The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

Shen Jingli sat on the rosewood chair and played with his fingers. All the ministers had arrived, but Qin Yejue was not coming, so the court could not be held.

"The Regent has arrived."

After hearing the eunuch's message, Shen Jingli supported his chin with his hand and yawned silently.

Qin Yejue looked at the listless Shen Jingli, grabbed her wrist and led her to the dragon throne.

"Eh…?"

When Shen Jingli reacted, she was already sitting on the dragon throne, and Qin Yejue... was sitting on the rosewood chair?

Perhaps because she had been oppressed by Qin Yejue for too long, she felt uncomfortable all over after sitting on the dragon throne and didn't even know where to put her hands.

Shen Jingli asked in a low voice: "Qin...Qin Yejue? Are you okay?"

"I will return the dragon throne to you."

“…???”

"I was wrong before, I won't do that again."

"!??!"

The ministers were dumbfounded, hardly able to believe what they heard.

The Regent took the initiative to give up his position? !

He even apologized to the Emperor?!

and so…

How did the little emperor serve the regent? How could he tame the once madman into this state in such a short time?!

Awesome, really awesome!!

It turns out that being cowardly, weak, and an idiot is just the little emperor's protective coloration.

Who could have thought that he would actually use his beauty to win over the Regent? He had figured out how to save the country in a roundabout way!

The young emperor had endured hardships for more than two years, and now he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. This is a brilliant plan! !

……

Shen Jingli always felt that the looks from the ministers were very strange. She wasn't the one, so why were they all looking at her?

So embarrassing...

Shen Jingli rubbed her hands uncomfortably. She asked hurriedly, "Um... do you have anything to report? If not, please leave the court."

Minister of Rites Gu Wenzhe was the first to come back to his senses. He stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, Regent, the ruler of Xuerui and the envoy have set off for Dayuan."

The Xue Rui Kingdom and the Sang Tribe have always been at odds with each other. Now the Sang Tribe is ready to make a move. Taking advantage of its geographical advantage, it has repeatedly provoked the soldiers of Xixu City, but has not officially started a war.

Some time ago, General Gao went to Xixu City to suppress the arrogance of the Sang people. The King of Xuerui Kingdom came to Dayuan at this time, probably to show friendship.

Shen Jingli: "All matters concerning their arrival in the capital must be arranged in advance and must not be neglected."

"Yes, I will make sure that everything is properly arranged. Once they arrive in Beijing, they can rest in the post house and wait for the emperor to summon them."

"Well, is there any news from Xixu City recently?"

Shi Langying, the Minister of War, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is news from Xixu City that among the soldiers guarding the border every day, there are always three or five people who have numbness in their limbs. General Gao guessed that these symptoms are caused by poisoning, but no matter how the military doctors checked, they said that they were not poisoned."

"Now, the cause of the soldier's illness is still unknown, and the military doctors have no way to treat it. The soldiers guarding the city are in fear all day long. If this continues for a long time, the morale of the army may be shaken."

Shen Jingli looked solemn. How could such a strange thing happen?

Every day, several soldiers guarding the city suffered from numbness in their hands and feet, and even the military doctors could not find any problems...

If someone could really poison someone without anyone noticing, and we couldn't even find out what the poison was, then there would be no need to think about detoxification.

Shen Jingli: "Since the military doctors can't find the cause, let's send the injured soldiers back to the capital first."

“They are already on their way back and forth.”

Originally, Dayuan had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Sang tribe, but now the soldiers defending the city are experiencing numbness in their limbs one after another.

In this case, I am in the open while the enemy is in the dark. I am afraid that the wind direction will change...

"When the wounded return to the capital, send them to the Imperial Hospital for treatment immediately. Tell me as soon as possible. Also, arrange for soldiers to go to Xiwei for support immediately to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Your Majesty, mobilizing troops requires the approval of His Royal Highness the Regent."

Shen Jingli looked at Qin Yejue: "King..."

"Sure." Qin Yejue agreed before he finished speaking.

"He's right. Let's make arrangements quickly. We must not let the people of Xixu City and the soldiers stationed there get frightened."

Qin Yejue opened his thin lips and asked, "How many soldiers does the emperor plan to send?"

"What do you think?"

Gu Sichen suddenly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I dare to recommend myself to lead 30,000 soldiers to Xixu to investigate the enemy situation. If a war really breaks out, I will defend Xixu City to the death."

Isn’t Gu Sichen a civil official?

How can a mere scholar know how to lead troops?

Shen Jingli asked doubtfully, "Does Lord Gu also understand the art of war?"

Shi Langying, the Minister of War, followed up on what Shen Jingli said and said, "Your Majesty, the former general Luo Shanhe was a good friend of Minister Gu. He once fought for Dayuan and unfortunately broke a leg."

Shi Langying sighed softly and continued, "Since then, General Luo has been disheartened and unhappy all day long. Fortunately, with the guidance of Minister Gu, his mood began to improve. General Luo once stayed in the Gu Mansion for three years. During this period, General Luo often gave advice to the young Gu Xueshi. General Luo can be regarded as half of Gu Xueshi's teacher."

Shen Jingli didn't expect this to happen. She was still a little hesitant, "...But Gu Aiqing has never led an army in battle. It's probably not appropriate to rashly lead 30,000 soldiers."

Gu Sichen: "General Gao is still in Xixu City. I will discuss with him before making any decision. I am willing to eat and sleep with the soldiers and try to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible."

Qin Yejue looked at Gu Sichen expressionlessly. He took the initiative to volunteer to go to Xixu City. Did he want to receive rewards based on his merits? No, to put it another way, he probably wanted to use his military achievements to expand his own power.

Gu Sichen wants to follow the path he has taken and openly covets the person he likes.

Humph! Let's see what else he can do.

"Just let him go."

Hearing that Qin Yejue agreed to Gu Sichen's request, Shen Jingli stopped obstructing him, "Okay, after you find out the cause of the disease, I will reward you handsomely."

"Yes, I will live up to the emperor's trust."

----

As soon as Shen Jingli got off work, she went to the fried noodle stall. When she learned that the tabloid had already started selling, she felt relieved.

Chu Beixiao is a very efficient person. He must have gone to the Ministry of Culture for review early in the morning.

Shen Jingli sat in the chair and took a sip of tea leisurely.

Seeing this, Chu Beixiao walked towards her with a smirk on his face. He handed the tabloid to Shen Jingli and said, "I saved it especially for you."

After Shen Jingli took the tabloid, Chu Beixiao went back to stir the spoon. She sipped tea while checking the contents of the newspaper.

"A man in Yuncheng quarreled with his wife and was repeatedly at a disadvantage, so he swung a knife to castrate himself. Friendly reminder: This opportunity will not come again, so be careful when swinging a knife! Don't follow suit! "

"A newlywed couple went out for a trip. The wife was bitten by a snake. The husband bravely sucked out the poisonous blood. Later, both of them were poisoned and have been in a coma ever since. Friendly reminder: If you are bitten by a snake when you are out, you must go to the doctor immediately. Love cannot cure the poison."

"A bank owner made a bet with a servant and said that if the servant was willing to lick dog shit, he would reward him with 100 taels. After the servant licked it, the bank owner refused to admit it. That night, he was beaten severely by the servant. Friendly reminder: Please know that this is the end of pretending to be dead! "

……

Shen Jingli had a smile on her face when reading the first few odd stories, but when she saw the today's hot topics framed in red ink in the middle, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

Three black lines appeared on her forehead, and she roared, "Chu Beixiao, come here, kid!!"
