Chapter 51: Uncontrollable Love (1)
Dongyang Council Hall
The light of his eyes swept over the lowered faces of everyone in the hall: "Do you have any good ideas?" Lan Lingxuan slowly opened his mouth, and there was a bit of the courage of a king in his words.
Silence once again enveloped the entire council hall.
The king in the high position was waiting for the answer, and in the high position, everyone was in danger, for fear that they would be handpicked out by Lan Lingxuan if they were not careful.
Lan Lingxuan stared at this group of shrunken courtiers, already distraught, and at this moment, he was even more troubled.
"Your Majesty" for a long time, a slightly low but confident voice broke the long-standing silence in this hall.
Everyone looked at each other in pairs, very curious about who the speaker was, and after looking around, they found that the person who spoke was a new official standing at the gate of the temple, and some people's curiosity instantly turned into full of disdain, and of course there were still people who admired this speaker.
After all, above this court, the newly promoted officials have no right to speak, and this person's behavior will inevitably attract people's handles.
Undoubtedly, the appearance of this person was extremely gratifying to Lan Lingxuan, and Lan Lingxuan moved his eyes to the place where the voice came from.
I saw that the person who spoke was actually a newly promoted official, and his thin lips were slightly hooked: "Who is the person who spoke?"
Everyone turned sideways, especially the ministers who were standing in front of the person who spoke, and they all made way for Lan Lingxuan's eyes.
Through everyone, the man looked a little immature in court clothes, and the bookish anger on his body was even more simple than that was rarely seen in this officialdom.
Facing everyone's gaze, he was not cowardly at all, but rather made this person a little atmospheric: "The minister's name is Zhuo Yan"
"Zhuo Yan" stared at the man, the smile on that handsome face was even more profound, Lan Lingxuan stared at the man who was quite different, and said, "Oh, Zhuo Yan, what plan do you have?"
The person who dares to recommend himself is by no means an ordinary person, he Lan Lingxuan wants to see if this Zhuo Yan can give him a good plan, although it is not a particularly important matter, but he urgently needs someone to give him advice.
In the huge hall, everyone listened with bated breath as the man who had recommended himself to speak his opinion, and some of them couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard the place of approval, and even the ministers who looked at him with disdain at first had a great change in their opinion of this man.
That Zhuo Yan is indeed a talent, and he thinks of things that others can't imagine, even beyond anyone's imagination.
In just a few words, he analyzed the matter thoroughly, and at the same time, he answered those doubts one by one, and came up with countermeasures, which made Lan Lingxuan also appreciate the talent of this man named Zhuo Yan.
"What the subordinates want to say has been said, please make a decision" Zhuo Yan bent down towards Lan Lingxuan and arched his hand, but his eyes were always lowered.
Zhuo Yan's words Lan Lingxuan listened to every sentence in his ears, he clearly knew that what he said was very reasonable, Lan Lingxuan looked at him appreciatively, and said: "Just do it according to the method that Zhuo Yan said, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, although they were a little dissatisfied that this Zhuo Yan had been appreciated by the king, but they had to echo Zhuo Yan's plan, which was indeed a good strategy.
After everyone had no objections, Lan Lingxuan got up, and the palace people around him immediately screamed when they saw the king get up: "The king is driving and retreating."
It's just that to everyone's surprise, the king who slowly walked down the high position, not walked the path on both sides of the crowd, but walked in the direction where Zhuo Yan stood.
When he reached Zhuo Yan's body, Lan Lingxuan paused and said in a low voice: "You go with this king"
The words fell low in Zhuo Yan's ears, and also fell into the ears of the officials standing near Zhuo Yan.
Immediately, the officials also expected that from now on, this nameless petty official named Zhuo Yan would definitely be reused by the East King.
On the winding corridor, the group walked slowly at an extremely slow pace, but the palace people did not follow closely behind the man in red, but walked behind the man at some distance, and the man who followed closely behind the man in red was dressed in a dark blue court robe, which looked a little dull compared to the dazzling red.
"Do you know why this king wants you to follow behind" The words that were so faint that there was not a trace of them slowly fell, Lan Lingxuan stared at the palace where he had lived for more than twenty years.
"The subordinates don't know" Zhuo Yan followed Lan Lingxuan's footsteps, and after following Lan Lingxuan out of the council hall, his only action was to keep his eyes down.
Since leaving the Council Palace, this was the first thing Lan Lingxuan said to Zhuo Yan, and it was also the first question.
"Heh" An extremely shallow smile overflowed from the man's mouth, making people a little confused, what the hell was the king in front of him thinking, "But it doesn't matter, tell this king what you think in your heart, this king will not blame you"
"The subordinates don't dare to speculate on the king's holy will" As Lan Lingxuan paused, Zhuo Yan didn't dare to slack off at all, and never dared to surpass Lan Lingxuan.
"Oh, Zhuo Qing's family seems to be too humble" The voice fell lightly, Lan Lingxuan glanced at Zhuo Yan behind him, and walked forward again.
"It is the king who exalts his ministers"
"The Qing family is questioning the king's ability to identify talents" The smile slowly fell, and Zhuo Yan's steps were still moving forward step by step, following the steps of the king in front of him.
When the words fell, Zhuo Yan was slightly stunned, and he used words to deal with Lan Lingxuan's words, but he didn't expect that Lan Lingxuan smiled before he spoke: "How many years has Zhuo Qing's family been an official in the court?"
Seeing that Lan Lingxuan had diverted the topic, Zhuo Yan replied slowly: "Back to the king, the subordinate has been an official in the court for more than three years" Zhuo Yan replied in a tone full of respect.
The beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and Lan Lingxuan looked at the person in front of him.
For more than three years, Lan Lingxuan chewed on this sentence, he became a newly promoted official in the past three years, if it was a few years later, what would the person in front of him do
It was precisely because he expected that he would have such an ability that Lan Lingxuan would summon him alone.
Lan Lingxuan knew that he had intentionally or unintentionally tried it, and with Zhuo Yan's intelligence, he must have guessed seven points, so he collected the other three points and left them as a suspense, on the one hand, to test whether this man really had the ability to assist him in handling political affairs, and on the other hand, for him, he was also in urgent need of such a person to help him at the moment.
After a few words, there was only silence left between the monarch and the minister.
After walking through the long and winding corridor, Lan Lingxuan let Zhuo Yan retreat and leave.
Staring at the departure of that dark blue figure, Lan Lingxuan couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, so that he didn't notice that someone behind him was staring at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was also smiling presumptuously, smiling brightly, comparable to the bright light under the warm sun.
It wasn't until the man lazily made a voice to show his presence that Lan Lingxuan's attention was aroused.
"Tsk, tsk, the king's smile really compares to women" The lazy words slowly fell, looking so unscrupulous, and he was not worried that the man in front of him would be guilty of his disrespect.
Sure enough, Lan Lingxuan listened to the familiar voice, and replied with a smile without looking back: "Mu Qing seems to be less and less interested in this king" There was no trace of reproach in his words.
"How dare Yang Mu not put the king in his eyes, looking at the world, except for women, the king is the first place in Mu Qing's heart" A touch of playfulness appeared next to the corner of Yang Mu's mouth, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious and profound.
"It's rare that Yang Mu will take Ling Xuan to heart" Lan Lingxuan turned around and looked at Yang Mu who appeared behind him at some point, his eyes were full of helpless smiles: "Why are you back, didn't you say that you will travel all over the world in the future and never set foot in this deep palace again" The irrepressible excitement in his heart was suppressed by Lan Lingxuan, the person standing in front of him was his best friend since he was a child, and the only person who knew him in this world was him.
"What a cold attitude, the king is such a ruthless person, he has forgotten all about everyone, but he misses Xuan'er very much, and he came back" Yang Mu shrugged his shoulders and smiled back in a mocking tone, facing the friend in front of him who had become the emperor, and his heart was also soft and soft for a long time.
The two people standing facing each other understood each other's thoughts very well, and they only needed one glance, one glance was enough, so they didn't say anything more
Leave the palace people and stroll through the promenade.
It is still a winding corridor, and the cold silence on weekdays is completely replaced by the chatter and laughter along the way at this moment.
"How" Yang Mu coldly teased such a headless and brainless sentence, which made Lan Lingxuan slightly stunned, and a trace of confusion gradually arose in his heart.
"What?" he asked lightly, but he gradually understood the meaning of the words in his heart.
"She's back to Xiling" The straightforward words woke up all the people that Lan Lingxuan wanted to forget, and all the things he had forgotten.
Without making a sound, Lan Lingxuan just shook his head, but then nodded after shaking his head.
Whether she is back to Xiling or not, he doesn't know, maybe the answer is yes, maybe not.
He thought he had forgotten that day, but in fact, he was just deceiving himself, everything seemed to have happened yesterday, and he remembered that feeling vividly.
disappeared, she disappeared out of thin air in the crowd, heh, how could it be that she disappeared out of thin air, she should have been taken away
He ordered to search all corners of the city, and did not allow the guards to let go of the slightest, but she still didn't see her.
She left, but it was his whole heart that was taken away, and the heart that had been waiting for her for a year finally came back, but was taken away by her again.
Sometimes, he wonders if God is deliberately against him.
Like a joke, he thought he could keep her, and when he got her, she was still taken away.
When he was hesitating, she untied the knot in his heart for him, and let him know again that although his mother was not his biological mother, how much his mother loved him, and under her words, he already knew it in his heart.
The call of "Xuan, Xuan" became closer and closer, slowly retrieving the source of the sound from Lan Lingxuan's thousands of thoughts.
"You can't give up at the mention of her, what a lover" The slightly ridiculous words overflowed, and Yang Mu sighed softly.
"Idiot, if I am an idiot, then the saint of love must be you" Lan Lingxuan replied to Yang Mu dissatisfiedly, and when the words fell, Lan Lingxuan suddenly realized that he had touched Yang Mu's heart and could not forgive himself the most, but when he regretted it, it was too late.
The strength of the person in front of him is far from being comparable to his own, how sad it is that the beloved died for himself, and yet the beloved died without saying a word of forgiveness for himself.
"Love saint, how can I be worthy, but a fool, a fool who doesn't understand anything" Yang Mu smiled coldly, counting himself contemptuously.
"Fools are fools" Lan Lingxuan whispered this sentence with feeling, and the words were slight enough, but they were extremely clear to Yang Mu.
"The emperor's love is too heavy, too beautiful, no wonder she will escape" seemed to have no intention of saying this, but it made Lan Lingxuan's heart slap in the face.
