After a cup of tea, the morning ceremony officially began.
All officials entered the hall in an orderly manner and were arranged in two rows according to their official positions.
Following the empress's majestic "Leave", the officials stood up and began to report on the major and minor events of the past few days, including taxation, construction supervision, diplomatic relations, border defense, etc.
The empress had majestic eyebrows, her left hand rested on the armrest of the dragon chair, and she gently rubbed her fingers. She listened to the endless reports of the officials, sometimes giving orders, and sometimes asking other courtiers for their opinions.
The atmosphere was solemn.
Half an hour later, Lin Ruhai stood out of the queue and handed over the memorial, which contained the appointments of the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of War.
"The Chenzhou Facao Li Yuantong was transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and at the same time, Liu Wanshan, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Hubu."
The empress issued a verbal edict and turned it into an imperial edict.
Hearing these two names, the officials suddenly became noisy.
Whether it was Li Yuantong, Chenzhou's legal officer, or Liu Wanshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, they were all surprised.
Because these two people basically have no factions in the government.
It stands to reason that the reason why these two ministerial posts have been vacant for so long must be because the factions in the DPRK and China are still negotiating.
But they didn't expect that this would be the result of the discussion at the end.
Li Yuantong was a minor facao in Chenzhou. His official position was so low that if he were to go to court, he would only be qualified to stand outside the palace gate.
Moreover, six years ago, when the late emperor was in power, this person was demoted to Chenzhou for contradicting and falsely accusing King Xiaoyao. He was demoted from the original Shaoqing of Dali Temple to one of Chenzhou's legal officials.
Now that this person actually returned to Kyoto in this way, the ministers smelled a different atmosphere.
As for the Minister of Household Affairs Liu Wanshan, although there was no faction, he was promoted too quickly. Li Yuantong was transferred to Minister of the Ministry of War, but after all, he had served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple before.
But six months ago, Liu Wanshan was still a small member of the household department. Not long after he was promoted to the minister of the household department, he was directly promoted to the minister of the household department.
If there is no one pushing behind it, how can anyone among the officials believe it?
The noise and discussion became more intense, and congratulations also continued.
The colleagues around Liu Wanshan continued to congratulate him, and his heart was overwhelmed. He looked at Zhao Wujiang without trace, and found that Zhao Wujiang's expression was dull, and he already had a rough guess in his mind.
He could not conceal his inner excitement at this moment, and his expression kept changing. After being interrupted by the eunuch in front of the palace, he stood out of the queue, knelt down respectfully on the ground, spread his hands to receive the imperial edict, and his whole body was trembling:
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Dali's eyes were burning and he licked his lips. He also hoped to be promoted like this.
It's just that he and a group of colleagues have already obtained evidence of corruption by Zhao Wujiang. This knife hanging over their heads makes it difficult for them to move forward.
Before entering the palace this time, he and many of his colleagues had repeatedly looked at Zhao Wujiang's clothes and behavior, and had basically confirmed that Zhao Wujiang did not bring anything like books to court today.
As for the hidden letter? Oh, the evidence of their crimes cannot be recorded in a letter.
This time going to court is the best time to catch Zhao Wujiang off guard... Dali Zheng's eyes are full of evil. As long as he stands up and starts to sue Zhao Wujiang, then he is confident that those who have enmity with Zhao Wujiang will People like him will definitely attack Zhao Wujiang and beat him until Zhao Wujiang has no means to resist.
He was waiting for the report to be over and for the ministers to start talking about the rest. Then he could stand up and overthrow Zhao Wujiang.
As long as Zhao Wujiang is defeated, he can breathe a sigh of relief and obtain the prince's reward.
He will not forget that Zhao Wujiang has repeatedly disrespected the prince with his words, and has the potential to target the prince.
Listening to the reports from the officials, Dali was becoming more and more anxious, and his heart was in his throat. At the same time, he also understood that if Zhao Wujiang could not be defeated today, his career in the Daxia court would be over.
But what does that matter? Anyway, the Great Xia Dynasty is weak, and he belongs to the prince. As long as the prince does not fall, he can still become a minister of Conglong in the future and become a new group of high-ranking officials in Great Xia.
