The emperor became strong in an instant, shocking the entire temple. The eyes of the ministers were full of fear. Over the years, they also knew the general character of the emperor. He was unwilling to participate in government affairs, fun-loving, martial, and happy when he was happy.
Extraordinarily gentle, and extremely cruel when angry. After understanding this, the ministers never did anything to make the emperor unhappy.
In the past, they dared to persecute Emperor Xiaoxian and even Emperor Xiaokang because they were all wise kings and would not easily get angry with talented people. Even if they angered the emperor, at most they would be warned or reprimanded. But Liu Qu was different.
Ah, if he offended him, he would either be taken to deal with it by Yuan Shang, or he would be dealt with by the emperor himself. Therefore, after the emperor questioned him like this, all the officials suddenly fell silent.
They don't want to leave the temple when they get old, but they don't want to live until they are old.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Liu Yi was also a little sluggish. He looked at Zhuge Liang in the distance. Zhuge Liang was still so calm. It seemed that he had expected that the emperor would speak, or he had already planned it before convening the court meeting.
, he told the emperor what he was thinking and got the emperor's support. The more Liu Yi thought about it, the more he thought about it. If he hadn't received the emperor's support early, how could Zhuge Liang have been so calm and calm all the time?
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's image of a peerless capable minister in Liu Yi's mind seemed to be shaken. However, Liu Yi had no choice. With the ministerial office and the court meeting, it seemed that the power of the emperor was clearly divided, but
The question is, whether you are a minister or a court councilor, are you qualified to challenge the emperor? Under the emperor's order, all fights are meaningless. No matter how high the status of the temple is and how many people there are, they are still ministers after all.
The emperor is the final judge of the temple. If he steps down personally, no one can be his opponent.
Liu Yi was very clear about this. Therefore, after the emperor opened his mouth, the matter was settled, and no one would have any objections. Starting from Emperor Xiaokang, the emperor's power has been continuously strengthened, including embroidering clothes and supervising
, various systems, and even divided the three princes. If the three princes in the past could really jump out and debate with the emperor, even Emperor Xiaokang could not ignore the suggestions of the three princes and issue orders.
But now there are no more three princes. The power and status of the three orders are far less than the three princes of the past. The power in their hands has also been divided by the so-called servants. Liu Yi looked a little embarrassed. In his heart, he did not support Zhuge Liang.
Regarding the retirement system, the temple was silent for a long time. Liu Yi just came out and said slowly: "In my opinion, this matter has been settled as it is. Do the ministers have any objections?"
He still had to get out of the siege. The duty of Zhongshu Ling was to help the emperor take the blame. This system could not be decided by the emperor. Otherwise, if something went wrong, should he blame the emperor or Zhuge Linggong? Neither should, except
The person who should be blamed was Liu Yi. It was he who passed this decision in the temple meeting. Everyone saw it clearly, but they didn't say much. After Liu Yi spoke, the officials accepted their fate.
The older ministers seemed to have lost all their energy at this moment, and they all became a little decadent.
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang with unfriendly eyes. They thought the same thing as Liu Yi, and were a little dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's behavior of contacting the emperor in advance. As for the many veterans in the temple, they were not only unfriendly, there were several people.
, his eyes were even filled with murderous intent. Zhuge Liang never opened his mouth to explain anything. After the court meeting, there was no need to discuss anything else. Liu Yi finished the court meeting hastily and left the hall in a hurry.
.
Kuai Yue walked to Zhuge Liang's side. He turned his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and smiled, "Soon, Duke Ling Zhuge will leave the temple. I hope that your Duke will not regret what happened today."
"I've never regretted anything."
"That's good." Kuai Yue nodded and suddenly laughed. The laughter was full of bitterness. He left the hall so wildly. Listening to the laughter in the distance, Zhuge Liang just lowered his head and even
Don't take a look.
Chen Lin stood in the main hall, reluctant to go out. Looking at the familiar scenery around her, the young man who served as his right-hand man looked at him helplessly, "Master... we'd better leave. Don't do this again."
", but no matter how the young man tried to persuade him, Chen Lin refused to leave. Her feet seemed to be rooted in the ground. He looked at them for a long time and then said: "Si Zong... I will find a way to let you come.
Take over my position...you must do a good job."
"I'm still young, so whoever wants to be a servant will do it. Master, let's leave as soon as possible!" the young man said disdainfully.
"Si Zong, I haven't finished writing my hymn yet... You have to help me finish it..." Chen Lin said. Only then did the young man notice the red eyes of his master.
Chen Lin looked like she was explaining the funeral affairs, which shocked the young man, "Master, you still have to write this thing. No one can write it well except you!", the young man said.
After persuading her for a long time, Chen Lin just walked out of the temple in a daze.
Just as she reached the door, Chen Lin suddenly burst into tears and shouted in pain:
"I'm old."
Of course, not everyone is so sad. Some people choose to let go and are extra free and easy. Just like Kuai Yue, he laughed and took off his official uniform. Such a disrespectful behavior caused everyone to shout.
Waiting and watching, Kuai Yue didn't care, "Zirou! I can finally go to your grave and accompany you properly!"
There was also Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei stood up, many people were vaguely guarding Zhuge Liang, including Yuan Yao, Cao Zhi, Deng Ai and others. They were all worried that this guy was furious.
I will fight with Zhuge Linggong later. This guy is not an ordinary person. He has a violent temper. Yournggong is no match for him. Even though he is old now, he is still the most reckless man in the temple who cannot be provoked.
Sure enough, after they gathered around Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei walked towards Zhuge Liang, which made Yuan Yao and others even more panicked. He wanted to pull a few more people over, but Zhang Fei frowned and looked arrogant.
Walked in front of him.
"Ha!!!" Zhang Fei shouted and raised his fist suddenly. Yuan Yao and others turned pale with fright. Cao Zhi was even frightened by him and fell to the ground. Even Zhuge Liang hurriedly opened his eyes.
His eyes looked at Zhang Fei in front of him with uncertainty. Seeing their expressions, Zhang Fei grinned and put down his fist, "Hahaha, you look like this, you still want to protect Mr. Ling???"
He mocked mercilessly, and walked out of the hall with a smile, regardless of the shameful expressions on Yuan Yao and others' faces.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the hall, he met Man Chong. Man Chong was also standing at the door at the moment, looking at the Houde Hall in the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking. Zhang Fei walked up to him and said, "Bo Ning!!
!" Zhang Fei's voice made Manchong tremble all over. He turned around and looked at Zhang Fei behind him, "Hahahaha, I have wanted to get acquainted with you for a long time, but in the temple, I can only be with you.
Enemy, if you are free, let’s go have a drink???”
"Good." A smile slowly appeared on Man Chong's solemn face.
Everyone left one after another, but Zhuge Liang did not leave. Liu Qu sent the Huangmen to ask Zhuge Liang to go to the Houde Hall. When he followed the Huangmen to the Houde Hall, Liu Qu had just won the crown and said, "Your Majesty." Ah, you didn't tell me before you did this...If your father-in-law wants to implement something like this, just tell me directly. I will ask my uncle to speak up in the temple and let him speak on my behalf. I will express my consent again. No. Is it okay?"
"In this way, no one will be hostile to your father-in-law, and no one will dare to be hostile to me. How wonderful."
Zhuge Liang was silent. In this way, we are both fine, but Liu Linggong was killed miserably. He thought for a long time, but finally did not say anything. He said: "Your Majesty, I am not thinking carefully."
"Okay, Lord Zhuge... Thank you very much." Liu Qu said suddenly. Zhuge Liang was stunned and hurriedly bowed, "I don't dare!!" How could Liu Qu let Zhuge Liang salute and hurriedly saluted him? He helped him up without saying anything and let him sit down. Liu Qu just continued: "It's just a blessing for your lordship. Alas, if I had known your lordship's thoughts, I would never have allowed it... But , there is no need to say more now.”
"Since the veterans are going to rest, the people who will replace them must be enough. The decades of construction of the official school will finally play a corresponding role... Your Majesty, you told me before that the assessment Are you thinking about this when there are too many people and not enough official positions?"
Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to answer, Liu Qu said with a wry smile: "It's just a pity for the temple princes, but they have indeed been busy all their lives for the great man... It's time to enjoy it..."
On this day, the emperor and Zhuge Liang chatted for a whole day. The emperor did not go to play or practice martial arts. He spent the whole day in Houde Hall. This was the first time that such an abnormal situation occurred. It was not until the evening that Zhuge Liang left Houde Hall. De Dian returned to his mansion. As soon as he approached the mansion, he heard Princess Raoyang's angry scolding and a fat figure walked out of the house.
This person was Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked very bad. When he saw Zhuge Liang, he didn't say anything. He just snorted coldly and got on the carriage.
When Zhuge Liang walked into the mansion, Princess Raoyang was angry. When she saw Zhuge Liang entering the door, she even shouted angrily: "What on earth did you do today? Yi'er is already the fourth person to come to me to complain." , each member of the Liu clan came to me crying, what’s going on?”
"I didn't do anything... I just eliminated the last possibility of decline."
