Chapter 16

Chengtian Temple.

Chengtian Hall is the main hall of the Great Zhou Palace.

The majesty of the palace and the grandeur of the momentum are the most among all the palaces.

According to the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Small Dynasty will be held once every two days, and the Great Dynasty will be held once every [-] days.

Today's court meeting is a big court meeting once every half a month.

The court meeting time is also from morning to night, and sometimes the ministers cannot disperse the court even late at night because of disagreements.

This is the situation above the court at this time.

The courtiers of the major factions quarreled fiercely because of their different political opinions.

Wei Que, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, trotted into the palace, came to Emperor Tianfu and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Princess Changning's squadron has returned to the court, and the army has reached fifty miles away from the Jingjiang River."

Emperor Tianfu, who was originally very impatient because of the disputes among his officials, was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Okay! My Changning is finally willing to come back."

The officials who were arguing at first fell silent when they heard the word Chang Ning.

"Pass down my will and reward Changning's army. And order Changning to return to the palace immediately!"

Emperor Tianfu has many children, and there are more than 30 princes and princesses under his knees.

And Princess Changning is the youngest among them, and she is also the most favored by Emperor Tianfu.

Princess Changning typically doesn't like red clothes and prefers armed forces. Under the favor of Emperor Tianfu, she has been a little overlord in the palace since she was a child.

Noble concubines, princes, eunuchs and court ladies are not afraid of her.

Later, as he grew older, he began to worship Duke Zhen.He forced Emperor Tianfu to let Zhen Guogong accept her as a disciple, and he would also go to the battlefield to fight in the future.

Princess Changning practiced very hard and was very interested in it.

Under the careful training of Lord Zhen Guo, his cultivation has soared all the way, and he has reached the seventh-rank realm.

At the same time, her military talent amazed Duke Zhen even more, and she learned [-]% or [-]% of her battlefield killing skills in less than ten years.

After she turned 16, Princess Changning couldn't sit still and begged Emperor Tianfu to let her guard the frontier.

Even if Emperor Tianfu loves Princess Changning again, he will not mess around with important matters in the frontier.

In the end, I really couldn't bear Princess Changning's stubbornness, so I had to let her enter the army as an ordinary soldier, and she was not allowed to expose herself, lest she use her status as a princess to mess around in the frontier.

For the safety of Princess Changning, Emperor Tianfu also dispatched many masters to secretly protect her.

However, something happened that made everyone's eyes drop.

Princess Changning learned the skills of Lord Zhen Guo, combined with her own talent, and formed her own set of military tactics through mastery.

In just seven years, he grew from an ordinary soldier to the deputy general of the town's general by virtue of his military exploits!

So Emperor Tianfu made an exception and let the woman be the general, and asked her to form a Changning army of 10 horses.

The court was shaken, and there were also various voices from the people.All the ministers and the common people objected.There are even many Confucian scholars who accused Emperor Tianfu of being self-willed.

This incident caused a lot of controversy at that time.

Fortunately, Princess Changning has real materials, and has taken the initiative to lead the army to fight against the barbarians on the grassland many times and has won many battles!
The Changning Army crossed the grasslands, and the barbarians on the grasslands did not dare to go south.

Her reputation also spread throughout the government and the public, earning a lot of face for Emperor Tianfu.

"Your Majesty, Li Qing, the champion of the new division, is outside the hall at this time." Wei Que, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said.

"Is the horse parade over?" The most beloved daughter came back, Emperor Tianfu was in a very good mood, and even his face that had been stern before was filled with an unconcealable smile.

"How did the people of Shengjing react?"

Wei Que replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, the people of Shengjing were extremely shocked by His Majesty's gift of the No.

"Oh? Read it and listen."

"Yes!" Wei Que straightened his body and said: "It was not enough to boast about the filth in the past, but now there is no limit to the debauchery. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the blooming flowers in one day."

When reading this poem, Wei Que cadenced, full of affection, and tried his best to reduce the bad influence of his eunuch's voice on the poem.

"Good poem!" Emperor Tianfu was overjoyed after listening to it.

He bestowed Li Qing with a dragon-scaled horse, golden sui belt, and Tongming jade, on the one hand, it was indeed out of admiration for Li Qing, and he wanted to reuse him.

But the main reason is to win over the hearts of poor scholars from all over the world.

Now that the court is controlled by the aristocratic family, the humble scholars have long lost hope.

And Li Qing, as a scholar from a poor family, will become a role model for scholars from a poor family.

The various rewards given by Emperor Tianfu to Li Qing sent out a signal that as long as there is talent, even poor families can be reused.Give the poor family a great hope.

What Li Qing did after parading his horse through the streets was a great encouragement and encouragement to the humble scholars.Exceeding the standard fulfilled the expectations and goals in Emperor Tianfu's heart.

Princess Changning returned to the court, and the goal of winning over the poor was also perfectly achieved. Emperor Tianfu came to the door with double happiness, sitting on the dragon chair and laughing heartily.

The officials in the audience, different from Emperor Tianfu's reaction, all of them changed their faces drastically.

The family battles are already fierce enough, no one wants to see another power from a poor family in the court in the future.

And this power, without any background to rely on, can only rely on Emperor Tianfu.

What this means, these old foxes who have lived in the officialdom for a long time, are very clear in their hearts.

"Xuan Liqing enters the palace!"

Tianfu Emperor's voice fell, and his oral instructions were conveyed immediately.

Outside Chengtian Hall, Li Qing straightened his clothes, walked forward, and slowly walked into the power center of the Great Zhou Empire.

"See Your Majesty!"

Under the gazing and sizing of the officials, Li Qing walked to the center of the court hall and bowed to Emperor Tianfu in salute.

Kneeling is not popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is only performed on some extremely important occasions, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, the death of the emperor, and the enthronement of the new emperor.

On ordinary occasions, just bow to each other.

Of course, eunuchs, court ladies, servants and the like are not included.

"The number one scholar is flat." Emperor Tianfu was more and more satisfied with Li Qing.He was born in a poor family, but also possesses a great talent.The key is that after he was admitted to the imperial examination, he won over and inspired countless humble scholars for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Li Qing got up, Emperor Tianfu said: "The champion of the new department, according to the Dazhou system, you should be granted the title of writing for the Imperial Academy yesterday. Because of your palace examination strategy, I have other arrangements for you."

Under the curious gazes of all civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Tianfu's eyes shone brightly, and a majestic imperial pressure surged, sweeping the entire Chengtian Palace.

"Among hundreds of officials, it happens from time to time to attack their colleagues because of disagreement with their political views. There are even some officials who use their power to oppress the people and become corrupt. My royal driver risked his life to avenge his injustice.

Every time I think about it, it hurts so much.

I want to set up an investigation factory in Donghuamen, it is Dongchang.

In addition to the six independent departments of Dongchang, they listened to the injustice and lawlessness of officials in the big and small yamen in Shengjing.Supervise and arrest subjects without the approval of the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple. "

After Emperor Tianfu finished speaking, all civil and military officials turned pale with shock.

This is an institution that supervises all officials and is only responsible to the emperor.

It would be unimaginable for such a department to fall into the hands of political opponents.

Of course, if one's own faction takes over the East Factory, it will almost mean that it will cover the sky with one hand above the court.

"Your Majesty, the power of the East Factory is too great. If it falls into the hands of someone with good intentions, the court will definitely be shaken, and the officials will be terrified! I think that the East Factory must not be established."

"Your Majesty Yang's words are justified. Once Dongchang grows bigger, it will cover up the sky with one hand, and even deceive the saints. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"My minister agrees!"

"I think that the establishment of Dongchang by Your Majesty will serve as a deterrent to all civil and military officials. It will eradicate treacherous ministers for our Great Zhou, so that officials all over the world will not dare to corrupt and dereliction of duty."

"Your Majesty is wise! The establishment of the East Factory is urgent. Only a person with high morals and integrity can take on this important task. I believe that this person must be Mr. Yang Yingyang."

"I think Master Zhu Jiuyuan is more suitable."

All of a sudden, the officials began to argue again.

Some people are afraid that Dongchang has too much power, which is not good for them.

Some people think that this is an opportunity to eradicate other factions and dominate the Chaotang family.

In order to elect the leaders of their respective factions, the ministers fought hard.

"Noisy!"

Emperor Tianfu shouted angrily, and Chengtian Hall finally fell silent.

"Wei Que accepts the order!"

The head eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was waiting on the side was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"I order you to be the supervisor of the East Factory. From now on, select suitable personnel from the eunuchs in the palace to form the East Factory."

"Your Majesty has received the decree, thanking His Majesty for your grace!"

Chengtian Hall, which was originally quiet, was suddenly in an uproar.
