marquis of jingan

Chapter 177

The next day, there will be a court meeting in Deqing Palace.

The Grand Court Meeting is held once every ten days, and it is the largest court meeting in the imperial court. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must participate in the court meeting.

However, the Great Court Conference is said to be for discussion, but in fact the Grand Court Conference is more about announcing decisions, or a place where officials fight politically. Instead, the meeting that really decides the affairs of the court is the Zhongshu Provincial Conference Hall, or in the emperor's small study.

But today's court meeting was still going on as usual. Accompanied by the eunuch Gao, the little emperor sat carelessly on the emperor's throne, and all the officials bowed down and shouted long live.

His Majesty the Emperor has long been used to this kind of scene, he waved his hand calmly, and said, "Get flat."

All the civil and military officials stood up, the little emperor looked calm and stopped talking, the high eunuch at the side took a step forward and faced all the civil and military officials, with a long voice: "All ministers, I have a book to play."

This is a routine procedure. After Gao Ming yelled, the civil and military officials below began to play the book, many of which were already settled before, and the play was only for the purpose of announcement.

The little emperor was already very familiar with handling these matters, and quickly finished processing these memorials. Then, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the several ministers standing on the left, and said slowly: "Do all the prime ministers have the memorials?"

Several prime ministers looked at the gray-haired prime minister Yang Jingzong in unison. Yang Xiangguo stepped forward silently, bowed his head to the emperor and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."

The emperor nodded, and said lightly: "So, the ministers have finished their work."

He glanced at all civil and military officials, and said indifferently: "Your Excellencies have finished their work, but I have one matter that I want to discuss with you."

Hearing the emperor's words, several prime ministers showed expressions of thought.

Because these prime ministers are in charge of the government, except for the things handed over by the inner guard, theoretically speaking, these prime ministers should have read all the documents, but what the emperor wants to say today, except for the prime minister Zhang Jing, the other prime ministers The prime minister didn't know.

His Majesty the Emperor, he didn't even communicate with them in advance.

Even the only prime minister who knew about it, Zhang Jing, didn't reveal a word.

There are five prime ministers in Zhongshu at this time, except for the prime minister Zhang Jing, the other three prime ministers are all looking at Yang Jingzong thoughtfully, while Yang Lao Xiangguo is looking at his nose, nose and heart, standing where he is like sleeping. It's normal, motionless.

The little emperor glanced around at the ministers, and then continued: "Half a month ago, a scholar from Jiangdu Mansion ran into the Princess of Northern Qi in Dongshi Street. I have already investigated this matter with Jiankang Mansion. Both parties had their faults, but the first two The Japanese and Northern Qi sent envoys to see me and demanded that this Jiangdu scholar be punished severely, otherwise he might have a bad relationship with me, Da Chen."

His Majesty the Emperor said the matter very briefly, then looked around at the ministers, and said, "It's not a big deal for a Jiangdu scholar, but I'm quite annoyed that the people of Qi are coercing me and bowing to me, but it involves two things. In the country, I will not be able to make a decision for a while, so just taking advantage of this great court meeting, I would like to ask the opinions of all the ministers and workers."

After saying this, His Majesty the Emperor stopped talking.

If the emperor does not speak, the ministers should speak.

As the head of civil servants, Yang Jingzong, Old Xiangguo Yang, should naturally be the first to speak. This old Xiangguo opened his eyes, first glanced at Zhang Jing, his second chancellor who had been with him for many years, then sighed, and spoke silently. Ban, came to the emperor, bowed his head to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, in just a few words, the ministers know very little about this matter, why not..."

The old Xianggong looked at the Prince Jin who was standing aside, then looked at the emperor, bowed his head and said: "After the court is over, please invite the Prince Jin to come to Zhongshu, and the old minister will call the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come to Zhongshu Province to listen to what the Prince Jin said. After understanding the situation, I will write to His Majesty again."

The little emperor did not expect to decide this matter at the Great Court Meeting. The reason why he mentioned this matter at the Great Court Meeting was only to pave the way for future events. It can only be a personnel change at the top level, that is, the prime minister or the Da Jiuqing level, and it is impossible to involve the middle and grassroots.

Therefore, the emperor did not need the opinions of those fifth-rank officials present. After hearing what Yang Jingzong said, the little emperor smiled and said: "Mr.

He looked at King Jin, and said, "Just trouble Uncle Jin, I will go to Zhongshu Province after the imperial court is over."

After saying this, His Majesty the Emperor was about to wave his hand to announce the disbandment of the imperial court. Zhao Changping, the household servant standing on the left, left his shift silently. Regarding this matter, I would like to ask Your Majesty, King Jin, is this Jiangdu scholar named Shen?"

The little emperor glanced at Zhao Changping with great interest, but did not answer.

Prince Jin also took a look at Zhao Changping, and replied flatly, "The surname is Shen."

Zhao Shilang took a deep breath, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this Jiangdu scholar should be a descendant of my minister. I request an order to go to Zhongshu Province to discuss matters. If my descendant really offends Princess Beiqi, I must strictly uphold the laws of the country and never spare him!"

A smile appeared on the little emperor's face.

He waved his hand: "Since the parents are here, it will be easier. Zhao Qing will also go to Zhongshu to discuss a charter with Yang Peng."

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was very curious.

Because he knew that Zhao Changping was very cautious, and he almost never participated in or interfered in court battles on weekdays. Today, he took the initiative to get involved in something that had nothing to do with him!

The reason why the emperor was a little confused was because he got up too early today and didn't have time to read the information sent by the inner guard to the palace last night.

If he read it, he would know that the person involved, Shen Yi, stayed at Zhao Shilang's residence for nearly an hour last night.

After agreeing to Zhao Changping's involvement, the emperor looked at Yang Jingzong and said indifferently: "Mr. Yang, the people of Qi are pressing hard. This matter will be discussed before tomorrow night at the latest, and how to deal with it at that time. "

Old Xiangguo Yang bowed his head respectfully: "Your servant will obey your orders!"

The little emperor stood up, stretched himself, and waved to Gao Ming.

Eunuch Gao understood, stepped forward again, and sang "San Chao".

All civil and military officials left Deqing hall according to shifts.

When all the officials slowly dispersed, Yang Jingzong, who looked a little old and faint, grabbed Prime Minister Zhang Jing who was also about to leave. Old Xiangguo Yang looked at Zhang Jing and sighed slightly: "Old man, the day before yesterday was You accompany His Majesty to see everyone, except for this matter, why didn't you communicate with your colleagues beforehand?"

Yang Jingzong's words obviously wanted to push some responsibility on Zhang Jing, and Zhang Xiang had been worshiping the prime minister for many years, and his seniority in the council hall was no less than that of Yang Jingzong. I just thought it was a trivial matter, how could I have thought that His Majesty would bring it up at the court meeting? Besides..."

This Zhang Xiang looked at Yang Jingzong, and said with a smile: "At that time, Yang Xiang's disciple, Pei Yuanpei from the Ministry of Rites, was also present. Even if the old man didn't say anything, Yang Xiang should know the situation that day."

Yang Jingzong glanced thoughtfully at Pei Shilang who was not far away, and shook his head slightly: "He didn't say anything either."

Zhang Xiang laughed and said, "That's why Pei Shilang thinks this matter is irrelevant."

He pulled Yang Jingzong's sleeve and said with a smile: "You don't have to think too much, Your Majesty wants us to discuss something. Let's reach a conclusion as soon as possible. It's not a big deal."

Old Xiangguo Yang nodded, and said slowly: "Then call the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then invite Prince Jin to go to Zhongshu to discuss matters."

After saying this, old man Yang looked at Zhao Changping, who was waiting not far away from the household department, he raised his eyelids, and said slowly: "By the way, there is also the God of Wealth, who also invites you to Zhongshu Let's go, let's finish the discussion early, so as to relieve your father's worries..."

　Many readers in the book review area said that I didn’t write anything, I don’t understand, why I didn’t write anything, I basically skipped the parts that I can jump... The plot is not slow, how should I write it? Hurry up... well, my state of mind...
