Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine - Chapter 3564

Three days later, Zhu Feng announced in the cabinet that he would use troops against the country.

This decision naturally aroused great repercussions, especially Gu Tingqiu, the cabinet’s first assistant, who could not even wait to discuss with other cabinet ministers, and expressed his opposition fiercely when Zhu Feng’s voice just fell.

For him, after the emperor ascended the throne, although no large-scale war broke out in the country, the border wars continued, especially in the past few years, in order to deal with the Yue Kingdom, the invisible wear and tear in the country was extremely serious. Only when the exchanges and trade between overseas countries became more frequent, it was slowly recovering a little bit of vitality.

In this case, it is even more necessary to grasp the period of peace and let the common people recuperate well.

If they use troops against the country again, they will be implicated in the war again, and the peaceful life of the common people will be disrupted, and it will be miserable.

Looking at the old minister who was kneeling in front of him, making a sincere statement, Zhu Feng was very calm, he just raised his hand and said, “Gu Qing, you get up first and then speak.”

Gu Tingqiu knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Zhu Feng frowned slightly, but he was not angry, he just sighed, and said, “I understand Gu Qing’s concern. However, I have a word, and you all listen to me. The common people really need to rest and recuperate, but Abandoned weapons cannot make peace.”

After hearing this, the other ministers who have stood up look at me and I look at you.

Everyone quieted down.

Zhu Feng continued: “Since the day the Kingdom of Kui and our Dayan Dynasty were established side by side, he has been a serious problem to our country’s confidant, a knife hanging over my Dayan Dynasty’s head. If he stays for a day, the Dayan Dynasty will not be peaceful. .”

Gu Tingqiu knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty’s words are naturally reasonable, but the people in the country have just cultivated for the past few years, and they really can’t stand such a war.”

“…”

At this time, a trace of impatience appeared on Zhu Feng’s face.

He said lightly: “Gu Qing, the common people can’t stand it. You can’t explain it in one sentence here. I have my own opinions on national affairs.”

“His Majesty!”

Gu Tingqiu kowtowed again and again, and said, “I am willing to ask Your Majesty to take it back.”

Zhu Feng frowned.

Several ministers standing around look at me, I look at you, and their faces have changed.

They can clearly feel that the emperor and the minister of the cabinet are on the top, and neither side is willing to retreat. However, the minister is the minister, how can it be possible to stand up to the emperor?

Several people persuaded: “Master Gu, let’s talk about some things slowly.”

“Yeah, speak slowly.”

“This matter is a major matter, and it still needs to be discussed in the long run.”

Gu Tingqiu insisted on kneeling on the ground, begging His Majesty the emperor to think twice, Zhu Feng looked at him coldly for a while, then got up and said, “It is already the result of me thinking twice before making an announcement. It’s you who persuade me Think twice, have you thought twice? I’ll give you one day, go back and think about it.”

After speaking, he walked away.

The tit-for-tat between the emperor and the cabinet ministers, although this is a big event, but the scope is only in the cabinet, except that Nan Yan saw some clues in Zhu Feng’s unhappy expression, and the others did not. I know, only a few ministers probably knew about this, and they all went to Gu Mansion to see Gu Tingqiu, trying to persuade and reconcile, but all the people failed to knock on the door of Gu Mansion, and only news came out that he Sick, not far away.

Seeing this situation, everyone thought that he was really “thinking about it behind closed doors” and had to think twice before doing anything.

However, the next morning, Gu Tingqiu called for sick leave.

Hearing this news, Zhu Feng’s face was cold, and the other cabinet ministers looked at me, I looked at you, and some people had cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Everyone understands that at Gu Tingqiu’s age, it is not uncommon for him to take sick leave, but he was at the top of the cabinet with the emperor yesterday. protest.

For a while, the entire hall fell silent.

I don’t know how long it took before I heard the emperor sitting on the dragon chair let out a chuckle, someone dared to raise their eyes and glanced, only to see Zhu Feng’s face is also light, not even angry, he said: “Gu Qing is very old and sick, so he should be given more rest. Come on, go to his house and pass on my oral instructions, and let Gu Qing rest well, as long as he can, and there is no need for the affairs of the court. He’s not worried anymore.”

“…!”

The ministers in the hall couldn’t help but gasped.

Xiao Shunzi didn’t dare to hesitate, she answered and immediately took the people out of the palace to Gu’s mansion in a hurry.

Zhu Feng lowered his head and looked at the silenced ministers in the hall again, his face was still light, and he couldn’t see any angry smile, he said calmly: “Aiqings, think about it, if anyone else is sick, you should sue them. If you are on sick leave, say it earlier, and I will arrange it earlier. If you are not sick, then go back and do your own thing. ”

How dare everyone say anything, they all said that they are in good health and will die for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the court.

Then the ministers withdrew.

If the previous day was just a small conflict between two people in the cabinet, then on this day, Zhu Feng has completely put Gu Tingqiu on the shelf. Although he still has the title of cabinet minister, he has no power at all, and his Sick leave, also at the behest of the emperor, was extended indefinitely.

This incident soon spread throughout the former harem.

Even Concubine Yi, who has always been very disciplined and never talked about the affairs of the government easily, couldn’t help but stay alone after everyone came to ask the concubine to leave, and asked Nan Yan worriedly: “This matter will not have anything to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. influence?”

No one else in the harem has a son, and everyone loves the prince very much. Although His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, everyone knows very well that in the next few decades, they will also live under the prince’s hands. .

Therefore, everyone is very worried about this matter.

The emperor neglected His Royal Highness’s father-in-law, will it have any impact on the status of the prince?

Nan Yanzheng took a pair of scissors to cut the flowers and branches of a potted plant on the table. Hearing this, he only looked up at Concubine Yi who was worried, and then smiled lightly: “Master Gu is Master Gu, and the prince is the prince, so I can’t marry. When a daughter passes by, her life and wealth are linked together, right?”

Yi Fei frowned slightly.

Is not it?

Although under His Majesty’s eyes, the court did not dare to form parties for selfishness, let alone any princelings, but the prince is the future emperor, and of course he must have his own powerful confidants. Isn’t that also for this?

Now, with just a few words, the highly respected Master Gu has been suppressed, how can people not be worried?
