Chapter 272 The king only sees the results
Since Li Heng had not given him any details, Li Yong directly set up the place where Li Longji was mourned in the main hall of Xingqing Palace, so the place where everyone in the Ministry of Rites was also placed here.
Li Yan did not go out to greet these people, but asked the palace maids of Xingqing Palace to summon these people to the main hall of Xingqing Palace, while Li Yan sat in the main seat in a big manner.
He did not shy away from the possible speculations in the minds of those people. The situation seemed to have laid the foundation for his final say in Chang'an City through this matter.
After a while, four or five people walked into the main hall of Xingqing Palace under the leadership of one person. When they saw that Li Yan had already sat down in the main seat, they were just going up and kneeling.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites established Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple and Imperial College, each with its own responsibilities.
Because Li Heng was seriously ill, it was impossible to point to specific people. So Li Qing saw that the Minister of Rites brought all the prominent people under his command. After all, it was not a trivial matter to treat Li Longji's funeral. He caught up with such a special time. No matter who was involved, he had to be careful. After all, maybe in a few days, he would have to come to Li Heng again.
Before they came in, Li Neng specifically asked who the guards at the door, because Li Neng had almost never entered Chang'an City since the rebellion of An Lushan. In addition to becoming the emperor, Li Heng had made great changes in civil and military affairs. In addition to those who were familiar with Yuan Zai, the ministers and ministers of several ministries did not know much.
The protagonist of the current Minister of Rites is also the current Minister of Rites. Li Neng briefly learned about this person. He is basically a calligrapher full of artistic atmosphere. He wrote good characters in his early years and had a bit of Li Longji's style. Therefore, he was appreciated by some people and gradually became a little famous in the court. Although the Ministry of Rites has always been ranked behind in the six departments, it is quite difficult to be a Minister of Rites.
The several ministers following him were Li Zhifang, Xiao Xin and Yang Wan, both of whom were ministers of the Ministry of Rites.
Li Neng was not very familiar with these people. Although he had a lot of things in his mind when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, those who knew a little about them were celebrities. He was really not familiar with the rest, and he didn't know that they were all people with some temperaments.
So Li Yan had already thought about it. He had to understand the main characters in the court one by one after another. It would be better to take advantage of the moment to exercise well.
"I, please pay homage to King Jianning!"
If Li Neng was really just a small prince and had no real power in his hands, it would be almost impossible for a big man like Yuan Zai to treat Li Neng.
"Oh? You and others have received the order from His Majesty to participate in the funeral of the Supreme Emperor?"
Li Neng looked at the few in front of him and asked this. His words were still very normal, and he did not have the domineering spirit he had when he was on the battlefield.
When Yuan Zai heard this, a hint of undetectable joy appeared on his face. Then he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty did not let me come, but I think that King Jianning is probably not familiar with the people of the Ministry of Rites. It is better to ask me to help me. I wonder what King Jianning thinks?"
After he finished speaking, Li Qing also raised his lips and smiled slightly, sighed, and then said, "Since Your Majesty has not given such instructions, you should go back first and use a prime minister at will. It is not the authority of me, the prince. Besides, I grew up in Chang'an City, and the affairs of the six ministries are not too strange."
"The prince means..."
"You can go back first, it seems that you don't need it here."
Although this sentence is short, it is not as relaxed as before, but full of coldness and unquestionable.
Li Yan was a baptized from the battlefield. Although he was much younger than Yuan Zai, he said such words from Li Yan with a hint of doubt.
"Then... I will sue."
Li Qing kept watching Yuan Zai slowly walk out of the door so coldly, then turned her eyes to the faces of the other people. After a while, Li Qing had already figured out in her heart.
As early as when Li Yu made a vague statement like him that he might not compete with Li Yong for the position of emperor again, Li Yong had already made a decision in his heart that if he could really enter the Tang Dynasty, then he would not allow any powerful minister to appear in his court at least in the short term. Yuan Zai was obviously a powerful minister.
Han Zemu and others watched the incident that happened around them coldly, and they were all a little confused.
Although some of them were aware of this, they had captured the signal of this incident, which was likely to represent the reign of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but now, when there is still no sign of the eight characters, Li Yu is still the crown prince, and Li Heng is not dead yet. As soon as Li Yan came up, he let a prime minister of the dynasty get in the dark. No matter whether he is in the future or not, it seems that it will not be of any benefit to him.
The first reaction of these people from the Ministry of Rites was that Li Yan might be a naughty man. He would definitely have no problem in commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield, but if he really wanted to play some power tricks in the court, it would seem like he was almost intriguing.
However, the few people from the Ministry of Rites really don't want to investigate these things. After all, compared with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, they can be said to be a clear-water yamen, but they are just as good as the Ministry of Works. Therefore, it is the kingly way for them to concentrate on the funeral of Li Longji.
After all, there will be Li Heng’s affairs and the new emperor ascends the throne. However, no matter which one of them does, the main owner is dissatisfied with it, the position under their butt is very likely to be unable to be kept.
"My people in charge of the Ministry of Rites have arrived. Please give instructions to King Jianning."
Han Zemu became the only person who could speak here. Of course, he knew that Mr. Li Longji's body was still in the house. This matter must be done immediately, otherwise it would be troublesome if some bad rumors arise.
