Gu Yanxi's two decrees shocked everyone. Immediately afterwards, he announced a series of official appointments in a swift and resolute manner. Some of the names even sounded unfamiliar to the civil and military officials in the court. Then, without giving anyone a chance to speak, he announced his withdrawal from court.
The huge council hall was in deathly silence.
Knowing that 32 positions were vacated, they put all their efforts into thinking of candidates, and some even met privately to reach a deal. What was the result? They didn't even have a chance to make a suggestion, and the candidates were decided directly!
Who is that Cheng Yi? I've never heard of him. Where did they pull this person out of
The second prince and the third prince have already entered the court. There are many people surrounding them. Judging from the number, there are more people on the third prince's side.
The ministers did not come to take sides at this time, but to inquire about the news.
But in fact, the two princes were more frightened than others. Today I am just announcing it. They saw it with their own eyes in the execution hall yesterday. They dreamed of being whipped at night. Now they have psychological trauma when they see the whip!
However, no matter how impatient they were in their hearts, the two of them were now smiling as if they were in spring breeze, trying their best to show themselves, not only to the ministers who had already sided with them, but also to those who had not yet taken sides. Now that the eldest son, who held the title, had fallen, their chances would be even greater.
Even the Second Prince, who was always restrained, could not suppress his excitement at this moment, and there was some ambiguous meaning in the look he gave the Third Prince.
The third prince snorted in his heart. No matter how well he hid himself on weekdays, wouldn't he be exposed at this time
The boss is still qualified to fight with him, but is he worthy
Several old ministers stood aside and looked at each other, shaking their heads. They had noticed yesterday that something was wrong with the emperor, but they didn't expect that he would even send the leader of the Seven Stars to act as regent. What a storm!
Gu Yanxi went to the imperial study, and soon a series of government decrees were issued.
Lai Fu handed over today's memorials. He picked out a few and flipped through them, his eyes full of anger. "Is the memorial always filled with this kind of nonsense? What's the point of having them if even this little thing needs the Emperor's uncle to decide? If they can't handle it, find someone who can."
Lai Fu bent down deeply and was about to take the memorial away, but Gu Yanxi held him down and ordered without even looking up, "Go and ask Si Su to send us the news within five days, no, ten days."
A man from Yi Su appeared, saluted Gu Yanxi, and disappeared quickly.
While waiting, Gu Yanxi read the entire memorial at a glance. The head of the four residences arrived just in time, holding up four booklets in his hands.
The news from the four departments were divided into four categories: people's livelihood, officials, changes in neighboring countries, and changes in the country. Gu Yanxi flipped through a few pages of each book, and for a moment he didn't know whether he felt more sad or fortunate.
If Ah Zhi had not provoked and reminded him with words, he would have accepted the arrangement of his uncle the Emperor. That is why he would have seen these memorials and learned that the news that the Qishusi had received ten days ago had not been reported by the civil and military officials in the court until now.
He no longer wanted to think about whether they didn't know or were hiding the truth. The emperor's eyes were covered and his ears were blocked. If he hadn't learned today that his uncle was being chased and blocked by the ministers, he would have thought that his uncle knew about what the Seven Stars Division had reported in the past.
But since the emperor's uncle knew that the ministers had concealed the truth and did not report it, why did he not change the current situation
Gu Yanxi rubbed her fingers together, looked at Lai Fu beside her, turned to a certain page in the booklet of Qisu Si Minsheng and handed it to him, "Take a look."
Lai Fu took it with both hands. His hands trembled as he looked at the records. He looked at the date again and recalled what happened in the court that day. He shook his head and reported, "I remember that this matter was not mentioned in the court."
"The Seven Mansions will send a message once a day. If there is an emergency, it will be delivered immediately after receiving it."
"Yes, that's true." Lai Fu pursed his lips and said with some difficulty: "It's just that the emperor has been resting more recently."
Gu Yanxi, who had read the emperor's daily notes, naturally knew what was going on. After all, the source was still with the golden elixir.
Gu Chengde! If Gu Chengan doesn't kill you, I will kill you too!
Gu Yanxi was shocked and angry, and ordered in a cold voice, "Notify the ministers to hold a court meeting in half an hour."
Lai Fu responded and stepped back. When he walked out of the imperial study, he saw Miss Shaoyao running towards him with a huge package in her arms. He hurriedly greeted her.
Shaoyao waved and ran into the imperial study, threw down her veil, and held up the package, laughing, "Huahua had someone deliver it."
Gu Yanxi's anger suddenly subsided when she heard that name, and she became gentler.
Shaoyao stepped forward and was about to push the memorials on the desk and put away the lunch box, but Gu Yanxi grabbed her and took the lunch box to the resting place at the back.
There were still two food boxes with different flavors, but Fudong had always been partial to Shaoyao and gave her an extra snack.
Shaoyao was so happy that her mouth corners stretched to her ears, and she waved it in front of Gu Yanxi as if showing off.
Gu Yanxi usually didn't like to eat overly sweet snacks. No matter how exquisite the ones made in the palace were, he would only eat one when accompanying his grandmother. However, he never disliked the snacks from the Hua family. He immediately picked up one with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Brother Yan!" Shaoyao shrank back holding the snack like a treasure, regretting so much that she wanted to chop off the hand that she had just stretched out to show off.
Gu Yanxi ignored her and was in a good mood when he saw that the food box was full of his favorite dishes. Of course he knew that it was Fudong who made it and the dishes were also arranged by Fudong, but this did not prevent him from crediting all the good things to Azhi.
Even if he had to face a bunch of troublesome people in half an hour, it would not affect his good mood at the moment.
"Where's the person who delivered the meal?"
"I asked, and they said they were not in a hurry to go back." Shaoyao looked up, "Did Huahua know something?"
"kindness."
"You really know?" Shaoyao was surprised, then nodded, "That's right, there is nothing Huahua doesn't know, Brother Yan."
Gu Yanxi looked up, "Will the emperor know that we are familiar with Huahua?"
"Won't."
"I'm a little worried." Shaoyao poked at the rice grains, "Huahua works so hard to do this and that for the Hua family, I'm worried..."
"Won't."
"Brother Yan..."
"If I say no, then I won't."
Shaoyao nodded. Her trust in Brother Yan came from the bottom of her heart. If Brother Yan said no, then no.
"Get her something to defend herself."
Shaoyao stood up immediately. "Someone wants to touch Huahua? Who? Didn't you arrange someone?"
"Just in case." The emperor's uncle didn't know, but the princes might not. Even if they would behave themselves for a short period of time, they would definitely try to find his weakness once the situation calmed down. And his weakness right now is Azhi.
He had made sufficient preparations but was also afraid of the unexpected. Shaoyao's move was to prevent just that unexpected event.
