Chapter 161
The early court has not yet started, and the court is already in chaos.
Before Chu Tingxiao came, the ministers were discussing a lot, and they were all reluctant to let Chu Yi set up his own secret guard.
After being scolded by Gu Chengqi, Feng Jia kept her mouth shut.
However, even though he kept his mouth shut, other people in the DPRK were still unwilling to allow a woman to form such a secret guard.
"Even if the guards in the palace can't protect the princess' safety, can't His Majesty's dark hall also be able to protect it? As a princess, not to mention taking charge of the Habayashi Army, but also creating a new army, it's simply nonsense, losing the etiquette of the ancestors!"
"The hidden guard of Princess Tiao was originally a member of the Habayashi Army under her command. He just created a new organization, so how did he rise to etiquette?" Gu Chengqi continued to ask, rolling his eyes at the speaker.
These pedantic people really have nothing else to do except staring at Yi'er all day long.
Cen Zijing also stood on the side of the princess, looked around the crowd, and asked slowly:
"Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just a few hundred people. After careful calculation, there should be hundreds of soldiers in the servants' homes, right? A first-rank official, or a prince, should not have more than 200 soldiers in his family, right?"
Cen Zi respectfully said that his family, Cen Xiao, is now serving in the Yulin Army. He heard that the salary of being selected into the hidden guard will be doubled. If Cen Xiao becomes the commander of the hidden guard, he will be the next Su Xuan.These treacherous people are just envious and jealous.
"Wait, I'm waiting, those are not government soldiers, but family members and female relatives, Cen Zijing, don't confuse the public." One person explained stammeringly.
At this time, a minister suddenly stood up with a gloomy expression.
This minister did not belong to any party. Feng Jia, Fan Qian and the others were overjoyed. It seemed that even ordinary courtiers could not stand what Princess Yongning did, and they were about to come forward to oppose it.
The minister coughed, and asked inexplicably: "It's okay for the princess to choose some elites who are loyal to her to create hidden guards, but the old minister just wants to know why she chose these dark guards, not to mention martial arts, but also..."
"what else?"
"You still have to look at your face?!"
"The old minister's grandson is a member of the Habayashi Army. He has admired the princess for a long time. He wanted to join this hidden guard but couldn't find a way. He has bothered the old man for three days and three nights!" the minister roared.
"Isn't he just born with an ugly face, how can you discriminate against him. Woohoo."
Others: "..." Dare to say that you are not against the princess, but against the princess who chooses people based on their merits.
"Princess judges people by appearance, is she choosing a secret guard for herself, or... a staff member for herself?" Fan Qian asked coldly, his heart moved.
"Is the prime minister's remarks tarnishing my Yongning's reputation?"
Chu Tingxiao's deep voice came from the back of the hall.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live—"
After all the officials paid homage, they bowed their heads one by one and remained silent.
Chu Tingxiao sat on the dragon chair, frowned, and said coldly, "Speak up, why don't you Aiqing continue to talk? When I didn't come, you were very good at talking, why did I show up?" , have become dumb?"
A Minister of the Xiangdang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't want to slander Princess Yongning, but because of the princess's actions, I reminded me of... what the eldest princess of Nanyang did in the past."
"That's right, before the Eldest Princess, she raised a troupe of actors in the mansion and had fun all day long. I am worried that Princess Yongning will follow in her footsteps. She is young and has not yet married..."
"What's wrong with being young? When you're young, you should have more fun and live up to your youth! What's wrong with the eldest princess? My family's well-educated actress listens to music because she likes to listen to music. Have you eaten your corn?"
The eldest princess' son-in-law Fu Zhili suddenly replied, his gentle voice was full of gloom, and his expression was extremely displeased.
The ministers who spoke did not expect Fu Zhili to speak, and they all showed embarrassment.
Who would have thought that the son-in-law, who used to be indifferent to what the eldest princess did, would now speak on the side of the eldest princess.
This Great Yan Dynasty Hall seems to be about to change.
Chu Zhao was among those who went to court today, his face was paler than usual, and he never spoke.
Hearing Fu Zhili's words, Chu Zhao's gaze swept over him, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Fan Qian said: "Your Majesty, I am also worried that Princess Yongning created such a secret guard just on a whim and as a joke. She is still a child. If this secret guard is not supervised properly and acts as a dominance in Beijing, wouldn't it be detrimental?" Royal majesty—"
His words stopped abruptly, and together with everyone else, he stared blankly at a group of guards who suddenly appeared at the door.
These people were dressed in black robes embroidered with dark golden flying crane patterns, dark red luan belts, and embroidered long knives around their waists. Each of them had a gloomy and cold aura, slowly walking in from the entrance of the hall like ghosts, and The surrounding imperial guards stood together.
Upon closer inspection, the people dressed as these guards are all young, and the oldest one seems to be only years old, and one is more handsome than the other.
The temperature in the originally grand and splendid hall seemed to drop suddenly.
"These are, who are they?"
A minister looked at the emperor and murmured in fear.
In fact, they already knew the identities of these people, but the sense of oppression brought by these people was so strong that it made them terrified.
Chu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and observed with great interest. As expected of the elites selected by Liuliu, all of them are really eye-catching, much more pleasing to the eye than the group of half-dead people in his dark hall.
"Look, learn." The emperor whispered to Zhang Desheng beside him.
Zhang Desheng nodded again and again: "Yes, the slave will learn, the slave will learn immediately, the princess is really talented!"
"How dare these guards break into the Hall of Supreme Harmony? Your Majesty, is the princess going to rebel?" A minister mustered up his courage to question.
"The Queen Mother arrives—"
After all these hidden guards came in and stood in line, a sound came from all over the place.
Only then did the courtiers come to their senses, and looked again tremblingly, only to see the hale and hearty Empress Dowager Rong in a phoenix robe, walking in unhurriedly with the support of Princess Yongning.
Chu Tingxiao quickly stood up, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
"The ministers welcome the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!" The ministers bowed their heads collectively, hiding the confusion and surprise in their eyes.
Why did Queen Mother Rong come?They have the same doubts as the emperor.
One must know that since His Majesty ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Rong has been in the palace all year round to pay respects to the Buddha, and has never been involved in court affairs. Since His Majesty ascended the throne for nearly five years, except for the annual birthday banquet and offering sacrifices to heaven, Empress Dowager Rong will not appear at other times.
Empress Dowager Rong patted Chu Yi's hand lightly to comfort her, snorted coldly, and said in a strong voice, "Yi'er don't need to be afraid, Ai Jia, I will support you."
"The Ai family wants to see who is going to bully Yi'er."
Courtier: Why don't you see who the princess wants to bully.
