Hunjun’s time is always very happy, so in a blink of an eye, it’s time to start the morning court.
After Xu Mochen knew the truth, he treated all officials with utmost courtesy.
When the sky was dark, the officials would yawn and go to court in twos and threes.
When we arrived at the main hall, we saw armchairs arranged as usual, with thick cushions on the chairs.
The chairs in the front rows are covered with blankets, which can obviously be taken out to cover them when it gets cold.
Immortal cultivators don’t actually need it, but what they need is this intention.
The main hall is surrounded by dozens of smoke cages. The flames inside are blazing, and there are chamberlains nearby who are fanning themselves with big fans, sending bursts of hot air into the hall.
It's winter outside, but inside the palace it's as warm as spring.
Everyone was very satisfied, and it was obvious that the emperor valued his ministers.
After all, he is the young Emperor Ma. The incident of beheading the immortal a few days ago is considered a young and energetic mistake, and it is not unforgivable.
As long as you obey me from now on and return to the harem to plow the fields, everything will be easy to say.
Ensure that Daqian Guozuo will be passed down through the ages.
Everyone sat down in twos and threes, and soon a palace maid came up with hot tea.
Suddenly, the sound of bowl lids clinking together was heard in the hall.
"This tea is worthy of being worshiped, it is very spiritual."
"The water is drawn from Yuquan Mountain. The temperature of the tea is right, the flavor is full, and the aura is also revealed."
"Tell me, Your Majesty, have you compromised on us?"
"How can he not compromise? The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty are in a tight knot. What else can he do as a lonely man?"
"Hey, the selection of concubines for the harem has been going on for almost a month, but there has been no movement."
"Why are you so anxious? We are all watching the Duchayuan fight with His Majesty. Besides, who among the immortal cultivators is willing to enter the palace?"
"How about getting some human women."
"Quiet, this is none of our business, let's take a look first and then talk."
They are buzzing like bees and commenting.
Until a loud voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the ministers stood up to greet the holy driver.
"Sit, sit, sit," Xu Mochen waved and gestured, "What are you doing standing around in this winter? Wrap yourself up in a blanket.
Come on, please add more smokers, it’s not warm enough.”
The ministers thanked him. In fact, they cultivators are not afraid of the cold, but it is rare for the emperor to be caring and caring, and they must respect the emperor.
This is also a tradition left by generations of immortal cultivators. Between the emperor and the emperor of the human race, the etiquette and superficial skills of each other must be in place.
Even if he slaps him casually, the emperor will die.
Xu Mochen smiled: "I haven't seen you for a month, and I miss my dear friends very much.
I am ashamed to say that I am recuperating in the palace. This important military and state matter depends on my dear friends. Look at everyone, they have all lost weight."
The ministers were very moved.
"It's also cold out here," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "If anything happens, I'll tell you soon. If nothing happens, I'll buy some hot wine in the Imperial Garden and let's have a drink together."
Immediately, someone shouted "Long live" and then bowed: "Your Majesty, this imperial garden is the place inside your majesty's palace. We and other foreign ministers are not allowed to enter except for major holidays."
There is a blessing of national luck inside the palace, and if they all go there, they might be taken advantage of.
Xu Mochen was stunned: "What Aiqing said is absolutely true. I am lacking. Let me tell you first what big things happened recently.
If it's a minor matter, just report it directly to the Prime Minister."
"Your Majesty," the Ministry of Rites stood up, "the world has been unified for some time. There are still many meritorious officials in the government and the public. Their achievements and fiefdoms have not yet been determined. This matter is a top priority."
Well, many sects have not been officially enfeoffed.
Although these territories are now in their hands, it is still different with the emperor's appointment.
Xu Mochen smiled: "This is a big deal, I will get someone to handle it immediately.
When it comes to rewards based on merit, the Prime Minister has always been known for being fair and strict. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell the Prime Minister.
Oh, by the way, he has been ill recently, so you can’t disturb him too much."
This is pushing the matter back. You, as cultivators, should figure out what you want to do among yourself first.
For any sect, every piece of land means a spiritual connection, and no one is willing to let it go easily.
Everyone’s expressions were strange.
Xu Mochen didn't notice it: "Is there anything else? I'll leave the court if I have nothing to do. I'm going to enjoy the flowers and drink."
Xu Yiru hooked his fingers, and a censor next to him understood it and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xu Mochen signaled to hurry up.
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the capital recently that Your Majesty stayed with Princess Yong'an every night and the palace location is unclear." The imperial censor took out the memorial, "I don't know whether it is true or not, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look.
Although His Majesty has always been diligent in political affairs and the harem is currently empty, these are just rumors and nothing to be afraid of.
But everything must have a cause and effect. If there are rumors, they may not be groundless. I ask your Majesty to investigate carefully so as not to damage your Majesty's wise and mighty appearance."
Here I am, and I really want to talk about this matter.
The chamberlain presented the memorial, and Xu Mochen opened it and scanned it. It was almost the same as what he knew.
The words are sharp, and some of the more despicable ones are also displayed nakedly.
Quick man!
This is no longer a remonstrance from the censor, but a direct insult.
The other party also acted like they were waiting to see what you would do.
"My dear, since I've already said it's all rumors and slander," Xu Mochen folded the memorial together, "Why should I care about this little thing."
"Your Majesty," another censor stood up and saluted, "Earlier at the palace banquet, Your Majesty was rude in front of the criminal minister Liu Yijun. He made it clear that Princess Yong'an was an orphan of a loyal and good man, and no one should humiliate her.
But as far as I know, during this month, Princess Yong'an did stay in the palace frequently. His Majesty's words and deeds were inconsistent, which caused the people to be upset. It is really an insult to the royal family."
"Oh?" Xu Mochen smiled half-heartedly, "Do you know? Or do you all know?"
The censor was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, this is something that is obvious to all. It is not only known to the ministers but also to the people, so it has been widely spread."
"Your Majesty," another censor stood up, "Princess Yong'an is the princess who was entrusted by your Majesty personally. Although she has no blood relationship with the royal family, the principles of human ethics cannot be abolished.
Although I don’t believe that Your Majesty stayed with the princess, he had some agenda.
But just because I believe it cannot stop the mouths of all the people."
"Your Majesty once said that the people are like water, and the ruler of Sheji is like a boat. Water can carry or overturn a boat." Another censor stood up, "Now the capital is exaggerating the affairs of your Majesty's palace as a source of discussion. Over time, it will be
It is detrimental to His Majesty’s moral standing.”
The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have exerted their efforts.
They are very patient and they are all loyal ministers. I am afraid that I will be too tired every night.
Xu Mochen looked very moved: "Then according to your wishes, how should I deal with it?"
"Princess Yong'an will never stay in the palace again from now on," a censor said righteously, "Your Majesty will never meet the princess alone again."
"I heard that from a foreign land in the north, there is a letter of credence to ask for a princess," another person followed, "Your Majesty does not have a princess of the right age. I think Princess Yong'an is very suitable for marriage."
"That's good to say. After the princess is loyal and good, she will naturally stand up for the country."
"Yes, in this way, the rumors are self-explanatory. Your Majesty stayed in the palace just to make peace and improve your status as princess."
"Your Majesty, these ministers are speaking from the bottom of their hearts. I hope your Majesty will understand clearly."
