"It turned out to be Lord Xuanwu!"

Ye Chen arched his hand, "Lord Qinglong once mentioned you to me, and a friend of mine was recommended by him to enter your Xuanwu camp, and I hope you will take proper care of him in the future." ”

Luo Chengfeng was not bad to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen also initially recognized him.

Now that guy has gone to the Xuanwu camp, Ye Chen mentioned it.

Moreover, this is also a means to get closer to Zhang Xuanwu.

Zhang Xuanwu is obviously the descendant of the empress.

Therefore, whether it is in private or in court, this is naturally on the same front as him.

Proper own people!

It is obviously correct to deal well with Zhang Xuanwu.

"That's as it should be, Wang Qinglong also told me. ”

Zhang Xuanwu returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Ye doesn't have to be too polite, you and I will be closer and closer in the future." ”

"That's nature. ”

Ye Chen also replied with a smile.

"It's almost time, let's go together. ”

Zhang Xuanwu stretched out his hand to invite.

"It's an honor!"

Ye Chen also stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Lord Zhang, please!"

The two walked together, talking and laughing, and walked towards the Golden Palace.

Many ministers saw this scene.

At the same time, he also had an understanding of Ye Chen's identity.

"This kid is the younger brother that His Majesty said?"

"Your Majesty just wants to crown him king?"

"Young but not vigorous, lowly but not humble or arrogant, there is something. ”

"The strength is so low, and the gap with his brother is so big, it is like an abyss, how can he be deserved, and he was named the only king with a different surname in Great Xia!"

"This little guy also wants to be crowned king, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks!"

"I don't think I agree with that!"

"This kid is now living in the palace, it's really ridiculous!"

"Your Majesty acts like this, you can put us in your eyes, hmph, if you don't give me an explanation, I will be the first to say goodbye to the old man and return home!"

"We're the same!"

In the rear, many ministers were talking.

Some people looked at Ye Chen thoughtfully.

And more people feel that Ye Chen is not qualified to be crowned the prince in any way, and resolutely oppose it.

Even, he planned to threaten the empress with resignation.

Most of the people who are so strong are not young, they have been officials for many years, and they have a very high status in the court, and many ministers have to give face.

They were important ministers when the first emperor was there, and after the rebellion of the Ming king, they either continued to be officials, or resigned and returned to their hometowns, and after the empress ascended the throne, they gathered together again.

These people are the foundation of Great Xia!

All of them are in important positions!

It is precisely because of this that the empress also attaches great importance to their opinions, and does not dare to easily save their face.

If these people collectively go on strike and stop working, Great Xia really won't be able to function normally.

......

When Ye Chen and Zhang Xuanwu walked outside the main hall together, a group of people had already gathered here.

They all stood outside, either quietly waiting, or whispering to each other.

The morning court time was still a little short, and everyone was waiting for the eunuch to inform him to enter the palace and go to court.

"Lord Wang, come here. ”

Zhang Xuanwu called Ye Chen, walked to the left, and when he arrived, he said with a smile: "Let me introduce these two to you, of course you probably guessed their identities." ”

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, "The two should be Lord White Tiger and Lord Vermilion Bird, right?"

Ye Qing did his homework in private.

Wang Qinglong and Zhang Xuanwu are three-character names, while White Tiger and Vermilion Bird are two-character names.

One of them is surnamed Bai and the other is surnamed Zhu.

Ye Chen met Wang Qinglong, and then met Zhang Xuanwu, and the remaining two were easy to recognize.

Because they are a man and a woman, they can easily distinguish between them.

"That's right. ”

Zhang Xuanwu smiled and nodded.

"I've seen Suzaku-sama, Haku-sama!"

Ye Chen bowed his hand to greet him.

"You are Ye Chen?"

As his name suggests, the White Tiger Man imagined Bai Jing Siwen, and said with a smile when he saw this: "Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, my White Tiger is obviously ahead of Vermilion Bird, why did you visit her first?"

It's not an attack, it's a joke.

The tone was full of teasing.

"Ladies first. ”

Ye Chen smiled and said, "If you want to come to Lord White Tiger, you won't be surprised by this. ”

When the white tiger heard this, he immediately laughed.

"You're funny, kid. ”

Baihu said with a smile: "Wang Qinglong admires you very much, let me have time to get close to you, I was very curious before, but now that we meet, I think it is really extraordinary." ”

Unlike Zhang Xuanwu's seriousness, White Tiger's temperament is much more casual.

It's Suzaku, who is relatively cold.

Facing Ye Chen's visit, she just hummed lightly, which was regarded as a response.

After that, he stopped talking.

Ye Chen didn't care either.

Although Suzaku looks young, the temperament of a mature woman can't be hidden, and she is not too young.

Ye Chen never cares too much about the people of his aunt's generation.

After all, people are elders.

It is reported that the Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu is ranked according to strength.

According to Ye Chen's visual inspection, among the four, the age and strength have reversed.

Zhang Xuanwu is the oldest, and Wang Qinglong is the youngest.

The Vermilion Bird, on the other hand, is a little bigger than the White Tiger.

"Wang Qinglong and Your Majesty have both told us about you, you are your Majesty's brother-in-law, and we can be closer and closer in the future. ”

White Tiger laughed.

"That's nature. ”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded.

Many people frequently looked at this side, their eyes on Ye Chen.

Obviously, they all knew Ye Chen's identity.

also knows what he is doing when he goes to court today.

Because of this, many people's eyes flickered, and their expressions were different, and the meaning was unclear.

Ye Chen and the four of them were talking and laughing, but they saw the closed door of the main hall above, slowly opening to both sides.

Then all the whispering ministers fell silent.

Then, a eunuch walked out, stood on one side and shouted: "Go to court!"

The ministers walked up the steps in order towards the main hall.

Ye Chen followed Zhang Xuanwu and the three of them into the hall together.

Walking into the main hall, the ministers stood in a column according to the order.

“......”

Ye Chen was a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know where he should stand, but fortunately, the eunuch should have been instructed by the empress to come over and let Ye Chen stand with the three of them with the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

After standing, the ministers greeted him.

The Empress was sitting in a golden chair above the front.

She is wearing a red robe, the robe is decorated with gold edges, and the golden phoenix embroidery is lifelike, wanting to take off into the air, wearing a golden crown, majestic in the world!

Ye Chen saw the empress for the first time.

It's very different from the previous temperament!

At this time, the empress is truly worthy of the king of a country.

Her cold face, indifferent eyes, and lofty temperament make people can't help but want to worship.

This is the real empress!

Ye Chen sighed in his heart.

Although the previous empress had a unique temperament, she at this moment was in line with the image of the empress in his mind.

"Zhongqing is flat. ”

The empress flicked her hand, "Sit." ”

In the next moment, behind the ministers, a mechanism slid open, and then, one by one, the seats rose in unison.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers thanked them, and then sat down one after another.

Ye Chen looked surprised, followed suit, and sat on the chair.

The seat was hardwood, without any cushions, and it was far less comfortable to sit on than the ordinary sofa that Ye Chen remembered.

But it's obviously much better than standing.

"This morning, there is only one thing to discuss. ”

The empress's voice was cold, and she said slowly: "I want to make Ye Chen the king with a different surname, no fief, no private army, but enjoy all the other treatment of the prince, I don't know what the princes want?"

The Empress did not give anyone any preparation.

opened his mouth and directly put the matter of Ye Chen's title as king on the table, which caught a group of ministers off guard.

For a while, the hall was quiet.

No one spoke.

"No one has an opinion?"

Seeing this, the empress said, "Since this is the case, then I will acquiesce to the public." ”

Before the empress could finish speaking, several ministers stood up in unison and shouted, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!"

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

In a group of people, although only a few people stood up to oppose it, there were still many people who were ready to move and looked in agreement.

Obviously, their opinions are the same as those of these people.

Ye Chen is the king, no!

Seeing this, the empress's expression immediately turned cold.

Then, her voice suddenly turned cold: "Oh?

"Then the secretary said, why this move is inappropriate!"

"I, why can't I give my righteous brother this king!"

At this moment, everyone's necks shrank slightly.

Empress: This is ......

Angry?

What's going on!

Wasn't it okay two days ago, looking like everyone was discussing together?

Today's state is very abnormal!

Many people secretly looked left and right, and they all saw surprise on the faces of others.

A bad feeling spread through the crowd.

It was the White Tiger Vermilion Bird and Zhang Xuanwu, and after being stunned for a moment, they all turned their heads to look at Ye Chen.

What's going on?

Why is Your Majesty so angry at this time?

It was Ye Chen, who smiled slightly when he saw this.

It seems that maybe he doesn't need to stand up and do anything.

The empress seems to be ready.

Today, I'm afraid that no one can, and no one dares to disobey her!
