Chapter 277 Undetermined Temperament
Niu Lian: "..."
Just joined half a month ago?
After Jiang Jin disappeared, not only did she look for him, but her great-grandfather also sent many servants to search for him everywhere, but they didn't find any trace of him.
My great grandfather even went to the palace in person to apologize, and it was only after the emperor comforted him and told him that Jiang Jin was safe that my great grandfather called the servants back.
"I want to join!"
“Go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it with your great grandfather. Don’t tell anyone else.
If you join Lingxiao Palace, your identity must be kept secret. Otherwise, not only will you be unable to complete your mission, you may also be eliminated by hostile forces, and your family will be implicated."
"I want to join!"
Niu Lian insisted, this is such an interesting organization, and it is the organization where Aunt Gousheng belongs, why shouldn’t she join?
"I'll go back to find my great grandfather now."
As soon as Niu Lian left, a black-robed man wearing a cloud mask appeared beside Jiang Yu, "Are you planning to take Niu Lian into Lingxiao Palace?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yu nodded, "Once General Niu knows the significance of the existence of Lingxiao Palace, he will be more confident in assisting His Majesty. This will make them feel more at ease than a marriage."
"You don't like Niu Lian?"
"My personality is not yet determined, so I can't complement Xiao Jin. We'll see after some practice. By the way, what about the people outside the boutique?"
"He is being held by the Royal Guards, waiting to be interrogated by His Majesty himself after he wakes up."
"Go and have a look first. Ji Wan'er's master might be in there. This person is the culprit who deceived Ji Wan'er and assassinated His Majesty."
"it is good."
……
The emperor fell ill, and some well-informed ministers in the court began to make plans in their hearts.
The reason why the emperor "fell ill" was that he went out of the palace to relax and have fun, and his whereabouts were discovered by someone.
If His Majesty had a queen or concubine, he would not need to leave the palace to relax.
So when Shen Gurui recovered and the court meeting continued, all the court officials requested the emperor to select a beauty.
"Draft?"
Shen Gurui looked at the court officials who had ulterior motives and sneered, "Do you think the monogamy I promulgated is a joke?
If anyone dares to say one more word about the selection of concubines, I will send all the concubines in his family to the soldiers in the army, so that they can set an example in implementing monogamy."
All the court officials shut up immediately.
Even if the concubines in the family are old and ugly, they are still their women. How can they send them away to become pawns?
They don't want to be green-headed turtles.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
Apart from the emperor selecting a beauty for his concubine, nothing major happened in the court.
The current situation is peaceful and prosperous. Any disaster is prevented in the early stage. Even if it is not prevented in place, it will be properly handled by local officials in the early stage.
This group of people are almost sick from being idle. It's no wonder that the emperor often goes out.
"Since there is nothing else to report, I will issue you a work schedule.
There is one day off every five days. On the fifth and tenth days of the month, there is a day off on the 29th. In months without the 30th, there is a day off on the 29th.
Every day, the court session starts at noon and ends at noon. Anyone who deliberately delays the court session will be left behind to clean the court hall."
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
All the court officials bowed down excitedly.
Who wouldn't be happy if they were paid wages and their working hours were shortened?
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
……
Shen Gurui went directly to the palace where Ji Wan'er was.
"Cousin Wan'er, how is your recovery going?"
Ji Wan'er: "..."
The person who was stabbed in the heart by her was not only fine, but also came to care about her injuries every day.
Shen Gurui: "..."
The Master said that the chance of his heart being on the right side was one in a million.
"Cousin Wan'er, are you still blaming me?" "No."
Ji Wan'er looked outside the palace and said, "Cousin, I want to go home."
Shen Gurui: "..."
Come back home?
His family and his cousin's family were both destroyed by the Aisin tribe. Where is their home?
"Cousin Wan'er, are you bored staying in this palace? Then I'll take you out of the palace to relax!"
"You don't need to bring it."
Ji Wan'er said softly, "Just send someone to accompany me, you can accompany my cousin's wife!"
"Let's go!"
Shen Gurui took Ji Wan'er's wrist and walked out, "You don't have a cousin's wife. There are only some eunuchs and maids in this huge palace. I don't like staying in the palace either."
Shen Gurui took Ji Wan'er to a farm in the suburbs, which he had specially built.
Grasslands, rivers, and tents perfectly present the scenery of the Jurchens.
“Cousin Wan’er, I have only been here twice since this place was built, including this time.
What I want to build is a home, but now that my family is gone, staying here will only make me feel pain and sadness.
Now that I have you, when I step into this place again, I feel sad but also satisfied.
You are my only relative, cousin, are you willing to marry me and be my queen? "
"I do not want to!"
Ji Wan'er, who was immersed in the familiar scenery, came back to her senses with hatred in her eyes, "You are a lackey of the Han Dynasty and you destroyed our entire Jurchens. I hate you so much that I can't wait to marry you."
"I do not have."
Shen Gurui hurriedly explained, "Except for Aixin and Nur, I did not destroy other tribes, I just let them blend into the Han.
The reason why we Jurchens wanted to invade the Central Plains was because we were forced by life.
If I let them learn Chinese culture and assimilate into Chinese culture, wouldn't that have already achieved the purpose of the war? Why must they occupy it completely?
The Central Plains is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and being able to blend into it would be the best outcome."
"I don't listen! I don't listen!"
Ji Wan'er covered her ears and shook her head, "You have been completely sinicized. Your thoughts and courage have all been sinicized. You are not my cousin Rui, you are not!"
……
The next day, after breakfast, a group of palace maids moved some strange and peculiar things into the palace where Ji Wan'er lived.
The rose-masked woman appeared again, and after fumbling around with these strange things for a while, a voice and a human figure suddenly appeared in a strange-looking "box".
The palace maids and eunuchs were driven out, and the woman with the rose mask pressed Ji Wan'er's shoulders and forced her to look at the portrait in the "box".
"Woooooooo..."
It only took Ji Wan'er a cup of tea for her to go from being unwilling to crying sadly.
The 'box' went dark, but her crying didn't stop.
"Ji Wan'er, where exactly is the hatred among the races?"
"I was wrong, wuwuwu..."
Ji Wan'er, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, made people want to hug her and pity her, and someone did hug her.
"Cousin Wan'er, this is my goal. I want to make our country strong, invade them, enslave them, and make them bow down to me.
But all these take time. It takes time for a country to become strong and it takes time for the people to become strong.
I'm afraid I don't have enough time, and I'm even more afraid of walking this road alone. Are you willing to accompany me?"
"I am willing."
Ji Wan'er raised her head, her beautiful face showing determination, "I'll accompany you. I believe my cousin can do it."
……
The emperor married a commoner girl, and the court officials wanted to object, but the emperor insisted on his own way and warned them,
"If you dare to meddle in my family affairs, I will meddle in your family affairs."
The court officials wanted to fill the harem with their own women.
The emperor warned them again, "You dare to fill my harem. Not to mention violating the monogamy I promulgated, you will also be punished by me. Can you bear my revenge?"
The court officials: "..."
Their emperor was the most stubborn and threatening emperor in all dynasties.
