Chapter Seventy-Five: The Palace of Hundred Flowers
"The old general has already said the first two sentences, so I'll take it down!" Luo Ning stood up and drank a glass of wine.
"Good!" All the civil officials stood there with a smile and waited to see Luo Ning's joke.
"The first two sentences of the old general are: 'Kindergarten has not learned words, and the Taiping banquet is free of inscription poems.'" I received the 'Jiangnan Military Merit Award, I know the scenery of the north. Cut the hair and tie the reins to lead the war horse, cut the robe and draw the line to mend the flag. The anti-army 100,000 is approaching recently, which poem is it sir? Luo Ning had tears in her eyes and looked at the ministers with wide eyes.
The ministers are silent, the civil officials are silent, and the military generals are concerned. Yes, it is said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but who knows the general's heart? Seeing the soldiers who are already familiar with them constantly dying, and sometimes even exchanging the lives of a small number of people for the lives of the majority, and watching the brothers who are closer than their own brothers die one by one, is this kind of pain that literati and artists can bear?
"The anti-army 100,000 is approaching recently, may I ask which poem is sir?" Yes, isn't it the general and the soldiers who are still in the mood of chewing words on the bloody battlefield with your group of literati and ink writers?
Everyone stopped talking, just quietly contemplating the poem.
"Okay, I have said it in my heart, come, let us toast together for the warriors who will never return home after the bloody battle, so that their souls in heaven can rest in peace." The emperor immediately stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and slowly poured it to the ground.
Luo Ning didn't say a word, just drank the wine in the cup.
"Your Majesty, Xiaomin wants to resign and return to his hometown." Luo Ning suddenly walked in front of the emperor, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said slowly.
"What did you say?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Luo Ning to talk about this question at this time, he originally planned to receive Luo Ning into the harem.
"I said that Xiaomin wants to resign and return to his hometown." Luo Ning was excited. This world is really prosperous, and the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer! Luo Ning originally thought that this emperor might be able to have something special, so that this country might be able to have a chance to prosper, but now it seems that this country has been rotten from the roots, and the decadent dynasty will inevitably be replaced by a new dynasty.
"Why did General Luo have such thoughts?" The emperor was shocked, he didn't want to let Luo Ning go so easily.
"Because the minister is a daughter." Luo Ning continued to say in an astonishing voice.
"You, what did you say?" The emperor trembled, he didn't expect Luo Ning to say such a thing at this time.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Prime Minister Luo also stumbled and said.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Luo Ning stretched out her hand to open her hair, and her soft hair fell down her waist, the appearance of her daughter's family was a little clear and jade, but more of it was a little cold, that kind of coldness even had the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away. "I'm Luo Ning! It's not Luo Yuan! Luo Ning continued to say lightly.
"Your Majesty, this Luo Ning actually disguised herself as a man and mixed into the barracks to disrupt the court, and the crime deserves death, please ask the emperor to strictly investigate the instigators behind this woman and punish them together." Immediately there were princelings who came to play.
"Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, this Luo Ning is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Luo, and it stands to reason that the eldest daughter should have entered the palace, but what is the reason for appearing here? He also asked the emperor to ask Prime Minister Luo Cheng. "Someone else went to play.
"Long live Qiyu, this woman deceives the king, and the prime minister has no king."
"The Emperor's ......."
"The Emperor's ......"
"Enlightenment ......"
One crime after another kept buckling Luo Ning's head, and Luo Ning still knelt on one knee there as if he hadn't heard it.
"The emperor forgives his sins!" Prime Minister Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Ning, if it weren't for this little slut, how could he be limited to his current passive position today.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Luo Cheng is dedicated to the world of the country!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Luo Cheng ......" and then knelt down and a group of people kept interceding for Prime Minister Luo.
"If the emperor wants to punish him, punish this unfilial girl!" Suddenly, someone brought up the topic, so all the disagreements fell on Luo Ning one after another.
"Your Majesty, what if Luo Ning is a woman? She only took 3,500 men and horses this time, and went deep behind the enemy alone, which was the glory of this battle, the emperor, even women are the pillars of the country, the emperor, please think twice! General Lin was first stunned by Luo Ning's daughter, and then heard a lot of discussion in the court about asking Luo Ning for the crime, so he hurriedly walked out and knelt on the ground to protect his capital.
"Your Majesty, Luo Ning's matter has nothing to do with Prime Minister Luo, the Prime Minister has long since severed the father-daughter relationship because I refused to enter the palace and expelled me from the Prime Minister's Mansion, if the emperor wants to blame, please blame me alone, it is me who inexplicably substitutes for Luo Yuan's name, all the way to the west." Luo Ning still knelt under His Royal Highness and said lightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The crowd kept talking.
"That's enough, Luo Ning disguised herself as a man to deceive the saint, and she deserved to die, but for the sake of leading the soldiers all the way to the west, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, I decided to cut off her status as a general and demote her to a civilian, and accept her as a palace maid in the harem." The emperor clapped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty." Luo Heng's face relaxed, and he hurriedly thanked him.
"Your Majesty, how can such a woman be stored in the harem!" The princelings looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor meant.
"I have made up my mind, do you dare to question my decision?" The emperor's face was very ugly.
"Your Majesty, you can't! Luo Ning disguised herself as a man to join the army for her younger brother, and she also loved her younger brother, long live such a woman who values love and righteousness, not only did not praise it, but degraded it in the harem, how can you bet on everyone's mouth? Seeing Luo Ning's face change, General Lin hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Your Majesty, Luo Jianjun has taken us thousands of miles as a daughter, taking the lead in everything, even a man may not be able to do such a thing, please think twice." Fan Gao hurriedly stepped forward to ask for advice.
"Your Majesty, how can such a strange woman be convincing the world if she is punished if she is not rewarded!" Immediately, the generals led by General Lin Lao knelt on the ground and pleaded for Luo Ning.
"Enough, what do you want to do?" The emperor was furious. "General Lin, do you think I won't dare to punish you?" The emperor's face was very ugly, he never thought that the people in the military would collectively stand up and plead for Luo Ning.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is old, and the country is now peaceful and prosperous, and there is no need for old ministers, but Luo Ning is still young, our country needs such a white jade pillar and a purple gold beam in the sea!" Old General Lin was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his old eyes.
"Enough!" The emperor slammed the table. "Come on, bring Luo Ning into the harem for me!" The emperor didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves and left.
Luo Ning was speechless for a long time, just looked at King Xian who was still drinking on the side with his eyes, but King Xian didn't seem to hear it, and he was still eating and drinking.
Luo Ning stood up and still looked at King Xian with a faint gaze, but King Xian didn't seem to see Luo Ning's gaze.
"Alas!" Luo Ning sighed slightly.
"Thank you, old general!" Luo Ning smiled faintly, stretched out her hand and helped the old man beside her first.
"Miss Luo, I've wronged you!" The old general was in tears, but he didn't know what to say.
"Take care, old general, there will be a period later!" Luo Ning gave the old general a respectful salute seriously, and nodded at Fan Gao secretly.
"Miss Luo, please come with us!" The chief chamberlain stood beside Luo Ning and said.
Luo Ning nodded slightly, and then followed the chief attendant to slowly walk outside the hall.
Luo Ning's heart has never been so calm, she knows that the emperor is playing tricks, but doesn't the emperor know? In the face of absolute strength, all tricks are just paper tigers.
"Miss Luo, this is the Hundred Flowers Palace, Miss Luo, please come in!" The chief chamberlain said respectfully.
Luo Ning stepped inside.
"Slave maid see Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" As soon as Luo Ning walked into the Hundred Flowers Palace, he saw more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground one after another, and even asked for peace.
Luo Ning was still silent, just looked at all this coldly.
"Niangniang, please go with the minions to the Hundred Flowers Palace to rest!" After the greetings, I saw a palace maid about twenty years old come to Luo Ning, first respectfully and then said.
Luo Ning looked at this Baihua Palace lightly, this Baihua Palace is really worthy of the name of a hundred flowers, everywhere is full of wonders, flowers are fragrant, there are four undefeated flowers in the yard, there are evergreen trees through the ages, flowers and trees are scattered, there is a faint palace between the rockery and the flowers, this house is completely built with bamboo from the outside, it is wrapped with blooming wisteria, there is a faint swing among the flowers and trees, the construction of the entire Baihua Palace can only be described by beauty and nature.
Luo Ning smiled all of a sudden, but he sneered even more in his heart, this emperor is really unscrupulous, knowing that he is a doctor and doesn't like other messy things, he actually wants to impress himself with such a beautiful scenery. Although it is beautiful here, it lacks one of the most important things, that is, aura, although all the flowers bloom beautifully and fragrantly, but they lack the unique aura that nature has endowed.
"Mother, please come in!" Seeing Luo Ning smiling, the little palace maid immediately took another step forward with a smiling face.
Luo Ning turned her head to the little palace maid's face and looked at the little palace maid lightly, but there was no trace of friendship in her eyes, as if she had seen the little palace maid through.
"Mother, please move!" The little palace maid said again, because of the continuous fighting, the waist on the right side of the little palace maid was already a little painful, while the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs were still lying on the ground, because Luo Ning did not walk over and no one dared to get up.
