Chapter 447: Plans Are Not as Fast as Changes

As for those small countries, except for the fact that they played a role in borrowing the terrain in the middle, the others can be completely ignored.

So even if the so-called prophecy really aroused the ambitions of various countries, Dongling was not without the ability to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Xie couldn't help but think of what the Regent King discussed in the Imperial Study on the morning of the second day of the New Year. Several generals were assigned tasks. Although Chu Hongyi was inconvenient to take care of her pregnancy, she had learned about the generals of various countries in recent years and had done a lot of research on the border terrain.

Although she couldn't personally use the military strategy, she could give others some more reliable advice.

And that night Rong Yu summoned Xie Jin and Mo Ling'an again - the Prime Minister later asked his son specifically, and Xie Jin only said that Dongling was about to usher in some turmoil, but the Regent King had a way to deal with it.

He didn't say much about the rest.

The Prime Minister didn't ask any more questions.

After all, even if they were father and son, some things had to be done according to the rules, and things that shouldn't be revealed had to be kept secret.

But now I think about it, Rong Yu obviously knew about this matter a long time ago and made careful arrangements in advance.

"The Prime Minister's suggestion is good." Another minister agreed, "The Prince of Beijiang is still in our hands. I don't believe that they really don't care about the life and death of the prince and are determined to marry my Dongling Queen at the risk of the world's disapproval."

"That's right! Dongling has a regent, why should we be afraid of Nanyue and Beijiang?"

"The regent is a generation of war god, and Nanyue and Beijiang combined are not the regent's opponents."

"That's right, Dongling has the emperor's husband regent, and the wolf ambitions of Nanyue and Beijiang will never succeed!"

I don't know who started it first. The original angry conflict suddenly turned into flattery of the regent. Nan Xi, who was sitting on the throne, had a subtle expression. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but she was worried about damaging the queen's majesty, so she just turned her head and looked at Rong Yu silently.

Rong Yu pinched her soft palm, indicating that she should be patient and let the ministers speak freely first.

The time for the morning court meeting was not very long, usually it was over in an hour or so. After the court meeting, the king would go to the imperial study to review memorials and discuss state affairs with trusted ministers.

The court meeting would be extended to two to three hours only when encountering special events, but this situation was relatively rare, because even if there was an emergency, they could go to the imperial study to discuss and make decisions after the court meeting.

If the ministers of different factions argued endlessly and expressed their own opinions, they could temporarily adjourn the court meeting and discuss it another day.

However, it was rare for the regent to remain silent throughout the whole meeting and let the ministers speak. However, with the support of the prime minister and the chief assistant, the ministers in the palace seemed to be full of momentum and were not frightened by the forced marriage of various countries.

After the ministers praised and flattered him enthusiastically, they suddenly found that the regent had not said a word from beginning to end, just sitting silently on the throne, with an expression that looked particularly unfathomable, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking - anyway, no one could usually guess what the regent was thinking.

However, the fact is that the matter of Nanyue and Beijiang forcing the marriage was discussed by the ministers for more than half an hour. Some of them gave advice, and some were indignant. The whole court was like a vegetable market, so that the ministers forgot the advice, speeches and advice to the emperor to choose a husband on the first day of the new year.

"Your Majesty, Regent." The Prime Minister bowed and saluted, "I don't know how to deal with the matter of Nanyue and Beijiang?"

Nan Xi looked indifferent: "It's just bluffing, don't pay attention to it."

Bluffing?

Prime Minister Lu was stunned and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Didn't Her Majesty say that because of the prophecy of "whoever gets the Queen of Dongling will get the world", Nanyue and Beijiang used tough means to marry the Queen of Dongling?

Why is it a bluff now?

"Dongling has a strong military force and is not afraid of any country's invasion." Rong Yu said indifferently, "If Nanyue dares to come, be prepared for casualties; if Beijiang dares to come, let their crown prince and the sixth prince be buried in Dongling at the same time."

In short, whoever dares to provoke will never be able to return intact.

The ministers were startled and knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! The Regent is mighty!"

Rong Yu had no reaction to this. He calmly scanned the ministers in the hall and said in a faint voice: "Are there any other things to report?"

On the first day of the court, there are of course many things to report.

For example, the most important thing is the selection of a husband by the empress.

The ministers have already discussed it. Someone started it, and then others echoed it. They must let Her Majesty fill the harem. If it doesn't work today, it will be tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, it will be next month. In short, the empress will definitely give an attitude when she is annoyed.

However, plans are not as fast as changes. No matter how good their wishful thinking is, who dares to bring up this topic at this time?

Seeking death.

For example, regarding the former grandson of the emperor being imprisoned, since Her Majesty the Queen has granted marriage to Xuanyuan Yan and Miss Fang, it is better to give a small punishment and let the former grandson of the emperor go back, so that the King of Wei and his family can be reunited. After all, Miss Fang cannot be left as a widow after suffering such a serious crime, right?

However, who dares to speak up at this time?

Even if they are not seeking death, their courage has been suppressed by the majesty of the Regent. The ministers have been holding back for a long time and no one dares to speak out.

There are also several censors who are said to be upright and incorruptible, and they have even prepared several manuscripts, all of which are impeachments against Xie Jin, the son of Prime Minister Xie, saying that he is disrespectful to the King of Wei, committing crimes, and that he is not doing his job in the brothels, and that he is a homosexual and has improper behavior...

In short, all of Xie Jin's unruly behavior in recent days has been recorded in the small notebooks by the censors, who are ready to impeach him and let Her Majesty know their righteous demeanor.

However, the censors also held their breath at this time, and kept the virtue of silence.

For example, the investigation of the case by the Minister of Justice...

"If there is nothing to report, the court will be adjourned." Rong Yu stood up, his voice indifferent and calm, "If there is a report to be submitted, send it to the Imperial Study, and Her Majesty will deal with it when she has time."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hold Nan Xi who stood up, and the couple turned around and left together.

A thunderous voice soon sounded behind him: "Farewell to Her Majesty the Queen, farewell to the Regent!"

When the Queen and the Regent completely disappeared from sight, the ministers realized belatedly, "What was discussed at the morning court today?"

"Nothing was discussed yet, and they discussed the provocation of two countries for marriage."

"But Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent didn't seem to have given any countermeasures."

Prime Minister Xie stood up and slowly adjusted his robes: "The court has been adjourned, and you gentlemen still have to kneel here? Isn't the ground cold?"

"Prime Minister." Prime Minister Lu came over and spoke in a low voice, "You gentlemen have put all your energy into today's morning court. You thought you could be passionate and leave an impression in front of Her Majesty, but you didn't expect that it was disrupted by the invasion of South Vietnam and North Xinjiang. They haven't recovered yet."
