The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 92

After General Xiao Jingtian left without a word, all the officials looked at Xu Zhi, "Xu Cifu, can we leave?"

Xu Zhi looked serious, "There's no rush, go and find out what's going on first."

Soon, the news came that General Xiao Jingtian broke into the empress' bedroom.

Everyone gasped, this general is really arrogant!
Xu Zhi was a little worried, he was such a reckless man, he didn't know what would happen if he went so recklessly.

He said in a deep voice: "Things are different, everyone don't leave, we will wait and see."

It didn't take long before the eunuch's announcement came from outside——

"The Emperor is here!"

A group of officials quickly returned to their respective positions. After Ning Yuezhao, who was wearing a blue imperial robe, came slowly and sat down on the throne, they bowed down together.

Xiao Jingtian also stood at the head of military officer and knelt straight down.

"Long live my emperor!"

"My lords please stand up."

Ning Yuezhao calmly raised her hand to help.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" The eunuch of the ceremonies shouted the opening sentence of the morning court that has not changed for thousands of years.

Ning Yuezhao was sitting upright, with a calm expression on her face, as if this was the time when the morning court should start.

The ministers have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for the past few days, just hoping that the Empress will come to court.Now they know that if this girl gets angry, it will be fatal, and they are already very satisfied that she can show up at this moment, and naturally they will not expose her faults in person.

Xiao Jingtian came out and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Ji, the son of Lu Jiansheng, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, is waiting outside the palace gate. When do you plan to summon him?"

After Ning Yuezhao sat down, she felt that there seemed to be a thin layer of mist in front of her eyes, and when she fixed her eyes again, it was clear again.

She suppressed her discomfort and nodded, "Then declare him into the palace."

After a while, Lu Ji, dressed in azure blue cloth, walked in from outside the hall and knelt down in the center of the hall.

"The grass people meet the emperor!"

After all these changes, Lu Ji has long lost the aggressiveness he had when he was in Zuijin, replaced by a quiet and introverted one.

This kind of change is at the cost of the whole family's life, which is too heavy.

Looking at the thin figure kneeling upright, Ning Yuezhao felt a little sore in her heart for some reason.

She collected her thoughts and said calmly, "Let's get down."

When Lu Ji first heard the voice of the empress, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.When he stood up and looked up at the person on the throne, he couldn't help being stunned.

In the past, he served as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, mainly studying and studying, and had no qualifications to go to court, so he never met the empress dowager who was ordered to supervise the country at that time.But Jiang Nian's "cousin" impressed him deeply.

"Your Majesty, you... Caomin, I..."

Ning Yuezhao smiled lightly: "Lu Ji, the imperial edict to vindicate your Lu family has been issued, and now you have resumed your status as a scholar of the Imperial Academy, so you don't need to call yourself a grassroots."

"Yes." After thinking for a while, Lu Ji understood what was going on. It was clear that Jiang Nian, who was still compiling at the Imperial Academy at the time, took the princess's micro-clothes out of the palace to play.

Ning Yuezhao said again: "I'm sorry for you about the Lu family's matter, do you have any request now?"

Lu Ji bowed and said, "I just want to move my relatives back to the ancestral grave for burial."

Xiao Jingtian snorted and said, "How can this be enough! The Lu family is full of grievances, how can the reinstatement of officials and proper burial be enough to appease them?"

Ning Yuezhao pressed her forehead, she had already felt the symptoms of the disease, and she had to deal with it quickly.

"How about this, I will seal Lu Ji as the Imperial Academy's six-rank editor."

This was an official position that could only be obtained by the number one scholar at the beginning. For a low-ranking scholar, it can be said that he has been promoted several levels in a row.

Lu basically had no desire for this aspect, he said: "Your Majesty, I still have to keep my father's filial piety. According to the usual practice, Ding You is required, and I cannot accept His Majesty's conferment."

According to the laws of Daxing, those who are beheaded are not allowed to observe filial piety and mourning.Now that the Lu family has been rehabilitated, Lu Ji naturally wants to keep his father's filial piety.

The ups and downs in the officialdom may lead to a smooth rise, or the tall building may collapse overnight.

Lu Ji has seen through all of this now, and he can avoid it if he can.

But Xiao Jingtian didn't think so. He was defeated by Lu Jiansheng's case at the beginning, but now he has a chance to make a comeback. Even if Lu Ji doesn't want it, Xiao Jingtian will fight for him.

"Your Majesty is too stingy. The Lu family is innocent. Is it only worth a sixth-rank official position?"

"General Xiao's words are wrong." Before Ning Yuezhao could speak, Yan Zhenglang stood up first, "Lu Ji wants Ding You to be filial, it's not that His Majesty won't grant him an official position. Besides, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we are eager for success Not a good thing."

Xiao Jingtian snorted, "Now that the court is in the midst of employing people, so what if His Majesty makes an order to seduce people?"

Don't think that he is a general, because he doesn't understand court laws.

When an elder in the family passes away, the official needs to ask for an order to go home to observe filial piety, but if there are special circumstances, the emperor can make an order to make the official continue to serve the court.

Yan Zhenglang retorted: "But Lu Ji voluntarily kept his father's filial piety. Besides, although the imperial court is employing people, it can't violate the laws of nature and human relations, right?"

"Okay." Ning Yuezhao didn't want to waste time listening to their disputes, so he interrupted directly, "As General Xiao said, Lu Ji, you can continue to serve the court."

Lu Ji was helpless, "Yes, I will follow His Majesty's will."

Xiao Jingtian said again: "Your Majesty, since the absence of Lu Jiansheng, the post of Minister of War has been vacant. If not, let Lu Ji's son inherit his father's career!"

"Ridiculous!" Yan Zhenglang reprimanded, "I've never heard of the position of minister of the Ministry of War being hereditary!"

Xiao Jingtian said nonchalantly: "Then it will be good from now on."

"General Xiao, don't bully people too much."

"When did I deceive others, it was just to seek justice for the Lu family."

Ning Yuezhao looked at the two people who were already arguing below, the pain like a needle prick began to spread from the temple, even if she wanted to stop it, she couldn't do it.

"It is His Majesty's grace to make an exception to promote Lu Ji to the Imperial Academy. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is very important, how can it be granted casually!"

"Scholar Yan, I'm Minister of the Ministry of War, can't I even say who will be my servant?"

"General Xiao can speak, of course, but the decision is not up to you."

"Can you..." Ning Yuezhao endured the piercing pain, and couldn't even say a complete sentence, and Dou Da's cold sweat kept breaking out.

"Okay!" Lu Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked up to Xiao Jingtian, and said sincerely, "General Xiao, I know you are doing it for my own good, but Lu Ji is not qualified for such a high position as the Minister of the Ministry of War. Let Your Majesty be embarrassed again."

In fact, Xiao Jingtian didn't particularly care about Lu Ji, a frail scholar, serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War, but just now he was more of a mentality of being angry with the empress.Now that Lu Ji took the initiative to speak, he gave up.

He patted Lu Ji on the shoulder, "You are a good person, and you will definitely do something in the future!"

Lu Ji smiled modestly, and was about to thank the Empress when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the people on the throne.

"His Majesty?"

Ning Yuezhao's face was as white as gold paper, her teeth were clenched under her tightly pursed lips, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Since today's affairs are over, let's retreat!" She condensed the last bit of strength and said this sentence.

The ministers who stood far away couldn't see her situation clearly, but those who were as close as Xiao Jingtian found something wrong with her.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Ning Yuezhao's hands covered by the wide sleeves were tightly grasping the armrests, trying to maintain the same sitting posture.

Yan Zhenglang also saw that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly said: "Since Your Majesty is not feeling well, and there is nothing left and right, let's go here today."

But Xu Zhi took a step forward and said with concern: "Is there something serious about your Majesty?"

Ning Yuezhao gritted her teeth tightly, the back molars were hurting, so she shook her head with all her strength.

Xu Zhi looked relieved, "That's good, I still have something to play."

Xiao Jingtian squinted his eyes at Xu Zhi, and his voice was somewhat displeased, "Xu Cifu has something to write into a memorial book, and His Majesty will read it later when he has time. Didn't His Majesty feel unwell now?"

Xu Zhi said with some embarrassment: "But the matter of Weichen is quite urgent, so we can't delay it any longer."

Xiao Jingtian was a little impatient, "Since it's so urgent, you should hurry up and talk about it."

The corners of Ning Yuezhao's mouth curled up slightly, Xu Zhi clearly wanted to delay her until she couldn't hold it anymore, so there was nothing important.

Xu Zhi shook his head, with a bit of concern, "Your Majesty's body is more important. I heard that Anyu Physician from Tai Hospital is very skilled in medicine. May your Majesty send him to come and see?"

Ning Yuezhao felt that her vision was gradually blurring, and her head hurt like it was going to explode, but she still heard her own voice stinging, "Is this the important thing you want to say? I think it's just nonsense! "

After saying this, she felt as if all the strength in her body was drained, and she fell sideways.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers exclaimed.

Xiao Jingtian saw that the person who was sitting upright suddenly lost his support, and just fell straight down like this.He didn't care about thinking too much, he jumped onto the base of the platform, and took Ning Yuezhao, who was already unknown, into his arms.

From such a close distance, Xiao Jingtian realized that the dragon robe on her body was soaked in cold sweat, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

"Wake up!" Xiao Jingtian patted Ning Yuezhao's face, but there was no response.

"Your Majesty has passed out, send the imperial doctor!" someone suddenly shouted.

"It's really troublesome!" Xiao Jingtian complained in a low voice, picked up the man and strode towards the apse.

There is a soft couch in the apse, which is for the emperor to take a rest before going up to court.Xiao Jingtian first put the man on the soft couch, and the palace people gathered around one after another.

Xu Zhi and the others also followed in, Xiao Jingtian glanced at them and said, "You said earlier that your Majesty might have been bewitched?"

"Yes, but His Majesty has been denying..." Xu Zhi said in a bit of embarrassment, "General, you have seen now, how old is Your Majesty, and it is the best age. How could he be sick from overwork so early? normal."

Xiao Jingtian often patrols the frontier, so he naturally knows the weirdness of Gu poison.Originally, he was skeptical about Xu Zhi's words, but now that he saw Ning Yuezhao's situation, he believed it half to eighty percent.

"Call that imperial doctor, Ann, to treat His Majesty!"

　Sorry, I went out this morning, came back late, and updated late.
