In the morning, the time for burning incense is over.
Hundred officials usually go to court at Mao hour and go to court after Chen hour. Now they go to court as soon as they go to court with a stick of incense, which is unprecedentedly fast.
There is also an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in the next court...
Everyone walked out of the hall and sighed for a while. The emperor personally led all the officials to welcome him. How great an honor is this?
Even the family of generals who had made the most military exploits had never received such treatment. How could Xiang Minghou, Chen Rentian and the others deserve it?
"Even if there is something hidden about what happened back then, isn't Miss Xiang alive? The capital has caused such trouble because of a few of them. It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't punish her. Why does she have to lead us officials to greet them?"
“Hey, I have never heard of any minister who dared to let the emperor lead hundreds of officials to greet him, and he is not afraid of losing his life to Marquis Xiang Ming.”
“Your Majesty must have taken such a decision very seriously in his heart. Otherwise, how could he have… eh…”
How could he insult the majesty of the emperor and greet a sinner who broke into the palace and killed people?
Hundred officials went down the steps and sighed and discussed in a low voice.
Even if they are unwilling, they must go according to the emperor's decree. However, the treatment after entering the city after Xiang Minghou enters the city will be different.
Anyone whom the emperor welcomes personally dares to stir up trouble with the Marquis of Ming in the capital, it is an insult to the emperor's face.
Prince Helian and Prince Changyang walked down the steps side by side. During this period, the two of them did not say a word. They did not speak until Sang Qi blocked their way.
“See Prince.”
“See Prince.”
“You two uncles don’t need to be polite.”
“Etiquette cannot be broken, Prince, what’s the matter?” Prince Helian asked.
“Uncle Wang, don’t you have anything to say about your father welcoming Xiang Minghou?” Sang Qi clasped his hands behind his back and looked stern.
Prince Helian shook his head: "I will obey the holy order."
“Uncle Wang.” Sang Qi called out loudly.
"No one can influence the emperor's decision. Moreover, the royal family was too cold-blooded in what happened back then. Since the emperor wants to go out of the city to welcome him, so be it. Besides..." Prince Changyang was rather irritable. After being poked in the arm by Prince Helian, He spoke softly: "That's right."
Prince Helian saluted Sang Qi: "Prince, I have to go and prepare first."
After saying that, he pulled the angry Prince Changyang and left in a hurry.
Sang Qi stood there in a daze. He didn't know when the voice of the early morning gradually disappeared. Those arguments all followed the sound of his father's voice getting louder and louder.
Such a court...
What’s the use!
Prince Helian pulled Prince Changyang out of a palace gate before letting go of his hand, saying dissatisfiedly: "Look at what you just said."
"What? Shouldn't it be right? The daughter of a general who has made great military exploits for Beili is not allowed to be buried on Beili's land. That's what the emperor of a country can do for a five- or six-year-old child who died tragically to protect the royal blood. This king has nothing to say, nothing to say about such a thing!"
Over the years, Prince Changyang has seen clearly what kind of person the emperor sitting in the high position is.
“Hey, he really should, so I didn’t raise any objections about bringing hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him. The prince’s character seems to be pretty good in some aspects. With more help, he will be able to achieve a big job in the future.”
Prince Changyang didn’t refute what he said. He still puffed his beard and stared: “Let’s take a look.”
"This summer, there are floods in the south and the north at the same time. It's good for him to be able to stay in one side. The south can be relieved for a while, but the north can't. We uncles can't watch him suffer." Prince Helian said.
Prince Changyang snorted and stopped talking.
“Let’s work together again.” Prince Helian reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
