Chapter 314: Tuoba Lie's Actions
Seeing the ministers nodding slightly, Chu Zhuangyan knew that he was not wrong.
"It's all for you, count it yourself, I'll wait until the end and then look at it, if it's okay, it's directly confirmed."
Chu Zhuangyan asked the eunuchs around him to divide the excerpt into several parts, and handed them over to the courtiers present, and after these people took the excerpt, they glanced at Chu Zhuangyan and started.
Chu Zhuangyan looked at these people on the side, and all he heard in his ears was the name of Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin, and the ministers below were also paying attention to Chu Zhuangyan's expression, seeing that there was no movement when he heard the name of the king of Qin, he was a little uncertain in his heart.
The people who were called here have all been on the fold, and most of them are still written by Chu Ruoyang, they naturally hope that Chu Ruoyang will be the crown prince, but looking at the emperor's meaning today, they can't guess his thoughts, isn't the emperor's candidate King Qin?
"Why did you slow down all of a sudden?" Chu Zhuangyan felt that these people's movements had slowed down and asked, the ministers didn't expect that his small movements could be noticed by him, and hurriedly saluted Chu Zhuangyan.
"If you go back to the emperor, there are too many excerpts, and the ministers won't be able to finish reading them for a while."
"It's okay, if you can't finish watching, you can continue to watch, I will use it in the palace for lunch today, and I will reward it." Chu Zhuangyan smiled and said.
The ministers glanced at each other, the emperor wanted them to read all of them before leaving, and those ministers who were originally thinking of temporarily going out of the palace to report the news also completely dispelled these thoughts.
When they went out, they only said that the emperor had summoned them to the palace, but they didn't say anything about what they were doing and when they would go back. Now I can only let those who are waiting for news outside continue to wait.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone spoke in unison. The emperor rewarded the banquet, and they had to accept it even if they were unwilling.
"Let's flat, let's continue to read the excerpts!" Chu Zhuangyan waved his hand and said.
Some of the excerpts counted by the ministers soon arrived in Chu Zhuangyan's hands, and after he took it, he also looked at them one by one, even more seriously than the ministers looked at.
Seeing Chu Zhuangyan like this, some ministers who wanted to fish in troubled waters had to get serious, they thought that Chu Zhuangyan was just passing by, but they didn't expect to read them so carefully, so once there was anything greasy in them, they would definitely be discovered.
When lunch came, everyone rested for a while, and after lunch, they began to sort out the folds, and when everyone finished cleaning up, it was already time.
"Okay, I've read it all, and I've made this purpose." Chu Zhuangyan pointed to the holy decree on the table and said.
"As for who to appoint as the crown prince, don't worry about it, I will announce it at the right time."
The ministers listened to Chu Zhuangyan's meaning, and did not plan to announce the new crown prince candidate in the morning of the next day, which made them have a lot of speculation.
Because the excerpts are divided into statistics, no one can remember the specific number, only the approximate name, and as for the power to make the final decision, it is still firmly in Chu Zhuangyan's hands.
"It's not a few hours before the last court, you guys are here to talk to me, when I didn't make an announcement, any rumors came out outside, you all have to be punished together, you know?" Chu Zhuangyan's voice became serious as he spoke.
When the ministers heard Chu Zhuangyan's warning words, they all knelt on the ground.
"The ministers must obey the will of God."
They were also looking at each other while they were talking, and they all saw a trace of vigilance in each other's eyes, since Chu Zhuangyan instructed like this, then he must not want any leakage of today's results, plus he said that he would be punished together, wouldn't it be that no matter what he heard, it would be counted on the heads of several of them?
At first, everyone was a little happy when they came, but now after learning Chu Zhuangyan's thoughts, they all feel that there is an extra hot potato in their hands, and they must hold it well, and they must not fall to the ground.
After Chu Zhuangyan finished speaking, he was a lot more relaxed, and there would be chatting with the ministers during the time he was waiting for the last dynasty, but the ministers were all trembling when answering Chu Zhuangyan's questions, and they didn't dare to say more, and they didn't dare not say anything, so they stayed up until the moment of the last dynasty, and everyone was relieved.
Of course, as soon as he went to court, the other ministers noticed that something was wrong. Usually because they support different princes, these people are in the same situation, and they even have guns and sticks when they say a word, but today they all gathered together early and waited for the palace door to open, and when someone asked them something, they shook their heads and shut up very consistently, and obviously didn't want to deal with them, which made others puzzled for a long time.
After the last dynasty, a minister asked Chu Zhuangyan about the canonization of the crown prince, but Chu Zhuangyan was scolded back lightly, so everyone could only bury their doubts in their hearts and dare not speak again.
When the undercurrent in the palace of the Emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom was surging, Tuoba Lie in the inn was not idle. He hasn't been in the inn for the past few days, but will go out for a walk and stroll from time to time, and the dark guards of the Bright Moon Kingdom will follow at first, but after discovering that Tuoba Lie has no strange behavior, the secret guards have also relaxed their vigilance.
On this day, after Tuoba Lie got up, he tidied up his clothes and went out again.
"Lord Wang, where are you going today?" The little guy behind him asked Tuoba Lie and said.
In the past few days, he has been following the back of the Lie Wangye, and on the first day, he came back after turning around the inn, and then walked a little farther in the next few days, not only the nearby streets, but even in front of the doors of some big families, Tuoba Lie passed by.
"Today is still the same as before, just take a look." Tuoba Lie didn't say the specific place, but he walked slowly according to the distance he had walked a few days ago, and when he came to a teahouse, he stopped.
"Lord Wang?" The little guy also stopped.
"Go in and have a cup of tea, try not to call me Lord Wang inside, don't say anything, you know?" Tuoba Lie told the little guy next to him, and the little guy nodded, keeping Tuoba Lie's words firmly in mind. After the two entered the teahouse, they did not go to the private room, but found a window seat on the second floor and sat down.
Xiao Er took the tea and snacks and then retreated, Tuoba Lie looked like he was drinking tea, but his eyes kept looking outside, opposite this teahouse is a small vegetable market, and people often come here to buy things. Tuoba Lie's eyes stared unblinkingly, as if waiting for someone to appear.
Just when he was about to give up, a woman's appearance made his eyes light up, and it seemed that his judgment was not wrong, if he really let him wait.
"Go and call that person to me, and say that someone is looking for her, don't say it's me." Tuoba Lie pointed to the figure of the woman in front of the vegetable field and instructed the little servant.
The little girl was a little embarrassed after looking at it a few times: "What if she refuses to come?" "But any normal person wouldn't just rely on a man's words, would they?
"If she doesn't come, ask her if she knows anyone from Izumo Province." Tuoba Lie said after thinking about it. He bet that even if she refused to come before, she would not hesitate to come over when she heard this.
After listening to Tuobalie's instructions, the little servant left the teahouse in disbelief and walked towards the woman.
"This lady, my family...... My lord wants to see you. The little girl whispered, and the woman wanted to leave without looking back.
"Madame stays, Madame can know the people of Izumo Province?" The little servant said what Tuoba Lie had told him before, and the woman stopped when she heard it.
"People from Izumo Province?" She repeated it quietly.
Seeing her stop, the little servant quickly repeated the previous words: "My lord said that if you don't come, I will tell you about Izumo Province, and you will definitely come." ”
"Okay, I got it, let's go!" It was only at this time that the woman turned around, and she was none other than Li Guangyi's wife, Liu Manping.
Since Li Luoxia's incident, although she still lives in the Li Mansion, the treatment is very different from before, although the people in the Li Mansion are respectful to her on the surface, but in fact they all respect her and stay away from her, and ignore it if she can ignore it, and sometimes she can only come out to buy things in person.
When she heard Xiao Wu's words, her first reaction was to turn around and leave, for fear that there would be someone on Princess Qin's side who would come to find trouble for her, but when she heard Xiao Wu talk about Izumo Kingdom, she thought of a person, if it was him, maybe she could get rid of her current life.
Seeing that this person agreed, the little maid took her to the opposite teahouse, when the two went up to the second floor, they found that there was no shadow of Tuoba Lie by the window, just when the little guy was wondering, the little two of the teahouse walked to the side and took them to a private room.
"You're waiting outside, don't let anyone in, you know?" Tuoba Lie motioned for Liu Manping to walk in, and then commanded the little servant.
The little guy nodded, closed the door respectfully, and then stood guard outside. And in the room, Liu Manping was completely speechless the moment she saw Tuoba Lie, and just kept looking at him blankly.
"Come and sit down, shall you?" Tuoba Lie pointed to the chair in front of him and said.
Liu Manping was still in a stupor at this time, and only after listening to Tuobalie's words did she come back to her senses, moved to the chair step by step, and then sat down carefully.
"Why did you come out alone? Don't have a maid by your side? ”
Hearing Tuoba Lie's voice, Liu Manping's body shook again, and she quickly held on to the corner of the table: "I...... How did you find me? ”
This is the question in her heart, this question has been in her heart since she entered the door, and she has vaguely heard about the Izumo Kingdom envoy, but the person who never thought of coming here is actually Tuoba Lie.
