Mowu Continental Country. Demon Palace, Imperial Study Room.
¡¡¡¡The night is dark, without stars and moon. The cold air of autumn seeps in through the half-opened carved mahogany windows, making the spacious imperial study very cold. The Mowu Kingdom is located in a desolate and barren wilderness, with a harsh climate. Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shengyuan Empire is still full of flowers, green trees, and full of vitality, while the Mowu Continent is already severely cold, as if it is early winter.
¡¡¡¡The luminous pearls, the size of dragon eyes, inlaid on the roof beams and walls, exude soft and bright light, illuminating the room as bright as day. Behind the desk, sat a noble girl in court attire, concentrating on reviewing the memorials and texts that were about a foot thick on the desk.
¡¡¡¡The maid standing next to her gently closed the window, and brought a purple camel hair and gold silk shawl, and lightly draped it on the shoulders of the girl in palace attire.
¡¡¡¡The girl in palace costume came back to her senses and said, "What time is it?"
¡¡¡¡ "It's just getting dark, princess, you've approved four full hours since afternoon tea." The maid said softly, "Should I take a rest?
¡¡¡¡The girl in the palace costume is naturally Princess Jingluan, the precious daughter of the Demon Emperor of the Mowu Continent. She shook her head and said: "These memorials are all urgent, and the father is not energetic enough to handle them. , I want to help him more.¡± Since she came back from her trip to the Mowu Kingdom, she received the order of the Demon Emperor and started to help the Demon Emperor to review texts and memorials, handle the state affairs, and go to bed very late every day.
¡¡¡¡Jingluan said: "Come here." The study door was pushed open, and a young guard stood respectfully outside the door.
¡¡¡¡When Jingluan saw the unfamiliar face, she couldn't help but startled: "Where's the chief guard Yulian? Where has he gone?"
¡¡¡¡ "Master the guard took a three-month vacation, approved by His Majesty, and has been away for some time." The guard said respectfully.
¡¡¡¡"Ask for leave? No wonder I haven't seen him for a long time." Jingluan thought carefully, she really hadn't seen Yulian for a long time, but she was busy with government affairs and didn't pay too much attention to it. She glanced at the guard and said : "What's your name? What's your position now?"
¡¡¡¡When the guard saw the princess's questioning, he solemnly performed a knight's etiquette and said, "The villain Lenghe is currently serving as the deputy chief guard of Her Royal Highness, and is willing to serve Her Highness."
¡¡¡¡ "Lenghe? Oh, you are the son of the prime minister, right?" Jingluan was startled, then said immediately.
¡¡¡¡ "The princess is wise, and my father is the Duke of Lengyu, who has always been deeply proud of my subjects." Leng He bowed.
¡¡¡¡Jingluan's interest was aroused by him, she put down the text for now, stood up, paced back and forth in the room, moved her stiff body slightly, and said with a smile: "You are very confident, my Chief of Guards. I still remember that you seem to have an older brother named Leng Chuan, who is the deputy commander of the 50,000-man Strong Wind Legion, right?"
¡¡¡¡ "Your Highness has such a strong memory, and my subordinates admire it." Leng He bowed slightly, and continued to speak in a neither overbearing nor humble way.
¡¡¡¡ "When did you become my bodyguard? You replaced Yu Lian as the chief bodyguard, I have never seen you before." Jingluan looked at him with a smile and said.
¡¡¡¡Leng He raised his head slightly, saw her bright smile like a star, couldn't help but lowered his head, and replied: "Yes, it is a villain's honor to be able to serve Your Highness the Princess."
¡¡¡¡"Honor?" Jingluan slightly sneered and said: "It seems that it is a great honor to be able to serve His Royal Highness and Second Highness, right? Is it a great honor to flirt with each other?"
¡¡¡¡"Short-sighted and incompetent people will eventually pay the price for their stupidity. Don't worry about jumping clowns. No matter how much the loach churns, it won't be able to make big waves." Leng He said firmly, "If there is such a One day, the villain, the minister, and the Leng family are willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the princess."
¡¡¡¡Jingluan was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly changed, and then she took a deep look at him, and said coldly: "You are very smart, Chief of Lenghe Guard! Who taught you these things, don't you be afraid of yours? Excessive speech will bring you and your family endless disasters?"
¡¡¡¡"The princess is wise, the villain thinks that you can tell the difference between loyalty and stupidity, and you can also tell whether the villain's words are taught by others or your oath of allegiance." Leng He didn't care. Without flinching, he straightened his body and said loudly.
¡¡¡¡"Very good, I remember your title is baron, right? Your future destiny is in your own hands, I can see that you are a smart person, do it well." Jingluan took another deep look at him, smiling Said: "Now, you go and tell me that the Minister of State Affairs is here."
¡¡¡¡Lenghe made another markMany people are poor, and a considerable number of people are even struggling on the line of food and clothing. How many people and how long will it take to save these two million gold coins? How much can it accomplish if applied to improve the lives of our people? "Jingluan sighed in great pain, "How many officials nowadays are really working hard for state affairs? Most of them only know how to seek self-interest, fish and meat people, and those who have deteriorated and corrupted are too serious. "
¡¡¡¡Master Julai's complexion was red, he did not dare to say a word, and knelt on the ground trembling.
¡¡¡¡ "Besides, food, military pay, and logistical supplies are the most important things for the two emperor brothers to go out this time. There is always a fear of chaos in the entire army. If the soldiers in the front mutiny because of the deduction of military pay, it is not you, or It is the Earl of Liyuan, who can bear the consequences. Of course, I also know that the quartermaster, especially the military pay officer, is a fat job, and no one can clean it; but it is best for the adults to warn him, let him stop in moderation, and don't go too far. It¡¯s too much. This time I don¡¯t have to pursue it, but from now on, in my tenure, I don¡¯t want to see this kind of thing happen again.¡± Jingluan condescendingly looked down at Master Julai who was kneeling at his feet, and said indifferently. road.
¡¡¡¡Sweating profusely on Ju Lai's back, he forced himself to be calm, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the old minister must warn him, and hereby thank His Highness for his forgiveness."
¡¡¡¡ "As for the other loophole, I would like to ask, the emperor has clearly ordered that no one is allowed to lend troops to the two royal highnesses except for the troops allocated to the two imperial brothers, under any pretext,¡ª Your lord should be clear about this strict order, right?" Jingluan put away her worrying thoughts and said coldly.
¡¡¡¡ "Clear, clear." Ju Lai bit the bullet and said.
¡¡¡¡"Then why did the head of the Venus Legion ignore strict orders and privately allocated 10,000 troops to His Royal Highness the Prince? And this matter, is your lord still ignorant of this matter and has not been examined?" Jing Luan remained in tone Plain way.
¡¡¡¡ "Old, old minister is stupid! This matter, the old minister is, is informed, just to enable His Royal Highness to win the victory as soon as possible, and to play the triumphant song early. Therefore, the old minister knows and pretends not to know about Wu Ni's actions, and hopes that His Royal Highness will Punishment." Ju Lai kowtowed.
¡¡¡¡"Are you thinking that His Royal Highness may be the future Demon Emperor, and I will please him first, then I will be able to support him and keep my honorable position?" In Jingluan's flat tone, Contains incomparable sharpness.
"Old minister, old minister" The weather was so cold, but the sweat on Julai's forehead fell drop by drop on the thick scarlet carpet where he was kneeling, and he couldn't even complete a sentence.
¡¡¡¡ "It's human nature to have these small calculations, so it's not worth looking into. But what I want to say is that His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of his life, and it's not yet the time when he's in a hurry and has two hearts. Hold on, be vigilant about yourself. And you have worked hard for the king's affairs for decades, and you have never been negligent. You have made great contributions to the Mowu Kingdom. You have failed your father's expectations. As for the commander of the Red Army, who knowingly and deliberately violated his father's strict orders, it is unjustifiable not to punish him, so it is up to you to draw up a punishment plan and submit it to me." Jingluan said.
¡¡¡¡ "The old minister complies with His Highness's order." Ju Lai was grateful and ashamed, and did not dare to object, and said respectfully.
¡¡¡¡ "I am young, and it is the first time I am in charge of political affairs. There are many things I don't understand. I hope that adults will not hesitate to give advice. But if something happens that dares to have ulterior motives and deceive the emperor, I will never be relentless." , but the law is still there, and there is nothing human to say." Jingluan's faint voice seemed to be colder than the cold weather outside the window, and then said: "Okay, it's getting late, you can go down."
¡¡¡¡Ju Lai exited the room, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought of the princess' bright eyes that seemed to see through all the darkness, he could not help but shudder, and murmured in his heart: It seems that the comfortable days are coming to an end up.
