drag prince

Chapter 29

In order to be able to watch the drama of changing hands in the imperial court, Jian Lirong asked Camellia to invite the Queen Mother to chat and drink tea in advance.Jian Lirong, who had stolen a day of leisure, changed into an official uniform and went to court after a long absence.Judging from the heroic and high-spirited steps, this is undoubtedly the first time that Jian Lirong went to court willingly and with great interest.

Everyone who met on the way to Huangji Hall greeted them with a smile on their face.The ministers who also went from the avenue to the Huangji Hall in the early court were also infected by Jian Lirong's interest, and responded with smiles.

First of all, Yu Shangli, the censor doctor who went on tour together in micro-clothes earlier: "Young Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are in good spirits!"

"Your Excellency Yu is not bad either. Looking at the glowing red, must something good have happened?"

"That's right, you've seen it all. I'm becoming a grandfather now! The full moon wine and the first birthday gift, the little prince must reward me!"

"Of course! Congratulations!"

While the two were talking, Dong Qingfeng, a scholar of the Grand Pavilion, also greeted him: "It seems that the young prince has been recuperating well during this period of time, and he has gained weight."

"Ah?! How can it be?!" Jian Lirong touched her face in panic, making Dong Qingfeng laugh.

After the next three steps and two steps to catch up with them, Qiu Jiangzhe, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stretched out his big palm and hit Jian Lirong's back with a "slap": "Long time no see~ The little prince is still so small."

The first thing Jian Lirong did after he stabilized his figure was to turn around and use the "Sandbag Series Punch" to beat him fiercely: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle Qiu's belly is getting bigger again." Quan, when will you give birth?"

General Qiu couldn't be bothered to beat him, Jian Lirong's fists and embroidered legs were as gentle as light raindrops to him, but he said: "Even if you really have it, you will kill it."

As soon as Qiu Jiangzhi said this, several people present laughed.

A group of people walked bustlingly. Seeing that the Emperor's Palace was approaching, Jian Lirong saw walking ahead alone. One of the protagonists today, the Prime Minister Li Jinyuan, couldn't help but want to go up and say hello.

The action-oriented Jian Lirong walked quickly to Li Jinyuan's side and said good morning energetically and authentically.

Li Jinyuan, who always looked serious and serious, responded coldly, not affected by Jian Lirong's interest.

Jian Lirong, who knew Li Jinyuan's temperament well, didn't feel displeased. Many civil and military officials had good friends with him, and some were not very close.

Slowing down and going back to the queue just now, Jian Lirong, who continued to chat and laugh with Master Yu and the others, did not notice the dark-faced Zhenbei General Yu Longtian who was walking behind them!

Civil and military personnel enter the court in two classes, and Jian Lirong enters through the left door.Amid the majestic music, all civil and military officials stood up one by one.Then, following the call of "the emperor is here", Xuan Yuan walked out from the apse and sat firmly on the dragon chair.

All the ministers shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live", and after three kowtows and nine prostrations, Xuan Yuan said in a loud voice: "All honors are flat."

"Thank you, long live."

The eunuch took a step forward in accordance with the usual practice, and was about to declare "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat", but Xuan Yuan waved his hand to stop it.

With this stop, the atmosphere above the court suddenly became solemn, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

Xuan Yuan coughed lightly and asked: "General Yu, do you know why I announced you to enter the palace today?"

If Yulongtian didn't go to the court early if he had nothing important to do, now he heard the sound and came out, he frowned slightly after pondering for a while and said: "Please forgive my ignorance, I really don't know."

Xuan Bi's face turned cold: "Yu Aiqing, come and explain the general's doubts."

Yu Shangli, the doctor of the imperial censor, came out and bowed with an ivory wat in his hand: "My minister boldly advises that the reason why the Nanman war, which has not been conquered for a long time, lasted for half a year has been found out. In fact, the battle has already been won half a month after the start of the war. However, General Yu concealed this and did not report it. Instead, he colluded secretly with the Nanmanzi. Later, the funds brought back by the squadron to help the reconstruction of the war zone were used to recruit soldiers and horses. Such a rebellious heart can be seen, and I hope the emperor will clearly observe."

"Is what Yu Aiqing said true?" After hearing Yu Shangli's statement, Xuan Yuan asked Yu Longtian.

"This……"

Seeing Yulongtian hesitating, Xuanyuan yelled and asked: "Are you trying to seek power and usurp the throne by accumulating energy and colluding with foreign enemies?"

"The minister is in charge of the duty of a general, and it is his duty to protect his family and the country. It is his duty to recharge his energy and strength. Expanding diplomacy is also for the safety and security of the country. What is the crime?"

"You still dare to quibble! Since the name is right and sound, why do you need to do it secretly and not report it? Don't think that I won't punish you if I treat you like brothers and sisters!" Yu Longtian's attitude angered Xuanyuan Longyan, "I order you Immediately hand over the soldier talisman and wait for it!"

When arranging this big play called "Using Strategies", Jian Lirong was not able to participate because of the bride's practice, so every move Xuan Yuan and the others made seemed fresh to him.It's just a good show. Seeing this, Jian Lirong couldn't help adding drama to himself: "Brother Huang, there must be something wrong. How could General Yu rebel? Please..."

"Don't intercede for him, or you will be punished together!" Xuan Yuan waved his hand with a cold expression that was not open to negotiation, and asked Qiu Jiangzhe, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to find the military talisman from Yu Longtian's body.

Except for Xuan Yuan, Yu Longtian, Jian Lirong, Yu Shangli, and Qiu Jiangjin, who knew about it in advance, seeing the great achievements and respect of the Zhenbei General, who was deeply respected by the people, peel off his mask, not only was he charged with treason, but he was also charged with treason in an instant. The disgraced officials were stunned, and then began to whisper to each other.

Although whispering in the imperial court was inappropriate, Xuan Yuan wanted exactly this kind of effect at this moment, so he didn't ask for silence.

When Xuan Yuan was secretly happy that the plan was going well, the eunuch outside the hall reported in a drawn-out voice: "Master Shuiming asks to see you."

Why did the national teacher choose this time to come?Xuan Yuan thought to himself, although it is at a critical juncture of the plan, it is not good to neglect the national teacher, so I can only see: "Xuan."

Jian Lirong, who had never seen the national teacher before, looked back curiously, only to see the national teacher Shuiming walking in wearing a row of white clothes with a sense of immortality.

Seeing a lot of beautiful men has greatly improved immunity, but when she saw Suimei, Jian Lirong was still shocked.This time, he was not captured by beauty, but by temperament.Suimei is a completely different type from Xuanbi, Yulongtian, and Camellia, with fluttering white clothes and awe-inspiring immortality, like a fairy born out of the world, who can only be worshiped and not desecrated.

Guoshi Shuiming walked to the Xumizuo, did not kneel down to salute, and went straight to the topic: "Returning to the emperor, watching the stars last night, I found that the seven stars in the south have changed. It is calculated that there may be war intrusion in the near future. To prevent the invasion of soldiers, I suggest that Take action now."

"What?!" Xuan Yuan was shocked, and immediately pointed the finger at Yu Longtian, "Look at your good deeds! Come here! Put Yulongtian into the sky prison and try again later!"

Seeing that Xuan Yuan ordered Yu Longtian to be thrown into the dungeon after listening to his words, Guoshi Shuiming quietly watched Yu Longtian being pushed down, the expression on his face was so clear that everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him The slightest relationship, the words have been brought, and they plan to leave: "The minister resigns."

Seeing Shuiming's national teacher come and go in a hurry, Xuan Yuan tried to persuade him to stay: "The national teacher has actually come, why don't you wait until you leave the court?"

"No." Guoshi Shuiming flatly refused, turned around and walked away gracefully.

After Shuiming Guoshi left the palace, Xuan Yuan held the military talisman in his hand and said: "All the ministers have heard the words of the Guoshi. The rebellion of General Yu really makes me sad. Now the war is about to break out again. , is there any Ai Qing who is willing to share my worries and take over this soldier talisman?"

The ministers who were already sighing because of Yu Longtian's rebellious intentions were revealed, but after hearing Guoshi Shuiming's warning, they were even more heartbroken. When Xuan Yuan asked him this question, no one stepped forward to take up the heavy burden for a while.

Xuan Yuan, who had anticipated the reaction of the ministers, began to offer an olive branch to today's protagonist: "How about Li Aiqing taking over? Now that I can take on this important task and stabilize the situation, I am afraid that there is no second choice except Li Aiqing."

Li Jinyuan, who was named, pretended to evade: "I think the Minister of the Ministry of War is more suitable."

The emperor has already named the surname, how dare the Minister of the Ministry of War dare to take this hot potato, and immediately came out and bowed: "Thank you, my lord, for your love, but I agree with what the emperor said, 'There is no one who can take on this great task except your lord, the prime minister. The second suitable candidate'. The soldier talisman has just changed hands, and he is facing the urgent task of marching and fighting. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he has to rely on the prestige of the prime minister."

The words of the Minister of the Ministry of War are just right, which not only reflects the emperor's wise decision, but also flatters Li Jinyuan.As soon as the voice fell, all the ministers responded that "the prime minister is the best candidate".

With such high expectations, Li Jinyuan received the military amulet overjoyed, and bowed respectfully: "I hope that the emperor will value it, and I will definitely fulfill my mission."
