Devil’s Advent

Its daybreak.

The Great Court Meeting is different from the normal court. Instead of officials waiting at the gate of the palace before dawn, it will be arranged in the morning, and because yesterday was a big banquet in the palace, it is more humanely delayed by an hour .

Therefore, many officials chose to go to the government office first, deal with the matter at hand, do it for a while, and then estimated that the time was almost up, so they tidied up their official uniforms and went to "rush the field".

In fact, some people do not stand in line. To put it another way, there are only a small half of those who stand firmly in line.

After all, the benefits of Conglong are high, but the risks are also high;

There are always many people who choose to be wise and protect themselves. As for the way to make progress, not everyone has a strong self-motivation. No matter when, no matter where, as long as the number of groups reaches a certain number, they will never is heterogeneous.

This is also the reason why the backbone of the Liu Ye Party is basically the newly promoted officials in recent years. They have low qualifications and accumulation. The people in the front can fool around, but they generally don't want to.

Furthermore, the smooth sailing of the crown prince ascended the throne, and everything went step by step, so what's the matter?

If the old radishes are not pulled out, how will they move the new radishes?

It's better to fight with His Highness Six!

At the same time, due to the arrangements made by the sixth prince in the early years, he was already the benefactor of a large number of officials who entered the imperial examination, and it was justified to take refuge in him there.

Of course, there are quite a few forces on the Prince's side. It seems that the momentum is not as strong as that of the Liuye Party, and they are often forced to the corner. If His Majesty hadn't stepped down several times to balance the situation, the East Palace might have been unstable long ago, but In fact, there is a large group of "silent majority" in the ruling and opposition parties.

They will not run for the prince, nor will they fight for the prince. During the festivals, they can save even the etiquette. They even don't have enough motivation to get promoted, but they hope to maintain the status quo and maintain the court. A stable situation, so if they are forced to stand in line, they are still willing to stand on the side of the prince.

"Oh, it's very interesting. It's almost divided into right-wing and left-wing."

Lord Zheng Hou, who was riding on a Pixiu, was listening to the information Sun Ying had collected in the past few days while eating the meat sandwiches that Siniang had made in the morning.

The prince is benevolent and advocates the cultivation of life and rest;

The sixth prince is determined to forge ahead, and his methods are exactly like those of Emperor Yan back then.

The positions are very opposing, and the political directions are also very opposing.

"Hou Ye's evaluation is quite appropriate. The two wings of the Kunpeng, the same as Dayan, are in each other, but they are opposed to each other, but they are inseparable from each other. Wonderful, wonderful."

A smart person, even if he has never heard this kind of new word evaluation, but he can immediately understand it according to the previous passage, and can continue to diverge:

"This is also the reason why this subordinate believes that His Majesty has been vacillating. He seems to be weighing Dayan's future path and which direction he should go."

"This is the downside of having too many sons who are too good." Lord Zheng Hou shook his head, "A full man doesn't know a hungry man."

"yes."

When Xue San came back last night, he helped Ji Laoliu bring back a sentence for himself,

Said that the medicine he left in the carriage last time was for the child to help conceive, the effect is very good, Zheng Fan can use it.

Lord Zhenghou, who heard the rumor,

Directly scolded:

brute!

...

At the gate of the palace,

Sun Ying stayed behind and didn't go in.

Zheng Fan rode a Pixiu, led by a captain who defended the city, sat on the back of a Pixiu, and entered the palace.

"Switched?"

After all, he was from the military. Master Zheng Hou glanced inside and found that the face and equipment were not right.

The original guards of the imperial city seem to be strict, but in fact they pay more attention to majesty. After all, no matter what time the real core of the empire is attacked, the probability of being attacked is still the lowest. , good-looking is the first, to reflect the majesty of the royal family.

However, Lord Zheng Hou was afraid of death, so his personal guards chose to be fierce soldiers in the army.

Ping Xihou's question,

The leading captain dared not answer.

How could it be possible to speak out carelessly about the defense of the palace?

Can't you ask in a low voice, secretly?

but,

No need to wait for an answer.

Because, Zheng Fan saw the fourth child standing in front of him.

The fourth child was dressed in a military uniform, standing on the royal road, he looked not at all majestic or airy, just like a mother who had just died.

"Heh...puchi...cough..."

Master Zheng Hou couldn't hold it back, he laughed, and then looked up at the sky, as if he just realized that today's clouds seem to be extraordinarily noisy.

The fourth prince stretched out his hand, and the soldiers behind him also raised their weapons.

"Please get off the horse, Lord Pingxi."

Zheng Fan nodded, turned over and got off Pixiu.

The fourth child stepped aside and signaled Lord Pingxi to continue walking in.

With a serious look, he is really stern and selfless.

The fourth child has figured it out, he is afraid and cowardly, but there are some things that he has to do.

At least, in this generation of the Ji family, even the sixth younger brother, whose wisdom is close to that of a demon, has no temper at all by his father, let alone him.

He doesn't fight for the position, and he doesn't fight for that anymore. Today, he will be a stern and selfless door god.

Don't stand in line, don't look at the side, just do your own thing, and set up a good post.

The remaining,

Who do you love,

If I have done this all the time and I still can't escape that vortex in the end, then I'm really going to die, no, it's me who insists on taking my son down to fear loneliness.

become,

just go

old stuff!

Next, when other officials entered, the fourth prince stared at everyone with a cold face, checking everyone's attire to see if they had brought anything.

A few small officials who were not sure about the limelight saw that the fourth prince had suddenly changed defenses to the palace, and thought that a big accident was about to happen, and they were not qualified to squeeze into the princeling party or the sixth master party, so they deliberately presented it at this moment. flattery.

In the history books, it's nothing new for the emperor to pass on the throne to an unexpected prince in his last years, right?

Then,

The fourth prince said coldly to the censor beside him:

"This one, this one, and this one, my lord, are disrespectful in front of the palace."

The censor saluted and said:

"The lower officer took note."

Lord Zheng Hou is already walking up the steps now,

stop

turn around

look back,

It was a row of soldiers and a row of beasts in costumes that symbolized the operation of the empire that were coming in orderly;

Suddenly,

An indescribable feeling rose in my heart.

Like a sentimental person looking at the bamboo forest in autumn.

It just so happens that today is cloudy and the sky is a bit gray, which suits my mood quite well.

shake your head,

smiled,

Lord Zheng Hou walked into the hall.

well,

It's time to...arrange the position again.

Lord Zheng Hou had a headache. He hadn't participated in several courts in total. He was really not familiar with some etiquette and rules. Fortunately, he did come back after getting enough grades outside.

During the banquet last night, I saw an old man who was a nobleman who came up to say hello to Lord Zheng very enthusiastically.

Master Zheng Hou couldn't remember his name at all, so he grabbed his arm and responded enthusiastically;

Ask if your mother is okay, and if your child is okay.

Fortunately, I kept my head clear, and I didn't ask your father if he was okay, Cheng Jue's honor, if I was still there, would it be his turn to go to court?

This one silently sent Master Zheng to the front row of the right row, then left, and walked back to his position.

Master Zheng Hou was found in the right place, and he laughed in his heart;

Fuck, it's not easy for anyone who can stand here to get to court, even if it's by reincarnation.

That person obviously saw the embarrassment in his steps early on, and deliberately came to lead him the way.

Lord Zheng Hou deliberately turned his body forward again, wanting to take a closer look at that person's appearance, such a person who knows how to behave, is very good, you have to remember.

And at this time,

The ministers have already entered the palace in sevens and eighties, and they are still chatting with each other in a low voice.

But Zheng Fan could clearly see that at this moment, some people were obviously absent-minded. In this hall, the two Inheritance Factions, one was preparing to attack, and the other probably knew that they were going to be attacked, and they were all concentrating on preparing.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building;

Good,

It must be a wonderful day.

The censor in charge of inspection and a red-robed eunuch stepped forward to do the final inspection.

The big guys also knew that it was about to start, so they immediately stopped whispering and began to stand still.

finally,

The center of the most powerful empire in the east reflects its majesty and sanctity.

At this time, Zhao Jiulang, the crown prince, and the sixth prince also came in.

Only then did Lord Zheng realize that,

I entered early.

As a heavyweight character, I should come in now, oops, I was negligent, I was negligent.

Zhao Jiulang stood on the left, and Ji Laoliu stood below him. Although he is a prince, but Ji Laoliu is a real and unnamed minister of the household department, it is reasonable to stand there.

The prince stood on the platform between the dragon chair and the positions of the ministers. This is the real one person under ten thousand people.

At this time, many officials noticed Zheng Fan's side, and they had already noticed that there was some vacancy at Lord Pingxi's place.

Wei Zhonghe gave a long chant,

It broke the atmosphere at this time.

"His Majesty is here!"

All the ministers knelt down, even the prince knelt down there.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Shaoqing,

A familiar and majestic voice came from above:

"All my loves, let's get back together."

"Long live thanks!"

Everybody stand up,

Then,

in a group,

With a look full of affection and concern, "swish, swish, swish" to the ninety-five supreme being on the dragon chair!

Your Majesty sits on the dragon chair,

Sit up straight.

Liu Yedang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. By this time, the healthier His Majesty is and the more he can persevere, it means time for the big guy, and more.

The princelings felt a little bitter in their hearts.

At this time,

Yan Huang's sonorous voice came:

"I have been honored and raised in the back garden for a long time, and I am really a little unfamiliar with government affairs. On the occasion of the great court meeting, let's first talk about some important government affairs of various ministries;

Let me, let all the ministers have a spectrum in their hearts. "

The breath of the emperor is so strong.

Lord Zheng Hou pursed his lips. The emperor's state today doesn't look like he got out of taking drugs?

As you can imagine,

The prince and Ji Laoliu over there will only pay more attention to and care about Emperor Yan's body than themselves.

Fortunately,

They should be... used to;

I am used to my own old man, every time he seems to be on the verge of dying, and then he suddenly stands up again.

pity,

In this hall,

In addition to His Majesty, plus Wei Zhonghe, who was vaguely guessed by a qi refiner,

no one knows

The emperor, who seemed to be full of energy and complexion at this time, had recovered very well,

Only nine days of Yangshou are left.

At this time,

Roast duck a few days ago,

Oh no, it was the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who was so angry with the king of Zhenbei that he was sick and is now going to court with illness. The head of the six departments with real power is the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of Rites is the most noble.

However, before the elder could speak, Emperor Yan turned his attention to Zheng Fan.

Zheng Houye's place is indeed a bit empty.

In the place of the original four people, only Marquis Zheng stood alone, and the people below did not dare to go up one by one to make up for them.

Emperor Yan was puzzled and said:

"Where are King Zhenbei, King Jingnan and Wujiang?"

Wasn't he sent by you to fight barbarians?

Lord Zheng Hou came out,

replied:

"Return to Your Majesty, Prince Jingnan, say it, I'm too lazy to listen to chatter."

It means that I am too lazy to stand here and listen to nonsense.

The old Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites suddenly felt as if he had been shot by an arrow.

At this moment, the condition worsened again.

The whole hall is silent.

Subsequently,

There are censors out,

"Chen Shen, King Jingnan is domineering!"

then,

There are other officials listed:

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The participation here is somewhat formalistic.

Because King Jingnan is the one who can do this kind of thing.

King Jingnan is domineering,

Oh no,

It is not normal for King Jingnan not to be domineering!

I will not mention the matter of the stone lions and the imperial envoys. A few days ago, the slogan "Qingjun side" was shouted outside the city.

Furthermore, King Jingnan has a withdrawn personality, and even the servants arranged by the House of Internal Affairs in the mansion have been sent back. Isn't it normal for him to be alone in the mansion now?

Everyone also knows that participating in King Jingnan at this moment is just a formality, but it must be done, otherwise it will be cold.

Emperor Yan smiled,

road:

"I know."

"The commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is asking to see you outside the Qingshuang Hall."

"Xuan."

Qingshuang walked in,

Kneel down and salute:

"At the end of the day, I will see my emperor, long live."

"Where's Liang Ting?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the lord didn't enjoy the wine in the palace last night, so he dragged his highness to drink at night, and then... the lord and his highness drank too much together, and now he is still sleepy and unable to come to court."

The ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay, good guy, it still tastes the same!

For the prince who can roast leg of lamb in the imperial study, it is quite normal for him to drink too much and not be able to attend the court meeting.

You know, five years ago, the big guy almost thought that people were going to raise troops to rebel in Yanjing!

As for the eldest prince,

Um,

It can only be called unlucky, and this neighbor is here.

At this time,

Another censor sighed,

Step forward:

"Chen Shen suppresses the domineering king of the North!"

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Everyone took another form.

By the way,

I also participated in playing the eldest prince.

"Wei Zhonghe, send someone to deliver some hangover soup later."

"The slave obeys the order."

this matter,

Just let it go.

This is within everyone's expectations.

Of course, there are also many "smart people" who think that the two kings of the North and the South did not come to the court meeting because they were too lazy to get involved in the final seizure of the heir apparent. quiet.

Next,

Finally, the old Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites began to speak.

Subsequently,

It was the other big bosses of the various ministries, and the household department was not created by Ji Chengjue, but another official.

The chief officers of other departments also came out and roughly said,

In the end, the prince reported some things about his supervision of the country, and then Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, made the concluding statement.

The process is very long.

But the big guy didn't show any impatience, because almost everyone present knew that something big would happen today.

Even Lord Zheng Hou, who never liked to listen to the lectures, kept his spirits up.

He was thinking about where Ji Lao Liu was going to attack the prince.

Mistake in governance?

Prince, there is nothing wrong.

Don't look at this prince who looks like a doormat, but he has real skills. When he was in charge of the country, the court was running well in all aspects.

When you compare him with His Highness the Sixth Highness, it is indeed almost meaningless, but the problem is that he may have been hiding his edge, and the position in the East Palace is only for stability.

Zheng Fan also felt that even if there were mistakes in government affairs, it would probably be difficult to defeat the prince in one fell swoop.

other aspects?

For example, bury a dragon robe or something under the East Palace Garden?

With the dominance of the two kings of the north and the south, it seems that the crown prince keeps a dragon robe, isn't it a big deal?

Collusion with army generals?

If Ji Laoliu used this to beat the prince, he would be mocking others for being dirty.

The relationship between myself and Ji Laoliu is full of people, who doesn't know?

so,

What is Ji Laoliu going to use to beat the prince?

and,

One more fatal blow,

After all, time is no longer enough to slowly nibble and fight.

finally,

Zhao Jiulang also finished speaking.

Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't seem to feel tired at all, and still sat upright:

"My heart is very comforting, my heart is very comforting, all the ministers, you have worked hard."

At this time,

Everyone understood and knelt down again:

"The minister is in fear."

"Let's be flat, be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lord Zheng Hou is really curious, how did you guys practice so uniformly?

"If there is anything else that needs to be played, just play it."

Wei Zhonghe took the first half step:

"If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat."

The atmosphere in the hall,

All of a sudden, he became serious.

Everyone's heart trembled,

coming,

coming soon!

really,

At this time,

Da Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion, that is, the patriarch of the Ji family, and now His Majesty's uncle, Ji Changwang walked out.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play."

"Ready to play."

"Your Majesty, in the first ten days, I found the blood of the Yitian family from the people."

The royal bloodline will also include the Ji surname clan.

The bloodline of the Tian family refers to the Yanhuang lineage alone.

"Oh?" Yan Huang let out a doubt.

The Clan Mansion already has the responsibility to manage the Ji surname in the world, and it is inevitable to protect the blood of the Tian family.

Ji Changwang continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, it is a woman who lives in a farm in Gyeonggi with her young daughter. There is a token around the woman to prove her identity as a woman."

At this time,

The crown prince standing above opened his eyes suddenly, and looked down. What he was looking at was not Da Zongzheng who was talking, but his own younger brother, Ji Chengjue, who was standing among the officials!

And at this time,

Many of the ministers present had already guessed who it belonged to in advance, and under the premise of conspiracy theory first, they used this as a means of attack;

Then, there are only two princes in the palace.

Either the prince beat His Highness the Sixth Highness, or His Highness the Sixth Highness beat the Prince.

It doesn't make sense to take it out at this time to beat the prince who is not here.

Looking at the prince standing above, who was extremely conspicuous under one person and above ten thousand people, suddenly lost his posture, the big guy knew it in his heart.

Da Zongzheng continued:

"This woman is full-term, born on the third day of June in the third year of Yongping."

On the third day of June in the third year of Yongping,

All the ministers began to calculate silently in their hearts. They had the date of birth, and if they calculated the pregnancy period forward, they could calculate when the seed was sown.

And Da Zongzheng also said that this woman is full-term.

then,

The expressions of the ministers who calculated it first suddenly changed.

A few officials of the stalwart princeling party cast their disbelieving eyes on the prince standing above, and their faces were ashen ashes at the same time.

When the woman conceived, the Queen passed away!

Not only is it during the filial piety period, but the queen was buried in Emperor Yan's own mausoleum after 7749 days of rest in the palace.

Probably,

When the woman was conceived, Empress Daxing was still in a state of rest, that is... her bones were still cold!

This is,

for real,

Outrageous!

And at this time,

In the mind of Lord Zhenghou,

Suddenly, the words of Ji Laoliu brought back by Xue San last night appeared:

Zheng Fan,

This medicine works very well, you can use it.
