Chapter 17: Zhao Shining

The Qianqing Palace in the inner court of the imperial city was originally a place where the emperor summoned ministers, reviewed and reviewed, and handled daily government affairs. Today's Majesty Zhao Shining has ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, and has been in the world for 30 years.

The space of the Qianqing Palace is too large, cold in winter and hot in summer, and with his current body, it is really unbearable to work here for a long time. Therefore, in recent years, he has been summoning ministers and handling government affairs in the Yangxin Hall on the left side of the Qianqing Palace.

Today, suddenly there was a word from the inner servant, saying that it was the two heads of the Academy of Literature and the Academy of Rites, and it was also the two scholars of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Officials who came together to ask for a meeting.

"Is there anything important about the two Aiqings? cough cough!" Zhao Shining's face was full of vicissitudes, and because he was too anxious to speak, he actually coughed violently, and the attendant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to soothe his back.

Looking at Zhao Shining's painful expression, Meng Hongye and Jiang Lifu became more and more determined in their hearts. The power struggle of ordinary people is really ridiculous, even if they ascend to the throne, life is short, and they are sick and sick when they are old and old. Only by bravely climbing the peak on the Holy Path can the life span be extended, and the 400-year life span of the saint can see how many emperors in the world alternate! If it is a saint, then the 600-year life span is even more laughing about the vicissitudes of the world!

"It's okay, it's okay! The two Aiqing have something to say, please speak!" Zhao Shining swallowed a cup of hot tea to soothe it, waved off the waiter, and looked at the two apologetically and said.

"Your Majesty take care of the Holy Body!" Although the two of them looked down on the fragility of the emperor in the world, the continuation of the Holy Court still needed the support of the secular court, so they still respected the emperor on this side.

After a sentence of concern, Jiang Lifu looked at Meng Hongye, who stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Yi, the pacification envoy of the Eighth Half-Elf Department and the temporary commander of the Seventh and Ninth Army Corps, has entered Beijing today. I have something to discuss with Jiang Zhangyuan!"

"Oh, that Zhou Yi has already entered Beijing! Hehe, such a young and talented person, I also want to see it with my own eyes! cough!" Hearing what the eldest prince said about the entry of the countryman Zhou Yi into Beijing, Zhao Shining suddenly became interested, and then coughed again with joy.

"Aiqing has something to say, I just listen!" picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of hot tea, and he said again.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yi was promoted to the rank of Saint Dao University Scholar in Chuyang City, it stands to reason that with such a Saint Dao meritorious position, coupled with his previous military exploits, even if he is concurrently the commander of the two major legions, he can be the commander of one side. However, Jiang Zhangyuan asked Zhou Yi today that he didn't want to stay in the army and wanted to enter the court to serve His Majesty. Meng Hongye was also a little surprised when he heard Zhou Yi's thoughts today, the commander of one side, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, was sent out like this. Even if he and Jiang Lifu had already had the intention of letting him enter the court, they had to sigh at Zhou Yi's open-mindedness.

"Ah, he really doesn't want to command the army?!" Zhao Shining was a little flustered, after the death of Huangfu Lesheng, his younger brother Zhao Ti was a pig intestine who couldn't float, and there was really no one in his hands who could take over the two major legions. Fortunately, the eldest prince recommended Zhou Yi, saying that this son was a peerless national warrior praised by the emperor Lesheng, and he was very strategic in his chest. That's why he asked Zhou Yi to temporarily act as the commander of the legions, and he was ready to officially let him act as the two legions after this personal meeting. After all, he also knew that Zhou Yi's outstanding military exploits were unfake, and he could be regarded as a member of the Great Prince's line.

But now, Zhou Yi has given up the command of the army and wants to join the court as an official, so who should the two major legions be handed over? Could it be that they should be handed over to the Holy Academy! Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Yi had already joined the Rite Academy, and he was the first holy son of the Rite Academy! As a result, his face was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Zhangyuan originally wanted to resign from the Ministry of Rites, but Zhou Yi insisted on refusing to do so, saying that he was not familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and wanted to use the position of a university scholar to be the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which is very rare!" Meng Hongye didn't care about Zhao Shining's face, and then said to himself.

"What about the eight pacification envoys and the two major legions?" Zhao Shining suddenly interrupted him and asked in an unkind tone.

"Your Majesty, I see how this is! The Ninth Legion will be temporarily under the command of the Great Prince, and the Seventh Legion will be under the command of Marshal Wen Jia for the time being! As for the Eighth Pacification Envoy, who is the official of His Majesty's Central Order, we should not have intervened. But Zhou Yi's son has a very high prestige among the eight and a half elves, and I am afraid that others will spoil the eight major affairs, so it is better to be recommended by Zhou Yi to take over!" Meng Hongye was interrupted, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and stood there silent. If he hadn't been able to win another legion for the Academy, he wouldn't have wanted to come here to ask for Zhao Shining in private. Seeing this, Jiang Lifu hurriedly spoke out and told Zhou Yi's plan.

"Hmm......" Zhao Shining fell into deep thought, the Seventh Army was a chicken rib, its strength was too poor, and it was also damaged by his good brother General Zhao Ti. These things are all talked about in the recitals of the Emperor Fu Lesheng and the Great Prince, and they must be true. But it's a pity to abandon it, after all, it's a legion!

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, he found sad in his heart that if he didn't agree, I was afraid that these two legions would let the military academy take it away!

As for the eight pacification envoys of Na Laoshizi, he didn't have any superfluous thoughts, and Zhou Yi gave it to him if he wanted to. It's just that at this time, he is a little unhappy with Zhou Yi in his heart, this is simply unreasonable! You are a dignified bachelor, and you actually came to do Zuo Shilang, this is too condescending!

"Well, yes! Is there anyone who can be selected for the pacification envoy of the eight ministries?" suddenly understood the meaning of these two people, if Zhou Yi chose to enter the court as an official, it would inevitably let the military academy take advantage of the weakness. But if the Bungain, the Rite Courtyard and the Imperial Family take action together, then the Bungain can make the Bungain return. As long as the border army does not all fall into the hands of the military academy, then let the strength of the academy be strengthened, why not.

"Back to His Majesty, Zhou Yi recommended Chahan Temur to take over the post of pacification envoy of the Eighth Ministry!" Jiang Lifu saw that His Majesty had agreed, and when he was relaxed, he said the candidate recommended by Zhou Yi.

"Hey, this person's name is not like a person from the Empire!" Zhao Shining immediately became suspicious when he heard Chahan's name.

"Well, it's not from my empire. However, this Chahan is Zhou Yi's father-in-law, listening to what he said, this person is extremely good at military strategy, and he can be in charge of the Half-Elf Eight Banners Legion!" Jiang Lifu regretted it in his heart, how could he forget to say his name in a moment! This Chahan Temur is indeed not a person of the empire when he hears it, if he doesn't say it, when His Majesty agrees, he can pass on the decree and change the eight pacification envoys from the central official to the main official. Now that I say this, it is an extraneous branch.

Zhao Shining was silent for a while, Meng Hongye stood there and closed his eyes to recuperate, Zhou Yi's affairs have been benevolent and righteous, and the matter of these eight pacification envoys has nothing to do with him. However, Jiang Lifu was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of trouble this emperor would make.

"This Zhou Yi is in Jiang Shangshu's mansion! I want to meet this Zhou Yi, and the matter of the eight pacification envoys will be talked about after I see him!"

However, hearing his question, Jiang Lifu only nodded.

"Wang Companion, pass on my will, summon Zhou Yi immediately!" Zhao Shining bowed his head with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and beckoned the old chamberlain just now and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the king bent down and ordered him to go out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'll retire first!" Meng Hongye felt quite bored, especially because he was quite concerned about Zhou Yi's matter in his heart. When he promised Jiang Lifu, he thought that although Zhou Yi was talented, he should be able to be equal to him after decades. By that time, I am afraid that this ceremonial hall has already been swallowed by its own literary academy. After all, the sages of the Rite Courtyard have all been attached to the Wen Dao Zhili, and at that time, no matter how Zhou Yi is, he can only follow the great flow into the Wen Academy.

But who knew that Zhou Yi was so miraculous this time, and he had already been promoted to a Saint Dao University Scholar in about half a year, and I am afraid that there would be variables in the future! Thinking of these things, how could he be happy in his heart.

Jiang Lifu saw him retire, considering what Zhou Yi said about joining forces, the overall situation of the two houses of Wenli and the two houses advancing and retreating together cannot be suspicious because of trivial matters. In order to avoid Meng Hongye's suspicions, he wanted to stay with Zhou Yimian Jun, but he had no choice but to retire.

His Majesty had an order, how could the attendants dare to delay, and the horses rushed out of the imperial city and hurriedly headed towards Jiang's mansion.

was talking to Zhao Min in private conversations, when he suddenly heard that the emperor had summoned him, and hurriedly came out to receive the order.

The little chamberlain didn't dare to show a trace of sloppiness in the face of Zhou Yi, not to mention that this was the mansion of Jiang Zhangyuan of the Holy Academy of Rites, even if he heard the instructions of the great eunuch Wang, he didn't dare to offend this Holy Dao scholar and the future left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhou!

"Lord Zhou, Your Majesty has a decree, please go to the palace quickly!" Without waiting for Zhou Yi to kneel, he hurriedly said the decree.

"Oh, father-in-law, I don't know why His Majesty summoned him at this time?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised, he had just entered Beijing today, why was this His Majesty so anxious to see him.

"I don't dare to be called a father-in-law, the slave is just a little chamberlain, and I don't dare to let Lord Zhou be honored!" This father-in-law's title is the honorific title of the foreign officials to the palace servant, and the little chamberlain saw that Zhou Yi was so polite, so he hurriedly arched his hand and sneered at him. Then seeing Zhou Yi staring at him with burning eyes, his heart was cold, and he didn't dare to be verbose, so he hurriedly said: "Back to Lord Zhou's question, the little one doesn't know what His Majesty means." It's just that today, the two of them, Meng Zhangyuan of the Academy of Literature and Jiang Zhangyuan of the Rite Academy, jointly visited His Majesty, and then His Majesty summoned His Majesty!"

The bamboo tube pours the beans and tells what he knows, and Zhou Yi knows it. Immediately, it was funny in his heart, this Jiang Zhangyuan was really anxious, and he just told him, so he hurriedly ran to implement it. This execution is not at all like being in charge of the courtyard, but like a small house.

"Thank you, father-in-law, then let's hurry up! Don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!" Now that he already knows what it is for, he has a bottom in his heart, and Zhou Yi urges him to go.

The people in the palace had already learned that the horses had been prepared. The two didn't say much, got on their horses and headed towards the imperial city.

The small chamberlain led the way, and even though it was dark, the guards of the palace and the imperial city were already waiting at the city gate to let the two of them go.

On the way, he met the carriage of the two masters, Meng Hongye did not stop and went straight, and he didn't know why. Jiang Lifu stopped the carriage, just clarified the matter, paid for it, and let him deal with it on his own.

Zhou Yi stood on the spot, watched the carriage leave, and then went to the palace with the little chamberlain.
