Everyone knows that this time the Zheng family is obviously coming for King Yong. However, he failed to succeed, and instead brought in a son-in-law and a descendant of the sect.
When the censor heard about the incident, when did he have to be punished so severely? This is clearly the saint telling everyone who has anything to do with the Zheng family to stand in line, otherwise...
Knowing the saint's thoughts, no one came out to accuse the emperor of punishing Huang Liang too much. At least at this time, he still had to be wise and protect himself.
However, the fact that the courtiers protect themselves prudently does not mean that Li Xian needs it.
Seeing Li Zhi on the throne, looking at him with burning eyes, Li Xian nodded slightly in understanding and said, "Father, I have something to say."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"Father, it is the censor's duty to report things after hearing the news. What I did is indeed wrong in the eyes of some people. Impeachment is about correcting the problems and encouraging them. I think it's a big deal. There is no need to punish Huang Yushi like this. Besides, the matter concerns Erchen, and Erchen is really afraid that if word gets out, there will be unfavorable voices coming out. Therefore, Erchen asks his father, a small punishment is enough. Huang Yushi cannot be demoted to Lingnan."
"Haha, forget it, since you begged for him, I will spare him this time. However, demotion is optional, but punishment is indispensable. I have a golden saying, even if it is changed, it cannot be changed too much. Come on, take Huang Liang out. Flogging twenty times to serve as a warning to others!"
After hearing the saint's words, Huang Liang immediately stopped crying. An ordinary lashing of twenty would not kill the person, but at most he would only suffer a small amount of punishment. As for being demoted out of the capital, not only himself, but also his whole family would be ruined.
With tears of gratitude, Huang Liang kept shouting when he was taken away by the guards in front of the palace: "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace..."
Compared to Huang Liang, Zheng Ze was not so lucky. He could only exit the hall step by step, led by Shi Yushi. He is no longer a member of the Ministry of Justice, and he has to take off his official uniform...
Looking at the two people experiencing different experiences, the court became a lot quieter.
Seeing that many people below the steps looked deeply moved, Li Zhi cleared his throat and continued: "Since what King Yong did was not disrespectful to Prince Hong, is there anyone who objects?"
The word "objection" was thought very seriously by Li Zhi.
Last time, Li Xian refused by himself, but this time someone jumped out to stop him, again and again, not again and again. Regarding the matter of establishing a prince, he only asked the courtiers symbolically. In the final analysis, this matter still belongs to him, the emperor. I have the final say and don’t want others to talk too much.
This time, if someone comes to stop it again...
There were only a few fools in the court, and seeing Huang Liang and Zheng Ze in such misery, wouldn't they be tired of living if they jumped out again?
As a result, no one dared to speak for a long time, and even the breathing became lower involuntarily.
In the court hall, you can hear a needle drop...
"Okay! If that's the case, then we will confer King Yong Li Xian as the crown prince and announce it to the world today. Consecrate Prince Yong's concubine Fang as the crown prince, and confer the crown prince's father Fang Xianzhong as the doctor Yinqing Guanglu."
After listening to the saint's series of words until the end, the courtier felt a little relieved.
It makes sense to canonize the original Princess Yong as the Crown Princess, but Fang Xianzhong, the father of the Crown Princess, has to be careful. Although the Fang family of Qinghe is not as good as Qi Wang, the family's strength has improved a lot because Fang Xuanling was born in the Zhenguan Dynasty. We must beware of the emergence of aristocratic families with five surnames and seven ordinary aspirations. We must not allow them to gain power in the first place.
Fang Xianzhong is now just a guest of Songzhou. He has not entered the court. He has been awarded the title of Yinqing Guanglu doctor. He is only a third-grade literary official. It is just honor, not real power, so it doesn't matter.
The Ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials came forward one after another to receive the order. It is the matter of the Ministry of Rites to inform the world, and it is the matter of the Ministry of Personnel to seal Fang Xianzhong.
As for Li Xian, he didn't know how he should react at this moment.
ecstatic? Pretending to be calm? still?
Now that I have finally become a prince, why do I still feel unrealistic or unreal?
Obviously, changing from a prince to a prince can be said to be a leap of faith, but...
It just doesn’t feel special!
There's something wrong. Could it be that I've been shocked and become stupid? Numb?
After repeatedly asking about his heart, Li Xiancai discovered that it was not that he was stunned by the shock, but that he really didn't feel anything at all.
From an ordinary teacher in later generations, to becoming King Yong, and finally becoming a prince, and becoming the successor of the most powerful man in the world, it is certainly very gratifying.
but.
Wearing a crown must bear its weight, and being at a high place must withstand wind and rain.
It is precisely because I know that after becoming the prince, I will face more challenges, and my worries and joys are mixed, that I feel unfeeling.
Li Xian's expressionless face was naturally noticed by Li Zhi. But when I think about my own experience when I was canonized as the prince, I feel that this kid is so happy now that his face is paralyzed.
Without disturbing him, Li Zhi looked at Hao Chujun and said: "Hao Aiqing, since King Yong has become the prince, you and other important ministers should take turns going to the East Palace to advise him on government affairs. To be honest, it is a little late for Xian'er to become the prince. Since It's a little late, so we need to make up for it as soon as possible. If there are not many government affairs, I will have Lao Ai Qing personally come to the East Palace to teach the prince."
After all, it was the same requirement to work overtime, or to work overtime for a long time. Even Li Zhi had to speak like this to Hao Chujun.
Hao Chujun smiled and saluted: "Being able to guide the prince is a blessing for a humble minister. Why should I do it? Your Majesty is serious."
Li Zhi nodded, glanced at Zhang Wenguan, Liu Rengui, and Dai Zhide, and the three of them also stood up and said: "Wei Chen takes the order."
After making these arrangements, Li Zhi looked at Li Xian again and asked: "Xian'er, since you are the prince now, I will give you a favor. You can set up some official positions in the East Palace. How about it?"
Establish your own official positions?
Li Xian thought for a while and then stood up and said: "I would like to thank my father. The concubines on the left and right of the East Palace have followed the emperor's brother for many years and have worked hard and made great achievements. Especially Xiao Dezhao, the concubine on the left, is the most upright. Therefore, I request my father to retain their official positions." As for the guests of the prince, I hope that my father will give this grace to Wang Bo and Yao Yuanchong. In addition, I really can't make the decision for other official positions in the East Palace, so I will have to help my father."
Although the emperor said so, Li Xian still knew that he could not go too far.
Although the prince's guest is a third-rank official, in fact, this official position is extremely high-quality. If this official position is given to Wang Bo and Yao Yuanchong, they will probably have to stay in this position until they ascend the throne. It may even drop when you change official positions.
As for the official system of the East Palace, many of them have empty posts. Leaving aside the left and right concubines, the prince Shaobao, the Taibao, the Shaofu, and the Taifu. Young Master, Grand Master, etc., these are of a glorious nature and are given by the emperor to show his favor to his ministers. If he opens his mouth, he is simply ignorant.
