Jun Wuxie was speechless.
Is this action a little unrestrained?
He actually placed his slender jade feet on a man's chest.
Fortunately, he is a gentleman and stays calm.
He stood up to dry his clothes with blood and walked around the screen.
A rustling sound came from behind.
Not long after, Emperor Lanling put on his clothes and walked out.
When Jun Wuxie turned around, he happened to see her shaking her wet long hair, and a few droplets of water flew over and splashed on his face.
I have to say that Emperor Lanling looked very beautiful just after taking a bath.
She is naturally stunningly beautiful, has a hot figure, and has the nobility and aura of a superior woman. She is exactly the type of domineering royal sister.
Of course, this did not cause any ripples in Jun Wuxie's heart.
He just looked at it with admiration.
Emperor Lanling used zhenqi to dry his black hair, then walked to the bed and sat down.
"Feng Ling, come in."
she shouted in a fake deep voice.
Soon, the heroic woman holding a sword walked into the inner room.
At a glance, he saw the little eunuch standing properly in the room, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
A clanging sound.
The sword was unsheathed and instantly placed on Jun Wuxie's neck.
"Swords have no eyes. Leader Feng Wei had better put away his weapons."
Jun Wuxie said calmly, holding the sword between his two fingers and moving away.
"Your Majesty, this little eunuch cannot be kept!"
Feng Ling did not sheath her sword, she was very puzzled.
This little eunuch already knew that His Majesty was a girl, but His Majesty didn't seem to have any reaction to this. Instead of killing him, he let him stand here properly.
"Feng Ling put away his sword, he is not from King Lanling."
Emperor Lanling immediately told the matter.
Feng Ling was surprised after hearing this.
Since the little eunuch in front of her had his back turned to her, she didn't see his appearance.
Immediately, she took a few steps forward and came to the front. When she saw his face, she couldn't help but be startled, her eyes gradually softened, and she even seemed a little absent-minded.
Is this the double champion on the Heavenly Temple list?
It really looks exactly like the photo on the list.
A man whose appearance can be reflected by Heaven alone shows that he must be extraordinary, otherwise how would he be treated differently by Heaven.
Whether it was Feng Ling or Emperor Lanling, the reason why their attitudes changed after knowing Jun Wuxie's identity was not because he was a double champion.
They won't pay attention to the town and county competitions at all.
In a competition of that level, so what if we were crowned double champions.
However, it is definitely not simple for a person to be specially mentioned by Heaven.
"Feng Ling, he will be my personal bodyguard from now on.
No third person can know his true identity. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng Ling was Emperor Lanling's confidant and was very loyal to her.
The relationship between them is that of sisters in private.
"Go and get the belt badge and the uniform of a first-class royal guard yourself."
Feng Ling retreated after hearing this.
"Your Majesty the Queen, does the royal family have a higher-grade and faster divine ark?"
“I don’t know what you mean by faster speed.
However, the royal family has a divine ark that is faster than the half-step god's full power burst.
There are not many, there are only two ships in total. "
"One ship is enough. After all, I am too busy to leave the imperial capital."
"What do you want a divine ark of that level?"
Queen Lanling was puzzled.
"Of course I will help you with money and resources.
The Minister of Hubu should be a member of King Lanling, right? "
"Yes, the Minister of Hubu was personally promoted by King Lanling, and he is his confidant."
Jun Wuxie said: "So, in order to solve the problem of the national treasury deficit, we not only need to obtain money and resources, but also need to replace the people in charge of the household department.
Otherwise, even if the national treasury is filled, the financial resources of the treasury will soon be transferred to the pockets of the Lanling Palace by the Minister of Household Affairs in various ways. "
"This is difficult to do. King Lanling will never agree to change the Ministry of Household Affairs, and no one in the court dares to take over the position of Minister of Household Affairs."
“No one in the DPRK dares to take over, but I can do the same.
Her Majesty the Queen can take advantage of the situation when King Lanling is causing trouble.
For example, plagues, border wars, etc. Once they use this to ask you to allocate funds, you can use this to blame the Minister of Household Affairs and ask him why the treasury is always empty.
Although many expenditures in the treasury have clear accounts.
However, as the confidant of King Lanling, the Minister of Hubu must have some shady activities.
As long as the accounts of these years are compared, no matter how good they are, they will still find flaws. "
Emperor Lanling was silent and let out a sigh, "So what if we find the evidence, if we take away the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it is impossible for Emperor Lanling to agree to let you hold the post concurrently.
Besides, you are my imperial bodyguard, and if you suddenly take the post of Minister of Household Affairs, there will definitely be complaints in the court. "
"Whoever is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue speaks for himself based on his strength.
Isn’t the treasury empty?
At that time, Her Majesty the Queen will force the Minister of Household Affairs to find a way to come up with financial resources.
I will cooperate with Her Majesty the Queen and let the Minister of Revenue and Prince Lanling make a promise in public.
As long as I can solve the problem, there's nothing they can say.
Unless King Lanling breaks up with you directly. "
"Can you really solve the problem of the national treasury deficit?"
The Queen was still a little unbelievable, that was not a small amount.
"It should be okay. How much is the national treasury's deficit now?"
Queen Lanling thought for a while and seemed to be organizing her words.
Then she said: "The currency used by our Lanling Dynasty is called Lanling coins. The maximum face value is one hundred silver, and the minimum face value is one broken silver. One silver is equal to ten broken silver. They are all issued banknotes.
One thousand silver can provide the minimum standard of food and clothing for a family of three for a month.
The national treasury is now in deficit of tens of billions. To fill the emptiness of the treasury, at least hundreds of billions will be needed in reserve.
Moreover, even if the national treasury has hundreds of billions, it cannot last long.
There are too many items of expenditure. "
"It does seem to be a huge number, but for a dynasty, this number is actually nothing.
According to normal taxation, even if it is a light tax, given the size of the dynasty, it can collect tens of trillions of silver a year.
However, nine times out of ten, this tax revenue cannot enter the national treasury, and most of it goes to the Lanling Palace. "
Queen Lanling nodded and said: "It is indeed as you said, the national treasury can only receive several trillions every year.
The dynasty spent a lot of money and owed hundreds of billions at the end of each year.
Now there are still three months before the end of the year, and the national treasury is already tens of billions in deficit.
All expenditures in the next few months will have to be supported by the issuance of government bonds.
Although I am the head of the dynasty, I am also the poorest person in the world. "
Empress Lanling laughed at herself.
"In such a huge dynasty, the people are far richer than the treasury. Of course they are not ordinary people, I am referring to those forces.
They have been passed down through the ages and their accumulation of wealth must be staggering.
Even though they don't have much cash and silver, their treasure trove of resources is astonishing, and if they are cashed out at any time, it will be an astonishing number. "
“Having said that, how could those forces willingly take it out?
Moreover, most of the power of the dynasty was backed by the Lanling Palace. "
Jun Wuxie did not respond to this question, but said: "Is the Ministry of Industry also under the control of the Lanling Palace?"
"The three ministers, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, are all members of King Lanling.
Although the emperor's people have high official positions in the three departments, they are suppressed by the minister, have no voice, and have no real power. They have long been ignored.
Now you know how difficult it is for this emperor.
Do you still have confidence that you can help me solve these problems? "
“The problem is not big, there is a plan to defeat it.
There's no rush, let's take our time and start from the household department.
Just believe that I can help you solve any problem. "
After hearing this, Queen Lanling said, "Can you really help me solve any problem?"
"Of course, I will never break my promise. You can trust me."
"It just so happens that I have a problem that I can't solve today and I need your help."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Tonight, you go to consummate the marriage with the queen on my behalf."
"What?"
Jun Wuxie was stunned. He had never heard such an absurd and excessive request.
His facial muscles twitched slightly.
"I told you to consummate your marriage with the queen.
This matter is no small matter, you must help me, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed smoothly. "
Queen Lanling said that the queen was the daughter of King Lanling, named Xiao Ruoqing.
In fact, Xiao Ruoqing was arranged by Prince Lanling to test her.
King Lanling suspected that she was a girl.
Xiao Ruoqing has been canonized as queen for several years, but she has never spent a night in the queen's palace.
Xiao Ruoqing had already suspected it, and Prince Lanling was even more suspicious.
Precisely because King Lanling had almost confirmed it in his heart, he was already secretly preparing to rebel.
"If we don't stabilize Xiao Ruoqing now and dispel Prince Lanling's suspicion, once he raises his troops to rebel, we won't even have any room for maneuver.
So, if you say you want to help me, you first need to gain time and space.
Don't worry, Xiao Ruoqing is the most beautiful woman in the country and is known as the most beautiful woman in the Lanling Dynasty. She is charming and charming. This woman is naturally charming and will not let you down. "
“I didn’t mean that, I meant that I am a very traditional person.
This is not good. "
Jun Wuxie was speechless. He never thought that Queen Lanling would let him do such a thing.
I never thought that I would have to sacrifice my appearance to help Queen Lanling.
"Is it possible to use mental will to control Xiao Ruoqing?"
Jun Wuxie really didn't want to sacrifice her appearance because of this.
Even though Empress Lanling swore that Xiao Ruoqing was the most beautiful woman in the dynasty, how beautiful she was.
"No, King Lanling planted a spiritual brand in Xiao Ruoqing's body in order to prevent the royal god from using secret methods to mentally control him.
If it is mentally controlled, the spiritual imprint will collapse, and King Lanling will sense it immediately.
Furthermore, Prince Lanling often visited Xiao Ruoqing. They were father and daughter, how could he not understand his daughter.
No matter how clever the control method is, as a father, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not see the problem. "
Jun Wuxie fell silent.
What is this?
King Lanling can no longer use such methods as his scriptures on saving people.
The main reason is that there is no guarantee that it will not be noticed by King Lanling.
Even the slightest possibility must be eliminated.
Otherwise, the last doubts in King Lanling's heart will disappear, and he will probably spread the word that the emperor is a daughter and build momentum like crazy.
By then, Queen Lanling will not be able to prove that she is a man, and King Lanling may directly rebel.
He always believed that he should be able to solve anything in the Lanling Dynasty.
But now, he couldn't solve this matter.
There was a way to solve it, but he just didn't want to do it.
But now there seems to be no other choice.
"Why does it seem like you are wronged? Xiao Ruoqing has conquered the country and the city. The emperor gave such a beauty to you to enjoy. You have taken a huge advantage, okay?"
"Can I not go?"
Jun Wuxie smiled bitterly.
“No, you have to go, unless you want to break your promise.
Who just said that everything can be solved?
Don’t forget, you made a promise. How can you go back on what you promised me? "
Jun Wuxie was suddenly unable to refute.
…
At the same time, in the courtyard of a certain inn in the Imperial City.
Jing Yaci looked sulky.
"Nalan Jingyi, you actually asked my husband to sacrifice his appearance!"
She was a little angry, almost too much.
Thinking that I was here alone waiting for him to come back, but he ended up going to another woman's gentle home at night.
And that woman was someone he had never met before.
"As the world says, men are all big pigs!"
She was so angry that she didn't look like Heavenly Dao who was in charge of the rules of the world.
Then, she showed an inexplicable smile.
That Xiao Ruoqing was miserable, she might be tortured into something like that.
Not sure what she was thinking of, Jing Yaci spat lightly and blushed.
…
It was completely dark.
Feng Ling brought the waist badge and clothing of a first-class imperial guard.
However, she saw that His Majesty was personally changing Mr. Jun's clothes, and he was actually wearing a dragon robe, which made her stunned and stunned on the spot.
"Feng Ling, come here and see if it looks like him."
Queen Lanling said and asked Jun Wuxie to turn around.
Feng Ling, who was already shocked, was stunned.
"It's so similar. It's almost the same. It's hard to tell. Even the breath is exactly the same."
Feng Ling was amazed.
Young Master Jun has transformed into His Majesty, and he can completely look like the real one.
She knew that His Majesty would definitely let him deal with the Queen.
Although this matter seems absurd, there is no solution.
Otherwise, King Lanling won't be able to delay it for too long.
"Feng Ling, please accompany Mr. Jun."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng Ling and Jun Wuxie left Emperor Lanling's palace.
He walked in front, Feng Ling behind, secretly using his spiritual thoughts to guide him.
In Emperor Lanling's palace, she put on a set of eunuch's clothes, changed her appearance in front of the mirror, and then sat motionless in front of the mirror.
About half an hour later, she quietly left the palace and headed towards Queen Xiao Ruoqing's palace.
Feng Ling was standing guard outside the queen's palace and drank all the maids away.
He saw a little eunuch coming and was about to scold him, but saw the little eunuch wink at him.
She immediately recognized that it was His Majesty in disguise.
Emperor Lanling made a silent gesture and walked lightly to the front of the palace.
"How about it?"
She asked Feng Ling with her spiritual thoughts.
Feng Ling shook his head slightly, saying that after he entered, there was talk inside at first, but then there was no sound, and until now there is no movement.
"He won't really use the secret mind control technique on Xiao Ruoqing, right?"
Queen Lanling became worried.
She couldn't help but stepped forward and peeked inside through the crack in the door.
When he saw the scene in front of the bed in the palace, his delicate body trembled suddenly.
Immediately, she turned around quickly, her face instantly turning red as blood.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Ling was surprised by His Majesty's reaction, and she could feel His Majesty's heart beating so fast.
Out of curiosity, she also peeked inside through the crack in the door.
Upon seeing this, she immediately had the same reaction as Empress Lanling. She turned around instantly, her entire expression dull.
"How could they do this? The queen actually..."
Feng Ling looked at Queen Lanling, the two looked at each other, and then suddenly looked away.
Queen Lanling was not at ease and accompanied Feng Ling to guard outside the queen's palace.
It was relatively quiet inside, but half an hour later, there was movement in the palace.
It was the sound of the queen crying intermittently.
Their hearts trembled. Mr. Jun didn't want to torture the queen, right?
Xiao Ruoqing is the daughter of Prince Lanling. If she is injured, how can Prince Lanling let it go?
As they thought this way, they felt more and more miserable that the Queen was crying.
The whole process continued until the second half of the night.
Queen Lanling and Feng Ling wanted to see it but didn't dare.
The scene just now had an unparalleled impact on them.
"I'm leaving, you stay here..."
Queen Lanling left in a hurry at the fourth watch.
Feng Ling felt uncomfortable listening to the sounds inside alone.
I don't know why, but I feel my heartbeat speeding up, my body feels weak, and my limbs are weak.
In the distance, several palace maids were hiding in the dark and watching quietly.
At the fifth watch, a palace maid quietly left the palace and went to Prince Lanling's Mansion to inform her of the situation here.
The next morning, all the ministers were waiting in the court hall, but they were told that His Majesty had caught a cold and would not go to court today.
The officials were stunned.
Your Majesty is a practitioner, how could he be infected with the cold?
"Well, since His Majesty is in ill health, please step aside and wait until you have something to do. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
King Lanling spoke, and the ministers hurriedly responded and left one after another.
At this time, the chief eunuch came up and first saluted King Lanling, and then whispered: "Your Majesty visited the Queen last night and has not come out of the Queen's palace until now."
"Is this serious?"
King Lanling looks forty-five years old, with a beard, a majestic face, particularly sharp eyes, and a strong aura.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the chief eunuch trembled involuntarily and said hurriedly: "It's absolutely true. We don't dare to talk nonsense in front of King Lanling."
"Eunuch, please follow me to the queen's palace to have a look."
After saying this, King Lanling walked away.
The head eunuch hurriedly followed him, being submissive and careful but flattering all the way.
When they arrived at the Queen's palace, the door was still closed. Feng Ling stood guarding the door with her sword in hand. There was also a row of maids waiting in the corridor to wait for the Emperor and Queen to get up.
"This slave has met King Lanling!"
When the maids saw King Lanling coming, they hurried forward and knelt down.
Some of these maids were brought here from Prince Lanling's Mansion by Xiao Ruoqing, while the rest were from the palace themselves.
They were all very afraid of King Lanling.
This is the only king with a different surname in the dynasty, and he has the power to cover the sky with one hand, and he has power over the whole government.
In the dynasty, there may be obstacles to the death of someone whose head the emperor wants to fall to the ground, but if King Lanling wants someone's head to fall to the ground, except for members of the royal family, everyone else must have their head fall to the ground!
"Is the Queen awake yet?"
"Back to my lord, the queen and the emperor are still in the palace."
The maids answered tremblingly.
Prince Lanling said no more and walked towards the palace door, but was stopped by Feng Ling, "Your Majesty, this is the Queen's palace. Your Majesty is still inside. Your Majesty, please wait patiently."
"Bastard thing!"
King Lanling glanced at Feng Ling coldly, and then said to the palace: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty was ill due to the cold, and also learned that Your Majesty was in the palace, so I came here to visit Your Majesty.
Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the dynasty, country, country, and the country. I need to know how your Majesty is doing. Please forgive me for offending. "
After he said that, he was about to break in.
Clang!
Feng Ling's sword was half drawn out of its scabbard. The sword's intention was surging and he stopped in front of King Lanling.
"You dare to draw your sword in front of this king. You are very brave."
Prince Lanling glanced at Feng Ling indifferently.
"No one can enter the Queen's palace without Your Majesty's permission! Your Majesty, you are no exception!"
"Feng Ling, let Prince Lanling come in."
A deep voice came from inside, with a slightly lazy feeling.
Feng Ling then sheathed her sword and turned aside to make way.
King Lanling stepped forward, pushed open the palace door, and walked in quickly.
He wanted to know what was going on, what was going on.
He did not believe that the emperor was a man.
The information he obtained all pointed to the fact that the current emperor was born as a girl.
In the past few years, since the emperor married his daughter, he has never been blessed with his daughter.
This also proves that the information he received in the past is true.
But last night, the emperor actually spent the night here!
When he came to the palace and saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, I am in very good health, have you seen that?"
Jun Wuxie pretended to be Emperor Lanling, with a slightly displeased face on his face, and said: "Your Majesty knew that I was in good health but was in the Queen's palace, yet he insisted on coming to visit me.
Or, next time, I will directly ask the steward to tell the ministers that in fact, because the palace was unlucky, I stayed in the palace to take care of her, so I couldn't go to court, okay? "
"Your Majesty is joking. It's an old minister who is rude." The muscles on King Lanling's face trembled a few times. "How can I tell the ministers in the court about this matter? The Emperor needs to take into account the Queen's face and dignity."
"Well, you also know? In that case, I hope the prince will remember not to break into the queen's palace next time."
"That's what the emperor said." There was no sign of awe on Prince Lanling's face. He looked at his daughter who was lying on the bed with a red face but looked weak, and said: "Actually, I am here to visit my daughter.
Although Ruoqing is a queen, she is also the daughter of an old minister.
The emperor should allow the old minister to visit his daughter, right? "
King Lanling's attitude was somewhat forceful.
Jun Wuxie glanced at him and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, please do so."
At this time, Xiao Ruoqing, who had been in the clouds and fog for a long time, feeling like she had been floating in the sky, finally woke up.
"Father...why are you here?"
She made a surprised sound, her voice weak and very weak.
"Daughter, why have you become like this?"
Prince Lanling stepped forward quickly, reached out to clasp Xiao Ruoqing's wrist, and checked her situation, "Tell your father if someone is bullying you. Don't be afraid, no matter who it is, my father will make the decision for you!"
Xiao Ruoqing's face turned red and she stopped talking.
