The ministers arrived in front of the palace at noon, and now they have unknowingly entered the day.

After most of the ups and downs in the mood, the officials and ministers were actually a little tired, but they didn't dare to show it.

They were thinking about what the reward and punishment system for 100 officials proposed by the Twelfth Prince Sima Zhan was going to do, but they actually felt that this matter was not very operable.

Regardless of the high positions and powers such as Dazai and Taifu in this battle, the few people who have a very large right to speak have indirectly expressed their attitudes, let's just say that the twelve princes themselves are not easy to fool.

Although it may indeed be a little immature in terms of mentality, under the guidance of Princess Sima Jingling of Jinning, she will definitely grow up very quickly.

Besides, it takes three fires for a new official to take office, not to mention the new emperor's accession to the throne?

Regardless of whether the idea of rewards and punishments for the hundred officials was personally thought of by the Twelfth Prince Sima Zhan, just say that he brought it up at this time and on such an occasion, and he knew how determined he was to do this in his heart.

Even if this was not Sima Zhan's original intention, Princess Jinning wanted to show it through Sima Zhan's hand, it was not something that ordinary courtiers could easily test or change their minds.

So everyone was surprised for a moment, and then they all bowed their heads and fell silent.

Seeing this, Sima Zhan actually deliberately dispersed this court meeting.

After all, the system of rewards and punishments for hundreds of officials he proposed, and the idea of supervising hundreds of officials, especially local officials, still need to be further discussed with the ministers, and it is by no means such a matter of a light sentence.

Zhong Chang Shi sensed the thoughts of the Twelve Princes, Sima Zhan, so he lowered his head and glanced slightly, and found that everyone's faces were actually tired, and even many courtiers who were sitting behind the ministers in front of them because their official ranks were not very high.

And Sima Jingling had already supported her head with her hands, lazily and blatantly closing her eyes on the main hall to recuperate.

The heart of the middle servant has a bottom.

And his voice rang out over the great hall,

"It's getting late today, so please go back, gentlemen. Tomorrow, I would like to invite you to come to the morning court according to the time to discuss state affairs. ”

"Whoa." All the ministers got up and left the hall in an orderly manner.

For a while, only the twelve princes Sima Zhan, Princess Sima Jingling of Jinning, Sima Jingru, Princess of Jinkang, Zhongchang and Sima Zhao's cronies who had just been tied up were left in the main hall.

Seeing that the people in this hall had dispersed, several people planned to take the tied waiter to the Xuanzheng Palace.

After Sima Zhao's accident, the Xuanzheng Palace had already replaced a new group of palace people, and these new palace people had already cleaned up the Xuanzheng Palace again.

Although the Xuanzheng Hall is a council hall, it is affected by the overall atmosphere of the Southern Imperial Kingdom recently, and some of the nobles' favorite things will also be placed in these council palaces.

Although these palace people are newcomers, after all, those old people who have been secretly in the palace for a long time have studied for a long time, and they will more or less be contaminated with some of these habits.

So when they were cleaning the Xuanzheng Palace, they arranged some things that the twelve princes might like in the Xuanzheng Hall according to some of their usual experience in serving the twelve princes.

However, after the Twelfth Prince Sima Zhan saw these things, he did not see any joy on his face.

As soon as he and a few others stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, they felt that something had changed here.

The reason why he was so keen was because Sima Zhao often called him to the Xuanzheng Palace to test his knowledge because he deliberately wanted to be a good brother at that time.

Sima Zhan was thinking in his heart that he couldn't show his flaws in front of Sima Zhao, and he was secretly observing the Xuanzheng Hall in front of him.

In his impression, the Xuanzheng Hall was supposed to be the place where the emperor and the ministers discussed and argued, but Sima Zhao turned it into his own dormitory, lived in the Xuanzheng Hall every day, and placed a soft couch for himself, which was very comfortable.

In this way, it seems that Sima Zhao is like a good emperor who forgets to sleep and eat, is conscientious, and dedicated, and is busy with state affairs all the time.

But those who know the inside story know that the soft couch is actually what the Sima usually uses for fun.

He closed the door of the palace on weekdays, called some people from the palace to stop him at the door, and then began his "entertainment" link.

This link naturally needs those subordinates who have inadvertently angered Sima Zhao.

He continued to abuse these palace people, and it was not until these palace people were all dying that Sima Zhao withdrew his hand.

Among the palace people who are waiting here in the Xuanzheng Palace, it is not that they do not know about such things. But they are just low-status palace people, what do these nobles want to do, how can they put their beaks, and resist, it is even more impossible.

So this matter was silently concealed until Brother Xiaoliu died.

Sima Zhao likes to place some decorations he likes in this Xuanzheng Hall on weekdays, so that a Xuanzheng Hall that should be serious looks like a few extravagant personal bedrooms.

When Sima Zhan was looking at it, he secretly didn't like this kind of Xuanzheng Hall in his heart.

He grew up in the court, saw many different kinds of people, and also saw many kinds of residences, and knew that not everyone could live in a gorgeous palace and live a luxurious life like those nobles in high positions in the former palace.

At the fork in the road in his life, he met Sima Jingling, who brought him out of that dilapidated place, he should have admired and enjoyed this luxurious life, but when he saw these things, he only felt disgusted.

In the past, under Sima Zhao's nose, he had to accept some of Sima Zhao's last time, but for himself, he was actually very disgusted with these seemingly luxurious, but actually useless placements.

Therefore, these palace people imagined that the Xuanzheng Hall was arranged according to the preferences of the Twelve Princes Sima Zhan on weekdays, but in fact, Sima Zhan didn't like these things, and it can be said that he happened to bump into Sima Zhan's dislike.

However, Sima Zhan only frowned, but did not dispose of these palace people, nor did he let these palace people remove these things.

Although these things entered Sima Zhan's eyes at once, they were still within the range of tolerability.

At present, there are still some important matters to negotiate with Sima Jingling and others, so Sima Zhao directly asked people to prepare meals and send them to the Xuanzheng Palace.

The palace people cautiously "snorted".

Just now, the moment the new emperor entered the Xuanzheng Palace, his brows began to wrinkle unconsciously, which really made people feel worried.

Although they had learned about Sima Zhan's daily behavior and rest with the palace people who had served Sima Zhan at the beginning, they still had no confidence in their hearts.

So as soon as Sima Zhan frowned, the palace people were afraid that there was something wrong with whether he did it himself.

As a result, Sima Zhan just said plainly and asked them to go get the meal, and then he didn't say anything more.

The palace people were a little incredulous.

Just as they were in a trance and didn't know what was going on, they were about to go out according to Sima Zhan's instructions.

Unexpectedly, Sima Jingling stopped all these palace people, and seemed to order very casually: "By the way, take away all these messy things in the palace, Xuanzheng Hall should be serious."

But the current way it looks is also casually overdone. ”

As soon as the palace people heard Sima Jingling speak, their whole bodies tensed.

When she heard what Sima Jingling was talking about, her face turned pale one by one, as if she had done something wrong, and quickly put away all the messy things in the hall, packed them up and took them away.

Sima Zhan saw these reactions in his eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He looked a little helpless, and said to Sima Jingling: "These palace people are also pitiful, the hierarchy in the harem is strict, and once something goes wrong, they will be personally punished by the head of the sect." Therefore, I want to improve the treatment of the people in this palace, so that they can contribute to him willingly. ”

Sima Jingling had already found a place to sit down on her own.

She pulled Apu, and this time she directly found a comfortable seat and leaned directly into Apu's arms.

She didn't comment on Sima Zhan's thoughts. As she herself said, from the moment she went to the temple, she was already an "idler" who just wanted to be free from power.

All the big and small affairs are handled by Sima Zhan personally, and when there is a problem, he will consult Sima Jinghan. When Sima Zhan really has the ability to take charge on his own, Sima Jingling plans to give herself a vacation.

The ministers still have a lot to say, but they don't seem to know what to say.

It's just that the gaze that looked at Sima Jingling was a little more complicated and awe-inspiring.

Sima Jingling didn't say anything, but she was a little satisfied.

She looked at the Twelve Princes, ready to hand over the next matter to the Twelve Princes to solve, so that he could occupy a position in the hearts of the ministers,

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Twelfth Prince was slightly nervous, but when he saw Sima Jingling's eyes, he knew that he was giving himself a chance, so he calmed himself down, and worked hard to show what he usually learned, so as not to disappoint Sima Jingling.

He stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the ministers with a serious expression.

Although he looked a little young, and his height would be only the waist of all the ministers present, from the moment he entered the main hall, he walked towards where he should go step by step with great poise.

The waiter who was pulled up by Sima Zhao, because of Sima Zhao's defeat, he was also tied up by the guards brought by Sima Jingling.

However, at the moment, Sima Jingling still needed to be present from him, so the guards pressed him in a corner of the hall and waited for Sima Jingling's departure.

In this way, the middle attendant returned to the position he was most familiar with and became the first attendant by the emperor's side.

He respectfully guided the Twelve Princes to the throne, and then stepped aside, waiting for the Twelve Princes' orders at any time.

So, I heard the twelve princes say in a young but calm voice:

"Sima Zhao's guilt is far more than that, his character has actually been hinted at for a long time. Let's take this opportunity and sort them all out. ”

A few more will be added, and each one will be shocking.

These palace people nodded, acknowledging the doubts of the twelve princes.

"So that's ......," the Twelve Princes muttered, his expression looking a little stunned, "In that case, all the outward manifestations of the Sin Emperor are just illusions that he deliberately created. ”

"But......" Seeing that the Twelve Princes seemed to sigh, some of these palace people were bold enough to say directly to the Twelve Princes, "But a few of us feel that the former Sin Emperor is hateful, but also a little pitiful. ”

"Huh? How do you say that? The Twelve Princes showed a little bit of crystal light at the right time, as if they wanted to extract a little bit of innocence and warmth from Sima Zhao's dirty image.

And what these palace people said next was just to express it more clearly to a two-faced person like Sima Zhao.

They said: "Actually, when the former Sin Emperor was gentle, he was really gentle.

He really doesn't care about people, and the warm smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze, and many people are willing to associate with him.

However, there are still many disobedient people in this world. ”

The palace people didn't continue, not because they didn't want to say more, but because the twelve princes directly interrupted them.

He knew that there was a historical origin for this part of the palace people to establish a little Sima Zhao to the point where he is now, not because of the struggle for power, although there must be some traces of power in this, but this is definitely not the reason why Sima Zhao suddenly went crazy.

The Twelve Princes had clear eyes and said to them very seriously, and also to everyone in the palace:

"Although it seems that the former Sin Emperor did all this for a reason, it is undeniable that he did these acts for a reason. So, I don't think it's because we sympathize with him and feel that he has extenuating circumstances. ”

Everyone nodded, feeling that what the Twelve Princes said was still reasonable.

However, at this time, the other part, which was once brought out by Wang Yuxi from the Wang family and had been serving by his side, and was later sent to Sima Zhao, seemed to have different ideas.

They are neither as panicked, frightened, and indignant as those palace people who have not been serving for long, nor as calm as those palace people who have been in the palace for a long time, and they are like a few hypocritically saying some specious things.

They are truly neither humble nor arrogant, and they are completely speaking for the master they have seen since childhood and serve them wholeheartedly.

They said, "Why did Your Majesty make such a decision, and should you no longer listen to the opinions of our old slaves?" ”

Sima Jingling had already begun to stare intently at the situation in the hall at this time.

These old slaves, in fact, are the most difficult challenges she has set up for the Twelve Princes.

If it is handled well, then it can be said that the ascension of this throne will be effortless, and it will leave an extremely intelligent and wise impression in the hearts of the ministers; But if it is not handled well, then this position will be the reason for another power struggle.

She couldn't help but look in the direction of the captain, wanting to see what kind of expression the captain would show for the current situation. But I didn't expect the captain to be looking at her.

So Sima Jingling's face changed instantly, turned her head, and continued to pay attention to the response of the Twelve Princes.
