All the ministers were in a daze under the emperor's righteous and stern words and Zhou Lingfeng's "righteousness".
Could this Zhou Lingfeng really be an inside agent who "infiltrated the enemy's interior"?
So they all misunderstood him?
If it weren't for him, would the emperor still be unable to catch the traitor Xiao Yunjie?
But what happened when the prince was in danger and the prince's bodyguards were ambushed?
There were also courtiers who reacted quickly and automatically figured out the details, "Just think, so many East Palace guards with high martial arts skills have died.
"His Royal Highness, at such a young age, how could he escape from the clutches of the devil so easily, even if he is clever enough? Can he still come back unscathed?
"There must be someone inside!"
Thinking about it this way, it is more likely that Zhou Lingfeng is an insider.
The ministers had just rationally accepted that Zhou Lingfeng was an internal agent. It seems understandable that in order to reward him, he is now "clearing his name" and making him a national advisor.
As soon as calm returned to the palace, I heard that Qing Banxia, the director of Dagu Maritime Affairs Department, had sent an invitation.
Banxia also just rushed back from Dagu.
At the court meeting, she reported the follow-up events after the storm in Dagu.
“The Department of Maritime Affairs and the government government worked together to distribute relief food, build relief sheds, and settle the people affected by the disaster.
"Now Dagu is undergoing orderly recovery and reconstruction..."
She rushed back from Dagu to report on the disaster.
More importantly, "I also ask for the Emperor's permission to launch the ship this month."
The purpose of establishing the Maritime Affairs Department is to develop maritime hegemony.
They have been preparing for so long, and they can't let all their efforts go to waste just because of a storm!
Now if we don’t go into the water for a sea trial, it will be the winter months! By then the weather conditions will be even more severe.
"My ministers and the Maritime Affairs Department have agreed that it would be better to launch sailing around the ninth day of this month." Banxia reported.
At this time, Wen Jin was in the back hall.
The court meeting in the front hall was quiet, and she could hear Banxia's voice clearly.
She curled her lips when she heard this.
I didn't understand before what Taoist views on Feng Shui meant, and thought it was all "superstitious dross".
But after seeing Han Xian's ability, she realized that it turns out that a truly capable Taoist priest can feel the natural magnetic field, understand the laws of nature, and pass through some mysterious and mysterious things in the universe that even later generations of science have not yet been able to understand. Solve all the riddles to deduce what will happen.
Han Xian had already told her that around the ninth day of this month, it was the most unsuitable time for large ships to launch and sail long distances.
But she told Ban Xia that she had to report it like this.
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Lingfeng.
"National Master, what do you think at this time? Can we go on a long voyage?"
In the court hall, the ministers were in an uproar.
Who doesn't know that Banxia is the Queen's wife?
What is the emperor's attitude toward the queen? That's just letting it go. I wish I could be pampered to the heavens!
What Banxia Changqing meant was basically the Queen's instruction.
But now, the emperor did not agree directly, but asked Zhou Lingfeng? !
Zhou Lingfeng was also surprised.
No one told him, is this happening again today?
Is this a test?
His ears are very sharp... He heard the ministers talking. They said that Banxia belongs to the queen!
Since he is a queen, maybe he means the queen...
Should he refute what the Queen meant?
If he refutes it and brings shame to the Queen, will the Queen hold a grudge against him?
If he doesn't refute... and this day is not suitable, will the Queen feel that he is not trying his best?
If she deliberately tested him, does that mean he failed the test?
Now the emperor praises him so highly... The days around the ninth day of the lunar month were not good. If there were any storms at sea, wouldn't it mean that he was not capable enough? Didn't you figure this out?
In the blink of an eye... countless thoughts had already passed through Zhou Lingfeng's mind.
The more thoughts a person has, the more likely he is to become anxious and nervous... Zhou Lingfeng's palms were sticky with sweat.
Of course, what everyone saw was that he was concentrating with his eyes closed, counting with his fingers.
"Back to the emperor, around the ninth day of the lunar month, life was not good and it was easy to encounter storms.
"The best time to launch a large ship for a long voyage is around the 15th day of the lunar month. If it is launched at 16 o'clock in the morning and sets sail at noon, it is best."
The ministers were buzzing and discussing in low voices.
Banxia gave Zhou Lingfeng a cold look.
The glare made him feel guilty.
However, Xiao Yuchen looked calm and said firmly, "Okay, just follow the wishes of the Imperial Master."
Everyone was secretly shocked... The emperor really trusted him!
Zhou Lingfeng was also shocked... Did the emperor give him such a big face? !
Not to mention, the feeling of being trusted by the emperor and envied by the ministers at the court meeting... is quite superior.
Zhou Lingfeng's waist became straighter.
If he was still pretending to be confident just now, now he felt a surge of energy in his heart, which made him stand up straight.
The meeting will disperse later.
Han Xian followed Wen Jin and spoke in a low voice.
"At the court meeting, the atmosphere was tense, and it was suddenly proposed. Calculation and divination are all related to the psychological state. The more nervous the more inaccurate the calculation.
"In such a sudden and tense atmosphere, he was still able to accurately calculate, and his Taoist skills were excellent."
Wen Jin nodded, "Senior brother, please be more careful in the future. Hold him up first to avoid the bait not being fat enough and the fish not taking the bait."
Han Xian nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Madam, Han will do his best."
At the court meeting, the emperor's attitude towards Zhou Lingfeng made it difficult for many ministers to calm down.
Some people think this is a new trend.
Some people also think that this is a test by the emperor.
It's just the beginning now. We all need to be patient, stay put and observe slowly.
The ministers are patient.
But there was one person who didn't have such patience.
The days after the Emperor returned to the palace were no better than before.
"Xiao Yuchen actually grounded me! He is so bold! He acts wantonly! I am his father!
"His throne was passed down to him by me!"
When he lost his temper in the past, Ji Xiang would make him happy.
But now, the eunuchs all stayed away, as if they were afraid of being splashed by his spittle.
"You, you slaves! Get out of here!"
The Supreme Emperor saw that he had been cursing for a long time, and his mouth was dry. No one paid him any attention.
It's like he dumped a pile of garbage and ended up... burying himself.
Inside and outside the palace, it was quiet, with only chirping birds, as if they were watching his excitement.
The Supreme Emperor was extremely upset, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
he shouted, banging the table.
Finally, a palace man appeared and looked at him from a distance, as if he was a mad beast. The palace man was ready to escape at any time.
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he couldn't help it, "Come, come, I won't scold you. I can't get out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, but you can get out!"
"I heard that Xiao Yuchen released Zhou Lingfeng. Go and call Zhou Lingfeng to see me!"
The palace official said, "I don't know if I can see the Imperial Master."
"National Preceptor?!" The Supreme Emperor's eyes widened in surprise, "So not only was he released, but he actually became a National Preceptor?!
"Ha, that's great! Go quickly! He will definitely see you. Without me, he would not be where he is today! He will definitely come and kowtow to me to thank you!"
The Supreme Emperor looked proud.
