Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

At this time.

"Pfft..."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites directly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors cannot be changed!"

Immediately, the princelings and all the princes knelt down: "Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors cannot be changed!"

"If it changes, it will definitely cause disaster!"

At this moment, Li Jian, who was standing facing Emperor Xia, suddenly turned around, his eyes widened and his brows raised, like a tiger about to roar.

The faces of the Minister of Rites and the kneeling officials froze!

Every heart trembled for no reason!

Because they are too familiar with Li Jian's expression!

That's the expression this old guy has when he's about to make trouble!

really.

"Hahaha......"

Li Jian started laughing wildly.

The hearts of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the kneeling officials sank.

After a while.

Li Jian stopped laughing wildly: "What is the law of the ancestors that cannot be changed?"

"The Great Xia Dynasty was created by His Majesty, and Your Majesty is the ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"is not it?"

"You say that the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed, do you mean that your majesty can't change either?"

"If it is said that His Majesty cannot change it, then who is the ancestor you are talking about?".

"Is it the founding king of the former Qin Dynasty?"

"Or Qin Zulong who ruled the nine kingdoms?"

As soon as these words came out, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites' heart sank, and the faces of all the officials who agreed with him changed drastically, and their hearts hung up!

Sure enough, the old guy started to mess up.

Saying this is to kill them!

The Minister of Rites cried aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you are the founding monarch of the Great Xia Dynasty, and of course you are the ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Your law is the law of the ancestors of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"The law of the ancestors that I said is my Confucian etiquette!"

"The crown prince is in the court, and the prince is not allowed to enter the court and take part in politics. This etiquette was established in the era of Jixia Academy, and it was created by the first generation of Confucianists!"

Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair, with a calm face, unable to see any changes in his inner emotions, and asked lightly: "Li Aiqing, this is the method created by the ancestor of Confucianism. We rule the country with etiquette as the main rule. Reason, do you...do you have anything else to say?"

"Humph....."

Li Jian stared at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, his wolf-like eyes made him fearful: "Confucian etiquette has made outstanding contributions to the governance of the Great Xia Empire!"

"Although Taiwei Ben came from a famous school, he still learned Confucianism and respects Confucian etiquette!"

Everyone knew that the old guy was about to say the word "but".

really.

Li Jian changed the subject: "However, Minister of Rites, you must always remember that Confucian etiquette is to assist His Majesty in governing the country, not to restrict His Majesty's will."

"You used to be a disciple of Confucianism, but now you are the Minister of Rites of my Great Xia Dynasty, your majesty's will should be your will, do you understand?"

"You use Confucian etiquette to suppress His Majesty's will, do you want to disobey His Majesty?"

The cold sweat on Shangshu's body was soaring!

Li Jian's big hat was buttoned down, almost pushing him to the ground.

The Minister of Rites said with a pale face, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that!"

"I really don't mean that!"

Emperor Xia stood up, the emperor's coercion on his body was so overwhelming that the Minister of Rites couldn't lift his head: "Then what do you mean when you say that the ancestral law cannot be changed?"

"What do you think!"

At this moment, the back of Minister of Rites was already wet with cold sweat: "This... this..."

He dared not open his mouth again!

Because, no matter how you say it is wrong!

The important ministers who were kneeling on the ground were also silent like cicadas!

Emperor Xia couldn't hear the answer, so his eagle eyes swept across the kneeling ministers, and said in a deep voice: "You just echoed the words of the Minister of Rites and made me think twice, and also said that the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed, so you tell me on behalf of the Minister of Rites, What exactly is the law of the ancestors?"

Immediately, all the kneeling officials buried their heads on the ground, like ostriches, and said in unison: "Your Majesty atones!"

"Atonement?"

The corner of Emperor Xia's mouth twitched meaningfully: "What's your crime?"

"As long as you don't want to, you can use the unchangeable law of your ancestors to persuade me, just like Li Taiwei said...you can use etiquette to override my will!"

At this time, Emperor Xia's long-suffering anger finally burst out: "Today, if you don't know what the law of your ancestors is? You will all be punished!"

All the ministers kneeling on the ground trembled, but kept saying: "Your Majesty atones!"

"Your Majesty's redemption!"

Emperor Xia refused to let go: "Don't think that the law does not blame the public!"

"Hurry up, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

at last.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites raised his head, his face was already pale with fright: "Your Majesty, I'm wrong!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the kneeling ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty, the minister was wrong!"

The bad breath in Emperor Xia's heart finally came out!

so cool!

In the past, as long as more than half of the ministers opposed the court discussion, it would not pass.

Emperor Xia finally won once!

He said seriously: "Since you know you are wrong, you must correct it in the future. Don't just use etiquette to confront me, otherwise, I will never forgive you lightly!"

"Yes!"

The officials on the ground breathed a sigh of relief!

Only then did Emperor Xia glance at Li Jian appreciatively, which was very meaningful.

This old guy, used to do this, is simply a peerless sword, no one can stop it, it can defeat half of the court officials with one mouth!

Wizards!

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up.

Emperor Xia then said calmly: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, if someone in the court can fill the treasury, I will not recruit the king of Huangzhou to join the court!"

"So, now I'm asking you, who dares to volunteer to take up this burden?"

"You, who can take care of this?"

Emperor Xia's hawk eyes scanned the circle, but no minister came forward, which made him a little more restless.

The important ministers of the court are all excellent talents trained by various powerful families, aristocratic families, and tyrants, but no one dares to stand up to take on this important task!

What happened to his court?

As the saying goes, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes!

All the big families, aristocratic families, and powerful families are the most outstanding families in the Great Xia Empire, and they are all the most knowledgeable families. The people they recommend are all capable, talented, virtuous, and filial disciples to become officials in the court!

Why can't I take responsibility after entering the court?

Emperor Xia felt quite uncomfortable!

He was in a very bad mood: "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, dear friends, if there are great sages in your family and friends who can fill the treasury, you can also recommend them!"

"I also reuse it!"

"Then the matter of recruiting my Xiaojiu back to the court to serve as the right minister is over!"

The courtiers are still speechless!

Emperor Xia was still disappointed!

He said in a deep voice: "Since you dare not take responsibility and have no one to recommend, then for the sake of the empire, I have no choice but to break the etiquette that the crown prince is not allowed to enter the court and ask about politics!"

"Decree to recruit Xia Tian, ​​king of Huangzhou, to serve as the right minister!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wei quickly took orders.

Hubu Shangshu, Li Jian, the censor, all the censors, and neutral ministers all bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Minister of Rites and all the ministers who opposed it looked unwilling!

However, he could only salute: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Therefore, the matter of the Great Xia court recruiting the king of Huangzhou to serve as the right minister passed the court discussion and became an imperial decree!

at this time.

The eunuch's high-pitched voice came from outside the hall: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles in the barren state!"

Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "It's just in time! Xuan!"

"Yes!"

Followed by.

A messenger from Huangzhou with the flag of Huangzhou on his back hurriedly entered the hall: "See Your Majesty, something is wrong, my prince was taken away by the Holy Maiden of the Rebirth Sect!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked!

Xia Di's eyes flashed coldly: "What exactly does your guard camp in the barren state do?"

"Why did you let your prince be kidnapped?"

"Do you know where it went?"

The barren state courier felt a lot of pressure, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The royal guards are following, one shot to see its trajectory, it is coming to the imperial capital!"

Xia Di narrowed his eyes and said, "Rebirth Cult took my Xiaojiu captive to the imperial capital...what do you want to do?"
