Chapter 423

On the 24th of July, at the quarter of one o'clock, the imperial study was full of recommendation notes from various officials.

The emperor went to Yufu Palace today. It happened that Xiao Yanjun also stayed at imperial concubine Li for dinner. On a whim, the emperor explored Xiao Yanjun's intention during the banquet. Xiao Yanjun was stunned and then smiled: "the memorial of my son's minister has also been on, and my father will know when he goes back."

Seeing this, Princess Li threw a Jiao and pulled the emperor's clothes: "it's rare for your father and son to eat in my jade Fu Palace. Can the emperor stop discussing state affairs and enjoy a moment of warmth?"

The emperor saw that she was angry at the top of her eyebrows, but her eyes were charming, with a frown and a smile, showing her amorous feelings. Her thin white and slender fingers were pulling her clothes. Naturally, he stretched out his hand to cover Princess Li's hand. After exposing this topic, he would not ask more questions.

At this time, the emperor finished his meal and went back to the imperial study with great interest to see who Xiao Yanjun could recommend.

There are many stacks of memorials. It takes a lot of effort to find out Xiao Yanjun's book. Anyway, the emperor simply looks at it from the top. There are still some expectations before reading it. After reading it, the emperor is really angry and happy.

No wonder when he asked Xiao Yanjun at dinner, Xiao Yanjun was vague. Secondly, he didn't speak out frankly. I'm afraid he didn't even forget whose name he was writing.

Most of these memorials are divided into two groups. One is the courtiers who have always been neutral or formed their own system. Most of them recommended themselves, and they were angry. The final decision is still the emperor.

They wrote their own names, which not only did not offend people, but also protected themselves. Finally, they could show their loyalty to the emperor in a fake way. They said that although they were not talented and shallow, they were still willing to try their best.

The other is the group of courtiers of Xiao Yanjun and min Zhisong. They can't recommend themselves or their brother-in-law.

After all, although they want this position, they can never get it out of their mouth.

Therefore, their allocation was excellent. Each of them wrote the name of a neutral or first-class courtier and presented it to fool the emperor. It was afraid that when it was Xiao Yanjun's turn, he wrote it by hand according to his assigned name, and he didn't notice who it was.

The emperor's mouth was filled with a sneer. Now the two factions, which are incompatible with water and fire, are in collusion and kick the ball very smoothly.

The emperor finally picked up Xiao Zimu's Memorial and thought that Xiao Zimu had made progress. He could not make no achievements with them. He should always have something new.

With a trace of hope in his arms, he turned his wings and snorted coldly.

Not only did Xiao Zimu not think he was a snake, but he was frank and straightforward. He wrote directly in the memorial: his son's ministers had not paid more attention to the affairs of the court in the past, and the post of governor of Wanzhou was extremely important. His son's ministers did not dare to recommend at will. I hope my father and Emperor will forgive me.

Although the emperor was quite dissatisfied with his memorial, he also felt that he was frank and sincere, unlike those ministers who had cooked it up to deal with him.

When Duke Li came in to serve tea, he saw the memorials in the imperial study torn into snowflakes flying all over the sky. He was so frightened that he knelt on his knees and trembled and shouted in a voice: "please calm down, Emperor."

There was a haze above the emperor, and his eyes were cold and fierce. Duke Li glanced secretly, lowered his head and dared not lift it up again

On the hall of Supreme Harmony in the early morning of the next day, all the ministers were in fear. From last night to this morning, they continued to receive rumors. Last night, the emperor was furious when he saw the memorial of recommendation in the imperial study.

They asked themselves that what they wrote would not displease the emperor's Long Yan.

Therefore, at the moment, they gathered in twos and threes to discuss the reason for the emperor's anger last night.

With Duke Li's sharp voice: "the emperor arrived..."

The ministers returned to their positions in turn, stood neatly, straightened their clothes, saluted respectfully, and shouted, "long live the emperor."

What gave back to them was a cold hum from the Dragon chair. It was not loud, but it was enough to shake the hearts of the ministers.

For a time, none of the ministers dared to speak first to touch the mildew.

But the emperor did not open this respect. The monarchs and officials were deadlocked in the Taihe hall. The longer the silence, the colder the hearts of the officials. I just wanted someone to break this strange scene at this time.

In anticipation, Xiao Zimu stood up: "father."

The tone in the hearts of the ministers could finally relax and breathe again, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zimu said after a pause: "my son's ministers were careless in government affairs in the past and failed to share their worries for my father and Emperor. I wonder if you adults have recommended suitable candidates for my father and Emperor?"

The ministers scolded their mother one after another. They thought there was a savior. As a result, which pot didn't open and which pot didn't open.

Sure enough, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and his cold eyes swept all his Highness's officials.

"I don't know that the courtiers in the court of my great Xiao are so connected. What I wrote seems to be one person. If your handwriting is not different, your names will be different." The emperor paused here and suddenly raised his voice: "I thought there were only two courtiers in the Taihe Hall of the state of Xiao!"

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, all the vast black knelt down.

The minister who can have a seat in the hall of Supreme Harmony is not a human spirit. As soon as the emperor said this, their eyes will know where the problem is.

The time given by the emperor yesterday was too short. They had too little time to discuss. They thought they had come up with a wonderful response and followed suit.

Never thought, but let the emperor mistakenly think that the two factions that control each other's elbows actually colluded with each other to deal with him. How can the Dragon Yan not be angry?

Your heart is unpredictable. This anger can be big or small. The ministers kneel on their knees and people are in danger. At this time, they don't care whether they will offend others. They dig out their mind and really want to share their worries for the emperor, trying to think of a suitable person to recommend.

Finally, Cui Xuhong stood up and began to play: "emperor, Lord Zheng, the newly transferred waiter to the Ministry of work, was originally the official Yin of ancient Anhui. If you don't let him analyze one or two, unite the meaning of the ministers and see if you can choose a suitable candidate for the emperor."

The ministers praised Cui Xuhong one after another. Jiang was still old and spicy, and pushed someone out lightly.

Cui Xuhong bowed his head and felt bitter in his heart. Zheng Zhongguang is Xiao Zimu's cousin. As we all know, he is also helpless. Otherwise, who is willing to offend his highness Qi for no reason.

It's really the emperor's face. It's too bad

In such a waste, I'm afraid no one can escape punishment.

At this time, he pushed Zheng Zhongguang out. Although he wiped the face of prime minister Ju and his seventh highness, it was more appropriate to be in love and reason.

Zheng Zhongguang just took office yesterday and went to court for the first time this morning. He avoided the emperor's recommendation yesterday, but he couldn't escape Cui Xuhong's roll call proposal today
