Chapter 140: The Pilgrimage

"Your Majesty, he doesn't know why, on the occasion of the New Year, he intends to draft girls into the palace, and now the queen's actions, in addition to inspecting the ladies, it is estimated that ...... Still measuring something else. ”

As for what this part of the stuff is, it doesn't need to be said explicitly, it is nothing more than involving the harem.

Yun Piaopiao is not a stupid person, and when she heard this, she suddenly understood and realized the seriousness of the matter, "Draft? But the Spring Festival in Kyoto is already chaotic, if you make a big fanfare......"

She didn't say the latter words, but Yun Piaopiao believed that Ji Fengyan understood what she meant.

"This is really what my father is worried about, originally we planned to wait and see, but now that the queen mother has made a move, then we can't wait any longer."

As he spoke, Ji Fengyan stood up and walked out of the door, his steps were a little hurried.

Even if his complexion still doesn't fluctuate much, it can still show the unrest in his master's heart.

If Your Majesty really wants to draft a draft, sooner or later the capital will be in chaos, and they must prepare early.

Yun Piaopiao did not stop it, but sat in his place and thought about it.

……

The study of the Guogong Mansion.

The British justice is sorting out today's things, and the music that is already about to be handed over, looks extremely attentive.

"Master, the son of the world is here." The little servant walked in softly, and reported the matter without disturbing the master of the Guogong Mansion.

Hearing this, the British Duke was a little surprised, but he still raised his head and said, "Yan'er? Let him in. ”

He is actually a little strange, because Ji Fengyan usually doesn't come to him, not to mention that this time is so special, it can't help but make people think about it.

The little guy retreated, and after a while, Ji Fengyan walked in.

"Father."

Ji Fengyan did a courtesy, and without waiting for the British public to ask, he had already directly said his intention, "Madame came back from the palace banquet today and told the child about the affairs of the palace, and the matter of Your Majesty's draft, it is estimated that there are nine times out of ten." ”

As soon as these words came out, the British public's pen hand suddenly paused, and he looked up at Ji Fengyan's eyes.

Neither father nor son spoke first, and after a while, the British Duke spoke, "Oh? Why did Yan Er say this? ”

Although the Duchess was also one of the candidates to go to the palace banquet, she did not tell him anything wrong.

Ji Fengyan said the queen's unclear attitude, and the British duke's brows furrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hands kept knocking on the table, and he was inevitably a little irritable in his heart.

"That's it, because my father knows, you go down first, don't act rashly."

The British Duke admonished, and there were not many ups and downs in his tone.

Ji Fengyan answered, left the study, and didn't ask a word.

……

The next day, before the time of the last dynasty, news came out from the harem that the queen mother occasionally felt a cold last night, and now she is bedridden, and the New Year's banquet is fully responsible for the queen mother.

As soon as the news came out, the British Duke and Ji Fengyan, who were standing at the gate of the palace waiting to be seen, were stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other and saw the same concern in each other's eyes.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, just after the palace banquet, the queen fell ill, and called out the right to prepare a banquet for the New Year......

I am afraid that there are many reasons for this to be inhumane.

"When the time comes, Xuan Qunchen will enter the palace!"

The shrill voice of the eunuch pierced the sky, and the officials who had already prepared followed the procession solemnly to the main hall.

In a short time, they were neatly arranged.

Because His Majesty had not yet arrived, the courtiers found their good colleagues and were talking in whispers.

And Ji Fengyan also came to the side of the British duke, "Father." ”

His voice was not loud, just enough for father and son to hear.

The British Duke did not look at him from the front of the car, but stared at the empty throne quietly, and only sighed after a while, "The one who came is not good." ”

Just four words are enough to explain the problem.

As we all know, the current queen is a member of their Ji family, and the queen is a relative of Prince Rong.

His Majesty got rid of the queen and let the queen mother take action, and I don't know what the deep meaning is.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from the side, and Prince Rong glared at the British duke, standing in his position and not speaking.

The British Duke was speechless.

But before he could say anything, the bell had already sounded truthfully, followed by the voice of the eunuch.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound of the rubbing of clothes was punctually connected on the eunuch's tail note, and the loud voice resounded throughout the hall, carrying the reverence of the ministers for the Son of Heaven.

Prince Rong and the British Duke were specially appointed to not kneel, and they also bent down, not daring to be the slightest bit wrong.

"Zhongqing is flat." The emperor held his hands in a weak hand, showing his majesty.

After the ministers got up and the eunuchs asked to retreat as usual, the court meeting officially began.

Officials everywhere are starting to report.

As is customary, the first half is a little trivial, so everyone returns to their places and carries out a necessary process, and as for the rest, there are not many exceptions.

Time passed minute by minute, fewer and fewer people came out, and only after no one did the emperor look down and speak again.

"Do you have any other important things?"

Everyone was silent, and an official wearing a three-rank official uniform suddenly stood up with a very solemn expression, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

The emperor bowed slightly, indicating that he agreed, but the other people had different thoughts in their hearts, and after Ji Fengyan saw clearly who stood up, his heart suddenly jumped.

"Your Majesty, now in the New Year, but Your Majesty's harem is sparse, it will inevitably make other countries that offer gifts see the jokes, and the minister implores Your Majesty to open the palace door and draft a girl to strengthen the majesty of our dynasty!"

When these words came out, many officials in the hall looked at the same time.

Here it comes!

The emperor didn't speak, and the official continued to add very calmly, "Your Majesty, this is a double happiness, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" ”

As he spoke, he fell to his knees so that everyone could not see his expression clearly.

"What do you think?" The Emperor's gaze swept around and asked out loud.

No one dared to respond, this was obviously a play directed and acted by the other party, and the purpose was very clear.

If you refuse, you are against the Son of Heaven, but if you agree...... Kyoto really can't be messed up!

"Your Majesty, the draft has always been the decision of the harem, and it should be presided over by the queen's mother, and the ministers should be ...... Discord with the number of courtesies! ”

An official came out of the column and said, lowering his head and not daring to look at the emperor's expression at all.

The emperor didn't speak, but his face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, "The queen is sick, I really can't bear her to run around, and the queen mother is in charge of the New Year's banquet, and she can't get out." ”

The implication is that the ministers have to come up with a charter.
