358 Brainstorming (1)

At the beginning of the night, the side door of the meridian Gate slowly opened. The old eunuch walked to the door and said in a clear voice, “”Court!”

The noise immediately stopped, and the civil and military officials entered the side door in an orderly manner. The Civil officials were on the left, and the military officials were on the right, clearly divided.

After entering the meridian Gate, rank-4 and above entered the hall, rank-4 and below were at the entrance of the hall, and rank-6 and below were at the square.

The ministers entered the hall and waited for 15 minutes before Emperor Yuan jing arrived.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the king of the country, trying to find clues from his eyes and expressions.

All of them failed. Emperor Yuan jing had been in power for 37 years. With his deep schemes and rich experience, there were few people who could arm-wrestle with him in the Imperial court.

They were Wei Yuan and chief advisor Wang.

This court session was no different from the past. The ruler and the officials would present their memorials as usual.

“Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people in Chu Zhou froze to death in the middle of winter. In order to provide relief to the victims, the chief Commissioner has already sent a notice of money and grain. Your Majesty, please draft a decree and allocate funds to the Ministry of Revenue …”

“The National Treasury is empty. For disaster relief, we can collect donations from the local Squires …” Emperor yuanjing replied.

Your Majesty, the northern barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border. After the beginning of spring, the border conflicts have become more and more intense. We have to be careful.

Your Majesty, the North vanquishing Prince ignored the barbarians ‘raid on the border. He didn’t send a single soldier to defend the border city, causing the people at the border to lose their homes and suffer heavy casualties. Your Majesty, please punish him.

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan jing looked at Wei Yuan and said emotionlessly, “”Minister Wei, what’s the situation with the barbarians in the North?”

Wei Yuan frowned. at the end of last year, there was heavy snow in the North for several months. Countless animals were frozen to death. I knew that the barbarians would come to the South to plunder.

Emperor Yuan jing suddenly remembered that there was such a thing. He frowned and said,”What happened after that? Why didn’t the Watchmen receive the news of the Barbarian race’s invasion?”

“This subject has been negligent.” Wei Yuan said.

In fact, he had recalled his spies in the North and sent them to the northeast.

the barbarians from the North have invaded the South, ” Emperor yuanjing said lightly. Wei Yuan has made an oversight and is relieved of his post as the Imperial censor of the left. You’ll be fined a year’s salary.”

The hall fell silent for a moment, and the minds of the officials were filled with question marks.

Even though night watchmen had the duty of gathering intelligence, it was a side job. Furthermore, the northern barbarians were invading the South. The northern Garrison liege lord wouldn’t come out and wouldn’t even fight a war. Even if he knew in advance that the barbarians were going to invade the border, what was the point?

How could Wei Yuan be blamed for this?

However, it was rare for Emperor Yuan jing to direct his fire at Wei Yuan. Despite their confusion, the Civil officials immediately seized the opportunity to attack Wei Yuan and praise His Majesty for his wisdom.

Your Majesty, ” an imperial censor stepped out and emphasized, ” the North Vanquisher King sat by and watched the people suffer from the war. He did nothing. Please punish him.

Emperor Yuan jing’s reply was only four words,”I understand.”

The Imperial censor retreated unwillingly.

The court session gradually came to an end. After dealing with the government affairs that had piled up during this period, the officials stopped submitting their memorials. Emperor Yuan jing raised his index finger and gently knocked on the table.

The old eunuch in the Python robe stepped out and looked at the ministers.

It’s here … Everyone in the hall was moved.

Everything had been normal. Although it was surprising that Wei Yuan was removed from his post, Emperor yuanjing’s sudden court meeting was definitely not because of this “small matter.”

The old eunuch unfurled the Imperial decree in his hand and said in a clear voice, “”I’ve investigated the whole story of Consort Fu’s case. The Empress, Shangguan Shi, instructed the palace maid, Huang xiaorou, to kill Consort Fu and frame the Crown Prince …

“After I’ve questioned her in all ways, Shangguan family has confessed to her crimes. The Empress is out of order, her virtue is not worthy of her position, and she can not bear the fate of heaven. He has retired to the eternal spring Palace.”

The Palace of Eternal Spring was the cold Palace.

It was deathly silent inside and outside the hall.

From the three dukedoms to the officials outside the hall, everyone who heard the contents of the Imperial edict was dumbfounded.

In the silence, a deep voice sounded, ”

“Your Majesty, you can’t do this.”

Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes and looked expressionlessly at the man in green who stepped out of the ranks.

Wei Yuan’s hair was white, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life washed away by time. He looked straight at Emperor yuanjing.

After an unknown amount of time, the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court stepped out at the same time and loudly said, “”Your Majesty, Consort Fu’s case has not been tried by the three departments and can not be easily concluded.”

“This is my family matter,” Emperor Yuan jing said word by word.

The new Minister of rites rushed out and bowed, “”Your Majesty, dethroning the Empress is also a National matter, and we can’t be careless. Your Majesty, please pass Consort Fu’s case to the three departments for review before making a decision.”

Although the Imperial edict said that the Empress had already pleaded guilty. However, the matter of dethroning the Empress was of great importance. Without knowing the situation, the Lords would not agree to Emperor Yuan jing dethroning the Empress.

“Yes!”

………

In the morning, Xu Xinian finished washing up and went to the back hall to enjoy breakfast. From afar, he saw Xu lingying in a small dress sitting on the steps outside the hall, her cheeks puffed up angrily.

The little figure looked lonely and pitiful.

“Lingying, why are you sitting here?” Xu niannian asked.

Xu lingying looked up and ignored him.

“Second brother is asking you a question.” Xu xinnian frowned.

“Mother chased me out and even hit me.” Xu lingying complained, ” second brother, can you help me curse? ”

Xu niannian shook his head.

The little boy’s face showed that he had expected this. He wrinkled his nose and said, “”It would be great if big brother was home. Big brother loves to bully mother the most.”

Xu niannian entered the living room and sat in a familiar seat. He waited for Lu ‘e to serve him a bowl of porridge and said while eating, “”Mother, did Ling Ying make you angry again?”

“No, it’s your big brother who made me angry.” His aunt said coldly.

“Big brother hasn’t come back yet …”

“This is your big brother’s ability. He can still anger me to death even when he’s not here,” the aunt sneered.
