Chapter 192 Shengjing Draft (2)
Chunsheng was afraid of getting lost, so he carefully grabbed a corner of Nangong Yu's clothes.
Nangong Yuze looked at the flower path with fascination at the men with splendid faces and exquisite beauties. They were all dressed up carefully, from their hair to their clothes, everything was unique. Such thoughts make people linger.
Although he has never compared his appearance with others, Nangong Yu has known that he is better-looking than ordinary people since he was a child. The older he gets, the clearer he becomes.
In the past, a good-looking face could only help him fill his belly and live in poverty, so he was not proud of his appearance.
However, when he discovered that if he lost his only advantage, what else could he use for revenge?
Chun Sheng saw that Nangong Yu kept staring at Xiu Nan without saying a word. She bit her lower lip, hesitantly approached him and whispered: "Master, now Xu Shanshan is the Yue Emperor, what is the palace? There is no place, we don’t have it Relationship, I can't enter the palace at all..."
Nangong Yu's mentality has changed drastically now. He doesn't want to die. He wants to know the truth of everything. For this, he can give up everything and sacrifice everything.
Coming to Shengjing was not only Xu Shanshan's introduction to him, but also Nangong Yu's inevitable itinerary. Only when he got here did he realize how small and humble people like them were at the feet of the so-called emperor.
As long as Xu Shanshan doesn’t see him, it will be difficult for him to see her.
"...Chunsheng, maybe, I can also enter the palace."
Chunsheng suddenly opened his eyes wide and understood instantly, but her first reaction was not to feel sad for herself, but to worry about Nangongyu's situation.
She pushed aside the obstructing crowd and took Nangong Yu to a secluded alley. On both sides of the alley were low gray-tiled white walls, and the humid air was filled with mist and rain.
The two looked at each other with a thousand words in each other's eyes.
“I know that we have always treated each other as husband and wife outside, but we are not actually married. But young master, you...were once a prostitute. This is recorded on the photo album. Once the government checks, you are It's impossible to pass the official test." Chunsheng tried to convince him for the last time.
But Nangong Yu curled her lips and smiled. It was as if something had awakened in him at this moment. The delicate and charming demeanor that he had in the past completely blended in with his unique face and complemented each other.
Perfectly charming, perhaps should not only be used to describe women. Once a man becomes seduced, it becomes a more fatal attraction.
"Why not? Do you think... I'm not as good-looking as those men?"
Chun Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and she even dared not look directly at Nangong Yu now: "You Very good, beautiful, but Yes..."
"You want to say that just looking good is useless, right? But as long as you find the right way, nothing is impossible. I have my own way to solve the prostitution in me. Seal.”
Nangong Yu learned this from Yaomei, who became the adopted daughter of the city lord. As long as you are willing to abandon some unnecessary moral principles and are cruel and vicious enough, nothing can be done.

In the Hall of Taihe, Emperor Yue was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. The ministers below were dressed in court uniforms. They lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, holding their breath and concentrating.
"So you don't agree to send troops to attack Wei Ran, nor do you agree to attack Xi Liang?"
The atmosphere in the court hall was solemn.
"Your Majesty, if we take the initiative to send troops... we will win the battle. If we lose, the majesty and morale of our Holy Capital will never recover."
A minister stepped out of the queue and said respectfully After saluting, he began to state his thoughts. He spoke carefully and glanced at the emperor's expression from time to time.
“Wei Ran is a place under the jurisdiction of King Ke. It has been managed properly in recent years. Not only has the territory developed into a rich and rich country, but it has also been stationed with a large number of troops. It is one of the most difficult city gates in Jingguo to conquer...”
“It is better to live in peace and harmony than to launch a mutiny. Something..."
Every time they finished speaking, the ministers seemed to be leaving the water to catch their breath. There was a long pause, but in this silence, their words stayed in this majestic atmosphere for a long time. It echoed in the palace, which made people's hearts tighten even more. "Does your beloved have any other opinions?"
Emperor Yue raised his eyes slightly, neither happy nor angry, his thoughts were like the deep sea, difficult to fathom.
"Your Majesty, when the seven kings rebelled, they declared themselves emperors after returning to their respective territories. Their ambitions were already obvious. However, the court situation at that time was complicated and it was impossible to make a decision. But when it comes to national law, the seven kings The crimes should be brought back to Beijing and executed one by one."
Major General Huo also stepped out of the queue. He had a tall and straight posture, a stern face, and deep eyes.
"What General Huo said is reasonable, and I agree."
"I second the proposal."
"I believe that the majesty of the royal family is inviolable. The affairs of the seven kings must be explained to the world. I agree with your majesty's sending troops."
Now both the civil and military parties are at ease. They are divided, but each has his own reasons and concerns.
"How to send troops? Over the past few years, the national treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and disasters have occurred in various places. It has long been extremely poor."
"The soldiers, horses, and food are also in short supply. In the early years, Before, the strong soldiers and horses had been occupied by the seven kings and flowed into their territories. This has long been a foregone conclusion, but what can be done now.”
"Even now, the court is not afraid of others hearing the joke. It is just an empty shelf. It looks good, but it is empty inside."
"Who doesn't want to kill the rebels, regain the rivers and mountains, and unify the world? ? We ministers have the heart, but we don’t have the power.”
“ I just hope that the Seven Kings will not be in a hurry to attack Shengjing. It is a blessing that we will take the initiative to send troops..."
"Silence——"
The eunuch's high-pitched voice interrupted. They had been holding back their inner vent for a long time, and when they realized how presumptuous they had just been, they immediately lowered their heads and kept silent, feeling extremely flustered.
"I have listened to the opinions of all the ministers. Since it is not appropriate to send troops to exterminate the rebels at the moment, we will focus on the implementation of reforms. Do you have any objections to this matter?"
The morning light was shining, Emperor Yue was sitting upright. Above, the pearls swayed slightly, covering her unfathomable gaze. She remained calm amidst the changes in the court.
They fight, they don't fight, they get along, they don't get along, she just looks at them with a scrutinizing look.
That kind of pressure is simply irresistible.
“No, no opinion, of course.”
How dare they.
"Your Majesty, as for the male selection this time... shall we follow the Ministry of Etiquette's practice, or does Your Majesty have other arrangements?" The Ministry of Rites asked about the imminent matters first.
Draft boy?
Emperor Yue asked: "What is the practice?"
The Minister of Rites quickly replied: "In the past, women were selected by audition, palace, and palace, and the final ones were personally reviewed by your Majesty. , those who obtain the Sacred Heart can be assigned a status and live in the harem.”
"Where is the selection now?"
"There are a total of 1,674 finalists in this year's audition. After strict review by local government agencies, only 750 boys who meet the requirements remain. Six people.”
