When he returned to the Son of Heaven's dormitory from the Winter Official Mansion, it was already dinner, and Ji Yan had just sat down to take a nap, when Ji Dong's voice sounded on the side:

"I wonder where my king wants to eat?"

Not again! Ji Yan frowned and said, "Let's eat here!" ”

"No. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info slave this is going to arrange. Ji Dong took the order and left.

After a hurried dinner, Ji Yan wanted to go to see the training of the forbidden army, and then Master Yan came.

"Enlighten my king, the old minister has already agreed with the ministers, tomorrow in the side hall to discuss the five-day dynasty and the return of the tiger talisman. If I'm fine, I might as well come and listen! ”

"Good!" Ji Yan nodded in response, paused and said, "But this king doesn't plan to appear directly, in this case, it will affect your normal discussion, so let's go to the hut next to the main hall to listen!" ”

Yan Shu thought that everyone present was indeed timid, so he nodded in agreement.

Ji Yan said again: "I heard that Zhang Xian, the martial arts instructor in the old lady's mansion, is good at kung fu?" ”

"Why does my king care about this person?"

"Isn't this training for the forbidden army, this king wants to find a few good kung fu instructors."

"If you want to say this Zhang Xian, his kung fu is really good, I heard that one of his spears makes him superb, and he has few opponents." Yan Shu paused when he said this, frowned slightly, and said: "It's just that his temperament is rather eccentric, he basically doesn't speak, and he doesn't understand etiquette at all. If this comes to my king, I am afraid that it will be quite troublesome to be so dispositioned! ”

Ji Yan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have a weird temperament, as long as you have real materials." ”

Yan Shu said with a smile: "My king can have such a tolerant amount, the old minister is deeply pleased!" Suddenly remembered something, and said, "The old minister went to the local government's mansion today, just in time for Situ Wang to be furious, saying that he was going to cut down several sons of the minister, even including one of his nephews, which made the old minister quite surprised. After returning home, I heard from my family that this matter is related to my king, what is going on? ”

"These guys were absent from training today, and according to the rules announced yesterday by this king, they were driven out of the forbidden army, and their status was cut by one rank."

Yan Shu was surprised: "The power of the subjects has always been in the hands of the local government, and Wang Xu has always been at odds with my king, how can he be willing to handle this matter for my king?" ”

Ji Yan smiled: "Isn't the local government mansion also under the jurisdiction of this king?" This king has an order, how can he not obey? ”

Yan Rate pursed his lips, obviously disagreeing with this statement, but he didn't say anything.

When Ji Yan saw his expression, he knew it from the bottom of his heart, and said with a straight expression: "The old lady told the truth to this king, how many of the three princes and six secretaries will be able to stand up and support this king in tomorrow's court meeting?" ”

Yan Shu sighed slightly, and pondered for a long time before saying, "At present, there are a total of seven people in the Three Princes and Six Secretaries. The old minister will definitely support my king; Taifu Dingtong should also be fine, after all, my king has a friendship with him; In addition, Si Kou Ji Jing should be no problem, he is my king's uncle after all; Zongbo Ji Yong, as the uncle of my king, should also support my king, but he is too old-fashioned, and the old minister is not very sure. ”

Ji Yan nodded and said, "That's right, these people should all be on the side of this king, which is why I called the old lady, Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang to discuss it together last time." Situ Wang continued, Taiwei Yang Han and the two of them are estimated to be in opposition, if only Sikong Xia Xun could stand on our side. ”

Yan Shu shook his head and said: "Xia Xun, his father was originally just a Simu doctor, because his sister married into the Wang family, he relied on Wang Xu's support behind him to sit in the position of Sikong, so he has always been very close to Wang Xu, and may not be able to stand on our side." ”

"No wonder, he actually said that he understood the overstretched government of the prefecture, it turned out to be a raccoon dog!" Ji Yan said suddenly: "It seems that you have to be wary of him in the future." ”

"Beware of it, this person is still loyal to the royal family, and can do things honestly, as long as my king treats him well, even if he does not explicitly support my king, at least he can remain neutral."

Ji Yan said happily: "In this way, there are at least three and a half people on our side, but the other party is only two and a half people at most, and it is basically no problem for the court to be approved!" ”

Yan Rate was not happy: "It seems like this, but the old minister has no bottom in his heart, as if something is wrong." ”

"Oh?" Ji Yan's heart tightened: "What does the old lady think is wrong?" ”

Yan Rate shook his head: "It's just a feeling, but I can't say it specifically!" ”

Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Old lady, don't be suspicious of having a dark ghost, it's definitely no problem." ”

Yan Shuo forced a smile: "I hope so!" We'll know tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, Ji Yan ran ten laps with the forbidden army. He was pleased that the forbidden soldiers had been able to master the rhythm of long-distance running, and it was much easier to complete the ten laps than on the first day, except for three who failed to complete it, and the others persevered. If this continues, the assessment after ten days should not brush off many people, which is a great thing.

After the run, Ji Yan planned to say a few words of encouragement to everyone, but found that they were all gathered together and talking to each other. He looked at Ji Dong beside him suspiciously, and Ji Dong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Qi my king, they should be talking about the disintegration of several noble children." ”

"Oh? Has it been announced? Ji Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, yesterday afternoon, the four gates of the palace city posted the king's list, and the Guoren District also posted an announcement, saying that Yangfang Wang Yuan and other four people were expelled from the forbidden army because of violating military regulations, and they were all reduced to the first class. You must know that Yang Fang and Wang Yuan are famous for their arrogance in Luoyang, and no one dares to provoke them. Ji Dong said and looked at Ji Yan with admiration: "My king is really powerful, if he doesn't move, it's just like thunder and lightning when he moves, which catches people off guard!" ”

Ji Yan ignored his sycophants, frowned, and said: "Wang Yuan is the son of Wang Xu's family, it is normal to be arrogant, whose son is this Yang Fang, can he be ranked with Wang Yuan?" ”

Ji Dong was surprised: "My king doesn't even know Yang Fang? He is the cousin of Taiwei Yang Han! ”

Ji Yan nodded slightly, and said to himself: "Sure enough, it's Yang Han's person, it seems that this Wang Xu really has a lot of friendship with him!" These two people, one in charge of military power, the other in charge of finance, land and subjects, if they really join forces......" At this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Ji Dong, let them gather, this king has something to say."

"No!" Ji Dong hurriedly went.

Soon, the forbidden army was assembled, and they stood straight like javelins, all looking at the Son of Heaven who was walking slowly with a look of fear in their eyes.

"No one was late today, yes, and the running was good." Ji Yan praised it, and immediately changed his tone and said loudly: "The four people who were absent yesterday have all been handled in accordance with the rules set by this king: expelled from the forbidden army, and reduced their status by one rank. If there are any of you who want to test the Dharma, go ahead and see how determined the king is to train the forbidden army. ”

Ji Yan's cold gaze swept around the crowd, and then said, "If you don't want to be punished, then remember the rules set by this king and strictly enforce them." Again, after ten days, each project will be tested, and those who fail to meet the standards will be implemented in accordance with the rules, and this king will not tolerate it. ”

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

This time, the voice was loud and neat, which made Ji Yan very satisfied, it seems that the method of killing chickens and monkeys is indeed immediate, no wonder so many people use it in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad!

"Excellent! Everyone continues to train. ”

After the forbidden soldiers began to do push-ups, Ji Yan hurried back to the dormitory, changed into a grand dress, put on a red jade crown, and got into the royal car and rushed to the side hall of the court, and entered the small room next to the main hall from one side.

After Ji Yan sat down, he looked out through the small window of the small room and found that there was an unobstructed view of the palace here, which seemed to be specially designed for the king to spy on the courtiers.

In the hall, the seven most important courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already sat down in turn.

The top on the right is the Taishi Yan Rate, who is currently temporarily in charge of the Tianguan Mansion, his hair is all white, and his face is quite old, but his spirit is good; followed by Taifu Dingtong, who is currently idle at home, the father of the queen, with a clear face and a relaxed demeanor, quite idle; Below is Taiwei Yang Han, the head of the Xia Guanfu, his slender eyes are still shining, one hand slowly caressing the three locks of long beard under the chin, and he looks like a master with a wisdom bead in his hand.

At the top on the left is Situ Wang Xu, the head of the prefecture government, his ruddy cheeks show a healthy body, and the phoenix's eyes seem to contain infinite strength, and every time he blinks, a fine light shoots out; Next is the head of the Chunguan Mansion, Zong Bo Ji Yong, who still has that dark and old-fashioned face, as if someone owes him eight million; Below is the head of the Qiu Guanfu Si Kou Ji Jing, with a trace of harmless smile on his round face, Ji Yan felt very kind when he saw it; Finally, Sikong Xia Xun, the head of the Winter Official Mansion, wore a court to Xuanduan on his tall and thin body, as if hanging on a drying rack, and when his body moved, he floated endlessly, which made people worry that he would fall off accidentally.

Yan Shu got the hint from the chamberlain and knew that the Son of Heaven had arrived, so he arched his hand and said: "Today, our ministers gathered to discuss two things, one is that the Son of Heaven proposes to reopen the five-day dynasty, and the other is that Taiwei Yang Han will return the tiger talisman to the Son of Heaven. Whether these two things are feasible or not depends on the established practice, and it is up to you to express your own opinions, and finally to the opinion of the majority. ”

Everyone had different expressions, but no one spoke.

Seeing such a situation, Yan Shu, the head of the hundred officials who was temporarily replaced, could not help but speak first: "Let's discuss the matter of the five-day dynasty first." The old man thought that the Son of Heaven was very good, and he followed the law of his ancestors and rebuilt the court of the Zhou Chamber, which could unite hundreds of officials and inspire the subjects, which was really a must for the prosperity of my Zhou Chamber. The old man has no opinion here, passed. ”

Taifu Dingtong continued: "The old man has no objection and passed." ”

When it was the turn of Taiwei Yang Han, I saw him brushing his long beard under his chin, and said slowly: "The old man remembers that the ancestors have a clear instruction: the Son of Heaven is not an adult, and he cannot be in charge of the government. When the son is not yet an adult today, how to reopen the five-day pilgrimage? ”

Ji Yan in the hut was sitting with peace of mind waiting for the court to pass it, but when he suddenly heard this, his eyes flashed, and his face changed slightly, what is the situation? Lao Tzu is twenty years old and not yet an adult? However, he resisted the urge to rush out and ask questions, believing that someone below would ask this question.

All the ministers were surprised, what did the captain mean?

Yan Shu said in a slightly angry voice: "You have to pay attention to what the Taiwei says, when he is already twenty years old today, how can he say that he is not yet an adult?" ”

The others all nodded slightly in agreement with the old lady's words, and all looked at Yang Han with suspicious expressions, wondering what he was saying.
