There are countless moral articles of sages. Only those that can truly moisten things and silently integrate into the hearts of most people can become classic theories that will last forever. Most of the others have become tools used by emperors and ruling classes to consolidate power. Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism were used as a ruling ideological system in the Spring and Autumn Period. But in fact, what almost all emperors want the most is the mysterious prophecy and divination technique.

Li Yuanzhi, the Minister of Personnel, was a big boss in the court. Although his reputation was not as good as that of the Chief Auxiliary Lu Buqun and the Minister of War Lu Sifa, he was quite favored by Emperor Yunkang. One of the reasons was that Li Yuanzhi was called a half immortal and had a profound attainment in prophecies and divination.

This day is the dynasty once a month.

The emperor of the Daqi Dynasty held a court meeting every two days and summoned three provinces and six ministries to discuss the affairs of the court. The 20th of each month is the time for the dynasty. The emperor not only summoned officials of the six ministries, but also summoned kings, dukes, princes, princes and all officials above the fourth rank of the capital to discuss politics. The dynasty meeting in the first month of each year is the time for all officials to pay homage to the emperor, including the princes, major officials from other provinces, and royal relatives all entered the court on this day, which was a real grand ceremony.

The second moment of Mao.

The gate of the outer palace opened and the ministers began to enter the outer palace.

The imperial palace in Daqi has been continuously constructed for more than 400 years in two dynasties, and is magnificent in scale.

Entering along the central axis, Tianhe Gate, Tianping Gate, Baohe Hall, Three Provinces and Six Ministry Chaolu, Wudingchang, etc., form the outer palace. Entering from the terminal gate, there are countless palaces with high eaves and teeth. The entire palace is arranged according to the nine meridians and nine latitudes, which fits the way of celestial phenomena. The building complex is even more magnificent and abundant, and the towering royal aura comes to the face, which makes people awe.

At this time, hundreds of officials on the imperial road on the central axis were moving forward slowly. The Lu Party led by the chief assistant Lu Buqun, the Lu Party led by the General Secretary of War Lu Sifa, the Li Party led by the Minister of Personnel Li Yuanzhi, and the gentry party represented by the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Zhang Chen, were clearly divided. Of course, these are only the superficial factions, and the deeper relationship is complicated, representing the interests of each prince, relative, prince, and gentry. The factions may be deeply rooted and have a huge influence, or the rising sun is gradually becoming a climate. No official dares to say that he can get along with the forces of each faction.

You should know that the struggles above the temple have always been turbulent. Once politics loses balance, it will lead to life-and-death killings, throwing dirty water, making bad moves, putting down rocks, and falling walls. To gain a foothold in the court and becoming a tumbler, it requires considerable political wisdom.

Yan Feng walked in the middle of the team without moving forward or backward. Since he opened the Earth Chong Cave, his spirit and spirit have changed drastically. From the appearance alone, he no longer had the sickly and weak body of the past, but had a spiritual power that soared into the sky, and his elegant appearance was even more heroic. In order not to attract attention, before going to court, he specially asked Ajiu to help him perform Taoist techniques, and still made up his appearance into the weak state he had before.

At the forefront of the team, the 40-year-old emperor Yu Wang Yan Zhongcheng walked by Lu Buqun with a calm expression. Behind King Yu, the second prince Qing Wang Yanming, the third prince Fu Wang Yanheng, and the fifth prince Yong Wang Yanqi. These princes are the most popular candidates for crown princes, and they are still King Qing, and King Yong are the most popular. The sixth prince and the seventh prince behind them also follow court officials who hold their swords and take turns to burn cold stoves. As for the ninth prince, the tenth prince, and the eleventh prince, there are basically no ministers who are optimistic about it. The tenth prince is the same brother of the second prince, and they do not look like a king; the eleventh prince is young and has no possibility of succession under the chaos of Daqi; as for the ninth prince Yan Feng, almost everyone knows that it is impossible to become a king of a country without profound martial arts.

They walked to Baohe Hall one after another, and the ministers entered the hall to rest.

The ministers in Baohe Palace were divided into several camps. For some reason, in this heaven, the officials felt a strange atmosphere, holding their breath and concentrating, and were particularly quiet. Sometimes some people were careful and just talking to the "clients" around them.

Yan Feng stood in the southwest corner of Baohe Hall, beside him was the tenth prince Yan Chong, who was full of hatred, and he kept paced around him without saying a word.

Yan Chong was not as profound as his mother-in-law, King Qing and Yanming. For him, the loss of several martial artists in the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the 1,000 taels of silver bills that were expelled were almost all his possessions. Hatred! He weighed a thousand pounds on the scale! This guy looked like a resentful woman, giving Yan Feng a glance after another. Thinking that his mother-in-law, King Qing and Yanming were by his side at this moment, and there were no white martened men accompanying him and two pretty maids with mysterious sword skills, increasing and decreasing, and his courage was a little bolder. After three rounds, he thrust his face and walked to Yan Feng and whispered: "Brother Ninth, you give me one thousand taels of silver bills, and I will write off the previous incident."

Yan Feng looked at him with a smile and said, "Well? Your thousand taels of silver notes are not enough to compensate for the losses in my mansion."

Yan Chong almost vomited blood and asked: "You, what are your losses?"

"You and Brother Qi brought people to the door, which made our mansion messy. The ground was covered with blood. Do you know? The money I spent on asking someone to repair the ground was far more than one thousand taels."

Yan Chong was dizzy and said anxiously: "Why do you need a thousand taels of 1,000 taels to repair the ground for thousands of texts?"

"It depends on whoever is cultivating! The vulgar maids in your mansion only have a few thousand words. I am a green Rao, and Hongju washes away the bloodstains by herself. I ask if you will charge a thousand taels or less!"

Yan Chong knew that he would never get a good word, so he wanted to beat him up, but he didn't dare to look at the ministers in the hall, so he had to walk to King Qing and whisper to him.

King Qing walked slowly to Yan Feng, frowned and said, "Ninth brother, please return the 1,000 taels of silver bills to Yan Chong."

If Yan Feng, who had always kept a low profile, had to return the silver notes to Yan Chong obediently. However, now he has spent the most difficult decade of his life. Although he still looks like a scholar who is still literary and weak on the surface, he has actually been reborn. He turned to look at Yan Chong and sneered: "Lao Shi, why are you so promising? He cries, makes a fuss and hangs, and often calls for adults to help. That's what women and little kids do! Didn't I say that? I don't have enough money to pay for you."

King Qing's eyes were cramped and his face suddenly looked ugly. Yan Feng's words were explicitly humiliating Yan Chong, but in fact he didn't take him seriously. All the ministers looked at him coldly! If he didn't keep his word in front of Yan Feng, his value would have dropped significantly!

He lowered his voice and said, "Lao Jiu! Didn't I hear what I said?"

"Second brother, I heard it right? The money I gave was like poured water, and I could also be recovered? That's it. For the sake of my second brother, if Yan Chong had no money to eat, he would go to my mansion to have a meal in the future, which would be considered as giving me face to my second brother."

Brother Qing Wang changed color! These words were simply squeezing the face!

The old emperor had noticed the situation here long ago... As the younger brother of Jin Shang, King Yu has always been mature and polite. He was able to get the special respect of his ministers not because of his talent, but because he treated the princes equally and never stood in line. In his eyes, the second prince with the highest voice, the fifth prince, and the ninth prince who had almost no hope of a crown prince. As long as Jin Shang appointed a crown prince, he would assist him with it with all his heart. This transcendent attitude made him stand out in the eyes of the princes and thus won wide respect.

Seeing that there was a lot of movement here, he came over and asked, "What's wrong with you three brothers?"

King Qing replied in disappointment: "Uncle Emperor, the ninth brother blackmailed Yan Chong for 1,000 taels of silver. Yan Chong asked him for it. Not only did the ninth brother not want to return it, but he also said it was rude and asked the emperor to make the decision."

Well? The ninth prince Yan Feng has always given up when encountering problems. As opposed to Yan Chong, how could he blackmail so much money? King Yu asked: "Ninth prince, what's going on?"

Yan Feng bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Emperor, that's the case. The tenth brother brought someone to our door a few days ago, causing the mansion to be bleeding all over the ground. I charged him a thousand taels of compensation, and the second brother supported Yan Chong and wanted to get the money back."

The Baohe Palace was originally very quiet, and there was movement here. One of the parties involved was the eye-catching King Qing again. The ministers all raised their ears and listened. When the Ninth Prince said this, they all focused their attention on King Qing.

King Qing is in a difficult situation!

In front of the emperor's uncle and ministers, if Yan Feng forced him to pay back the money, he would lose his identity and popularity; if he gave up and lost his face, the princes would laugh at him for not even being able to handle the ninth prince!

This matter...

The old emperor glared at Yan Chong and scolded, "The Tenth Prince, why are you so ignorant? The thing is that you are wrong, and you are still taking King Qing to oppress the ninth prince. What kind of pride is it? No need to mention this matter, just wait for the emperor to summon him."

“…”

At this time, it seemed that he was cooperating with King Yu. The drum whistle sounded, and the eunuch shouted from outside Baohe Hall: "The ministers entered the hall!"

This "enter the hall" refers to the diligent hall where the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss matters.

The ministers all tied their crowns and dressed each other, and left the second prince, ninth prince and tenth prince for the slightest thing. They walked out of Baohe Palace without looking sideways and continued north along the imperial road.

King Qing snorted, then walked away with his feet.

When the fifth prince, King Yong, Yanqi, passed by Yan Feng, smiled. King Qing was embarrassed and felt that his face had grown. Wen Yan said, "Ninth brother, I have time to sit in my mansion."

Yan Feng said with no humility or arrogance: "Thank you, Brother Wu, I will definitely come to my house when I have time."

When they came to the Qinzheng Hall, the ministers sorted out their court uniforms again. At this time, the court uniforms were all bordered with crimson robes, red.

The deacon and eunuch shouted again: "The ministers come to the court!"

The princes, nine ministers, civil and military officials entered one after another. Yan Feng looked up at the Qinzheng Hall in front of him, with yellow roofs and red walls, yellow glazed tiles on the roofs of two wings, and lying dragons on the eaves. The hall was built on a base made of white marble. The base was overlapped with three layers. The center axis was ground against the seams on the bottom of the soles of the feet. The central axis was always south and stretched endlessly. The dragon chair was placed in the middle of the central axis, facing north and south. As long as the dragon chair was stable, the mountains of the Great Qi River would last for generations...
