Feng Lin, the emperor of the world, is difficult to do

Chapter 59 The emperor wants to be in charge

A few days later, Long Xuanyi returned to the court hall, only to find that everything began to change within a few days of his absence, sitting on the high dragon chair, looking at the clearly divided For the ministers of the two factions, Long Xuanyi felt faintly excited. It seemed that his plan had gradually begun to bear fruit.

"There is a book to play, and you have nothing to do!" Li Ming'an's standard duck voice suddenly sounded, and it seemed so abrupt in this originally quiet court hall.

"I have a book to play!" Xia Chao stepped forward three steps and said loudly.

Hearing this, the corners of Long Xuanyi's mouth rose slightly, and he turned his head to look at Mrs. Liu who was sitting behind the curtain. He felt a little joy in his heart, adjusted his emotions a little, and then slowly said: "What's the matter with Xia Qing's family? Sue?"

"May I ask the emperor, the empress dowager, and all the ministers present, if they still remember the ancestral system of my Jin Dynasty?" After the ceremony, Xia Chao straightened his body and asked.

"I don't know which ancestral system Xia Qing's family refers to?" Long Xuanyi asked knowingly.The other ministers present were discussing one after another, especially the assistant ministers, with different expressions.Sitting behind the curtain, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold her breath anymore. With one hand, she tightly grabbed the armrest of the phoenix chair beside her, and took a deep breath.

"If you remember correctly, according to the ancestral system of the Jin Dynasty, when a new emperor ascends the throne, reaches the crown and gets married, he must be in charge of the government, and the name of the assistant minister will be cancelled. Now, the emperor has been married for more than a month. Dare I Excuse me, why do you still need the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain? Why do the ministers have to go through the hands of the assistant minister Liu Gongjing for the repertoires played by the ministers?" Xia Chao said as if he had made a lot of determination, and the whole hall echoed back and forth. human voice.

"Report to the emperor, I have a book to play." Hearing what Xia Chao said, Liu Gongjing immediately jumped out from the crowd, bent slightly, and said loudly.At the same time, he gave Xia Chao a hard look.As early as when Xia Liwei was demoted to be a concubine, Liu Gongjing visited Xia Mansion with a gift, just to appease Xia Chao. He will mention the matter of the ancestral system, but as soon as Long Xuanyi came to court today, did he start to change his mind?If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have thought of trying to win him over, but directly took away the child in Xia Liwei's womb. In this way, Xia Chao would have nothing to rely on, and if that were the case, he wouldn't be like this now. Said these words recklessly.

"Oh? Liu Qing's family also has a book to play?" Long Xuanyi obviously asked this question with the mood of watching a play. How could he not know that when Xia Chao said those words, these things he always wanted How would someone who asked himself to abdicate react?Now is the time to see who can hold their breath.

"Yes, I have a mission to play." Liu Gongjing took a step forward and continued: "At the beginning, the first emperor appointed us as assistant ministers for the purpose of allowing us to assist the emperor in handling state affairs and to appease you. Min Xin, although you are already married, Your Majesty, it has only been more than a month. If I remember correctly, the late Emperor made a special statement at that time that unless the empress of the palace gave birth to a dragon son, the Empress Dowager still needs to listen to the government behind the curtain. , the auxiliary ministers still need to assist the emperor in handling state affairs."

"Why didn't I know about this matter?" Hearing what Liu Gongjing said, Long Xuanyi sat up slightly, staring at Liu Gongjing below and asked.He really didn't know about this matter, and he had never heard of it.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, I have the imperial decree left by the former emperor in my hand. Moreover, the current empress dowager can also prove this matter." Liu Gongjing's words are undoubtedly a depth bomb, making the originally quiet court once again boil up.

"The imperial decree left by the late emperor?"

"Yes, on the imperial decree, it is clearly written that 'the new emperor will marry and give birth in the palace before he can govern himself.' Such a sentence, if the emperor and the ministers don't believe it, the ministers can go back and get the imperial decree now. Discern the authenticity of what the minister just said." Liu Gongjing slowed down, and his whole person was quite calm.It's a good thing that he kept a hand back then, otherwise, wouldn't the current me have to go home to retire?

"The Ai family can indeed testify to this matter. Back then, it was the first emperor who handed over the imperial decree to Mr. Liu in front of the Ai family. In addition, he also specifically stated that the empress must be the daughter of the Liu family." The queen mother was listening After finishing Liu Gongjing's words, he gradually settled down, and at the same time, he slowly recalled that incident.

"How is it possible, Weichen is also one of the auxiliary ministers, why doesn't Weichen know about this matter? There are two other adults, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wu, you two, tell me, is there such a thing? "Xia Chao looked at the crowd with obvious disbelief when he heard the words.

"This..." Zhao Zhicheng didn't continue for a long time. He really didn't know what Liu Gongjing said, but the queen mother said there was such a thing. Can he say no?

"Presumptuous, you don't believe what the Ai family said? The Ai family sees that you are a little bit arrogant? Just because your daughter is extremely favored in the palace, you start to ignore the Ai family?" Liu Shi stood up angrily, slapped his palm on the phoenix chair, and said coldly.

"I dare not..." Xia Chao said.

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother." Long Xuanyi stood up and said to the people behind the curtain. At the same time, he turned around and looked at the crowd and continued: "This matter needs to be investigated. If there is nothing else, retreat. However, four Please stay, the auxiliary minister, I want to know the whole process of this matter." After speaking, Long Xuanyi took the lead to leave Qinghua Hall and walked directly to Wenxuan Hall.

"My lords, please go to the Wenxuan Palace." Seeing that Long Xuanyi had left, Li Mingan bowed slightly, and said very politely to the four assistant ministers. Move to Wenxuan Hall."

"Eunuch Lao will lead the way." Zhao Zhicheng nodded and said.

So, among the four people, Liu Gongjing walked behind Mrs. Liu, the two of them were talking softly, but the three who followed behind couldn't hear a word clearly.It's just that Xia Chao's face was full of anger. Originally, he would say this today for the sake of the child in my own daughter's womb. After all, looking at the entire harem, except for Xia Liwei who is pregnant, other None of his concubines were pregnant. In other words, if the emperor can rule in person now, then the child in Xia Liwei's womb will be the future prince. However, if this matter fails, the position of him and Liu Gongjing will be different. It's a real confrontation.
