During the meal, Emperor Wanlong withdrew the eyes and ears in the palace and whispered to Li Luo and Li Luo for nearly an hour. Although the servants in the palace knew that Li Luo and Emperor Wanlong were plotting something shocking, they could not guess why.
.
Changming Palace, early morning.
It had been an hour since the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had been in the Changming Palace. Several senior ministers who were getting older were unsteady on their feet. The eunuchs in the palace had brought some round chairs to sit outside the palace and rest for a while.
The eunuch who was in charge came back after running for seven or eight times, with sweat on his head. However, Emperor Wanlong did not say he would withdraw from the court, nor did he come. The ministers had no choice but to wait. Even if they complained, they did not dare to come in front of the court.
False talk.
Prince Chun Li Chengye looked at the sky, frowned slightly, and listened to the whispers of civil servants and generals. He was very impatient. He took a few steps and walked to Eunuch Mi and saluted: "Eunuch Mi."
Mi Cangqiong hurriedly returned the salute and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Brother Emperor will not go to court today?"
"This little person has never heard of it."
"Oh," Li Chengye glanced at Mi Cangqiong in confusion and said, "But which palace is Shang in?"
Mi Cangqiong smiled slightly and said: "That's not the case yet. Your Majesty got up very early today and has just sent instructions to the imperial kitchen to prepare meals."
Seeing Li Chengye's puzzled expression, Mi Cangqiong chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know something. This morning, His Highness Nine Highnesses went to the palace to see the Holy One. The two talked for a long time in the Yangxin Hall, but the Holy Spirit passed the decree and no servants were allowed to disturb him.
, I don’t even know what’s going on.”
"Li Luo?" Li Chengye was surprised and asked quickly.
"It is His Highness Ninth Prince."
Li Chengye frowned, wondering why Li fell into the palace.
Mi Cangqiong bowed respectfully and said nothing.
Li Chengye sighed secretly and had to give up. Mi Cangqiong has been with you for decades, so he naturally knows what should be said and what should not be said. If it cannot be said, even if he continues to ask, it will be fruitless. He can only sigh.
He bowed and left angrily.
In the past, if Emperor Wanlong did not want to govern, he would send someone to inform him, but this is rarely the case today.
After another half an hour, the generals were doing better, and the civil servants were all on the verge of collapse. Mi Cangqiong had no choice but to go to the Yangxin Hall in person to report to Emperor Wanlong about everything.
Hearing the sound of Mi Cangqiong's invitation to play outside the palace, Emperor Wanlong turned his head and glanced outside the palace, and shouted impatiently: "I have something important to discuss with you. They can't bear to wait for a moment."
Li Luo and Yan said: "Uncle, please don't miss the morning meeting. The Xuanlou is tired and you have to wait for a long time, so you should be punished." After saying that, he stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, Xuanlou will go first."
Emperor Wanlong suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hands and said: "If there are more people like Xuanlou who can help me solve my problems, I don't have to worry about state affairs. Okay, you can go ahead. I want to see these people."
Something else is going to happen."
Li Luo smiled, bowed and was about to leave the palace, when Emperor Wanlong suddenly called out: "Xuan Lou."
Li Luo stopped and turned to look at Emperor Wanlong. Emperor Wanlong's eyes flashed with color and he said in a deep voice: "I have failed you."
Li Luo smiled faintly, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Even though people in the world have failed Xuanlou, the Holy One has never failed me. I only hope that Xuanlou will live up to His kindness."
Emperor Wanlong raised his hand and said: "Go ahead. I will resist everything in the court. Just be arrogant and arrogant and let the world see the arrogance of a son of the Li family."
Li Luo smiled warmly and left the palace.
Shortly after Li Luo left the palace, the Dagan court was shocked. After Emperor Wanlong came to court, he did not approve the memorial. Instead, he passed three decrees in succession, granting Li Luo the title of King of Heaven, the title of General of Hussars, and the reward and exemption of death penalty.
General Di Jie was promoted to Grand Master, and two new departments of inspection, supervision and law were established in addition to the nine departments, and a government office was established on a certain date.
Before all the officials came to their senses, Emperor Wanlong made a stroke of his pen, sealed the decree, and announced it to the world. The civil and military officials in the court were left dumbfounded, trying to argue and speechless, and by the time Emperor Wanlong had disappeared, he had disappeared.
Zongbo Mansion.
Yang Wanli looked at the invitation card in his hand and was lost in thought. Mrs. Liu added a cup of new tea, glanced at the invitation card in Yang Wanli's hand, and asked softly: "Husband, why are you so upset?"
Yang Wanli handed the greeting card in his hand to Mrs. Liu, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and sighed: "I don't know how upset I am, but I can't figure out the meaning of this greeting card."
"Oh?" Ms. Liu took the greeting card and read softly, "Foolish Li Luocheng, the elder Yang, is helping me. There are ten thousand people, and it is difficult to do less than one hundred. However, my nephew is slacking off and seldom greeting me. This is rude, especially
I sincerely will hold a small banquet with Suyu Xiaozhu in the east of the city at noon today to express my sincerity. Li Luo pays my respects."
After reading, Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, "His Ninth Prince is very polite."
Yang Wanli sighed and said, "Madam, you don't know something. This banquet is definitely not a good one."
"Hey, what do you mean, husband?"
"The morning before yesterday, the civil and military officials waited in Changming Palace for more than an hour. After the emperor came to the palace, he did not approve a single memorial, but announced three decrees in succession. The ninth prince Li Luo was granted the title of Dingtian King and the Cavalry General.
Mr. Di Jiedi was appointed as Grand Master, and in addition to the nine divisions of the Imperial Court, two divisions of inspection, supervision and law were added. Hey, tell me, there is no good banquet in Zhuo City at this time."
Seeing the embarrassment on Yang Wanli's face, Ms. Liu comforted her and said, "Since my husband doesn't want to go, he can just make excuses not to go. In my opinion, General Li is not a narrow-minded person, and he shouldn't be stirring up trouble behind his back."
Yang Wanli smiled bitterly and said: "That would be so easy. Regardless of other things, King Dingtian just talked secretly with the emperor for an hour before the court and decided on the position of grand master that has been vacant for many years. No wonder there are rumors in Zhuocheng
Although King Dingtian was not the choice of the crown prince, he had the ability to depose and establish the crown prince.
According to the situation of the day before yesterday, even if you miss it, you are not far away. In fact, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. I invite you so humbly, madam, can I not go?"
Mrs. Liu smiled faintly and said: "Why not? If General Li uses his power to threaten my husband, what can he do if he doesn't go? There are still national laws in Dagan, and my husband is also one of the nine dignitaries. Is it possible that he will still use force?"
Yang Wanli replied in surprise: "Madam, where are you thinking? General Li is humble and courteous in his dealings with others. After he was crowned, he has never heard of General Li using his power to bully others.
Since my husband took charge of the Privy Council, I have been very helpful to General Li. Although I have no personal relationship, I have been sympathetic to each other in the past few years. When I met my husband in the past, General Li was extremely polite and courteous, which was even better than others."
"Oh, really." Mrs. Liu responded coldly.
"Madam, you are still brooding about what happened a few years ago. Forget it, it's been so long, madam, don't take it to heart."
Mrs. Liu glared at Yang Wanli and did not answer.
Yang Wanli laughed, then suddenly looked worried again, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, several colleagues speculated on the Holy Will, but now the Emperor's intention is obvious, but such a vigorous and resolute move reminds people of the time when Zhuocheng was quelled by chaos.
Comparing the two, they are so similar. Hey, madam, do you think I should go or not?" (To be continued.)
