At this moment, some ministers regretted in their hearts and were worried that they would be chosen to investigate the case of the Beizhao Kingdom's spies!
Just check! Isn't this a common practice? Why do we need to do this?
Now I have to worry again, I just hope I don’t get selected!
Old Prime Minister, "..." Let me choose? Thank you for your trust in me! You are deliberately putting me on the fire!
However, he has been in the court for decades after all. How could he so easily accept such an offensive task?
"I believe that the emperor will make a decision!" The old prime minister smiled and praised Emperor Donglin.
Emperor Donglin had already made plans today to create a new situation for these ministers, so naturally they would not respond.
Emperor Donglin sneered, "You want me to make the decision now? Doesn't the Prime Minister think that the people I arranged are not capable of stabilizing the court? The Prime Minister should come in person, or arrange for a capable minister to investigate this matter! For the sake of the stability of the court, I will give you three days! If you can't find a result in three days, old Prime Minister, you should abdicate and let someone more capable do the job!"
"emperor……"
The old prime minister wanted to speak, but the Emperor of Donglin raised his hand to stop him. "I believe that the prime minister will do his best for the stability of Donglin! I am waiting for your good news!"
...
...
Old Prime Minister: "..." This doesn't give me a chance to refuse politely!
Emperor Donglin was determined to make things difficult for him, and there was nothing wrong with his words, so even the censor had nothing to impeach.
After all, you think the people arranged by the emperor are too slow, making everyone in the court feel insecure, so you should do it yourself and see if you can investigate it clearly.
Emperor Donglin waved his sleeves, glanced coldly at the group of officials standing below, and gave Wang Dehai a look.
Wang Dehai took a step forward and waved the whisk in his hand, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave!"
The prime minister had returned in defeat, so what else could the other ministers do? They could only escort Emperor Donglin out of court.
Emperor Donglin stood up and left the hall, leaving the ministers kneeling on the ground alone.
Tan Xu stood up first, brushed off the non-existent dust on his legs, and before leaving, he did not forget to glance at the old prime minister with a gloating look.
He laughed secretly in his heart, "You deserve it! Who told you to speak ill of the little princess!"
Others may not know, but he knows how much Emperor Donglin values Xiao Ruoyi.
But now the old prime minister actually dares to criticize Xiao Ruoyi. Isn't this just asking for a beating?
Tan Xu smiled and cared about Prime Minister Tan, "Prime Minister Tan, although the order issued by the emperor is very important, your health is also important, you must take care of yourself!"
Prime Minister Tan looked up at Tan Xu and stood up tremblingly, "General Tan really made a big splash today!"
Although the two have the same surname, they do not have a very good relationship.
After all, one is civil and the other is military, and civil officials often think that military generals are a group of reckless men who don't know how to use their brains.
Tan Xu accepted the compliment without blushing, "Haha, it's not bad, it's all thanks to the emperor's trust! The same goes for the old prime minister. You have been entrusted with an important task, you must investigate it carefully!"
Prime Minister Tan's face suddenly turned dark and he snorted coldly. Everyone knew that accepting this case was not a good thing for him, even if he was the regent appointed by the Queen Mother.
But who made Emperor Donglin not give him the chance to refuse and push it to someone else?
If the people he arranged failed to find any results in the follow-up investigation, his prestige might decline, and he would also be ridiculed by Emperor Donglin.
I can only see if I can use the excuse of my serious illness to arrange it for someone else.
Once the deadline is up, even if the investigation doesn't find out what the problem is, it won't be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Tan has already started to think about who would be the best person to take over this hot potato.
The ministers around him all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Prime Minister Tan, let alone open their mouths to attract his attention, for fear of being chosen.
So, one by one they turned around and left without looking back, as if there was a hungry wolf behind them wanting to eat them.
During the morning court session, the court was extremely lively and the imperial city was also bustling with people discussing the strange phenomenon that occurred in the middle of the night yesterday.
"Did you see any strange phenomena in the sky above the palace yesterday?"
"I see it! I don't know what happened, but a pillar of light appeared in the sky!"
"I saw it, too. It was so amazing! I was so engrossed in it that I ruined a whole pot of soy milk!"
"I heard that this is the courtyard where the little lucky princess lives! It must have been built by the lucky princess!"
"That light is definitely not something a mortal can produce! It must be an immortal! That little princess is a fairy!"
"Little Princess Lucky Star? That's amazing!"
"That's right, little princess, but corrupt officials and bullies have been arrested, and the imperial city has been cleared of the scourge!"
"It is our country's fortune to have Princess Fuxing!"
In an instant, before the morning court was over, the rumor that Xiao Ruoyi was a miracle maker and a fairy who had descended to earth spread throughout the imperial city.
Emperor Donglin followed the trend and took the opportunity to build momentum for Xiao Ruoyi again. When the empress dowager returned, Xiao Ruoyi's identity as a fairy who had descended to the earth was firmly established.
Even if the ministers oppose and the empress dowager supports her, as long as Xiao Ruoyi has the support of the people, nothing will be a problem!
The people are most willing to support Xiao Ruoyi, as she is a fairy who has descended to earth!
Emperor Donglin, who had planned everything perfectly, left the court and couldn't help but smile.
Although Emperor Donglin seemed to have gained the upper hand in the court and returned victoriously.
However, Emperor Donglin felt that he was still being bullied, so he wanted to find his little girl to complain and ask her to avenge him.
So he ordered Wang Dehai to bring Xiao Ruoyi over.
"Empress Liang, the emperor said he missed the little princess and called her to have breakfast with him!"
Xiao Ruoyi, who had only eaten half of it, was confused. [How long have we been apart? You're already thinking about it? How come I didn't know that the emperor has a feminine complex? ]
When Concubine Liang heard Xiao Ruoyi's complaints, she raised her lips in amusement and nodded gently, "Okay, then Yiyi will go and accompany the emperor!"
As for going to the imperial study to have breakfast, Xiao Ruoyi said it was not a bother at all, as Emperor Donglin's breakfast was much more delicious than her mother's.
"Yes, yes!"
Xiao Ruoyi immediately got on the sedan chair happily and went to the imperial study.
Arriving at the imperial study, Xiao Ruoyi jumped happily, saying in a clear voice, "Ah! Daddy, you miss Yiyi so soon?"
Emperor Donglin smiled and raised his head from the memorial, stood up to greet her, bent down and picked her up from the ground, "Yes, Daddy misses Yiyi! Does Yiyi miss Daddy?"
Xiao Ruoyi hugged Emperor Dong Lin's neck and nodded her head, "Yeah! Of course I do!"
He secretly agreed in his heart, "I have to think that if I want to live a life of ease and success in this world, I can't do without you, the emperor, as my backer! I have to live a long life!"
