In the hall of peace and harmony, Xi Ning stood with his hands on the phoenix platform facing the sky. On the golden phoenix robe is a colorful embroidered phoenix, which is extremely gorgeous. The middle of the court began to kneel three times and bow nine times from the upper hall of Xi Ning.

This is the first time in several months to go to court, Xi Ning is very concerned, using rouge gouache to lightly modify the complexion, and deliberately used an eyebrow pencil to make the lower eyeliner. At this time, she stood in front of the phoenix platform, and the majestic aura exuded from the inside out suppressed everyone in the audience and did not dare to raise their heads.

"I heard that some courtiers jointly asked me not to use the son of a rebel minister as a concubine, but is there such a thing?" Xi Ning was annoyed here, such a piece of music fell into Ethan's hands, and he pressed it down without telling her, which made her feel sorry in her heart, and she had to let him clean up the mess for herself because of Ethan's love.

The courtiers in the audience knelt silently, no one raised their heads, and no one spoke.

"Tell me about it, is there really such a thing?" Xi Ning's voice was loud, she deliberately used internal force to happen, and the courtiers born in the audience were already distracted, and they couldn't stand her impact sound with internal force at all. However, Wu Chen was fine.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Indeed! Yu Wenzhi, the secretary of the ministry, knelt on the spot, looked up at Xi Ning and said: "Your Majesty was against the first person at that time, he was a courtier, and he had the responsibility of being a minister. ”

"Hmph~ What does my harem have to do with you?" Xi Ning's sharp words hit the will of everyone in the hall.

"There is a great Confucian saying in ancient times: the king is the daughter of the phoenix, delicate and unparalleled, and entering the WTO is the blessing of the people and bless the world. His Majesty has been the king so far, although it is indispensable to quell the chaos, however. The people of Li are still miserable, the drought in the northwest is three years old, and the flooding in the south of the forest has not disappeared. The treasury is empty, and the emperor has raised funds from all over the country, can Your Majesty know? You are the daughter of the phoenix, have you ever prayed for the blessings of the people of the world? Yu Wenzhi's momentum did not show weakness, his eyes looked directly at Xi Ning's heart, and continued: "You brought the son of a rebellious minister into the palace, if he suddenly has a rebellious heart, how can Your Majesty protect himself from being harmed?" If he has a heart for the cholera harem. The affairs of the previous dynasty are not stable, and the affairs of the harem are unstable. Your Majesty knows how to choose? ”

Yu Wenzhi!! Can you die? Xi Ning was speechless when she was questioned, and she suddenly felt that she was the faint monarch in history.

"The minister is not afraid of life and death, and he is determined to seek the welfare of the people of Limin, which is the grand wish of the minister." Yu Wenzhi's resolute eyes made Xi Ning take half a step back. She remembered the scene when she met Yu Wenzhi talking about equality between men and women in Huaxi City that day.

"Your Majesty, although Yu Shangshu's words are excessive, they are not unreasonable." Prime Minister Wu Cheng opened his mouth and said: "The affairs of the world are not stable, Xiliang has recruited troops and horses for many years, and Han Liang has newly supported the Khan Qi, who is brave and good at fighting, with infinite strength, and ruthless and ferocious, in just one year. The Xiliang will be managed in an orderly manner. In Tianfeng, disasters have been suffered year after year, and the people are not at peace. The remnants of the Youth Competition are spoiled, and a large number of refugees are flowing. The treasury is empty, and if the war resumes and there is a shortage of food and grass, how can the sergeants march long distances? If the harem is unstable at this time, it will be a house leak that happens to rain overnight. Late treatment. ”

Xi Ning turned around and sat back on the phoenix chair, she didn't know what to say. It turned out that the situation was so serious, and he was only busy in the harem to have fun.

"I will consider this matter carefully. How are natural disasters handled? ”

"The emperor has raised some relief materials and sent them to the disaster area." Murong Qing, the head of the household department, said: "But this is far from enough, the disaster relief materials collected by the household department from all over the country are being loaded and will be sent to the disaster area in the near future." ”

"How does the household department do things? Why didn't the emptiness of the treasury be dealt with earlier? Xi Ning asked.

"Your Majesty, the disaster has been three years in a row, and the people have not harvested any grains, and part of it was used when renovating the palaces of the harem, and part of it was used by the Ministry of Industry to build embankments a few years ago. His Majesty granted amnesty to the world twice during his four years in power......"

"That's it! Retreat! Xi Ning got up abruptly and walked out, she couldn't listen anymore. This is clearly saying that you are a faint gentleman who has been ruined.

Xiaocui shouted "retreat", everyone in the hall looked at each other a few times, slowly got up, stood in place for a while inexplicably, and left.

"Prime Minister, is today's incident more serious?" Yu Wenzhi and Murong Qing walked towards Wu Xiaoai quietly and asked.

"No problem. There is nothing wrong with what you and I say. Sooner or later, this problem will have to be faced. ”

"Now Your Majesty has lost the demeanor that His Royal Highness King Ning should have back then, and it seems that he is too childlike, which is different from King Ning who galloped on the battlefield back then." Yu Wenzhi is upright and does not shy away from others.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears. Let's go back! ”

Prime Minister Wu actually approved of Yu Wenzhi's words, but as a courtier, he still had to be cautious about his words.

Xi Ning locked himself in the imperial study and saw no one. She took a closer look at the notes given to her by Ethan: 1. Funding for the Northwest Drought; 2. Linnan flood relief materials; third, the nuisance of border herders in the Xiliang Kingdom; Fourth, the remnants of the Youth Competition haunted and disturbed the people in Yuncheng; 5. Details of the funds for the construction of dams by the Ministry of Industry; Sixth, the plague in Min County; Seventh, Ling Zong suddenly disappeared, and his business network was monopolized by a mysterious person; Eighth, the matter of the phoenix girl; 9. His Majesty's concubine.

In the morning, Xi Ning saw that the last one was full of anger, and thought: What does it matter to you that I take a concubine? Now that it looks closely, Ethan deliberately put this matter in the last item, and it is really more urgent than this in several other items, but Xi Ning reversed the order and put this in the first article, and broke up unhappily.

She brought a few of the books on the table that had been released separately to the front, opened one and read it carefully.

“…… Set up 'Ninghe' as the national name, and the minister knows that His Majesty's ambition lies in the people, which is the blessing of the people and the blessing of Tianfeng. His Majesty has been in power for four or five years, sitting in the court for more than a few months, handing over the responsibility of governing the country to the concubines in the palace, breaking the ban that men are not allowed to interfere in politics, and throwing political affairs to the concubines, so there is a saying among the people: the queen does not sit in the palace, and men dominate the sky; The empress is in the people, and the people are complaining. Tianfeng's Qianqiu foundation has a long history, and it can also protect itself in troubled times, however, now there are Hu people on the border to make trouble, and there are disasters in the country, which is caused by a long time of sacrifice? ……”

"Smack~" Xi Ning slammed the fold on the table, and there were only two words in his mind, "faint gentleman".

Yongshou Palace.

Wei Long walked into the main hall, and Ethan was checking the ledger in the side hall.

"Master, something happened! His Majesty shut himself up in the imperial study for a day and never came out. Wei Long said solemnly.

"Have you inquired why?" Ethan asked, closing the ledger.

"I heard that Yu Shangshu questioned His Majesty in words, the main reason is because of the matter of accepting concubines, His Majesty seems to be scolding the ministers for asking about the affairs of the harem, Yu Shangshu defended and dissuaded him, Prime Minister Wu Cheng and Murong Shangshu both turned to Yu Shangshu at the same time, and His Majesty left in anger." Wei Long didn't know how, but Beon described the general situation.

Ethan stared straight ahead, fingers tapping on the table.

"Is there any movement over there?"

"My subordinates haven't heard of it." Wei Long shook his head and said.

"You go and stare over there to see if Prime Minister Wu has met with Jun Guifu?" Ethan Masashi said that he felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Wei Long nodded yes, took three steps back and turned to the outsider.

Still standing quietly at the gate of Yonghua Palace at this time, the main hall of Yonghua Palace was silent and silent, and Wei Long was observing in the dark. Towards evening, Jun walked out of the hall and walked out after still whispering something in his ear. Wei Long followed from afar, and after watching Xiao Jun enter the imperial study, he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Ning'er" Xiaojun came to the table and said to Xi Ning who was lying on the table, "Sometimes I hate you too." If you hadn't suddenly appeared in front of me and said that you want this world, I wouldn't have won this hot potato in that civil war. That's when I understood my heart, and as long as you need it, I'll fight for you. The mother emperor is good at calculation and suspicion, so I will play the role of a filial son, but I must have the perseverance to kill decisively, so as to attract her attention and begin to slowly teach the way of being a king. She said that the superior is forbidden to have seven emotions and six desires, and must not be close to a certain person, not to be entrusted to a certain person, and not to trust a certain person; We must make good use of virtuous ministers, and at the same time, we must also reuse those who have the heart of a villain. I didn't know what it meant, so I asked why? She said that heaven and earth have the power of yin and yang to reconcile, and we must not focus on one place or despise someone. ”

Xi Ning raised his head, looked at Xiao Jun with red eyes and said, "Xiao Jun, I'm not her, I don't want any world, I'm not that material." I'm a clown a lot, I can only act, in fact, I haven't been exposed to these since I was a child, I have a bad history, I am also a third-rate university student, I don't know anything. ”

Xiaojun stepped forward and hugged Xi Ning tightly, letting him lean on his body and cry.

"Ning'er, I know! But you're smart, you're smart, you can learn, you have to believe in yourself. ”

"Nope! Jun, I can't learn! I just want to find a corner with you and stay with you for the rest of my life. Xi Ning shook his head and cried.

"Good! Don't you still have us! There will be a way, okay if you don't cry? Xiaojun rubbed her hair distressedly and comforted softly.

"Xiaojun, if the person who met you at the beginning was me, I wouldn't let you fight for the world. If it weren't for the fact that you were here dressed as a man and a woman, I wouldn't have fought for the world. I am a little woman's heart, and I don't love the country. Xi Ning said in a hoarse voice.

"Why don't you wait for Ino to grow up, you give her the country, and let's find a corner of seclusion?" Xiao Jun smiled and cupped Xi Ning's face and said, "At that time, you have to take care of Xiao Jun a lot!" ”

"Good!" Xi Ning finally broke into tears and smiled: "I will take good care of my Xiaojun." ”

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Still standing outside the door with a food box, Xiaojun said loudly.

"Biography" Xiaojun smiled and said to Xi Ning: "It's okay not to eat, as soon as the baby in the belly protests, your little fox will cry." ”

"The little fox won't!" Xi Ning glared at Xiaojun and said with a smile, saying this, but she was thinking about Miao Ren's crying for the child's hunger, and she couldn't help laughing. (To be continued)
