The court is still the same court, but some people have left and some have come, walking back and forth, telling the story of the vicissitudes of the world!
At the foot of the steps, the important ministers of Da Chu stood silently on both sides, not squinting. However, at this moment, the Ling Emperor had not arrived, so they were all whispering in low voices——
The civil and military ministers of Da Chu stood in rows, with civility on the left and military on the right. On the left was Prime Minister Zhao Linfu, and on the right General Xue Zhan led the generals...
There are basically no changes in the previous important ministers. The only change is that there is one less Grand Master. Another point is that the position of the prince, that is, the prince——
After the wedding of King Zheng Li Ziling a month ago, King Li Zihao of Thailand had gone to the border to fight against the enemy. Therefore, there were still only two princes in the court——
Last year, the two princes were the crown prince and the third prince respectively, but now they are replaced by the fourth prince and the fifth prince, that is, Prince Zheng Li Ziling and Prince Wu Li Ziyun!
Li Ziling stood in front of the ministers, at the foot of the steps, facing the throne. At this moment, he was looking forward, with a warm smile still on his face...
But Li Ziyun is different. He is standing higher up, above the steps, below the throne, facing the ministers, with his hands behind his back, his face is calm, and he is silent. Perhaps he is a high-ranking official during this period.
For this reason, his whole person also has a touch of majesty, which gives people a feeling of not being angry and self-respecting——
In the entire hall, although the civil and military ministers were whispering in low voices, the several important ministers in front were silent, as if the old gods were there——
As time passed, the entire hall gradually became quiet, but after some time passed, the ministers began to whisper quietly——
But it’s because so much time has passed since the time to go to court, the Emperor Ling hasn’t appeared yet, which is really unexpected...
Before this, although Emperor Ling basically went to bed when he came, at least people came. But at this time today, he has not arrived yet. Everyone has a vague premonition in their hearts——
Don't tell me whether you are here or not!
Thinking of this, the old ministers were so angry that they blew their noses and stared, and almost wanted to curse. Today is the day of the imperial examination. Such an important matter, actually...
It’s really ridiculous!
In fact, it is so!
Just when everyone was waiting to see what was going on, the Little Yellow Gate came out of the back hall. Everyone immediately looked at it, and some ministers who were unhappy in their hearts glared at it. It seemed that it was because of this Little Yellow Gate,
Emperor Ling was already late for the court, so Xiao Huangmen was startled. He glanced at Li Ziyun, coughed slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty feels cold, so today's morning court will be presided over by King Wu!"
After finishing his words, without waiting for others to say anything, he said again: "Go to court!"
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Li Ziyun. Li Ziyun had his hands behind his back and his face was calm. Looking at him like this, he was still calm and calm——
Come on!
The old ministers all sighed in their hearts. No matter what, King Wu would come to power sooner or later. Now it is a good thing to take charge of things in advance——
Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" They also worshiped: "King Wu is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Only Prince Zheng and Li Ziling bowed and worshiped!
"Everyone loves you." Li Ziyun waved his hand lightly. He was used to this routine, even when Emperor Ling was around -
"Thank you long live, thank you King Wu!" Under Li Ziyun's gaze, all the civil and military officials stood up.
"If you have something to do, leave the court!" The father-in-law's melodious voice floated to every corner of the Golden Palace——
"Veteran Xie Xing, Minister of Rites, has something to report." Xie Xing took a step forward and said loudly. Xie Xing is the deputy examiner of this imperial examination——
"Quickly played." Li Ziyun waved his hand and looked at him lightly——
Xie Xing bowed and said: "Today is the day of the palace examination. Will King Wu announce that the Jinshi will go to court to see you?"
"Let them in!"
"King Wu announced that Xinke Jinshi has entered the palace." The father-in-law immediately took a step forward and shouted melodiously——
One voice after another was passed on——
After a while, dozens of Jinshi, led by the eunuchs, entered according to their rankings. Except for some bolder children from various families in the capital who raised their heads and looked at them secretly, the others did not dare to raise their heads, so they knelt down and knelt down.
Long live the mouth——
"Get back on your feet!" Li Ziyun said calmly.
Hearing Li Ziyun's voice, many Jinshi suddenly raised their heads in surprise. The scene in front of them couldn't help but surprise them. The emperor was not there, and who was this person——
But when I saw Li Ziyun's young boy turning his head, one word immediately came to mind -
King Wu!
I suddenly felt confused and a little uneasy——
"Three top men come forward!" Li Ziyun actually already knew who these three people were, but some procedures still had to be carried out——
The first one to come out was Zhao Yingjie, the number one scholar!
This person was none other than Zhao Yingying disguised as a man. Li Ziyun had already known her identity, so he was not too surprised——
"The humble minister Zhao Yingjie is a member of the capital, and is temporarily ranked first in the top rank."
Li Ziyun nodded and asked several questions. Zhao Yingying answered them one by one without being impatient or arrogant. Her views were novel but not rebellious. As expected by Li Ziyun——
He didn't know what she wanted to do, so he didn't reveal her identity——
"The second one on the head -"
"Wei Chen Yi Wuchen, a person from Xiazhou, has met King Wu!" This man is very young, about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old. His face is like a crown jewel, his sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes reveal a touch of righteousness. Watch his steps.
Steady, with a calm face, he must also be a steady person by temperament.
This man was quite talented as a general. Li Ziyun planned to take him for his own use. He also asked several questions. The third person in the headdress was Lin Bo's son Lin Chaoyang——
Lin Chaoyang was obviously very angry with Li Ziyun. Not only did he not kneel down, he even shouted on the spot that the traitor is in charge. How could Li Ziyun allow him to be so arrogant? He directly had people pull him out and beat him twenty times. After he was brought back, he still refused.
Convinced, he spoke more boldly——
Li Ziyun waved his hand: "Fight again!"
Lin Chaoyang was beaten with a stick, but no one stood up to intercede for him. He really deserves a beating!
In fact, it is not Li Ziyun who is targeting him, he is not qualified enough. Even if such a person is an official, he will take the wrong path and treat the imperial examination fairly. Li Ziyun treats him fairly. The top three in the first rank are all based on their true ability.
The one selected, speaking of which, Lin Chaoyang has some abilities, but some people just follow what they say——
As for Erjia, Li Ziyun just nodded, because generally speaking, Erjia is a well-connected household, like Mr. Xue, and the black and white duo are also there. One of these two is Wei Kai's younger brother.
, one is Yuan Chun’s clan brother——
These two people naturally treated Li Ziyun with indescribable respect, but Li Ziyun did not treat them specially, which made everyone who knew their identities feel a little more respectful...
Basically everyone was satisfied with Li Ziyun's arrangements for the Jinshi. He did not favor anyone or exclude anyone. Even Lin Chaoyang, who had offended Li Ziyun, treated him the same. Everyone expressed their approval of Li Ziyun in their hearts.
——
After the arrangements were made for the Jinshi, the imperial examination was concluded successfully. Next, Prime Minister Zhao Linfu talked about a few things in a nonchalant manner, and then the ministers reported their work in turn, and the envoys went through a few nonchalant impeachments.
Li Ziyun was also unambiguous in solving the problems one by one and was praised by everyone——
Finally, Xie Li, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said: "To King Wu, an urgent report came from the Yuzhou Observation Envoy yesterday. Lin Taibai, the State Counselor of the Western Wei Dynasty, will arrive in Beijing in the near future..."
"There is also an urgent report from the Shuzhou Observation Envoy. Dugu Wentian, the Grand Protector of Dahua, and Dugu Yuyan will be arriving in Beijing soon..."
"There is also an urgent report from the Jiuyuan Observation Envoy. Master Cang Yue of Yijiang Pavilion of the Northern Qi Dynasty will arrive in Beijing soon..."
"There is also an urgent report from the Jiuze Observation Envoy. The Southern Barbarian Protector Grandmaster, King Dalihu, will be arriving in Beijing in the near future..."
"There is also news from the Holy Temple that there is no one in the Holy Temple and he will be arriving in Beijing soon..."
