rebirth will be hard to find

Regarding the sudden appearance of the "illegitimate child" of the Cheng family, the court officials had different reactions, and most of the old officials kept secrets and did not dare to get entangled in this matter at all.On the contrary, those new ministers who were promoted by Chu Yi himself were even more aggrieved and difficult to accept.

In fact, such a reaction is not unexpected, because although the veterans did not believe that the child was Chu Yi's own, most of them had seen the brother-sister relationship between Chu Yi and the late emperor, and there was a rumor after the late emperor's death that the harem There was an accident because the first emperor left a posthumous child, and His Majesty had that accident in order to silence the mouth.

The king's heart is like iron, and there are countless people who will do anything for the throne, not to mention already in the position, where is there any way out?But having said that, women are always indecisive, maybe the child will stay?What's more, it's just a girl...

Veterans from various factions in the DPRK gathered together and murmured in private, reckoning that this was likely to be the case, and Prime Minister Zhang and Taifu Zou had never said anything, as if they had tacitly agreed.So they all kept silent and didn't say anything, and when their own children came to ask, they also strictly asked them not to make unreasonable comments.

This matter seemed to have caused a little disturbance, but it was nothing in the end, because at this time, no one thought that Chu Yi raised this child as an heir!Of the two former empresses, one chose a son from the clan to inherit the throne, and the other passed it on to his own son, and both passed the throne back to the man.Now that His Majesty is about to get married, and will pass on to his heirs, so what's the big deal about giving the late emperor's posthumous son the status of a princess?

Many people didn't take this matter to heart, and only some newly promoted courtiers didn't know the details, so they would pay special attention to it.But no matter whether he cared or didn't care, the turmoil caused by this incident was destined to end, or it would come to an abrupt end, because His Majesty did another thing that shocked the court after looking for something to work overtime.

The seventh day of October is the Great Court Meeting, and all the officials of the court are present, including many scattered officials with empty posts.

Since Chu Yi and Cheng Zian returned to the capital, this grand court meeting has been held several times, and everything is as usual.Cheng Zian, who was at home after returning home, had never been in the Xuanzheng Hall, and many of the newly promoted officials had never even seen her.

And on this day, Cheng Zian entered the palace, wearing a crimson official robe, standing straight and handsome on the Xuanzheng Hall with a straight back.

Cheng Zian just reached the crown this year, but although her figure is as tall and straight as a bamboo, her figure is still as thin as a teenager.Many people saw this famous future imperial concubine for the first time. Seeing her handsome appearance and tall and straight figure, they seemed to understand why His Majesty favored her so much.But on the other hand, there are also many people who are puzzled. This little general has been in the border for a year or two, and he is said to have made great military exploits. How could he be so thin?It is more convincing to say that he is a general than a civil servant.

Compared with those new ministers' sneaky glances, the old ministers' attention was obviously elsewhere - the wedding was less than ten days away, and Cheng Zian was not at home preparing for the wedding, why did he suddenly appear in the Xuanzheng Hall? !

Although Cheng Zian went to the military and stayed at home to find a job, her official rank was still there.When she left Beijing two years ago, she was a fifth-rank General Dingyuan. Now that she came back, she has been promoted to a third-rank General Huaihua in terms of military merit.The speed of promotion is really not slow, and it is also because there are many battles in Xinzhou, and military achievements are easy to come by. Otherwise, Mrs. Cheng would not have thought of sending her to Xinzhou first.

Closer to home, generals of the third rank are naturally qualified to stand in this Xuanzheng Hall, and no one can question anything.It's just that Cheng Zian appeared so abruptly that many people were surprised and surprised. They couldn't figure out why she came here for a while?

Why did Cheng Zian come here?She herself is not very sure, because she did not come here on her own initiative today, but Chu Yi sent someone to summon her.The visitor didn't reveal anything, but based on Cheng Zian's understanding of Chu Yi, he can probably guess something.

Sure enough, after discussing all matters in court this morning, Chu Yi waved his hand and asked Anyi to come forward and promulgate a decree. The content was simple and straightforward: Feng Cheng Zian was appointed as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and he was in charge of the [-] Imperial Forest Army and Yulin Guards in the palace.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is a second-rank official position, which can only be regarded as a small promotion in terms of rank, and even the 1 troops under his command are not comparable to the number of soldiers and horses in Cheng Zian's hands when he was at the border.But how can the forbidden army in the palace compare with the Chinese army in the Xinzhou camp?The Imperial Forest Army and the Habayashi Guard are in charge of the defense and security of the entire imperial palace. The purpose of separating the two divisions is to contain each other, but in the end they are under the jurisdiction of one person. What is it?

After hearing this imperial decree, many people suddenly realized that the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and General Habayashi had been dismissed long ago. They have been vacant for nearly three years, and they have only been replaced by their deputy. So it turned out that they were waiting for this person to come back? !

For a moment, the officials in the court were inexplicably astonished, and even some old officials expressed their disapproval with heartache.Not for Xiaojin's half-rank official position, but for the authority of the Imperial Forest Army and Habayashi Guard, the commanding power of the Imperial Forest Army and Habayashi Guard must not fall into the hands of one person, especially if this person is the imperial husband who is about to get married!What happened during Emperor Jingping's reign must not be repeated!

Chu Yi had expected this to be the case. It would be like this when Cheng Zian was unknown two years ago, and it would still be like this now that Cheng Zian had made great military achievements.In fact, the ministers' admonitions and worries were not wrong, and it would be impossible for her to do this with another person. To do so would be to entrust all her wealth and life to one person.It's just that that person is Cheng Zian, and it's just because that person is Cheng Zian.

Ignoring the excited crowd in the main hall, Chu Yi lazily said, "I trust her highly, and I am willing to entrust her with my family and life. Life and death are my choices, so what does it have to do with you?"

It's really capricious to say this, and it's also quite... foolish.

There was a moment of silence in the Xuanzheng Hall. Many people didn't care about being rude, and looked up at Chu Yi——for the past two years, His Majesty, who has been diligent in government, loves the people, knows people and is good at responsibility, and has already become a wise emperor, wants to be stubborn and nepotism? !Such a "faint lord" is really their majesty?Could it be that he was unknowingly dropped by someone? !

The new ministers were inexplicably surprised, looking at Chu Yi with confusion, they couldn't believe it.The veterans were heartbroken, but at the same time they still had a strange calmness in their hearts, and they never felt anything strange.You know, back then, His Majesty even did such a thing as dismissing the court in order to get married!They would not be surprised at all if she became a general in a fit of rage.

Your Majesty, when you encounter Cheng Zian's matter, you have the potential to be a fool!

However, it is clear and clear, and it is impossible not to say words of remonstrance. Chu Yi's actions today are really too much, and it can even be regarded as touching the bottom line. No one in the civil and military courts will easily compromise.

In the previous dynasty, although there was no female emperor, even if the princess married, the son-in-law had to avoid suspicion. From then on, apart from the vain title of a son-in-law captain, it was impossible to even have a formal official position, and her official career was ruined.The state of Chu is much more tolerant towards concubines, but such precautions are not unreasonable, because in the history of Chu state, there were also cases where princesses consorts joined forces with other kings to conspire against each other.Now that Cheng Zian is going to be the emperor's husband, if she is holding the imperial army in her hands, if she has the rebellion and wants to force the palace, it will be as easy as pie!

The emperor alone is responsible for the world, and the ministers certainly cannot let this possibility arise.Not to mention others, but Mrs. Zou, who watched Chu Yi and Cheng Zian grow up, couldn't help frowning at this moment, and stood up to say a few words.

However, as soon as Taifu Zou took a step, he heard a clear voice behind him speak first: "Your Majesty, please take it back."

Taifu Zou paused, then retracted it, and his frown relaxed slightly.Because he recognized that it was Cheng Zian's voice, and since childhood, Cheng Zian had been more stable than Chu Yi, as long as her original intention remained unchanged, then she would know what choice to make at this time.

Because Cheng Zian, the person involved, came out to refute, the voice of persuasion in the hall suddenly stopped, and many people waited and watched Chu Yi's reaction.

Chu Yi pursed his lips slightly, looking a little unhappy, but it was just unhappy, and he didn't mean to get angry or blame.She straightened her back, looked down at Cheng Zian who looked down respectfully, and asked, "Why did I take back my life? Is it because you are not worthy of my trust, or are you not worthy of my life?"

These words are actually extremely serious, if someone else came, he would have to kneel down and plead guilty.However, Cheng Zian did not kneel, she still lowered her eyes slightly, with a calm expression: "Your Majesty trusts your ministers, and you will repay them with your life. However, this is not in line with the ancestral system. Your Majesty cannot hand over the forbidden army to one person, let alone a minister."

Cheng Zian's voice was clear and firm, and he lightly rejected the power that the emperor had given him.Many people cast their eyes on her, sizing up, suspicious, disgusted, admiring... all kinds of things.

Chu Yi sat high on the dragon chair, pursed his lips and did not speak for a while, just staring at Cheng Zian.

She knew that she had the potential to be a fool, and this time she was reborn, she actually had a good view of the past life. Although she didn't end up with a good death in the end, she didn't feel any nostalgia.In her previous life, she didn't care too much about her family and country, and it's the same in this life. She can be a good emperor who is diligent in governing and caring for the people.But in comparison, her selfishness was extremely heavy, and in this selfishness, Cheng Zian accounted for a large proportion.

To put it simply, Chu Yi didn't want to wrong Cheng Zian, nor did he want to wrong himself.She must give Cheng Zian some power, otherwise she would be sorry for the two years of separation, and even more sorry for the new injuries on Cheng Zian's body!But at the same time, she didn't want to be separated from Cheng Zian anymore, she wanted to be able to see her whenever she looked up, anytime, anywhere!So besides the commander of the Royal Forest Army, is there a better choice?

But Cheng Zian refused. Like two years ago, she refused without even thinking about it!

Chu Yi felt a little depressed, a little angry, and a little... wronged...

The author has something to say: Chu Yi (angry): You actually refused, you don't want to see me anytime, anywhere!

Cheng Zian (Shunmao): Distance produces beauty, I will get tired of seeing you every day

Chu Yi (nympho): Nonsense, you are so good-looking, I can look at you forever...
