Chapter 18: Zhang Xuanwu

The Empress went back.

As the king of a country, she has a lot of things, and it is extremely rare to spend an afternoon with Ye Chen in the vegetable garden.

Ye Chen took one last look at the already green vegetable garden, turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Most of these dishes will be picked and eaten tomorrow.

As for security, he doesn't have to worry about it.

The empress, who witnessed the extraordinaryness of the vegetable garden, said that after she went back, she would let people look around and not let people get close.

With this guarantee, Ye Chen was not afraid that the vegetable garden would be known.

Flights are not allowed in the Imperial City.

Except for the empress herself.

So there is basically no possibility of leakage.

Besides, when the vegetables are ripe in two days, ordinary people will not find anything peculiar.

It's going to be lush all the time anyway.

Walking alone in the house, Ye Chen was thinking about the things that would go to court tomorrow.

Truth be told, he wasn't ready.

Although when he first met the empress a few days ago, the empress had already informed him.

But I really can't say this kind of thing.

There is no experience, and the preparation is naturally difficult.

"This kind of thing, as a monarch, must be discussed with the ministers in advance, and now it seems that it is probably not so smooth. ”

Ye Chen thought in his heart.

This is also something to be expected.

Ye Chen and the empress, after all, are not sisters and brothers, and they are not even related by blood at all.

In this way, it is not easy for the empress to crown him as the king with a different surname.

If he is a member of the royal family, then after returning, it is a logical thing to be crowned king.

But he wasn't.

He was just an outsider, just a childhood playmate of the empress.

Although his family died because of the empress, and his brother also died for protecting the empress, this was not enough to justify the empress making him king.

Over the years, there have been many people who have done their best for the empress.

There are also many people who die for the empress.

But neither they, nor their families, have ever been treated like this.

The empress is kind-hearted, and it is true that because of her kindness, her family has been given preferential treatment, but compared with the king, it is 108,000 miles behind.

Why can Ye Chen have such favor?

Why can he get the empress's admiration!

The title of king, in any way, is unreasonable and should not be.

Obviously, a lot of people will be against it.

And, most likely, intense!

The empress has been on the throne for three years, no matter how good she is, it is difficult to achieve the support of all the people in such a short period of time, let alone a word in the court.

She is a monarch, but a monarch is not omnipotent.

An emperor cannot govern a country by himself.

She also needs the assistance of her ministers.

Therefore, she also needs to take into account the feelings of the ministers.

He is in a high position, but he is constrained at every turn.

This is the Emperor!

"It's not easy to be an emperor!"

Ye Chen sighed.

As far as the empress and his conversation this afternoon, those things he talked about, if implemented, who will benefit?

The people of Great Xia!

The empress attaches so much importance to it, like a student asking Ye Chen for advice, who is she for?

For the people of Great Xia!

She could have not paid too much attention to it, let alone had to be so low in front of Ye Chen.

Because although those things are good, they are dispensable for the empress personally.

Because she is in a high position and is still a strong person, she doesn't need to think too much, she can live well easily.

But she did it anyway.

Just because he is the monarch of Great Xia, he is a responsible emperor.

She wants to make the people of Daxia live a better life and become stronger!

"Alas. ”

Ye Chen sighed lightly.

"Let her give up the title of king, she will definitely not agree, that is her compensation to me. ”

"Not to mention that she feels that she owes me more now, even before, she could not have agreed. ”

So, persuade her to give up the impossible. ”

Ye Chen secretly thought to himself: "Since this is the case, then I can only try to say something for her and do something for her in the court tomorrow." ”

"At the very least, take the pressure off her. ”

"She is just for my good, so I should do something for myself, and I can't just let her work alone. ”

Ye Chen made a decision.

......

Early morning.

Before dawn, Ye Chen was woken up by his subordinates.

"Lord, a carriage came to the palace, saying that it was to pick you up from the court. ”

The little guy looked up at Ye Chen, his eyes full of fire.

He had heard other people in the mansion chatting, so he knew what it meant for his master to go to court.

It means that the name of the prince is going to be implemented!

Their prince is finally going to become a prince openly!

It's no longer like this these days, and I can't tell outsiders.

The empress asked Ye Chen to move into the palace first, which actually meant that she would cut first and then play.

She consulted with her ministers in advance.

No official documents have been issued.

Therefore, Ye Chen also restrained the people in the mansion, and he was not allowed to talk nonsense when he went out, which could not be said to be the empress causing trouble.

Therefore, a group of people are also secretly waiting, waiting for their master to be crowned in the court!

When the time comes, they will be the people of the king's palace above board.

First of all, in the territory of Daxia, this is the only one!

"...... so early"

After Ye Chen got up and finished washing, the sky had just turned white.

"Lord Wang, please!"

The eunuch waiting outside the door was a little anxious, and the prince was a little slow, if he delayed any longer, he would be late.

When the time comes, the prince will be fine, and he will be in big trouble!

"Hmm. ”

Ye Chen nodded and quickly got into the carriage.

He saw what the eunuch meant, and he didn't want to bother others.

"Lord Wang, it's here. ”

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and then the coachman reminded Ye Chen.

"Enter from this gate, go straight forward, and at the end is the Great Hall, that is, the Golden Palace. ”

After Ye Chen got out of the car, the eunuch introduced: "The little ones can't go in, so you can go in by yourself, and go with the other lords." ”

Ye Chen nodded.

There were already a number of carriages parked nearby, apparently from the Ministers' Offices.

Seeing that many ministers who had just arrived got out of the car, they hurried towards the door, and Ye Chen followed.

It's early in the morning, and the genius has just dawned, and those who are here at this time are definitely the ministers of the previous dynasty.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the road, just follow along.

Absolutely, yes!

Ye Chen didn't speak, and he didn't mean to greet anyone, he just walked with his head bored.

Many ministers looked at him strangely when they saw him, but they didn't say anything.

Of course, after many people saw him so young, their eyes flashed with thought, and then they suddenly realized.

They probably knew Ye Chen's identity.

In this way, many people's eyes have changed.

Curious, cold, scrutinizing, and even disdainful......

The whole nine yards!

Friendliness is almost invisible.

Ye Chen was indifferent, he was not familiar with these people, and it was unrealistic to expect people to have a good impression of him.

Although he is quite handsome.

But no one who went to court with him was a small role, and in front of these people, being handsome doesn't change anything.

Ye Chen didn't want to change anything.

He never thought about who he wanted to have a good relationship with, let alone who he wanted to talk to.

No need!

He's not like that, either.

"This strange colleague in front of you, please stay. ”

But at this moment, behind Ye Chen, a peaceful voice sounded.

"Huh?"

Ye Chen stopped and turned his head.

Behind him, a man in his early forties looked at him with a faint smile on his face.

It's right to call him.

"You called me?"

This person has a kind face, and he looks gentle, not hostile, and he is older than himself, so Ye Chen naturally respects him.

"Yes. ”

The man smiled and nodded, and asked, "Are you Lord Ye Chenye?"

"It's down there. ”

Ye Chen also smiled and nodded, and said, "Dare to ask the adult?"

"I'm Zhang Xuanwu. ”

The man smiled, ignoring the scrutiny of the other people around him, and said to Ye Chen: "A few days ago, I heard Wang Qinglong mention Lord Ye, and he has been friends for a long time, but he has never had time to visit. ”

"When I saw it today, I was really handsome, and it was a dragon and phoenix among people!"

Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then understood.

It turned out to be him.

One of the four powerhouses under the command of the empress, the commander of the Xuanwu battalion, Zhang Xuanwu, who is as famous as Wang Qinglong!
