When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 437 Li Xiuzhu wants to change the court discussion and criticism
Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu arrived at the palace early.

Today is the day when my father-in-law and eldest brother are buried together. Not only him, but also all the officials have been waiting for it.

Even Fu Wenhan, who was recuperating at home, came. Of course he came in a sedan.

When the ceremony began, the harem and officials cried bitterly, and Li Xiuzhu was no exception.

Now that there is no one in the royal family, the three surviving consorts, including Li Xiuzhu, must fulfill their obligations as heirs, including the princesses.

Although Li Xiuzhu couldn't cry at Li Kuo's words, he was still a little jealous when he thought of the prince's kindness to him.

He wiped his eyes, which didn't have a few tears, and those red eyes could block the mouths of the ministers.

"Enlightenment!"

With Wang Defa's shout, the coffin set off.

The funeral procession was huge, from the entrance of the palace to Xuanwu Gate.

However, the funeral procession was not dense. To put it bluntly, there were only 2000 people.

At this point, Li Xiuzhu no longer asked Fu Wenhan to follow him. His body could not support a long journey of one or two hundred miles, even by carriage.

Let alone one or two hundred miles, even one or two miles is difficult for Fu Wenhan.

The roads outside the capital are not as smooth as the stone roads inside the city.

Of course, most of the funeral carriages cannot seat people, only the funeral objects and coffins.

But because of the long distance.Women and old people can't travel, so they can still ride in carriages.

These carriages waited at the gate outside the capital, stopped at the foot of the cemetery hill, and then walked up the hill and back.

Besides him, there were also Li Biyao and Li Liuli in the carriage that Li Xiuzhu was riding in.

There were some palace maids and eunuchs on a carriage in front of them. The carriage was far away, but the sound of crying was still ringing.

In the past, Li Xiuzhu would have frowned at such an annoying voice, but he did not do so today.

Just because these are the people who will be buried with them.

Except for a few princesses and Ruan Wenjun, whose son died, they were probably the only ones who really cried.

Sacrifice and burial have been a tradition for emperors since ancient times, and Li Xiuzhu couldn't change it.

At least his status doesn't allow it.

If we really want to change the burial system, we can only start with his son.

This rule can only be changed by the emperor.

Fortunately, there were not many people buried, only a dozen or so people.

However, one of the eunuchs who was buried did not cry, but had a smile on his face.

This person is none other than Wan Xin.

If Li Xiuzhu promised to be satisfied, he would naturally do what he said.

After arriving at the imperial mausoleum, everyone did not go in, but just cried outside the imperial mausoleum.

Naturally, guards went in to attend the funeral, slaughtering the horses and strangling the maids and eunuchs who had been buried.

Of course, the rest of this matter has nothing to do with Li Xiuzhu.

After the mausoleum was sealed, he left with everyone.

"Li Hu, go and give this letter to a beggar, and say it's for their leader."

Li Hu was startled, but he didn't ask any more questions.

It was already dark, so Li Xiuzhu naturally would not wait for Huang Rong at this time, but made an appointment with Huang Rong to meet tomorrow.

But thinking about having to go to court early tomorrow gave him a headache.

Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu got up early and went to court. Although you don't need to go to court at dawn in this era, you still get it at dawn.

Although he is used to sleeping only for two hours a day, he is not used to getting up early.

Therefore, Li Xiuzhu yawned a little when he stood in front of the officials. "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well yesterday?"

After Li Xiuzhu glanced at the official who was speaking, he said, "It's true that I'm very tired after working for so many days."

"But it's not a big problem. It's okay to hold a court meeting."

"My lord, do you have any instructions for this court meeting that you need to be promoted?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard the words, only then did he realize that the other party had come to seek refuge with him.

After Li Xiuzhu heard this, he thought about it and didn't deny it. Instead, he said, "Excuse me..."

Li Xiuzhu suddenly realized with embarrassment that he still didn't know the old man's name.

As if he understood Li Xiuzhu's embarrassment, the little old man hurriedly said: "I'm going to be the imperial censor, Dr. Fan Zhongcheng."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Fan."

"No trouble, no trouble. It's an honor for a lower official to be promoted by the prince."

At this moment, the palace door opened. Li Xiuzhu, who was about to say something else, stopped talking and said, "Master Fan, the palace door is open. Let's chat when you have time, please."

"Your Highness, please."

Li Xiuzhu didn't give in, so he walked in first. Now he was the most civilized and military man in the court, so he didn't need to be too modest.

When all the officials gathered in the political hall, Wang Defa shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here."

At this time, there is a phoenix chair on the left and right sides of the Yizheng Hall, and there is also a screen in front of it.

Although it is said that people listen to government affairs with curtains, few people listen to government affairs in the court with bead curtains.

When Li Xiuzhu saw the two people being supported, he immediately knew what his first suggestion should be.

Wang Defa waited for the two of them to sit down, and then he continued to speak loudly: "Your Majesty will be buried in heaven. The late emperor has decreed that the dragon seed in the empress' belly will inherit the great treasure."

"Before the crown prince and the crown, the queen mother and empress dowager ruled the government. Li Xiuzhu, the Duke of Anyang County, was appointed as the regent to make all state affairs."

"When there is something to do, you will come to court, but when there is nothing to do, you will retreat from the court."

Hearing that all the officials were silent, they looked at Li Xiuzhu with their eyes, obviously planning to check the wind direction first.

When Li Xiuzhu saw the five people starting to play, he paused and took a step forward and said, "I have something to do."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu speak, Xiao Rongyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Xiao Rongyu speechlessly, and secretly thought that this girl had never experienced a harem dispute, so the Queen Mother should speak first at this time.

However, he did not correct him, but said directly: "Now that the empress is pregnant with the dragon seed, she also has to take care of the government affairs. I think it is too tiring and may hurt the prince."

At this moment, Baiguan was stunned, and his heart was shocked.

Come, come, this guy started to seize power as soon as he became the regent.

No wonder they think so, normal people would think so. In addition to the two women sitting above, there are also Bai Zhan, Luo Shicheng and Song Lian.

The two women above trusted him unconditionally, but the other three felt it was unreasonable.

If Li Xiuzhu is greedy for power, is there any better position than the emperor?

The imperial power has been rejected, so greedy for a regent?This is unreasonable.

Sure enough, Li Xiuzhu continued: "So I propose to change the time of the court meeting and go to court one hour later."

"Secondly, establish an imperial study room. One person from each of the civil and military officials and the imperial censor will be appointed to prepare memorials in three batches."

"Any memorial that does not cover the rise and fall of a place, involves the appointment and dismissal of officials above the seventh rank, and the rise and fall of the country, will be the responsibility of the imperial study room."

"The imperial study has a heavy responsibility, so naturally it has to shoulder a lot."

"Every matter decided by the Imperial Study Room, if something goes wrong, it will be the responsibility of the signatory of the Imperial Study Room. The memorial can only be executed if at least two people sign it."

"In addition, in addition to the censor, the selection of civil and military officials needs to be officials of the second grade and above."
