Chapter 236: Outrageous
Wen Jin smiled faintly: "I am just making suggestions to His Majesty for the time being, but if such a decision is really made, King Suzaku will have to obey it, otherwise he will be disobeying the decree."
Lu Ming sneered: "Are you resisting Yizhi?"
"You can say that." Wen Jin nodded calmly, "Yizhi."
Lu Ming took a deep breath. This man's skin was really thicker than the city wall.
After marrying His Majesty, I became a lot more courageous. Is it because I have His Majesty's support? Sure enough, he was born to be a freeloader.
Lu Ming felt aggrieved, why couldn't he just eat soft rice?
"There is a difference between the king and his ministers. The Suzaku King plucked the hair from another tiger's head." Mu Han finally couldn't bear to listen and always felt that Lu Ming was asking for trouble. "First of all, no one has a high status, and secondly, you are not the emperor's wife." Your Lord's opponent."
Lu Ming sneered: "If I have the opportunity to be by His Majesty's side every day, act coquettishly, behave well, and use beauty traps, I might be the one who becomes the emperor's wife now."
Yan Qing was about to take a step forward when he heard the words and stopped slowly, turning to look at him and looking him up and down: "Lu Ming."
Lu Ming felt uncomfortable when she saw him, and felt a little guilty for no reason: "Does your Majesty agree with what I said?"
"I agree." Yan Qing raised her hand and patted his face, "Let me see it like a baby."
Lu Ming was confused: "Coquettishly?" In front of so many people?
Yan Qing nodded: "Aren't you good at it?"
Wen Jin, Mu Han, Ye Jinglan, and Chu Yanling all looked at him in unison. Except for Wen Jin, who was calm, the other three looked like they were watching the show, with stern eyes, as if to say: What are you doing? The opportunity has come, let us see the Suzaku King's coquettish skills.
Lu Ming frowned and coughed lightly. After a while, he coughed again: "Your Majesty."
Yan Qing hummed: "Don't feel embarrassed, no one will laugh at you."
Wen Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "I think it's okay too. King Suzaku doesn't have to worry about me being jealous. Let's give it a try."
Give it a try.
Do you really think anyone is as shameless as Wen Jin?
Lu Ming wiped his face: "I am a seven-foot-tall man with a strong iron frame. I can't behave like a girl. I am no match for the royal wife. Is it alright if I submit to you?"
"So don't say things that make people misunderstand easily in the future." Yan Qing said calmly, "You have never had a relationship with me from the beginning to the end, you just admire me. If I ask Wen Jin to act like a baby, he will never hesitate."
Lu Ming immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick: "Then your Majesty, let him act like a coquettish girl, so that we can see what he is doing."
"It's a beautiful thought." Yan Qing refused unceremoniously, "Only I can see the gentle and lovely side of Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine. No one else has this honor."
After saying that, he stepped out of the threshold and led several people towards Jiuhua Palace.
Wen Jin smiled happily and quietly held Yan Qing's hand, as if he was afraid that the people behind him wouldn't see their love.
Yan Qing and Wen Jin were in front, and the other four were one step behind. Although they were monarchs and ministers, they were invisibly closer to each other than ordinary monarchs and ministers, and there was less of a strict distance between them.
However, Lu Ming had no intention of thinking about the superiority of the monarch and his ministers at this time. He kept staring at the hands of Yan Qing and Wen Jin, and couldn't help but think about how blatant it was in the palace. A deliberate declaration of sovereignty, right?
There are really no rules at all, you dare to do this in broad daylight.
Shouldn't the palace be a little more reserved? How can I bewitch His Majesty like a concubine?
outrageous.
Lu Ming just walked and thought about it, and didn't come back to his senses until he arrived at Jiuhua Palace. The palace servants have prepared a table of meals, which are sumptuous and exquisite, with all colors, flavors and tastes.
"Let's make do tonight." Yan Qing cleaned her hands in the basin brought by the palace maid. After another palace maid wiped them, she turned and walked to the main seat of the dining table and sat down, "The newly established prince of Chu State, Ji Weiyu, is here. I will come over in the next two days and I will host a banquet for you."
"Ji Weiyu became the crown prince?" Lu Ming frowned, "Didn't he say he didn't want to be the emperor?"
"At one moment or another, he changed his mind."
Mu Han frowned in confusion: "Ji Weiyu... the divine son of Chu?"
"That's him."
"Can the Son of God also compete for the throne?"
"Normally, it's not possible. The people who serve the gods can only give suggestions on the matter of establishing a prince, but they cannot make decisions for them, let alone compete for that position themselves." Wen Jin spoke calmly, and sat down at the table. He picked up the chopsticks and gave Yan Qingbu some food first, "But there are exceptions to everything."
"Ji Weiyu knows His Majesty?" Ye Jinglan suddenly thought of something, "I remember that Your Majesty seemed to have been to Chu State before."
"This divine son of Chu is also one of His Majesty's followers. The reason for fighting for the throne is to devote the power of the country to obey His Majesty's orders." Lu Ming said calmly, "So you must be obedient in the future, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences."
King Suzaku, one of the four feudal kings, openly threatened the other three feudal kings at the dining table given by His Majesty. Looking at history, I am afraid that this is the only time and only this person.
I really don’t know what to say.
Not to mention Mu Han and Chu Yanling were speechless for a while, even Ye Jinglan, the "Puppet Xuanwu King" who was known as the least powerful one, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Shouldn't the four Tibetan kings be on the same front? Suzaku Why did the king rebel first?"
"Who is on the same side as you?" Lu Ming retorted and began to express his loyalty on the spot, "I am standing on His Majesty's side. Whoever is your Majesty's enemy, I will be my enemy."
"We are all on the same side with your majesty. Your majesty is the emperor of Dayong, and we are the vassal kings of Dayong. We are all here to protect the territory of Dayong and its people." Chu Yanling sat at the table, his expression solemn and his tone serious, "No one will be an enemy of your majesty, otherwise it would be treason."
True and false, false and true, although Lu Ming and Ye Jinglan said these words in a relaxed and joking tone, as vassal kings, joking is one thing, and declaring allegiance is another.
Although they had clearly stated that they would support and be loyal to Yan Qing before she ascended the throne, such behavior was indeed considered treason for the Yan Chen people who had not yet abdicated.
People with a criminal record must show more convincing sincerity to make the king believe in their loyalty.
"I have always believed that the quality of soldiers is more important than the number." Mu Han glanced at Yan Qing, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the treasury is not yet sufficient. I am willing to reduce the size of the army in the Qinglong King's fiefdom and pay the saved military pay into the treasury as taxes."
"Reduce the number of troops?" Yan Qing smiled faintly, "How much does the Qinglong King plan to reduce?"
"My sister and the regent have also discussed this matter." Ye Jinglan said, "It is enough to have 60,000 elite soldiers in each of the four fiefdoms. These 60,000 soldiers should be trained as the elite of the elite to guard the fiefdom and resist foreign enemies. The rest of the city guards should strengthen their physical fitness on weekdays so that they can play a role at critical moments."
