Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 25 So. What is going on?

"Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me."

Emperor Yongjin lowered his eyes and uttered a comfortable sound softly. Behind him stood two people, slightly hunched over, looking as if they were ready to obey orders at any time.

"Cao Wei, who among my sons do you think can be of great use?"

"These days, many people in the court and the country want my eldest son to enter the East Palace and supervise the country for me. What do you think?"

The eunuch named Cao Wei nodded immediately but dared not say anything. Sweat was already oozing out of his forehead.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to respond to Emperor Yongjin's words.

However, Cao Wei had served Emperor Yongjin for so many years, so he naturally knew what Emperor Yongjin valued most.

"Your Majesty is still in his prime. Your sons are incompetent. How can they compete with you, the Holy Emperor?" Cao Wei tried to speak calmly.

"You mean that all my sons are incompetent?" Emperor Yongjin opened his eyes wide and asked as if questioning.

"Compared with Your Majesty, I have done nothing." Cao Wei said again.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Can the eldest prince enter the East Palace and serve as regent for me?" Emperor Yongjin said in a low voice.

"The great task of the country should be shouldered by capable people. I am afraid that Your Highness will make mistakes in state affairs." Cao Wei sighed in his heart, then calmed himself down.

If Chu Shixu heard his words, he would probably not end well. However, Cao Wei knew better that all his power came from the man in front of him.

Rather than standing on the side of the eldest prince, his position must be firmly inclined towards Emperor Yongjin.

If Cao Wei said anything good about the eldest prince or any other prince, that would be the end of his time in the palace.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yongjin angrily shouted, "That's my son!"

Cao Wei suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "I acknowledge my guilt."

"But you are right. They are still far inferior to me." Emperor Yongjin sighed again: "When the time comes, how can we feel at ease if the Great Zhou is handed over to them?"

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Wude Division, Guo Qian, requests to see you."

Emperor Yongjin nodded elegantly to show his agreement.

The man who entered the hall was tall, with a handsome and delicate appearance, but he had a short beard that showed a bit of heroism. His eyes were bright and he looked at Emperor Yongjin with a hearty smile.

If it were anyone else facing the expressionless Emperor Yongjin, they would never dare to do this.

But Guo Qian was different. His father Guo Che had been following Emperor Yongjin as an inner court guard when Emperor Yongjin was still a vassal prince.

Guo Qian was a childhood friend and served as a study companion to Emperor Yongjin.

When Emperor Zhengguang died without an heir, Emperor Yongjin, who was his closest blood relative, succeeded to the throne and had to leave his fiefdom and rush to Chang'an.

Guo Qian took advantage of this relationship and followed Emperor Yongjin into Chang'an.

This alone gave Guo Qian an extraordinary status during the reign of Emperor Yongjin, and he could even be said to be a minister who was promoted by fortune.

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Qian knelt down and bowed obediently.

Emperor Yongjin gave a false compliment, and Guo Qian then stood up respectfully.

"Why is Xiaode here?" Emperor Yongjin asked. This was Guo Qian's name.

Emperor Yongjin seldom showed affection to others, but Guo Qian was an exception.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin sold things in his mansion in the downtown area and also pawned some royal land deeds. My job is to supervise the security of the imperial city. I happened to come across this and found it a little strange, so I came to the palace to report it to Your Majesty." Guo Qian did not beat around the bush and spoke truthfully.

Emperor Yongjin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He flew into a rage and asked, "Does this boy think that I treat him badly? He actually sold the royal property for his own use?"

When Guo Qian saw the "furious" Emperor Yongjin, he was immediately horrified.

However, Emperor Yongjin only gave his princes a few dozen acres of land as assets, in addition to their daily monthly salaries.

With these dozens of acres of land, not to mention the prince, no family among all the officials in the court can be so shabby.

For ordinary people, it cannot be said to be bad, but in the royal family, this treatment is not as good as those of officials with a little status.

"Then should I give those merchants a warning and ask them to return the things of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?" Guo Qian hesitated and asked cautiously. He was not the kind of person who was good at guessing other people's intentions.

But Emperor Yongjin seemed to like his way of speaking. "No need, I want to see what my son is going to do." The anger on Emperor Yongjin's face gradually faded. He thought about it and didn't pay any more attention to it. Maybe his son was just short of money.

"Just pay more attention to his movements in the future."

Shanxi.

Li Jin in Jinyang Prefecture was involved in a "strange" incident.

"You said you want to propose marriage?" Li Jin asked back, afraid that he had misheard the sentence.

He has a daughter named Li Fengning.

Now, I am twenty-one.

An ordinary woman would have been married long ago, but Li Fengning has always been unwilling to get married, and her attitude is very firm.

If Li Jin forced Li Fengning to get married, she planned to run away and become a nun, and never have anything to do with the Li family again.

Later, seeing that Li Fengning was determined and that she was the only daughter left by his first wife Mi, Li Jin did not force his daughter to get married.

Just keep it. It’s impossible for our Li family to be unable to support a daughter.

And now, his daughter, who had refused to get married, suddenly changed her mind and wanted to propose marriage. How could Li Jin not be surprised?

The only thing that made Li Jin curious was which unlucky family was going to enjoy the good life.

"Yes." Li Fengning answered immediately.

"Whoever you like, your father will propose to you personally." Li Jin slammed the table immediately. This was simply a golden opportunity that fell from the sky.

Or happy events will come to you on their own.

Even double happiness!
Li Jin knew his daughter's true nature very well. Not only did she like to wield swords and guns, she was also very competitive and aggressive. God knew what kind of trouble she would cause in the future.

Good marriage!
It’s so great to get married!

From now on, there is no need to rely solely on the Li family to provide a safety net for Li Fengning. At least, she can rely on two families to provide a safety net for Li Fengning.

"I want to marry the Prince of Jin." Li Fengning said bluntly.

"Ah?" Li Jin was stunned for a moment, "Which King Jin?"

"It's His Majesty's fourth son." Li Fengning continued. With simulated memory, she naturally couldn't accept anyone else.

That's her personality. Once she chooses someone, she will never change to someone else.

After Li Jin heard this, the atmosphere immediately became gloomy.

"If you don't want to get married, don't use this excuse to evade father. Father really thinks you have come to your senses and want to get married."

At best, Li Jin was a provincial governor, and a marginal general who was not trusted by Emperor Yongjin.

The Prince of Jin was said to be the fourth son of Emperor Yongjin and a member of the royal family.

His Li family was at most a powerful family, not even a noble family.

How can this be considered marrying into the royal family?

Isn't this just nonsense?

"I really want to marry the King of Jin!" Li Fengning was also angry when she heard that Li Jin didn't believe her at all, "I don't care."

"I want to marry the King of Jin. I just want to marry the King of Jin."

“I don’t like other people.”

"Now, father, either you ask the King of Jin for marriage immediately, or you hand over the Li family to me."

"Otherwise, Father, please let me stay single for the rest of my life."

“There is no other choice.”

At this moment, Li Jin suddenly realized that his good daughter seemed to be serious and did not seem to be bluffing.

So, what is going on?
