The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 713
"The emperor Li Jingda committed a heinous crime, and the minister Han Xizai asked to kill this thief!" No, Li Congjia should be called Li Yu at this time.

Now Li Yu has completely grasped the overall situation, and other people are also very satisfied with his being the emperor, because he was originally the heir to the throne.

"My minister also agrees with Master Han Xizai's opinion. This is a crime of treason and immorality, and it must not be forgiven. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

It was rare for Feng Yansi to agree with Han Xizai. In the past, when the two met, they would quarrel with each other, but on this matter, their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

The other ministers also wanted to kill Li Jingda without exception, and the others didn't dare to say anything.

"But he is still my fourth uncle. Does this make people in the world say that I am not filial?"

Whether Li Yu said this to show his kindness or something else, everyone didn't know, but he could hear him say that he didn't want to kill Li Jingda.

"The emperor is so-called self-cultivation, governing the family, governing the country and the world. What King Qi has done today is no longer an ordinary family matter. He has risen to the level of a country. This is treason, this is rebellion."

Feng Yansi said persistently, seeing that Li Yu didn't speak, he continued:

"Your Majesty, this has been a serious crime since ancient times. This is what King Qi is doing now. If he is not given a heavy punishment, it is impossible to deter other people. Maybe there will be other people in the future. Therefore, the death penalty must be imposed.”

Feng Yansi definitely wanted to kill Li Jingda. The two had a grudge against each other. Feng Yansi's life was really bad these two days, and he was worried all day long.

I was afraid that one day Li Jingda would find something about him, but who would have thought that Li Yu would kill him suddenly, which gave him a chance to bring down this Li Jingda, and he must not give him a chance to stand up.

"Your Majesty!" The other ministers knelt down and said that Li Jingda must not be punished.

Who told Li Jingda to be unfriendly to you during these two days, otherwise they wouldn't be like this to them.

So don't offend people easily at any time, otherwise you don't know when black hands will be behind your back.

"Okay, I will allow you to play it, but this king of Qi also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the past. This is undeniable. I decided to abolish his title of king of Qi, demote him to a commoner, and let him guard The imperial mausoleum is not allowed to leave half a step."

Li Yu directly made a decision not to kill him, demote him to a commoner, let him guard the imperial tomb and was not allowed to leave half a step, which means that he was sent to reform through labor.

"Other accomplices will be beheaded, and ordinary soldiers will be innocent, so let's decide."

Li Yu said it directly, who would dare to say anything else, and besides, he would not give the emperor face.

Fortunately, since he has been demoted to a commoner, he still guards the imperial tomb, which means that he will never be able to get out for the rest of his life.

Now that the rebellion was dealt with, the rewards would be awarded later, and Lin Renzhao was actually named the Duke of An. Everyone could have imagined this, but they didn't expect it to be so high.

Others also have their own rewards. As for the ministers, they are also promoted to ranks. This is the strategy of the new emperor when he succeeds to the throne.

The ministers also know it, but it is good for themselves, and they will not be grateful. The next thing is the most important thing, that is to report the funeral to Da Song, and at the same time report to Da Song that Li Yuji bit up.

"The emperor's minister Li Deming has something to play?" Li Deming was nominally a minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he had already mixed with Zhao Kuangyin when Zhao Kuangyin was still a general in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Now that Nantang has changed his master, he also wants to play his role as a person, just to remind Li Yu that it is time to do some other things.

"What's the matter with Aiqing, just come and play."

Li Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and he took down Li Jingda without much effort and controlled the situation, so he couldn't help being unhappy.

"Your Majesty thinks this way. The death of the Supreme Emperor is our Great Tang's loss. Fortunately, there is an emperor who can inherit the legacy of the late emperor. But should we report the funeral to the Great Song?"

Li Deming retreated after finishing speaking, waiting for Li Yu's final ruling. As a minister, he can only make an idea for his master, and the master himself has the final say on the decision.

"Chen Zhongmo also meant the same thing. After all, Da Song was our suzerain, so we must think about Da Song notifying the Supreme Emperor. Otherwise, what if the Song court uses this as an excuse?"

Zhong Mo didn't say what he said later, but everyone knew what he wanted to say. Aren't they afraid that Da Song would blame him?
Everyone was silent. Li Jing had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty when he was in power, and he was not yet called the emperor.

Although everyone still called him emperor in Datang, this was nothing more than self-deception.

"What the two lovers said is that we are indeed not as good as Da Song, and that such a major event should indeed be notified to Da Song. You two, Feng Yanlu and Zhong Mo, will be fully responsible for this matter. Write a funeral memorial and submit it to me. Look, a decision is being made at the end."

"Li Deming, hurry up, the progress of the late emperor's mausoleum must not be slowed down, and it must not be delayed, you know?"

Li Yu said two things in a series, it seems that he has already arranged it, and these are the two most beautiful things he has done.

"The ministers obey the order."

"Also, I have decided to call the Song court the lord of the country. I will no longer call me the emperor or your majesty, but call me the lord of the country."

Li Yu's words are not surprising, what does this mean? He directly called the king of Song Dynasty, which is not bad. Li Jing also did this before.

But you don't let your subjects call you Your Majesty or Your Majesty, but only the Lord of the country. Isn't this your self-deprecation?
And what is your purpose for doing this? It's just a title, but as soon as this title comes out, it can be seen that you are servile!

"Your Majesty, please take back your order. This is absolutely unacceptable. Doing so is tantamount to surrendering our status. On the surface, the Song Dynasty asked us to be a vassal, but in the end it is up to us to decide. You are still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you want to show up?" What about claiming to be the king?"

Xu Xuan and others were crying bitterly, preventing Li Yu from doing this, but Li Yu seemed to be determined, so he waved his hand directly:

"I have my own reasons for doing this. Don't talk too much, just follow the order, and don't ask too much about other things. Now, let's retreat from the court. I still have to guard the spirit of the late emperor."

Li Yu went straight down, and the eunuch Pei Houde began to announce his withdrawal from the court, leaving the ministers in a daze, and it took a long time for the cry of my emperor, long live, long live, long live.

It is really unbelievable that Li Yu claimed to be the lord of the country on the first day he became emperor.
