Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 192 Demon Queen: What a Bull (Subscribe)

Qianqing Palace.

After the morning court session, Zhu Qizhen held a small court meeting here. This was already a regular practice. All the ministers knew that the emperor would summon key ministers for a small court meeting, and they did not necessarily have to hold high positions. For example, Ke Qian, who was only a seventh-rank university scholar, could also attend the small court meeting.

Some officials, even if they were ministers, might not be able to attend the small court meetings. The officials regarded the opportunity to attend the small court meetings as a recognition from the emperor, and they all dreamed of one day being able to attend the small court meetings.

Zhu Qizhen discussed the imperial examination and the Southeast Anti-Japanese War at the small court meeting. Mobei has been stable recently, and his mind is on these two things. The cabinet chief Shang Lu and the Minister of Rites Yang Shan reported the detailed progress, and Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied.

Since the new policy, the government and the people have changed a lot. The ministers are full of energy because they can see that the Emperor is a sage. Now is the right time, who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to leave their name in history?

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Goryeo has also come to the Imperial Academy to study this time." Minister of Rites Yang Shan reported, "She requested to see the Emperor."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I am honored to be your guest, who has come from afar."

Yang Shan bowed: "She is already waiting outside the palace."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and waved his hand to let the ministers go about their business. He himself summoned the eldest princess of Goryeo. After a while, a bright girl came to the hall under the leadership of the eunuch chief Cao Jixiang.

She bowed her head and respectfully paid homage to Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and smiled: "Stand up and raise your head."

The eldest princess raised her head, and the two looked at each other, both shocked.

"It's you." Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly. It turned out to be the Korean girl he met on the street last time.

"I have offended the majesty of heaven, please forgive me, Your Majesty." The eldest princess was obviously a little flustered.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. You don't have to be so reserved. In the future in Ming Dynasty, don't be arrogant and domineering. My people will be very friendly."

"Yes~" The eldest princess bowed.

. . . .

Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on her. This girl had a delicate face and youthful brightness. She looked to be about eighteen years old. She was not very old, so how come she was the eldest princess?

"I remember that your King Li Rong is over 40 years old? Are you his sister?" he asked curiously.

The eldest princess suddenly knelt down, tears falling from her eyes: "Your Majesty, that is my father, the king. He... has passed away two years ago."

Zhu Qizhen was shocked: "What? Why didn't I receive the report?"

The princess shed tears and continued, "My brother has succeeded to the throne, but my uncle, Prince Suyang Yi Yu, is the regent."

Zhu Qizhen was not familiar with the history of Goryeo, but he had watched Korean dramas and remembered Lee Seo, who later became the king of Goryeo.

"Is your brother a minor? Why is your uncle the regent?" he asked again.

"No!" the princess cried, "It was my uncle who launched the Jingnan Campaign and purged the ministers around my brother. He wants to be regent. Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish my uncle and return power to my brother."

Jingnan?

Damn, do all uncles like to play this trick? It was Zhu Di who corrupted the atmosphere.

"Tell me in detail." Zhu Qizhen said.

The princess described the process in detail. It turned out that the year before, Prince Suyang of Goryeo, Yi Seo, launched the "Geeyou Rebellion" and eliminated the ministers headed by Kim Jong-seo and Hwangbo-in who assisted King Danjong, as well as his younger brother Prince Anpyeong, and actually took control of Goryeo.

Zhu Qizhen guessed that next, Li Shuo would force the young Goryeo king to abdicate, just like Zhu Di. It sounds like Li Shuo is also a man of great talent and strategy.

"I understand." Zhu Qizhen said to the princess, "However, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Since you have arrived in Ming Dynasty, you should settle down first and study hard in the Imperial Academy."

The eldest princess knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and she retreated.

He looked at the memorial submitted by the Princess of Goryeo, in which her name was Li Ling, and she was indeed a smart girl. However, he could not do what Li Ling said now.

Although Ming was the suzerain of Goryeo, it was not possible to change the situation in Goryeo by issuing an imperial decree, and Li Yu would not give up his ambitions. In fact, the best way was to confer the title of Li Yu. Anyway, it was not an internal matter of Ming. As long as they continued to regard Ming as the suzerain, who would matter who was the king?

All this depends on Li Liao's attitude. As the king of Goryeo, he has to take the initiative to report to the Ming Dynasty to express his loyalty, and the Ming Dynasty will confer a title on him.

You have to give face to the suzerain country, right?

. . . . .

Night falls.

The fake emperor was so busy that his stomach growled, and then he got up and went to Kunning Palace. It was already spring, and government affairs were getting busy. Moreover, the imperial examination was coming soon, so he had to review more memorials every day.

Arriving at Kunning Palace, he saw that the main hall was quiet. He looked around, wondering where everyone had gone. At this time, footsteps were heard, and the Demon Queen came out of the inner hall. She had obviously just finished bathing, wearing a loose robe, revealing her round shoulders, showing her beautiful curves, and a pair of long, white and straight legs, which made him unable to help but look at her a few more times.

"Where is Shuangxi?" The fake emperor walked over.

"I want some quiet time, so I told them all to go and rest." The Demon Queen blinked her beautiful eyes.

The fake emperor walked over, put his arm around her slender waist, and smelled the familiar intoxicating fragrance. The witch queen stretched out her arms and hooked his neck, blinking her charming eyes slightly, and said in a soft and elegant voice: "This is the palace, don't be so blatant..."

She moaned and her red lips were blocked.

They both lost themselves in the moment, and after a while, they couldn't breathe anymore, so they let go. The Demon Queen leaned in his arms and sighed, "It would be great if we could stay in that courtyard for two days every month. When we go there, we can both forget our identities."

The false emperor looked down at her, her skin was as white as jade, and because she had just finished bathing, there was still a trace of water stains on the surface. He lost control a little and gradually hugged her tightly.

The Demon Queen slowly closed her beautiful eyes and tacitly allowed his evil hands to do evil.

The false emperor held her in his arms and walked towards the soft mat.

Bang!

Falling on the soft mat, the Demon Queen instantly came to her senses, pushed him away with both hands, her face flushed, bit her lip and said, "Get out of the way, my waist hit the corner of the table."

The fake emperor slowly let go of her and reached out to stroke her waist. He had kissed her too intensely just now, and when she fell down, her waist hit the corner of the table on the soft seat.

"Let me rub it for you." He smiled gently.

The Demon Queen looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes. Her seductive lips moved slightly, revealing a bit of grievance and dissatisfaction: "You only know how to bully me. You are such a savage."

The fake emperor rubbed her waist and rolled his eyes: "When can we become a real couple?"

The Demon Queen leaned her head on his shoulder and panted softly, "When we no longer have to worry about our identities, I will live in seclusion in the courtyard, and we can be an ordinary couple."

The fake emperor stroked her cool hair and frowned slightly: "In a few days, I will take you to live in the courtyard for two days, just like an ordinary couple."

The demon queen lowered her head in shame, her face blushing to the root of her neck, and she reached out and patted him a few times. The false emperor grabbed her hands and moved closer.

"Shuangxi and the others will be here soon."

"Well, I have to go find Consort Xian, too."

The Demon Queen chuckled, raised an eyebrow at him, and gave him a gentle push.
