Chapter 39: Court Meeting! Raging Battlefield!



“His Majesty has arrived!!”

After Crown Prince Xiao Ming left, King Jing wanted to say something.

In an instant, the eunuch's shrill shout interrupted his words.

"Ninth brother!"

"The King is out!"

King Jing Xiao Jing smiled happily and then walked outside.

Obviously, Xiao Chen's attack just now made him feel very happy.

"Be careful."

After King Jing left, King Yu also came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Send Brother King Jing and Brother King Yu!"

Xiao Chen clasped his fists and watched King Jing and King Yu leave.

"Two old foxes!"

Xiao Chen complained secretly, and his expression gradually calmed down.

He felt that these two were just here to watch the show.

What you are watching is the play between him and Crown Prince Xiao Ming.

Today, no matter whether he was captured by the prince or the prince was humiliated by him, both of them were the happiest ones.

After all, in the battle for the throne among the nine dragons, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Killing one means one less enemy.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty!"

"Everyone, please stand up!"

A chorus of cheers interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts.

He staggered to the door of the side hall and looked through the crack.

Looking around, you can roughly see the entire picture of Qianyuan Hall.

His adoptive father, Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty, sat on the dragon throne with an expression of boundless majesty.

Inside the main hall, there were four rows of people standing, densely packed all the way to the entrance of Qianyuan Hall.

The leading ones are slightly different.

To the left of Emperor Jing of Ming Dynasty stood Crown Prince Xiao Ming, Prince Jing Xiao Jing, Prince Yu Xiao Yu...

On the right side stood two people...

Xiao Chen was very familiar with this person. It was the one who saw Situ Wuming wearing the Yin-Yang Taoist robe that night. The black and white Taoist robe was very conspicuous.

And the other person,

Xiao Chen is not so familiar.

He was about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a crimson official robe, looking elegant and handsome, with deep eyes, as if he had experienced endless vicissitudes of life.

When he and Situ Wuming stood together, their temperaments were surprisingly comparable.

In an instant, he saw a person hiding in the corner of the side hall.

"Eunuch Huang?"

"Eunuch Huang?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Huang Jin who was hiding in the corner, waved his hand and shouted.

Signal him to come over quickly.

He discovered that the Forbidden City was really full of smart people.

And he's very good at self-preservation.

Just like Huang Jin, after bringing Xiao Chen into the side hall, he instantly hid in a corner, not being involved in the fight between him and several princes at all.

Shh!

Huang Jin hurriedly put his hand to his lips and ran over in small steps.

While signaling Xiao Chen to be quiet.

He ran to Xiao Chen and said hurriedly:

"My little ancestor!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"This is a court meeting, please be quiet."

“It will affect the outside world.”

Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Eunuch Huang,"

"You haven't told me yet, how should I know when I will go to the palace?"

He found that Huang Jin was really easy to control.

To put it bluntly, this man puts his father's interests first.

Whether it was at the palace gate, when he was rescued, or now, as long as he did something slightly beyond the rules.

Huang Jin would be extremely anxious.

He wiped off the unnecessary sweat stains and explained in a low voice:

"Your Highness, that's what you're asking."

"Morning court is different from a small cabinet meeting."

"There are rules of procedure for morning court sessions. This morning, the memorials received from the Cabinet and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were about three major issues."

"First, there's the question of selecting the Minister of War."

"Secondly, there are the various financial plans submitted by the Ministry of Revenue. The major plans have been approved, but most of them are related to this year's military supplies."

"Third, the Ministry of Rites reported on His Majesty's birthday and the Spring Hunting Ceremony!"

"Probably after all three matters have been discussed."

"It will then be your turn, Your Highness."

Huang Jin’s meaning was very clear. The morning court was for dealing with important matters.

Your matter is not important enough and is not even qualified to be included in the proceedings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cabinet.

"You're quite pretentious!"

"Isn't this just a formality?"

Xiao Chen secretly complained in his heart.

It seems that the Great Zhou Imperial City has perfectly inherited the political unwritten rules of the previous life.

Hold small meetings for big matters and big meetings for small matters!

Although the three things Huang Jin mentioned above were all major events, Xiao Chen didn't believe it. Did such a big thing require so many officials to gather together in the morning court?

For example, the candidate for the Minister of War, a first-rank official, must have been decided by a small meeting of several bigwigs of Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty!

This conference is totally unnecessary.

In the main hall, the handsome old man who was demoted by Situ Wuming walked out of the queue and saluted Emperor Ming Jing.

He also took out a memorial from his sleeve and raised it above his head.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has chosen the candidate for Minister of War!"

"There are three of us in total. Your Majesty, please review this."

At this time, Xiao Chen finally asked what he was thinking. He turned to Huang Jin and asked:

"Eunuch Huang?"

"Eunuch Huang?"

"Who is this person?"

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

Huang Jin looked in the direction of Xiao Chen's finger, then looked at Xiao Chen with an expression of "as expected" and said:

"Your Highness, don't you know him?"

"Mr. Lin Yanfu, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet?"

"Minister of Personnel, the Crown Prince's mentor!"

"He and Master Situ are both His Majesty's right-hand men."

"You don't know him, but you don't know his romantic secrets back then?"
