Chapter 1096 The Battle of the Court
"Sister Xiao, I'm not full yet."
On the carriage heading to Taixue Palace, Nan'er pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"Almost late."
Xiao Xiao said sheepishly, "I have no experience the first time, so I got up a little late. Next time, I will definitely get up earlier next time."
It’s so hard to raise children!
Brother Li is so busy every day, but he still has the energy to take care of his children. It's really amazing.
On the side, Yu Qingxuan sat there quietly, not knowing what to say.
"Sister Qingxuan."
Xiao Xiao noticed the mood of the woman next to him and said with a smile, "I'm not familiar with the road to Taixue Palace. I'll have to have Sister Qingxuan lead the way later."
"It should."
Yu Qingxuan responded softly.
While the two were talking, the carriage stopped in front of Taixue Palace.
Xiao Xiao, Yu Qingxuan, and Nan'er got off the carriage. Three beauties, two young and one young, suddenly became a beautiful sight.
In the Taixue Palace, many Taixue students saw the three of them and glanced at them a few more times unconsciously.
However, no one dares to make mistakes.
Today, many people already know that the Commoner King sends a little girl about ten years old to Taixue Palace every day.
This also caused the students of Taixue Palace, no matter whether they knew the Commoner King or not, as soon as they encountered a little girl of about ten years old, they would quickly get out of their way.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the title of king in cloth are not based on the shadow of the ancestors, but are piled up based on military exploits, and they are also forcibly killed on the battlefield.
Most of the students in Taixue Palace were weak scholars. Who would dare to provoke a great Shang and Wu king like Li Ziye, whose hands were stained with blood?
In the Taixue Palace, under the leadership of Yu Qingxuan, the three of them came to the small courtyard in the southeast.
"Sister Qingxuan, please send Nan'er in."
Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Xiao stopped and followed Li Ziye's instructions, not getting too close to the small courtyard. He looked at the two people on the side and said.
"good."
Yu Qingxuan looked startled when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions. He responded softly and immediately led Nan'er towards the small courtyard ahead.
In the courtyard, on the swing, Lu Baimei looked at the two people who walked in, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she realized something, and looked outside.
Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Xiao felt the powerful aura coming from the small courtyard in front of him, his expression condensed, and he stood there, not daring to act rashly.
"Girl, come in!"
In the courtyard, Lu Baimei opened her mouth and said.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Xiao heard the sound coming from the courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Xiao walked in, looked at the woman on the swing, bowed respectfully, and said, "I have seen Senior Baimei."
On the swing, Lu Baimei stared at the girl in front of her. After a moment, she asked, "Who are you, Xiao Yiren?"
"It's my mother." Xiao Xiao responded truthfully.
When Lu Baimei heard this, she flashed past and grabbed the girl in front of her.
Xiao Xiao felt something, his expression changed slightly, he raised his hand to condense his energy, and the spiritual energy from the surrounding world surged in, turning into a barrier in front of him.
"Bang!"
Lu Baimei came over, waved his hand to disperse the zhenqi barrier in front of the girl in front of him, and pointed at her fifth divine treasure.
In an instant, boundless true energy poured in and poured into his fifth divine treasure.
After ten breaths, Lu Baimei stopped her hand, her figure flashed past, and she returned to the swing.
Xiao Xiao recovered from the shock and felt the surging true energy in the fifth divine treasure, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Go back and tell your mother that I have repaid the favor!"
On the swing, Lu Baimei spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Senior Baimei knows my mother?"
Xiao Xiao suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked in confusion.
"It's old business, let's go back."
Lu Baimei waved her hand, chased the person away, and said.
"Thank you, Senior Baimei. I will take my leave, junior!"
Xiao Xiao responded, then turned and left.
Just when Xiao Xiao and Yu Qingxuan sent Nan'er to Taixue Palace.
Fierce quarrels broke out in Dashang Palace and Shou'an Palace, and Li Ziye's suggestion caused everyone on Hai Qinggong's side to erupt.
Led by Duke Hai Qing, more than a dozen ministers came out one after another and began to criticize Li Ziye, throwing dirty words like nepotism and bribery.
In the court, the other courtiers looked at each other. No one was in a hurry to express their opinions and watched the show quietly.
In front of the ministers, the eleventh prince Mu Qing looked at Duke Hai Qing and others who were jumping over the wall with a look of ridicule on his face, but he didn't say anything.
In the middle of the main hall, Li Zi looked at his nose and heart at night and pretended not to hear anything.
What a bunch of idiots!
I'm really afraid of dying too slowly.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Shang looked at the dozen or so ministers below, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
This Duke Hai Qing really has many disciples!
"His Majesty."
Li Ziye took out a memorial from his sleeve and said respectfully, "This is Xu Hanlin's political achievements in the past twelve years. I believe that Xu Hanlin is qualified for the position of Jingmu regardless of his ability or qualifications."
Beside the dragon chair, the chamberlain saw this and immediately stepped forward, took the memorial, then turned around and walked back, handing it to His Majesty in front of him.
When Emperor Shang saw the memorial, his eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at King Yunyi below in front of the ministers and said, "King Yunyi, what's going on? Why has Xu Hanlin never been promoted with such outstanding political achievements and abilities?"
"I was negligent."
King Yunyi walked out and said respectfully, "I have just noticed Xu Wailing recently and want to promote him, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity."
Having said this, King Yunyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Wailang is very capable and more than qualified for the position of Jingmu. I also propose that Xu Wailang be promoted to the position of Jingmu as an exception."
"Exception?"
In front of more than a dozen ministers, Hai Qinggong suppressed his anger and said, "The imperial court has strict procedures for promoting ministers. How can you just break the rules?"
"Why can't we break the rules?"
In the middle of the hall, Li Ziye turned around, looked at Duke Hai Qing aside, and said calmly, "Didn't this king break the rules when he was granted the title of Marquis? Why didn't Duke Hai Qing express any objection?"
When Duke Hai Qing heard this, his face darkened, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"The reason is simple."
At this moment, Zhang Qizheng walked out among the ministers and said calmly, "King Buyi was appreciated by King Kaixuan and King Rakshasa as soon as he entered the court, but Xu Wailang has not been promoted for twelve years. He obviously has no backing.
How can you compare with the Commoner King?"
After Zhang Qizheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Everyone knows these words, but no one dares to say them.
This is tantamount to exposing the dark side of Dashan officialdom to the bright side.
Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Shang didn't look very good after hearing the words of the old minister below.
This old guy really dares to say anything.
In the middle of the main hall, after Li Ziye saw Zhang Qizheng's statement, he turned around and bowed politely, saying, "Master Zhang, I am ashamed."
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Qizheng looked at the Shang Emperor on the dragon throne and said in a deep voice, "If you can be appreciated by King Wu, you can be directly granted the title of marquis. Without a backer, you can't even be promoted to the position of Jingmu. What is the truth? Since there is a precedent, so what?
It can be said to be exceptional!”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qizheng knelt down and said categorically, "If Xu Wailang cannot be promoted to Jingmu because he cannot break the rules, then the old minister suggests that the position of King Wu be abolished by King Buyi, because King Buyi was also unfair when he was granted the title of Marquis.
It complies with the imperial court’s rules for promoting ministers!”
Ahead, Li Ziye was dumbfounded and broke into a cold sweat when he heard Zhang Qizheng's words.
Chapter completed!
