"Your Highness, this is the memorial sent by Mr. Li."
Xiao Yi casually picked up a book and flipped through it. There were bandits flying around in Wenxi County, stealing and stealing...
Read another book. There are ruthless bandits in Wanshan Lake in Xingyang. They rob caravans. The crimes are heinous and the people are angry and resentful...
Xiao Yi yawned and threw the memorial directly on the table.
These things are not trivial matters, after all, they have a relatively large impact on the local area.
But for Xiao Yi, this is a trivial matter.
However, it is already late at night, and it is not convenient to pursue the case directly. The first fire is to burn the East Palace first, and tomorrow will be the time to start the second fire.
Xiao Yi went directly to the palace and learned that Li Qiuya had fallen asleep in the side hall, so he directly asked someone to wash and rest.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yi had breakfast prepared. The dishes were rich, tasty and delicious, and he felt eighty full after eating six bowls of rice.
After finishing the meal, Sanbao eunuch also arrived.
"My lord, please see Your Highness."
Xiao Yi waved his hand, "No courtesy."
Eunuch Sanbao lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Your Highness, the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace have been cleared."
Last night, Xiao Yi fell into a deep sleep.
But many people can't sleep at all.
Among them, eunuch Sanbao and Lu Chong investigated the East Palace together. Three stewards were questioned, more than a dozen eunuchs and maids were detained, and the original Qianniu Sword Guards in the East Palace were also replaced.
After the liquidation, it was discovered that the three stewards had embezzled 6 million yuan, which can be said to be the corruption of petty officials.
Xiao Yi looked at it and said coldly: "The three stewards will be punished with two hundred sticks."
Lu Chong cupped his fists and said, "Here."
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
Your Highness seems to like beating people to death?
This is more torture than beheading.
After Lu Chong left, Xiao Yi asked Eunuch Sanbao: "Last night, Mr. Li asked people to send memorials. However, I discovered that these memorials could have been approved by the political affairs hall because of the banditry in the area."
"Don't believe it. Today's Daqian is only troubled by these bandits, and there is no major problem."
He knew very well that Mr. Li was probably perfunctory, and giving him these trivial memorials for review might also be a test.
Eunuch Sanbao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, after His Majesty became ill in bed, Gongxiang Li led Zhongshu's disciples and the three divisions to discuss decisions and approve the political affairs of the country."
Xiao Yi stood up and said, "Let's go to the political hall."
The Great Qian Dynasty held meetings every five days, but the prime minister and other important ministers had to go to the palace every day to meet with the emperor.
However, after Xiao Di became seriously ill, the court meetings were discontinued, and Li Linfu, Zhang Jiuling, Lu Ming and others rarely entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Xiao Di woke up too few times, and every time he woke up, he was a little confused, and the playing time was not long.
Therefore, Li Linfu and hundreds of officials discussed and decided on the national policies of Daqian in the political hall.
At this moment, many officials have gathered in the political hall in the imperial city.
Last night, the emperor was seriously ill. Li Gongxiang summoned all the ministers to the palace to wait for the announcement. He thought that the new emperor would ascend the throne, but who knew that the person waiting was the prince to supervise the country.
They have many doubts and want to know Mr. Li's next plan. They can also make suggestions or serve as pawns.
But Li Gongxiang didn't take much action. Instead, he sent some memorials to the East Palace.
He also refused to visit the ministers, and today he is still ill. The government officials are leaderless, and people are in panic.
"Your Highness, now that Li Gongxiang is ill and the Yan State envoy is about to enter the country, what can we do?" Cai Jin, a bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, minister of the Ministry of War and political counselor, respectfully asked Qin Wang Xiao Ce.
Without Li Linfu, they could only be led by Xiao Ce.
After all, since the emperor was seriously ill in bed and the state affairs were discussed and decided in the political hall, Xiao Ce also entered the political hall and participated in decision-making as a prince.
The meaning is self-evident.
The ministers also acquiesced.
After all, most of the officials here were promoted by Li Linfu, and they can be regarded as people of Gongxiang Li.
It is also known to everyone that Li Linfu supports the second prince Qin Wang Xiao Ce.
Naturally, they directly and passively sided with the second prince Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce replied: "The envoys from the State of Yan must have come here to discuss the Baoding Pass. Daqian and the Yan thieves have been at odds with each other for many years, so it's time to sit down and talk."
Cai Jin said: "Your Highness is very intelligent, and I admire you. The Yan thieves live in the land of Yanyun and control sixteen states. They also have one hundred thousand elite light cavalry and are very powerful. If Murong Yin is really angered, let him unite with the Jin people. It’s even more unfavorable for Daqian.”
Several other ministers also nodded, echoed Cai Jin, and flattered Xiao Ce.
The benefits of negotiating peace with Yan State go beyond this.
If the peace negotiation between the two parties succeeds, they will have an excuse to withdraw the Daqianlong Guards stationed at Baoding Pass and take back their military power.
The person who holds the military power of the Daqian Long Guard is the third prince, Yan Wang Xiao Zheng.
If King Qin Xiao Ce wants to have a smooth enthronement ceremony, and be able to quickly grasp the power of the Daqian Kingdom and become the Nine-Five Lord of the Daqian Dynasty.
The obstacle in front of him was not just a prince who was overseeing the country, but also Xiao Zheng, King of Yan of the Dragon Guard Army, who was good at fighting and held the most powerful elite in the army.
The third prince, Yan Wang Xiao Zheng, showed his natural supernatural power at the age of ten. Later, he became a disciple of the Grand Army Shen Yueshan and began to lead troops at the age of sixteen.
Now twenty years old, he has become the next military god in Da Gan.
Xiao Ce felt that even if his eldest brother was a clumsy person and became the prince of the prison country, so what?
In the entire court, apart from the people of Grand Tutor Zhang Jiuling, many of them were people of Gongxiang Li.
And Gongxiang Li supported him.
Xiao Ce's eyes flashed with pride and satisfaction, but he said, "It's all because of Mr. Li's teachings."
Cai Jin was overjoyed.
He felt that although the prince was overseeing the country, the second prince still had a great chance. First of all, he had the support of Gongxiang Li, and everyone in the court belonged to Gongxiang Li. Gongxiang Li already covered the sky with one hand, so he wanted to support the second prince. Even if the prince supervises the country, it will not help.
Li Gongxiang claimed that he was ill, so he probably wanted to push the second prince out, let him start taking charge of the government, and leave some trivial matters to the prince to deal with, just to fool him.
Wait until the emperor dies.
Directly forcing the prince to abdicate and supporting the second prince to ascend the throne.
That must be the case!
Thinking like this, I was relieved at first that Mr. Li failed to come to the political hall.
Cai Jin picked up another memorial and said: "Your Highness, Wang Yuan, the envoy of Xuanfu of Shaanxi Road, reported that since the beginning of March, there has been a drought on Shaanxi Road. Now the drought is serious, and the ground has been covered with red land for thousands of miles. Please provide relief."
As soon as this memorial came out, the entire political hall fell silent.
Is the drought in Shaanxi Road serious?
Cai Jin was also stunned for a moment, and quickly browsed through it carefully, suddenly looking embarrassed.
There is no money in the treasury either.
How can we provide disaster relief?
At this moment, a loud voice sang.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The entire political hall officials stood up, and Xiao Ce's expression also changed.
Why is he here?
Cai Jin reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's welcome him first."
Xiao Ce clenched his hands, feeling uneasy thinking about Xiao Yi's performance last night, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and face it.
"Brother, please see Your Highness."
"I will see you, Your Highness."
