Young Master Liu instinctively cast his eyes on the girl Ren Qingrui's cherry-red lips, and was slightly startled.
Randomly reacted and shook his head hurriedly.
Whatever I was thinking about, it was all led astray by Song Qing's crooked stuff.
Isn't it normal for a young girl who is around twenty-eight years old to have a simple mind, high vigilance, and a tight mouth? There's nothing strange about it.
It doesn't matter if there is a problem.
Young Master Liu rubbed his nose sadly and continued on his way.
"Hmm...it's good to keep your mouth tight, but talking too much will lead to mistakes."
"That's right, I'm very tight-lipped. Except for you, Da Guoguo, sister... little brother, I won't speak to anyone.
"Hurry on, don't talk nonsense."
Ren Qingrui looked at the back of Young Master Liu in confusion. Did he say something wrong?
Why does Daguoguo look guilty?
After muttering for a while, the girl turned her mind to the bustling streets.
Liu Mingzhi had no time to pay attention to the surprised look of Ren Qingrui yelling at the folk customs on both sides of the street, and led her directly to Penglai Restaurant in the capital, which was not too far from the palace gate.
Compared with Penglai Restaurant, Liu Mansion is naturally safer and more reliable.
However, Liu Mingzhi did not do this. He was not afraid that Liu Zhi'an and his wife would misunderstand something, but because of some thoughts on the road that made him instinctively choose this way.
When going to Penglai Restaurant to stay, it is inevitable to meet with Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi, two old 'friends' who have an inexplicable relationship.
Under the surprised and sad eyes of Xue Bizhu, Liu and Young Master temporarily stayed in a private room on the fourth floor of Penglai Restaurant.
Regarding the arrival of Young Master Liu, the two women naturally showed great sincerity and treated their heartless sweetheart with the utmost care.
Liu Mingzhi had a clear mind and knew what the two women were thinking about him.
He has not forgotten the promise he made back then.
But at the moment, he really didn't have the heart to care about these matters of affection between his children, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing the two girls, so as soon as he entered the room, he opened the window and looked at the palace gate not far away.
The two sisters Xue Bizhu, who originally wanted to stay with their sweetheart for a while and express their sincere feelings, saw that their sweetheart was worried, so they put down the food specially prepared for Young Master Liu, said that if you have anything to do, just ask, and then left together. He left the room and walked towards Ren Qingrui's room, hoping to get some hints about Liu Mingzhi's purpose of coming to Beijing from his sweetheart's little brother.
It's not that the two women are overly concerned, but that they want to understand the reason and see if there is anything their sisters can do to help.
However, Ren Qingrui really didn't lie.
Her mouth is really tight.
No matter how attentive the two women were, this girl would either ignore him or bury herself in eating and drinking exquisite pastries.
The two women who wanted to help never got what they wanted.
The two women were filled with resentment, and finally they had no choice but to leave the room where Ren Qingrui was staying, leaving the tight-lipped 'small-breasted brother' to eat and drink alone.
Liu Mingzhi silently put away the telescope in his hand and closed the window that could overlook the approximate location of the palace.
I washed my hands casually, took a few bites of the food carefully prepared by the two women, then lay on the bed with my clothes on and fell asleep.
It's getting late, so it's no longer appropriate to enter the palace today.
It would be better to take advantage of the early morning court tomorrow to enter the palace. It would be a good time to use the conversation between the officials to find out why Li Ye urgently summoned him to the capital to see him.
At the zenith of the moon, Penglai Restaurant, which had been busy all day, finally closed before the curfew.
After bathing and changing clothes, the two women put on clean clothes after washing away the tiredness of the day. They dressed up specially to show their most beautiful sides, and then quietly came to the door of Young Master Liu's room.
After knocking on the door several times to no avail, the two women hesitated for a while and gently opened the door. What they saw was Young Master Liu sleeping peacefully under the crackling candlelight.
The two Xue Bizhu sisters, who thought they could take the opportunity to talk to their sweethearts all night long, saw this and couldn't bear to disturb Young Master Liu's dream.
Riding back to the capital from northern Xinjiang, you must have been very tired along the way.
No wonder I slept so soundly.
The two sisters looked at each other and rubbed their teeth several times.
Hesitantly, he sneakily approached the bed, secretly kissed Young Master Liu, and then fled the room like a thief.
After the two girls left, the sleeping young master Liu sighed silently, turned over and changed his position to continue resting.
It's not that Luo Hua is careless because of intention, but because he has no choice but to live up to the beauty's feelings.
It was a quiet and peaceful night. When the rooster crowed three times, the sleeping young master Liu suddenly opened his eyes, stretched and looked out the window.
Looking at the hazy sky, Liu Mingzhi knew that it was almost time for the morning session, so he immediately got up and prepared to wash up.
The two girls, Xue Bizhu, were extremely considerate. They had already prepared a new set of toiletries for Young Master Liu when they arranged the room yesterday.
With no one to serve him, Liu Mingzhi washed himself and put on his python robe himself, then stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside became brighter.
Mr. Liu took out his pen and ink and left a note. After blowing out the candle, he climbed out of the window and floated down gently.
When he was on the eaves of the second floor, Liu Dashan saw that candles were already lit in the room, and he subconsciously paused for a moment outside the window of the two women's boudoir.
Hearing the soft voices of the two women in the room and the sound of rustling clothes, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and fell to the ground again.
The two women make the Penglai Restaurant a prosperous business, with customers coming in like clouds. This is not only due to Xi Shi's beauty in their restaurant, but also has an inseparable relationship with their hard work.
After Liu Mingzhi landed, he looked around, holding the hilt of his sword and walking towards the palace gate not far away.
A few sounds of horse hoofbeats passed Mr. Liu by, but no one stopped to say hello.
It seems that no one found out that the man walking towards the palace gate alone was actually the current King Liu Mingzhi.
"Be bold and stop all comers. No one can come near the palace gate."
"Liu Mingzhi!"
"Liu Mingzhi? Which Liu Ming...Liu Mingzhi... will finally meet the king side by side, a thousand years old!"
"We see King Side by Side, who is a thousand years old."
Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar commander in front of him, and nodded lightly.
"Everyone is free of charge!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Has the morning started?"
"Back to my lord, it hasn't started yet, but the morning court should be able to start in a few quarters of an hour."
"Well, continue to stick to your post!"
"Yes, the general will obey the order."
Liu Mingzhi didn't know this commander, so he naturally had no intention of talking to him. He rushed straight towards the Qinzheng Hall, and no one dared to stop him.
As for checking the identity, it is naturally unnecessary.
No one dares to pretend to be the King of DPRK!
As Liu Mingzhi hurried on, he looked at the layout of the palace. After months of wandering, he unexpectedly came back again.
Putting the Heavenly Sword in front of the war stand, Liu Mingzhi paused for a cup of tea outside the palace door before entering the palace.
Vaguely hearing the words that the three-year term of the assistant minister had come, Liu Mingzhi seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart.
Li Ye wants to take charge of the government.
"And... King side by side!"
"Prince? I have met the prince."
"I'm going to see you, Your Majesty."
"My lord is well!"
The appearance of Liu Mingzhi was like a huge boulder dropped into the pond, causing waves to splash in the quiet court.
Liu Mingzhi happily responded to the officials around him one by one: "Comrades, you are polite!"
Lao Jiang, who was at the top of the list, smiled and waved his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare, why did the prince suddenly return to Beijing?"
"Enter the capital under the imperial edict!"
"Is it also..."
Lao Jiang stopped as he spoke, gave Young Master Liu a look that said he would talk later, returned to his seat and knelt down.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Xiao Dezi's sharp voice sounded, and Young Master Liu and the officials surrounding Liu Mingzhi stopped talking, retreated to their seats and waited.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
"My dear friends, please take your seats without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Ye was slightly startled when he saw Young Master Liu, then sat on the dragon chair with a faint smile.
"Dear sirs, let's continue our discussion from the last court meeting.
The three-year period for the five auxiliary ministers appointed by Emperor Ruizong has expired. I propose to revoke the power of the five auxiliary ministers to govern. How did you discuss it after you retired from the court? "
Liu Mingzhi had just knelt down and was startled when he heard Li Ye's words.
"Sure enough, as I thought, Li Ye is planning to take back the three-year assistantship rights from the five auxiliary ministers, and he wants to take charge."
It seems that Li Ye's sudden urgent call back to Beijing is closely related to the pro-government matter.
But, I'm afraid it's more than that.
Just for this matter, the exchange of letters was enough, so why did he rush to call himself back to Beijing.
In a hurry, speaking less and listening more is the right choice.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Li Ye vaguely, sat down quietly, and turned his attention to Xia Gongming, Wei Yong, and Tong Sansi.
I want to see the reaction of these three old foxes who are also auxiliary ministers.
However, as soon as Young Master Liu turned his eyes, he discovered that while he was peeking at them, the three old foxes were also secretly peeping at him, obviously wanting to see what his reaction would be.
For a moment, Young Master Liu's thoughts became strange.
Once the power of the auxiliary ministers to make emergency decisions is removed, it means that the prestige and influence of the five ministers among the officials will plummet.
The four people's eyes met for a moment, and each of them looked away, secretly glancing at the reactions of the officials in the palace.
Liu Mingzhi and the other two were observing the officials' reactions, and Li Ye was silently observing the officials' reactions.
The five auxiliary ministers, uncle and old man Yunyang are away from home all year round and are not in the court.
Now 80% of the officials are attached to the left and right prime ministers, and the censor of Yidu has become the disciples of the three of them.
If he doesn't stop him now, it will be even more difficult for him to take charge of the government in the future.
At this time, I also discussed this matter with my grandmother Nangong Meng and my queen mother Chen Jie, and both of them supported my suggestion.
I think it is imminent to take office at this time and there is no time to delay!
It’s just that Nangong Meng believes that if this matter is to succeed, the support of Side by Side Wang Liu Mingzhi is indispensable. Only with his support can the recovery of the rights of the Minister of Assistant Affairs be carried out smoothly!
Otherwise, I am afraid that the prime minister on the left, the prime minister on the right, and the imperial censor will give advice for various reasons.
Xia Yushi was a veteran of four dynasties and was loyal to the country. Nangong Meng was not worried that he would hold on to power. Even if he did not let go, there must be reasons. But it was hard to say for Wei Xiang and Tong Xiang.
Especially the Tong Xiang. In the days when Wei Xiang took office, 40% of the officials followed the Tong Xiang.
If this continues, where will the grandson's majesty as the emperor in the court be placed?
Sure enough, things were not as Nangong Meng expected.
When Liu Mingzhi was still on his way to Beijing, Li Ye raised the matter and was unanimously opposed by 80% of the officials.
The reason is nothing more than that Li Ye is still young and not familiar with court affairs. It is not the best time to take charge of the government now, and he still needs to hone his skills for two years.
In a word, I just don't want Li Ye to take back the rights of the assistant minister now.
As soon as Li Ye came to court, he did not go through the tedious greetings in the past, and talked about the matter as soon as he sat down.
The basic purpose was to tell his uncle the reason why he was summoned urgently.
Those words were indeed meant for the officials to hear, but the most important thing was to tell his uncle the reasons behind the incident and see if his reaction would be the same as the officials' refutation of his actions.
All officials instinctively glanced at Young Master Liu, with complex and different thoughts.
No wonder King Bingjian, who was guarding Northern Xinjiang, suddenly came to Beijing to go to court at this time. It turned out that His Majesty was behind the scenes.
There is a king with heavy troops on the battlefield for His Majesty...
Many officials who were attached to Tong Sansi and the others glanced at the backs of their respective superiors, and their expressions became complicated.
With King Bingjian's past style, as long as he agrees to hand over the power of decision-making by the assistant minister and the power to discuss matters before the court, I am afraid that the three of them, Wei Xiang, Tong Xiang, and Yu Shi, will no longer be able to use excuses to refuse.
I'm afraid King Bingjian will not give them this opportunity.
Many quick-thinking veterans became worried when they saw Young Master Liu sitting there twiddling his thumb.
King Bingjian had the privilege granted by the late emperor to obey the orders but not the announcements. Now that the Northern Expedition is getting tight, he can make an excuse to decline.
However, he obeyed the order and came to Beijing honestly, and many officials suddenly had a bad premonition.
Based on King Bingjian's past loyalty to the court, if His Majesty opens his mouth, I am afraid that the prince will most likely hand over his rights without hesitation.
Otherwise, why would the prince enter the palace at this important moment?
"My dear friends, why are you silent? It has been three days. Could it be that you haven't negotiated a result yet?"
Li Ye's questioning made the silent officials frown.
Subconsciously, he looked at the three superior officers, and finally fell on Young Master Liu who was sitting there with the old god present.
Whether His Majesty can take back the rights of the Assistant Minister and take charge of the government as he wishes, I'm afraid it all depends on King Bingjian's thoughts.
As for the meaning of another auxiliary minister, King Zhongwu Yunyang, considering that King Bingjian is the nephew of Yun's eldest daughter-in-law Liu Ying, how could King Zhongwu be disobedient to King Bingbian.
Following the gazes of the officials, the gazes of the three auxiliary ministers Li Ye and Wei Yong gradually fell on Young Master Liu.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
Young Master Liu, who was in the presence of the old god, felt everyone's eyes on him, and his expression was strange.
After a casual glance, he took out the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan given to him by Queen Yingzuiyan of Shanhaiguan from his sleeve and fanned it gently, murmuring in his heart.
Damn it, I am not your father, why are you staring at me?
I'm not stupid, how could I be such a standout?
Let's see who can endure it.
