Nearly five days later, Ling Tiancheng took Zhuang Siyan back to the palace.

They went back in a carriage, and the imperial guards who drove the carriage handed Ling Tiancheng's pass card at the gate of the palace, and the two of them entered smoothly.

But in the palace, he met many ministers who came to the early dynasty.

Fortunately, the night was still very dark, and the light of the lanterns was limited, and although the ministers were a little surprised to see the carriage entering, they did not say much when they saw that the guards had let them go.

There is a curfew at the entrance to the palace.

In addition to the internal guards, outsiders can not enter the palace, carriages and sharp weapons can not enter, so the ministers usually sit in a sedan chair in the court, even if they come by car in a hurry, and when they arrive at the palace gate, they will take the initiative to come down and walk in.

Therefore, Ling Tiancheng's carriage was still very unusual when he walked inside, especially when he didn't stop where it should stop like other sedan chairs, but went straight into the palace gate and went inside.

Some discerning people have already seen that this may be the emperor's frame.

Luo Ke also saw it, his eyes narrowed, and then he walked inside as if he didn't see anything.

Xiao Anguo happened to be next to him, so he asked with a slap on his face: "Lord Luo, why did the carriage go directly into the middle and right gate, and then it was a harem." ”

Luo Ke didn't even look at him, and replied lightly: "It's better to talk less about the affairs in the palace", and walked in at a faster pace.

Today, Ling Tiancheng's morning is late.

This was the first time since he became emperor.

Late, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all stood on the Golden Palace and waited for him.

Li Fu was also standing next to the dragon chair, and had already announced that Ling Tiancheng would come back later, but some ministers still whispered.

There is another person who is also late today, and that is Zhuang Changyuan.

However, he had arrived a little earlier than Ling Tiancheng.

Originally, he was a little worried, afraid that he would be too late just after he returned to the court, and someone would say in front of Ling Tiancheng that he was holding him up.

At this time, Zhuang Changyuan didn't want to take on this name, so he was urging the carriage all the way, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he trotted all the way to Nanchen Gate.

I took a few breaths at the door before moving inside.

As a result, I saw that the dragon chair above was empty, and Ling Tiancheng was not there.

After asking his colleagues around him, he learned that Ling Tiancheng was late today.

Zhuang Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Luo Ke out of the corner of his eye.

Luo Ke didn't look at him, his eyes and nose stared at his toes, as if the noise in the Golden Palace had nothing to do with him.

Half an hour later, Ling Tiancheng came.

The ministers saluted.

Asked why he came late, Ling Tiancheng said: "I contracted some wind chill last night, and I took medicine at night, which has a sleeping effect, so I got up late." ”

The ministers were concerned again.

In the final analysis, many ministers in the court are also good at making mud, anyway, they don't have anything to do, and they just need to ask for an excerpt every once in a while to prove their existence, and they also care about the emperor very much.

Zhuang Changyuan is also fine, since he returned to the dynasty, he has been very fine, although his past duties have all returned, but in order not to attract Ling Tiancheng's attention, he is much more low-key than before.

On the contrary, it was Luo Ke, who played a thing today.

It was said that there were water bandits and barbarian scourges in the south of the Dasheng Dynasty, and let Ling Tiancheng solve it quickly.

Ling Tiancheng asked: "The south is close to the sea, and there are often barbarians, and it is difficult for the people of our dynasty to live in peace after all these years, so it is time to send someone to give them a few colors." ”

He looked down over the faces of each of the ministers, and then asked them, "Ministers, is there a suitable candidate?" ”

Someone immediately remembered Ye Yuanpei.

"The minister thinks it's better to transfer General Ye back."

Ling Tiancheng let out an "oh": "Aiqing tell me why?" ”

The minister told Ye Yuanpei that he was arrogant and proclaimed himself king in the north, and even said with a scare: "Your Majesty, General Ye was named a victorious general by the people in the north, and he was even more popular there."

After a long time, the ministers were afraid that the people in the north would only know him General Ye, and forget that this is the land of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Now that there is chaos in the south, General Ye will be transferred back, one to see his loyalty, and the other to see if he is really undefeated.

Another point is that it can give him a warning, this world is the emperor's heaven, and the emperor will go wherever he goes, instead of letting him do whatever he wants. ”

It may be that he saw that Ling Tiancheng had not interrupted him, so this minister, the more he talked, the more he shook, it was such a big talk.

Although it was true that Ye Yuanpei was in it, when the other ministers heard the end, they felt that he was jealous, rather than really thinking about the Dasheng Dynasty.

As soon as the minister's words fell, someone immediately stood up and said: "The emperor can't, General Ye is arrogant, that is the integrity of a general, but if he is proud of his merits and self-established as a king, he still has to show a certificate."

Moreover, General Ye has always guarded the northern border, and he is also good at fighting with the enemy in the north, if he is transferred, those enemies who are eyeing him will inevitably take advantage of the weakness.

And the south is not a battlefield he is good at, and he doesn't have to give full play to his strengths, and then he is afraid of other accidents. ”

Other officials also had something to say, and as before, they quickly divided into two factions, advocating that Ye Yuanpei be transferred to the south, and on the other hand, they were dead or alive.

Ling Tiancheng waited until they finished arguing before he spoke up: "What the ministers said is very reasonable, and I have heard it. Now I want to ask you, apart from Ye Yuanpei, are there any other generals who can go to the southern border? ”

Someone immediately said: "This matter is none other than General Ye." ”

Ling Tiancheng's gaze was instantly sharp: "According to what you say, our Dasheng Dynasty has no generals except Ye Yuanpei, yes or no?" ”

There was a sudden sound of crows in the golden palace, and no one made a sound.

Ling Tiancheng's eyes swept over the faces of every minister below with their heads bowed like sharp blades.

His voice eased and asked, "Xiang Zhuang, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhuang Changyuan hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, how many civil and military talents there are in the court, the emperor knows best, and it is most appropriate for you to decide this matter." ”

Ling Tiancheng: "Then what else do I want you to do?" I don't have to go to court anymore, I can do everything in the world alone. ”

Another crow.

The sensitive ministers have noticed that the emperor's temper is not very good today, so it is better not to say anything, do nothing, and be patient and wait until the dynasty is dispersed.

But Ling Tiancheng didn't want them to go back so early, he stood at the top of the Golden Palace, high up, stamping back and forth.

Patrolling back and forth the ministers below, shouting their names one by one and asking them who was more suitable.

Many people don't dare to mention Ye Yuanpei's name anymore, but there are still some people who still insist on this topic.

In the end, Ling Tiancheng set his sights on Luo Ke.

"Luo Aiqing, you brought up the matter of southern Xinjiang, so let's talk about your opinion."

Luo Ke had been silent for a long time, and at this moment Ling Tiancheng had a little bit of his name, and others suddenly realized that he was the initiator of this problem, so those who had been scolded by Ling Tiancheng stretched their necks one by one, waiting to see his good show.

Luo Ke was not in a hurry, stood forward a little, bent down and saluted Ling Tiancheng and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that An Junhou's subordinates can have many generals, and he himself is also stationed in southern Xinjiang, so he can ask An Junhou to recommend two good generals to guard Nanban and water bandits." ”

"Okay." Ling Tiancheng immediately took the case and praised Luo Ke endlessly: "Luo Aiqing can still share my worries, and everything is done so decently."

This matter will also be handed over to you to do, immediately repair the book An Junhou, tell him what you just meant, and after the letter is written, bring it to me to seal Zhu Approve. ”

The matter that had been arguing all morning began with Luo Ke and ended with him.

When he went down, many people began to lean in front of him, and his stammering face was obvious.

It's just that Luo Ke, who got off the court, didn't say a word superfluously, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion to deal with some things, and then took his own sedan chair back to the house.

Zhuang Changyuan looked at his back as he walked away, and his eyes slowly became gloomy.

No one knew that Luo Ke was brought up by him, but Luo Ke knew it, and Zhuang Changyuan himself knew better.

If this person is not very useful, then even if he has a big official rank, he still has to be pulled out.

Zhuang Changyuan likes people who can control it, rather than people who make their own decisions every time.

In the last few things, although Luo Ke has done a good job and seems to be beneficial to him on the surface, he always acts privately and does not consult with him.

Especially the matter of giving Zhuang Siyan tokens privately, in fact, Zhuang Changyuan was very angry, and he even felt that Luo Ke had different intentions.

Nanban's incident only confirmed his thoughts more confirmingly.

The last thing he Zhuang Changyuan is afraid to do in his life is to kill people, no matter who wants to stand in his way and want his life, he has to pass the knife in his hand first.

Even Ling Tiancheng couldn't do anything about him, let alone a Luo Ke?

The knife in Zhuang Changyuan's hand is invisible, he is in charge of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court, as well as some control of the imperial city, and he also controls the life and death of many ministers.

These things have not been interrupted even since Ling Tiancheng cut his power and sent him back to his hometown.

At this time, he has already returned to the court, so he is not afraid that Luo Ke will oppose him.

After Ling Tiancheng got out of the court, he went to the Chenxi Hall as usual, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhuang Siyan waiting for him there.

"Yan'er, why are you here, it's windy here, go inside."

As Ling Tiancheng spoke, he had already taken Zhuang Siyan into his arms, and brought her into the Chenxi Palace like a gentle kitten.

Zhuang Siyan was indeed obedient at this time, wrapped his frozen stiff hand around his waist, put his face on him, and muttered: "You also came back from outside, why is your body so hot?" ”

When Ling Tiancheng heard this, he laughed, and unconsciously put his hand on the top of her head and touched it: "Because I'm a man!" ”

"Men? Aren't men afraid of the cold? Zhuang Siyan asked again, and raised his head to look at Ling Tiancheng's face.

That serious, delicate appearance immediately made Ling Tiancheng's heart warm and soft.

He only hugged the little person in his arms tighter, and when he entered the Chenxi Palace, he was not busy doing things, but even held her hand and put it in the palm of his hand to warm it.

Zhuang Siyan's body quickly became hot, she rubbed against Ling Tiancheng's chest, and asked again persistently: "You haven't answered my previous question yet, why is the man's body so hot?" ”

Ling Tiancheng was helpless, so he put his lips to her ear and whispered, "Because there is a fire ...... in a man." ”
