After the Emperor's Hero left the palace to supervise the country, the Guanfeng Hall in Shangyang Palace became a temporary court meeting place. The ministers came here to visit the Emperor's Hero to discuss state affairs.

After the coup, Li Tong was busy rectifying military affairs. Even though he had accepted the canonization a few days ago, he had accepted the canonization in the Western Courtyard in the imperial city, so he had never attended a court meeting in the Fengguan Hall.

However, the military affairs around Shendu City have been sorted out, and the time is calculated. If Xue Huaiyi leads any abnormal movements, the news should be transmitted back to Shendu recently, so he had to enter the court to explain the current military preparations.

After all, the Guanfeng Hall court meeting was different from the normal court meeting, and the number of people participating was not that many. Especially in the Wuzhou Dynasty, the enshrined officials were basically excluded from the court meeting, and those who could participate were basically the real power figures of the various departments of the Southern Province.

Moreover, since the imperial heir is only a governor and not a real emperor, the atmosphere of the court meeting is relatively relaxed and casual. It is better to say it is a symposium than a court meeting.

In the main hall, although the seat of the emperor's heir Li Dan was arranged in the middle, it was placed on the horizontal steps in front of the imperial bed, only more than meter away from the prime ministers in the previous class. Moreover, there were also packed seats in the next level, which was a special seat for the prime ministers and senior ministers.

In general, there is no particularly strict division between superior and inferior in the entire court layout. This is in line with the current situation of the court, which is a temporary transition pattern in which the king is not a monarch, and the minister is not a minister.

When the ritual official sang the name of King Yong ascended the palace, the emperor's heir Li Dan stood up from the seat and greeted him. Without waiting for Li Tong to come in front of him, he pulled him to the hall while walking towards the hall, and said with a smile: "King Yong runs around inside and outside, helps the country and sets the country. He is really hardworking and making great contributions. Don't worry about these common etiquettes. Get in the seat quickly. I and the officials in the court are also curious about how the military affairs are currently being prepared, and can we stop the thieves on the river bank?"

Li Tong didn't want to be too domineering, but seeing that Li Zhaode and others were standing on the side of the stairs in front of the steps, he stopped being polite and followed the emperor to go up. He waited until the emperor let go of his arm and retreated, bowed and said, "Since I received the order, I have sent various troops to summon the soldiers of the various prefectures. Now, more than 5,000 armors have been gathered around the Shendu..."

Li Tong had already reported the relevant information to the Ministry of War, but now he repeated it again, and the ministers in the palace still listened very seriously. After all, what they were going to face was the first major test after the coup. Only after this test can the current situation continue to be maintained.

While reporting on military information, Li Tong looked at the current situation in the court.

Now that the court has just been decided, some patterns can be seen. The first person in the court now is naturally Li Zhaode, the inner-minister of Fengge, and the person who followed was not the local official Di Renjie, but Yang Jiaben, the Duke of Guanguo.

Thanks to Princess Taiping's strong recommendation, Yang Jia is now the General of the Left Guard, and can be said to be the first person in the Southern Yamen. If the military power can determine the volume, then the one who can talk to Li Tong in the court now is undoubtedly Yang Jiaben.

However, compared with Li Tong's current position as the military power of the Northern Yai and the entire Dujidao, even if he is the first person in the Southern Yai, he is actually just like that.

Even if the imperial court recruited military soldiers from other regions, it would not be too fast, and Li Tong, the position of the chief general of Duki Province, was not resolved for a day. In principle, as long as the military soldiers entering the Duki Province range would be subject to his restraint.

As the Minister of the Earth, Di Renjie ranks third in the court. To be honest, this position is a bit awkward, neither up nor down.

If Di Renjie was in charge of Luantai's opinion, at least he had the right to refute and could still compete with Li Zhaode, but at present he had no control over Li Zhaode and could not even suppress the combination of Princess Taiping and Yang Jiaben.

Di Renjie went further down, Yang Zaisi, the Minister of Luantai. Yang Zaisi was also the only prime minister who could still maintain his position after the coup. Because King Yong stood behind him, although his reputation was not high, his authority was not small.

If Li Tong had not diversified his investment and occupied several prime ministers in a row and fully supported Yang Zaisi, Yang Zaisi could even compete with Li Zhaode.

Li Tong's sect now occupies four prime minister positions in the court, namely Ouyang Tong, Minister of Rites, Lu Yuanfang, Minister of Fengge, Zheng Gao, Chief of Luozhou, and Yang Zaisi.

But even so, he could not dominate the court. First of all, Ouyang Tong specially customized the ceremony and did not interfere in government affairs. Zheng Gao only had the right to vote on major matters and did not actually exercise the power of the prime minister.

Secondly, there are a total of ten prime ministers in the court. Li Daoguang, who is from Li Zhaode, serves as the prime minister as the Minister of War, and Cui Xuanwei, who is from Di Renjie, enters the Political Affairs Hall as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

In addition, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, Wei Juyuan, and the Left Cavalry General Xue Ji, also served as prime ministers respectively.

Seeing this ruling team, Li Tong didn't know how to evaluate it.

The coup has just ended, and the court has just sent envoys to all roads. Before the various prefectures and counties responded, the central government order did not leave Heluo, and the power of affairs had already shrunk to an extreme. As a result, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall arranged as many as ten people. It is conceivable that most of them were just scattered people who occupied the position.

Of course, Li Tong is not qualified to laugh at others. He is the most fierce person when it comes to occupying a seat. Like Yang Zaisi and Zheng Gao, there was no need to stay in the political affairs hall, but he took the seat unreasonably, so he couldn't blame others for following suit.

Among the ten prime ministers, Li Tong had four seats, and Li Zhaode and Di Renjie each brought a younger brother. The remaining two were Wei Juyuan because Guanlong still had great potential. Even if a Doulu Qinwang died, it would be difficult to completely exclude Guanlong. Even during the Wu Zetian period, the court would leave a prime minister seat for the nobles of Guanlong, and dare not completely isolate them.

As for Xue Ji, it was a bit interesting. He was the emperor's heir Li Dan. After the Tianshu Revolution, the emperor's heir was imprisoned in the Great Inn, and all the ministers were greatly restricted. But one person was an exception, that was Xue Ji.

Xue Ji was born in the Xue family in Hedong, but he had little to do with the former husband of Princess Taiping, Xue Shao, and his family. He was Xue Yuanchao's nephew. He was both a great writer and a great calligrapher. He did not have a strong desire for power, so he was quite appreciated by Wu Zetian. He was probably worried that Li Dan's life was too depressed, so he allowed Xue Ji to come and go to visit him and was a friend of literary and mos with the emperor's heir Li Dan.

Seeing Xue Ji as the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi, Li Tong had to sigh that his fourth uncle was really pitiful. He was imprisoned for so many years and was basically isolated from the world. Once he entered the world, even as a prisoner, he had no close friends around him.

Li Tong didn't have much contact with Xue Ji, but he knew a lot. After all, he was also a literary and artistic circle. It can be seen from Wu Zetian that he did not stop Xue Ji from entering the imperial heir that this person basically had no intention of making any power and making a living. He just held a step-by-step position and had never even held any government-oriented positions.

With such a weak resume, Li Dan would recommend him as prime minister. This is tantamount to putting a little white rabbit into a fox's nest, and he would not even bare his teeth, let alone perform the function of prime minister.

However, letting Xue Ji serve as prime minister at least showed Li Dan's attitude, that is, he was not willing to be just a puppet, and even if he was not properly employed, he would give his confidants the power. Xue Ji stayed in the Political Affairs Hall, regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was a golden platform for recruiting talents built by Li Dan.

Even a embarrassed reputation like Li Tong can attract a group of talents used by him. Li Dan's reputation is undoubtedly much more positive. Since he has expressed his attitude, he will not worry about no one dependent on the past.

What's more, although Li Zhaode and Di Renjie, the two big bosses, have their own private plans, have a strong overall view of the situation, so they are not worried that they will completely undermine the imperial heir in order to consolidate their respective powers.

However, even if they each have the will of tolerance for the country, when faced with some special circumstances, they may still make choices that are contrary to the will of the royal heir.

When Li Tong gave in to the military affairs and said that he would return to the front line on the south bank of the Yellow River to continue to prepare for war, and recommended his second brother Li Shouli as General Zuo Yulin to take over him in controlling the Northern Imperial Army, Li Dan had already nodded and agreed before several prime ministers spoke.

"In this dangerous situation, fortunately, the Zong family has such strong righteousness and courage and sharing safety with each other. This is of course! King Yong is ready for war with peace of mind, and King Lu protects the peace of his family. I regret that I am a Cebu person, otherwise I will wear armor and kill the traitors with my son!"

Although he has not been supervising the country for a long time, Li Dan is also working hard to get into the role. Now he is no longer as helpless as when he first left the palace. When he said this, he has an unstoppable aura.

People have different positions, so their demands are different. Perhaps in the eyes of some ministers, the brothers of King Yong are too powerful, and long-term will inevitably pose a threat to the authority of the royal heir.

But for Li Dan, having such a powerful nephew Yu Chao can also help him shock the tiger and wolf ministers in the court. Whether it is drinking poison to quench thirst or not, at least if Li Tong does not exist, Li Dan would have wanted to make his pen pal Xue Ji the prime minister, and he might be dissuaded by the courtiers.

As Li Dan spoke, the matter was finalized. After all, even if he wanted to weaken the power of King Yong, the old foxes in the court would not choose to rudely prevent King Lu from entering the Northern Yaman at such a time.

After the military talks, Li Tong retreated into his seat.

As soon as he sat down here, Zhang Jianzhi, who was the new Taichung Chief of the Shangfang Young Supervisor, stood up and said, "I am a member of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice, and I am often called chaotic..."

At the same time, Du Jingjian, the Minister of Justice, also gave a speech: "I have recently reviewed the case and was surprised to find that the counselor Wang Meichang was involved in Quyin. Please temporarily seize the use of Wang Meichang's offerings, and then give him additional titles after he has made his innocence!"
