The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 25 Fighting for Military Power in the North
The imperial palace, countless ministers outside the Hall of All Saints are waiting for you, and there is a guard at every step, which is very solemn.

It has been two hours since the court time, and the gate of the Hall of All Saints is still not open.The strong sun had already risen to the sky at this moment, and all the ministers were already dripping with sweat.

But he still pretended to suppress the anger in his heart, waiting for the generation of emperors in the hall of all saints at any time.

"King Xi is here!" It was a servant at the door who shouted, and all the ministers turned their heads.

In the direction of looking, a purple dress came slowly.

"Bah! You really think of yourself as the emperor, and make such a show!" Prime Minister Gu Yanqing showed displeasure.

Zi Lixuan came over and said: "Master Gu, nowadays, a mere servant dares to praise King Xi in front of so many ministers. Now, bear it if you can."

There is something in Zi Lixuan's words, Gu Yanqing has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is also a veteran of the previous dynasty, so he can understand it at a single point.

He looked at Zi Lixuan meaningfully, with a kind face on his face: "Now that the eighth prince is missing, it is up to you, the second prince, to restore the government and the public!"

King Xi is ambitious, and everyone knows it.

Zi Lixuan just smiled knowingly.

Now that the court situation is unstable, there are very few ministers who are upright, honest and outspoken like Prime Minister Gu.

When Zi Zeyun came, many people went up to say good things and build relationships.

"Prince Xi, it's rare for the ruling and opposition parties to come to discuss something important?"

The second prince looked for the person who spoke, and found that it was the highest official in charge of the military, Taiwei Yu Chehuai.It's a pity that people are not as good as their name, no clarity, no Huaiyuan, it is really a big turbid current of the court.

But the door of the palace opened slowly at the moment King Xi appeared.

All the ministers are listed one by one.

Zi Zeyun always showed arrogance, looked at the world with contempt, and said: "Master Taiwei is joking, this king is only here to listen to the government, to help the emperor's brother share his worries, there is nothing wrong with it."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the All Saints' Hall.

"Long live my emperor!"

All the ministers kowtowed, but Zi Zeyun, as always, neither bowed nor knelt.

"Everyone's family is flat." Zi Zechuan was tall and his voice was firm. Although he was old, he didn't look old in the slightest, except for the wisp of beard, which represented the traces of the years.

His eyes are sharp, and his whole body exudes the aura of a king. At first glance, he is not a weak person.

Indeed, he is a ruthless character, but he is always on guard against another king.A person who wants to move but dare not move!

As soon as the ministers got up, before anyone stood up to speak, Zi Zechuan said again: "All the ministers have something to say, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you!"

Prime Minister Gu stood up.

He said again: "Prince Xi does not wear court clothes, according to the laws of our dynasty, even the prince should be punished!"

Zi Zeyun didn't stand up to identify it.

Zi Zechuan said, "Gu Aiqing, according to the laws of our dynasty, if I take off this dragon robe, wouldn't I have to be punished?"

When Gu Yanqing heard this, he immediately knelt down: "The emperor forgives the crime, and I don't mean to offend."

The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Although there is such a saying, no one in the court dares to punish the emperor.

In the face of Zi Zeyun, a docile but ferocious tiger, Zi Zechuan's ability to sit on the throne to this day is not all because of sitting still and waiting for death.

The grass on the wall falls on both sides when the wind blows.When there is no winner or loser, the ministers in the court should be vacillating, and they can only take chances at critical moments. No matter who wins or loses, in their view, it is just a royal battle, as long as this country is still under the Zi family, it has nothing to do Self-interest.

"In that case, retreat!" Zi Zechuan said.

"Brother Huang, don't rush away." As soon as Zi Zeyun opened his mouth, the people in the court fell silent, and the sound of breathing gradually became weaker.

Facing Zi Zeyun, the emperor's tone became more peaceful: "What else is there for King Xi?"

"Brother Huang, the battle on the northern frontier has been dominated by Lord Taiwei before, and it is peaceful for one side. Now it is in the hands of the second prince, but it is still fighting again and again. In my opinion, it is better to return the sovereignty to Lord Taiwei. Fortunately, the Liming people in the frontier are peaceful, lest outsiders think that the position of the Taiwei is just a cover."

This is what he said in his words to "share worries" for the emperor's brother. It is really nothing but a plot.

As soon as Zi Zeyun finished speaking, Yu Chehuai hurriedly stood up: "What King Xi said is very reasonable. Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to keep the border peaceful and restore peace to our Jiuyue Kingdom."

The second prince did not argue.

Why is it that there was no war when Yu Che was in charge of power?It was just passing the beacon fire that had just started to ignited into his hands. Once the fire was ignited, it would only grow stronger and stronger.

However, Prime Minister Gu gave Yu Chehuai a cold look, and stood up: "Your Majesty, you must not! The frontier wars have been offended for many years, and they are nothing more than some barbaric tribes who don't know the imperial power. They don't give benefits. You barbarians, how can you say Stop and stop! If you can't stop it, you'll just let it grow, and let the other prosperous countries think about it! Since the second prince took charge of the northern military, he has won successive victories, and everyone is very happy. This northern military power cannot be handed over!"

"Prime Minister Gu, why do you think there are constant wars in the north?" Zi Zeyun asked.

"The barbarian tribe is nothing more than fighting for more land!" Gu Yanqing is probably the only person in the court who dares to speak directly to King Xi.

Zi Zeyun stopped talking, not because he couldn't speak, but because he gave Yu Che a chance.

Yu Chehuai was clever, and quickly answered: "Prime Minister Gu, since you all know that this barbarian is trying to seize our country's territory, in that case, I will take the northern part in one fell swoop, and flatten the river!"

"What a flat river! The tone is not small. If the second prince hadn't worked so hard to manage the war in the north for many years, how could you boast such a big mouth!" On the court, Gu Yanqing reasoned, and every sentence was true.

As a result, many people under the court spoke on Gu Chengxiang's side.
