Yanjing.

The Empress Dowager suddenly summoned a meeting of the princes and ministers.

When the news reached Aobai's ears, he couldn't help but wonder what the palace meant, and why he held a meeting of the princes and ministers.

The incident happened suddenly, and the edict in the palace had already been issued, and Ao Bai could not stop it.

Fortunately, more than half of the members who participated in the Council of Princes and Ministers were from the Ao Bai Party, so Ao Bai felt that even if the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with many recent affairs, she could not shake his status as an auxiliary minister, so he immediately ordered all the people who were eligible to participate in the Council of Princes and Ministers in Beijing to enter the palace.

I want to see what kind of medicine the woman sells in her gourd.

He also ordered his younger brother Zhuo Butai, who controlled the palace ban, to secretly guard against it, and deployed his cronies and guards to respond at any time.

At the same time, his nephew Saiben, who was in charge of the infantry army commander Yamen, had to close the nine gates, and draw strong soldiers to wait outside the imperial city.

If the Empress Dowager listens to Sukh Saha's slander and really wants to be detrimental to him, then he can't sit idly by!

As the morning bell rang, the heavy palace gates of the Forbidden City slowly opened.

On the jade pier outside the Qianqing Gate, the throne covered with bright yellow satin embroidered with a flying dragon has been set up, and under the jade steps on both sides of the throne, there are two rows of seats carved with dragons and phoenixes placed side by side under the jade steps on both sides of the throne, which is the seat prepared for the ministers of the king of parliament.

Those who are eligible to participate in the Council of Princes and Ministers are the Eight Banners, Auxiliary Ministers, Manchu and Han Scholars, Ministers of the Interior, and Imperial Ministers.

No more than 50 people in total.

Among these 50 people, the Aobai party accounts for more than 30.

Almost all of the Manchu and Han scholars in the six departments worship the party, and half of the scholars in the cabinet only worship the head of the horse.

After receiving the notice of worship, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers Asiha, the secretary of the Ministry of War and the official of the Red Banner Manchuria, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Ministers and the Minister of Manchuria with the Blue Banner Marse, the Ministry of Rites Lang Tai Bitu, and the scholar Wu Gesai entered the palace as soon as they received the notice of Ao Bai.

The rest of the officials also arrived in a hurry, and many people were confused, and they didn't know why they suddenly opened a meeting of the princes and ministers.

The three flags, the two yellow and the white are led by the emperor himself, and the other five flags are each responsible for the banner.

The owner of the white flag is served by Prince Su Hao Gezi Fushou;

The main red flag is served by Prince Li, Prince Daishan Sun Kang, and Prince Jieshu;

The main inlaid red flag is served by the great-grandson of Prince Li Daishan, Doro Shuncheng, the king of the county, Leerjin;

The main blue flag is served by Yue Le, the prince of Abatai Zi'an;

The blue flag is headed by Prince Zheng Zilharang Sundessai.

The seats of the five hat kings are placed alongside the vassals.

Although they are the masters of the Eight Banners, the power of the five Aixin Jueluo princes is actually inferior to that of the auxiliary ministers.

Because, the auxiliary minister represents the emperor.

If they are placed above the vassals, they are deceiving the king.

It is somewhat inappropriate to be placed under the auxiliary ministers, so they are juxtaposed.

In fact, since the establishment of the capital of each flag, the status and power of the flag owner have been weakened a lot compared with before, and it is difficult to raise arms and call the whole flag to respond as before.

After the five flag owners sat down, they all whispered because they didn't know why the Empress Dowager convened a meeting of princes and ministers.

Among them, Desai, the owner of the blue flag, was only twelve years old, and the affairs of the flag were not managed by him, but by one of the auxiliary ministers, Kubilon.

The rest are also not very old, the red flag lord Prince Kang Jieshu is only 19 years old, the red flag lord and Shuncheng County King Leerjin is 18 years old, only the blue flag lord and Prince An Yue Le is the oldest, 39 years old this year.

The five banner lords really had influence on the court was the eldest Prince An, Yue Le.

However, Yue Le did not hold a position except for managing the affairs of the sect.

It is rumored that the reason is that the Empress Dowager does not like this Prince An, because before the death of the first emperor Shunzhi, she wanted to pass the throne to her elderly cousin Yue Le, instead of passing it on to Xuanye, who was favored and carefully cultivated by her mother.

If Shunzhi really passed the throne to Yue Le back then, the empress dowager would have become the uncle of the new emperor, and she would no longer have the dignity of the past.

The Eight Banners will also face a new round of reshuffle, and the positive blue flag led by Yue Le himself will inevitably ascend to heaven, and the two yellow flags and the positive white flag will definitely be downgraded by one.

Therefore, both up and down opposed Shunzhi's cousin Yue Le.

In the end, the throne was still passed to Xuan Ye, who was only eight years old, which meant that Yue Le, the "prince" who was favored by the first emperor in the prime of life, would definitely be excluded from the center of power.

There is no need for the Empress Dowager to speak, and the auxiliary ministers must also handle it.

As a result, Yue Le has been idle in the Zongren Mansion since the first year of Kangxi, and he can't care about the government at all.

Even the affairs of the positive blue flag that he personally led could not interfere with.

became a nominal hat king banner owner.

The Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor have not yet arrived.

The Manchu and Han officials who came to participate in the Council of Princes and Ministers had basically arrived, and the Manchu and Han classes were divided into their own areas.

Looking from the jade steps, the red top looks very eye-catching.

In the crowd, Ao Bai was the most eye-catching, and as far as his eyes could see, except for Yue Le, those few young flag owners couldn't help but subconsciously avoid his sight.

Seeing that Yue Le dared to look directly at him, Ao Bai couldn't help but snort slightly, and said to Kubilong, who was sitting beside him: "Prince An is really going to be the emperor, and I am afraid that you and I will die a long time ago." ”

"Shaobao doesn't have to care, there is that woman here, why should we take precautions?"

The "woman" that he was referring to in his mouth was, of course, the Empress Dowager who was extremely dissatisfied with Yue Le.

In this regard, their interests and those of the Empress Dowager are actually one.

The throne can only be inherited by the descendants of Taizong, how can it be the turn of the descendants of Taizong's brothers.

Ao Bai frowned: "What does she mean?" ”

"I'll have to ask him."

Suppilon's gaze fell on the face of Sukh Saha, who was separated by one in his right hand, meaning that Sukh Saha, a traitor, counted in his stomach.

Sukh Saha, who was sitting alone, looked very lonely, and from the time he entered the palace to the present, no one from the other flags except for the white flag had greeted him.

The vacant spot in the middle is Sony's.

The old guy still hasn't appeared.

Even if his granddaughter was designated as the queen by the empress dowager.

"The Empress Dowager, the emperor has arrived!"

With the screams of the eunuchs, Xiao Kangxi, who was only eleven years old, walked out of the Qianqing Gate slowly in a crown and court clothes.

The ministers shouted three times long live.

Glancing at the ministers and ministers, Kangxi didn't know what to do, instinctively looked at the imperial grandmother beside him, and after the imperial grandmother nodded to his encouragement, he hurriedly waved his little hand upwards and raised his voice: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" ”

"Long live thanks!"

The Manchu and Han princes and ministers in the audience once again shouted long live, and then each sat down.

After everyone sat down, under the instruction of Aobai, Ji Bilong stepped forward and said: "The Council of Princes and Ministers was supposed to be convened by the auxiliary ministers, but the ministers are on duty today, but they don't know the content of the meeting, and I ask the Empress Dowager to explain it. ”

The tone was a bit questioning.

That is, why did you, Bumu Butai, convene a council of princes and ministers without the permission of the auxiliary ministers.

I didn't want the Empress Dowager to ignore the stubble at all, but just looked at her grandson.

Then, I saw that the little emperor took a deep breath, suddenly got up and said in a still immature voice: "I want to ask you, the king and minister, do we have any laws in the Qing Dynasty now?"

If there is a law, why is Mulima, who suffered a defeat in Xishan the previous time, not only not dealt with by the national law, but still commands the army on the front line? ”
