Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"???"

Qin Ji suddenly felt that the emperor's mind was twitching again.

Sister, this is a secret army!You let the ministers make the decision! ?It is impossible for them to allow an organization that can deal with them to appear!

"This army cannot be hidden, so you might as well say hello to this group of people in advance. The existence of this thing is a deterrent, so tell them that there is such a deterrent now——As for the candidates, I believe they are afraid to speak out against you."

"......All right."

Qin Ji nodded.

This was the only way to go, the matter of recommending Lingyan was bound to be opposed by the officials, but fortunately, he had enough power in his hands to suppress these objections.Daxia's current situation cannot be delayed, he must implement these things as soon as possible.

After sending Qin Ji away, Xia Yuxiao took out the letter from the Heavenly Master's Mansion from under the cushion she was sitting on.

She examined the letter and finally sighed.

What was written in that letter was a "marriage reminder" message.

Strictly speaking, it is not to urge Qin Ji's marriage. The Tianshi Mansion will not, and does not bother to manage the marriage of a courtier.They will not serve courtiers.

However, when the interests of this courtier are particularly related to the interests of the emperor and Great Xia, the Tianshi Mansion will not sit idly by.

And the "marriage urging" suggestions they gave are divided into two strategies: upper and lower.

The worst strategy is to marry Qin Ji and the princess Wuheya of the Saar Dynasty. From this, Daxia can use this marriage to solve the problems in the north in the future.It is a very stable income.The risk is low, but to be honest, exchanging the best chess pieces for such a benefit is not the most satisfactory result in the eyes of Tianshifu.

The best strategy is a more radical approach that is more beneficial to Great Xia in the long run... This was unanimously approved by the celestial masters in the celestial master's mansion, and Qin Ji also participated. As for marriage partners...

emmm, it's hard for her to say.

.............................

Three days later, in the afternoon, the palace.

Qin Ji stood in the courtyard left for him by His Majesty, dragging his chin with his right hand, lost in thought.

Behind them are Lingyan, Qin Siyue, and a group of servants of Duke Anguo's mansion (of course, those practitioners who were raised by Qin Ji at home were all arranged by Qin Ji to live outside the palace).

Qin Ji was very happy when he first heard that Xia Yuxiao had prepared a place for him to live in. After all, Xia Yuxiao was willing to give him a place in the palace to live in, which meant that it was quite good for him.And according to his understanding, the place where he wants to live is actually very close to Xia Yuxiao's bedroom.

but......

Qin Ji looked up speechlessly at the three eye-catching characters above his head:

"Chunning Palace."

"Well, young master," Lingyan next to him asked weakly, "I remember, Chunning Palace, it seems to be... from the former harem?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on."

Qin Ji was speechless.

It's outrageous!What kind of operation is this?Why did you give him the harem! ?

Thinking of this, Qin Ji turned around and looked at Xia Yuxiao, the doubt in his eyes was eager for her to give an explanation.

"This is the late emperor's harem, and it is also the palace where the late emperor's concubine lived—oh, don't worry about it being unlucky, that concubine

You also know that it is the current Queen Mother, my mother.It's just that they lived in another place, and no one died here. "

Xia Yuxiao thought that Qin Ji was worried that it would be unlucky to die here, so she explained.

Her mother lived here at the beginning, but after being favored later, the first emperor simply brought her mother with her, so this place has been idle since then.

Now that the Empress Dowager is living in the Palace of Mercy and Peace, she will naturally not come back to live in Chunning Palace, and the decoration of Chunning Palace is no worse than Qin Ji's Anguo Gongfu, so Xia Yuxiao thought about it and decided to leave it here for him Living.

"No, I don't mind the environment here, what I mean is...this seems to be His Majesty's harem..."

He went to live in His Majesty's harem alone, no matter how you think about it, it's not right?

"I don't care about the harem. This place is idle now, so it's no problem for you to live here." Xia Yuxiao looked normal, "Or, do you think it's not good for you to live in the harem alone?"

"I have absolutely no intention of this."

Qin Ji thought about it carefully.

Hey, forget it, the harem is the harem, anyway, you can live anywhere.And to be honest, maybe Xia Yuxiao did it for the convenience of monitoring her. In this case, he would stay under her nose, and it would be easier for him to gain her trust.

Anyway, with Lingyan's help, he can completely bypass Xia Yuxiao's surveillance and continue to do what he wants to do as usual.As for Xia Yuxiao's backhand, that's not something he's considering—I just do what I want, as for what you think of me, anyway, you can't kill me now, and as for the future... in the future You will understand my good intentions.

Chapter 50 Upward

In early autumn, the weather turned cooler, and the official uniforms of Daxia were just right at this time to resist the coolness of the early autumn morning for every official of Daxia.

Today is a routine court meeting, before the sun comes out, a group of ministers are already waiting at the entrance of the hall.According to the usual practice, they will wait until Xia Yuxiao arrives, and then enter the main hall to discuss matters.

Of course, Xia Yuxiao herself usually wouldn't let these ministers wait too long.

At this time, the ministers gathered under the steps, greeted each other in a low voice, and chatted about the latest political affairs and the situation in various countries by the way.Others are discussing the situation of the former Zuo and Wang and their accomplices.After all, Zuo, Wang and others have been investigated by the Tingwei Mansion, and basically all that remains is to convict them.

In addition to these, of course, there are less serious ones.

For example, some officials are discussing the recent matter that His Majesty put King An Qin Ji into the harem.

This matter cannot be concealed at all, because quite a lot of documents in Daxia have to be submitted to Qin Ji, and many ministers also have to go to him to discuss matters. Everyone knows that there is a harem, so it is natural to spread the word up.

"I'll just say why Your Majesty made Qin Taiwei a king. Even if he has made great achievements, he shouldn't be so hasty. Now it seems that Your Majesty has already had an idea..."

"Hey, if you want to blame, you have to blame Zuo and Wang's gang. You said that a good prince would not do anything, and insisted on causing trouble. Now, look at this posture. His Majesty is going to tie himself and the Taiwei directly. Zuo and Wang What about the king? I didn't get anything good, and it seems that house arrest for the rest of my life is the lightest."

The whispers of the ministers were beyond the reach of most people. These ministers were not fools. They had been in the officialdom for many years, and they roughly guessed the reason why Xia Yuxiao welcomed Qin Ji into the palace.Rather, this in itself is a method that does not need to be concealed.

　 This method is very effective, the premise is that the Taiwei must be a trustworthy person who is loyal to His Majesty.But judging from the ambitions and methods displayed by the Taiwei before, he is not considered a loyal minister. Under such circumstances, His Majesty's behavior is tantamount to a big gamble.

The bet is that she can control Qin Ji.

While everyone was still discussing, Qin Ji appeared in everyone's field of vision.

At this time, Qin Ji was wearing an official uniform, walking slowly in this direction, and saw the officials under the steps from a distance.

He beckoned, and some of the ministers also set out to meet him first.

"Congratulations to Taiwei for being crowned king, Taiwei can be said to have made great contributions."

"Hahaha, Your Excellency has won the award, but it's just because of my father's shadow."

Qin Ji exchanged some polite words with everyone, then looked towards the hall: "Your Majesty hasn't come yet?"

After being reminded by him in this way, everyone noticed that it was getting late, and His Majesty hadn't gone to court, which was very rare.After all, since Xia Yuxiao took over the administration, she has always arrived on time for every court meeting. It is really strange that she is so late today.

　 Qin Ji was also surprised by this.

Hey, even though it's not a particularly important occasion, it's not good to be late.

"How about I ask?"

Qin Ji looked at the people present, and there were basically few who could ask the emperor what he was doing now and why he didn't come to court early.Then you can only ask yourself.

Thinking of this, he walked around the main hall and walked towards Xia Yuxiao's bedroom.

Naturally, not everyone can enter Xia Yuxiao's bedroom. There are dragon guards guarding the door, and the forbidden army is always patrolling nearby. The forbidden army is easy to say here. When they saw Qin Ji, they didn't hesitate. Ji put it in.

But Suilongwei was different, the female Suilongguards who were in charge of defending Xia Yuxiao stopped him.

"Master Taiwei, please wait here, Your Majesty has not come out yet."

"The ministers outside the palace have been waiting for a while. I'm worried about something wrong with His Majesty, so I'm here to ask." Qin Ji didn't say that the ministers had been waiting for too long and were a little confused, but directly said that he came here to ask. .

"No problem, Your Majesty just... feels cold occasionally, and I'm not sure if I can go to court."

"Feeling a cold?"

This is normal. The temperature has dropped considerably in the past few days. It is normal for His Majesty to suffer from the wind and cold.

Just as Qin Ji was thinking outside whether she would come out to preside over the court meeting, the door inside the palace opened, and a follower of the dragon guard came out, holding a stack of papers in her hand. She whispered to the follower of the dragon guard at the door. What did you say.

The follower Longwei nodded, then turned his head and said to Qin Ji:

"Your Majesty ordered: I'm not feeling well today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the court meeting. Since you are here, you may wish to convey and handle some matters on my behalf. After the court meeting, sort out all the affairs of the court meeting and hand them over to me for review. I will send Chief Envoy Song to accompany you. , to prove the fact that I entrusted Qing to preside over the court meeting as an agent."

After conveying Xia Yuxiao's order, the follower Longwei held the document in front of Qin Ji. Qin Ji glanced at it, but it was actually not a big deal, it was basically a matter of certainty.To put it bluntly, he used to act on behalf of Xia Yuxiao.

"The minister leads the decree, His Majesty Wanwang take care of the dragon body. After the court meeting, the minister will visit His Majesty."

Holding the document in his hand, Qin Ji couldn't help but smile when he turned around.

Looking at it like this, Xia Yuxiao really had the intention to completely bind herself to her.In this way, Qin Ji doesn't have to worry that Xia Yuxiao will get rid of him at any cost in a short time.

............

At the court meeting, the ministers finally received the summons from the guards in front of the hall, so everyone entered the hall.

However, unexpectedly, everyone did not see His Majesty.

Only next to His Majesty's jade throne, I saw Qin Ji standing there.

"???"

What happened?Where is Your Majesty?

"Everyone, Your Majesty feels the wind and cold occasionally, and today the dragon is sick, so I will act as an agent to preside over the government affairs. If you have any important matters today, please let me know. I will inform Your Majesty after the court meeting."

As Qin Ji spoke, he gestured to Song Jingqing who was beside him.Song Jingqing understood, she stood up, didn't say anything, just moved to Qin Ji's side - this is enough to explain everything.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ah no, what's the situation?

May I ask why His Majesty did not go to court for a long time, but Qin Ji is now acting as the government?

What is this operation?

Reminiscent of Qin Ji being arranged into the harem by His Majesty...

I am super!Something is wrong!

If this goes on like this, is it possible that in the future this will turn into listening to politics behind a curtain?

"That, Captain..."

"what happened?"

"Everyone has nothing important to do today, why don't you just retreat like this." Everyone said.
