"The ministers have recently heard that there is a pirate infestation in the Mingyue Strait, so they need to redeploy their troops and horses. Rushed all the way back, the horse has not unsaddled, and I will have time to change into civilian clothes in the future, please forgive your majesty! Lieshan Zhao looked up, but before he shouted, he had to continue to kneel.

Zhantai Haoxiu looked at the generals of the Lieshan clan kneeling in front of him with lazy eyes, his golden curls showing large waves of popular lines, and the huge gold ornaments of Jing Nanguo's tribute shone on his wrists, fingers, and neck, blending with his hair.

Yutai Haoxiu turned his head and smiled at his father-in-law: "Look, I said that General Lieshan would come back on time, but you old slave still said that it may not be." ”

The father-in-law smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty still knows the Great General of Lieshan!" After that, the father-in-law gently gestured to Yutai Haoxiu with his eyes.

It seemed that at this time, Yutai Haoxiu found that the generals of the Lieshan clan were still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Alas, the general, please get up, please get up." You see that I am so happy that I have forgotten all manners. ”

Lieshan stood up.

The generals behind him also rose.

Lieshan Taining's face was gloomy.

Ma Lanxiao's eyes turned to somewhere directly in front of the council chamber, observing as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, there is a secret room in this meeting room, and Yutai Haoxiu has been hiding in the secret room, and he only appeared when he saw that everyone from the Lieshan clan arrived.

He didn't even plan to show up at all, just secretly observing what everyone in the council hall said and did, and whether they were respectful to him.

is so dark and insidious, it is really not the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Hui Dynasty.

The hall resounded with the sound of metal and iron clashing and stools and chairs moving, as well as heavy breathing and snorting.

With a smile on his face, the father-in-law pulled the stool apart.

Lieshan stepped forward, placed his sword on the wide purple sandalwood table, and sat down majestically, with a straight waist and a serious expression.

Yu will sit down.

"It's time to come, are they all here?" Yutai Haoxiu yawned, and lazily said to his father-in-law, "Let's change the afternoon to the future imperial meeting, so as not to always have to wait for some latecomers and disrupt my schedule." ”

Lieshan Taining stood up suddenly, but was quickly pulled down by his father, holding his thigh tightly and unable to move.

"Back to Your Majesty", the Duke took a step back, cleared his throat and said: "Duke Haoxing is slightly ill and can't come, and the other is that Duke Haoji has not arrived." ”

Duke Haoxing is the third brother of Haoxiu of Tangtai, born in 825, the lord of Mobiz City, is a prince with outstanding talent and won the hearts of the people, originally had a close relationship with Haoxiu of Tangtai, ten years ago he had a strange illness, and since then he has not asked about state affairs.

Duke Haoji is the fourth brother of Haoxiu of Shantai, born in 826, sealed as the lord of Saetra City, with the most significant appearance and physical signs of the Tantai family, handsome and chic, fascinated many young boys and girls in Tianshiyuan.

Yutai Haoxiu pursed his lips, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said bluntly: "Then let him not participate in the imperial meeting in the future." ”

Lie Shanzhao's eyes looked at his father-in-law, and when he heard Haotai Haoxiu's casual words, he denied Prince Haoji's right to attend the meeting, and he didn't reflect it for a while.

"What's the matter, can't the imperial brother wait for me so much? I was waiting for the royal brother to give birth first, hahaha. ”

With a ridiculous but gentle and sweet voice, the most handsome and gentle prince of the Great Hui Dynasty, the Duke of Saetra City, appeared at the door of the hall with a radiant and graceful demeanor, supporting the carved stone door with one hand, and his blond hair shining in the sun.

"I'm afraid that the boring thing like the Imperial Council will delay your enjoyment of your beautiful youth." Tantai Haoxiu said coldly, nodded to his father-in-law, and didn't wait for Tantai Haoji to sit down, then said, "Let's start quickly." ”

The father-in-law cleared his throat again and said, "The fortune of heaven is clear, and the country is long. The eighteenth of the Great Hui Dynasty, the 849th year of the first red era of Rongzhou, and the twentieth year of Yongning——"

Yutai Haoxiu interrupted him impatiently: "Old minion, do you think you have lived a long time?" Let's get to the point! ”

The father-in-law looked at the photo of the burning mountain.

Lieshan Zhao's face was expressionless.

Father-in-law continued: "The following matter is hereby discussed: the former Snow Blue City and the former fiefdoms of the Yufeng Clan and the Gezhi Clan are no longer managed by the Maran Clan. The eldest son of the emperor, Ruide, was the king of Germany, and he gave the fief Snow Blue City and all the territories to the west—"

Lieshan stood up in a hurry, looked at Yutai Haoxiu and said loudly: "The eldest son of the emperor is only sixteen years old and has no military merits, how can he receive such a wide fief? ”

The ministers also discussed: "Yes, the fiefs of the Yufeng clan and the Gezhi clan are either attributed to the state or to the meritorious heroes, why are they all rewarded to the eldest son of the emperor?" ”

The father-in-law didn't speak, and looked at Yutai Haoxiu.

There was no expression on Yutai Haoxiu's face, he was playing with a jade swallow carving in his hand, and waved it towards Lieshan: "General, don't worry, listen first." ”

"Your Majesty has not appointed the crown prince to seal the sons first, why is this?" Ma Lanxiao couldn't help but say.

This sentence is really the key.

Caused all the ministers to nod their heads, yes, the origin of the Great Hui Empire is to establish the prince first and then seal the kings, not to mention whether it is right to divide the feuds, this procedure is wrong.

Yutai Haoxiu opened his eyes and looked at Ma Lanxiao: "You are Ma Lanxiao from Nanshu?" It's the son of the Maran Hill who led the rebellion against my father, right? ”

Ma Lanxiao was so humiliated that he couldn't raise his head, but he still said firmly: "My father's guilt has been punished by the emperor. The minister Ma Lanxiao is the imperial history of Snow Blue City sealed by His Majesty, and manages Snow Blue City on behalf of the Great Hui Dynasty. ”

"Considering the loyalty of Lord Maran, I sent the eldest son of Emperor Ruide to Snow Blue City five days ago to take up his post. I also proposed Lord Maran as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Why don't you first hear about Lord Maran's exploits in Snow Blue City? ”

The father-in-law couldn't bear to be humiliated in public by Ma Lanxiao, and reminded: "Your Majesty, according to the procedure-"

Yutai Haoxiu smashed the jade swallow carving in his hand towards his father-in-law: "You dead slave, can't I be the master of a little thing, are you the emperor?" ”

The jade swallow carving was smashed on the ground, and the jade pieces flew one after another. A treasure worth tens of thousands of gold was thus reduced to nothing.

My father-in-law was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing that his father-in-law was scolded on the spot for helping him, Ma Lanxiao took a breath and said, "The minister will report to His Majesty and the ministers about the financial taxes of Snow Blue City last year, but the minister did not know that he was going to be transferred in Snow Blue City, and there was no handover of various affairs——"

"Well, whoever you like to read your reports, I don't have time to listen to you here. Father-in-law, since Lord Malan is here, let's talk about Lord Malan and Nanshu in advance, and don't follow the rules. What rules and order I hate the most, it's all shit! ”

Ma Lan Xiao is not sitting, nor is he standing.

The father-in-law said: "Lord Malan, please sit down first, and the slave will announce the affairs of Nanshu first: Nanshu will enter 20,000 horses of brocade this year, 30,000 horses of silk, 50,000 horses of cotton and various accessories, and 500,000 gold shields of silver. ”

Ma Lanxiao couldn't help but shout: "This is impossible, Your Majesty, last year Nanshu had 15,000 horses and 20,000 horses of Juansi——"

Yutai Haoxiu stared at him coldly, interrupted his words, and burst into a sharp and piercing laugh: "You also said, this is last year's number, of course this year is different from last year." ”

"But Nanshu no longer has this national strength, last year's autumn drought and winter cold, this year's grain production is reduced, silkworm farmers will buy grain to live, how can it be possible to hand over more brocade and silk than last year?"

Yutai Haoxiu narrowed his eyes: "It was dry for a few days last year, how can it be considered a drought?" As the finance minister of the Great Hui Dynasty, can't you even collect this little tax? ”

Ma Lan roared: "It's okay if the minister doesn't be the chancellor of the exchequer." ”

Yutai Haoxiu said coldly: "This is the country, I am the emperor." It's up to you to do it or not, but whether you do it or not, the tax of Nanshu is on your head. ”

Yutai Haoxiu yawned, looked a little tired, stood up and said, "This imperial meeting is not very interesting, I have to go back to make up for sleep, and you continue to discuss the matter." ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at the burning mountain.

Lie Shanzhao's face turned purple and black, like the dark sky before a storm.

Yutai Haoxiu dragged his heavy belly out of the dragon chair, and several golden gunners stepped forward to protect him. The father-in-law held the jade seal of the country with both hands, and another internal official stepped forward to hold the jade talisman.

Finally, Lieshan Zhao stood up and bowed his head to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and everyone also stood up and saluted to the Tai Hao.

"The ministers respectfully send Your Majesty to return the account!"

Yutai Haoxiu lazily waved his hand without looking back, as a signal for everyone to be exempt, and dragged his tired face towards the door.

The guards and eunuchs of the Tianwei Army outside the door lined up respectfully.

Yutai Haoxiu walked to the door and seemed to suddenly remember:

"Oh, father-in-law, you tell everyone, two days later is the birthday of the fourth prince, I want to celebrate his birthday in Shouyuan Palace, let all the concubines, princes and princesses of Changyuan Palace come to participate, and all the nobles, princes and protons in Tianshiyuan will also come, let them have a happy day."

The father-in-law bowed his head: "No." ”

Yutai Haoxiu raised his feet and retracted back into the hall, "You can be here on my behalf." The Imperial Council, the Imperial Council, didn't say that I had to wait for those who were late or didn't care about nonsense, did I? ”

Lieshanzhao and everyone hung their heads solemnly, speechless.

The father-in-law only made a promise, and at the same time handed over the jade seal of the country in his hand to an internal official.

The Heavenly Emperor's guard of honor was gone as the gate was closed again.

As soon as the father-in-law turned around, the deputy commander of the Tianwei Army and the eldest son of Lieshan Zhao, Lieshan Taining, jumped up, swept over the purple sandalwood table, and the sound of gold and iron on the case was bursting, he grabbed the collar of the father-in-law's shirt and punched him, and asked angrily:

"This is the so-called Imperial Council? My father was in his sixties, and he rode a fast horse for a day and a night, rushed from the Mingyue Strait to Tianshiyuan, climbed the thirteen-story building, and ended it without even saying a word? ”

Confused father-in-law who is Lieshan Taining's opponent, he connected a few fists, got up and circled around the sandalwood case a few times, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and smiled bitterly on his face: "The general has something to say!" The general has something to say! ”

The generals of the Lieshan clan saw that Lieshan Taining was angry, and everyone followed one after another, either persuading or struggling, and some even took advantage of the chaos to beat their father-in-law's fist again.

After the father-in-law gasped and ran to the side of the dragon chair where he had sat just now, Lieshan Taining cursed angrily: "What's it, what's it!" ”

Lieshan Zhao sat in his prime minister's chair with a grim face.

The father-in-law looked at everyone, and the gunpowder in the hall erupted, and it ignited at the touch of a button.

One of his father-in-law's eyes was red, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, he stood in front of the table and said politely: "General Lieshan, isn't this what the Emperor of Heaven wants the generals to discuss with the adults?" The old slave acts as a bookkeeper here, and the opinions of the generals and adults, the old slave will never dare to omit it. ”

"Sit down, and see what His Majesty the Emperor has to discuss?" Lie Shan Zhao snorted coldly, "Trouble the father-in-law to tell me all the things that His Majesty wants us to discuss." ”

"I am the Imperial Seal of Snow Blue City, and I left Snow Blue City a few days ago to be called to participate in the Imperial Council, and His Majesty has sent His Royal Highness Ruide to Snow Blue City five days ago. This imperial history did not step down, and asked the imperial court to recall His Royal Highness Ruide, and wait for this imperial history to return to Snow Blue City before handing over. ”

Ma Lanxiao was really aggrieved in his heart, and he was even more anxious, if His Royal Highness Ruide had set off five days ago, he would have arrived in Snow Blue City now. A prince without any talent and management experience, without the assistance of official history, what will Snow Blue City be tossed into?

"Why should Lord Maran be in a hurry? With the good political achievements and love of the government and the people, it doesn't matter if the adults are there or not? Besides, isn't it the honor of His Royal Highness Ruide to Snow Blue City, the rebel capital? ”

Sitting next to Ma Lanxiao, he turned a blind eye to the hustle and bustle in front of him, but he only focused on Ma Lanxiao's thoughts and loyalty, and said with compassion and mockery.
