Chapter 23: The Regent, He Plotted Misdeeds 23
What did he mean by his last words?
There was a hint of throbbing in Lou Wanhuan's dazedness, and she watched Yan Ruqing's figure disappear into the back window in a daze, stunned.
[Congratulations to the host, the favorability of the raider object is increased by ten, and the total favorability is seventy at present, and victory is at hand~]
001 circled in her mind with excitement.
Lou Duanhuan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at his palm, and was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: [001, what is the love between men and women? 】
001: [Doesn't the host know?] 】
He scratched his head blankly, [Didn't you say that the head was the Tao before? 】
Lou Wanhuan was suspiciously silent.
[Silly system, she's fooling you! ] 】
[Hahahahahaha, poor system, I thought I was bound to a veteran of the love field, but I didn't know that the other party was an innocent little white flower]
[Correct the front, it's the innocent overlord flower! ] 】
001 also came back from this silence, and he asked in disbelief: [Host, have you not had any emotional experience before?] 】
Lou Wanhuan asked rhetorically: [Do you see what I look like? 】
001:【……】
Lou Huanhuan: [......]
Silence doubles, doubting life.
However, there was not so much time for them to discuss this fatal issue at the moment, and there was a rush of neat footsteps in the courtroom, and Lou Duhuan gathered his emotions and walked out from behind the screen as if nothing had happened.
Du Ruo glanced at her, nodded, and opened the door to go out, "The Queen Mother is bathing, what's the matter?" ”
Lou Wanhuan grabbed his coat and put it on quickly, pricking up his ears to listen.
"Humble duty on the orders of His Majesty to protect the Queen Mother, the turmoil in southern Xinjiang, the ministers entered the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures, people come and go, Your Majesty is worried that there will be people with bad intentions mixed in, so I ordered the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army to strengthen the palace guards, just in case."
Lou Wanhuan narrowed his eyes, I don't know if Yan Ruqing went out?
Is the sudden strengthening of the defense unintentional or deliberate?
Her eyes sparkled slightly, she took a hairpin and curled her hair, and walked out.
"If the mourning family knows, they will do as His Majesty says."
Lou Wanhuan looked condescendingly at the people under the steps, they were wearing the clothes of the Royal Guards.
The little general led by Lou Wanhuan bowed his hand, "Empress Dowager Xie is considerate." ”
As soon as he raised his hand, the sword-wielding guards immediately dispersed, surrounding the entire dormitory.
Lou Duhuan glanced at him deeply and turned back.
Du Ruo followed behind and closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" The people of southern Xinjiang didn't enter the palace, as for getting so many people to look at you? ”
Lou Wanhuan pulled his lips and sat down at the table, "Look at me? He was just looking at me. ”
Du Ruo was puzzled: "Huh? ”
"Yan Ruqing is about to leave, I am the only one in this palace, since the little emperor wants to seize power, how can he let go of this opportunity and let me go?"
Du Ruo was stunned: "So he wants to-"
She wiped the knife on her neck.
Lou Duhuan shook his head: "He didn't dare, after all, there was the Fuguo Mansion behind me, the general of Dingbian, and the 100,000 troops of Northern Xinjiang, if he did something to me, he would be criticized by the people of the world, and at most he would put me under house arrest." ”
"It just so happened that my brother returned to the capital, I was under house arrest, and my brother was confined to the capital, so the army in Northern Xinjiang would not dare to act rashly, and the little emperor could concentrate on dealing with Yan Ruqing."
"This ......"
Du Ruo was taken aback, "Isn't the prince dangerous?" ”
Lou Duhuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Don't worry, who is the knife and who is the fish and meat, it is still unknown." ”
……
On this night, the imperial city was brightly lit, and the brocade guards of the Imperial Forest Army were waiting for them, and everyone who came and went had to go through a strict check.
Yan Ruqing had just left the palace with her front foot, and her back foot went directly around the main gate and swaggered in.
There was already a lot of noise in the imperial study, and the little emperor sat on the main throne with a gloomy eye.
"Your Majesty, the Lord Regent asks to see you." Lu Bai entered the door, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
The ministers looked at each other, and their expressions were a little subtle.
The little emperor narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Let him in." ”
The next moment, Yan Ruqing came quickly, and as soon as the tall figure came over, a shadow was cast, and the entire imperial study seemed to be darkened.
The little emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and the regent arched his hand and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”
The regent could not give a big salute when he saw the emperor, and the little emperor didn't think there was anything, but during this time, he looked at Yan Ruqing more and more unpleasantly.
"Uncle Huang is exempt."
The little emperor raised his hand weakly, "Presumably Uncle Huang has also received the news." ”
The other ministers immediately looked at Yan Ruqing with burning eyes.
Yan Ruqing straightened up and said calmly: "Yes, as the chief general of the border pass, if something happens in southern Xinjiang, of course he will send someone to inform the minister as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, I wonder what the Lord Regent plans to do? You're still wounded, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go to war, right? The Lord will not be there, who will take the top? ”
General Liu, who didn't please him last time, stood up again, like a dog that smelled the smell of meat.
Yan Ruqing glanced at him, although his face was still a little sickly white, but his expression was as proud as ever, and he Shi Shiran stood up with his hands in his hands and said, "You." ”
General Liu: "? ”
"How can I do that?" He retorted with a blow of his beard and glare.
Yan Ruqing raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you a general?" Will you lead troops to war? ”
General Liu: "Of course I will!" ”
"Then why don't you get on?"
"I ......"
General Liu was speechless when asked, and the ministers behind him coughed, and the prime minister came out and said in a strange manner: "The border war is imminent, and the regent still has the leisure to quarrel with the ministers, so it seems that he doesn't care much." ”
Yan Ruqing turned to look at him, "So, this king should find a rope to hang now?" ”
He sneered: "Don't forget, who asked this king to return to the capital, if this king is sitting on the frontier, how can it be the current situation?" ”
It was the first emperor who called him back, and who of them dared to say that the first emperor was not?
The study fell into an awkward silence.
The little emperor coughed lightly, broke the scene, and said softly: "Uncle Huang is injured, give him a seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Ruqing sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and the group of ministers began to quarrel over the selection of the main general, he listened without saying a word, but it didn't take long for the topic to turn to him again.
"According to the minister's opinion, the main general of the frontier still has to let the regent come, after all, he has rich experience and prestige, and it is most suitable for him to lead the troops."
Someone proposed, and some people immediately objected, "He has not cleared up the suspicion of collusion with southern Xinjiang now, how dare he trust the lives of 200,000 soldiers in the frontier and the people of the three cities to him?" If so, who can afford it? ”
"Then let him make a military order, he can't repel the southern Xinjiang, come and see him!"
As soon as these words came out, they fell silent again.
Yan Ruqing smiled suddenly, saying so much, is it just foreshadowing?
Sure enough, the next moment the ministers all looked at the little emperor, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”
