Those who can come to the morning court safely today are all officials who have withstood the purge last night.

The Beijing officials stayed up all night, and they were all excited when they narrowly escaped death.

Jia Zongru is the imperial envoy of the fourth rank Youqian capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is a special case.

Officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were also detained yesterday and were not released until late at night.This person has never done anything wrong in his life, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The remaining officials stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate obediently, but he went home loudly to make up for more than an hour of sleep.

When he came back to the morning court again, he found that everything had become strange on the way.

Everyone greeted each other no longer with the usual polite words, but lowered their voices and asked with squinted eyes: "Do you know?" "How much do you know?" "Guess who?"

Jia Zongru usually abides by the restraint of supervisors not to socialize with others. He has no friends, no one takes the initiative to greet him, and he will not take the initiative to ask someone.

All the way outside the Meridian Gate, Jia Zongru found that the atmosphere became more and more subtle. Everyone was flirting and mysterious, which was very undignified for an official.Looking around, only the officers standing in the front row remained motionless.

Jia Zongru secretly wrote down the names of these people, and planned to hand over the list to the picket censor after returning to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As a regulator, he is extremely sensitive to public opinion. Jia Zongru knows that the things that can attract everyone's unanimous attention are either things that everybody hits a man who is down in trouble, or things that are inconvenient to say about romance.Jia Zongru didn't need to think too much about all kinds of frowning and frowning today, so he focused on the latter.

Jia Zongru didn't bother to join in such pretentious gossip, he followed the morning procession and followed the morning procession.

In the end, still heard a few words.

"Xuan Yin?" Jia Zongru thought, "It's nothing more than talking about Xuan Yin and Xiao Wuye's masculinity. These two people are shameless, and they don't know how to cover up their habit of cutting sleeves. It's really an eyesore."

But masculinity has long been commonplace in this dynasty. There are men who marry brothers and sisters in the folk and never marry or have children;Therefore, most of the families of officials and eunuchs only use masculinity as a pastime, and it is rare to openly go out together like the little prince Beiyuan and Xuan Yin.

Jia Zongru snorted. He had long felt that Xuan Yin had ruined the atmosphere of civil servants in Jingdu, and he had always wanted to catch Xuanyin's braid, but Xuan Yin did everything decently, so far he has not grasped the reason to participate in impeachment.

Seeing that Xuan Yin was unstoppable, Jia Zongru was a little anxious.

When he followed the team from Danxi to Fengtian Hall, he made up his mind: Although Xuanyin said he had made great achievements, he was promoted too quickly, which violated the constitution.With Xuan Yin's promotion like this, it will even bring down the atmosphere and make young people feel impetuous.If Xuanyin is promoted again, he is bound to participate in impeachment.

Today, Fengtian Temple is very festive, with colorful lights hanging outside, the guards are refreshed, the leader's father-in-law put on a new morning newspaper, and the emperor's father-in-law Ming Zhong is full of joy.

Officials above the fourth rank entered Fengtian Hall, and while they were waiting for the Tianxie, everyone tacitly kept quiet, and there was a certain eager message in the air.

The officials who got some information were thinking of ways to spy on Yan Xi.

Yan Xi was dressed in clean crimson clothes, Luoluo stood at the second place in the Ministry of War, after a one-night stand, his face was slightly blush today, and it was a bit brighter than before.

Officials who usually claim to be decent people are embarrassed to look directly at Yan Xi's face, but today they even glanced back hastily, for fear that if they look too much, they will appear to be harboring evil intentions.

Yan Xi looked at everyone's efforts to hold back with cold eyes, and waited for the Sockpuppet/vest that was going to be dropped today.

Since the situation is beyond his control, Yan Xi simply doesn't care.

Fengtian Temple.

When Emperor Tianxi entered the palace, everyone clearly felt that the emperor's footsteps were faster than in the past today, and his complexion was more relaxed than in the past. Even the father-in-law, who was always serious in the court meeting, rarely smiled.

Morning start.

On the routine topic, all the officials in charge of the five governments and six ministries were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions. All the officials unanimously seconded the proposal all the way, and quickly advanced to the court meeting in a distracted manner.

The things to be played took only half of the usual time to pass.

Some kind of comprehensible anticipation spread in everyone's heart, and the heart was almost in the throat.

Ming Zhong was still asking slowly: "Is there anything else to announce?"

The officials who knew the inside story and guessed what happened today suddenly raised their heads and looked at Ming Zhong.

The eyes are very consistent: We have been busy throughout the court meeting, so we just wait for you to read the imperial decree quickly?Hurry up!

Those who don't know the inside story, because of the thrilling experience last night, more or less know that today is to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and they are all eagerly waiting.

Ming Zhong couldn't hide his smile anymore, he was still pretending to go through the process and asked Emperor Tianxi: "My lord, do you see?"

Emperor Tianxi stood still and said: "A reward."

Ming Zhong opened an imperial decree and read the list of awards and appointments.

Emperor Tianxi was extraordinarily generous this time, many officials were rewarded, and those whose names were read all smiled knowingly, beaming with joy.

A series of lists were read, and after Mei Yun finished reading the Shangshu of the Jinhu Department, Ming Zhong read aloud: "Xuan Yin, the right servant of the Ministry of War, will be the governor of the Western Region, and he will be added to the Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence inside and outside the hall, and all the officials took a long breath, dumbfounded in shock.

The officials who knew the inside story exchanged glances: Why is it still promoted to "Xuan Yin", where is the prince we want?

And like Jia Zongru, people who don't know the inside story seem to have been fed a bowl of old vinegar. Everyone was shocked beyond measure, sour, jealous and angry.

The governor governs several counties in one side, and the official reaches the second rank; adding the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War will reach the first rank.

No matter how great the contribution of Xuan Yin is, he shouldn't have become a feudal official in less than a year, an extremely human minister!

At this point, there is no way to advance in the future.

You must know that the first assistant of the Inner Pavilion may not be able to have the first grade!

Jia Zongru is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He has been a picket censor for half his life and was promoted to this position because he dared to control and dare to participate.Down.

Cui Cong, the imperial envoy of Zuoqian in front of him, had been instructed by Mei Ren before he came to pay attention to this thorn.

Sure enough, Mei Ren was far-sighted. When Cui Cong saw Jia Zongru's angry expression today, he raised his heart and paid attention all the time.

At this time, he sighed in his heart, "It's so dangerous", and quickly grabbed the person.

Jia Zongru glared at him, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Cui, what do you mean?"

Cui Cong held Jia Zongru tightly, and said in a low voice, "Lord Jia, I know you are dedicated to serving the public. Just listen to the next order. If you still want to participate at that time, I will not stop you."

Jia Zongru glared at Cui Cong angrily.

Cui Cong bowed again and again, chattering: "Master Jia, Cui is begging you, believe it or not, I am the one who rescued you today."

Seeing Cui Cong's rare battle, Jia Zongru withdrew his kneeling position suspiciously, and stood up straight again.

Their rank is in the middle and back row in the palace, and most officials at this rank do not know the inside story.

Everyone pointed at Jia Zongru and objected, but seeing Jia Zongru was about to kneel down and go straight back, everyone's hearts were jumping up and down, and they were silently holding the wat board tightly, no one daredStand up and speak up.

Ming Zhong went on to read: "Shang Baiheng was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, crowned Prince Shaofu, and elected to the Inner Pavilion."

The officials hadn't recovered from Xuan Yin's appointment, but Shang Baiheng's appointment directly stunned everyone.

The entire hall was silent, and everyone even forgot to catch their breath.

Those who don't know the inside story are thinking: there is no prince, so where does the prince Shao Fu come from?And Shang Baiheng is only the fifth rank right now, directly promoted to the second rank?Going beyond the two-level promotion is against the established rules. After all, Xuan Yin has been promoted several times and has to make two-level jumps. What kind of merit did Shang Baiheng do to make an exception for promotion?!

Knowing the inside story is like being soaked in old vinegar, thinking in his heart: Shang Baiheng was lucky, and voted for the Seventh Prince early, what's the matter?It can be done by anyone who votes.

Everyone is unwilling.

Only the most loyal veterans stroked their beards in relief when they heard the prince's young master. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes, looking forward to Ming Zhong's next most important will.

Ming Zhong took out the last imperial edict, and solemnly read: "By God's fortune, the emperor's edict said: The emperor's seventh son, Yan Xi, with the word Weiyu, was born by Empress Chunjia, heir to the clan, with noble character, gifted with Tsinghua University, and God's will."It belongs to you. Now, following the public opinion, I would like to tell the ancestral temple, the community, and heaven and earth, grant him a book of treasures, establish him as the crown prince, and take the right place in the East Palace. With the foundation of ten thousand years, he will set the hearts of the world." ①

The officials raised their heads in unison and stared at Ming Zhong silently.

Ying Zhu was standing next to Emperor Tianxi, he knew the content early in the morning, and when he heard the edict, his eyes were red with excitement.

Everyone's heart is like a drum beating, and the crown prince has been established!

Pei Hong and Mei Ren took the lead in lifting their robes and knelt down in this excited silence, and they sang in unison: "The crown prince has been set, the country is in order, your majesty is wise, and the revival of Da Jing is just around the corner! I thank you for your majesty's wisdom and martial arts.Long live the emperor, long live the emperor! Kowtow to His Royal Highness the crown prince, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

Pei Hong and Mei Ren knelt down towards the east.

The eyes of the veterans were already filled with tears. They had waited for this day for too long. Da Jing has been undercurrents all these years. After all, he was fighting for reserves.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, and the courtiers return to their hearts, Da Jing finally waited for his respite, and there is only one crown prince left to solve his internal worries!

The veterans knelt down tremblingly, all crying, "Long live my emperor! Long live, long live! Your Royal Highness, a thousand years ago!"

The veterans took the lead in kneeling, and the people below finally recovered from the shock.

There was a loud sound.

The mountain calls long live, the mountain calls thousand years old.

Jia Zongru was stunned.

His mind was first shocked, then happy, and then ashamed.

The word is light rain!

The word is light rain!!

It has never been mentioned in the imperial edict of Li Chu, and the meaning of Emperor Tianxi's move is very clear, the crown prince is the number one scholar!

The country has been set!

Da Jing is expected!

Tears welled up in Jia Zongru's eyes, he looked in Yan Xi's direction excitedly, and was about to kneel down.

Cui Cong was glad that he had been observing Jia Zongru, and Mei Ren repeatedly told him that someone would make such a gaffe. When Cui Cong saw Jia Zongru's actions, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.Dong knelt and passed.

Only then did Jia Zongru come to his senses, and fell to the ground and burst into tears.

To the east is Yuedong County, where the "Crown Prince" is still nominally.

As soon as the edict came out, everyone knew that Xuan Yin was Yan Xi.

Civil servants are the most skilled at power, and they almost immediately understood Emperor Tianxi's intentions.

Historically, the crown prince could not take another official position, and kept Xuan Yin's status, and gave Yan Xi the governor of the western region.

The Western Region is the Da Jing Fortress, bordering Mo Di and Mangrong in the north, Beiyuan in the east, and the Pingchuan Liang Road leading directly to Jingdu in the middle.

Those who get the Western Region get Da Jing.

Emperor Tianxi, this is to hand over the lifeline of Da Jing to Yan Xi.

Mei Yun is in Cao Ying today and her heart is in Han.

In order not to delay the time, he had already asked the boy to take Dr. Sun to Yuedong County first. He prepared two fast horses and even prepared a change of clothes.Get on the horse and leave.

Mei Yun took it for granted that there were all kinds of subtleties at the court meeting that the political situation had changed.

Mei Yun was in a detached situation and didn't care much about this change.

He has the favor of Emperor Tianxi, and his father is in charge of the Inner Pavilion. He has also been excellent in the assessments over the years. In the past five years, he has inspected the whole territory of Da Jing, and he has endured all the hard work. He is already expected by everyone among the younger generation.stand out.

In the last round of promotion, he was placed on the right servant of the household department, and everyone has already tacitly agreed that he will take over as the secretary of the household department.

Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard that his appointment was the Secretary of the Household Department.

He just wanted to go to court early and go to Yuedong County.

When the decree read Xuan Yin's appointment, he was surprised.

He couldn't explain why, but he didn't want to object.

His heart had already flown to Yuedong County, and before he could understand Emperor Tianxi's arrangement with his limited mind, he heard that Shang Baiheng was named the Prince's Young Fu.

Shang Baiheng is the teacher of Yan Xi, and became the prince's young master, so Yan Xi...is the prince?

Only then did Mei Yun raise her head abruptly, realizing that her father told him to leave it to the early court for something else.

From the moment she heard the "Biao Zi Wei Yu" in the next imperial edict, Mei Yun's mind went blank.

light rain.

Xuan Weiyu.

Yan Weiyu.

Literal associations are actually not difficult to understand.

But Mei Yun had to react for a long time before accepting the truth.

By the time he reacted, he had already knelt down on the mountain with all the officials and shouted for a thousand years.

Mei Yun knelt on the ground stiffly, but at a time when everyone was happy because they had settled the country, they fell into a desperate situation.

Waking up suddenly is so painful.

His little Xi, who is in Jingdu every day, actually refuses to see him once, does not go to see him once, and does not tell him any information.

It turned out that "Xuan Yin" hated him because Yan Xi hated him.

Mei Yun fell to the ground deeply.

His intentions for the past five years, even if others don't know, his father and Emperor Tianxi know.The reason why Emperor Tianxi reused him was also because of his love for Yan Xi and his childhood friendship, but neither of these two people who knew the inside story well gave him any hints.

There must be Yan Xi's intentions behind this.

It can be seen that Yan Xi really hates him.

Mei Yun recalled several encounters with "Xuan Yin" in this hall where people's hearts were surging, and the other party looked at him with no affection.

In the past five years, he has suffered from emotional pain, and he has experienced pain, and finally understands that a person's affection cannot be hidden; on the contrary, a person's ruthlessness cannot be concealed.

As early as five years ago, after King Qin fell into the water, he had never seen that kind of gaze attached to him.

Mei Yun fell on the ground, her shoulders shrugged, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

Others shed hot tears, but he shed bitter cold tears.

Amidst the eager shouts of all the officials, he wept remorsefully and suppressedly. His Xiaoxi was lost by him in the cold lake five years ago.

Pei Qingshi knelt behind Mei Ren today.

When Pei Qingshi heard of Xuan Yin's appointment, he suddenly guessed the emperor's heart.

Therefore, when he heard that Shang Baiheng entered the cabinet as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he had no struggle.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is honored as the "Tianguan" and is the first of the six ministers. Shang Baiheng's election as a heavenly official to the Inner Pavilion must be better than other ministers.

And the Ministry of Works Shangshu, which he Pei Qingshi had spent many years in the business and agencies, was the last of the six Shangshu, called "Dongguan".

His trip is so ridiculous.

The trip to the imperial tomb that Pei Qingshi despised five years ago has become a ladder for others to ascend to heaven.

Punishment is nothing more than that.

Pei Qingshi knelt down on the ground, and when Shan Hu was a thousand years old, he burst into tears.

How could he ever look down on his own hypocrisy and obscenities that were not upright?

His self-proclaimed "ability to bend and stretch" is not as good as Shang Baiheng's "rather bend than bend".

He, Pei Qingshi, fell to the wrong side once, and his spine was poked all his life.

In the end, it was full of calculations and it was just a joke.

Pei Qingshi had read Shang Baiheng's "Jiwen Gongshu" several times under the lamp.

"Scholars have nothing to serve the country, but the pen in their hand is the knife."——Pei Qingshi was moved by this, but he disdain it from the bottom of his heart—the scholar is entirely useless, if he does not become an official or hold power, how can he serve the country with the pen?

But at that time, Shang Baiheng, who was only a member of the Imperial Academy, destroyed the situation with just one article.

"Even if the road ahead is bumpy, let him be a tiger, leopard and wolf, we will definitely chase after him!"

Every time read it, it makes people impassioned.

Pei Qingshi leaned forward and shook his shoulders: I admit defeat.

Pei Qingshi regretted it at the beginning - the one who was most sorry was his junior brother.

He only considers his father to help secretly, always thinking that as long as he manages the officialdom well, it will naturally be Yan Xi's help.

But that's not the reason for him, the senior brother, to sit idly by.

In five years, he never visited Yan Xi once.

At this time, Pei Qingshi didn't even dare to look at Yan Xi who was in the hall.

He has no face.

Song Beiming didn't hesitate at all this morning, and sent Yan Xi to court on time, so he expected this moment.

He got off the private carriage, sat back in the wheelchair, and turned back into the little prince of Beiyuan.

He seemed to have had a very long dream. The starting point of that dream was from the first time he went to bed, the first kiss, the first collision of withered glory, and even as far away as the first time he saw the champion wearing a hairpin in the Golden Palace.stunning.

Then this dream woke up after the ice and fire melted together last night.

Song Beiming was supported by Song Yuexiao and knelt down.

He and his eldest sister were at the head of the general team, and when he was facing east, he turned his body slightly, and after refusing to look at Yan Xi all morning, he raised his head coldly and met Yan Xi's gaze.

He saw that the corners of Yan Xi's red lips had not faded after being kissed by him, and he also saw that the corners of Yu Yan's eyes were not much different from when he kissed away the tears.

Only those foggy eyes became clear and cold at this moment.

Song Beiming raised his lips coldly at Yan Xi.

There was no respect for the crown prince in his eyes at all, but as if he wanted to strip Yan Xi naked, he traced Yan Xi from head to toe, then knelt down with all the officials, pointing at hisBeauty Mountain shouted: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

When everyone knelt down, the sight and delicate atmosphere of Yan Xi's probing finally dissipated.

Yan Xi stood where she was, without kneeling down.

Everyone bowed to the ground, and after the edict of the establishment of the crown prince was read out, no one dared to look him in the face again.

He stood in the Fengtian Hall where he was kneeling on the ground, his eyes intersected with Song Beiming.

He knew that Song Beiming was looking at his "desire", and he was also looking at how much "desire" Song Beiming had left for him after knowing the truth.

Their gazes were entangled for a moment in the open space where the officials bowed their heads.

Song Beiming leaned over, Yan Xi raised his eyes, and they both cut eyes off mercilessly.

Yan Xi thought: Very good, this is a tacit understanding.

In Nuozai's Fengtian Hall, there is only one person left who can look at Yan Xi.

Emperor Tianxi cast his eyes from behind the nine jade beads.

The father and son haven't seen each other for five years, even if they are in the same hall together, Yan Xi always avoids them with downcast eyes.

Now that the Emperor of Da Jing and the Crown Prince were prostrating in civil and military prostrations, their gazes finally met.

Emperor Tianxi is unfathomable.

Yan Xi was expressionless.

Emperor Tianxi didn't call Pingshen, so everyone had no choice but to lie down on the ground.

The power of the emperor came like a mountain.

Looking at each other at this moment, Emperor Tianxi did not hide his years of dormancy, cruelty, cruelty and planning for his favorite prince.

He stood up from the throne, and the golden platform was towering. Emperor Tianxi stood among the gold and jade, stepped on all the officials, and stood at the highest place of Da Jing.

His gaze was always on his youngest son, and he showed Yan Xi the authority of the emperor in a fruitful manner. He made a gesture of raising his hand and shouted: "Pingshen."

As soon as the emperor raised his hand, he pulled the weight with all his strength, and everyone's spine straightened.

When all the officials stood up, everyone's gazes converged noisily, and Yan Xicai escaped from Emperor Tianxi's menacing gaze.

He gasped heavily, and found that he was trembling faintly, and the cold sweat had already soaked his underwear.

This is the authority of the emperor who can give life and death.
