In the early dynasty, it was a chore.

Although the time of entering the court was set at the end of the day, the unwritten rule required officials to rush to the palace one after another to wait.

However, fortunately, most of the courtiers who entered the court were cultivated, and the court built a number of court rooms in the imperial city for officials to rest according to their grades.

The hour is approaching, the full moon is in the sky, and the morning light is not yet dawning.

When most of the small people in the market were still asleep, in the urn city outside the noon gate, most of the important ministers of the court had already gathered.

On the palace wall, the burly forbidden army stood by the sword, and under the palace wall, the court officials dressed in various colors of official robes were respectful and orderly.

No one whispered, and the huge urn city was as quiet as a dead city.

According to the Great Yan ancestral system, after entering the palace, the picket imperial history examined the appearance and etiquette of the school officials on the side.

Hundreds of officials standing at the pinnacle of Great Yan's power were quietly waiting for the eunuchs of the Bell and Drum Division, one of the four divisions of the inner court, to ring the bell at the end of the day.

suddenly

"Bell-bell-bell-"

Three long bells.

And with the bell ringing, a "rumbling" sound of opening the door also resounded throughout the urn city.

According to the rules of the court, the door of the hundred officials entering the morning noon is not opened, and the door is closed left and right.

Civil officials are on the left, and military attaches are on the right.

However, although the doors of the left and right doors have been opened, the civil and military officials standing quietly in front of them are still standing quietly in place.

No one moved, no one spoke, as if waiting for something.

In the midst of silence,

"Dada. Da."

The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground slowly came from behind the urn city with the ruts rolling, and a carriage slowly drove to the front in the silence of the hundred officials.

The carriage is engraved with a black dragon, which is lifelike, especially the pair of dragon eyes.

And with the black dragon carriage, the originally closed noon door suddenly made a loud "boom" sound.

After a dozen breaths, the majestic noon gate was completely opened, and the black horses stopped their feet in front of the noon gate.

The huge noon gate is open for it alone.

The horse's hooves stopped, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black dragon robe slowly stepped down from it, his steps were very light, but every step seemed to be in the heart of Baiguan.

Independent of the hundred officials before, under the noon gate.

Xu Yinhe raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Fengtian Temple, sighed meaninglessly, and stepped into it.

Looking at the back, some of the civil and military officials closed their eyes and did not speak, some of them showed disgust in their eyes, and some of them showed their eyes.

And as the figure of the middle-aged man completely disappeared behind the shadow of the noon gate, a feminine voice of intonation and frustration also sounded on the palace wall:

"Hundred officials ~ into the dynasty ~"

The voice fell, and the civil and military officials entered the court in an orderly manner according to the etiquette of the Great Yan Palace.

The general entered first, the second close service official, the second prince and the marquis, the second five prefectures and six departments, and the second miscellaneous officials in Beijing.

In between walks, the original silence was also broken by some sound transmission.

"Qin Guo's son-in-law, in the past, Xu Xiangguo was also a left-hand man with civil officials, why did he open the noon door for him today?"

"In the war in the north, hundreds of thousands of barbarians have been exterminated, and this Xu Xiang has also made great contributions, and the saint must not be rewarded."

"The first Son of Heaven drove the car, did not tend to enter the court, praised and worshipped without a name, added nine tin, and now he also salutes with the Son of Heaven, how else can he be rewarded? Do you really want to make him the first king with a different surname in my Dayan? ”

"Open the noon gate for it today, and the saint should have a deep meaning."

"Heh, the face is the minister of the country, but it is actually the thing of the thief of the country."

"Liu Yushi, be cautious, Xu Xiangxiu is unfathomable, you and I may be able to detect it."

"If you can find out, my generation, death deserves it."

After entering the court, along the streets full of forbidden troops all the way to the north, after a series of complicated rituals, the civil and military officials saw the back independent of the night again in front of the Fengtian Temple.

When the first rays of morning light fall on the earth,

In front of the magnificent Fengtian Palace, solemn and solemn.

Prime Minister Dayan stands in the center, the second minister stands at the head of the civil officials on the left, and the general stands at the head of the military attache on the right.

On the left and right of the steps of His Royal Highness is the band of the Bell and Drum Division, and the commander of the forbidden army between the gates of the palace is wearing full armor, and there are captains standing with swords on the left and right sides of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials.

There was silence for a moment, and the band of the Bell and Drum Division played the ancient music, and the officials of Honglu Temple said in a low voice:

"Entering the class~"

Words fall,

The prime minister took the lead in stepping on the royal road, and the civil and military officials entered the palace along the left and right steps, and those who did not have enough rank stood under the outer courtyard of the palace.

After entering the hall, the hall is empty, the incense is curling, and the top of the vermilion pillar is solemn and solemn.

The throne of the Nine Hardware Luans was suspended by no one, and under the throne there was a low table carved with a giant python, and a young man with a face as warm as jade and dressed in a python robe was already sitting quietly behind it.

It was Li Yucheng, the crown prince of the prison state.

After seeing the middle-aged man who led the way to the hall, Li Yucheng immediately stood up from the futon behind the low table, bowed, and said with a warm smile:

"Teacher."

Xu Yinhe glanced at the other party with a flat face, and responded with his chin:

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

After that, his eyes did not look at the crown prince again, but at the screen behind the golden throne in the palace.

Take a breath, retract your gaze, and refresh your eyes.

After a simple etiquette, Li Yucheng sat back on the futon behind the low desk before the hundred officials entered the hall.

The adults entered the hall, and the two sides were separated in an orderly manner, and the eunuch in front of the hall standing on one side said in a feminine voice:

"Hundred officials salute~"

Whoa—

Xu Yinhe stood still and did not move, and the hundreds of officials behind him bowed one after another.

Because it is the crown prince supervising the country, according to the Great Yan ancestral system, the hundred officials do not need to kneel and bow, but can bow down.

After the ceremony, the feminine voice of the chief eunuch in front of the palace sounded again:

"Honglu Siqing can enter Beijing today to thank you, and leave Beijing to invite the ministers to enter Beijing?"

An old man dressed in a three-rank peacock costume standing on the side stepped forward and bowed:

"Not today."

Wen Yan,

The voice of the chief eunuch in front of the palace sounded again:

"The military plane is in an emergency, but there are ministers to play."

The court deliberated in a clear order, first to meet with the personnel who entered and left Beijing, then to meet with the border army, and then to the general government affairs.

The words fell, and there was silence in the huge hall for a moment

"Ahem."

"Ahem."

"Ahem."

Three light coughs rang out almost simultaneously.

According to the unwritten rules of the Great Yan Dynasty, every official needs to cough before performing the event to avoid confusion and embarrassment caused by two people going out of work at the same time.

Since they spoke at the same time, they would be coordinated by the chief eunuch in front of the palace.

The python-robed eunuch standing on the side of the main hall glanced at the three officials over there, and his slightly cloudy eyes revealed a gleam.

Two princelings and one second princeling.

subconsciously glanced at Xu Xiang, who was standing in the middle of the court, but the other party just stood in place with his eyes down quietly, and did not give him any eye hints.

Silence for a moment,

The chief eunuch in front of the palace also spoke:

"Qing Shilang, what do you want to play?"

On the side of the civil official, a middle-aged man dressed in the official robe of the Ministry of Rites moved a step to the left and bowed:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the war in the north is coming to an end, and His Royal Highness has already set up a tooth in Beijing Kaifu, and he has lived in the army for a long time, which is not in line with the ancestral system, and I am afraid that he needs to be recruited back to Beijing immediately."

Li Yucheng didn't immediately express his position when he heard this, glanced at His Royal Highness's hundred officials, and muttered for a moment:

"The scourge of the barbarians has not subsided, and the second and third brothers are not very safe in the north, what do you think?"

When the words fell, the voice of the court whispered.

"Your Highness Rende, this trip to the north is indeed dangerous, although the barbarian army has been destroyed, but many strong people in his clan are also wandering outside, the second highness and the third highness are all in the north but there is a danger in the north."

"His Royal Highness has a noble status, and in the military, it may affect the general's decision and delay the fighter, so he should be recalled."

"His Royal Highness erected a monument for the Beifeng soldiers, which is a move that will last for centuries, and it should be recalled to the court for reward."

"Second Highness"

Although the proposer wanted to recall Li Zhaoyuan on the grounds of the ancestral system, after the prince's words fell, the courtiers instantly understood the meaning and turned the conversation to the personal safety of the second prince and the meritorious service.

The people who can stand above this court are all human spirits,

They all knew very well what the second prince wanted on this trip to the north.

Recall people back to the imperial capital first, and you can directly strangle what you want in the cradle.

As for the Commendation Rewards?

Give a name and give some money.

Hearing His Royal Highness's almost one-sided discussion, the crown prince Li Yucheng did not immediately express his position, but first glanced at the gray-haired middle-aged man in the middle of the independent court, and asked respectfully:

"Teacher, what do you think about this?"

He believed that this teacher would be on his side this time, after all, his second brother had just committed the other party's rebellion.

As long as he, the teacher, was on his side, no one in the court would dare to speak out against him.

Xu Yinhe, who was standing quietly with his eyes down, heard this, and the eyes of the eagle falcon were calm, not in a hurry:

"This matter can be discussed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers of the court."

The royal family seized the heir, and the Prime Minister did not participate, nor did he stand in line.

And as Xiangguo's words fell, some of the Second Princes Party had no concern.

"Ahem."

Without the chief eunuch name,

A middle-aged man dressed in the official robe of the military department moved directly to the side and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu thinks that it may be inappropriate to recall the Second Highness directly now."

And as soon as his voice fell,

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was the first to speak, immediately spoke, and his voice was yin and yang:

"Liu Shilang, how is it inappropriate, according to the ancestral system, the Second Highness should be recalled, and if the Second Highness has been away for a long time and has a mistake outside, can you be responsible?"

The soldier glanced at the other party and chuckled:

"Qing Shilang, the second prince's trip to the north is an order of the Holy Lord, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, he rashly recalled the Second Highness, do you want His Royal Highness to ignore the holy decree of the Holy Lord?"

“.”

The words fell, and there was a sudden silence in the court.

Qing Shilang's face suddenly sank, and the fists under his sleeve robe clenched slightly.

What a big hat.

Don't talk about him in this hat, except for the Xu Xiang who has been silent in the court, I'm afraid no one dares to take it.

Even the crown prince couldn't take it.

At the beginning of Li Yucheng's guidance, the topic was from the ancestral system to caring for the safety of the emperor's younger brother, because he was worried that someone would talk about it.

Although he is in charge of the country, his son is not dead.

The emperor and the crown prince clash with each other, and everyone knows who to listen to.

Quiet a little,

Li Yucheng glanced deeply at the squire of the military department, smiled gently, and his voice was warm:

"What Liu Qing said is reasonable, Qingqing is also worried about the safety of the second and third brothers, and the father's order is naturally inviolable, and this matter will be discussed in the future."

Seeing that the prince had made a conclusion on this matter, the eunuch in front of the palace in the court once again said in a loud voice:

"General Huaiyuan, what's going on?"

Wen Yan,

On the side of the military attaché, a burly man dressed in the robe of the commander of the forbidden army took a step to the left, bowed and bowed, and then lowered his head and whispered:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Second Highness sent a message from thousands of miles last night, merciful to the life and death of the soldiers, worried about the northern border, and his wish to share the worries between the Holy Lord and His Highness."

“.”

When his words fall,

The civil and military officials in the hall were silent, and the people who knew each other looked at each other and whispered.

Even, even Xu Yinhe, who had been silent with his eyes down, glanced sideways at the person who spoke up.

General Huaiyuan, one of the ten commanders of the forbidden army in Di'an City.

The reason why the people in the court were in such an uproar was because of the identity of this General Huaiyuan.

The Great Yan Forbidden Army can almost be said to be the princeling's own territory, and the commanders of the forbidden army are all staff members of the prince's mansion, not to mention the generals under them.

And the commander of the forbidden army, who was sealed Huaiyuan, is an iron-blooded princeling.

In the past, when the court was deliberating, he almost beat the staff of the second prince in the court several times.

What does it mean to suddenly speak for the second prince now?

Jumping back?

In the overflowing incense in the hall, many officials looked at the prince's expression.

Unfortunately, no one can tell any clues from his face.

Li Yucheng still had that bright and warm look, quietly looked at General Huaiyuan who spoke out, knocked lightly on the table with his fingertips, and smiled gently:

"Commander Jin might as well elaborate, how does the second brother want to share his father's worries?"

Commander Jin lowered his eyes, and his voice was calm, not in a hurry:

"And His Royal Highness and the soldiers sealed the city in the north with blood, and also inscribed hundreds of thousands of dead heroic souls on the south wall of the north seal, willing to follow His Royal Highness Wu Yuan and lead the army north to exterminate the remnants of the barbarians."

“.”

Hearing this, Xu Yinhe, who had gray sideburns, flashed a flash of surprise in his eyes, and once again glanced at the golden throne above the hall, which was meaningful.

What is suddenly different from Xu Xiangguo's is Li Yucheng's doubts.

Tapping lightly on the desk's fingertips, Li Yucheng's warm and jade-like face remained unchanged, but those bright eyes narrowed slightly.

Military power

This Li Zhaoyuan not only unknowingly rebelled against the most trusted commander of the forbidden army around him, but also dared to directly ask for military power.

Before Li Yucheng could speak, the officials of the princelings under him had already acted as his mouthpiece:

"Oh, doesn't the second prince understand the ancestral system?"

"Now that you have opened your teeth, you still dare to ask for military power."

"Second Highness, this is the ambition of King Zhou."

King Zhou, hundreds of years ago, rebelled in Beijing with government soldiers and wanted to kill the prince of Lao Tzu.

As soon as these words came out, they were already heart-wrenching.

"Wang Qing, be careful! The second brother just wanted to share his father's worries. ”

Li Yucheng scolded the last person to speak, then turned to look at the golden commander, and asked softly:

"Commander Jin, second brother, does he want you to lead the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Town of the Forbidden Army to the north?"

Li Zhaoyuan did not repair the army formation, and if he wanted soldiers and horses, he had to have a general of the army.

Hearing this, Commander Jin lowered his body a little lower and whispered softly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the forbidden army must not be reckless, and His Royal Highness only wants an army formation, and his soldiers recruit it among the people on their own."

Li Yucheng took a deep breath and smiled lightly:

"And what about Kim?"

Commander Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yucheng, and arched his hand forward:

"Minister, I am willing to share my worries for the Holy One and go north."

Li Yucheng understood what the second brother wanted to do.

The establishment and the generals of the army, as for the money and soldiers, should be provided by those sects.

But how can such an act be agreed?

Take a deep breath,

Li Yucheng was about to speak,

Then I heard a loud feminine voice come from the screen behind the throne of Jinluan:

"Your Majesty - drive to~~"
