Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Yangxindian

Yuan Chen turned over the memorial in his hand, feeling extremely angry. He simply threw the memorial aside, pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes to rest.

"Shen Qing, I feel really tired."

Shen Ji was sitting at the bottom, and he just smiled lightly when he heard this, "It's no wonder those people are impatient. It's a fact that the emperor's harem is empty."

Yuan Chen looked bitter and sighed, "Now that the world has been decided and all forces are eyeing it, where can I find the free time to think about the draft?"

Shen Ji laughed helplessly and said in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to the Queen Mother, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of all the ministers."

Yuan Chen lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, then quietly changed the subject, "Xiao Jiu's marriage to a Turk is a hurdle in my heart. Shen Qing also saw it. I was very annoyed by the attitude of the Turk's envoy towards Dayan. , but there’s no way to start.”

"If General Song is still here..."

After saying that, Yuan Chen shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice, "With this mess in my hands, I really feel a dilemma."

Shen Ji raised his brows lightly, squinted his eyes, and focused his gaze on Yuan Chen, "If I go down, I might displease the emperor."

Yuan Chen raised his eyes and looked at him with confusion in his eyes, "Shen Qing has followed me all the way and knows what I am thinking. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shen Ji nodded, with no emotion on his face, "General Song has never been defeated in his entire life in the military. He is indeed a good general."

"The emperor is upset right now because he is worried that there will never be another person like General Song in the court."

Shen Ji paused and directly penetrated Yuan Chen's thoughts, "General Xiao is old and has a son. Although he is brave, he is not half as good as General Song. The people do not know him and the barbarians are not afraid of him. He can only be the second in command. .”

Yuan Chen stroked his forehead and said calmly, "Qing Shen knows what I am thinking. Xiao Yi can't be compared to the generals of the Song Dynasty. He is not even half as good as me. He is brave but not resourceful, and it is difficult to take the lead."

Shen Ji's eyes darkened slightly, he looked at Yuan Chen's expression, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, why don't you try...Ms. Song?"

"Song..." Yuan Chen's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you talking about Xie Li's wife?"

"Yes." Shen Ji nodded in agreement, with a calm face, "She is an orphan of the Song family. She was passed down from her father and brother. On the day of the mutiny, she led half of the armored army into the palace and killed everyone."

"As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog daughter. According to my opinion, her ability is absolutely superior, no less than that of General Song, and even a few points more powerful. She is the last bloodline of the Song family."

Shen Ji said slowly and calmly, "If Lady Song is chosen as a general, the people will be in awe of her, and the barbarians will also weigh her methods."

Yuan Chen hesitated and murmured, "But she is a woman...how can she gain a foothold on the battlefield?"

Shen Ji straightened his lips and said warmly, "This is also something that the emperor needs to consider."

"It doesn't change, or it changes the law and innovates, it all depends on the emperor's thoughts."

Yuan Chen moved his fingertips, and suddenly remembered what Lian Yan had said in his mind. After being silent for a while, he whispered, "Dayan...it's time to take a new path."

Shen Ji curled his lips and a smile filled his eyes, "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Yuan Chen's eyes brightened a little and his tone was slow, "In the coming year, the imperial examination will no longer be limited to men. Women can be officials and generals. I have given them the opportunity. Whether they can get ahead... is their business."

Shen Ji smiled and responded in a low voice, "Some people have not been able to wait for this news throughout their lives. Now that the emperor has opened the holy mouth, even if the road ahead is slim, there will be people who will try their best to break through. By then, the emperor's actions today will It will definitely be praised by thousands of people.”

Yuan Chen laughed and said in a deep voice, "I hope I am not burdened with infamy." Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and picked up the memorial aside, "If it falls into the ears of those old bones, I'm afraid it will be lively for a while."

"It's hard to reconcile everyone's opinions. Even an emperor over the ages will have many stains. No one is perfect, let alone in the mouths of others." Shen Ji chuckled and comforted, "If there are slanders, there will be others. Praise, Your Majesty, just relax."

Yuan Chen couldn't help but smile, and his mood improved a lot, "Shen Qing is good at comforting people."

Shen Ji lowered his eyes, "I'm just telling the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Ming walked into the palace holding Fu Chen and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Runan is outside asking for an audience."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen and Shen Ji were both stunned and looked at each other, feeling baffled.

Yuan Chen was puzzled and murmured, "Why did the Fifth Emperor's Uncle come to the palace?"

Shen Ji slowly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, please step aside first."

"No need." Yuan Chen raised his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice, "Shen Qing, please hide somewhere and listen to what he wants to do."

Shen Ji paused and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is unreasonable."

"It doesn't matter, I can trust you." Yuan Chen waved his hand towards Zhuo Ming and whispered, "Call the Fifth Emperor Uncle to come in."

"Yes."

Shen Ji had no choice but to hide in the screen behind the throne.

After a while, Zhuo Ming led King Runan quickly into the Yangxin Palace.

King Runan followed behind with an angry look on his face, walked to the center, saluted casually, and said in an unhappy tone, "I pay my respects to the emperor."

Yuan Chen put down the folder, his eyes fell on the man, and he whispered, "It is rare for the Fifth Emperor's Uncle to enter the palace, but do you have something important to discuss?"

"I do have something to say." King Runan raised his eyebrows, suppressed his anger, and accused, "It is not a good thing that the emperor is so friendly to the family!"

Yuan Chen didn't like his attitude, but since he was a relative, he had to give it a try and follow his words, "Uncle Five Emperors, could he be mistaken? When did I become so close to the family?"

King Runan snorted coldly and raised his voice, "Today my son Yuan Tian met a woman. The two of them had a very happy conversation. Somehow, he got into trouble with the Lian family boy. He scolded Yuan Tian and even threatened him. .”

"If there is no preference for the emperor, how can a mere son of an aristocratic family have the courage to confront the emperor?"

"I am very frightened. It is ridiculous that the descendants of aristocratic families can be more powerful than the emperor's relatives!"

King Runan learned the lesson as if it were a real thing, and did not notice that Yuan Chen's brows were getting tighter and tighter.

"Yuan Tian and Lian Yan had a quarrel?" Yuan Chen hesitated and asked in a low voice, "It's impossible. Lian Yan's temper is a bit bad, but he won't be angry over a woman..."

After he paused, a smile appeared in his mind. Yuan Chen stood up suddenly, frowned, and raised his voice, "Who did Yuan Tian touch?"

King Runan was stunned and looked at Yuan Chen inexplicably, "Your Majesty..."

Yuan Chen knew Yuan Tian's character. He was an out-and-out libertine. How could he understand etiquette as King Runan said?

"Let me ask you," Yuan Chen's eyes were cold and frightening, and he asked one word at a time, "Is that woman... the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yongcheng?"
