Chapter 56: Face Saint
Yan Tiannuo looked up at the man, who looked like a loyal man.
But the cunning and ruthlessness in his eyes revealed that he was not an easy character to deal with.
Presumably he is the second prince Meng Qilin, his mother is Concubine Sun, his uncle is the prime minister, and his cousin is the governor of Jiangnan.
Tsk, the background is very strong, and he is a strong competitor of Meng Qiyuan.
However, although he has a strong background, Meng Qiyuan is not weak.
Meng Qiyuan's mother is the current queen Wang, his grandfather is the general Wang Wei, with 150,000 soldiers and horses, and Hu Feng, the secretary of the military department he recruited, all of whom hold real power and can actually play a role!
is much better than the prime minister's group of civilian officials, who can only steal and play tricks.
The eldest prince died at the age of three, and the other three princes were weak and incompetent, and had no strength to compete.
Therefore, the successor to the throne in the future will be selected from Meng Qilin and Meng Qiyuan.
Between the lightning and the flint, Yan Tiannuo analyzed the situation that Meng Qiyuan would face in the future.
She remained calm, not the slightest panic, as if she didn't care about the predicament in front of her.
Other officials watched from the sidelines, some didn't care, some sneered, and some waited for movement.
Only Mr. Liu, who re-entered the court a while ago, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, worried that Yan Tiannuo would not be able to say why he would be punished by the emperor.
Yan Tiannuo withdrew his gaze from the second prince, and didn't speak, just stood quietly, staring ahead, as if waiting for something.
After a few minutes, the atmosphere in the hall was strange, and the ministers felt the quiet and silent atmosphere, and even quietly slowed down their breathing, for fear that they would accidentally move and become monkeys.
The second prince and Cheng glanced at each other, and they couldn't figure out what Yan Tiannuo was doing.
"No hindrance, as long as Yan Gongzi can really protect the peace and security of my Nanyuan country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will allow Yan Gongzi to be exempted from the bow ceremony. ”
Finally, the Emperor Yuan above the main hall spoke.
He saw everything in his eyes just now, including the eye contact between the prime minister and the second prince, and the other ministers' affairs were none of their business, and Yan Tannuo's demeanor was leisurely.
Looking at Yan Tiannuo's look that she didn't plan to say, she knew that she was asking him to come forward to solve the siege.
If you don't know her identity, and many of the recent plans are Yan Tiannuo's suggestions, she is indeed very talented.
Otherwise, today's performance alone will probably make him feel unhappy.
After all, the imperial authority must not be offended.
The second prince and Prime Minister Sun Wujian never expected that the emperor would spare Yan Qiannuo's rudeness so easily, and a look of deep thought crossed their eyes, and they retreated into the official queue.
Meng Qiyuan smiled lightly, obviously happy.
Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and he really sweated for Yan Gongzi just now.
Emperor Yuan continued: "According to the recommendation of the third prince, you are extremely intelligent, and you can assist me in rejuvenating the country and securing the country.
Are you willing to join the court as an official, and contribute to me and the Nanyuan Kingdom?"
Yan Tiannuo's demeanor was deferential, and he arched his hand and said: "The third prince is falsely praised, and he is ashamed. If the emperor allows, the grass people are willing to share the emperor's worries. ”
Emperor Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "My dynasty has always been a system of selection and promotion, but now I feel that there are many talented people in the world, if they don't have the opportunity to be recommended by the minister, wouldn't they bury the talent in vain?"
I feel that this kind of ancestral system is really an obstacle to fairness, and it also hinders the development of the Nanyuan Kingdom.
Today, I have appointed you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the ceremonial system, Chinese culture education, and recruiting talented people for our dynasty.
You must make a difference and live up to my expectations!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers boiled and buzzed, and the voice of Prime Minister Sun Wujian was the loudest.
Yan Tiannuo calmly accepted the order: "Thank the emperor, the ministers obey the order, and the ministers must do their best to live up to the emperor's trust." ”
Prime Minister Sun Wujian saw that this matter was decided, where could he still stabilize his emotions, if Yan Tiannuo was asked to select officials and customize the rules, wouldn't his future plans be in vain!
immediately came out and said: "The emperor can't, the election system can't be abolished for hundreds of years!"
And this kid is new to the city, maybe he doesn't even know the customs of my dynasty, how can he be up to such a big responsibility?"
Emperor Yuan glanced at the prime minister coldly and said, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
Get up and walk back to the inner sanctum.
Sun Wujian didn't expect the emperor to leave him no face at all, and directly retired from the dynasty!
This matter could no longer be changed, and his teeth were itching with anger, and he looked at Yan Tiannuo viciously.
Yan Tiannuo automatically blocked the prime minister, Meng Qiyuan walked towards her, and the two talked and laughed, and went back to their respective homes.
The rest of the princes and courtiers looked at each other, some with deep eyes, some with cold faces, and some secretly thought that the situation was about to change.
And gradually the crowd dispersed.
The second prince walked to the prime minister's side with a calm face, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't be impatient, we will think about it in the long run, and we must not let this kid ruin the plan." ”
Sun Wujian looked at him fiercely, nodded, and then the two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Sun Wujian immediately sent someone to investigate all the details of Yan Tiannuo, and also wrote a letter to send to his son who took office in Jiangnan, Sun Wuzhe, the governor of Jiangnan.
Of course, Yan Tiannuo is not afraid of anyone's investigation, as early as when she decided to wade into this troubled water, she was afraid of bringing danger to her father and brother at home.
has asked Meng Qiyuan and Xiao Moxuan to eliminate her original identity, creating an identity without a father and mother, a person in the rivers and lakes.
Prime Minister's Mansion, Sun Fei'er had just come back from shopping outside, and when she passed by the Prime Minister's father's study, she overheard Yan Tiannuo's name.
She was curious, so she quietly leaned on the window and listened for a while, and the more she listened, the more shocked she became, that kid in the back kitchen actually became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?
But listening to what Daddy said, it seems that he offended Daddy! Hmph, it seems that if you don't have to do it yourself, that kid will be unlucky.
Then he pushed the door in, and said to Prime Minister Sun Wujian: "Daddy, I know where that kid comes from!"
Then she told her what she knew, as well as her entanglement with Yan Tiannuo.
After listening to this, the prime minister pondered for a moment, no wonder he had never heard of this person before, and he had something to do with the Du family.
The Du family's financial resources are amazing, and he also wants to win them over, but Xiao Moxuan, the current head of the Du family, has been working against him, so that many of his shops are suppressed by the Du family, and the profits are not ideal.
A while ago, my distant cousin Zhang begged to come to the door, saying that he wanted to cooperate with him to open a gambling house and make a profit of three or seven points.
He only needs to hang a name, and he can get seven points without effort, and that's it.
still has a heart, if Du He can make a show and take back the Du family to take power, when the time comes, take Du He, the Du family is not in his bag!
Unexpectedly, two months ago, Duhe's Changshengfang was sealed.
At that time, he didn't care, but now the more he thinks about it, the more strange it becomes, with his name, no one should dare to touch Changshengfang, it turned out to be a good one, why was it suddenly blocked.
Sun Wujian felt that there was something strange about this matter, and sent someone to investigate.
