"My dear friends, do you have anything important to tell me?"
Empress Liang Zhao was sitting on the dragon chair. Behind her was a figure sitting in the curtain, which was naturally the Queen Mother Su Chang.
The imperial title system was originally a national policy to prevent the young emperor from being bullied by his ministers' meritorious deeds.
However, as the power of the Queen Mother expanded, many dynasties also experienced extremely serious bloodshed in the process of seizing power.
A man with a strong build, wearing a military attache's court uniform, wearing a beam crown, with slightly frosted temples, strode to the center, raised the court board, and said loudly: "I, Lord Protector Xu Rang, have something unknown. I want to Ask your Majesty for advice!”
"oh?"
"The Protector is an important official of the imperial court, so just say so!"
Empress Liang Zhao looked gentle and said with a smile.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, who is this person?"
"Why don't you worship the emperor?"
"Why can I sit in court?"
"Why are you wearing a python robe?"
Protector Xu Rang raised his hand and pointed at Liang Yong who was sitting in his seat, and said in a deep voice.
"I originally planned to introduce it to you all later, but since the Protector is so urgent, Marquis Yongwu, please introduce your identity yourself..." Empress Liang Zhao was not angry at all, and turned her gaze to Liang Yong said.
Hearing this, Liang Yong stood up, turned around, looked at the civil and military officials, and smiled: "My name is Liang Yong. I am the only brave warrior prince in the wilderness, and the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor!"
The Supreme Emperor refers to the emperor's father. When the emperor does not die and gives way to a new emperor, he is automatically promoted to the Supreme Emperor.
The father of the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor.
Historically, there has never been a situation where three generations of emperors were all alive, so the term supreme emperor is rarely used.
In terms of status, Liang Yong is a well-deserved Prince of the Wilderness. In terms of seniority and status, he is the most noble in the Wilderness besides the emperor.
"Are you Lord Yongwu?"
"How can this be?"
"How come you are so young?"
The Protector was also stunned. He had no idea that the Supreme Emperor's brother was still alive?
And it looks like he is about the same age as the emperor?
The civil and military officials were also in an uproar and couldn't help but speak out.
"So young?"
"How could it be Marquis Yongwu?"
"It is said that Marquis Yongwu's martial arts cultivation is extremely amazing. Could it be that he got rid of the longevity dilemma and successfully broke through to the first level?"
"Can Yipin rejuvenate his youth?"
"Has there never been a first-grade grandmaster in the wilderness?"
The military attaches became excited all of a sudden. Dahuang emphasized civility and suppressed military affairs. The highest civil servants could reach the first rank, while the most military attachés could only be the generals of the auxiliary country, which was the official rank of the second rank. Because there were too few promotion paths, the military attaches basically reached the third or fourth rank. The product came to a standstill.
Everyone knows that the second product, which is higher up, is not a fragrant steamed bun, but a hot potato.
Being the leader of military attachés is not so easy.
But now a brave warrior prince who is suspected of surpassing the Grandmaster has appeared, giving them hope.
The emperor doesn't trust military attachés, but he can't trust his own people, right?
Empress Liang Zhao frowned slightly and looked at the whip-wielding eunuch in the main hall.
The whip-wielding eunuch then realized what he was doing, swung his whip, and struck the ground hard, making a "beep bang" sound.
"Quiet, quiet!!"
All civil and military officials immediately fell silent.
Empress Liang Zhao ordered: "The clan ordered us to tell them the results of the inspection."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zong Renling came out, opened the document, and said in a deep voice: "After comparing the ancient books and data, it is confirmed that the identity of Marquis Yongwu is true."
"Um."
Empress Liang Zhao hummed softly, stood up, looked down at the civil and military officials, and said loudly: "Yong Wuhou is a martial arts wizard in Dahuang. He has recently made a breakthrough in martial arts and has just come out of seclusion. I asked him to go to court to tell you that Tianlang What is owned by the country and the Jiuyou Kingdom is also available in my Great Wilderness!!"
An old minister was filled with tears and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, may I ask if Marquis Yongwu has achieved a breakthrough..."
All civil and military officials also looked at Empress Liang Zhao, waiting for her answer.
Empress Liang Zhao nodded slightly and responded loudly: "Yes, Marquis Yongwu has broken through the limits of martial arts and became a first-class grandmaster!"
"Okay, okay!" The old minister burst into tears and waved his hands excitedly, saying: "Finally, finally... we in the wilderness finally have our own first-grade grandmaster!!"
"Your Majesty, the brave Marquis of Wu has bravely conquered the three armies, and his martial arts cultivation has reached its peak. I implore Your Majesty to let him serve as the general of the auxiliary country and contribute to the country and the country!" A military attaché came out, held up the court board, and said loudly.
The words of this military attache aroused the resonance of many military attaches. They all raised the court board and said in unison: "Please Yongwuhou to serve as the general of the auxiliary country and contribute to the country and the country!!"
For a moment, the unanimous voices of the military attachés resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace.
Empress Liang Zhao was also shocked by the concerted efforts of the military attaches, but she soon realized that the people's support can be used!
The military attaches belong to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War supports her.
The military attachés petitioned in unison, further proving that the military attachés had suffered from civilian oppression for many years and were eager to find a leader to lead them out of their predicament.
And Yongwu Hou Liang Yong is the most suitable candidate.
Empress Liang Zhao was extremely satisfied. She was eager to let these military attachés stand in the way so that she could have an excuse to promote Liang Yong.
"Quiet, quiet!!"
The eunuch holding the whip began to crack his whip again to maintain order in the Jinluan Palace.
"Mother, what do you think?"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at the figure behind the curtain and asked.
Su Chang pondered for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, handle it yourself!"
"good."
The corner of Empress Liang Zhao's mouth curled up, and at the moment she turned around, she quickly restrained herself and said in a deep voice: "Yong Wuhou, bravely championing the three armies, breaking the limit of a grandmaster, breaking through the predicament of having no grandmaster in the wilderness for hundreds of years, I am deeply gratified, The brave lord has been given the post of general to assist the country. I hope that the general can continue to serve the country and protect the country."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Liang Yong stood up and saluted.
"General, take a seat!"
Empress Liang Zhao smiled and nodded.
The meeting continues.
After the episode just now, the content of the next court meeting will be relatively boring.
It means that some ministers report on the work of various ministries and some issues that need to be dealt with.
"I'm supervising the censor Feng Qian. I have something to report to your majesty." Feng Qian came out, holding the court board in his hand and said loudly.
"Feng Aiqing, what's the problem with this inspection?" Empress Liang Zhao certainly knew what Feng Qian would say, but she needed to act and pretend to get angry better and establish her authority.
"I am supervising the censor Feng Qian and suing Gao Fengyu, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, for accepting bribes from Zhang Qi, the prefect of Qingzhou, which caused the grain reserves of the imperial court to flow into foreign tribes. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
Feng Qian put away the imperial board, took out a memorial from his arms, and read aloud:
"In the ninth year of Chilong, Gao Fengyu, who was then a doctor in the Qingzhou Qingli Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs, accepted a bribe from Hong Junyu, the prefect of Le'an County, with calligraphy and painting antiques worth three thousand taels..."
"Ten years of Red Dragon..."
"Thirteen years of the Red Dragon..."
The charges were read out one by one from Feng Qian's mouth.
All the civil and military officials had different expressions on their faces. They all knew that Gao Fengyu, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, was dead! !
When Gao Fengyu, the right minister of the household department, heard such detailed evidence of crime, his face turned pale as paper, his feet went weak, and he knelt down, his whole body trembling.
When Empress Liang Zhao saw this scene, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: Would a traitor like you be afraid of death?
"Come here, drag Gao Fengyu down and put him in the Criminal Prison."
Empress Liang Zhao raised her hand and ordered.
The members of the Dragon Guard came in. Two people, one on the left and one on the right, dragged the right servant of the household, Gao Fengyu, up like a dead dog, and pulled him out of the Golden Palace.
Gao Fengyu, the right minister of the household department, said nothing, his expression was dull, his whole body was trembling, and he did not yell.
In other words, he knew very well that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. As long as it was exposed, he would definitely die!
"The three departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will conduct a joint trial. I want a result and capture his accomplices!!" Empress Liang Zhao ordered in a cold voice.
"I obey the decree!"×3
The Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan came out together and saluted respectfully.
After Empress Liang Zhao finished handling all this, she leaned back in her chair and asked softly: "Empress, I've handled it this way, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, just handle it yourself." Queen Mother Su Chang said in a calm tone.
Empress Liang Zhao felt extremely happy in her heart. Sure enough, under the pressure of the Grand Master, even Queen Mother Su Chang had to worry about Marquis Yongwu's attitude and thoughts.
Thinking of this, Empress Liang Zhao gave her trusted minister a look, indicating that he could start.
The confidant ministers immediately understood and were planning to step forward and proposed to abolish the imperial title system and let His Majesty rule in person.
A figure was one step faster than him, holding a court board, and said loudly: "I have something to report to you, Zhou Zhenwen, the Grand Scholar of the Supreme Palace and the Prince's Young Master!!"
Um... The trusted minister stopped and retreated silently.
Although he didn't know what Zhou Zhenwen wanted to do, since the other party had come out and started talking, he couldn't resist him, so he could only retreat.
"speak!"
Empress Liang Zhao was a little unhappy, and Zhou Zhenwen interrupted her plan again.
However, the next moment, Zhou Zhenwen's words made her feel that they came at the right time! !
"I thought that Your Majesty has reached adulthood and it is time for you to take charge!"
"I suggest that the imperial title system be abolished and your Majesty please take charge!!"
Zhou Zhenwen raised the board and said without any doubt.
