Chapter 61 My Dinner

The emperor looked at the gemstone in Concubine Jin's hand, picked up a cat's eye-like gemstone and looked at the light, turned to Lan Ling and said, "The quality is good, and you are very good at picking, but you have a heart!"

Among the emperor's concubines, Lan Ling was the youngest, and this Concubine Jin was also one year older than Lan Ling. These two looks of the same type, with delicate little faces and ghost-like appearances.

Seeing that the emperor was looking at them inquisitively, Lan Ling quickly stood up: "Chen and concubine don't disturb the emperor and concubine Jin!"

Without waiting for the emperor to say anything, Lan Ling quickly slipped out.

"Does Concubine Ling often go to Concubine Jin's palace?" the emperor asked Concubine Jin.

"Occasionally. Concubine Ling is sincere in her dealings with others, informal in details, and gets along well with ministers and concubines." Concubine Jin replied with her head down.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jin with a scrutiny. Concubine Jin treated him lukewarm, completely different from Lan Ling.

The emperor sat for a while, without much fun, got up and left.

Lan Ling is concentrating on researching the medicine brought back from Aunt Meng. The mysterious Aunt Meng intrigued her. Her limbs and muscles were completely broken, and she thought she was useless, but Aunt Meng cured her with a dose of medicine.

The injury on her face, even the master Yao Lin, couldn't make her recover so quickly.

And Aunt Meng knew that she had memories of her previous life, and she was a mysterious person. Unfortunately, Aunt Meng left soon. Lan Ling really wanted to find a chance to go to Qingyun Mountain again.

There is a big rooster in the offering garden on the right side of Changxin Palace, and it keeps barking every day, which is disturbing to hear. The things that were raised in the garden belonged to the queen mother.

In addition to this, the Changxin Palace has a quiet environment and is usually not disturbed by outsiders, so life is quite leisurely.

On the second day of the emperor's return to the palace, he introduced Huo Jingyun and Bai Shaoting to the ministers.

He proposed to make Huo Jingyun the grand marshal of Daxingguo, and Bai Shaoting to be the auxiliary minister, both of which are of the second grade.

However, it was strongly opposed by Guan Shichang, the Marquis of the Northwest, and Liu Jun, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The Marquis of Northwest China listed first: "Your Majesty, in the early days of the establishment of the new regime, I thought that the officers and men who had made great contributions should be employed vigorously, instead of digging some so-called gang leaders from elsewhere. "

Liu Jun came out immediately, "Your Majesty, this minister believes that what the Northwest Marquis said is very true. At this time, the court should reward and promote all supporters to appease people's hearts!"

Northwest Hou and Liu Jun's respective supporters followed suit.

Huo Jingyun and Bai Shaoting saw the situation in the court and understood why the emperor was so anxious to let them enter the court.

At this time, above the court and under the new regime, everyone is developing their own power.

For the sake of political stability, Emperor Lingchen had not changed much except to uproot several of King Ning's direct descendants.

Guan Shichang, the Marquis of the Northwest, and Liu Jun, the minister of households, have a rare unity at present. They have made contributions to the emperor's road to success. Their daughter is the emperor's queen and favorite concubine, and her status in the court is naturally unmatched.

Concubine Jin's father, Fang Yong, was a member of the Queen Mother.

The emperor himself does not have many people.

After listening to their speeches, the emperor smiled slightly: "Everyone Aiqing is right, but we have arranged to promote a large number of internal people in the early stage. And these two are not the leaders of any gang, they are all heroes of Daxingguo! "

Seeing the ministers whispering, the emperor pointed to Huo Jingyun.

"Huo Jingyun, the former head of the Ziyi Hall of the Qingyi Hall, was surrounded by Beiyi and Qingzhou Luancheng rebels of 150,000 for half a month when I was driving the Beiyi foreign enemies. King Intercept!

Seeing that the ammunition and food were exhausted, Huo Jingyun used 3,000 men and 1,000 sheep to successfully clear the siege, and assisted me in recovering Qingzhou and Luancheng! "

Seeing that the ministers were quiet, the emperor continued: "Without him, it's hard to say whether I can come back alive to be this emperor!

The position of Grand Marshal is different from other positions. You can't just consider promotion from within or other relationships. This position is to be filled with life, and it requires someone with real courage and strategy. Therefore, the position of Grand Marshal is not Huo Jingyun. None! "

"Bai Shaoting, the great-grandson of the former god of war, Bai Wushuang, knows astronomy and geography, is proficient in formations, knows the suffering of the people, has an excellent reputation among the people, and has often innovated political opinions. He saved my life in this rebellion against Chu Liang. , I now urgently need a person with lofty ideals who has not been immersed in officialdom to bring fresh blood!"

"Therefore, I appointed Huo Jingyun as the Grand Marshal of Daxingguo today, and Bai Shaoting as the auxiliary minister. Do you have any objections?"

The emperor was full of emotion, and the minister who said it was speechless.

Guan Shichang and Liu Jun looked at each other and looked at the emperor's resolute and stern face, unable to hold on any longer.

Originally, they had already arranged candidates.

After withdrawing from the dynasty, the emperor felt very depressed, and he appointed officials also depending on their faces! The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he walked slowly with a cold face.

Followed by Yang Shu, Tian Ming, Gu Fan and Yang Shuo, a few people dared not breathe, for fear that they might accidentally offend the Lord of Hell.

In the weather in early March, from a distance, you can see a trace of grass green, and the spring flowers are already in bloom. One by one lying in the grass, it is very enchanting.

A little eunuch ran over behind him: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite the Emperor to have dinner."

"I still have business to do, don't go! Get out!" His voice was extremely annoyed.

The little eunuch ran away in fright. Yang Shu stuck out his tongue. He was worried about how to arrange the emperor's dinner.

The emperor walked and unknowingly came to the remote Changxin Palace. The emperor did not enter, but stood at the door of Changxin Palace.

There were bursts of laughter from the Changxin Palace, "Little noble son, what's the difference between you and a pig!"

Ling Fei's voice.

"Your Majesty, do you want to notify Concubine Ling to pick you up?" Yang Shu asked softly.

Before waiting for the emperor to answer, the door opened, and a little eunuch ran out holding his head. Seeing the emperor standing at the door, his legs softened and he fell to his knees!

It was Concubine Ling who chased out with a water scoop behind her. She poured a scoop of water and poured it on the emperor steadily without wasting anything.

"You, why are you standing at the door!" Lan Ling was startled, as if it was the emperor who did the wrong thing.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame me. You stood at the door to scare us. Could it be that the Emperor was eavesdropping?"

"Bold!" The emperor said, but he was not angry.

Lan Ling yelled directly at you and me, and didn't treat the emperor like an emperor at all.

Yang Shu waved his hand to Lan Ling in fear, thinking that the emperor is in a bad mood, and the concubine Ling is too unlucky......

The emperor didn't get angry, he even raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Concubine Ling, what are you doing? The wounds on your hands and feet don't hurt anymore?"

Lan Ling rolled up his sleeves, his little face was like a tabby cat, and his nose was all black and gray. Wearing a blue dress, the skirt is already wet. She had her left hand on her hips and a water ladle in her right hand.

"Your Majesty, your clothes are all wet, you should go back and change your clothes first," Lan Ling didn't answer the emperor's words directly. She blocked the door and didn't seem to want the emperor to enter.

The emperor looked at Lan Ling up and down, "It seems that my concubine Ling is doing some strange things," he said, bent over and hugged her, and entered the yard.

Lan Ling struggled, but it was useless, so he calmed down.

"It seems that your hands and feet are good! You are actually doing such work!" The emperor asked again.

"It's much better. Although I still don't have the strength, it doesn't prevent me from doing anything! Your Majesty, do you think that Aunt Meng is an immortal?"

"I also think she is an immortal." Ling Chen said with a smile.

The courtyard of Changxin Palace was filled with smoke, and the two girls knelt there side by side, each holding a washbasin in their hands.

"Lixia Qiaochun, remove the washbasin!" The emperor put down Lan Ling, his majestic voice could not hear the temperature.

With bitter faces, the two girls slowly removed the washbasin, and a white smoke came out.

"Bold Concubine Ling, I actually saw an open fire in the yard! Say, what is burning below?" The emperor's eyes stood up.

The girl and the eunuch shivered with fear, Lan Ling went straight over, opened the gray hole, and took out a black thing from it.

"Your Majesty, try it, it's delicious." Lan Ling didn't say what it was, just tore a small piece of meat from the ground and handed it to the Emperor.

"Concubine Ling, you can't give the emperor something unclean!" Yang Shu covered her nose.

The emperor looked at it, took it and chewed it in his mouth, "Well, it's very fragrant, what is it?"

"chicken!"

"Where did you get it from?"

“………….”

"Why don't you speak?"

"This is for the garden." Lan Ling suddenly approached the emperor and whispered. She wanted to lie, but she couldn't make up a reason, so she had to tell the truth.

"For the garden? You stole it?" The emperor asked Lan Ling, looking at Lan Ling's expression.

Lan Ling looked at the emperor in astonishment, "This emperor also knows? You eat the emperor too! You also have a share!"

"Lan Ling, do you know that you are my concubine? How can you do such a rude thing?" The emperor said, but his eyes were shining.

"It's so unpleasant to say, this chicken is so noisy, I can't sleep well every day because of the noise, there's nothing I can do... The emperor said it's delicious, right?" Lan Ling stuffed another piece of meat for him.

"Well, the taste is really good. I have dinner at Changxin Palace." The emperor turned around and said to Yang Shu.

Yang Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
