The Hunjun's time is always very happy, so in a blink of an eye, it's time to start the morning court.
After Xu Mochen knew the truth, he treated all officials with great courtesy.
When it was dawn, the officials would yawn and go to court in twos and threes.
When we arrived at the main hall, we saw armchairs placed as usual, with thick cushions on the chairs.
The chairs in the front rows were covered with blankets, which could obviously be taken out to cover them when it was cold.
Immortal cultivators don't actually need it, but what they want is this intention.
The main hall is surrounded by dozens of smoke cages, with the flames burning brightly inside. There are also chamberlains holding large fans nearby, sending bursts of hot air into the hall.
It's winter outside, but inside the palace it's as warm as spring.
Everyone was very satisfied, and it was obvious that the emperor valued his ministers.
After all, he is the young Emperor Ma. The incident of beheading the immortal a few days ago was considered a young and energetic mistake, so it is not unforgivable.
As long as you obey me from now on and return to the harem to plow the fields, you can say anything.
Ensure that Daqian Guozuo will be passed down through the ages.
Everyone sat down in twos and threes, and soon a palace maid came up with hot tea.
Suddenly, the sound of bowl lids clinking was heard in the hall.
"This tea is worthy of being offered as an offering. It's very spiritual."
"The water is drawn from Yuquan Mountain. The temperature of the tea is right, the flavor is full, and the aura is also revealed."
"Tell me, Your Majesty, have you compromised on us?"
"Can you not compromise? The civil and military forces of the entire court are in a mess. What else can he do as a lonely man?"
"Hey, the selection of concubines for the harem has been going on for almost a month, but there has been no movement."
"Why are you so anxious? We are all watching the Duchayuan fight with His Majesty. Besides, who among the immortal cultivators would want to enter the palace?"
"How about getting some human women."
"Quiet, this is none of our business. Let's take a look first and then talk."
They were buzzing like bees.
Until a loud voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the ministers stood up to greet the Holy Master.
"Sit, sit, sit," Xu Mochen waved and gestured, "What are you doing standing up in this winter, so quickly wrap it up with a blanket.
Come on, please add more smokers. It's not warm enough. "
The ministers thanked him. In fact, they cultivators were not afraid of the cold, but it was rare for the emperor to be caring and caring, and they had to respect him.
This is also a tradition left by the ancestors of immortal cultivators. The etiquette and superficial skills between the emperor and the emperor of the human race must be in place.
Even if he slaps him casually, the emperor will die.
Xu Mochen said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a month, and I miss you dear friends very much.
I am ashamed to say that I am recuperating in the palace. This important military and state matter depends on my dear friends. Look at everyone, they have all lost weight. "
The ministers were very moved.
"It's also cold out here," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "If anything happens, I'll tell you soon. If nothing happens, I'll buy some hot wine in the Imperial Garden and let's have a drink together."
Immediately, someone shouted "Long live" and then bowed: "Your Majesty, this Royal Garden is the place inside His Majesty's palace. We and other foreign ministers are not allowed to enter unless it is a major holiday."
There is a blessing of national luck inside the palace, and if they all go there, they might be spoiled for choice.
Xu Mochen was stunned: "What Aiqing said is absolutely true. I am lacking. Let's talk about what happened recently.
If it's a minor matter, just report it directly to the Prime Minister. "
"Your Majesty," the Ministry of Rites stood up, "the world has been unified for some time. There are still many meritorious officials in the government and the public. Their merits and fiefdoms have not yet been determined. This matter is a top priority."
Well, many sects have not been officially enfeoffed.
Although these territories are now in their hands, it is still different with the emperor's appointment.
Xu Mochen smiled: "This is a big deal, I will get someone to handle it immediately.
When it comes to rewards based on merit, the Prime Minister has always been known for being fair and strict. If you have any ideas, feel free to talk to the Prime Minister.
Oh, by the way, he has been ill recently, so he can't be disturbed too much. "
This is pushing the matter back. You, as cultivators, should figure out what you want to do among yourself first.
For any sect, every piece of territory means spiritual energy and immortality, and no one is willing to give it up easily.
Everyone's expressions were strange.
Xu Mochen didn't notice it: "Is there anything else? I'll leave the court if I have nothing to do. I'm going to enjoy the flowers and drink."
Xu Yiru hooked his fingers, and a censor next to him understood it and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xu Mochen signaled to hurry up.
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the capital recently that Your Majesty is staying with Princess Yong'an every night and the palace is unclear." The imperial censor took out the memorial, "I don't know whether it is true or not, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it.
Although His Majesty has always been diligent in political affairs and the harem is currently empty, these are just rumors and nothing to be afraid of.
But everything must have a cause and effect. If there are rumors, they may not be groundless. I ask your Majesty to observe carefully so as not to damage your majesty's wise and mighty appearance. "
When I came, I really wanted to talk about this matter.
The chamberlain presented the memorial, and Xu Mochen opened it and scanned it. It was almost the same as what he knew.
The words were sharp, and some of the more despicable ones were also displayed nakedly.
Quick man!
This is no longer a remonstrance from the censor, but a direct insult.
The other party also acted like they were waiting to see what you would do.
"My dear, since I've already said it's just rumors," Xu Mochen folded the memorial, "Why should I care about this?"
"Your Majesty," another censor stood up and saluted, "Earlier at the palace banquet, Your Majesty was rude in front of the guilty minister Liu Yijun. He made it clear that Princess Yong'an was a loyal orphan and should not be humiliated by anyone.
But as far as I know, Princess Yong'an did stay in the palace frequently during this month. His Majesty's words and deeds were inconsistent, which caused the people to get angry. It was really an insult to the royal family. "
"Oh?" Xu Mochen smiled half-heartedly, "You know? Or do you all know?"
The censor was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, this is something that is obvious to all. It is not only known to the ministers but also to the people, so it has been widely spread."
"Your Majesty," another censor stood up, "Princess Yong'an is the princess who was entrusted by your Majesty personally. Although she has no blood relationship with the royal family, the principles of human ethics cannot be abolished.
Although I don't believe that your Majesty stayed with the princess, he had some agenda.
But just because I believe it, it cannot stop the mouths of all the people. "
"Your Majesty once said that the people are like water, and the ruler of Sheji is like a boat. Water can carry or overturn a boat." Another censor stood up, "Now the capital is exaggerating the affairs of your Majesty's palace as a source of discussion. As time goes by, it will be It is detrimental to His Majesty’s reputation.”
The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate made an effort.
They are very patient and they are all loyal ministers. I am afraid that I will be too tired every night.
Xu Mochen looked very moved: "Then according to your wishes, how should I deal with it?"
"Princess Yong'an will never stay in the palace again from now on," a censor said righteously, "Your Majesty will never meet the princess alone again."
"I heard that in a foreign land in the north, there is a letter of credence to ask for a princess," another person followed, "Your Majesty does not have a princess of the right age. I think Princess Yong'an is very suitable for marriage."
"That's good to say. After the princess is loyal and good, she will naturally stand up for the country."
"Yes, in this case, the rumors are self-explanatory. Your Majesty stayed in the palace just to make peace and improve your status as princess."
"Your Majesty, these ministers are speaking from the bottom of their hearts. I hope your Majesty will understand."
…
The meeting suddenly became chaotic.
