Including Wang Jin also looked incredulous, and then was pulled forward by Wang Hongqiang to thank the emperor.

A cool breeze blew through the hall, cooling the originally lively atmosphere, and the air was filled with a tense and strange atmosphere, and the emperor's decision made all the ministers present confused

"Your Majesty!

"Princess Qingyu is the princess of the country, the pearl of my Great Wu, and the majestic princes of the vassal kingdom can protect the peace of my Great Wu for a hundred years, is it not a wise choice for Your Majesty to make such a hasty decision!"

Other officials also chimed in, as if the emperor's words were not a holy decree to them at all, and anyone could make irresponsible remarks about the emperor.

The emperor slammed the table, the bowls and pans on the table were shaken, and the wine and vegetable juice were spilled on the ground. The face that was not angry and arrogant was really as terrifying as a devouring tiger when he became angry.

"Why is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks about what I have decided?" the emperor stood up and said viciously

The ministers who were chirping below like a hundred birds in the forest immediately fell to the ground again, not daring to speak. The hall fell silent for a moment.

The emperor looked around and said slowly, "Over the years, I have been working hard to make the country prosperous and solicit good advice. Give you courtiers a chance to show what you can do. It's up to you to give you advice, no matter how big or small. ”

The emperor's tone was gentle, which made the people below relax a little. However, the emperor changed his words again, and his tone immediately became serious. "But the performance of the ministers really discouraged me, are you really the emperor?"

The courtiers in the audience were speechless when they heard this.

"How much of my words are worth in the ears of your ministers? How much of the money that has been allocated has actually been allocated? When have you mentioned that the border aliens have frequently offended the generals and resisted desperately? When have you ever cared about the chaos outside?"

The emperor's four questions made the courtiers present suddenly break out in a cold sweat. Before, the emperor was like a sick tiger in their eyes, and this group of unscrupulous plucked the feathers on this tiger, and they increasingly did not put the emperor in their eyes, the court was filled with extravagance, and the courtiers were like bloodsuckers hanging on the court, all of them were oily and rich. Even a small sesame official dares to collect money everywhere under the banner of the emperor. Gradually, they all forgot about the emperor's tiger.

It was only today that the courtiers discovered that this tiger was majestic and had a devouring momentum. The minister with a little light reacted immediately, and hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor, and the other courtiers also hurriedly ran over and knelt down

"The ministers deserve death!" a group of ministers shouted together, knocking their heads.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Father and the emperor handed over these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to me, but can't it be squandered in my hands, all the ministers can improve it if they know their mistakes, and then please do your best to sit firmly in the world of this Great Wu with me!" The emperor's passionate tone is indeed easy to substitute people in.

"The ministers swear allegiance to the emperor to the death!

The emperor was very happy, and immediately picked up the wine, "Dry!"

The courtiers also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and shouted, "Dry!" and then drank it all with the emperor.

After drinking, the emperor threw the wine glass on the ground and laughed, the depression accumulated in his stomach for decades was vented at once, looking at the trembling expressions of the courtiers below, the emperor felt unprecedented refreshment.

But at the same time, the emperor also knew that now that the extravagance of the imperial court is prevalent, and various forces are intertwined and complex, it will take a long time to completely eradicate it, and it is very dangerous. But at least now that it has made a good start, one day, the emperor believes that he can see a clean and powerful Wu Dynasty. Live up to the legacy of the emperor

Everyone also accepted the fact that the emperor had promised Wu Qingyang to marry Wang Jin, and came to congratulate Wang Hong and Wang Jin, including the envoys and princes of various vassal states who also congratulated the father and son with gloomy faces.

The banquet was created by some people, and the lively atmosphere was restored, only Wang Jin sat in the corner cautiously trembling, and he was afraid to talk to this group of old foxes, looking at this group of old people talking and laughing on the surface, the gloom hidden under the kind smile made Wang Jin feel a chill down his back, maybe this is a hidden knife in the smile, watching Wang Hong deal with four or five people calmly Wang Jin is very admired.

Suddenly, Wang Jin felt that someone slapped him behind him, Wang Jin turned his head, and Wu Qingyang's playful smile crashed into Wang Jin's eyes. Wang Jin lost his mind for a while.

"Follow me" said Wu Qingyang took Wang Jin's hand and walked through the crowd to the outside of the hall

"It's great that you can come back safely" Wu Qingyang said with a smile, the sun was shining on Wu Qingyang's face, Wang Jin felt that this smile was so dazzling and moving. It's as if everything in the world is no longer important.

Wang Jin stabilized his mind, "Yes, I'm back, I'm sorry, I was bad before, and I made you unhappy." Wang Jin's words became stammering.

"You~Aren't you~ in love with me?" Wu Qingyang said with a wicked smile, and slowly leaned over to Wang Jin, the girl's gentle body fragrance seduced Wang Jin's nose and stimulated his nerves

Wang Jin was already confused, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his breathing became short, and Wang Jin began to dare not look directly into Wu Qingyang's eyes.

The banquet was over, and the people began to leave one after another, and the huge palace suddenly seemed empty.

"It seems that your son and my daughter are really in love" The emperor was now outside the palace, looking at Wang Jin and Wu Qingyang in the distance, and the emperor showed the relief of an old father

"It's a great honor for the princess to take a fancy to my dog," Wang Hong said respectfully as he followed the emperor

"It's still early, can Aiqing accompany me if it's okay?" the emperor turned his head and looked at Wang Hong and said

"It's a great honor"

The majestic Antai Palace, although the other palaces are also gorgeous, but compared with the main hall, it seems unremarkable, climb the second floor of the Antai Palace, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace, and even see the prosperous capital outside the palace. This grand landscape makes people feel a sense of pride bursting from their hearts

"I often stand here, looking at this so-called peaceful and prosperous era" The emperor looked at the scene in front of him, and there was no arrogance anymore, only vicissitudes and indescribable helplessness.

"What a peaceful and prosperous world! This Wu Dynasty is already terminally ill!" the emperor cried out by tapping on the railing

Wang Hong stood aside respectfully, but did not dare to speak

"Look at the south! Those arrogant and greedy Japanese tribes have even tried their best to attack the territory of my Great Wu, and the barbarians in the north are constantly invading the north of my Great Wu. The scourge of the country's eyes is intensifying. From the anxious look of the emperor, it can be seen that this is really a good emperor who worries about the country and the people

"Fortunately, the Wu Dynasty can have a virtuous emperor like Your Majesty, and the emperor will definitely be able to lead the Wu Dynasty to regain its majesty!" Wang Hong said

The emperor smiled, "How easy is this, although there is enthusiasm, the road ahead is treacherous." It's not that easy to walk either."

"No matter what kind of wind and rain there is, the old minister will always stand by His Majesty's side, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" Wang Hong knelt down on one knee and said in a firm tone

"Lao Hong, although you are not in the court now, but this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but there are only you, and the two of them are people I can really trust."
