Chapter 216: The Minister's Counselor Shangtai!

In the Weiyang Palace, civil and military officials stand in shifts. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Li Xin is the imperial prince, and he is already the best civil official, according to the position of the imperial master, several ministers including auxiliary ministers must stand behind him.

However, he not only has the position of Taifu, but he was also crowned a pillar not long ago, so he is also the best military attaché, and it is normal for him to stand on either side.

Li Xin chose to stand in the column of military attachés on the right, standing side by side with the Metropolitan Governor Ji Lin in the first row.

This "Great Sima", standing on Li Xinzhi's side, only felt uncomfortable, and glanced at Li Xin from time to time.

Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner court, stood on the imperial steps and sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived—"

At this time, the Son of Heaven has not yet been pro-government, all the major affairs of the court and government are sent to Shangshutai to deal with, the previous ten days of the great court meeting is to discuss major matters, at this time it has also become a formality, the little emperor generally just comes to sit on the throne, and then some officials play a few books that have nothing to do with the government, but about the etiquette of the book, the court meeting is over.

Since the accession of the Emperor of Yuan Zhao, whether it is the Great Court Meeting or the Imperial Court Council, Li Xin has not participated in it once.

At this time, the first-class Taifu wearing a jade crown and a green coat stood quietly in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and bowed down to the emperor on the throne with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi has been the emperor for several months, and he is no longer afraid of such a big scene as the Great Dynasty Meeting, and he generously stretched out his hand to help him.

"Zhu Qing is even."

The civil and military ministers slowly stood up from the ground.

Then the Son of Heaven saw Li Xin standing at the front, and he asked, "Why is the teacher free today, and the court is coming?" ”

"There are some things to say to your majesty,"

Li Xin bowed his head slightly and continued: "Your Majesty, there are no masters and apprentices above the court, only monarchs and ministers. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi scratched his head, and then smiled.

"Taifu is called Your Majesty, I am called Taifu Teacher, each has its own opinion, and it is not in the way."

Li Xin shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The Son of Heaven sat back on the throne, and as before, he spoke: "If you have something, you will play it, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat." ”

In recent months, the great court meetings have been all going through the motions, not only the civil and military officials are used to it, but even the Son of Heaven is also used to it, after all, the regime at this time is not in Weiyang Palace, but in Shangshutai.

The few Zaifu standing at the top of the left side first glanced at each other, and then Shen Kuan, the left servant of Shangshu, slowly walked out, bowed his hand respectfully to Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi said with a smile: "If there is anything about Shen Xiang, just discuss it with a few Zaifu, and what Shang Shutai can't handle, I'm afraid I can't handle either." ”

Shen Kuan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Li wears many hats, not only serves as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but also raises the right battalion of the forbidden army, it is true that Mrs. Li has made outstanding achievements, but according to the rules of my Great Jin, the secretary of the actual military department is not allowed to command the army, and the military department selects military attachés, is in charge of military registration, ordnance, and military orders, and such important positions, and then takes charge of hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi forbidden troops, which is a great taboo......

"Mrs. Li is loyal to the country, so naturally it will not be a disaster, but if you have to be in charge of a department, and you have to raise the forbidden army, it will inevitably be hard, what I mean is to remove one of Mrs. Li's military positions."

It's the first strike.

It is impossible for Shang Shutai not to know about Li Xin's visit to the Dadu Governor's Mansion two days ago, and even Ji Lin has already communicated with them, so at this time, this Shang Shutai's auxiliary minister will take the lead in opening his mouth at the court meeting.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

All the officials quietly looked at the Marquis of Jing'an, who was the first military attaché, but it was Li Xin himself, his face was calm, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi frowned.

He stood up from his chair and said to Shen Kuan: "Shen Xiang, the positions of the teacher were all appointed by the first emperor himself, which is enough to show that the first emperor trusted the teacher and was not afraid of any taboos. ”

In fact, Shen Kuan is right, the Ministry of War controls the world's military registration, ordnance, and even the personnel rights of military attachés, and during the war, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Office issue military orders together, so it is unlikely that such a position will be in charge of the troops.

No matter where the general is, even if he has the title of the secretary of the military department or the title of the squire of the military department, it is only a false leader, and there is no one like Li Xin, who has done the real job of the secretary of the military department and still leads the troops in his hands.

These positions on him are very unruly.

Seeing the Son of Heaven say this, Shen Kuan turned his head to look at Li Xin, and arched his hand: "Taifu is the emperor, Your Majesty naturally wants to speak for Taifu, but Taifu doesn't want to break the rules of the court, right?" ”

"Besides, the military department is in the capital, the forbidden army is outside the city, and Taifu is alone, so he must not be busy."

Li Xin, who had been silent, still tucked his hands into his sleeves, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Kuan lightly, and smiled.

"What Shen Xiang said is right, the first emperor arranged obediently, and it did break the rules, even so, after I go back today, I will write to the court and resign from the post of secretary of the military department."

It is now the first year of Yuan Zhao, and Li Xin began to serve as the secretary of the military department in the third year of Taikang, and he has been doing it for seven years.

However, in the past seven years, he has not paid much attention to the military department, a few years ago, the military department was taken care of by the old squire Xie Jun, and later Ye Lu was taking care of the military department.

Anyway, sooner or later, it will be handed over to Ye Lan, it is better to hand it over now, he wrote to ask for the resignation of the Ministry of War, and then recommended Ye Lan, with Ye Lan's qualifications, it is enough to take the position of this Shangshu.

Shen Kuan looked at Li Xin in amazement, and was stunned for a while.

In his opinion, Li Xin's age is the time when the desire for power and the desire for struggle are the heaviest, and everyone in the court knows that this Marquis of Jing'an is not a good temper, in his opinion, no matter what, Li Xin will fight with reason and will not give up any identity.

But Li Xin just gave up neatly.

Shen Kuan quickly reacted and gave Li Nobunaga a long look.

"Taifu understands righteousness, and the old man admires it."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I understand the words of righteousness, Shen Xiang should wait a while." ”

He stepped out of the queue of military attachés on the right, took out a document from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and then bowed slightly to Yuan Zhao Tianzi.

Mrs. Li's voice was clear.

"Your Majesty, the minister, the counselor, the Shangtai, colluded with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and colluded with Qian Sheng, the squire of the military department, to control the forbidden army and plot against him!"

As soon as he said this, there was no silence in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, but an uproar.

The Metropolitan Governor Ji Lin was immediately anxious, he almost walked out of the queue, but finally gritted his teeth and glanced at Li Xin fiercely.

Two days ago, Li Xin had warned him in the Dadu Governor's Mansion and asked him to think about how the Dadu Governor's Mansion would speak in the past two days, at that time, Ji Lin thought that this young Taifu would cooperate with him at most and participate in Shangshutai, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would also involve the Dadu Governor's Mansion!

This is to offend four auxiliary ministers at the same time!

This big Sima scolded in his heart.

In the face of being an auxiliary minister, according to the most basic logic, at this time, Li Xin should also pull one to fight another, instead of offending four at the same time!

Is he Li Xin crazy? The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can obviously stand by him!

The three auxiliary ministers on the other side also widened their eyes.

Compared with everyone's shock, the Marquis of Jing'an, as the protagonist, still has a calm face.

No one understood why he did it.

In fact, since the collapse of Taikang Tianzi, he has not looked at the remaining people of Taikang Dynasty.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who was on the throne, was stunned for a long time before he stood up from the chair, and he looked at Li Xin with some disbelief.

"Teacher...... What do you say? ”
