Chapter 282
Chapter 282 - Exhibit
In the morning assembly on the second day, Chief Minister Qu had officially read out the bestowed edict in front of all the ministers. All the officials who could speak were able to debate with each other last night, and at this time, other than agreeing, no one else objected. Teng Yu's position as crown prince had basically stabilized.
At the same time, the proposal for the crown prince to supervise the country was quickly adopted. Other than a few officials who were worried about Teng Yu's capabilities, the rest of the people were no different from any other people.
Because his Chengde Hall was burnt, Teng Yu chose an empty palace to serve as a temporary place for the assembly.
He was wearing a golden python robe. He did not sit at the seat of honor, but had someone add a chair underneath the seat of honor. He was polite and considerate, making even the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't find fault with him.
“Report …” A resounding voice rang out from outside the palace hall. The officials were all excited, those who dared to directly enter the palace during the assembly must be in a rush of eight hundred li.
“Yes.”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Water Army has sent a report that they have won the first battle in Marshal Huo. They have destroyed 20 enemy ships and destroyed more than a thousand bandits!”
“…” The main hall was silent for a while, the ministers were not only not happy but also a little worried, they were all blaming the attendants who led the way outside for not being able to remind them of such an important matter, and now that they had called them wrongly, they could neither correct nor correct it.
If she specially reminded him that he shouted the wrong words, wouldn't that be deliberately causing His Highness The Crown Prince to lose face? His Royal Highness might be secretly amused by this!
“Raise your head!” Teng Yu said, “The emperor is severely ill, and is currently the overseer of this hall.
The soldier raised his head foolishly. Seeing Teng Yu sitting there, his first reaction was: The Emperor is actually so young!
Only then did he come to his senses and hurriedly kowtowed to acknowledge his mistake.
“Alright, get up. Let's go down and rest for a bit. I still have something to ask you after the assembly begins.”
“Marshal Huo is indeed worthy of being called the undefeatable God of the Big Dipper. I will tell Royal Father about such a joyous event in the future, maybe this old man will be relieved.”
No wonder! Some people muttered to themselves, “Although the emperor's health hasn't been too good all this time, he shouldn't have been so serious all of a sudden, right?” There might be something fishy about it.
“Your majesty is blessed. He will definitely recover soon!”
Teng Yu agreed and continued to talk about proper business, “Have you brought back the traitor's family members? Did you find the Great Emperor and the Imperial Consort Yun? “
“Reporting to Your Highness, all thirty-six people of Yun Family have been apprehended. The First Prince and Imperial Consort Yun are trapped in a courtyard in the outskirts, but there are still some clansmen who have been living in the northeast, do you want to capture them together?”
“Send people to pass down orders, take away Yun Heran's military power, capture all the direct descendants of Yun Family and imprisonment. The rest wait until the Royal Father wakes up before making the decision!”
“The Northeast Army is an important part of the defense, you can't be without a general. Your Highness should choose a general to temporarily take command of the Northeast Army.”
“In Prime Minister's opinion, who's the most suitable person to send?”
“There are many generals in the Great Liang army, but not many have the ability to command the general. This subject believes that General Pang Wei can take on such a heavy responsibility!”
Teng Yu raised an eyebrow, “City Guards Institution's Commander Pang?”
“Yes.” Inferior Prime Minister was smiling, he felt that Teng Yu would not refute his suggestion on the first day.
After all, he was still young and this was his first time dealing with national affairs.
“Prime Minister, do you know what the people from the City Guards Institution were doing last night when the traitors forced their way into the palace?”
“…” Inferior Prime Minister paused for a moment before replying, “Naturally, it is to protect the safety of the citizens in the capital.”
“What a great ‘safeguard the safety of the citizens of the capital'!” Teng Yu slapped the table and stood up, “The traitorous leader led the troops from the north-east to besiege the palace, while he instigated the Capital Camp to take control of the city gate. Luckily, General Qixin made the prompt decision to kill the traitorous general, and then led the Capital Camp to enter the palace to save the emperor, and during this period, where are the people from the City Guards Institution?”
Yun Heran did not plan to disrupt the security of the capital, nor did he plan to kill everyone. He had never even visited the mansions of ministers before.
Either he was afraid of dying and hid at home, not daring to come out, or he wanted to be a fence-sitter and watch the situation unfold.
“Although Pang Wei has failed, he has also failed …”
“The traitor has already forced his way into the palace, and he, a commander in charge of the security of the capital, dares to say that he has done so?” Right now, I don't have the time to look into these trivial matters, so I ordered him to stay at home properly! “
Inferior Prime Minister's old face alternated between white and red. Even the Emperor rarely refuted him in such a sharp manner.
“This time's chaos, Qixin's contributions must have been great, adding the last time the Qin had betrayed them, Qixin's rewards have not been released, why not come together this time, Northeast China just so happens to be short of a brave and loyal general!”
“Such a big matter should be decided by the Emperor!” Inferior Prime Minister choked.
“That's only natural. When Royal Father wakes up, I will report it all.” Teng Yu was worrying about not knowing where to put Qixin. With his personality, he definitely wouldn't let guard the Emperor for a long time.
The others did not say a word, since the person Teng Yu chose was indeed not bad, he was a resolute neutral party, which was already difficult to come by.
“The original leader of the guards, Wang Cheng, has already betrayed the Emperor and has been executed on the spot. Xu Mang is in a mess and has rendered meritorious service, the Emperor has previously promised him a meritorious service, and this commander position will be taken over by Xu Mang. Is there a better choice for the Inferior Prime Minister? “
Inferior Prime Minister did not dare to oppose, furthermore, this Teng Yu knew how to do things, the ones being promoted were not his own people, if it were someone who did not understand him, they would definitely think that he was sincerely helping the Emperor.
“Since no one has any objections, then it's decided.”
“Thank you, my lord!” Xu Mang was neither humble nor haughty as he stepped forward to receive the edict.
Initially, he thought that with the Emperor being so sick and the Third Prince grasping such great authority, it would be impossible for him to regain his senses. After all, he had made things difficult for Yin Xu quite a bit back then, and with the amount of love this master had for Yin Xu, it would be considered magnanimous not to kill him.
Teng Yu then promoted a few more people, all of them to replace the dead military officers. It was impossible for him to remove all of the emperor's trusted aides in one go, leaving the emperor to be the talented one, worthy of his appointment. There were some people like Qixin, like Xu Mang.
“What else do you want to play?”
The crowd was speechless. Teng Yu then had the Chief Minister Qu announce that he was leaving the court, and when he walked out of the hall, he said lightly: “Chief Minister Qu, you are his trusted aide, he can't possibly lose you. It's better if you go back and serve him well.”
The Chief Minister Qu was unable to refute him and could only agree.
As if she understood what he was worried about, Teng Yu explained without turning back: “Rest assured, I will definitely give you a bright future for your service.”
“This old servant does not dare, this old servant is only doing his duty!” Chief Minister Qu said while shaking his perspiration.
“Being able to do your job properly is enough. You are currently the Minister of Imperial Household of the Royal Father, so it's not appropriate for you to stay by my side.”
“Yes, this old servant understands.”
Teng Yu went to see the emperor first, and told him the news of Huo Zhengquan's victory. Although the emperor was still unconscious, he couldn't help but want to share this “good news” with him.
He did not know how angry would be if he heard it, but outsiders would always think that Teng Yu was a filial person.
After warning the imperial physician a bit, Teng Yu went to see the soldier who gave the order, and asked him about the details of the situation. After finding out that Yin Xu wasn't with Huo Zhengquan, he wasn't sure if he should heave a sigh of relief.
He wrote a letter to ask him to bring it to Huo Zhengquan, and simply told him about the palace changes that had occurred in the past two days.
The emperor previously wanted to use this opportunity to take Huo Zhengquan's life, but he didn't know how far he had planned it. However, from the number of Dark Guard in the palace, he knew that Huo Zhengquan's danger hadn't been resolved.
For news from the capital to reach Jiangnan, it would take at least ten days to half a month. If he was at sea, perhaps a month or two.
After spending half a day to review the Advice Letter, Teng Yu returned a small matter to the officials to settle. He had to decide everything, in the future, wouldn't he die from exhaustion in the study room?
Teng Yu stood up and stretched his limbs, then shouted out: “Someone come!”
The one who entered was Xu Mang. In half a day's time, he had already changed back into the commander's official robe, and his expression was even more respectful than before.
“What orders does Your Highness have?”
“It's you, Commander Xu's ability is appreciated by you, Your Highness has always admired you, I believe you will definitely do a good job with this commander position.”
“Your majesty is flattering me.”
“This is just a matter of business. You should go and bring the First Prince and Imperial Consort Yun to the palace. When the Royal Father wakes up, he should want to see them.”
The Commander Xu felt that this made sense, and went over without a doubt. The only reason he knew that Teng Yu brought people into the palace was because it was convenient for him to keep close watch, and the second reason was to agitate the Emperor.
Didn't they say that the Emperor could not be provoked? If Teng Yu wanted to be a filial son, then there must be someone who stood up to be such an unfilial son!
He temporarily didn't have the authority to punish Teng Yi, so why not let him continue to emit light and heat up?
