I'm back

The regent and the little emperor seem to be reconciled as before, and the regent seems to be in a good mood today. This is the conclusion drawn by the courtiers after a quarter of an hour after the start of the morning court.

The courtiers don't know why the regent and the little emperor suddenly reconciled, just like they don't know why the two had a quarrel in the first place, but it doesn't matter if they don't know, as long as the regent doesn't move at all, it depends on which courtier doesn't care. It's pleasing to the eye, and they will be very satisfied if they just pick someone to perform the surgery.

Among the officials of Dayan, except the editors and editors of the Imperial Academy who can enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a sixth-rank body, only the fifth-rank and above can see the Holy One every court.

Although they have to get up from the bed before dawn every day for the morning court, and wait in the square before Mao's hour, lined up to enter the palace, but this also means that they can often show their faces in front of the emperor or the regent, So as to get more promotion opportunities.

Unless something is particularly important, generally only courtiers of the fourth rank or above are eligible to submit memorials to the emperor.In the past, officials below the fourth rank were quite envious of ministers who were one rank higher than themselves, because the other party not only had a higher rank than themselves, but also had more opportunities for promotion.

But these days, the officials of the fourth rank and above are far less happy than the fifth rank courtiers who show their faces less.

Ever since the little emperor and the regent had a quarrel, the regent went to the court every morning, and within a quarter of an hour, he had to pick an unlucky person to operate on.

It's fine if the regent is a fool, but every time the regent points someone, the evidence of the crime is generally convincing, and it's impossible to teach people to struggle at all.

As the emperor, Yan Qin has always been against the regent. It was like this before taking office, and it was like this after taking office.Even if he had a quarrel with the regent, he would not do anything unfavorable to Dayan Jiangshan just to quarrel with the regent.

The regent showed the evidence, and the little emperor acquiesced, and the officials who were named could only be removed from the black hat, and dragged out of the Golden Palace with a pale face.

Through these few days of observation, the courtiers discovered that the regent's surgeons were all senior officials of rank four or above.Being able to climb to the position of the fourth rank, no courtier is really clean-handed, the little emperor is also very clear about this, but the things these people have done have not been shaken out, and they have not violated the taboo of the monarch. Yes, and they will not be taken lightly.

And every time a senior member of the fourth rank falls, the regent will immediately recommend a new person to take the position, so as to prevent the court from causing more trouble due to lack of manpower.

Today, the few remaining members of the fourth rank were trembling, for fear that the regent would reveal some of the bad things they had done. As a result, after waiting for a long time, the regent did not speak until half an hour later. Halfway through, the regent still didn't say anything.

Is it because the evidence in the regent's hands is exhausted, or is there something else wrong? There is no way to guess what the regent is thinking, and the courtiers can only get through this different early court slowly.

This feeling of waiting for the "sentencing" is not pleasant. After struggling for a while in an uneasy mood, some courtiers secretly raised their heads and watched the regent sitting next to the little emperor, watching from time to time. The little emperor glanced at it.

In addition to not attacking the courtiers as soon as they came, the sharp-eyed and careful-minded among the civil and military officials also discovered another change between the regent and the emperor.

Ever since the little emperor and the regent got angry, the two have been sitting on one side of the chair, keeping as far away from each other as possible.

But today, the two of them are still sitting on one side of the chair, but the one who was originally sitting on the left is now sitting on the right, and the one who was sitting on the right is now sitting on the left.All of a sudden, the distance between the two people changed from the farthest the chair could reach to the shortest distance with only two armrests resting on it.

The courtiers could vaguely guess from the changing distance that the little emperor had reconciled with the regent. If they were reconciled, they would be safe.

All civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, but they were obviously reassured too early. Halfway through the morning court, a sedan chair stopped in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A moment later, a man's foot protruded from the sedan chair, and that foot landed firmly on the ground. Looking up, it was a blue python robe with nine pythons and five claws. The peacock, which is only worn by Dayan's third-rank civil servants.

The belated official was not in a hurry for his own delay. He walked slowly and steadily into the red carpet of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After turning a corner, the Son of Heaven returned to the high platform, and his originally clear and bright voice became a little hoarse: "I am Dugu Liu, please refer to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor."

Yan Qin hurriedly said, "Ai Qing, please get up."

Dugu Liu was wearing this court dress when he left, and he was still wearing the same dress when he came back, but his appearance has changed a lot from before he left.

Before leaving the capital, his complexion was very good, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy. At first glance, one would think that this is a very healthy young man, but now Dugu Liu looks pale like a ghost.

And if you observe carefully, you can find that Dugu Liu's footsteps are very vain. The reason why she looks as steady as ordinary people is because Dugu Liu walks very slowly.

Yan Qin gave a seat to Dugu Liu, who became sick after a trip: "Come here, bring a chair for Dugu Aiqing."

Dugu Liu wanted to return to the capital, so he had notified the little emperor in advance, so the Jinluan Hall, which has never had any extra chairs and chairs, had an extra chair. As soon as Yan Qin finished speaking, someone moved out the chair that was placed in the shadow , placed right in front of Dugu Liu saluting.

Dugu Liu didn't refuse either, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and sat down gracefully.

The speaker who always likes to confront the emperors jumped out: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." How can a courtier sit casually in the middle of the Golden Temple?Even for the veteran of the four dynasties, the emperor arranged a chair for him to sit on the side, so that he could fight neatly with the rest of the civil and military officials.

Dugu Liu has always been favored by the little emperor, they also know this, but no matter how much the little emperor likes a courtier, he can't do anything foolish.

Yan Qin glanced at his speakers coldly. He had always disliked these bad-tempered toughs, but now before he said anything, these speakers jumped out. It was really ulterior motives.

Let anyone sit on his chair if he likes it.These officials who like to oppose him are really annoying.

But this time is not a good time to deal with the speaker.We must know that the first emperor was such a coquettish and willful person, and he had to endure it when he was so angry with the officials.But he said he was afraid of being branded as a tyrant and a fool.

Yan Qin didn't have too many scruples in that regard, but for the sake of Dugu Liu, he decided to hold back and temporarily treat the speaker as non-existent.

"Dugu Aiqing, tell me about everything you experienced in Shanxidu County in those days."

Dugu Liu used short words to briefly describe those days and nights of hard work in Shanxidu County. What he said was an understatement. Only those who have really experienced those days know how hard those days were.

After succinctly explaining his contribution, Dugu Liu emphatically emphasized his attack, and he thanked the little emperor once again. If it wasn't for the rejuvenation of the imperial physician he sent out, he might have died in the capital of Shanxi. County, can never go back to Kyoto.

Dugu Liu hadn't finished speaking yet, the officer who had said "incompatible with etiquette" had already quietly retreated to his seat, looking silent, as if no one had ever stood up to express dissatisfaction with the emperor's preference .

He only thought it was the little emperor's over-sympathy for Dugu Liu, how could he have expected that such a young man would show such a weak state because he was assassinated.

The emperor glanced coldly at the courtiers below: "It wasn't just Dugu Aiqing who was assassinated, besides Dugu Liu, the messengers sent by Gu were also killed and thrown into the wild. His After being killed, the corpses were casually thrown into the mass graves, and people were taught to deliberately lure wild dogs to eat them."

After learning that Dugu Liu was assassinated by the so-called emperor's messenger, he sent people to investigate, and he found clues on the road. After finding the messenger's token and uneaten bones from a mass grave Only then did he know that the messenger did not betray him, but was murdered, and died on the way before reaching Dugu Liu.

When he said these words, his gaze wandered over the faces of the courtiers, as if he was trying to establish an intimate connection between the man behind the scenes and a certain courtier through their expressions.

But every courtier behaved very normally, and a very few gasped, and said with extreme righteous indignation: "Under the feet of the emperor, there are such vicious gangsters committing rebellion, and they must be severely punished!"

It sounds good to say that, this severe punishment must have been caught by them.But Dugu Liu only saw the side of the assassin, even though he was very talented, he drew the appearance of the assassin in no time, but people were very disappointed that Yan Qin's people put in a lot of effort to find it, None of the assassin's hairs were found.

Dayan's territory is vast, and it is not so easy to find a person who is not so outstanding in the vast crowd.Moreover, the appearance of the man in Dugu Liu's painting is [-]% similar to that of the dead messenger. Thinking about it, the assassin is most likely wearing a human skin mask, so Dugu Liu's painting is useless.

Although all the courtiers behaved very normally, Yan Qin could be sure that the mastermind behind the scenes was definitely related to someone among the civil and military officials standing on the golden palace.Because the messenger who delivered the letter for him took the official route that the imperial court can only take.

The paths that the messengers took were all of a confidential nature, otherwise, if there were any urgent secret reports from the imperial court, they would not be easily robbed by thieves.

Yan Qin looked at the silent civil and military officials below, tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon chair: Except for him, the regent, and Dugu Liu, everyone below was suspicious.
