Chapter 1637

54?

Looking slightly cold, Zhu Yixuan said calmly, "how many grade officials are there in the administrative department?"

"My Lord, there are 67 junior officials."

With a cold smile, Zhu Yixuan said without expression: "cabinet, who among them can stand up straight?"

"This..."

Sheng Nan hesitated and finally whispered, "no... No."

"Well, I know."

The answer to Sheng Nan was expected by Zhu Yixuan.

In this position, if you don't go along with others, you won't be able to stand firm.

With another flick of her sleeve, Zhu Yixuan said calmly, "well, go down and prepare. Act according to the plan. Don't worry. If you can't do it, tell me that someone will take your place naturally."

Sheng Nan was terrified and said: "Your Majesty, how can Sheng Nan go back now? Sheng Nan has no doubt about it. He just worries about how much influence it will bring to the Empire and how much influence it will have on his majesty... "

Zhu Yixuan interrupted Sheng Nan and said calmly, "this is not what you should consider. You are the royal guards. You are a knife in my hand. The only thing you need to do is to split the thorns in front of me. Other things will be handled by others."

For his Majesty's words, Sheng Nan's face was slightly positive, his face became firm, and he said, "yes, your majesty."

He got up and stepped back. Sheng Nan turned and walked away.

Naturally, Li Meng didn't know what Xuaner was going to do, but he also felt some unusual atmosphere. Li Meng couldn't say why.

No matter what Xuaner is going to do, the Forbidden City has not changed much. Maids and guards are still everywhere.

"Your Highness, please stay."

A sweet cry sounded behind him, which made Li Meng stop.

Looking back, in the corridor, a maid in waiting for him.

When she came to Li Meng's body, the maid of honor saluted him and said, "Your Royal Highness, the empress dowager, please."

"Empress Dowager?"

With a slightly stunned look, Li covered his face with doubts.

When will Xuaner have another mother?

Li mengke never heard from xuan'er, nor did he know from any population that there was a empress dowager in the Shenglong empire.

As if seeing the doubt on Li Meng's face, the palace maid said: "Your Highness doesn't need to doubt. Although the Empress Dowager is not the mother of her majesty, she was also a queen before her death. Her Highness is the husband of her majesty. Her Highness won't refuse her invitation."

Empress Dowager

If it's the empress dowager, you can't say "no".

Without much thought, Li Meng said to the palace maid, "lead the way."

With a little smile, the pretty maids saluted Li Meng, and said in a delicate voice: "Your Highness, please follow me."

With that, she turned around and walked softly in the corridor.

With a trace of doubt, Li Meng can only follow the maid in waiting.

The harem is still relatively large. There are countless palaces of different sizes, and these palaces are the residences of 3000 beauties in the emperor's harem. Of course, that was in the past.

Now the emperor of Shenglong empire is the empress, so the palace is idle.

Although it was idle, some of the palaces were occupied.

For example, the empress dowager, as well as the distinguished imperial concubine, will stay in the Forbidden City until they die of old age.

Li Meng thought that the palace where the Empress Dowager was located must be the best residence in the harem, but Li Meng was wrong.

He followed the maids to a shabby courtyard in a remote corner of the harem.

It can't be called a palace. It's like a low courtyard. It's dilapidated and seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

Is it really inhabited here?

Looking at the shabby courtyard in front of him, Li Meng muttered in his heart.

At this time, in front of the guide of the palace in front of a shabby door stopped, she said softly: "empress dowager, the prince's highness is coming."

"Let him in."

There was a soft, magnetic sound from the room.

The maid of honor sidled slightly and said to Li Meng, "Your Royal Highness, please."

With a trace of curiosity, Li Meng pushed the door in

Walking on the road between the palaces, Li mengruo thought.

Not long ago, he met the Empress Dowager. How to say, Li Meng didn't know much about the Empress Dowager.

However, in the communication with her, I have learned something about her identity.

She is indeed a empress dowager, a queen of the Shenglong empire.

However, her status as Queen was no longer prominent, because she had been put into the cold palace before the death of the former Emperor.

In the Forbidden City, Lenggong is not a good place. Once you enter here, you will be forgotten, even if she is a queen.

Naturally, the reason why the Empress Dowager came to him was not only to see him, but also for a purpose.

Li Meng didn't know and didn't want to know why she was put into the cold palace.

However, Li Meng did not refuse her request.

Although I don't know how many years she has been in the cold palace, she is already very old. In the face of her small request, Li Meng naturally won't refuse. As for whether she can succeed or not, it's another matter.

In that place, everyone wants to leave

Today's Forbidden City is much calmer than the previous two days. Since the sending off of foreign missions, the huge Forbidden City has gradually restored its original appearance.

Under the surveillance of the guards, teams of workers entered the Forbidden City and began to dismantle the gorgeous lamps and red curtains everywhere. The festive day is over, and some things related to it will also be dismantled.

On the surface, everything in Beiping city is back to calm, but on the surface, it is the undercurrent surging. An invisible storm is coming to Beiping. I don't know when the capital of the Empire has quietly changed.

It's night

With the deepening of the night, Peiping, the prosperous capital, also returns to tranquility.

The street is open and calm, only the streetlights faithfully carry out their responsibilities to disperse the darkness.

The cold wind blew past and disturbed several grains of dust on the road.

In the distance, the huge forbidden city stands among the lights.

Even late at night, there are guards patrolling the square outside the south gate.

Suddenly, in the quiet street, bursts of "roaring" sound up.

In the distance, at the end of the street, the glare of the light flashed, and an armored army suddenly appeared.

In the roar of the engine, the track of the tank is crushing the ground. One, two, three, huge tanks, one after another, appear from the street and approach the Forbidden City.

Looking from the sky, the army on the ground crossed several streets, and the long line stretched several kilometers away.
