Chapter 292 The Emperor's Compromise

After everyone got up and sat down, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the emperor.

Looking up at the king is one of the great disrespects.

Most of the tributes present at this time were meeting the emperor for the first time, and even if some of them became officials, it is very likely that they would not see the emperor a few times in their life. He looked up at the king in front of him, but he looked left and right, and he could already see some of the same year, whose calves were trembling uncontrollably.

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at these tributes who were about to become disciples of the Son of Heaven, and felt a little happy, but after a short while, he thought of the battle on the front line, and he was in a bad mood.

But the process still has to go.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent, everyone was waiting for his big boss to speak.

The little emperor was silent for a while, although he was not in a good mood, but there was still a smile on his face, and he said: "The people who can sit in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today are outstanding talents who have stood out from countless scholars, and they are all great talents. The future pillars of Chen, I am very happy to see you."

"Today, you express your talents to the fullest. In the future, I will still be here in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, passing on the information for you."

The so-called Chuanlu has two meanings.

The first meaning is ranking, Erjia No.1 is called Chuanlu.

The second meaning refers to the golden hall roll call, which is roughly equivalent to the commendation meeting, which is also held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Hearing the words, all the tributes bowed down again to thank the emperor for his kindness.

The emperor waved his hand lightly: "Okay, let's unwind the scroll."

The chief eunuch, Gao Ming, went down immediately and announced that the examination papers were scattered, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites immediately finished and distributed the examination papers one by one.

The questions in the palace examination are very complicated, especially only one or two current affairs policies are asked. Compared with the main examination, there are only about [-]% of the questions in the eighth section of the general examination, so the time will be too long.

There are eight general examinations, and the first and last four days, while the palace examination is only one day.

Before the test papers were distributed, the emperor yawned and stood up from his chair, then looked at the prime ministers sitting on the bottom, and said indifferently: "Ministers, I have nothing to discuss with them, let's go Let's go to the front hall."

Throughout the day, the emperor and the prime minister may be "invigilating" the exam there. In fact, there is no official in charge of the palace exam. The emperor and the prime minister are just here to go through the motions. less line.

Before hearing the words of the great emperor, several prime ministers got up one after another, and came to the front hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony together. Outside a study room in the front hall, before meeting the emperor, they sat down according to the ranks of the secretaries.

The great emperor is wearing the emperor's dress today, but ordinary clothes, which are a little less cumbersome. I sat under the chair, looked at Wang Dan, the prime minister who is currently in charge of Zhongshu, and said with high eyebrows: "The news from the back line , you should already know.”

Yesterday, the battle report was sent from the rear. The first part of the Huaihe Navy was in contact with the Northern Qi Vanguard Battalion. The two sides started the first battle. According to the number reported by the Huaihe Navy in that battle, the Huaihe Navy killed more than [-] people and were seriously injured. There are no less than a hundred people together.

And the casualties of the Qi people should be less than a hundred people.

At that time, there were no internal guards in the back line, and the Huaihe Navy dared to conceal the report. Judging from the numbers in the battle report, the Huaihe Navy suffered a big loss in that contact battle.

Originally, such a small matter was discussed under the table by the emperor and several prime ministers.

However, along with the battle report, there is still some information about the Qi people. According to the Qi people's information, the number of troops that the Northern Qi mobilized to the border between the two countries has no less than 7 people.

That was just the beginning of the war.

If one is good, it may evolve into a small-scale legion-level war with less than 10 people.

But in fact, since Xiao Chen's army was defeated in Lianghuai more than ten years later, there have been no small-scale wars between the two countries, and even if there were no small-scale wars, it was only a large-scale conflict.

The emperor rubbed his aching head, raised his eyebrows and said: "The Secretary of the Communist Party of China said yesterday that we would go back to discuss it, but do we know if there is anything that can be discussed today?"

Prime Minister Wang Dan sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, I discussed yesterday that the Huaihe navy and the Northern Qi were in the first battle, and the casualties of the Northern Qi were unknown. We may not be defeated. It was because the people of Qi made a big move. It's a big surprise, what I mean is to send envoys to the capital of Yan to meet Emperor Qi face to face, and to discuss with the people of Qi vaguely..."

The Great Emperor raised his brows and asked, "Seek peace?"

"It is a peace request."

Wang Dan quickly shook his head and said: "The people of Qi made trouble that time, it was clearly because of our princess, what I mean is that if we insist on fighting with the people of Qi, you, Xiao Chen, are afraid of it." left us..."

The great emperor was silent for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said: "Princess Qiren, before I get married, I will take you back to the palace as my concubine."

That was a compromise the Great Emperor was forced to make.

That time when the Qi people went south, the reason they used was that Nan Chen was polite to our princess.

Before knowing about the small-scale actions of the Qi people, Sun Taiqian of the front palace also put some pressure on the emperor, which caused the emperor to make some compromises under that matter.

I took a deep breath and said, "Who are you going to send as an envoy to Northern Qi?"

Wang Dan replied firmly: "Your Majesty, Pei Yuan is suitable to be an envoy!"

Pei Yuan, who later served as the Minister of Rites, was in charge of the Department of Hosts and Customers when he was in the Ministry of Rites, that is, the boss of the internal affairs department.

Because I offended the emperor when I was arguing for Shen Yi, I was dismissed from the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites and demoted to the Imperial College as a sacrificial wine.

Xiao Chen's Guozi Jijiu is only at the seventh rank. Compared with the official eighth rank of the waiter, it can be said that he has fallen from the clouds.

The emperor was restless at that time, and he didn't want to choose officials by himself. Before I was silent for a while, I knocked on the table with my hand and said, "That's the way to do it, but I want to say hello to all the ministers!"

I said in a deep voice: "Going on an envoy is an envoy, so you will lose the dignity of the imperial court and the face of Zhen!"

"Otherwise, that person Pei Yuan will be mine!"

As I spoke, I glanced at the old men, and the threat in my tone was self-evident.

It means that if Pei Yuan is to be convicted, those old men will also be held accountable!

Several prime ministers nodded to the emperor, saying yes respectfully.

Although several prime ministers are agreeing with the emperor, everyone can feel that the emperor is no longer soft.

Because Pei Yuan...

He is a student of Yang Jingzong, a proper Turtle School.

Prime Minister Wang Dan saw that the emperor's face was full of joy, he stood up firmly, and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that we should not send envoys to the Northern Qi Dynasty, but at the same time fight better on the battlefield. In the name of the Ministry of Education, I sent a message to General Zhao Xiao in the back line, telling me to fight a victory to cheer up the hearts of the people..."

It is hard to say the word victory or defeat on the battlefield, the general can fight as long as he wants to win the battle.

But if it is necessary to win a battle, it is also possible.

For example, if you move away from a small force and attack a large enemy stronghold, you will almost certainly win.

It may be worth the loss.

The Great Emperor shook his eyebrows, stood up silently from his chair, and breathed out a breath of foul air: "Your Excellency can handle the matter of Zhongshu Province as you see fit."

Having said that, the Great Emperor stood up and left with his hands behind his back.

Before walking out of the study room, the Great Emperor said in a irritated manner, "Gao Ming."

The eunuch lowered his head immediately: "The servant is here."

"People's hearts can be destroyed, and morale can be destroyed."

I said in a deep voice: "When Shen Yi finishes the imperial examination, give me the battle report and let me write a beautiful palace report..."
