Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 384

When Ye Junling walked outside the imperial study room, he could still hear impassioned voices inside. You didn't say a word, and your tone was extremely fierce.

"Although I don't know why Princess Nanxiao suddenly fell ill, the crown prince also fell into a coma, which is unusual." A middle-aged man's voice was a bit tough, "I dare not doubt the doctor's diagnosis. Therefore, there is no guess as to why the two of them fell into a coma and why they woke up. But since the prince is awake, he should continue to complete the wedding ceremony, otherwise Xiang Yu's name in the East Palace will be unfair, and he will be left behind when he returns to Cheng's house It's a laughing stock, and I ask the emperor to think about my little girl's reputation and sympathize with the Cheng family's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The crown prince is now the crown prince, and he should be an example for his subjects. How can he act recklessly? Besides, the prince's marriage was given by the emperor's decree. The Cheng family's girl's reputation cannot be ridiculed—"

"Squeak" sounded.

The sound in the imperial study room stopped abruptly.

Several court elders turned their heads one after another, looked at the young man who pushed the door in, and couldn't help frowning.

"His Royal Highness entered the imperial study, why didn't he report?" Cheng Han is a straight-tempered general, and his face turned cold when he saw this, "What are the guards on duty doing?"

Ye Junling's tone was light: "General Cheng doesn't need to ask the guards, I made them not have to report."

After the voice fell, the imperial study suddenly fell into silence.

Including His Majesty the emperor, the six monarchs and ministers all looked at Yejun's Mausoleum in unison, with obvious surprises on their expressions.

His Highness the Crown Prince... seems to be different from before?

His expression became colder, and there was a bit of grace between his eyebrows and eyes that young people didn't have.

Everyone's heart trembled slightly.

"My marriage is my own decision, and I don't want you to worry about it." Ye Junling stood with his hands behind his back, his tone as indifferent as snow, "The Cheng family's daughter-in-law has a good family background, talent, and appearance, but I don't want to Accept this marriage, and tell the adults here today clearly."

"It's just nonsense!" Cheng Han was annoyed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, and the ministers should follow His Royal Highness' wishes, but this marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, and even the Crown Prince can't be so capricious. Marriage is a big deal. ? Why do you want the prince to marry if he wants to marry, and discard if he doesn’t want to marry? Who does His Royal Highness regard the ministers as—”

"Who does General Cheng think he is?" Ye Junling interrupted him casually, his brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, and his voice could not be called indifferent, but it also made people's hearts tremble, "As a minister of the king, The reward of eating the king is the matter of being loyal to the king. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Now it’s just that my palace has canceled a marriage, and General Cheng is questioning my father and my palace like this. I don’t know what is the heart of loyalty?”

As the voice fell, the air in the imperial study room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone's face changed.

General Cheng's expression was livid, "His Royal Highness can doubt anything, but he must never doubt the loyalty of the minister—"

"So your loyalty is to bring the elders of the court to press the emperor here?"

"of course not--"

"If not, why is General Cheng so aggressive in his words?" Ye Junling asked coldly, "Is General Cheng dissatisfied with me, or with my father?"

Cheng Han gritted his teeth: "The crown prince is an example for the subjects of the world, how can he act contrary to his promise? Besides, it is a crime to disobey the order and disrespect—"

"The subjects of the world are governed by their own laws, so why should I set an example for them?" Ye Junling said in a calm tone, "Could it be that thousands of people in the world don't have to do anything and just stare at the palace every day? every move?"

Cheng Han was rendered speechless by his forceful words, his face turned pale and pale.

"As for the crime of resisting the decree..." Ye Junling sneered slightly, "I have legitimate reasons to persuade the emperor to withdraw the order, and General Cheng will not bother about that."

"The prince's words are wrong." An old man next to him spoke at the right time, his tone was unhurried, but with a force that could not be refuted, "The prince is an example for the subjects of the world, which means that the prince, as the heir of a country, will The emperor after Lan, his words and deeds should be in line with the demeanor of the king. The king keeps his promises, but the king has no jokes. Even if the prince has not yet ascended the throne, he should also fulfill the rules of conduct, and should not change from day to day. Besides..."

The tone paused slightly, "Since the prince is the emperor, before he ascended the throne, the prince was also the emperor's son and minister. As a son and minister, he should obey the father's will. As a man, he should fulfill the marriage contract ordered by his parents. Loyalty or filial piety? How will the law bind the subjects in the future?"

"So?" Ye Junling's lips twitched slightly, his voice was cold, "What Mr. Wenge means is that this palace is not qualified to be a prince, is it?"

Old Wen Ge's face changed: "This old minister didn't mean that."

"How about this, my lords might as well gather all the important ministers in the court who can talk, close the door and have a good discussion. If you think who is qualified to be the crown prince, you can propose it to the father, and let the father abolish the crown prince and set up another one." That is, it will also save everyone from embarrassing this prince who cannot be an example to his subjects, what do you think?"

The words fell without haste, and several old ministers who relied on the old to sell the old could no longer stand up, and knelt down in unison: "I don't dare to wait! I never have such intentions! Please learn from the emperor!"

Ye Qingli, who was sitting behind the dragon case, squinted his eyes slightly, looking at his youngest son without saying a word, with obvious surprise and scrutiny in his eyes.

After sleeping for two days, my temperament changed drastically?Or was he suddenly opened up to Ren Du's second channel?

When did this kid become so eloquent, and so dignified and dignified?At that moment just now, even his father was almost intimidated.

Ye Junling turned his head to look at Ye Qingli, and was about to speak, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a soldier hurried over, and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty! The frontier is [-] miles away!"

what?
The monarchs and ministers in the imperial study were all shocked.

South China Sea?

"Suddenly 20 new soldiers and horses have been added to the frontier in the South China Sea. The Dongling [-] navy has arrived in warships, and there are still [-] cavalry stationed... The situation at the border is critical, please make a decision!"

The air temperature in the imperial study dropped suddenly, and several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

General Cheng's face changed greatly: "Donglan and the Tangling Empire have no grudges in the past, and have no grudges in recent days. How could they send troops for no reason? Did they make a mistake?"

"That's right." The emperor said calmly, his expression had regained his composure, "General Cheng, if Dong Lan is in a critical moment, if I send you to lead the army, what are your chances of winning?"

Odds?

Cheng Han's heart sank.

If there is a battle report from Donglan's north or west border, he thinks he still has the confidence to resist one or two, but the Dongling Empire...

Across a sea area, he has no chance of winning the Dongling Empire, which doesn't match Donglan but is extremely powerful.
