Chapter 225 Teach you to be an emperor

This incident started with the Secretary of the State, and Li Xin pushed it to the level of deciding the political situation, but the final decision was in the hands of Emperor Yuan Zhao, who had not yet taken power. No matter what the young emperor said, neither side could refute it.

Even Li Xin could not refute the emperor in person.

Therefore, when Emperor Yuan Zhao gave such a "handling opinion", the matter was almost settled, neither side could achieve what they wanted, and neither of them lost everything.

On Li Xin's side, after the emperor spoke such words as a student, no matter how unhappy he felt, he could only keep silent.

As for the Four Auxiliary Ministers, they did not escape this time. The emperor has made it clear that if the Grand Governor's Office and the Shangshutai are responsible for this matter, the Shangshutai will probably put one to two people to return home to put an end to this matter.

Among them, the most likely one is the Minister of the Central Committee, Gong Yang Shu, or the Right Pushe Zhao Mingzhou. Gong Yang Shu is retired, and Zhao Mingzhou is also the head of the Shangshutai. Both of them may come out to take responsibility for this matter.

There is no question of losing both sides, it can only be said that Li Xin failed to get his wish, and the four auxiliary ministers were greatly damaged.

The court discussion ended with Emperor Yuan Zhao's words. Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office had to discuss a specific constitution together. After they bowed to the emperor, they bowed and said goodbye.

When Li Xin was about to say goodbye, Emperor Yuan Zhao said, "Teacher stays, and the students have something to discuss with the teacher."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and stopped in Weiyang Palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Yuan Zhao asked the palace servants to set up a table of wine and food, and the master and disciple sat opposite each other across the table. The emperor personally reached out and filled Li Xin with a glass of wine.

This scene has also happened before. When Emperor Taikang first ascended the throne, he often brought Li Xin to drink in Weiyang Palace. The monarch and minister also sat opposite each other from a table. Emperor Taikang would pour wine for Li Xin himself from time to time.

Now that things have changed, the little emperor in front of him still looks like his father.

After the two of them sat down, Li Xin deliberately looked up and saw that the Empress Dowager behind the curtain had disappeared.

Emperor Yuan Zhao toasted Li Xin with a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, then looked up and said in a hurry, "Today's affairs are not that students have to oppose the teacher. It is really that students are becoming less and less likely to take power directly. Besides, the court affairs are all in the hands of several assistant ministers and prime ministers. Even if they want to transition power, they have to cooperate, otherwise it will be easy for the court to be confused..."

Marquis Jing'an drank a glass of wine and smiled.

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and any decision is right. There is no need to explain to me as a minister."

Seeing that Li Xin had drunk, the emperor bent over again and gave Li Xin a message.

He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment.

"The teacher thinks, do I do today...appropriate?"

Although he had been ascending the throne for several months, it was the first time he had made a serious decision to influence the court. At this time, he was still a little nervous, afraid that he had done something wrong.

Li Xin looked up at the emperor and looked calm: "Your Majesty wants to hear the truth?"

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked sincere.

"Of course I want to hear the truth, please give me advice."

Li Xin also stretched out his hand and helped Emperor Yuan Zhao fill the wine glass in front of him. He spoke lightly: "If it is an ordinary monarch and minister, I will definitely have to flatter you now and flatter Your Majesty. But Your Majesty is the one who grew up, so I will tell you a few truths to Your Majesty."

After pouring the wine, he put his hands on his knees and said slowly: "To be honest, your Majesty's approach today is not smart."

Marquis Jing'an's face was calm.

"I can understand that Your Majesty has learned the so-called emperor's mind and wants to balance in the court, so you have to suppress both sides. If Your Majesty's approach is done today, there will be no problem at all, but Your Majesty is too young at this time."

Li Xin looked at the emperor quietly.

"Today, Your Majesty seems that neither side is offended, but in fact both sides have offended you. I want me to say that Your Majesty either supports the four assistant ministers and put this matter down. In this way, the four assistant ministers will be grateful to Your Majesty, at least they will do their best. Your Majesty will learn to do things from them at the Shangshutai, and they will teach Your Majesty to handle political affairs, and they will be more attentive."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "Or His Majesty would support me, so that His Majesty could take charge of the government today. Not to mention dismissing the four auxiliary ministers, at least they would have to abolish their position as auxiliary ministers."

"As for the issues that Your Majesty is worried about, they are not any problems at all."

Marquis Jing'an took another sip of wine.

"Although Your Majesty is not old, he is not young anymore. The things in the court are not as complicated as Your Majesty thinks. He just nodded and shook his head. Even if he doesn't know, Your Majesty has time to learn slowly. As long as you are more cautious, nothing big will happen."

"But Your Majesty did not do this. He refused the minister at a young age, and offended the four ministers in advance, and did not please both sides."

As he said that, Marquis Jing'an smiled.

"But it's nothing wrong. Your Majesty is really not old, so it's not easy to make such a decision. You can just learn some of the details in the future."

Emperor Yuan Zhao was originally very satisfied with his performance today, and thought that he had broken the difficult situation in just a few words, which made several auxiliary ministers and Li Xin retreat at the same time. However, Li Xin said a few words, and his face turned red and he lowered his head and drank a sip of wine.

"What the teacher said is that I... think too little."

Marquis Jing'an smiled indifferently.

"Your Majesty is still young, and it doesn't matter if you make any mistakes. However, since I have been blamed for the false reputation of an imperial teacher, I will teach Your Majesty a little bit of superficial truth."

Emperor Yuan Zhao stood up from the low table and bowed his hands to Li Xin to hold the disciple's greeting.

"Please give me advice."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and finally did not stand up.

He was the teacher who was so serious that Emperor Zhao of Yuan had bowed his head and accepted the Ji family's Shushou. According to the rules of this era, he was half of the little emperor's father, and there were no outsiders here, so it was worthy of his etiquette.

"Tell me more and more wrong."

After pausing, Li Xin continued, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is arrogant. As long as your Majesty doesn't speak and looks secretly, no one can know what Your Majesty is thinking. They may feel that Your Majesty has seen through everything and will be even more trembling when doing things in secret."

As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to express your opinion easily, or to show the truth to the ministers.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I lost the mystery of the "Son of Heaven".

Take today's situation as an example. As soon as Emperor Yuan Zhao spoke, people would know about him, but that's it.

The emperor had a solemn face and bowed deeply to Li Xin.
