super concubine

Chapter 852
Originally, the army of the An Dynasty returned to Beijing victoriously, and with the addition of the recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, plus the previously recovered Xiazhou, as well as the Uighur and Tubo tribes, the current An Dynasty can be said to have a strong army, a vast territory, and awe in the sea.

And Zhao Ziji was also at the time when the king came to the world. As the greatest hero of the An Dynasty, Xiao Mo should naturally be admired by thousands of people. However, in the ancient court, someone must not be allowed to overshadow the emperor. After arriving in the capital, before he could properly rejoice and celebrate his victory, he and Zhao Ziji had a dispute over the issue of becoming king.

Xiao Mo advised Zhao Ziji: "The words of a sage are naturally infallible!"

Of course, a sage, his words are naturally not wrong, Zhao Ziji saw Xiao Mo said so, so he said: "Since the sage's words are not wrong, why should the general refuse?"

Xiao Mo said to Zhao Ziji: "This is exactly what I want to announce to the emperor. Before the late emperor passed away, I had an agreement with my minister. After I destroyed the Liao Kingdom, I resigned from the official position and married the two princesses and a group of wives. Then go back to Luzhou to live in seclusion! Your Majesty... I am so loved by the common people and the first emperor, I am willing to betroth the two princesses, let the two princesses marry into the Xiao family, and even allow me to marry another wife, this is already a great favor, How dare you ask for a reward?"

After a pause, Xiao Mo glanced at Li Zhun, and then said to Zhao Ziji: "Please resign from the post of General, Your Majesty Enzhun, and go back to the mountains and fields, and stop meddling in court affairs!"

This Xiao Mo, others are eager for the emperor's reward, but he keeps pushing the emperor's reward!
Seeing that Xiao Mo refused to accept it sincerely, Ji Ping couldn't help admiring: "Zi Heng's achievements are shocking to the world, but he is indifferent to fame and wealth, he really is a hero!"

Hearing Ji Ping's words, Zhao Ziji was not happy, looked at Xiao Mo and asked: "Can't elder brother stay in the capital and stay with me forever?"

After hearing this, Xiao Mo thought to himself: Always be by your side?Damn, you are the emperor, do you want me to be your eunuch?
So Xiao Mo hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I yearn for the mountains and rivers. After resigning, I will travel around the world. I also ask the emperor for permission!"

There was no other way, Zhao Ziji had no choice but to say to Xiao Mo: "I can promise you to assassinate the post of general, but for this matter of becoming king, my brother must agree to me, so I can let you go!"

After talking about this, Xiao Mo didn't refuse, so he had no choice but to thank Zhao Ziji for his gratitude.

After talking about Xiao Mo, Zhao Ziji looked at Li Zhun and said, "Li Aiqing is the minister of the late emperor and the marshal of Ping Liao. He has worked hard and made great achievements. I want to make Li Aiqing a master. I don't know what you think about it? "

Hearing Zhao Ziji's words, all the officials were speechless.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiao Mo and Li Zhun have contributed a lot, but it’s fine for Xiao Mo to be crowned king, this grand master... the official position of grand master has long been unnecessary in this dynasty, and now you want to make Li Zhun the grand master , then what do you ask the officials from the three provinces and six ministries to do?
So Ji Ping came out and said to Zhao Ziji: "Qizou the emperor, dare to ask the name of the grand master, what is his role?"

"This..." Zhao Ziji was in a bit of a dilemma. Now the official department is managed by Ji Ping, the political counselor, the household department is managed by Zhou Chang, the Tongping chapter, and the punishment department and the industry department are managed by Shi Zhongyuan. Let Li Zhun go What are you doing?
Although there are also the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials has always been managed by the emperor Shen Renyi. When it comes to qualifications, Shen Renyi's qualifications are older than Li Zhun, and the Ministry of War... To be honest, because of the existence of the Privy Council, so The Ministry of War is actually an appendage of the Privy Council. If you let Li Zhun take care of it, wouldn't that be embarrassing for him?
So Zhao Ziji was a little embarrassed, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Under such circumstances, Li Zhun understood Xiao Mo's previous advice to persuade him to retreat bravely.

Now above the court, the three provinces and six ministries are all headed by people, and each department has a complete leadership system, and the civil servants headed by Ji Ping are already used to such a system. It is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

In the Yangtze River, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and now Li Zhun also sees it, people will grow old one day, and when they get old, the people behind will step up again, this is the general trend.

So Li Zhun said to Zhao Ziji: "Qi Zou the emperor, I don't ask the emperor for a reward, but only for the emperor's favor. The old minister can also retire and return to Jiangning to spend his old age in peace!"

Zhao Ziji heard this, and said unhappily: "Old Aiqing also wants to resign? Could it be that I am so intolerant that I must make the two Qings do this thing?"

Hearing Zhao Ziji's complaint, Li Zhun thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty's lesson, if we rule today, the old minister's wish is fulfilled, and the former emperor died young, the old minister's heart is very sad, so... dare not ask the emperor for permission. Officer, I only hope that the emperor will allow the old minister to return to hermitage!"

Speaking of Zhao Quan, Zhao Ziji said leisurely: "Could it be that Lao Aiqing still remembers the father, but... Lao Aiqing thinks about it again, how about staying in the capital?"

Li Zhun thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Ziji, "Thank you, Your Majesty, what your Majesty said is reasonable..."

Hearing that Li Zhun changed his tune, Zhao Ziji happily asked: "Old Aiqing agreed to me?"

"No..." Li Zhun shook his head and said, "The old minister wants to resign from office and go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany the late emperor for three years. After three years...the old minister will return to his hometown of Jiangning and spend the rest of his life in peace!"

Hearing Li Zhun's words, all civil and military officials, including Xiao Mo and Zhao Ziji, couldn't help admiring Li Zhun!
Li Zhun is going to keep his filial piety for Zhao Quan, and it will be three years!

Like Yunxue and Zhao Yao, they only kept their filial piety for Zhao Quan for half a year, and now it has expired. The longest time in the palace for Zhao Quan should be Zhao Quan's two queens and concubines. It's only been one year of filial piety, and a Buddhist hall is still set up in the palace, and I haven't been to the imperial mausoleum.

However, at the age of 70, Li Zhun asked to go to the imperial mausoleum to observe filial piety for the emperor. How can such a character not be admired?
Zhao Ziji's eyes were watering when he heard the words, and then he walked down the steps slowly, came to Li Zhun and took his hand and said, "Father has a subject like Lao Aiqing, even under the nine springs, I can be relieved! Since In this way... I accepted Lao Aiqing, and besides... Lao Aiqing refused to accept the official position, so I made Lao Aiqing the Duke of Wu, and went to the imperial mausoleum to serve the late emperor on my behalf!"

After hearing this, Li Zhun came out to thank Zhao Ziji, and Xiao Mo also thanked Zhao Ziji.

Then Zhao Ziji took a look at Ji Ping, Ji Ping understood, stepped forward and said to Zhao Ziji: "Your Majesty, all the generals have worked hard and made great achievements in the Ping Liao this time. After discussing with you, the old minister decided to reward the generals for their merits. Please also invite the emperor." Check them out one by one!"
