Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 519 Minister's Opinion
The ministers used their lives to force Jin Yantang to hold this draft. At this moment, Jin Yantang deliberately mentioned the results of the draft to them. Presumably someone among the girls in this show must have caught his eye.

Sure enough, after Jin Yantang finished speaking to everyone, he went on to say to everyone: "I am interested in the beautiful girl Lan Ke. As for the vacant queen position, I have decided to give it to Lan Ke."

All the ministers waited with bated breath, but they did not expect such a sentence from Jin Yantang.

Immediately, many people looked away from Jin Yantang in disappointment. Shang Kelin was sitting in the lower right corner of the hall. After hearing Jin Yantang's words, there was no change in his expression. Sitting quietly in the hall, looking at his nose, nose and heart, it seemed that what Jin Yantang said had nothing to do with him.

Sima Qin Tianjian was the first person to stand up and congratulate Jin Yantang, and also expressed his attitude of standing on Jin Yantang's side for everyone to see.

But now Chen Shilang, who is the prime minister on the left, is silent, just sits in the first position on the lower left and observes everyone carefully, and agrees with no pain: "I respectfully wish your Majesty find the woman you like. I have no choice but to replace wine with tea, and offer a cup to Your Majesty!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice of disapproval sounded at this moment: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, is it too hasty for you to decide the position of queen in this way? Not to mention the background of the beautiful girl Lan Ke, just talking about it De Rong, the choice of Empress needs to be carefully examined by the Minister of Rituals, and if you make such a decision, it will be difficult for the ministers to be convinced by this result!"

For a moment, everyone looked at this person, only to see that the person who spoke was wearing a sky-blue official uniform, with a square face and a long beard, and his cloudy eyes looked bright, showing that he was not old. On the contrary, it looks a bit shrewd.

The six ministers also sent women to the palace, but their women were all sent home by the queen mother, and the results of the draft have not yet come out, but His Majesty wants to be the queen first.

Many people agreed with his senior scholar Su, and said to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, what the senior scholar Su said is very true. The empress needs to be a person with both ability and integrity, and she needs to study it carefully. The matter is of great importance, and the position of empress is the position of the mother of a country, why should your majesty avoid the important and focus on the less important, and let's talk about the candidates for the four concubines first?"
Four concubines?

When everyone said this, they didn't notice the coldness in Jin Yantang's eyes.

Back then, when I took Lan'er into the palace and wanted to make Shang Kelan the queen, the self-righteous ministers persuaded him in the same way, and pushed Shang Kelan to the forefront, planning to spread rumors to slander Shang Kelan's reputation.

Do they still think this trick is useful to them now?
But before Jin Yantang could speak, these ministers started chattering non-stop about the position of queen, except Chen Shilang, Shang Kelin, and Qin Tianjian Chief Sima, who had expressed their attitude earlier in the morning, did not participate in it.

Suddenly, someone brought the topic to Shang Kelin.

"I believe that General Shang's opinion should be the most important thing when conferring the position of empress. The former empress is the younger sister of General Shang, and the former empress is virtuous and virtuous, with both ability and virtue. Presumably, General Shang's opinion of the candidate for the empress must be Can unify our opinions!"

These people waited for three years for a great opportunity for Jin Yantang to enshrine the harem. They finally sent the carefully cultivated women to the palace. How could they be willing to make wedding dresses for Lan Ke?

As soon as these words came out, as expected, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Shang Kelin.

Shang Kelin slowly rubbed the teacup, picked it up and took a sip, held the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face, and said to the crowd indifferently: "Who does your majesty want to marry as a wife, do you still need to ask the minister's opinion?"

These words were like a slap across the face of everyone.

I thought that Shang Kelin would use force to oppress Jin Yantang and prevent other women from taking the queen's position, but he didn't expect Shang Kelin to express his inner thoughts so directly. Not only did he not oppose Jin Yantang, but he also openly expressed his support for Jin Yantang.

You must know that Shang Kelin is a top-ranking general of the country in the court, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. If he can get his support, no matter how strong the opposition from these ministers is, it is impossible to cause any waves. Besides, looking at the meaning of the left minister, Chen Shilang, he seems to be on His Majesty's side.

It's just that in an instant, many ministers turned ugly because of Shang Kelin's words, especially Madam Su, he blushed with anger, but he didn't dare to disrespect His Majesty and Shang Kelin.

So he could only hold back his anger and salute Jin Yantang, and said from an objective point of view: "Your Majesty, since you only selected the girl Lan Ke among the newcomers this time, there are no other women in your harem, and there is only the little prince and a dragon in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Si, the royal blood is really weak, which is worrying."

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if there are no other women that you like in this group of newcomers, why don't you consider those concubines that you cleared out of the harem before?"

At that draft ceremony, everyone had seen that Master Su let his niece Wen Xiuyan participate in the draft.

And Wen Xiuyan was Concubine Ning who stayed in the harem for three years. Although she was thrown into the cold palace for violating palace rules, she was also the woman who stayed in the harem for the longest time since His Majesty ascended the throne. She knew His Majesty better. If sending her into the palace, it would be a good way to fight for favor.

Furthermore, even in terms of appearance alone, Wen Xiuyan may not be the youngest one, but she is definitely not the ugliest one. On the contrary, the temperament that has accumulated on her body over the years makes her look better than most beautiful girls.

Various thoughts were intertwined in the minds of these ministers. On the dragon chair, Jin Yantang propped his face with one hand, looking at them with a half-smile, but there was no smile in his dark and deep eyes.

After waiting for a while, all the ministers seemed to have made up their minds, and began to recommend Jin Yantang's beautiful girls, but as soon as they opened their mouths, Jin Yantang lost the patience to continue listening to them useless words, and only spoke majesticly and domineeringly. Everyone announced: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more, my queen is none other than the beautiful girl Lan Ke."

As he spoke, he scanned the ministers with indifferent and sharp eyes, and those who looked at him couldn't help but lower their heads, and didn't dare to say another word.

Only then did Jin Yantang feel satisfied and said to Qin Tianjian and the Minister of Rites: "Leave this matter to Da Sima and Liu Shangshu..."

However, before Jin Yantang finished speaking, a servant girl rushed in and whispered something in Jin Yantang's ear. Jin Yantang's expression changed, and a look of anger appeared on his usually calm face. !
After a while, Jin Yantang got up quickly, left a sentence of "discuss later", and hurriedly left the cabinet hall.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help being a little confused. After Jin Yantang left, the minister gave some benefits to the palace maid, and asked the palace maid: "What happened, Your Majesty left the cabinet so eagerly?"
