Chapter 46 Upward

............

It's still gray outside. When ordinary people's homes are still sleeping, Min Wen has already put on his morning clothes and is ready to take a sedan chair. Sitting in the sedan chair, holding the medal that rushed out last night in his hand, Min Wen exhaled heavily and closed his eyes. Before he arrived at the court, he could take a nap. He only slept for an hour last night.

When I got off the sedan chair, I saw many officials walking slowly into the hall. Everyone's face was the same expression, and they looked solemn. I don't know whether it was because they didn't wake up or for other reasons. It's just that today's emperor is diligent and never abandoned the government, but the month when the queen died, she was very uncomfortable because of her mental strength. There was a delay, but the major events reported by the minister were still reported by the relevant ministers in person, and it was also a blessing for the emperor to do this.

Soon, the civil and military officials lined up to wait for the holy driver according to their respective grades. It was forbidden to make noise and dress in the court, so these senior officials all showed a rigorous attitude.

"The Holy One is coming--" An old eunuch shouted in a shrill voice. The people in the whole hall knelt down in an instant and said in unison, "Congratulations on the health of the emperor's holy body and long live long live the emperor--"

This is the first time in the morning after the emperor's illness. Of course, the civil and military officials are strong, and presumably the matter that has been accumulated for a month will also be solved.

On the court, the emperor's gorgeous clothes, his face was majestic, and his dragon beard was also white. He was wearing a dragon robe with a pair of beautiful dragon boots on his feet. He sat on the throne of Daluan and looked majestically at the officials kneeling under the stage. The emperor sat north and south, and the other courtiers lined up neatly below.

The hall is very quiet. After the officials knelt down, they no longer move. Only when the emperor speaks can they get up. I'm afraid such a solemn occasion can only be seen under such a social system in ancient times. The emperor is the son of heaven and has supreme rights. Anyone should be absolutely convinced.

"Fing-" Although the emperor's voice is about to recover from a serious illness, it sounds very shocking. It is indeed the voice of the Son of Heaven. Everyone consciously divided into two teams. Dearqing, the queen left me a month ago. I felt very sad and felt that my physical strength was not as good as before... Cough..." Halfway, the emperor said, he punched his hand and coughed. The eunuch beside him quickly brought Fang Pa and handed it to the emperor. After the emperor calmed down a little, he put it into the brocade box next to him.

The ministers looked at the emperor's series of actions. There was no other way but to respectfully wait for the emperor to speak again. The emperor also continued to say what he had just finished. "It's all thanks to you to help me govern the country in order to have a prosperous life and the people can live a good life."

"It is the emperor who works hard and loves the people, and the emperor is the blessing of all the people. The most urgent thing is to take care of the dragon body." An old man with a white beard bowed slightly and said.

"Master Pang, I will take good care of my body. With you loyal sages, I will save a lot of trouble. After listening to the hadith, Pang Taishi bowed back to his line.

"Return to the Holy Land, the foreign barbarians of Gulan Island have invaded. Jie'er has led troops outside, and the good news has come. The king of Gulan Island has led his troops back to return to China and has decided to sincerely serve our dynasty. He will send messengers to ask for peace next month." A well-looking and dignified minister came forward.

"Haha..." The emperor was very happy and stroked his beard, "Your Highness is really powerful and worthy of being a descendant of the Li family. The third emperor's brother, you are still good at teaching your son. Pass on my advice and reward ten thousand taels of gold!"

The people in the court sighed. It seems that the emperor still valued His Royal Highness Mu Jie very much. This time, he also made great contributions to suppress the barbarians of Gulan Island and established prestige for the future accession to the throne. Everyone cast envious and respectful glances at the third emperor.

Minwen is the only one, frowning deeply, as if there is something annoying to say.

"Now there is no need to worry about the outside and no trouble inside. The emperor is really wise." A voice sounded in real time. When he really sang a hymn, the timing of this man was really accurate. Min Wen looked up and saw that it was really Lord Zhang, the servant of the Ministry of Household. Thinking that what he was holding in his hand was his notebook, he couldn't help but tighten his heart. The situation is that the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness and caught up with the battle of Mu Jie Daping Gulan Island. Isn't it the emperor's intention to put forward now?

"Dear ministers, is there anything else to do?" At this moment, the extremely happy emperor smiled and asked the ministers under the hall. The ministers had no intention of playing. Anyway, today's limelight was taken away by the third princes. It was insignificant to say something good. When he said something disappointing, he was afraid that the emperor would be in a hurry to attack, and he was silent.

"Retired from the court--" shouted, and the emperor drove back to the palace, and the crowd began to disperse and fish out.

"Congratulations, Grand Master, His Royal Highness Mu Jie is both civil and martial arts, and there must be a success in the future..." All the officials came forward to congratulate, which made the Third Emperor smile and saluted with his fists. "It's still all up to depend on everyone. With the help of all adults, there is a chance for dogs to show their talents."

"You're welcome..."

Unlike the stars on the side of the third emperor, there are only a few officials on Min Wen's side. Among them, Yun Fan is also among them, but he likes to doze off and stand in an inconspicuous position in the crowd, so everyone didn't notice him just now.

"Min Wen, do you think our third uncle is too happy? Now he doesn't pay more attention to our nephews."

"Yunfan, don't say that." Min Wen lowered his voice and whispered in Yun Fan's ear.

"Ah--" Yun Fan stretched out and said indifferently, "If he misses his uncle and nephew, how can he let his precious son rob your sweetheart?"

Hearing this, Min Wen's face became heavier and he didn't say a word.

"The university scholar of Lin Diange is here, your unfated father-in-law--" Yun Fan still didn't seem to have the intention to stop, pointing to the old man not far away and said.

The old man came forward and said, "The fourth prince is early. The Fifth Highness is also here. I was clumsy just now and didn't see it.

Min Wen is also slightly respectful, "Lord Lin." The university scholar of Diange saw that Minwen was so respectful and polite, and his future son-in-law Mu Jie was so invincible. In contrast, he was somewhat shaken whether his decision to persuade his daughter to leave Min Wen was correct, but Lin University scholar always believed that Lin Danyi, the pearl in his palm, regardless of appearance, talent and self-restraint, was the queen. Thinking of this, Mu Jie, who is in a good situation, has a better chance of winning than Min Wen, so he no longer hesitates.

Yun Fan looked at this scene and felt a little ironic. Obviously, the two people who already had grudges wanted to pretend to greet and didn't want to stay here, so he left first. When Min Wen saw that Yun Fan was about to leave, he hurriedly said goodbye.

............

"Your Majesty, take a break." The minister advised him and couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that the emperor rushed to the imperial study to review the stranded memorial as soon as he went down.

"Little Wanzi, I don't know how long my body can support it. If I can do something, I can do something. If I die in the future, I will have an explanation for the emperor's efforts to make me the crown prince. You have been with me for so many years, and you should also know what I mean.

Gonggong took a cup of tea and replied, "How can I not know the emperor's painstaking efforts to worry about the country and the people? It's just that a saint like you has never been seen since ancient times. If your dragon is healthy, wouldn't it be the well-being of the world?"

"Who can be an emperor for a lifetime? They all say that they are happy to be emperors, but I have done a hard job. Now that the queen dies, there is nothing to remember. The throne is just a hot potato for me. I can't wait to take off this right to be a happy ordinary person, but I dare not forget the teachings of the death of the previous emperor. . Unfortunately, I have been childless, and the position of crown prince has been vacant. I used to have a glimmer of hope, but... Alas, it is not easy to be a crown prince among the four princes, Mu Jie and Yunfan.

"Is there a determination in the emperor's heart?"

"Yun Fan looks as wild as the fifth emperor's brother, but he is different from the fifth emperor's brother. Although he doesn't do any business in his daily life, it's just an illusion that he pretends to show to the world. I think he is iron-boned and soft-hearted. If he really became an emperor, he will also be a benevolent king, but he doesn't want to be here."

"I heard that the government and opposition are very loud to His Royal Highness Mu Jie." Grandpa Wan said.

"This is also what I'm worried about. Mu Jie and the younger brother of the three emperors must have been secretly cultivating party members and expanding their power. In the past, the previous emperor made me a reserve. He was indeed unwilling, and I would not be much better than him in terms of talent. Fortunately, I have not deliberately made trouble since I ascended the throne, but Mu Jie is arrogant and slightly cruel. He is indeed a well-deserved general in the war, but If the governance of the country is so strict, it is not a blessing for the people.

"How about King Jing?"

"King Jing's father and I are very close. If it hadn't been for his father's support, the third emperor's brother would not have submitted to me, but the fourth emperor's brother had died for two or three years, and the ministers who were close to him in the court also defected to others. If he were alive, I would have passed on the throne to him. With him to supervise the country, I am also relieved. It's just that Min Wen's nature is too indisputable. I'm afraid that I can't shock Mu Jie at that time... It's really embarrassing."

"The emperor's establishment of a crown prince is a major event in the country. Don't be in a hurry for a while. The emperor'd better take care of his health and think about it. He will discuss it carefully with the ministers of the court later."

"Ye�. That's the only way."

Since the two young masters were injured, Zhou Xiaoqing's life has been difficult. At this moment, the old lady's extremely unhappy face still comes to her mind. Zhou Xiaoqing did not dare to be lazy. She ran to the Chaohua Hall where Min Wen lived early to wait. Unexpectedly, she went out to court early in the morning. Zhou Xiaoqing sat on the stone steps in front of the door in a daze, looking at the sky in the distance, "How can it be so boring?"
