Chapter 109 Qianqin Hall

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At noon, many carriages from all directions have passed through the gate of Huangtian City guarded by heavy troops, and continued to drive towards the largest architectural complex in the center of the capital.

Mo Ziyao is nestled in a narrow carriage all day long, and the bumpy road will still feel somewhat tired and a little depressed.

Along the way, she spent most of her time in a confused sleep, but the time she slept more and woke up will be longer. Fortunately, she made full preparations long before entering the palace, and prepared more than 100 books of various kinds. When she was bored, she took out one to read to pass the hard time. Moreover, Xiaoxiao also stayed in the car for most of the time, and she felt fine along the way.

In the early morning, she was woken up by the noisy crowd outside and was no longer sleepy. She picked up a book and watched it slowly. Unconsciously, she was deeply attracted by the characters in the story. When she deliberately finished reading the ending and put down the book, there was a sudden obsessive scream outside the car: "Wow Is this the palace of Ruan Nanguo?

"Wow! Is this the palace?"

"Oh, my God, it's really magnificent and magnificent! Look, the dragon on this stone pillar is really lifelike. Isn't it magical to ride the clouds and fog?"

“......”

When these women felt extremely novel and shocked about everything in the palace, at that time, the four doors of the Qianqin Hall of the Ruan Nanguo Palace were opened, and the decoration of the hall was even more brilliant but majestic and luxurious. On both sides of the hall stood dozens of civil and military officials with unified imperial uniforms. At this moment, everyone leaned forward slightly and held their hands in front of them without saying anything.

Over these ministers, on a giant dragon chair made of gold, a young man in a bright yellow dragon robe jumped into sight.

The man is extremely handsome, his face is as clear as carving, and his face with edges and corners is unusually beautiful. Under a pair of sword eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, but the inadvertent light in the eyes makes people dare not look down.

The man is stretching out a white and slender palm and gently rubbing his temple, and a pair of sword eyebrows are deeply locked together. Originally, the seemingly affectionate peach blossom eyes are now showing sharp eyes like eagles.

This person is Ruan Lingzheng, the emperor of Ruan Nanguo!

If Mo Ziyao is here, she can recognize him at a glance. He is the gentle, gentle and smiling son of Yuan Lingyuan!

However, it is a pity that so far, she will not know that her future life will be inseparable from this person. Similarly, Ruan Lingzheng would not have thought that this woman, who had deliberately approached and used herself, and then had a special feeling for her, was among the 800 selected show women.

All this can only be said that if it is predestined to meet, where can't we meet...

But he also knows nothing about all this at present. At this moment, he really has a headache about one thing, which is about this selection of concubines.

From the beginning of the sun to now, the ministers have grasped the matter of choosing a concubine and wantonly to persuade each other, saying that the country should not be left without a day. The emperor has only one concubine but nothing for so many years, and for example, the tragic end of the death of a certain dynasty and so on. Then which daughter is good-looking and has good conduct? Which woman should be accepted as a concubine, but I didn't say which one would have a son.

Ruan Lingzheng quietly looked at the Manchao Wenwu in the hall, but smiled coldly in his heart. Now that they have just ascended the throne, the harem is vacant. The ultimate purpose of these people is nothing more than to recommend their precious daughters, nieces and nieces to themselves, so that they can get a place in the harem as soon as possible.

His narrow eyes swept towards the ministers under the stage without a trace, and a thin and sexy lips moved slightly, and a loud and majestic voice sounded deep in the whole hall: "I have my own determination to choose the concubine. Do you still have an original report?"

"This..." The ministers below looked at me and saw that you were a little unwilling, but since the emperor had said that they did not dare to disobey the holy will, the hall soon fell silent.

However, after a moment of silence, a tall middle-aged man stood up and bowed and said in a loud voice, "I have my own book!"

Ruan Lingzheng, who was sitting on the upper dragon chair, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his eyes flashed a little. Is there really anyone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat?

And this unknown person is Liu Yanfei, who holds half of the troops in the dynasty.

Ruan Lingheng can have two important figures today. One is the current Prime Minister Zuo, who taught him since he was a child, and the other is General Liu. One of these two people is in charge of military power, one in charge of officials and household ministries. Ruan Lingheng was able to entrust the two of them with heavy responsibilities at the same time in order to restrain and balance each other.

Ruan Lingzheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "General Liu, please speak."

General Liu glanced at several old men beside him and said, "Your Majesty, the news came from southern Xinjiang through the inside line. Ten days ago, the king of Pingzhen returned to Luotian City with his confidants. Since then, there has been no news. I don't know..."

Ruan Lingheng was still a little surprised that it was not a matter of choosing a concubine.

"I know this matter, and you don't have to worry about it." Ruan Lingzheng on the dragon chair suddenly interrupted him and said.

General Liu raised his eyes slightly and looked at the superior, thinking for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, I mean that as a courtier of our country, he holds tens of thousands of soldiers, and is still a vassal king. He should have stayed on the border to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, but now he has not returned to the camp for half a month. If a foreign enemy suddenly launched an attack on the border area of our southern Xinjiang at this time, and there is no general in southern Xinjiang, can the enemy** directly attack our imperial city? Ask him if he is like this, do you still have the heavy responsibility entrusted to him in his heart? I think he obviously didn't pay attention to you!"

"Ah! ...This..." For a moment, all the ministers turned their eyes to the indignant General Liu and several half-hundred old ministers who bowed their heads and were silent. Several bold people directly raised their heads and looked at Ruan Lingzheng on the dragon chair to see the emperor's suitable expression and how to answer.

It has only been two years since Ruan Lingzheng ascended the throne. In addition, it was rumored that he was not the heir of the emperor.

After the former emperor abolished the crown prince, he revealed that he wanted to establish his sixth son, Ruan Lingheng, who was far away in southern Xinjiang, as the new emperor. This son has a calm personality, calm in the event of events, not arrogant and impetuous, sophisticated and fierce, with the excellent potential of an emperor.

He may have inherited his beautiful and enchanting mother, Chenfei, but a good man gave birth to a charming face that is no less than a woman.

Even so, his excellent record over the years is enough to make up for his innate defect, and the emperor's appreciation for him will not affect him.

But in the end, the emperor changed his mind? Or for some other reason? Unfortunately, without the will of the previous emperor, everything is lost.

There is no will, and every prince has the possibility of becoming a new crown prince. It is said that Ruan Lingzheng, the second prince, killed the third prince who had always been at peace with him in order to seize the throne, and sent the imperial army to rush back from southern Xinjiang for thousands of miles to stop him from staying outside the imperial city. He ordered his heart and abdomen and the old ministers of the upper court to ascend the throne in advance.

When Ruan Lingheng broke through the layers of defense and arrived at the Qianqin Hall, the yellow cauliflower was cold.

At this moment, the favorite of the civil and military officials is the open and secret struggle between the two brothers. So for a short time, one or two of them waited for it.

All the ministers in the hall began to whisper. After listening carefully, most ministers thought that the emperor should thoroughly investigate the matter and impose a relative punishment on the prince of Pingzhen who left his post without permission. However, some ministers think that the matter should be settled before making a conclusion. Only a small number of ministers feel that this matter is not harmful at all, and it is not worth mentioning. General Liu should not make a fuss to provoke the relationship between their brothers.

For a while, the huge hall was very noisy.

An old man with white temples and goat beard stared at General Liu fiercely. This person looks quite old and has a very kind and gentle face. In fact, he himself looks energetic and walking vigorously, especially the turbid old eyes from time to time a touch of imperceptible light, which makes people dare not underestimate him.

This is the person Liu's general looked at before he said this. The old man may not be special, but his relationship with the king of Heping Town is extremely close, and it is said that he is Ruan Lingheng's full supporter.

At this moment, he slowly stood up in many public opinion and stood side by side with General Liu. He said in a low voice to Ruan Lingzheng, who was in power, "Your Majesty, I have something to say about this matter."

In Ruan Lingzheng's eyes, he raised his hand between General Liu and the old man and said, "Zhu Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that what General Liu said is wrong. Southern Xinjiang is the foundation of the prince of Pingzhen. His relatives and soldiers are there. How can he leave and abandon it? Over the years, southern Xinjiang has been calm and complete in the hands of the prince of Pingzhen. How can there be an enemy breaking through the defense of southern Xinjiang?

He turned his eyes and stared coldly at General Liu beside him and said harshly, "General Liu, I know that you are eager to protect the country and it is extenable. But your behavior is really bold. To put it lightly, it is to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the prince of Heping Town. And hit the imperial city directly. Isn't this cursing me, Ruan Nanguo, who was invaded by foreign enemies? Do you dare to say such rebellious words? What a bold!"

The atmosphere of the whole hall suddenly became tense and solemn.

General Liu immediately retorted, "You farted. I'm just talking about the facts to let the emperor do preventive work as soon as possible. If there is something good or wrong, will you bear the responsibility?"

"You... you're so old that you fart..."

“%¥#@#......”

At this time, there was an old man with a beard in front of him, about 50 or 60 years old. He half closed his eyes and looked like he would never wake up. From the beginning, he began to close his eyes and take a nap. He didn't hear anything about the matter, but when the old man surnamed Zhu suddenly stood up and said this, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened. He glanced at the two people in the middle of the hall who were about to curse and scramble with red faces, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. Then I went to meet Zhou Gong again.

And this unattractive old man is the current prime minister of the dynasty above 10,000 people under one person, who is also Taifu---Lin Feihong.

Ruan Lingzheng looked at the two people in front of him who were almost cursing. His face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Enough! Shut up! They are all old ministers who accuse and abuse each other. You don't think it's shameful, but I still feel ashamed!"

The originally noisy hall was roared by Ruan Lingzheng, and the whole hall became silent in an instant.

"Your Majesty..." The two still did not give up and tried to find the emperor to judge them. This time, it was a different voice.

Ruan Lingzheng's face was very ugly. He waved his hand and said in a low voice, "I have a definition of how to deal with this matter. You don't need to say it anymore!"

The eyes swept, "Which of you is still playing?" There is no sound.

"Well, retreat!"

After saying that, Ruan Lingzheng shook his sleeves and strode towards the apse.

[This chapter mainly explains some important ministers and the current political situation of Ruan Nam-kuo. Well, in the next chapter, the daughters of these ministers will appear one by one. I don't know whose daughter do you want to see more?]
