"The king is the king, and the minister is the minister."
Along the way, Xiao Lin was thinking about what Li Qingqi said.
There is no doubt that Li Qingqi¡¯s words can chill the hearts of loyal ministers, but Xiao Lin has to admit that Li Qingqi¡¯s words can be said to have revealed the king¡¯s thoughts.
"It is an exaggeration to say that Xiao Yu unified the world in three battles, but it is definitely unknown whether King Ming could unify the world in his lifetime without Xiao Yu.
However, when King Ming found out about the bloody recognition, he didn't even give Xiao Yu a chance to explain.
Thinking of Xiao Yu¡¯s fate, a cold light flashed in Xiao Lin¡¯s eyes, and he secretly said: ¡°Instead of being your subordinate, it would be better to be a powerless marquis in Qing¡¯an.¡±
Back to Xiao Mansion, Li Linxiang didn't ask where Xiao Lin had gone, and Xiao Lin didn't tell him either.
In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s January 28th.
As soon as he went out in the morning, Xiao Lin felt a festive atmosphere from the brand new decorations on the street that he could only feel during the New Year.
When he reached the entrance of the palace, Xiao Lin found that both the guards guarding the entrance and the guards standing on the palace wall had put on new uniforms.
The door of the palace is newly painted, very bright red, especially festive.
Before daybreak, the palace gate was already crowded with ministers who came to celebrate Li Qingqi's coming-of-age ceremony.
Familiar ministers gathered together and whispered, talking about the gifts they had prepared; Xiao Lin, the Marquis, had only Li Linxiang, his three masters and the accompanying guards within two feet of him, so he was lonely and a little sad.
Xiao Lin felt very uncomfortable, but there was always a faint smile on his face.
When the morning sun rose, the guards guarding the gate opened the palace door and let the ministers into the palace.
Xiao Lin knew that these ministers would not give way to him, the Marquis of Pingyang, so he waited until most of the ministers gathered at the palace gate had entered before riding towards the palace gate.
When he arrived at the palace gate, the guards guarding the gate not only refused to let him ride into the palace, they even refused to let him take him with him.
Xiao Lin was furious and wanted to make a scene, but he was worried that this was a trap set by Li Linchang. When he was hesitating, he got off the carriage and walked towards the palace first.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Xiao Lin suppressed the anger in his heart, walked quickly to Li Linxiang, and helped Li Linxiang walk into the palace.
The guards guarding the door stopped Xiao Lin's guards, but did not stop the three Taoist Guangyuan people.
Arriving at the entrance of the inner palace, Xiao Lin suddenly discovered that wherever he could see, the roads in the inner palace were covered with red silk.
"He wasn't so luxurious when he ascended the throne, wasn't he?"
With a flash of light in his eyes, Xiao Lin helped Li Linxiang into the inner palace.
The pavement of the inner palace is paved with red silk, there are small trees with crisp leaves on the rockery, and there are colorful exotic flowers and plants in the flower pond.
There are very few flowers that bloom at the end of January. It is obvious that these flowers are produced by magic.
The ministers were walking in, talking in low voices, their faces full of joy; Xiao Lin kept a faint smile, and there was a light flashing in his eyes from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, the ministers arrived in front of Mingde Hall.
When they arrived in front of Mingde Hall, all the ministers stopped talking.
After waiting quietly for about a cup of tea, two middle-aged men in armor walked over side by side.
These ministers all bowed to the two middle-aged men, but they did not come forward to salute.
Just when Xiao Lin was secretly guessing the identities of these two people, Li Linxiang's voice rang in his ears.
"The slightly older one is Hu Yanzong, the Heavenly Thunder Double Halberd, and the slightly younger one is the Bloodstained Sword Guan Shutong. They are the two generals with foreign surnames that your grandfather trusts the most."
When Li Linxiang was in the heavenly realm, she used a secret method to transmit messages to Xiao Lin. Neither Hu Yanzong nor Guan Shutong could hear them. However, when they passed by Li Linxiang and Xiao Lin, they stopped and looked at their mother and son. After a while.
Hu Yanzong and Guan Shutong didn't say anything. After looking at Li Linxiang and Xiao Lin, they glanced at the three Guangyuan Taoists behind them, and then walked forward.
After a while, Li Chong, Jing Minghou, Bai Wenxuan, Yang Shang and others arrived in front of Mingde Hall.
When King Ming unified the world, he had five generals including Huangfu Lifeng, Xiang Yuanxing, Xiao Yu, Yan Wuya, and Yang Shang. Now, only Yang Shang came to the Mingde Hall.
Not counting Xiao Yu, Huangfu Lifeng and Xiang Yuanxing did not appear here because they had ignored world affairs for many years.Here, Yan Wuya did not appear here, but the ministers secretly speculated on the reason for his absence.
Less than half a cup of tea later, a man with gray hair and an appearance of about twenty years old appeared in front of Mingde Hall.
The ministers glanced at the man first, and then looked at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin is the same height as this man, and his appearance is somewhat similar.
"Li Yanlin!"
With a thought in his heart, Xiao Lin avoided Li Yanlin's grabbing gaze.
Li Yanlin stopped in front of Xiao Lin, stared at Xiao Lin for a moment, and then moved forward.
Looking at Li Yanlin¡¯s back, Xiao Lin frowned slightly and asked Li Linxiang via voicemail: ¡°Mom, is he Li Yanlin?¡±
"should be!"
"Do you know how deep his cultivation is?"
"have no idea!"
As soon as Li Linxiang finished speaking, the voice of Taoist Guangyuan suddenly came to his ears.
"He has the cultivation level to cultivate the realm of elixir cultivation!"
"so tall?"
Xiao Lin¡¯s expression changed, and he turned around and cupped his hands to Taoist Guangyuan.
Not long after Li Yanlin entered the Mingde Hall, an order came from the hall for Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang to enter.
Under the mocking gazes of those ministers, Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang walked towards the entrance of the palace.
Entering the palace, Xiao Lin glanced at Li Linchang who was sitting on the throne, and then knelt down to Li Linxiang.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lin, is here to see you!"
"Stay flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Xiao Lin stood up, Li Linchang stared at Xiao Lin for a moment, then glanced at Li Yanlin's face, a gloomy look flashed across his face.
"You fight with General Du!"
"yes!"
Xiao Lin responded and walked to Du Yan's side.
After Xiao Lin walked to Du Yan's side, Li Linchang ordered the palace manager next to him to announce the entry of several more ministers into the palace.
Li Linxiang's face paled slightly when she saw that Li Linchang didn't seem to see her. When the ministers who were announced to the hall came in, she walked behind Xiao Lin.
After several more ministers were announced, Li Linchang announced that Li Qingqi had entered the palace.
Li Qingqi walked into the Mingde Hall with his head held high, and did not stop until he reached the Dragon Platform.
"My son Qingqi comes to see my father!"
"Um!"
Li Linchang nodded and said with a smile: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After Li Qingqi stood up, Bai Wenxuan winked at Liu An, who was standing where he started, and Liu An stood back behind Bai Wenxuan, making room for Li Qingqi.
When Li Qingqi stood still, Li Linchang opened his mouth and talked about Li Qingqi's extraordinaryness. At about three quarters of a hour, he asked Jing Minghou: "Teacher, the time is up, let's start!"
"yes!"
Marquis Jingming bowed to Li Linchang and said solemnly to Li Qingqi: "Your Highness, please!"
Li Qingqi cupped his hands towards Marquis Jingming, walked to the middle position, and knelt down towards Li Linchang.
Marquis Jingming stood behind Li Linchang, picked up a sandalwood comb from a tray in the hand of a palace maid, gently combed Li Linchang's head a few times, and then took off the hairband on Li Linchang's head.
Putting the hairband on the tray in the palace maid's hand, Marquis Jingming returned to where he was.
After Marquis Jingming pushed him away, Li Linchang got up and got off the dragon platform, walked to Li Qingqi, took the hair crown from the tray in the hand of the inner palace manager Tang Shanyue, and put it on Li Qingqi's head.
Whether a coming-of-age ceremony is solemn or not depends on three points: the place where the coming-of-age ceremony is held, the person holding the coming-of-age ceremony and the identity of the person who is watching the ceremony.
Li Qingqi held a coming-of-age ceremony at the Mingde Hall. The man who gave him his hair was Marquis Jingming and the one who crowned him was Li Linchang. The people watching the ceremony were all dignitaries. Since ancient times, there is probably no more solemn coming-of-age ceremony than his.
After holding the completion ceremony for Li Qingqi, Li Linchang then announced Bai Fenglai into the palace and decided on the marriage between Li Qingqi and Bai Fenglai.
As soon as Li Linchang decided on the marriage between Li Qingqi and Bai Fenglai, the sound of dragons and phoenixes rang outside the Mingde Hall.
The ministers in the palace glanced at Bai Wenxuan, and naturally they said something about the perfect match.
Knowing that this strange phenomenon was caused by Bai Wenxuan, many people in the palace, including Xiao Lin, still had a look of envy in their eyes.
After Li Linchang and Bai Fenglai came to stand next to Bai Wenxuan, all the ministers in the palace took out their own congratulatory gifts.When presenting congratulatory gifts, these people will rarely say congratulatory words.
Xiao Lin also said congratulations, but the gift he sent was just some pearls and jade pendants, and there was no real valuable treasure.
After a cup of tea, among the ministers in the palace, only Li Yanlin had not yet sent a congratulatory gift.
Li Linchang stared at Li Yanlin's face for a moment, and then ordered the courtiers outside Yuexuan Hall in Tangshan to enter the hall one by one.
Every minister came in with a heavy look of joy on his face. While saying congratulations, he presented their carefully prepared congratulatory gifts.
At the beginning, when the ministers came in, Li Yanlin's eyes would tremble slightly; later, he seemed to have figured out something and looked at the performances of the ministers and Li Linchang with a calm expression.
The scene of giving congratulatory gifts lasted for two quarters of an hour before stopping.
After the Mingde Hall was quiet for a while, Li Linchang sang with several ministers and talked about Li Qingqi's extraordinaryness.
In the words of Li Linchang and those ministers, Li Qingqi has become the most genius and perfect young man in history.
After praising for a while, Li Linchang suddenly said word by word: "Qingqi is a hero bestowed by God on the Ming Dynasty. I obey God's will and now canonize Qingqi as"
Before Li Linchang could speak, he was interrupted by a sudden sneer.
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Li Linchang patted the throne, stood up, stared at Li Yanlin and said solemnly: "You interrupt me without authorization, do you still understand the rules of the palace?"
"Rules?"
Li Yanlin stared at Li Linchang without giving in and sneered: "According to the rules, if Erchen, the eldest brother, has not held a coming-of-age ceremony, he cannot hold a coming-of-age ceremony; according to the rules, if Erchen, the eldest brother, has not had an engagement, he cannot get engaged. ; According to the rules, should he, a prince without any actual duties, be in the upper position of a second-rank minister?"
After King Ming unified the world, he intended to strengthen the power of civil servants and weaken the power of military generals. As early as more than ten years ago, civil servants were divided into six grades, which are called six grades.
"I gave him the right to disobey the rules, but I didn't give you this right."
Li Yanlin laughed a few times, stared at Li Linchang and said coldly: "You are so partial!"
Without waiting for Li Linchang to reply, Li Yanlin continued: "You are so partial, do you think you are not your biological son?"
