Chapter 314: Retreat to Advance

After becoming the crown prince, His Majesty the Emperor, who was already in poor health, completely entered a state of abdication and recuperation. Early the next morning, he ordered people to send all important memorials to the East Palace. Although this move was strongly opposed by the ministers, they opposed it. The reason is that "Princess Feng has not yet been exposed to government affairs, so she is afraid that she will not be able to supervise the country's governance."

But His Majesty the Emperor shut them all back with just one sentence: "Isn't there a regent here? Who else in the court is more suitable to teach Princess Feng how to supervise the country and govern the country?"

The ministers were immediately speechless.

Regent?

But that was the regent of Zhou Dynasty, not the regent of Dongling. Could it be that the emperor had already approved the result that an outsider was in charge of Dongling?

Based on the current situation, the regent who is married to Princess Feng is indeed the most suitable candidate. Moreover, the regent has been in charge of the government since the Zhou Dynasty and has led troops to fight. He is very experienced and can deal with major government affairs. It shouldn't be difficult to get him, but they were still worried.

Everyone knows what they are worried about.

Of course His Majesty the Emperor knows it in his heart.

However, after chatting with the high priest for a while yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor decided to completely let go and let nature take its course, allowing Princess Feng and the Prince Regent to be the masters of the world.

Therefore, he no longer wants to pay attention to the opinions of ministers. When it comes to power and interests, there will always be people who are satisfied and people who will always be dissatisfied. No one can be perfect.

The high priest promised that Princess Feng and the regent would bring a prosperous Qingming era to Dongling. His Majesty the Emperor believed in his guarantee and nothing else mattered.

The East Palace has been quiet for several days, unusually quiet.

Apart from three meals a day and tea, the palace people almost never set foot in the inner palace. They didn't know what Princess Feng and the regent said or did in the palace, and they didn't dare to go in unless there was Silver Moon beside Princess Feng. Call.

Of course, Yin Yue is far away from the inner palace, but she has good ears. If the master has any instructions, she and Yin Shuang can hear them just by whispering.

Beside the rosewood writing desk, Rong Yu skillfully ground the ink, placed the opened book in front of Nan Xi, and taught her step by step how to review the memorial, how to reply to the ministers, and how to classify the priorities of things.

It's not difficult to have Rong Yu provide guidance on important matters of family and country. Moreover, Rong Yu won't let her read the details for too long. Nan Xi only sees half of the government affairs, and Rong Yu is responsible for solving the other half.

After all the memorials were read, dozens of memorials had been thrown on the palace tile floor next to the rosewood desk. Nan Xi picked them up curiously and looked at them. Most of them asked for instructions on when the husband selection banquet would be held.

And one of them even prepared a selection of royal wives. Chu Xuanyi was one of them, and there was also a young master named Chen Hanyu, whose family was unknown.

"Isn't Chu Xuanyi the legitimate son of the Chu family?" Nan Xi frowned slightly, "With his status, he should inherit the family business. If he really enters the palace and becomes the empress, who will inherit the Chu family's bloodline and family business? Inherit?”

Rong Yu said in a calm voice: "The Chu family does not need a heir."

Well?

Nan Xi turned to look at him in shock.

Rong Yu pursed his lips: "I don't mean to let him enter the palace, but to send him to the border to build the city."

Nan Xi: "..." Is this an unforeseen disaster?

However, Nan Xi nodded quickly and agreed with what he said: "It's okay to send Chu Xuanyi to the border as a supervisor. He is so gentle and handsome. He should be able to change the bad habits of other supervisors who are violent, vicious and like to use whips."

She said it so seriously that Rong Yu was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said: "The Chu family has a general named Chu Hongyi who can be reused. Chu Xuanyi can be dried first, but he is only sent to the border to do the work." Supervisor... This is not necessary. "

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Rong Yu looked at her dissatisfied.

The girl in front of him had a smile as bright as a flower, and her bright eyes shone with a luster that made him throb. Rong Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Nan Xi into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips: "You did it on purpose."

Nan Xi smiled innocently: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Use retreat to advance.

Even before she ascended the throne, she already knew that this trick worked. Rong Yu thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. His Majesty the Queen was born to be an emperor. Few women can match her intelligence. .

"I think we can have a husband-choosing banquet."

Rong Yu's expression froze, and he stared silently at Nan Xi's smiling black eyes. He suppressed the sour jealousy in his heart and curled his lips slightly: "What are you planning?"

Nan Xi smiled slightly: "Guess."

After asking, Rong Yu didn't have to guess at all.

He knew that Nan Xi's intention to hold a husband selection banquet was definitely not to choose a husband, but to get to know more people.

In just a few days after arriving at Dongling from Dazhou, she became the crown prince, and a month later she was to become the queen. However, she knew very few of the descendants of the Imperial City, the civil and military ministers in the court, and the noble ladies of the imperial capital.

You can get to know more people by hosting a party.

"The point is not to choose a husband, but to understand the character of the children of those aristocratic families." Rong Yu said calmly, "But since choosing a husband is the reason, there should naturally be a standard."

"What standard?"

"Take me as the standard." Rong Yu said in a calm tone, "Become better than me in appearance, better than me in talent, and better than me in martial arts."

Nan Xi didn't speak for a while.

Not to mention that she had no idea of ​​choosing a husband at all. Even if she had, with his strict standards, she would never be able to choose one who met the conditions.

Although there is no first place in literature, there is no second place in martial arts.

Everyone's aesthetic taste in appearance is different.

But anyone with eyes would have to admit that it was really hard for anyone to surpass Rong Yu's exquisite and handsome appearance.

Moreover, everyone knew that he was a powerful martial artist. Even if someone had never heard of his title of God of War before, they should have heard of it after the exchange with the Prince of Huainan on the parade ground a few days ago. If there were any noble family members who really wanted to enter the palace, they would have to think carefully about whether their weak body could withstand the military stick.

"What?" Rong Yu said in a faint voice, "Do you think this is inappropriate?"

Nan Xi shook her head: "Yes, it's very appropriate."

Did she dare to say it was inappropriate?

It was not easy to pull out a thorn in this person's heart. If she said something wrong and caused his narrow-minded misunderstanding, she would not be able to clear it even if she jumped into the moat.

Nan Xi thought secretly, this person was still cautious and fearful two days ago, but since she said that she would not care about the past with him, he seemed to start climbing up the ladder and became more and more petty?

Wasn't he the one who coaxed her before? Why is it the other way around now, and it's her turn to take care of his emotions all the time?

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Yu held her in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips. "When I'm here, don't think about other things. You can only think about me."
