Three days later, the court ceremony was held again in the royal palace in Yecheng and in the Chaotian Hall.

Yuan Xi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked a little ugly, and his eyes through the pearl curtain were filled with murderous intent. The atmosphere in the hall was a little depressed, and the ministers lowered their heads one after another.

"Yesterday, I received a memorial, saying that I did not inherit the legacy of the rituals and literati of the Han Dynasty. Whenever I was in court, the ministers stood and sat alone, with their legs exhausted, so that I could imitate the Han Dynasty, sit and discuss the truth, and assist in the yin and yang. To put it bluntly, I would like to prepare a kneeling mat for each of you to rest. I wanted to ask, who wrote the letter at this time!" Yuan Xi asked with a smile as if he pretended to be ignorant.

The ministers suddenly felt a trembling in their hearts. They had already discovered this problem. For four hundred years, ministers at all levels were kneeling and only stood up when they wrote a letter. The king and the officials ruled the world together. However, when they arrived at the King of Yan, they not only directly abolished this convention, but also knelt three times in court and three times in court, and stood up throughout the ceremony. At first, they had some opinions. However, as Yuan Xi's prestige became higher and higher, especially after the two tribes were eliminated, they were all shrouded under the king's power, and they were trembling.

Jiang Wan, who stood among all the officials, even sweat appeared on her forehead. After he entered Dayan, Zhuge Liang told him that in the entire Dayan, the royal power was supreme and the inspector's power was huge. Not only should we investigate and deal with the discipline of officials at all levels, but we should also pay attention to the loyalty of officials and the king. If this is not handled well, no matter how good the others are, it is still fake. Now Chen Tanzhi's words touch on this aspect. How can this make him, the inspector's censor, nervous?

Many central ministers all looked solemn.

"Report to the king, it was the minister who submitted the memorial." At this time, a young official standing behind the officials stood up. He looked extraordinary and had a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"It turned out to be Chen Yicao." Yuan Xi smiled. The man who came out was really Chen Tan from the Chen family, one of the four major families in the late Han Dynasty. After the big exam, he was granted the position of Ang Cao, walking on the Shangshutai and participating in political affairs, without much real power.

Chen Tan's face calmed down and he said with his fists: "I wrote this to you, and there is no intention to despise the king's power. It's just that the Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years because it respected the literati and officials, so all officials were diligent, government affairs were smooth, and people were at ease."

Yuan Xi raised his lips and said with a smile: "So, if I don't give you a seat, Chen Yicao will not plan to do his best to serve Da Yan."

Chen Tan was shocked and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I will never have this idea."

"Haha, don't be nervous. You actually said it very well. You are very happy to give advice. If you come, you will reward Chen and discuss three pieces of Cao Meiyu." Yuan Xi said gently.

"King Xie" Chen Tan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of pride flashed across his face.

Yuan Xi smiled loudly and waved: "Sanqigong!"

"The king, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years," the ministers knelt down again to show their way.

When the ministers left, Pang Tong, who was walking behind, looked at Chen Tan who was guarded by several officials, smiled disdainfully, and whispered to Xu Shu with an ugly face, "Yuan Zhi, you have misunderstood this time. Chen Tan is a little talented, but he wants to show himself too much. The king did this to determine the supremacy of the royal power. He dared to show off his power. It is estimated that the Military Control Commission will come to him soon."

Xu Shu immediately made a ban gesture, but there was also a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He originally wanted to transfer Chen Tan to the Privy Council, but now it seems that it is impossible. Even if you can't see through such a thing, how could the king let him take charge of the army?

"Two sirs stay, the king will call you to meet you." Not long after, an eunuch ran over and whispered.

After Pang Tong and Xu Shu nodded, they immediately headed towards Huagai Palace. Halfway through the way, they suddenly saw Zhang Nan, the commander of the Military Command, coming over with a ugly face.

"Commander Zhang" Xu Shu and Pang Tong immediately said politely.

"Oh! It turns out they are two adults!" Zhang Nan reluctantly smiled and returned a bow.

"Commander, it seems that your face is not very good," Xu Shu asked with concern.

"It's okay, I didn't do anything well, I was scolded by the king." Zhang Nan said with a wry smile, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes.

Pang Tong smiled slightly and stood out: "The Military Control Commission is the weapon of the king. Its members are spread throughout the world, independent of all departments, and has the right to take action first and then report. Anyone who dares to offend the king's power should be erased immediately."

Zhang Nan was stunned, knowing that Pang Tong probably understood what was going on, and said with his fists: "Pang Sima is at ease, the Military Commission will never allow any unfaithful ministers to exist, say goodbye."

"Farewell"

After Zhang Nan left, Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu and smiled and said, "I'm right!"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and walked towards the Huagai Palace. It was not worth his troubles.

After coming to Huagai Hall, they saw that except for them, the left prime minister Li Ru, the right prime minister Tian Feng, the Shangshu Ling Han Yan, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Jiang Wan and others all arrived.

After the ministers gave their respect, Jiang Wan suddenly stood up in shame and said, "I am the Prime Minister and the Supervisor, and the Supervisor, have not fulfilled their duties and responsibilities. Please punish the king."

Because Yuan Xi rewarded Chen Tan, he could not say it directly, but he needed to express his attitude.

"Haha, Gong Yan's heart is all my heart. This time I call you here is about Hanzhong," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"King, has Zhang Lu asked for help?" Pang Tong asked.

"Yes, Zhang Lu from Hanzhong sent a letter to ask for help, saying that if he forced Cao Cao to retreat, he would like to present Hanzhong County in the future. What do you think?" Yuan Xi asked.

"This is a trick. What does it mean to be the future? If I, Dayan, defeat Cao Cao in the future, will only be just a piece of meat in Hanzhong?" Xu Shu said disdainfully.

"Yuan Zhi was right, but from another perspective, I, Dayan, did not make a mere Hanzhong, but because of Cao Cao, if he got Hanzhong, then Shuzhong and even the entire Yizhou would be in danger," Tian Feng said seriously.

"King, I think Cao Cao's target is Jingzhou, and Hanzhong is just eye-catching, attracting attention, or just holding the sheep and laying the foundation," Li Ru made his debut.

"I agree with what the military advisor said, now that our army has recovered the two tribes and formed Yunzhong Prefecture. The Eight Banners are in full swing. The threat of Liangzhou has been greatly reduced. Cao Cao is a hero, so he naturally understands that seizing Yizhou can only be a good place, because although Yizhou has natural dangers, the mountain road is difficult and not conducive to the expedition. Once Cao Cao enters, he is like being locked in the dragon. He has no choice but to take down Jingzhou, one to protect the horns of Jiangdong, and use the power of the Yangtze River to block our Great Yan, and the other to Jingzhou and Yizhou are in a piece, and they have the advantage in the future three-legged stadium." Zhuge Liang said seriously.

Hearing this, Yuan Xi suddenly showed a hint of expectation on his face. After staring at Zhuge Liang for a while, he said, "Kong Ming, for example, if there is only one Yizhou and is no longer alone, I will hand over Yizhou to you, will you attack the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition?"

Zhuge Liang was shocked, and the ministers were also confused. What does the king mean? This is impossible!

Although Zhuge Liang was also confused, after thinking for a while, he said firmly: "I don't know why the king asked this, but if this is true, I swear to fight to the death and devote my whole life to the king's unification of the world."
