Chapter Seventy-Three: A Dilemma

"Your Majesty needs to give a reason to the hundred officials." When he opened his mouth, he hit the nail on the head, without any superfluous words, because on this occasion, it was more like a family gathering together to discuss right and wrong than a dialogue between monarchs and ministers.

None of the people present expected Jin Ran to be so direct, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, because Jin Ran at this time seemed undoubtedly sincere, without any conspiracy, and even Yan Shuyi's eyes when he looked at him at this time became gentler.

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of several people invariably turned to Yan Shuyi's body, although they didn't ask, it didn't mean that they didn't want to know the reason.

Yan Shuyi couldn't see the expression on his face, but everyone knew that he was thinking about how to explain to everyone that there were only three people in Yanjing City who were qualified to serve as prisoners, one was the most prestigious and the most vocal Empress Dowager Chu, and the other was Yan Shuheng, the king of Lu, who was average in ability but had a pure identity, and the last one was Yan Changfeng, who no one would think about.

Yan Changfeng is a woman, although there is no precedent in history for women to supervise the country, but it is all at the level of the queen mother, and the meaning of the queen mother and the princess is very different.

One is the emperor's elder and belongs to the emperor's guardian, and his status can be said to be higher than that of the emperor, but the other is the emperor's sister, so naturally it is not the same.

If there is only one Yan Changfeng person in the royal family, it is understandable, but in this situation, it is not her turn anyway.

For a while, he didn't know what kind of reason to use to convince these people, he only knew that among the three people who were qualified to stand in the position of prison, he only trusted Yan Changfeng, this was the truest reason in his heart, but for these people in front of him, he couldn't say that.

There was silence for a long time, no one urged, and no one broke the siege, Yan Shuyi knew that they were all waiting, and his patience was very good, he sighed, and said a little sickly: "You go out first, I have something to say to An Pingjun!" ”

When the four of them heard this, although they regretted it in their hearts, they didn't ask much, and after a good voice to appease them, they got up and left, but the other three looked as usual, but the Empress Dowager Chu's face was slightly embarrassed, and there was a little sad look, but several people took care of their own hearts, and no one saw it.

When the four of them left the dormitory, Yan Shuyi said quietly: "Although the Queen Mother supports me in everything, she is not my closest relative after all, and her relationship with me has been estranged a lot over the years, but she has gotten closer to her own son, which is why I didn't choose him."

As for Yan Shuheng, although his ability is average, he has great ambitions, and if he is allowed to be in the position of supervising the country, it will be disadvantageous to the country. Yan Shuyi didn't say much about King Lu, but just a few simple sentences could also penetrate his thoughts, and Jin Ran believed that this was also one of the reasons why he didn't choose Empress Dowager Chu.

After finishing speaking, Yan Shuyi closed his eyes and slipped into the quilt, with his back to Jin Ran, obviously he didn't plan to tell Jin Ran the reason for choosing Yan Changfeng, but it seemed that there was no need to say it.

Yan Shuyi said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in three words: "distrust", and the reason why he chose Yan Changfeng is that he believes in Yan Changfeng, and there may be another reason, but it is just Jinran's own guess, the idea is funny, but it is very convincing.

Regarding the matter of Jinhong and Yan Changfeng, some news has also reached Jinran's ears these days, for Yan Changfeng, Jinran is naturally a hundred satisfied, no matter how good he is, he is the best choice, such a woman can become the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, he Jinran can't ask for it.

So since Jin Ran knew about it, Yan Shuyi naturally knew about it, so Jin Ran guessed that the reason why Yan Shuyi chose Yan Changfeng to supervise the country was because he wanted to use this relationship to restrain himself, just imagine that as Yan Changfeng's future father-in-law, it is impossible for his daughter-in-law to embarrass his daughter-in-law in the court.

These are things that Yan Shuyi couldn't say, but he was guessed by Jin Ran, and after having the bottom in his heart, Jin Ran didn't continue to bother Yan Shuyi.

The time has passed noon, but the courtiers outside the Taihe Palace have no intention of leaving, they saw the Empress Dowager Chu and her party come out before, and they bowed one after another, because Yan Changfeng walked with them, so they did not directly state their intentions, but the intention of asking the Empress Dowager Chu to come to the court to govern is self-evident.

In the face of the request of the ministers, the Empress Dowager Chu just smiled and shook her head, indicating that everything was subject to His Majesty's arrangement, Yan Changfeng followed silently, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Yan Changfeng didn't like this feeling very much, especially the embarrassed two parties were still the queen mother who he regarded as his biological mother on weekdays.

The ministers who pleaded to no avail turned around and knelt at the door of the palace again, and waited until the sun was three poles before Jin Ran walked out of it Shi Shiran from inside.

"An Pingjun, has the emperor changed his mind?" This is the voice of all the officials present, so when this question came out, the officials who were originally rushing to gather towards An Pingjun slowed down their pace, and even their breathing was deliberately suppressed very slightly.

Jin Ran waved his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked forward, while those who stood in front of him slowly retreated with Jin Ran's steps, bowing slightly, but their eyes did not take half a minute off Jin Ran's body.

"What Your Majesty said, there is his own reason, we are waiting for the courtiers, just do what we are told."

As soon as Jin Ran's words fell, there were countless commotions on the field, and a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "The princess is in charge of the country, Yu Li is not in agreement, I and the others are soft-spoken, and I also ask An Pingjun to show our intentions in front of Your Majesty, if Your Majesty still insists on going your own way, we will die in front of this Taihe Palace, and we must persuade Your Majesty to change your mind." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Gong Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, this guy belonged to a full old antique, although his loyalty to the royal family was evident, but he was very resistant to some unconventional things from the bottom of his bones.

"Are you threatening Your Majesty, or are you threatening me?" Jin Ran's eyes were cold, and a momentum that had been in a high position for a long time invisibly emanated from Jin Ran's body, and Gong Jia was so shocked that he involuntarily took two steps back.

But Jin Ran still underestimated him, even if he was shocked by Jin Ran's momentum, it was only for a moment, and after two breaths, Gong Jia, who had stabilized his mind, still gritted his teeth and said: "The lower officials don't dare, they are just ministers, they should share the worries of the king, and the affairs of loyalty to the king, not only care about their own safety." ”

Jin Ran snorted and sneered: "What you said is a bit insinuating, if you want to die, you will die." ”

Then he raised his head and glanced at everyone, "If you still want to die, I won't stop you, but if you really want to do it for Your Majesty's good, you should retreat as soon as possible, so as to save Your Majesty's heart from worrying again?" ”

Gong Jia's face turned pale when he said one sentence, and the meaning in his words was very clear, that is, not only can you not be loyal to the monarch here, but it will also cause His Majesty's heart to be depressed, so that His Majesty's body will not recover for a long time.

Those who only looked forward to Jinran naturally left with Jinran's departure, and those neutral ministers did not want to wade into this troubled water again and quietly retreated.

Fang Xuan looked left and right, although they did not support Yan Shuyi's decision, but they did not have much resistance, now that the matter has come to this, if they know that they can't do it, it is not beautiful.

In this way, only Liu Jian and Gong Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, were left outside the Taihe Palace, with big eyes and small eyes, but just like that, Liu Jian hurriedly lowered his head, because he didn't want to have five finger prints on his face.

That's right, the previous slap print was Gong Jia's masterpiece.

Gong Jia snorted coldly, since everyone was gone, no matter how much he tried to die, it became meaningless, so he walked away with a stinky face.

……

Yan Changfeng went all the way back to his dormitory, and he could see that he was in a very bad mood, Xiang'er and Ling'er on the side thought that they had an awkward relationship with Jinhong, and just wanted to turn around to ask the reason, but they were supported by Yan Changfeng's voice, and the two girls naturally knew that Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to stay alone with Jin Gongzi for a while, so after hurriedly saying goodbye, they covered the door with their hands.

Jin Hong knew that Yan Changfeng was uncomfortable now, and he was a little in a dilemma, not for the Empress Dowager Chu, but for Jin Hong's father Jin Ran.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Chu has no intention of supervising the country, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so the embarrassment between her and the Empress Dowager Chu is only because of the courtiers, and it will be over.

At this time, Yan Changfeng was worried about Jin Ran, he had heard about how the imperial brother and An Pingjun had conflicts in the court, how they fought-for-tat, did not give in to each other, etc., but they were not the parties involved, so they did not have that kind of personal experience.

And now, when he was standing opposite him, this feeling became obvious, especially today, when Jin Ran stood in front of Yan Shuyi's bed and said the sentence "Your Majesty needs to give a reason to the hundred officials", Yan Changfeng could see the heavy powerlessness and deep sadness in Yan Shuyi's godless eyes.

Let me ask Dayan since the founding of Emperor Zhaolie, has there been a minister who dares to talk to the emperor like this?

So if she stands in this position in the prison country in the coming day, behind her is her imperial brother, and opposite is Jinhong's father, she doesn't know how to do it, how to balance the relationship between the two sides.

Jin Hong walked to Yan Changfeng's side gently, his heart was also full of flavors, he wanted to share the sorrows that should not belong to her for Yan Changfeng, but he found that he couldn't do anything, looking at the melancholy Yan Changfeng in front of him, Jin Ran found that his heart was painful.

"Changfeng" for a long time, Jin Ran still couldn't help but shout softly, Yan Changfeng turned his head and looked at Jin Hong, how could he not see the pity in his eyes, but just thinking about his heart just now, he was fascinated, and he actually forgot about the people around him, Yan Changfeng shook his head with a smile.

"It's okay, none of this has anything to do with you, Sir told me that your Tao does not allow you to mix in these annoying things, I can do it myself."

"I'll find a way to get Shuyi better soon, so you can get out."

"Mm-hmm" Yan Changfeng couldn't help but stretch out his slender right hand, caress Jinhong's cheek, and said with a gentle smile: "Then you can quickly make the imperial brother better." ”

Jin Hong's left hand covered Yan Changfeng's hand on his cheek, and his right hand gently stopped his slender waist, letting her body slowly lean on his body, "Father, I'll go back and talk to him, I don't think it will bring you too much pressure." ”

Yan Changfeng's little head leaning on Jin Hong's shoulder shook slightly, "I don't want you to get involved in these things." ”

Jin Hong smiled a little wickedly and said, "I'm not going to let him go to the prison country, but to ask him not to embarrass his future daughter-in-law." ”

"Who is his daughter-in-law!"

One sentence finally caused Changfeng to smile, and gently hammered the other party's shoulder with a fist, not so much anger, but more coquettishness between lovers, soft words with a warm breath on Jinhong's cheeks, making people a little uncomfortable.

Jin Hong's gaze shifted from his shy eyes to his tender lips, and then kissed them without hesitation.

This seems to be the first formal kiss between the two, this is the thought that popped up in Yan Changfeng's mind the next moment, and then with this thought, he was intoxicated in a blank.
