Chapter 163 Crested Staff

When the old lady, master, father and son arrived at the imperial study room, it was already full of acquaintances.

The two took a quick look.

Almost all the officials above the second rank in the imperial capital arrived.

It happened suddenly.Even in front of Emperor Changxing, many people couldn't help but wink at each other and exchanged opinions with each other in private.

"See Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for coming late." The old lady bowed and led her son to apologize.

Not knowing whether it was excitement or anger, Emperor Changxing's face turned red.

He waved his hands in a pleasant manner: "It's okay to be a grand master or a young master, and the family of all the gentlemen has just arrived."

I've quit my job and am just a regular old man.

The old grand master moved his mouth, restrained not to say this, after thanking Emperor Changxing, he stepped back and stood still.

squeak!
With a soft bang, the door of the imperial study room opened again.

An old woman with gray hair, holding a crested staff and wearing a colorful phoenix robe strode in.

"See Your Royal Highness, Grand Princess and Elder Lord." The ministers all bent down to get out of the way.

Even Emperor Changxing stood up, "Aunt Huang, you are here. Changlu, give me your seat!"

It was Princess Yiguang.

Generally speaking, Yunchui's women are not allowed to go to court (positive).But because of her meritorious service in the war more than 40 years ago, although Princess Yiguang is a woman, she is also a super general. It is not surprising that she appeared in this imperial study at this time.

The old eunuch quickly moved a brocade chair and placed it on the lower right side of the dragon case.

"Thank you Your Majesty, my body is still strong for the time being, just stand up." Princess Yiguang hastily declined.

Emperor Changxing shook his head with a smile, "Of course you can sit, Aunt Huang."

At the beginning, he was just an ordinary prince who was not favored by anyone.In the end, the Duke of Zhen's government firmly stood by his side, and Emperor Changxing took the throne.

Princess Yiguang declined a few words and sat down happily.

Emperor Changxing sat back on the dragon chair again.

He rubbed his swollen forehead and ordered the door of the imperial study to be closed.

"Chang Lu, read this battle report that just came back from Nanfeng to all the nobles."

The old eunuch responded, picked up the battle report on the dragon case and carefully read it.

The ministers quickly found their positions and listened attentively.

The battle report was very long, and it took Chang Lu half an hour to finally read it, and the expressions of the ministers below changed again and again.

But also because the battle report was too long, I forgot the front when I heard the latter.

Emperor Changxing waved his hand, signaling Changlu to take down the battle report for the ministers to read carefully.

hum~
The ministers gathered together, and there was a lot of discussion in the imperial study room for a while.

Only two people did not move.

One of them is Mrs. Ren.He felt that he was already white, so he didn't go up to join in the fun.

The other is Princess Yiguang.She is the only woman in the imperial study, so she is not suitable to be crowded with the ministers.

After another half an hour, the ministers had already figured it out, so they folded the battle report neatly again, and asked Chang Lu to carefully place it in front of Princess Yiguang.

"My dear friends, what do you think of this battle report from the south?" Emperor Changxing asked.

Guan Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up with his face full of pain.

"Your Majesty, the small country of Nanfeng is so ambitious and insidious that it poisoned Yunchui wantonly, causing the tragic death of countless people. It's really a crime..."

Filled with righteous indignation, he scolded severely, and suggested that King Nanfeng should be tried publicly to avenge the blood and hatred of the people who died in vain in Yunzhong County.

While talking, Guan Yi glanced at Princess Yiguang who was checking the battle report.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle report, the people of Nanfeng have already spread the epidemic into the Yanfeng Fortress. The fortress is the magic needle for the western part of the empire, so it must not be lost."

"The epidemic is like a fire, and the dense population of the fortress is the most dangerous. The veteran thinks that we should immediately send someone to notify the general guarding the fortress, so that General Huo can prepare. At the same time, we should send doctors and medicinal materials to Dingxi County as soon as possible to avoid accidents in the fortress."

"Quite!" Emperor Changxing nodded without hesitation, his eyes fell on the head of the Minister of the Household Department, "Qian Liang?"

Qian Liang's scalp exploded, and he secretly groaned.

In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred frequently in the empire. Last year, there was a special birthday banquet for the empress dowager, and the money in the treasury was spent like running water.

Now the household department's pockets are almost empty.It was so embarrassing that the two princes, Chen Xiulan and Chen Xiuzhu, were named princes a while ago, and he couldn't afford the money to repair the new palace.I don't know how many people blew on his beard and stared at him.

Now I don't know where to get medicinal materials.

But the importance of the Yanfeng Fortress to the empire was well understood by everyone in the imperial study.This is not negotiable at all.

Furthermore, Princess Yiguang was sitting not far away.If he, Qian Liang, dared to object to saving someone else's husband.It is estimated that the crested staff beside the eldest princess will smash his head.

Qian Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say yes, struggling with his beard to figure out where to get the money and medicinal materials.

"Your Majesty," seeing that the matter was over, the Minister of Rites stood up calmly.

"The saints have said that there are two handles in governing the country, one is rewards, and the other is punishments. If rewards and punishments are not clear, everything will fail; if rewards and punishments are clear, all directions can be done."

"Wei Junqian of the Starfall Legion, Yuan Xingwen of Zhennanguan, Baihua, Xiyu, Canglan, and the captains of the four prefectures of Guangxin, without the permission of His Majesty and the Ministry of War, privately mobilized their troops to go abroad to fight. Although Nanfeng deserves to die, but Wei Junqian, Yuan Xingwen and others privately mobilize troops and horses, which is tantamount to rebellion."

"The old minister thought that he should immediately send troops to take Wei Yuan back to the imperial capital, and blame..."

call!
The wind sounded.

A crested staff whirled over and slammed on the head of the Minister of Rites who was caught off guard.

Fan Wen's head suddenly felt a big bag.

Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty," Princess Yiguang Shi Shiran stood up and bowed in salute, "Aunt's hands slipped and accidentally hit someone. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Although she apologized in her mouth, Princess Yiguang didn't have any intention of repentance in her eyes.

Last autumn, Yanfeng Fortress took the initiative to send troops to repel the Xiliang army that was about to advance eastward.After the news was sent back to the imperial capital, the old guy kept clamoring to recall the general fortress back to the imperial capital for accountability.

Fortunately, Princess Yiguang didn't enter the palace to discuss matters that time, otherwise this confused Minister of Rites would have been paralyzed.

Duke Zhen Guo spent half of his life stationed at Yanzhen Fortress, and Princess Yiguang naturally hoped that her husband would return to the imperial capital once in a while.But no matter how much she hoped, she didn't want her husband to return to Beijing as a criminal.

Emperor Changxing wiped his sweat, "Auntie is serious. Fan Shangshu accidentally touched your walking stick. Quickly check if it is damaged?"

Chang Lu cleverly ran over to pick up the crested stick, and respectfully returned it to the eldest princess who was still angry.

Princess Yiguang took it and looked around coldly.

The civil servants nearby couldn't help shrinking their necks.

Good men do not fight with women.

They whispered in their hearts one by one.

Otherwise, it would be in vain to be hit by that crested staff.

The generals couldn't help but straighten their backs.

For a while, the imperial study room was silent.

"Return to Your Majesty, the eldest princess's phoenix stick is intact." The old eunuch forced himself to hold back these words.

Princess Yiguang took a look at him, seeing Chang Lu until she was in a cold sweat, and then sat down again.

The comatose Ribu Shangshu was quickly moved out for treatment.

No one said anything about the arrest of Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen to return to Beijing, and they discussed how to try King Nanfeng.
