Chapter 14: The Morning Meeting

Kyoto's Imperial Castle Kinluan Palace.

On the central dragon chair in the hall, the young Xiao Ganze sat there casually and majestically, his eyes constantly moving left and right, looking at the so-called civil and military pillars of the Manchu Dynasty left by his father.

At Xiao Qianze's age, he was just and weak in the first place, and young people are strong-blooded, and sometimes they will inevitably be rash. Therefore, before Emperor Wen's death, he specially ordered Empress Jin to listen to the government, so as to prevent some civil and military officials from relying on their old qualifications and not taking this young emperor in their eyes.

Queen Jin's curtain to listen to the government is nothing more than a deterrent.

However, Xiao Qianze did not see it that way.

Xiao Qianze was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was deeply loved by Emperor Wen since he was born. His forehead is broad and his eyes are deep, but he has the posture of an emperor since he was a child. And he went from being the crown prince to sitting on the throne, and he was also obedient, because ordinary people know that Xiao Qianze has a lot of weight in the mind of Emperor Wen, and no one has any thoughts about the position of the successor emperor.

Most of the troubles that Xiao Ganze encountered since he was a child came from Queen Jin.

In fact, Xiao Qianze was not born to Empress Jin. His mother was also a concubine who was deeply favored by Emperor Wen during her lifetime, but unfortunately she died in childbirth when she gave birth to herself.

Queen Jin's maiden family is the richest man in the southern Luzhou area, mainly engaged in the jade business, and now, there have been rumors that the Luzhou Jin family is rich enough to rival the country.

Because of the financial difficulties of the imperial court during the time of Emperor Jing, the Luzhou Jin family generously helped, and Emperor Jing married the youngest daughter of the Luzhou Jin family as a concubine. Later, when Emperor Wen was still the crown prince, Emperor Jing felt that the daughter of the Jin family was virtuous and virtuous, and she was a good seedling to be the queen, so he summoned her own niece of the concubine into the palace and made her a concubine for Emperor Wen.

This concubine is the current Queen Jin.

Although the imperial treasury is now sufficient, sometimes the southern disaster relief is handed over to the Luzhou Jin family, and the gold and silver in the treasury always have to be reserved for wartime.

Therefore, this Golden Queen has such a rich and rival mother's family as a backer, and she is also the identity of the mother of the world, so she can naturally shock the civil and military affairs of this Manchu Dynasty.

In the memory of the young Xiao Qianze, this Jin family has never given himself a good look because he is not biological. In the past, when I was a child, I was sometimes punished for kneeling outside the house all night because I couldn't memorize a poem.

The strictness since childhood, in Xiao Qianze's eyes, is just a means for Queen Jin to vent.

Even if he is now the emperor, this Golden Empress is still controlling herself behind her back, and Xiao Ganze is miserable.

......

After Xiao Ganze finished examining the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that those envoys from the Northern Barbarians have just left, you have all seen their arrogant and domineering attitude in the past few days, I don't know what you think?"

After a period of silence, Li An, the secretary of the Criminal Department, lowered his head slightly, walked out of the queue, and stood in the center of Xiao Qianze's sight: "Your Majesty, the minister has ideas. ”

Xiao Qianze had a smile on his face and asked, "Li Aiqing, what do you think?"

Although Li An is already a little old, his voice is still extremely loud: "The minister wants to arrest the three people, all of whom are Northern Barbarians. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ganze was also excited when he heard it, his Uncle Li was really wearing a pair of pants with him, and when he leaned forward, Xiao Ganze only heard the voice of the Golden Queen behind him faintly: "Don't be impatient." ”

"Hmm. Only then did Xiao Qianze sit up straight again and asked, "Li Aiqing, who are these three Northern Barbarians, and what crimes have they committed?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers witnessed with their own eyes in the Sifang Inn a few days ago in the Sifang Inn, Prince Zarzhen in the Aobei Mission, who killed a civilian old man, accompanied by two escorts, Hasuo and Jindazai, who were also accomplices. As soon as Li An's words fell, Xiao Ganze immediately couldn't sit still: "What?

Li An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Rong Chen continued to speak carefully." The minister was originally indignant and wanted to arrest someone, but he listened to the owner of the Quartet Inn tell what happened, and it was the old man who insulted Prince Zarzhen first and grabbed the knife later, so he suffered bad luck, so he has been unable to arrest him. Last night, the minister didn't sleep all night, according to the strict law of our court, even if someone has a testimony first, killing people is not a trivial matter. According to the usual practice, the murderer must be detained in a prison, and after a clear interrogation, he will confess his guilt. ”

After Li An finished a long sentence, Xiao Qianze shouted: "Someone is coming, pass on my message, and order General Ji Hu to stop these three people at Jiaxing Pass, bring them back to Kyoto, and I will try them personally!"

"Your Majesty, by all means!" As soon as Xiao Qianze spoke, there was an old voice of the dragon bell, and this voice was still a familiar and annoying trembling sound.

Standing out of the queue was the eighty-year-old Prime Minister Qin Hui.

This Qin Hui is also the pillar left by Emperor Wen to himself, but unfortunately, Xiao Qianze is not familiar with him, and he can't talk together.

On the contrary, Empress Jin attaches great importance to this Qin Hui.

Xiao Qianze frowned a little displeased and asked: "Prime Minister Qin, I am in court of the law, the Son of Heaven has broken the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, could it be that these three Northern Barbarians are so arrogant that they killed people in my Kyoto, shouldn't they be arrested?"

"The minister has no such intentions, Your Majesty!" This Qin Hui looked innocent, and said bitterly: "But not to mention that this matter is all because of that old man, even if those three people have the idea of killing people, Your Majesty must not act rashly." ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Xiao Ganze slapped the dragon chair angrily, and some of the civil and military bodies of the Manchu Dynasty trembled, while others drooped their eyelids and continued to stand motionless.

Behind Xiao Qianze, a soft snort from the Golden Queen signaled that Xiao Ganze had lost his temper.

Qin Hui's old body also shook with Xiao Qianze's beat, but his thoughts were still very clear: "Your Majesty is a little restless. In the past few days, in the court, His Majesty's majesty has shocked the envoys of the Northern Barbarians, making them greatly reduced, which is the luck of the country. Now that the Northern Barbarian Army is in full swing, it is also a good opportunity for His Majesty to recuperate and recuperate. In another twenty years, His Majesty's elite soldiers will be like clouds, and when Tuoba Rui grows old, it will be the day when His Majesty will show his ambitions!"

Qin Hui may have been a little excited, and coughed twice when he said this, and then said: "Those who have become big things since ancient times are not informal. Your Majesty must not sacrifice the peace of my dynasty for the sake of this old man!"

There was silence for a while, Xiao Qianze's face was a little ugly, his anger was beyond words, and when he stared at this old prime minister Qin Hui, he couldn't see his eyes.

Helplessly, Xiao Ganze looked at Li An again, hoping that he could have an explanation to dismiss Qin Hui's opinion, and this matter was seconded by a minister to bring Xiao Ganze back to reality.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" always has the first sentence, the second sentence, and the third sentence, and the number of people who say it every time increases.

Xiao Qianze's last life-saving straw, Li An, sighed lightly, but he was powerless to refute.

Xiao Ganze was completely disappointed, and Liang Jiufang said lightly: "I will only give you ten years at most. In the past ten years, I want to see the wealth of the people, I want to see the millions of iron horsemen in Saibei, I will personally step on the head of the king of the Aobei Kingdom to ascend to his throne, and then tell the world that there is no second king under me!"
