Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 191 Layout launch!The confrontation at the meeting!
After leaving the Tongzhengsi, Guan Peng walked north along Tianjie Street, but he didn't go directly to face Sheng, but went halfway back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After a while, Guan Peng, holding a memorial, came out again and headed towards Miyagi...

In the Ziwei Palace, Li Gan looked at the memorial on the table, a little distracted.

Guan Peng is very important, and Li Gan has a reason to meet him.

It's just that in Li Qian's plan, it's not a good thing to get in touch with people from the sixth department now, and he still has some concerns in his heart.

That's why Li Gancai didn't ask the old eunuch to pass the message to Guan Peng directly, but asked the two servants to help pass the message.

It's just that Li Qian didn't expect that he would come so quickly.

"Your Majesty, Guan Peng, the left servant of the household department, is here."

Li Qian raised his head from the stacks of memorials: "Please come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch went out and quickly led Guan Peng in.

"Chen Guan Peng, see Your Majesty."

Guan Peng was still holding a memorial in his hand, and the old eunuch handed it to Li Qian: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Li Gan took the memorial, read it roughly, and frowned slightly: "Grand court meeting?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Guan Peng cupped his hands and said: "The Ministry of Rites has discussed with the Ministry of Household many times about the Zhengdan Dynasty, and many envoys from other countries have already arrived in the capital."

Li Gan frowned and stared at the memorial in his hand: "But the money in the treasury is not enough?"

Embarrassment flashed across Guan Peng's face: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"This year's canals are blocked, 300,000 imperial troops are dispatched, and the Northeast is provoking..."

"Then let's make it simpler." Li Gan waved his hand, as if he didn't care much about it: "You can discuss it with Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and the Ministry of Rites. Don't spend too much money."

"Your Majesty?" Guan Peng was taken aback, raised his head, and looked at Li Gan with some puzzlement.

"This is His Majesty's first grand court meeting after he ascended the throne. If His Majesty wants to hold a grand meeting, he can also let the internal money..."

He had already prepared a lot of rhetoric, and wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to convince His Majesty the Emperor, but he didn't expect that it seemed that he didn't need to waste his words at all.

Li Gan shook his head, not wanting to talk more about this topic: "There is no money in the internal money."

He had already spent almost all the money in his pocket.

In fact, he could have used this opportunity to ask Li Yuan to help pay, and by the way, try to regain the ownership of the internal money.

It's just that Li Gan secretly changed his mind when he learned something about Tang Guogong's mansion yesterday.

Don't startle him now, lest you startle the snake.

Moreover, with Daqian's current strength, it is simply not enough to support any grand court meeting.

Even if he emptied his family and managed to create a grand scene of all nations coming to court, it would be nothing more than whitewashing and being ridiculed for no reason.

Li Qian felt that even if he really wanted to hold that kind of court meeting, he had to wait until he had recuperated the terminally ill Dagan, and then had a veritable court meeting...

After recovering from the many chaotic thoughts, Li Qian looked at Guan Peng below: "Guan Shilang, do you have any thoughts about the assistant examiner of the examination?"

Guan Peng was startled, he had made sufficient preparations in his heart before coming, but he did not expect His Majesty the Emperor to ask such a straightforward question.

"Your Majesty, I have already served as a deputy examiner twice, and I don't dare to ask for extravagance anymore. It is better to give the opportunity to other colleagues and ask them to work for the court."

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully: "I see..."

"However, in my opinion, your household department has a great chance of winning the position of this deputy examiner."

Guan Peng was stunned when he heard the words, and raised his head in a daze. What does this mean?
Just now Ding Rukui and Wan Cai also said that His Majesty the Emperor supported Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to win the position of deputy examiner.

But now why...

Wait, Tobe!
Guan Peng had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of something.

He has already said that he no longer wants to compete for the deputy examiner, but His Majesty still talks about the Ministry of Accounts.

A figure suddenly appeared in Guan Peng's mind: Han Mulu!
What puzzled him was why His Majesty favored Han Mulu?He doesn't have much advantage!
With doubts in his heart, Guan Peng tried a sentence: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households is actually not very sure."

"do not have it?"

Li Gan was a little noncommittal: "I'm just guessing randomly, I can't do it really."

"What will happen in the end depends on what the Ministry of Rites thinks."

Guan Peng's words were blocked back, and the curiosity in his heart gradually grew.

It's just that Li Gan didn't want to satisfy him, but shook his head and said: "If Guan Shilang is fine, just go and prepare for the great court meeting, and I won't keep you any longer."

Guan Peng was different from the previous two groups, and Li Qian couldn't talk to him for too long.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Peng could only reply in a muffled voice.

After he left, the old eunuch came forward and reported to Li Qian that Ding Rukui and Wan Cai had gone to the General Administration Department just now.

"I see." Li Qian was not surprised by this.

Moreover, the fact that he hinted at Han Mulu to Guan Peng was also related to this.

Li Qian put down the pen in his hand and stretched his waist: "Let's go to Liugong."

So far, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and the rest will be discussed with Cai Jing at tomorrow's court meeting.

~~
Early the next morning, Feishui Pavilion.

Since the beginning of winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is extremely cold outside, the difficulty for Li Gan to get up has skyrocketed.

Fortunately, the six palaces where the concubines live have floor heating and flues, so even the interior is as warm as spring.

The eldest grandson Wugou seemed to know the importance of today's meeting with Li Gan, he woke up early when the stars were shining outside, and stretched out his two snow-white pink arms outside the brocade quilt, wanting to go down quietly.

"Sleep for a while..." Li Gan was alarmed by this small movement, and he muttered in a daze.

Changsun Wugou pursed his red lips, retracted his slender arms, stared at Li Qian's face with his big black eyes in the dark, then leaned forward and squeezed into Li Gan's arms.

I often go to court meetings early in the morning, and Li Qian's biological clock has gradually shifted towards the morning.

At this time, he was almost asleep.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Li Gan also gradually woke up, and stretched out a hand to wrap around his eldest grandson Wugou's warm back.

Both of them closed their eyes quietly without speaking, feeling the warmth and pounding heartbeat brought by each other.

It's just that this kind of happiness didn't last long, and was interrupted by the sound of intensive footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, morning is about to begin." The eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

Changsun Wugou opened his eyes, struggling to sit up, but was carried back by Li Gan.

She rested her head on Li Gan's shoulder, feeling the gentle warmth, and the reluctance in her beautiful eyes was much stronger than Li Gan's, but even so, Changsun Wugou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Time to get up."

"Um……"

Li Gan responded casually, but didn't intend to move at all.

After half a year, Li Gan has completely figured out the morning meeting.

The court meeting is held at four quarters of Yin time, that is, at four o'clock in the morning.

After winter, the eunuchs would call Li Gan at Yinshi, half an hour earlier.

In Li Qian's view, this time is undoubtedly very advanced, very wasteful, and very shameful.

It only takes 5 minutes for him to get up, get dressed and wash his hands, and it takes about 3 minutes to walk from his dormitory to the entrance of the Hall of Eternal Life.

Then sit on the shoulders, as long as the eunuchs who carry them walk faster and run, it takes only a little more than ten and six minutes from the Hall of Eternal Life to the Qianyuan Palace, then turn a corner, enter the Qianyang Palace, and walk to the Qianyang Hall, plus 6 minutes, this process is a total of 13 minutes.

The difference in this is a full 23 minutes.

In other words, if Li Gan waited for another 23 minutes before getting up after the eunuchs came over, he would arrive at Qianyang Hall just in time to attend the court meeting.

Of course, now that he lives in the sixth house, this time will be a few minutes less.

However, even though Li Qian was going to do something big at the court meeting today, he was not in a hurry to panic.

"Lie down for a while..."

Li Gan automatically filtered out the eunuch's repeater-like voice outside, retracted his arms, and hugged the soft and warm body in his arms even tighter.

Changsun Wugou didn't struggle to get away, but gently stretched out a pair of jade arms, wrapping around Li Gan's neck.

After a while, she said softly: "Didn't Your Majesty say last night that the court meeting will be held a little longer today? Why don't you get up early and eat something?"

"Last night, my concubine asked someone to cook porridge and make snacks in the middle of the night. It should be ready by now."

Li Qian reluctantly opened his eyes when he heard that he was going to cook.

"Ah~" He sighed a long time, as if he wanted to exhale all the exhaustion of the night: "Then get up and have a drink."

Li Gan stood up, his black hair was scattered on the back of his head and in front of his forehead, and he was stunned for a while.

The eldest grandson Wugou had already put on his middle clothes and got off the bed, and the maids outside also carried washbasins, bath beans and other things, and entered the room in a line.

After washing up, drinking another bowl of porridge, and eating something, Li Gancai walked out of the Zhongcui Hall and headed for the Qianyang Hall in a sedan chair, guessing that it was almost time.

Almost stepping on the point again, the ministers were getting impatient, and His Majesty the Emperor appeared in the palace.

There are still stars outside, the vermilion gate of Qianyang Hall is closed tightly to block the cold wind in the early morning, the charcoal basin is burning, and the red candles carved with golden dragon patterns emit bright red light. The ministers all bowed and greeted His Majesty the Emperor: See my emperor."

Li Qian had been brewing on the road for more than half an hour, and at this moment he finally had his emotions brewed, and with a gloomy face, he strode to the dragon chair and sat down.

He looked around at the ministers below with no expression on his face, and then said: "Let's all be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all the ministers had returned to their seats, Li Gan said, "My dears, do you have something to play?"

All the ministers were silent for a moment, and it was Zhongshu Youshilang Wan Qixi who spoke first: "Your Majesty, the year is approaching, and the exam will be held after the next year. I think it is time to consider candidates for the examiner as soon as possible."

The civil servants have different expressions, some are heavy, some are weird, some are smiling, and some are gnashing their teeth...

As for the military generals, most of them had an attitude of having nothing to do with themselves, and only a few of them had twinkling eyes, as if they were thinking about something.

Li Gan sat on the dragon chair, pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly: "What Ding Shilang said makes sense, the sooner you prepare, the better, what do you think?"

After a while, Ding Rukui, the left servant under the door, said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that we should consider this matter earlier, so as not to have any accidents and be in a hurry."

After the words fell, many ministers in the palace smelled something different, and gradually realized that today's court meeting was unusual.

Did Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng stand in the same camp?For many people, this is a very dangerous signal.

Especially the many servants of the Sixth Ministry, on the one hand, they were vigilant, and on the other hand, they were secretly suspicious.

A few days ago, the two sides were still dog-eat-dog, especially fierce?Why are you and me today? ?
Seeing that people on both sides expressed their opinions, Li Gan didn't delay any longer, but directly pointed the finger at Cai Jing: "Cai Qing's family, what do you think?"

The ministers in the palace were obviously taken aback, even the officials of Zhongshu and the two provinces under the door raised their heads and looked at His Majesty the Emperor inexplicably, while Cai Jing, who was asked, paused for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I think it's too early for this."

Cai Jing got up, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, arrangements were made after the end of the year. There has never been a mistake. This year is also the most secure."

Although the situation was a little sudden, Cai Jing still firmed his attitude.

For him, the later the candidate is determined, the better.

If it was known in advance that the deputy examiner of the general examination was Han Mulu, which servant in the Sixth Division would still be willing to help Cai Jing charge forward?

Li Qian had expected Cai Jing to be like this, he shook his head: "Cai Qing's family, there have been no problems before, but it doesn't mean that we have to stick to this practice."

"It can be better and more secure, why not make some changes??"

Cai Jing's expression remained unchanged, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Li Gan didn't give him another chance to speak.

"What about the others? What do you think of Cai Qing's family's point of view? Or are my words more reasonable?"

The expressions of the ministers changed one after another, and most of them looked up in shock.

Cai Jing, however, seemed not worried at all, and slowly sat back in his seat.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and doesn't stick to established rules. There are some bad rules in the exam. It's time to change it." Zhongshu Zuo Shilang Wang Ciweng spoke first.

"I also think what your Majesty said is reasonable." Dali Temple Minister Yan Maoqing hurriedly jumped out...

Seeing that people from Zhongshu Province and the Yan Party had all switched to His Majesty's camp, Cai Jing's eyes flashed gloomily, and he subconsciously thought of all the abnormalities yesterday.

On the side of the generals, it was more of an inexplicable shock.

If it weren't for the sudden situation today, they would not have realized the problem.The emperor had only been enthroned for half a year, yet he was able to call the wind and rain in the court?

what happened?
These civil servants who are like crystal monkeys are willing to listen to him? ?
Seeing that nearly half of the civil servants in the DPRK expressed their views, and Cai Jing still had no one to speak, Li Gan said directly: "Since all the Qing family think that my ideas are relatively safe, then..."

"Your Majesty, I think it is still in accordance with the established rules. After the next year, it will be decided that the deputy examiner of the general examination will be the superior." Song Qiaonian suddenly stood up and said, "If the candidates are discussed in advance, there is a risk of fraudulent disclosure."

After him, a group of members of the Cai party stood up one after another, with expressionless faces, and their eyes firmly supported Cai Jing.

Looking at the hula-la-la-la-la scene, many irrelevant ministers only felt chills in their hearts.

Is it possible that there will be another invisible war? ?

In this case, it is not afraid that the strength of the two sides is very different, but that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the battle will enter a stalemate!
Fortunately, the emperor, Zhongshu, and the three provinces under his sect are all in the same camp this time, and Mr. Cai Jingcai is the only one on his side for the time being...

In other words, the other yamen of the Sixth Ministry should not support him, right?
