Chapter 114 Harmony (1)

Golden Palace.

Today is a grand ceremony every half month.

Civil officials and military generals stand in sequence based on the official ranks.

The civil servants were headed by Su Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, and the military generals were headed by Duke of Wei.

The Great Chu built the dynasty with martial arts, and the style of valuing martial arts was strong, and it would not take a day or two to emphasize martial arts and slight literature.

The Great Chu court did not have a cabinet. The civil servant group headed by the six ministers of the ministers stood together with the powerful military generals and nobles, and suddenly seemed weak and weak.

Duke Wei was the Minister of War, in charge of the military and military forces of the Great Chu. With his official position, he should have stood with civil servants. However, Duke Wei was used to standing at the top of military generals. After more than ten years of standing, even Xuanhe and the Emperor had acquiesced, and others would not talk much.

Government affairs in the court are discussed and decided at daily small court meetings. At large court meetings, they are mostly like praises.

Emperor Xuanhe was brave and warlike and good at flattering censors, all of whom were shamelessly flattering, all of which were nonsense such as "the emperor was wise and powerful" and "the country of great Chu was peaceful and peaceful".

Emperor Xuanhe was very happy when he heard this.

Two years before Emperor Xuanhe ascended the throne, there were a group of upright censors who often submitted memorials to advise the emperor to rest and not to start a war without raising the people.

Emperor Xuanhe killed five censors in a row. Then, there was no opposition in the court. Only "the emperor's wise" and "the emperor's wise" were left.

It is not easy to be a job under the emperor who acts arbitrarily and kills people. The words that civil servants are best at are almost useless.

The imperial guards stood on both sides of the Golden Palace. There were more than a dozen imperial guards beside Emperor Xuanhe. The imperial guards who were qualified to stand beside Emperor Xuanhe were all outstanding in their skills. They ranged from their teenagers to over twenties, and were all handsome young men.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are He Qi and Pei Zhang.

One is the future Prince of the Duke of Pingguo, the other is the future Prince of the Yong'an, one is tall and handsome, and the other is handsome and elegant.

He can be called a pair of young handsome men.

...

At this time, these young handsome men were all flying in their hearts and silently distracted.

Today is the first day of May, and it is the day for the Imperial Hospital exam.

At this time, Cheng Jinrong had already entered the Imperial Hospital and was focusing on the exam!

What’s hateful is that she will be on duty in the palace tonight and cannot get out of it. Otherwise, she will definitely go to the Cheng family to see Cheng Jinrong with her own eyes and ask her how she did the exam…

Pei Zhang's eyes floated and happened to look at He Qi on the other side.

They sneered in their hearts and quickly looked away.

At this moment, Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and started a loud comment: "Report to the Emperor, the Prince of Tatar and his group are about to enter the capital, and the letter of the country has been handed over to the Ministry of Rites. Please check it out."

Prince of Tatar!

A hint of chill flashed in He Qi's eyes, and then he disappeared.

Emperor Xuanhe nodded slightly, and the eunuch stepped forward to receive the letter of the country and respectfully presented it to the saint.

The contents of the letter of the country are: one is to truce and seek peace, and the other is to seek marriage to the princess of Dachu.

Emperor Xuanhe looked unpredictable and asked lightly: "The Tatars wanted to quit and seek peace. The prince asked to marry my princess as the princess. What do you think?"

The Tatar prince came to Dachu for peace and marriage, and the civil and military officials had known about it several months ago. However, the holy heart was unknown, and the ministers made some guesses in private and did not dare to say much in the court.

Now Emperor Xuanhe asked, but he had to answer.

As usual, the Duke of Wei, the leader of the military general, opened his mouth first: "Twenty years ago, the Tatar Khan asked to marry Princess Roujia and had a quit for five years. During those five years, the Tatar secretly raised troops and attacked in one fell swoop, and almost broke through the border."

"Now, the Tatars want to use the same trick again, so they must be careful."

In other words, it is OK to marry a princess and get a truce for several years. However, this battle will still be fought sooner or later, and you must not be careless.

Duke Jingguo agreed: "I agree."

As soon as Duke Wei and Duke Jingguo spoke, the civil officials felt the truth.

The generals who were in power had a military position and wanted to have a quit for a few years, let alone a group of civil officials. The Great Chu Dynasty conscripted wars one after another, and the military service tax was too heavy, and the people were living in poverty. They could have a few years of rest and recuperation, and the people could have a breath. The Great Chu Dynasty, which was full of holes and storms, could have a safe life for several years.

Shangshu Su from the Ministry of Personnel bowed and initiated the memorial: "The old minister thought that the Tatars took the initiative to seek war and peace, which shows that they were not as good as our Great Chu soldiers."

This flattery hit the itchy spot of Emperor Xuanhe. Emperor Xuanhe's expression was gentle: "Su Shangshu's words are reasonable."

The civil officials immediately spoke, slapping the dragon's farts in different ways, so that the emperor would be very happy and should be married.

Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue is the one who supports the truce most: "The treasury is empty and the truce can't support the war anymore. If it can be a truce with friends, it would be better."

Marrying a princess is just a dowry. And it is all out of the emperor's inner treasury.

On weekdays, the treasury has been exhausted. When it comes to war, the supplies, food and supplies are doubled, and the soldiers who died in battle will have pensions. At this time, Liang Shangshu is so worried that he will lose his hair.

Poor Shangshu Liang, before he was fifty years old, his hair was almost gone. His colleague, who was timid and arrogant, gave him a nickname, Liang Shangjianguang. Fortunately, he wore an official hat when he went to court, otherwise the Golden Palace would have been a little brighter.

Emperor Xuanhe listened to everyone's advice, neither saying good nor saying bad, and said, "I will discuss this matter later."

All the ministers accepted the order and changed their discussions on political affairs in the court.

However, the ministers had already seen the holy heart from Emperor Xuanhe's attitude.

If Emperor Xuanhe was unwilling to marry, he would not have allowed the Tatar prince to come to the capital, nor would he have received the letter of the country. It seems that Da Chu would marry another princess from afar.

...

"Qi Bi, Princess Shouning is here."

In the Jiaofang Hall, Qingdai reported softly.

During this period, Mrs. Yong'an Hou had never entered the palace. Empress Pei was thinking about Cheng Jinrong's marriage and was quite restless. She said reflexively: "Just say that my palace is unwell and let her come back another day."

Since being scolded by the sixth prince without any mercy, Qingdai spoke much more respectfully to Queen Pei. At this time, she was unhappy and did not reveal her face. She only reminded her tactfully: "There is a look of worry under the princess's palace, I'm afraid there is something important. The Queen should meet her!"

Songlan also comforted softly: "Yes, since His Highness the Princess is here, the Queen is turned away, and His Highness is not sure how sad."

My daughter wants to see her biological mother, but she refuses to see her. It doesn’t work out if it is reported!

Queen Pei swallowed the sigh in her throat and nodded slightly.

Soon, Princess Shouning Yuan Qiao entered the dormitory.
