Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

272 Worrying about filling the vacancy

Zhao Youting, the Eighth Sage King, also spent a lot of thought and effort in promoting Ni Qi to be the Minister of Honglu Temple.

Knowing that the influence of himself and his third elder brother King Qi was not enough, he went around secretly and colluded with some of the more important cronies he had won over in the court.

During the day, Nanqing Prime Minister Zuo Mingyang was sitting in the Zhongshu Provincial Judgment Hall.

Suddenly, a member of Zhongshushe hurriedly opened the door and broke in, bowed down, and shouted loudly, "Your Prime Minister!"

The right minister and the left Ming Yang's expression tightened, and he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

The old eunuch Li De next to the emperor Zhao An was following behind Zhongshu Sheren, and it turned out that he had come to deliver an edict to Zuo Mingyang.

"Your Excellency, the emperor sent you to the Palace of Dezheng for an audience. He said that he has something urgent to discuss with you." The chief eunuch Li De conveyed the emperor's will.

"Oh, Eunuch Li, thank you for your hard work, I know the truth."

Zuo Mingyang replied to the old eunuch Li De, then turned his head and asked the Zhongshu Sheren beside him in bewilderment: "Has Zhongshu Sheng taken over any important matters recently, the emperor must rush to tell me to meet you?"

The people in Zhongshushe still had panicked faces, and hurriedly bowed to Zuo Mingyang, and with trembling hands, they presented the memorial signed by all the ministers to the prime minister Zuo Mingyang.

"Enxiang, this is a memorandum jointly signed by all the ministers of the imperial court to the emperor, recommending Ni Qi, the young minister of Taichang Temple, to be appointed as the Minister of Honglu Temple!"

Zuo Mingyang took the memorial and opened it to read it. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he fell backwards, leaning against the back of the chair behind him.

Seeing this, the Zhongshu Sheren rushed forward to support him: "Your Honor, what should we do now?"

Zuo Mingyang didn't speak for a long time, and finally he let out his breath slowly and sighed: "What's the big deal?"

"It is expected that the imperial court has nothing important to do recently. It turns out that the emperor is hesitating and worrying about Mr. Ni's promotion."

Zhongshusheren looked at Zuo Mingyang who looked stunned, and said, "Your Honor, I don't know if you agree or disagree with this matter?"

"Should I first find out what the emperor is thinking at this time, if this violates the Sacred Heart, Longyan will be furious, I'm afraid..."

Zuo Mingyang stood up suddenly, as if he had already made up his mind and said, "Go and do your own essential work right away, and you won't have to worry about these things!"

At the end, Zuo Mingyang faced the old eunuch Li De who was still standing aside, and said, "Eunuch Li, please wait for a long time, I will follow you into the palace to face the saint!"

Hearing Zuo Mingyang's words, Zhongshusheren didn't dare to disobey the slightest mistake, so he hurriedly followed suit and hurriedly quit.

Zuo Mingyang changed into his court clothes, followed Li De, the chief eunuch in the palace, boarded the carriage that had been prepared outside the door, and went straight to the palace!

Yi actually served as the shadow guard of the right minister Zuo Mingyang, and he seemed to be a ghost hidden in his shadow, always following and protecting him.

He doesn't show his appearance, and his general strength is not enough, or ordinary people can't even notice his existence.

In the Dezheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor Zhao An and the Empress were chatting about their royal household.

Fearing that the Tianmeng iron cavalry in the north would go south and invade at any time, Zhao An paid more and more attention to the queen.

He also thought that since the queen is the relative of the princess of the Tianmeng Grassland Empire, she could slow down or dissuade the Tianmeng iron cavalry from marching south, so that he could survive for a while.

Anyway, the world is so big, the Tianmeng army can continue to conquer other countries, temporarily put Nanqing aside, so that Nanqing can get a chance to breathe.

At this moment, the servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the right minister sees you!"

"Oh? The Prime Minister is finally here, why did it take so long?" Nanqing Emperor Zhao An said suspiciously to himself!

"Your Majesty, why don't the concubines go to see him first, and if there is nothing important, I won't disturb Your Majesty's rest!" The queen next to him immediately answered the words!

"It's better not to bother you, Queen, I called him in, and I have something important to discuss with him."

After answering the queen's words, Zhao An immediately ordered the servant again! "Show him in!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhao An didn't pay attention to her words, the queen stepped aside in embarrassment!

The waiter let out a cry and backed out!

Not a while later, he came back with Prime Minister Zuo Mingyang!

Right Prime Minister Zuo Mingyang followed the servant to the Hall of Virtue, with a slightly panicked look on his face.

When they saw the emperor Zhao An and the queen, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Minister Zuo Mingyang kowtows to His Majesty! Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Ah, right minister, you are here," Emperor Zhao An hurriedly got up and greeted right minister Zuo Mingyang.

This kind of courtesy is really rare. Obviously, Emperor Zhao An is very dependent on his right minister and Zuo Mingyang, and treats him with extra courtesy.

"Your Prime Minister, Lian knows that you are busy with government affairs every day, worrying about the overall situation of the court day and night." Emperor Zhao An held the hand of Right Minister Zuo Mingyang, seeming to appease and complain to him.

"But who told me that I had to invite you to talk about what was in my heart when I encountered something in my heart, you won't blame me for bothering you too much, would you?"

"The reward of eating the emperor is the matter of being loyal to the emperor!" The right minister Zuo Mingyang bowed back!

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of being a courtier. I hope that Your Majesty will not take the little hard work of a humble minister for granted!"

"Okay, let's not talk about these gossips for now," Zhao An finally changed his tone, "I came to you today because I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh? I don't know what troubles His Majesty has encountered. It is the crime of the courtiers to make the Lord worry, and the humble ministers are terrified."

Right Prime Minister Zuo Mingyang actually knew what Zhao An was going to ask him, but he was not in a hurry to say it clearly!

"Well, Prime Minister, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Honglu Temple Minister and Shaoqing were both murdered by a group of black wizards headed by prince Nikunda who lurk into the capital city of the Star Luo Kingdom in Nanqing, and murdered them with the crimson head technique!"

Zhao An said to the right minister Zuo Mingyang: "Now the case has been completely cracked by the Eighth Prince and it has been declared over, but the positions of Minister of the Honglu Temple and Shaoqing in the imperial court are vacant."

"I've been worrying about this for the past few days, and I want to ask for your opinion. Among the hundreds of officials below the third rank in the court, who do you think is the most suitable to be the Minister of Honglu Temple?"

Hearing what the emperor Zhao An said, the right minister Zuo Mingyang gasped, because he didn't know the emperor's true psychological intentions, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.

I had no choice but to ask back: "I wonder if Your Majesty has the most suitable candidate in mind?"

"I..." Zhao An smiled wryly.

"Of course I have the most suitable candidate in my heart, but I can't do whatever I want and act on my whim."

"You have to obey the hearts of all the ministers in the court, and you can't make the ministers' teeth and hearts cold!"

"Your Majesty, you already have an idea, so naturally everything should be done according to your idea." Right Chancellor Zuo Mingyang said with some panic!

"The opinions of the courtiers are just for reference, and all decision-making power is still in your hands."

The emperor Zhao An screamed, and couldn't help but take two steps back, and the queen also froze on the spot!
