"Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention Dongfang Ji?" Ouyang Xiu was puzzled.

"I want to know how loyal you are to the Phoenix Kingdom. You can tell me about Dongfang Ji. ”

Long Jing glared at Ouyang Xiu madly.

……

Ouyang Xiu was silent for a long time before saying, "There are some things that ministers can't say, because ...... Because ......"

"Because...... Dongfang Ji is not stupid. Isn't it?"

Long Jing stared at Ouyang Xiu's eyes.

Ouyang Xiu raised his head, a little surprised, how could Long Jingmad know about this. Dongfang Lian shouldn't have told Long Jingmad before?

And now isn't Lian'er amnesia?

"He's not just stupid. Ouyang Xiu, did you know, he also became the monarch of Xiling. When you said that I would send the Five Emperor Uncles as envoys to Xiling to congratulate the new monarch on his accession to the throne, do you know that Dongfang Ji is the new monarch of Xiling?"

Long Jingmad's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I don't know. ”

Ouyang Xiu frowned, he really didn't know about this matter.

"And what do you know?"

Long Jingfang's eyes were a little colder.

"Minister...... The minister confessed that Dongfang Ji's illness was a minister...... The minister is good. ”

"What?"

Dongfang Lian didn't say a word to himself about this, but Ouyang Xiu admitted it frankly.

"Why?"

Didn't Ouyang Xiu know that Dongfang Ji had to be controlled for the Phoenix Kingdom, with Ouyang Xiu's friendship with Dongfang Lian, Long Jingfang didn't believe that he didn't know that Dongfang Lian and Dongfang Ji were related to the previous dynasty.

Dongfang Lian is a woman, even if it is, everyone is more tolerant, but Dongfang Ji is a man......

Ouyang Xiu ......

"Is it that as long as Dongfang Lian asks you to do it, you will do it, Ouyang Xiu?" Long Jing looked coldly.

Could it be that if Dongfang Ji stood on her brother's side in the future, Ouyang Xiu would follow?

“…… Be. ”

Ouyang Xiu wanted to say that he was loyal to the Phoenix Kingdom, but he thought of Dongfang Lian and said that in his previous life, he turned against Long Qijin in order to save her.

It turns out that he is not loyal to the Phoenix Kingdom.

Since he can be disloyal to the Phoenix Kingdom when Long Qijin was the emperor, he can be crazy about Long Jing...... If Long Jingmad hurts Dongfang Lian, he will not be loyal to him.

"Ouyang Xiu!"

The anger of the Son of Heaven is not trivial, and the eunuch beside Long Jingmad has already knelt on the ground.

But Ouyang Xiu was still so arrogant, and he was not intimidated by Long Jing's anger.

Long Jingmad continued, "If one day, Dongfang Lian wants you to betray the Phoenix Kingdom, will you betray it?"

"Why did she want me to betray the Phoenix Kingdom?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled, so let the Taiwei Mansion fall into the matter that Qianfu pointed out, Dongfang Lian would never do it, he believed in Dongfang Lian.

"Or is it that the emperor is actually not confident enough in his own queen, do you think she will stand in opposition to you?"

Ouyang Xiu stared deeply at Long Jingmad.

Long Jingmad couldn't answer for a moment, yes, he was afraid.

And he didn't want to look at Ouyang Xiu's suspicious, deeply inquiring eyes.

"Long Jingmai, you remember what you promised me at the beginning, if you can't let Lian'er get real happiness, then ...... Just let me do it. ”

This is Ouyang Xiu's last limit, if Long Jingmad and Dongfang Lian are opposed, he knows where he will stand.

He didn't want Long Jingmad to be opposed to Dongfang Lian...... Although another selfish voice told him that this may not be an opportunity for him.

But the opportunity that Ouyang Xiu wants is not based on the twists and turns of the life of an oriental lover.

"Long Jingmai, I hope that Lian'er will be the happiest woman in the world, and the natural enemy of women's happiness is twists and turns, I don't want Lian'er to experience so many twists and turns. Long Jingmai, you know, she was once the most unfortunate woman in the world, and she has experienced many things that you and I can't imagine. Her heart is sensitive and fragile......"

"What the hell is there about her that you know and I don't know?"

Long Jingmad was deeply puzzled. He didn't like that.

"If you want to know, let her tell you...... However, Lian'er has amnesia now, and I'm afraid I can't remember that. She couldn't remember that, and it was a good thing. If you think about it, I'm afraid that you still won't be liberated. The damage is too great. ”

“……”

Long Jingmad was speechless for a moment. Yes, Ouyang Xiu didn't know that Dongfang Lian had recovered his memory.

"Ouyang Xiu, don't think about my queen. She's not the woman you can imagine. Also, get married as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to feel at ease. ”

"Your uneasiness is because of your own demons, definitely not because of the show. ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled slowly.

"......" Long Jingfang clenched his fists, this Ouyang Xiu is really not afraid of death. He repeatedly said many words that provoked the majesty of his emperor, that is, he could tolerate Ouyang Xiu only if he was a dragon maniac, and if he had changed to other emperors, he would have killed him ten thousand times.

"Retreat. ”

He angrily said two words to Ouyang Xiu.

"Minister, step aside. ”

Ouyang Xiu also respectfully retreated.

……

Harem.

Dongfang Lian has to go to Ouyang Jing every day to ask for peace, which is a must-do as a queen and a harem woman.

Sometimes Ouyang Jing didn't pay much attention to her, and after Dongfang Lian asked for An, he left.

But today, Ouyang Jing pulled her and said a lot of words enthusiastically, "The queen has finally figured it out, is she going to take a concubine for the emperor?"

"Why did Grandma Huang say that?"

Hehe, it seems that Ouyang Jing still has no heart for death.

In the future, Ouyang Jing did not have this attitude towards her, and everything changed because of her bloodline related to the previous dynasty, which made Ouyang Jing very uneasy.

"If you don't take a concubine for the emperor, then what kind of draft will be held?"

Ouyang Jing tried to love in the East.

Before this draft, she had mentioned it to Long Jingmaan a few times before, but Long Jingmaia didn't seem to be very concerned, and now Dongfang Lian proposed to hold the first selection of the new emperor to ascend the throne at the spring banquet, which was surprising to her.

However, Dongfang Lian opposed Ouyang Xiang's entry into the palace before, and he must have been unwilling to share Long Jingmad with other women, why did he suddenly change his mind?

Could it be because of the cold war between Dongfang Lian and Long Jing during this time, the queen of Dongfang Lian has also loosened her heart, and she is afraid that she will lose the emperor's heart because she insists on not establishing a concubine?

"Isn't there a shortage of palace maids in the palace, so the concubines might as well hold a selection and fill in some palace maids. Of course, if there are beautiful women in the show, and His Majesty takes a fancy to it, in fact, the concubines don't have much ...... opinion. About the concubine, the Empress Dowager will go and tell Her Majesty herself. Please forgive the Empress Dowager for not being enthusiastic, Lian'er really doesn't want many women in the harem. It's not interesting to fight every day like this. The Empress Dowager has also experienced those lives, do you want to love your son again?"

"......" Ouyang Jing was silent, but he already had a plan in his heart.

Anyway, she thought it through, Dongfang Lian will continue to be her queen, anyway, the one who inherits the throne of the Phoenix Kingdom in the future cannot be a child with the blood of the previous dynasty.

……

Long Jingfang finished dealing with some affairs, and was about to return to the harem, but there was a quick report.

The eunuch presented the express report to Long Jingmania, and when Long Jingmaia looked at it, he thought that his vision had been spent......

"Xuan Cabinet, there is an urgent matter to discuss. ”

Long Jingmad closed the report, and his face was also very bad.

……

Ouyang Xiucai returned to the Taiwei Mansion for a while, and was about to have a cup of tea when he was announced into the palace by Long Jing.

On the way, he also met people who belonged to the same cabinet, such as Li Chengwen, Li Zhongyuan, Zhao Xing, Zhong Sheng, and Qin Qianqi.

Now after Dongfang Fengyuan resigned, the original seven-person cabinet has become six people, among which Zhongsheng and Qin Qianqi are relatively young, they entered the cabinet one or two years earlier than Li Chengwen, and they are the two people that the previous emperor valued more.

Zhong Sheng is the champion of the 11th year of the Phoenix Kingdom, while Qin Qianqi is the champion of the 13th year of the Phoenix Kingdom, and Li Chengwen is the champion of the 14th year of the Phoenix Kingdom.

The cabinet is equivalent to the small court of the Phoenix Kingdom, and when encountering major matters, the cabinet has always been summoned for a round of discussion, and then brought to the court meeting for discussion.

……

Several people entered Long Jingmai's imperial study, and there was a council room outside the imperial study, which was convenient for the cabinet to deliberate, and everyone found their own place to sit down.

"Ouyang Zuoxiang, you were left by the emperor after the court meeting, what did the emperor call us into the palace this time, does Ouyang Zuoxiang know?"

Qin Qianqi asked first.

"Yes, except for a few places that have not been peaceful recently, in fact, state affairs and everything are quite good, and His Majesty rarely summons us to the palace at night. ”

Zhong Sheng also said.

He thought that it shouldn't be that something happened locally, and if something happened locally, there would have been some signs before.

"I don't know. ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't publish anything.

And he glanced at the Li family father and son, who were all sitting upright, and it seemed that they did not plan to join the discussion before Long Jingfang arrived.

There is also Zhao Xing, this Zhao Xing was the head of the cabinet when he was the emperor.

Although there are Dongfang Fengyuan, the left minister, and Li Zhongyuan, the right minister, who controlled the government and served as the leader of the hundred officials, but to say that the person the first emperor relied on the most, it was Zhao Xing.

After Long Jingfang ascended the throne, Zhao Xing was also very loyal to Long Jingmai, and now he is still firmly in the position of the head of the cabinet.

……

After a while, Long Jingmad came in a hurry. He had already changed out of his morning dragon robe and put on a set of clothes that the emperor usually lived in.

However, it is still very majestic, and the color is the bright yellow that Long Jingmad does not love, but the royal clothes are measured by special institutions, and the bright yellow is the color of the emperor's clothes, whether he loves it or not, he has to wear it on his body. Unless it's a private visit to the palace, it's more free.

"All the king's houses have arrived. I have summoned you urgently, and something important has indeed happened. ”

Long Jingmad asked the eunuch to show the express report to everyone one by one.

First Zhao Xing in the first place, then Ouyang Xiu, Li Chengwen, Zhong Sheng, Qin Qianqi...... The last one is Li Zhongyuan. Everyone who has seen it has an ugly face......

Ouyang Xiu, in particular, has too many ideas.

"Princess Anle...... Passed away in the Qin State. This matter is about the face of our Phoenix Kingdom, and it can't just be settled. I'm going to send an envoy to the Phoenix Kingdom to find out what happened......"

Long Jingmai's gaze roamed over the six of them one by one, "Do any of you have a suitable candidate to propose to me?"

"Let the ministers go. ”

Li Chengwen was listed.

"Li Qing, you and Lord Ouyang have just been married, although this marriage is not in a hurry, but the engagement or something is about to start. It's up to you to go to the Qin Kingdom, is it suitable?"

In fact, Long Jingfang had also considered Li Chengwen before, but considering that he and Ouyang Xiang had only been given marriage, he was afraid that he would be a little uncomfortable.

"The minister can do it. Besides, it is not too late to handle the engagement after the minister returns from the Qin State. The minister will go to the Taiwei Mansion later to explain this matter clearly. ”

"Needless to say, the prime minister agrees. ”

Ouyang Xiu's expression was a little condensed.

Marrying Prince Qin, if it weren't for the many changes that happened in it, that person would be Ouyang Xiang.

If you die, it will also be Ouyang Xiang......

Now that she has become Princess Anle, a tragedy has been avoided for the Taiwei Mansion, but for the Phoenix Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom, it is even more difficult to deal with the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom who died.

If there is any hidden secret, involving the abuse of Princess Anle and the like, it seems that a war is inevitable.

The Qin State is really cunning, does he want to use a princess to provoke a war?

Do you want the Phoenix Kingdom to slap itself in the face, tear up the agreement to stop the war, and start the war first?

If it is found out that Princess Anle's death is indeed caused by the Qin State, and the Phoenix State does not dare to send troops, then it will make the Phoenix Kingdom look down on the Phoenix Kingdom.

It's a dilemma.

Li Chengwen also took this into account, so he had to know Long Jingmad's attitude before he set off.

"Your Majesty, if there is a war at that time, are you mentally prepared?"

Fighting, in terms of the current national strength of the Phoenix Kingdom, is definitely not the best time.

After all, there had just been a debacle in the north.

Although the money and silver of the Phoenix Kingdom are not tight, they are not loose either. And it costs a lot of money to fight a war.

"If you have to fight, you have to fight. Otherwise, everyone thinks that the Phoenix Kingdom is easy to bully, and when the time comes, our Phoenix Kingdom will not be able to gain a foothold in the Canghuang Continent, why should it be the leader?"

Long Jing said in a deep voice.

The minister had a number in his heart. Princess Anle's matter will definitely be investigated. ”

"Well, there is Lao Aiqing. ”

……

Long Anle's death, when Long Jingfang dined with her, Dongfang Lian also knew.

"What do you think?"

Long Jing glared at Dongfang Lian for a moment, he still remembered that on the day of Prince Qin's marriage with Huangguo, many things happened.

Including his marriage with Dongfang Lian, it was also decided on that day.

At that time, Prince Qin wanted to marry Ouyang Xiang a little more, but in the end, he married Long Anle.

Let Long Anle marry Prince Qin, Dongfang Lian, this woman has not contributed less.

However, at that time, he couldn't figure out why Dongfang Lian wanted to help Ouyang Xiang and prevent her from marrying Prince Qin?

If she said that she looked at Ouyang Xiu's points and didn't want Ouyang Xiang to marry and suffer in another country, she was a little reluctant.

Because the crown prince of Qin is the prince of Qin, if he marries him, he will be the queen in the future......

Ordinary women will think that marrying the prince of Qin is good. Why then......

There was no definite evidence for Long Jingmai, but he had a faint feeling...... Dongfang Lian should know something, and even predicted today's misfortune.

"Why do you ask me what I think?" Dongfang Lian felt that Long Jingmad's vision was very inexplicable.

"No...... I just had some doubts. ”

It was very shocking to think that at the cabinet meeting, other people learned the news.

Only Ouyang Xiu's reaction was not so strong.

What was Ouyang Xiu's reaction, it was just condensation...... Why is it condensation?

Maybe something else. Anyway, that kind of depth and complexity, Long Jingmad can't outline it all.

"What are you wondering about?" Dongfang Lian looked at Long Jingmad.

"Nope. ”
