Chapter 851: The Imperial Hall
Of course, just replacing a general can't really shake the Yang family, it's just that this is the emperor's first step.
When Lin Yi and Lin Zimo left the palace, they happened to meet the concubine who came to meet the emperor, and the concubine said with a smile that Lin Yi has been so used by the emperor recently, and the eldest princess is afraid that she also feels relieved.
"Thanks to the emperor, I don't think the dog is clumsy." Although Lin Zimo knew that Concubine Shu and Jiang Li were on good terms, he still maintained the etiquette that a courtier should abide by.
Seeing that Lin Zimo was so polite, Concubine Shu also smiled faintly.
"Say hello to the eldest princess for me, and tell her that if you have time to come to the palace to talk to me, after all, I have been very free recently."
Lin Zimo nodded yes, Lin Yi saw that Concubine Shu's previous clothes were to choose some colorful clothes and jewelry, but recently she always likes to wear some plain clothes.
As the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, Lin Yi naturally knew that Concubine Shu had fallen out of favor recently.
Concubine Shu was very polite to Lin Zimo and Lin Yi, and Cuihe said that even if Lin Zimo was a concubine, Concubine Shu didn't have to do this to them, they were courtiers, and Concubine Shu was the master.
"What do you know, I'm struggling in the palace now, the queen is in the limelight, if the eldest princess doesn't help me, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stay."
He can be regarded as helping Jiang Li before, Jiang Li is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and he is polite to his husband and son, and Jiang Li will also thank himself.
Besides, now Lin Yi is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is always right to be good friends with him more.
"The emperor has only seen you once, you should also dress up, why do you want to dress up so plainly." Today, when Li Yuesheng went to Concubine Shu's palace to deliver the decree, Cuihe wanted to change into the gorgeous clothes sent from outside the palace for Concubine Shu before, but Concubine Shu only wore a azure skirt covered with a layer of white light veil.
The hair is only loosely tied up with a hosta, and the appearance is completely different from that of normal days.
Concubine Shu tidied up her clothes, it was precisely because the emperor hadn't summoned her for a long time that she had to dress up like this.
No matter how the queen pretends to be polite and docile, she always feels that she is the daughter of the Yang family, and she is the queen of the middle palace with a sense of arrogance hidden in her heart, and she can do anything for the sake of grace.
She rubbed her eyes, making them look red, and she looked pitiful before entering the main hall.
The next day, the news of Concubine Shu's stay spread throughout the palace, especially in the morning, the emperor had already gone to court, and he also allowed Concubine Shu to continue to rest in the main hall.
You must know that the concubine must not spend the night in the main hall, let alone not leave after the emperor goes to court.
The whole palace understood at once that Concubine Shu was going to regain her favor.
The harem is unpredictable, and the same is true of the previous dynasty, the emperor gave permission to General Ma to return to his hometown to retire in the early dynasty, and at the same time decided to promote a new general, this person is the deputy general Jin who went to Ping Bandit with Lin Yi when he was in Jiangnan before.
Yang Taishi was the first to stand up and object, on the grounds that this Vice Admiral Jin was just a commander of a thousand and was not enough to take on this great responsibility.
The emperor didn't speak, just glanced at Lin Zimo.
"Taishi Yang's words are wrong, although Vice General Jin is not from a general's family, but he has been in the army for many years and has accumulated a lot of military merits, and this person is calm and capable, enough to defend the frontier."
Even in the military, the views of the family still exist.
In Dayan, if you want to get ahead, then the only way is to be an official, and the way to select officials is to recommend other officials.
The reason why the Yang family has so many protégés is because many officials in the DPRK and China are now recommended by the Yang family.
And if you want to go this way, you need a huge amount of silver.
Therefore, it is difficult for poor students to display their ambitions and talents, but those who are empty-headed can easily occupy a place in the officialdom.
Lin Zimo proposed to open the door wide and select officials through the imperial examination, whether they are civil officials or military generals.
The officials above the court were all talking, and many people felt that this method was too ridiculous.
In this way, wouldn't they, the hereditary nobles, have to stand on top of the court with those common people.
"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Everyone above the court looked at Gu Moxi, Gu Moxi was also a child of the family, how would he answer?
"The minister thinks that this matter can be postponed for a while, General Lin's proposal is not unreasonable, but the most important thing at the moment is the visit of the envoys of the Jin State."
Gu Moxi knew that the emperor would of course want to agree to Lin Zimo's proposal, but if this matter was really decided today, it would inevitably touch the interests of the nobles of the family, and I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
This must be clear to the emperor.
And since Taishi Yang knew that the emperor had made concessions, it was naturally not good to continue to insist on the matter of Vice General Jin.
This move is to retreat into advance, not only so that the emperor can let Vice General Jin take over the position of General Ma, but also so that the others led by Yang Taishi will not be too difficult to accept.
Only by slowly drawing it can it be done.
Sure enough, just as Gu Moxi expected, Vice General Jin successfully became the new general guarding the border pass, and the matter of opening the door for poor students was not mentioned for the time being.
Lu Pingyao glanced at Gu Moxi approvingly, he was indeed a pillar of design.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Taishi stopped Lin Zimo.
"Although General Lin is a military general, I didn't expect that he also has a lot of experience in governing the country."
"Master Yang is serious, I just want to share the emperor's worries, I believe the same is true for the emperor, right?"
Lin Zimo bowed his hand slightly towards Yang Taishi, and said that he did not conspire with each other, and Yang Taishi saw that Lin Zimo did not put himself in his eyes at all, and was slightly angry.
Today's affairs in the court, I am afraid that the emperor has already planned, it doesn't matter if he loses a general, so many people in the court are protégés of the Yang family, find an opportunity, and he can still arrange his own people.
He was just about to leave the palace when a palace maid came over and said that the queen wanted to see Yang Taishi.
"Brother, you're here."
The queen seemed to be eager and eager.
"Although I am your brother, you are the queen, I am a foreign minister, and a man, if you have something in the future, you will send me a letter directly."
Master Yang was careful and refused to give people a handle.
The queen also knew that Concubine Shu was in a bit of a hurry, so she couldn't wait to let Master Yang come over and give her an idea.
Some time ago, she thought that Concubine Shu would never win the emperor's favor from now on, after all, even if the emperor summoned Concubine Shu, he would only talk to her.
