The cabinet has a small number of members and is composed of six bachelors, namely Cang Hongshen, a bachelor of Zhongji Palace, Qi Yan, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, Pu Shi, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, Zhong Wei, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, and Wenyuan
Yu Luan, the Grand Scholar of the Pavilion, and Xiang Rui, the Grand Scholar of the Dong Pavilion.
Although the six bachelors are only in the fifth rank, they are the central beings of the entire sacred dynasty and have the greatest real power. Although their rank is not high, their status is very high.
Among them, the cabinet is headed by Cang Hongshen, a scholar of Zhongji Palace, who is honored as the chief assistant of the cabinet. After all, Cang Hongshen is the founder of the cabinet and the one who revived the glory of the Hanlin Academy. He has a unique position in the Holy Dynasty.
Therefore, with Cang Hongshen as the first assistant, countless people in both the government and the public were convinced.
Now, the power of the cabinet is very great, and it is slightly more powerful than the six ministries in both the government and the opposition. This also makes the cabinet and the six ministries like fire and water, attacking each other.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, in the study room, Yu Luan, a great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Xiang Rui, a great scholar of Dong Pavilion, are writing with concentration, without any distractions.
Dong Dong Dong! Suddenly, there was a rather rapid knock on the door, causing Yu Luan and Xiang Rui to stop their movements at the same time, frowning and looking at the door.
"who is it?"
Yu Luan said in a displeased tone. He hated it when others disturbed him while he was practicing calligraphy, which made his originally peaceful mood become quite bad, so his tone became very rude.
"Sir, it's Bachelor Ning who is here to visit. He said he has something important to report and wants to see Mr. Chief Assistant!"
Outside the door, the guard's respectful and frightened voice came.
"Ning Tianlu?"
Yu Luan looked surprised and asked back.
"Exactly!"
The guard outside the door said quickly.
"Wasn't Ning Tianlu appointed governor to go to the five empires to supervise the trial sites?
It's only been about half a month, why are you back?
If someone from the Sixth Department discovers this, they will definitely sue him!"
Xiang Rui put the wolf hair in his hand on the pen mountain and asked doubtfully.
Yu Luan shook his head. He was also full of doubts and said in a deep voice: "Let Ning Tianlu come in and see what he says!"
"yes!"
The guard outside the door left and returned soon. Ning Tianlu opened the door and walked in, bowing to the two bachelors.
"Ning Tianlu! You are so brave. We clearly appointed you as governor to go to the five empires to supervise the trials, but you left your post without authorization and turned a deaf ear to our words. Do you know that this is a serious crime?"
Yu Luan's eyes widened and he shouted loudly, full of energy and majesty.
Ning Tianlu bowed his hands and said calmly: "Two adults! It's really important for me to come back halfway. Otherwise, how could I dare to leave my post without permission?
And if I report it to the Holy One at this time, the Holy One will not blame me!"
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui looked at each other, obviously not expecting Ning Tianlu to be so confident.
"What on earth is going on?
You are actually willing to risk the serious crime of leaving your post without permission to come back, and you also have to meet the chief minister directly?"
Xiang Rui asked in a soft tone.
"I have found a young master!"
Ning Tianlu said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the study suddenly became quiet. Yu Luan and Xiang Rui were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. A bright light burst out from their somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Young Grandmaster?
Is this true?"
Yu Luan asked excitedly.
Ning Tianlu nodded heavily and said: "Of course I take it seriously! Moreover, this person's martial arts talent is equally terrifying. Although he is only half-step to the Martial Emperor, he has already mastered the thirteenth realm, and there is hope for him to become the Martial Emperor in the future! In other words, he will have the ability to become the Martial Emperor in the future.
I have great hope to become a double emperor."
"What?
Martial arts actually masters the thirteenth realm?"
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui could no longer hold back and roared loudly. The young grandmaster had surprised them enough, but they didn't expect that the young grandmaster was actually such a powerful being with martial arts talent.
The two emperors, those who have achieved success throughout the ages, are very few, never exceeding the number of five fingers.
Not to mention achieving Double Emperors, even those who have the qualifications of Double Emperors are extremely few, and now the young grandmaster Ning Tianlu is talking about is such a peerless genius with the qualifications of Double Emperors, how can they not be excited?
Woolen cloth?
"Who is this boy?"
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui asked in unison.
Ning Tianlu thought for a while and said: "This matter is of great importance! If it is not appropriate now, please ask the two adults to call the chief minister and other cabinet bachelors!"
Yu Luan and Xiang Rui looked at each other and nodded secretly. This matter is indeed too important. The two cabinet bachelors are really not qualified to handle it. Everyone in the cabinet must make a decision together.
"The Chief Assistant went to the East Palace to tutor the prince early in the morning. Check the time, it's time to come back!"
Yu Luan opened the window, looked at the sky, then closed the doors and windows tightly, and greeted Ning Tianlu politely: "Tianlu! Sit down quickly, we need to wait! Xiang Rui, go and inform the others.
!”
Xiang Rui nodded, took out the jade slip, and sent a message to the other cabinet bachelors.
Within a stick of incense, the other bachelors returned to the Wenyuan Pavilion study one after another. Qi Yan, the bachelor of Jianji Palace, Pu Shi, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace, and Zhong Wei, the bachelor of Wuying Palace, arrived one after another. After they came back, they were all quite impressed.
There are complaints.
They all had some things to deal with outside, but when Xiang Rui said something of vital importance, they immediately put down what they were doing and rushed back.
After waiting for a while, an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a python robe, walked in step by step.
This old man looks thin, but his whole body is full of energy. There seems to be some kind of light in his eyes, giving people a sense of majesty.
He is Cang Hongshen, the chief minister of the current cabinet and the great scholar of Zhongji Palace.
"I've met Mr. Shofu!"
When the old man stepped into the study, the five bachelors and Ning Tianlu all bowed to the old man.
Cang Hong's deep eyes were sharp. He glanced at everyone present, and finally his penetrating gaze fell on Ning Tianlu.
"reason?"
Cang Hongshen spoke slowly, with a majestic temperament.
Ning Tianlu did not dare to neglect and quickly took out the written memorial and presented it to Cang Hongshen with both hands.
"Master Chief Assistant! What I want to say is all written in this memorial. Take a look!"
Ning Tianlu said respectfully.
Cang Hongshen took the memorial with a look of surprise in his eyes. The so-called memorial was naturally presented to the saint. He did not expect that Ning Tianlu actually planned to give the memorial to the saint. What was the important matter?
Thinking of this, Cang Hongshen opened the memorial and read it leisurely.
However, the more he looked at him, the more serious his face became. The hands holding the memorial tightened. If he hadn't controlled his strength, he might have torn the memorial into pieces.
