C463 Subordinate

When the palace banquet began, Luo Jianjian was arranged to sit at the main seat next to Murong Yun and the empress dowager, next to Murong Xue.

When the ministers came into the hall, they had already spotted Luo Jianjian. They all had strange looks on their faces. In the imperial court, they might be political enemies, but at this moment, they seemed to have somehow merged into one group, preparing to fight Luo Jianjian together.

When the banquet began, the officials toasted Murong Yun and the empress dowager, said a few words of congratulations, then sat down.

Murong Yun stood up and looked at the ministers majestically. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to pull Luo Jianjian, who was sitting beside him. Luo Jianjian was taken aback. She was pulled up abruptly just like that as she looked at the crowd in shock.

The noisy banquet instantly became quiet. Everyone knew what the Emperor wanted to say, but they were curious as to what the Emperor would say.

"I believe everyone here knows her. She is Luo Jianjian, the daughter of Prime Minister Luo. She was once my match daughter, and almost got married as well. "

"Your majesty."

As soon as Murong Yun spoke, the court official on the side couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Wasn't it rumored that Prime Minister Luo's daughter Luo Jianjian died in a fire more than half a year ago while she was training at the Association of 100? "Why did he suddenly appear in the capital? He still hasn't given us a reasonable explanation. If he faked his death, it would be a case of deceiving the monarch.

This official's seemingly careless words had blocked Luo Jianjian's path to the back half dead.

Murong Yun's expression was dark as he spoke in a low voice.

"Jianjian's disappearance was not an act of deceit, but at my behest. Hailuan is a neighbour of mine, so there aren't any obvious conflicts between the two nations. But this Hailuan, on the other hand, has taken the initiative to attack me every few years. Although every attack will be like an egg striking a stone, to the citizens of the Heaven's Enlightenment border, it is still a form of attack. "

Luo Jianjian looked at Murong Yun in shock, not knowing what he wanted to say. However, Murong Yun firmly held her hand and continued.

"Later on, we found out that the reason the Hailuan repeatedly attacked our Heaven's Awakening was because they encountered maritime disasters every year that affected their citizens. It was extremely miserable. So you want to take over a piece of land from me. I, Heaven's Enlightenment, originally did not have any hostile feelings towards Hailuan. Most of the seafood in Heaven's Enlightenment was provided by Hailuan. Jianjian was deeply impressed by us and thought of a good way to settle this ocean abyss. However, if we were to send the help of this duke's Hailuan, then the Hailuan would definitely be extremely suspicious and unacceptable. "Therefore, I've thought of such a method."

Hearing Murong Yun's explanation, the ministers looked at each other in dismay. Although they obviously didn't believe him, they still couldn't refute him.

Luo Jianjian pursed her lips and smiled. In her heart, she lamented the speed in which Murong Yun's head turned around. Ye Zichen didn't expect Murong Yun to praise him so much, but he was still not done yet.

"This Hailuan Ocean Calamity has been going on for a long time, and has not been resolved. But now that Jianjian had gone, it was settled. Not only that, the reason why we brought our troops to attack Hailuan this time around was entirely because of Jianjian's interference, which prevented the people from losing money, and resolved the matter peacefully. Now that Hailuan has willingly become a subordinate state of our Heaven Revelation, and has freely contributed seafood products to our Heaven Revelation, the fresh seafood in front of all your loved ones is all thanks to Jianjian. "

When Murong Yun said this, a lot of ministers, who were holding fish and shrimp in their chopsticks, stopped eating. They didn't know whether to eat or put down their chopsticks.

If he were to eat it, it would be hard to say what Luo Jianjian's problem would be later. However, if he didn't eat it, the fragrant seafood would be extremely tempting.

Even so, many of the ministers who had spoken of Luo Jianjian's unpleasantries all shut their mouths.

However, the other ministers still had the mood to talk about later matters, so they gave up on Luo Jianjian's topic and took the initiative to talk about later matters.

"Your Majesty, you have ascended the throne for some time now. This country cannot be without a mother. You have only married one wife, but Yue Qiqi who is pregnant is currently in the Cold Palace. You must quickly find a suitable mother for the little prince that is about to be born. "

Speaking of Yue Qiqi, Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun did not look too good. Luo Jianjian had been busy with the slave business and had forgotten about Yue Qiqi.

"I do want to take a look after this, but why does the little prince need to look for his mother?" When Yue Qiqi gives birth to her child, Zhen will immediately take his blood test. "

Murong Yun's words caused a commotion among the ministers. The news that Yue Qiqi was not a dragon had been spreading for a long time, but many people felt that if Yue Qiqi was not a prince, she would have already been living in the palace and wouldn't have survived until now.

What they didn't know was that if Yue Qiqi wanted to die, she wouldn't be able to, and she wouldn't be able to destroy her womb. The monster inside its stomach was growing healthy and did not seem to mind the condition of its mother.

"Your majesty, I have a suggestion for the candidate to be accepted."

After a moment of commotion, the ministers quickly changed the subject. Murong Yun looked coldly at the person who proposed the proposal, hoping that he would be more sensible towards Luo Jianjian. However, he did not.

"I choose Liu Jianhu's eldest daughter, Liu Aiyuan. She has just turned sixteen this year, and is at the same age as a flower and as beautiful as jade. They had followed General Liu to practice martial arts since they were young, and thus were different from those delicate and weak girls. However, she is proficient in both the art of music and calligraphy. She is truly a rare and extraordinary woman. "

Seeing someone recommend his daughter, Liu Jianhu smiled complacently. Liu Jianhu was the general that he personally selected after Murong Yun ascended to the throne. Originally, he was just a small deputy general.

There was nothing wrong with this person, but just like the other ministers, they hoped that their family would be able to climb the ranks of the strong, and that they would be able to keep their wits about them.2

"This subject also has a candidate. The youngest daughter of the Governor, Nie Huaiyan, is also sixteen this year. She is a well-known genius in the capital. As for the Queen, she had to be quiet and well-behaved. It's not appropriate for me to brandish my blade and make a spear. "

The choice of each of these two groups of ministers was naturally related to the interests of their own court clan. One of the main reasons why they didn't want Luo Jianjian to become the Empress was because Luo Jianjian had nothing to do with anyone's interests.

Luo Jianjian looked at the ministers' recommendation and felt a chill in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to throw Murong Yun's hand away. However, Murong Yun held her tightly.

"Enough! I will not consider your selection. "I have already decided."

Murong Yun did not explain, because it was not time yet. Now it was clear that Luo Jianjian had been hurt even more by the rebuttal from the officials.

He spoke in a language that everyone knew well, but he did not make it clear, leaving them speechless.

"Your Majesty …"

"Alright, the reason I called you all here for the banquet today is to gather and have a good time. I have my own plans for the matter after. If you want to continue, then disperse! "

The banquet had just begun, and they were already leaving. Naturally, they couldn't. The ministers could only shut their mouths resentfully.
