Chapter 969: The Great Court Meeting (Part II)
Li Yi felt that in the future, he must improve his level of understanding people, and he can't make friends with people who are not serious, and he can't make friends with old and unserious people.
In front of many courtiers, people who talk about who is tougher than others obviously have no sense of shame and are not serious to the point that they have no bottom line.
Such a person, remember not to have deep friendships.
Looking at General Xue's insulted look, Li Yi sighed and said, "I think it seems more appropriate to cooperate with the Wang family in the military food business, the Wang family has a big business, and people are stupid and have a lot of money......
In this way, I will give you the dividends due to the two generals this month, and if the transaction is not benevolent, we will still be able to keep in touch in the future......"
"Hehe, just kidding...... "The military food business is the family's financial route, General Xue's face changed, he grabbed his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The younger generation in Kyoto ......, no, you have to add several generations of old people, among these people, the old man admires you the most, we have something to discuss......"
"Old Puppet Xue, just now he was scolding people in a roundabout way, and now he is sticking to his face again, do you know the shame!" General Ma glanced at General Xue with disdain, walked over, patted Li Yi's shoulder, and said: "Li boy, this kind of business, you shouldn't cooperate with an ungrateful person like Xue Laofu, you kick out the Xue family, my Ma family is willing to give another 1......0,000 taels this time."
"Huh? Old horseman, your family got this line because of the old man, and now you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey? ”
"It's you shameless old donkey who killed!"
"Li boy, don't stop me, today I want to let the old horse husband know how many eyes the horse prince has!"
"Don't worry, I won't stop you, please ......"
……
Li Yi silently retreated to his position and watched the two of them pinch each other.
Inadvertently, he glanced over his head and noticed that there was a gaze that had been on him.
When King Shin escaped from the fire, he broke his leg, but he was later picked up by the imperial doctor, and in addition to walking, there was a little disadvantage, so it was not a big problem.
His hair was burned, but he couldn't see much change when he put it up and put on the crown, and at this moment, he was standing among the princes, looking straight at himself, and he didn't hide the hatred in his eyes.
Li Yi is a little confused, isn't the one who set fire to the Xinwang Mansion the fanatical of the Holy Sect, what does the Xinwang hate himself so much?
Have you ever offended him?
Doesn't seem to ------?
Neurotic, his family obviously didn't burn it himself, and he still glared at himself like this, Li Yi stared back with a sharp look, and King Xin shuddered, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with Brother Xinwang?"
Someone hurriedly went over to help, and at this time, the palace door suddenly opened slowly.
The officials immediately closed their mouths and stood back in their positions, and the opening of this palace gate heralded the official start of the Great Dynasty Meeting.
A middle-aged eunuch came out of it and shouted loudly in a high-pitched and thin voice: "Ministers come to see ......"
Li Yi was in the very high position among the courtiers, walked into the palace gate, through the long corridor, along the way, except for the sound of footsteps, there was no noise, until he walked into the main hall, looked back, the crowd was still black and pressed and could not see the end.
In addition to the officials and magnates in Kyoto, local officials from all over the country will also go to the court, and this is the only opportunity for most of them to go to the court once a year.
The old emperor was as late as ever, and Li Yi noticed that by now, his originally erect spine had been completely bent, not so much sitting on the dragon chair as leaning on the dragon chair.
With his current physical condition, he is actually no longer suitable to participate in such an extremely tiring occasion, but for an emperor, if he can't even participate in the annual court meeting, this emperor will have no meaning.
Every year, the process is mostly the same.
Emperor Jing didn't say much this year, and his own eunuchs followed the process step by step.
In addition to the beginning of a few ceremonial contents, the longest duration and the largest number of participants were the debriefings of local officials and various ministries of the imperial court.
Officials in various localities need to explain the tax, population, economy, education, and other conditions under their own rule during the year, which is related to their promotion and evaluation in the coming year.
Li Yi listened patiently for nearly two hours, and the changes that Jingguo has made in the past few years can be described as earth-shaking, whether it is political, economic or military, there has been great progress.
Of course, almost all of them were finalized by him and Mingzhu after detailed discussions, and he expected such results.
Glancing casually ahead, he saw Li Xuan in the crowd.
Compared with the radiant King of Qi, Li Xuan looked a little listless, and at some point raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, his gaze was slightly empty.
Li Yi looked away and stopped looking.
This is indeed a cruel thing for Li Xuan, but his life experience and status are destined for him to bear these, the world of adults, there is no easy word, either change the world or change yourself.
After the completion of the debriefing of many officials, some major events will be announced as usual, which is what everyone is most looking forward to.
All kinds of signs show that the position of the East Palace will be on top of this great court meeting, and the dust will settle.
After the last official retreated, the eunuch looked back, got a signal, and then slowly turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Press the Cui family's criminal ministers up!" ”
In the main hall, hundreds of officials got out of the way, watching the palace guards escort several figures up and kneel in the hall.
They were extremely familiar with these people, because just a few months ago, these people were still in the same court as them, and they may have argued about something, and at this time, several important figures of the Cui family, who were once powerful, knelt in front of them like this.
The eunuch cleared his throat and read: "The Cui family, plotting to kill the prince, their hearts can be punished, they will cause chaos to the court, the crime is extremely evil, they are chaotic people, and it is difficult to ......write about them, such treacherous people, not killing them is not enough to anger the people, and not killing them is not enough to comfort the world......"
"Cui Qingze, Cui Qingming, Cui Qingduo...... and other thirteen people, the crime is extremely heinous, and they will be cut down and decided, so as to set an example; seized the position of Cui Xian's concubine, and then lived in the court forever and was not allowed to leave the palace; Cui Ming, Cui Xian ......, and other twenty-six people, flowing 1,500 miles ......, Cui Zheng, Cui Jian......"
The case of the Cui family and other complicity in rebellion had already caused a sensation in Kyoto a few months ago, and although it was a little quiet these days, everyone could predict the final outcome of the Cui family.
It's just that I didn't expect that His Majesty would announce the results of this case at the court meeting.
Several main figures of the Cui family could not escape death, and most of the rest were exiled, and it was difficult to return to Kyoto in this life, Cui Guifei entered the cold palace, and it was difficult to come out in this life, although there was no mention of the disposal of the King of Shu, but his actions were already equivalent to defection, and once he appeared, he would be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court......
The Cui family, who was in power for a while, ended up like this, which is really embarrassing......
