Stranger and Chen in the Palace

An hour later, Xue Zimo opened his eyes drowsily.

"Brother Zimo..."

Ling Muxue's shy voice rang in his ears, Xue Zimo suddenly woke up as if struck by lightning, Ling Muxue was hugging him, and the two of them had nothing on! ! !

Pushing her away in shock, Xue Zimo looked at Ling Muxue in disbelief: "You, you..."

Couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Ling Muxue hurt and said: "Yes, I drugged the wound medicine, but brother Zimo, we are husband and wife!"

Xue Zimo stumbled out of bed to get dressed, Ling Muxue on the bed was still bare shoulders, her body was covered by the quilt, he turned his head: "You, why bother..."

If Ling Muxue was still intact, she could still find a good man to remarry. Now...

"Brother Zimo, I'm already yours. This is a fact you can't deny!" Ling Muxue looked at him stubbornly.

Xue Zimo turned around and quickly left the room, his heart was in a turmoil. The first thing he thought of was Ling Yichen. If he knew about this, he...

How could this be?

how so!

On the one hand, he owed Ling Muxue, and on the other hand, he felt guilty towards Ling Yichen, which messed up his internal organs.

Thinking of Ling Yichen, I couldn't help thinking of that male pet named Ye Pei,

eyes lightly closed,

My heart aches,

They will never go back...

In Xihe palace.

Ling Yichen's face was very ugly, Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong looked at each other, but they were also silent.

In the last half month, due to the suppression of the influence of the rebels Ling Yihong and Jing Wang Ling Yihao, nearly half of the officials in the court were killed and dismissed. In addition to the previous Ling Yihong rebellion, there were countless casualties.

Rumors spread all over the world suddenly, saying that Ling Yichen was a cruel and bloodthirsty king, and even turning black and white, saying that he killed his brother to seize the throne.Moreover, Ling Yichen had ordered the traitor Ling Yihong to be quartered before, which further confirmed the rumors.

The people who didn't know the truth panicked about this, and the officials all over the world were discouraged and dared not be officials. As a result, vacant official positions could not be filled in time, and things in the court were almost paralyzed.

Xiao Ye pondered for a while: "Your Majesty, I think these rumors are deliberately spread by someone with a heart."

The relationship between the officials of the DPRK and China and the major interest families is intricate, and the whole body is affected by it.After all, Ling Yichen was still young, and he didn't take this into consideration when suppressing the power of the two. As a result, the interests of some big families were seriously damaged, so they sent people to spread such rumors, in an attempt to overthrow Ling Yichen while his foundation was not stable.

"Don't worry about those rumors, you should find someone to fill those vacant seats as soon as possible." Ling Yichen said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Xiao Ye also understands that if this continues, there may be big troubles in the court.

In the next few days, Ling Yichen received all bad news.

The people below the vacant official position didn't cooperate at all, and even made trouble secretly. The people Xiao Ye found were not clear about the situation, and they kept having problems.At the same time, rumors from outside became more and more intense, and some places even began to move around, secretly gathering forces to prepare to confront the court.

There is chaos inside and out, and the situation is difficult.

Ling Yichen dealt with rushes sent from all over the world day and night, and dealt with wave after wave of emergencies.

Seeing His Majesty burying himself in the pile of memorials, Shunde was very distressed. Ling Yichen hadn't slept for several days, even if he was too sleepy, he just sat on the case for a while and started to deal with the memorials again.

In just a few days, his body lost a lot of weight.

Morning above.

Probably because he hadn't rested for several days, Ling Yichen felt his headache as if it had been cut apart. He suppressed the discomfort, looked at Xue Jingting and said, "Mr. Xue, what's the matter with you?"

The facts this time are too tricky. If Xue Jingting, the prime minister, was not in charge of the court, it would have been a mess, but even so, the situation is getting worse and worse.

Xue Jingting frowned: "Your Majesty, we must solve this matter from the source, otherwise the situation will be even more difficult."

Ling Yichen also understands this, but now no one is willing to participate in the selection of the palace examination.No talents can be found, vacant official positions cannot be filled, affairs in the DPRK and China are still paralyzed, and the situation continues.It is also impossible for him to kill all those who do not cooperate and make trouble. Wouldn't that make the rumors more solid and make the situation worse.

Ling Yichen closed his eyes, and the severe pain in his head made him frown.

A young eunuch hurried in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xue Zimo outside the palace asks to see you."

Ling Yichen opened his eyes suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

What is Xue Zimo doing here?

The white figure strolled into the Golden Luan Hall, lifted the hem of his clothes with his right hand, knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Xue Zimo kowtowed to my majesty, may my emperor live long and live long!"

Ling Yichen tightened his grip on the armrest of the Dragon Seat, and felt the urge to go down to help him, and said in as calm a voice as possible: "Mr. Xue, please get up."

He didn't want to see this person kneel down to him. He used to hold him on the tip of his heart, but now, he didn't want him to kneel down to him.Perhaps only in this way, he can still deceive himself. In fact, the distance between them is not that far away...

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xue Zimo got up as he said, and showed Ling Yichen a warm smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Your Majesty, Xue Zimo wants to become an official in the court, and he can show his ambition. I hope His Majesty will make it happen."

As soon as this remark came out, the court was shocked!

Everyone knows that the number one talented man in the world is weak-hearted, the late emperor called him to be an official in the imperial court several times, and treated him with a high position, but he used various excuses to evade it.Now that he took the initiative to ask for an official, it is really puzzling.

However, Xue Jingting was the most surprised when he heard this. He frowned and looked at his son.

Ling Yichen didn't speak, but fixedly looked at Xue Zimo, trying to find a trace on his bland face.

Did he enter the court as an official to help himself?

This thought flashed through Ling Yichen's mind, but he quickly rejected it.He no longer dared to have such thoughts, if Xue Zimo really valued himself so much, he would not have abandoned him in the first place...

Xue Zimo was still smiling as always, he was waiting, waiting for Ling Yichen to make a decision.

Ling Yichen turned his head and said to Shunde: "Decree, Xue Zimo's official worship is the Prime Minister of the Left, and his father Xue Jingting is respected as the Prime Minister of the Right. Xue Zimo doesn't have to wear court clothes, and he is exempted from kneeling and worshiping!"

He really didn't want to see Xue Zimo wearing red anymore, even if it was just a red court dress...

All the officials in the palace had just recovered from their astonishment, when they suddenly heard Ling Yichen's order, and fell into a state of shock again.

Even if Xue Zimo is the most talented person in the world, there is no reason why he should be a first-rank prime minister from the beginning, and he doesn't have to wear clothes and kneel down to worship the king. This kind of honor is truly unprecedented.Even his father, Xue Jingting, did not receive this kind of treatment. All the officials looked at the new prime minister with surprise and envy on their faces.

Xue Zimo smiled slightly, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Ling Yichen swept the court majestically: "Left Prime Minister stays, everyone retreats."

All the officials withdrew from the main hall, and after a while, there were only three people left in the huge Jinluan Hall: Ling Yichen, Xue Zimo, and Shunde.

Ling Yichen walked down the steps slowly, and came to Xue Zimo: "Why are you an official?"

He didn't believe Xue Zimo's rhetoric at all. Although he had never said anything to himself, he also knew that it was never Xue Zimo's ambition to become an official in the court.

"Weichen already said it just now." Xue Zimo smiled lightly.

Ling Yichen frowned, forget it, he won't say it.He waved his hand: "You step back." After speaking, he was about to leave with Shunde.

"Your Majesty..." Xue Zimo whispered.

Ling Yichen turned his head and saw him smiling at himself: "If Your Majesty trusts me, please ask me to review some of the memorials for you."

Ling Yichen was taken aback, looked at him for a while, and then told Shunde: "Pass down the decree, the left minister's blue approval is the same as my Zhu's approval."

"Yes" Shunde carefully withdrew from the hall to announce the decree.

Xue Zimo followed Ling Yichen back to Xihe Palace. The court affairs were urgent a few days ago, and all the memorials were sent directly to Ling Yichen's bedroom. Now that pile of memorials is piled up on the desk in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, go and rest, I will handle the memorial for you first."

Ling Yichen nodded, didn't say anything more, and went straight back to the inner hall.

Now he has a headache that is about to burst. No matter why Xue Zimo is an official, it is always good for him to be closer to him.I have to admit that no matter how cruel Xue Zimo is, I still can't let him go...
