The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 72
Sitting in front of the window, Gu Qingyi opened the carefully rolled note in her hand.

After reading it, he threw the note into the charcoal basin with a calm expression, and looked at the sky outside the window with his chin in his hands.

The palace banquet is about to begin.

"Your Majesty, your lords are already waiting in Zhangtai Hall."

"En." She responded lightly, and said casually: "Change clothes."

In the garden outside Zhangtai Hall, many guests have come one after another.Not only young talents, but also a lot of famous ladies who have not left the court. After all, Her Majesty's imperial decree said that they should bring their families into the palace.

As a result, many ladies and gentlemen who usually do not go out of their homes, have entered the palace to play at this time. After all, this is a palace banquet for princes from other countries, and being able to participate is also a status symbol.

Inside Zhangtai Hall, it is as warm as spring.

In the spacious hall, a thick red carpet was spread all the way to the bottom of the jade steps, and the dancers in thin tulle dresses danced enchantingly, their demeanor swaying.There are neat seats on both sides, with a clear distinction between the host and the guest, and decorative flowers, melons, fruits, tea, and fine wines are placed on them.

One person, one case, the officials took their seats one after another, and the family members sat in the seats behind them, with a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority.

The melodious sound of the piano hovers in the hall, ethereal and hard to find. Accompanied by the moving dance of the dancer, it is a scene of singing and dancing.

When Qin Shu entered the hall, there was a moment of silence in the entire hall.

He used to be a man in a thick black robe when he went to court, but today he was wearing a black robe and an ankle-length black cloak. Behind the shoulders, the figure was tall and thin, and the fair skin glowed faintly under the pearl, making him look more and more handsome, like a noble son from a famous family.

But everyone present was familiar with his personality, and knew what kind of cruel and ruthless heart was hidden under this harmless face.

Not daring to look at him more, everyone got up one after another, bowed and saluted: "I will see Your Highness."

Qin Shu didn't speak.

When he got to the bottom of the steps, he climbed up the steps step by step, all the way to the highest point, stood in front of the golden chair, and looked down at the crowd.

The hall fell silent for a while.

Raising his hand, he took out a scroll of purple imperial decree, and he spoke lightly, and his clear voice resounded clearly in the hall: "Your Majesty's decree."

The ministers were shocked, not understanding what imperial decree His Majesty made at this time.

But they have no time for doubt.

At the moment when Qin Shu's words fell, everyone bowed their knees and respectfully paid homage: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Qin Shu glanced at the people below the steps, and then read: "The imperial edict said: My eldest brother, Gu's Yuxuan, is handsome and diligent in learning, talented, loyal, and resourceful. He is specially granted the title of King of War, and he is in charge of the war." There are 20 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi. I hope that all the ministers and soldiers will assist them to strengthen the government. A prince's mansion on Zhuque Street, the imperial capital, will be given. In addition, 36 shadow guards will be given to the Cangmang Palace. I hope you will live up to the emperor's grace and serve the country faithfully. Qin bestow

"I obey the order, my emperor, long live, long live!"

The steady male voice came clearly and powerfully.

The ministers are dumbfounded!

When did His Majesty have an elder brother, isn't the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager the only child of His Majesty?
Otherwise, how did His Majesty secure the throne as a daughter?
Also, they hadn't heard any news about the unexpected King Feng!

Some active courtiers have already begun to speculate about the life experience of this prince.

Only Prime Minister Zuo's eyes were full of shock!

Gu Yuxuan...
