Chapter 305: Lantern Festival Viewing Lanterns

Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly:

"If all the princes here are capable, they can naturally enter the court as officials or generals. The court does not restrict them. If they believe that they are not capable, they will be demoted to princes and reduce their fiefs."

The princes frowned and looked at Zhu Qiyu with bad eyes. It seemed that it was not cost-effective to use one to become an official in the court and another to replace the other to reduce the titles from generation to generation.

The princes had some calculations, although there were gains and losses, the benefits of missing in the middle seemed not worth it.

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Zhu Qiyu continued:

"I allow you to be re-appointed as a prince if you are willing to be re-appointed as a Duke. After you are defeated, it will be your fief."

The hall has become quiet.

A few princes look at me, I look at you, this seems to be impossible.

I am the prince, and my son is the worst, and if my grandson is useless, then I am the Duke of the country. If I have the ability to work hard, then I am still a prince.

Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Zhu Qiyu stood up and said:

"It's not too late today. I believe that uncles and uncles will also go back and consider it. I will also give you a briefing. The Ministry of Revenue has repeatedly impeached the clan's family and is illegal, believing that you are wasting money and food and need to be rectified. I believe that more and more impeachments will be involved."

The King of Zhennan wanted to say something else, but the old King Min waved his hand and held it down.

King Xiang bowed and sent Zhu Qiyu away, stood up, and looked at King Min, and both saw the worries in each other's eyes.

Your Majesty is starting to show his fangs. Whether you agree or not, this national policy must be implemented. And judging from what he meant just now, if a clan member dares to stop him, Zhu Qiyu would not hesitate to use civil servants to rush over and take a bite.

After leaving Fengtian Hall, King Zhennan held King Min, his face full of depression:

"Father, your Majesty has not given any explanation for his son being scolded by Su Cheng."

King Min looked at the back of King Xiang in front of him and sighed. He had given birth to several sons, but not one of them was smart. It would be great if he could have half of King Xiang.

"Hmph, waste, what do you want to say? What do you want His Majesty to give you?"

"Your Majesty is something you can argue with. Be careful when I go back and break your legs. If you have nothing to do, you will cheat me. Who is Duke Zhongguo? He is His Majesty's beloved general and the most noble in the court. Don't talk about you, he dares to scold the seven ministers."

The King of Zhennan muttered dissatisfied:

"Our family is much more noble than the seven ministers."

Old King Min was furious and almost beat the King of Zhennan with the crutches in his hand. Seeing that the nearby guards and eunuchs were looking at him, he had to say helplessly:

"Your Majesty is the most tolerant person who will not deal with you. Who is Duke Zhong? Because Ren Li, Chen Mao and Zhang Fu competed for power with him, he directly lost a five-army governor's office. The nobles were suppressed and could not raise their heads. Su Cheng became the number one martial honoree."

"A person like this can do anything for the sake of profit. How many taels of meat do you have on your body, and you dare to fight with Su Cheng."

The King of Zhennan was a little scared when he heard this:

"Our family is the prince, he, he dare not?"

Old King Min glared at his son, his face looked ugly. This son is such a waste.

Fortunately, my grandson is successful.

...

Shu Liang and Cheng Jing stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at the backs of several princes.

Shu Liang dusted the big red python robe on his body:

"Our old King Min is a smart person. Unfortunately, one of his sons is more crippled than the other. King Min may not agree with His Majesty's will."

Cheng Jing smiled:

"Yes, Lao Min Wang's family is unfortunate, and no sons are good at it."

"But those who agree or disagree, the Min kings are all ministers, so they should still listen to the emperor."

After saying that, Cheng Jing walked out with a complete python robe.

Shu Liang looked at Cheng Jing's gaze, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, but this hint of envy flashed in a flash, and he said to himself:

"It's good not to be a good person. The things that the emperor has decided will be implemented. If you have the courage to oppose Duke Zhongguo, you will be sleepy and come to your door to deliver a pillow."

...

The days passed quickly, and the main festival passed in a flash. It was soon the sixth day of the dynasty. The yamen opened seals and all officials went to court.

Su Cheng was dragged to participate in the grand court meeting. He listened to the civil and military officers quarreled in the court, and Yu Qian was dragged to deal with various affairs of the Ministry of War. In order to pacify the Japanese affairs, he held several generals for several days and ordered several generals.

The westward strategy is the focus of the court this year, because the road to the west is still in the Western Regions countries. In order to open up this business road, it is necessary to clear the horse thieves along the road. However, these horse thieves are related to the countries, and the Ming army will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble in advancing the commercial road.

Su Cheng made a few suggestions, and Shi Tou slapped the table and quarreled with Baoding Boliang. Lao Xie and Tao Qian cursed for a long time, making the military discussions of the Ministry of War a vegetable market that cursed the streets.

In such a swearing military discussion, the days came to Lantern Festival and the yamen rested again.

Because Su Cheng stayed up late to participate in the military convention, he was so tired that he became dizzy. From the tenth day of the day, Su Cheng started to sleep, ate, slept, and ate until the fifteenth day of the day. Su Cheng fell asleep.

Fan Xiaoyue served Su Cheng with his clothes and a full set of jade belts. She said:

"The palace issued an order to order the wives of the destiny of each palace to enter the palace to watch the lanterns with the queen. I can't watch the lanterns with my grandfather tonight."

Su Cheng said with a smile:

"Your Majesty will probably summon me, and I will probably have to accompany the emperor at the palace gate. You and Bai Yan will accompany the queen to watch the lanterns. She often goes to and from the palace city. If you have any questions, ask her."

Xiao Yue smiled like a flower:

"No need. In the past few days, the Empress summoned us to the palace several times, and I became familiar with the roads in the palace."

Su Cheng waved his hand:

"Then you, the eldest sister-in-law, just look at the younger sister carefully. Don't let her offend anyone's life-long wife, I don't know."

After lunch, the carriage in the palace arrived at the gate of the mansion. After receiving the people, the eunuch who was picking up the people respectfully paid homage to Su Cheng, he picked up the two of them into the palace.

Su Cheng ordered Ren Yao:

"Your Majesty has an order to summon us to the palace. Today is the Lantern Festival, and we will have fun with the people. After we watched the lanterns with the emperor, we went to the West City by ourselves."

Ren Yao looked outside the door, and his tone was helpless:

"Miss has given me instructions to watch our lights and not let the parades rush over. You have offended so many nobles. At that time, I don't know how many gangsters want to take advantage of the opportunity to watch the lights to attack our lights."

Su Cheng looked at the lights still on the gate and said casually:

"If you can just make one, if it's too good, tomorrow the Censor of the Censorate will impeach me to embezzle people's wealth and paste people's money and build beautiful lanterns with corrupt silver."

Ren Yao looked at the tall lanterns of the gatehouse and ordered the craftsman to say:

"Just this floor, don't put it on the second floor. Didn't you hear the orders from the prince?"

On the wooden lamp stand, two elderly craftsmen were a little reluctant. One looked at Su Cheng and the other shouted at Ren Yao:

"We have to pay for the entire lamp, we agreed."

At this time, a horse came from afar and arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The knight turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground to salute Su Cheng on one knee:

"Mr. Master, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Meridian Gate to watch the lanterns and have fun with all the officials."

Su Cheng suddenly thought:

"Will my father-in-law go?"

The guard was obviously stunned, and he said hesitantly:
Chapter completed!
