The Right Minister, Wei Jian is a veteran of two dynasties. A great Confucian of Great Jing and most of the sons of the Qingliu faction were under his tutelage. Peaches and plums all over the world. The late emperor also held him in high esteem and he is now the Crown Prince's mentor.
[ Qing liu - refers to scholars of high moral character, courageous in speaking out and reputable.]
[ peaches and plums all over the world - it is a metaphor for the many elite descendants and students that an elder or teacher has nurtured throughout the world. ]
The Left Minister is Jiang Yu, was only a member of the staff of the Royal Household a dozen years ago. After the reign of Emperor Jianing, he rose to the top of the court of Dajing and won the emperor's heart after the destruction of the Di Family ten years ago.
Nowadays, the two sides of the court are clearly separated and serve as a counterweight to each other, a situation that Emperor Jianing is happy to see, but recently Ren Anle has entered the capital and the two factions are each sticking to their arguments. The two factions have been fighting with each other and the small fighting gradually escalated into partisan disputes between the left and right ministers. The Emperor Jianing got a headache that he brought the Buddha along with him when he received Ren Anle today.
[ Buddha - a term that is sometimes used to characterise someone who should not be offended. Usually said in a helpless tone, as if satisfying them is difficult.]
"Minister Wei, Ren Anle is a woman, from a remote place and is rude and reckless. How can she enter the court like us? The deputy general's position is not high, but she is in charge of several tens of thousands of troops. In the future she will be invited to the frontier with the merit of her surrender. Anle Zhai has many bad traits in the past. If she gains the heart and mind of the army, then she will become a problem for the heart of our country! Why don't we give her another position and keep her in the capital?"
Jiang Yu, the Left minister, has a proud and orderly tone to his voice. If it were not for the fact that the deputy generalship given to Ren Anle was originally intended for his Jiang Clan, his words would have been more powerful.
"Minister Jiang's words are wrong. Ren Anle has already surrendered. His Majesty has already given Her the rank. if His Majesty now reneges on his promise and does not allow her to join the court. How can the Emperor's prestige be upheld? Besides, Ren Anle is a renowned general, she may become a pillar of our state in the future!"
The right minister Wei Jian's white beard was shaking and his voice was as loud as the bell, and by the sound of it, it was obvious that he had a high life expectancy!
"The right minister speech attached importance to a mere woman. Talk about a pillar of stone!"
"Even if, she is just a woman, why does the left minister have to be so alarmist?"
[ frightening words to scare people - an idiom, alarmist talk; reds under the beds - meaning to deliberately say something exaggerated and frightening to make people shake with suspicion. From Guo Xiaochuan, "On Listening to the Words". ]
"She is a traitor. Her roots are hard to break and her rascality is hard to tame!"
"How can they be called traitors again when they sent 30,000 sailors to my Great Jing!"
The voices in the upper study were not small Ren Anle was led into the corridor by the Chamberlain, raised her eyebrows, and the corner of her mouth took on a deep meaning.
