Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

From the fifteenth day of the first month to the end, the year is completely over.

According to the promise made with Lu Tiesheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, on the night of Shangyuan Festival, Ming Tan sent people to Chunzhou to pick up Bailu in the early morning of the next day, and asked her to discuss repairs with Haosheng of the Ministry of Industry. about him.

"Father has decreed that Yuanzhou will be rewarded to me as a fief, so that we can let go of our hands and feet and do as much as we want, so that the newly built canals will benefit the people in the city."

Ming Tan patted Bai Lu on the shoulder, and said to her seriously: "If the imperial court builds water conservancy projects, the money transferred may be targeted by someone... Today's Yuanzhou will regain its vitality, and after If there is no difference, then why not build the canal in my name, and I will dispatch all the manpower, and the work will be much more convenient and stable."

"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Lu understood her meaning, nodded deeply and said, "Minister will definitely discuss with the Ministry of Industry, please rest assured."

"Okay." Ming Tan smiled, waved to the side, and Mallow, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward, properly put on the dark blue official robe in her hand, and bowed to leave.

Ming Tan picked up the black gauze hat on the table and put it on, his whole appearance was completely new.Even though Bai Lu always respected her very much, she couldn't help but look at her twice more rudely at this time, and said in surprise: "Oh, after putting on the official robe, Your Highness is completely different from usual!"

"For me, there is no difference between official robes and armor," Ming Tan sighed, curling his lips unrefinedly, "You think I'm going to the court, but in fact I'm going to the battlefield."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the sky and didn't talk any more, she just asked Bai Lu to stay in the Kunning Palace for a while longer, and let someone take him to the Ministry of Industry after the court.

After making such arrangements, Ming Tan picked up the wat board and rushed towards the Tianhong Hall.

Although today is not the day of going to court on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the nine princesses were absent for a day on the day of Shangyuan Festival, and it is reasonable to make up for it now.

Because he talked with Bai Lu for a long time, Ming Tan almost hurried to the Tai Chi Hall, and stood beside Ming Jing as usual, trying his best to balance his breath exhaustedly.

"What did you do this morning?" Ming Jing raised his hand, and patted his younger sister's back to make her feel better, "Isn't it because you got up late?"

"……No!"

Ming Tan paused slightly, his eyes drifted a little to the side, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he blushed and shook his head vigorously, "I got up very early!"

Ming Jing glanced at her with a smile, and turned back without thinking too much, as if it was because he accidentally poked the truth that he caused the other party to be so ashamed.

...However, at a place he hadn't noticed, Mingtan rolled his eyes and heaved a deep sigh of relief, saying to himself that fortunately Qingqing didn't lose her mind last night, and her movements were gentle and tight, which didn't make her feel tired at all— —Otherwise, not to mention coming to court, it is a question of whether you can get up today!

As soon as he recalled the charming scene last night, Ming Tan involuntarily lost his mind, thinking of the bright red lips, the creamy white skin, and the one who was so focused and affectionate with the other party that he could only accommodate himself The eyes of the figure—

Stop it!

Ming Tan shook his head, secretly bit the tip of his tongue, coughed twice, forced himself to recover from the taste of the marrow, looked up at the golden plaque above the dragon chair, and silently recited three times in his mind. Heart Sutra.

Form is emptiness and emptiness is form, perception, thought, and awareness, and the same is true...

I'm at work now!What are you thinking about!

The spirit of migrant workers.Ming Tan, as a senior 996 expert, just used her firm willpower to overcome the temptation of reminiscing about the gentleness of the country, when Sheng An's voice came from the hall, loudly reporting: "Your Majesty is here——"

All the ministers respectfully bowed down and greeted them. After the emperor sat on the dragon chair and let them lie flat, he stood up again and officially started today's court meeting.

Since nothing happened recently, and Yuanzhou was planning to pay for the canal repairs out of his own pocket, Ming Tan had made up his mind before coming here, and his main task in going to court today was... to catch fish.

What kind of 996 expert is a worker who doesn't know how to fish?

While thinking confidently, she quietly stood behind Ming Jing, skillfully and perfectly blocking the sight of the officials, and began to sneakily doze off.

——But unexpectedly, today's court meeting was destined not to let her live in peace.

On this side, Ming Tan hadn't even closed her eyelids yet, but her old rival Liu Yushi had already stepped out, holding up a long impeachment memorial, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The ministers and others are all ready!" Thirty censors from the procuratorate all want to interview the Ninth Princess Ming Tan who did not follow the palace rules and virtues, went out of the palace many times privately, showed her face outside, acted recklessly, and did not abide by the teachings of the "Four Books for Women". !"

As soon as Liu Yushi's words came out, it can be said that the whole court was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, most of the impeachment memorials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are for nothing, and they are forced to participate in order to complete performance.Therefore, there is a customary rule that the important matters of the family and the country should be played first, and the officials need to line up quietly, and they can only come out to dance when the court is about to go down.

However, like at this time, it is very rare for the censor to appear as a ginseng just after he came to court—even the emperor was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized his attack target, he immediately frowned and looked at him coldly. He reprimanded: "Liu Aiqing, you are also a veteran minister who has been in the court for many years, 'If you are not a corrupt official, a heinous person, a person who has lost his moral character, or violated the rules and regulations, you will not be allowed to participate in the concert together with officials'... This is from the top and bottom of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Don’t you know the clear order that must be obeyed?”

"Of course the minister is aware of this decree!"

Liu Yushi held the impeachment seal tightly, and suddenly landed on his knees, facing the dragon chair and prostrating: "However, the misconduct of the nine princesses that I and the others participated in is 'virtuous conduct', which is completely in line with the law. The rules of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, please forgive me!"

"..."

Ming Tan's face darkened, and he was keenly aware of Liu Yushi's full confidence, he couldn't help but secretly squeezed the wat board tightly, and stared coldly at the latter's back.

In order to participate in her book, he didn't hesitate to pull all the members of the Procuratorate into the water?

This is definitely not something that a mere censor dares to do, there must be other black hands behind it!

Ming Tan suppressed the anger in his heart and waited and watched calmly. While listening to Liu Yushi holding up the memorial, he scolded her for not observing women's virtues and ignorance of etiquette; It is easy to argue with him, and temporarily stand still.

Sure enough, after Liu Yushi had just finished playing the impeachment chapter, within a moment, an official who was not the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate took a step forward, and said in a sympathetic voice: "There is a saying in the "Internal Training", that women's journey There is no need to be cautious. Women in ancient times all follow the Four Books for Women as their norms, abide by their virtues, and should always keep in mind "chaste and tranquility, leisure and silence"-although I inherit the folk customs of the dynasty and open up, I am not harsh on women , but the recent actions of the Ninth Princess... are too contemptuous of ancient teachings!"

"Master Nie's words are true!" As soon as the man finished speaking, a new minister stepped forward and reprimanded him, "The Ninth Princess is always eloquent, and she can be one against ten in the court. How ever has she ever kept her mouth shut? What's more, as a princess of the Tian family, she should be more self-respecting and self-loving. What's the point of running outside the palace to show off? Not only violates the etiquette, but also falls into the majesty of the royal family, which is really inappropriate!"

They talked one after another, using ancient rituals one after another to explain things, without mentioning the benefits of Ninth Princess's actions, but instead focused on her behavior in public, and attacked them tit for tat.

Ming Tan stood at the back, his eyes darkened, he glanced at the faces of these people, and found some clues, and immediately frowned even tighter.

The official who first supported Liu Yushi and brought up the "Internal Training" was from the Ministry of Officials, and he was Minghui's subordinate.This is not as expected by Ming Tan, after all, the other party has already torn face with her, and this time he watched her take Minxin and Yuanzhou together, and he must have red eyes to bleed, not to do anything That's abnormal.

But the person who answered the call later...

Ming Tan pursed the corners of his lips, and realized that most of the courtiers who came out to support Liu Yushi later were officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites usually exists similarly to the Ministry of Industry. It has always been absolutely neutral between the Yonghui Party and the Qianwang Party, and will not easily intervene in disputes between the two factions, but how could it be uncharacteristic this time?

...Could it be that what the Metropolitan Procuratorate just said happened to resonate with them?

It makes sense when you think about it.

The people in the Ministry of Rites are notoriously old-fashioned, they like to talk about the old system when they have nothing to do, and they wish to be exactly the same as "Zhou Li" in every move--the same is true now, it seems that the quotations are well-informed, but in fact they are half-reasonable No, it's just mechanically applying the ignorance and dross of the ancients to the present.

"Master Hao, you really know how to joke! Since the former Emperor Dezhen, the emperors of all dynasties have never restrained women, and the Four Books for Women have long been unknown. Why do you mention these ancient things?"

Finally, the Yonghui Party couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and scolded: "What's more, the Ninth Princess bears the waist card bestowed by His Majesty, it is legitimate and reasonable to leave the palace, and she has never ostentatiously, at most it is just It's all about enjoying the New Year with the common people, where does the saying of 'not following the rules of the palace' come from?"

"Hmph, now that there are today's rules, how can you use the ancient teachings to make feathers and arrows? According to what I saw, if the adults are old and confused, they should report their old age and return to their hometowns. Don't continue to embarrass yourself in this court!"

The officials of the Yonghui Party have sharp teeth and perfectly inherited Mingtan's style. They always swear quickly and neatly, and their tone of voice and words are unreserved. They are three points better than Yushi. .

The old antiques of the Ministry of Rites are usually regarded as highly respected, how could they have endured such reprimands?Everyone was trembling with anger, blowing their beards and staring at each other. At this time, they stood on the top of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, arguing fiercely, and there was a mess in the court: one group insisted that the nine princesses showed their faces several times, and their virtues were not good; Take the situation of the current dynasty as an example, and ridicule that since the former only knows some ancient teachings, it must be difficult to adapt to the current era. You might as well resign as soon as possible and go back to seclusion. Finding a deep mountain and old forest to chew wild vegetables is the last word.

In front of the hall there was a lot of excitement, but Ming Tan behind the hall frowned frequently.She turned her head, looked around, and found that many people's expressions were shaken by the Ministry of Rites, and even many younger courtiers thought she couldn't hear them, so they lowered their voices and whispered: "As a woman, it is important to act You really should restrain yourself, the Ninth Princess is still too active..."

"That's right, when the former Ninth Princess didn't come to the court, everyone always had some opportunities to participate in politics; but when she came, His Majesty was partial to everything, and didn't even give others room to speak. It's really—"

This person hadn't finished speaking when he met Ming Tan's icy eyes, his knees went limp in fright, and he quickly fell silent.

……Ah.

Ming Tan sneered in his heart.

It seems that these seemingly neutral officials are not very noble, they just change their positions according to their own interests.

She raised her eyes and looked at Minghui who was not far away. She thought that he would show off to her, but she didn't expect... The other party's expression also looked a little weird, as if she didn't expect it to happen like this at all. It's all going well, the expression on his face is full of smiles, but there is still a bit of doubt hidden in it.

Huh.Ming Tan frowned, what's the matter?

In fact, it was exactly the same as what she saw—as the main envoy who instigated the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach the Ninth Princess, Minghui couldn't help but feel suspicious at this time, feeling that the situation had changed too smoothly: in the situation where many neutral officials defected and participated Under the circumstances, the Yonghui Party, which was able to fight against the Ministry of Rites and Yushi, was obviously much weaker, and it was almost impossible to continue to persist.

This... He actually just wanted to take advantage of the hand of the censor to vent his anger and make Mingtan suffer, but he didn't expect the effect to be completely beyond expectations!

Minghui felt something was wrong in his heart, but the sense of accomplishment that rarely overwhelmed the Yonghui Party still prevailed.His slightly frowned brows stretched out, he exhaled freely, and turned his head to look in the direction of Jiuhuangmei. Seeing that the latter was frowning tightly and staring at him coldly, he couldn't help feeling a burst of pain in his heart. The joy of successful revenge.

So what about the outstanding achievements in the court?So what if he is favored by his father alone?

Isn't it because he has no power to parry if he is slightly instigated by him, and can only let the officials scold him?

The great joy dilutes Minghui's vigilance. With a winner's smile on his face, he slightly bows his head to Mingtan, takes a step forward, and finally speaks in a graceful manner: "Father, I know very well that the Nine Emperors sister has a temper. Lively, but as a princess, it is extremely inappropriate to run around outside the palace many times. What should I do if I encounter danger? ——Yes, please listen to the opinions of the adults to ground Jiuhuangmei Stay in the palace for a few days, so that you can discipline her temper!"

"..."

Seeing that many officials in the hall echoed one after another, and then glanced at his daughter who had not acted rashly, but was thoughtful, the emperor calmed down and looked at Ming Tan, with a hint of questioning in his eyes .

——What can you see?

Ming Tan shook his head slightly, and raised his hand to make a gesture.

——Just plan and count.

Minghui is just a fool who was used as a gunman, nothing to worry about, the real enemy is still in the dark.

But the other party is really well hidden, and lurking among so many and complicated power groups, Ming Tan didn't find any clues at all...

Since this is the case, then it is better to simply push the boat forward, take advantage of this confinement to restrain the edge temporarily, and lure the snake out of the hole, in order to find out the real body of the other party in one fell swoop!

And the emperor naturally understood what his daughter meant.

Anyway, Ming Tan is currently in the harem, and the courtiers are not allowed to spy on the inner chambers—then how and how long will this confinement be, and is there still a lot of room for maneuver?

"...Everything you love to say is reasonable, and I have to agree with it."

After a long time, when the quarrel in the court subsided, the emperor sighed deeply, as if he had made a huge concession, he said to Ming Tan with pain: "The Ninth Princess has acted quite inappropriately recently, and she will be willful. If you act recklessly, you will be fined and banned for a full month, so that you can reflect in the palace, and you are not allowed to step out of Kunning Palace, do you understand?"

"……Yes."

Ming Tan held back, and also made a look of extreme aggrieved, lowered his head and said slowly: "I obey the order."

Although the rest of the courtiers were still dissatisfied with the light punishment of "one month's foot ban", under Ming Hui's signal, they all gave in one step and accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not continue to chase and fight.

...That's good, it's enough to let him vent the bad breath in his chest.

Minghui narrowed his eyes, his lips curled up slightly, and there seemed to be a dangerous gleam hidden in his eyes, which was fleeting.

——After all, he is still planning a bigger plan, but he must not attract too much attention...
