The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 798 will be released
[Uh, I failed to try to make up the update today, let's make it up tomorrow. 】

After half an hour.

Jiao Shun walked out of the meditation room contentedly with his belt in his hands. Mrs. Wang, who was physically and mentally tortured, got up hurriedly. After meeting her eyes, she quickly turned her eyes away and said in a shy voice, "Why, just..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping away his tears with half-truths and half-false words: "How can I explain this to Baoyu?"

Don't want to wipe away the tears before Jiao Shun pinched the tip of his heart, and said with a condescending sneer: "What are you pretending to do? Didn't you push it to me on your own initiative? Selling my sister and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I've been familiar with it for a long time." right?"

Mrs. Wang was so ashamed that she was speechless, so she had to change the subject and hurriedly said: "Master, let go quickly, don't let Bao girl see."

"Humph~"

Jiao Shun let go with a snort, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "You should do the aftermath. I have things to do at night, so I won't stay here for a long time."

With that said, he took a step and walked outside.

"This, master..."

Mrs. Wang subconsciously rushed two steps, wanting to bring up Jia Yuanchun's matter again, but this was more like a 'sell-out', so it was difficult to get the words out of her mouth.

"rest assured."

Jiao Shun raised his hand knowingly: "Since I have eaten your bait, naturally I will not let you down."

With that said, he picked up the curtain and walked away.

Mrs. Wang watched him go away, stood there in a daze for a moment, ignorant of sorrow and joy, and then remembered to appease Baochai.

But when he reached the door of the meditation room, he hesitated to open the door and enter.

I don't know how long they struggled, the door of the Zen room suddenly creaked and was pulled open from the inside, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of shame and anxiety, but Xue Baochai's eyes were only cold.

"Baby……"

Mrs. Wang stuttered and wanted to say something, but Xue Baochai directly bypassed her and walked out without saying a word.

"Baochai!"

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, she rushed forward to stop her, and said embarrassingly: "I know you have been wronged, but, but this..."

"Madame needs no explanation."

Baochai glanced at her, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "How can someone with a foreign surname beat her own daughter?"

As he spoke, he walked past her again at a brisk pace.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, and then chased after her again, but it was half a step too late, and she was already in the yard when she caught up with Baochai. Pretending to be walking with Baochai, he stepped out of the hut in Qingtang.

…………

Not to mention how Mrs. Wang tried her best to appease Baochai.

But he said that while Jiao Shun was "satisfied with the horseshoe disease in the spring breeze, he could see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day", King Zhongshun was not idle.

Taking advantage of the handover in the evening, the two pavilion elders were both in the palace. He found Wenyuan Pavilion by himself. What are the two elders planning?"

Elder He Ge and Elder Xu Ge exchanged glances, and immediately said tentatively: "The prince is asking..."

"Why does Mr. He Ge pretend to be ignorant?"

King Zhongshun asked a little impatiently, and then tried his best to calm down, pretending to be calm and said: "According to the regulations of our dynasty, after the previous emperor's full moon, it is time to urge the new emperor to succeed him."

Elder He Ge and Elder Xu Ge exchanged glances again, then Qi Qi looked at King Zhongshun without speaking, and waited quietly for his next words.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to join in the show, King Zhongshun cursed secretly, and had no choice but to clarify his words: "It is said that a country cannot be without a master for a day, but in three days it will be the funeral of the Supreme Emperor. How can the enthronement ceremony be mixed up with the funeral of the Supreme Emperor?" , isn't it inappropriate?"

Old Xu Ge heard the words and couldn't help further probing: "Your lord is saying that the day of ascending to the throne hall will be postponed?"

"This king is exactly what I mean."

King Zhongshun nodded in affirmation first, and then added: "Postponing this matter for later discussion, firstly, it can reflect His Highness's benevolence and filial piety, and secondly, it can also avoid taboo."

hiss~
Elder He Ge and Elder Xu Ge both gasped when they heard the words. Although they had already guessed about everything, they were still taken aback by King Zhongshun's arrogance.

It is human nature to avoid the funeral of the Supreme Emperor and postpone the enthronement ceremony, but it is completely different to "deliberate after adjournment".

According to the customary rules of this dynasty, on the second day after the full moon of the national mourning, the cabinet will lead all civil and military officials to urge the prince to ascend to the great treasure early, and King Zhongshun obviously hopes that the cabinet can cooperate with him and delay this matter One drag!
As for the purpose...

Just listen to Zhongshun Wangdao: "When the funeral of the Supreme Emperor is over, everyone will be able to free up their hands. The cabinet additions and the vacancy of the chief assistant will be discussed together at that time!"

To put it bluntly, I hope to use this incident to further create pressure on the queen and Concubine Wu, forcing them to make concessions on more things.

In his view, this is a matter of mutual benefit, which can just solve the cabinet problem in one fell swoop.

But after the two elders listened to it, they vetoed it with one voice: "This is absolutely impossible!"

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Fu He Ge said resolutely: "This is the law established by the ancestors. Even if it is to be changed, it should be implemented only at the initiative of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager, with the support of the ministers. As ministers, how can we make arbitrarily advocates?" Change yourself?"

Although Xu Ge didn't speak again, he nodded with a sullen face, apparently without any accommodating intentions.

King Zhongshun came here full of ambition, but he didn't want to touch these two hard nails, and his face became ugly at the moment. He wanted to leave in a hurry, but the cabinet was the head of civil servants, and he hadn't really been in power yet, so he had to hold back his anger and stand up Said: "It's the king who has been abrupt. I will leave first without delaying the handover of the two elders."

As he spoke, he finally couldn't hold back and flicked his sleeves.

After sending King Zhongshun out of Wenyuan Pavilion, Elder Xu Ge's expression still did not ease, and he said irritably with his long sleeves shaking: "It's really crazy! If such people are allowed to take power, I'm afraid there will be unbearable words It happened."

Elder He Ge let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Originally, he wanted to choose the lesser of two evils, but who would have thought... Alas, I thought that since he knew the principle of keeping a low profile, he must also have some city powers and know the principles of priorities." .”

"Humph~"

Elder Xu Ge sneered: "If you are a Zhongshan wolf, you will be crazy if you succeed! Jiao Shun is certainly a serious problem for us, but in all fairness, he is a talent that can be made, and most of the things he does are also beneficial to the country, but this King of Zhongshun ……snort!"

He snorted again, and walked back to the side hall of Wenyuan Pavilion with a flick of his sleeves.

He Ge is getting more and more helpless. In fact, from the perspective of the cabinet center, the benefits of the New Deal are becoming more and more prominent, but the problem is that when it comes to disputes over orthodoxy, stakeholders from all walks of life cannot help them back down.

…………

But it is said that King Zhongshun rushed back to the palace angrily, and Chang Shi Zhou Mo and Mr. Jiang had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing King Zhongshun's face full of anger, Mr. Jiang knew something was wrong, so he couldn't help but stamp his feet and said: "I said earlier that I shouldn't be too hasty, but my lord... ah~!"

He did not agree with many of King Zhongshun's actions recently, but unfortunately King Zhongshun refused to listen no matter how many times he tried to persuade him.

But in fact, this is also related to Mr. Jiang's recent changes. Originally, he was just a failed candidate. Although he was valued before King Zhongshun, he still had a three-point inferiority complex.

Therefore, in front of King Zhongshun, he can put down his dignity quite a bit. Every time he makes a proposal, he has to make seven or eight detours.

But now what...

Ever since he was mistaken for King Zhongshun's "literary guts", he has become famous in the scholarly circle. He really talks and jokes with great Confucianists and no white men, and gradually he regards himself as a famous scholar.

This celebrity, how can he be obedient and obsequious?

Therefore, when making suggestions, my attitude becomes hardened unconsciously. The king of loyalty and obedience is soft and not hard, and I hold the advantage. In my eyes, there is a scene of all things blooming and full of vitality. How can I listen to Mr. Jiang's persuasion?
At this moment, King Zhongshun was in a bad mood. Hearing Mr. Jiang's steel mouth of "regret or not listening to me", he immediately scolded impatiently: "This is not urgent, that is not urgent. Wait until the crown prince's position on the throne becomes more and more stable. But how can there be a chance for this king?!"

As he spoke, he said angrily: "Those rotten people are all cowards. They say that the scholar rebellion will fail in three years-hmph, even without them, the king himself..."

"My lord, think twice!"

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang hastily persuaded: "It's really inappropriate to have a rift with the cabinet at the moment, firstly it will not help us to create momentum; secondly, the repeated villains below may also be shaken because of this, if it ruins the prince's plan, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? !"

Hearing the words 'broke the plan', King Zhongshun finally regained some sense, so he squinted at him and asked, "In your opinion, so what?"

"Naturally..."

…………

Turn around.

Jiao Shun, who had seen all the clouds in one day, returned to the palace early with dark circles under his eyes. He had just changed into his filial attire when he was notified by the cabinet officials to gather officials of the fourth rank and above in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Although Jiao Shun is a member of the Zhan Shifu who has little Zhan affairs, after all, he has little experience, and the Zhan Shifu is just a false name, but in fact there is no real establishment of a separate organization-after all, everyone knew at the time that the emperor was not long in his life, so there was no need to worry about it. A lot of work for an institution that is destined to be obsolete soon.

So it was only after he got the reminder that he remembered the rules of the full moon's persuasion, and he couldn't help but secretly said that it was a fluke, fortunately he only took a day and a half off, otherwise all the ministers persuaded him but he was the only one who was missing from the Donggong Shao Zhan, wouldn't it be funny?
Immediately, he hurried out of the side hall of Fengtian Hall and hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This boundary is also commonly known as the Daxiong Palace.

When Jiao Shun arrived, all the ministers had already arrived, and it seemed that most of them had been notified in advance.

But Jiao Shun didn't complain because of it. After all, with his current popularity, it was considered fair and upright for the cabinet not to ignore him directly.

He silently walked to the front row of the fourth rank, right next to it happened to be Jia Yucun - Shuntian Fuyin was counted in the local sequence, so he was the last among the third rank.

Jia Yucun definitely didn't dare to talk to him on this occasion, they only exchanged glances with each other, and each of them waited quietly.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager and Empress also arrived one after another, and sat side by side behind the bead curtain.

When everyone knelt down to pay respects, the queen asked knowingly: "Your families are gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, what is the matter?"

It was supposed to be the next time that Fuhege elders would come face to face to answer, saying that the country should not be left without a master for a day, and then led the officials to urge the prince to ascend the position of great treasure as soon as possible.

But as soon as Mr. He Ge raised his head and cupped his hands, King Zhongshun jumped out impatiently and snatched his lines: "I want to report to Empress Qi, as the saying goes, a country cannot live without its owner for a day, and now the funeral of the first country has been over for one month." , it’s time to ask the crown prince to go to the great treasure early to face the audience!”

The officials behind were a little caught off guard at first, and then some of them followed King Zhongshun to persuade them to enter.

Although more people have scruples, it is not easy to be left behind in such things, so the voice of persuasion soon spread like sparks.

Seeing this, Mr. He Ge and Mr. Xu Ge had no choice but to mix in and speak out together.

At this time, the queen winked at Dai Quan who was beside him, and Dai Quan immediately stepped out of the roller blind and shouted 'quiet'.

After the ministers calmed down, the queen called names behind the bead curtain and said, "Where is Zhan Shifu?"

"The minister is here."

Jiao Shun rushed out of the crowd.

"Quickly go to Fengtian Hall and invite the prince here."

"The minister takes orders."

Jiao Shun was dispatched, and hurried all the way to the mourning hall, the prince was fine, but the eunuchs and maids around him were all excited when they saw Jiao Shun, obviously they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Master Jiao."

The crown prince bowed his hands calmly, and Jiao Shun hurriedly returned the salute, then told about the Queen's summons, then looked around to see if there was no one else, and leaned forward to whisper a few more words.

The prince frowned slightly, but nodded quickly.

So the two turned back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony the same way.

Afterwards, things went smoothly, the crown prince decided on the status of monarch and ministers with all the officials on the spot, but because the funeral of the Supreme Emperor was imminent, the enthronement ceremony was postponed to ten days later.

When the specific matters were almost discussed, the Empress Dowager and Empress, under Jiao Shun's reminder, specially invited King Zhongshun to the front, and praised a few beautiful words about Gong Zhongtiguo.

The loyal and obedient king has been proudly belittling the two cabinet elders frequently, and has long since forgotten Mr. Jiang's suggestion to let him be in front of others and try his best to show harmony with the cabinet.

After the matter was over, when he saw Mr. Jiang and Zhou Mo again, King Zhongshun even said boldly that if those rotten Confucians didn't get better, he would join forces with the queen and the little emperor and support the new policy left by Emperor Longyuan.

In this regard, Mr. Jiang naturally disagrees a hundred times.

But things haven't reached a certain stage yet, and he doesn't have to be serious at this time.

And he didn't know why, but for the next two days he had trouble sleeping and eating, always feeling that something was going to happen at the funeral.

So I found Chang Shi Zhou Mo to review the current situation:
Since the Dragon Guards came to cast their votes one after another, several palace gates have been staffed, so they can be notified immediately of any trouble.

The three major battalions have always only respected the emperor's order, and now that the crown prince has not officially ascended the throne, they should not rashly participate in it—especially when it is related to the funeral of the Supreme Emperor.

Jiayu Village in Shuntian Prefecture is a fool, not to mention that although there are hundreds of yamen servants under his command, they are only used for pressing mud legs.

Patrolling the city...

"You don't have to worry, City Patroller."

This was excluded by Mr. Jiang himself. Among the middle- and lower-level officials, the most hostile to Jiao Shun was the Yanguan, and the Xunchengsi was the head of the Yushi Yanguan.

After doing the math inside and out, Mr. Jiang felt a lot more at ease.

There are only a few powerful and violent institutions that can be used in the capital, and the rest are scattered. As long as there are more trustworthy people in the accompanying Dragon Guards, there is nothing to worry about.

Unless someone can conjure up soldiers and horses of the establishment out of thin air, and dare to risk the disgrace of the world and disturb the funeral of the Supreme Emperor.

How is this possible?
