Chapter 20: The Imperial Whip Strikes the King
Lan Yao finally went to the court with Feng Ash, who was difficult to deal with.
The hall was majestic and solemn, and the ministers saluted one after another, because there was a more vicious and vicious queen, and the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn.
Lan Yao waved her hand and motioned for the ministers to calm down, she coughed lightly, and soon said solemnly:
"Yesterday, I sealed His Royal Highness King Jing as the middle of the imperial history, the responsibility of the Lord to admonish and supervise, in order to show my determination to speak widely and accept advice with an open mind, I specially gave King Jing a whip, do you have any objections?"
Although Lan Yao had already opened his mouth to admonish, the tyranny of more than a year had made the ministers suffer deeply, and he still did not dare to admonish easily.
Seeing that she was about to fall into silence again, the queen who leaned slightly on the phoenix seat lost no time in saying:
"His Royal Highness King Jing was known to be talented and learned when he was young, and he cared about the people, and now he is willing to do his best for me with his sick body, such a noble quality, even this monarch is ashamed of himself, His Majesty personally awarded the whip of the king, how can we have objections?"
Feng Shen unexpectedly agreed, which could be regarded as an instruction to the courtiers who were on his side, and soon a group of courtiers began to tout and echo.
The prime minister asked for sick leave, and the people on his side knew that yesterday's events had a great impact, so they did not speak out against it.
Ning Yi, the king of Jing above the court, listened to the undulating one-sided echoing words, and a sneer appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth.
The unhealthy trend has been going on for a long time, and now Daxuan and a number of officials are facing the upper level in order to protect themselves, and the lower level is overbearing and uncontrolled, and under the severe punishment and harsh government, the people are miserable.
Even if you want to change, how can it happen overnight?
Lan Yao's determination to change his past mistakes was also very unexpected by Ning Yi, but what made him feel even more incredible was that the queen in charge of the Supervision Department actually agreed to such a decision.
If he can exercise the power of supervising hundreds of officials, wouldn't he be dividing the power of the Supervision Division?
Lan Yao also knew that Ning Yi would not choose to surrender easily, but he had the determination and ability to break the accumulated bad habits.
It is precisely because of this that she needs to give Ning Yi a certain amount of power, so that he can have the right to act cheaply on the surface, so after thinking about it, she can only teach the good method of beating the king whip.
She needs someone to regain control of the court, and she also needs one thing to win people's hearts, such a threshold to change the image of tyranny and murder, using King Jing Ning Yi to maintain the friendship of brothers and sisters, implement new policies, and promote reform, it is not beneficial to be the best candidate.
Lan Yao had high hopes for Ning Yi, so she naturally gave the greatest kindness, she stepped down from the high seat, handed over the golden whip handed by the attendant to Ning Yi, and solemnly asked:
"The imperial brother has suffered all these years, and in the days to come, the glory that the imperial brother should have, I will definitely let the world know."
"This whip of the king, you can beat the king unconscious, and you can beat the traitorous ministers, and today I will give it to the imperial brother, which is to entrust the future of this great announcement to the imperial brother."
"I and the people of the world will rely on the imperial brother to plan and protect them in the future!"
Ning Yi swept away the sharpness in his eyes, and because he couldn't salute due to his physical condition, he said without humility or arrogance:
"Thank you Your Majesty, and you will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
Lan Yao and Ning Yi showed such a deep brotherhood at this moment, although the ministers present were afraid of her female tyrant's authority and did not say a word, few people believed that this was her sincerity.
Of course, even King Jing Ning Yi, who took over the post of the king whip in every helplessness, intellectually thought that this was just the cruel and unkind attitude of Her Majesty the Empress.
But this series of events from yesterday to today also gave him some hope in his heart.
If he, the imperial sister, is not playing a game, does that mean that Daxuan, who has reached the end of his rope, still has a chance to turn around......
Lan Yao knew Ning Yi's original intention, so she also gave him enough power to stir up the stagnant water of Shengjing City, and soon praised again and again:
"Okay, very good, from today onwards, you and my brother and sister will be of the same heart, and we will definitely be able to return my Daxuanhai Qinghe Yan!"
It is easy to say the words of pride, but it is not easy to practice after all, Ning Yi did not have the slightest intention of meeting Her Majesty the Empress in front of him, but bowed his head slightly, and asked in a very official word:
"Your Majesty announced yesterday that the world will change its past wrongs and accept advice with an open mind, and the prince of the country will supervise the sacrificial wine, and the Taishi Lu Changheng has a word to enter Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to hear it?"
Lan Yao was stunned when she heard this, she listened to this thunderous name, and then looked at Ning Yi, who had other scheming intentions, and was not afraid of such temptations, and immediately said loudly:
"Taishi Gui is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, highly respected, and has cultivated many students for my Daxuan, with outstanding achievements, and is really a model for the country."
"The Taishi has not been involved in the affairs of the government for a long time, and it is my honor to make an exception for me today, Xuan!"
Although Lan Yao didn't know what kind of medicine Ning Yi was selling in this gourd, she remembered very well that this Guozi who had gone through three dynasties was born in the Lu family of Qingyang, and became famous at a young age.
Now at the age of 60, he has written countless books, and the world is full of peaches and plums.
If you count it, this Taishi doesn't like to be an official, so although Gaozu and the first emperor both intended to make him the right minister, he only said that he was willing to devote himself to writing books and cultivating talents for the country.
Later, Ning Shu ascended the throne, because of the massacre of many ministers, so that all the students of Guozijian refused to go out, for the future and fate of Daxuan and the students of the world who were overturned at any time, Lu Ziheng, who saw the situation clearly, had no choice but to bow down and support the new monarch.
In any case, this loyal and patriotic old minister in his bones, although he has not asked about the government for a long time, his protégés and disciples are all over the world, and the benevolence and non-offensive methods he advocates are also resounding all over the country.
This person's influence is really much deeper than Prime Minister Qi Yuming, she had considered asking him to go out of the mountain to shake the court hall after three visits to the thatched house, but she didn't expect that Ning Yi had already pulled him over one step ahead of him.
So he watched and counted......
Just when Lan Yao was thinking about what kind of subversive impact this meeting would bring to the entire Great Xuan, and looking forward to what kind of surprise this great Confucian could bring her, it was a plainly dressed young man who entered the main hall as the voice of the Xuan Zhao fell.
Looking at that appearance, it is also handsome, with a sense of worldliness and elegance.
When he saw Her Majesty the Empress with a look of disappointment and surprise in his eyes, he bowed very respectfully, and there was no fear in his eyes, and he said without humility or arrogance:
"Grass people Ye Xingci, meet Your Majesty!"
Although Lan Yao was disappointed, she had long understood that Ning Yi would not trust herself so easily, so she didn't bother to get angry, but instead looked at this extraordinary young man with great interest, and said curiously.
"Get up, you are a disciple of Lu Xijiu? Have you written any articles, and why haven't I heard of your name? ”
