Chapter 0158 - Quelling the Rumors

All the officials of His Royal Highness, seeing such an empress, and hearing her call herself 'lonely', sighed in their hearts, it seems that the rumors are not groundless, although the emperor shows the righteousness, but it is not difficult to see that there is nothing to be done in the heart, a woman is a woman after all, and the rumored creation empress will never appear again, alas, .......

Seeing that his sixth sister was so humble and polite, Baili Rank also knew that he couldn't resist her, but he was afraid that he would be humble again, and the sixth sister would be unhappy when the time came, and then she would disappear without a trace, and she couldn't find the door wherever she cried, so she had to sigh in her heart, and sat on the throne of Jinluan with a light swing of the dragon robe.

Feng eyes narrowed, looking around at His Royal Highness's hundred officials, Gu Youlan lightly lifted the lotus step, and sat down coldly on the side of Feng Luan, and said no more.

"Zhong Aiqing, tomorrow is the opening day of the national strength competition, how are the ministries preparing?"

After a while, he glanced at His Royal Highness and said loudly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has decorated the way of the post station to the venue of the Dabi in accordance with the etiquette of various countries and the terms of the previous competitions to ensure the smooth progress of the competition!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has completed the three rings of civil, military and weapon required by Dabi in accordance with the regulations of the previous Dabi to ensure the smooth progress of Dabi!"

"Back to Your Majesty, in order to ensure the order of Dabi that day, the military department has sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to block the capital on all sides, and sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses, one person in five steps, one post in ten steps, and fifty people as a team to patrol and defend step by step."

"Well, yes, you Aiqing have worked hard. So have all the members of our country been arranged? ”

Hearing this, Baili was greatly admired, and then asked a new question.

"Back to Your Majesty, the three participants of this big competition have been arranged in place, and there are twenty people in the poetry and essay competition, all of whom are recommended by various divisions. There are twenty people in the martial arts competition, all of whom are high-level spiritual warriors recommended by the Ministry of War. ”

"The three competitions of refining, alchemy, and beast taming, a total of twenty people, are also in place, but the skill level of these twenty people is not very high."

When Hubu Shangshu said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Youlan, and then continued.

"The highest is the alchemy five people recommended by Danchunfang in the capital, all of whom are three grades."

"The refining is recommended by the Mijia Jewelry Company in the capital, and they are both second-grade."

"The beast tamer is the four people recommended by the Yan family's beast taming company in the capital, and they are all second-grade."

"The rest are all first-class or beginners who have not yet reached the rank."

As Tobe Shangshu said, his voice was obviously much quieter, but he was afraid that because the grade of the contestants this time was not high, His Majesty would be furious.

"Well, I know, the previous national power competitions have been clearly restricted, and the participants must not be more than twenty-five years old, so it doesn't hurt to have a lower grade!"

After hearing this, Baili nodded at the head of the household, although he did not praise it much, but he did not reprimand it much.

"Your Majesty, the old minister still has one more matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

A little, as if he had made some major decision, he took a deep breath and then said.

"Oh? Wen Aiqing, you are the head of the household, but everything that is beneficial to our country, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Your Majesty, please first cure the old minister's great disrespectful sin!"

Wen Shangshu looked at Gu Youlan, who was sitting next to the emperor, and knelt on his knees and shouted loudly.

Seeing Wen Shangshu, he looked at himself three times and twice, and combined with the rumors about himself in the palace, Gu Youlan hooked the corners of her lips, and her heart was clear.

"It seems that these civil and military officials in the palace really have a lot of complaints about themselves, is it really because they are too soft-hearted? Whatever it is, I'd like to hear how disrespectful this old fellow is to me! ”

Thinking of this moment, Gu Youlan put down the shoulders that had been holding up, and leaned lazily back in the chair, leisurely.

The other officials in the main hall, seeing Wen Shangshu's move, realized in their hearts, and they all secretly looked at the emperor, and then looked at Gu Youlan, and they all pinched a cold sweat for Wen Shangshu.

Yesterday morning, because of a rumor in the palace, the emperor was furious and angry, which shows how much His Majesty treats his six emperor sisters, the current empress, how much he is maintained and favored.

Thinking of this, the officials were still panicked, and they were even more shocked that Wen Shangshu dared to touch His Majesty's reverse scales.

Hearing Wen Shangshu's words and seeing his actions at the moment, Baili Rank immediately understood his intentions, but as the king of a country, the courtiers had already pleaded guilty in advance, so how could he not let him make it clear.

Frowning and glancing at his sixth sister, Baili finally sighed helplessly.

"Wen Aiqing, you say, I will forgive you for your innocence."

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie."

Wen Shangshu wiped the cold sweat from his head, slowly got up from the ground, took a deep breath again, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, this time the national strength competition, because of the age limit of the participants, it is really impossible to find a higher level of personnel, so ...... In order to demonstrate the prestige of the country and for our country to be able to win the top spot in this competition, the old minister dared to recommend the emperor to represent our country in the competition, and let the emperor make a contribution to our country! ”

"Presumptuous!" "Bold!"

Suddenly, two voices came at the same time, one was the emperor who was sitting at the top, and the other was the voice of the bell outside the main hall.

Suddenly hearing this second voice, the officials were immediately frightened and hurriedly turned their heads to look.

I saw the Emperor Taishang Baili Chenjiang, striding with his hands behind his back.

"See the Emperor, long live long live, long live!"

"Meet my father!"

Walking quickly to the top of the main hall, Baili Chenjiang turned around with solemn eyes.

"Well, get up!"

"Wen Shangshu, you repeat what you just said!"

Seeing the arrival of the Emperor Taishang, Wen Shangshu, who was still full of righteousness and awe-inspiring just now, immediately trembled like a rooster falling into the water, sweating like rain.

"Xiaguan, don't dare to ......"

"Don't dare? Haha, I see how bold you are! ”

Baili Chenjiang shook his sleeves while pointing at the hundreds of officials under His Royal Highness, and continued with a cold face.

"I, I've been traveling abroad for a while, not only have I appreciated the great rivers and mountains of my country, but also heard a lot of strange things, needless to say, the scenery is beautiful, just talk about these rumors."

When everyone heard that the Emperor Taishang actually mentioned the word rumors, they instantly beat drums in their hearts, and their hands and feet panicked.

"Emperor Qiyu, since it is a rumor, that is to say, the rumor is not credible."

Yan An, who was standing on the side and always looking at the lively Zuo Xiang, suddenly took a step and said with his hand.

"Not credible? I see that you believe it very much, and there is still a tendency to make a lot of publicity! ”

Seeing that all the officials lowered their heads weakly, Baili Chenjiang frowned.

"You are all my princess, cowardly as a mouse, soft-hearted, not only does not have the ability to govern a country, but also does not contribute half a point to the country of Baili."

"Even if on the day of her accession to the throne, there is an amazing scene of a hundred birds and a phoenix, she can only be a queen like her mother, then today I will tell you how my beloved daughter, my princess, and the empress and empress of the Baili Kingdom are soft-hearted, and how they have not made half a contribution to the Baili Country!"

After that, he glanced at his attendant eunuch Fang Youquan, and Fang Youquan understood, and immediately took out a palm-sized memory crystal.

Without saying anything, I saw Baili Chenjiang suddenly inject a trace of spiritual power into the memory crystal, and in an instant, a white light filled the entire Chongyang Palace.

In the white light, there was an incomparably clear picture, and in the picture was the scene of Gu Youlan leading thousands of spirit beast clans to raid the 300,000 army of Gongxi Kingdom.

The sky was overcast, the wind was blowing, thunder and lightning were roaring, and the rain was pouring down.

Suddenly, the flames were everywhere, and with a wolf howl, thousands of steppe wind wolves rushed out of the mountain range in an instant, baring their fangs and biting, the flame lion opened its bloody mouth and devoured it, the giant white ape slapped its chest like a steel plate and tore it, and tens of thousands of eagle falcons were like offline feather arrows, shuttling and neighing.

The whole scene is drenched in blood, the fire is soaring, and the scene is tragic and unsightly.

From beginning to end, everyone had an unobstructed view and were immersed, even Gongxi Ziyu's words shouting that Gu Youlan was a demon were clear in their ears, as if they were seeing them.

Seeing this scene at first glance, all the officials were suddenly frightened and terrified, and even more timid people covered their chests one after another, sweating profusely and being shocked.

"Oh my God, this is terrible, I really didn't expect the 300,000 troops of Gongxi Kingdom to disappear like this!"

"Yes, that's the 300,000 elite division of Gongxi Kingdom, and it was devoured by a group of spirit beasts like this!"

"Not only that, you see that fire is like a heavenly fire, no matter how heavy the rain is, the fire will only burn more and more, it is simply sensational!"

"It turns out that the prince of Gongxi did not die, but let the empress imprison him, which is simply very happy!"

"I'll go, this dead and wounded is not because it's not our soldiers from the Hundred Miles Country, this scene is simply exciting!"

A little, the officials who came back to their minds, from this scene, immediately thought of the day the empress ascended the throne to worship the ancestors, the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix was like a night of spring breeze blowing, everyone's faces showed excitement, and their eyes showed joy.

Retracting his spiritual power and lifting the hem of his clothes, Baili Chenjiang sat on the throne of Jinluan with a proud face.

"Ministers, seeing this scene, do you still think that my princess is as timid as a mouse and soft-hearted? Didn't make half a contribution to our country? Is it even more unbearable to sit on this hundred miles of rivers and mountains? ”

Hearing this, all the officials immediately bowed their heads and stepped forward one after another to express their voices loudly.

"Returning to the emperor, the empress does not let the women have eyebrows, cultivates to be profound, bold and careful, and intelligent, and is really an example for the people of the world!"

"Returning to the emperor, the empress is benevolent and righteous, and the house is on the right path, it is the heart of those who create rumors and villains, and they live with themselves."

"Returning to the Emperor's ......"

"Returning to the Emperor's ......"

Seeing the faces of His Royal Highness's officials at this moment, although Gu Youlan's face was indifferent, she sneered in her heart.

"Hmph, these people are really masters of changing their faces, this move of seeing the wind and making the rudder and everyone is really amazing and breathtaking."
