What is the Imperial Hall?

The court is an imperial game.

If the emperor has great power in his hands, the emperor can make or change the rules, and the price of doing so is nothing more than the loss of some of his prestige.

But throughout history, few emperors will revise it, unless they have already murderous intentions and have wiped out a group of people.

In fact, the highest power of the emperor is not to modify the rules, but the final interpretation is in his own hands, and he is good at using the rules and making good use of them to check and balance, which is the art of the emperor.

In the court, looking at the reaction of the hundred officials, and also looking at Liu Yanming, who was silent, Jiang Ling felt indescribably cool in his heart.

Never since she ascended the throne has she won so thoroughly as she does today.

But the only thing she is worried about at the moment is that Li Jie can't withstand the pressure and privately cedes the right to choose the site to Liu Yanming, if that's the case, then all the work will be wasted.

"Since Li Aiqing is willing to take over this matter, in seven days, let me know where to choose the site."

In order to make things a little more tortuous, Jiang Ling deliberately postponed it for seven days, and the longer it was, the more variables there were.

After saying this, Chu Yunrou on the side immediately spoke: "Retreat." ”

At that moment, Jiang Ling left, and the hundred officials shouted long live, and then the hundred officials left and walked out of the hall.

The scene is very eerie.

In the past, when hundreds of officials retired from the court, they would discuss a lot of things, but this time it was unusually quiet.

After half a ring, after walking out of the palace, a voice finally sounded.

"Li Shangshu, it's really hidden, such a big thing as the right to choose a location was handed over to Li Shangshu, Li Shangshu is afraid that he doesn't know how much he said these days."

It was the Liu Party official who spoke out and sneered at Li Jie.

Hearing this, Li Jie really couldn't say it, if it was a normal time, he could explain a few words, but the problem was that for seven days, His Majesty summoned him to the palace late at night.

The Manchu Dynasty is not stupid, you said that you went to the palace to play, and Your Majesty came to Yaxing.

Do you think we have a problem with our brains, or do you have a problem with your own brains?

In the current situation, Li Jie clearly knows that he has been framed and framed by the emperor.

But the question is to explain it yourself, do people believe it?

Of course, the core question is, why do you want others to believe you? Who are you? The book of the Ministry of Works.

It's also one of the six.,Neutral on weekdays just don't want to cause trouble.,But it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of things.。

Is there no face for the Ministry of Works?

Of course, the matter of changing rice to mulberry does involve a lot, and face is face, Li Jie still opened his mouth and looked at Liu Yanming.

"Old Liuge, the matter of site selection is too involved, if you can, you still have to ask Elder Liuge for more advice."

Li Jie opened his mouth, he couldn't argue with this matter, but he also knew that he couldn't follow the empress's wishes, and he should still delegate power.

As soon as he said this, the attitude of the hundred officials changed again, and Yang Ning and the others were silent.

And the officials of the Liu Party showed surprise one after another, after all, in their opinion, Li Jie definitely slandered the empress, so he handed over the right to choose the site to him.

didn't expect Li Jie to say such a thing and take the initiative to hand over the right to choose the site.

"Indeed, changing rice to mulberry is a major matter of the country, but since His Majesty handed it over to Li Shangshu, the old man can't interfere, but it's okay to give some guidance."

Liu Yanming opened his mouth with a smile, he was also a little angry in his heart about this matter, but he knew better.

It is impossible for Li Jie to dare to wade into this troubled water, the only possibility is that the empress wants to use this way to make the three parties oppose each other and postpone the matter of changing rice to mulberry.

The gentry of Zhening Mansion can't wait, and their subordinates are waiting, once the location is not in Zhening Mansion, there will be a lot of trouble.

"Then I'm tired of the old man."

Li Jie has a very good attitude, and he just doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.

The officials dispersed.

Each went back to negotiate.

In the Yang Mansion.

Yang Ning, the second assistant of the cabinet, sat on the chair of the prince, and several courtiers gathered.

"Lord Yang, what does Your Majesty mean by today's actions?"

An official spoke up and asked Yang Ning.

"Obviously, Your Majesty has felt that there is something wrong with changing rice to mulberry, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he handed over the right to choose the site to Li Jie."

"It's just that Your Majesty has thought too much after all, she wants to let Li Jie and Liu Yanming confront each other through the right to choose a location, but does Li Jie dare? Give him ten dares, and he will not dare. ”

Yang Ning opened his mouth indifferently and saw through everything directly.

As soon as these words came out, several officials nodded one after another, believing this.

"My lord, but in the past few days, His Majesty has repeatedly summoned Li Jie into the palace, isn't there a little explanation?"

Some people frowned, thinking that this matter was not as simple as imagined.

"It's just a trick."

"There is nothing in this world that is impermeable, and His Majesty summoned Li Jie and others into the palace to create an atmosphere of great events."

"If there is really any big thing, Li Jie can keep his mouth shut, and everyone else can keep it?"

"During this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty went to inquire about the news, and they did not leak it at all, which means that they did not tell lies."

"Your Majesty's idea is good, but she's still too young."

"How dare Li Jie deal with Liu Ge Lao."

Yang Ning looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and the officials suddenly realized.

"But Your Majesty can do this is already very good, it is impossible for her to provoke trouble between me and Liu Ge Lao, our power is still too thin."

"If you want to bring down Liu Ge Lao, you must be forbearant and wait until the best time before you can make a move."

"Okay, let's not meddle and wait and see."

Yang Ning was indifferent, he only cared about whether the change from rice to mulberry could be implemented normally, and he didn't care about other things.

At the same time.

In the Lee Mansion.

Li Jie was a little silent, and the other officials were full of melancholy.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, putting us on the fire to roast?"

"In the past few days, I have been summoned to the palace every day, and no one believes us now."

"Alas, what's the use of saying so much, now Liu Ge Lao already has an opinion on us, if we don't solve this trouble, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the government and politics in the future."

Several officials had gloomy faces on their faces, and they really didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, tomorrow the old man will go to Liufu, just make it clear, Your Majesty wants to provoke trouble between us."

"It's just that Liu Ge is not stupid, and the old man is not stupid, just give up the right to choose a location."

Li Jie is relatively indifferent, isn't it enough to give up the right to choose a site?

What is this?

It's just that as soon as he said this, the expressions of several people changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.

The right to choose a location seems simple, but there is a shocking wealth hidden in it, although they know that this matter cannot be touched.

But everyone knows what this means.

If it works well, it is not impossible to make millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver from it.

With such a sum of money, it is easy for their group of people to do things.

People are selfish.

But Li Jie's answer made them not know what to say for a while, and some words could only be hidden in their hearts.

Equally.

In the willow house.

Liu Yanming was also extremely indifferent, and dozens of officials were resentful, all thinking that Li Jie had repeatedly slandered.

"Okay, you're all wrong."

"Li Jie didn't dare to ask for this site selection right, it was nothing more than His Majesty's desire to postpone the change of rice to mulberry."

"Right now, what you really have to worry about is not this, but why Your Majesty thinks it's not good to change rice to mulberry."

"That's the key."

Liu Yanming's eyes swept over these officials.

Express your inner worries.

"I heard that some time ago, His Majesty invited Mr. Guangyun to enter the palace, and then His Majesty proposed to postpone the matter of changing rice to mulberry on the second day."

"Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with Mr. Guangyun."

Some officials spoke out and brought up this matter.

"Mr. Guangyun?"

Liu Yanming has also heard the news, but he is not completely sure, and now it seems that this is most likely the case.

"Mr. Guangyun does have great wisdom, but no one can stop this matter, give Li Jie a hundred dares, and he will not dare to compete with us."

"Okay, let's disperse, wait for Li Jie to come to the door, everything will settle."

Liu Yanming didn't want to say anything more.

It's just that after everyone is gone, Liu Yanming stood with his hands in his hands and muttered to himself.

"Guangyun."

At the same time.

Inside the Wuning Palace.

Xu Shouyun's token shook again.
