Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 372 Exchange
On the second day, Emperor's Hall.

After all the officials entered the court, Xuanyuan Zhen wore a golden dragon robe and sat on a dragon chair.

After everyone shouted long live, the eunuch of the chief of ceremonies shouted at the top of his voice: "The big things will be played, the small things will be covered, and the blinds will be rolled up for nothing—"

The prime minister stood up first, took out a memorial from his sleeve, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

"En." Xuanyuan Zhen motioned to the eunuch beside him, took the memorial, and held it in front of him.

The prime minister was talking about the flood in the Yellow River, Xuanyuan Zhen pondered for a moment, and then sent troops to deal with it.

After this matter was dealt with, Yang Jian held up the memorial and went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

Xuanyuan Zhen glanced at Yang Jian, and said slowly, "Say."

"Now the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are doing a lot of evil in Guangxi, causing the people to live in dire straits. I think we should send people to quell the chaos as soon as possible." Yang Jian said without delay.He had already got to know Xuanyuan Zhen yesterday, so he would naturally pick up what the other party liked to hear.

Xuanyuan Zhen pondered for a moment, then asked: "Yang Qing's family, who do you think will be the best decision?"

"I think King Jing is worthy of this job." Yang Jian replied.

Before Xuanyuan Zhen could react, the officials below began to discuss.After all, the emperor has always attached great importance to the prince, and such things are often not the turn of King Jing.And Yang Jian is a celebrity around the emperor, logically speaking, it is impossible to speak for King Jing.

Unless, the emperor's mind changes.

"Silence!" Seeing that the scene was about to be overwhelmed, the officials of Honglu Temple hurriedly stood up to maintain order.

The officials quieted down a bit, but they were still discussing in low voices.Finally, officials who supported the prince stood up one after another to oppose Yang Jian's proposal.

"I think His Royal Highness is more suitable..."

The official who spoke for the prince began to talk endlessly, but what he didn't notice was that Xuanyuan Zhen's face had turned dark.If he looked up a little, he might not even dare to speak.

After the official finished speaking for a long time, Xuanyuan Zhen said coldly: "As for getting rid of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, Fang Xu will be the chief general, King Jing will be the supervisor, and he will lead the troops to Guangxi tomorrow."

Fang Xu, as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, is naturally very good at leading troops to fight.And his personality has always been fiery and authoritarian, I am afraid that King Jing's role as the supervisor is only in name only.After hearing this, the officials of the prince's party finally did not stop him.

As a result, the matter of quelling the chaos came to an end for the time being.

After the morning court, Xuanyuan Zhen left several officials behind and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue the discussion.Xuanyuan Jue was also waiting at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.He saw Xuanyuan Zhen approaching from a distance, and saluted, "I have seen my father."

"En." Xuanyuan Zhen signaled King Jing to come in together.

King Jing and a group of officials entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.After the emperor sat down, he began to formally discuss the matter of calming the chaos.

"King Jing, what do you think of the fact that I sent you to Guangxi to quell the chaos this time?" Xuanyuan Zhen looked at his young son with a puzzled look on his face.

Xuanyuan Jue didn't know the intention of Xuanyuan Zhen's words, so he replied: "It is my duty to quell the chaos, so I am naturally willing to go to share the worries of the emperor and the common people."

"Very good, you go with Fang Xu. The remaining party of the White Lotus Sect must be wiped out in one fell swoop. I don't want to see these people jumping again, understand?" The White Lotus Sect controls people's hearts and has many disciples. If it is not destroyed as soon as possible, it may produce bad effects.Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhen was also very anxious, and hoped that the matter would be resolved as soon as possible.

"I understand." Although Fang Xu was arrogant, he was still restrained in front of Xuanyuan Zhen.

After discussing the chaos, Xuanyuan Zhen's expression was exhausted.He motioned for everyone to back down, and began to close their eyes and meditate.

After Xuanyuan Jue entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters, the Prince's Mansion was also in chaos.

"His Royal Highness, in the early court today, the emperor appointed King Jing as the supervisor of the chaos. This is probably not a good thing. There were many officials and ministers talking about it in the morning. Everyone was discussing, what is the meaning of the emperor's move!"

In the chamber, the officials of the princelings were arguing.

Another official immediately retorted: "It's just a supervising army. Everyone should know who Fang Xu is, and with him, what kind of advantages King Jing can get. When it comes to military merits, King Jing will not have a share." !"

"That's not necessarily the case. The emperor never appointed King Jing before. This time he let go and let King Jing be the supervisor. This is bad news, and we must take it seriously."

The official who started to speak also retorted.

Xuanyuan Ming, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head and said loudly: "Enough is enough, stop talking!"

All the officials and staff present were silent.

They didn't know what happened to make Xuanyuan Ming so furious.It seems that starting from these two days, Xuanyuan Ming's attitude became worse and worse, and his mood became worse and worse.

Yes, Xuanyuan Ming was very irritable at this time.Since returning from Qinfang Palace that day, he has not seen Xuanyuan Zhen until now.Firstly, he didn't want to see him, and secondly, Xuanyuan Zhen never summoned him again.

This is indeed a bad signal, so his heart is very chaotic.If after this incident, he was really rejected by Xuanyuan Zhen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I don't know His Royal Highness, what do you think?"

Xuanyuanming looked at the official and said angrily: "I have already said it, don't say it again, don't you understand?"

"Yes." The official's face turned red and then pale.

Xuanyuan Ming suddenly realized that his attitude was a bit off, and quickly said: "It's my fault, I'm too harsh. I didn't expect this matter, so I won't deal with it for now."

"Don't you need to deal with it?" The official was stunned.

Xuanyuan Ming nodded.If it was normal, he would definitely cause trouble for Xuanyuan Jue, but at this time, he was too busy to take care of himself, so he had no time to care about Xuanyuan Jue's life or death.

Xuanyuan Ming also absent-mindedly listened to what everyone was discussing next.After everything was said, the officials and staff of the princelings retreated one after another.

After going out, one of the group of officials said, "Don't you think that His Highness the Crown Prince has been acting abnormal recently?"

"Yes, His Highness has often been angry for no reason these days. I don't know why, but he seems to be preoccupied and unable to do anything." One of the staff members has a deep understanding.

Another official said: "Brother Shen, you and Your Highness have the best relationship on weekdays, why don't you ask His Highness alone?"

"I'm going to ask?"

"Yeah, if you don't ask, how do you know what's on your mind? If you ask, just solve it. Otherwise, King Jing will have an opportunity to take advantage of it if this continues."

"Okay." The official called Brother Shen reluctantly agreed.

Second, Xuanyuan Jue, who was not favored, and Fang Xu set off with an army.Three days later, they rushed to Guangxi to quell the chaos.In less than a month, the army wiped out all the remaining members of the White Lotus Sect.

Xuanyuan Zhen was also greatly surprised by the speed.

After the army arrived at the imperial city, Xuanyuan Zhen sent someone to meet him as a token of his kindness.

After welcoming the end of the discussion, both Fang Xu and Xuanyuan Jue were invited to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to meet Xuanyuan Zhen.

"Haha, Fang Aiqing calmed down the chaos this time, and I am very pleased." Xuanyuan Zhen solved the problem in his heart, and he has been in a happy mood for the past few days.

Fang Xu changed from his usual arrogance, and his expression became a little weird: "Back to the emperor, in fact, the biggest contributor to the quelling of the chaos this time is His Royal Highness King Jing. I dare not be ashamed."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Zhen's expression froze.

Fang Xu replied: "Yes, it was His Royal Highness King Jing's ingenious tricks that made the officials quickly put down the chaos with very few casualties."

It was almost impossible, but Xuanyuan Jue did it.Even Fang Xu, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, rarely admires Xuanyuan Jue.Then, I have to say that Xuanyuan Jue is really capable.

"The commander-in-chief Fang praised me, but I just proposed some strategies. If the commander-in-chief hadn't been so brave, the suppression of the chaos would not have ended so quickly." Xuanyuan Jue said flatly, as if he didn't want to take military merits to himself.

Xuanyuan Zhen glanced at the two of them, and then readily gave each other a series of rewards.As for the official position, there is no way to get promoted. After all, Fang Xu is already a deputy privy envoy at a young age.

"Okay, let's all step back, King Jing stays here." Xuanyuan Zhen said.

"Yes."

After Fang Xu and the others resigned, Xuanyuan Zhen spoke slowly: "King Jing, I have rewarded all the officers and soldiers who put down the chaos this time. You, too, will not be left behind. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Sharing the emperor's worries is a matter of the minister's duty, and there is no need for rewards." Xuanyuan Jue said.

"Since I said this, I can't take it back." Xuanyuan Zhen's attitude was firm and he didn't allow the other party to resist.

Xuanyuan Jue knelt on the ground without thinking, "Then, I have a merciless request."

"Say." Xuanyuan Zhen said.

Xuanyuan Zhen said slowly: "I beg the emperor to let my concubine go, Xie Wanqing. She is now pregnant with my child. No matter how big a mistake she made, I can't bear it. I hope the emperor can let her go once." If possible, I am willing to accept the punishment on her behalf."

"Concubine Jing is pregnant?" Xuanyuan Zhen was a little surprised.At the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day, he vaguely remembered Xie Wanqing's calmness and determination, but he did not expect that she was pregnant at that time, she was really different from ordinary women.

Xuanyuan Jue nodded deeply: "Exactly, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Why not?" Xuanyuan Zhen said after thinking for a while, "Princess Jing contradicted me that day. She must have known her mistake after being in prison for so long. Let her go, that's fine."

The calm Xuanyuan Jue also showed joy when he heard these words: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Come here." Xuanyuan Zhen immediately called the eunuch beside him.

"The slave is here."

"Go to the prison to declare my will, and immediately release Princess Jing." Xuanyuan Zhen ordered.

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Jue to make any reaction, Xuanyuan Zhen said: "King Jing, you should also step back."

Xuanyuan Jue was naturally extremely happy, he wished he could fly to the gate of the prison to welcome Xie Wanqing out of prison.As soon as Xuanyuan Zhen spoke, he resigned and left.

Looking at Xuanyuan Jue's back, Xuanyuan Zhen was thoughtful.
