Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 6 Barbarians
The hall was silent, and after the eunuch's high-pitched and shrill voice, a group of Qingyi people in strange costumes made of animal skins walked into the hall.

There were five people in that group, and the leader was an arrogant young man. After entering the hall, he looked at everything around him with disdain in his eyes. Judging from his clothes, he was the most distinguished among the group.

On his right was a mature middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes. As soon as he entered the hall, he noticed Jiang Sile beside the dragon chair.

Jiang Sile also noticed his gaze, and thought: This is a difficult character.

"Prince Wu Mu of Qingyi, I have met His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia."

"Qingyi Zuoxian King Wu Quji, met His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia Kingdom."

"The envoy of Qingyi has met His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia."

The voices of the five people echoed in the hall.

Jiang Sile discovered that these envoys did not kneel down, but bowed with their right hands forward.

Especially that Prince Wu Mu of Qingyi, who only slightly bent his waist, that arc...it might as well not be there, extremely perfunctory.

Didn't the Great Xia Dynasty attach great importance to etiquette?Jiang Sile muttered, that's it?
Strict with your own people, submissive to outsiders?

If it weren't for the emphasis on etiquette, there would be a concubine sitting in the ceremonial row, and her seat would not be in front of Princess Anle's mother, Concubine Cheng.

At this time, an admonisher should appear to scold the rude Qingyi envoy.

It's like Lin Xiangru in the textbook who sacrificed his life for righteousness and threatened King Qin for the dignity of the country.

This is the standard plot, right?
Jiang Sile secretly looked around, waiting for the Son of Destiny to appear, this is a merit that can be written into the history books after all.

But no matter how carefully Jiang Sile observed, the ministers on the left didn't move at all, at most they were whispering to each other, no one stood up to speak directly, and they even spoke very quietly, like rats.

In fact, some people wanted to stand up, but their mouths were covered.

Tang Yi was originally the No. [-] scholar in the tenth year of Qingping. Of course, it seems that he may be the last No. [-] scholar in this dynasty. The imperial examination has not been held for five consecutive years in this dynasty.

He was exiled to Lanqu County as a county magistrate because of his upright character and offended the powerful. This year, he returned to Beijing and became an admonisher for Yushitai thanks to the help of his father-in-law.

Although he was a seventh-rank official, he was still a Beijing official, so Tang Yi happily accepted it.It was also lucky, as soon as he came back, he met the Qingyi envoys to meet His Majesty at a big banquet.

Seeing that the group of envoys were not dressed properly and did not follow the etiquette norms, Tang Yi just wanted to get up on the spot to reprimand her, but her father-in-law pulled her down and covered her mouth.

"Pei...Why are Mr. Pei stopping me?"

Due to the large number of people around, Pei Xing's movements were not noticed.

Pei Xing's official position is not high, he is just a sixth-rank counselor in the household department, and he is cautious.Before the banquet, he specially dragged his son-in-law Tang Yi to sit in the faceless back, and spent a lot of money for this.

"You boy... this is in front of the Holy One, what do you want to do?"

Pei Xing was well aware of this son-in-law's nature, he was on duty today, and he specially changed shifts to attend the banquet in order to prevent this son-in-law from causing trouble.

"He...that barbarian is very rude. As an admonisher, my son-in-law should scold the barbarians to preserve the majesty of the court."

Tang Yi has an upright face. He has read sage books since he was a child, and he is the number one scholar in the examination. He has a righteous personality, and even dreams of being a courtier like Lin Xiangru.

"You are a petty official, standing up now is destroying the relationship between Qingyi and Daxia. Can you bear the crime?"

Pei Xing first scolded him severely, and then persuaded the son-in-law gently.

"Then look at the princes in the high positions ahead, which one has moved?
It is you Yushitai doctors and Zhongcheng, which one is not higher than your rank, and they have not moved, why are you here to make trouble? "

Tang Yi saw that sure enough, the boss of their censor platform—Li Taoshan, the censor doctor, Mr. Li was still half-closed with his eyes half-closed.

Tang Yi only felt depressed in her heart, let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the seat.

Pei Xing loosened the hand holding the son-in-law, and sighed
"You child, just be obedient. If His Majesty blames you, not only will your life be lost, but the life of the old man and even my poor little daughter will be ruined in your hands."

Tang Yi's expression turned ugly, "This...how did the world become like this..."

Pei Xing didn't care about the son-in-law's complaints, and taught him the principles of being an official.

"This is the way of the world. Have you seen the princes above? If they are moved, it will be useless for us petty officials to remonstrate many times."

"Then why don't they..."

Before Tang Yi finished speaking, his arm was lightly pinched, and he stopped his mouth knowingly, he was surrounded by his colleagues.

At this time, Li Taoshan, the official censor who was closely watched by Tang Yi, was squinting his eyes halfway to catch his sleep.

Yushitai is now a place for the elderly, His Majesty doesn't care, and the princes in the cabinet don't care either.

But if he remonstrated indiscriminately, it hadn't been a year before the death of the previous doctor Yushi, and Li Taoshan hadn't secured his position yet, so he didn't want to go down early to accompany this upright old boss.

Li Taoshan glanced at the top two red-clothed ministers on the left, one is the prince Taifu, whose hair is already greying, Ji Taifu; the other is the elder Wang Ge who holds the real power in the cabinet.

Seeing that the two did not move, Li Taishan continued to sit as steadily as Mount Tai.

He can't admonish this matter, nor will he admonish it.

The Xia Dynasty is no better than the previous one, no one will pull you when you hit your head against the wall.

At this time, another voice came, shouting:

"A phase mouse has skin, but a human has no manners! A human has no manners, so why not die?

Disrespect the king, disrespect etiquette.It is a beast, such a person cannot die. "

This round of scolding was very good, Tang Yi secretly cried out in her heart, if Yue Zhang pulls her, he might also applaud.

What this sentence says is: mice have skin, but people have no manners, and people have no manners, it is better to die.

People who don't respect the king, don't respect etiquette are like beasts, and I'm afraid they will die a bad life.

The previous words come from "National Style · Xiangshu", which can be regarded as quotations, and the latter reprimands are very satisfying.

But the diction is a bit rough, if I come, I will definitely be able to quote and scold this barbarian to pieces.

Thinking of Tang Yi silently glanced at Pei Xing, then silently looked away.

"Look at what I do... look at his identity? If you dare to say it, I'm afraid the Nine Clans will disappear," Pei Xing threatened.

Tang Yi cast her eyes on the person who said this, and suddenly her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Then...that is?"

"That's Princess An Le, His Majesty's most beloved princess. Sigh, I didn't expect...in the end...it was a woman..."

Pei Xing said with emotion.

He was also greatly shocked, and even the hand holding Tang Yi couldn't help trembling.

The colleagues around Tang Yi and Pei Xing were also greatly shocked, and the exclamation sound reached their ears.

"There is such a courageous and savvy woman in my dynasty... This courage is... comparable to the Empress Wu of the previous dynasty..."

The voice finally disappeared into the ears of Pei Xing and Tang Yi with a little panic.

All the people in the hall were discussing in low voices, looking at the woman beside the dragon chair from time to time, with praises in their mouths.

Taifu Ji, who was in front on the left, also slowly opened his eyes, and frowned slightly as he glanced at the woman who dared to scold the envoy from Qingyi.

Princess Anle?Is this to create momentum for the prince?
Taifu Ji's first thought was the dispute between the princes.The crown prince is not taken seriously, and the eldest prince has been named King Wen, and the two of them have great power in the court.

And Princess Anle Jiang Sile is the prince's younger sister, which made him think a lot.

Elder Wang Ge next to him also frowned slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was planning something.
