Heaven

Chu Palace, Xihe Palace...

Jing Mingrui returned to Danyang yesterday and is handing over work to Jing Mingya.

During the several months of Jing Mingrui's personal conquest, the ministers in the court of Chu State finally recognized the true face of King Danyang.

He is not a little white rabbit, he is simply a wolf with a big tail!

I heard that King Danyang was acting as an agent of the government to deal with Jing Mingya's officials at will, but he punished them very badly.

As soon as Jing Mingya took office, he dealt with a group of corrupt officials and officials who only took their salaries and did not do practical work.Since he didn't fine his salary, and didn't impose a board, he just posted the performance appraisal form with specific negative comments outside the door of his yamen, so that the officials who were inefficient in their work were humiliated all at once.

After posting dozens of lists, all the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty began to work diligently on the work at hand, for fear of being caught by the smiling tiger prince and ruining their future.

Why did I miss it before?How could Jing Yan's son be an idler?

They even missed Zhennan King Jing Mingyu a little bit. When Jing Mingyu was the regent, although they were watched by soldiers day and night, at least they could stay at home and not work!

"Has Prime Minister Xiaolu said he was sick for five days and he hasn't gone to court? Is he seriously ill?" Jing Mingrui asked while flipping through the official documents.

An unnatural look flashed across Jing Mingya's face: "Uh, brother Zihuai just feels cold occasionally, he'll be fine after a few days of rest. I'll visit him in two days."

"Haven't you visited him yet?" Jing Mingrui looked at Jing Mingya suspiciously.

With the relationship between Jing Mingya and Lu Zihuai, even if they don't visit every day, they should show more concern, right?Remember when Jing Mingya accidentally fell into the water before, Lu Zihuai took care of him for ten days in a daze until he was out of danger?

Jing Mingya's face was burning hot when he saw him, and he bit his lips and said, "He just can't accept some things for a while, and I will keep you alive and kicking as a prime minister in a few days."

Jing Mingrui got his guarantee and didn't go into it.

He finally finished reading the official documents during this period, raised his head and asked, "Is there any new news?"

Jing Mingya suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the Queen of Yue Kingdom has started choosing a husband."

Vietnam can be said to be one of the oldest countries in the world.

Not only has it completely continued the tradition of Yu Kingdom, it has always been jointly ruled by the queen and her husband, and it has also developed the worship of the queen into a complete set of religious systems. It is the only country that combines politics and religion.

Every time the Queen of Yue State becomes an adult at the age of 20, she announces the selection of husbands all over the world. In addition to choosing a husband to rule the country with herself, she will also choose four to eight princes, whose status is roughly equivalent to that of other princes. The country has a high-grade concubine.

Jing Mingrui said with a smirk: "I heard that the queen of the Yue Kingdom has always looked like a fairy, this is a good job as a stud!"

Jing Mingya smiled and nodded in agreement.

After a while, he suddenly said: "I heard that Ji Kongqing went to apply for the election."

"Pfft—" Jing Mingrui spewed out the tea he had just drunk.

He raised his finger tremblingly and pointed at Jing Mingya: "You...what did you say?"

……

The more Jing Mingrui thought about it, the more he didn't understand.

How did things turn out like this?

Mingming Ji Kongqing confessed to himself a few days ago, why in the blink of an eye, he...he actually ran to the country of Yue to be elected as the emperor's husband?

Jing Mingrui gritted his teeth, even if he didn't turn the corner at first, but later he was determined to give it a try, how could he have moved on so quickly!

Could it be that the Queen of Yue is better than me?

However, maybe there is something else hidden in it?Jing Mingrui began to find reasons for the other party.

He decided to go to Ji Kongqing's residence to inquire about it himself.

"Then he left for Yue country the next day..." Jing Mingrui was extremely puzzled.

According to Ji Kongqing's subordinates, the day after the announcement of the Queen's election of the Queen of Yue arrived in Danyang City, Ji Kongqing confessed that she was going to Yue to apply for the election, and left alone.

"Then does he have anything else to say?" Jing Mingrui asked.

Ji Kongqing's subordinates bowed their heads in thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something.He took out two large silver ingots from a side cabinet and handed them to Jing Mingrui: "General Ji said that if your majesty and Princess Wei are married and he hasn't come back, let me use the 100 taels of silver to buy anything for your majesty." , and wish Your Majesty an early son."

Jing Mingrui looked at the silver ingot in his hand, and suddenly felt like crying.

Damn it, everyone with the surname Wei is really not a good person, and they are all making trouble for themselves!

Little Phoenix is ​​also true, how could he marry that inexplicable woman whom he has never seen before?

!

Could it be that he believed Wei Wuyou's words and thought that he was about to get married, so he was so sad that he decided to marry a wife and have children for himself?

The people of Yue believed in religion and were very united, making it very difficult to break through.

However, according to Yue State's system, if Ji Kongqing really became the emperor's concubine, it is very likely that Yue State will establish an alliance with Chu State during the tenure of the empress, paving the way for him to rule the world.

The more Jing Mingrui thought about it, the more he realized it was possible, and immediately felt heartbroken for Ji Kongqing's "good intentions".

Really, the old man was able to take a corner of the Yue country by force back then, how could Little Phoenix have so little confidence in himself, and even wanted to exchange himself for the alliance between Chu and Yue!

Jing Mingrui resentfully crushed the silver ingot in his hand into a ball, threw it back to Ji Kongqing's men, and left in a hurry.

He is going to find Jing Mingquan and ask him to inquire about the news in the palace of the Yue Kingdom. No matter what, Ji Kongqing cannot be selected!

Ji Kongqing looked up at the rugged mountain road in front of him, estimated the distance, and it seemed that he might not be able to reach the Emperor's Palace until evening.

He stretched out his hands and tightened the skirt of his clothes so that the wind and snow would stop pouring into his neckline. He regretted not adding an extra cloak before going up the mountain. The name of the country of high mountains is indeed well-deserved.

Mingrui should have returned to Danyang by now. I don't know what kind of reaction he will have when he gets the news that he has come to Yue.Ji Kongqing's mouth curled into a smile.

I hope that this trip will be rewarding and bring back a great gift to Mingrui.Ji Kongqing suddenly felt that the snowstorm in the mountains seemed to be less severe, so he straightened his back and continued to walk up.

As soon as Ji Kongqing arrived at the Divine Emperor's Palace, an attendant in charge of reception brought him into a large hall to rest, waiting for the first test to be selected - to identify the blood of heaven and man.

There are already five or six people waiting in the hall.

Ji Kongqing took a rough look, and the descendants of heaven and man are indeed outstanding in appearance. From teenagers to middle-aged people in their 40s, all of them are pleasing to the eye just from their appearance.

Ji Kongqing's gaze rested on a young man in blue shirt with a mustache.

Ever since Ji Kongqing came in and glanced at him, this person has been watching his eyes and mind, and has never made eye contact with Ji Kongqing.

However, Ji Kongqing faintly felt that he was secretly guarding and paying attention to him, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but he had never seen this person before, who sent him?

Ji Kongqing's observation failed to continue, and an attendant quickly led the young man in the blue shirt to the testing room.

A moment later, the door of the main hall was opened again, and an attendant walked in with a man in white robes and a servant.

Ji Kongqing couldn't help being startled when he saw the person coming. This person had an extremely enchanting face, a pair of peach blossom eyes, red lips and white teeth, and blood-red Kodan was applied on ten fingers.

As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at everyone present one by one, and finally landed on Ji Kongqing's face, showing a seductive smile.

Ji Kongqing didn't know why his back suddenly turned cold, and he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this person.

The white-robed man's servant took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket, found the nearest empty chair and wiped it carefully, and then respectfully led the white-robed man to slowly walk to the front of the chair and sit down.

During this process, the eyes of the man in white robe did not leave Ji Kongqing's body for a moment.

Ji Kongqing frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable by his strange staring eyes.He noticed that the boy gave him a sense of familiarity. When did he meet him?

Because they are competitors, everyone sat in the same room, but they were relatively silent.

After a while, it was finally Ji Kongqing's turn to undergo the blood test. He walked along the corridor with his attendants, wondering if there was any way to test the blood of heaven and man. If he needed to see the engraving for identification, wouldn't he Some trouble?

Finally, Ji Kongqing was ushered into a small room, and a woman in black saluted him, motioning for him to put a white stone on his hand.

"This is the divine stone that came out of the shrine. Anyone with a celestial blood can resonate with it and meditate on it, so as to identify the celestial blood." The woman in black explained.

Is that so?That's right, the engraving is also possible to imitate, so it's more safe to use this method.

Ji Kongqing gently held the small white stone.

The divine stone in his palm immediately emitted a soft golden light, and a familiar feeling came over him, like talking to Mingrui!

The woman in black seemed to be very surprised, and gave Ji Kongqing a sign with a number engraved on it: "I didn't expect the son's blood to be so pure, please accept this card, and after the primary election ends in five days, you can participate in the formal selection."

As soon as Ji Kongqing walked out of the house holding the sign, an attendant took him to the arranged place to rest.

Ji Kongqing saw a few people who looked like guards standing in full armor on the other side. Could it be that they were specially used to deter unqualified people who refused to leave?

Midnight,

The side courtyard of the Emperor's Palace, Ji Kongqing's residence...

A black shadow looked around cautiously, and then knocked on the door a few times regularly. As soon as Ji Kongqing opened the door, the black shadow rushed in quickly.

A yard not far away...

"You are so beautiful..." The white-robed man sighed and observed the naked young man below him.

Suddenly his eyes dimmed, and with five fingers, the bright red nails immediately left five deep bloodstains on the snow-white chest: "But I hate beautiful people the most, and I want to tear him apart!"

The young man snorted, bit his lip and said with difficulty: "As the master wishes."

The white-robed man slowly stretched his hand between the young man's open legs, and suddenly moved forward. Seeing the young man's pain, he smiled softly and said, "Do you like being tortured by me that much?"

"The subordinates only want to bring some happiness to the master."

The white-robed man suddenly withdrew his hand and sat up: "It's not interesting, show me yourself."

"..."

The young man gritted his teeth and began to move on his own.
