The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official
Chapter 142: Court Affairs (1)
What Gu Ruoxi didn't know was that things were going very well in the court.
In normal court meetings, everyone has something to say, and then one person brings up something, and everyone starts arguing about it.
Because there were many people on this day of the Great Court, there were even more people standing for the party. The entire court was filled with people.
It can be said that every grand court session was spent in noise.
Every time, there was no result.
But today's court is particularly different.
The long-lost Prince Nangong came to court.
Normally, Prince Nangong was just a minor official of the sixth rank, but he was different from others.
The other officials lined up according to their ranks. The first was naturally the civil official, the prime minister, followed by the ministers of several ministries and several marquises, such as the Ningyuan Marquis, who would not come unless it was a grand court.
The military officers were led by the Duke of Qin, with the Minister of War and the Duke of Qin's son, the mighty general, in the middle. However, sometimes when he was guarding the border, he would be in the position of Marquis Changyong.
Nangong Yu's position was originally next to the Prime Minister, standing at the beginning of the row, but it was just a position for him to take orders and run errands.
Don't underestimate this position. Many people want to stand here but cannot. Moreover, the person standing here is Nangong Yu, whom the emperor trusts the most, which makes it even more special.
And now, Nangong Yu was sitting, and his chair was placed under the right side of the dragon table according to the emperor's wishes. It was a little in front of the prime minister, but just a little to the edge.
But it's still eye-catching.
After everyone paid their respects at the morning court today, they looked not at the emperor, but at the prince who was said to be dying but was brought back to life by a happy wedding.
Many people are privately saying that Master Hongyuan said that the prince is a very blessed person.
It is indeed true. The Imperial Hospital said that if a person cannot be saved, God will not let him die.
The emperor would keep an even closer eye on him, thinking that being around someone with great fortune would bring good fortune to him.
And today there is one more person in the court, that is Grand Secretary Xie.
Scholar Xie has been staying in the palace these two days, and many people want to meet him and get his guidance.
But the emperor also wanted it. So, he was kept in the palace these days. It is said that the emperor did not even go to the harem these days except for handling state affairs, and just listened to the lectures of Xie Daxueshi.
Therefore, the first thing to do in today's court session is the emperor's edict.
Xie Daxueshi was appointed as the emperor's tutor and had the power to participate in politics. His main job was to oversee the compilation of the Daliang Code and the Daliang Complete Book.
As for who would assist Grand Secretary Xie in compiling the book, it was decided by Grand Secretary Xie himself. The imperial edict stated that everyone must selflessly provide Grand Secretary Xie with all records related to Daliang as the compilation record, and whoever's works could be selected into the complete book of Daliang would be famous forever.
When this news came out, all the literati were shocked.
Who doesn’t want their manuscript to be selected? Who doesn’t want their drawing to be selected?
On the contrary, Grand Secretary Xie stood behind the Prime Minister with a calm expression, without any fluctuation.
Everyone in the court was thinking about how to curry favor with Grand Secretary Xie in order to gain some insight into their own works.
The emperor also looked at Qin Guogong and said:
"My Lord, this time, Grand Secretary Xie will compile a separate book list together with the military book, so I still need your support on some matters."
The Emperor said so, Duke Qin immediately replied:
"I, your humble servant, accept your order. This is a great event and a blessing for our dynasty. Once this book is published, many young men in the dynasty will have a better future, whether they study or join the army. For such a good thing, I will do my best to support and cooperate. Your Majesty is wise!"
The old Duke never made any mistakes when speaking.
The emperor didn't care whether it was sincere or not, he just smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
After the first thing, the second thing was that Nangong Yu submitted a memorial.
Nangong Yu directly handed it to Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang took it with a smile and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor took the memorial and said with a smile:
"Jinzhi can finally come to court."
As he said this, he looked at Nangong Yu's memorial in front of everyone, but frowned as he read it:
"Jinzhi, do you really want to do this?"
Others didn’t know what the memorial Nangong Yu submitted was, but Nangong Su knew. He glared at his son but couldn’t say a word.
Yesterday his son analyzed some interests with him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Who doesn't want his or her family to be more prosperous? But the consequences of excessive effort are unpredictable.
My son has been with the new emperor for more than ten years and should know him better than I do. If he says no, then it must be no.
Nangong Su is feeling very conflicted right now.
Nangong Yu is very popular now, so the Changyong Marquis Mansion is now at the top.
However, if my son proposed to resign the position of Crown Prince, the Emperor would definitely not give the Marquisate any more honors in the future. Just as my son said, even if there will be any honors in the future, they will be given to my son, and the title will not be conferred based on the military exploits of several generations of Marquis Changyong.
And I am about to become the terminator of the Changyong Marquis Mansion. To my ancestors, I am an unfilial and incompetent person.
Outsiders will look down on you even more.
Lord Nangong felt the emperor's gaze sweeping over him, and he could only lower his eyelids, pretending not to know.
The emperor looked at Nangong Yu again. Nangong Yu was supporting himself with the armrests on both sides of the chair, and his legs became completely powerless as he knelt down with a thud.
This is not called kneeling, it can only be said that he fell off the chair, and the posture is the same as kneeling on the ground.
Everyone could see that his thighs didn't even have the strength to support his upper body while kneeling. It seemed that Prince Nangong was really useless.
Many adults were sighing silently in their hearts.
Among the next generation of the officials in the court, there is Nangong Yu among the literary ones, and Qin Minghao, the son of Duke Qin among the military ones.
And now, Nangong Yu's body is probably useless. According to the law, a person with an incomplete body cannot even attend court in the future.
And there are rumors outside that not only his two legs are disabled, but his third leg is also disabled.
If this happens, the Nangong family will be finished, and the legitimate line will be finished. And the illegitimate one is said to be disabled, although he has not been out recently, but I heard that the arm was cut off by Lord Nangong himself.
Some people were secretly happy, while others were also feeling emotional.
Nangong Yu supported himself on the ground with his hands and kowtowed twice, but was stopped by the eunuch Wang who came over at the emperor's signal:
"Jinzhi, you don't have to be polite. If you have something to say, just say it. From now on, you don't have to be polite to anyone! Including me!"
The ministers were in an uproar. In this court, even an old minister like the Duke of Qin, or a person of special status like the Grand Secretary Xie, did not enjoy the imperial decree that they did not have to perform formalities when meeting anyone.
The emperor said that Xie Daxueshi didn't need to bow to him, but if he met the empress dowager, Xie Daxueshi would still have to bow. But Nangong Yu didn't need to.
Nangong Yu was helped and carried back to the chair by Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang even tidied Nangong Yu's clothes himself. Nangong Yu then clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, what I said in this memorial is from the bottom of my heart, and I have discussed it with my father. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."
