Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 396: Dragon Slaying Technique in the Court

"My dear ministers, is there anyone willing to resolve this matter?"

After Li Chengze asked this question, the officials present immediately fell silent again.

Everyone who was originally full of fighting spirit consciously shut their mouths.

In something like this, they wouldn't even have time to dodge, so how could they possibly run into it themselves?

However, Lin Ruofu, who originally wanted to accept this task, remained silent.

Now that someone has spoken, he naturally won't continue to fight for it.

After all, planning food and fodder for a large army is neither troublesome nor easy.

With so much time on his hands, he might as well do something else.

He was still waiting, and after the morning court session, he would go to the Guangxin Palace for a walk.

For no other reason, I just wanted to find my old lover, drink tea and chat.

Later, when Li Chengze saw that no one answered, he understood what was going on.

He said directly: "Since no one answered, then I'll leave this matter to Si Nanbo."

Fan Jianli immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I will definitely not let your majesty down."

Then, Li Chengze added, "Since Si Nanbo has taken over this matter, we should discuss it."

"After all, going to war is a national event, so we can't be careless about it."

"From now on, Si Nan Bo will be named Si Nan Hou, and he will be promoted to the next level, the Minister of Revenue, and he can enter and leave the Shangshu Office at will."

As soon as Li Chengze finished speaking, all the civil and military officials present were shocked.

Some were happy, some were sad, and some began to regret.

Many officials who did not understand the reason for this matter began to regret after hearing His Majesty's words.

Just taking on the task of organizing food and grass for the army not only raised his title by a large level, but also upgraded his official position, not to mention being able to enter and leave the Shangshufang at will.

Marquis and earl are two completely different concepts, and their descendants can inherit the title.

However, many smart officials immediately understood what was going on after hearing about His Majesty's reward.

This was an intentional attempt to promote Fan Jian, to raise his status, and to enable him to establish his own party.

In the imperial court, factional struggles have been commonplace throughout the dynasties.

Ask yourself, in which dynasty was there no party disputes?

Now, Your Majesty wants to elevate Fan Jian's position, which means he wants to create a certain balance.

Balance among parties.

In the current court, Prime Minister Lin’s faction is the most powerful and can be said to have absolute power.

Your Majesty wants to promote the Fan Party, naturally in order to compete with the Lin Party.

Sure enough, no matter which emperor it is, he will not allow one party to dominate.

At this time, Fan Jian reacted and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I will do my best to repay your majesty's kindness."

However, Lin Ruofu in the crowd had a smile on his face and was genuinely happy for the little emperor.

Originally, he thought that Li Chengze was too young and didn't know how to slay dragons, so he wouldn't be able to be the emperor.

As a result, they had already started taking action on the first day.

By taking advantage of the matter of raising food and fodder for the army, he promoted Fan Jian's official position and title, thereby curbing his own power in the court.

The most important thing is to achieve a balance between the two parties in the government.

Yes, it is indeed smart.

This shows that they were not wrong about the person.

Such a young and promising emperor should naturally be praised.

At this time, the eunuch beside Li Chengze swung the whisk in his hand and said:
"My dear relatives, do you have anything else to report?"

"If there is nothing else, then we will withdraw from the court!"

The civil and military officials in the court naturally had other things to report, but they just didn't continue. Even if they talked for three days and three nights, they couldn't finish their reports, and they certainly couldn't all be concentrated in one day.

Seeing that no one spoke, the eunuch immediately shook the whisk in his hand and said, "Dismiss!"

Immediately afterwards, the officials in the hall began to bow and say, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Then, the officials began to leave the hall one after another.

Li Chengze also breathed a sigh of relief, changed his previous attitude, and lay down on the dragon throne, crossing his legs.

It is really not easy to be an emperor. It is completely different from what I imagined.

Although the war with Northern Qi has been postponed to a month later.

However, there is still a problem that I don’t know how to solve.

Now the affairs of the palace are temporarily settled.

Therefore, the only thing left to do was to go to Northern Qi and deal with the issue of the little emperor.

This is the most important thing.

He now has to attend morning court every day, so how can he get to Northern Qi?
Li Chengze pondered for a moment and found that he was a little hungry. Then he realized that it was already noon and he hadn't had breakfast yet.

Forget it, let’s go eat first.

After I’m full, I’ll think of a way to solve this headache.

At this moment, the system's voice began to sound in his mind.

[The next sign-in point has been updated to "Fengqi Palace". Please prepare in time. ]

Ok?
The check-in point has been refreshed again?
Moreover, he refreshed to "Fengqi Palace", and he just came out from there in the morning.

I don’t know what the reward will be this time.

When Li Chengze thought of this, he immediately stood up and walked to the back of the hall.

at the same time.

All the civil and military officials in the court began to walk out of the "Tai Chi Hall".

Many officials congratulated Fan Jian.

"Congratulations, Lord Fan, for being promoted in one day."

"Master Fan, you have to treat us to a meal this time."

"That's right. Isn't the purpose of life to hope for promotion and wealth?"

Following the congratulations from several people, Fan Jian also responded.

However, those officials who are hostile to Fan Jian don’t have such good intentions?
They really couldn't understand why His Majesty strongly supported Fan Jian as soon as he came to power?

He was directly promoted from the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which is really hard to understand.

Especially in the crowd, the former Minister of Revenue had a very gloomy expression on his face.

If they weren't in the palace, he would have wanted to curse.

My goodness, when I attended the morning court today, I felt like the sky was falling!

Since Fan Jian was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, the former Minister was naturally demoted to the position of Vice Minister.

So, naturally, he was unhappy.

"Master Fan, congratulations!"

Just when everyone was thinking their own thoughts, Lin Ruofu in the crowd walked over and laughed at Fan Jian.

However, everyone who wanted to leave just now stopped.

They smelled gunpowder.

The Lin Party is the dominant party in the court, and now it has to be resisted by the Fan Party in order to compete with it.

Now that Lin Ruofu has appeared, he will naturally not stand idly by.

Therefore, everyone wants to know what will happen next.

When Fan Jian saw Lin Ruofu, his expression changed and he said, "It turns out to be Prime Minister Lin."

"It's just a small matter, why congratulations?"
