Chapter 396 The situation is not good
"You are still too reserved." Xiao Yu smiled, and said again: "You are Huanzhi's disciple, and Huanzhi was picked up by me. In other words, many people outside will say that you, Chu Xian, are my Xiao People in Yu’s family, although the Holy Dynasty is most opposed to factions, which is the root of troubled times, but sometimes, it does not mean that there are no factions, at least in the consciousness of others, there are factions. So, why do you have to be cautious? Speaking of which, I am very optimistic about you, even more than I was optimistic about Huanzhi at the beginning."

Xiao Yu's words were highly appraised. If these words were spread, many people would be shocked.

Even Cui Huanzhi was stunned when he heard it. Who is Xiao Yu?That was the Order of the Holy Dynasty, the Taoist Immortal of the Shoufu Pavilion. If he used this kind of words to praise a person, it meant that this person fell into Xiao Yu's eyes. In other words, Xiao Yu would promote this person.

This is something that many people dream of, and Cui Huanzhi was also happy for Chu Xian, but he was afraid that Chu Xian would be too complacent, so he just took a look at it, and Cui Huanzhi felt relieved.

Chu Xian just bowed to thank him, with a peaceful expression, neither indifferent nor forgetful.

This is already the best performance.

Next, Xiao Yu asked Chu Xian about some affairs of the Criminal Division. Although the matters within the Criminal Division were not under Xiao Yu's jurisdiction, many things, the position of Zhongshu, could intervene.

Xiao Yu's question also meant to test Chu Xian. As the chief officer of the Criminal Prosecution Division, if he couldn't explain clearly the affairs in the division, he would be incompetent in himself.Fortunately, Chu Xian already knew the punishment department very well, so he opened his mouth to say it at this moment, and it was from the punishment department, to the selection of the promotion officials, and finally to the criminal law system of the entire holy dynasty. Not to mention, Chu Xian was a man in two lifetimes, with his unique insights, Cui Huanzhi nodded his head repeatedly, and Xiao Yuzhongshu even had a look of approval in his eyes.

"Okay, Chu Xian, you have only been in the Criminal Division for a few months, and it's really rare to have such insights. It shows that you really put your heart into doing things." Xiao Yu praised again.

Chu Xian was still neither arrogant nor arrogant, with an open-minded look on his face.

At this time, the person Xiao Yu sent out to investigate the news came back. This person Chu Xian had noticed a long time ago that the other party was at least at the level of a martial arts master, but he was dressed as a servant and was quite low-key. , there are many similar masters.

This person is obviously a person who handles affairs, and he will not say irrelevant words. He came in to salute, and then said: "Reporting to my lord, the matter of intermarrying with the Wu clan and increasing intimacy was promoted by Lord Yang Zhenqing and Da Situ. As for the list , It is determined by the Ministry of Rites, and the officials are no more than five ranks, and they are all determined by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no need to go through the Shoufu Pavilion."

Xiao Yu nodded, knowing where the problem was.

"Go and invite Lord Wang to come." Xiao Yu ordered, and his subordinates went to work immediately.

Obviously, both Cui Huanzhi and Chu Xian knew that Mr. Wang was the Minister of Rites of the Holy Dynasty.

After a while, the Minister of Rites arrived, but in the front hall, Xiao Yu got up to meet, leaving Cui Huanzhi and Chu Xian behind.

Seeing Chu Xian's serious expression, Cui Huanzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter, since Master Zhongshu has intervened, the matter of making peace with the Wu clan will not fall on you."

Chu Xian nodded. He came to Cui Huanzhi to ask Xiao Yu to intervene in this matter.

The two waited for a while, and Xiao Yu came back. It can be seen that his expression was a little dignified. Looking at this expression, Chu Xian's scalp was numb, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu said: "I asked the Minister of Rites about this matter, and he said that the list was indeed reviewed by him, but the names in it were all arranged by the people below. Because of the large number of people, he did not have any special Pay attention to Chu Xian. Originally, for such a trivial matter, it would be good to remove Chu Xian's name from the marriage list, but the trouble is that the Thirteen Witch Ancestors have already opened their mouths, saying that they are the daughter of a prince of the Witch Clan. Chu Xian, named by name, said that Chu Xian would not marry, because the thirteen witch ancestors were the first to speak, this matter is a bit difficult."

Chu Xian knew it would be like this, Yang Ke had planned everything, he must be ahead of everything, he must have calculated that he would come to Xiao Yu for relief, so he made plans in advance.Otherwise, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors had already spoken out just after they met, and they were still formally negotiating with Shengchao. Chu Xian would never believe that there was no ghost here.

"In this matter, at the court meeting tomorrow, I will bring up that, Chu Xian, you are a key official trained by the Holy Dynasty. It is inappropriate to be included in the marriage list, and it is even more impossible for you to join the Wu clan." It can be seen that Xiao Yu is also the same. Somewhat displeased, after all, the people below made these little tricks, clearly to get Chu Xian away, at the small level, it was aimed at Chu Xian, plotting against Chu Xian, at the large level, it was to touch Xiao Yu's majesty.

Since everyone knew that Chu Xian was from his lineage, it would be strange for Xiao Yu to be happy if the other party did this.

After leaving Zhongshu Mansion, even Cui Huanzhi's face became a little dignified.

"Now, the situation is not right. The thirteen witch ancestors actually asked for someone in person. This is indeed unexpected. The other party is a distinguished guest, and it is related to the overall situation of the two clans. It is indeed difficult to refuse the request. At the meeting tomorrow, I am afraid There is going to be a fight, after all, there will definitely be many officials who will put the overall situation first and agree to the request of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors."

Chu Xian also thought of this point.

Chu Xian has magical powers and eloquence at the moment, but he can't use any strength. Even with his current official position, he is not qualified to participate in the court meeting.

So this matter can only be entrusted to Cui Huanzhi and Xiao Yu. Fortunately, although Chu Xian cannot go to the court meeting, he believes that there will be someone to speak for him at the court meeting.

Even so, Chu Xian was very upset by the feeling that his fate was being controlled by others.

If he is now an official and rank five, then he is eligible to step into the court.

There was no other way, Chu Xian could only ask Cui Huanzhi again and again, and then went back.

No sleep for one night.

This time, Yang Ke's calculation was to borrow the power of the reconciliation of the two clans. Chu Xian couldn't resist it at all, and he didn't even have a chance to make a move. This naturally made Chu Xian extremely aggrieved.

We can only watch the game at today's court meeting.

……

The holy court meeting is held by the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion, and officials of the fifth rank and above in Jingzhou are eligible to participate.At the court meeting, all the important matters are discussed, and the court meeting represents the supreme majesty. Basically, no matter who it is, the things set at the court meeting cannot be changed.

Above the court meeting is the Shoufu Pavilion, which can be regarded as a higher-level small court meeting. The matters discussed are also higher-level matters that need to be dealt with immediately.Of course, after the Shoufu Pavilion has made a decision on most of the affairs within the Holy Dynasty, it will be discussed again at the court meeting, but basically, it will be carried out in accordance with the tone set by the Shoufu Pavilion.

It can be said that the Chaohui and the Shoufu Pavilion are symbiotic and co-existing, and they have the power to restrict each other. This is also the system established by the ancestors of Taizong, which has maintained the operation of the Tiantang Dynasty for thousands of years.

In today's court meeting, there are many things to be discussed. Basically, the court meeting lasts for more than three hours. If there is any contentious matter that cannot be settled, it will continue later. Sometimes, it may last for six hours.

Of course, that is a special case, and in most cases, one morning is enough.

Things are naturally decided according to the priority.

Discuss the important matters first and come up with a result, and the rest are some small matters.

The marriage list proposed by the Thirteen Witch Ancestors was proposed by the Minister of Rites at this moment.

"Everyone, the thirteen shaman ancestors came to visit the Holy Dynasty and proposed that the two clans get married so that the intimacy will be increased. Since then, the two clans have stopped fighting. Let's see." After finishing speaking, Minister of Rites raised his hand to pat, and saw the golden clothes, and the list in his hand immediately turned into big characters, flying out, forming words in the air.

In this way, the officials in the entire court can see it.

The first name on the list was Chu Xian's name.

Seeing this name, many officials were taken aback for a moment, and even some officials frowned, as if they didn't believe it.Everyone knows that this marriage is a situation, and the people who are selected are all irrelevant, but Chu Xian is different. First, the other party is an official of the sixth rank, and second, he is an example of a literati. Don't know?How to put it, Chu Xian is a potential talent in the Holy Dynasty, how could he be listed in this list.

At this time, some officials immediately raised objections, and the Minister of Rites sighed: "This Chu Xian is the one named by the thirteen witch ancestors. If you have any opinions, you can express them and discuss them."

An official over there said: "Since the thirteen ancestors called for the person, it is difficult to handle over there. Even if they are rare talents, for the sake of the overall situation, they can only agree to the request of the thirteen ancestors. It's a good thing, Chu Xian's marriage in the past can also enhance the relationship between the two clans, I think it's a good thing."

At the moment, many officials agreed, and it can be seen that these officials are all members of the Yang family.

At the court meeting, Yang Zhenqing didn't speak, but glanced slightly at Xiao Yu over there.

Yang Ke begged him about Chu Xian, and Yang Zhenqing nodded in agreement. To be honest, Yang Zhenqing also looked at Chu Xian as an eyesore, so taking this opportunity to get Chu Xian away would be beneficial to the Yang family.

The only obstacle is Xiao Yu.

Chu Xian is Cui Huanzhi's protégé, and Cui Huanzhi is Xiao Yu's student. Everyone knows this, so it depends on Xiao Yu's response.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, but some officials below raised objections.

"I thought that this matter was inappropriate. It is a good thing for the two clans to get married, but you have to pay attention to your wishes. Even the thirteen ancestors of witches can't force others to be difficult. What's more, Chu Xian is not an ordinary official, just like this. The family is a great loss for the holy pilgrimage, so this matter is not feasible."

The official who spoke was obviously from Xiao Yu's lineage, and his role was to fire the first shot.

Sure enough, the latter also followed suit.

At this time, Wen Shengyuan also spoke. Simply put, it was three words.

disagree.

"Chu Xian is an example of literati, how can he enter the barbaric land of the Zhuwu clan? It's just nonsense." A literati flicked his sleeves, showing great indignation.
