Chapter 8: Honor

Outside the bright hall, the sun had risen to mid-air height, and the roof was stared at by the golden yellow five-clawed golden dragon with its majestic eyes, silently watching everything that was happening on the ground.

Except for the young man who sat on the high dragon chair and raised his head high, everyone else knelt on the ground without exception, and buried the expensive carpet from Persia on the main hall.

From the beginning of being reprimanded by the emperor and kneeling down to this time, most of the hours have passed, Zuo Chen's legs have been faintly numb, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead indicate that he is about to reach the limit of his body.

Rui Yan swept down expressionlessly, and he had already written down the few who had been arguing the most just now, and they were not much different from what he had estimated, most of those henchmen of the auspicious prince were his own relatives, and he did his best to stir up the situation in the court as chaotic as possible.

In the hundred years since the opening of the Great Song Dynasty, civil officials and military officials have always been at odds with each other, although this is related to the different directions they have passed, of course, it is also related to the fact that the emperors of the past dynasties are good at using power to balance the forces above the court.

But in today's form, if the civil and military officials fall over more and more, it will be more conducive to the formation of a small group, it seems that although this imperial uncle is a military general, he is not a brainless idiot, and wants to completely intensify the contradictions between the two parties to tie all the military attaches together, and then use his momentum among the military generals to take the opportunity to recruit.

This wishful thinking is quite loud, but we don't really think that we are fools who don't know anything when we are only fourteen years old, and sit here and let them play.

"Your family really has good physical strength, and you are not tired after arguing here for more than half an hour, is it just now that if no one called my good imperial uncle to stop it, you still want to stage a full martial arts for me in the Heavenly Empire Palace, right?"

The emperor glared, and the earth trembled three times, isn't this just now a spirit comparable to a cockfight, now it's all wilted.

"Why don't you quarrel, why are Li Qing's family and Wang Qing's family wilting now, continue to quarrel, continue to quarrel with me, what do you think of the palace? Wet market? Are you the ignorant women and children? ”

Rui Yan threw the jade-inlaid inkstone he was playing with fiercely, making a loud noise on the floor.

Zuo Chen's heart and liver also trembled with this sound, the hall was so quiet that even a needle could fall, and when he looked around, he saw that the other ministers were already soaked in clothes, and the most noisy ones just now were already pale and trembling in place.

Rui Yan sat on the top seat, and naturally could see every move and even every expression of everyone below, and Zuo Chen's somewhat naughty little movements naturally did not escape his eyes, although he opened one eye and closed one eye on the surface, but he was about to turn over happily in his heart.

Zuo Chen looked east and west, the pair of wild and untamed eyes were full of bright light, the pink lips didn't know what to whisper again, opening and closing was very tempting, the white chest loomed under the half-open court clothes, charming and charming, obviously the person below didn't know that his beauty at this time had been seen by others, and he was still cautiously looking left and right, and he didn't seem to be worried that he would be angry at all.

Rui Yan narrowed his good-looking Danfeng eyes slightly, and his lips hooked an evil arc, and the hand hidden by the wide sleeves formed by the bright yellow brocade dress embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon was gently tapping the beam on the chair back and forth.

"Zuo Aiqing, how do you think this group of ignorant things should be punished?"

Rui Yan unfathomably set his eyes on Zuo Chen, everything was naturally as if everything before was not caused by the person below.

Because of Rui Yan's words, everyone's eyes were focused on Zuo Chen again, Zuo Chen secretly gritted his teeth, poorly, and threw tricky problems to him every time.

But I don't know that I thought that the little actions of the gods were unaware of the ghosts, they had already been clearly seen by the people above, if you want to say why Rui Yan likes it but he is transferred to bully, it is probably because he likes his expression of hatred and has to endure it, at least until Rui Yan loses interest in him, he will always be entangled by inexplicable and wonderful problems.

Zuo Chen's blue-black court clothes swayed as his body swayed, and the courtiers who were already kneeling a little trembling were a little trembling.

Prince Xiangrui's eyes that looked gentle and cunning from afar also stared at Zuo Chen to see what he said, and he had already begun to make a small calculation in his heart, calculating how likely it was to be able to pull the red man under the little emperor to his side, and the huge tiger body swayed back and forth, a little vain, and the clear-eyed people knew at a glance that it must have been caused by excessive wine recently.

"The minister thinks that Lord Li, Lord Wang and General Wei are really out of order in front of the emperor this time, and they should be punished with a grade of official demotion and another year of Yulu, and other ministers can be punished for half a year to go to the Ministry of Rites to rebuild the etiquette, and the minister thinks that all the talented and military generals standing in the hall are the pillars of our dynasty and are not easy to punish too much, but they can't forget the national body from the light punishment." Zuo Chen respectfully knelt on the ground and said calmly.

"What does Wei Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, think?"

Rui Yan turned his gaze to Wei Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was kneeling behind Zuo Chen, his deep black eyes with a nameless coercion.

"I think so." Wei Yi kowtowed.

"So let's do it." Obviously, everyone was relieved to hear his words, Rui Yan glanced at everyone and lifted everyone's newly relaxed hearts again, and then said: "Regarding the matter that was interrupted by you just now, I already have a plan in my heart, Prime Minister Zuo has been tired and tired recently, and in order to facilitate the Prime Minister to rest nearby in the future, next to the imperial study, I am building a side hall for Prime Minister Zuo for Aiqing to use when it is inconvenient to take a nap late at night. ”

"Aiqing's body is related to the country, you must recuperate well, go back and ask Mr. Shen to follow the prime minister, if there is a disease or disaster, it can be treated in time, and the imperial doctor around me has one imperial doctor, Wu Imperial Doctor."

"Your Majesty is serious, and the minister is ashamed."

Zuo Chen looked at the emperor sitting in a high position with some surprise, this old Mr. Shen is the most Fu Shengming doctor in this dynasty, and he has always only healed the emperor, he can't afford this kind of love. (Who knows what kind of heart the little emperor has set up a side hall for you in the palace, and what kind of heart he has to pretend to be a henchman, you really think he is showing his love for you, sometimes the tree is too big and will attract the wind.) )

"It's so decided, nothing to do and go down to the Ministry of Rites to receive the punishment, what should I do, Zuo Chen will wait in the imperial study for a while."

Rui Yan didn't care too much about Zuo Chen's words, he just waved his hand and said softly before getting up and preparing to go out.

Leaving behind the ministers who were a little stunned by the sharp turn of the plot, and Zuo Chen's enviable grace.
