This answer of Duke Cheng Guo was once expected and worried by many people.
But at this moment, no one feels anything, because the matter has been settled.
The emperor was also expressionless.
The hall was a little stagnant for a while.
"Maybe I didn't get sick at that time." Fortunately, the official who made the suggestion did not forget his mission and said hurriedly.
"I have asked Miss Jun to take a look." Cheng Guogong said.
"Miss Jun is a doctor, not a goddess." The official sneered and said, "If King Huai is ill, don't we know how to call a doctor?"
Duke Cheng Guo smiled.
"This is just one aspect." He said, "I think if you want to get rid of evil spirits, it is better to come to the imperial city than to the imperial mausoleum."
He looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and any evil spirit must be retreated."
He has boasted like this, how can he still say that he is afraid of evil spirits invading the dragon's body? Doesn't that mean that His Majesty is not a noble person? Some officials don't know what to say.
"Of course, it doesn't have to be sent to His Majesty the Imperial City." Cheng Guogong said, "You can also use violence to fight violence. Evil spirits are also afraid of evil spirits. The soldiers I lead are all those who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have murderous auras. It's not as good as
Select some and send them to Huaiwangfu Town."
There were only two of them talking in the hall, and other officials including Huang Cheng stood aside like puppets. This made the atmosphere in the hall look very strange.
Fortunately, the emperor spoke to break the stagnation.
"Okay, let's just do what Duke Cheng Guo said." He said.
Many times the emperor would not take the initiative to make a decision, but would ask the ministers for their opinions, but today he made a decision so cleanly and neatly.
The emperor was very angry. Huang Cheng clicked his tongue several times in his heart, and he was so angry that he didn't even want to hide it.
"What else is there?" the emperor asked immediately.
Just like that, the topic was changed. Duke Cheng Guo and the official didn't even remember to say the words of gratitude they were going to say. They stopped talking and hurriedly bowed back, looking a little embarrassed.
At this time, the emperor had to rescue the siege. If the siege was not rescued, the emperor would throw down his sleeves and retreat from the court. The emperor would naturally lose face by throwing away his sleeves and withdraw from the court, but Cheng Guogong would lose face, but the emperor would lose face too.
Naturally, he didn't care about Duke Cheng Guo's face, but he wanted to protect the emperor's face.
He had already prepared for this and invited several officials who had reached old age this year to come out to express their gratitude and say some nice words to make His Majesty happy. Huang Cheng was about to wink at the people around him when he heard someone shouting loudly to express his gratitude and come forward.
These old guys were quite discerning. Huang Cheng looked back and his expression suddenly darkened.
Those who came out were not old guys, but seven or eight young officials, headed by Ning Yunzhao again.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, for sending us more manpower. Now the "Qingdu Chronicle" has been completed." He said loudly, then knelt down and kowtowed, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The remaining people also kowtowed and thanked him.
Among them, not only the book revision was completed, but also some people were transferred to the Hanlin Academy because of the book revision, and they took the opportunity to express their gratitude to the emperor.
Perhaps in response to Ning Yunzhao's statement that young people are sincere, what these people said to the emperor made people blush. Many officials present lamented that today's young people are really inferior to each other.
The emperor was also laughed at.
"Okay, okay, if you do your job well, that's the biggest reward for me." He said, and his gloomy eyes disappeared.
At this time, the retired officials also had the opportunity to come out and thank them, but no matter how nice they were to say it at this time, they could not do anything more than that.
The icing on the cake can't be better than providing help in times of need.
The court meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Most of the hundreds of officials dispersed. Only the important high-ranking officials followed the emperor to the Qinzheng Hall at the rear and began to handle real government affairs.
Only this time, the emperor did not summon the court officials as usual, but dismissed the eunuchs. The door of Qinzheng Palace was closed as the emperor entered.
The emperor who entered the door did not have the slightest smile on his face. He raised his foot and kicked down the round stool in front of him.
"My spirit is good and my speech is coherent," he said.
These two sentences are exactly what Duke Cheng Guo said when he described King Huai.
"What? This child is so good, isn't he suitable to be a prince?"
The Emperor continued, pacing back and forth in the room like a trapped animal.
"What an ignorant white-eyed wolf!"
"The dead man is so good, and he still thinks about him!"
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he simply cursed in a low voice and in Shandong dialect. Not to mention that there were no servants in the room at this time, even if there were them, they couldn't hear clearly.
But the eunuch Yuan Bao who walked outside the door understood, he stopped and stopped the other servants.
This is the usual way to deliver breakfast.
"What are you doing? Your Majesty is waiting for us to serve you." The leader of the eunuch said, looking a little unhappy at the sudden appearance of the eunuch in front of him.
"Let's wait a moment." Yuan Bao said, "It's not convenient now."
The chief eunuch was even more unhappy.
When will it be your turn to teach us?
He snorted and ignored Yuan Bao who came forward.
"Your Majesty." He stopped outside the door and shouted with a smile, "Morning..."
He was interrupted by the emperor before he finished speaking.
"roll."
The head eunuch's face suddenly turned red and he retreated sarcastically.
Yuan Bao looked at him sarcastically.
"Is Lu Yunqi here?" the emperor's voice came from inside.
Yuan Bao hurriedly stepped forward and answered through the door. This time, the leading eunuch did not stop him.
"Slave, please call Master Lu right now." Yuan Bao said, then turned and left.
"Is it Yuan Bao?" the emperor's voice called again.
Yuan Bao responded yes.
There was a moment of silence inside.
"No need to call him, come in." the emperor said.
Yuan Bao felt proud in his heart. Did you see that as long as he was around, even Lu Yunqi would stand back?
He responded respectfully and entered under the jealous eyes of a group of eunuchs.
………………..
The ministers waiting in the duty room were a little dull and restless, and many of them were pacing back and forth.
"It seems that His Majesty will not discuss court affairs today." Someone whispered.
"You must be very angry." Someone whispered.
They were talking in a low voice and looked at Duke Cheng Guo who was standing with several military generals.
Everyone knew why the emperor was angry.
Duke Cheng Guo spoke in a low voice with several generals with a comfortable expression, seemingly unaware of the atmosphere in the room.
There were footsteps outside the door, and several eunuchs came in to convey the news that the emperor would not discuss matters today.
"If you have a memorial, you can submit it. We can discuss other matters later," he said.
After hearing this, the officials in the room were about to leave, but Huang Cheng took out a memorial. Seeing him take out the memorial, the officials around him were startled.
"My lord, this is not the right time," an official said in a low voice.
"No, now is the most suitable time." Huang Cheng said.
"However, your Majesty is very angry with Duke Cheng, but you want to reward Deshengchang. This Deshengchang has supported Duke Cheng and is a great help to Duke Cheng... How can your Majesty be happy..." Another official
He also whispered advice.
"Whether you are happy or not, you will know after you try it." Huang Cheng said, stopping them from trying to persuade him any more, and handed the memorial to the eunuch.
The eunuchs have left, and all the officials have also dispersed. What happened today is very important, and everyone must discuss it privately and discuss how to deal with it.
But Huang Cheng was stopped by the eunuch before he had gone far.
"Master Huang, your Majesty has invited you." (To be continued)
