I'm still so majestic

On Yanji's side, there is a school of Ning (Dang) and (Yang), but Linqin Prince's Mansion is different.

Yan Zhou's complexion was not very good since he entered the mansion, and the two ministers of Gong and Li followed behind him, not daring to say anything, and followed him into the study in silence.

When the study door was closed, the gentle look on Yan Zhou's face completely faded: "What's going on?!"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry lowered his head: "My lord, this..."

He faltered for a long time but failed to say anything. Yan Ji sat with a gloomy face, gradually calmed down, and closed his eyes: "Who is Jiang Baili?"

"I have ordered people to investigate, and the news will be sent soon." The Minister of the Household Department said, just as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door outside: "My lord."

He is sent to investigate.

Yan Zhou called him in, and the man stood in the middle of the study and explained in detail what he had found out.The three of them listened, and found that Jiang Baili was just a lucky person recommended by the prime minister because he had been unsuccessful in the Ministry of Justice for many years, but was suddenly valued by the minister.

And he was recommended because of his background as the grandson of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.

It can also be regarded as a man made by the times.

Yan Zhou sneered: "How can there be so many people with good times and good luck in the world?"

After being silent for a while, he spoke again, with a low voice: "How about the Jiangnan rebellion, you and I are like a mirror, such a thing could not have happened, there must be someone behind the scenes."

Listening to his words, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was immediately drenched in cold sweat.

What he did is the crime of punishing the Jiu Clan. If there is someone behind it, it means that this person knows all their plans... If it is exposed, then...

He turned his head and looked at the Minister of Rites next to him, and they both saw the panic and fear in each other's eyes.

The two subconsciously looked at Yan Zhou.

Yan Zhou lowered his head, and said for a long while, "These days, Su Mou, Fu Zhihuai...and the one in Xuanjing Palace, are you doing anything?"

The spy shook his head: "Old Master Su is still the same as before. Fu Zhihuai wandered around after court, extremely lazy, and he... he drank tea in the palace every day, and occasionally played chess with the Taifu."

"What about the master?"

"I also checked. Xie Wenzhuo's life experience is very simple. Although his master traveled around when he was young, Tianning entered Beijing in 31 to take the exam and won the first prize. He was very low-key on weekdays and had no contact with officials."

"Also." The spy suddenly remembered something, and said, "Fu Zhihuai would go to see him every day after the court, but the eyeliner in the palace said that they don't talk about political affairs, but talk about... romantic affairs."

Sounds like nothing out of the ordinary.

The only thing that is not quite right about Fengyue, the two have known each other since they were young, and they are considered bamboo horses, and it seems... nothing to talk about it together.

Yan Zhou nodded, and waved the spies back.

As soon as the wooden door opened and closed, the study returned to silence.

Minister of Rites looked at the closed wooden door, then looked at Yan Zhou: "My lord, are you suspicious of the one in the palace?"

Yan Ji shook his head: "I have watched him grow up, and I know his temperament very well. He is not someone who can hide things in his heart. If he knows my thoughts, he must be very upset on the surface, and he won't be like that. It's so peaceful now."

Moreover, he agreed to every time he proposed.

He didn't say anything later, but everyone present knew what he meant, so they were silent for a while.

But if it is said that the prime minister is the person behind it, they will definitely inform the emperor, so it doesn't make sense.

Could it be... was it really just an accident?

Yan Zhou's expression was gloomy.

"Forget it, since this matter has already happened, it has to be like this. It would be best if it was an accident, if it wasn't..." Yan Zhou's eyes flashed ruthlessly: "I don't believe this person can hide for a lifetime."

The two people in front of them bowed their heads and said yes.

Yan Zhou rubbed the center of his brows: "Go back first, and check your subordinates as well."

The two agreed, turned and left.

Yan Zhou leaned on the back of the chair, frowning tightly.

The beginning was broken, and it was a bit difficult to implement the plan after that.

But the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no other way, we can only wait for the following Nine Kingdoms Banquet, and then take our time.

Yan Zhou sighed and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

What a shame.

……

No matter how upset Yan Zhou is, the days will go on as usual, and the day of the Nine Kingdoms Banquet has finally arrived.

On the first day of March, envoys from nine kingdoms came to Beijing. The emperor held a banquet in the palace, singing and dancing together, serving konghou, delicious food and wine, and a bright moon at night.

Yan Ji changed into regular clothes with gold patterns on the black background, his black hair was tied up casually, and his peach blossom eyes and cinnabar moles made him look like a very young boy.Shao He was worried that such a dress would be too immodest and not enough to deter people, but Yan Ji raised his chin and asked, "Is it really not enough?"

Shao He's chin was picked by Yan Ji, and the roots of his ears turned red in an instant. The only thought in his mind was that His Majesty was spoiled by the Prime Minister and Tai Tuo, so he would not think about other issues.

So the dust settled.

At Xu time, the sky darkened, and the palace city was brightly lit.

The night banquet was set in the Chengxi Hall, and Yan Ji sat on top of it, his eyes curved into twinkling arcs.The envoys from the nine kingdoms looked at him with astonishment in their eyes.

They knew that the new emperor had good looks before, but they didn't want to be so refined.

That kind of exquisiteness cannot be piled up with gold carvings and jade carvings, and it is inherently noble.

However, after marveling at the appearance of the new emperor, it is inevitable to be somewhat contemptuous.

A king should be majestic and dignified, calm and dignified, with the awe-inspiring presence of a king in every word and deed.

Daqi, the little emperor, is not enough no matter in terms of momentum or age.

There were different expressions for a while.

Yanji looked at them with a smile, and immediately recognized Chifang as the envoy Asimu. Chifang was originally dissatisfied with being suppressed by Daqi, and with the fact that his national power has become stronger and stronger these years, he faintly felt that he was invincible, and his arrogance came from his behavior You can tell by the expression.

Such people generally do not survive three chapters.

Yan Ji bent his eyes, straightened his body a little, and held up his wine glass: "It's a happy time today, everyone, don't be restrained, celebrate with wine, and may I enjoy peace forever."

All the ministers stood to toast and bowed three times.

Then the people from the harem entered the hall to serve dishes and drinks, toast and toast, sing and dance to raise the peace, and with the lights of the palace city, it looked very prosperous.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone gradually stopped their chopsticks, and the singing and dancing took a break.

Yan Ji drank a few glasses of wine, his eyes were a little hazy, full of sparkling colors.But he was very clear in his heart, knowing that the real highlight of the banquet had only just begun.

He was not in a hurry, he lowered his head and sipped the honey water that Shao He secretly poured into the jug, and occasionally talked to Xie Wenzhuo who was sitting behind him, with a contented expression.

Soon, the surroundings became completely silent, and the envoys from the Nine Kingdoms stood up, said some grandiose congratulatory speeches, and then brought up the congratulatory gifts.

Chifang Kingdom came last.

The envoy came to submit the gift list, Yanji listened, and felt that Chi Fang had done a good job on the surface, at least the treasury could be enriched.

Yan Ji smiled, said some polite words with him, and waited quietly.

As expected, the envoy Chifang did not sit down like the others, and bowed again: "Your Majesty, there is a wolf named Cangqing in Chifang Dongshan, with a fierce nature, but if you accept the master, you will be loyal all your life. The Lord is extremely difficult, His Majesty is a noble man, and he can surrender himself, so I present it as a congratulatory gift, and I also hope that after it recognizes the Lord, it can keep Your Majesty safe."

As he spoke, he walked out with his entourage, and soon after, he brought in a huge cage, lifted the black cloth covering it, and the light entered, a white wolf covered with black spots on its forehead was awakened, stood up, and instantly The eyes are fierce.

Fu Zhihuai lowered his head, with a chill in his eyes.

Cang Qing's murderous reputation is well known everywhere, in the past someone wanted to make Cang Qing recognize his master, and brought five masters there, but all of them were ripped apart by claws.

Those five masters are all well-known figures in the world, and they are very miserable, but Your Majesty...

He looked at Yan Ji who was squinting and smiling above, and clenched his hands hidden under the sleeves of his wide robe.

"Cang Qing is fierce, he has woken up now, if he is moved rashly, many people may be injured." Asenmu said: "Your Majesty might as well come here and have a try, and you can avoid many risks."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then opened his mouth again: "My emperor was the same age as His Majesty when he first made Cang Qing to recognize the Lord. I think His Majesty will be able to surrender smoothly."

There are two meanings to this statement.

One is that if you don't come, you are cowardly and not as good as my emperor.

Second, if you come here but don't submit, you are not powerful enough, and you are not as good as my emperor.

There was silence in the hall.

Yanji stood up in the silence, smiled softly, her peach blossom eyes were bent into a very beautiful look: "In that case, then I will give it a try."

Xie Wenqing gently touched his hand under the table, her eyes were full of disapproval.

Yan Ji comforted him with a smile, stood up, and walked down step by step.

At this time, the white wolf in the cage had already entered a violent state under the crowd's onlookers, bumping into the cage again and again, and the iron cage made a loud noise, accompanied by the fierce roar of the white wolf, which was extremely frightening.

Sensing that someone was approaching, the white wolf made a defensive posture, and let out a warning whine from his throat. His ferocious appearance made many ministers behind him gasp.

Yan Ji still smiled and stood still one meter in front of the cage.

Seeing that the visitor hadn't left, the white wolf became even more irritable and roared angrily. The cage was shaken violently by him, as if it would be disconnected at any moment.

The ministers were even more frightened, they hadn't let go of their hearts, but they suddenly looked at Yan Ji not only did not stop, but also moved closer.

Some of the female officers had already covered their eyes, and Mrs. Su sullenly ordered the generals to step forward to escort them.

In the eyes of everyone, Yan Ji had already approached the cage, smiled and bent down, and slowly stretched out his hand to the white wolf: "Hey, come here."

The white wolf gritted his teeth and looked fiercely at Yan Ji's hand, as if he was about to bite Yan Ji's wrist off in a moment.

The white wolf moved.

It approached the cage and stopped, its face was still ferocious, and the blood in its eyes became deeper.

Yan Ji stood bent over, without taking back his hand, and looked at the white wolf quietly.

The white wolf stared at him for a long time in silence, then slowly straightened up.

Everyone held their breath and watched nervously.

Then I saw the white wolf, who had been looking ferocious and wild just now, suddenly calmed down, tilted his head to look at Yan Ji's face, then raised his paw, slowly put it into Yan Ji's palm, and let out a soft whine.

Chi Fang came to envoy: "..."

Daqi all the ministers: "..."

Is it not easy for the wild and ferocious to admit the master?

To be clear is to look at the face, right? !
