Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

An eagle is soaring in the sky above the grassland.

The heavily armored army surrounded the hunting grounds, and the royal yellow flags fluttered in the strong wind.

The ministers sitting around did not dare to say a word.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints his own ministers. Having served His Majesty for so many years, they can naturally guess a thing or two about His Majesty. I'm afraid that today is not some royal hunting event.

But it was the Hongmen Banquet for these ministers.

"Old Xu, what do you think His Majesty means by this? The Royal Guards are all out, what are we, the powerless ministers, going to do?"

He put on his court robe and rolled up his sleeves.

The table was filled with delicacies and exotic fruits, including grapes that were tribute from the Western Regions, and tigers, leopards, bears and wolves from the north, all placed steaming on the table.

But they had no appetite at all.

"You have to take it easy. His Majesty was magnanimous enough not to get angry with you last time when we were managing the river."

"Old Xu, look at what you are saying. Even if His Majesty wants to demote me, there is no need to mobilize so many troops."

While they were talking, the ministers behind them knocked on their official hats and coughed in an old voice.

"You two are still arguing when your Majesty comes."

"Shut up now."

As the words fell, a shrill voice was heard outside the tent.

"The Emperor has arrived——!"

The man in armor, with his hands behind his back and his head held high, walked up the stairs step by step. His innate royal temperament made him not even glance to the sides.

There was no sound in the tent.

The ministers bowed their heads, stood up, folded their hands, and bowed in unison.

"Welcome to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

However, they were all guessing in their hearts, fearing that they had done something to displease His Majesty the Emperor.

"Everyone loves you."

"Today is a family dinner between me and you, why are we so loyal to each other?"

"Isn't that right, my dears?"

Pick up the exquisitely carved jade cup filled with the fine wine from Tianchi Lake, which exudes fragrance. Just one sip is better than ten years of human life.

The wine swayed slightly in the jade cup.

The emperor did not drink a sip. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the ministers who were like quails, as if he was reviewing his troops and generals.

He waved his armor and dragon robe and pointed at someone at random.

"Right Censor-in-Chief, you are here to answer my questions."

"Now the whole world is concerned about the succession to the throne. People are criticizing and questioning me. I know this too."

"Tell me, who should I choose to be the crown prince?"

The Right Censor-in-Chief, who was called by the emperor, stood up and bowed slowly.

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country and a measure for all the ministers in the world. The words of the emperor are as good as gold."

"The emperor's vision is the vision of heaven and the vision of the country's destiny."

"I am far behind you."

The Right Censor-in-Chief's answer was so flawless that the Left Censor-in-Chief standing next to him was stunned. He secretly took note of it in his mind, but he didn't know whether this trick would work.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Is that really the case, my dear?"

Without drinking a sip of the wine in the glass, the emperor stared at the Right Censor-in-Chief who was answering his question like a falcon.

"nature."

Hearing this answer, the emperor stretched out his hand, and the steward Lu, who had been waiting for a long time, handed him paper, ink, brush and inkstone on a jade tray.

The brush was placed on the golden dragon-patterned cloth, and the inscription was written in a flamboyant manner.

"What do you think of Lin'er, my dear ministers?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

But no one dared to stand up and answer the emperor's question at this time. The pen flew and the content was soon written.

"Grand Secretary of the Dongge Academy, please tell us about it."

His Majesty's intentions were now completely clear. The Grand Secretary of the Dongke had previously submitted a memorial requesting that His Majesty the Emperor appoint Prince Wen as the crown prince, but His Majesty had not responded. Everyone believed that His Majesty was indeed considering this matter.

King Wen was far away in the borderland, and his fiefdom was just a tiny place, so it was impossible for him to cause any trouble. Even the prince of King Wen was no different from a country bumpkin in the eyes of the people of this continent.

If the prince of King Wen is brought in as the crown prince and adopted by a concubine in the palace, he will surely achieve something in the future.

But the emperor was not a fool. The reason these people praised Prince Wen so much was not because King Wen had arranged anything, but because they were just fools who liked to play tricks on him.

How can we give up such a good puppet?

The Grand Secretary of the Dongge, who was called to stand up, fell to his knees with a thud. The tables and chairs moved, and his voice was vicissitudes and trembling.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that the princess is a woman, and she has been unruly and headstrong since she was a child. I am afraid she cannot take on such a great responsibility!"

"Your Majesty, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and good medicine tastes bitter! Your Majesty is not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong..."

The Right Censor-in-Chief shook his head inwardly. Fan Fang was still so rigid. He was afraid that his official hat would be in danger now.

Why did His Majesty want to talk about such an important matter during the hunting? Just a glance at the thousands of guards behind him would make you understand what was going on.

But before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow shot over from a distance. The guards standing on both sides of the emperor immediately became alert, drew the long swords at their waists, and protected the emperor.

Only a "swish" sound was heard.

The silver arrow shot through the black gauze hat on the head of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and the hat fell to the ground, rolling several times.

The Grand Secretary of the Dongge was so frightened that he dared not say a word and lay on the ground, thinking that an assassin was coming.

No shouting yet.

A familiar and cheerful female voice sounded inside the tent.

"Father, a hawk strayed in, and I have already shot it dead."

"I hope I didn't disturb my father."

Sure enough, when everyone looked at the ground, they saw a dead, half-grown eagle on the black gauze hat of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. Blood was all over the ground, soaking the black gauze hat of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

Zhao Changlin's long, ink-black hair stood up, the charm between his eyebrows faded a little, he held an ink-gold longbow in his hand, and had black armor tied on his hand.

The archery is fast and accurate.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is here, how can you act recklessly?"

"What's more, a sharp blade can hurt people. What if it hurts His Majesty?"

The Grand Secretary of the Dongge Academy didn't care about his messy hair. He stood up from the ground, patted the feathers on his body, and his beard was shaking with anger.

"Brother Fan, His Highness was anxious for the moment, so he took action."

"Don't be so angry, calm down, calm down."

The Left Censor-in-Chief and the Grand Secretary of the Eastern Pavilion had a casual drinking relationship on weekdays, and he couldn't bear to see him do something stupid and run naked into the fire pit.

So I just stepped forward to persuade him.

Your Majesty just wants to put an end to the arrogance of those pedantic civil servants in the cabinet today. After all, Fan Fang is a stubborn person who only reads books of sages. If it were not for his family power, he would have died many times.

It’s also a good thing that his father is from a Confucian university.

Otherwise, according to Your Majesty's temper, he would have been exiled to Lingnan to control the rat infestation long ago.
