Chapter 41 My Sister Is Here
Emperor Wu stared at Si Nan with burning eyes. Not only Emperor Wu, but also all the civil and military officials focused their attention on him.
This old prime minister, a well-deserved minister in the court and the head of hundreds of officials, unexpectedly resigned.
You know, Si Nan has been running the court for many years, and no one can tell how powerful he is except himself.
Emperor Wu naturally knew that Si Nan could never really resign. The reason why he was doing this was just for show.
Moreover, with his influence in the court, Emperor Wu would not really do anything to him for a while.
The reason why he did not focus on Qinling was not because of his merit and loyalty, but because Emperor Wu did not want to focus on Sinan.
The heart of an emperor is as strong as gold and stone, and there is absolutely no mercy.
It's just that if Qin Ling is severely punished and Sinan is let go, it will not be justified both emotionally and rationally.
"The prime minister is the pillar of the country, and I am reluctant to let you retire and return home." Emperor Wu said, "I will treat this incident as an accident for the time being. You will continue to be the prime minister, but you will still be fined for one year as a punishment. ”
"Thank you, my lord." Si Nan lowered his head and shouted, "Long live the mountain." He had already made a bet that Emperor Wu could not touch him, and he had already been prepared for such a result.
The other officials also tacitly understood that although Sinan was still fined one year's salary, this punishment was equivalent to no punishment.
Will the prime minister still wait for his salary to live?
Some people also lamented Emperor Wu's method, which first used the power of thunder and then ended with gentle methods. Such a combination of grace and power showed the way of an emperor.
I believe that with this incident and the intimidation of Xuanyi Guard, no one will be stupid enough to place their own people in the Tiance Army in the future. If they are discovered again, the nine tribes will be killed.
As for the Queen, Emperor Wu didn't mention it, and naturally Si Nan wouldn't mention it himself, as if everyone maintained a very tacit understanding.
But everyone knew in their hearts that although the queen was fine for the time being, Han Luoling's rise was probably unstoppable.
Han Xu didn't know what happened in the court yet. After Lin Feng came back to deliver the news, he went to the Golden Knife Gate again.
He has just taken office and has many things to deal with. Just trying to unite people's hearts will require a lot of time and energy.
Simply relying on force to intimidate cannot truly win over people's hearts. Lin Feng still has a long way to go if he wants to secure his position as the leader of the sect and completely control this power.
In the yard, Han Xu lived a very carefree life. Qing'er played the piano on one side and Nishang fed him peeled fruits on the other side. Coupled with the rare warm sunshine in winter, life was very happy.
However, this leisurely time did not last long. Soon, there was a noise outside the door, as if a group of people were coming.
Qing'er and Nishang noticed it almost at the same time, stopped what they were doing, and became alert.
Han Xu was very satisfied with the quick response of the two of them. He was about to praise them when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
"Tiance's army is doing business, and anyone who has no interest in it should leave as soon as possible."
This voice was clearly the deputy commander Zhang Chi whom Han Xu had met.
Could it be?
Han Xu was wondering when a knock on the door sounded.
A eunuch said outside the door: "Concubine Ling is here!"
"It's really my sister!" Han Xu didn't expect that Lin Feng just said that his sister was still in the court. How could she be at his house just now?
Moreover, the rules of the harem are very strict, and it is not easy for the concubines to go out.
Qing'er and Nishang were also stunned. Neither of them expected that the legendary most beautiful woman in the world, Han Xu's sister, the newly conferred concubine of Emperor Wu, would meet so soon.
Whether it was the boss behind Xiaoxiang Pavilion or the third prince behind Wanhua Pavilion, their plan for Han Xu was nothing more than to establish a good relationship with the Ling Concubine.
But no one expected that Han Luoling would come out of the palace so quickly.
The shock on Han Xu's face quickly disappeared. No matter what, it was always good to see his sister.
He suddenly jumped up from the chair and ran out in three steps at a time. For a moment, Qing'er and Nishang didn't know whether they should follow him or not.
Han Xu quickly opened the door and saw Han Luoling, dressed in a golden robe, standing under the carriage outside the door.
Her hair was covered in black hair and tied into a bun, which added a bit of elegance and was so beautiful that it was dazzling.
"Han Xu meets Ling Fei." Han Xu said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, the soft hand held him.
Han Luoling chuckled and said, "Xiao Xuxu, you are doing this with your sister."
"Let's go in quickly." Han Luoling turned around and said to Zhang Chi, "Just wait outside, my brother and I have something to say."
"promise."
Zhang Chi waved his hand, and Tiance's army stood guard outside Han Xu's mansion, making it difficult for even a fly to fly in.
"Sister, you're doing well, even the Tiance Army came to protect you." Han Xu said jokingly.
"Wu Lie gave me the third team of Tiance Army, but he just said that he arranged for them to protect me." Han Luoling said, as if it was a trivial matter. You must know that today in the court, Emperor Wu still wanted to protect Tiance Army. The incident made hundreds of officials panic. The commander of Tiance's army almost died, and the prime minister almost resigned and returned home.
Tiance Army has never handed over to others, but now it directly handed over the entire team to Han Luoling. This is such a favor.
"Sister, what kind of magic potion did you give to Emperor Wu?" Han Xu couldn't help asking as soon as he closed the door. It's only been a few days, and even the Tiance Army is willing to give it to Han Luoling.
"What nonsense are you talking about." Han Luoling laughed, "Wu Lie is also worried that I will be in danger outside. After all, there has been a precedent for assassination before."
Han Xu remained silent, with an expression that said I know everything.
Seeing that his sister's family status is not bad, Han Xu is too happy to wait. As for whether these favors will be criticized, Han Xu doesn't care at all.
His power is gradually being established. If anyone dares to criticize Han Luoling in the future, he will be eliminated.
"Your servant Nishang."
"Your servant Qing'er."
"Greetings to Empress Lingfei."
Han Xu just finished teasing Han Luoling, and heard two crisp voices.
I saw Qing'er and Nishang kneeling in front, greeting Han Luoling.
"Who are these two?" Han Luoling had never seen the two women before, so he asked.
"Uh, they are my newly recruited maids." Han Xu muttered.
"Get up, don't be restrained." Han Luoling did not have the airs of a concubine, and her voice was very gentle.
Qing'er and Nishang stood up and raised their heads. What came into view was a beautiful face that did not look like a mortal woman. Even though they were both the most beautiful women in the royal city, they felt a little ashamed of themselves under the beauty of Han Luoling.
Han Luoling looked at the two of them carefully, showing a half-smile expression, which made Qing'er, who was thin-skinned, blush.
"Xiao Xuxu, you have a good eye."
"Sister, don't get me wrong, things are not what you think."
"What do I think?" Han Luoling asked back, choking Han Xu.
Seeing Han Xu's frustrated expression, Qing'er and Nishang wanted to laugh. They didn't expect that Han Xu, who was always eloquent, would also look like this.
It was a pity that there was really one thing that could defeat another in this world.
"As expected of my brother, he managed to get two courtesans in no time." Han Luoling said as he walked into the house, leaving Han Xu and the other two in shock.
"When did my sister know about this?"
