Chapter 609: King Yan

Cai Cai asked the ministers what he meant. If Yang Ze was not appointed as King of Qin, then what king should you be appointed? This move of retreating to advance is quite good!

As the newly ascended emperor, Cai Cai can be granted whatever he wants, but it is still a bit too much to be granted a king. It is a customary rule, but there are exceptions. For example, Yang Ze of a foreign country just killed the Prince of Bohai in Bohai. This is a king of a foreign surname, but it is a bit too much to be granted a prince in the central empire.

If Cai Cai first said that she wanted to be named Yang Ze as king, it would be very likely that she would not be named. Maybe she would have to be the title of a duke in the end. But she said directly that King Qin was, and everyone wanted to change the name, not King Qin, but it was still the throne. Even if the ministers felt that it was not in accordance with the rules, Yang Ze was in the hall. There were so many soldiers outside, and the ministers dared not refute Yang Ze’s title of King in person. At most, they would be making a fuss about what he called King.

The King of Qin was Emperor Taizong of the Great Empire. Before he ascended the throne, this king was basically a historical term and would not let others be the King of Qin again. Unless the dynasty changed, Emperor Taizong would have been the King of Qin and a minister of foreign surnames would have been the King of Qin. In the future, when everyone mentioned the title of King of Qin, was he talking about Emperor Taizong or the minister of foreign surnames?

Therefore, the throne of King Qin will definitely not be given to Yang Ze, and no matter what, even if Caicai is given, the eldest prince Li Yan will still have to be re-established after he has obtained the throne. That is the same as sacrificing Yang Ze's face. Since that's the case, why not give a throne that Li Yan cannot object to now?

The Tai Chi Hall was silent. The ministers thought to themselves: "I guess it is impossible to stop Yang Ze's title of king, but why should we stop it? Is the new queen testing us? Let's see who is stupid? Whoever objected, and then he will crack whom? We don't make a sound. If we want to be the King of Qin, then we can confer the title. At worst, after the eldest prince ascends the throne, we will re-enter some other kings. Let the next emperor do the offending things, and see if Yang Ze has the courage to chop off the head of the next emperor!"

Wu Youren and Wo Gaoqing looked at each other, and neither dared to speak out. The King of Qin is already the highest title among the kings, and the highest is the emperor. If you want to change Yang Ze's throne, no matter how you change it, you will be demoted. They don't have the courage, so it's better to see what others say!

Shen Deyin and Wang Peilun looked at each other. They were the most suitable people to speak at this time. They fought for benefits for Yang Ze. They were hardcore like them, but they didn't speak. Do they still want to count on others to speak? But Shen Deyin thought too much, so they spoke late, while Wang Peilun didn't have so many concerns. He didn't have so many tricks, so he spoke first.

Wang Peilun took a step forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, I think that the throne of King Qin is very suitable for Grand Marshal Yang, Your Majesty is wise!"

He expressed his support. He didn't care about the title. He just knew that only Yang Ze got more benefits. He could get it with him, so what could happen to the King of Qin? The new queen said he could be granted, so he agreed. No matter how long the new queen could be, no matter whether Yang Ze could really become the King of Qin, as a hardcore, his attitude must show that he was absolutely loyal to Yang Ze!

Chen Deyin glanced at Wang Peilun and thought to himself: "People who are from minor officials are not in a good position and are just looking forward to showing loyalty, but you also have to know that loyalty can be expressed, but solving problems for the benefactor is the most important thing. It is not enough to just shout loyalty."

He also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think the throne of King Qin seems to be inappropriate."

Wang Peilun also glanced at him and thought to himself: "What's going on? Are you going to object? It seems that you are not as loyal as me!" He stopped talking, as long as he showed his loyalty, he would be successful. He has no weight in the court now, and there is no reason to sing a stage drama with Shen Deyin.

Shen Deyin said: "Taiwei Yang has made great contributions to the country. The rebellion in Bohai just now is a clear proof. I thought it would be better to grant Bohai to Taiwei Yang to show his achievements."

Cai Cai frowned. The title of Bohai was the prince, and the one she wanted to grant Yang Ze was the prince. According to Chen Deyin, wasn’t it just that Yang Ze was demoted? Is this person really Yang Ze’s confidant!

Shen Dayin had not finished speaking yet, and he said: "But only enfeoffed the Bohai Sea, it seems that it cannot fully commend Yang Taiwei's contributions. Therefore, I think it is better to grant the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to Yang Taiwei, and the two places are combined into one, and Yang Taiwei is also appointed as the King of Yan!"

After saying this, he took a step back and said that he was finished, waiting for Cai Cai to make a decision, and by the way, he would also see the reactions of the ministers.

There was still no one in the ministers, and they didn't dare to speak at this time. The Bohai area was very big and big. It was a vassal state before, so it would be nothing to grant Yang Ze. But if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were also granted to Yang Ze, the territory would be too large. If Yang Ze wanted to recruit soldiers in Yan and Bohai, the recruited troops could completely attack Chang'an, which was equivalent to Yang Ze having the strength to compete for the world with the emperor. However, they still dared not say this, let alone objection. Anyway, even if they fought for the world, it was the matter of Yang Ze and the Li royal family. It had little to do with them. At worst, whoever became the emperor would kowtow to whom!

In the Palace of Supreme People, there was no minister who was loyal to Li or Dugu. It was absolutely impossible to let them oppose it.

Cai Cai glanced at the ministers and said, "What do you think?"

Headed by Wu Youren and Wo Gaoqing, the ministers immediately shouted together: "I have no objection!"

Anyway, they all made up their minds. Even if they had any objections, they would ask the eldest prince Li Yan to mention it. If the eldest prince had no objection, why did they jump out to object at this time? Do they think they had lived too long?

Cai Cai was happy. Anyway, she didn't think of becoming an emperor. She didn't care about anything in the world. In her little heart, there was no concept of this at all. She only thought about herself and her relatives could live well. Yang Ze was her relative, and she always thought so.

"Then let's do it this way, confer Yang Ze as King of Yan, and then confer him the sixteen states of Bohai and Yanyun!" Cai Cai said immediately.

At this time, Yang Ze should kowtow again and began to refuse, saying that the minister didn’t have such a great contribution. The reward you gave was too heavy. I was embarrassed to ask the emperor to take back his life, etc., probably this is what it means, at least three times!

But Yang Ze knocked on the ground with one head and shouted: "I will receive the order to thank you, thank the emperor for your kindness, long live the emperor!"

The ministers grinned, okay, the newly appointed Taiwei Yang is really thick-skinned. He refused to pretend to refuse and thanked the Lord for his kindness. However, after thinking about Yang Ze this way, they all remembered their performance just now, which seemed to be worse than Yang Ze. Yang Ze had not yet made a name for himself, but they bargained in the vegetable market. To put it bluntly, everyone is almost the same!

After Yang Ze was awarded, the ceremony of ascension to the throne came to an end. Cai Cai stood up and was about to go down the steps. She thought of going back to keep a guard for Queen Dugu, but she had no time to get tired of these ministers. Although these ministers were shouting to her now, when her father Li Yan came, they would also shouting to Li Yanshan long live. These ministers had no moral integrity.

At this moment, Wang Peilun, who was in the hall, suddenly thought of his mission. Before coming to Taiji Hall, Yang Ze told him that when the ceremony of the ascension ceremony was about to end, he would run into the hall and report that Empress Dugu had passed away, that is, the fact that the matter of turning Caicai into the new empress became a fact, and then announce the news of Empress Dugu's death, and let the ministers go to worship together.

Wang Peilun did this at the beginning, and waited until outside, but it was a bit long, and he was making noise about the title inside. He didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, so he also joined the Tai Chi Hall. He forgot to go out after he came in. In order to flatter Yang Ze, he even spoke. It was so good that he couldn't even run out again. Who should convey the news that Yang Ze ordered?

Just when Wang Peilun, who was in a cold sweat, discovered his mistake and was at a loss, he saw a person stepping in outside. It was Gao Niuli, the big leader of the Bohai Warriors. Gao Niuli first glared at Wang Peilun, then knelt on the red carpet and said to Caicai: "Your Majesty, something big is not good, the Supreme Emperor..."

Before he could finish his words, Cai Cai burst into tears. How was the Dugu Queen? Of course she knew. She had been holding it in for so long and suddenly heard the words about the emperor's grandmother. How could she not be sad again?

When Caicai cried, all the ministers immediately knelt down and burst into tears. However, the sadness in their hearts was false. Queen Dugu had long passed away, so they could not guess it. Fortunately, the news was announced just right, and their titles were obtained, and Queen Dugu also passed away. Everyone had no burden in their hearts, so they could cry with peace of mind.

This time, Niu Li was at a loss. Before he could finish his words, he had not finished telling the news of Queen Dugu's death. Why did everyone be so excited and burst into tears? If what he said was not the news of the death, then these people were crying and screaming, but they were disrespectful to Queen Dugu. Although he was from Bohai, he knew when he should cry and when he should not cry, but these ministers did not know.

Yang Ze waved his hand at Gao Niuli and signaled him to go out. Anyway, the news of Queen Dugu's death will be announced. It's fine for everyone to understand. As for whether he has to finish his words, there is no need for this!

Gao Niuli got up from the ground and had to leave the hall. He sighed in his heart that the ministers were too anxious, even more anxious than the martial artist.

Yang Ze said: "Everyone, the Supreme Emperor has passed away, we should go now..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a Bohai warrior running in from outside. The Bohai warrior shouted: "The Prince of Zhenxi has found it, and the Prime Minister has also found it. He is on the way to the palace!" (To be continued)
