King Qi?
Add nine tin?
Sword shoes?
Don't rush to court?
Praise and worship without name?
This series of terms caused everyone's brains to freeze!
At this moment, they were all staring at Li Er, speechless.
The courtiers were all familiar with etiquette, official titles, and history.
They naturally knew what Li Er meant by what he said just now!
He also knew what kind of consequences these things could cause!
King Qi was directly conferred the title of King!
Moreover, he was the most honorable King among all the Kings!
Although the current king was different from the kings of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, he did not have actual control over his fief.
However, that was still a huge influence!
In particular, Ye Chen, who had a different surname, could be conferred the title of King Qi. This was something that made them even more afraid!
What sorcery did Ye Chen use?
He actually made His Majesty issue such a muddle-headed decree?
One had to know that the way to become a king was to cause chaos.
The vassals in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, and the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in the Jin Dynasty were all drawbacks brought about by enfeoffment.
It was still fine if he gave it to a disciple with the same surname, but it was still his own dynasty.
If the King of a different surname rebelled, then there would be a change of dynasty…
Actually, this was still considered good.
Jia Jiuxi was what made the ministers panic!
The nine tin were the nine types of ritual vessels that had existed since ancient times. They were the nine types of ritual vessels that the emperor had given to the dukes and ministers who had made special contributions.
The nine tin were chariots and horses, clothes, music, Zhu Hu, Na Bi, Hu Ben, axe, bow and arrow, and wine.
Although it had been simplified, it was still the highest level of courtesy!
No one in the Great Tang had ever received such treatment!
Not even Li Er's favorite prince!
More importantly, there were countless painful precedents in history!
It was enough to be used as a negative example!
Wang Mang was given nine tin by the Great Han Dynasty and later established the new dynasty.
Cao Cao was awarded nine tin by the Han Dynasty (of course, he had imposed it on himself), and his son Cao Pi established Cao Wei!
Sima Zhao was given nine tin by Cao Wei, and his son Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty!
Huan Xuan was awarded nine tin by the Eastern Jin Dynasty and later established Huan Chu.
The founding emperors of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, and Chen Baxian, had all received nine tin from the previous dynasty before establishing a new dynasty…
In modern times, Wang Shichong requested the Sui Dynasty's Emperor Tai Lord Yang Dong to give him nine tin, and then directly established the country as Zheng.
There was a more intuitive one:
Li Yuan received nine tin from the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty...
These were all living examples.
So many people who added nine tin later rebelled!
Moreover, he had established a new imperial court!
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Li Er had conferred Ye Chen the title of King Qi and added nine tin. If that was not the path of chaos, then what was it?
Moreover, Lee Er even allowed Ye Chen to enter the palace with his sword shoes? Don't rush to court? Praise and worship without name?
The sword was a weapon, and officials could not bring weapons when they met the emperor.
She was referring to her shoes. She had to take off her shoes when she saw the emperor.
After receiving the treatment of "walking on swords in the palace", one could wear swords and shoes to meet the emperor!
Entering court without haste meant that when the officials were meeting the emperor, they could not stride forward. They had to walk quickly in small steps to show their respect to the emperor.
However, with the treatment of " not rushing into the court," they did not need to walk briskly. They could straighten their backs and walk normally. They did not need to lower their heads when they met the Emperor!
When the officials went to see the emperor, they had to wait outside the palace gate.
Only after the official reported the official's official position and name to the emperor and the emperor agreed could he meet the emperor.
After receiving the treatment of "not being named when praising", the Praise Officer would not call the person by his name, but only by his official position!
Generally, ministers with such privileges would have the intention to usurp the throne!
Not only did they enjoy these privileges as individuals, but they had also reached the limits of their official positions.
For example, Cao Cao, who was granted the title of King of Wei, was the only king with a different surname at the end of the Han Dynasty. Then add nine tin, enjoy the same honor as the emperor; In addition, his official position and privileges could be hereditary.
All these privileges added together made it very clear that Cao Cao was the emperor in reality. All he lacked was a title.
Therefore, after Cao Cao added nine tin, Xun Yu and other loyal officials of the Han Dynasty could not stand it.
Each of these three privileges represented the authority of a high-ranking official!
These were all privileges that the officials dreamed of!
But now, Lee Er did not even blink and gave it all to Ye Chen.
This caused the courtiers to panic!
All of these titles and privileges, in the eyes of the courtiers, were the path to chaos!
They were all hidden dangers for the Great Tang in the future!
Therefore, they were all shocked and wanted to stand up and ask His Majesty to retract his order!
Of course, no matter how fast the courtiers were, they were not as fast as Wei Zheng, who had already laid an ambush.
Wei Zheng had been waiting for this moment!
Now, things had developed to the point where they almost couldn't stop.
Everyone felt that Li Shiming was spouting nonsense!
Therefore, he needed someone like him to save the situation!
Wei Zheng even suspected that Li Er did it on purpose.
He deliberately said these things that would definitely not be accepted by others.
Then, he would lure him out and the two of them would have a good show.
His name was passed down in history!
After all, this matter was unreliable.
A young man who had never stood out in everyone's eyes had actually obtained the respect second only to the emperor!
It was obvious that this matter would not work!
He couldn't help but be secretly happy. A chance to fight had come just like that!
Therefore, at this moment, Wei Zheng's footsteps were filled with confidence.
When he spoke, he was full of energy.
"Your Majesty! You mustn't!"
"The enfeoffment of kings with different surnames has been the way to cause chaos since ancient times!”
"The Emperor of Zhou will enfeoffe the vassals. A hundred years later, the world will be in chaos!”
"Han Gaozu enfeoffed his descendants. A hundred years later, the world was in chaos!”
"The Sima family of the Jin Dynasty also enfeoffed the people. A hundred years later, the world will be in chaos!”
"Your Majesty! Rashly enfeoffing people with different surnames is a sign of the Great Tang's destruction!”
Wei Zheng spoke with every step, crying blood with every step, acting vividly.
He walked straight into the main hall.
He continued,
"He is conferred the title of King Qi, with nine tin added to it.”
"It's fine if Your Majesty conferred the title of prince, but Ye Chen is just a commoner.”
"What virtue and ability do you have to shoulder this honor!”
Wei Zheng's appearance was indeed extraordinary. Everyone looked at Wei Zheng and could not help but nod.
There was nothing to say. This old fellow's ability to speak was too awesome!
Every word was said to be a pearl, and the whip pierced into the heart!
He said everything that they wanted to say but didn't dare to say!
Wei Zheng continued,
"Your Majesty, I don't know what merits and abilities Ye Chen has to be so valued by Your Majesty.”
" However, no matter how capable he is, he is not qualified to enjoy such high treatment!”
"This is ridiculous!"
"From what I can see, Ye Chen must have a glib tongue to deceive Your Majesty!”
"I hope Your Majesty will repent in time and retract your order!”
"And take Ye Chen down! Put him on death row!"
"Otherwise, our Great Tang will be in chaos, and the country will be in shambles!”
"If Your Majesty doesn't listen, I will die to show my determination!!!”
