Chapter II

Children will only distinguish between right and wrong, and adults will only weigh the pros and cons.

—Epigraph

The little emperor's eyes revealed a little light, and he didn't know if it was dissatisfaction or something else, it looked a little abnormal, and the coercion that belonged to the emperor was unrestrained.

Feeling the coercion of His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers also looked at each other, and did not know how to deal with it for a while.

The atmosphere in the entire court hall was extremely strange.

In addition to being dressed in purple, his hair was as white as snow, and the kind-eyed emperor seemed to smile more happily, and the corners of his mouth were curved like sickles. As if to say, Xiaoxiang, you are in a daze above the court, and you don't want to be sober and sober because you are a teacher.

The emperor seemed to find that his smug performance was too obvious, and raised his hand to stroke the corners of his mouth.

Well, for the sake of the teacher, you have to be calm and act again.

The little emperor didn't seem to notice the pride of the emperor, and some pale little faces had no waves, and his face was clear, just like the appearance of a Ming monarch and a holy lord.

and raised his hand to signal the emperor to continue.

"The queen must be a woman with both ability and political integrity, talent and appearance, and a prominent family background, preferably a woman with both civil and military skills."

After the emperor finished saying that he was both civil and military, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites retorted impatiently, saying that the queen was dignified, dancing with knives and guns, not what the mother of the country should be, and it was insulting.

The emperor smiled at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, patted the placket of his clothes, and said again: "Your Majesty, your body is weak, and your wife must be tall and mighty, infinitely powerful, and strong in martial arts, so as to protect you at all times."

"Your Majesty, you are laughing, Your Majesty is the most noble man in my dynasty, and he must be protected by the most courageous guards, the queen mother is the mother of the country, the example of women in the world, dancing with knives and guns, it is very indecent." Jang Jae retorted.

"Hehe, does the prime minister think that his daughter is willing to enter the palace? But I forgot that His Majesty the Emperor could not live the weak crown. "The Emperor Master said the most rebellious words in the calmest tone.

The hall was shocked, this emperor really dared to say it. No wonder there are rumors in the market that he would rather provoke the imperial nobles than meet the emperor.

But His Majesty the Emperor is indeed frail and sickly, and the imperial doctor has also asserted that he will not survive the age of the weak crown......

Some ministers who love their daughters like their lives are annoyed, these days, they are almost carried away by the interests of the family, and let their precious daughter marry the short-lived emperor.

"Moreover, you keep saying that your family background is prominent, if you only talk about the family background, who is better than Shangping Xihou Mansion above this court!"

"This ......"

The ministers were suddenly as quiet as chickens, and no one retorted......

The emperor on the dragon chair, looking at the ostrich-like shape of the minister below, showed a hint of a smile, and his face was still cold.

Since I ascended the throne, I have arranged blind dates every day, and I have not been able to go home every day, and even I can't have a meal or sleep if I want to. Scold! Now I remember that I didn't live long ago, and I behaved like this...... I just said that I will play at will and will not blame, and the emperor really dares to say it......

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid of their daughters being widowed, such as the father of the world's most talented woman who just finished expressing his opinion, Lu Xiaodong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"The minister thought that this woman could not be the master of this harem, and the minister heard rumors that this woman was eight feet tall, with a strong physique like a cow and a horse, and she could lift a jack with one hand." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's eyes showed a fierce light, his tone was quite unconvinced, and his eyes surrounded him.

As if to say: My daughter is the most worthy of the emperor, and the daughter of the Pingxi Hou Mansion does not have the appearance of her daughter's family, she is too rude, and she is not worthy.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites waved at the emperor and shouted:

"The courtier Lu Yao has both virtue and talent, and she is the best choice for the queen, Your Majesty!"

The little emperor waved his hand and motioned for the Ministry of Rites to retreat.

Looks like I need to add another fire.

So His Majesty the Emperor used a cold and lonely voice, which was different from the past, to state the facts.

"I am weak and sickly, and the imperial doctor once said that I will not live more than the years of the weak crown." The little emperor's voice gradually became smaller, and his gaze swept over the ministers.

The eyes of His Majesty the Emperor of the company, the palms of the ministers became wet, and some of them were sweating profusely, and they all looked like ostriches.

Looking at the situation in the Jinluan Palace, His Majesty the Emperor felt: Well, you can add some more firewood.

"I don't have a few years to live."

This sentence is almost none, but the ministers have heard it, and the Jinluan Hall at this time is so quiet that it can be heard that the needle drops, where is there still the twitter in front, no, it is to express their own opinions.

The emperor nodded secretly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up! Although he is still young, his words and deeds reveal the emperor's momentum, and the emperor's mental skills are even more handy.

Look, there are a few fragile old ministers who wet their eyes, as if they are sighing: Alas~ What a jealous talent! What a kid!

The emperor touched the flute on his waist and looked at these sad ministers sympathetically, this kid will pretend to be pitiful when he is a child, and he is a poor person who has been deceived. Sympathy is sympathy, the corners of the emperor's mouth are actually raised, and he seems to be very interested in this kind of scene.

"The choice of the queen is a matter of the country, and I can't make a judgment, it's all up to the Aiqing to decide."

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the situation below, and felt that he had almost achieved his goal, and he had returned to his previous loneliness and coldness, and the emperor's aura was even more obvious.

Prime Minister Zhang somehow began to sweat on his head. Ignoring this fine sweat, he moved forward, almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly adjusted his state to face the emperor.

shouted: "Miss Wenxin of Pingxi Houfu, who has both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, and a prominent family background, should be the best candidate for the queen of my dynasty." ”

Above the court, the civil and military officials looked at each other, and after several eye contacts, they shouted in unison: "Miss Wenxin of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, with both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, and a prominent family background, should be the best candidate for the queen of my dynasty."

The sound came in bursts, and the emperor's eyes were blazing, and the corners of his mouth were almost uncontrollable.

"Yes."

"Zhong Aiqing has something to do, so let's retire if I have nothing to do."

His Majesty the Emperor's voice was still cold and lonely, still looking like a Ming Monarch and Holy Lord, except that his voice was louder than usual.

………

After retreating, the hundred officials fell into deep thought......

Master Poison Tongue Emperor: Aren't you just tired of the forced marriage of civil and military officials, and you want me, the old bone, to come here in person. Hey~ One trip to the palace for two jars of hundred-year-old peach blossom brew, it's worth it.

Liu Shilang, who has no sense of crisis: Didn't the prime minister ask me to recommend his young lady! Why was he the first to change? No matter, hurry home and hug my five-year-old padded jacket.

Prime Minister Zhang, who was forced to change: The emperor has good intentions! Find ways to weaken the power of the ministers of the DPRK and China. It's good that I'm witty, otherwise it would have been miserable!

The Book of Rites who loves his daughter like his life: How should I explain to my good girl...... I want to cry without tears!

The ministers who forced the marriage together: Don't ask, if you ask, I don't know anything!

The emperor came to serve the little eunuch + Xiao Linzi, who couldn't rest well for many days: Get out! Don't suffer Lao Tzu!

……

His Majesty the Emperor, who succeeded in his treacherous scheme: Even if it is arranged by God, I can only obey the mandate of Heaven.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled heartily, very captivating~
