Unparalleled Concubine

He looked up at Li Xin and sighed slightly.

"You, you're still tossing around like this."

"The matter in northern Xinjiang is no longer your business..."

Li Xin grinned: "At the request of an old friend, you have to do something."

Ye Lin was silent for a while, then looked at Li Xin again: "Is there anything I need Ye family's help for in the Great Court Meeting in two days' time?"

"Need not."

Lord Jing'an chuckled: "This time, they caught me. They should be the ones who should panic."

Fourth Young Master Ye shook his head and raised his glass to Li Xin again.

"A toast to you brother..."

………………

In a blink of an eye, it was already two days later.

This day is the great court meeting once every ten days in the Jin Dynasty.

Early in the morning, all civil and military officials had already arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace to wait for the palace gate to open.

While these civil and military groups were waiting, a young man wearing a first-grade Taifu court uniform, holding a court wat in his hand, stood still at the gate of Weiyang Palace, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.

All eyes were on the young and current Taifu.

Today, in the entire imperial court, there is not even a first-rank minister in office, and all first-rank officials have retired or have been buried.

In other words, Li Xin is the one with the highest official rank among these people.

Chief Governor Ji Lin of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion looked at Li Xin with a complex expression, then moved slowly and walked near Li Xin.

He sighed deeply.

"Teacher Li..."

Lord Jing'an closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring him.

At this time, the bell of Weiyang Palace vibrated, and the gate of the palace opened slowly.

Following the eunuch's singing, everyone walked into Weiyang Palace.

Ji Lin opened his mouth to say something more, but there was no time, so he could only sigh slightly.

"Teacher..."

"Be careful in everything..."

Chapter 857 Minister Shen Shangshutai!

In Weiyang Palace, civil and military officials stood according to their shifts.

Li Xin was the current imperial tutor, and he was already a top civil official. According to the position of the imperial tutor, several prime ministers, including auxiliary ministers, had to stand behind him.

However, he not only has the position of Grand Tutor, he was also conferred the title of Zhu Kingdom not long ago, so he is also the best military officer, and it is normal for him to stand on any side.

Li Xin chose to stand in the row of military officers on the right side, and stood side by side with Chief Governor Ji Lin in the first row.

Standing beside Li Xin, this "big Sima" felt uncomfortable all over, and glanced at Li Xin from time to time.

Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner court, stood on the imperial steps and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here—"

At this time, the emperor was not yet in charge of the government, and all major government affairs were sent to the Shangshutai for handling. In the past, the big court meeting once every ten days was for discussing major affairs, but this time it became a formality. The little emperor usually just came to sit on the throne, and then Some officials have played a few books that have nothing to do with the government, but the memorials about the ritual system, the Great Court Conference is over.

Since Emperor Yuanzhao ascended the throne, Li Xin has never participated in a court meeting or a court meeting.

At this time, the first-rank Taifu, wearing a jade crown and wearing green clothes, stood quietly in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and bowed down to Emperor Yuanzhao who was sitting on the throne together with all the civil and military officials.

Emperor Yuanzhao has been the emperor for several months, and he is no longer afraid of such a big scene as the Great Court Meeting. He generously stretched out his hands to help.

"Let's all be at peace, gentlemen."

The civil and military officials slowly stood up from the ground.

Then the Son of Heaven saw Li Xin standing at the front, and he asked, "Why do you have time today, Master, come to court?"

"Some things to talk to His Majesty,"

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and continued: "Your Majesty, there are no masters and apprentices in the court meeting, only monarchs and ministers."

Emperor Yuanzhao scratched his head, then smiled.

"The Taifu calls me His Majesty, and I call him Teacher Taifu. It doesn't matter if they have their own opinions."

Li Xin shook his head and didn't say much.

The emperor sat back on the emperor's throne, and said as before, "If you have something to do, you can come up, and if you have nothing to do, you can leave the court."

In the past few months, the court meetings have all been a formality. Not only the civil and military officials are used to it, but even the emperor is used to it. After all, the power at this time is not in Weiyang Palace, but in Shangshutai.

The ministers standing first on the left glanced at each other, then Shangshu Zuopushe Shen Kuan walked out slowly, bowed his hands respectfully to Emperor Yuanzhao, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Emperor Yuanzhao said with a smile: "If Prime Minister Shen has anything to do, just discuss it with the ministers. I'm afraid I can't handle things that Shang Shutai can't handle."

Shen Kuan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Li Taifu holds several positions. He not only serves as Minister of the Ministry of War, but also leads the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. It is true that Li Taifu has made outstanding achievements, but according to the rules of my Great Jin Dynasty, the real minister of the Ministry of War is not allowed to lead the army. A military officer, in charge of military registration, ordnance, military orders, and other important positions, and then in charge of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital, is a big taboo..."

"Li Taifu is loyal to the country, so naturally he won't cause disaster, but he has to take charge of a department and raise the imperial army. It is hard to avoid. What I mean is to remove one of Li Taifu's military positions."

This is the first move.

It is impossible for Shangshutai not to know about Li Xin's visit to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion two days ago, even Ji Lin had already communicated with them, so at this time, this minister of Shangshutai will preemptively strike and take the lead in the court meeting Open your mouth.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

All the officials quietly looked at Lord Jing'an, who was the first military attache, but it was Li Xin himself with a calm expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned.

He stood up from his chair and said to Shen Kuan: "Mr. Shen, these positions, teacher, were all appointed by the late emperor himself, which is enough to show that the late emperor trusted the teacher and was not afraid of any taboos. Now that the late emperor died not long ago, if the court is free Wouldn't it be contrary to the holy will of the late emperor if you lost the position of teacher?"

In fact, what Shen Kuan said was right. The Ministry of War holds the military registration, armaments, and even the personnel rights of military officers. During wars, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Office issue military orders together. Such a position is unlikely to be in charge of soldiers.

No matter where the general is, even if he has the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, or the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, it is only a vain title. No one like Li Xin has a real job as Minister of the Ministry of War and still leads the army.

These positions on him are very unruly.
