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

"Everyone is safe!"

In the Jinluan Hall of Shengtian City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a sound of shouts of worship.

Kneeling on the red brick floor were all prominent people in the entire empire.

Even if you are just a rank-5 or rank-6 sesame official, you still have a more or less huge network of connections behind you.

Sometimes just poking into a hornet's nest is enough.

Standing on the jade steps was a eunuch wearing a red robe. The eunuch holding the seal of the ceremonial officer pinched his nose and shouted:

"If you have something to do, leave early! If nothing happens, roll up the curtain and leave!"

The slightly feminine voice slowly echoed, and there was silence above the hall. Many officials looked at their noses and noses, as if nothing happened.

Everyone is well aware of what is happening in the capital, but whoever wants to talk about it, I won’t talk about it anyway.

The Queen Mother Shangguan Wanrong, who was sitting next to the young emperor, kept thinking in her heart: "Don't stand up blindly."

Uncle Guo was also very nervous. If the edict was discovered, he would have to hold his nose and seal it.

"I have submitted a report to Yin Jingwu from the Ministry of Engineering and Engineering!"

A loud shout instantly broke the silence in the court hall, and also stopped Xue Chengyi, the Minister of Punishment, who was about to speak in the crowd.

Xue Chengyi suddenly looked up, a flash of doubt in his eyes.

This person is very unfamiliar. He is standing at the tail of the courtiers. He must have been qualified to stand in this court recently.

After all, Xue Chengyi is a high-ranking official of the first rank. It is normal that he has never seen a low-ranking official of the sixth rank like Shizhong.

The Queen Mother's heart also "thumped", she was really afraid of what might happen.

"Long live my emperor! In the spring of the fifth year of Jingtai, I entrust your majesty to the Queen Mother's great blessing! The soldiers on the front line have sacrificed their lives, and the Northern Liang army has regained the entire territory of Liaodong! I heard that there have been rumors among the people in the capital recently, saying that the late emperor's edict was in front of him, and the one who regained Liaodong should be crowned king.

!”

Before he finished speaking, there was some commotion in the main hall, and many ministers looked at this guy with surprise in his eyes, who had only become a sixth-grade Sesame Officer in his late forties.

Many people were muttering in their hearts, this guy really has no eyesight. Didn't he see that the Queen Mother's face turned dark?

No one with any political sense would bring this up.

When Xue Chengyi heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, he straightened up and stood up straight.

Now that someone has brought it up, he doesn't need to worry about it and can save some money.

That Yin Jingwu didn't seem to notice the commotion in the main hall, and said to himself: "In order to prove the authenticity of the matter, I went to the Taishi Academy to read the ancient books of the previous dynasty, and found that there was indeed this matter.

Here, I invite Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, to comply with the imperial edict! In compliance with the late emperor’s last wish, I confer the title of Marquis of Beiliang as a special royal title! Reward the meritorious officers and soldiers with great rewards to appease the spirits of the ancestors of all dynasties in heaven!”

"Hob meat, damn, this is hob meat!"

Uncle Guo Shangguan Taiqing's expression didn't change at all, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

A small official of the sixth rank now leaves the great uncle at a loss what to do.

But it's no wonder that the Sixth Section has the power of supervision, impeachment, and remonstrance. Although the official position is small, the power of speech is terrifyingly large.

It's very simple to get ahead in an affair, it just depends on whether you can make a splash in the court, so in every dynasty there will be some desperate guys who will scold whoever they catch.

Shangguan Wanrong's face was a little stiff, and she pretended to look at the head of the Taishi Academy and asked: "Master Chen, has the late emperor's edict been clearly recorded in the history books?"

A gray-haired old man among the courtiers stood up with a grimace: "Return to the Queen Mother, there is no doubt about it!"

Mr. Chen really didn't want to get involved in this matter. After being an official for so many years, he knew how to stay out of the matter. But when the Queen Mother asked him, he couldn't open his eyes and tell lies.

"Since the edict is true, I suggest that your Majesty, the Queen Mother, immediately prepare the canonization matters with the Ministry of Rites, and send someone to summon the Marquis of Beiliang to Beijing to receive the title, in order to fulfill the last wishes of the previous emperors!"

Seeing that the head of Taishiyuan nodded in recognition, Yin Jingwu climbed up the pole. He said that he was the emperor and his last wish, for fear that others would not see that he was putting pressure on the Queen Mother.

The old lady Fu Yuwen Hongru was deep in thought, without even raising his eyelids, and ignored the matter as it did not concern him.

"Haha, Yin Aiqing. The officers and soldiers of the Beiliang frontier army are indeed brave, and the Marquis of Beiliang has outstanding military exploits, but the issue of the title of king is of great importance, how can we make a final decision at once?" Shangguan Wanrong hesitated and tried to deal with it.

"It is absolutely impossible to become a king!"

A loud shout of disapproval attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at the sound and found that it was another Gai Shizhong, but this time the one who jumped out was He Ze, the Li Ke Shizhong.

This guy is not even a sixth-grade official, he is only a seventh-grade official. He is the lowest rank in the entire palace.

He Ze bowed and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Our dynasty has not enfeoffed kings with different surnames for nearly a hundred years. It has become a common practice not to grant kings to the opposite sex. Now, wouldn't it be suspected of breaking the ancestral system to rashly grant kings? It is not the way of a wise king!

"

After all, he came from the Ministry of Rites, and he had the etiquette system at his fingertips. Although many ministers knew that what this guy said was a bit far-fetched, at least he was not talking nonsense. Many people nodded slightly, and even the Queen Mother and Shangguan Taiqing cast admiring glances at him.

.

He Ze was overjoyed in his heart. He had no background and had always wanted to find a backer. Today he saw that the Queen Mother was unwilling to be crowned king, so he had the courage to stand up and try his luck at his own future.

Now it seems that he won the bet.

Encouraged by the Queen Mother's eyes, He Ze became a little forgetful, and then said: "Back then, Beiliang sent troops without authorization, and the court did not punish the crime. It was a great reward. Now that we have regained Liaodong, the merits and demerits are equal to each other!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the whole hall. The civil and military officials from all over the court who had admired He Ze just now suddenly looked at him as if they were a fool.

The expressions on the faces of the Queen Mother and Shangguan Taiqing also became extremely exciting. This guy's brain is not as smart as it looks.

He Ze was at a loss as he hadn't realized what had happened.

"Master He, who said that Beiliang sent troops without permission?"

Xue Chengyi's extremely cold voice sounded.

He Ze trembled violently, he was really a pig-brained person!

Although everyone knew that Beiliang sent troops without permission, the official explanation at first was that Youzhou was attacked by Jin soldiers, and the soldiers of Beiliang fought back, and then the court officially agreed to send troops to Beiliang.

Although the two rhetorics, overt and covert, have the same ending, and it is imperative for Beiliang to send troops, the difference is huge.

The imperial court's agreement to send troops represents His Majesty's concern for Liaodong and the support of the people.

Beiliang sent troops without permission and refused to comply with the decree. The court still allowed him to wander until now. Where would the royal family's face be put?

Thinking of this, He Ze's back instantly became wet, and his lips trembled as he said:

"The troops sent to Beiliang are at the request of Your Majesty. I made a blunder and deserved death! Please punish me by the Queen Mother!"
