Chapter 740 Great Emperor and Little Emperor

Shen Yi has been back to Jiankang Elementary School for half a year, counting the period of Chinese New Year, he has been out of the government office affairs, in fact, it has been half a year.

In half a year, people's minds changed.

Ling Su and Xue Wei, although Shen Yi has been kind to them, but after a long time, it is not surprising that they have their own thoughts.

It's just that relatively speaking, Xue Wei is more simple, and he is still Shen Yi's loyal little fan.

However, because there is no strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, how long can this kind of loyalty be maintained.
Hard to say.

Of course, Shen Yi worked so hard to get the capital, he couldn't just let it go, under the emperor's sight, he let go easily and simply, but in fact, the economic lifeline of the capital's yamen was still in Shen Yi's hands.

This is a hidden line, not to mention whether the emperor found it, even if he found it, he would not say anything.

After all, Master Shen has worked hard for two and a half years, and it is human nature to leave a little foundation for himself.

The next day is the day of the Dachaohui.

Originally, every court meeting was a test for Mr. Shen who didn't want to get up early, but this time, Mr. Shen got up early in the morning and got up from bed before dawn.

This time, even Lu Ruoxi hadn't woken up yet.

After hearing the sound of her husband getting up, she got up from the bed, helped Shen Yi put on some cumbersome official uniform, and yawned as she put it on, asking: "In the past, the husband didn't want to get up at the court meeting, why did you get up so early today?" ?”

Due to overwork last night, Master Shen also had two dark circles under his eyes at the moment, he yawned and said with a smile, "Today is different from the past."

"It's exciting to watch today."

Today is the first court meeting after Yu Shitai participated in Yang Xiang. If the previous track develops, there will still be Yu Shi and even some senior officials at this time. Let Yang Jingzong escape in the court.

However, after the emergency treatment of the emperor and Shen Yi in the past few days, whether someone will impeach Old Man Yang at today's court meeting has become a suspense.

Lu Ruoxi helped Shen Yi tidy up his collar, and then asked: "At the Great Court Meeting, what excitement can there be?"

"There's a lot of fun to watch today."

Master Shen smiled, and said: "I heard that the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty also arrived two days ago, and they should also meet His Majesty at this court meeting."

"The envoy of Northern Qi."

After Lu Ruoxi tidied up her clothes, she said softly, "Don't they come every spring?"

Seven years after Hongde, envoys from Northern Qi did come every spring.

Lu Ruoxi has also lived in Jiankang for several years. As the imperial wife, when she is free on weekdays, she will have some contacts with some wives from other houses, such as the Zhao family.

Therefore, even she knew what happened to the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty every year.

"This time, maybe something is different."

Master Shen yawned big, and said, "Okay, I'll go eat something first, today's court meeting is very long, so I won't be overwhelmed later."

"Husband, wait."

Lu Ruoxi rummaged through the box for a while, found a box of ginseng slices, took out three or four slices from it, put them in Shen Yi's hand, and said: "This is what Zhang's sister-in-law sent last time. Take it with you when you are tired, and take a piece when you are tired, it can replenish your vitality."

"it is good"

Master Shen took the ginseng slices with him, went out to have breakfast, and then went up in the carriage.

This time, when he arrived at the gate of Deqing Palace, the sky was still gray and not fully lit.

But Master Shen didn't come too early, after a while, when the first ray of sun shone on the sundial at the gate of Deqing Palace, with the sound of a drum, the gate of Deqing Palace opened slowly.

Shen Yi, who was chatting with Zhang Jian, quickly returned to the team of the Ministry of War, and walked to Deqing Hall together.

After entering the main hall, all civil and military officials stood in their positions, and following the high eunuch's singing, His Majesty the Emperor arrived, and everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting long live.

Sitting on the throne, the emperor glanced at the officials kneeling in front of him, and then waved his hands lightly: "Everyone, please be flat."

Everyone stood up and thanked each other.

After everyone stood up, the emperor habitually reached out and knocked on the chairs, and looked at everyone: "Today's court, according to the usual practice, is there any important matter to be presented by each yamen, or is there any matter to be discussed?"

Deqing Hall was silent.

The emperor glanced at the five old men in Zhongshu standing in the first row of civil servants, and asked, "Five prime ministers, what do you have to say?"

In fact, the Great Court Assembly is not a place for discussing matters, but more for announcing the resolutions of the court.

What happened to the five prime ministers on weekdays, after discussing the results, they were actually sent to the emperor long ago.

Today, when the emperor asked this question at the court meeting, he was actually asking them if they wanted to speak out for the old Xiangguo Yang Jingzong.

The five prime ministers were silent.

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Cui Yu and asked with a smile, "Mr. Cui is okay today?"

Cui Yulian stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister is fine."

"Well."

The emperor looked at the rest of the yamen, and asked again: "Yushitai, is there something to do with the Six Departments?"

Although he mentioned six parts in his words, his eyes were always on Zuodu Yushi of Yushitai.

Zuodu Yushi stepped forward directly, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, Yushitai"

"nothing."

The censors at Yushitai are very low-ranked, like those inspecting censors who inspect places, but they are only seventh-rank, and they are not qualified to participate in the Great Dynasty.

And the senior officials of Yushitai didn't dare to speak after Zuodu Yushi said so.

The emperor gave a "hmm" and asked again: "Is there something to do with the six departments?"

After a while of silence, Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty arrived in Jiankang the day before yesterday and has been waiting for summons at the Hall of the Ministry of Rites. Today, the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty is already waiting outside."

Hearing the words Beiqi envoy, the emperor subconsciously frowned.

From the seventh year of Hongde, Chen Guo suffered some small losses on the battlefield. The next year, the emperor married the princess of the Northern Kingdom.

The purpose of coming here is very simple.

He changed ways to ask this "son-in-law" for money.

Although to Chen Guo, the money wasn't too much, and it was enough for the household department to get a little out, but it was really disgusting.

And Northern Qi occupies half of the country, so there is no need to be like a beggar, asking for money every spring. Obviously, these Qi people are here to disgust Chen Guo.

To be precise, it was to disgust the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Forcing him to get angry, forcing him to fight.

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned even tighter, and he said impatiently: "Can't the Ministry of Rites talk to them?"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites bowed his head and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the host and guests of the Ministry of Rites have been talking with them, but they insist on seeing His Majesty, saying that it is a gift between the two countries."

"That's it."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Just let them in."

Soon, two Northern Qi envoys were brought into Deqing Hall.

One of these two is the official envoy and the other is the deputy envoy, both officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Dynasty.

After seeing the emperor, the two Qi people bowed to the emperor and said: "The foreign minister Zhu Man, on behalf of His Majesty the great Qi emperor, greets the emperor of the Southern Dynasty."

He speaks Chinese with perfect pronunciation.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened.

Not only did she not kneel, but she also called her so contemptuously!

It gets worse every year!
