Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 23
"Well, doctor, don't worry, which one of the empresses in the harem is guarding Chaoyang Palace, who would dare to go one step further?" Xiao Dezi asked Lu Kai with a smile on his face.

"Eunuch De, haven't you heard that the new beauties from Baoguo are gaining favor in Jianjiaxuan?" Lu Kai asked curiously.

"What? My lord still remembers the princess of Baoguo? The king has long forgotten her. Now, maybe she will suffer as a maidservant in some palace." Xiao Dezi regretted.

"How is this possible? The princess of Baoguo has both talents and talents, how could the king suddenly forget her completely? Could it be?" Lu Kai frowned, thinking secretly.

"Oh, my lord, I heard that Princess Baoguo offended Concubine Jin, and later she went to court with Empress Jiang, and met the two of them in the palace. Who would dare to remember Princess Baoguo?" Xiao Dezi snorted intentionally. reminded.

"Thank you, Eunuch De, a little gift here, it will be regarded as your father-in-law's tea money." Suddenly enlightened, Lu Kai quickly took out a few silver bills from his lapel, and quietly stuffed them into Xiao Dezi's hands.

"Report, sir, the king wants to summon you again." At this time, a former imperial eunuch wearing a python robe came to pass an order to Lu Kai, Lu Kai saluted, and hurriedly left Xiao Dezi, and followed the imperial eunuch to Chaoyang Palace See you.

When he arrived at the Political Hall of the former dynasty, Ming Gong was walking around the imperial case with his hands behind his back. Seeing Lu Kai standing outside bent over, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Lu Aiqing, come in quickly, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Lu Kai didn't dare to be negligent, he entered the hall respectfully and kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, Ming Gong said annoyedly: "Okay, don't stick to the little etiquette, I am urgently recruiting the son of Zheng Guo to come to the capital to take charge of it." Military power, this time, it's time for the widow to take back the royal power from the Jiang clan!"

Lu Kai was startled. Could it be that the king really wanted to launch a coup to regain power from the control of Jiang's relatives?He was originally a small minister of the Western Jin Kingdom, and he was the prince who accompanied the Emperor of Zhou since he was a child. Now the king is studying in Ming Gong. After Ming Gong succeeded to the throne, in order to cultivate his own power in the court, he was promoted to the high position of a senior official.Speaking of the real power in charge of the imperial court at this time, it is the Jiang family, the largest foreign relative since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Winning over the Jiang family, the royal family all married the young lady of the Jiang family as the royal family, and the sons of the Jiang family often married the princesses of the emperor of Zhou. States including Qi State and Shen State are all descendants of the Jiang family. Therefore, for 200 years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have been controlling the actual government affairs of the court. Minggong's father, King Zhou Xuan, once made efforts to weaken the power of the Jiang family. But unfortunately, success failed. When Ming Gong succeeded to the throne, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Jiang Xuan, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Under the governance of Jiang's family, the court survived in name only, the princes in various places were separated, and the backward well field system was implemented. In addition, strong enemies at the border were oppressing the border, and slaves continued to rebel.

Minggong is young and promising. After succeeding to the throne, he has been gathering strength and preparing to break the deadlock of foreign relatives intervening in politics. Therefore, if Lu Kai wants to enter the customs from the dragon and rely on the Minggong emperor to fly to the sky, he must be Minggong's ZTE hero. For this, He also played many chess pieces secretly, and Baosi, the princess of Baoguo, was one of them. He hoped that Baosi's beauty could spoil the harem, replace the difficult forces of the Jin family and the Jiang family in one fell swoop, and make a living for his own prosperity and wealth. Lay navigation.

It's not that Mingong is ignorant of Lu Kai's small plans, so during the process of Baosi's entry into the palace, he also tried for a long time to find out about Baosi's details, but a month ago, he discovered that Baosi had suddenly disappeared in the palace. Now, where is Baosi?The monarch and his ministers thought of being together at this time.

"Lu Kai Aiqing, you received Baosi from Baoguo. You should know why I want to praise that stubborn guy from Baoguo to pay tribute to beautiful women. I just want him to know that no one can control my authority. If he is disobedient, since he opposes the beauty pageant of the widow, then the widow must let him feel the unspeakable taste of suffering!" Ming Gong said directly, sweeping his thick eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, I thought your Majesty had forgotten Princess Baoguo. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty has deep intentions. I am stupid. Since His Majesty summoned Princess Baoguo to Chaoyang Palace to punish Baogui, then It is logical for the king to bury Princess Baoguo in the palace and torture her!" Lu Kai smiled.

"Nonsense, why would I torture Princess Baoguo on purpose? It's just that there have been rumors in the palace recently, saying that I am lustful and lustful, and that I have been ignoring the affairs of the harem for a long time in order to set an example for the officials. As for Princess Baoguo, since I She was assigned to Jianjiaxuan in the harem, how could she suddenly disappear? Does Aiqing know the inside story?" Ming Gong waved his hand.

"Well, Your Majesty, regarding the whereabouts of Princess Baoguo, I suggest that you go to Queen Jiang's Kunning Palace and Concubine Jin's Huayang Palace to track down. Your Majesty should understand that people's words are terrible, and Princess Baoguo has no rank. They were arranged to live in the harem, and many people in the palace feel that the new village is not fair." Lu Kai reminded secretly.

"Well, I understand, let's not mention this matter first, let's talk about the matter of Dutu entering the capital to take charge of the military power of the imperial guards. Will this cause Prime Minister Jiang Xuan to take the lead in objecting?" Ming Gong frowned.

"Report to Your Majesty, Zheng Guoshi's son Di Tu and Doctor Cheng Rong have come to Beijing to meet with Your Majesty, please announce your decree." At this time, the chief executive Xiao Dezi came in and reported to Ming Gong.

"Well, the people I'm waiting for have arrived, let them return to the palace as soon as possible!" A smile appeared on Mingong's face.
