The capital, Shouwang's mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After nightfall, Zhu Changluo sat in the study, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the music in his hand with satisfaction, closed it with his backhand, and said.

"Just write it like this, Wang An, and order someone to copy and seal it!"

"Your Highness, do you want to send it to the cabinet?"

Wang An accepted the recital, but arched his hand and asked.

"No, if this music is sent to the cabinet, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, if this king remembers correctly, it will be the winter solstice festival in a few days, and the queen mother can go back to the palace?"

Zhu Changluo waved his hand, his performance could not be exposed to people for the time being, and he needed to find an opportunity to present it in front of the ministers.

In the past, this kind of opportunity is not easy to find, but this year's holiday is approaching, there is a great opportunity!

It's November now, and in a few days it will be the winter solstice festival, maybe for future generations, the winter solstice is no different except for eating dumplings, but now the winter solstice is no less than the New Year's Festival!

For the people, there is a saying that the winter solstice is as big as the year, and in the imperial court, the winter solstice means a great ritual!

The so-called major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, the winter solstice festival emperor to personally visit the ancestral temple, sacrifice heaven and earth, this is also the best time to declare the orthodoxy of imperial power, but as long as Zhu Yijun still sits on the throne for a day, he will not waste the winter solstice ceremony.

According to the custom, after the winter solstice ceremony, the ministers should be summoned, although this time the emperor will order the court to be exempted every year, but as long as there is an opportunity for the emperor and the ministers to gather, there are many variables......

"Yes, five days later is the Winter Solstice Festival, the Ministry of Rites has sent someone to send an official document, please Your Highness to go with the car then, and the Queen Mother also returned to the palace yesterday!"

After a pause, Wang An continued.

"The queen mother also replied, saying that she had already probed the queen mother's tone, and she would marry Princess Rongchang on the day of the winter solstice!"

"Good! Inform Fertude that it's time to do it! ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he spoke softly.

…………

In the blink of an eye, the snow in the capital has fallen one after another, but the people are beaming, because the New Year is approaching, after a year of hard work, they can finally rest for a while.

But the difference is that the court is becoming more and more unstable.

Cabinet, it's noon.

Shen Li rubbed his sore neck, and when he looked up, he happened to see Wang Xijue walking in.

"Motosuke!"

"Brother Zhonghua doesn't have to be polite, now it's almost time for lunch, the old man thought that he hadn't eaten with Brother Zhonghua for a long time, so he came over to take a look!"

Wang Xijue took two steps forward and said.

"Then the old man might as well be respectful!"

Shen Li was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared in his eyes, and he readily agreed.

Although it is said that it is a cabinet minister, the lunch of these two is very simple, a few plates of light side dishes, plus a little corn, it is all, if it is seen by outsiders, it is impossible to say that it will startle the big teeth.

According to the regulations, these cabinet ministers can pass the meal from the nearest imperial dining room, although the specifications and rarity are not comparable to the emperor's meal, but after all, outsiders cannot enjoy it.

However, in fact, more than eighty percent of the ministers who can enter the cabinet are already in their fifties and sixties, and they can't eat anything that is too greasy, so they can only eat some light side dishes.

Of course, occasionally the emperor's food is different, but today it seems that there is none.

As a standard scholar, whether it was Wang Xijue or Shen Li, they all followed the principle of eating without saying a word, and it was not until the end of a meal that Shen Li spoke after rinsing his mouth with the water handed over by the person serving next to him.

"I don't know if Motosuke came to look for the old man today, but what's the big deal?"

It stands to reason that the lunch of this cabinet is eaten by the cabinet ministers, but now the cabinet is not well staffed, and some cabinet elders are simply unable to meet each other, so in fact, they all eat separately.

Wang Xijue suddenly came over today, presumably there must be something important to discuss.

"Brother Zhonghua is really discerning, that's the case, today the Ministry of War Shangshu Shi Xing handed over the procedures for this military department examination, the old man felt that it was too strict after reading it, if this is the case, it must be widely implicated, so I want to discuss it with Brother Zhonghua!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it over.

Shen Li took it and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed, and said.

"It's indeed a bit harsh, if that's the case, I'm afraid that most of the governor's mansions of the five armies will be implicated, but Yuanfu, the Qi party behind this Shi Shangshu has always been the vanguard of the civil and military disputes, and it is not an accident to have this move.

What's more, Shi Shangshu is not a reckless person, since he dares to take this recital, I am afraid that he already has confidence in his heart.

Besides, you and I are Wenchen after all, if you want to protect those martial artists, I'm afraid it is...... Something is wrong! ”

is worthy of being an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, and Shen Li analyzed the stakes in a few words.

In the past few years, with Zhu Geng's entry into the cabinet, Shen's power has increased sharply, and Shen Li has naturally become a little closer to Wang Xijue, and he has less scruples when he talks at this time.

"These old men know that because of the Battle of Korea over the years, the power of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has indeed increased a lot, and it is not a good omen for the martial arts to be in power, so the old man has been letting the actions of the Qi Party go, but this time, it is a bit excessive......

What's more, now that His Royal Highness King Shou has returned to Beijing, there is no eyebrow for marriage, if he divides his energy to suppress the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the old man is worried that he will not be able to get benefits at both ends! ”

Wang Xijue hesitated for a moment, frowned and spoke.

As an official to his point, he can already compare with Zaifu in the past, and he considers problems more from the national level, rather than for his own selfish interests.

As a civil official, he naturally knew that now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and with the acquiescence of the emperor, he could knock the military ministers into the abyss.

But as a first assistant, he felt that it was too inappropriate to do so......

"Besides, the complementarity of civil and military is the right way, although those generals are short-tempered and don't know the general situation, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty needs them to guard, not to mention that now His Majesty Chen Bing Liaodong, obviously to prevent the resurgence of the Wa Kingdom, the Jurchen tribes have become more and more restless in recent years, it is said that Nurhachi has annexed many Jurchen tribes, and now they are still planning to do Jurchen writing, and the heart of disobedience has faintly appeared, if you attack the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies at this moment, I am afraid it will be ......"

After a moment of silence, Wang Xijue said.

However, Shen Li shook his head.

"Yuanfu is inevitably a little unfounded, Your Majesty since the succession, conscientious, although not Taizu Chengzu such an eloquent monarch, but also as the king of the Holy Ming, although there have been wars over the years, but it is nothing more than the Mongols worship the Ningxia rebellion, and the battle of Korea can be called a big war!

And these two wars ended with the victory of my Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that in this short period of time, no one will dare to touch my Ming Tiger beard, and now the peace talks between the Japanese State have been completed, as for the Jurchen tribe, that Nurhachi is a personal masterpiece, but the Haixi Jurchen is still there, and he will not move in the short term.

Let alone...... Don't forget who we are!

If Yuanfu comes forward to stop this, someone will definitely come forward to impeach Yuanfu, for the sake of some martial arts, it's not worth it!

As for the matter of His Royal Highness Shouwang's marriage, the old man also felt that Yuanfu was a little too hasty, His Majesty has not yet approved our recital, it must be difficult to make the trip, and the matter of the country has lasted for several years, and it cannot be done overnight.

It's not a good time, so let's just make a show......"

Wang Xijue was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded silently......
