C133 court(1)

Xiao Yi Xiu's tall and graceful figure was reflected in the bronze mirror. He straightened his collar and turned to look at Gu Qing Li, who was looking at him unblinkingly. "What, what's wrong?"

"The color isn't right." Gu Qingli furrowed her delicate eyebrows. "No matter how you look at it, I don't think this is your color."

Xiao Yi Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He touched the top of her head and said lovingly, "Idiot, I'm going to the court now."

The court uniforms in the East China Sea were dark. The third rank officials and princes were all wearing black court uniforms. The royal family was dressed in black, with long, curvy robes, embroidered with golden lines, and embroidered with clouds and sea serpents. Xiao Yi Xiu had black hair and wore a jade pearl crown on his head. He wore a black robe with eight serpents. Beneath his feet was a lagoon, which gave him a cold and dignified appearance.

"When you ascend to the throne one day, you can change your uniform to white." Only Xiao Yi Xiu, whose clothes were as white as snow and untainted by a speck of dust, seemed normal to Gu Qing Li.

"..." "It seems like there's no white cloth on the uniform. Is it because they're afraid of dirt?"

"It should be that very few people can wear your aura out." Gu Qingli was somewhat smug. Of course, her man was the most elegant and refined in the world.

"So I'll skip it." He smiled as she boarded the carriage and looked back for a long time. Gu Qingli kept leaning on the door until her figure became smaller, until she could no longer see the door to the manor.

The atmosphere in the throne room was solemn and solemn, and it didn't seem any different from usual. It was just that the slender figure strolling leisurely on the red carpet cast a long reflection.

"Why is he here?" Some of the court officials exchanged glances and exchanged words.

Even the crown prince, Xiao Yi Bei, was astonished and looked at that person with hostility.

After all, in the past few days, after the imperial court had discussed the matter, there were many people who wanted King Mo to return to the imperial court to discuss the matter. However, everyone thought that when it came down to it, how could King Mo, who seemed extremely weak, return to the imperial court? Thus, the theory of opposition was actually more than the person who agreed to it.

Those who opposed it were not necessarily being disrespectful to King Mo. They just felt that it would be too cruel to force a sick person into politics.

Even the few who thought that the Emperor might be tempted by the Yan King's suggestion thought that the Emperor must have seen a sick man who had left and was gasping for breath every step of the way.

However, when he really stood where he used to be, that elegant and elegant manner of his was still the same as before. He had only restrained the sharp aura of that battle on the battlefield and removed the last bit of that young man's immaturity.

Therefore, when the emperor announced that King Mo had returned to the imperial court to discuss politics, the slight commotion in the crowd was like a quiet undercurrent silently flowing.

However, this was not the greatest surprise. There was a second uninvited guest in the imperial court — Prince Yi.

More than half of the courtiers had never seen this legendary Prince Yi, and less than half of the people who had seen him in the past were alarmed by the sudden transformation of an eight-year-old into a mature, deep, smiling man.

What was the Emperor planning to do? Sensitive people have been alarmed that another wave is brewing in the direction of the storm.

Sure enough, the first thing that came to mind was the Minister of Rites' letter that had been hanging in the air for a long time.

There were only a few fans and supporters who disagreed with him, especially the princes and the royal families. On the other hand, under Prince Chen's eyebrows, there was a pair of unfathomable eyes. He slowly looked around and exchanged a look with Xiao Yi Xiu.

Ever since Gu Qing Li had left, there had been an additional layer of blurry space between them. Even though it was as narrow as a line, it was difficult to cross it. However, Xiao Yiyan seemed to have grown up quickly after the spring case, and his youthful heroic spirit and innocent smile were no longer visible in the court.

Xiao Yixiu's smile was reserved and gentle, and his demeanor was graceful as ever. However, no one could see the depth of his smile.

"Reporting to my royal brother, my younger brother believes that it is time for you to be promoted to the position of assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites and Rites. Moreover, he was familiar with the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally, it was most suitable for him to be promoted. As for the other candidates, it's not that they aren't outstanding, but that they are not qualified to be appointed by other positions. "

The throne room was silent for a moment. Everyone was considering their words. Although there were many objections, Prince Yi had recently been recalled by the Emperor, so they didn't know the Emperor's intentions. The astute and astute people all thought that they should test the Emperor's attitude towards him before deciding on his decision.

Prince Li, on the other hand, took a step forward. Without even looking at his younger brother, he said confidently, "Prince Yi's words are reasonable, but I'm afraid he has lived in the borders for a long time. He doesn't know that in the spring case this June, Kaiser Shang Zhong was sentenced to a year's imprisonment for his dereliction of his duty as an official. Although he is an upright and unyielding official, who can say that he is not guilty of dereliction of duty? "

Xiao Lingfei chuckled softly, "I'm afraid Prince Li is not clear about this. I've already been back in the capital for more than half a month. Even when I was far away at the border, I've been back in the capital for quite some time already."

Xiao Lingbin finally looked him in the eye. "Then you actually think that you can improve yourself before you've passed the test for too long?" Isn't that a joke? "

Xiao Lingfei said calmly: "Advancing does not necessarily mean that you have absolute trust in him, and it is not like you are pushing him into a supreme position. The higher you go, the more you will feel. In the spring of March, when the Ministry of Rites was written by Liu Zhengyan and he was only appointed as assistant minister, he was responsible and only implicated, although he was guilty of dereliction of duty. As a subordinate, he couldn't interfere too much with the subtle actions of a direct superior. "Liu Zhengyan is now in the process of being executed, and Jia Shangzhong was only in charge of the administration of the court at the end of May. How could he have known that Liu had been in charge for the past three months?"

Xiao Lingbin froze as a chill went up his spine. He was the one who most could not understand the Emperor's intention of summoning Prince Yi back to the capital, and at the moment he was the one with the most dissent in his mind. As the Emperor's closest brother, he could not understand the Emperor's intentions, and he had a faint feeling that Prince Yi had been recalled, as if to take his place.

The emperor, on the other hand, maintained his composure. He did not show any signs of joy or anger, nor did he have any objections. He only slowly turned his gaze towards the faces of the court and officials of the Wang Family, not missing a single one.

"Imperial Father, this son believes that being virtuous is not avoiding family. He has been an assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites for eight years. He has been strict in his actions and has done his duty. Like Prince Yi, this case is not sufficient to determine Kaiser Kaiser's character. Looking at his past achievements, he truly is capable of becoming the President. As for whether or not he is willing to support him, it will all depend on whether or not royal father is willing to give him a chance. "

After Xiao Yi Xiu finished his long sentence, he seemed to have lost all his strength. He panted slightly before taking out his handkerchief and covering his mouth as he coughed lightly. Then, he retreated back to his seat.

The court officials kept clamoring. Those who were emotional and courageous spoke so loudly that even the king could hear them, "Indeed, people do not avoid marriage. It is clear that they are selfish …"

However, the current Xiao Yixiu seemed to be sick, and was a little different from before. He coughed lightly, and his face seemed to become even paler, his jade-like soft lines had turned a little cold and hard, and his voice also became a little weaker, "My son has been ill for many years, and even the imperial physician has asserted that it has only been three to five years. Now, four years have passed, but I still do not know how long it will take for me to return … If we are to talk about selfishness, we can only hope that royal father can fortify the situation forever.
