Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin frowned slightly, then closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I have nothing to say."

The Son of Heaven walked up to Prime Minister Shen again, and said in silence for a while.

"Mr. Shen, in my opinion, the matter of the imperial guard's transfer order is indeed the fault of Shangshutai and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Both Shangshutai and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion must be held accountable."

Shen Kuan bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty is right."

The emperor took a deep breath and continued.

"In addition, the Taifu is right. There is actually no big difference between the age of 14 and the age of 16. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the Shangshutai to observe and discuss politics. When I think it is appropriate, I will take charge of the government in advance."

"What does Prime Minister Shen think?"

Chapter 866 Teach You To Be An Emperor

The matter this time was triggered by Shang Shutai, and Li Xin single-handedly promoted it to such a height of deciding the political situation, but the final decision-making power was in the hands of Emperor Yuanzhao, who had not yet taken charge of the government. No matter what the young emperor said, Neither side could open their mouths to refute.

Even Li Xin couldn't refute the emperor face to face.

Therefore, when Emperor Yuanzhao gave such a "handling opinion", the matter was almost settled, and neither side could achieve what they wanted, nor did they lose everything.

On Li Xin's side, after the Son of Heaven said that as a student, no matter how upset he felt, he could only keep silent.

As for the side of the four assistant ministers, this time they did not retreat completely. The emperor has already made it clear that if the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Shangshutai are to be held responsible for this matter, then the Shangshutai will probably send out one or two people to retire and return to their hometowns. End this matter.

Among them, the most likely one is that Zhongshu ordered Gongyangshu, or the right servant shot Zhao Mingzhou. Gongyangshu has reached the age of retirement, and Zhao Mingzhou is also the chief official of Shangshutai. Both of them may come out to be responsible for this matter.

It can't be said that both sides were hurt, it can only be said that Li Xin failed to fulfill his wish, and the vitality of the four assistant ministers was seriously injured.

The court discussion ended with Emperor Yuanzhao's words. Shang Shutai and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had to discuss a specific charter together. After they bowed their hands to the emperor, they bowed and said goodbye.

When Li Xin was about to leave, Emperor Yuanzhao said, "Teacher, please wait. The students have something to discuss with the teacher."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then stopped and stayed in Weiyang Palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Yuanzhao asked the palace staff to set up a table of wine and food. The master and apprentice sat across the table, and the emperor reached out his hand to fill Li Xin's glass of wine.

This scene has happened before. When Emperor Taikang first came to the throne, he often invited Li Xin to drink in Weiyang Palace. The two monarchs and ministers also sat across the table like this. liquor.

Now things are different, and the little emperor in front of him vaguely looks like his father.

After the two of them sat down, Li Xin deliberately raised his head to look, only to see that the empress dowager behind the curtain had disappeared.

Emperor Yuanzhao respected Li Xin with a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, then raised his head and looked anxiously, and said: "Today's matter is not because the students are going to fight against the teacher, but because the students are about to ascend the throne, it is not good to be direct." Besides, the government is in the hands of a few assistant ministers and prime ministers, even if you want to transition the power, you have to cooperate with them, otherwise it will be easy for the court to be chaotic..."

Lord Jing'an drank a glass of wine and smiled.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and whatever decision you make is right, there is no need to explain it to me as a courtier."

Seeing that Li Xin had drunk, the emperor bent down again and served Li Xinman.

He opened his mouth and hesitated.

"Teacher, do you think what I did today... is appropriate?"

Although he had been on the throne for several months, it was the first time that he made a serious decision to affect the court. At this time, he was still somewhat uneasy, for fear that he had done something wrong.

Li Xin raised his eyes to look at the Son of Heaven, his expression was calm: "Your Majesty wants to hear the truth?"

Emperor Yuanzhao looked sincere.

"Naturally, I want to hear the truth, so I ask the teacher for advice."

Li Xin also stretched out his hand to help Emperor Yuanzhao fill the wine glass in front of him. He said lightly: "If it is an ordinary monarch and minister, the minister will have to flatter his majesty now, but your majesty is regarded as a minister looking at the elders. If you are older, I will tell His Majesty the truth."

After pouring the wine, he put his hands on his knees and said slowly: "To be honest, what your Majesty did today is not considered smart."

Lord Jing'an had a calm face.

"Your Majesty can understand that His Majesty has learned the so-called emperor's mentality. He wants to seek balance in the court, so he has to suppress it from both sides. If His Majesty's actions today were done by the late Emperor, there would be no problem at all, but His Majesty is too old at this time." Small."

Li Xin looked at the emperor quietly.

"Today, His Majesty seems to be offended by both sides. In fact, both sides are offended. If you want me to say that Your Majesty should support the side of the four ministers and put this matter aside, then the four ministers will at least be more grateful to His Majesty. Do your best, Your Majesty will learn how to do things from them at Shangshutai, and they will teach His Majesty how to deal with political affairs, and they will be more attentive."

At this point, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "Either Your Majesty will support the minister's side, so that His Majesty can take charge of the government today, not to mention dismissing the four ministers, at least abolish their positions as ministers. "

"As for the problems His Majesty is worried about, they are not problems at all."

Lord Jing'an took another sip of wine.

"Although your majesty is not very old, he is not too young. The affairs in the court are not as complicated as your majesty thinks. They are just nodding and shaking their heads. Even if they don't, your majesty still has time to learn slowly. As long as you are cautious, nothing will happen. event."

"However, His Majesty did not do this. He rejected the minister because he was too young, and offended the four ministers by taking charge in advance. Both sides are not pleased."

As he said that, Lord Jing'an laughed.

"However, there is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty is indeed young. It is not easy to make such a decision. Some details, just learn slowly in the future."

Emperor Yuanzhao was very satisfied with his performance today, thinking that he could break through this difficult situation with a few words, and let several assistant ministers and Li Xin retreat at the same time. , He blushed as he said that, bowed his head and took a sip of his wine.

"What the teacher said is that I... think too little."

Lord Jing'an smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty is still young, it doesn't matter if you make a little mistake, but since I have carried the false name of an emperor's teacher, I have the audacity to teach Your Majesty some superficial truths."

Emperor Yuanzhao got up from the low table, and lowered his hands to Li Xin as a disciple.

"Please enlighten me, teacher."

Li Xin hesitated for a while, but finally did not stand up.

He is the teacher who kowtowed to Emperor Yuanzhao Zheng'er, and he also received Shu Xiu from Ji's family. According to the rules of this era, he is the half-father of the little emperor, and there are no outsiders here, so it is right to accept his courtesy. of.

"It's too much to say."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, high above you. As long as Your Majesty keeps quiet and keeps a secret look, no one will know what His Majesty is thinking. They may think that His Majesty has seen through everything. If you do things in secret, you will be more trembling."

As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to express your opinion easily, or let the ministers see the truth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he lost the mystery of "Son of Heaven".

Take today's situation as an example, as soon as Emperor Yuanzhao speaks, people will know about him, but that's all.

The Son of Heaven bowed deeply to Li Xin with a solemn face.
