After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 386 Yao Chao's Promotion
On the second day that Yao Shu and his wife went south, news spread to the capital from the northwest, saying that it was a great victory at the frontier pass.

The ruling and opposition parties were filled with joy, even the peace faction who resisted the war the most. After hearing the good news at the border, all of them were overjoyed, not to mention the military generals who have been strongly demanding to show our country's prestige.

For a while, even the emperor, who was often depressed in the morning, had a smile on his face for several days.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the minds of the courtiers gradually became active.

"Report to Your Majesty," a servant from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said respectfully, "Qin Tianjian watched the stars last night and saw that one of the Suzaku seven constellations, the main star, was flourishing. ——Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty should follow the auspicious omens of God, fill the harem, and restore the ancestral temple."

The emperor ignored the second half of the sentence, and just heard the good news, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was already quite good-looking, seemed even more pleasing to the eye in his eyes.

He smiled and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, and I also feel that it is time to worship the ancestors and tell the good news to the ancestors."

Seeing that the emperor did not accept the draft at all, the minister of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

But the emperor tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, and said: "Xingzhu Xingsheng, it proves that my harem is just right now, otherwise the heavens would not have sent such a sign. But the previous dynasty, I see, all the ministries are still fully manned ... Now only Dali Temple is short of one person."

The courtier's ears perked up quietly, just waiting for the emperor's next words.

Dali Temple had a high status in the Great Yan Dynasty. Although important cases were jointly tried by the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai in name, in fact, the real power of Dali Temple Minister was much higher than that of the other two divisions.

Now Dali Temple Minister is very old and rarely manages affairs. The specific affairs are handled by two young ministers.And because a Shaoqing just left at the beginning of the year, Dali Temple lost a person in charge.

The emperor's voice was faint, and sounded from a distance above the jade steps: "Do you have any recommendations?"

The main hall fell into a moment of silence, only the towering bronze incense burner under the jade steps, slowly wafting green smoke, enveloping the entire front hall in a vague sense, making it more and more distant that the emperor on the dragon chair is far away. and.

Usually at this time, the courtiers would wait for someone to come out, and then slowly hide the person they valued among the speeches, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth.

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials to recommend suitable talents for the imperial court, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, among the Jinshi of this year's scientific examination, those who are upright and upright can enter Dali Temple. I think that the number of candidates is too short now." The position of Shaoqing can be promoted by Si Chengding alone."

This answer is quite satisfactory, adding newcomers to Dali Temple, the original temple minister can also go a step further, no one can fault it, and it is done like this according to the usual rules.

It's just that the emperor frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the result, and turned to others: "Who are the candidates for the love?"

The courtiers started discussing slowly, and they all recommended some people, even Meng Qing, who has always been shy about showing off, recommended two people.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly came out and explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Han Qi and Zhang Mo mentioned by the little prince are both famous for their straightforward temper, and they must be qualified for the post of Dali Temple."

The emperor gave a faint "huh" and asked, "Where do Han Qi and Zhang Mo work now?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said: "Han Qi is in the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Mo is in the Ministry of War."

The emperor was noncommittal, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials saw this, and just retreated embarrassingly.

After all, Meng Qing is of royal blood, and he is also the little nephew whom the emperor has always favored. Although he is not satisfied with these two people in his heart, it is not good to show Meng Qing's face in front of the officials.

The emperor then said: "Since someone with an upright temper can be treated by the Ministry of Punishment. I can trust the person Meng Qing recommends. Then he will be promoted to half a rank according to his original position and transferred to the Ministry of Punishment."

With the emperor's word of mouth, the positions of these two people were determined, but the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple was still unclear.

In the end, the emperor suddenly asked, "The Prime Minister of Dali Temple, is it full?"

The officials of the head of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly came out and said, "It's full. There are six adults in total for the position of the Prime Minister of Dali Temple."

Seeing the emperor pondering, he explained the identities and backgrounds of these six people in detail on his own initiative.

The emperor did not interrupt, and nodded after he finished speaking.

This official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs seldom speaks in the hall, but now that he said it out loud, when he retreated to his original position, his heart was still "thumping" in his chest, and his hands were sweating a lot.

The towering dome of the main hall gave people a sense of oppression. The officials who participated in the early courts in the hall for many years were already used to this majestic and solemn atmosphere, but for young officials, they still felt nervous to some extent.

I saw the emperor standing on the high jade steps, seeming to consider the situation of these six people, and then the voice came from the other end of the green smoke curling up from the incense burner: "Si Chengli, Zhang Zhang is promoted to Shaoqing."

The old officials who have been in the court for many years know that the Zhang family has a good relationship with the poor students. The emperor did not mention it from the oldest people, but instead put the younger Zhang Zhang in Shaoqing, which has to make people think up.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhang is also a child of an aristocratic family, so there are not so many voices of opposition in the court.

It's just that the emperor's next sentence poked a hornet's nest: "Let the current imperial guard Yao Chao fill in the missing position in the Temple Chancellor."

All the courtiers looked at each other, and there was a moment of uproar——

The children of these aristocratic families are still vying for the vacancies in Dali Temple, so how come another poor family comes to grab it?
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned, moved his fingers slightly, and signaled the subordinate who had just spoken to come forward.

The official had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a step forward, saying: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple is different from other positions. According to the ancestral system, you can only enter after going through many tests..."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, noncommittal: "Both Han Qi and Zhang Mo can be recommended to Dali Temple, why not Yao Chao? From what I can see, Yao Qing has a calm demeanor and a careful heart, enough to do the job."

The officials of the official department couldn't help but stagnate, bitter in their mouths.

Han Qi and Zhang Mo are both descendants of aristocratic families, and the power behind them is intertwined, and they are both recommended by the little prince. Who in the court would object without opening their eyes?

But what is Yao Chao?
He was only dressed in white, and by luck, he was successful in suppressing the bandits, so he entered the capital.I don't know where the luck came from, and I was later spotted by the emperor as a royal guard——

How could such a person be able to hold the position of Si Cheng of Dali Temple?

Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it outright to save the emperor's face, so they had to be more tactful.

The official from the Ministry of Officials bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yao has not been in the court for a long time. I am afraid it will be difficult to understand the affairs of Dali Temple for a while. Besides, the imperial guard is an important position. Mr. Yao is now in charge of the safety of the emperor. Can move at will? Weichen thinks..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor: "Ai Qing reminded me. If Yao Chao moves away, there will be fewer people in front of me."

Without waiting for the ministers to breathe a sigh of relief, the emperor said again: "It is my will to promote Yao Chao to be the Chancellor of Dali Temple to make up for Zhang Zhang's vacancy. Xie Qian is here to choose."

When the emperor came like this, it was a decree, and it was no longer a tone of discussion with courtiers.

No matter how many ministers have other opinions, it is not easy to put them forward, otherwise it will be rebellion and non-compliance.

Xie Qian stepped forward to agree to the order. Before Lin Rong and Yao Chao entered the capital, Xie Qian was the commander of the imperial guards. Now the power belongs to him, and Xie Qian's face did not cause any disturbance.

It just turned the rest of the ministers into a rage—the good Dali Temple was taken over by the little-known Yao Chao!
