The old general looked at the emperor with a respectful expression.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then all the Erlangs of the Shangguan family will be fully prepared and will only wait for Your Majesty's order when the time comes."
After hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded.
...
Above the court hall, Long Lin stood lazily aside.
After he returned to his mansion, he almost didn't go out and stayed with Yu'er all day long. He originally thought that Shangguan Yunzhou would go to his mansion to discuss with him the establishment of a maritime army.
But for several days, not even a single person was seen.
Long Lin was not worried about this. He did not think that Shangguan Yunzhou had the courage to disobey the emperor's order.
He observed Yu'er's reaction every day, wishing he could penetrate into Yu'er's heart like Fairy Zixia to find out more about it.
But after a few days, Yu'er's reaction was no different from usual. He couldn't tell what Yu'er was thinking in her heart at all.
Before he went out this morning, Yu'er personally came to his house and helped him get dressed, as gentle as a little daughter-in-law.
He tried to hug Jade Butterfly, and he took her into his arms smoothly. However, Jade Butterfly in his arms did not react strongly.
The more normal he was, the more he felt something was wrong and the more uneasy he became.
After arriving at the main hall, he never looked good-looking, with a cold face, as if everyone around him owed him money.
When Long Qi stepped into the hall, he also saw it in his eyes and did not speak.
Long Qi just glanced at him and stood quietly in front.
They arrived, and the cabinet ministers who had been prepared for a long time also arrived. Now they were standing behind them, each holding a red wedding envelope in their hands. Inside the envelope was the detailed information of their own children. At the same time,
The ones written there are the princes they selected.
The faces of these cabinet ministers were not unfamiliar to Long Lin at all.
He has had dealings with these people for a long time, and they were very noisy in this hall.
Seeing his reaction, these people's faces were obviously very cold, but after a faint glance, they looked ahead.
Long Lin stood there quietly, waiting for the emperor's arrival.
After a short time, the emperor stepped onto the dragon throne. After everyone saluted, the emperor asked them all to stand up.
Xishun walked down the stage, took the red ribbons from the hands of the cabinet ministers, and carried them to the top.
Long Lin found that among the red folds, there were actually some folds of ordinary colors. He didn't know it clearly, but he guessed that there were no suitable young women in the houses of those adults.
"Xishun, just read it."
The emperor's face was calm and full of smiles.
Ji Guang nodded respectfully and opened a folder above.
"Master Zhang selected the Fifth Highness Long Qi, who has a granddaughter in his name, who is sixteen years old and was born in..."
"Lord Zhao chose the Fifth Highness Long Qi, who has a granddaughter in his name, who is thirteen years old and was born in..."
.......
Xishun recited more than a dozen poems one by one, and he soon read them to the end. At this moment, Xishun only had the last poem left in his hand.
At the beginning, the emperor's face was very calm.
But at this moment, it can be clearly discovered that the smiling face has long since disappeared, and his face is full of cold expressions.
For twelve consecutive happy events, the chosen person was Long Qi, but surprisingly, no one chose Long Lin.
He originally thought that even if these people were not optimistic about the face of the royal family, they would definitely not let Long Lin fail openly, because the slap was not on Long Lin's cheek, but on the face of his emperor.
If he gets angry, the consequences can be imagined.
But these people were exactly the same, they all chose Long Qi. If the last person also chose Long Qi, then Long Lin would really become the biggest joke in the history of Long Dynasty this time, and he himself
As Long Lin's father, I am afraid that he would be even more shameless than Long Lin.
This was the situation he was most worried about and the one he least wanted to see. Unexpectedly, it actually happened.
Xishun had long sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and cold sweat suddenly fell down his cheeks. He turned around and glanced at the emperor cautiously, wondering whether he should recite the last happy fold as well.
If Long Lin had not been chosen, as the emperor's personal father-in-law, he would naturally know what the consequences of this matter would be. If he didn't think about it, he would still be able to retain a bit of face, at least he would not be unable to step down on the spot.
What he saw was the emperor's ice-cold eyes, which made his body tremble in fright.
The expressions of the ministers in the audience have changed a long time ago. In fact, they have never discussed this matter at all. They thought in their hearts that there will always be others who are willing to choose Long Lin so that their descendants can at least be able to
To become a princess, but once you lose the election, your status will be greatly reduced when you enter His Highness's mansion.
But I didn't expect that everyone would have the same idea. They all thought that someone from other cabinet ministers would always choose Long Lin, so they each chose Long Qi.
They also understood that this matter was just a slap in the emperor's face, and it was obvious that they were not giving him any face.
At this time, their bodies were all trembling.
Long Qi stood in front and had no idea that such a situation would happen. This was not a good thing for him. Instead, it would push him into the target of public criticism. He was also a member of the royal family, and his father was gone.
Face, how can he still have light on his face?
"Read it, I would like to hear it."
Snap.......
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor hit the armrest with his palm.
A horrifying explosion sounded in the hall, and all the ministers knelt on the ground in shock.
Long Qi's face was also very ugly. He turned his head and looked coldly at the ministers behind him. Although he also wanted to see Long Lin's joke in his heart, this matter was an exception. This was a big matter. It was about the face of the royal family, not just Long Lin.
Lin's affairs alone.
If it only concerns Long Lin, he must be happy to see it happen.
Long Lin's face was very ugly. From the moment he entered the hall, he had already discovered that he was very happy in his heart.
When Long Lin entered the court and chose his first wife, the two beautiful women in his family must have been very unhappy. In this case, they would not allow Long Lin to marry his first wife safely as he wished.
It was so noisy that he felt even more happy.
If Long Lin directly refused to marry his wife and went against his father to change the engagement, then it would be impossible for Long Lin to become the emperor, let alone the king. It is very likely that he would be imprisoned by the emperor for the rest of his life.
But these ministers all chose him, which was extremely excessive. They were simply making a joke of their family, and even more of a joke of his father. In his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with these people for a moment.
Eunuch Xishun turned around again, his body visibly trembling. He folded the last "hi" tremblingly, and when he saw the big characters on it, his face suddenly became extremely pale.
This reaction is enough to explain everything.
This last person also chose Long Qi.
"Lord Sun chose the Fifth Highness Long Qi. He has a daughter who is fifteen years old and was born...the emperor. I have finished reading."
Eunuch Xishun turned around and immediately retreated respectfully to the back.
