"What do you guys think about this matter?" Nan Ruiyuan's voice was very loud, it didn't sound loud, but every official felt like it was blowing up in his ears.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The matter of Ji Yueqin was already settled, and there was no way to change it, but the matter of sending someone to Daliang was indeed up for debate.
At this time, Bo, the little-known head of the Imperial Household Prisoner, said in a neither high nor low voice, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that this matter is of great importance and cannot be judged lightly."
Nan Ruiyuan saw that a master from the seventh grade stood up to question the matter, so he asked, "Yang Yifan, why did you say this?"
Yang Yifan stood at the back, but with a straight back, he said in a loud voice, neither humble nor arrogant: "I think that this matter is afraid of provocation by people with intentions, so that I am at odds with Da Liang. The snipe and clams fight, and the fishermen profit. Please the emperor's enlightenment. "
What Yang Yifan said is not without exception. It is unknown whether this matter is related to the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang. Nan Ruiyuan frowned, thinking about how to properly resolve this matter.
Wang Anming listened to Yang Yifan's words noncommittally, "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the ministers, Emperor Daliang is quite abrupt with the matter of the Seven Princes' Mansion. It may be an internal change, but it is unknown whether anyone has provoked it."
However, Liu Zhiren said with a slightly sneering voice: "Lord Wang, that's not what you said. If this Emperor Liang wants to deal with these seven princes, he shouldn't kill the chief of the county. Otherwise, where will this Liang put me? ?"
Listening to Liu Zhiren's words, Wang Anming said angrily, "According to Lord Yang's words, there are still some oddities in this matter, which still need to be carefully scrutinized."
Liu Zhiren wanted to say something, but Du Zihuan said warmly: "I think that what I need to do now is to send envoys to Daliang to discuss with Daliang. The matter of the Anning County Master must be properly handled, and there must be no conflict. On the one hand, this has to be checked.”
Du Zihuan's remarks not only agreed with Liu Zhiren, but also agreed with Wang Anming's views. After listening to Du Zihuan's words, the two of them had a slight expression on their faces.
Nan Ruiyuan was thoughtful, his knuckles clasped lightly on the table.
"Then, who is the right person for the messenger to send? Nan Ruiyuan's eyes were bright, thinking that Daliang would never give up on this matter.
The Minister of Rites, Xue Guang, heard this and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the matter of sending envoys is related to the Ministry of Rites. This minister believes that Chen Enhua, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, can serve as a representative."
"Hmph, who doesn't know that Chen Enhua is your favorite student and good son-in-law of Xue Guang. Mr. Xue's recommendation may be selfish." Liu Zhiren squinted at Xue Guang, expressing doubts about Xue Guang.
"Master Liu, are you questioning the old man's character?" Xue Guang said angrily.
Chen Enhua is indeed excellent, but according to Liu Zhiren's words, he belongs to his own family, but he has the idea of recommending and supporting his son-in-law. However, being provoked by Liu Zhiren, he was also angry.
Wang Anming saw that Liu Zhiren wanted to intervene in this matter, and not to be outdone, said to Liu Zhiren: "Master Liu, Chen Shilang has a good reputation in the court, and Master Xue has been in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and it can be said that he has done his best for me. How can you be biased? What about your own disciples! What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Zhiren, who was blocked by Wang Anming's words, blushed, and Xue Guang cast a grateful look at Wang Anming for clearing the siege, and his face softened slightly.
Nan Ruiyuan looked at them arguing in the court with cold eyes, and he also understood a little in his heart. This Chen Enhua did have some skills, but as a representative of the messenger, I am afraid that he has a little less enthusiasm.
"Chen Enhua." Nan Ruiyuan interrupted Wang Anming and Liu Zhiren who were still arguing.
Chen Enhua listened respectfully, and he was really happy when he heard his father-in-law support him, but Liu Zhiren's words also made his face turn pale. Over the years, the people in the court have always used this matter behind their backs, and whatever he wants to do will be covered up by the halo of his father-in-law.
Hearing the emperor calling him, he was overjoyed: "The minister is here."
"Are you willing to go to Daliang to discuss with him?" Nan Ruiyuan looked at Chen Enhua's respectful appearance, and was slightly satisfied.
Although he did not say that he should represent Da Yu, Chen Enhua was still very excited. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and the respectful expression on his face became a little thicker, and then he said firmly to Nan Ruiyuan: "I will do whatever I want!"
"Okay!" Nan Ruiyuan patted the table, and his expression finally returned to the joy he had when he was named the county lord. "I have added Chen Enhua, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss Liang's messenger, and assist the deputy governor of Jersey, Su Yue, to go to Daliang."
The ministers were in an uproar, this Su Yue was not in Duan, and was training soldiers in the area of Jersey, and the third prince Nan Xuanjue was learning the art of war by his side.
No one could fathom Nan Ruiyuan's heart. His intention to support Su Yue also sounded the alarm among the courtiers.
This Su Yue does not eat hard and soft, but only listens to the emperor's words, and even the royalists disdain to follow him. In this courtroom, it can be said that there is a clear stream of existence.
Liu Zhiren couldn't tell what his face was on his face, and he was thinking about how the Queen should deal with the news after knowing it.
The hearts of the ministers were turbulent, but Nan Ruiyuan's move clearly did not want the matter to fall into any party, but instead fell on the head of Su Yue, who had no intention of officialdom.
Du Zihuan seemed to have expected this matter, just smiled, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with him, just smiled and passed.
There was a lot of uproar in the hall, and Nan Ruiyuan gave Andrew a wink, and Andrew shouted in a knowing voice: "Retreat!"
The courtiers came back to their senses, bowed to Nan Ruiyuan, and left the hall in an orderly manner.
Nan Ruiyuan watched the courtiers leave like running water, but he lightly squeezed his temples with his hands, closed his eyes and said to Andrew, "Andrew, am I getting old? The courtroom thing is a bit boring."
Seeing Nan Ruiyuan's exhausted appearance, Andrew gently kneaded Nan Ruiyuan's shoulders, "What is the emperor's words? The emperor is a generation of wise men, and now he is only in his prime, how can he say that he is old. So I'm tired, I'm afraid it's just that the emperor has been too tired and tired recently."
Nan Ruiyuan felt tired and relieved, opened his eyes, some inexplicable feelings were dyed in them, turned his head to look at Andrew, and smiled bitterly: "Andrew, you are also old, look at you. I also have white hair, and I am no longer young."
Andrew was terrified and quickly said: "How can this old slave be compared with the emperor, the emperor is the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, and is our real son of the dragon."
Nan Ruiyuan no longer responded to Andrew's words, sighed and told Andrew: "You go and call Du Zihuan to Qingxin Palace, and then send someone to invite Princess Anning to Qingxin Palace to have breakfast with me. "
In response, Andrew hurried out of the hall, gave a few words to the little eunuch outside the door, and rushed towards the Suzaku Gate.
Nan Ruiyuan was in a daze again on the dragon chair, sitting quietly like a rock, motionless, then came back to his senses and got up and walked towards the Hall of Pure Heart.
…
Ji Yueqin just got up here, and before having breakfast, was called to the palace gate to receive an order. Andrew held the holy purpose and read aloud at the door, while Ji Yueqin bowed his head expressionlessly and knelt on the ground to receive the order. The empress dowager did not need to kneel and watched with a smile.
After Ji Yueqin got up, she also accepted the imperial decree with a smile, and stuffed a jade bracelet bestowed to her by the Queen Mother into Andrew's hands.
Andrew pushed and dragged and said, "The little princess is ruining our family! Our family can't accept it!"
Ji Yueqin insisted that Andrew accept it, but Andrew just wouldn't accept it, so he stuck with you and me.
The queen mother looked at Ji Yueqin and Andrew, and said with a smile: "Andrew, since the county master rewarded you, you can accept it and let it go."
Only then did Andrew accept Ji Yueqin's reward, and he said to the queen mother with a smile on his face: "The queen mother is the duty of a servant, so how dare you accept the reward of the little county master."
"This is what my father-in-law deserves, so please accept it." Ji Yueqin said to Andrew with a smile.
"Father-in-law will take more care of An Ning in the future." Ji Yueqin said when she saw that Andrew was still a little hesitant.
"What the county master said, it is also the duty of the old slave to take care of the county master." Andrew responded to Ji Yueqin with a smile from the corner of his eyes, and he also had a good impression of Ji Yueqin in his heart.
"Okay, don't chat here, Yueqin has breakfast with me." The queen mother waited for Ji Yueqin to get up to have breakfast with her, but before breakfast was eaten, the imperial edict came.
Andrew said to the Empress Dowager with some embarrassment: "The Empress Dowager... The emperor invites the princess to come over for dinner..."
The queen mother did not embarrass Andrew, and said to Ji Yueqin with a smile: "Go with Andrew, remember to come back early to accompany my old lady."
"In Yueqin's heart, Niangniang is the most beautiful." Ji Yueqin smiled and followed Andrew away.
The queen mother smiled and looked at Ji Yueqin's back. She didn't know what to think, so she also entered the hall for lunch.
Since Du Zihuan was here with Xiao Xiangzi looking for it, Andrew and Ji Yueqin also rushed to the Hall of Qingxin without haste.
Du Zihuan didn't know why Nan Ruiyuan kept him, and even asked himself to accompany him to dinner. Du Zihuan once wanted to stand out and be able to get his own land in the court, but now he really did it, but the woman was missing.
Du Zihuan resented Nan Ruiyuan in his heart, because he let Duan Rou leave, and because he didn't protect Duan Rou well, he let Duan Rou die in a foreign land.
In fact, why is this not resenting yourself? He hates himself for being useless, and hates that he can't do anything for her now, even if it's just to protect her daughter.
Nan Ruiyuan may have the same idea in his heart, both of them are struggling in the abyss of pain and love the same excellent woman. But life is like this, what you want, just because you can't get it, makes people feel more sad.
After Duan Rou left, Du Zihuan had always been cold and respectful to Nan Ruiyuan, but he was reluctant to face him alone, because Du Zihuan was afraid of pulling out the sadness in his heart, afraid of letting himself sink into it.
Du Zihuan walked outside the Hall of Pure Heart and sighed deeply. Maybe some things should be properly faced before he can be rescued from his pain.
