Most of noon has passed, Taiqian Hall is bustling with activity, and all the government offices are participating.
The military report sent from Nanguan is of great significance. Although it has not been 100% proven to be true, it does not stop everyone from taking it seriously and planning for the follow-up.
Happiness came too quickly and suddenly, making everyone dizzy.
Order was restored in the court, and the monarchs and ministers arranged the new plan for the South based on the contents of the military newspaper and the map. Those who could participate were the heads of various government offices.
The third prince Zhou Bi, who was standing in the queue of civil servants, still had a faint smile on his face, but behind this smile was full of bitterness.
He suddenly felt as if he was living in someone's shadow unknowingly.
For the first time, I gave money to the palace. I thought it was a huge sum of 70,000 yuan, but under someone's casual wave, the 70,000 yuan became so ridiculous.
The second performance was just like the first time. At first, it was beautiful and happy, and then... I became a laughing stock again, no one mentioned it, and no one cared about it.
None of them are fools. The court had almost no knowledge of such a big move in Nanguan. Only the swordsman of the Yidao Guard had such courage and power. Moreover, it can be seen from military reports that Fanman entered the pass and so on. Isn't this the reason why all the scholars in Beijing criticized and abused him?
After hearing that some people had begun to mention that the contents of these military reports were related to Han You's previous actions in Nanguan, Zhou Ben's smile became stiffer and stiffer.
The ministers carefully chose their words, ranging from "abnormal" Han You's initial behavior in Nanguan, to "incomprehensible", to "acting like an expert", and finally to "the power of gods and ghosts".
Zhou Ben wanted to say something, because my mother kept warning him that no matter what, he must speak twice and talk about his presence.
But he really didn't know what to say or how to say it.
Suddenly, Zhou Ben noticed a gaze and suddenly turned his head, only to see the young prince Zhou Yan, who was wearing a unicorn robe, smiling happily at him. Then he squirmed his lips slightly and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
"Sand pen?"
Zhou Ben was puzzled. Why did Zhou Yan call himself Shabi?
I couldn't figure it out, and I was thinking wildly.
Sand, dust, and pen, could it mean that I wrote the military report at will, but it also fell into the dust and no one cared about it?
Unknowingly, it was almost nightfall, and the longest court meeting since Lao Ba ascended the throne was finally over.
The old man on the dragon chair was still excited because he knew who the fiercely named Han Xiao in the military report was. He was the eldest son of Zhou Ke and the eldest prince of the Tian family!
The ministers dispersed hungry, and the emperor left some old ministers behind. There were too many things to discuss, and just how to mine those mines safely was a big problem.
The old ministers and capable ministers were all retained, but the third child was not retained.
Instead of being surrounded by stars and countless courtiers as before, when Zhou Ben was about to leave the palace, he should have gone to Ningqing Palace to ask Concubine Chen what the next step was.
But when he turned around, Zhou Ben suddenly felt that my mother didn't seem to be able to give him good advice. After thinking for a moment, he thought of another person.
After leaving the palace, Zhou Ben got on the sedan chair and went straight to the Imperial College to find his palace teacher, Dongfang Jian, who was offering wine at the Imperial College.
All the way to the area behind the Imperial College, they entered a bamboo building and the two met each other.
Dongfang Jian had been waiting anxiously all afternoon. After meeting Zhou Ben, he quickly asked why he came to look for him.
Zhou Ben briefly talked about the situation. Regarding his military reports, great victories, and military exploits, they were meaningless because the second military report appeared, which led to the dispersal of the court now.
"Such a huge feat?"
Dongfang Jian listened for a moment and was stunned: "It can't be fake, but it's taking credit. Han You is the best at this. Qiu Ba of the Southern Army doesn't know the depth. It's not a bad idea to join forces with him to make a big show and take credit... "
"Sir, you are suspicious."
Zhou Ben smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know about the battle formation. This matter is by no means a result of military exploits. The merit lies in the country, and even more so in the future. Neither Han You nor the Southern Army will cheat on this matter."
"Yeah."
Dongfang Jian was still full of suspicion: "Then why is it such a coincidence that just as the Donghai Navy Newspaper was delivered to the palace, the Southland Army Newspaper was delivered as well. Wasn't it meant to target you?"
Zhou Ben shook his head.
At first, he thought so too, for a moment, and then his face turned red, because he felt that with his little "war merits", he was not worthy of being targeted.
"I'm not familiar with this. It's mostly about Qiu Ba's killings, and it's related to the wild people outside the pass. I'm not very interested."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Jian said with a slight disdain: "Jiangshan Sheji is nothing more than education. It only knows how to kill and how long it can last. If we want to stabilize the country, we need scholars of our generation to work hard to educate. This is also a teacher's teaching." The reason for the dissatisfaction of the court is that the heavy killings and the merits of enlightenment are sought. The southern army in the southern pass just went out and killed some enemies, so they have to praise it in the court. It is sad and ridiculous."
Zhou Ben, who was holding the tea cup, suddenly felt a little awkward. He couldn't say where it was awkward, but he felt very, very awkward. He who was "listening" felt awkward, and looking at Dongfang Jian who was "speaking", he also felt awkward.
"That's all, don't be discouraged, Your Highness."
Dongfang Jian suddenly smiled: "That Han You kid will not be so rampant for long. Even if he gets some credit, His Majesty will not be able to tolerate him."
"Sir, what you said is..."
"Do you know about Prince Yan's Mansion in the West?"
"I know why I mentioned Prince Yan's Mansion."
"King Yan will enter the capital in a few days." Dongfang Jian lowered his voice and smiled more sinisterly: "I am entering the capital to seek an explanation from your majesty."
"What kind of explanation can I ask for from my father-in-law?"
"This matter has not been passed on to the public." Dongfang Jianxian gave it away: "In this capital, maybe I am the only one who knows about this matter. It was only after a letter from my classmate back then that I knew the inside story. About Yan The Prince’s Mansion, about the eldest son of Prince Yan’s Mansion.”
Seeing that Zhou Ben didn't seem to be very interested, Dongfang Jian could only continue: "The eldest son of King Yan, whose surname is Feng, given name is Xiao, and whose courtesy name is Yunbai. He left the West to study and participated in the scientific examination. After cheating on the scientific examination, , entered the Yi Dao Camp."
Zhou Ben took a breath: "Father, don't you know this?"
"Of course I don't know. If I knew about it, how could I have that person named Han? I thought that the person named Han didn't know either."
"No, the student needs to enter the palace immediately to remind his father that the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion belongs to me, the Western Land of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Confused!"
Dongfang Jian grabbed Zhou Bi and said sternly: "If you want to get rid of Han You, you only have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you know that several troops from Yidao Camp in the Southland have died?"
"What?" Zhou Ben was shaken as if struck by lightning when he heard this.
