Xiao Yi knew in his heart that this was Xiao Di's test for him.
The original owner used to be a cowardly and incompetent prince. Emperor Xiao Di of Daqian was definitely not sure about handing over the power of supervising the country directly to him, but because of the golden elixir energy just now, he felt something, maybe it was in a trance, and he didn't feel much. , that’s why I said this.
In other words, Xiao Di wanted to see if he could take on this important responsibility and whether he was still a useless prince.
Your next performance will determine your future.
same.
Li Linfu, Zhang Jiuling, and Lu Ming who were standing in the back, the second prince Xiao Ce who was standing by the bed, and Concubine Li who was kneeling there to say a kind word for Xiao Yi, all looked at Xiao Yi.
"Returning to my father, there are three troubles in the country. The first is the trouble caused by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the north, the second is the trouble caused by natural disasters, and the third is the trouble caused by the administration of officials. The first two are wasteful of money, tens of millions per year, and the latter are like pillars. Termites corrode the beams and pillars. For this palace, no external disasters or natural disasters are more than wind, rain, frost, and snow, which may come and go, but the pillars are strong and stand tall despite strong winds."
"As for the dangers from foreign enemies in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, we can prepare our troops and strengthen our armored troops. As for natural disasters, we should store up grains to prepare for famines, build water conservancy projects, light corvees and poor taxes, provide disaster relief and provide relief to the people, and use work instead of relief. If one side is in trouble, all parties will support it. As for the administration of officials, it is related to the foundation of the country and the stability of the people's hearts. The reason for the administration of officials is that extravagance is rampant, the legal system is not strict, and the disciplines are not strict. Therefore, the administration of officials collapses, and it becomes worse day by day. The only way to refresh the administration of officials is to strictly enforce disciplines and punish corruption. To combat corruption, we advocate frugality and denounce extravagance.”
The words were neither fast nor dissatisfied, the tone was neither high nor low, and the mood was relatively full. These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, a loud noise, like the roar of dragons in the sky that shook the sky.
Li Linfu, who had always looked calm, stared slightly, looking in disbelief at the thin figure kneeling on one knee, holding the emperor's hand.
Is this... still the prince he knows?
Zhang Jiuling stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster.
Unexpectedly, he was said to have the ability to recognize people, but he still misjudged him.
His Royal Highness is actually hiding his clumsiness!
The second prince, Xiao Ce, clenched his hands so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and his teeth were about to break. He lowered his head and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
What a good-for-nothing brother, I didn’t expect that you have been pretending to be crazy and acting stupid all this time.
Thinking about it more carefully, I broke out in a cold sweat. I had a very scary feeling. He had been pretending to be cowardly and incompetent. Was he just waiting for this moment? !
A blush appeared on Xiao Di's pale face.
There was clearly some excitement.
"good very good!"
He looked at Xiao Di with great relief and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."
"Three Treasures, prepare a decree."
The eunuch who first shouted when he saw Xiao Yi entering the palace outside was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and the first eunuch next to Xiao Di, the eunuch Sanbao.
Eunuch Sanbao stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "I obey."
He took a blank imperial edict and spread it on the table, with Qi Julang writing it.
There were people in the room, all with different faces, and complex eyes flickering. They all knew what this decree represented.
No one dared to stop it at this time.
Li Linfu was so shocked by Xiao Yi's changes that he was so confused that he forgot how to stand up and stop Xiao Di from drafting the decree.
If he doesn't move, the other people in the palace won't move, and they don't dare to move.
"Ahem, I have been ill in bed for more than a month, and my political affairs have been neglected for a long time. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Now, the prince is a virtuous man who can supervise the country for me and make decisions on all major military, political and civil affairs of the country. , the government and the public, the military affairs and the inner and outer courts, see the crown prince of the prison country, that is, I will come in person!"
Xiao Di seemed to be having a flashback. He reluctantly finished speaking and coughed violently.
Xiao Yi quickly stretched out his hand and patted it gently to cheer up Xiao Di, and then said: "I am so grateful to have gained the trust of my father. I should do my best for the peace of Daqian, keep peace from outside, and protect the country of Daqian. !”
Over there, the Sanbao eunuch has taken out the imperial seal and stamped it on the imperial edict, and this edict has the effect of Daqian law.
Eunuch Sanbao came to the bed with the imperial edict in his hands, knelt on the ground, and handed it to Xiao Di.
The second prince Xiao Ce stood there with his eyes fixed on the imperial edict.
This imperial edict should have been from me!
It belongs to me!
He belongs to the king!
Emperor Xiao Di of Daqian felt better with Xiao Yi's help. He picked up the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Yi tremblingly. He was personally handing over the highest authority in the empire to the prince.
Xiao Di looked at Li Linfu, glanced at the second prince standing next to him, and said: "Li Qing, Zhang Qing, Lu Qing. You must also do your best to assist the prince in supervising the country, calming down the outside world, and protecting the generals. "
Li Linfu and the others quickly bowed and said, "I will obey the Holy Order."
Xiao Di relaxed completely, closed his eyes, and murmured: "I'm tired, you all can go out."
Xiao Yidao: "Father, please rest in peace and cultivate yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Li Linfu, Zhang Jiuling and Lu Ming, glanced at Xiao Ce who was standing there with his head lowered, his expression unclear, and said: "Father needs to meditate, let's leave first. "
The three imperial doctors were supposed to have been guarding here, but one of them quietly pulled the sleeve of the second prince who was still stunned and followed him out.
The second prince then raised his head, his eyes filled with hatred.
He stared hard at the prince Xiao Yi who was striding out of the palace in front of him, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Just came out of the bedroom.
Zhang Hong, who was behind, quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty must be so ill that he is delirious. He actually asked the prince to supervise the country. The prince has no virtue and talent, how can he supervise the country? I think that the second prince should be the one to supervise the country." Only by supervising the country can we pacify the outside world and pacify the inside!"
He wanted to prevent the imperial edict from being announced to the world. As long as it was not read out in front of all the officials, there would still be changes.
Lu Ming was about to reprimand Zhang Hong, but Li Linfu moved a step and stopped him.
Just now Xiao Di asked someone to draft the decree, but he was shocked by Xiao Yi's changes and was unable to stop him. Now he must save the situation.
Xiao Yi looked at Zhang Hong coldly.
He threw the imperial edict in his right hand directly to his left hand, then raised his hand and pulled out the waist knife from the waist of a palace guard next to him.
Wipe it over.
Then he took three steps back and stood there expressionlessly.
Everyone only heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed and saw only a little cold light.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Before Zhang Hong could react, the blood from his throat was already gushing out.
He immediately covered his neck and looked at Xiao Yi with wide eyes and disbelief.
The prince actually committed a murder outside the Manlu Palace? !
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Plop."
"Ahem..."
Zhang Hong knelt directly on the ground and wanted to say something, but he could only make a whimpering sound. Then he fell to the ground and twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Xiao Yi was still dragging the knife in his hand. The tip of the knife touched the ground lightly. The blood slid down the blade and formed a thick pool of blood on the ground.
The people in front of the palace also reacted. Just as they were about to take action, they suddenly realized that the murderer was the current prince.
"Gu is the prince of Daqian who was personally appointed by his father. Now, an imperial edict has been passed down, and Gu is appointed as the supervisor of the country. All major military, political, and civil affairs of the country should be decided at once. The government and the public, the military affairs and the internal and external courts, see the emperor of the supervision of the country. The prince, the father, is here in person!"
"And you are a human subject, but you don't think about how to heal my father. You dare to disrespect the order here and speak rudely. You should be killed!"
Li Linfu felt that his heart had forgotten to beat. It had been many years since he had felt such a strong crisis.
The prince's clumsiness must be hidden too deeply.
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Li Linfu again. Their eyes collided, and he could only hear him say slowly: "Mr. Li, do you think this person should be killed?"
Li Linfu looked at Xiao Yi, who had killed a person with his own hands but was still calm and composed. His right eyelid twitched and he said in a deep voice: "This person has committed a crime below and has no dignity. He even questioned His Majesty's will and violated His Royal Highness. His crime is , should be punished."
