The First Empress - Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Linglong Dynasty
It was late autumn in the homeland, and the weather was solemn.

Linglong and Eunuch Lu did not dare to hesitate, Very quickly, they arrived at the Heart Nourishing Hall. Logically speaking, it was still early morning, so Linglong was even more doubtful. What exactly was going to summon her at this time? After crossing the painting bridges and flowing water, raindrops began to fall unhurriedly. The rain was wet and red, and she could not fly up.

Linglong didn’t know what to do. She only had a small bun loosely wrapped around her. She was dressed in light lead and light makeup. She didn’t dress up in heavy ink. When she reached the Heart Nurturing Hall, Eunuch Lu went in to report. Only then did Linglong walk into the inner hall.

“Today, I want you to go to the previous dynasty.” When Huiqi saw Linglong walk in, she only said this. Linglong was suspicious and said, “This concubine has no virtue or ability. She will probably be criticized by others in the previous dynasty. I wonder what is the matter?”

“It’s probably good for you and the Empress to go. Go back and change your clothes. I’ll go first.” After Hui Qi finished speaking, he had already gone to the front court with Eunuch Lu and the others. Linglong did not dare to hesitate and rushed into the Cloud Phoenix Hall. After combing and binding her hair again, Linglong appeared in the Golden Royal Hall with a refreshing expression. Because she did not know the reason for Hui Qi, Linglong was even more nervous inside. She did not know what to do and stood awkwardly waiting outside.

The Empress was also in the Eguan Bo Belt today. She sat beside Huiqi’s left hand. Long live the civil and military officials. A new day had begun.

“If you have something to do, play early. If you have nothing to do, roll up the curtains and retreat.” Eunuch Lu’s sharp figure floated in the Golden Royal Palace, but Linglong felt that Eunuch Lu’s voice was floating in her mind, binding her bit by bit. She felt that she could not even breathe.

These ministers stood on either side. On the left were civil servants, and on the right were military generals. The civil and military officials were neat and orderly. There was a kind of oppressive majesty and solemnity. Linglong could only wait anxiously outside because she had yet to receive an audience from the Emperor.

In fact, the civil and military officials did not have any major matters to attend to, After a few people played, they also retreated. Lan Zhenglin suddenly knelt on the ground with a “putong” sound. “This old official deserves to die. This old official thought that it was really inappropriate for the Emperor to let Bu Jieyu open a warehouse outside Jieyu Road to distribute official silver. This old official thought that the Emperor should not allow the harem concubines to act recklessly. The previous dynasties and harem were often affected by this.”

After he finished speaking, he continuously kowtowed on the ground. He looked at Hui Qi and began to argue, “This old subject is not for my own personal benefit, but to warn the emperor. This old subject is the three dynasties’ elders. I beg the emperor to punish the empress and Bu Jieyu heavily. These two people are really young chickens with evil intentions.”

After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at the majestic Empress and the self-confident Emperor. Huiqi’s face was still stiff. He knew that Lan Zhenglin would definitely explode at this time. In order to stabilize the officials’ opinions, he had Linglong dress up early in the morning so that he could deal with things easily.

Ji Zhuhua’s expression did not change at all. “Has Prime minister ever heard of revolutionizing the past, “If I want to reform and become my harem, I won’t bother you, Senior Three Dynasties. Besides, the harem is a woman’s world. How can a woman know that no one or two women are harboring evil intentions through her family’s influence? This palace has my intentions. Prime minister, don’t say anything else.”

Huiqi nodded and said, “What does Prime minister think is inappropriate? Is the harem system too harsh or is there another reason?”

Lan Zhenglin said without hesitation, “Your Majesty, think about it! What the imperial concubine of the harem has said is true. If you say that this old official’s black hat cannot be worn in the future, won’t Your Majesty listen to you?” This sentence was simply a threat. Huiqi’s expression was not good at all. His stiff fingers turned into palms and heavily hit the table beside him. “Impudent, you also said that you are an elder of the Loose Chao Empire. Your black hat is not something that concubines can take off, but it is up to me. I will let you take off your black hat and take it off.”

“But the Emperor has already begun to listen to his concubines. This old official thinks that the Emperor still wants to keep the concubines of the harem away from the previous dynasty. The Empress is not allowed to participate in politics.” As Lan Zhenglin spoke, he began to kowtow incessantly. He seemed to be in a terrible mood.

“Hougong Wufang, Your Majesty, the strong wind will soon spread to the previous dynasty at the end of Qingping. Your Majesty, think twice.” As Lan Zhenglin spoke, his eyebrows slightly trembled. If no one knew about Lan Zhenglin’s wrist, they would almost be moved by Lan Zhenglin’s actions.

“What is it?” Hui Qi said coldly. “Hougong Wufang?”

“The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. The so-called’don’t treat indecent things as indecent things, don’t say indecent things and don’t listen to them. ‘The harem and the previous dynasty are separate, aren’t they, Your Majesty?” Lan Zhenglin argued with all his might. It seemed that the situation was getting more and more intense today. If he did not join the Empress, he would not let it go. Huiqi smiled and said, “Prime minister, I forgive your innocence. You can just speak freely. Let the Manchu civil and military listen to what the harem is like.”

Originally, Huiqi couldn’t do anything to an advisor, He understood in his heart, Thus, he became even more bold, He continued, “The emperor actually opened one eye and closed the other, The concubines in the harem were either grounded for a few words, Or being punished for making rumors and slandering others by copying the Diamond Sutra or the Spirit Flying Sutra, “Your Majesty, that’s all. The concubines of the harem actually came to the previous dynasty. Since ancient times, women without talent have always been virtuous. The concubines of the harem should not be able to leave the main gate, but everyone has to flourish. They actually … actually went outside to distribute food and official silver. This is truly disrespectful!” After Lan Zhenglin finished his words, he looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. After looking at it for a while, Huiqi nodded his head indifferently.

Then he asked, “What does the Empress think?”

I thought Ji Zhuhua would be angry, However, the Empress’ heart was unfathomable. She actually nodded and said, “It sounds like Prime minister’s words are reasonable. This palace doesn’t have a single word. Let the person concerned speak a few words. Otherwise, this palace will be speechless. If the person concerned feels that this matter is really not done well, then this palace will naturally” change the situation. ”

“Bu Jieyu, come to the palace …”

Linglong waited for the summons with great difficulty before she walked in humbly and arrogantly. After she entered, she knelt down and bowed before standing below.

“Prime Minister Lan said that this palace shouldn’t let you go outside to distribute official silver and rice porridge. What do you think?” As the Empress spoke, she looked at Linglong. Linglong smiled and said, “This concubine thought that someone shouldn’t be harming others secretly. This concubine has been working hard for the past three days and has not done anything for her own selfish interests. The heavens can only learn from her.”

The Empress seemed to be a little puzzled. She frowned and said, “I heard that you were assassinated. Tell me about it.”

Linglong finished explaining the cause and effect. Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Lan Zhenglin. “Lord Zaifu didn’t expect that we would follow this person to a place that concubines wouldn’t dare to say. It’s good that Lord Zaifu understands.”

Lan Zhenglin’s arrogant and arrogant aura immediately disappeared. He said hesitantly, “After all, this old minister is old and weak. Naturally, I can’t guess.”

“Naturally, not guessing is extremely good. If I can guess, it would be unexpected for me and my concubines.” As Linglong spoke, she had already retreated.

At this moment, Huiqi said, “Since Mu Qianzhi is the one who witnessed it, then let Mu Qianzhi explain the details, okay?” Lan Zhenglin was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat that he nodded in panic.

Only then did he know that he had originally thought that he had arranged for bait to fish, but he didn’t expect that Huiqi had already prepared a good bow to shoot the fierce tiger.

Linglong glanced at Mu Qianzhi. There were thousands of words in that gaze. Linglong did not want to tear her face off with Lan Zhenglin so quickly. They did not have enough evidence. Because a person was already dead, there was no way to prove it. So, did they need to point it out? Just like herself, the joints inside naturally needed to be mastered well.

Mu Qianzhi looked at Hui Qi and Ji Zhuhua and said after saluting, “I have not left Jieyu for the past few days. First, I came to protect Jieyu’s safety. Second, I came to help Jieyu spread official silver. What does the Emperor think the outside world calls Jieyu?” What do you think? Empress Jieyu is virtuous outside. Everyone sees her and says that the spectators are clear. This lowly official dares to let the emperor and all the ministers and colleagues guess? ”

Only then did Linglong calm down slightly. At least Mu Qianzhi didn’t want to hit the nail on the head. It was best to proceed in a gradual and orderly manner. Huiqi pondered for a while and said, “Guess first.”

Some ministers had already begun to speculate. Some said that “good concubines” had said “good concubines”, but after saying that, Mu Qianzhi smiled. Linglong did not think so. After all, things had already been done, and merits and demerits were said to be beyond her control.

Huiqi suddenly said, “Could it be a living Bodhisattva?”

Only then did Mu Qianzhi smile and said, “After all, the Emperor is the True Dragon Son of Heaven. His words must be true. Naturally, he is a living Bodhisattva.” At this point, everyone was already sighing. Mu Qianzhi continued to talk, “The victims are now hanging upside down. Empress Jie Yu went outside the palace to distribute two books of silver. She has already risked the world’s condemnation, but there are still people in the inner court who impeach and criticize her easily. Isn’t that too interesting?” “If the people of the harem of impeachment were able to take out ten taels of silver from their official silver and salary, then it would be fine. However, everyone here is still worthless. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

After saying that, he cupped his hands and retreated.

Hui Qi smiled in admiration and said, “Does Lord Zaifu still insist on his opinion now?”

The Empress naturally wanted to take advantage of this victory and chase after him. She said, “Actually, this palace also has its own difficulties. However, Prime minister’s beloved daughter has not changed. This palace can only let Zhaoyuan copy the Diamond Sutra in the inner hall. Now that this palace sees his father’s love like a mountain, it is naturally very sympathetic. Since Prime minister feels that this is the right thing to do.”

Linglong looked at Lan Zhenglin’s face. Although she hadn’t said much just now, But that sentence hit the snake’s seven inches, Very quickly, Lan Zhenglin was speechless. It looked like Lan Zhenglin was having a hard time riding a tiger. There was a queen, a Mu Qianzhi, and even a Dragon Taboo Lieutenant and Commander Jiang when necessary. Everyone only talked about the merits and demerits of doing good deeds, so Lan Zhenglin was naturally not right.

This was what everyone meant by dying without illness.

“Your Highness, I sincerely kiss Your Highness and don’t let Lan Zhaoyuan grounded. Zhaoyuan has made several mistakes, but please forgive her this time.” Linglong pretended to plead for mercy, but her words were still so round that she could not tell that something was amiss. Even Lan Zhenglin felt puzzled. Just now, he was still confronting Lan Zhenglin head-on.

So quickly, he had already let out a breath of air from his nostrils?

Or was Linglong afraid that her hidden guards would kill him?

Before Lan Zhenglin could figure it out, the Empress of the Golden Royal Palace nodded her head and said, “Bu Jieyu is the most lenient person. Since you have pleaded for mercy, I won’t let Lan Zhaoyuan grounded. Prime minister, what do you think?”

Lan Zhenglin didn’t know what this meant and nodded repeatedly.

Ji Zhuhua smiled faintly and replied, “Since that’s the case, does Prime minister admit that this palace’s actions are appropriate?”

Lan Zhenglin continued to nod his head. Seeing Linglong here, he couldn’t help but laugh. How could the Empress be so easy to talk to?
