Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 511

"Then do I count as an enemy? The courtiers know that I am afraid that I will not be able to sit firmly on the throne."

"When will your throne be firmly established? If you don't get rid of the six great families, you will be a puppet."

When the flagon was dry, the two of them treated the wine glass as a toy, and turned it back and forth in their hands. While talking and laughing, when outsiders saw it, they thought that the two were really talking about old times. How many people's life and death have been decided, and what general trend of the world has been affected...

"Squeak!" The dry door hinge, as if unable to bear the weight of the door leaf, moaned angrily in the dark night when it was pushed open, and the dozing guards hurriedly straightened their backs.

Fang Xin nodded with the guards who looked over, and walked to his carriage.But before he got halfway there, Qin Quan chased him out.

"Master Fang, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

As soon as he went to refill a pot of wine, the small wine table was scattered, and he almost ran out of breath before catching up.

"Why, what's the matter with Manager Qin?"

Fang Xin was a little puzzled, thinking that Qin Rui had changed his mind.Qin Quan hurriedly waved his hand, took a few breaths and then swept to the side. Seeing no one was there, he stepped forward and begged in a low voice, "If Mr. Fang is not going out of Beijing in the future, can you...well, can you come and talk to our master more often? say?"

Fang Xin frowned, and didn't speak for a while, which made Qin Quan quickly explain, "You don't need to come here often, just drink and talk with our master every half a month or so. To tell you the truth, Mr. Fang, our master has no friends in the capital. At the Hou's Mansion...hey, it's fine if you don't talk about it. You are the only one who can talk with our master."

Fang Xin turned his head to look at the quiet and silent imperial city, and sighed, "Today, he is the one who found it. Whether it is good or bad, he has to bear it himself. Compared with my righteous sister living on an isolated island, compared with the big The general marched into Dai Viet alone, he should be content."

The carriage kicked away and left Qin Quan looking at the long shadow in front of him being pulled by the palace lantern, and he didn't know what to say other than sighing.

Originally thought that the master had found out his life experience and got back everything that belonged to him, and everything would be fine.But now it seems that no one seems to be happy?Who was at fault, the master shouldn't take back everything that belonged to him, or was it the fault of the wandering family?

"Forget it!" Qin Quan stomped heavily, "Damn God, that..."

He originally wanted to write a line of poetry in his heart, but unfortunately he had limited ink in his stomach, and in the end he could only choke out a sentence, "God is not merciful, he treats people like dogs!"

A nearby guard couldn't help laughing when he heard this, which made Qin Quan blush, gave him a hard look, and hurried into the palace gate.

Quietness was restored in front of the palace gate. The guards patrolled as they should, slacking off as they should, occasionally shivering and swearing a few words when blown by the autumn wind.

But the whole capital quietly started to make noise, and countless figures sneaked in and out of various rich and powerful families.The prime minister's son's night meeting with the new emperor?What are you discussing? Is the new emperor plotting something?
Countless questions floated in the minds of countless people, especially in the study of Linghu's old house.Originally, there were six chairs and six owners, but now two chairs are empty, and only four are left.

Every time Patriarch Linghu glanced over the empty chair, his pupils shrank.Originally thought that the person who pushed the throne was a puppet, and his every move would be controlled by him.I don't want the puppet to turn back now and cut off two pieces of the six big families that were hugged together.

If there is no other way, who knows if all the people here will leave in a few days?
"No matter what ideas the new emperor is planning, and what pawns that Fang family boy is acting as, we can't tolerate the new emperor's arrogance any longer. This Donghao's world was taken back by us for him. , Tusigoubei, we can’t be that bow and dog.”

The other three Patriarchs looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Master Linghu, what's your opinion, just say it."

Patriarch Linghu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Originally, if the new emperor was obedient, it would not be impossible to allow him to sit on the dragon chair for a few more years. Now it seems that since he is disobedient, let's replace him with an obedient one."

"Lord Linghu is saying..." A Patriarch frowned, and asked in doubt, "Suppose someone else sits on the throne? If the new emperor's wings are hardened like the new emperor's, and he starts to be out of Kong's control, what should I do? "

"Don't worry." Patriarch Linghu smiled secretly, "It's time for the emperor to choose a concubine, and if there are girls of the right age in your family, it's time to get ready."

The other three Patriarchs were taken aback when they heard this, but then their eyes lit up.

Queen, heir.Empress Dowager, Son Emperor...

Doesn't it mean that whose daughter gave birth to the prince, whose family will be the actual controller of Donghao in the future...

This pie is just too big and seems to be within reach...

The crescent moon outside the window hid in the clouds with some disgust, but the ugliness in the world cannot happen without watching it all the time.

When the sky was faintly pale, the gates of the palace were still full of carriages.All the officials with slightly red eyes arranged their positions one by one, and when the bell rang, they filed into the gate of the palace.

In the Qiankun Palace, the eunuch for ceremonies glanced at the emperor who was lazily leaning on the dragon chair, and shouted obediently, "If you have a book, start playing quickly, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

The civil and military officials looked at each other and shook their heads.Although the backyard gates of each family were not idle last night, it was hard to talk about the things discussed and guessed.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

A servant from the Ministry of Rituals moved sideways out of the train at such a time, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

"Present it!" Qin Rui nodded, a young eunuch had already received the memorial, and handed it to Qin Quan. Qin Quan simply touched it and found nothing unusual, and then sent it to the Long Shuan.

Qin Rui looked at it twice, but his expression was strange, and he even had a faint smile. He could see that all the officials below looked at each other, full of doubts, and didn't understand what the Minister of Rites said in the memorial.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was also worried. His memorial was written on the rules of human relations. How could the emperor laugh? Did he guess the involvement behind the memorial...

After a while, Qin Rui finally said, "Give the memorial to the prime minister."

Qin Quan quickly turned it around again, and it was in the hands of Prime Minister Fang.Prime Minister Fang glanced at it a few times, and finally read it out in a calm manner.

Only then did the civil and military officials understand that the minister of rites had suggested the emperor to choose a concubine.

Choose concubine!

As soon as these two words appeared in their minds, everyone suddenly realized.Previously, Gong Zhiming was resolutely unwilling to choose a concubine, and even threw out an excuse of "inhumane", which made everyone's thinking rigid. They never thought of broadening their official career or consolidating their family power by taking a shortcut like sending a girl to choose a concubine.

But I forgot, now that there is a new emperor, the new emperor will not be equally "inhumane", right?

If it is true to choose a concubine, the girl from the family will fly to the branch and become a phoenix. If she is lucky enough to have an heir, wouldn't it be extremely easy to become rich and prosperous in the future!
Thinking in this way, the eyes of almost most of the officials became fiery.Then he sneaked a glance at Qin Rui who was sitting on the dragon chair, wishing that he would transform into a stallion right away.

A cold look flashed across Qin Rui's eyes, and he sneered, but he said, "Loves have really worked hard, not only helping me manage the court affairs, but now also worrying about my harem, it's really hard work."

"I am frightened!"

None of the officials who can stand in Donghao's court hall is a fool, so he can naturally hear the irony in these words.But thinking about the benefits of choosing a concubine, everyone pretended to be a fool.

Now that he has become an official, Patriarch Linghu who "occupied" an old position in the pavilion smiled and said, "Royal blood and heirs are related to the succession of the country. This is a big deal. The ministers are willing to share the worries of the emperor. The emperor is busy with government affairs." , There are also concubines asking about their health, it is a good thing for both public and private, and I hope the emperor will grant it."

Qin Rui sneered even worse, and turned to look at Prime Minister Fang, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Fang originally had his eyelids half down. Hearing this, he walked out of the shift slowly and stood up, bowed his head in salute, and then responded, "Lord Linghu's words are correct, but compared to choosing a concubine to fill the harem, the old minister thinks there is one more thing to do." more important."

"Oh, Mr. Fang, you want to talk about it, what is more important than the succession of the country and the blood of the royal family?"

Patriarch Linghu was very unconvinced, and retorted with a half-hearted smile.

Prime Minister Fang also disagreed with him, and slowly took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it over.

Now all the civil and military officials couldn't help raising their heads, they were very puzzled what Prime Minister Fang was going to report against the six great families at this time, no, the limelight of the four great families.

"Snapped!"

Qin Rui, however, became angrier the more he read the memorial, and slapped his hands heavily on the desk, "Damn it, the Jinhekou defenders are already so lawless!"

Jinhe Estuary?
All the civil and military officials felt dizzy for a moment, and they didn't understand why Prime Minister Fang played at this time, which involved the defenders of Jinhekou.Although Jinhekou is connected with Donghao and Dayue, there is no war between the two countries, and only merchant ships communicate on weekdays.Even if there are some mistakes, it will not provoke the prime minister to play, and the emperor will be furious!

But what they can't figure out is still behind.

Contrary to his usual laziness, Qin Rui immediately issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Jinhekou defenders.

Patriarch Linghu was also confused, and couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly moved his hands on Jinhekou.Although the defender of Jinhekou was from the Wu family, and he was considered an important pawn in their hands, it wasn't so important that he was calculated like this.

Intuitively, he felt that this matter could not be let go, so he quickly stopped him, "Hold on, Your Majesty, the guard of Jinhekou guards the mouth of the river. He has worked hard without credit. If he orders punishment so suddenly, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts and make the army's morale unstable." .In the opinion of the old minister, should I send the censor to investigate first? Besides, the emperor is about to choose a concubine. Such a happy event should not be bumped into..."

Unexpectedly, Qin Rui waved his hands resolutely, and frowned, "The people suffer and are exploited. As the emperor, how can he choose a concubine? This matter must be thoroughly investigated immediately, otherwise there is no need to choose a concubine."

Patriarch Linghu gritted his teeth with hatred, he could tell that Qin Rui would not choose a concubine if he refused to give up the position of guard at Jinhekou.This chess game is one piece for another.Either a tie, depending on the next method.Either it is a stalemate, and no one can act rashly.
