Peerless Taoist

This was a very unusual phenomenon. Lu Yu had obtained a great position and controlled the entire Imperial Capital, but he had never ascended the throne and sat in the Imperial Palace.    

Some of the people who had gotten along with him secretly encouraged him and wrote requests for Lu Yu to succeed the throne.    

This was a tradition that had existed since the Middle Ages. If it was a powerhouse who overthrew another ruler, he would have to reject at least three times before he could succeed the throne.    

However, Lu Yu did not answer.    

He neither agreed nor refused.    

All the memorials asking for the title of Emperor were left behind in the General Affairs Division. Lu Yu secretly ordered people to record these ministers, but he did not do anything.    

Time passed by just like that, and the entire Imperial Court continued to circulate normally.    

However, the unusual thing was that the previous ministers would head to the Cosmos Hall to meet the Sage.    

Now, if the ministers wanted to meet Lu Yu and discuss political matters, they had to go to the commander camp of the Qianlong Army to meet him.    

This was an extremely unlawful behavior.    

If it had been another emperor, he would probably have been drowned out by the accusations of the Confucians.    

But Lu Yu was a disciple of the Sage.    

Sage Wen's direct disciple had a very high position in the Confucian Sect. Even if he was facing some great Confucians with deep experience, he could still call them fellow disciples.    

Even Fang Mingzhe, the head of the Imperial Court and the conservative faction, could not find a problem with Lu Yu through etiquette.    

"His Majesty is messing around. I'm just worried that His Majesty will leave behind a bad record in the history books." Fang Mingzhe spoke, expressing his concern.    

This was the only way he could do it. He ordered the historical officer to record everything that Lu Yu had done.    

Since ancient times, no one would not care about their own evaluation of history.    

He believed that Lu Yu was the same.    

However, contrary to his expectations, Lu Yu only listened to the reports of his subordinates and could not deny it. He even asked the historical officer to continue recording and make sure it was true and objective.    

This scene made all the officials of the conservative faction uneasy.    

The new Emperor in front of him did not seem to be afraid of his reputation being damaged at all.    

What Lu Yu did seemed to have to be done according to his wishes. He would not be affected by these foreign ministers at all.    

"An Emperor who has no official restrictions. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do." Fang Mingzhe sighed and requested to resign from his post and return to his hometown.    

As Fang Mingzhe left, everyone had a feeling that this was the end of an era.    

The forces of the conservative faction had completely fallen. Although the Lu Party had not entered the central power, a large number of new elites had poured into the Imperial Court.    

A few days later, the court announced a new appointment. Li Si was appointed as Minister of Law and the Grand Secretary of the Martial Meritocrats Hall.    

This appointment pushed Li Si, the young man, to the top of the storm.    

The court was in an uproar. Many people were discussing animatedly. They did not expect that Lu Yu would allow Li Si to reach the sky in a single step and become a highly respected official.    

There were only two people in the Cabinet right now, and their first assistant, Yang Shou, had not been replaced. He was old and experienced, and had the ability to stabilize the Imperial Court. However, everyone could see that Yang Shouyi's power had long been taken over. The true power was in Li Si's hands.    

What really made many people discuss was not Li Si's age, but his background.    

He was the inheritor of the ancient family.    

Since the founding of Great Yu, all the Grand Secretariats in the Cabinet were scholars. Occasionally, there would be cultivators from the School of Military Personnel, but they were not common.
