The first thousand and ninety-four chapters hold steady (2)
Concubine Mei fell ill again and became ill.
However, Princess Mei's illness did not deter A Luo from her determination to enter the court.
The next day, A Luo went to Yiqing Hall.
Sheng Hong went to the Jinluan Hall to hold a small court meeting, and the Yiqing Hall was quite quiet.
A Luo first went to visit Lu Chi, Chen Zhan, and Zhao Qi, and also met Lin Weiwei and others. They were all determined people. They were mentally prepared for the predicament at this time. They were in good spirits and were not depressed. Instead, they laughed.
He comforted and encouraged A Luo.
"Don't worry, the opposition of the ministers in the court is temporary." Lu Chi was gentle and elegant, speaking slowly and calmly: "The emperor is determined and they cannot make him give in."
A Luo nodded: "I know, no one can defeat my father and me."
Lu Chi: "..."
Zhao Qi spoke even more directly: "Those who achieve great things must be responsible and broad-minded. Don't take what the courtiers say to heart."
A Luo nodded: "As long as they do their jobs and are loyal to the court, I won't argue with them."
Zhao Qi: "..."
Chen Zhan was injured all over his body and on his forehead, but he could speak without any hindrance: "Aluo, you might as well move to the Qing Palace first. We must give the courtiers time to buffer and accept."
A Luo nodded: "Giving them one year should be enough."
Chen Zhan: "..."
Some people shrink back when they encounter obstacles. Some people feel guilty and timid when criticized by many people. There are still some people who are extreme and narrow-minded because they are criticized by everyone.
Ah Luo is like an unparalleled jade, blooming with a dazzling look under such polishing.
Hold on.
Even a veteran minister may not be able to do these two words. But a young girl of fifteen years old has done it. With such extraordinary talent, talent and character, she is worthy of being the daughter of Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi.
After A Luo left, Chen Zhan let Qin Sihun help him sit up. He felt a little excited and whispered: "Si Xun, A Luo is really good."
Qin Sihun's eyes also softened, and she said softly: "A'luo has been carefully and strictly taught since she was a child. The Queen and the Emperor have spent so much thought on her."
That’s why today we have the confident, firm and convincing Princess A Luo.
…
A Luo stood in the main hall of Yiqing Hall.
A'luo grew up in the palace and was no stranger to Yiqing Hall. She came rarely during the day, and in the evening, she often came to Yiqing Hall to urge her father to return to Jiaofang Hall for dinner.
But today, standing here, I feel a strange and unfamiliar feeling. There is a kind of exciting and turbulent emotion, surging back and forth in my chest.
Excited, excited, excited, delighted, all of the above.
Guilt, timidity, fear, fear... Such emotions are not absent. But they pass by like waves and quickly subside.
Hold on.
Ah Luo silently recited these words in her heart, and her boiling and agitated emotions were replaced by another kind of calmer and firmer self-confidence.
Eunuch Wei was specially left behind and respectfully stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor is holding a small court meeting in the Jinluan Palace. According to the usual practice, it will take at least two hours. The emperor specially ordered the servants to serve the princess well. What do you have for your highness?
When it comes to matters, just give orders and be dispatched.”
Eunuch Wei is a confidant of the emperor. A Luo is very familiar with Eunuch Wei and respects him very much: "I first entered the Yiqing Hall, and I didn't know what to do. Why don't I ask Eunuch Wei to take me around the hall first and talk to him
Let me tell you how my father reviews memorials and handles political affairs on a daily basis."
Eunuch Wei responded with a busy smile.
There were also palace maids and female officials who were waiting for A Luo. However, A Luo left them all waiting outside the palace. Only the female official Yun Cuiwei came inside.
Half a day later, the Xiaochao gathering ended, and Sheng Hong also returned to Yiqing Hall.
On weekdays, Sheng Hong often summoned his ministers to move to the Qing Palace, sometimes to discuss matters, and sometimes for the emperor and his ministers to have meals together. It can be said that Sheng Hong may not be the most diligent emperor, but he must be the most affable emperor since the founding of the Qi Dynasty.
Today, Sheng Hong was thinking about his daughter and did not summon any officials to come.
"Aluo, are you bored after being alone for half a day?" Sheng Hong asked his daughter with a smile.
A Luo smiled and said, "I went to visit Uncle Chen and the others, and then walked around the Yiqing Hall. I'm not feeling depressed, but I'm a little hungry."
Sheng Hong laughed and ordered people to pass on the meal.
After the father and daughter finished lunch, they each took a short nap. In the afternoon, Sheng Hong began to review the memorial. A Luo stood aside and waited on the pen and ink.
After Sheng Hong finished reviewing the memorial, he handed it to A Luo, and A Luo looked at it carefully. However, A Luo just looked at it and didn't ask any questions.
At this time, she knew nothing about political affairs, and she didn't know what to ask. She calmed down first, watched with her eyes and listened with her ears.
…
As expected, A Luo's move to the Qing Palace was opposed by the ministers.
Those who are eligible to move to the Qing Palace are all important officials of the court. They are either ministers of the cabinet, ministers of the six ministers, or princes of the clan, princes, princes, and vassals.
When the ministers were summoned to the Yiqing Hall to discuss matters, they were suddenly shocked to realize that there was a figure in the Yiqing Hall who should never appear here. You can imagine the repulsion and resistance in their hearts.
For someone like Mr. Lu Ge, who always holds heavy opinions, he can still hold back and think of admonishing the emperor in private.
Those with a slightly irritable and sharp temperament, such as Chen Shangshu, opened their mouths and asked in front of A Luo: "The emperor is summoning ministers to discuss political affairs, and please ask Her Royal Highness Princess Duanrou to stay away."
Sheng Hong's brows did not move and he said calmly: "I just asked A Luo to take care of the pen and ink. She is still young and doesn't know anything about political affairs, and she won't speak carelessly. Don't worry, Minister Chen!"
After all, Chen Shangshu was not a newbie who had just entered the officialdom. He failed to remonstrate directly in person, so he simply united with several ministers to formally submit a memorial, asking the emperor to clear the palace and move it to the Qing Dynasty.
The harem was not allowed to interfere with politics, and even Queen Xie rarely entered the Yiqing Hall. Princess Duanrou "served pen and ink" in the Yiqing Hall every day, which was inconsistent with etiquette and the laws of her ancestors.
Even the emperor could not turn a blind eye to such a memorial.
So, the emperor did another shocking thing.
The emperor ordered Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion to compile the various laws left by the great ancestor when he founded the dynasty into a book, print it into a book, and distribute a copy to all officials in the dynasty.
It is indeed included in the law that the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics. But looking at the ancestral laws, there is no such thing as "not allowed to serve pen and ink"!
The officials were shocked by the emperor's shamelessness.
Chen Shangshu was also so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
In fact, anyone with eyes and brains can see what the emperor wants to do. However, no one dares to pierce this layer of window paper, and no one wants to pierce it.
The current situation is so ambiguous, but there is still no rift between the emperor and the ministers. There is room for change and relaxation between the emperor and the ministers. The ministers argue, noisy and even get violent. Even if it is ugly, it does not damage the stability of the court.
If the emperor and his ministers are at odds with each other and insist on being mediocre, what can he do as a minister?
In the final analysis, this is the world of the Sheng family, and this is the empire of the emperor.
Everything in the court is decided by the emperor!
