The time has come to the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao, which means that the year is coming to an end.

In two days, the Great Jin Dynasty will change the yuan, and the word Yuan Zhao will become a thing of the past.

As for the name of the new dynasty, after the discussion between Shang Shutai and the Ministry of Rites, it was set as "Yankang", and in two days, it was the first year of Yankang in the Great Jin Dynasty.

In just a few months, the situation in the capital has been turned upside down, after the Southwest Group entered the capital, it is rapidly seizing power in the capital, and the more important positions in the capital are either from the Southwest Group, or have completely fallen to the southwest.

During this period of time, Li Xin made an appointment with the six departments and nine secretaries of the imperial court in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, as well as a number of large and small civil ministers, as long as they were above the fourth grade, they had basically been to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and eighty percent of these people had made it clear that they would be loyal to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the remaining one or two percent, although they did not make a clear statement, but they could not become any major obstacles.

It snowed heavily in the capital.

Li Xin got up early in the morning, put on his first-class court clothes, and waited at the gate of Weiyang Palace early.

Originally, the Great Jin Dynasty was a three-day dynasty, a ten-day dynasty, and any major events on weekdays were reported by each other, and then there was Shang Shutai or the emperor to give a decision, and there was no need to come to Weiyang Palace every day to "hold a meeting", but because it was close to the end of the year, the income and expenditure accounts of the imperial court had to be calculated clearly, and then there were some questions about policies, which had to be discussed together, so there was a court meeting in Weiyang Palace almost every day in the past few days.

The ignorant little emperor just sat on the throne in a daze, acting as a clay statue.

However, after the Southwest Army entered the city, Li Xin did not go to the court, and this time he officially went to the court.

This imperial prince, the metropolitan governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, stood at the gate of Weiyang Palace with his eyes closed, except for officials from the Southwest Group like Zhao Jia, no one else dared to approach within five meters of Li Xin, and there was an aura that no one could approach.

Zhao Jia, who was dressed in a three-grade court uniform, but was in charge of the center, stood behind Li Xin with a smile and said with a smile: "Why did the Metropolitan Governor come to the court in person today, is there something important?" ”

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "It's not a big deal, but it has a lot to do with me, and I still need to talk about it in person, otherwise it will be a little disrespectful to the elders." ”

Zhao Jia's eyes wandered, although he didn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, but he didn't ask any more questions, just stood quietly behind Li Xin and waited for Weiyang Palace to open.

Soon, the time came, the main gate of Weiyang Palace was wide open, and the eunuchs in the palace sang loudly: "Hundred officials enter the palace." ”

Li Xin walked in the front, and all the civil and military officials followed him, and walked into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

The young Son of Heaven entered the Weiyang Palace surrounded by the great eunuch Xiao Huai and others, Xiao Huai, who was dressed in red, stood next to the throne, first glanced at the civil and military officials as usual, and when he saw Li Xin's figure, the young eunuch who had been a young eunuch in the palace for more than ten years, and it was easy to put on the big eunuch in red, and he shivered fiercely.

The Son of Heaven on the throne also saw Li Xin standing at the front, he stood up in a little panic, and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit down again.

The court meeting began quickly, and the young Tianzi coughed and asked directly: "Taifu has been recuperating at home these days, and he went to the palace in person today, I don't know if it's ......?" ”

Only then did Li Xin hold the Chao Wat in his hand, take a step forward, bow slightly to the Son of Heaven, and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... There's something to be written about. ”

As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace, including the Son of Heaven, were a little puzzled.

Now that the military and political affairs of the capital are all in the hands of you, General Li, what do you have to order directly, why bother to run over and pretend to be this force?

Xin Tianzi was stunned, and then hurriedly spoke: "Taifu Dan said that it is,...... I can't do anything. ”

Li Xin bowed slightly to the Son of Heaven, then took out a book from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice to the Son of Heaven: "The first master Ye Gong, his life has been brilliant, and he has made countless contributions to the Great Jin...... So far, there has been no posthumous sealing. ”

Governor Li Dadu's voice was low: "The minister thinks that with the merits of the ancestors, at least the king of the county should be posthumously crowned." ”

Li Xin's words, in fact, there is no problem at all, with Ye Sheng's merits, don't say that after death, he should be crowned king before his death, but the Great Jin Taizu has ancestral training, and non-Ji cannot be called the king, so the old man Ye has the credit of splashing the sky, and he is just a Chen Guogong.

Not only that, because of this ancestral teaching, the position of the prince of the country was at the top, even after his death, the court did not posthumously give him the title.

This matter, the descendants of the Ye family have always been a little unhappy in their hearts, but no one dares to disobey the ancestral teachings of Taizu, and no one dares to speak, Li Xin, as the only disciple of Ye Sheng, is naturally suitable for him to bring it up in the court.

As soon as these words came out, the needles in Weiyang Palace could be heard.

On the surface, Li Xin is asking for a title for Ye Guogong, but this matter has another meaning behind the scenes.

Emperor Taizu's holy teachings, if you are not the Ji family, you can't be called the king, and now you Ye Sheng is the king, setting this precedent, so will there be Chen Sheng as the king and Zhao Sheng as the king in the future?

You, Li Changan, will you be the king?!

If it was in the Taikang Dynasty or the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, even if Li Xin was already a very popular minister, he would definitely be scolded for saying this, and he would even be chased and sprayed by civil officials, but now, ...... No one in the entire Weiyang Palace dared to speak, and the needle drop could be heard.

No one dared to stand up and mention "Taizu Zuxun".

Because everyone knows very well in their hearts that if they annoy this Jing'an Hou Mansion, not to mention Taizu Zuxun, even Taizu's tablet may be directly overturned!

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Li Xin frowned slightly, looked left and right, and asked, "Don't you think that the merits of the ancestor are worthy of a king of Ningling County?" ”

"Nature deserves it."

No one spoke, Shangshu's right servant shot Zhao Jia hurriedly stood up, held the Chao Wat in his hand, and said: "Ye Laoguo Gong has fought for eight years to help me dominate the world, this is an immortal achievement, this kind of merit, no matter how rewarded, it is not too much." ”

The young Zaifu glanced back at the civil and military officials in the court, and said with a smile: "Do you say yes or no?" ”

Li Xin and Zhao Jia both spoke, and these officials in the court naturally understood what they meant, and immediately echoed: "What Zhao Xiang said is that with the martial arts of Ye Guogong, he should have been posthumously crowned the king of the county a long time ago, but it was the court that neglected its responsibilities and forgot about this matter. ”

Some of them were a little thick-skinned, and said directly: "A county king, I can't help but wronged Grandpa Ye!" ”

"Ye Laoguogong's achievements are in the annals of history, and he naturally deserves to be a county king."

The ministers all said so, and the new Son of Heaven, who had no right to speak, naturally had no more opinions, and the Son of Heaven, who was only twelve years old, said crisply: "Since this is the case...... Let the Ministry of Rites do this. ”

A matter of blatant rebellion against Taizu's teachings was done without hindrance.

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Jia followed behind Li Xin, walked out of Weiyang Palace, and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor has a clever move, first, he can test the attitude of the officials in the court, and secondly, he can also let the Laye family go into the water, and it can also pave the way for the future." ”

Li Xin stopped, looked back at Zhao Jia, and then shook his head slightly.

"Brother You'an is wrong."

"I've wanted to do this today, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

"Master Ye has been aggrieved for half his life, he is a disciple, and when he can, he naturally wants to fight for him a little back, whether he can see it or not, it should be."

"I didn't think about anything else."
