Chapter 373: Leaving Beijing (10)
The Dragon Star Map is at the end of the team of officials and bows to enter the Golden Palace.
When the emperor entered, all the officials bowed and performed a great ceremony, and shouted long live the mountain: "Meet the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Flat!"
"Long live thanks!"
The old emperor sat on the dragon throne, and hundreds of officials were arranged in two teams, using the civil and military drew as the boundary. The dragon star map stood consciously at the end of the civil servant and listened with politeness.
Li Xi shook the whisk and shouted: "The Emperor has an order! Your Highness, Prince Xuan, Prince Xian goes to the palace--"
Zhou Jie wore a golden prince's wardrobe and strided loudly. Zhou Yun then wore a scarlet prince's wardrobe and walked slightly heavy. Although he had been resting for a day, he still looked weak.
The two of them came to visit: "Son-in-law, please see the father!"
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After the two stood up, the old emperor glanced at Zhou Yun and said, "Prince Xian is seriously injured and should not be established for a long time. I will tell you a short story. Nowadays, foreign countries are eyeing each other and may start wars at any time. The Ministry of War must make every effort to make the move, repel the internal and external stability, and make full preparations. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to let Prince Xian join the Ministry of War. With Prince Xian’s ten years of experience in the border army, I believe it will be a great help to the Ministry of War!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all officials were in an uproar!
If the crown prince is in charge of civil affairs and the wise king is in charge of military power, wouldn’t it be a two-part world?
Zhou Jie was shocked and anxious. Once the army fell into Zhou Yun's hands, it would become the biggest constraint for him to ascend the throne in the future! At this moment, he was unable to give advice directly, so he turned his eyes to Yan Jing and his confidants in the Ministry of War. However, the wise prince was in the limelight and had the support of the Anguo Marquis' Mansion. How could the old emperor listen to the dissuasion and slap himself?
At this time, the old emperor said again: "I have lost my intention in this matter, so no need to worry too much. I believe that the Empress Dowager's vision is a filial son and a pillar of talent. It is his duty as a son and a minister to devote himself to our Daxia Dynasty!"
Zhou Yun stepped out of the line, shook his horn of the robe, knelt on the ground, and said with a strong voice: "My son is obeying the teachings of his father and will do his best to defend his country and live up to his mission!"
"The emperor is wise, I will discuss it!" The Marquis of Anguo stepped forward and was the first to express his support.
Yan Jing was unable to do so, so he had to bow and say, "The emperor is wise, I will also discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!" The ministers compromised one after another.
Zhou Jie was so angry that he didn't dare to do anything. He only regretted that the Kyoto garrison was not effective and failed to kill Zhou Yun on the way back to Beijing!
The old emperor slowly smiled with satisfaction, "Okay! The Longtu National Case was solved this time, and the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and others have made great efforts, and they will all be rewarded! In addition, the father and son of Anguo Hou recommended and assisted Longxingtu for their contributions. After thinking about it, I decided to reward the Marquis's wife the Marquis's favorite Pearl Tower in the South China Sea to commend his wife for his merits in taking care of his husband and educating him! From now on, I will grant his wife Li the title of Princess Shujing, and enjoy the royal blessings forever to comfort the Queen Mother in the sky!"
Although the ministers were shocked, they had no objection.
Li was the only descendant of the Empress Dowager Xian's family and the emperor's cousin. The reason why he had never enthroned the family was to be concerned about the face of foreign countries. Now that the two countries are fighting each other, the emperor's move is to honor the marquis's house on the surface, but in fact, it is to intimidate foreign countries and to raise the identity of the husband's family to marry a daughter, making Princess Mingle's face even more glorious.
Marquis An Guo thanked him in front, and officials behind him whispered.
"It seems that the wedding date of Princess Mingle and the Young Marquis is about to be decided!"
"Yes, Princess Shujing's enthronement is probably the emperor who has made up his mind long ago."
"Of course, Princess Mingle is the emperor's pearl in his hand. Even if the young marquis is idle and unable to make a fuss, the emperor will give the marquis's mansion some decent things for the sake of the princess."
"But this way, the power of the Marquis' Mansion will become increasingly greater, and it is unlikely that the prince and the prime minister will be suppressed."
The Dragon Star Chart was heard all the time, and the fists hidden in the sleeves were constantly tightening.
"In addition, the position of Dali Temple Minister is now vacant, can all the ministers have the right candidate to take over?"
The questions raised by the old emperor later successfully attracted heated discussions among officials at all levels in the court.
Dali Temple is one of the highest judicial organs in the court. Although it is not at its top level, it is in charge of the power of life and death. The Dali Temple minister is in charge of the custody and lawsuits and is the head of Dali Temple. Whoever can sit in this position is equivalent to inserting a knife into the heads of all the officials of the Xia Dynasty!
This is why the former Dali Temple Minister disdained to be with the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister could not do anything about it.
Long Xingtu is an outsider. She watched the show and heard Yan Jing recommending a censor from the Supervision Bureau to take office. Then the prince agreed. The rest of the officials did not dare to refute it and waited for the emperor to decide.
Prince Xian and Marquis An Guo were beyond the expectations of Long Xingtu. Both of them remained silent, neither agreeing nor rejecting it.
The old emperor fell into a brief thought. In a moment, his sharp eyes shot straight at the tail of the team and called out: "Where is the Dragon Star Map!"
The Dragon Star Map was shocked, and he hurriedly left the line and replied in close proximity: "Return to the emperor, the Dragon Star Map of the Grass Min is listened to my emperor's instructions!"
The old emperor stroked his beard and said, "Longxing Map, although you have no official position, you have been through the execution ground for a long time. You understand the importance of the official position of Dali Temple Minister. So, I want to hear your thoughts."
"When I returned to the emperor, Caomin stepped into the capital for the first time. He did not understand the human and abilities of various Beijing officials. Caomin did not dare to draw conclusions." Long Xingtu said carefully. She didn't understand the emperor's mind skills, so how could she dare to show her high opinions? These words were considered self-protection.
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Oh, is Censor Liang going to be promoted to the Dali Temple Minister? Tsk tsk, Censor Liang was in Yihong Courtyard for fun, but he was cheating on prostitutes and did not pay for money. This matter was very big at the time, and it seemed that someone had died, right?"
Everyone was shocked!
Countless eyes were cast towards the gate of the Golden Palace, but under the thin light in the early morning, Li Yanzhou stood elegantly and proudly. He was still handsome and elegant, with a gentle smile, and his bright and dark pupils were always shining with unruly and cynicality.
He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said brightly: "Li Yanzhou meets the emperor! He broke into the Golden Palace without being summoned. Please forgive me!"
The old emperor looked unhappy, frowned, and his voice was angry: "Boy, come in!"
"Abide by the order!"
Li Yanzhou stood up, walked through the crowd calmly and openly, bowed and smiled: "Yanzhou got up early this morning and went to the palace to pay tribute to the emperor. He never thought that when he was passing by the Golden Palace, he accidentally heard the name of Jingshi Liang. When he recalled the old things, he sighed a few words of emotion, disturbing the court officials' discussions. It was Yanzhou's fault!"
Prince Zhou Jie was angry and blurted out: "I said to Mr. Young Master, you are just indulging in and out of some lush places on weekdays. This is a big deal to slander the imperial officials!"
