In the morning court the next day, Baili Mingyu wanted to see who was willing to fill the vacant position of imperial censor, and also to see how many factions there were in the court, so that he could eliminate them one by one.
"My beloved ministers, the vacancy of imperial censor cannot remain empty forever. I would like to hear your opinions, please feel free to mention them." Come on, the time has come to show your loyalty.
There was silence in the main hall, and no one stood up to respond. Baili Mingyu was furious in his heart. Okay, he has learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb. It is really good to put on a high-spirited attitude that it has nothing to do with him. Are you afraid of wading into muddy water? Then he just made it impossible for them to escape.
"Since no one has come forward, let's start with Master Nalan." Humph, I want to see who you want to recommend.
Nalan Lingyu stood up respectfully and looked like a good minister. Didn't Baili Mingyu just want him to recommend him? Then he had to do the opposite. It would be difficult for him to tell the truth from the lies. Clearly, someone as suspicious and sick as him would never use that person.
"Back to the emperor, in my humble opinion, the son of Zhen Shikang, the minister of household affairs, is talented and talented. He is a famous scholar in Bianzhou. I heard that he has been familiar with three books and five classics since he was a child. The imperial censor has always preferred him over others."
"Oh? What about the opinions of other lovers?"
"I second the proposal."
"I also second the proposal."
"I second the proposal." No one stood up to oppose Zhen Caicai. Even the Minister of Household Affairs agreed that his son should take this position. His years of careful teaching would not be in vain.
"Okay, I understand." Baili Mingyu winked at Eunuch Gao. He immediately understood and shouted: "If something happens, we will start, if nothing happens, we will retreat."
"I will respectfully send you off to your Majesty."
Before Baili Mingyu left, he gave Nalan Lingyu a hard look. What a Nalan Lingyu, he even managed to win over Zhen Cai Cai. Didn't he strongly recommend Zhen Cai Cai to be the imperial censor? I really can't do that. After fulfilling his wish, it seems that the imperial censor has to look for a candidate again, but who should he choose? This person must be his confidant.
If Nalan Lingyu had not recommended Zhen Cai Cai, Baili Mingyu originally wanted Zhen Cai Cai to choose. Without looking at the entire Bianzhou, only Zhen Cai Cai was the most suitable. Unexpectedly, the recommendation came from Nalan Ling Yu's mouth. Speaking of which, he had to wonder if there was something fishy about it.
"Eunuch Gao, you said this Zhen Cai Cai, we have no one who can be qualified to be the censor?" Unable to hold back the feeling in his heart, Baili Mingyu couldn't help but complain, so he had to face the person beside him. Eunuch Gao asked.
"Go back to the Emperor, I don't dare to speak nonsense. Your Majesty is wise and wise. This matter will certainly not trouble Your Majesty." Eunuch Gao was used to serving the late Emperor. He was the guy who listened to his words and had a good time. , not to mention that you have to flatter yourself first in everything, only in this way will you not arouse the wrath of the Holy Spirit.
"You are really good at flattering me, that's all. I'm confused too. Why would I ask you, a slave, about such a thing?"
"My servant is telling the truth. Has Your Majesty decided which palace you want to go to tonight?"
"Going to Fengchu Palace?" Baili Mingyu hasn't seen Xia Qingxin in the past few days, so she feels like she misses her a little. Every time she sees her, she gives herself a different kind of charm. Will she feel the same when she sees her this time? Fresh look.
"Okay, I will find someone to inform the Queen later." It seems that the Queen's status is not low in the Emperor's heart, and he will have to behave well in front of the Queen in the future.
Should he go to Fengchu Palace to meet that woman? It’s better not to go. Why does that woman come to mind first when he thinks of spending the night? No, it’s impossible for him to be emotional towards that Xia Qingxin. He just thinks she is relatively new, and maybe he will be over it after a while.
alright.
"Wait a minute, let's go to Yunshang Palace." Thinking of what Nalan did today, he became very angry. When he saw Xia Qingxin and thought about today's things, he felt even more blocked. Why not go to Ning Fei's place to sit and think about it?
It’s been a long time since I’ve been there, and I still miss Concubine Ning’s weak, boneless hands.
"Okay, I understand." It was obvious just now that the emperor wanted to go to Fengchu Palace, but why did he suddenly change his mind? The emperor's heart is indeed unpredictable.
Although this Nalan Lingyu is talented, he is not of the same mind as him. He always finds some reason to weaken his official position, and then makes him disappear without knowing it, so that he can be happy in his heart. Then the man in Fengchu Palace will
Only women will know who is strong.
Just after the incident with the imperial censor, another minister in the court was reported for corruption and bribery. The atmosphere in the morning court this time was obviously not right.
"Your Majesty, the general of our army raped civilian women and openly took her to the garrison camp. He led his subordinates to play with the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman committed suicide because of her strong temper. In order to cover up his crime, he brutally killed her family.
, Fortunately, this woman’s fiancé is alive, in order to execute him on the spot as a military discipline.”
Hu Wei went directly to report. He had tolerated Li Yitian for a long time and knew that he was the emperor's man, but he couldn't do anything to him. Usually he did things flawlessly and it was difficult to grasp the handle. Fortunately, Nalan Lingyu's clever trick
Finally, except for this hidden danger, from now on these hundreds of thousands of troops will be completely our own.
"Okay, this is what an army worm like this should do. It is to clean up military discipline and show the strength of our dynasty. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you don't need to report it to me. I can just solve it myself." Baili Mingyu thought.
There is nothing wrong with this, and I really appreciate Hu Wei doing this.
"It's just that this person's status is a bit special, so I will report to the emperor to see how to deal with it." Hu Wei looked troubled, his expression looked very tangled.
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. No matter how special his status is, he will have to bear the consequences if he commits a crime. Could it be that his status is greater than mine?" Baili Mingyu was very disdainful. He is the master of this world. Whose?
Your identity can be greater than yourself.
"This person is Xue Yi, the second son of the Xue family." The Xue family is the natal family of Baili Mingyu's mother. It is a leading family in the entire Wule. It has never been involved in politics, but it is a leader among literati.
, in order to put an end to the rumors among the people that he was plotting to usurp the throne, the late emperor had the eldest son of the literary leader Xue killed to death. No scholar dared to take up his pen and ink to criticize. From then on, the Xue family held a grudge against the late emperor and the late empress. Baili Ming
Yu worked hard to win over Xue Yi, who was both civil and military, so that he could succeed him as the head of the family and enter the court to help him, but now this plan has come to nothing.
"What? It's Xue Yi!" Baili Mingyu couldn't believe that he heard wrongly. Xue Yi was usually the most cautious. How could he do such a thing? He suddenly smelled a conspiracy. Things happened one after another.
They are all his people. Who is so capable of planning this series of things behind the scenes?
"Fortunately, the emperor is wise and I thank you." Hu Wei said and knelt on the ground to thank the saint. Nalan Lingyu saw that he had achieved his goal and immediately took the lead and knelt down.
"Your Majesty is wise." Looking at the ministers kneeling together under the main hall, Baili Mingyu felt as if he had exerted a lot of strength but punched the cotton, and he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The atmosphere was frozen there. No one dared to get up without the emperor's permission. Wasn't he very happy to praise General Hu just now? Why did he seem to be unhappy again now?
"Everyone of you is really good, quit the court!" Really unable to pretend to smile, Baili Mingyu shook his sleeves and left angrily, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other. It's true that you are with the king like a companion.
Tiger.
Ever since Baili Mingyu failed in the morning court one after another, he stayed in the imperial study room furiously, no longer in the mood to think about women. The secret guards who came and went finally found out the clues after many days, and it turned out to be Nalan.
Ling Yu is up to no good, but we don’t know how many chips Nalan has in his hand, so he can only take one step at a time without taking another step.
It happened that the Ute Kingdom repeatedly harassed the border, and Baili Mingyu finally found an excuse to kill him openly.
"Brother Nalan is really smart. I admire you so much." Nalan Lingyu looked at the soft and weak person, but she didn't expect that her mind was full of real things. If she had a daughter, she really wanted to
Marry her. The more he thought about it, the happier Hu Wei was about to pat Nalan's shoulder again. He looked at Nalan's disgusted eyes and put down his hand. Isn't it just a joke? Is it necessary to be so serious? Even if you have a daughter,
Don't marry him, it's too scary.
"I dare not take it. I think after today's morning court, the Xue family will hate the royal family even more. The eldest son died in the hands of the late emperor, and the second son died indirectly in the hands of the emperor. Even if they don't hate him for trying to win over the Xue family in the future
This thing is impossible." Baili Mingyu, don't you have whatever you want? From today on, I will get rid of whatever you want, and I will not let you waste it until I die.
"Haha, well done. If it weren't for you, I still don't know why I still have a headache." The two of them laughed and talked, and walked out of the palace in a lively manner.
After leaving the palace gate, Nalan Lingyu turned around and looked in the direction of Fengchu Palace. He didn't know what his Qingqing was doing now. He missed her and wanted to hug her, but he couldn't. He had to hold back.
The ministers all think that Nalan Lingyu is very strange recently. He used to be cold and cold, like an immortal who doesn't eat fireworks. Even if someone takes the initiative to say hello to him, he just nods and laughs. Recently, he seems to have changed.
Likewise, everyone became much more cheerful and started joking with General Hu. Although they found it strange, they were still happy because Lord Nalan was more popular than before, so they could bribe him better.
Qingqing, I must have done so many tricks in the court, and killed two people from Baili Mingyu one after another. This time has been enough for him to be very busy, and he will definitely not hang out at your place again. I
I will do my best to protect you until you completely leave that prison. (To be continued)
