At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.
Chapter 215 Naming the Dragon
"I came early to collect court robes for Brother Ren and Mr. Shen." Li Shiji smiled, then looked at Liang Hao next to him and asked him to hand over the remaining two sets of court robes to the two of them.
After Ren Hao and Shen He took the court robes, they put them on directly.
As soon as the two men had put on their court robes, the eunuchs in the palace shouted at the top of their voices: "The morning court session has begun, all officials are here!!!"
"Shi Huan, you and this uncle stay outside the palace and wait for us. Don't run around in the palace." Ren Hao pointed at Liang Hao standing aside and instructed.
"Okay, sir." Shi Huan nodded and stood next to Liang Hao.
"Hmph, I don't have time to take care of children." Liang Hao's words were full of disgust, but he did not stop Shi Huan from following him.
Ren Hao led Shen He and Li Shiji into the Linde Hall.
The three highest officials in the palace are the prime minister, the general, and the chief censor.
The current prime minister, Zhao Ping'an, had many students and former officials throughout the court. On the surface, they seemed to never deal with the aristocratic faction, but secretly they had already formed a tacit understanding with them. As long as there was a strategy that was not in their favor, they would unite with them, which greatly weakened the influence of the imperial power.
The then Imperial Censor Chen was a representative of the aristocratic faction in the court and also Li Shidao's father-in-law.
Although Chen family has become somewhat related to the current emperor through the marriage relationship with Li family, Chen family is a fence-sitter who changes with the wind.
The current Grand Marshal was the military commander Xu Tiande. Since Xu Tiande was stationed in the army and there were wars from time to time, he never participated in morning court meetings.
After the three dukes there are six ministries.
Among the six ministries, except for the old Minister of Revenue who was the emperor's man, the other five ministries were mixed with either the gentry or people sent by the prime minister.
The first-rank officials of the six ministries are in one row, and the rest are ranked in order of the size of their official rank, all of whom are subordinates of the six ministries.
Confucian scholars were in a separate group and, in addition to recording historical records, were also responsible for recording what was happening in the court every day.
Ren Hao led Shen He and Li Shiji to find the location of the Ministry of Households.
Ren Hao and the old Minister of Revenue Liu stood side by side. They nodded to each other as a greeting.
Li Shiji and Shen He stood in a row with the Minister of Revenue Chen Lang, and they also imitated Ren Hao's behavior and nodded to greet Chen Lang with their eyes.
But Chen Lang didn't even say hello and just pretended not to see it.
After all, Chen Lang was over 40 years old, and he had worked his way up from a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue to a second-rank official after serving His Majesty wholeheartedly. What kind of people were these two? They were second-rank officials right from the start.
Even though Li Shiji is His Majesty's cousin, he is still dissatisfied in his heart.
"Your Majesty is here!!!"
Following the old eunuch's announcement, all the officials in the palace bowed their heads and shouted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"My dear ministers, please don't be polite." Wen Yan walked to the front of the emperor and sat down and shouted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All the officials stood up in an orderly manner.
Wen Yan sat on the throne and glanced at the ministers and officials below, and finally fixed his eyes on Ren Hao.
She thought to herself, you are finally willing to enter the court.
Afterwards, Wen Yan withdrew his gaze and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any morning music today?"
The ministers looked at each other and no one made any comments, as if the world was at peace.
"Since you have nothing to say, I have something I would like to ask you, my dear ministers." Wen Yan glanced at the ministers and talked about the name of the dragon son. He wanted to ask the ministers if they had any good words.
The ministers looked at each other and started discussing.
This is a rare opportunity to please His Majesty. If you can choose the character well, you will definitely be rewarded handsomely.
But if you choose it wrongly and if the emperor is displeased, there will definitely be trouble.
So after all the ministers discussed it, they all kept their mouths shut and decided to wait and see.
Seeing that none of the officials stepped forward to offer their opinions, Wen Yan immediately asked, "Why? Could it be that none of you are interested in the position of the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor?"
The prince's young master?
All the ministers were stunned.
Although the title of Prince's Tutor is an empty title, it has a very profound meaning.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Ma Qian stepped out and said at this time.
"Please speak, teacher." Wen Yan waved her hand.
Ma Qian hesitated for a few seconds, then said with some selfishness: "Based on the experience of this old minister, the future prince should be named Ren and Wenhe."
Benevolence is the core of Confucianism.
It represents dignity, generosity, honesty, diligence and kindness.
I also hope that your Majesty in the future will be a benevolent monarch who can employ virtuous people, listen to their advice, implement benevolent policies and strategies, and benefit the world.
He used the word "benevolence" to implicitly imply that the current emperor is a tyrant.
"Based on your meaning of the word 'Ren', are you implying that the current emperor is a tyrant?" The old Minister of Revenue, Liu, stood up.
"Minister Liu, please do not slander me. I am loyal to Your Majesty and I did not mean to imply anything like that."
"This is just your wishful thinking." Ma Qian shook his head repeatedly, and once again used his loyalty to imply that Wen Yan was a tyrant.
After all, he gave advice many times without fear of life and death, but Wen Yan never listened to a word, and insisted on his own way and acted arbitrarily, which was really a tyrant!!!
Although Wen Yan knew that Ma Qian was making a fuss with his words, he was secretly scolding her sarcastically.
But she had no choice, after all, the other party didn't say it.
It felt like being slapped in the face, but there was nothing you could do about it.
Very frustrated.
"Old Minister, the teacher did not mean that, so let's not confront each other." Although Wen Yan felt unhappy and aggrieved, he was magnanimous and did not pursue the matter.
We should blame the officials, as not a single one of them stepped forward to nominate a name.
"My dear ministers, is there no good meaning for this word?" Wen Yan glanced around again and was reluctant to agree with Ma Qian's word "Ren".
If the word "benevolence" was spoken by someone else, she would be able to accept it easily.
But from what Ma Qian said, she was really reluctant.
The old man's little thoughts and calculations were all written on his face.
If Ma Qian had become the prince's teacher in the future, regardless of whether he was a benevolent monarch or not, he would definitely be a benevolent monarch in the eyes of Confucianists.
Wen Yan was extremely unwilling to do this.
"I have one word."
At this time, Zhao Ping'an and other ministers stood up and began to nominate characters for His Majesty.
Among these ministers, all kinds of names were nominated for the dragon son, but Wen Yan was not satisfied with any of them.
One thing that can make Wen Yan quite satisfied at the moment is that Zhao Ping'an's name is Ming, with the courtesy name Wenhao. Minghao implies that the achievements of a wise ruler will be passed down to ten, a hundred or even ten thousand generations.
Another one is the character "Feng" chosen by Censor Chen, which means "Rao", implying that the land of the Han Dynasty will have a bumper harvest every year without any disasters.
However, when it comes to the ability to flatter the emperor, Censor Chen is slightly inferior, and this Zhao Ping'an is indeed quite capable.
"Wenhao, this is really a brilliant idea."
"The Prime Minister is truly a man of great talent."
Zhao Ping'an's disciples and former officials also began to praise and flatter Zhao Ping'an, all of them looking as if they had learned something.
