Chapter 694 The Great Court Meeting!

Chapter 694 The Great Court Meeting!

It’s dawn.

The Great Court Meeting is different from the usual Upper Court Meeting. Officials do not need to wait at the gate of the palace before dawn. Instead, it will be arranged in the morning. And because yesterday was a grand banquet in the palace, it is more humane than before. It was delayed for an hour.

Therefore, many officials choose to go to the Yamen first, deal with the things at hand, do some things, and then estimate that the time is almost up, then tidy up their official uniforms and go to "catch up" .

Actually, some people do not take sides. To put it another way, only a small half of them firmly take sides.

After all, the benefits of following the dragon are high, but the risks are also high;

There are always many people who will choose to stay safe. As for the way to make progress, not everyone has a strong ambition to make progress, no matter what At any time, no matter where, as long as the number of groups reaches a certain number, those who are dawdling will never be aliens.

This is also the reason why the backbone of the Liuye Party are basically new officials in the past few years. They have little qualifications and little accumulation. The people in front of them can just hang around, but they generally don't want to.

Furthermore, the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly and everything went according to plan, so what else happened?

If you don’t pull out the old radishes, how can these new radishes move away?

It’s better to follow His Highness the Sixth Prince and give it a try!

At the same time, due to the arrangements made by the Sixth Prince in his early years, he was the benefactor of a large number of officials who entered the imperial examination and became official officials. It was only natural that they would seek refuge with him.

Of course, there are quite a few forces on the Prince's side. It seems that they are not as powerful as the Sixth Master's Party, and they are often forced into corners. If His Majesty hadn't personally stepped in to balance the situation several times, maybe the East Palace would have been there earlier. It is unstable, but in fact, there is a large group of "silent majority" in both the government and the public.

They will not run for the prince, nor will they charge for the prince. During the holidays, they can even skip the etiquette. Even, they are not very motivated to get promoted, but they hope Maintain the status quo and maintain a stable situation in the court, so if they are forced to take sides, they are still willing to side with the prince.

“Oh, it’s very interesting. It’s almost divided into the right wing and the left wing.”

Lord Zheng, who was riding on Pixiu, was eating the meat buns made by Siniang in his hand in the morning while listening to Sun Ying's teasing remarks about the intelligence collected in the past few days.

The prince is kind and advocates self-cultivation;

The sixth prince is determined to make progress, and his methods are very similar to those of Emperor Yan.

The positions are very opposing, and the political directions are also very opposing.

"The Marquis's evaluation is quite appropriate. The two wings of the Kunpeng, which are both the Great Yan, are in each other's presence, but they are opposed to each other, but they are inseparable from each other. It's wonderful, wonderful. ”

A smart person, even if he has never heard this kind of new word evaluation, can immediately understand it based on the previous text, and can continue to spread:

"This is also the reason why I think His Majesty has been vacillating. He It seems that they are also weighing which direction Dayan should take in the future. "

“This is the disadvantage of having too many sons who are too good.” Mr. Zheng shook his head, “A well-fed man does not know a hungry man is hungry.”

“Yes.”

Xue San came back last night and helped Ji Laoliu bring back a message to him,

He said that the medicine he left in the carriage last time was for children to help with pregnancy. It was very effective and Zheng Fan could use it.

Hearing this message, Lord Zheng,

sweared directly:

Beast!

……

Arriving at the palace gate,

Sun Ying stayed and did not go in.

Zheng Fan rode Pi Xiu and entered the palace, sitting on Pi Xiu's back under the guidance of a city guarding school captain.

"Changed the defense?"

After all, he was born in the military. After taking a look inside, Zheng Houye found that something was wrong with his face and equipment.

The original guard of the imperial city seems to be strict, but in fact it pays more attention to majesty. After all, no matter what time, the probability of the true core of the empire being attacked is still the lowest. The so-called Ouchi bodyguards are inseparable from his own bodyguards in Feiyu uniforms. , good-looking is the first priority, and it must reflect the majesty of the royal family.

However, because Lord Zheng was afraid of death, his bodyguards all chose tough soldiers from the army.

Ping Xihou’s question,

the led captain did not dare to answer.

How could you talk about the palace defense matters so carelessly?

Can't you ask me in a lower voice or secretly?

However,

there is no need to wait for an answer.

Because, Zheng Fan saw the fourth child standing in front of him.

The fourth man was dressed in military uniform and stood on the royal road. He did not look mighty or impressive at all, but looked as if his mother had just died.

"Ha...Pfft...Cough..."

Zheng Houye couldn't hold it back and laughed. Then he looked up at the sky, as if he just realized that today's clouds seemed to be particularly special. Noisy.

The fourth prince stretched out his hand, and the soldiers behind him also raised their swords.

“Please Lord Pingxi, please dismount.”

Zheng Fan nodded, turned over and got off Pixiu.

The fourth child stepped aside and signaled to Marquis Pingxi that he could continue inside.

Stern and selfless.

The fourth child has figured it out. He is afraid and timid, but there are some things that he has to do.

At least, for this generation of the Ji family, even the sixth brother, who is almost as intelligent as a demon, has been manipulated by his father into losing his temper, let alone him.

He will not fight for the position, nor will he fight for that. Today, he will be a selfless goalkeeper.

Don’t take sides or look aside, just do your own thing well and hold your post well.

The rest,

who do you love?

If I do all this and still fail to escape from that vortex, then God is really going to kill me. No, I am the one who insists on taking my son there because I am afraid of being lonely.

Cheng,

Just go,

Old guy!

Next, when other officials entered, the fourth prince stared at everyone with a cold face, checking everyone's clothes to see if there was anything.

There were a few petty officials who were not sure what was happening in the limelight. Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly changed their defenses to the palace, they thought that a big accident was about to happen. They were not qualified to squeeze into the princeling party or the sixth master's party, so this After a while, he deliberately offered flattery.

In history books, it is not a new thing for an emperor to pass the throne to an unexpected prince in his final years, right?

Then,

the fourth prince said coldly to the censor beside him:

“This, this, and this lord have behaved inappropriately in front of the palace.”

The censor saluted and said:

"The official has written it down."

Mr. Zheng was already walking up the steps.

He stopped,

turned around,

looked back,

that was Rows of soldiers and rows of dressed-up beasts symbolizing the operation of the empire are entering in an orderly manner;

Suddenly,

there was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Like a sentimental person, looking at the bamboo forest in autumn.

It happens to be cloudy today and the sky is a bit gray, which suits my mood quite well.

Shakes his head,

Smiling,

Zheng Houye walked into the hall.

Alas,

I have to... line up my position again.

Zheng Houye has a headache. He has only attended court a few times in total. He is really not familiar with some etiquette and rules. Fortunately, he did come back after he had reached a sufficient level outside. .

At the banquet last night, a nobleman who was a military lord came up to greet Mr. Zheng very enthusiastically.

Mr. Zheng couldn't remember his name at all, so he just grabbed it. His arms responded with great enthusiasm;

Ask how your mother is and how your children are.

Fortunately, I kept my head clear and didn't ask if I was okay. Honorable Lord Chengjue, if I were still here, would it be his turn to go to court?

This one silently sent Mr. Zheng to the front of the column on the right, then left and walked back to his position.

Marquis Zheng was found the correct position, and he laughed in his heart;

Fuck, no one who can stand here and sneak into the court, even if he relies on reincarnation, is not easy.

That person had obviously noticed the embarrassment in his steps long ago and deliberately came to guide him.

Zheng Houye deliberately turned forward again, wanting to take a closer look at that person's appearance. It's good to be such a good person, you have to remember.

At this time,

The ministers had already entered the palace, and they were still chatting among themselves in low voices.

But Zheng Fan can clearly capture that at this time, some people are obviously absent-minded. In this hall, two factions seizing the throne, one is preparing to attack, and the other is probably aware that they are about to be attacked. They are all concentrating. Be prepared.

The storm is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building;

It's good,

Today will definitely be particularly exciting.

The censor in charge of inspection and a red-robed eunuch came forward for a final inspection.

Everyone knew that it was about to start, so they immediately stopped whispering and stood still.

Finally,

the center of the most powerful empire in the East reflected its majesty and sanctity.

At this time, Zhao Jiulang, the prince, and the sixth prince also came in.

Only then did Lord Zheng realize that

he had entered early.

As a heavyweight character, I should have come in now, oh, I was negligent, I was negligent.

Zhao Jiulang stood on the left, and Ji Laoliu stood below him. Although he is a prince, Ji Laoliu is the actual and unnamed minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Standing there, it is reasonable.

The prince stood on the platform between the dragon throne and the minister's position. This is truly the place where one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

At this time, many officials paid attention to Zheng Fan's side. They had noticed that there were some empty seats at Pingxi Marquis's place.

Wei Zhonghe’s long chant

broke the atmosphere at this time.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

All the ministers knelt down, even the prince knelt down.

"Long live my emperor!"

After a while,

a familiar and majestic voice came from above:

"All my dear friends, please get down. ”

“Long live Xie!”

Everyone stood up,

Then,

collectively,

with a look full of affection and concern, "swish, swish, swish" towards the person on the dragon chair. That Ninety-Five Supreme!

Your Majesty is sitting on the Dragon Throne,

Sit up straight.

Six Ye Dang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this time, the healthier His Majesty is and the more he can persevere, it means that everyone has more time and more.

The princeling feels a little bitter in his heart.

At this time,

Yan Huang’s sonorous voice came:

"I have been raised in the back garden for a long time, and I am really a little unfamiliar with government affairs. On the occasion of the great meeting, let's first talk about some important government affairs of various ministries;

Let me, Let all ministers have a clue in their hearts.”

The emperor’s aura is so strong.

Zheng Houye pursed his lips. The emperor’s state today doesn’t look like he took drugs?

As you can imagine,

The prince and Ji Laoliu over there were only more concerned about and worried about Emperor Yan's body than themselves.

Fortunately,

They should be... used to it;

I am used to it. Every time I seem to be dying, I will suddenly stand up again.

What a pity,

In this hall,

except for His Majesty, and Wei Zhonghe, who vaguely guessed something because he was a Qi Refiner,

no one knew clearly,

this person at this time The emperor, who seemed to be full of energy and looking well restored,

had only nine days left to live.

At this time,

I was roasted duck a few days ago,

Oh no, it was the old minister of the Ministry of Rites who was so angry that he fell ill from the king of Zhenbei that he is now attending court even though he is sick. He is the leader of the six real powers. It belongs to the Ministry of Personnel, but the Ministry of Rites is the most noble.

However, before the boss could speak, Emperor Yan turned his attention to Zheng Fan.

Zheng Houye’s place is indeed a bit empty.

In the original place of four people, only Mr. Zheng stood, and the people below did not dare to move up to fill his place.

Emperor Yan asked doubtfully:

"Where are the kings of Zhenbei, Jingnan and Wujiang?"

Weren't they sent by you to fight the barbarians?

Master Zheng came out,

He replied:

"In reply to Your Majesty, Prince Jingnan, I said that I am too lazy to come and listen to nonsense."

It means that I am too lazy to stand here and listen to nonsense.

The old Minister of Rites next to him suddenly felt as if he had been shot with an arrow.

At this moment, his condition worsened again.

The whole hall was silent.

Subsequently,

A censor came out and said,

“The king of Jingnan is domineering!”

Then,

Other officials came out:

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The participation here is a bit formalistic.

Because King Jingnan is the person who can do such a thing.

King Jingnan is domineering,

Oh no,

It would be abnormal if King Jingnan is not domineering!

I won’t mention the matter of the stone lion and the imperial envoy. A few days ago, the slogan "Qing Jun Side" was shouted outside the city.

Furthermore, King Jingnan has a withdrawn personality, and even the servants arranged by the Internal Affairs Bureau have been sent back. Isn't it normal for him to be quiet in the mansion alone now?

Everyone also knows that visiting Jingnan King at this moment is just a formality, but it must be done, otherwise it will be indifferent.

Emperor Yan smiled and

said:

"I understand."

"The general of Zhenbei Palace, Qingshuang, asked for an audience outside the Qingshuang Palace. ”

"Xuan."

Qingshuang walked in,

knelt down and saluted:

"Long live my emperor, general."

"Liang Ting What?”

"Replying to Your Majesty, Your Majesty felt that he did not enjoy the wine in the palace last night, so he took His Highness to drink in the evening, and then... Your Majesty and Your Majesty got drunk together. Now they are still drowsy and unable to come to court."

The ministers present looked at each other, good guy, it still tastes the same!

For the prince who could roast a leg of lamb in the royal study, it was perfectly normal for him to drink too much and not be able to attend the court meeting.

You know, five years ago, everyone almost thought that people were going to raise troops to fight against Yanjing and rebel!

As for the eldest prince,

Well,

it can only be called unlucky, it’s this neighbor.

At this time,

another censor sighed,

stepped forward:

"The king of the north of the town is domineering!"

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

Everyone went through another formality.

By the way,

I also played for the eldest prince.

"Wei Zhonghe, send someone to deliver some sobering soup later."

"I obey the order."

This matter,

That's it. Like being put down.

This is expected.

Of course, there are also many "smart people" who believe that the two kings of the north and south did not come to attend the meeting because they were too lazy to get involved in the final battle for the heir. With their status, there was no need to go through this. It's better to just seek some peace and quiet at home.

Next,

Finally the old minister of the Ministry of Rites spoke.

Then,

They are other bosses in various ministries. The household department is not led by Ji Chengjue, but by another official.

Office officers from other bureaus also came out and gave a rough talk.

Finally, the prince reported on some of the things he had done when he was supervising the country, and then Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, made a summary. word.

The process is very long.

But the guys were not impatient at all, because almost everyone present knew that something big was going to happen today.

Even Mr. Zheng, who never liked listening to lectures, kept keeping his spirits up.

He was thinking about where Ji Laoliu was going to attack the prince.

A mistake in administration?

Prince, there was no mistake.

Although this prince looks like a doormat, he is really capable. When he was supervising the country, all aspects of the court were running well.

Comparing him with His Highness the Sixth Prince is indeed a bit of a joke, but the problem is that he may have been hiding his edge. He just wants a stable position in the East Palace.

Zheng Fan also felt that starting from government affairs, even if there were mistakes, it would probably be difficult to defeat the prince in one fell swoop.

Any other aspects?

For example, bury a dragon robe or something under the East Palace Garden?

With the domineering kings of the north and south in front, it seems that it is not a big deal for the prince to collect a dragon robe, right?

Colluding with army generals?

If Ji Laoliu uses this to hit the prince, he is mocking others for being dirty while he is dirty.

Who in the whole court does not know about his relationship with Ji Laoliu?

So,

What exactly is Ji Laoliu going to use to beat the prince?

Moreover,

a fatal blow is needed.

After all, there is not enough time to slowly nibble away and fight.

Finally,

Zhao Jiulang also finished his speech.

Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't seem to feel tired at all. He still sat upright:

"I feel very relieved, I feel very relieved. Thank you for your hard work, ministers."

At this time,

everyone knelt down again with understanding:

“I am terrified.”

"Be flat, be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Master Zheng is really curious, how did you guys practice to be uniform?

“If there is anything else that needs to be played, just play it.”

Wei Zhonghe took half a step forward:

"If you have something to do, please leave the court."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Everyone was shocked,

Here we come,

Coming!

Sure enough,

At this time,

Dazongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, the patriarch of the Ji family and the current uncle of His Majesty, Ji Changwang walked out.

“Your Majesty, I have something to report.”

"Accurate report."

"Your Majesty, in the first ten days of the month, I found the bloodline of the Yitian family among the people."

The royal bloodline will also include the clan surnamed Ji.

The bloodline of the Tian family refers to the lineage of Emperor Yan alone.

"Oh?" Emperor Yan made a confused sound.

The clan mansion has the responsibility of managing the Ji surname in the world and safeguarding the bloodline of the Tian family, which is inevitable.

Ji Changwang continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, there is a woman living with her young daughter in a farm in Gyeonggi Province. There is a token beside the woman to prove her identity."

At this time,

the prince standing above suddenly opened his eyes and looked down. What he saw was not Da Zongzheng who was talking, but the one standing among the officials. His own younger brother, Ji Chengjue!

At this time,

Many of the ministers present had already guessed in advance who it was, and on the premise that conspiracy theories came first, they used this as a means of attack;

Then, there are only two princes in the palace.

Either the Crown Prince beat the Sixth Highness, or the Sixth Highness beat the Crown Prince.

There is no reason to take it out at this time to fight the prince who is not here.

Looking at the prince who was standing above him, the most conspicuous person among thousands of people, suddenly lost his bearing, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Da Zongzheng continued:

“This woman is full term and was born on the third day of June in the third year of Yongping.”

The third day of June in the third year of Yongping,< br>
All the ministers began to calculate silently in their minds. With the date of birth, and by calculating the pregnancy period forward, they can calculate the approximate time when the seed was sown.

Moreover, Da Zongzheng also said that this woman was full term.

Then,

the expressions of the ministers who had calculated it first suddenly changed.

A few backbone princeling officials cast their disbelieving gazes at the prince standing above, and they themselves looked ashen at the same time.

When the woman was conceived, the queen passed away!

Not only was it during the filial piety period, but the queen was buried in Emperor Yan's own imperial mausoleum after seven or forty-nine days of mourning in the palace.

It is very possible,

When the woman was conceived, Queen Daxing was still in the state of death, that is... the bones were not yet cold!

This is,

the real thing,

Treason!

At this moment,

Zheng Houye’s mind

The words of Ji Laoliu that Xue San brought back last night suddenly appeared:

Zheng Fan,

This medicine is very effective, you can use it. (End of this chapter)
