"Yes." Huo Feng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and entered the room.
Bing Lanyue had long exterminated all the traps. With so many experts present, even if the emperor wanted to exterminate them, he would have to resort to the imperial guards, imperial guards or even Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim.
"Please take a seat. I've been busy the whole night. Have a drink." Bing Lanyue indicated for the chair to sit, but Huo Feng shook her head.
Bing Lanyue laughed: "It's alright, here, there's no restriction. As time passes, you will know about me, Bing Lanyue."
Huo Feng frowned slightly, and asked: "Then why didn't First Miss create a hand grenade to help Young Master earlier? If all of National Duke’s Mansion s above or below are equipped with sharp weapons, even if they brazenly rebel, there will still be a small chance of success. "
Bing Lanyue knew that Huo Feng still held some prejudice against her, but she had no other choice.
She, who had just arrived in this world, wanted to settle this matter and live a peaceful life, yet she was unexpectedly involved in so many things. She did not want to, and was not willing to do something that would take someone's life.
In his subconscious, it was perfectly justified for him to pay his debt with his life.
She originally thought that watching so many movies on television was a waste of time on life and death, but now she realized that even though this era was only the era of the cold weapons, she was surrounded by living people with blood, flesh, and thought.
It had already been half a month since the Beijing Explosion. Minister Yun was not angry at the attack on his own property. In this half month, his family business had suffered serious damage.
Imagine, if you were a customer, would you go shopping in a dangerous place?
West Market's business was still booming. At any time, no one would make it difficult for them to do business.
However, Red Dust Inn's business was not very good, and the nobles who came here to taste delicious food slowly decreased in number. After all, this was only a place to eat, and there were no girls accompanying them.
The price was still so expensive, so the Red Dust Inn business was deserted. Other than the Prince Yi and a few other nobles that came occasionally, the rest came here as soon as night fell.
Of course, the reason why the Emperor came here was for the imperial examinations that Bing Lanyue had talked about.
Bing Lanyue opened a wine shop, which specialized in selling alcohol, and the heavy taste of the alcohol won a few unambitious generals from Ministry Of War. This time, she did not fall into their eyes, but had raised the price of the alcohol by two times, and of course, the method to brew alcohol was done by Dark Guard who was working under him back in the days when she was in the General's Estate.
Bing Lanyue's remaining shops had all opened one after another. Cheng Maohua had to run through the Red Dust Inn at least once a day, and Bing Lanyue was very clear that this guy was definitely thinking about his job.
"Brother Cheng, why are you here so early today?" Just as Bing Lanyue got up and went downstairs, he saw Cheng Maohua already standing in front of the counter, with a smile on her face as she faced the ice-cold Nian Qiu.
Nian Qiu and Meng Xia, one had a face full of smiles, the other was smiling like flowers. Unfortunately for them, Meng Xia had gone next door to the rice store to help, so Young Master Cheng could only talk to Nian Qiu without saying a word.
Young Master Cheng felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Miss Bing was like looking at a fire from an icehouse.
"Hehe, it's fine. I'm here to deliver some rice grains to the shop beside us. I'm here to greet you." Cheng Maohua chuckled.
Bing Lanyue saw that he was clearly anxious, yet she acted as if nothing had happened and sent some goods to the grain store. Was there really a need to trouble the dignified Young Master Cheng to come personally?
"Oh, oh." Bing Lanyue nodded and said: "I was just about to eat breakfast, did you eat, Brother Cheng?"
Cheng Maohua went to the warehouse early in the morning to direct the movement of the food, and he truly did not eat anything, causing his stomach to rumble with hunger. However, when he looked at the price list behind Nian Qiu, he swallowed his saliva and said: It's not urgent, or urgent, we'll eat together when all the subordinates have been moved, hehe, it's not urgent at all.
Bing Lanyue was overjoyed in her heart. She pursed her lips, nodded her head while holding back her laughter, and then, Nian Qiu brought a bowl of porridge, a few buns, and a dish of pickled vegetables from the kitchen.
"Sister Bing is really frugal, eating this little at breakfast?" Cheng Maohua was no longer interested in the dishes, he did not want this kind of food anymore.
Bing Lanyue said helplessly: "Sigh, in need of money, look at me, when I open my eyes, I already have so many subordinates who want to drink and eat medicine, I think it's better to save a bit."
As she spoke, she sipped the porridge and continued to eat her pickled vegetables.
After he slowly finished his meal, Cheng Maohua asked anxiously: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Bing Lanyue nodded as if it was a matter of course, and said: "Yeah, I've been busy recently, so I'm really busy now, and later I still have to go to the imperial palace to chat with the emperor. Ai, busy?"
Emperor? Cheng Maohua did not doubt that Bing Lanyue going to the palace was real or fake, and it had already spread around the capital. There were rumors that the emperor was very interested in the young miss of the Bing family, and he even stayed inside his Red Dust Inn for a long time on the day of Prince Yi's wedding.
Everyone was talking about the rumours about how Bing Ling was taken care of by His Majesty. Cheng Maohua nodded and said, "About that, Sister Bing is about my position of a thousand families. What Brother Zhang Xu is about to arrive today, when we meet again …? "
Hearing that, Bing Lanyue's heart tensed, and she said in her heart: Zhang Xu is back? Was Monarch Moli important? Are you safe? For a moment, Bing Lanyue was somewhat at a loss.
"Sister Bing? Sister Bing? " Cheng Maohua called out to Bing Lanyue softly.
Bing Lanyue finally reacted, seeing her anxious expression, she suddenly said: "Relax, relax, there's nothing wrong. I will immediately enter the palace, isn't that just the job of a thousand man captains, if possible, I will take care of it."
After she finished speaking, Bing Lanyue was about to leave, but she was stopped by Cheng Maohua.
"What? You don't want Patriarch Wan?" Bing Lanyue was anxious to confirm whether Monarch Moli was still alive, so she couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Cheng Maohua was startled, then he scratched the back of his head and laughed: "How can that be, the Patriarch is naturally good, I only wanted to say that there is still a vacancy for the Patriarch in the Left Guard Army, and a few thousand for the Patriarch in the Right Army."
"I understand. Goodbye." Bing Lanyue rushed out of the door, mounted on her horse and rushed straight to the palace.
Xuanyuan Jin looked coldly at his birth mother. The current empress dowager was huffing and puffing as she glared at the frail yet stubborn and upright emperor below her.
"Emperor!" Officials are the backbone of the entire Great Ling Dynasty, if you use a large scale Imperial Examinations, the whole world will be thrown into chaos! " Her Majesty's tone was somewhat unkind.
Xuanyuan Jin bowed slightly and said, "As for the matters of the imperial harem, I am afraid that my mother's power is insufficient. Since the position of Empress is vacant, mother will settle the matter for my son.
Xuanyuan Jin's words made the empress dowager anxious. She had expended great effort to strip away all of the Empress Dowager's authority, but never thought that her own son would treat him like this.
Xuanyuan Jin coldly looked at the Imperial Concubine Yun beside the empress dowager. "From now on, the imperial harem will look like a harem. Don't extend your two beloved concubines' hands too long."
Imperial Concubine Li did not say anything, nor did she have any expression. On the other hand, Imperial Concubine Yun gulped down her saliva, her eyes unexpectedly filled with fear.
Outside the palace, a gatekeeper hurried over and said softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Bing Ling requests to see you, he is already outside the Audience Hall."
Xuanyuan Jin nodded, and said: "Understood."
Finished speaking, Xuanyuan Jin bowed slightly, and left the Palace, he looked at the palace filled with armored soldiers, and suddenly thought of what Bing Ling had once said: Since ancient times, there have always been Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim and the imperial guards, if the power was not in his hands, then he would be at the mercy of others.
"Pass down, all five thousand elite Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim soldiers are to enter the Imperial Palace, and the imperial guards are to defend the Imperial City." Xuanyuan Jin intentionally glanced at the palace maid that was standing outside of Ci Ning Palace.
The Imperial City's mobilization of elite troops terrified the ministers. Those with brains knew that something big was going to happen in the Imperial Palace, but the Imperial City's confinement made the ministers unable to understand what was going on inside.
However, it was said that after the morning assembly, the eldest daughter of the General Zhenwei, Bing Lanyue, had entered the palace. Not long later, the imperial palace was fortified and no one was allowed to enter.
All of a sudden, the princes and officials started to wonder what the king was doing.
Bing Lanyue stood outside the Audience Hall, seeing that there was suddenly an additional Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim outside the Audience Hall, she could not help but frown, but she was currently thinking about Monarch Moli's life and death, how could she control if there were too many Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim or not?
"Heh heh, my brain is here. Please come in." Xuanyuan Jin felt a wave of comfort in his heart. The feeling of having the power in his hands was too good, he had never felt so good before.
Both joy, anger and sorrow are national policies.
The two of them entered the Audience Hall, and Xuanyuan Jin said: "The officials system has already been implemented, and the officials who can be promoted later will be officials, and no matter how capable they are, they will still be officials. "Oh, Bing Ling, I really can't see through you, what's in your little brain."
Saying that, Xuanyuan Jin patted his chest lightly.
Bing Lanyue frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the fact that a descendant of a noble family controlling the affairs of the imperial court is probably not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. His Majesty still has to possess some military strength. "
Xuanyuan Jin squinted his eyes and laughed: "Do you want to contribute to the people in the Jun residence?"
When she said this, Bing Lanyue nearly went limp on the ground in fright, while her heart thumped incessantly.
Does he know? What did he know? Did he know about what happened a month ago?
Bing Lanyue swallowed her saliva as she stared straight at Xuanyuan Jin.
"Don't be afraid, we received such a huge favor from you, we should have investigated the massacre of the Bing Family to the end. Yesterday, we just found out that this was done by the Imperial Concubine Yun, and the Yun Family must have participated in it. Our mountains, our lives have always been part of these people's plans. Hehe, Bing Ling, you did well." Xuanyuan Jin's tone was extremely calm, as if he was talking about some insignificant matter.
Bing Lanyue's heart skipped a beat as she said, "Does Your Majesty have any ideas, such as a firearm battalion?"
Xuanyuan Jin was speechless. In the last battle with the Qiuyun Nation, the use of gunpowder had caused the knights of the Qiuyun Nation to fall into a calamity of annihilation. Xuanyuan Jin had been slightly moved.
Xuanyuan Jin was very clear about the details of the battle, and the situation at the Ministry Of War.
"That's right, I forgot to tell you, the leader of the myriad households that escorted the auxiliary country has returned. This is a letter from the auxiliary country's patriarch." Xuanyuan Jin didn't say anything to Bing Lanyue's suggestion. Instead, he took out a letter from his chest pocket.
Bing Lanyue's heart tightened, Monarch Moli actually sent a letter?
She snatched the letter away as if she didn't mind Xuanyuan Jin's snicker at the side.
The letter did not say anything, it was only informing him that everything was fine, and even asked Bing Lanyue to take care of herself. There was nothing else in the letter, after Bing Lanyue finished reading, she smiled and said: "Thank you, your majesty."
Xuanyuan Jin waved his hand, and said: "No need, you have already helped me a lot, but I still need your help, are you willing?"
Bing Lanyue slightly raised her head and asked: "What benefits are there?"
Benefits? Propose favors to the king? Xuanyuan Jin was startled, then laughed: "Whatever you want, I can get it for you!?"
