PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
On the main hall of Chaoyi, Yu Xuan sat on the dragon chair, and hundreds of officials knelt below, shouting: Long live, long live, long live!
Yu Xuan said: All the secretaries, please be even!
Hearing this, the hundred officials thanked Tian's grace and said: Thank you, Your Majesty!
That's how I got up.
The matter of the show girl is related to the court society, which is not trivial, and there is no official who is not concerned about it. Thinking about it, on the morning road, there were officials of different grades gathered together, whispering who was chosen, and who would sit on the queen's throne?
Even so, those officials are just some grass on the wall that is not in the climate, and there is a matter of participating in the draft, thinking that their daughter will be selected, and they will ascend to the sky in one step, and they will be the national father-in-law under one person and above ten thousand people. Such foolish dreams are only their lower-level officials who have no ink on their chests and are timid and afraid of things. Among the hundreds of officials, there are naturally those who regard themselves as high, do not go along with others, and don't seem to care whether their daughters are selected or not. But when it comes to flattery, the two are indistinguishable and comparable.
What is being discussed in the court today is the draft. I just listen to someone playing.
One person shouted: Weichen has a book!
Yu Xuan followed the sound and saw the right prime minister stand up, holding the white jade recital with both hands, and lowered his head and said: Your Majesty, the show girl has been selected, according to the traditional rules. Before entering the palace to become a mother, the young master has to be trained by the old mother in the palace. to enter the palace to serve. The queen's status is noble, so she is naturally different. The gifts she received were different from those of others. Sui Weichen believes that choosing a queen among the three little lords is the most important thing now.
Yu Xuan said: For the position of queen, I already have a candidate.
When the officials heard this, they all looked at Yu Xuan with blazing eyes. The right prime minister raised his head and asked: I don't know which little master it is?
Yuxuan Dao: Ren.
Neither the daughter of the squire's mansion, nor the young lady in the prime minister's family, but the unknown Ren family? As a result, all the officials turned their eyes to Lu Shilang and Prime Minister Du Cheng to see how they reacted.
Lord Squire is fine. Inconsequential. He is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and his daughter entered the palace to participate in the draft, but he did not agree, but his daughter was willing, and she insisted on entering the palace, but there was really no way, so she followed her wishes. As for the position of queen, as far as he is concerned, since the emperor already has a candidate. There is nothing to say and do, and what happens to her daughter in the future depends on her own creation.
This one is light-hearted, but the other is rebellious.
I only heard Prime Minister Du Cheng solemnly say: The position of the queen. It's extraordinary, please think about it carefully!
Yu Xuan said: I have thought about it carefully for a night, and it is her.
Prime Minister Du Cheng was unwilling. Dao: Weichen feels that one night is not enough time to choose the queen. So Weichen hereby respectfully invites the emperor to think about it carefully. Make a decision again!
As he spoke, the man knelt down and kowtowed, and the words were sonorous and powerful.
Some of the hundred officials were side branches of Prime Minister Du Cheng, and when they saw him kneeling down to ask for instructions, they also stood up and said: Please make another decision on the emperor's side!
Someone stood up again and said: Please make another decision!
In addition to the side branches who came out to shout, even those who watched the excitement also stood up. Sure enough, it lived up to the good name of "grass on the wall"! Then many officials came out in turn, bowed their heads and bowed, and shouted that sentence in their mouths.
Seeing this, Yu Xuan couldn't help but be furious. I heard that Qingqing had been kidnapped a moment ago, and at this moment, these ministers who only follow the rules and are extremely vulgar have united against themselves.
Yu Xuan suppressed the anger in his chest, looked at the people who were prostrate on the ground with cold eyes, and sneered: It seems that this so-called queen is to serve Aiqing you, according to your preferences, and I am just an ornament.
Hearing this, the hundred officials, whether they were kneeling or standing, all knelt down, and shouted in unison: The emperor forgives the sin!
Yu Xuan said: Forgive your sins, what are your sins? It's just to let me choose the queen according to your wishes, what's wrong?
After speaking, none of the officials spoke, and they all bowed their heads to the ground, motionless. After a while, Yu Xuan said: If the Aiqing have nothing else to do, just disperse!
After speaking, Yu Xuan stood up, walked out of the main hall, and went to the imperial study.
Baiguan heard the footsteps and walked away, Fang got up, looked in the direction of Yu Xuan walking away in horror, and saw that the person was really gone, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew from the main hall, and then gathered together, saying the words of fear in twos and threes.
That Prime Minister Du is an old man in the court, but he was not frightened when he saw that scene, but it caused those timid people to be unable to eat for a few days. I saw a person in the distance running closer, approached Prime Minister Du Cheng, and said: My lord, do you think that the emperor is a little wrong? If you want to go back and forth, you won't be like that.
Prime Minister Du Cheng glanced at the man strangely and said: I saw you clever in the past, but today I am confused. Who is the emperor? The Son of Heaven is also! The person who can sit on that dragon chair, do you think it will be such a vulgar and stupid person? I said that today, and the emperor should be angry.
Seeing that the man nodded in agreement, he said again: Although this is the case, the emperor will not really blame him for this!
The man laughed and said: My lord is really knowledgeable, and the officials admire it!
Prime Minister Du Cheng smiled and said: Okay, don't be a sycophant! But it gives me an idea, how can I get the emperor to re-elect the queen?
The man nodded, thought about it for a while, and said: Everyone knows that Ren is not an official lady, but she can lead the name of an official lady into the palace to participate in the draft girl, I think it should be the emperor's meaning, which shows that the emperor likes her. In the past, the emperor never said that he wanted to marry, but now he is willing, I think it must be because of that woman. Even so, it is reasonable for the emperor to choose her as the queen, if you want to make the emperor change his mind, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Du Chengxiang listened, nodded, and said: That's what I think. But what would happen if all the officials played together and asked the emperor to change the candidates?
The man smiled and said, "My lord already has a calculation in his heart, so why ask me!"
Hearing this, Prime Minister Du Cheng laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the man's shoulder, and his body was like a light swallow, and he walked away.
The man stood in place, looking at Prime Minister Du Cheng's distant back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he spoke softly, as if talking to himself.
The words were, "Heaven is mighty, Prime Minister Du, don't you even understand this?"
After Prime Minister Du returned to his home, he immediately wrote several letters and sent his servants to deliver the letters to each house in turn. Then, he sent a small servant to go to the restaurant to book the best banquet. Then sit down and rest.
