A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C231
An Yi Xuan continued, “Your majesty, this old subject will lead people to the palace. We will meet in battle and even use weapons to seize Your Majesty. This is a capital offense. May Your majesty bestow this old subject’s death upon us to thank the world.”
Dongfang Haotian was in a difficult situation. He didn’t want to kill anyone, but An Yi had indeed committed a capital crime, what should he do?
Leng Qiyue said: “Your majesty, a loyal and patriotic official who values the lives of his citizens, is he a loyal official or a treacherous official?”
Hearing that, joy flashed across Dongfang Haotian’s eyes, and he said: “Of course it’s loyal.”
Leng Qiyue and Dongfang Haotian had drank Luan Feng and Ming Ming, their hearts and minds were linked, thus the two of them began to act out a double play.
“Your majesty, have you heard of the story of the yellow robe being added to your body?” Leng Qiyue was ready to tell the story.
Dongfang Haotian shook his head: “No, what kind of story is this?”
Leng Qiyue thought for a while, then recomposed the story to make it simple and clear. She then said, “A long time ago, there was an Emperor who spent all his time eating and playing, ignoring the politics of the kingdom. He didn’t even know the suffering of the common people. There was a minister who said that the commoners could no longer eat porridge. Then the emperor said that the commoners could no longer eat porridge, so they had to eat meat. That official was angered to death on the spot.
The emperor had an uncle who was a wise prince, and the ministers wanted him to be their emperor, but he felt it was against the rules and was adamant in not agreeing.
The ministers finally took advantage of his sleep to put the dragon robe over him, and shouted “Long live,” so he had no choice but to be the Son of Heaven. Ever since he had ascended to the throne, he had devoted himself to the government and loved the people. Soon, the people would be able to live a good life. As a result of his wisdom and decisiveness, he also dispelled the intention of the neighbouring countries to march in order to avoid a war.
Your Majesty, do you think that this Emperor is perverse or just in accordance with the wishes of the people? And those ministers, are they traitors or good people who are loyal to their people? ”
Dongfang Haotian laughed out loud: “Of course that emperor is agreeable to the will of the people, as for those ministers, they cannot be called traitors, they also resorted to such methods for the sake of the nation’s prosperity.”
Leng Qiyue nodded her head: “That’s right, Your Majesty. General An was actually just bewitched by the illusion, his method was the same as the Minister in chenqie’s story, so General An is a loyal subject, what is his crime?”
Dongfang Haotian extended a hand to help An Zhixuan up, and asked, “Does General An still have any questions?”
An Yi Xuan immediately shook his head. “No, no. This subject wholeheartedly accepts that.”
“Yes, since General An has come, I shall stay in the capital for a few more days. I’ve heard that both of his sons are prodigies, both of whom I would really like to meet.” Dongfang Haotian began his policy of roping his in.
As expected, when General An’s two sons were mentioned, a complacent look appeared on his old face. “This old official shall immediately send a message for them to enter the palace and serve the Emperor.” Actually, he had always been unwilling to let his son test his reputation so that he wouldn’t understand the current Emperor’s character. He was afraid that his two upright sons would die in vain. But now, he was relieved. The Emperor was an enlightened ruler, so he could let his children come out to gain some experience.
“Alright, you all go down first. In the next few days, Zhen will eliminate the remaining members of the empress dowager’s faction and eliminate any future troubles.” Afterwards, I will drink and chat happily with all of you! ” Dongfang Haotian was in a good mood.
“Yes, your subjects will take their leave.” The group of people left the Reclining Dragon Palace.
Han Liu said, “Empress, this servant will go back and change out of this outfit. I’m dead weight.”
Leng Qiyue looked left and right, then said with a smile: “It’s quite pretty. I told you that you were very beautiful, and that it would usually be a waste.”
Han Liu said in a coquettish tone, “Aiya, esteemed wangfei, don’t tease this servant. This servant will take his leave now.”
After Han Liu left, Leng Qiyue said to Dongfang Haotian: “Let’s see how good my plan is, we don’t have to be afraid of this anymore.”
Dongfang Haotian sat on the dragon’s table and wrote something. He was writing an imperial edict and had already written one and put it aside.
Leng Qiyue took it and read: “Xu Han and Liu, demoted to the rank of commoner.”
“Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?” Do you want to destroy the bridge after crossing the river? ” When Leng Qiyue saw those words, she instantly became infuriated.
Dongfang Haotian looked up and said in surprise, “What? Could it be that you want her to continue being the imperial concubine? ”
Leng Qiyue said: “Of course, could it be that you will abandon him after using him? If a woman’s chastity exceeds her life, how can you just abandon her? ”
Dongfang Haotian put down his brush, and said unhappily: “Are you really willing to share me with other women?”
Leng Qiyue clenched her teeth, and said: “Han Liu’s innocence is only giving it to you for me, I cannot destroy the bridge after crossing the river, even if … Even if we work together. ”
Seeing that Leng Qiyue did not care about how he felt, flames of anger burned in Dongfang Haotian’s heart, and she said: “Good, very good.
Leng Qiyue was also very stubborn. She thought that Dongfang Haotian was threatening her with his words, causing her anger to increase even more. She threw the imperial edict down and roared: “I won’t come and find you.” After saying that, he brought the child and left the Reclining Dragon Palace.
When Leng Qiyue returned to the Moonlight Palace, Han Liu was waiting in the room wearing her palace maid attire. Seeing her return, he took the Nian Rui from her hand and said, “These are the children of the Imperial Concubine Lin. How does the Empress plan to deal with them?”
Leng Qiyue was already filled with anger, but when she returned and saw Han Liu dressed in the palace maid’s uniform, she became even angrier, and said: “Why aren’t you improving? Was it that hard to be a imperial concubine? The emperor didn’t even say why would you be dressed like this? When outsiders saw this, they thought I was bullying you! ”
Han Liu was completely confused by the scolding, and said, “Esteemed Empress, didn’t we already say we would? After the performance is over, each of us will take up his or her duties! ”
Leng Qiyue pointed at Han Liu’s head and said: “You have already given your body to the Emperor, are you willing to be a palace maid?”
Han Liu’s face reddened as she rolled her eyes. “But this servant still hasn’t received the Empress’ sincere approval, so I don’t dare to continue being the imperial concubine!”
Leng Qiyue did not know if she was angry or not, but she suddenly squatted down and cried. This time, Liu Gan was panicking. He hurriedly asked, “Aiya, what’s wrong with the Empress?”
Leng Qiyue cried like a little child. Niu Jun could not bear to listen anymore, he hugged Nian Rui and said, “I’m so annoyed, I brought my little brother to my room.”
Han Liu nodded, then pulled Leng Qiyue up and sat him down, and asked: “What’s wrong with the Empress? What grievances have you suffered? ”
Leng Qiyue said flabbergasted: “Since the emperor wants to demean you as a commoner, if I don’t agree, he will quarrel with me. When I came back and saw you like this, I felt bad. You sacrificed your innocence for me. I can’t be selfish and monopolize the Emperor! “Although it was my plan, but after seeing all of you naked and hugging each other, I felt really sad in my heart. Right now, everything has been completed, and I can’t do anything about it. Right now, my mood is so complicated, what should I do …”
Han Liu was moved, but she found it funny. “Who said my innocence is ruined? Who said I was naked in the Emperor’s arms? “
