The Emperor's Beginning Summons Wu Zhangkong

Chapter 16: Thinking behind closed doors!

The Grand Master, the Prime Minister and the other ten people had just walked into the Huangji Hall. When they looked up, they saw hundreds of soldiers of the imperial army kneeling on the ground. The eunuchs and maids on duty at the entrance of the hall all knelt on the ground. Everyone was so majestic. Without daring to speak out, an extremely suppressed aura filled the entire Huangji Palace!

The group of people looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes. This matter is not easy to handle today!
The group of people walked to the entrance of the main hall, only to find that all the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards were kneeling on the ground. No one paid attention to them, and no one went to report. They were all very court officials. They usually come here. The little eunuch went in and reported the matter. He had never encountered such a situation before.

However, the people present were all fine people, and they would not be troubled by this small problem. The Prime Minister coughed lightly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty Li Lian, Grand Master Yang Lin, Backer Wang Xia Rushan, and Bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion. Jiang Qingfeng brought six ministerial books to seek an audience with His Majesty!"

"Proclaim"

After a while, Xia Xuan's voice came from the Huangji Palace.

The Prime Minister straightened up and looked a little unhappy. His Majesty's attitude towards these old ministers before he took office was much better than this. They had watched His Majesty grow up.His Majesty ascended the throne at the age of eight. In the past eight years, his patron, King Xia Rushan, taught him martial arts, Taishi Yang Lin taught him the art of war, Wenhua Pavilion University scholar taught his majesty how to read and write, and he, the prime minister of Daxia, taught his majesty the art of strategy and balance.

The four of them are His Majesty's teachers. In the eyes of the Prime Minister, although His Majesty is talented and intelligent, he is still a young man and immature after all. If there is any problem, he should discuss it with the four teachers before making a decision!Emperor Taizu founded the Great Xia Dynasty. How could he, a wise and powerful man, say anything wrong? Now, in their eyes, Xia Xuan's decision is just a child's nonsense, and they still need a few old guys to wipe His Majesty's butt. !

Prime Minister Li Lian had nothing to say about his ability, but in his eyes, Xia Xuan was still his disciple even though he was in the ninth position. Although he was loyal to Xia Xuan, in the same way, Xia Xuan was still a junior in his eyes. His Majesty cannot make decisions on major matters alone, and the four old guys still need the help of the government affairs. When His Majesty grows up in a few years, it will be time for these old guys to completely delegate their power!
The Prime Minister and a group of ten people walked into the Huangji Palace, bowed and saluted: "I am waiting for you, Your Majesty!"

"Free Gift"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

Xia Xuan looked at the imperial guards and eunuchs kneeling on the ground below and said, "You all should get up too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Xia Xuan looked at the ten important ministers of Great Xia and the pillars of the court in the main hall, and asked: "I don't know what the important thing is for you all to come here together. However, there were changes in the border and there was a rebellion, which actually caused the four former great officials of Great Xia to The auxiliary ministers and the six ministers are here!"

The Prime Minister stepped forward, bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am here to ask Your Majesty to take back my order. Your Majesty has decreed to recruit a person with no reputation at all to serve as Minister of Commerce. Is this inappropriate? The ancestral system left by Emperor Taizu clearly states that recruiting talents is a major matter for the court and should not be taken lightly, let alone people with no virtue, talent and no name! The ancestral system has stood firm for thousands of years in Daxia. The foundation must not be violated! In the past, Wenhua Cabinet ministers also supervised His Majesty's understanding of Emperor Taizu's profound meaning. I don't know why Your Majesty knowingly violated it!"

As soon as the words fell, the other nine people were shocked. After hearing these words, the Prime Minister wanted to accuse His Majesty!

"How presumptuous, Li Lian, I am not your disciple, why do you still want to question me?"

"I dare not!"

Li Lian hurriedly bowed and saluted. At this moment, Li Lian also felt regretful in his heart. He usually criticized people a lot, and because he was angry, he somehow said the last thing.

"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? Block the imperial edict, break into the palace, and question me in court. Why, do you still want me to issue a sinful edict?"

"I am guilty, but I dare not!"

Li Lian's body bent downward again, and he didn't even dare to say!

When the other nine people saw this, they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Okay, okay, you guys are really nice! Come here!"

"Here!" "Prepared decree: Prime Minister Li Lian disrespects the emperor, despises the Holy One, and makes a mistake in front of the palace. He has been an official for many years and has worked hard and meritorious service. He will be given a lighter sentence. He will be punished in a closed door for three days to reflect on his sins. He will also give a ten-thousand-word sermon. Write down your guilt and what you have thought and felt in the past three days!"

Li Lian's expression changed and he said slowly: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"

"You all leave!"

Several people looked at each other, bowed and said: "I obey the order!"

Seeing several people exiting the hall, Xia Xuan knew that this was only temporary. This time Xia Xuan blocked them back, and the excerpts that would be presented would not be on Xia Xuan's desk until tomorrow!

At the same time, several people who had just walked out of the Huangji Hall looked at Li Lian. The Grand Master even said bluntly: "Prime Minister, what you said is extremely treasonous. His Majesty can kill you just by what you said." head of!"

"It's not that I was in a hurry and couldn't listen to my words, so I said such nonsense. Don't blame me, don't blame me. I will go home and shut up to think about the past." After saying that, he cupped his hands, and Li Lian left directly. I lost my face at my grandma’s house!

Seeing Li Lian hurriedly leaving, Jiang Qingfeng, a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, stroked his beard and said: "Ah, Brother Li is too straightforward and too strict with his disciples. Yesterday I heard that a dignified third-rank household minister The minister, he scolded him so much that he was scolded and ordered to copy books ten times. Officials at all levels praised him for his rigorous scholarship and his pursuit of excellence for his disciples! I didn't expect that the responsibility would fall on His Majesty today. It's really... ··If it weren’t for Taizu Zuzhi, I wouldn’t have gone through this muddy water.”

The backer king Xia Rushan said: "No matter what, the ancestral system left by Emperor Taizu cannot be violated. I will break it when I get back. This Shen Wansan cannot be named Minister of the Ministry of Commerce no matter what!"

"Extremely great!"

In the evening, Wu Zhangkong, who had been waiting all day in Nanshan on the outskirts of Beijing, came to Huangji Hall. Xia Xuan told Wu Zhangkong everything that had happened.

Wu Zhangkong asked: "I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do?"

"Just wait three more days and follow the original plan after the court meeting."

"Yes"

"As for Shen Wansan, give him a thousand taels of gold from my inner treasury and let him buy a courtyard in Kyoto to live in, waiting for my imperial edict!"

"Yes"

Looking at Wu Zhangkong who just carried out his orders without asking any questions, and then thinking about the ministers who had always vaguely regarded themselves as their teachers, it would be better to replace the people in the court with their own!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Daxia's court meeting, which was held every seven days, also arrived as usual!
Xia Xuan sat high on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials.

The crowd shouted: "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Peace for all the nobles"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

Shunxi on the side took a step forward, flicked his fly whisk and shouted: "If anything happens, report early, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

Prime Minister Li Lian, who was at the head of the civil servants, was holding a thick fold, stepped forward, bowed and said, "I have something to report!"
