King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 402: Premonition of War (12)
In just a few days, news continued to spread back to the imperial city of Yue Kingdom. It was nothing more than battle reports that Prince Leng and General Liancheng led their soldiers to break through one city after another in Zichen Kingdom.

Leng Yuemu sat majestically on the dragon throne in the imperial hall, listening to the soldiers who came to report the news, her eyes flickering with unpredictable expressions watched the subtle changes in the expressions of every civil and military minister in the hall at this moment ...

"My dear friends, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

Leng Yuemu spoke suddenly, interrupting the conversation of the people below.

But Leng Yuemu is the emperor of Yue Kingdom after all, what is he thinking now, if he didn't take the initiative to explain, which minister would dare to speculate? !
In case one carelessness makes the emperor angry, it will be a matter of losing his head!

"Why are you all silent? Say what you think of, and I will not punish you."

Leng Yuemu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a gentle and harmless look, but no one could predict what he was planning.

"The old minister feels that the emperor must be very happy to hear the news that Lord Leng won another battle in Zichen Kingdom."

"Yes, you're right. I'm really in a good mood now, let's continue."

Leng Yuemu nodded, her right hand seemed to unconsciously brush the faucet of the golden dragon chair under her body, her gentle but deep eyes like Leng Yuechen glanced lightly at the minister who spoke , responded in agreement.

"The old minister boldly guessed that the emperor is probably thinking about how to hold a grand celebration banquet for Lord Leng and General Liancheng when they return in triumph!"

After the old minister finished speaking, he glanced at the others very complacently, as if he was silently showing off that only he understood Leng Yuemu's thoughts best, but he didn't realize that this was just revealing that he had no real skills, only knew how to flatter and flatter It's just a fact...

"That's what you said wrong. I'm not thinking about how to hold a celebration banquet for the Second Prince and Liancheng Jiang Jun, but how to make up for the vacancy in the Yue Kingdom's treasury. You should be able to imagine it, right?" This time, although the second brother took many soldiers and generals to the Zichen Kingdom, and successfully occupied many cities in the Zichen Kingdom along the way, this certainly made me feel very happy. It was just because of the war that consumed a lot of materials from the treasury Money is also an indisputable fact. So, dear friends, what good solution do you have to solve this problem?"

Leng Yuemu was still smiling like that, but no minister dared to stand up anymore.

It is about the national treasury, the foundation of the country, and everyone knows this well.What everyone knows is that the emperor is going to test them again!
Everyone still remember that last year, because of the flood in Bianzhou, the emperor asked them to express their own solutions. The first one bears the brunt of the cannon fodder.

Therefore, at this time, it is the best response strategy to wait and see.

Leng Yuemu's eyes drifted over the lowered heads of every minister, and everyone felt that there seemed to be some dangerous aura flashing over their heads, which made them secretly sweat a lot...

Your Majesty, if you want to say something, just say it directly, don't scare people like this!
Everyone was complaining, but no one had the courage to stand up and challenge Leng Yuemu's authority as the king of a country.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the palace. There is no doubt that this was the sound Leng Yuemu made when she suddenly slapped the dragon chair below her body forcefully, and at the same time showed her anger to everyone!

"What's wrong?! Didn't you have a good chat just now?! Why now I need you to contribute good ideas, but one by one has become dumb?!"

The gentleness in the eyes has long since disappeared, replaced by a cold anger, the anger of a king!

"Please make amends, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers fell to their knees and looked down at the floor, not daring to look at Leng Yuemu again, for fear of being caught by Leng Yuemu and punished for "disrespect".

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, holding the state salary but unable to use any ability, Leng Yuemu's handsome face became even uglier!

"Tomorrow morning, I want to listen to each of you's thoughts. If it is still the same as now, everyone will be fined a year's salary! Retire!"

After finishing speaking, Leng Yuemu flicked her sleeves and left, leaving only the ministers kneeling on the ground...

"Why should the emperor be so angry? Leng Yuechen is now attacking the palace of the Zichen Kingdom in one breath. When he really captures the Zichen Kingdom, for you, the emperor, it will be one step closer to unifying the world, isn't it?" ?!"

In the imperial study room, Leng Yuemu retreated all the serving ladies and eunuchs, and there was no lamp in the room, the light was very dark, and some gloomy male voices rang out in such a dark and depressing atmosphere. get up...

This person is An Ming who should have been in death row!
"Hehe, to rule the world?! I can't even compare with Leng Yuechen, how can I rule the world?!"

Clenching her angrily right hand into a fist, Leng Yuemu slammed it forcefully on the desk in front of her, and faint dust swayed and fluttered uneasily in the air.

"So the emperor is concerned that Leng Yuechen's prestige in everyone's eyes is higher than yours? Hehe, this is not a problem at all. Why are you angry at such a trivial matter, Your Majesty?"

An Ming came out from the shadows, with an aura darker than the night, approaching Leng Yuemu, with a bewitching tone in his voice.

That's right, for a long time, those ministers who deliberately made things difficult for Leng Yuemu were the ones who flattered Leng Yuechen in every possible way but ignored his majesty as king!Although it is said to be a "test" in name, in fact it is just to give them a warning and punishment!

No matter how talented Leng Yuechen is, no matter how beloved he is, and no matter how lofty and stalwart he is in the eyes of the people of the Yue Kingdom, he is still a "subject" and he, Leng Yuemu, is the only one in the Yue Kingdom. A real king!The life and death of all of them are in the hands of Leng Yuemu!
No one knew what price he had paid to obtain the throne from Leng Yuechen's subordinates, to surpass Leng Yuechen in the eyes of his father, and to gain the approval of everyone in Yue Kingdom!
Why? !Even though he is sitting on the Dragon Throne now and has the most noble status in the entire Yue Kingdom, he still has to endure this depression that is not as good as Leng Yuechen in every way!

"From what you said, it seems that there is a good way to prevent this kind of thing from happening? Let's listen to it. Maybe I will be in a better mood, and I will avoid the pursuit and arrest of Mr. Ling."

Leng Yuemu opened her mouth indifferently, and glanced at An Ming's still gloomy face without much emotional change. He felt a little suspicious that it was not just Princess Leng, but even An Ran was not his own. son? !

The inquiry and suspicion in his eyes were fully taken into An Ming's eyes, but he didn't want to explain at all. Some doubts might save his child's life, so why be so stupid as to explain everything clearly...

"It's very simple. If your majesty is tired of Leng Yuechen's status and influence in everyone's mind, and even worried that this influence of Leng Yuechen will one day affect your emperor's throne, then... you might as well allow him Fight, never come back."

A fierce hatred flashed in An Ming's gloomy eyes, and he spoke clearly.

Leng Yuemu's face flashed a gloomy and ruthless look. To be honest, this idea also flashed in his mind, but...

"Leng Yuechen is the Lord Leng of our Yue Kingdom, and even a strong general of our Yue Kingdom. How can I let him go to Zichen Kingdom this time and never return?! Wouldn't it be like destroying one of my friends with my own hands? Right-hand man?!"

Leng Yuemu was obviously not that vicious, she shook her head and refused to accept this suggestion.

He really wanted to regain the love and respect in the hearts of all the people and ministers in the Yue Kingdom, but instead of trying to get rid of Leng Yuechen with all means, he still hoped to use his own ability to personally regain the love and respect he wanted. everything of!
The king's dignity and arrogance made it impossible for him to secretly frame Leng Yuechen like a despicable villain.

"Your Majesty, have you really thought about it? Such an opportunity is not easy to come across. If you lose this time, it will be impossible to get rid of Leng Yuechen."

An Ming seemed to know something, and said with a pun.

In fact, An Ming does still hold the last "weight" that can negotiate with either Leng Yuechen or Leng Yuemu...

How could an old and cunning man like An Ming fail to consider leaving a way out for himself to save his life? !
"You don't need to say more, Leng Yuechen is my second younger brother no matter what, and I will not kill him cruelly."

Leng Yuemu spoke again to reject An Ming's vicious suggestion, expressing her resolute attitude that she would never make a move against Leng Yuechen.

An Ming didn't say much anymore. Although he knew some things, he couldn't say them... No matter who he was, he had to pay the price for his decision, whether it was good or... bad.

Late autumn has passed, and the small animals in the mountain stream are almost ready to enter the deep sleep mode of hibernation.But it has a fiery red color like a flame, jumping up and down in the mountain stream, with a lively appearance, where is there any sign that it is about to hibernate? !
