consternation
Hearing Xu Yan's words, the ministers' expressions became almost shocked. Even the Minister of Works and Wen Liang themselves were deeply surprised. Before Wen Liang could say anything, the Minister of Works stepped forward and bowed to Xu Yan and said, "Your Majesty, please take back Cheng's life! The Inuzi Wen Liang is just a first-rank official. How can he be the chief magistrate of the State? "
When the Minister of Works said this, sweat kept slipping from his forehead. He was afraid that others would misunderstand that he had already stood in Xu Yan's side, but he didn't want Xu Yan to feel that he had defected to Yun Lang, so he tried his best to remain silent and tried to reduce his presence. But he never expected that he would stand in front of everyone in this way.
He didn't know what the young empress wanted to do, was she trying to use them to distract others from the attention of others? But no matter what Xu Yan's real intention was, her desire to pull their clan into the water had been revealed, and he must not let this happen to them.
The situation is indeed as the Minister of Works thought. Although the ministers here did not make it clear on their faces, their private exchanges all revealed their doubts about the position of the Minister of Works. After all, no one would be willing to hand over such an important position as the governor of the country to someone who has nothing to do with his own faction. What's more, Xu Yan did not choose to hand over Peng Yue, who has always stood firmly in her faction, but to his son. Isn't this a hint?
But no one came out to talk about this. They vaguely felt that Xu Yan's decision could not be changed. I am afraid that no matter how much they said, they would not be able to shake her thoughts. If they were too impatient, they might even make themselves flirt with them. Naturally, watching the fire from the other side of the river is the most suitable for the situation at this time. Anyway, Yun Lang would not let Xu Yan's idea be implemented. They just need to stay here and watch the battles of these masters.
Xu Yan had already thought of their reaction before he proposed this candidate. Her eyes swept the expressions of every minister here. When she met Peng Yue's unconcealed surprise and a flash of clarity in her eyes, Xu Yan paused and quickly skipped over. Until the Minister of Works was talking nonsense, she was still thinking about Peng Yue's look. She must be wondering why she didn't hand over the position of the governor to her.
Xu Yan's heart was inexplicably panicked. She knew that she was selfish, but she was unwilling to tell Peng Yue about her dirty thoughts. She subconsciously felt that Peng Yue was not worthy of her belief. She felt inexplicably panicked when she looked at her, but she didn't understand where this feeling came from and did not dare to tell Peng Yue.
Just now, she suddenly had a bold idea. She wanted to cultivate Wen Liang as her new right-hand man. After all, mutual checks and balances can maintain a balance. Peng Yue has always existed as the only authoritative figure in her faction for the past six years. If a person has too much power, he will inevitably be fascinated by him. Therefore, Wen Liang is something she must use. Whether it is to check and balance Yun Lang's existence or the power to restrain Peng Yue, he is a unique talent.
In the silence, Xu Yan's eyes fell on Yun Lang without any warmth. She said lightly: "Gu Ming understands the thoughts of the adults. But the adults don't have to belittle themselves. Wen Liang is the new top scorer this year, and he can break Xu's record in just a few months and achieve the position of Guanglu Temple Minister. I believe his strength is beyond doubt."
Speaking of this, Xu Yan's eyes fell on Wen Liang who had not said anything for a while since he mentioned this topic, and continued: "If we talk about age and qualifications, I think that we should give young people more opportunities. Xu Guo is also at the time when he should move forward drastically. Injecting some vitality may not have unexpected results."
The ministers here knew that Xu Yan had made up his mind to use this new top scorer. It seemed that the days ahead would be even more exciting. They subconsciously turned their eyes to Yun Lang, not knowing how he would react after hearing Xu Yan's words. Yun Lang could clearly feel their gaze. Just as they were about to come out to dissuade Xu Yan from everyone's wishes, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the hall.
Xu Yan looked at the hunched figure in the audience who was trembling and constantly kowtowing to her, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. He kowtowed and said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, my son, I know. Wen Liang is weak and kind by nature, how can he be the supervisor of the country? His Majesty is already favored by his Majesty in his position as the Minister of Guanglu Temple. Why dare he imagine anything else? The old minister knelt down and asked Your Majesty to take back his life!"
The hoarse voice of the Minister of Works moved many ministers for a moment. Yes, although they looked like ministers who dominate the fate of the world, they were actually just playing chess pieces between the monarch and the high-ranking people. It is good to be valued, but when they lose their value, they will fall faster than others, because no matter what step they take, they will not change the identity of "chess pieces".
Even Xu Yan was hesitating whether to take back his life because it was so difficult for the Minister of Works, Wen Liang, the protagonist of the incident, finally stood up. Wen Liang still had the same gentle and gentle feeling, and he was not affected by these discussions at all. He walked calmly to the Minister of Works, and knelt down with him.
When Xu Yan saw this scene, he thought to himself: It's over, and if the master comes out and says he doesn't want to do it anymore, she can't force others to be the governor and take on this hot potato for her. Who would have thought that Wen Liang actually kowtowed to Xu Yan and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Liang knows His Majesty's desire to promote Wen Liang."
As soon as this sentence was said, Xu Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead. Listen, listen! Isn't this the beginning of the standard rejection answer? She listened without any hope, and Wenliang continued to say as she wished: "Wenliang thanks Your Majesty for this opportunity, and he will definitely not let Your Majesty down. I hope to set an example for young people in the world with good power and do my best to develop Xu's country!"
Alas, what she said, it was about to refuse. Wait, what did he say just now? Xu Yan raised his head in surprise and looked at Wen Liang's firm eyes. Strangely, Wen Liang gave people the feeling of being broken willows in April, and it was like a gentle and gentle warm wind. But at this moment, Xu Yan read in his eyes that was as tough as bamboo. This may be the true appearance of Wen Liang.
When the ministers heard Wen Liang's words, they all looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the son of the Minister of Works, who seemed to be indifferent to desire, would become a person with real power in Xu Guoxin after today! Their minds began to come alive, and they began to ponder Wen Liang's remarks and Xu Yan's direction. Of course, many people were worried at this time that Yun Lang would take action against Wen Liang and the Empress to regain this game.
However, although today's morning court made the situation that was not very clear has become more chaotic, one person's positioning has gradually become clear in the hearts of the ministers.
