Today is the great court meeting in mid-July. The chief officials of each government, court, and ministry must attend, as well as the specific corresponding officials involved in the court meeting, such as Ding Kui, the general who countered the rebellion.
Ding Kui and his wife walked into the meeting hall, and the officials who had arrived came forward to say hello.
"I'm going to see the princess of Fuguo."
"I humbly pay my respects to the princess of the auxiliary country."
"Old minister Jin meets the princess of Fuguo."
"..."
Shaodian Luan responded with a smile.
There were also people who were greeting Ding Kui, paying homage to the prince-in-law, the general, etc. He was following Shao Dian Luan and it was inconvenient to respond, so he had to return the greeting with his hand.
The prince-in-law of Shaodian Kingdom is an embarrassing existence, but in certain specific periods, he can soar to the sky. For example, Ding Kui was promoted as an exception because Shaodian Luan assisted the country. This is something that cannot be seen in normal times.
The general had a higher rank than most of the officials present. Only the chiefs of the two houses and Shaodian Luan had a higher rank than Ding Kui, and he was considered a highly respected minister.
Nowadays, in addition to the throne, there is a seat on the left and right sides of the main meeting hall, which is for the Princess of Fuguo and the Prince of Xiezheng. There are no seats for anyone else.
There were many officials attending the meeting. Each of the two government offices and houses led a team of officials to line up in the main hall. Ding Kui naturally followed Shao Dianzhang.
Shao Dianzhang turned back and whispered: "The court is a stage where all parties compete for power and profit. The courtiers argue for their own interests. Sometimes it may be unfair, but it does not mean that they have personal grudges with you. You have to remember."
This is a reminder to the rookie officials at the Great Court.
"My subordinate understands, please rest assured." Ding Kui knew that his boss was worried that he could not control his emotions and that if he got angry in the hall, it would be difficult to deal with it.
No one can guarantee that he will not lose his temper. The Ding family is not the one who suffers the consequences at the court meeting. Some people even hope that he will lose his temper. They have probably prepared a memorial for the court's misconduct.
"The king has arrived!" the guards and chamberlains accompanying him shouted together.
"The king has arrived!" the guards of the meeting hall also shouted.
"The king has arrived!" All the ministers knelt on the ground together.
Shaodianluan and Shaodianshi are no exception.
The majesty of the leader of a country cannot be challenged.
Ding Kui thought to himself: "How similar human societies are!"
Shao Dianfeng walked steadily into the hall, closely followed by Shao Dianshang.
The master knight, who was originally protecting the king in secret, came to the light for fear that the little king would lose his temper, so as to prevent the little king from doing something inappropriate in time.
After sitting firmly on the throne, Shao Dianfeng spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers stood up, bowed their heads and separated themselves into court.
"General of the counter-rebellion." Shao Dianfeng omitted the introduction and directly named the name.
As usual, he should ask Shao Dian Luan for advice, and then wait for Shao Dian Luan to announce the start of the performance.
"I'm here!" Ding Kui took a step sideways.
Shao Dianfeng ignored his sister's surprised look and asked, "Is there any good news?"
This was an opportunity for Ding Kui to show off by knowingly asking questions.
"Your Majesty." Shaodian Luan stood up, "Why don't you listen to the briefing from the Government Affairs Council first?"
It was her duty to preside over the court meeting, and there was a procedure for the ministers to report to the court. It would be easy for the king to interrupt her like this.
Shao Dianzhang glanced back, signaling Ding Kui not to speak for the time being.
According to the normal procedure, he should report Ding Kui's return, and then let Ding Kui introduce the situation on the front line.
"The Government Affairs Council often has briefings, and it's the first time for the general to come to the meeting. Can't we let him speak first?" Shao Dianfeng came up with a strange idea.
Shao Dianluan raised his slender eyebrows slightly, and was about to educate his younger brother when he suddenly heard Zipi say: "If the king has a gracious decree, he can make an exception. General Ding's good news can inspire the whole country, so that listening to the briefing from the Government Affairs Council will not be so boring."
The chief of the Government Affairs Council spoke up, and no one else had any objections.
"Then let me ask General Ding to introduce the military situation on the front line." Shao Dianluan had no choice but to sit back in his seat.
"Yes." Ding Kui cleared his throat, "In line with the majesty of the king's coming to the kingdom, all the soldiers in the army will strive to be the first..."
Biliba, let’s brag a bit first.
"The last general will follow the instructions of his ancestors. Every battle is based on protecting the country, and the commanders of all armies will give full support..." He then got to the point.
Liu Yu had written the memorial before he returned to the capital. With his mental strength, he had read it several times and memorized it. Now he could recite it effortlessly.
"The current Ninth Army, Thirteenth Army, Fifteenth Army, Twenty-second Army and the National Guard Army have returned to the base camp of Liyang County to rest and recuperate. Commander Jin Man commands the First Army, Eighth Army and Tenth Army to attack Bea County, and the Fourth Army...
"
"Thanks to your Majesty, there are less than 100,000 rebels left in King Zhuzhou, and they are expected to be wiped out within half a month. The counter-insurgency theater will discuss the next strategy in the near future."
After Ding Kui finished speaking, he bowed to Shaodian Feng.
Shao Dianfeng's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth grinned almost to his ears. If Shao Dianshang hadn't reminded him, he would have jumped up and cheered.
"We have great generals in our country, so why worry about rebelling against the Party?" he said after holding back for a while.
"Your Majesty, you have given me too much praise. To counter the rebellion, we still need the sincere unity and concerted efforts of both the government and the opposition. The final general is just the one who delivers the final blow." Ding Kui did not dare to accept this high hat.
"Please remember the teachings of your ancestors, your Majesty." Shao Dianluan reminded his younger brother to be careful in his words and deeds, and not to discuss the government affairs without making any remarks before officially taking charge.
"With the king's full support, there is no need to worry about the rebellion!" Shao Dianzhang opened his mouth to help Ding Kui out of the siege.
The commander-in-chief of the General Command is qualified to comment, and there is nothing wrong with what he said. No matter who leads the army, the king will give him full support.
Those who want to find fault should not interrupt. Now when attacking Ding Kui, he must first perfectly avoid the king and Shaodian Zhang, otherwise he will be crushed by those two mountains.
"The military situation has been reported. Next, we will ask the Government Affairs Council to make a briefing." Shao Dianluan quickly put the court process back on track.
Zipi left the class, followed the script, and briefly stated the recent internal affairs situation.
After he finished reading, he looked back. Xi Chan, the Minister of Finance, who was also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, understood the idea and went out to the class to report: "I have my own foundation. I wonder if I can do it?"
"Why not?" Shaodianshi said.
He had been sitting there silently, like a wax figure, as if he was outside the court meeting, and when he suddenly spoke, he must have a purpose.
Faced with such a situation, Shaodian Luan was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to acquiesce.
Xi Chan continued to report: "The generals who served as ministers to quell the rebellion did not care about the national calamity, and they never tired of collecting money. They used their positions to resell ordnance at high prices..."
Here it comes! What Wang Deng reminded Ding Kui of on the road happened indeed.
"Xi Chan, what do you mean? Isn't the information submitted by our department clear enough? I personally review every arms sale. There are problems here. Do you think I have problems too?" Long Kun couldn't help but
.
The crime of producing ginseng and Ding Kui in Xi was implicated on Long Kun. Both the buyer and the seller were responsible for reselling the weapons at high prices.
"Whether you have any problems requires investigation. I don't dare to comment without knowing the relevant situation." Xi Chan replied calmly.
Ding Kui sneered and said: "Hey, Minister Xi, what evidence do you have about me? You might as well spread it out and I will explain it to you one by one."
