It is better to attack His Royal Highness than to compete in the world

The Queen's selection of her husband was not only a matter of private concern to the major noble families in Beimo, Ren Chengqing did not express his position on this matter for a month or two, finally some people in the court couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty has something to say. This matter should be your majesty's family affairs, but your majesty is the lord of a country, and family affairs are state affairs. The inheritance of the family is indispensable, let alone the country. Your majesty will take the throne for more than three months. It will delay your majesty's blessing. I am Beimo For internal and external peace, Your Majesty should also put more thought into the harem, choose a royal husband as soon as possible, and give birth to an heir for Bei Mo." As soon as the official finished speaking, the court fell silent.Although there is a precedent for a queen in Beimo, after hundreds of years of development, it is still in a position where men are respected.This is the first time that the Queen's selection of her husband has been brought up in court.

Ren Chengqing's eyes swept across the audience, and everywhere he looked were officials who bowed their heads and spoke cautiously, with an obedient and peaceful attitude on the surface. "What do you love dears think?" Ren Chengqing threw the question to the following.

"Your Majesty, please give birth to Lin'er for Beimo as soon as possible, and inherit my century-old foundation in Beimo." One person knelt down and spoke, followed by kneeling officials one after another.A chill flashed across Ren Chengqing's eyes, and it was fleeting. They were indeed the pillars of Bei Mo, and all of them were looking forward to her giving birth to an heir for Bei Mo. They couldn't wait.

"It's all my fault. I'm sorry, dear ladies, I'm worried. It's just that I have too many outstanding men in Beimo. I'm really dazzled at the moment. I don't know which lover is willing to share my worries?" Didn't everyone want her to choose a husband? , then she will make a good choice.The ministers looked at each other for a while, and choosing the queen's husband for the queen sounded like a good job, but it seemed a little unreasonable, and everyone was stunned for a while.

"I would like to share your majesty's worries." The young official stepped forward and knelt down to ask for orders. It was Li Sheng, the champion of the new department last year, who was deeply loved by the late emperor, and is now the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

"Then leave this matter to Mr. Li."

"Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty."

The early court was over, and officials in twos and threes left together.Many people have already started to greet Li Sheng. "Congratulations, Master Li, congratulations to Master Li." "Your Majesty, you are being polite. It's all about your worries." Li Sheng greeted each of them with a hint of spirit in his eyes.Some people are envious, some people are jealous, no matter what, many people believe that Li Sheng is going to be a great success. If you grasp this opportunity, you will not only make money, but also ascend to the throne of the emperor, and it may even become a symbol of the change of imperial power. VIP.The officials who hadn't reacted at the court just now could only regret it at this moment, and even hurriedly made friends with Li Sheng.

It didn't take long for the court to come, and all the invitations flew to Li Sheng's mansion, and it was really busy for a while.Li Shengdao didn't refuse. Once he set a time, he replied to all the servants, so that Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.Although the queen did not clearly say how to hand over the matter of choosing the emperor's husband to Li Sheng, Li Sheng should still be the one to determine who has the opportunity to face the saint.

The prime minister's mansion is completely opposite. Ever since Chen Yali was punished, although Ren Chengqing did not take any further action, he detained Jiang Shang's only daughter, which made the prime minister's people dare not make big moves, and his influence in the court was obvious. It has dropped a lot, and Jiang Shang is restraining the words and deeds of the people here, although it is not quite a crowd, it is also a lot bleak.The Queen's selection of her husband this time undoubtedly gave them another hope, a chance to win the favor. Moreover, even if they do not move, the opponent will definitely move. The position of the Queen's husband is too important to fall into the hands of other factions. It's hard for them to turn around.

"My lord, please make a quick decision." Everyone discussed for a long time, but Jiang Shang didn't say a word, which made all his staff and subordinates anxious.

"What do you think of His Majesty today?"

"Your Majesty is a woman, and she is young. It is inevitable that she is inexperienced and thin-skinned. This time, the courtiers are responsible for choosing a husband. We will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty. We must choose the most suitable imperial husband for Your Majesty and Beimo. "The high-sounding answer made Jiang Shang laugh out loud, a group of idiots, the scars are really healed and the pain is forgotten, and they don't even look at how His Majesty got the throne today, forcing confessions to usurp the throne, such people will be thin-skinned and inexperienced, Would you hand over the matter of marriage to a courtier?

Jiang Shang's laughter made his subordinates feel numb, especially the one who just answered, he carefully apologized and continued to ask: "I don't know what's wrong with the subordinate's answer just now, did the prime minister laugh at it?" Jiang Shang smiled and said nothing. In other words, so what if you see through it, Jiang Zhaoxue is in the palace, accompanying the king, he Jiang Shang is almost like a grasshopper on the same rope with His Majesty, at most he feels uncomfortable, and he just doesn't help.As for the group of people under him, forget it, they are just a bunch of mediocrity.

"Your Majesty is gentle and strong, beyond your comprehension, the holy will is unpredictable, so don't act rashly." Jiang Shang could only advise.

"But Mr. Prime Minister, I am waiting in this torrent, not moving is equivalent to retreating."

"Instead of going upstream, it's better to go downstream." Jiang Shang shook his head and walked away. He could only do so.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and could only leave first.The Prime Minister's Mansion heard that the Prime Minister was not feeling well, so he closed the door to thank the guests.

At night, Li Sheng's mansion ushered in a distinguished guest. He dismissed the servants around him, closed the windows and doors, signaled the guards around him to be alert, and Ren Chengqing took off his cloak.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Lord Li, thank you for your hard work." Ren Chengqing stepped forward to help Li Sheng up, Li Sheng suppressed the trace of emotion in his eyes, and looked up at Ren Chengqing's eyes, which were already clear.

"I've had a good time these few days. The banquets in each family are extremely luxurious, but I have tasted the delicacy of Desert Sand City."

"Aiqing is doing well, so I feel relieved, but I don't know if Aiqing remembers which banquets she had?"

"In order to repay the favor in the future, I will record them one by one, so I dare not forget."

"That's right, they take such good care of my love, and I will remember them well." Li Sheng handed over the booklet in his hand to Ren Chengqing, which recorded in detail which places and which people made which requests.

"Your Majesty, what do I need to do next?"

"Why don't you make a deal with them, Ai Qing?"

"trade?"

"Buying and selling is a deal. Since they want to sell their good son to me, they have to pay something."

Ren Chengqing handed another booklet to Li Sheng, and under Ren Chengqing's gaze, Li Sheng opened it, and there were dozens of different lists inside, including little-known officials in the imperial city, officials from subordinate cities, and new ones. There are advanced young students and old officials.

"This is?"

"In the past few years, I have not only made friends with Aiqing as a pillar. Although Aiqing has a lot of difficulties in her chest and aspirations in her heart, it is not enough. I believe that Aiqing will like these people. I want to create a peaceful world Shengshi, this is the first step, Aiqing must help me to do it well."

Li Sheng felt a strange feeling in his heart, a little sour. In fact, he was not very special in her mind. The biography, wonderful articles, world-shaking maxims, fantastic talks, etc. It seems that I can't wait to get to know these people.Suppressing the strange feeling, Li Sheng said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Ren Chengqing was also surprised by the formality in his tone.A trace of admiration welled up in Li Sheng's eyes, yes, she is a high and mighty empress, the only thing I can do for her is to fulfill all her orders without any delusions.His empress should be like this, high above and not profane.

Inside the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, there was a scene of singing and dancing. Li Sheng stared at the dancing singers, his eyelids could hardly be opened. Such days were really difficult.Go to court during the day, go to banquets at night, and complete His Majesty's secret orders in the middle of the night.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Li has been overworked recently. He is really serving the country and the people."

"Don't dare, don't dare, just do your duty." Li Sheng pinched his thigh, and another big fish was hooked.

"I don't know how Master Li's errands are going. Is His Majesty satisfied?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the True Dragon. The holy face is something that ordinary people can see casually? What's more, Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. How dare you introduce anyone to His Majesty casually. Of course, the officials will first select one or two before reporting to His Majesty." Li Sheng said it seriously, and put down a big enough bait.

"Your Majesty is really serious about his work. Your Majesty has not found the wrong person. Although I have many handsome men in Beimo, there are not many who are worthy of your Majesty. There is no one in your Majesty's harem, so this is very important. Instead of choosing those lowly places For those who come out, it is better to find some educated and well-cultivated children of aristocratic families. The dog is not talented, he is just sixteen this year, and has not been married. Riding and shooting, I have always admired a talent like Master Li, and I hoped that I would introduce it, and today I hope Master Li will show face." A young man in brocade clothes walked up to Li Sheng with a wine glass, raised his glass to toast, and Li Sheng stood up Drank it down.

"Your Excellency, you are very polite. I think Mr. Ling is young, he has the ability to advance and retreat, and behaves rationally. It is really extraordinary."

"Master Li was joking, I don't know what Master Li thinks, His Majesty..."

Li Sheng concealed the sarcasm in his eyes, and said in a deliberate manner: "I have a classmate who admires your lord very much, but it's a pity that he came from a humble background, and he didn't perform well in the spring, so he had to waste his time in a border town. I can't bear it, I don't know your lord... ..."

"Master Li's classmate must also have some advantages. It's just that he made a mistake in his performance. It's inevitable. It's inevitable. It's easy to handle."

"Mr. Li, thank you so much. Mr. Li would also like to ask for Mr. Ling's birth date. Let's add it up." The two looked at each other and smiled.

After finally getting drunk from Shangshu's residence, Li Sheng got into the carriage, Li Sheng's slightly closed eyes opened, without any hint of drunkenness.Silently thinking about what else can be arranged on the roster.Lu Huipin, who was degraded for speaking out and was demoted, was assigned to the Ministry of Rites. Although his official position was not big, he returned to Mosha City; Officials, although they are not big officials, but work hard, the promotion of the person His Majesty likes is just around the corner; Shen Yue, who is in the same class as him, stays at home because his political views are too radical and advocates equal treatment of laws. Now he has entered the official department. I have long seen that Shen Yue is not something in the pool, but I did not expect His Majesty to have the same vision as him... This Desert Sand City is not big or small, but there are many officials at all levels. It is not easy for these big men to insert some insignificant people It's difficult, and the next step is to look at their own development.Plant the seeds one by one, and wait for them to grow into towering trees.
