But it was Ji Feihua who appeared in Tianhe Hall wearing purple palace clothes.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other. According to the past laws of Dakang, eunuchs were not allowed to go to court to participate in political discussions. Although Ji Feihua was arrogant and domineering, he had never appeared at the court meeting in the past. Today, he made an exception and came here without knowing his identity.
What are your plans in mind?
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes widened. It was no accident that Ji Feihua appeared at this time. Could it be that he took this opportunity to deliberately test the bottom line of civil and military officials? With Ji Feihua's current power, even Zhou Ruiyuan, the left prime minister, did not dare to do so in public.
There was a conflict with him, not to mention other civil and military officials. Everyone was weighing their own weight secretly in their hearts, but no one took the initiative to rebuke Ji Feihua for not appearing here.
Ji Feihua came to the Tianhe Hall and stood there, respectfully saying, "Long live my emperor!" He knelt down.
Long Yelin had hated him deeply for a long time, but due to his power, he had to swallow his anger, suppress the anger in his heart, and said kindly: "I love you!"
Ji Feihua stood up.
Long Yelin said: "Ji Aiqing, what important matter do you have to report at the court meeting?" He was reminding Ji Feihua that this is the place where the emperor and officials discuss national affairs. You are just a eunuch and should not appear here.
here.
Ji Feihua said: "Your Majesty! Unless there is an urgent matter, I would not dare to disturb your Majesty and the ministers' discussion. I have just received a secret report from the north. It is of great importance. I dare not delay, so I broke the previous rules and came to see you.
Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Long Yelin nodded and said: "I forgive you for not being guilty, please tell me quickly."
Ji Feihua straightened up and looked around the crowd. His eyes finally fell on Wen Chenghuan's face. He sighed and said: "The two ships escorting the princess to Yongdu to get married were attacked in the center of Yongjiang River. The two ships were in panic.
They collided with each other and sank one after another due to severe damage. The delegation accompanying the relatives suffered heavy casualties..."
Long Yelin couldn't wait to ask: "How is my imperial sister? How is my imperial sister now?"
Wen Chenghuan also looked forward to it, his eyes looking at Ji Feihua full of prayer and pity. If Ji Feihua told him that his son was safe, he would be willing to give up all actions against Ji Feihua.
Ji Feihua lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. According to reliable information, Princess Anping has been rescued by the Yong Army who rushed after hearing the news. Master Wu and Hu Xiaotian are fine. There are about 30 surviving members of the mission.
"Ji Feihua deliberately passed the news about Wen Boyuan.
No matter how scheming Wen Chenghuan is, he is still an ordinary father after all, and caring can lead to chaos. He has been confused by the sudden bad news and said in a trembling voice: "Eunuch Ji... is there... is there any news about my family Boyuan?
?”
Ji Feihua did not look at him, but said to Long Yelin: "Your Majesty, General Wen Boyuan unfortunately died!" His words were not loud, but to Wen Chenghuan's ears, they were like thunder.
Wen Chenghuan burst into tears and just called "my son!" before fainting. Even his former political opponents felt sympathy for Wen Chenghuan when they saw his condition. The surrounding ministers all praised Wen Chenghuan.
Surrounded by people, some people rushed to call the imperial doctor, and some people helped him knead his chest and squeeze his heart. Wen Chenghuan finally calmed down and said in pain: "Bo Yuan... my son... my miserable child...
…”
The court meeting has arrived and it is no longer possible to continue. Long Yelin stepped down from the throne and came to Wen Chenghuan, holding his hands. He said sincerely: "Master, my condolences, you must hold on, I
I still need to rely on you to make suggestions, and my country and the country need to rely on your assistance. Boyuan has a spirit in the sky and doesn’t want you to be so sad."
Wen Chenghuan looked at Long Yelin. Tears were streaming down his face. He was so filled with hatred. If it weren't for you, the bastard emperor, how could I have let my son take risks? He said sadly: "Your Majesty, Boyuan...he is dead."
It must be unjust..."
Ji Feihua said on the side: "According to the news from the front, General Wen's body has been salvaged by the Dayong side. It should be in Nanyang Water Village at present, and the princess and other survivors are also there. Whether General Wen was unjust or not?
What grievance is there? I hope your Majesty will investigate thoroughly as to why this happened."
Wen Chenghuan said with tears: "Your Majesty, please give my son justice. He... was loyal to Dakang and dedicated himself to death. I hope your Majesty will find out the truth as soon as possible..."
Long Yelin originally wanted to award the reward at the court, but seeing Wen Chenghuan's extremely sad look, it seemed that it was not the right time to award the award. He glanced at Ji Feihua. Ji Feihua's words just now were obviously innuendo, so he let go
Opening Wen Chenghuan's hands, he asked Ji Feihua: "Have you found out what happened?"
Ji Feihua said: "Your Majesty! The specific matter is not clear yet. I have sent people to investigate thoroughly. I just heard that when he was in Cangmu County, General Wen transferred 200 soldiers from the Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun to add to the team.
, and this happened right after.”
Long Yelin said angrily: "Zhao Dengyun, as the admiral of the Navy, was so negligent in his work. He did not take protective measures for such a big thing as my imperial sister crossing the river. He conveyed my will and quickly summoned Zhao Dengyun to the capital to report to me personally.
Explain this matter. If this incident is related to him, I will never let him off lightly."
"Yes!" Ji Feihua accepted the order.
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should not be rushed."
Long Yelin was furious and had no good feelings toward Zhou Ruiyuan, his former teacher. He said coldly: "It's too hasty? What does it mean to be too hasty? My imperial sister was assassinated, General Wen died for the country, and most of the envoys were killed or injured. You let me
Not urgent?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Your Majesty, there is a civil unrest in Wuxing County. Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He may have had no choice but to deal with this matter."
"I don't care what difficulties he has, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. No matter who makes mistakes in this matter, I will not show mercy."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "I don't understand something, and I would like Eunuch Ji to explain it."
Ji Feihua said: "Prime Minister, please speak!"
"The shipwreck occurred in the Yongjiang River. The center of the Yongjiang River is the dividing line between Dakang and Dayong. In which country did the incident occur?"
"Feihua doesn't know, and is being investigated and confirmed. But no matter where it happens, it's not that simple behind it."
After retreating from the court, Ji Feihua quickly left Tianhe Hall, but heard someone calling him from behind: "Eunuch Ji, please stay!"
Ji Feihua stopped and saw Zhou Ruiyuan catching up. He stopped and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, I wonder if you have any other advice?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Eunuch Ji, does he know that there is civil unrest in the north?"
Ji Feihua said: "What I pay most attention to on weekdays is only the emperor's diet, daily life, and physical condition. No matter what happens in the palace, I rarely pay attention to national events."
Zhou Ruiyuan said meaningfully: "It seems that I heard wrong."
Ji Feihua smiled and said: "People's opinions are worth their weight in gold. A wise person like the Prime Minister will definitely not believe the rumors from the outside world."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "There was civil unrest in Wuxing County. The emperor personally ordered Admiral Zhao to send the navy to cooperate with Wuxing County to quell the civil unrest. Now if Zhao Dengyun is transferred to the capital, the situation in northern Xinjiang will become even more chaotic.
If it doesn’t go well, it will get out of hand.”
Ji Feihua said: "It's no wonder that the emperor was angry when such a big thing happened to the wedding mission. In any case, Zhao Shuai was still negligent in this matter. If he could pay more attention and send more people to escort the princess, maybe
Such a tragedy will not happen."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "If the marriage between the two countries fails, they will not become enemies. But if the Northern Xinjiang is in chaos, the Dakang Committee will be over. As officials of the Dakang, you and I should not want to see such a situation happen."
Ji Feihua said: "My lord, what you said is wrong. You are an important minister of the country, but Feihua is just a servant in the palace. I don't understand the important affairs of the country, and I won't interfere."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Do you know, Eunuch Ji, that the emperor is currently busy with the matter of establishing an heir?"
Ji Feihua smiled and said: "I have heard some rumors. Could it be that the emperor has already chosen the prince?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Who do you think Eunuch Ji is suitable to be the prince?"
Ji Feihua laughed: "What's wrong with you today, Prime Minister? You always ask these topics that make me embarrassed."
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled calmly and said: "There are only you and me here, we might as well talk about it with an open mind."
Ji Feihua said: "Since Emperor Taizong, we have established rules that eunuchs are not allowed to discuss politics. Prime Minister, this is asking me to break the ancestral rules. However, I have always admired the Prime Minister very much. Since you ask me
, then Feihua will boldly say that in fact, there are only two candidates in His Majesty's eyes, one is the eldest prince, and the other is the third prince, in my opinion they are not suitable."
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyebrows moved. He thought that Ji Feihua would not dare to say it openly, but he did not expect that Ji Feihua would be so frank.
"Why?"
Ji Feihua smiled and said: "A qualified monarch does not necessarily have great abilities, let alone great ambitions. The key is to know people well and appoint them well, and more importantly, to be tolerant of others, to unify the world and revitalize the country. Such ambitions
The price will inevitably be met with rivers of blood and war, and it seems that today's Da Kang can no longer afford it."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Eunuch Ji's views are really unexpected."
Ji Feihua said: "Actually, Mr. Zhou understands better than anyone else that the more seriously ill a patient is, the harder it is to use strong medicine. It is indeed a blessing for the great prosperity to have a loyal minister like the Prime Minister to share your worries." These words are correct.
Zhou Ruiyuan said it to the emperor himself. He said this now to express his approval of Zhou Ruiyuan's views, and to hint to Zhou Ruiyuan that his every move cannot be hidden from his own eyes. (To be continued, please search.
