The Retirement of the Demon Lord

On the Hall of the Golden Throne, after many days the emperor finally came to court, and the civil and military officials gathered together.

The white hair of the emperor made Baiguan suffer a lot at first sight, and they were all worried about the emperor's dragon body. Afterwards, it took several hours to report the recent work, including the case of the prince's rebellion, to the emperor. Instead of taking a break, the emperor was always in good spirits, which slowly made all the ministers relieved about the emperor's dragon body condition.

"Reward, Li Mengyao!" Eunuch Chen received the emperor's will, and then called.

Eunuch Chen, the former chief of the internal affairs, was murdered. I don’t know where to find an Eunuch Chen with a similar appearance to the previous Eunuch Chen. Although the ministers were secretly curious, they did not dare to ask more about the emperor’s valet. as ever.

Jiang Hao, Gongliang Junyi and other generals and officials of Gongwei Sidong Jishi Factory and other generals and officials who made outstanding contributions on the night of the Lantern Festival have all been awarded. Jiang Hao was promoted to the first rank and assumed the post of Commander Tongzhi of the Gongwei Division. Jiang Hao's team was promoted to the first rank, except for Liu Xiaoquan, who asked for leave and did not enter the palace to rescue him. Gongliang Junyi was promoted to the first rank, and he was appointed as the new director of the Dongji Factory. Liu Yunlu and another supervisor made outstanding performances and were appointed as the new supervisors of Dongji Factory. Tang Guangyao, who came to rescue him, was promoted to the first rank, and his position remained unchanged for the time being.

In addition to promotion, money such as bounty and silver is naturally not a problem.

The other award personnel did not elaborate one by one, and some of those with lower positions did not receive the award at the Golden Throne Hall, so the reward will naturally be sent to them.

After the long list of awards was over, it was finally Li Mengyao's turn to listen to the awards.

Li Mengyao, dressed in a fitted martial robe, with her hair combed, looked capable and neat, stepped out of the queue, bowed and saluted.

"Li Mengyao, Princess Cheng Mengyao, loyal to her liver and righteousness, standing in front of her in times of crisis, disregarding her life and death, not taking a step back, she is indeed a model of heroic women. The reward is 100 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver! Commander, the official is of the third grade! Grant, embroidered spring knife, flying fish suit!"

"The minister accepts the order!"

Li Mengyao bowed her head and stepped forward, respectfully reaching out to take the tray from Eunuch Chen. On it were the badges and official seals of the commander of the Gong Guard Division that she was familiar with, as well as a brand-new embroidered spring knife, and a set of brocade robes specially tailored for her with blue embroidered silver four beasts, gold flying fish and powder peony.

This imperial embroidered spring knife flying fish suit is the origin of the characteristics of the Jinyiwei under the Gongwei Division, representing the supreme glory of the Gongwei Division.

Li Mengyao's hands trembled slightly, but the moment she received the tray, her hands became extremely calm.

She has experienced ups and downs. Compared with the excitement and impatience to prove her courage when she first heard the seal, she has settled down, and she already understands better that this dress and this knife represent the hardest defense of imperial power. The shield, the sharpest spear! Since you have picked it up, you will protect the country and fly brocade, and you will have a heavy responsibility!

Li Mengyao took over the official seal, and all the officials nodded in approval.

Li Mengyao's performance in the past when he was in charge of the Guard Division had convinced them. When the emperor dismissed Li Mengyao because of the death of the second prince and the two princesses' playfulness, Baiguan did not approve of it very much. In particular, after Gongwei Si lost Li Mengyao, he was immediately charged by the bandit party. Later, it became the biggest help for the prince's rebellion and the imperial court collapsed.

When Jiang Hao, who made a great contribution, was only appointed as the commander and cognizant, Li Mengyao appeared in the Golden Palace inexplicably as a princess. In fact, the ministers had already noticed it. The ministers were not surprised to see Li Mengyao returning to his original post.

The emperor deliberately did not mention more about the battle of the crown prince. The punishment should be punished and the reward should be rewarded. This is the end.

"What else do you have to play?" Although the emperor said that he had lost a lot of weight, his dantian voice was resonant, and he was still in good shape after a long morning.

After all, these few days, he has paid more attention to his body than ever before, followed the words of Imperial Physician Xue, carefully recuperating inside and out, and even practising his own internal skills, which were somewhat abandoned, to strengthen his body. Although the depressed body has not recovered to the best after this period of time, but the spirit and energy have been adjusted to the best.

Eunuch Chen was very relieved when he saw it. He was fortunate that the old man Tianji brought such an important secret to the emperor. No matter if it was true or not, in short, as long as people had hope, they would have the motivation to live well. Otherwise, the emperor could no longer hold back his grief and fell.

"This minister has something to do." A not-so-young minister came out and bowed, "I know that the governor of Jiujiang has a niece, Nian Fang, eighteen, who is only eight times tall, and her appearance is even more stunning in Jiujiang. Beautiful, the Jiujiang governor has been unable to find a good husband who is worthy of her. The emperor is a dragon among people, and it will definitely save the Jiujiang governor from worrying about finding a hero, and the minister is bold, hoping to be the emperor's matchmaker."

The emperor smiled bitterly when he heard the words, he was eighteen years old, and his eldest princess was twenty-one!

As the honorable man of the ninety-five years, he can take a concubine as long as he wants, but none of the three generations of the Li family are so old that they insist on taking such a young concubine. What's more, some of his concubines are young, such as Concubine Kui, who just gave birth to a little princess, only in her twenties.

The emperor understood the intention of the minister, and wanted to urge him to regenerate the dragon son, lest there would be no successor in the country.

But can't they still see that their children are not many and suffer one by one, it's not that the concubines can't do it, but that he is destined to be a lonely dragon!

Marrying a new concubine will not help.

"Do you think my concubine is getting old, or do you think my concubine can't have children?" The emperor's face became solemn. He knew that this situation would happen, and he thought about countermeasures. He felt that it would be difficult to calm down if he didn't show his attitude. .

"I dare not!" Which official dares to wear such a big hat!

However, as if they had made an appointment in advance, another minister silently stood up and saluted, persuading him, "But the emperor is in his prime, and the dragons and tigers are fierce.

"I'm not busy enough with official business, so you also have to take care of my family affairs?" The emperor frowned.

"The Son of Heaven has nothing to do with the family, please let the emperor know." One by one, the ministers came out to salute, with solemn expressions on their faces.

They are here to force themselves to have offspring, just like the scene of the petition of the ministers after Li Jianbi's death.

The emperor has no family affairs. This is so familiar and makes him speechless. He was unstoppable.

If the old man Tianji hadn't leaked his eldest son's information, he might have followed their wishes and broke the jar. But he is different now. The key is to focus on finding Long'er.

If the ministers knew that Long'er was still alive, they probably wouldn't be so demanding. But he already knew what the old man Tianji said was true, and he didn't dare to divulge the slightest bit of information for fear of hurting his son~www.readwn.com~ must not tell them.

The emperor was having a headache, and the ministers were actually also having a headache. Although there are many people who have come forward to speak out, they have not yet reached the level of unity, and many ministers are in a wait-and-see state.

The reason for this is mainly because of Yang Shiqi, Prime Minister Yang.

Prime Minister Yang is the first-rank official, standing at the front. He is old, and he can't hold on to the court meeting for several hours. The emperor specially asked him to move a chair and let him sit and listen... In the end, he fell asleep now. That incense, so that in the second half of the session, they even softened their voices unconsciously and couldn't bear to wake him up.

Except for the people from the three companies, most of the other ministers who wait and see and do not express their position are mostly the direct descendants or disciples of the clan to which Yang Shiqi belongs. They listened to Yang Shiqi's slight snoring, but they looked at each other helplessly, not acting rashly.

"Cough cough. Prime Minister Yang, what do you think?" The emperor coughed heavily, intending to wake Yang Shiqi, but he still failed to wake Yang Shiqi.

Later, Eunuch Chen went over and gently patted Yang Shiqi to wake up.

The ministers were deeply surprised that at such a time when the emperor woke up Prime Minister Yang, wouldn't their ministers be more united? If the emperor really didn't want Nafei to do such a thing of shooting himself in the foot?

Could it be that the emperor was thin-skinned, and he had to create a scene of excitement among the ministers before agreeing to marry a sweet wife who could be a daughter? Tsk, it's still honest to say that you don't want your body!

When all the ministers were thinking about it, Yang Shiqi woke up slowly, looked at Eunuch Chen and spit out the saliva from his mouth: "Is it time to retreat? Is it time for dinner? If it is over, I will have dinner in the palace before leaving."
