The crooked poem says: "
The palace of Shengde is nine deep, and the golden palace brings spring to all things.
The Taoism and Dharma embrace the vastness of heaven and earth, and the path to immortality is misty and far-reaching.
With majestic honors, crowns and achievements, he rules over Longxiang and his ministers.
I live alone and don't know how to live forever, and I have no plan to fear your kindness. "
"Boom——"
A crisp bell echoed in the main hall of Yuxi Palace. The furnishings are still the same, but the people in this hall have changed a lot.
The two chairs on the left and right of the jade steps were empty. The prince was deposed and the grand master was ill. There was no leader for a while.
On the left, the foreman of the Supervisor of Ceremonies also became Wang Jin, followed by Zhao Yu, Zhang Mo, and Chen Gui; on the right, the right minister of the cabinet, Jia Chengdao, stood in the first place, followed by Zuo Fengyuan, He Lanyi, Li Taiyue, and Gu Silan .
Wang Jinchunfeng was proud and said with a smile: "Today's court meeting, Eunuch Gao has important matters to attend to, so I will preside over it."
Jia Chengdao's beard and hair are all white, but now they are neatly combed and energetic, and he can't seem to look old in the past.
Hearing Wang Jin's words, Jia Chengdao nodded and said: "Mr. Liang Ge and Prime Minister Zhou are also sick. This is the first time that the old minister has paid homage to the Prime Minister. Instead, he is so deserted. I really feel ashamed of His Majesty's grace!"
"Don't say that, Mr. Jiage. The government is difficult and difficult to move forward. In this situation, Mr. Jiage must bear this heavy burden!" Wang Jin picked up the pen and said with a smile: "Now that everyone is here, let's Let’s get started!”
Jia Chengdao nodded and looked at He Lanyi.
He Lanyi understood the idea, took a memorial, and took the lead to speak: "Reports came from Liangzhou and Luzhou. The strategy of using levies instead of relief proposed by the court last time was full of shortcomings when it was implemented. It made the people complain and even shook the front line. The military morale can no longer be implemented."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.
No one who can stand in this palace is smart. As early as when Ye Ling proposed this plan, they already knew that it was just a prevarication and would inevitably fail.
However, Ye Ling was already regarded as a scapegoat for this matter, so naturally no one would point it out beforehand. What they want is the current results.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Jin was about to speak when he heard a deep voice: "
Lying high in the blue clouds, the immortal is scattered, and the heart is not free for a long time.
Things that concern oneself are related to oneself, and people are not always told. "
When everyone heard the poem, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
But on top of the throne, a figure gradually became clear. It turned out to be Baili Longteng arriving.
"Your Majesty!"
"My dear friends, I am exempted from the courtesy!" Baili Longteng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as water: "People always keep their opinions to themselves. In the officialdom, what you people have learned best is to be wise and protect yourself. , everything that has nothing to do with me, I watch from the other side, and no one speaks out what is in their heart. Ye Ling is being used as a weapon by you, do you think I don’t know? "
"I am guilty!"
"What crime do you have?" Baili Longteng looked forward with a subtle expression: "Everyone is guilty, but I am guilty. Thousands of years from now, in the annals of history, there will only be foolish kings in power, how can there be treacherous ministers in the dynasty?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell to their knees.
Wang Jin hurriedly said: "Master, please calm down. It's always the servants who fail to do things well and cannot share the worries of the Lord. Please punish me, Master."
Jia Chengdao also pleaded guilty and said: "I have betrayed my holy hope and deserve to die!"
Baili Longteng glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, get up. I have no anger, no worries, and no hope for you! I still rely on you to manage this court."
At this time, the little eunuch outside the palace gate gently opened a crack in the door, bowed and said, "Master, the second prince and the sixth prince are here."
Baili Longteng waved his hand: "Tell them to come in!"
"yes!"
The door opened from left to right, and Baili Qingfeng and Baili Hanran walked into the hall side by side. They leaned down and saluted: "I wish my father happiness, longevity and peace!"
"You guys stand on the edge." Baili Longteng pointed to the position beside the imperial steps.
When the two princes stood up and stood still, Baili Longteng said: "There is a saying among the people, 'The debts of the father are paid by the sons.' I failed to manage the people of the dynasty well, and I am ashamed of my ancestors. In this case, let my son take over the responsibility." Let me repay the debt. Wang Jin!"
"My servant is here," Wang Jin responded, took out the imperial edict he had prepared earlier, and read it out in front of everyone: "The Holy One has decreed that from now on, the second prince and the sixth prince will supervise the country on their behalf. All affairs in the court will be handled by the cabinet and the two princes." The prince will discuss the matter and accept this."
Baili Qingfeng and Baili Hanran prostrated themselves again: "My son, I will live up to my father's trust!"
Baili Longteng waved his hand and said: "Everyone goes about his own business, and everyone goes to pay his debts!"
After saying this, the shadow on the throne disappeared.
In the distant jingshe, Gao He offered clear tea to Lai who was sitting in the hall. On the Bagua Immortal Platform, Baili Longteng said to Gao He: "We can't delay the magic circles in the palace for a moment. Go and keep an eye on them for me!"
Gao He had no expression on his face, responded and retreated.
After Gao He left, Baili Longteng looked at Lai and said slowly: "Are you from the fairy world?"
Lai met Baili Longteng's gaze, which was neither warm nor cold: "I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going. I think most people in the world are like me, and you are the same."
Baili Longteng's body trembled slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "I am different from you, I know where I am going!"
"Really?"
…………
As the sun passed through the atrium, the door of Yuxi Palace opened wide, and everyone left one after another after discussing the government affairs.
Baili Qingfeng and Baili Hanran walked side by side, walking a little slowly.
Baili Hanran said: "I didn't expect to see you away from my eldest brother, and I still have you by my side, my second brother, so that I can feel more at ease."
Baili Qingfeng smiled when he heard the words: "Fortunately, my father is devoted to mystical cultivation and is not good at Fangzhongshu. Otherwise, if the Liu family of Han Dynasty had dozens or hundreds of brothers and sent them away one by one, six people would be exhausted." Brother."
"Brother Imperial is joking," Baili Hanran said with a smile, "Now that my father has asked you and me to supervise the country, we have a really heavy responsibility. If Brother Imperial is not here, I really don't know what to do."
Baili Qingfeng didn't answer, and Baili Hanran said again: "Both Mr. Liang Ge and Mr. Zhou Gejin have reported illness. I don't know how they are. I am willing to go to visit you. Can I go with you, brother?"
Baili Qingfeng turned his head, looked at Baili Hanran and said: "Grandpa and Master Zhou's illness came at the right time. Otherwise, how could the sixth brother join the cabinet to listen to the government? Elder Jia Ge has already ordered the fourth brother to go to Qiongzhou, and all three armies and horses are there. In the hands of others, Sixth Brother should focus on this!"
After saying that, Baili Qingfeng walked away.
Baili Hanran looked at the emperor's brother leaving with a gloomy look on his face. However, he turned around and regained his smile. He bowed his hands and saluted He Lanyi, who was coming from behind: "Teacher, I haven't listened to my teacher's teachings for a long time. Can I ask my teacher to pay a visit today?"
He Lanyi's eyes flickered and he pondered for a moment, then nodded and left with Baili Hanran.
Zuo Fengyuan was the last one left in Nuo Da's cabinet to come out. He shook his head and sighed: "If this continues, I will be sick and stay home!"
…………
Liangzhou——
Liangzhou is located in the south of the Daqian Dynasty, and was originally the jurisdiction of Han Yulou, the king of Nanyue. Now King Nanyue has rebelled against Daqian, and the dynasty's army and the soldiers of King Nanyue are confronting each other in Liangzhou.
At the foot of a mountain, a large number of soldiers and horses were camped here to guard the dangerous pass and block the rebels' northward advance.
When the Chinese army marched to the camp, Chen Changying, Minister of the Ministry of War, was dressed in white, sitting behind the commander's desk, holding a book and reading.
Not long after, Li Jingchi, the former guard of Demon City and now the deputy governor, walked into the tent and bowed his hands: "General, the rebels have been retreating for hundreds of miles in recent days. Is there some fraud involved?"
Chen Changying didn't even raise his head and said: "These days the government is unstable and King Nanyue doesn't cause trouble. Isn't this the righteous and holy will?"
Li Jingchi looked puzzled when he heard this.
At this time, Qu Yi, the current money and grain supervisor, came in and reported: "All the grain and weapons have been delivered. Here is a list for the general to take a look at."
Chen Changying waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down, and then said: "I heard that in a few days it will be the 1,500th birthday of the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect. I wonder if you two would like to go with me?"
Qu Yi frowned, and Li Jingchi objected loudly: "The general holds an important responsibility for the imperial court and the lives of the three armies, how can he be easily put in danger?"
Chen Changying put down the book in his hand and looked at Li Jingchi: "I'm going to the Holy Spirit Sect. Why is it so dangerous?"
"It is rumored that the Holy Spirit Cult has been in contact with King Nanyue, so the general will definitely be in danger when he goes there." Li Jingchi firmly objected: "What's more, the Holy Spirit Cult behaves strangely and mysteriously, and even other immortal sects are not willing to provoke it. The general must not go there!"
Chen Changying smiled slightly and looked at Qu Yida: "What do you think, Lord Qu?"
Qu Yi lowered his head and said: "General, he has his own strategies. If he was not sure this time, he would not tell us."
Chen Changying nodded: "You prepare a birthday gift for me. After I leave, General Li must guard the passes and cannot take the initiative to send troops. We will wait until I come back."
Seeing that Chen Changying insisted on doing this, Li Jingchi had no choice but to sigh and go out of the tent.
Qu Yi also resigned.
Chen Changying put the general's case in order and stepped out of the tent. He happened to see Qin Xiao and Qu Zhiruo chatting next to a carriage transporting grain.
Qu Zhiruo said: "Look at your unhappy look. If my father hadn't recommended you, you wouldn't have been able to become a small official in eight lifetimes. Aren't you satisfied?"
Qin Xiao turned his head away and said: "I am a hero who wants to act chivalrously and help those in need. I don't want to do this for the sake of fame and fortune for the court!"
After saying that, Qin Xiao looked at Qu Zhiruo and said seriously: "If I leave now, will you follow me?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Qu Zhiruo's face, his eyes moved away, not knowing how to answer.
Qin Xiao waited for a long time, turned around and sighed, took off the blade of grass in his mouth, and said: "Forget it, I won't bring a scumbag like you with me!"
"You are the one who is dragging you down!"
At this time, Chen Changying walked up to the two of them and said: "Since you don't want to serve in the army, why don't you two follow me to go shopping elsewhere? It might be very interesting."
The two of them had known Chen Changying for a long time and were not formal. Qu Zhiruo blinked and asked, "Where is the general taking us?"
"Holy Spirit Cult!" Chen Changying smiled slightly: "I wonder if you two dare to go?"
When Qu Zhiruo and Qin Xiao heard this, they looked at each other and read the affirmative answer in each other's eyes.
