Chapter 204: Conferred Consort (Part 2) Asking for a Monthly Pass
Although it was already night, the six ministers of the six ministries started to rush into the palace as soon as they received the notice. However, Li Junren, Li Tianyou, and Annan Duke Pei Xianlin, who had not received the notice, also began to rush into the palace after receiving the news.
Since the king became ill, the atmosphere in Shenglong Mansion has become a little nervous.
Not to mention people in the officialdom, even ordinary people can feel that Shenglong Mansion will change sooner or later.
However, in the days before, His Majesty the King's remaining power was still alive, and he did not die for a day, so those who had strange intentions would not take action for a day. They must not be able to do it, but they dare not.
Now that he heard His Majesty the King summoning the six ministers, everyone speculated whether the king would be in a hurry, so he wanted to summon the six ministers to announce the will.
The six ministers rushed to the palace one by one, and Li Junren, Li Tianyou and Pei Xianlin rushed to the palace one by one.
The three of them had already run out of Shenglong Mansion City. The troops prepared outside the city were probably ready to go at this time. Just a signal was needed, and all the armies would probably immediately pounce into Shenglong Mansion and engage in a battle to set off.
In the king's bedroom, the king pulled Jiang Xia there to ask questions, just like an ordinary father who wanted to marry a daughter. He seemed to want to judge Jiang Xia's character, knowledge, knowledge, strategy and other qualities with a few words.
Jiang Xia had a good impression of this decisive king, so he was happy to deal with him seriously.
Although Jiang Xia is usually vulgar and vulgar, the situation will be completely different if he becomes serious. His Majesty the King was amused by him and laughed repeatedly, and the other end was lit without stopping.
After Jiang Xia's funny, he seemed to have improved a lot.
Soon the guards outside the door entered the bedroom to report that the six ministers and the two kings and one duke all came. Hearing that the two kings and one duke came uninvited, the king chuckled. He nodded and said, "Let them all come in."
"Yes." The guard responded and stepped back.
Soon, the six ministers, Renxian King, Xiaoyao King, and Annan Gong walked into the bedroom together. Everyone knelt down to the king and bowed: "See Your Majesty the King, long live the king."
The king's voice was a little low and he said, "Get up."
"Thank you, King." Everyone stood up.
The king couldn't help coughing twice at this moment, and the palace maid standing beside him quickly brought a spittoon over. After the king spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, he seemed to be more energetic. He took two deep breaths and said, "I'm very disappointed when I see that I'm in good health and in good spirits, are you?"
As soon as the king said this, the ministers and the two kings and the two kings and one dukes knelt down quickly and said in unison: "I don't dare."
The king smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you dare or not, you all get up. I have something to announce."
"Yes." Everyone stood up again.
The king glanced at Jiang Xia and Li Ruliu, then pulled Li Ruliu with his left hand and held Jiang Xia with his right hand. He put the two hands together and said, "Princess Annan is all familiar with you, so I don't need to introduce you anymore. The young man next to me is the son-in-law chosen by Princess Annan. His name is Jiang Xia, and he is the top scholar in the Ming Dynasty. I specifically asked you to come here to announce the will in advance. Chen Si, the Minister of Rites, immediately recorded the following words."
"I obey the order." Chen Si immediately walked to the desk beside the bedroom, picked up a brush and dipped it ink, and prepared.
The king said, "I announced that from today on, Jiangxia and Princess Annan have officially become husband and wife, and the wedding will be replenished in the future. In addition, if I am no longer alive, one king will be inherited by Jiangxia. The first male born to Jiangxia and Princess Annan must be the surname Li, and if there is no big mistake, he will be the first heir to the throne."
"Your Majesty, this" Wang Qian, the Minister of War, was ready to speak.
The king frowned, and a sharp gaze shot directly at Wang Qian, and asked in a deep voice: "What? Do you have any objections to my decision?"
"I don't dare." Wang Qianjiang's head hangs, and he swallows the words that were already at the end of his mouth.
"It's best not to have any opinions. The decision I made does not allow anyone to have any opinions. Do you understand?" the king said with a cold face.
"I understand." The ministers of the six ministries said in unison.
Everyone turned their attention to Jiang Xia. A Han man who had just arrived in Annan Kingdom actually became Princess Annan's son-in-law and the nominal heir of the throne of Annan Kingdom. Is there anything more envious and jealous than this? I am afraid that the so-called one-step climb to the sky is probably referring to this.
Jiang Xia smiled at the corner of her mouth throughout the whole process and said nothing.
The king waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, let's go back."
"Yes." The six ministers and the two kings and one duke retreated one after another.
Soon, only Jiang Xia, Princess Annan, the Queen and others were left in the king's bedroom.
The queen looked at Jiang Xia at this moment as if a big bad wolf saw Little Red Riding Hood through the bulletproof glass. She could see it and wanted to eat him, but she could do nothing about him.
Jiang Xia was very happy to see the queen's expression. He once met a psychology professor and asked him what he would do if he fell into the river and drowned. Jiang Xia's answer at that time was that he would jump into the river immediately. As soon as the professor heard it, he wrote the word "kindness" to his psychological comment.
Then the professor asked him unconsciously how he would save his rival if he jumped into the river.
Jiang Xia's head was like a rattle at that time and said, "How could I save him? I would swim around him, so that he would continue to beg me before he died until he was completely desperate."
After listening to it, the professor immediately smeared the word "kindness" in his psychological comments and unswervingly wrote down the word "shameless". Then he thought about it and added three words before "shamelessness", "extreme".
Jiang Xia told the professor that for him, the most beautiful scenery is the way his enemies hate him, but he looks helpless.
So, the queen's expression is the best scenery for Jiang Xia, and he looks very happy.
The king glanced at the queen and Li Ruliu, and waved his hand and said, "You go out first, Jiang Xia stay."
"Your Majesty" the queen called out, and the king's eyes sterned.
The queen didn't dare to say the following words, she immediately stood up and said "Yes", and then withdrew from the room with Li Ruliu.
Only Jiang Xia and the King were left in the bedroom. The King covered his mouth with his hands and coughed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his fingers.
Jiang Xia was startled and just opened her mouth to call the imperial physician. The king grabbed him and said, "Don't say anything."
"Wipe the blood clean and listen to me finish the last words."
"I know you are a smart person. At this moment, I asked you to be the heir to the throne of Annan, which is actually to put you on the fire. If you are not careful, you may die miserably. Do you know this?"
Jiang Xia smiled slightly. He really admired the king now. He acted decisively and cautiously, but the key was to be open and honest and heroic.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I know everything you said. Princess Annan has saved me. I came here to repay my kindness. I am prepared for what you said."
"Okay, very good." The king took a strong breath and said, "To be honest, I don't have a good way to deal with the current situation now. I can only tell you two things, and I hope I can help you. Linghu Mingjun, the commander of the Shenglong Army, is a trustworthy person. If you use my token to find him, he will definitely obey you.
The King of Xiaoyao Li Tianyou is a person who can be used, but you need to be careful. As for why you need to be prevented, I can’t tell you now, and you will know in the future.”
The king took out a token from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia took the token and glanced. The token made of pure gold had the word "Shenglong" written on it, which was written in Chinese characters.
Jiang Xia put the token in his arms. Although he didn't understand what Li Tianyou, who was loyal to the king and helped Li Ruliu with all his might, was able to prevent Li Tianyou, but he still remembered the king's words and decided to be careful about Li Tianyou in the future.
After saying this, the king patted Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Okay, I'll clean up and go out to help me call the imperial doctor and the palace maid in. I'm tired and need to rest."
"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded, took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms and carefully wiped away all the blood, then got up and prepared to leave.
When he reached the door, the king suddenly shouted: "Jiang Xia."
Jiang Xia turned around and looked back at the king.
The king suddenly moistened his eyes, and his voice said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Call Ru Liu in, I want to look at her a few more times. Maybe I close my eyes tonight and will not wake up tomorrow morning."
Hearing the king's words, Jiang Xia's softest place was suddenly touched. He was an orphan and an abandoned baby, so what he couldn't stand the most was the scene of deep love between father and daughter.
Especially the infinite attachment and reluctance in the eyes of the king who had already accepted his fate deeply touched Jiang Xia when he mentioned Li Ruliu.
Jiang Xia nodded and said to the king seriously: "Don't worry, I will help your daughter well and will definitely help her ascend the throne."
The six words "help her ascend the throne" said from Jiang Xia that Jiang Xia had basically told the king of his plan. The king's eyes flashed with layers of surprise, and then there were rays of excitement.
But after Jiang Xia said this, he had already left the door.
Jiang Xia first called the palace maids and the imperial physician into the bedroom in the side hall, and then saw Li Ruliu and the Queen in the main hall. When Jiang Xia came out, they both came up to meet him.
Jiang Xia said to Li Ruliu: "The king told you to go in."
"Okay." Li Ruliu nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
The queen looked at Jiang Xia and asked, "Where is this palace?"
"The king said there are many cool places in the palace, so the queen can find a place to rest."
"What does this mean?"
"It means you can stay wherever you are cool."
