Chapter 232 Guessing the Holy Will

Yan Qing and Wen Jin did not stay in Nuange for too long. As soon as they approved a few Zhezi, several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel came to see them, saying that they wanted to ask for His Majesty's instructions regarding Enke.

Yan Qing and Wen Jin had no choice but to move the memorial back to Qinzheng Hall and let the ministers in.

When they first came to Dabao, both of them were still a little uncomfortable - Yan Qing had always been accustomed to doing things his own way. In this palace where the overall situation was always the top priority and the emperor's majesty needed to be maintained at all times, he felt uncomfortable after just one day.

As expected, the palace was not as comfortable as her princess palace, and there were not many lovely civil and military officials in the dynasty. He couldn't make up his mind about matters that he was responsible for, so he had to come to her for advice?

She had to decide everything, what food did she want them to eat?

At this moment, Yan Qing didn't even think about how much psychological shadow his sudden ascension to the throne had caused to the ministers. In the past, the estranged Tiansha Lone Star, who everyone was afraid of, suddenly became their emperor, and he was also a son who liked to arrest people when he disagreed. As a slave to the emperor, how dare the ministers not be more cautious?

Moreover, the country has a new master, which means that many things can no longer follow the previous rules. The ministers are afraid of offending the new master and causing trouble for themselves, so it is normal to be cautious.

However, with Wen Jin, a well-rounded imperial husband, Her Majesty the Queen has less to worry about. She can still choose to follow her own temper in everything. The powerful minister will definitely handle it well for her, and her Majesty will not have to worry at all.

Time flies so fast, and a day flies by in a hurry.

The next morning, the memorials from the four vassal kings were presented to the imperial court. Yan Qing looked around at the civil and military officials of the court and said, "The vassal princes guarding the four directions have submitted the memorials. They should be able to arrive at the imperial city tomorrow night. Do you have anything to say? ?”

The ministers had nothing to say.

The vassal kings from all over the world contributed a lot to Yan Qing's successful ascension to the throne. They were all people who declared their allegiance to Yan Qing in advance. When he came to Beijing now, he was naturally a celebrity in front of Her Majesty the Queen, so he should be given a grand reception.

However, the four vassal kings hold heavy troops and are popular men now. It is hard to say whether they will become a serious problem in the future.

"It is against the rules for the four vassal kings to enter the capital without an edict, but His Majesty has just ascended the throne. It is understandable that they are here to congratulate His Majesty." Shangshu said respectfully, "But the four vassal princes are military generals after all. I think they You can only bring a few personal guards into the palace, and you cannot bring more troops or horses, otherwise it will be detrimental to your majesty's safety. "

"Master Ji is right, I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Other ministers nodded: "Without an imperial edict, the vassal king cannot enter the capital at will..."

But everyone is here, and His Majesty doesn't look angry, so naturally he will be treated as a hero.

After all, they are the heroes to begin with.

The Minister of Rites went out to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty plans to host a banquet for the four vassal kings tomorrow night?"

"There's no rush." ​​Yan Qing said calmly, "They came here in such a hurry and are tired from the journey. Let them rest for a day. The palace banquet will be held when I am free."

The Minister of Rites was stunned for a moment. Will we wait until he is free?

Does Your Majesty want to entertain them, or does he not want to entertain them?

The four vassal kings are guests. If they are treated lightly, will the four vassal kings be dissatisfied?

"There's one more thing." Yan Qing ignored the concerns of the Minister of Rites, "The Kingdom of Chu has just changed a prince, and this prince will also come to Dayong in the near future. I have just ascended the throne, and the national treasury is not very rich, and Enke is also It costs money, so save when you can. The palace banquet will be arranged after the prince of Chu comes, so that you can save a lot of unnecessary expenses. "

ah?

Not only the Minister of Rites was stunned, but other ministers also looked at each other, this...

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" The Minister of War stepped out of the queue and bowed, "The four kings Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu all have heavy troops. They have meritorious service in guarding the four directions. They are also the first to declare their allegiance this time. Your Majesty, if you treat them slowly, I'm afraid the four kings will have some thoughts in their minds and arouse the suspicion of the emperor and his ministers. "

Suspicion?

Yan Qing sneered coldly, with an indifferent tone: "The four kings have a lot of troops, which is a disaster. If they really dare to become dissatisfied, wouldn't I be able to take the opportunity to get rid of them?"

As soon as these words came out, the officials all changed their expressions: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Hurrah, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison to ask His Majesty to think twice and never make a rash decision, otherwise it would lead to bloodshed.

Yan Qing sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, with a cold voice: "The princes of the four vassals hold troops and horses to guard one side. They are the loyal ministers and generals of Yong Dynasty. Their duty is to protect the family and the country, and to guard the territory. Without you guys Literary men have so many thoughts and are always trying to speculate on the Holy Will. A palace banquet can tell whether I have treated them lightly. So you might as well guess now, do you want to kill someone today? "

"Your Majesty is wise! I deserve to die!"

Wen Jin stood aside, watching the menacing pressure in Yan Qing's brows and eyes tenderly, and slowly bowed: "The ministers are also loyal. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
