_Chapter 440: Under Pressure
Behind the bead curtain, the eldest princess Yu had ginseng tea in her mouth, almost not squirting out, and there was a charming smile on her pretty face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She could naturally hear that these words came out of Zhuang Yichen's mouth, which really relieved her hatred!
Why do you want to sacrifice in this palace and marry the prodigal son of the seventh prince of Wei. The truth is fanciful, but in fact, it is not a dirty plan.
"Sacrificing your reputation alone can benefit hundreds of millions of people in Yan Kingdom, this father's words are righteousness, how can you say that it is rude!" Zhuang Yichen took two steps and immediately arrived in the center of the court.
He was a strange face, and when the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that he was wearing a duke's court robe, there was contempt in their eyes.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, authority is the most important, and knighthood is second! Although he is only a fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites, he feels that his status is higher than that of the second-rank loyal and brave duke.
"Who are you, you are not allowed to discuss politics, you are talking nonsense in the court, ignoring the laws of my Yan Kingdom!" said Senren, an official of the Ministry of Rites, and a big hat was buttoned down.
"This duke is a second-rank loyal and brave duke, a cavalry guard in front of the palace, why can't he speak!" Zhuang Yichen smiled slightly, and said neatly.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites jumped in their hearts, the palace guards belonged to an extremely noble position in Yan Kingdom, and they belonged to the people who were extremely trusted by the royal family to be in this position.
How could this person become a confidant of the royal family at such a young age? The officials of the Ministry of Rites thought quickly in their minds, and soon understood Zhuang Yichen's identity.
A mere martial artist actually climbed to such a high position, which made him feel jealous and angry in his heart.
"This official is on a case-by-case basis, after all, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has reached the age of marriage, and she is a good match with the seven princes of Wei State, and it will help the future national strength of my Yan Kingdom. There is no reason to refuse such a good thing that is both public and private!" The official of the Ministry of Rites forcibly suppressed his anger and spoke.
"My father thinks that you and Emperor Wei are also a match made in heaven, and it is also a beautiful thing for both public and private, and the hundreds of millions of people of my Yan Kingdom will definitely praise you in the future. Zhuang Yichen said with a smile, and deliberately bit the two words in the future very hard.
The eldest princess couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly covered her mouth and let out a sneer, thinking that Zhuang Yichen was really bad.
There was a small strange sound behind the bead curtain, and at this time, the officials of the Yan Kingdom had no heart to investigate what it meant.
Zhuang Yichen's intention to come out to stir up the situation is already obvious, there is no doubt that this is the meaning of the eldest princess.
The officials on this side of the cabinet were naturally unhappy, and finally pulled out a big righteousness to force the eldest princess to marry, but they didn't expect that this vulgar martial artist would really mess around, and also pull out the matter of Emperor Wei's preference for male style.
And after thinking about it deeply, what Zhuang Yichen said seemed to have some truth, and the officials of the royalist faction also showed a look of thought.
"It's really nonsense, how can an official of my Yan Kingdom do such a depraved thing and damage the national body!" an official came out to scold Zhuang Yichen.
"I don't even want to make this sacrifice, I see that your sage book is also in vain!
This official was speechless suddenly, he couldn't say that the eldest princess was not as good as a four-grade official of the Ministry of Rites, right?
Although he wished that the eldest princess would marry into the Wei State immediately, the strength of the cabinet would dominate the fate of the Yan State, and these officials could also rise to the top and be rewarded for their merits.
"Besides, the Seven Princes of Wei State cannot inherit the Great Unification, and after His Royal Highness marries, he has no hope!
He said this, in fact, how could the cabinet officials of Yi Wenru and his family not know.
It's just that he deliberately pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything! Finally, there was such an opportunity to get the eldest princess away, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of it.
And Zhuang Yichen directly said this matter, and there is not much room for making a fuss.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that this marriage is not very appropriate, but according to etiquette, my country needs to send one person to Wei to refuse this marriage!" Liu Gongshi, the right minister of the cabinet, came out and said loudly.
The four ministers of the cabinet are the minister, the left minister, the right minister, and the auxiliary minister! Generally speaking, after serving a term as a state lord, one is eligible to join the cabinet as a minister.
In the cabinet of Yan, in addition to the auxiliary ministers, the left and right ministers are all headed by Yi Wenru.
In particular, this Liu Gongshi is Yi Wenru's powerful thug, and the two also have a teacher-student friendship, both of which belong to the Zongheng family.
At this time, he said that the marriage was not appropriate, and it was naturally a retreat as an advance, which was a supplement to the original plan.
Emperor Yan's eyes couldn't help but move to Yi Wenru, and he saw that the first person in the cabinet lowered his eyelids at this time, as if he was asleep.
Zhuang Yichen was thinking that a good show was coming at this time, just as the eldest princess expected, the officials of the cabinet still put the killer weapon on the point of sending the envoy to the Wei State.
Everyone knows that going to Wei is a game of nine deaths, and even if he is a strong person, he can't withstand the consumption of wheel tactics.
Therefore, it is difficult to choose the envoy sent to Wei State, even if there is, if he dies in Wei State at that time, it will have a great impact on the prestige of the eldest princess and Emperor Yan, and the national body of the entire Yan State.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Mei Dengfeng, the master of the Ministry of Rites, has outstanding literary skills and strong ability to adapt to emergencies, and can be an envoy to the Wei State!" As soon as Liu Gongshi said this, the faces of many royalist officials immediately changed.
Mei Dengfeng was a rising star of the royalists, and within five years he was expected to become a genius of the literary heroes, and he was also an official highly valued by the eldest princess.
Especially at this time, when it is related to the eldest princess's lifelong event, there is no reason to shirk it.
The Ministry of Rites was originally the territory of the cabinet, and Mei Dengfeng was able to squeeze into it, in addition to his personal ability, the royalists also put a lot of effort into it.
If he can be made to die in the Yan Kingdom, it can be said that it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
At this time, there were immediately royalist officials who came out to nominate people from the cabinet line, and soon there were officials from both sides, and the people who mentioned them were naturally talents from the other faction.
Zhuang Yichen naturally quietly retreated to his position and watched coldly! At this time, what he needed most was to distinguish the pattern of the two major forces in the court and the relevant officials.
If it weren't for the fact that if one of the parties out of town in the future couldn't figure out the relationship between these entanglements, it would have caused significant consequences.
Now the officials who shoot are all below the third grade, and the high-ranking officials have basically become clay bodhisattvas.
And the officials who were nominated were silent, after all, they had studied hard for decades, working hard for their family and their own glory, and they didn't go to Yan Country to die.
