Conquer the king with power

Si Yan didn't stay with the Empress Dowager for long, and after the Empress Dowager finished talking about it, he left with an excuse.It is not difficult to guess why Lingnan King married the Cai family.It's nothing more than the Cai family's promise. The king of Lingnan has only been greedy for two things these years, the throne and power.What the Cai family can give most is nothing but benefits and power.Si Yan wanted to see what kind of benefits and power the Cai family would promise to King of Lingnan.

It was already very late when we got back to Zhaohe Hall, Si Yan was washed and washed by the maids of the palace, and then fell asleep.

The next day.

Today is the Xiaochaohui, Si Yan put on an ordinary robe and hurried to the Qinzheng Pavilion where the affairs are discussed.This pavilion was used to deal with government affairs when the first emperor was alive. When Si Yan proposed to have large and small court meetings, Dou Yu led the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sort out the Qinzheng Hall to handle government affairs.

Today, only important cabinet ministers and six major officials came, and most of them came on important matters.Si Yan didn't say much when he entered the door, he just let them discuss the matter, and he listened from the side.

Since Cai Shoufu confirmed the water conservancy project in Shu County, most of his thoughts have been on it, while Feng Xiang and other important ministers are busy with encircling Enke next spring.

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, there were six major cases, and there were vacancies for officials in the six departments. In recent days, the ministers, the elders, and the cabinet have drawn up some officials. Please look over them." Feng Xiang took out a notebook from his arms. Everyone understands what it means, and of course it cannot be easily spread out, so I did not go to the cabinet, but directly presented it to Si Yan.

Because there was no distance from the main hall, Dou Yu didn't have to go to pick it up, Feng Xiang could just reach out and present the folded paper in front of Si Yan.Si Yan directly took over, and then opened his eyes.

"Prime Minister Feng, these officials must have carefully considered the drafting. But why, why is the position of Zhong Shu Ling unknown?" Si Yan deliberately paused, and mentioned the position of Zhong Shu Ling.

"That day in the court hall, your majesty and the ministers discussed different people, so the ministers did not dare to name them rashly, and asked the holy majesty to make a decision in person." Feng Xiang is now stepping back step by step, showing weakness everywhere, and let Si Yan Some can't catch up.

Si Yan didn't see Wei Chun in the crowd, and looked at the official in charge of the Ministry of Officials: "Did Marquis Wei come today?"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wei is sick." The official immediately stood up and replied.

Hearing Wei Chun complaining about his illness, Cai Shoufu, who was standing beside Feng Xiang, secretly smiled, secretly happy in his heart, isn't this what he wants?As long as Wei Chun is not in the court to support Si Yan, Si Yan can't do anything to them now.

Feng Xiang also took a subtle look at Cai Shoufu. He really didn't expect that the surname Cai would really succeed.

"Who does Prime Minister Feng like to be in charge of the Zhongshu?" Si Yan heard Wei Chun's illness, but didn't see any other expressions, but narrowed the light in his eyes, and glanced at Cai Shoufu lightly.

"I belong to Wang Chun, Minister of the Ministry of War." Feng Xiang mentioned Wang Chun's name.

"Where is Cai Shoufu?" Si Yan asked Cai Shoufu again, thinking that Cai Shoufu and Feng Xiang must have reached some kind of agreement with this matter, and it was a win-win agreement for both parties.

"I also like Wang Chun." Cai Shoufu immediately replied politely.

really!Si Yan sneered when he heard Cai Shoufu's voice.

"I don't care for Wang Chun! I still think Xu Jinnian is more suitable. Feng Xiang and Cai Shoufu are thinking about it!" Si Yan raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.

Feng Xiang immediately raised his head and looked at Si Yan, only to see Si Yan staring at him all the time.Feng Xiang was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and a chill rose from behind.

"Your Majesty, should we not discuss this matter again?" Wang Chun suddenly stood up.

Si Yan turned around and said, "No hurry, this matter is not urgent! Focus on the affairs in Shu County first. After the autumn harvest, the enemy will come to grab food, and the border war will be tight again. Let's focus on these things first."

"Yes!" The ministers responded immediately. It was obviously not a wise move to argue at this time, so everyone shut up tacitly.

After coming down to court, Si Yan immediately returned to Zhaohe Hall.

"Dou Yu, are you going to ask if there's any movement in Lingnan?" Si Yan sat down and supported his forehead, rubbing the center of his brows.

Cai Feng suddenly became harmonious today, obviously a cooperation has been reached, yesterday the Queen Mother just talked about the marriage proposal of the Lingnan Prince's son, today Cai Feng and the two parties are united and there is no longer any dispute.This made Si Yan's heart suddenly uneasy and anxious.

Dou Yu nodded: "Yes!"

Xu Jinnian promised him yesterday that he would win the position of Zhongshu, now it depends on Xu Jinnian's actions.The current Xu Jinnian didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the Xiaochaohui, and there was no one in the Xiaochaohui to speak for him.If it wasn't for Wang Chun's fear and desire to rescue Feng Xiang on the one hand, he wouldn't have spoken out.

Sometimes Si Yan doesn't even know what's the point of sitting on the throne that is more than [-] people. There are still so many people fighting for it from ancient times to the present, and there are still many bones under the throne.

Wei House.

Today, Princess Leyang invited Wei Xian to enjoy the flowers, and invited Wei's mother to watch a play.The two families talked very happily, and Le Yang also liked Wei Xian very much.Princess Leyang made another appointment with the eldest princess of Zhaoning to inform the two families of their intentions, so that the eldest princess could act as a matchmaker and ask for an imperial edict to prove the great honor of the two families.

When Wei's mother came home, she was full of smiles, pulling Wei Xian to talk non-stop.Princess Leyang is easy-going and gentle, and she treats others politely, and there are no other sisters-in-law in the family, so there is no need for so many intrigues in the future.Si Ji is also a close minister in front of the emperor, and he will surely have many honors in the future.For Wei Xian, Princess Leyang is a perfect destination, and Wei's mother is naturally very happy.

"I see that my mother is very happy today, and I am always very satisfied with Siji." Wei Chun knew the time when Wei's mother returned to the house, and had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Wei's mother, he went up to greet her.

"The child came to the Hou's mansion a long time ago, so I've watched him grow up, so I'm naturally satisfied." Mother Wei gave Wei Chun a strange look.

Wei Xian also hid behind Mother Wei and made a face for Wei Chun, then lowered her head and laughed.

Wei Chun raised his hand to hit him, but Wei's mother suddenly looked at him at this time, saw his raised hand, and immediately glared at Wei Chun fiercely, Wei Chun had no choice but to put down his hand.

"Why didn't you go to court today, did something happen?" Mother Wei was supported by Wei Chun and Wei Xian and walked inside.

"Chun'er wanted to rest for a few days, so she asked the officials for leave." Wei Chun narrowed his eyebrows and said softly.

Wei's mother immediately became serious, and asked in a low voice: "Did you offend His Majesty? His Majesty blamed you?"

Wei Chun laughed, and quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, mother, it won't happen. Your Majesty has always been clear about grievances and grievances, and never expressed his anger."

Only then did Mother Wei feel relieved: "That's good, we should be more careful as courtiers."

Wei Xian also comforted her mother: "Don't worry, Ma'am, Your Majesty likes my brother very much, and will not take his anger out on him."

After sending Wei's mother back to the courtyard, Wei Chun went back to the study. He hadn't had time to deal with the news from the imperial army just now, so it was time to go back and deal with it.
