Song Li, who was sitting by the side, was different from the past. He rarely spoke at this time, but frowned slightly. Except for Yun Lin, the only one present may know what the plan was about Song Xinghai. Now that the family dinner has begun, he thinks that his father is determined, he can no longer persuade him. It seems that his comfortable life will not last a few days. Chinese website

"Pangda, Li Yun, you two assisted the prince for a long time. Six Gates are in your hands for just over a year. Even though they have made several great contributions to the Holy Lion Empire, it is time to promote you. It just so happens that your Six Gates belong to Mingce Mansion and are familiar with the operation of Mingce Mansion. According to my wishes, Pangda and Li Yun are most suitable for taking over as the chief and deputy commander of Mingce Mansion. As for Feiyang and Congshan, of course, there will be all changes. At that time, your Mingce Mansion will draft a memorandum."

When Song Xinghai finished speaking, the breath in the Fengwu Palace seemed to have stopped. Where is the Mingce Mansion? It is the prince’s mansion. There can only be one commander in the entire Mingce Mansion, that is, the prince Song Li, and Song Li’s family is also in the Mingce Mansion. Can others be the commander?

What is the purpose of His Majesty the Holy Emperor's actions? Is it really necessary to completely weaken Song Li's power? Now this is the only way to make sense.

"Li'er, don't stay in Mingce Mansion. Your home is there. Let Pang Da, Li Yun and the entire Mingce Mansion do things, just move them into the palace."

Song Xinghai obviously had no negotiation tone. To outsiders, this was Song Xinghai's order.

Song Li sat aside, with no expression on his face. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

Song Xinghai nodded with satisfaction, looked at Yun Lin, and then continued: "Everyone knows that I was a free prince before I ascended the throne. Although I have been ascended for two years now, I can't say that I have fully adapted to this position. If you want to talk about what achievements I, Song Xinghai, may have been, my greatest achievement is to give birth to such an excellent son for the Holy Lion Empire, so I decided to find a suitable time to pass the throne to Song Li."

Song Xinghai's words were like a thunderbolt, falling directly into the hearts of everyone. He also suddenly realized that Song Xinghai's decision just now was not to weaken Song Li's power, but to make way for Song Li to take over the throne. Since ancient times, who has heard that the Holy Emperor would also serve as the general and the commander of the Ming Ce Mansion, and to remove Song Li from these two positions in order to become more easily ascend the throne in the future.

Moreover, just now, Song Xinghai had already expressed that he would let Song Li and his relatives of the Prince's Mansion move to the palace to live, which was to let Song Li start regent as the Prince.

"Of course this requires a process. My current plan is to pass the throne to the crown prince for at most two years. If the time is ripe, maybe one year will be enough. You are all important officials of the humerals, and we are the ones who are trustworthy. We are now going to prepare."

Song Li surprisingly did not object. Since his father had not discussed with him in advance, it proved that his father had made his intention and would not change it. He thought that his father made this decision not only for himself to be an idle emperor, but rather weighed the current situation where the gods might be born. If Song Li could take power earlier, he would naturally be able to better fight against the gods.

Such a matter is definitely not something that ministers like them can discuss. At this time, they are also quite embarrassed, either to dissuade them or not to speak out.

Song Xinghai ignored the thoughts of these people. Originally, this matter was not discussed with them. The reason why he distributed such a family dinner was to directly tell these ministers was mainly to prevent Song Li from refusing. Now that the holy order has been issued, Song Li couldn't even refuse.

Song Li could only smile bitterly. My father and mother really used good intentions this time.

A seemingly ordinary royal family dinner actually marked another change of power in the entire Holy Lion Empire. After this dinner, Song Li had to assist Song Xinghai in the palace to assist in the government. The young faction who had been following Song Li was about to begin to make his mark in the court. At a young age, he directly controlled a giant like the Ming Ce Mansion. Although compared with Song Li's own control, the power of the Ming Ce Mansion would inevitably be much weakened, it was still comparable to the six imperial tribes.

After Wei Qianli conquered the territory of the grassland, he regained the control of nearly one million soldiers of the Holy Lion Empire. Although he, a general, had the control of the Ministry of War, he was still of a high position and power.

Fortunately, Song Xinghai has not yet intended to move the six ministries of the court, and Song Li does not have a suitable civil servant at the moment, so he still needs to reuse these old ministers. Moreover, although Song Xinghai and Song Li are two generations, they have the same relationship, so these old ministers do not have to worry about the emperor and the ministers.

The Holy Lion Empire usually lasts five days. This morning, the first thing is to read out Song Xinghai's appointments on the last so-called family banquet. Song Li went to the palace to assist in the government and was promoted to the commander of the Mingce Mansion. He was in charge of all matters in the Mingce Mansion. Wei Qianli was in charge of the army of the Holy Lion Empire and served as a general. Although there was no explicit statement, after a series of holy orders, all ministers were in a clear mind.

Song Xinghai is preparing for Song Li's ascension to the throne. It is expected that Song Xinghai will abdicate Song Li's ascension to the throne in the past two years.

There is another difference between today's morning court. The Shangguan family and the Xuanyuan family, who are the three major families of the Holy Lion Empire, both sent envoys to attend. The Shangguan family sent the woman who had met Song Li in Huchuan a few days ago. The woman was named Shangguan Jinghong, the daughter of Shangguan Yueming, the current head of the Shangguan family. The Xuanyuan family came this time not the young master who was beaten as a pig-headed by Song Li last time, but a middle-aged man. The person's name is Xuanyuan City, and he is the youngest younger brother of Xuanyuan Hui, the head of the Xuanyuan family.

Both of them are core figures in their respective families, which shows how much importance the two families attach to the emperor's mission this time.

The changes in the throne were not something that ministers could discuss, so the main thing about the Chen family that was closely related to the Shangguan family and the Xuanyuan family was discussed.

"I'll tell Your Majesty that the prince's trip was to Huchuan Prefecture to provide disaster relief. It was originally a good thing for the country and the people, but in the end, because the prince launched a large-scale killing, the Chen family was destroyed, and it ended up being discussed by the people. Moreover, the Chen family had the merits of founding the country. Once the prince's reckless move was announced, what would the people of the Holy Lion Empire think? The people would think that your Majesty, you cannot tolerate meritorious officials."

"What Censor Feng said is very true. Once this matter is revealed, what should the Shangguan family and Xuanyuan family think? If Your Majesty does not punish the prince, it will inevitably lead to the hearts of the two great heroes, Shangguan family and Xuanyuan family."

The most important thing in the morning court today was to discuss the affairs of the Chen family. Sure enough, when Song Li reported this matter, a group of censors first jumped out. It was not that they stood on the side of the Chen family, but that these censors were doing the job of finding trouble without any trouble. Moreover, the Chen family's affairs did have a great impact and were quite difficult to deal with.

For the court, the matter of the Chen family is now in a dilemma. As the censor said, if it is announced, even if there are sufficient reasons, it will inevitably be considered that Song Xinghai massacres of founding heroes. If it is not officially announced, Song Li will be suspected of killing innocent people. After all, very few people know about the gods and the nobles, and they cannot be easily announced. Even many ministers present are not very clear about the crimes of the Chen family, but only know that the Chen family kills innocent people.

As for which innocent people the Chen family killed and why those innocent people were killed, Song Li did not make it clear in the court.

"Oh, I heard from the two censors that the court should take into account the feelings of the Xuanyuan family and the Shangguan family when doing anything." Song Li stepped forward slowly and shouted loudly at the two censors.

Faced with Song Li's reprimand, the two censors were not afraid of being censors. Since they dared to serve as censors, they should have the courage to not be afraid of offending others.

"After all, the Xuanyuan family and the Shangguan family have a fiefdom, so the court still has to take into account their feelings." The censor named Feng retorted.

"Okay, since you mentioned the feelings of the two major families, and today the messengers of the two major families are here, then we need to see how the two major families view the Chen family."

Song Li said, and even gave a look to the envoys of the two major families. The two of them understood and nodded to Song Li.

"I'm going to report."

At this time, Shangguan Jinghong shouted together with Xuanyuan City.

“Accepted.”

"The Chen family of Chirifu has been recruiting party members for many years and cultivating close friends to worship, and seems to have plans to plan for the country. That's not all, I heard that the Chen family has killed the people in many places in the Holy Lion Empire, and this is even more so in their fiefdoms. Chirifu has now reached the point where the heavens are angry and people are resentful." Although Shangguan Jinghong was a woman, she reported things in the court and was very skillful, and obviously she was strictly trained by the family.

"I'm asking for advice." Xuanyuan City immediately expressed the attitude of the Xuanyuan family.

"But after coming to the imperial capital, I heard that the Crown Prince was keen. He had already discovered the Chen family's conspiracy and collected a large amount of evidence. Chen Yuran was also sentenced to death. Alas, the Crown Prince was still more skilled, and we were out of reach."

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes in their hearts, and they thought that the girl from Shangguan's family had a better skill in flattering than those around Song Li.

"Oh, does the Xuanyuan family think so too?"

Song Xinghai was very happy and secretly admired his son's methods. The Chen family's affairs were difficult to deal with. The three major families were the names of the three major families. If the two major families took the lead, the court would not have to bear the infatuation of destroying the Chen family at all.

"Yes, my Xuanyuan family is here to accuse the Chen family of crimes this time, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was one step ahead. I admired Xuanyuan City."

Xuanyuan Cheng said, and turned to Song Li and bowed to express his admiration.

Pang Da was very happy. He was just now admiring the superb acting skills of the two censors. He sang with Song Li. Now he has seen Shangguan Jinghong and Xuanyuan Cheng's acting skills that are very contrary to their will. Instead, he feels that the acting skills of the two censors are really not very good, at least their expressions are not rich enough.
