After the Zhu Zhen case, a large number of officials were dismissed.
After all, he was once the most promising prince to leave the dynasty, so one can imagine the officials involved.
Coupled with the incident with the Night King, the entire court seemed sparse.
During this period of time, various forces were running around trying to get the upper hand, and they were racking their brains.
The great talent received many people's surrender.
However, he was so lazy that he had no interest in paying attention. He was kicked out of bed by the violent mother this morning.
There was no other way, so Lao Zhu ordered him to attend the morning court. It would be impossible if he didn't come.
Is the hard life about to begin again?
But fortunately, there are Yan Ruxue and Gu Ling'er. If I really want to leave something to them, it won't be a big problem. Everyone has a clear division of labor and performs their duties, which is very reasonable.
Zhu Tianzheng is wearing a dragon robe and is quite majestic.
Maybe it's because of the drastic changes in Li Chao's atmosphere this year, but this girl looks particularly proud.
He glanced at the court and said, "There are indeed a lot of fewer people. The officials will speed up and fill the vacancies that need to be filled as soon as possible."
"Back to Your Majesty, the staff is already speeding up."
Li Qingshu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out and said: "It's just that the minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been vacant, and the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel is taken by the fourth prince. The fourth prince has been in the southwest before, and there is only one minister. Now that the fourth prince has returned, I believe it will be filled soon."
As he spoke, he smiled at Lin Bai.
The talented man was fishing, and then he remembered that he was still the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He almost forgot if he didn't mention it.
Sun Yanqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is an important position in the imperial court. It has been vacant for a long time and should be appointed as soon as possible."
"I second the proposal. The right minister and the minister of household affairs should be appointed as soon as possible."
"..."
Fan Renli has been withdrawn for some time.
Although Yang Guozhong saved his life because of the previous incident, his post as minister was obviously removed.
Zhu Tianzheng nodded, looked at Yan Zhenlin and said, "Yan Aiqing and the cabinet ministers will prepare a list as soon as possible."
"I obey the decree!"
Yan Zhenlin replied.
"Your Majesty, things are different now. Your Royal Highness is now a prince. It may be inappropriate to continue to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
At this time, a minister said.
"The fourth prince has made outstanding achievements. I propose that the fourth prince should be appointed as the crown prince as soon as possible."
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
Figures stood out one after another, occupying almost half of the huge court hall, not to mention all of it.
Among them, He Donglai, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Jianghuaishui, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Sun Yanqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, all stepped forward. Except for the vacant Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Hubu, only Guo Wankai, the Minister of Rites, did not express his views.
Even the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry, Li Qingshu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Changyun, the right minister of the Ministry of Hubu, also stood up.
I don't know how many other officials there are.
There is no way, the talent is there, and the reputation among the people is at its peak. In the eyes of most people, there is no suspense at all.
If you support a great talent at this moment, you can gain his favor, but if you go against him again, it is completely stupid.
Lin Bai was a little confused.
After all, so many people support me, but when I think about it, it seems inappropriate to become a prince! I'm too tired to tell you, there's a high probability that I'm still a fake.
Moreover, Lao Zhu seems to be okay for the time being, but he just stole the other party's power, it seems like a little bit...
"I object!"
However, at this moment, a voice sounded outside the hall.
Everyone couldn't help but look and saw an old man wearing a python robe staggering in.
"King Wei?"
Seeing the person coming, the expressions of the ministers couldn't help but change.
Zhu Tianzheng also immediately stepped down from the dragon chair, "Why is Uncle Wang here? Please give me a seat!"
That's right!
King Wei was one of the last surviving elders of the royal family. He was a member of the late emperor's generation, and he had made considerable contributions in his early years. Although Zhu Tianzheng was the emperor, he did not dare to neglect him.
King Wei was not polite and sat down with the help of two attendants.
Yan Zhenlin's face became a little unhappy and his eyes narrowed slightly.
King Wei asked: "Who is Lin Qingfeng?"
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, "You don't even know who my brother is, so you come to object?"
But it's okay, I really don't care about it. It wouldn't be happier to be a free king.
Immediately he came out and said: "I have met King Wei!"
King Wei nodded, "I have heard of you and you are very good, so Your Majesty announces your identity. I have no objection. With your achievements, even if you are not a prince, it is not an exaggeration to make you a king of the opposite sex."
"But, the prince is different. Among the kings of this country, you have been living among the people for twenty years..."
This is obvious. I recognize your ability and talent, but I'm sorry, but I can't be sure whether your bloodline is pure. After all, you have been living among the people for twenty years. Who knows what happened?
He Donglai said: "Your Majesty, the Dali Temple Procuratorate of the Ministry of Punishment has verified the identity of His Royal Highness, and it has been confirmed without a doubt."
King Wei asked back: "How to confirm without a doubt? All the evidence comes from the Red Lotus Sect. There is no other evidence to prove that he is the child who was transferred."
"This is what Yu Changqing and others admitted personally, and it was under the circumstances that His Highness the Fourth Highness faked his death." A minister said.
The King of Wei hummed: "Yu Changqing is also a rebel. I cannot believe his words. I want conclusive evidence."
As he said this, he looked at Zhu Tianzheng and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is the king of a country and has a bearing on the Zhu family. If there is no conclusive evidence, I will never agree."
"Your Majesty, please be careful!"
Zhu Tianzheng frowned slightly.
Guo Wankai also said at this time: "Your Majesty, what the King of Wei said is not unreasonable. The appointment of the crown prince is of great importance. I suggest that we investigate the matter thoroughly first. Your Majesty is in his prime. It will not be too late to establish the crown prince after finding conclusive evidence."
"Master Guo's words make sense, and I second my opinion..."
Another voice came.
With the royal family of King Wei still around, there are naturally many people who agree with him.
Jiang Huaishui said: "The Fourth Highness has been with the Red Lotus Sect since he was subcontracted. If even His Highness faked his death and the truth revealed by the Red Lotus Sect cannot be used as conclusive evidence, then what is conclusive evidence?"
As soon as these words came out, no one knew what to say.
really!
According to this calculation, there is no conclusive evidence at all.
However, after all, it was related to the blood of the royal family, and the officials who had previously supported the talented man did not dare to say anything at this moment.
Yan Zhenlin didn't speak either.
Zhu Tianzheng looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Qingfeng, what do you think?"
You ask brother? Who am I asking?
However, the great talent did not care about being a prince at all, but was very happy to be a prince, because a prince cannot be an official of too high a level, so he can just hold a casual position for a while.
The prince is different, he has to help with government affairs.
Immediately he said hurriedly: "Back to my father, I think what King Wei said is reasonable. It concerns the royal family's orthodoxy, so we must be cautious!"
"My son is willing to cooperate with the investigation."
Check it out! In this way, I don't have to do anything. I can be a free king with peace of mind and spend all my time with a few beautiful ladies.
Zhu Tianzheng was slightly surprised, then nodded, "It's rare that you understand the righteousness, I'm very pleased."
As he spoke, he looked at King Wei again and said, "Uncle Wang, Qingfeng is my son. No one can change this. But since you have doubts, I will find evidence to prove it to you."
"Retreat!"
