dream through ancient and modern

"Long Live My Emperor Long Live Long Live"

"Pingshen." On the next day of the Tianen Festival, the court opened. Although Li Zheng came earlier than usual, all the officials were already waiting for him in the hall.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty, Li Jin has a copy." After the death of the emperor's father and the regent, the prime minister, who has always stood at the top of the court, has not played a copy in the court for a long time.

"Precise play."

"I would like to report to Your Majesty, since the case of Wang Shangshu's sale and purchase of official posts in the Ministry of Officials was implemented, there has been a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials. The affairs of the Ministry of Officials are complicated. The official affairs that require the post of Minister to personally intervene are piled up like a mountain. I don't know if Your Majesty will have a successor."

"Who is in charge of the current official department?" Why doesn't Li Zheng know the little Jiujiu in their hearts? Since you want to hold on to the position of the head of the six departments, it's good to give it to you, but which one of you are such old things? It depends on Emperor Ming Li Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this is Liang Li, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials." Liang Li, the Zuo Shilang, is a descendant of the Liang family who has not flown among the gentry in the capital.He is cousin to Governor Liang Youdao, but Liang Youdao was kicked out of the clan because he privately hired a brothel woman as his wife in his early years, and has never had anything to do with the Liang family since then.

"You have been in charge of the official department for so long, and you are naturally proficient in following the business regulations. From then on, the official department will be in charge of you! I made an exception to mention you as the secretary of the official department. I hope that you will live up to my expectations by learning from the past."

"Long live my emperor Xie, I will fulfill my duty and live up to the grace of God."

Prime Minister Li entered the queue without making any other announcements, and stood there watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart. Li Zheng wondered whether he had complied with him or not, and his attitude was a little strange.Shadow hadn't found out the candidates from these gentry families in the past few days, so Li Zheng could only keep his eyes closed. Anyway, the Liang family was not like the Li family in the prime minister's mansion. The minister is connected to the bone.His power is not enough to shake the sky, and he cannot escape from the palm of Emperor Ming.

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty, Zhao Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has this performance."

"Precise play."

"In the past few days, the officials involved in the case of buying and selling official positions in the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials have been escorted to Beijing one after another. Although there is an amnesty decree on the Tianen Festival, this matter is of great importance. I dare not let it go lightly. Please ask the emperor to clarify the decree. "

"Let me think about it." Logically speaking, they would take advantage of the amnesty of the world and release all the officials whose crimes are not worthy of death. Li Zheng thought that the officials would let them go, instead of killing them all.But those old things are uncharacteristically, let the Ministry of punishment propose punishment, why?Li Zheng understands the truth that if things go wrong, they will be monsters, but they just can't figure out the way in this corner.

"The decree is that in the case of buying and selling official positions, officials above the fifth rank will be confiscated and sentenced to death. The men of the three clans will be exiled together, and the female relatives will be sent back to the silk workshop where they came from. As an official in the court, three generations of people without meritorious service are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination." This punishment is not light on the perpetrators, but Li Zheng avoided a punishment that persecutes women.According to the law of the later Chu Dynasty, officials of the fifth rank and above committed capital crimes, and the female family members of the three clans were to be enslaved. To put it bluntly, they were sent to various official brothels to work as prostitutes.And the silk workshop is a government-run silk business. If you enter the silk workshop as a servant, you will suffer at most and support yourself.

"Do you have any objections?"

"The minister has no objection."

"Is there still a play today?"

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty, Wei Xu, Minister of the Honglu Temple, has this performance."

"Precise play."

"Report to Your Majesty, Wu Chengguo's envoy has come to see His Majesty, and wants to ask for marriage from my Queen Chu. Wu Chengguo's envoy and Princess Ning Ya are already waiting outside the hall."

"There is no prince in my harem for the time being, and all my brothers and sisters have married concubines at the age of fourteen. What kind of marriage does Wu Chengguo ask for?"

"I don't know, the envoy only said that he would go into details when he saw His Majesty."

"Xuan."

"Xuan, the envoy of Wu Chengguo is here!"

"Kowtow to His Majesty, the Emperor of Empress Chu." The envoys of Wu Chengguo and Princess Ning Ya entered the hall and bowed to Emperor Ming on one knee.

"Pingshen, Wu Chengguo is here as an envoy, but the envoys are King Xiangyang and Princess Ningya?"

"His Majesty the Emperor, it is Xiao Wang and Wang Sister." This King Xiangyang is the second prince of the emperor of Wu Chengguo who has always been in charge of foreign affairs of various countries, and this princess Ning Ya is the most beloved daughter of the emperor, and the most beautiful woman in Wu Chengguo according to rumors. .

"Who is the King of Xiangyang asking for marriage this time?" Li Zheng looked at Princess Ning Ya, who was very beautiful. What an easy character to deal with.In the past when Li Zheng was the emperor's grandson, people often heard people say that when Princess Ning Ya was 14 years old, she pretended to be her twin brother and went to the battlefield. A mere 20 cavalry defeated the enemy's [-] horses.Wu Chengguo Shengding Emperor was overjoyed when he found out about it, and made Princess Ning Ya a general, commanding [-] cavalry.Emperor Shengding once said to his ministers when he was drunk that if his most beloved Princess Ning Ya was born as a man, he would immediately enshrine her. As soon as this word spread, the people of Wu Chengguo privately called Princess Ningya His Royal Highness, but it was a pity that Wu Chengguo counted There has never been a female emperor in a hundred years of history. Although the emperor of the Holy Cauldron values ​​it very much, he never thought of letting her succeed him.Since Princess Ning Ya turned sixteen, princes and lords from all over the world have stayed in the city of Wu Chengguo, wishing to meet and make a marriage contract, but no one has ever seen the princess herself.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this proposal is for the sake of my sister." The King of Xiangyang bowed slightly. After me, the state of Chu is behind me, so why ask others to marry me? Besides, I have no prince born, and all the royal brothers and brothers have their own concubines, so who is Princess Ning Ya asking for marriage?"

"To Your Majesty?" Princess Ning Ya, who was standing aside, didn't speak, but when she spoke, the jaws of Li Zheng and the courtiers were scared off.

"Your Royal Highness, when I succeeded to the throne, I was already a queen. The princess has a noble status. Could it be that she wants to enter my harem as a concubine?"

"Just right." Princess Ning Ya stared at Li Zheng coldly, making Li Zheng uncomfortable.All the officials below exchanged glances, not knowing what Princess Ning Ya of Wu Chengguo wanted to do.

"Haha, the princess likes to joke, but I don't dare. If I really take you into the harem, I'm afraid I will be eaten alive by the kings and princes of the surrounding countries." Princess Ning Ya's position in Wu Chengguo is very important. If the monarch of a country can make her queen, one-third of Wu Chengguo will eat her.But Li Zheng didn't want to, the tree was so big that it attracted the wind, and the peace of the Chu State for decades could not be destroyed by him.You can't be a strong country and hegemony, but at least don't let your people live in dire straits.

"Ning Ya didn't joke. Ning Ya sincerely admires His Majesty the Emperor and wants to enter His Majesty's harem. As for other trivial matters, Ning Ya doesn't care." Li Zheng looked at her expressionless face. This is not an expression of admiration, it is clear. She was talking about something she didn't care about. Besides, how did things like war get into her mouth? It became a trivial matter!

"Your Highness, the princess, and I have never met before, so where is the admiration? The marriage of the most beloved daughter of the emperor of Wu Chengguo is not a trivial matter. The princess should go back to the country and discuss it with your father before making a decision. If you ask the emperor Shengding to personally Write a letter of credence to propose marriage, and I will be willing to accept you into the harem. The princess can also live in my Chu Kingdom for a while, and I will marry you whoever you like." Li Zheng sat on the dragon Sitting on the chair, with a cold face, her eyes were playfully looking at Princess Ning Ya.The two looked at each other, as if they were seeing something in each other's eyes.

"No, Ning Ya will stay in the capital of Hou Chu State. It will last half a year. If His Majesty still refuses to agree to Ning Ya's marriage proposal, Ning Ya will return to the country." This is a good one, the most beloved of the Holy Cauldron Emperor. The princess, Wu Chengguo's dignified general, has become a dog skin plaster.

Princess Ning Ya walked straight out of the hall after finishing speaking. The envoy of Wu Chengguo, King Xiangyang, even withdrew from the plea, leaving Li Zheng speechless. They can retreat to their respective homes.

A person who likes to call himself by his own name is either too confident or too inferior.
