The ministers were shocked, but no one dared to say a word.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "If one does not cultivate oneself, one cannot establish virtue. If one does not establish virtue, few can achieve success in their families, let alone in the world. I am young, and I dare not forget to study, because I am afraid of failing the people of Great Xia! Today, Li Nishang is plotting rebellion and trying to overthrow the foundation of Great Xia. Yang Guofu."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guofu immediately stood up and said, "I am here."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Yang Guofu and asked, "How do you think we should deal with this?"
Yang Guofu was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at his father with one eye, then immediately said, "The crime committed by Madam Li Nishang is extremely treasonous and she should be punished as well."
When he said this, Yang Guofu heard the tutor cough, and immediately changed his words and said, "All the people who worked with him should be implicated. But I know that although the Minister of Revenue Li Jiulang is Li Nishang's brother, the two of them are at odds with each other, so it must have nothing to do with this matter. Therefore, I think Li Jiulang has nothing to do with this matter."
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Yang Guofu, then looked at the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince was surprised to see Xia Fengxiang looking at him.
To be honest, today the Eighth Prince looked at Xia Fengxiang and felt that his niece was a little strange, but also a little familiar.
It felt strange because I had never seen my niece like this before.
It feels familiar because, damn, he looks exactly like my brother!
Immediately, the Eighth Prince stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that those who have caused chaos in Great Xia are guilty of unforgivable crimes and should be executed by slow slicing!"
Xia Fengxiang had a blank expression on his face and turned to walk towards the round altar.
But when he turned around and saw Su Changan, he reached out and took Su Changan's hand and walked towards the round altar. When he reached the top, he said, "I'll ask again, I want to make Su Changan the Queen Mother of the Great Xia Kingdom. Today, is there anyone who objects?"
As soon as these words came out.
Several people who knew the reason lowered their heads.
On that night almost two and a half months ago, more than half of the people in Wuyi Palace jumped out to oppose. Among them were several people from aristocratic families, the Eighth Prince, Yang Guofu, and the Queen Mother who jumped the most enthusiastically.
But times have changed!
These people lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Those who didn't know were all stunned.
Is there anyone who objects?
What's the meaning.
Has anyone objected before?
Or did His Majesty bring this up before?
Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to really ask, so they could only think about it.
At this time, Taifu Yang Shanchang came out, bowed and said, "The daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Su Chang'an, is both virtuous and talented, dignified and beautiful. She is also very compatible with Your Majesty, and is the best choice for the Queen Mother of Daxia."
The Grand Tutor was the first to step forward because he knew.
Your Majesty is not asking the ministers here, you are asking those who opposed that day.
Seeing his father like this, Yang Guofu naturally said immediately: "I also think that Miss Chang'an is the best choice for the Queen Mother."
Immediately
All the ministers stood up to express their support.
Xia Fengxiang saw that the Eighth Prince did not stand up or name anyone, so he just looked at him.
The Eighth Prince's heart trembled, and after cursing, he stood up and said, "I think so too."
All of a sudden, all the officials bowed in response.
Xia Fengxiang looked at the scene in front of him, still expressionless.
However, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang's action, thought for a moment, and whispered: "My wife is so majestic, so amazing."
Upon hearing this, Xia Fengxiang almost lost his composure and held Su Changan's hand harder.
Su Changan felt it, but tried not to laugh.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "Today's sacrifice is to pray for the candidates for the imperial examination, but it was disrupted by traitors. I feel ashamed of the students in the world, so I will grant another fifty names to make up for the fact that I did not pray for blessings today."
When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked. There were only 150 places available, which was a rare event in history.
But does anyone dare to object?
If you object, why don't you jump out and try it.
Therefore, all the civil and military officials bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Xia Fengxiang continued, "You all have been frightened today, so go back to your homes and rest. The prefect of Jingzhao should appease the people who came to watch the ceremony but got involved in it for no reason. Just tell them the truth, there is no need to hide it."
The prefect of Jingzhao immediately bowed.
Xia Fengxiang took a deep breath and said, "Return to the palace."
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I also know that it is not really over yet, after all, the things in the palace have not been resolved yet.
But this time.
Su Zifan took out the letter that he had just handed to Xia Fengxiang, then approached the Grand Tutor and deliberately said loudly, "Grand Tutor, Master Wen has a letter for me to pass on to you."
When these words were spoken, all the ministers were surprised.
The Jiedushi of Yizhou, who was in charge of military and political affairs, wrote a letter to the Taifu. This matter was both big and small.
But at this moment, Su Zifan took it out and shouted it so loudly on purpose.
Su Zifan is a bad guy!
So all the ministers looked towards the Grand Tutor.
Yang Guofu glared at Su Zifan with his one eye.
The Grand Tutor did not take the letter, but said: "Dao Ji asked General Su to help pass the letter at this critical moment. I think it is also about political affairs. Please submit it to Your Majesty for your review."
Xia Fengxiang had a blank expression on his face: "Take the letter that Wen Daoji gave you and read it yourself."
After saying that, he pulled Su Changan and walked towards the dragon chariot.
After looking at the Grand Tutor, the other ministers all bowed their heads, thinking about what happened today. The Queen Mother would not be able to escape.
But
After today, things will change in the court.
While thinking this, the ministers looked at the people from the Queen Mother's party. At this time, those people had already been stripped of their official hats and captured by the Chixia Army.
But the officials reviewed what had just happened.
I still feel scared.
After all, if Your Majesty makes a wrong calculation, you may end up dying and even killing them.
Thinking of this, everyone was impressed by His Majesty's plan.
I was even more moved that the Shen Ce Army had reappeared, and Su Zifan had come with the Liuzhou Black Cavalry.
Step by step, it was obviously all planned.
but
Thinking of this, many officials looked at the future queen Su Changan who was also on the dragon chariot.
The shock Su Changan gave them today was not caused by carelessness at all.
Such strange strength, such swordsmanship.
But when they thought of this, they all frowned, because they all thought of Su Changan coughing up blood at the last moment.
How could such a talented man of both civil and military talents fall into such a serious illness?
Among the civil and military officials, some were sad and some were ecstatic.
The people who were worried were naturally the officials from the aristocratic families, but actually they were still relatively lucky because they had already begun to support His Majesty.
The ones who are really worried are Yan Jingqing and other people who are part of the Taifu party.
Without any organization, these people came behind the Taifu consciously.
Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing supported the tutor on the left and right.
Taifu Yang Shanchang said, "Let everyone go home. His Majesty said that everyone should go home and rest. If there is anything, we can talk about it after this matter is settled."
Yan Jingqing nodded: "Yes."
Then he immediately turned around and whispered a few words to the officials behind him.
Then, he bowed to the Taifu and left.
all of a sudden.
Yang Guofu was the only one by the Grand Tutor's side.
The Grand Tutor whispered, "You will send someone to deliver the letter to the palace later. His Majesty will not read it and will send it back. You can read it later. Remember, all letters sent from Dao Ji in the future should be forwarded to His Majesty first."
Yang Guofu nodded: "Okay."
The Grand Tutor raised his eyes to look at the dragon chariot that had already set off, and then continued in a low voice, "Don't use your cleverness on Dao Ji in the future. When you go back today, close the door and refuse to see anyone. I'm going to the government office to start the interrogation, and I won't be home for the next few days. Remember! Even if Jing Qing and the others come, you can't see them! Also, after reading the letter, write a letter back to Dao Ji and give it to Su Zifan, and ask him to pass it on."
Yang Guofu nodded repeatedly: "I will send the letter to the palace as soon as I get back. But Dad, this matter."
The Grand Tutor glared at Yang Guofu and said, "Don't think about things that you shouldn't think about. You just need to remember that as long as Dao Ji is here, we are here! You can't take a penny from the salt tax ship in Yulang. When you go home, take out some more from your private treasury, and then write a letter to them, saying that the Ministry of Works has been keeping extra silver to repair the altar, and the extra can be used to reward the Shen Ce Army and Liuzhou Black Cavalry."
Yang Guofu felt a little painful, but still nodded.
The Grand Tutor let go of Yang Guofu's hand and turned to walk towards the Supreme Court Minister Dugu Ruyuan and the Minister of Justice.
After Su Zimu gave his younger brother Su Zifan some instructions, he walked towards Dugu Ruyuan and the others.
The interrogation cannot be delayed, especially since Your Majesty has only given them three days.
And on the dragon chariot.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, who had seen clearly the whispering between the Grand Tutor and Yang Guofu, turned their heads at this moment.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and asked, "Are you really okay after coughing up blood just now?"
Su Changan nodded: "I feel much better after vomiting."
Xia Fengxiang nodded doubtfully, but then asked, "How dare you hide it from me?"
