As soon as Xi Ning's decision was promulgated, those old ministers finally opened their mouths to admonish. Except for the second of the three decisions of the new emperor, everything else is easy to say, but how can he directly ascend the throne without going through the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens. This is against the teachings of the ancestors! Great disrespect for the gods will bring disaster to the people of Tianfeng.

"Your Majesty, this ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens cannot be canceled!" An old minister trembled his legs and knelt down to persuade: "Your Majesty, the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven is a rule left by the ancestors, and it cannot be abolished!" This ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is a good time to pray for the blessings of the people of Tianfeng, how can it be abolished? Please Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be abolished! ”

The old minister's hands trembled, and his shriveled face had a pair of wise eyes, although they were small. Xi Ning looked at her puzzled, why such a wise woman was so stubborn. Since this is the case, then don't blame Xi Ning for using her to establish prestige.

"Who are you? Where is the official residence? Xi Ning was unusually calm, which made many of the ministers present feel uneasy. According to their understanding of Xi Ning during King Ning's time, she was not a good-tempered person.

The old minister received the compassionate eyes of his colleagues, and knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow today, since this was the case, he should also wake up this autocratic new emperor, and not hand over the country of Tianfeng to such an unfilial person who does not know how to respect the ancestral teachings.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister Cai Wenshuang, the official residence is still the secretary, and now he is serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Cai Wenshuang straightened his back and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

And her change of attitude made Xi Ning admire, this should be a real loyal minister. Those who played in the TV series, in order to persuade the emperor to wake up, the ministers will die on the spot on the court, looking at Cai Wenshuang's posture, they are ready to die.

"Cai Aiqing, do you want me to be the emperor you think is right, do you want me to do everything according to your orders? Do you want to threaten me with death or prove to the world with death: the minister is a loyal minister, and the king is a faint king. You have bad intentions! Xi Ning's words did not fluctuate, as if he was describing a matter that had nothing to do with him.

Cai Wenshuang's shriveled forehead began to sweat, if according to the new emperor's intentions, then today he has become a traitor with ill intentions, and the reputation of this life is not guaranteed in his old age!

"Your Majesty, that's not what Weichen meant! Your Majesty, please be wise! Cai Wenshuang's straight back fell to the ground with chanting, and the ministers closest to her saw the sweat oozing from the back of her official uniform.

"Then what does Cai Aiqing mean? This ritual is to be held, but not now. Today's Tianfeng is a time of internal and external troubles, how can he not settle down first? You can't see that there is a shortage of personnel in the DPRK and China, and the few remaining old ministers are all old, how can they shelter this huge country from harm? Could you Cai Qing? has been an official for decades, you can't see clearly which is more important? "Who is Xi Ning? Xi Ning is a law school graduate, although he has not done much, but this eloquence is one of the talents that all law school bachelors have.

"Your Majesty, this ...... The old minister is confused! Cai Wenshuang thought about it, yes! The first thing to think about for the people is the new emperor, and doing practical things for the people is what the monarch and ministers should do. Thinking of this, the sweat droplets on her forehead "snapped" to the ground, and her movement of reaching out to wipe the sweat trembled and was not funny.

"Cai Aiqing, this Tianfeng needs young people, fresh blood, and vigorous power. After this imperial examination, you know how to do it! Xi Ning's eyes raised, ignoring the prostrate Cai Wenshuang and said to everyone present: "This imperial examination, there is no limit to men and women, those who have the ability will win!" ”

With Cai Wenshuang's precedent, although other officials were very dissatisfied with letting men participate in court politics, they still didn't say much, after all, they also saw the strength of the auxiliary prince, and now the auxiliary prince is still the new emperor's chamberlain, which has clearly told every minister that this matter is invalid.

"Obey your orders!" Everyone knelt down and answered in unison.

"Retreat! You follow me to the Imperial Study! Xi Ning walked down the Fengtai and pointed to the young man who had just taken the lead in kneeling and shouting long live.

"Yes!" The young female officer looked left and right, and knew that the new emperor was talking about her, so she replied.

Everything in the imperial study is familiar to Xi Ning, she has been here many times, and Xi Ru has worked here. She could see Xi Ru's figure in this room, sitting or standing, smiling or frowning. It turned out that she could remember all his expressions and movements, and it turned out that Xi Ru was really just a man, a very beautiful man, so that he would not be found out of his identity and would not be suspected.

Xi Ning walked to the bookcase, picked up a notebook on the table and opened it, all recorded there was the news of Xi Ning's battle, "At noon on the 12th, King Ning won the battle and was not injured. On the 8th of the following month, King Ning made a surprise attack into the enemy camp and destroyed the enemy's grain camp. On the third day of the Dragon Moon, King Ning occupied Longcheng in the south of Xiliang and was not injured. ……”

Although I don't know what this information is used for and what its purpose is, it is certain that he is recording Xi Ning's deeds.

"Xiao Xi, Wu Xiaoai has arrived, do you want to see you?" Miao Ren said to Xi Ning, who was meditating. Xi Ning looked up from the notebook, looked at Miao Ren and said, "See! Then he adjusted his sitting position and set the note aside.

I saw Wu Xiaoai stepping over the threshold of the square wood, striding a few steps and stopping at a place ten steps away from Xi Ning, "Papa~" slapped his sleeves twice and knelt down and saluted: "Minister Wu Xiaoai knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Wu Aiqing, please get up! I came to you this time, I have something for you to do, can I trust you? Xi Ning's straightforward approach to the topic made Wu Xiaoai nervous and didn't know how to answer. After a little hesitation, Wu Xiaoai knelt down again and said: "Being able to serve Your Majesty is the honor of the ministers, and the ministers are willing to do their best for Your Majesty." ”

"Good! You are solely responsible for this imperial examination, and I need fresh blood to inject into the court, and I hope you can select competent talents for me. This time, the top 20 people will be reserved for the pre-palace examination, remember that there is no limit to men and women. Xi Ning stared at Wu Xiaoai's eyes and said word by word.

"Command!" Wu Xiaoai's loud voice was full of strength and confidence, and when Wu Xiaoai took the order to leave, Xi Ning smiled with satisfaction, and ordered Xiaocui outside the hall to come in.

Miao Ren led Xiaocui outside the house into the hall, and continued to lie on the Luohan couch next to him to rest.

"Xiaocui, the affairs in the palace are complicated, fortunately!" Xi Ning said when he saw Xiaocui's somewhat haggard face.

"Being able to serve His Majesty is a blessing that Xiaocui has cultivated for several generations, and Xiaocui is very honored." Xiaocui said with a smile, just like when she was in the palace, she called herself by her name, which made Xi Ning feel cordial.

Xi Ning stood up and came to Xiaocui's side, took her hand as if she was a close friend, led Xiaocui to a chair and sat down, the two sat down face to face, and began to discuss how to proceed in the palace.
