On the fourth day of the winter moon, the day after Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, Yuan Bolang, who was in a very unhappy mood after being dismissed, received an order from the palace and asked him to go to Yaqian Hall to participate in the discussion. Yuan Bolang learned from the little eunuch who was passing the message that the emperor summoned all second-rank and above civil servants in Chang'an City this time. It seemed that there were any important matters to be discussed.

Yuan Bolang hurriedly put on his clothes, braved the heavy snow, and went to the palace in a sedan chair. The snow that started last night fell all night, and it seemed that it was about to fall again.

"Damn ghost weather."

Yuan Bolang came out of the hot kang, shivering in the sedan chair, trembling. While complaining about the ghost weather, he was also wondering what military and national affairs the emperor would discuss when he held such a meeting that was no less than that of a court meeting.

The most difficult thing for the court now is the recall of the army. Of course, Yuan Bolang also knew that this was impossible for the time being. Hua Ji'an was not a fool and would not go back to Chang'an City for no reason to seek death. Even if the emperor did not care about his sending troops without authorization, he would also care about his execution of Min Shaoqing, who was also the commander of the border army, who was not allowed to do so. If this was not the case, it would probably be related to Liu Wenyan, who had just returned to Chang'an City.

The war ended, and it was time to ask for rewards on the merits. The merits of some generals were very easy to evaluate, but there was nothing wrong with asking for rewards on the merits. Only Liu Wenyan and Hua Ji'an were two commanders, but the court could not judge their merits and demerits. But now that Liu Wenyan returned to Chang'an City, this merit had to be evaluated.

"The emperor cherishes it so much, probably because he is worried about this."

Yuan Bolang murmured to himself, and the sedan chair was also stopped at the gate of the palace. He got out of the sedan chair, and a bunch of eunuchs were cleaning the snow at the gate of the palace. However, this was basically futile, because the snow had just finished sweeping, and new snow covered the road. Sweeping like this for a day without any results. Sheng Xue's car had been pushed back and forth many times.

Yuan Bolang was not in a hurry to enter the palace. He stood in the snow and watched at the door of the palace.

"Why didn't Yuan Xiang go in?"

A voice that made Yuan Bolang very annoyed when he heard it came from the back of Yuan Bolang. Li Yannian with a smile on his face. After Liu Wenyan returned to Chang'an City, Li Yannian, who hated Liu Wenyan for snatching his daughter, actually became particularly twitching. Yuan Bolang sneered and glanced at Li Yannian, thinking that he should not hate Liu Wenyan for snatching his daughter, but that Liu Wenyan did not give his daughter a formal title.

"Let's go in first, I will stand here first and calm down with a breath of air." Yuan Bolang said coldly.

Li Yannian laughed, said nothing, and hurriedly walked into the palace in a few steps. Yuan Bolang was also very annoyed. Li Yannian used to be so complimented by him, but now he just said polite words when he met, and he didn't even say goodbye. It's true that the situation is cold and cold.

"A woman who was tutored like this was once trapped in a brothel. At most, the one named Liu was just playing tricks. See how you can stand up if you look back without this back!"

Because the emperor summoned a lot of ministers this time. All the second-rank and above officials in Chang'an City basically cover six ministries and many yamen in the city. There are also many officials with rank but no actual positions who were invited to come, so there were also many people who wanted to enter the palace at the same time. The palace gate was very lively. Yuan Bolang thought about it. The last time he saw the palace gate so lively was when the emperor was alive two years ago, when the civil and military officials came to greet the emperor during the Spring Festival.

In a blink of an eye, it's almost two years.

A lot of things have happened in the past two years, but most of the things are permeated with one name, Liu Wenyan. Two years ago, he didn't know who Liu Wentan was. In the past two years, he has become an overly right prime minister, connecting the past and the future, and asking himself that he deserves the predecessor.

"The late emperor did not choose the wrong emperor, but he just chose the wrong minister!"

Yuan Bolong sighed, and the man walked towards the palace.

From the high position, Yuan Bolang has also thought about a lot of things in the past two days. From the beginning of his resignation to the time he is now dismissed from prefecture, he has not known how many times he has been at the gate of the palace. From the young and energetic discussion with people, to the quarrel with people in the court, he has blushed in gains and losses, many old ministers who were once indispensable to the court, either retired to the countryside or have gone to see the old emperor. Even his former "young sect" has now become a person who has been buried in the ground.

The older a person is, the more things he thinks about.

"Yuan Xiang, why did you come?" As I thought about it, Yuan Bolang arrived at the door of the Yaqian Hall yard and hurried over to welcome him alone. Still as polite as before, Yuan Bolang looked at Zuo Xianglanhe.

Once this identity is different, when he met, Yuan Bolang opened his mouth and didn't know what to call Lan He. In the past, he was always arrogant in front of this left prime minister, but now he is still very polite when he sees him. Is he still as rude as before?

Yuan Bolang just bowed his hand, and he deliberately obscured his name.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's talk to you first, and the emperor wants to discuss something later, don't pay attention to it. This is not convenient to say it clearly."

Yuan Bolang was confused when he heard this. Lan He should have received some news in advance, but because of the "Court Secret", he only expressed his point of view to him. Yuan Bolang nodded. Usually he had a tacit understanding with Lan He on such matters. After all, he once had a right prime minister and the left prime minister, and he said something and gave the court affairs.

When we arrived at Yaqian Hall, it was very lively, and the officials were greeting each other and there was noisy. Maybe the emperor didn’t know how many second-rank officials were in Chang'an City. There were many people coming this time. Yuan Bolang finally squeezed in, but only then found that the new emperor was not there.

No wonder these officials can chat unscrupulously.

Everyone was basically there, and the emperor did not show up. Yuan Bolang was a little puzzled. At this time, Eunuch Wu came to pass on the message on behalf of the emperor, and the discussion was changed to Fengcui Palace.

The group hurried to Fengcui Palace again. When they arrived, the new emperor had already sat down, as if he had been waiting for a while.

The officials greeted each other, and the new emperor didn't say much, and went straight to the main body: "This time I summoned you all my dear friends, and there was something to discuss. You all must have known that Wuyi Marquis has returned to Chang'an City. Wuyi Marquis asked me yesterday, saying... I hope to bring Concubine Lin to the mansion to live in. I wonder... what do you have any opinions?"

All the officials braved the heavy snow to participate in the court meeting. When they heard the words of the new emperor, they looked at each other. Is this the purpose of asking them to discuss matters today?

Who is Concubine Lin? He is an inconspicuous concubine of the late emperor. To be honest, before Liu Wenyan rose, no one noticed that there was such a concubine in the harem, mainly because the late emperor in his later years was too lustful and had too many famous concubines, and they were overwhelmed. It was not until Liu Wenyan rose that people knew that there was a little princess in the palace that had long been "involved" with Liu Wenyan, and the mother of this little princess was Concubine Lin, the current Concubine Lin.

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate." An old minister who didn't know how long he had retired appeared and said earnestly.

Yuan Bolang recognized this person, Yu Shaozhong, the former right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and later worked in the Sixth-Taiwan Yamen for several months. Because of some things, the former emperor was idle and he was always rated and did not do anything.

"Why not?" The late emperor looked at Yu Shaozhong.

Yu Shaozhong was stunned and looked at the ministers next to him. He realized that he had become a leader. This kind of thing is actually nothing to do. Regarding a concubine who wants to move to live with her daughter and son-in-law, although it is not appropriate in terms of etiquette, who is the privileged royal family!

"Concubine Lin is still young, only over thirty years old, and has not yet left her youthful appearance. She is the widow of the late emperor. If she moved to the vanguard General's Mansion like this, wouldn't this... if she did something contrary to morality, wouldn't she be ridiculed by the people of the world?"

Although this is reasonable, no one dares to agree.

Everyone knows that the emperor is kind and his mother died early and was still wandering among the people. Therefore, he is still filial to those "mothers". After the death of the late emperor, not only did he not adopt the tradition of burying his children, but he also allowed the concubines with children to move out to live with his children. Of course, there were not many concubines who enjoyed this kind of welfare. Because among the new emperor's brothers and sisters, the older mothers are generally no longer alive, while the younger ones are underage but less than when they get married. Among the late emperor's concubines, there are only the fourth princess' mother, Concubine Qin.

Everyone knows what kind of person Qin Fei’s son-in-law is, Chai Jin, a famous fool. Such a person is not afraid of anything wrong with his mother-in-law. Because no one raised any objections at the beginning. Now it’s different. The one who wants to move to the vanguard General’s mansion is Lin Fei, while Lin Fei’s son-in-law is Liu Wenyan, who has made great contributions.

Some smart ministers actually understood now that the reason why the emperor wanted to hold such a court meeting was to "seek trouble if you have nothing to do."
