The king will never go to court

Chapter 158 Chapter 157: Mu Zaifu (ask for subscription, ask for monthly ticket)
In the early morning of the next day, the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and everyone nervously watched the figure not far away.

It's just a person, with a slender figure, which is eye-catching under the rising sun.

Visitors walked across the arch bridge made of white jade and came to the square in front of the imperial city.

At this time, many civil and military personnel from the Manchu Dynasty came here, among which the most eye-catching one was Mu Ziyue, a member of the Ministry of War.

"No wonder Mu Ziyue came here so early today, feeling refreshed."

"Hey, the old guy Mu Ying didn't come today, is he going to break with His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Look, that person, that person is His Royal Highness King Wu!!!"

On the white jade arched bridge, Xie Wufeng, dressed in brocade, walked very calmly, alone.

Prince Li's mansion is being repaired, and all his guards have been sent by him as coolies.

When Xie Wufeng took the first step down the white jade arch bridge, Mu Ziyue paid homage to him, "Your Majesty, see Your Highness King Wu."

The voice was so loud that all the officials present could hear it.

All of a sudden, in the square outside the imperial city, all the officials trembled, and some young low-ranking officials also knelt on the ground and saluted King Wu.

People with discerning eyes have already seen the origins of these people, and they all have a little relationship with the Mu family.

More and more officials knelt down to pay homage to the king of Wu, and their voices became louder and louder. Even the officials who pretended to be deaf and dumb couldn't stay out of the shouts of others and the crowd of worshipers.

"Veteran see His Royal Highness King Wu."

It wasn't until Xie Wufeng walked in front of the six ministers that Zhang Yannian bowed and saluted, his voice still as lively as usual.

Xie Wufeng glanced at the Hubu Shangshu and the other ministers who closed their eyes and meditated, and said lightly, "Master Zhang, you are already old, it is better to resign and go home to take care of yourselves."

"boom!"

King Wu's voice was very soft, but it was indeed like five thunderbolts to everyone's ears.

Zhang Yannian pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands to Xie Wufeng, expressing his deep gratitude, "Thank you His Royal Highness, King Wu, I will go back and write my remarks."

After speaking, Zhang Yannian walked slowly towards the left side of the white jade arch bridge with the support of two servants.

Not far away, the old butler who was waiting beside the carriage saw his master walking towards him suddenly.

He hesitated for a moment at first, then quickly walked up to him.

Among the hundred officials, the six ministers all had different complexions, but everyone was amazed by Zhang Yannian's abnormal behavior.

But before everyone could react, an eunuch shouted loudly at the palace gate of the imperial city, "Your Majesty's body is caught in the wind and cold, today's court meeting is cancelled."

"Does Your Majesty dare not meet King Wu?"

"Now that King Wu is back, His Majesty the Emperor can only hide in the imperial city and dare not see anyone."

"What should we do? Is it true that Zhang Zaifu wants to resign?"

Many courtiers in the square cast their eyes on Zhang Yannian, who was far away from the crowd and his back was hunched, each with their own plans in their hearts.

"Master Shangshu, what should we do?"

An official of the household department asked in a low voice, "The front line is still fighting. If His Majesty does not see his courtiers at this time, the prime minister will not be able to manage political affairs. I'm afraid."

However, before the officials could digest the news of Zhang Yannian's resignation, Xie Wufeng stood under the imperial city and released another big news.

"My lord, I want Mu Ziyue, a former member of the military department, to take up the post of Zaifu."

All the people present shifted their eyes from Zhang Yannian to King Wu standing in front of the six ministers, and couldn't believe what they heard just now.

"Your Majesty has a purpose."

All the officials knelt down on the cold bluestone floor, only King Wu stood there calmly, his slender figure standing straight.

"I'm a little tired these days, and the affairs of the court are all decided by King Wu."

The officials knelt on the ground and raised their heads one after another, trying to see the eunuch in the imperial city clearly. It was indeed Wang Decai, the chief executive.

Among the crowd, only Mu Ziyue turned his head sideways, looking at Xie Wufeng's profile with a look of enlightenment.

Unexpectedly, King Wu had already settled all this when he returned to the capital.

Emperor Qian was waiting for that celestial being to take action, and King Wu was also waiting for the end of the war against Yan.

I learned from the eldest prince that when the army of the Qian Kingdom moved south, the major sects of the Qian Kingdom threatened the Shuiyue Sect and other Yan Guo sects with the threat of a real dragon.

At this time, Emperor Qian could only hide, and his own life was the most important thing.

Xie Wufeng originally wanted to announce this matter in the Tai Chi Hall, and he also prepared to kill a few disobedient "loyal officials", but he didn't expect the emperor to retreat so simply and completely.

"Since Emperor Qian is ill, you should discuss with Mu Ziyue about the political affairs. Everything is based on destroying Yan."

After speaking, Xie Wufeng didn't stay any longer, he leapt forward and disappeared above everyone's heads in an instant.

"Congratulations Mu Zaifu!"

"Congratulations Mu Zaifu!"

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations!!"

Those young officials congratulated Mu Ziyue one by one, and Mu Ziyue also returned the salute one by one.

Until the end, there were only a few ministers and servants left, and they were all loyal ministers who had been carefully cultivated by Emperor Qian for more than ten years.

But he still stepped forward and slightly bowed his hands to Mu Ziyue, "Mu Zaifu!"

"Don't dare, dare not, you are the pillars of the court. Mu still wants to ask you a lot."

Mu Ziyue also knew the etiquette and returned the salute to the ministers one by one.

Until the Minister of the Ministry of War, seeing the gloomy face of the other party, Mu Ziyue just coughed lightly, "Master Shangshu is alright?"

"The old man is fine, thank you."

Shangshu of the Ministry of War stuck the word "Mu Zaifu" in his throat, looking at Mu Ziyue, who was his subordinate in the past and will become his superior in the future, he didn't know how to face it for a while.

Having been in charge of the other party for more than ten years, now that he has gained power, he even climbs up on his own head to point fingers.

"My colleagues from the household department, please move to the political affairs hall."

Just as the ministers of various ministries were about to leave the square in front of the imperial court, Mu Ziyue called a group of officials from the household department to stop.

The Zhengshitang is the place where the ministers of the various ministries outside the imperial dynasty handle the affairs of the various ministries. Next to it are the government offices of the various ministries, all of which are on the other side of the white jade arch bridge.

"I don't know if Mu Zaifu has anything to arrange? I still have to deal with the resettlement of the disaster victims in Kyoto. If it's not something urgent, please."

"Disaster victims?" Mu Ziyue heard the teasing meaning in the mouth of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, snorted coldly, and raised his voice a little, and said loudly towards the many courtiers who had not gone far.

"Everyone knows why there are disaster victims in Kyoto. How to deal with it is in charge of the Kyoto government. The most urgent task of the household department is to make sure that the southward imperial army and the princes come to Beijing with all the money and food."

Everyone could still understand the first half of Mu Ziyue's sentence.Ordinary people don't know the cause of the fire in Kyoto. How could officials who regularly attend the Great Court Meeting not know?

But what Mu Ziyue meant in the second half of the sentence, the officials present couldn't understand for a while.

In fact, Mu Ziyue also received a message from Lu Zhongliang last night that the Nanzhou army had already set off and would arrive in Longyaozhou soon.

It will take a few days to arrive in Kyoto, and perhaps go north to confront the hundreds of thousands of troops from Beizhou.
