Looking at the two completely different notes, Emperor Chu smiled and threw the notes on the stone table, picked up the already cold tea, drank a small sip, and stood in front of him, Governor Yi, Pang Zhen, Tang Yin, Guan Zaide, and Taiwei Lei. The ministers did not speak, and were quietly waiting for Emperor Chu to teach.

It was getting colder in the imperial garden. Although the ministers did not give him a seat, they were not uncomfortable standing. Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Chu asked, "Everyone, you have read the two memorials in front of you. This matter is not big or small. If the prince said it is true, then Qin Fei would have committed the crime of greed for merit and even slandered the prince. If Qin Fei said it is true, then the prince would have been suspected of taking merit. Who said it is true?"

Governor Yi's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes were observed with nose and nose, as if he had entered into meditation, and he had no idea of ​​speaking at all.

Taiwei Lei was not a good person to be one of the three dukes. If he said Qin Fei was not, he would offend Governor Yi and Tang Yin, and said the prince was not. God knows what Emperor Chu thought in his heart?

Tang Yin was light and calm, and he stood there as if he was integrated with the imperial garden, but he had no intention of speaking.

Since Guan Zaide is optimistic about Qin Fei, he naturally doesn't want Qin Fei to suffer any losses because of this matter. However, his identity cannot be said randomly, and he is still the father-in-law of the country.

Pang Zhen looked at an old minister beside him and instigated: "Prime Minister, you are the leader of all officials. You are determined and determined. We are not as good as you in terms of problems. Why don't you tell me your opinion first?"

The three dukes of the court - Prime Minister, Grand Marshal, Censor, and Chief Censor. They are in charge of civil and military officers and supervisors. In addition, the governor of the Office of the Inspection Office who is not among the five elements beyond the Three Realms, and the number one master of the Chu State, Pang Zhen, who is the chief officer of the Great Inner Guard... The lineup of ministers in front of him is extremely powerful. Anyone who sneezes would tremble half of the east.

Lu Yueping, the prime minister of Chu, was fifty years old this year. He was not from a wealthy family. When he was a young man, Lu Yueping studied poetry and wrote articles and browsed the articles. Later, he participated in the imperial examinations and won three yuan in a row, becoming the only genius who won three yuan in a row in a row. When Emperor Chu attacked Wei, Lu Yueping was still a member of the Ministry of Revenue, but he was given an important task at that time, which was the supply of the army. Before planning to attack Wei, he spent four years preparing everything needed to attack Wei - money, grain, supplies, and even possible pensions for soldiers. After the war, all kinds of emergencies were solved one by one by one by one by him.

After the successful attack on Wei, Lu Yueping made great contributions. The Prime Minister at that time died of illness. The young Emperor Chu personally came to his bed and said in tears: "The old prime minister devoted his efforts to the country and worked hard for decades. Finally, he successfully attacked Wei. However, he had not had time to enjoy a few good days before he could leave me. I am young and it is still difficult to manage such a large country, not to mention the conquered land of Tang and Wei. If the old prime minister was Xianyou, I was afraid that I would not be able to do anything!"

As a result, the old prime minister pointed to Lu Yueping, who was with Emperor Chu, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, if there is Lu Yueping here, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"

After saying this, the old prime minister really blew. I don’t know if it was his recommendation or Lu Yueping’s luck. Just in front of the sickbed, Emperor Chu decisively appointed Lu Yueping, who was not even the Minister of Revenue at the time, as prime minister.

This order made all the great Chu families crazy. The three dukes of the court could not escape the palm of the aristocratic families, but now they have fallen into the hands of a poor family. In time, the Lu family will inevitably become another major family in the Chu State. The aristocratic families control the country, and they are afraid of rising new families competing for interests with them. In the years after Lu Yueping took office, the major families and Lu Yueping fought for many years.

This prime minister is indeed capable, either using big sticks or candied dates to obey all the clans. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yueping has served as prime minister for eighteen years. He is a veteran in the court!

When His Majesty asked, someone always had to answer the questions, but Lu Yueping knew very well that there was no big problem for others not to speak. If he didn't speak, the problem would be a bit serious.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Yueping took a step forward: "The old minister thinks that both comments have exaggerated points. Judging from the comments, Qin Fei was indeed the one who persuaded surrender alone, but if the prince did not deploy so many troops around Shunfeng Island, the pirates might not surrender immediately. However, Qin Fei dared to meet the pirates alone, that courage would be extremely rare."

Taiwei Lei had his eyelids and joked: "The Prime Minister is very good at living."

Lu Yueping would not argue with Taiwei Lei. He continued: "Qin Fei has the courage to send this secret letter, which means that the prince's actions in Anton are indeed dissatisfied. However, when it comes to the prince, it is His Majesty's family affairs, so it is not convenient for us to interrupt."

Lu Yueping kicked the ball to Emperor Chu, and all the ministers felt relieved. Everyone knew that the prince was in a hurry to grab the credit and was in a hurry to show that it was to fight for the throne. But for the throne, it was the Emperor Chu who said he would give it to him. If he made up his mind to depose the prince, it would be useless even if the prince stole the heavens. But if he didn't plan to depose the prince, it would be none of the matter with the prince's robbery.

Of course, Emperor Chu understood Lu Yueping's intention. He just smiled faintly: "That's how the Prime Minister thinks? That's great. I will make the following arrangements. My dear friends, please see if there are any additional supplements."

"Qin Fei applied to organize the pirates into the team of the Anton Inspection and Administration Department. I agree. However, it is necessary to be divided into two parts. Cui Qixiao, with some people and all his family, enter Luoguang Port and accept Qin Fei's direct command!"

"Ren Pingsheng is a talented person, and he has to use it and must not be used. I specially ordered him to promote Ren Pingsheng to be the deputy general of the Dachu Naval Division and the deputy commander of the Jiangnan Daxing. After receiving the order, he can go to the Jiangnan Daxing to take office and assist Guanping in handling all matters of the Navy. In order to facilitate his military training and management, I allow him to lead half of his old subordinates to strengthen the strength of the Jiangnan Daxing."

"Since you have surrendered, it is the army of Da Chu. The salary is paid according to the Wolf Teeth Army, and each person rewards a number of gold and silver, which is decided by the Ministry of Revenue. And Ren Pingsheng himself, I personally admire him for ten thousand taels of gold and ten beauties, and give him a house to Dongdu."

"Qin Fei made great contributions to persuade the surrender. I allowed him to remain his governor in Andong, but he was promoted to the admiral of the Tongzhi and also served as the governor of Andong. As for the prince, I was disappointed. I will talk about everything when I return to the capital."

Emperor Chu's tone made the ministers feel strange, as if they already knew that if the prince returned to Dongdu, they would definitely face a storm. There were important officials in front of them, and being able to say the prince in front of so many people made me very disappointed, undoubtedly telling them that I have already thought about changing the heirs.

Everyone's mind has started to move, and almost everyone has thought of a person who may succeed - King Duan!

"If you have nothing to do with me, then according to this meaning, I will notify the Secretary of Li to draft an edict!" Emperor Chu said lightly.

Lu Yueping immediately responded: "I object."

"What are you against?" Emperor Chu asked in surprise.

"Qin Fei is already a governor at a young age, and he has a bright future. Now His Majesty adds him to the rank of Tongzhi Admiral with just one word. The entire inspection hall is just a governor, six admirals, and more than a dozen admirals. Now that Qin Fei is such a high-level official, can his force convince the public? Can his virtue convince the public? If he ends Anton's term and is transferred back to Dongdu, which department will he go to? Can he get along with his colleagues? Your Majesty, Tongzhi Admiral who is less than 20 years old, no old minister has ever thought of it for the past three hundred years of the Great Chu." Lu Yueping bravely raised his objection, regardless of the anger of Governor Yi and Tang Yinshe next to him.

"Prime Minister..." Governor Yi said lightly as if he woke up from a dream: "By the way, in the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu, he was promoted to Prime Minister from the Ministry of Revenue. I think about it, you are the only one?"

When Tang Yin saw that Governor Yi had opened fire first, he said coldly and coldly: "A person's ability has nothing to do with age, right? Your Majesty had already pacified the Wei State in his twenties. According to you, wouldn't he look down on the ancestors of Chu State?"

Lu Yueping started sweating all over his body. He just raised an objection, thinking that the little kid was a Tongzhi Admiral at a young age, and that would be great in the future? Besides, Qin Fei had made so many troubles in the east, and Lu Yueping could not have a bad impression of him, but he had no good impression. He just considered it simply from the perspective of the prime minister. If Qin Fei was soaring all the way at such an age, and even after Governor Yi retreated, he had no buffering person and took over the Inspection Office directly, at his age, he could command the Inspection Office for many years. Young people were always ambitious, and the Inspection Office was in the hands of ambitious people, that might not be a good thing.

It was clearly a matter of thinking about the country, the people and the king, but why did Governor Yi and Tang Yin take turns to be labeled as big a hat? It also involved the ancestors of Chu?

Taiwei Lei coughed gently, and while no one else saw it, he stabbed Guan Zaide next to him slightly and whispered: "Old Guan, go ahead... that's your future grandson-in-law."

Guan Zaide replied: "Although it may be my grandson-in-law, there are two strong men now. If I go on again, I'm afraid Prime Minister Lu will not be able to bear it. Grandmaster, I heard that your grandson has a good personal relationship with Qin Fei. It seems that you are also planning to stand on Qin Fei's side?"

Taiwei Lei snorted, and saw that the fanning of the flames failed, he simply stopped talking.

Emperor Chu liked to see the quarrels of ministers, and he smiled and didn't say anything.
