, turned red with anger.

He clenched his fists in his wide sleeves tightly and knelt down.

"It's the minister's slip of the tongue, but the loyalty of the minister to Dajing and His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the universe has not yet stabilized. It is reasonable to accept the harem to appease the former court. The daughter of Chen's family background is low, and her family is of no benefit to Your Majesty. How can she be a deputy queen?"

Chen Yanzhi:? ? ?

After all, I am a third-rank official, not much better than you, a fifth-rank little servant?
At this moment, Mr. Chen has already forgotten that he has endured hardship for more than [-] years before he reached his current position...
