The queen is alluring

Chapter 297

The layout here is even simpler. There are bright yellow gauze curtains hanging around, and golden hooks with dragon and phoenix. On it, the longan is blue, and the phoenix is ​​red. The gemstones complement each other and shine.On both sides of the study room, there are golden yellow beeswax curtains hanging, which are dense and noble, and behind the curtains are two rows of ebony bookcases, on which piles of books are placed.

Yun Qing glanced at a row of thick gray leather books on the bookcase, glanced at a 'Historical Records' and 'Emperor's Biographies', then walked to the side booklet, helped Ling Yexuan to sit down, while she sat down Sitting on the phoenix chair that Eunuch Zhao specially ordered three or five soldiers to carry.

In fact, it is not difficult to review the memorials. Disasters and emergencies in various places have been reported by officials at all levels, and a preliminary plan has been revised and submitted to the emperor. It is just to ask for instructions to see if this plan is feasible.Leng Zhong also took up the post of prime minister, so many things were dealt with by him and then played, which can relieve a lot of energy.

Although Ling Yexuan had a great fear of the Leng clan, after he became the throne, he did not embarrass Leng Zhong much in the government, because as a veteran minister, Leng Zhong did have certain resourcefulness and strategies, and the country of Xuan Ye was stable. , his credit is indispensable, but unfortunately, this old courtier who almost lost his life back then is now full of hair, old and vicissitudes of life, and will soon return to his old age.

Being able to retreat in a torrent when the merits are overwhelming is what a wise man did, and this was also Yun Qing's advice to his father back then.However, for so many years, Leng Zhong is still safe and sound, it has to be said that it is Ling Yexuan's grace and God's protection.

Yun Qing took Leng Zhong's report to the old man, slowly raised his eyes, looked at Ling Yexuan who was leaning on the dragon chair, and said indifferently: "My lord is old, and I want to resign from the emperor, and I'm going back to my old age. .”

Ling Yexuan's sword eyebrows moved, his face was a little tense, and he said in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"

Yun Qing put down the booklet in his hand, but without any emotion, he just said: "The concubine is just thinking, who should be registered as the prime minister after the head of the country is old. Both Wang Yanping and Wu Yisi are worthy of reference. The other veterans It’s time for us to retire, and we don’t know what happened to the disciples they cultivated. This time, the courtiers and concubines must help the emperor to make a good selection for the imperial examination. After all, the replacement of courtiers is also a threshold that has to be crossed.”

Ling Yexuan's complexion was deep, although he couldn't see it, but his expression showed the complexity of his heart at the moment.Leng Zhong's resignation and return to his hometown represents all omissions in the power of the Leng clan. Even though Leng Zhan Tianwei is famous, he is still a general.So, he said, "What does Wan'er want to do?" If she wants to support the power of the Leng clan, he can agree to her, because he said seven years ago that he will agree to whatever she wants, whatever she wants , he will give.

He always remembered this promise, but he didn't know if she still remembered.That should be the first time he promised everything to a woman.

"The concubine wants to canonize Wang Yanping as prime minister, because he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is highly respected in the court. As for Wu Yisi, he can be promoted. He is also a rare talent, and he is upright." Yun Qing took the hand from Eunuch Zhao, and clicked He took out a bright red cinnabar writing brush, wrote a few words in the memorial, closed it, handed it to the maid at the side, and said: "Quickly go back to Prime Minister Leng, let him decide the three yuan of this imperial examination, let him choose carefully, the test paper You have to see it yourself, this can be regarded as the last task before you die.”

"Wan'er..." Ling Yexuan's heart was restrained. He suddenly felt that he no longer knew what Yun Qing wanted. Wasn't she arranging soldiers and horses in Yunshan just for power?Why now that she has such a good opportunity, she passes on such a good thing to others and becomes the beauty of others?

"The emperor's intentions are clear to the concubine, but the governance of the family and the country cannot be achieved simply by attracting power. At that time, the Lu family had a huge regime and monopolized the court, but in the end they were chased and killed by the descendants of the Liu family. The concubine is not Empress Lu. The concubine used to What I did was just to protect my father and brother, and hope that they are safe and sound. Now that my father is old, it is definitely not appropriate to still serve in the court, not to mention that he himself wants to leave. Why doesn't the emperor allow him ?" Yun Qing knew what Ling Yexuan was thinking, he loved her, at least now he regarded her as his true love, so he wanted to give her everything, just to make her smile.

However, the officialdom is dangerous, let alone a minister with power over the government and the opposition.Leng Zhong has been neglected all these years, maybe he himself didn't want to meddle in his own business, so he allowed this situation to continue, otherwise, with his foresight and wisdom, the situation would not have reached the point it is today.

Yun Qing's hand was grabbed, she raised her eyes, but Ling Yexuan had already pulled her into his generous arms.Yun Qing's side face was pressed against the scorching heat, his long eyelashes were lowered, and his bare hands rested on his chest, only to hear Ling Yexuan said in a low voice: "Tell me, what are you thinking? Isn't it what you want? I have already given you what you want, why do you still want to do this?"

"What did the emperor say, the concubine doesn't understand." Yun Qing's eyes shifted, and he turned around to try to break free from his arms, but Ling Yexuan didn't allow him. He held Yun Qing tightly in his arms, not allowing her to move, and eagerly He said: "You don't understand? So is there anyone in this world who understands? I always can't see through your heart, and I also believe that there is only a tiny bit of space in your heart for me, so small that almost everyone can tolerate it." No matter what, if you can see my sincerity, you should know how much I love you, and if you are afraid of losing you, I want to give you the best in this world, but you can't see it. Tell me, what exactly do you want, I can give it to you, I can give you everything, do you understand?"

Anything can be given... Yun Qing smiled lightly, how could she not understand?She has always understood, but protecting her father and brother is her unshirkable responsibility.So she raised her hand and slowly pushed him away, and said slowly: "I don't want anything, I just want to govern and stabilize this country for you, and I will do everything in my power to clear up the chaos. Retire in peace and go to my hometown in Suzhou and Hangzhou. At that time, the emperor can reward him with a few acres of fertile land and a few houses."

Ling Yexuan's face was serious, but he was already a little loose. He hugged her tightly, his voice was suddenly hoarse, and he seemed a little excited, and said in a trembling voice: "Is what you said true? Wan'er, will you stay?" Be by my side, face this country with me, and rule the world together?"
