Ji Tang has been in power for hundreds of years and is good at the emperor's thinking.
He was not surprised like many courtiers, and he also knew what King Qing would probably say next.
But he still took advantage of the situation and asked:
"Why?"
As expected, Prince Qing clasped his fists, lowered his head lower and lower, and said in a deep voice:
"My younger brother heard that the prince worked diligently during his supervision of the country.
Every day before dawn, I wake up and go to the study to deal with political affairs.
It’s late every night, but I’m still burning the midnight oil.
My younger brother saw the shadow of the imperial brother in him. He was diligent in governing and devoted himself to the people of the Zhou Dynasty!
But my brother is also worried that he will be in bad health if he works so hard.
Therefore, I sincerely request the emperor to give the prince a good rest for a day.
Otherwise, he will definitely continue to work hard. "
Ji Tang nodded and hummed softly:
"reasonable."
Many courtiers in the court gradually came to realize that Prince Qing Ji Dong did not stand in line with King Yin, but retreated in order to advance and used a bitter trick to promote the crown prince.
It not only expresses the prince's diligence in supervising the country and his dedication to the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, but also adds a very important sentence, "I saw the shadow of the emperor."
While praising the emperor for his diligence in governing, he also said that the prince has the appearance of an emperor.
When King Qing dictated these words, his tone was sincere and sincere, and his performance was natural.
It was indeed an old fox.
Many courtiers thought.
The line-up has already begun.
Yang Bingen and Yang Guogong soon realized that he also stood out of the queue:
"I second my opinion.
The prince's diligence was not only heard by King Qing, but also by senior ministers, and even saw it with his own eyes.
I was in the study handling government affairs early in the morning, and didn't rest until late at night.
The prince has lost too much weight in the past ten days. "
"Old minister seconded the proposal." The Minister of Rites also stood up in line.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"..."
One by one, the courtiers stood up and seconded their opinions to King Qing Ji Dong and Duke Yang Bingen.
"I beg your Majesty to grant the prince a day of leisure."
The courtiers on the prince's side shouted in unison, with loud voices and sincere tones.
Prince Ji Boying's eyes were red and watery, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Why do you have to work so hard for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty?
Go through fire and water, no matter what.
It’s just normal behavior to get up early and go to bed late. "
Ji Tang saw everything, and this kind of scene was somewhat immature for him.
But he is not immature. These schemes all show that the prince is capable. At least he is aligned with many courtiers and his own power is not small.
He said in a deep voice:
"Prince, for these two days, except for major events, no government affairs are allowed.
Have a good rest for two days. "
"Father..." Ji Boying pretended to be anxious and was about to shirk it again, but she sighed helplessly and bowed:
"Thank you, Father!"
The courtiers who were in the prince's lineage all smiled.
This somewhat shows that the emperor is already partial to the prince.
At the same time, this also suppressed King Yin invisibly.
The prince's diligent governance has left a good impression on the emperor.
But what about King Yin?
King Yin could only watch all this happen, but he was powerless.
It seems that one more pearl will be added and he will become the Prince of Seven Pearls.
But under the current situation of the court, is there any difference between the six-bead prince and the seven-bead prince?
Being rewarded is the same as not being rewarded.
Here we have to mention the intelligence of Prince Ji Dong.
Zhao Wujiang stood at the forefront of the courtiers, and he watched everything quietly.
Just when the courtiers thought he had nothing to do, the second prince behind him, Ji Botong, stood up.
"My father is considerate of the prince, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast and there are many government affairs, which involve the livelihood of the people of Jiuzhou and the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Ji Botong has not been seen for a few days, and his whole person has become less vulgar and more calm:
"The prince has a rest, but government affairs cannot rest.
Since the prince oversees the country and King Yin assists in government affairs, it is better to let King Yin handle political affairs temporarily while the prince rests for these two days.
This is my humble opinion, please consider it. "
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers in the court suddenly screamed as if a pot had exploded.
Is King Cheng siding with King Yin?
It's a good move to hit the snake with a stick and use it to get the best of you!
Is this what the somewhat vulgar Cheng Wang in the past could have thought of?
Such countermeasures are not simple.
"I second the proposal." Just when the ministers were surprised and confused, the Seventh Prince also stood up and stood in line:
"Midwinter is approaching, and the Nine-Day Conference is about to come. The government affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be stopped. The prince has a rest for these two days. The government affairs should be handled by King Yin for the time being."
"My son seconded the proposal."
"My son seconded the proposal."
"..."
Several princes came out of the queue one after another.
"I second the proposal." Xu Hu, Minister of the Ministry of War, also stood in line.
At the same time, more and more courtiers who had not yet taken a stand also stood up:
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal!"
