Chongxi [rebirth]

Just now there was muffled thunder, strong wind and heavy rain, but after Ye Yunting arrived, the thunder stopped, the wind and rain stopped, and the day turned out to be sunny.

Such a miraculous sight made all the officials below dumbfounded.

The clan veterans who originally wanted to be demons looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to speak out against it.

Li Fengqi looked at the expressions of these people with cold eyes, curled his lips imperceptibly, and ordered the Sitian supervisor to return to his seat, and let the master of ceremonies continue to worship the sky.

After practicing Xie En, Si Tianjian wiped his sweat and retreated.A hanging heart finally fell to the ground.It's not in vain for him to use up so much strength. At least he passed this level safely.On the contrary, the master of ceremonies was called out twice before he recovered from his daze and quickly began to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

In the enthronement ceremony, the emperor pays homage to heaven and earth to show orthodoxy.After that, he was congratulated by all officials to show his majesty.

The two wore identical twelve-chapter mianfu, one bright yellow and the other silvery white, and stood side by side, receiving worship from civil and military officials at the altar.

Li Fengqi moved his fingers while everyone was prostrating, and covered Ye Yunting's fingers with his wide sleeves.Ye Yunting squinted at him, and saw his eyebrows raised and his smile full.So he couldn't help laughing too.

The altar and his party were safe and sound.

But? About the thunder that fell from the sky.Dissatisfied with the new emperor, Si Tianjian invited King Changning, and the thunder and rainstorm stopped suddenly, and the mythical story that made the sacrifice to heaven successfully completed spread in the market at an extremely fast speed.

Common people in the market have always liked to hear such stories, not to mention that the protagonists in this story are King Yong'an and Princess Yong'an who were highly respected in the past.

Now, one of the two is the new emperor, the other is the king of Changning who is equal to the emperor; one is the emperor star, and the other is an indispensable auxiliary star.No matter how they look, they fit well.

There are even storytellers who adapted the experiences of the two of them and told them as anecdotes in teahouses and restaurants, which attracted many people to listen to them, and the business was booming.

So the two emperors, who were originally shocking and shocking, were just like this in the public? It was lightly revealed, and even attracted a lot of praise.

The only ones who are dissatisfied are those veterans of the clan.

After returning from the altar, they got away from the miraculous scene, and naturally tasted something else.These myths? Fables? Stories can coax the common people in the market place, but they cannot also coax them.After several clan veterans came to their senses, they went to kneel in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony overnight.

——Begging Li Bufen to take it back.

It would be fine if it was just a king with a different surname, but they heard that the dragon chairs in the Hall of Supreme Harmony have been changed to two, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and naturally one country cannot have two masters.Giving half of the North Zhaojiang Mountain to outsiders is tantamount to breaking the foundation of the Li family. How can this be done?

Veterans of the clan knelt down in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At that time, Li Fengqi was having a drink with Ye Yunting, so he stopped by to explain his doubts.Hearing Zhou Ji's hasty report, he waved his hands and said indifferently: "If you love to kneel, let them kneel, and ask the imperial doctor to come and wait, and don't tell them to kill anyone."

Hearing this, Zhou Ji went to the Imperial Medical Office to invite someone.

But Ye Yunting frowned slightly: "I don't care about these."

Imperial power has always been a taboo that cannot be easily touched. As soon as Li Fengqi ascended the throne, half of Li's family would be given to him, an "outsider". Those veterans of the clan would never let it go.

The road chosen by Li Fengqi is tantamount to planting a smooth road full of thorns.

"But? I care." Li Fengqi filled a glass of wine for him, and said slowly: "Even if there is no such thing as today, these clan veterans will still make trouble in the future. They will make trouble for me to accept the harem, make trouble for me Having a son-in-law early...is not for me, but for their own benefit."

Looking at the beauties stuffed into the womb a few days ago, one can see what these people are thinking.

But? He just wasn't a character who was willing to be coerced by others.

"Since we're going to make trouble sooner or later, it's better to get rid of their thoughts at the source first. And it's not like I can't deal with them." Li Fengqi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let them kneel first, kill their momentum, and wait I'll take you to see it again."

Hearing what he said, Ye Yunting put away his worries.The left and right things have been done, and it is useless to regret and worry, it is better to go down together with him.

The two had a drink with the moon, and it was not until the moon was in mid-heaven that Li Fengqi called Zhou Ji: "How is the situation over there?"

Zhou Ji said: "I'm still kneeling. After kneeling for more than two hours, the oldest Prince Li and Prince Duan couldn't take it anymore and were carried away by the imperial physician."

"It's about time." Li Fengqi smiled and pulled Ye Yunting up: "Go, let's take you to see how I can cure these old guys."

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a group of veterans of the clan were already crumbling.

Although it is now spring, but? It was very cold at night, and the bluestone bricks in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were hard. When I knelt down for two hours, not only my legs were numb, but even my bones felt like they were about to fall apart.Prince Li and Prince Duan have already fallen. If they don't hold on, the Li family might really be handed over to others!

When Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting came hand in hand, they saw that the faces of these people were all blue, but their eyes were red.Seeing that the two finally appeared, they turned around slowly, kowtowed, and shouted "Please take back your order", "Please take the country and the country as the most important thing", with awe-inspiring righteousness.

"My decision will never be changed." Li Fengqi looked at it coldly, and threw out another shocking news: "I came here because I have something else to tell you."

There was a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth: "I and the king of Changning are both men, and cannot have children..."

Having said that, he deliberately paused to see the reactions of these veterans.

Seeing that these clan veterans were really more excited, they hurriedly accused with a pale face: "The emperor's heir is related to the country, and your majesty is in his prime, so he still wants to recruit the harem and spread his branches and leaves."

"Yes, does Your Majesty want to ruin Li Shijiangshan?!"

"Your Majesty was only temporarily fascinated by the traitor! You must think twice!"

Although he knew what these people would say, Li Fengqi's expression turned cold.He sneered and said, "My words? I haven't finished talking yet, what's your hurry?"

The veterans of the clan closed their mouths unwillingly, but their eyes stared angrily at Ye Yunting who hadn't spoken a word.

"What I want to say is that although I and the King of Changning cannot have children, but this huge country cannot have no successors. Therefore, I plan to select children of the right age from the clan to be educated in the palace. In the future, the most outstanding children will be established Crown Prince."

As soon as these words came out, those old officials who were like fighting cocks shut up.

They stared wide-eyed, both surprised and delighted, and it took a lot of effort to control the expressions on their faces, and they didn't express too eagerly.

Someone pretended to persuade: "Your Majesty is still young, so don't be impulsive."

Li Fengqi snorted, but he didn't intend to entangle them any more. He turned around with his hands behind his back, and only left a sentence for them: "Everyone, think about it carefully. If you figure it out, you will go back to your respective homes. After a while, I will issue a decree to summon the clan's children of the right age to enter the palace."

After speaking, he left hand in hand with Ye Yunting, leaving only a pair of backs behind.

But those clan veterans looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a long while, they repeatedly asked the servants to help them up, and quickly left the palace with their legs and feet.

If the emperor really wanted to select children of the right age from the clan to train, they would have to fight for this opportunity. After all, who doesn't have a grandson of the right age?If Li Fengqi accepts the harem, although they can also send their daughters to the palace, but? The grandson and grandson represent different meanings.

If Li Fengqi hadn't come this time, the throne would have nothing to do with them.

But? It's different now, if one's descendants are chosen to be the crown prince, they might even be able to enter the imperial mausoleum after a hundred years!

So when the second morning court, when the civil and military officials saw the two sitting on two dragon chairs, they thought that the veterans of the clan would definitely come forward to oppose them first, but after waiting and waiting, they found that the veterans of the clan were all quiet. chicken.Not even a single fart was said, and each of them was flushed, as if they had encountered a great happy event.

Veteran ministers of the imperial clan were not prominent, and dissatisfied civil and military officials could not understand the situation and did not dare to speak rashly.

Therefore, the first morning court after ascension to the throne passed peacefully.

After the dynasty was over, the officials who couldn't figure out the situation went around to inquire about the news. Only then did they vaguely know that the emperor wanted to choose an heir from the clan. No wonder those veterans of the clan who would go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to kneel at every turn were so peaceful this time. .

The old courtiers of the clan were happy, but those courtiers whose surname was not Li were not happy.

The front court and the rear palace are connected. How many generations were there in the past? Not to mention that the officials of the family rely on their daughters to enter the palace and be favored all the way to the sky. Now the emperor has made it clear that he will not interrupt the expansion of the palace, which is tantamount to cutting off the way to heaven for these courtiers.

But after all, they are not surnamed Li, they are not the emperor's elders, and they don't have enough confidence to persecute the emperor, so they can only hand in papers every now and then, asking the emperor to expand the harem and spread the leaves.

Every time Li Fengqi sees these notebooks, he picks them out and puts them aside.

After accumulating a thick stack, he handed it over to Wang Qi and ordered him to check them one by one.

After the investigation was clear, Li Fengqi brought the stack of papers to the court, together with the crimes that were thicker than the papers.

He was already very majestic, and when he called people's names with a sullen face, the officials turned pale in fright.When he walked out of the queue tremblingly, seeing the folder Zhou Ji sent to him and the crimes contained in the folder, he could only kneel down on the ground with weak legs, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Li Fengqi did not show mercy, and only ordered Dali Temple to cooperate with the Ministry of Criminal Justice to handle the case. The courtiers who committed crimes should be demoted, and those who should be dismissed should be dismissed.

Immediately afterwards, he issued an order to open Enke, recruit talents, and determined to replace these courtiers.

Although he didn't say a word clearly, the courtiers formed cliques and communicated with each other, and naturally understood why this group of officials who were suddenly investigated were convicted, so after just half a month, there was no one in the court. Dare to urge the emperor to expand the harem.
