Raid

Chapter 239 Start

"Hunk Lord? Li Wang, if Jinning is also a Hunjun, then I have indeed been a Hunjun for many years." Hongxing Emperor said unhurriedly, but his eyes were slightly dark, and his heart was cold.

"You are in charge of the clan. You know more about how many princes there are in this dynasty than I do. If you don't say anything else, just talk about the king of Chu. After the death of his son, I still chase after him as the king of Chu. What is Li Rui? But after the rebellion, he can be crowned king, while Jin Ning can't be named, so I'm really stupid."

"Your Majesty! Although Li Rui is the queen of rebellion, when the incident happened, he was just an innocent child. Besides, he is the eldest grandson of the first emperor. The purpose of the posthumous title of the Holy Majesty is to stabilize the court and demonstrate benevolence."

"In order to show benevolence and virtue, I can be granted titles. Why can't the real meritorious people be granted titles today? Is it true that today's court is only for fame and reputation, regardless of meritorious deeds? King Li, Shang Yang's reforms led to the Qin Dynasty Strong and prosperous. Don't be too complacent, and ruin the country's plans because of you alone.

If Jinning doesn't add officials to the ranks, then before, did I make a mistake in conferring titles on Xu Huanzhi and Mu Jing?Although the two of them have meritorious service, they seem to be far inferior to Jin Ning in terms of merit. "

Emperor Hongxing glanced coldly at everyone present.What he said didn't just refer to Mu Jing and Xu Huanzhi.

After all, there were many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who were conferred titles, even kings, but if they really wanted to compare their merits with Li Shengxi, no one could match them—including King Li.

As soon as Emperor Hongxing said these words, the complexions of the nobles of the clan next to him changed.What is your Majesty going to do?
Isn't it because you want to cut the title?

The Rebellion of the Four Kings and the Mu Clan's Rebellion did not only destroy the Four Kings and their families.You must know that the nobles are all connected with each other, so who doesn't have much kinship with whom?
Taking advantage of those few times of chaos, the sage easily suppressed Zonghe and Xungui.I don't know how many people lost their titles because of this.

At this time, the young people still don't quite understand what Emperor Hongxing means.

But those older ones have come back.

Here we go, here we go again.Isn't this forcing them to stand in a neutral line?
There are only two roads before them.

Either support the eldest princess of the Holy Grail, or wait to lose the title.

It may not be easy for the Holy Majesty to confer the title of the eldest princess - after all, there is a stubborn Prince Li in front of him.But it's too easy to lose their titles, who doesn't have any troubles?No one has any clues in the hands of the inner guard.

Thinking of this, a group of people who were originally wise and reticent spoke up.

Nonsense, what does it matter to those who have no real power whether the eldest princess can be crowned king?Is the eldest princess not bad-tempered?
Anyway, it's better to serve than the saint, and it's better than cutting the noble, right?

They were neutral at the beginning just because it didn't matter to them, and now they can't help it.

If this cuts the jue, it's okay for those with real power to say.Those who have no real power will lose the glory and wealth of themselves and their children and grandchildren.

It's just being crowned king, and it won't affect their glory and wealth.

King Li: "..."

"My lord..." King Li still wanted to persuade.

"There is no need to discuss this matter any further, I have already made up my mind." Emperor Hongxing's expression was cold, and he left after speaking.

People who are at a loss are left alone.

At the court meeting the next day, the imperial decree was issued from Linxi, and it was written on the imperial decree, as well as the fief and official position granted to Li Shengxi by Emperor Hongxing.

Even though King Li was strong, he was only the Minister of Zongzheng Temple. Most of the prime ministers of the three provinces were his confidantes, so naturally they would not easily disobey the Holy Majesty. As for the others, they either had no right to speak at all, or they were wise to protect themselves.

King Li's heart was very cold.

After the court was over, he called Pei and Xiao to a stop. Pei Diancheng didn't want to be scolded by him and pretended not to hear, while Xiao Jingping said softly, "In extraordinary times, we should do extraordinary things." position.

The situation was very clear, Emperor Hongxing didn't directly confer the title of king on Li Sheng, it was already giving King Li the greatest face.

When Li Shengxi received the imperial decree, she just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.Just a little bit more at ease.

The imperial decree in his hand, as well as the title of "Prince" that has not been changed by Ah Xun, all indicate one thing - the person that brother really wants to succeed to the throne is her.

The reason why she didn't change her name and title was because the crown prince couldn't fall on her head for a while, so Ah Xun took it upon herself.

And giving her the treatment of a prince is only the first step.

Now brother is giving her the treatment of a prince, and he can make her king in the future, and in the future, when the world is used to her status as prince, it will be much easier for brother to make her the crown prince.

But elder brother is really generous, and gave her the two places closest to Linxi.It was the link connecting Jinzhong and Linxi, and assigning it to her meant that she would be able to go north from Linxi without hindrance.

After Li Sheng seized the imperial decree in his hand, he left his room and met Rong Zhi head-on. Before she could speak first, Rong Zhi in front of him saluted first, "See Your Highness."

"Come on, you just came. Come with me to the front hall to meet the new magistrate." Li Shengxi walked with Rong Zhi.

"It's really a happy event. Congratulations to Your Highness, let's go one step further." Rong Zhi lowered his voice for the latter sentence.

"This is the first step." Li Shengxi said softly, the smile on his face unchanged.

The two went to the front hall together, and the person arranged by Emperor Hongxing to be the magistrate of Hongyin was a member of the original East Palace lineage.The East Palace is about to change, and the people in the most embarrassing situation are naturally the people from the original East Palace family. They changed their families just after the crown prince fell.But if they don't change their families, they can only live a lonely life with no hope for their future.

The crown prince has been in office for many years, and although he has not yet married a wife, his power is really intertwined.Needless to say, the subordinates of the East Palace, there are countless children who have been summoned by the Holy Majesty to serve the East Palace these years—all of them are from high-ranking families in Linxi City.

People like Xiao Jingping and Pei Diancheng naturally don't have to worry about them. Although they belong to the line of princes, they are even more important members of the imperial court.But other people are different.

Now Emperor Hongxing assigns them to Li Shengxi's side to do things bit by bit, and Li Shengxi can naturally understand the deep meaning.

It was nothing more than asking her to take the former team of the Eastern Palace for her own use. She has a bright future now, and the people of the Eastern Palace saw that the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince were helping to match up and change the family, so how could they not agree.

It was a hit and miss.

Facing the new magistrate, Li Shengxi tried the level of the other party shallowly. Although she knew that her brother would not send a fool to hinder her, she always had to know the depth of the other party to act.
