Next, the Chief Assistant and Liang Ping'an said a few more words. At this moment, there was another noise outside. After a while, several people also wearing red and purple official robes approached the inner room.

There are four people in total.

They were all over fifty years old. Liang Ping'an knew that in ancient times, official robes were either vermilion or purple, and they were considered to be first-rate court officials. The so-called "nobles in the dynasty are noble".

Liang Pingan stood up immediately, but the four people did not even look at Liang Pingan. They all moved toward the position of the chief assistant at the same time, bowed their hands and saluted, and said, "I have met the chief assistant."

The chief assistant also nodded to them, and then just talked to a pot-bellied person wearing a purple robe who came in.

The other three people automatically hugged each other, sat together, and chatted about something.

From the beginning to the end, the other four people ignored Liang Pingan. Maybe they had guessed who Liang Pingan was, but they did not talk to him like the few people in green robes and official uniforms in the outer room.

Liang Ping'an can understand it, after all, the officials in this inner chamber are all officials wearing "zhu, purple", which is different from those officials in green robes.

As for the master he just recognized, that is, the master's first assistant, he did not introduce them to him, which is naturally easier to understand.

Because Liang Ping'an is still a white man, he is not even an ordinary official, let alone an official who is not even an official!

So I don’t introduce Liang Ping’an for this reason.

In addition, for Liang Ping'an, the other party is the chief assistant. Although he recognizes his master, it is still the first time they meet, and it is already good for him to mention him so much. To put it bluntly, it is quite interesting.

How can you expect more from others, and you are not someone else’s grandson!

At this moment, a eunuch from the inner palace approached the side hall and said, "Your Majesty ordered everyone from the side hall to go to the side hall together!"

Naturally, several people in the inner room heard it.

So they all walked out of the inner room, and then joined the seven people in the outer room, walked out of the side hall together, and walked towards the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

And Liang Ping'an belonged to the lowest class, so he naturally followed behind everyone.

At this moment, he saw that one of the old men, wearing a scarlet official uniform, was talking to a middle-aged man in a green robe behind him.

Based on what the chief minister told him, he told Liang Ping'an that the green-robed officials in the outer chambers were all ministers who were lucky enough to be courted by the emperor, and did not rely on the imperial examination to legitimately enter the official career.

But Liang Ping'an was a little confused. Since they were all sycophants, why did the high-ranking official in the red official uniform still talk to him?

The so-called "love gentlemen and stay away from villains" in ancient times, wasn't this very strict in ancient times?

Liang Pingan was a little confused.

At this time, he passed through the gap in the crowd and looked at the chief assistant secretly. At this time, he happened to see the chief assistant looking at the official in the red official uniform and talking to the official in the green robe.

At this time, Liang Ping'an could clearly hear the chief assistant "humming".

At this time, Liang Ping'an's doubts turned into surprise, and he thought to himself: It seems that there is no such harmonious relationship between the senior officials!

At this moment, he saw that slightly in front of him, it was the officials in green robes and the officials in red official uniforms, talking quietly in private.

Because Liang Ping'an was so close, he heard the green-robed official say: "Sir, Second Assistant, we are so close. Wouldn't First Assistant not like it?"

Then the official in red official uniform said: "Never mind the stones in the pit, huh, His Majesty doesn't like them for a long time..."

Liang Pingan didn't hear the next words clearly, but what he heard was already shaking Liang Pingan's outlook on life.

‘So that person is the second minister of the dynasty?!!’

"Stones in the latrine, Mr. Chief Assistant??" Liang Ping'an said in shock.

'Furthermore, judging from his tone, His Majesty has long been displeased. Who is displeased? Obviously, is it the Chief Assistant? Oh my God, Halluliya~!~ This is the support I just found, and it is about to collapse. Yes? Niangxi approved it~!'

Liang Ping'an felt as if he was screwed!

Thinking of herself, Xiao Jiujiu followed the team and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

When Liang Ping'an saw the gate, he suddenly felt certain in his heart and told himself: It's time to face the saint, calm down, calm down!!

Then, under the guidance of the eunuch who had delivered the oral instructions before, everyone entered the hall.

As soon as Liang Pingan entered the main hall, he found that the hall was very bright, at least brighter than the side hall.

Liang Pingan observed carefully that there were many lights and candles here.

After walking inside the palace for a while, I saw a high platform in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and a dragon chair on the high platform.

Liang Pingan thought: This is the Qianqing Palace after all, not the Jinluan Palace. The dragon chair is much smaller than the high platform!

Because the high platform and the dragon chairs on the high platform are indeed not big, and can only accept the kneeling of a small number of courtiers. For large court gatherings that often involve hundreds or thousands of people, which are held in the Jinluan Hall, the dragon chairs on the high platform must be replaced. Much taller and taller.

And sitting on the dragon throne was a middle-aged fat man.

This fat man is wearing a dragon robe. You don’t need to think about it to know that he is the most powerful man in the Great Zhou Dynasty today, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Kneel down~!" A young eunuch who was specially responsible for his subordinates' worship said loudly.

Suddenly, all the people around Liang Pingan who were in the side hall before knelt down. Seeing this posture, how could Liang Pingan not know what to do?

So he also knelt down.

Immediately the sound of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain" sounded.

"My lord, the common people see your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Ping Shen!" A somewhat deep voice sounded. Needless to say, this was the voice of the Emperor Guangtai of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So Liang Ping'an followed the ministers again: "My lord, common people, thank you for your kindness!" Then he stood up with all the ministers.

Then everyone came together, and the Chief Assistant stepped forward directly: "Your Majesty, regarding the Chiwu people, I do not agree to negotiate a peace with the Chiwu people in our Liaoxi Province!"

The Emperor Guangtai above was obviously very irritable, but he seemed to be worried that the chief minister was the chief minister of the dynasty. He tried to be as calm as possible and said, "Why can't we negotiate peace?"

Faced with Emperor Guangtai's question, the Chief Assistant looked unfazed at all, and immediately said loudly: "It is an insult to the national dignity! Moreover, now that we are negotiating peace with the Chiwu people, if I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, encounter other enemies in the future, Opponent, wouldn't it be necessary to negotiate peace every time?

The end of this negotiation cannot be broken!"

At this moment, a green-robed official shouted loudly: "Sir, are you exaggerating? Our great Zhou Dynasty covers thousands of miles, and the barbarians around us are either vassals or paying tribute. Can they be considered enemies or rivals?

It's just a small country, is it worthy of being so cautious as the Zhou Dynasty?"

Listening to the green-robed official loudly refuting the chief minister, Emperor Guangtai, who was sitting above him, felt comfortable and said to himself:

"It's not in vain that I deliberately summoned all these people together. These people who were promoted by my own decree only followed my own lead!

Now the old man can feed him a pot!

Those people knew that I had called them in together with the chief minister. Anyone who is smart should understand that I used them to restrain the chief minister.

Yes, yes, he should be my loyal dog!"

When he heard the green-robed official speaking like this, the Chief Assistant suddenly changed his color and wanted to angrily scold the green-robed official, but at this moment, a Zhu-robed official stood up beside him and faced him.

The green-robed official scolded directly:

"Bold! I'm talking to His Majesty, Shou Kui. What is your identity? How dare you interfere in your remarks? I won't let you back down!"

"Boss Li Ge has such great official power. Those who knew it thought you were from the university, and those who didn't know it thought you were the Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister!"

Such a sentence suddenly rang out in the hall, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to him. Otherwise, since this man said this, he was about to fight with the chief minister in the ring.

And Liang Ping'an also looked over. As soon as he looked over, he immediately saw who that person was. This person was not someone else, but the current minister!

"I didn't say that I was the chief minister or the deputy prime minister!" Mr. Li Ge from before snorted and said loudly. This man Liang Ping'an is no stranger to him. This man was in the inner room of the side hall, forming a group with the chief minister.

The pot-bellied old man in the same circle.

‘So he belongs to the same party as the first and second assistants!’ Liang Ping’an thought to himself, and he unconsciously divided the first and second assistants into two parties.

At this time, when the green-robed official saw that Chao Ci was speaking for him, he immediately jumped out again:

"Your Majesty has summoned us here, so naturally everyone has the right to speak! When did our great Zhou Dynasty pretend to be closed to the public?"

As soon as this green-robed official finished speaking, other green-robed officials immediately stood up:

"I feel that the words of the chief minister are not words of wisdom for the country! I, the Zhou Dynasty, have a vast land and rich resources, and the Chiwu people are just uncivilized savages. I, the Zhou Dynasty, have negotiated peace with them, given them some gifts, and asked them to return their favor.

Just your own territory.

If we fight and kill, first of all, it is not in line with the setting of our great Zhou etiquette state. Secondly, it will also waste troops, property, military rations, and use these things that are destined to be lost to exchange for peace. What is this?

Not possible?

I really dare not agree with the words of Lord Chief Assistant!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!" "..."

Suddenly, there were only four people standing in the entire court, one was the Chief Assistant, the second was the Academician Li, Mr. Li Ge, and the third was the Second Assistant - his position was too high, so he did not behave like other Qingpao officials.

Wanton flattery.

The fourth person is none other than Liang Pingan.

Emperor Guangtai saw that almost everyone in the palace stood up and bowed to express their agreement and agreement for peace. He felt the joy of victory in his heart, and glanced at the palace again. The first, second, and second assistants were still standing upright, but suddenly

He saw Liang Pingan.

"Eh? Who are you?" Emperor Guangtai said with some inexplicable surprise, why did a white man sneak into the hall, isn't he my minister?

At this moment, serving beside Emperor Guangtai was none other than the eunuch Wang Hong, the eunuch who took Liang Ping'an back to the capital. He hurriedly said respectfully to Emperor Guangtai:
To be continued...
