Chapter 223: Persecution in the court

Just thinking about this, he felt a headache, no wonder Sage Kong would say that only villains and women are difficult to raise, it seems that the ancients really did not deceive me.

I put this matter aside so easily today, thinking that I was just letting my guard down, and I was afraid that tomorrow would be the time for real trouble.

However, today's words from the Ministry of Rites also reminded him that if Concubine Zhong couldn't wake up, it would indeed be impossible to do without a lead dancer, and it seemed that he could only find a replacement.

After a little contemplation, he wrote three large characters on the paper: Bu Saitama.

Looking at the name he wrote down with satisfaction, he believed that this woman would definitely become a lead dancer who was different from them, and he believed that this year's sacrifice ceremony would be even more lively.

Just went to the early court, he was ready, but he didn't expect that today's Ministry of Rites Shangshu seemed to have changed like a person, although it was still those words, but it was changed to a more beautiful statement, so that he didn't even have the idea of refusing.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I went back and thought about your proposal yesterday carefully, and I think it's not unreasonable, so I must have chosen a candidate last night, and as for what you said, I don't need to." The emperor interrupted the words of the Ministry of Rites and said bluntly.

Now it was his turn to be dumbfounded, he had thought about these words for a long time, but he didn't expect His Majesty to have already selected people, and no matter how much he prepared, it would be in vain.

A gloomy flash flashed in Lu Xiang's eyes, and he said lightly: "I don't know which lady Your Majesty has chosen?" Can you tell the ministers? It's also good to let the ministers and others help His Majesty think about it, after all, this sacrificial ceremony is a big deal, and it can't be nonsense. ”

"Don't worry, Lu Xiang, the person I personally chose will naturally not make any mistakes." After speaking, there was a mysterious smile on his face, and he seemed to have a lot of confidence in this person.

The candidate for this lead dancer is only his granddaughter Lu Yanlan, and anyone else who wants this position must carefully consider whether they have this qualification.

"Your Majesty, this is a major matter related to the country, and you must not be sloppy. If the person you choose is not enough to convince the public, please ask Your Majesty to choose Lu Guifei. Lu Xiang knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Lu Xiang kneeling, everyone knelt down one after another, saying that Concubine Lu was the most appropriate candidate, and asked the emperor to think twice.

If it was in the past, he would have helped Lu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground to his feet, but today he didn't, but asked, "What?" Do you think my vision is not as good as yours? Or do you think I'm tempted by beauty? Say! ”

Seeing that the emperor was furious, these people just knelt on the ground without saying a word, and Lu Xiang was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows that this lady in your heart may be both talented and beautiful, but this sacrificial ceremony is not something she can come to nonsense, no matter what she said to Your Majesty, or what Your Majesty promised this lady, please think twice about this matter,"

After speaking, he wiped away the old tears in his eyes, and then said: "Although Lan'er is not the most popular with His Majesty, she is the most measured, and it is even more suitable for her to be the lead dancer of the sacrificial ceremony. ”

"Please think twice about Your Majesty and choose Lu Guifei as the lead dancer." The rest of the people spoke in unison.

It's really good, everyone dares to go against him, and as for Lu Guifei's matter, he really doesn't want to have any changes, "Don't worry, this woman I chose is better than Lu Guifei, and she is also between the best." ”5599

He just won't change people today, he wants to see what else these people can do.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up again, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, which lady in your heart may be better in your heart, but you defend her so much today and say good things for her, the minister has to suspect that she is seducing the Lord, if this is the case, this woman will not be able to stay." ”

"Presumptuous! Zhou Kang, do you know what you're talking about? Is it also something you can say about the Lord? Do you know the consequences of this? He didn't expect this Zhou Kang to dare to speak like this.

Taking off the black gauze hat on his head, he bent over and cried bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, maybe you think that the minister is targeting this lady, but the minister will die today, and every sentence is from the bottom of his heart, if His Majesty does not believe it, the minister will die on this hall, so that His Majesty will wake up." ”

This Zhou Kang wasn't like this yesterday, who taught him this, rubbing the corners of his eyes with a headache, "Come on, take him down to me, and groom him." ”

finally dealt with Zhou Kang, but the people below were still kneeling and sighed helplessly. "Alright, get up. I have already decided on this matter, no matter how you kneel, I will not change my mind. ”

After saying this, he turned around and sat on the dragon chair, but saw that the people below were still indifferent, and they refused to get up one by one, which was really backbone.

"Since you want to kneel, then kneel." After saying that, he left directly.

On the way back to the imperial study, he was even more angry, and his face was extremely ugly. "Your Majesty, those adults are still kneeling, why don't you really go back and take a look?" Xiao Luzi asked a little apprehensively.

"If you don't go back, these old things will only do this trick, since they want to kneel, then let them kneel, and when they kneel enough, they will naturally get up." After saying that, he entered the imperial study.

The emperor has already left, and it will be boring to kneel down again, and everyone will stand up one after another and leave, but these folds sent over in the afternoon are all persuasions to him, and the praise and praise of Lu Guifei are even more varied, and he is green when he sees it.

"Your Majesty, you'd better dissipate. If you're angry, it's not your own body, and the dragon body is heavy. Xiao Luzi said with some distress.

threw the fold directly to the ground, and said with a gloomy face: "These people are really shameless, they can say anything." I have never even seen the people I have chosen, and there is a burst of criticism about how these people became the pillars of the country. ”

"Your Majesty, you are angry. None of these ministers have seen Bu Jieyu, so naturally they don't know how good she is. Moreover, Concubine Lu was born in a famous family, and her reputation had spread all over Kyoto before she entered the palace, so it was not surprising that the ministers thought so. He said with a smile as he picked up the fold on the ground.

The emperor who listened nodded again and again, it is not unreasonable to say this, after all, Bu Saiyu is not from Kyoto, and it should be that these people don't know.

But how did he know who he was looking for? "Bold little way, did you peek at what I wrote?"

"The slave is wronged, how dare the slave dare to do this kind of thing, but His Majesty's face has been written very clearly, why should the slave go to see any words." After that, I didn't forget to smile at the emperor.
