Chapter 549: The ministers knelt down to save their lives
The next day, Wu Yuan was forcibly woken up by Xin Ruyan.
According to Wu Yuan's plan, just like before, he would sleep until he woke up naturally and then go to the morning court.
However, Xin Ruyan is no longer indulging Wu Yuan this time. In Xin Ruyan's words, you can be a cynical prince, but you must not be an incoherent emperor.
Wu Yuan couldn't resist Xin Ruyan, so he had to get up and change his clothes obediently.
After coming out, I found that Yan Fei had been waiting for a long time. Today Yan Fei looked heroic, giving people a feeling of being capable and shrewd.
Even the clothes are on the neutral side, a bit like a woman pretending to be a man, but she doesn't deliberately cover up anything.
This level is indeed easier for the ministers to accept. It seems that Yan Fei has put a lot of thought into it.
At this moment, when Wu Yuan appeared in front of him wearing a dragon robe, Yan Fei also felt dazzled and fascinated.
Even if Wu Yuan is not awake yet, he still has a hint of majesty in him.
The next second, Yan Fei and the surrounding maids and eunuchs all knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor."
This sound actually made Wu Yuan energetic.
They were all members of the East Palace, and Wu Yuan was not rigid and said casually: "Let's settle down."
But even if the tone is understatement, it still makes people dare not neglect it and feel awe in their hearts.
Xin Ruyan raised the corners of his mouth and murmured: "Finally, he looks like an emperor."
From today on, Yan Fei plays the role of the internal manager, but she is a powerful internal manager.
Fortunately, Xin Ruyan was worried that Yan Fei would be under too much pressure, so he took away part of his power, that is, he handed the national jade seal into Wu Yuan's hands, and no one except Wu Yuan was allowed to touch it.
Yan Fei was almost moved to tears, and the pressure in her heart was indeed relieved a lot.
Despite this, when Yan Fei followed Wu Yuan into the court and was watched by everyone, she couldn't help but become nervous.
She knew that the most difficult level for her had begun.
After everyone bowed down and bowed, most people's eyes were focused on Yan Fei.
It was just that Wu Yuan's intimidation was there. For a moment, many people's faces turned red and they didn't dare to ask more questions.
But it wouldn't be the same if the stalemate continued like this. Prime Minister Wen took a look at everyone's reactions, and also looked at Yan Fei, who was standing in Eunuch Su's place.
I just know that today, I am afraid that this court will not be as harmonious as imagined.
Originally, because of the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, although everyone was drunk in the end, it was also because of Wu Yuan's arrival and encouragement that everyone regained hope in the court and even gained unprecedented cohesion.
On the way here, everyone was chatting, laughing and feeling confident.
But now, everyone can see that the woman who should not have appeared in the court is standing next to Wu Yuan, and she must have been instructed by Wu Yuan.
In this way, this conflict arises.
Finally, the stubborn person couldn't help but stood up, "May I ask, Your Majesty, who is this girl?"
It can be said that this is already very euphemistic. It seems that no one is really stupid enough to directly question the new emperor Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan glanced at the entire audience and did not embarrass the minister. Instead, he said directly: "Yan Fei, from today onwards, you will be the Chief of Ceremonies. You will be responsible for admiralship, hand printing, writing, and other matters in the hall."
Although the palm print was returned to Wu Yuan himself at Xin Ruyan's insistence, Wu Yuan did not avoid the matter in public.
There is only one reason, which is to let everyone understand how powerful Yan Fei's power is.
As expected, when Wu Yuan finished speaking, all the ministers were shocked.
Yan Fei's heart was also in her throat. Even though she could roughly guess the reactions of these people, she still couldn't help but feel nervous.
Prime Minister Wen also frowned deeply at this time. He originally thought that Yan Fei just took the place of Eunuch Su, and was at best a general manager.
Although it is against the rules, it is not unacceptable.
After all, everyone knows that the Ouchi Manager, the person who is always at the emperor's side, must be the most trusted person.
Wu Yuan didn't seem to like eunuchs very much, and he never had many eunuchs accompanying him. It was understandable to find a woman to serve as the general manager, and it was easy to silence the ministers.
It's just that Prime Minister Wen never thought that he was not a general manager at all, but a chief ceremonial officer with such great power.
But from the privilege of being able to help the emperor handle government affairs, it was comparable to that of the prime minister.
Absurd, even though Wen Cheng was loyal enough to Wu Yuan, it was difficult to accept this absurd fact.
So even though he knew that what he said next would offend Wu Yuan, Prime Minister Wen knelt down with a plop and shouted: "Your Majesty, not allowed."
Even Wu Yuan did not expect that the first person to oppose him would be Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen can now be regarded as the backbone of all ministers. With Prime Minister Wen taking the lead, the others quickly followed and knelt down.
They don't dare to confront Wu Yuan head-on. Although Wu Yuan is not as cold-blooded as Emperor Wu before, no one dares to underestimate Wu Yuan. In comparison, Wu Yuan will not kill you, but he can do it easily.
It will kill you, so it is just as scary.
Yan Fei was also shocked by this scene. She thought she would be opposed by everyone, but when she actually saw this scene, she couldn't help but clenched her fists.
At this moment, she was not so nervous. Not only that, seeing this scene, she felt unwilling and aggrieved, which made Yan Fei want to fight these people to the end.
This was completely different from her original intention. Even on the way here, what Yan Fei was thinking was that if the ministers insisted on objecting, she would be willing to leave in order not to embarrass Wu Yuan.
But now, the actions of these people have aroused her fighting spirit, self-esteem and competitiveness, as well as her pride as Wu Yuan's first secretary, and she is not allowed to choose to escape.
Wu Yuan glanced at Yan Fei and immediately felt that Yan Fei had entered a "fighting" state.
So Wu Yuan also came up with an idea, it would be better to let Yan Fei pave the way for Murong Haitang first.
Then Wu Yuan said calmly: "Everyone, get up."
However, the ministers below refused to stand up, and shouted in unison: "If your Majesty does not take back your order, we will not be able to kneel down."
"Oh, who are you threatening?" Wu Yuan mocked unceremoniously.
Prime Minister Wen's heart skipped a beat. Based on his understanding of Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan was probably very confident.
But Prime Minister Wen didn't want to suddenly have someone who could compete with him appear in the court, let alone a woman.
"Your Majesty, women should practice the laws of women's education, the three obediences, and the nine teachings to control them. These are the rules passed down by our ancestors and must not be violated." Prime Minister Wen shouted sadly.
