801. All ministers request: Stop choosing concubines
Gongsun Xue stood there with a little worry and annoyance.
"That's good. As long as it can be cured. I still think highly of you, Miss Gongsun, go in." Concubine Dong Xian smiled slightly and opened her mouth to help Gongsun Xue.
Gongsun Xue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to his seat.
"De Fei, what's your opinion?" Dongfang Chen hid his displeasure in his heart, turned to look at Wang Yuyan, and asked calmly.
"When I return to the emperor, I will tell you that my concubine's opinion is similar to that of Sister Xianfei, and I am very optimistic about Miss Yuwen and Miss Gongsun."
"Yes. I agree with your two opinions." Dongfang Chen nodded, and at the same time, he glared at Concubine Dong Xian with a bit of dissatisfaction. Concubine Dong Xian knew clearly that he was going to choose Yun Jingchu, but she pretended not to know and didn't even mention it.
carry.
Concubine Dong Xian naturally understood the meaning of Dongfang Chen's glance, but she acted as if she didn't understand at all. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the three of us have expressed our opinions. Now it is the Emperor's turn to speak."
"Yeah." Dongfang Chen responded lightly, then cleared his throat and said, "Apart from the two of them, I think Miss Bai and Yun..."
At this moment, a burst of noise came from outside the main hall, interrupting Dongfang Chen's words.
Then, a eunuch stumbled in, knelt on the ground, and said with a hint of panic: "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is leading a group of people outside, clamoring to see the Emperor, and the servants can't stop him."
Dongfang Chen frowned, and his face suddenly turned dark: "Useless slaves, why do they want to see me?"
"They... they said... they want the emperor to take... cancel..." The little eunuch was shaking all over and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Turning to look at Dongfang Chen, An Fuhai found that Dongfang Chen's face had darkened, and he obviously understood what the little eunuch was going to say.
At this moment, a loud and majestic voice came from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty, the concubine selection ceremony cannot be held any longer and must be stopped immediately."
Following the voice, Ning Guogong, with gray hair and gray hair, wearing a purple python robe, strode in with a dragon-head crutch. The words he just shouted were the ones he shouted.
Behind him were Commander Qi, Lin Qishan, Bai Qinghong, Bai Qingyan, Bai Ruoxi, Zhang Yushi, Zhang Lan and his son, Nangong Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and others.
Nangong Lin is the father of Nangong Yi, who was caught having an affair with Liang Zhaorong. Ever since he received Yun Jingshu's favor, he has firmly sided with Yun Jingshu's faction. However, many times he will not stand up if it is not necessary.
, if there is a need now, I will naturally come forward without hesitation.
Dongfang Chen's eyes turned cold, but he held back. Instead, he stood up, looked at Ning Guogong, and said loudly: "Ning Guogong, what are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, I have just learned that news came from Zhuozhou that fires broke out in various parts of Zhuozhou, burning down more than a dozen villages and towns, causing countless losses. Therefore, I believe that this must be a precursor to a great disaster.
In order to avoid a greater disaster, I implore the emperor to accept Master Huiqing's suggestion, cancel the selection of concubines, and start fasting, chanting Buddha's name, and praying to heaven to stop bringing disasters to the Yuan Dynasty." Ning Guogong bowed and said sonorously.
Dongfang Chen's face suddenly turned livid, as cold as ice that had been frozen for thousands of years...
