Xu Xiaode said in disbelief,"
"Girl, are you saying that this little Emperor is not simple? I didn't see it, but I did. He's been messing around since yesterday!”
Xu Hui was puzzled.
"If you can make the seven clan heads of the five surnames and seven Wangs donate 1,050,000 yuan willingly and also attack the image of the five surnames and seven Wangs in the hearts of the people, then the civil and military officials should just let the little Emperor do whatever he wants.”
"Nonsense. It's beneficial to the Imperial Court, so why not let him do it?”
What you said makes sense!
Xu Xiaode was at a loss for words. He pondered for a moment and said,"However, he wants to expand the three palaces and six courtyards. What good does this do to the imperial court?”
Xu Hui bit her finger." I haven't thought of it yet."”
Xu Xiaode chuckled and stroked her little head. He said with a doting gaze,
"Girl, your idea is not bad, but the little Emperor is just fooling around. You said that his fooling around made the Five Families and Seven Wangs donate millions of strings and even caused their reputation to be greatly damaged in the eyes of the world. I think this is not the little Emperor's decision, but the Supreme Emperor!”
"Although the Supreme Emperor abdicated, how old is the little Emperor? What did he know about governing the country? Everything in the imperial court was still controlled by the Supreme Emperor.”
"Is that so?" Xu Hui blinked.”
"That must be the case!"
Xu Xiaode's tone was unquestionable. He thought of something and said,"Girl, you might have to go to the morning court tomorrow.”
"Daughter?" Xu Hui was stunned.
Xu Xiaode said helplessly," In our Xu family, other than your two brothers, the next one is you. The little Emperor has decreed that there must be a woman in the family of all the civil and military officials to attend the morning court for him to choose."”
Xu Hui's beautiful eyes lit up.”
Xu Xiaode was speechless.
Are you focusing on the wrong thing?
This was selection.
How is this court!
Xu Xiaode looked helpless." That's right. That's why I said that the little Emperor is messing around!"”
"Then go and get ready. I haven't thought of what to wear tomorrow.”
Xu Xiaode covered his face and sighed when he saw Xu Hui running into the house to pick out clothes. What was going on? Was there a generation gap between him and the younger generation? Was this a matter of court? Do you think this is for fun?
……
The next morning.
Early in the morning, all the officials of the court gathered at the palace gate. Beside them stood hundreds of women.
Among the women, the youngest was about five years old, and the oldest was about thirteen years old.
The officials looked strangely at Pei Ji, who had brought a five-year-old girl over. The older the wiser, this granddaughter was even here!
Pei Ji's expression was calm as he held his granddaughter in his arms and happily gave her a bamboo board to play with. He looked at the civil and military officials and said,"My fellow colleagues, today, when His Majesty chooses, you must remember one thing. You must not let His Majesty choose!”
"Prime Minister Pei, don't worry, we know what we're doing.”
"Sigh, Your Majesty is just fooling around!"
The officials sighed helplessly.
Then, everyone looked at the seven stone tablets at the entrance of the palace with strange gazes.
Yesterday, they had already known about the stone tablet. Some people were even furious. If they looked down on the Emperor, they would look down on them even more. They used their power to suppress the disciples of the five surnames and the Seven Wangs.
Later, he only knew that the seven stone tablets had been moved away from Ming De Sect.
He didn't expect to move here.
What shocked the officials even more was that there were tens of thousands of wooden boxes piled up around the stone stele, causing the seven stone steles to arch up high as if they were standing on a grave.
" Look, what's going on!!"
"The imperial court is short of money now, which government office isn't anxious? The little Emperor clearly got the money from the five surnames and seven Wangs, but he would rather let the money rot here with these seven stone tablets than to send it to our government office.”
"Sigh, what can we do? If remonstrance was effective, would we still be laughing bitterly here?”
The officials 'complaints rose and fell.
Xu Hui held her father's hand and looked curiously at the expressions of the civil and military officials. She asked softly,"Father, do the officials hate His Majesty? Why did everyone pull a long face at the mention of His Majesty?”
Xu Xiaode sighed." His Majesty is young and has no prestige. Naturally, he can't control the officials."”
Xu Hui's brows furrowed even more tightly as she said in a crisp voice,"
"But that's not right. I think His Majesty is very powerful. Father, look at these seven stone tablets and the wooden boxes piled on the ground. Don't you feel anything?”
"Feelings?" Xu Xiaode asked in confusion. Yes, His Majesty is messing around!”
"It's not nonsense!"
Xu Hui pointed at the seven stone tablets and said,"
"Father, look. On the stone tablet is engraved the story of His Majesty being deceived by the Five Families and Seven Wangs. Under the stone tablet, there is a pile of money. Isn't His Majesty trying to say that he is using the face of the imperial court to exchange for money to resolve the crisis?”
"His Majesty placed the stone tablet and the wooden box together to tell all the civil and military officials of the court what the Five Families and Seven Wangs are like. They are not good people and are on the opposite side of the court!”
Xu Hui's pretty face was full of seriousness as she said,
"During the Qin Dynasty, Duke Xiao of the Great Qin created the national monument and carved the words of national humiliation. He poured his blood to show his ambition. Isn't this the reason why His Majesty erected the monument here today?”
"If you want your daughter to see, everyone is blinded by his age! If His Majesty was as old as his father, the King of Qin, all the officials would have been scared to death!”
Xu Xiaode said with a bitter face," I'm afraid that the little Emperor has really reached that age. I'm afraid that the Tang Empire would have long been angered by him. Girl, you're thinking too much. That's definitely not the case."”
No way!
Xu Hui muttered in her heart, but looking at Xu Xiaode's expression, she knew that no matter what she said, he would not listen. She could not help but sigh. Why was everyone deceived by the Emperor's age?
Although he was really very young.
However, he was really flawless in his work.
Didn't anyone notice?
Or could it be that all the officials in the court did not want to discover the Emperor's age? Or was he deliberately avoiding this question?
Xu Hui was a little confused.
Was it his own illusion, or was it everyone's problem?
Soon, the palace gates were opened. The eunuch on duty at the palace gates called out, and all the civil and military officials held fish talismans in their hands. After checking their identities outside the gates, they strode toward Taiji Palace.
Inside Taiji Palace.
It was empty.
The officials of the court calmly lined up and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Xu Hui was a little surprised when she saw Xu Xiaode sitting down. What was even more surprising was that Xu Xiaode actually pulled her wrist and asked her to sit down too.
Xu Hui sat on the ground and said in fear,"Father, if His Majesty sees this, will he blame you?”
"Don't worry, I won't."
Xu Xiaode sighed and said,"Your Majesty won't be able to come for more than an hour."”
"Why?" Xu Hui asked in surprise.
"Who knows what the little Emperor is doing? He might be asleep.”
Xu Xiaode grumbled," It was like this yesterday. He made all the officials wait for more than four hours. His legs are numb. The morning court session is such an important event, but he has delayed it to this extent. What else do you expect him to do?"”
"Maybe he's just resting up?" Xu Hui blinked.”
Xu Xiaode was speechless.
Was this girl her biological daughter?
Why did he always side with outsiders and speak up for Li Tai?
Xu Xiaode sighed and said," Just wait and see. When the little Emperor comes, you will know what his true face is like!"”
Xu Hui giggled and did not reply. She could not help but feel curious. How did the Emperor, who was clearly so powerful, do it? How did all the civil and military officials in the court not take him seriously at all?
