Chapter 4 Finding fault

In the morning, it was still dark, and Beichen Yeli called the maid to wash and change clothes for him.

The eunuch maids guarding the door were shocked. They couldn't figure out why they didn't see the emperor overnight, and the emperor's illness had recovered. However, the first rule of survival in this palace is that they can't have so much curiosity and can't speculate on the master's intentions at will, and the eunuchs who can serve Beichen Yeli in Ganquan Palace have undergone strict selection. At this moment, even if they have doubts in their hearts, they immediately kill this idea by themselves.

The maids served Beichen Yeli in a bright yellow dragon robe representing imperial power and crowned him.

Taking advantage of the faint morning light, Beichen Yeli sat on the dragon chave and was carried by the eunuchs and walked towards the Jinluan Hall.

It has arrived at the time of the imperial court. Although the emperor has been claiming that he has been ill and unable to go to the early morning these days, the ministers still dare not slack off. They come here early and wait for the emperor to announce his withdrawal from the dynasty before they dare to leave.

Today, everyone thought it was about the same as yesterday. They only needed to go back. After all, the emperor was still in his arms. Unexpectedly, I went to see Beichen Yeli sitting on the dragon's carri in a dragon robe and coming up in the morning.

Although I was very confused that the emperor had been ill for more than ten days, I don't know why he agreed today. Although there were doubts in their hearts, everyone did not dare to neglect it and immediately cheered up to prepare for the court.

Everyone stood in their respective positions step by step, hanging their heads, waiting for Beichen to leave at night.

Beichen Yeli walked slowly to the high platform of the hall and sat down on the dragon chair, which was inlaid with gold-carved gems and jade, representing the supreme power of Dayu.

In the hall under the steps, a group of ministers immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

"All the officials are in peace." Beichen Yeli glanced slightly, and the ministers kneeling in the hall said loudly.

Hearing Beichen Yeli's words, the ministers got up and listened respectfully to the holy order.

"Dear gentlemen, I was slightly sick a few days ago and couldn't make it early in the morning, and many things have dragged on to today." With that, Beichen Yeli glanced at the vacant positions of the ministers, and then continued quietly, "So, right prime minister, why don't you come to tell me that all your families have come to the court on time according to the ancestral system these days?"

"To report to the emperor, Wang Yuanqi, the servant of the official department, and Li Jin, the general of Dingyuan, have recently come to the morning." The right prime minister, Guan Yun, took a step forward and reported to Beichen Yeli.

Shangguan Yun was about 60 years old, with gray hair, long beard hanging on his chest, and a thin face. He looked quite immortal and Taoist bones, but his eyes were not as ordinary old. After 60 years old, his eyes were bright. He was already the elder of the three dynasties of the Great Yu Dynasty and was very prestigious in the court.

Before Beichenye ascended the throne, he was the head of the faction that strongly supported the prince's succession to the throne. However, the prince was unmoral and had an affair with the former emperor's favorite concubine, was demoted to a commoner, and then was assassinated in his own house.

Shangguan Yun then became neutral and no longer supported any princes. He kept himself until he left the throne on the night of Beichen.

"Oh." Beichen Yeli asked faintly, "Are you two Aiqing, just like me a few days ago, in good health?"

"I returned to the emperor, but I don't know." Shangguan Yun arched his hand and said, "But when I saw that Wang Yuanqi and Li Jin were young and strong, it was in those years. I'm afraid they would not be sick if they didn't come to the early morning."

"If it weren't for the health, the two lovers would not come to the morning, I'm afraid it would be courteous." Beichen Yeli said lightly.

"I also thought it was inappropriate." Shangguan Yun said, "I would like to ask the emperor to punish these two people!"

"The left prime minister," Beichen Yeli looked at Wang Bo, who was silent, but with a cold light in his eyes, said, "Aiqing thinks I should deal with this matter?"

Wang Bo, the left prime minister, also took a step forward and stood in front of the civil and military officials compared with the right. He said, "The ministers and sons are not strict. I beg the emperor to punish them."

Wang Bo, the right prime minister, is about 40 years old. He is a man with a beard, a square face, a tiger's eyes, and a noble spirit. He comes forward to plead guilty, but his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, as if he has a bamboo in his heart for everything.

In those years, it was the officials of the Wang family he led and the major family valves to support Bei Chenye's succession to the throne. Bei Chenye was able to stand out from the princes and get the throne after the death of the emperor.

The two ministers mentioned in Shangguan Yunkou just now, Wang Qiyuan and Li Jin, one is Wang Bo's third son and the other is his son-in-law. Both of them are new generation officials of the Wang family in the dynasty.

At this moment, the two were caught by the hostile right-wing superior Guan Yun at the same time. He did not come to the early morning according to the ancestral system, but he was disrespectful to the emperor. Even if he was the left prime minister and wanted to excuse the two, he was afraid that he was unable to convince people with reason.

There was a sudden hatred in his heart. Beichen Yeli's illness was strange, and it was even more strange. I'm afraid he was not sick at all. He was waiting for this opportunity to take the opportunity to suppress the factions in the court.

Now Beichen Yeli asked him how to deal with it. In the eyes of others, it may be a step for him. In fact, only he knows that Beichen Yeli is just putting pressure on him to abandon his car to protect the commander. Now, he can only try his best to exorde them.

It's only to blame his disappointing son and son-in-law that he really fell into the confusing scheme of Beichen Yeli and was bold enough to violate the ancestral system! Do such a ridiculous thing!

Wang Bo was so hateful that he almost bit his teeth.

Beichen Yeli looked at Wang Bo, who looked calm, but had a dark hatred in his eyes. He continued to say casually, "Left is serious. Although it is the son's father's failure, now you and his officials in the same dynasty are all my ministers. I think it's better to deal with this matter according to the law. Right phase, how to deal with it according to the law?

"I will return to the emperor, according to the law of our Great Yu Kingdom, if this crime is light, he will be dismissed, and if it is serious, he will be executed." Shangguan Yun said with his hand.

When Wang Bo heard this, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"The beheading is too serious. Wang Xiang is also a relative of the emperor's country. He and I are still connected to break the bones. I think this matter should be dealt with lightly. Wang Qiyuan and Li Jin are removed from their official positions and go home to reflect on it." Beichen Yeli said.

"Thank you, Emperor!" When Wang Bo heard the words, he immediately knelt down to Beichen Yeli to thank him.

Although this "en" was so grateful that he secretly hated it, his own people took the initiative to fall into the trap of Beichen Yeli, and he could only admit his bad luck.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers also immediately shouted that the emperor was wise and knelt down and kowtowed to Beichen Yeli.

"What else do you have?" Beichen Yeli continued to ask.

In the hall, the ministers immediately reported to Beichen Yeli the affairs that needed to be decided by the emperor himself.

Beichenye listened quietly. Soon, at the end of this early morning, the factions focused their debate on who should be promoted to the two vacant official positions.

Beichen Yeli coldly watched the ministers fighting in the court, and his heart was clear. He just wanted to watch them fight with them. Only in this way can they show their feet and let him catch them.

But Beichenyeli only let the parties argue endlessly, but did not make any decision. Until the end of the morning, the matter was still fruitless.

===================================================================

In the harem, Wang Zhaoyi got up early in the morning and heard the maid report that she had recovered from the emperor's illness. She went to the morning this morning.

She was suddenly surprised and happy. She hurriedly asked the maid of honor to dress her up, and rushed to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace with a group of eunuchs.

"Auntie!" Wang Zhaoyi rushed into the Empress Dowager's bedroom while shouting the Empress Dowager.

"The Empress is auspicious."

"Hang Sis."

As soon as the palace eunuchs saw that the Empress Dowager's closest nephew, Queen Zhaoyi, came, they hurriedly saluted her.

Wang Zhaoyi did not pay attention to these palace eunuchs, but just rushed into the inner hall of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was asking the maid to comb her hair.

Wang Zhaoyi's shout made the maid's hand trembled and removed a few hairs on the Empress Dowager's head.

The maid was so shocked that she immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The Empress Dowager took a faint look at the maid and said to the close eunuch beside her as usual, "Pick out and beat her to death."

The eunuchs immediately took the order, untied the maid's belt and stuffed her mouth, dragging her out of Cining Palace.

At this time, Wang Zhaoyi had rushed into the inner room of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"Auntie, have you heard about it? The emperor has recovered from his illness, and he went to the morning early this morning!" Wang Zhaoyi said to the Empress Dowager in surprise.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and scolded softly: "You are at least a Zhaoyi now. Anyway, she is the highest-grade woman in the harem now. How can she shout like a woman looking for the market!" It's really a loss of royal prestige!"

"Auntie, it's only in front of you. Are there any outsiders here?" Wang Zhaoyi walked to the Empress Dowager's dressing table, and immediately a maid sent a soft stool. Wang Zhaoyi sat down, took the Empress Dowager's arm and said disapprovingly. At this moment, she is still immersed in the joy of recovering from Beichen Night.

"Whether you are in front of people or behind people, you should be careful in your words and deeds in the future." The Empress Dowager said earnestly, "In those years, you didn't listen to the advice of the mourning family and went to the emperor's bedroom without permission. As a result, your identity was obviously enough to make a noble concubine and queen, but it was because of the stain in those years that now only relied on your father's brother and the mourning family to put pressure on the emperor in every way, and the emperor sealed you a Zhaoyi. Haven't you had a long memory after this?"

"Aunt, Yu'er knew it was wrong. Yuer must remember your teachings in the future. Wang Zhaoyi remembered the stupid things she had done in those years and was also regretful. If I hadn't been too anxious, I just wanted to get the emperor's favor earlier, so that I could take advantage of the emptiness of the emperor's harem to grab the emperor's favor and become the hostess in the harem. Unexpectedly, stealing chickens does not eat rice, resulting in today's embarrassing situation.
