The next day.
During the morning court, while the ministers were waiting, they saw Feng Huangye, who was wearing the Prime Minister's official uniform, walking in slowly as if he had his own aura.
Suddenly, everyone in the house was shocked.
Is this Feng Huangye, the son of the sinner Prime Minister Feng and the first son of the Northern Dynasty
How could he appear in the court
And he's still wearing the prime minister's uniform
Could it be that their eyesight is dim
The aged minister couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously and looked again, but the person standing alone at the front was still the handsome young master who had enchanted all living beings and was unrivaled in the world.
Now, everyone was convinced that the young master wearing the prime minister's official uniform was indeed Feng Huangye.
Suddenly, the ministers pointed at Feng Huangye, wondering how he was put into the palace and where did the official uniform come from. Could it be that Prime Minister Feng wore it and kept it secretly
Just when Taifu Lin was about to step forward to question Fenghuang Ye, Yun Xi and the young emperor came to court. Before they arrived, the eunuch's thin voice came from afar.
"The regent has arrived, the emperor has arrived."
Upon hearing the noise, the ministers immediately shut their mouths and returned to their seats to greet Yun Xi and the little emperor respectfully.
Yun Xi held the little emperor who was still sleeping soundly, and walked to the throne surrounded by all the palace people. She gently placed the sleeping little emperor on the soft couch behind the curtain and covered him with it. Nice blanket.
The court time was very early, and it was impossible for the little emperor to really get up. What's more, the morning court was boring and boring, and it was not suitable for a baby who was less than three years old to participate. They couldn't be cruel enough to let such an older child attend. The children wake up early every day and suffer from this.
Therefore, no matter in the past or now, when the little emperor went to court, it was just a formality and a different place to sleep.
Every day, he was taken care of by the nurses and palace maids who helped him change into his dragon robe and put on his beaded crown. In the past, he was handed over to Queen Mother Shen, but now, he was handed over to Yun Xi and held in his arms. Just go to court.
After settling the little emperor, Yun Xi walked out and sat on her throne under the dragon chair.
She announced Feng Huangye's appointment as prime minister directly and neatly. Just as expected, this announcement was like a thunder on the ground, which immediately exploded among the ministers.
She had just finished speaking, and before Feng Huangye had any chance to interact with the ministers, they all jumped out to object.
"No, Feng Huangye is the son of a guilty minister, and he himself is a guilty person. According to the laws of our Northern Dynasties, a criminal cannot even enter the examination room. How can he serve as the prime minister of our Northern Dynasty? I dare to ask the regent. , take it back into your life."
"What Taifu Lin said is absolutely true. I agree with you. If you are a guilty person, you cannot take part in the imperial examination, nor can you serve as an official in the court. Even your descendants cannot enter the official career. If today we set a precedent and destroy the criminals Our most important punishment, in the future, if everyone follows suit, what will happen if the number of crimes increases? If the criminals in the Northern Dynasties who have cases and committed crimes take this as a lesson, what should they do if they want to participate in the imperial examination? Officials How can we set an example for the people when we have become criminals? If things continue like this, won't our Northern Dynasty be in chaos? I ask the regent to think again."
"Both gentlemen are right. Feng Huangye is the son of a guilty minister and a guilty person. He cannot serve as an official in the court, let alone the position of prime minister. The position of prime minister is high and powerful, and he is the head of all officials. Regardless of Kai Fenghuang Ye's identity as a criminal, he is far from qualified in terms of qualifications. If you want to be the prime minister, you must first be talented and capable and be able to convince the public. Secondly, you must make significant contributions to the Northern Dynasties and have high prestige among the people. , to be loved by the people, and finally, you have to start from a low-level official position, work your way up step by step, and gain the recognition and support of all your colleagues. How can Feng Huangye be qualified? How can he be competent? Please take back the regent's order."
“…”
No matter what the ministers said, they all disagreed with Feng Huangye being the prime minister and asked Yun Xi to take back his life.
They have all coveted the position of prime minister for a long time, okay
They had been coveting the former prime minister since he was still in office. After a long time, the former prime minister was removed from his official position, demoted to a criminal and exiled, freeing up the position of prime minister. How could they endure being killed by Feng Huangye who was killed halfway? Take it away
Feng Huangye was young and had no qualifications. If they lost to such a little guy, where would they put their old faces
What's more, the Feng family has occupied the position of prime minister for more than ten years. It has been a long time. They say that things are changing, so it is their turn, right
"Shut up, everyone!"
At the beginning, the ministers still gave advice one by one, but later, perhaps because they got excited, about seventy or eighty of them said at the same time that the roof of the entire court was about to be blown off, and Yun Xi's ears It was buzzing and her head hurt from the noise. Unable to bear it, she slapped the armrest of the seat heavily.
The movement seemed a bit too loud. Although the ministers trembled and immediately closed their mouths, keeping silent, the little emperor behind the curtain seemed to have been shocked in his sleep, and suddenly burst into tears.
this…
The little emperor cried, and all the ministers looked at each other, feeling guilty and distressed.
At their age, what they like most is soft little dolls. The little emperor is so cute and well-made. These ministers like him very much and hate to see him cry.
Therefore, all the ministers looked at Yun Xi eagerly, wishing that Yun Xi could speak and ordered them to coax the little emperor.
However, Yun Xi seemed not to understand the expectations in their eyes. She held her forehead with a headache, opened the curtain and went in. She held the little emperor in her arms and coaxed her up.
It was the age of lethargy. The little emperor who was still crying was picked up. He subconsciously grabbed her clothes and smelled her. It seemed that he smelled the familiar and reassuring smell. He smacked his lips and fell asleep again. It's past.
The crying became smaller and smaller, and soon stopped completely. However, her nose was red, and there were still transparent tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, which occasionally twitched.
After the little emperor fell asleep completely, Yun Xi put him down again and walked out. Looking at the ministers with menacing eyes, she directly used the methods she told Feng Huangye yesterday.
"Everyone has said that you should not be an official if you are guilty. I agree with this point. I also think that officials should set an example for the people. Therefore, they must be honest and upright."
"Well, let's take this opportunity to order the secret guards to conduct a thorough investigation of all the officials of our court. I plan to completely purge the court. Just now, all of you have committed crimes against Feng Huangye. , showing such righteous indignation, I think all of you, sir, are very innocent and have never committed any crime, so you must not be afraid of the investigation by the secret guards, right?"
