Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 13 Why did Yun Ji still keep the strawberries?

Nan Yingzhi was pushed down unexpectedly by Ling Feng and almost lost her balance.

She bared her teeth, waved her arms up and down, and jumped forward several times before she could barely keep her body steady.

In order to maintain Yunji's aloof image, Nan Yingzhi raised her head as if nothing had happened and looked around calmly.

Sure enough, wherever the eyes looked, there were heads bowed.

“Your Highness,” an old man standing in front of her shouted, leading the other officials to kneel before Nan Yingzhi, “Your Highness, I pay you my respects to the Regent!”

Nan Yingzhi was shocked by the sudden greeting. Wasn't she supposed to lead the way in kowtow to the emperor? Why was she the one accepting the greetings from the ministers?

Even though the old man in the lead was kneeling, his body was still straight, full of the spirit of a scholar.

Judging from the red court robe he was wearing, which was unique to the cabinet, Nan Yingzhi judged that this person should be the head of the civil servants that Lingfeng mentioned - the chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Xi.

Shen Xi has white hair. It is no exaggeration to say that he could be Nan Yingzhi’s grandfather in terms of age.

Nan Yingzhi felt a little overwhelmed by this great gift. She quickly raised her hand and made a "stand up" gesture: "Everyone, please stand up."

Upon hearing this, the ministers did not get up immediately, but turned around and headed towards the Golden Palace, waiting for Nan Yingzhi to receive the gift.

Nan Yingzhi came to his senses and followed Shen Xi's example, leading the ministers to kowtow three times and bow nine times, and then led them into the hall.

When standing outside, Nan Yingzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with her position. Now that she had entered the Golden Throne Hall, she realized something was wrong.

Behind her, there was one row of civil officials, one row of military generals, and an empty row in the middle. The question was, which row should she stand in?

Also, what about the chair in the middle?

Nan Yingzhi was still hesitating when the emperor in dragon robe came in from the palace gate.

Led by Gao Shu, he walked along the middle path towards the dragon throne on the stairs.

Since the emperor was going to walk in the middle, she should stand aside and not block the way.

Nan Yingzhi thought so and took a step to the right.

Nan Yi is standing on the right, which means the right side is for military generals. She is considered half a military official, so it should be okay for her to stand in this row, right?

Yun Ting was puzzled when he saw the "Prince Regent" still looking around. Didn't the Prince Regent usually sit in the middle chair? What happened today?

Yun Tingwan did not dare to neglect her. After sitting down on the dragon chair, he extended his hand to signal Nan Yingzhi to sit down as well: "Royal brother, please sit down."

ah? I?

Nan Yingzhi didn't expect that the chair belonged to her. She looked up and met the emperor's eyes. Inadvertently, she saw a striking red mark on the edge of the emperor's collar.

Even though Nan Yingzhi had been single for many years, even if she had never eaten pork, had she seen a pig run?

With the development of the modern Internet, even if she has never been in a relationship, it does not prevent her from seeing what a kiss mark looks like when she is looking at her phone.

The news that "Yun Ji slept with her all night last night" occupied her mind just right, and Nan Yingzhi was confused and surprised.

Yun Ji, is he that fierce? He, a guy who is not sure if he is straight, actually left strawberries in such an obvious place!

Nan Yingzhi was a professional in acting, and she quickly suppressed her chaotic thoughts, politely bowed to the emperor and said "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat", and then sat down without any hesitation.

Although sitting for a long time can easily cause hemorrhoids, standing for a long time will make the legs tired, so she would rather sit than stand.

In the court, the emperor did not exchange pleasantries and got to the point in a few words: "Beishuo has openly torn up the treaty and invaded our Dali. What do you think about this matter?"

The memorial approved by Nan Yingzhi last night has not yet been returned to the ministers. The ministers do not know the emperor and the regent's attitude towards this matter, so they keep it to themselves and dare not speak out.

After all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The emperor's attitude is important, and the regent's attitude is even more important. Neither of them has expressed their stance. Why should they, small cannon fodder with little influence, rush forward to join in the fun?

It was quiet all around, and Yun Ting felt a little embarrassed. In order to save his face and liven up the atmosphere, he started to ask people questions.

After looking around, he asked Shen Xi, the chief civil official who supported him the most: "Lord Shen, what do you think?"

When Shen Xi heard his name being called, he quickly moved out of the line. He deliberately avoided Nan Yingzhi's face and just bowed his head.

"I think that Beishuo broke the agreement first and rashly sent troops to invade our Dali territory, killing innocent people. This is intolerable. We should mobilize troops immediately to recover the border!"

Having received the same idea as his own, Yun Ting nodded with satisfaction and let Shen Xi return to the team.

Nan Yingzhi was also shocked when she heard this. She had previously thought that Shen Xi was a sour scholar, but now she saw that he was a useful talent who cared about the people and was sensible.

It was a pity that he was a traditionalist and staunch royalist, and his attitude towards himself as regent was lukewarm.

Yun Ting pretended to call people out to express their opinions: "Admiral Zhao, what is your opinion?"

Knowing that Admiral Zhao was the person Yun Ting wanted to win over, Nan Yingzhi picked up the teacup beside her and pricked up her ears to listen to the results of their collusion.

"What Prime Minister Shen said is absolutely right. I agree to send troops immediately."

As expected, he had been notified in advance and was in cahoots with the emperor.

Nan Yingzhi took a sip of tea and wondered quietly when it would be her turn.

Yun Ting named several ministers from his own faction in succession, and as expected, he received a unanimous reply of "send troops".

He was still young, and not yet as cunning as the emperors of the past. When he was happy, his brows would unconsciously smile, and the word "happy" was written on his face.

Finally, for once, he has the final say in the court!

Before he could feel proud for a few seconds, he glanced at the Regent who was sipping tea, and his excitement sank again.

Although the ministers of his own faction strongly supported it, the ministers of the Regent Party and the Neutral Party remained silent. How was the decision-making process just now different from a one-man show?

Thinking about the fact that he had discussed with the Regent yesterday and even decided on the selection of the commander, Yun Ting asked Nan Yingzhi in a pretentious manner, giving the Regent's party an attitude: "What does the Regent think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers of the Regent's party leaned forward unconsciously, looking as if they were listening attentively.

The special tea offered in the palace smelled very fragrant. Nan Yingzhi didn’t know much about tea, but she just thought it was very tempting.

Although it wasn't as delicious as the one in the palace, Nan Yingzhi still couldn't help but drink it down mouthful after mouthful.

When the cup was almost empty, it was finally her turn to speak.

Not only did Nan Yingzhi not disappoint Yun Ting, she also performed exceptionally well. With her sonorous and resounding speeches, her patriotism was fully demonstrated.

Many civil officials with low tear points could not help but burst into tears when they heard her talk about displacement.

Although he wondered why the usually serious Regent was so emotional today, Yun Ting was extremely satisfied with her performance.

He then named a few ministers from the Regent's party, and as expected, he was told that "the Regent is absolutely right."

Although they followed the Regent's lead, at least the Regent shared the same political views as them.

Yun Ting was in a good mood after getting a favorable response. He symbolically asked the neutral party hidden in the royalist party and the regent party: "Regarding the matter of sending troops, do you have any objections?"

The Golden Palace was so unusually quiet that one could hear the breeze blowing outside.

Everyone was silent in tacit agreement. After all, the powerful regent had already spoken, so sending troops was a foregone conclusion, right?

It's just that the chief general and the deputy general, I don't know who will fall next...

Nan Yi instinctively felt that the opportunity had come, and he was eager to give it a try.

His daughter had been in the palace for some time, but was still just a little beauty. He thought about it and always felt that it was because of his low rank that he had delayed his daughter's promotion.

This time, he must seize the opportunity, try to please the emperor, work hard to win more battles, and promote his official position.

A slow and unhurried voice suddenly came out in a discordant voice, interrupting Yun Ting's words "Then let's start to determine the commander now": "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
