At noon, the ministers began to take their seats.
All the princes and ministers above the first rank took their seats in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The rest of the people were sitting in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The same applies to envoys from vassal states.
Dozens of small rosewood carved tables were placed in the main hall. A red carpet embroidered with dark golden dragon patterns was laid on the golden bricks on the central axis, extending all the way to the outside of the hall.
Yinreng and his brothers walked slowly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The princes and ministers who had been waiting there all stood up and saluted them.
"Your servants greet the Crown Prince and Your Highnesses..."
Yinreng spoke loudly,
"Please stand up, everyone."
Then he walked towards his seat.
A group of officials stood up, then raised their eyes and looked at the eight or nine nobles who looked very noble.
Except for the crown prince and the eldest prince.
The age difference among the other princes is actually not that big.
After the Third and Fourth Princes entered the court last year, some people began to target the two princes.
Now, after a year, these old foxes who have been immersed in the court for a long time have also come to some conclusions.
The Third Prince is interested in Chinese studies, which seems to be an attempt to cater to the Emperor's respect for Confucianism.
But they also had to admit that the Third Prince did have some talent in Chinese studies.
The Fourth Prince is a meticulous person and is quite capable in the Ministry of Justice, but he cannot tolerate any flaws.
There is no pursuit of power.
Every day, I just read files.
He lives like an elderly person at such a young age that it is hard to get close to him.
But it suits the taste of those perverts in the Ministry of Justice.
After a year, the Fourth Prince was also doing very well in the Ministry of Justice.
But everyone can pretend.
Especially the royal family.
Whether the Fourth Prince is just pretending or is really like this, we need to observe him more.
As for the Fifth Prince who entered the court this year...
He was given to the Queen Mother to raise when he was born, and had no chance of becoming emperor, so it's better not to mention him.
The third and fourth princes appear to be very close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it seems that they are really aiming for the position of the Wise King.
They still need to observe for a while to see whether it is worth supporting.
The emperor is now in his prime. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be in power for a long time.
If you place your bet too early, you are sending yourself to the guillotine.
They're not that stupid yet.
But it is extremely necessary to build good relationships in advance.
The princes were guided by the young eunuchs and sat in their seats. Except for the crown prince, the others were arranged according to their age.
As soon as Yinreng sat down, he looked up and saw Soetu's fat face.
Soetu's expression quickly turned into a smile.
Yinreng nodded at him as a greeting.
The smile on Soetu's face became more genuine.
His life nowadays... can only be described as making do.
Since the Crown Prince turned fifteen, almost every time he went to Yuqing Palace to see the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would advise him not to accept bribes, form cliques, or have close contacts with other court officials and nobles.
Although he did not go so far as to pretend to obey but actually disobey, he did not try too hard to keep a distance from his "subordinates".
The situation in the court is changing rapidly. Although it seems relatively stable now, who knows what accident may happen in the next second?
What if... he has to keep a close eye on the prince and not let those ignorant people take advantage of the situation.
Soetu thinks long-term.
But after that case came out a month ago, he became much more cautious.
You have to be careful.
The lives of the whole family depend on his belt.
Even Ling Pu's lowly group almost made him fall into the gutter.
If his political enemies set a trap for him, he would not be so afraid.
What he fears is that there are people under his command who are so stupid and unaware that they will cheat him without him realizing it.
He can't explain it even if he has a mouth all over his body.
Soetu was still frightened.
Nalan Mingzhu's seat was two seats away from Soetu, with Zhang Yushu and Chen Tingjing sitting in between.
Mingzhu now has a gloomy temperament, which is very different from her previous graceful and graceful appearance.
Most people thought that he was still sad about the death of his youngest son, but only a very few people knew that Nalan Kuifang's death was only a small part of the reason.
More importantly, I hate my own blind self-confidence.
I thought my approach was flawless.
But the facts gave him a loud slap in the face.
However, Alinga, who was sitting behind him, frequently glanced at Yinzhen and Yin? after sitting down.
When Yinreng saw this man, he began to feel suspicious.
Alinga is the half-brother of Concubine Niohuru. He is only in his twenties now, but he is qualified to sit in this hall.
Sitting together with a group of old men is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Alinga married Defei's younger sister a few years ago. I don't know if it was because of the emperor's pillow talk, but Alinga has become more and more favored by the emperor in the past two years.
However, although he was also the younger brother of Concubine Nianhulu, they had the same father but different mothers and their relationship was not close.
Alinga was born to Ebilun's third wife and was his only legitimate son.
Consort Niohuru, Faka, and even the late Empress Xiaozhaoren were all sisters from the same mother, born to Ebilun's concubines.
There was also a rumor in the capital that in the 25th year, the imperial concubine's younger brother Faka was stripped of his title, and this person was involved.
It's just that whether it's true or not is impossible to verify.
The emperor's favor has brought this matter to a seemingly perfect end.
This year, some elders in the Niuhulu family proposed to pour resources into the Tenth Prince.
