Chapter 352
Morning, is a chore.

Although the time for entering the court was set at Maoshi, the unwritten rules required officials to rush to the palace one after another to wait in Yinshi.

But fortunately, most of the courtiers who entered the imperial court were well-cultivated, and the imperial court built many court houses in the imperial city for officials to rest according to their ranks.

Maoshi is approaching, the full moon is in the sky, and the morning light is not yet shining.

While most of the common people were still asleep, more than half of the court officials had already gathered in the Wengcheng outside the Meridian Gate.

On the palace wall, the burly imperial guards stand with swords, and under the palace wall, the court officials in various official robes are respectful and orderly.

No one whispered, the huge Wengcheng was as quiet as a dead city.

According to the Dayan ancestor system, after entering the palace, the censor of the picket will examine the appearance and etiquette of school officials.

Hundreds of officials standing at the peak of Yan's power just quietly waited for the eunuch of the Zhonggu Division, one of the four divisions of the inner court, to ring the court bell at Yinshi.

suddenly,

"Clang-clang-clang-"

Three long tones of the clock.

And as the bell rang, a "rumbling" sound of opening the door also resounded throughout the entire Wengcheng.

According to the rules of the court, all officials do not open the gate of the Meridian when they enter the court, and they walk left and right to tuck the door.

Civil officials enter from the left, military officers enter from the right.

However, although the left and right Yemen gates have been opened, the civil and military officials standing quietly in front of them are still standing quietly.

No one moved, and no one made a sound, as if waiting for something.

in the silence,
"Da da da."

The sound of horseshoes trampling along with the ruts came slowly from behind the Wengcheng, and a carriage drove slowly to the front amidst the silence of the officials.

The carriage is engraved with a black dragon, which is lifelike, especially the pair of dragon eyes.

And following the black dragon carriage, the noon gate, which was originally closed, made a loud "rumbling" sound in an instant.

Ten breaths later, the majestic and huge Noon Gate was completely opened, and the black horse was also stopping in front of the Noon Gate.

The huge Meridian Gate was opened for him alone.

The horse's hooves stopped, the car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black dragon robe slowly stepped down from it. His steps were very light, but every step seemed to be on the heart of Baiguan.

Before being independent from hundreds of officials, under the Meridian Gate.

Xu Yinhe raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of Fengtian Temple, sighed with unknown meaning, and stepped into it.

Looking at the back, among the civil and military officials, some officials closed their eyes and remained silent, some showed disgust in their eyes, and some had bright eyes.

And as the figure of the middle-aged man completely disappeared behind the shadow of the noon gate, a cadenced and feminine voice also sounded on the palace wall:

"Hundreds of officials ~ entering the court ~"

The voice fell, and all civil and military officials entered the court orderly according to the etiquette of the Great Yan court.

The general entered first, the second was the close servant official, the second was the son-in-law of the prince, the second was the fifth mansion and the sixth department, and the third was a miscellaneous official in Beijing.

While walking, the original silence was also broken by some sound transmissions.

"Sister-in-law Qin, in the past, when Xu Xiangguo went to court, Xu Xiangguo also went to the left door with the civil servants. Why did you open the Meridian Gate for him today?"

"In the war in the northern border, hundreds of thousands of barbarians were wiped out. This Prime Minister Xu also made a great contribution, and the Holy One must reward him."

"Before entering the imperial court, I will not follow the emperor's car, and I will not be named after praise. I add Jiuxi, and now I am also the same as the emperor. How can I reward him? Are you really going to make him the first king with a different surname in Dayan?"

"To open the Meridian Gate for him today, the Holy One must have a deep meaning."

"Oh, the face is the prime minister of the country, but it is actually the property of the country's thieves."

"Liu Yushi, speak carefully, Xu Xiangxiu's cultivation is unfathomable, and he may be able to find out through sound transmission between you and me."

"So what if you can find out, people of my generation deserve to die."

After entering the imperial court, they walked northward along the streets full of imperial troops. After a series of complicated etiquettes, all the civil and military officials saw the figure standing alone in the dark again in front of Fengtian Hall.

When the first ray of dawn falls on the earth,
In front of the majestic Fengtian Hall, it is solemn and solemn.

The prime minister of Yan stands in the middle, the second prime minister stands at the head of the civil servants on the left, and the general stands at the head of the military officials on the right.

On the left and right of the steps of His Royal Highness are the bands of the Bell and Drum Division. The commanders of the imperial guards lined up between the gates of the palace, wearing full armor, and on the left and right of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials, there are school lieutenants standing with swords.

After a moment of silence, the band of the Bell and Drum Division played the ancient music of the Shang Dynasty, and the officials of Honglu Temple let out a melodious voice:

"Entry~"

words fell,

The prime minister took the lead to step up the royal road, the civil and military officials entered the hall along the left and right steps, and those who were not of high rank stood in the outer court of the hall.

After entering the hall, the hall is empty, the incense is curling up, and the top of the vermilion pillar is solemn and solemn.

The high Nine-Five-Golden Throne hangs unoccupied, and there is a low-leg desk carved with giant pythons on the highness. A young man with a face as gentle as jade and wearing a python robe is already sitting quietly behind it.

It was Li Yucheng, Prince Jian.

After seeing the middle-aged man who took the lead in entering the hall, Li Yucheng immediately stood up from the futon behind the low table, bowed and saluted, with a gentle voice and a smile:

"teacher."

Xu Yinhe glanced at the other party with a flat face, and nodded in response:

"His Royal Highness."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the prince, but at the screen behind the golden throne in the hall.

Take a breath, retract your gaze, and lower your eyes to rest.

After the simple etiquette, Li Yucheng sat back on the futon behind the low desk before all the officials entered the hall.

When the officials entered the hall, they separated in an orderly manner on both sides, and the eunuch, the chief eunuch in front of the hall, stood on one side with a soft and feminine voice:
"Hundred officials salute~"

slam-la-

Xu Yinhe stood still, and all the officials behind him bowed.

Since the prince is in charge of the country, according to the system of Dayan ancestors, all officials do not need to kneel and worship, but just bow.

After the ceremony, the soft voice of the chief eunuch in front of the palace sounded again:
"Can the Minister of Honglu Temple come to Beijing today to thank you, and leave Beijing to invite you to come to Beijing?"

Standing sideways, an old man dressed in a third-grade peacock costume took a step forward and bowed in salute:

"Nothing today."

heard,

The voice of the chief eunuch in front of the palace sounded again:
"It's urgent to discuss the military plane border crossing, but there are ministers to play."

There is a clear sequence of affairs in the court, the first is to meet the people who have entered and left the capital, the second is the urgent situation of the frontier army, and the third is the general government affairs.

After the voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the huge hall
"cough."

"cough."

"cough."

Three light coughs sounded almost simultaneously.

According to the unwritten rules of the Great Yan Dynasty Hall, every official had to cough before performing duties, so as to avoid confusion and embarrassment caused by two people leaving work at the same time.

Since the voices are spoken at the same time, it will be coordinated by the chief eunuch in front of the palace.

The eunuch dressed in a python robe standing on one side of the hall glanced at the three speaking officials over there, and there was a gleam in his slightly cloudy eyes.

Two princelings and one second princeling.

Subconsciously glanced at Xu Xiang who was standing in the middle of the hall, but the other party just stood there quietly with downcast eyes, without giving him any hints.

silence for a moment,
The chief eunuch in front of the palace also said:
"Master Qing, what's the matter?"

On the civil servant's side, a middle-aged man in the official robe of the Minister of Rites moved a step to the left and bowed:
"His Royal Highness, the war in the Northern Territory is coming to an end. His Second Highness has established a government office in Beijing and has been living in the army for a long time. It is not in line with the ancestral system. I am afraid that he must be called back to Beijing immediately."

Li Yucheng did not express his opinion immediately after hearing the words, but glanced at His Highness's officials, and pondered for a moment:
"The calamity of the barbarians has not yet subsided, and the second and third brothers are not safe in the far north. What do you think?"

After the words fell, the voice of the court whispered.

"Your Highness benevolent, this trip to the northern border is indeed in danger. Although the barbarian army has been destroyed, many strong members of the tribe are also fleeing outside. The second and third highnesses are both golden bodies, but they may be in danger in the northern border."

"The Second Highness has a distinguished status. Being in the army may affect the general's decision-making and delay the fighter. If it is true, he should be recalled."

"His Highness the Second Highness erected a stele for the officers and men of Beifeng, which will last forever, and should be recalled to the court to reward."

"Second Highness"

Although the proposer wanted to recall Li Zhaoyuan on the grounds of the ancestral system, but after the prince's words fell, the courtiers understood the meaning in an instant, and turned the conversation to the second prince's personal safety and meritorious service awards.

Those who can stand above the court are all human beings,
They all knew what the second prince wanted during his trip to the north.

If you call people back to the Imperial Capital first, you can directly kill what they want in the cradle.

As for rewards and rewards?

Just give me a name and some money.

Hearing His Highness's almost one-sided discussion, Prince Li Yucheng did not express his opinion immediately, but first glanced at the middle-aged man with gray hair in the middle of the independent court hall, and asked respectfully:
"Teacher, what do you think of this matter?"

He believed that the teacher would stand by him this time, after all, his second brother had just offended the other party.

As long as his teacher stood by his side, no one in the court would dare to speak out against him.

Xu Yinhe, who was standing still with drooping eyes, heard the words, the eyes of the eagle falcon were calm, and he was not in a hurry:
"On this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can discuss it with the ministers of the DPRK and China."

When the royal family wins the heir, the Prime Minister's Mansion does not participate in it, nor does it stand in line.

And as Xiangguo's voice fell, some of the second prince's party didn't care about it.

"cough."

Without being called by the Chief Eunuch,

A middle-aged man in the official robe of the Minister of the Ministry of War took a step sideways and said:
"His Royal Highness Liu thinks it might be inappropriate to recall His Second Highness directly now."

And as soon as his voice fell,

The Minister of Rites, who spoke first, immediately spoke out, with a strange voice:

"Liu Shilang, what's wrong, according to the ancestral system, the Second Highness should be recalled, and if the Second Highness has been away for a long time and has a body of ten thousand gold, can you be responsible for something wrong?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War glanced at the other party and chuckled:
"Master Qing, the Second Prince's trip to the northern border is an order from the Holy Majesty. Although His Royal Highness is in charge of the country, he hastily recalled the Second Highness. Is it because he wants His Highness to ignore the Holy Majesty's imperial edict?"

"."

After the words fell, the court suddenly fell silent.

Qing Shilang's complexion suddenly sank, and his fists under the sleeves were slightly clenched.

What a big hat.

Let alone him, no one in the court would dare to pick it up except for Xiang Xiang who has been silent all this time.

Even the prince couldn't take it.

At the beginning, Li Yucheng diverted the topic from the ancestral system to caring for the safety of the emperor's brother, because he was worried that someone would make a fuss about it.

Although he supervises the country, his father is not dead yet.

The emperor and the crown prince have conflicting orders, and everyone knows who to listen to.

Be quiet a little,

Li Yucheng took a deep look at the Minister of the Ministry of War, smiled gently, and said in a gentle voice:

"Liu Qing's words are reasonable. Qing Qing is also worried about the safety of his second and third younger brothers. Naturally, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. We will discuss this matter later."

Seeing that the prince made a conclusion on this matter, the eunuch in charge of the palace in front of the court once again said in a melodious voice:
"General Huaiyuan, what's the start?"

heard,

On the military officer's side, a burly man in the uniform of the commander of the imperial army moved a step to the left, bowed and bowed his head before saying in a low voice:

"His Royal Highness, the Second Highness sent messages from thousands of miles last night, pity the life and death of the soldiers, and worry about the Shuli in the north, and wish to share the worries with His Highness on behalf of the Holy One."

"."

wait for the words to come to an end,

The civil and military officials in the hall were all silent, and the acquaintances looked at each other and whispered through voice transmission.

Even Xu Yinhe, who had been silent with downcast eyes, glanced sideways at the person who made the sound.

General Huaiyuan, one of the top ten commanders of the Forbidden Army in Di'an City.

The reason why the people in the court are so uproar is because of the identity of this general Huaiyuan.

The Dayan Forbidden Army can almost be said to be the private land of the princelings, and the commanders of the Forbidden Army are all staff members of the Prince's Mansion, not to mention its generals.

And the commander of the Forbidden Army who was sealed in Huaiyuan was an iron-blooded princeling.

In the past, when the court was discussing affairs in the morning, he almost beat up the second prince's staff several times in front of the room.

What is the meaning of suddenly speaking for the second prince now?
Reverse?

Amidst the incense overflowing in the hall, many officials looked at the prince's expression.

But unfortunately, no one can see any clues from his face.

Li Yucheng still had that clear and gentle look on his face, quietly looking at General Huaiyuan who spoke, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said with a gentle smile:
"Commander Jin might as well explain in detail, how does the second brother want to share the worries of the father?"

Commander Jin lowered his eyes, and his voice was calm and calm:
"And His Highness the Second Highness, together with the officers and soldiers, sealed off the city in the north, and also wrote inscriptions on the south wall of the North Seal for the hundreds of thousands of heroic souls who died, wishing to follow the example of His Highness Wu Yuan, and lead the army to the north to wipe out the remnants of the barbarians."

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yinhe, who had gray hair on his temples, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and once again glanced at the golden throne above the palace, which was very meaningful.

What was different from Xu Xiangguo's sudden surprise was Li Yucheng's doubts.

The fingertips that tapped on the desk froze, and the expression on Li Yucheng's gentle and jade-like face remained unchanged, but his bright eyes narrowed slightly.

兵权
Not only did Li Zhaoyuan unknowingly instigate a rebellion against the most trusted commander of the imperial army around him, but he also dared to directly go up and ask for military power.

Before Li Yucheng could speak, officials from his subordinate princelings acted as his mouthpieces:

"Heh, does the second prince not understand the ancestral system?"

"Since the government has been established, how dare you ask for military power."

"Second Highness, this is the ambition of King Zhou."

The king of Zhou, hundreds of years ago, was the prince who rebelled and wanted to kill Lao Tzu with his soldiers in Beijing.

As soon as this remark came out, it was already a heartbreaking remark.

"Wang Qing, be careful! The second brother just wants to share the worries of the father."

Li Yucheng scolded the last person to speak, then turned to look at Commander Jin, and asked softly:

"Commander Jin, second brother, does he want you to lead the Sixth Town of the Imperial Army northward?"

Li Zhaoyuan didn't build an army formation, if he wanted soldiers and horses, he had to have a general to command the army.

Commander Jin lowered his body even more when he heard the words, and whispered softly:
"His Royal Highness, the Forbidden Army must not move rashly, and the Second Highness only wants to form an army, and the soldiers under it will be recruited from the people."

Li Yucheng took a deep breath and smiled softly:
"What about you, Commander Jin?"

Commander Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yucheng, then arched his hands forward:
"Sir, I would like to share my worries and go north for the Holy One."

Li Yucheng understood what the second brother wanted to do.

The establishment, as well as the commanding generals, as for the money and soldiers should be provided by those sects.

But how could such behavior be approved?

take a deep breath,

Li Yucheng was about to speak,
Then I heard a loud and feminine voice coming from the screen behind the golden throne:
"Your Majesty—drive here~~"
