Chapter 1206 Recommendation (Fifth Watch)

Leng Jinghua and Lu Yurong stood up at the same time.

"What?!" Leng Jinghua cried out.

The guard in green shirt said in a low voice, "It's the news from the Forbidden Palace just now."

"Impossible!" Leng Jinghua slammed the stone table and shouted in a deep voice, "It can't be him!"

Lu Yurong's face gradually calmed down, and she whispered, "Are you sure it's him?"

"Not yet." The green shirt guard whispered: "It is the emperor who is hesitating and has this idea."

"Well, I see, let's go." Lu Yurong waved her hands.

The guard in the blue shirt quietly exited the small pavilion, left the back garden, and disappeared.

Lu Yurong looked at the furious Leng Jinghua, and said softly, "Uncle, don't worry, the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet."

"Father, what does this mean?" Leng Jinghua took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and hummed: "Who doesn't know that Chu Li's heart is for King Ping, but Father wants to use him as the leader of the Secret Guard Mansion. What are you doing!"

Lu Yurong frowned, a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, the emperor would not use balancing power on the prince, because it was unnecessary. As a god, he would not be afraid that the prince would make him stand up, and it only lasted ten years.

In the beginning, Chu Li offended the emperor in order to defend King Ping, and was dispatched to the imperial mausoleum. He almost couldn't come back. Everyone knew that Chu Li belonged to King Ping.

The news coming out of the palace will not be false, if you are not fully sure, this news will not be spread.

She pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Uncle, the emperor may be testing Chu Li."

"What are you doing to test Chu Li!" Leng Jinghua frowned and said, "Father, why do you need to test!"

Lu Yurong said: "Who can guess the emperor's thoughts accurately, but no matter how you say it, it will not be possible for Chu Li to take over the Secret Guard Mansion."

Now that she is awake, she has suppressed worrying about gains and losses.

Chu Li is not considered the emperor's confidant at all. Even if the emperor is a master of the gods, no matter how fearless he is, he will not let Chu Li take charge of the Secret Guard Mansion. This is equivalent to making the Secret Guard Mansion lose its ability to see and hear.

Leng Jinghua sighed: "The last time I was assigned to the imperial mausoleum, my father punished me too much, and I was ashamed of my fourth brother. This time, I may not use this to make up for it. No, I have to go to the palace to see my father!"

Lu Yurong shook her head and smiled, "If my uncle enters the palace, I'm afraid there is really no hope."

"...Then just watch like this?" Leng Jinghua said unwillingly.

Lu Yurong nodded: "I'm afraid the emperor also wants to see Chu Li's roots."

"I want to see it too!" Leng Jinghua snorted.

——

At noon, the news spread that Chu Li was going to take over the Secret Guard Mansion, and everyone knew about it.

Then people also know the specific situation. It is said that Princess An personally went to the palace to face the saint, and stated the benefits of Chu Li taking over the Secret Guard Mansion. He is talented and fair, and everyone admires him. The gloomy air became majestic, forming an effective deterrent.

After the emperor heard it, he thought it was reasonable, and said that he had to consider one or two, which could be used as an alternative, and then he would consider other candidates and make another decision.

But people feel that among all the people, Chu Li is the most sure to get the position of leader. One is that he was the centurion of the Secret Guard Mansion before, and he is familiar with the way, and the other is that he has outstanding talents that no one can match.

The rest of the people have not been tested and cannot be determined to be more suitable than him.

So people confidently said that Chu Li will become the new commander of the Secret Guard Mansion.

Chu Li was not in Shendu, but in the early morning of the next day, Chu Li hurried back from Yiguo Duke's Mansion and went directly to the palace to meet the saint.

Forbidden Palace Chongwen Hall

The breath in the early morning was exceptionally cold, it was already winter time, the Chongwen Hall was extremely empty, but warm, as soon as you stepped in, you were enveloped in heat, and you wished you could take off all your clothes.

The emperor, Leng Wufeng, was sitting behind the dragon case, wearing a bright yellow single shirt, and was sizing up Chu Li carefully.

He was thin and short, and looked like an ordinary rich man, without a hint of sternness, and he didn't look like a master. Only Chu Li had experienced how terrifying his appearance as a god master was.

Chu Li came in with a burst of cold air, and clasped his fists: "I have seen the emperor."

"Come back in such a hurry, did you hear the news?" Leng Wufeng put down the memorial and said lazily.

Chu Li said: "Yes."

"how?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I can't take the position of commander." Chu Li shook his head.

"Oh—?" Leng Wufeng snorted softly: "Princess An has praised you to the sky."

Chu Li said: "The princess has good intentions. She feels that Prince An's mansion has no support and needs to have enough official positions to support it and not be bullied."

"Well, I understand." Leng Wufeng said lightly: "So I didn't say much, although she doesn't have martial arts, but she is very knowledgeable, what she said is indeed reasonable, leaving me speechless!"

He is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, she is far-sighted, extremely intelligent, powerful in means but acts in a dignified manner, which is definitely beyond the reach of other princesses, not only deeply loved by the queen, but also by him.

It's a pity that King An's fate is poor and he died young, otherwise he would be another good wife.

After she entered the palace, she met her face-to-face, analyzed one by one, taking into account both public and private interests, leaving people speechless. He had no way to refute or veto him, so he could only procrastinate. thoughts.

Chu Li said: "Even though there are all kinds of reasons, I still can't take over the Secret Guard Mansion."

"It's good that you understand." Leng Wufeng nodded.

He was quite satisfied, this Chu Li also knew how to advance and retreat.

Chu Lidao: "In the eyes of the emperor and all the courtiers, I am a member of King Ping. If I take over the Secret Guard Mansion and put His Royal Highness in shame, everyone will also doubt the emperor's attitude towards His Royal Highness."

Leng Wufeng nodded slowly.

Chu Li said: "In this case, I would like to recommend someone."

"Who?" Leng Wufeng asked.

"Lu Yurong." Chu Li said: "The eldest lady of Ren Guogong's mansion is loyal and talented. She will never give up to a woman. She and I are considered opponents. We have fought countless rounds, and we are tied."

"It's rare for you to think of her." Leng Wufeng shook his head and said, "But she is a woman after all."

"Her methods are more powerful than men." Chu Li chuckled: "If everyone thinks this way and despises her, Lu Yurong will soon let them know how wrong she is!"

"If she takes over the Secret Guard Mansion, wouldn't it make Da Li laugh that I have no one!" Leng Wufeng said.

Chu Li said: "Da Li's bright saints are even more powerful, and they are also women. Let them fight and see if they can tell the difference."

"Haha, interesting!" Leng Wufeng laughed loudly.

He suddenly felt that Chu Li's recommendation was uneasy and well-intentioned. Women know women best, and no matter how powerful a man is, he can't think of what women will do. In this way, if we want to deal with the Guangming Sacred Cult, we really need a very smart woman!

Chu Li said: "What's more, the person His Royal Highness is most assured of is her. Besides, His Royal Highness will inevitably think too much."

"Hmph." Leng Wufeng snorted.

Chu Li smiled and said: "As for me, the grassroots in the wild country, the wild cranes in the clouds, I really can't bear restraint."

"Well, okay, let Lu Yurong come." Leng Wufeng said with a smile: "She wants to accept your favor."

Chu Li said: "I have a personal enmity with her, and recommending her is purely public."

"It's rare for you to be so public." Leng Wufeng nodded slowly.

He looked at Chu Li and sighed secretly. It's a pity that his friendship with King Ping doomed him to be unable to do anything in the court and spend his life in a mediocre life.
