The next day, due to the terrain and climate of the north, the sunrise earlier than the morning court session.
Thus, by the time the court session arrived, the sky was already gradually brightening. Moreover, the morning sun had already risen slowly from the west, illuminating the entire land.
This court meeting was special because of the victory at Yanmen Pass and the return of the King of Qin.
Therefore, almost all the officials arrived at the main hall ahead of time.
When the time for the court session officially arrived, the ministers also walked into the hall and waited for the Emperor's arrival.
The civil officials were led by Yuwen Huaji, Yu Shiji, and Su Wei.
The leaders of the generals were the king of Qin and Lai Hu 'er.
Almost everyone who had participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass had arrived, except for those who were not qualified to participate in the court meeting.
Just like Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, the two of them did not hold any important positions in the court. The only position they held was the commander of the army arranged by the King of Qin.
During the waiting period, the ministers discussed among themselves. Some of the ministers 'gazes were mostly focused on the King of Qin, and the content of their conversation was the same.
However, due to the whispers in the court, no sound was made.
After about ten minutes, footsteps sounded from the royal passage. The emperor, Yang Guang, walked out of the royal passage, escorted by the inner supervisor and the Xiao Guo Guard.
Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly shut their mouths and stood upright.
When His Majesty ascended the throne, the ministers were shocked.
"Ascension!"
The supervisor shouted.
"Long live our emperor!"
The ministers bowed and saluted, and the ceremony ended.
The court session had officially begun. As the officials remained silent, the entire court fell silent.
"Ever since the Battle of Yanmen Pass began, the Great Sui has been surrounded by the enemy, and has been fighting back with all its might, even wiping out more than three hundred thousand enemies. It even beheaded Shibi Khagan and some important Turkic leaders.”
Yang Guang deliberately dragged out his tone.
His voice also became high-pitched.
"Great Sui is mighty. If you fight well, you should dampen the Turkic spirit like this!”
Some of the civil officials were so excited that their faces turned red.
Even though they had long heard of the victory at Yanmen Pass, the impact of this matter was still there when His Majesty personally announced it.
Some of the generals clenched their fists, wishing they could participate in the battle.
It was obvious that there were many people in Great Sui who hated the Turks.
Yang Guang nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with the reaction of the officials.
"The one who made great contributions in this war is the King of Qin, who is also my eldest grandson.”
Yang Guang continued.
All the ministers 'gazes were focused on the King of Qin.
"Your Highness the King of Qin is really brave!"
"How many warriors in the world can behead an enemy general in an army of ten thousand?”
Some of the officials said, their words filled with heartfelt praise.
"The King of Qin has made a great contribution. I was originally prepared to reward him heavily, but the King of Qin doesn't want anything.”
Yang Guang stroked his beard and smiled.
Qin Wang's answer from back then had left a deep impression on Yang Guang until now.
"Not only is he brave, but he is also loyal and filial. The King of Qin is really a role model for young people.”
Another official said.
The seemingly harmonious atmosphere was actually a little heavy.
His Majesty would never deliberately mention this matter in the court. Moreover, he emphasized that the King of Qin did not ask for credit. There must be more to this matter.
"Therefore, I have conferred the title of the current emperor's grandson on the King of Qin.”
As expected, Yang Guang suddenly increased his tone and announced.
When the officials below heard this, their expressions changed drastically. After returning to the Eastern Capital after the battle at Yanmen Pass, he was directly conferred the title of Emperor's Grand Sun?
Li Yuan of the Guanlong noble family was secretly delighted. This was the rhythm. Now that his second son's identity as a Dragon Servant was secure, in terms of the Li family's interests, he naturally fully supported the King of Qin being made the Emperor's grandson.
"Conferring the King of Qin as the emperor's grandson?"
Wang Shiyun, the head steward of Luoyang, frowned slightly and began to ponder about the matter of the King of Qin being conferred the title of Imperial Grand Sun.
Wang Shiyun was from a noble family in the north. He was born in a small family behind a small family in the Hexi Corridor.
The aristocratic families were weak and could not compare to the Guanlong Nobles.
Even compared to the other aristocratic families in the north, they were considered weak existences. It was difficult to expand the power of aristocratic families under normal circumstances.
But now, an opportunity had presented itself.
The King of Qin was extremely brave. With just thirty thousand soldiers, he was able to defeat or even wipe out more than half of the Turkic army. From this, it was not difficult to see that the foundations of Great Sui were still deep and could not be overturned.
Going against the Sui Dynasty was no different from courting death, so it was the most correct way to work for the King of Qin.
Moreover, he had to make a statement in advance. Only in this way could he win the opportunity to be the trusted aide of the King of Qin.
After gaining the trust of the future emperor, it would not be difficult for Wang Shichong's aristocratic family to expand their influence and squeeze into the ranks of the nobles in the court.
Thinking of this, Wang Shichong had already made up his mind. There was no need to say more about how he should express his stance.
"Your Majesty's actions seem to be in a hurry, but in fact, it's not.”
Yuwen Huaji, who was a noble from Guanlong, narrowed his eyes slightly.
The king of Qin had been conferred the title of the emperor's grandson. This move did more harm than good to the Yuwen family's plot, but because of the king of Qin's appearance, Yuwen Huaji had to dispel some of his previous thoughts.
What kind of person did the Imperial Family have? If they had other plans at this time, they would definitely be courting death.
Since it was not advisable to plot, should he choose to be loyal to the Emperor's grandson like he had been loyal to the Emperor before, and then secretly look for an opportunity?
Yuwen Huaji could endure it. Since the time had not come yet, he would wait.
Therefore, he had to gain the trust of the King of Qin and express his loyalty. Naturally, he had to support this matter.
In addition, even if they wanted to oppose it, it would be useless. In the Guanlong Group, at least the Li family was absolutely in favor.
In addition, Su Wei, who was from a Jing State aristocratic family, was close to the royal family. Naturally, he agreed.
Needless to say, Yu Shiji and the others, who were close ministers of the Jiangnan aristocratic families and were part of the Emperor's civil and military team, had a relationship with the Emperor. It was not strange for them to serve the Emperor's grandson.
"With the matter of the crown prince, the situation in the court will change.”
Pei Ju, an important official of a famous family in the west of the river, murmured.
He was also a part of the Northern Nobles, but unlike Wang Shichong, his aristocratic family was one of the most prominent figures in the Northern Tu clan. They were even as important as the Jiangnan Nobles and the Guanlong Nobles, and they had a stable position in the court.
What he was thinking about was what would happen if the King of Qin made him the emperor's grandson.
Naturally, the forces behind him were suppressed and never recovered.
The forces behind him, together with the Jiangnan aristocrats and the Guanlong aristocrats, formed a corner of the court. If they made a wrong judgment on some of the choices, the general trend would naturally dissipate.
In addition, the King of Qin was brave and resourceful. He had defeated the main force of the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, so he might be a master of rejuvenation.
If they went against the trend and supported them, it would be hard to guarantee that their Hebei Pei family would not be affected. If they were sent over to be put in an important position, they would definitely be able to suppress the other forces.
