Chapter 1304: Revising history?
The next day, there will be a court meeting.
Emperor Wen did not attend court.
The court meeting was chaired by Yun Li as usual.
The content of the court meeting still revolved around discussions on rewards and sending officials to Zhenhe and the leased Le Dynasty territories.
When it came to dispatching officials, all the ministers agreed with Xiao Wanchou's stupid move.
Anyway, the officials sent by the court are just for show, so it would be better to just find two people and give them official positions to Yun Zheng.
In this way, at least there is no need to worry about sending talented people to Yun Zheng.
Since all the ministers agreed, Yun Li naturally had no objection.
Next, we will discuss the reward.
When it comes to rewards, all the ministers start to have a headache.
There is nothing to reward, but we cannot help but give rewards.
Just when all the ministers were worrying about the reward, the Grand Historian Dian Su stepped out and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
Dian Su?
Yun Li was puzzled.
What does he, the Grand Historian, have to report?
Officials like the Grand Historian are, most of the time, invisible people in the court.
They have no say in important matters.
Small matters, they don't need to interrupt.
Yun Li: "What do you want to say?"
Dian Su bowed and said, "Now our dynasty is at its peak of national strength, and our territory is far greater than that of previous dynasties. I think that our dynasty should compile history in a timely manner."
Writing history?
Yun Li remained calm but was thinking secretly in his heart.
Soon, Yun Li realized that something was wrong.
A cold light flashed in Yun Li's eyes.
For a moment, he wished he could beat Dian Su to death in the court.
Writing history?
Repair his grandmother's history!
Even if we want to write history, that will be after defeating Lao Liu.
Who the hell are we writing history for at this time?
This is to clear the name of that bastard Lao Liu!
As soon as he compiled this history book, later generations all knew that this bastard Lao Liu had expanded the territory of Daqian, making Daqian's territory surpass that of all previous dynasties.
I guess this bastard even wants to write a separate biography for Lao Liu!
After realizing this, Yun Li immediately refused: "The court is in a tight financial situation right now, and there is really no money left to spend on compiling history! Let's talk about this matter when the court has more money!"
Dian Su said again: "I think that the compilation of history is imperative!"
Is it imperative?
Yun Li narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why do you think so?"
Dian Su replied: "Now we are compiling history to completely incorporate these territories into our dynasty, so that future generations can have a basis for research! In addition, it is also to record the great achievements of the emperor and pass them on to future generations..."
Great achievements?
Whose great achievements?
Maybe he wants to record the great achievements of that bastard Lao Liu?
Asking him to write history now would simply be disgusting to himself!
However, Dian Su's reasons were very sufficient.
For you, this will provide evidence for future generations to study.
Personally, this is something that will make my father's name be remembered forever!
If he refuses to write history, wouldn't that be unfilial?
"What the Grand Historian said is very true. I beg Your Highness to approve what the Grand Historian said!"
"Our dynasty is now at its peak, and we should compile history to pass it down through the ages!"
"Your Majesty is the best emperor in history in both civil and military affairs. Now is the time to compile history so that Your Majesty can be remembered for centuries and become a role model for future generations..."
"I second the proposal..."
As Dian Su gave reasons for compiling history, many court officials began to offer their suggestions.
Yun Li heard it and felt angry.
asshole!
These bastards!
Lao Liu is making things difficult for himself!
Father is making things difficult for me!
They also make things difficult for themselves!
them……
Ok?
wrong!
Yun Li was cursing in his heart when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why are you suddenly talking about compiling history?
He has clearly stated that the court has no money to give him to compile history, so why is Dian Su still complaining here?
As he thought about it, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Yun Li's eyes.
It’s not Dian Su who wants to write history!
It is my father who wants to write history!
To be exact, it was my father who wanted to perform the Fengshan ceremony!
If I don't agree with him going to Fengshan, he will use this matter to make things difficult for me and make me feel uncomfortable!
So ambitious!
The older you get, the better you like to show off!
Aren't you considering his health?
He doesn't appreciate it at all!
In order to achieve Fengshan, one must do everything possible!
Yun Li was extremely angry, but he could not get angry. He just raised his hand to stop the ministers who were seconding the proposal: "We can discuss this matter later! Today, let's discuss how to reward those who have made contributions!"
Dian Su wanted to say something else, but Yun Li glared at him fiercely.
Dian Su paused slightly, bowed and returned to his seat.
Afterwards, Yun Li and his ministers continued to discuss the issue of rewards.
But after much discussion, no reasonable reward plan was reached.
The main reason is that Yun Li doesn't want to give any practical benefits, but he also doesn't want to be known as someone who has made contributions but has not received any rewards.
Finally, Yun Li tiredly announced his retirement from court and asked four regents to follow him to the Prince's residence to continue the meeting.
When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Yun Li directly told them that Emperor Wen wanted to perform the Fengshan ceremony, and also analyzed the purpose of Dian Su's commotion.
"Your Highness's analysis makes sense."
Xu Shifu nodded: "It seems that His Majesty is determined to perform the Fengshan ceremony!"
I have to say that Yun Li has made great progress indeed.
In the past, Yun Li would definitely not have reacted so quickly.
Sitting in this position is a training after all!
Xiao Wanchou smiled bitterly: "Emperors of all dynasties have considered it an honor to be able to offer sacrifices to the gods at Jishan. It is only natural for Your Majesty to have such thoughts! However, if I were to offer sacrifices to the gods with this body, I am afraid that I may not be able to withstand the ordeal..."
"Yes!"
Gu Xiu agreed, "If something goes wrong when the emperor goes to Fengshan, Yun Zheng will probably raise his army to rebel!"
Everyone can understand that Emperor Wen had the ambition to offer sacrifices to the gods.
After all, by the time of Emperor Wen, this was probably all he pursued.
But what they were worried about was Emperor Wen's health.
"Master Tang, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Tang Shu didn't say anything, Yun Li took the initiative to ask.
Tang Shu came back to his senses, "I was thinking, Your Majesty going to Jishan to offer sacrifices to the gods may not be a bad thing! Perhaps, we can make a big fuss about it!"
"Oh?"
Yun Li asked with great interest, "What do you think, Lord Tang?"
Tang Shu: "Your Majesty, the cost of the ceremony at Jishan must have been huge!"
"The emperor has spent all the money from the court on the Fengshan ceremony. The court has no money left to reward Yun Zheng and his men. Isn't this just to silence the people?"
"By then, it would be reasonable for the imperial court to have no money to compile history, right?"
"If His Majesty orders Yun Zheng to accompany him to Jishan for the Fengshan ceremony, wouldn't this honor itself be a reward for Yun Zheng?"
"It would be even better if His Majesty could take this opportunity to detain Yun Zheng!"
Hearing Tang Shu's words, Yun Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
You know what, what Tang Shu said actually makes a lot of sense!
However, it's probably unrealistic to take the opportunity to detain that bastard!
If that bastard really accompanies the Fengshan Ceremony, he will definitely bring a large number of personal guards!
He still can't forget those damn heavy cavalry!
If the detention fails and that bastard shows his teeth, the court will probably have to use money and food to appease his anger.
"What Lord Tang said does make sense."
Xu Shifu nodded, "However, I am still worried about your Majesty's health!"
"That's true." Tang Shu nodded in agreement. "But the question now is, if His Majesty is determined to hold the Fengshan ceremony at Jishan, how can we dissuade him? If we can't stop him, then we can just go with the flow."
When Tang Shu asked this question, they all fell silent.
dissuade?
How to dissuade?
We can’t say that Emperor Wen was not qualified to be enthroned, but that means that all of them died for their remonstrances…
