Chapter 725: Who is an outsider
The ministers were silent, for they really wanted a monarch who was both capable and controllable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is also as Cheng Jianhui thought, the condition is that he agreed instead of what they promised, and in the future, when they encounter disagreements with Dongfang Xu, Dongfang Xu also has a reason to shirk it.
While the main hall was still shrouded in a gloomy mist, the Jinyun Palace was peaceful.
Concubine Jin, who has not asked about the world for many years, there are not many people around her, and after the palace maid brought tea and some pastries, there were only four people left in Jinyun Palace, including Concubine Jin, Dongfang Xu, Wu Yuting and Yutong.
After the remaining four people, Concubine Jin asked Dongfang Xu: "There are no outsiders here, now you can tell me, what do you think?"
Concubine Jin's seriousness, Dongfang Xu also had a somewhat serious expression: "The question now is not what I think, but what do you adults think?" No king wants to be a puppet king. ”
Concubine Jin smiled bitterly with some resentment: "You know that this is not what I asked."
"If there is a day when it comes to political affairs, I don't mind you speaking your mind. But in my private affairs, I don't want them to interfere. But judging from the current situation, I don't think they even need a chance to interfere, just do everything as they want. And when it comes to big decisions, I want to be able to handle them with ease. What is the point of such a thankless 'human master' who has no freedom in life? I might as well live my little life happily! When Dongfang Xu said the last sentence, he stared at Wu Yuting affectionately.
Feeling Dongfang Xu's affectionate gaze, Wu Yuting deliberately picked up the teacup in front of her to block it.
Dongfang Xu's eyes when he looked at Wu Yuting were not unfamiliar to Concubine Jin, but she was not the party concerned.
Concubine Jin couldn't help but say, "It's worthy of being father and son!"
Concubine Jin's tone revealed a deep disappointment. However, Dongfang Xu knew that it was not him who disappointed Concubine Jin, let alone Wu Yuting. Dongfang Xu could see that Concubine Jin's liking for Wu Yuting was real, and there was no hypocrisy. It's not him, it's naturally Dongfang Rui and Zhu Yanlian.
Dongfang Xu didn't answer Concubine Jin's words, and after half a ring, Concubine Jin said again: "If they agree to your request, do you still want to go to Dragon City?"
Dongfang Xu said: "Of course, I wasn't joking in the main hall just now."
Concubine Jin was not as calm as Dongfang Xu, and said with some concern: "Then during your absence, who will bear Changyi City?"
Dongfang Xu said: "As long as they miss Changyi City, they will naturally take care of everything!"
Dongfang Xu's explanation did not put Concubine Jin at ease, but became even more worried: "Aren't you afraid that they will really rebel?"
Dongfang Xu smiled indifferently and said: "To be honest, I have no intention of sitting in that position, if they really have that ability, from now on they will not let me step into Changyi City for half a step, I am willing!"
Concubine Jin looked at Dongfang Xu's indifferent face and was no longer entangled: "That's it, your surname Dongfang doesn't care about that position, what do I have to worry about as an outsider!"
Dongfang Xu didn't agree with Concubine Jin's words, and said a little depressed: "Even if you don't have a heart with your father, you are also an important one of your father's wives and concubines, plus your relationship with your mother and aunt, how can you be considered an outsider with me?"
Hearing Dongfang Xu mention Forsythia and Old Madam Xiao, Concubine Jin was relieved: "Yes, even if it has nothing to do with other people in the palace, the fate of you and me is already doomed!" Then he was a little worried: "I just don't know if she will take me in this time when she goes to Yuncheng, will Anping take me in?"
"My aunt can recognize me, a nephew I have never met, how can she abandon you, an old man?" Dongfang Xu's words sounded like he was comforting Concubine Jin, but his tone was full of affirmation. Although he had only met Mrs. Xiao twice, he just felt that Mrs. Xiao was a person of affection.
When Concubine Jin didn't know what she was thinking, Dongfang Xu asked, "How many questions do I have that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Concubine Jin said: "You want to ask about the matter between me and An Ping?"
Dongfang Xu smiled and nodded.
"Actually, Anping and I hit it off at first sight." Speaking of the past with Old Madam Xiao, Concubine Jin immediately fell into memories: "My father is just a five-grade appeaser, but he is just qualified enough to bring his family to participate in some festive festivals in the palace. Anping and I met at a palace banquet, and I didn't want to show anything at that banquet, but it happened that the musician who played the pipa for Anping's dance music was temporarily uncomfortable. And I happened to have learned pipa, and I had admired Anping's talent for a long time, so I volunteered to help. It was also because of this fate that we became friends, but I didn't expect to hear the unfortunate news of her soon after we met. ”
Although Concubine Jin only talked about the process of her acquaintance with Old Madam Xiao, Wu Yuting still guessed something: "You got married to the emperor because of Princess Anping?"
Wu Yuting originally wanted to say that she followed the emperor, but later felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, so she changed her words.
"I always knew you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought."
Concubine Jin's words indirectly admitted what Wu Yuting said, some things are good to know the result, and the process is not important, so Concubine Jin didn't want to say it, so Dongfang Xu and Wu Yuting didn't ask.
After a moment of silence, Wu Yuting brought the topic back to what Concubine Jin said just now: "Speaking of smartness, Queen Zhang of Dragon City is the smartest woman I have ever seen."
Although Concubine Jin didn't know how many times she had heard Empress Zhang, she was sure that this was not the first time: "Empress Zhang?"
Seeing Concubine Jin's contemplative appearance, Dongfang Xu said: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Concubine Jin will know when she sees Queen Zhang."
Concubine Jin then remembered that she might go to Dragon City with Dongfang Xu and them tomorrow, and the expectation in her heart was more obvious than when she was in the main hall.
When Concubine Jin was full of anticipation, the ministers in the main hall finally reached a consensus.
"Ladies and gentlemen, once I get out of here, you will have no room to turn back!" Cheng Jianhui once again asked the adults for verification.
Many ministers had helplessness on their faces, but none of them spoke out against it.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Jianhui saw that no one spoke up before he said, "Then I'll go find the Nine Princes now!"
After Cheng Jianhui walked out of the main hall, Du Zhijin was a little unwilling to say: "Did we really compromise like this?" If the emperor wakes up, how will we face the emperor? ”
Du Zhijin's thoughts can be seen by many ministers, but they don't say it, after all, they also have such thoughts.
Looking at many reluctant faces, Lord Chen said, "If any of you have the ability, the Nine Princes don't mind who the person in that position is, and what qualifications do others have?"
After speaking, Lord Chen didn't look at those uncomfortable faces anymore, and walked out of the main hall, but only out of the main hall.
Not long after Lord Chen walked out of the main hall, several ministers also followed out of this dull place, but they also only found a quiet place with sunlight to stand. (To be continued.) )
