Chapter 261 Queen of the West Palace
Sun Long: "General Dingsheng, you are so heroic and have the appearance of an immortal. You have defeated Luo Yu and won the hearts of the people of Dachang. Therefore, I specially confer the title of Marshal Changsheng. You will go to the Puwan front from now on to serve the country loyally."
Baili Yong's order came suddenly. Ran Qianxi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but Tan Qianhuan in the dark understood a little.
Pu Wan Station line guard Ji Guo is the head coach. There is no intention to remove the head coach, nor to appoint a new head coach. He is just doing his best to assist. The two have been in a tit-for-tat relationship since they met. Now that Luo Yu has just won the battle, he is ordered to work under Wei Ji Guo. This is simply to tell Ran Qianxi that the honor and favor of the Ran family depends on his decision.
Ran Yuelian knew the hidden meaning of this, and although he was reluctant to disobey the emperor's order, he had to accept the order and express his gratitude.
Ran Qiongxi: "I obey your order and thank you for your grace."
Sun Long wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic and picked up an imperial edict.
"Ran Yuelian, the president of the Hanlin Academy, received the order."
No one in the hall got up.
"The minister is here."
Sun Long swallowed nervously. He knew what these imperial edicts meant, and he also knew the consequences of angering Tan Qianhuan in Jizhou.
"President of the Hanlin Academy, you have served diligently for more than 20 years. I am very grateful to you. Now that our dynasty is short of talents, I intend to increase the number of imperial examinations and order you to return to the court immediately to add talents to the country."
The two imperial edicts trapped his father and brother, and Baili Yong was imprisoning them in disguise.
Ran Yuelian: "I obey the order."
Sun Long became more and more nervous. There was only one imperial edict left. He took it with trembling hands.
Baili Yong had said before that if anyone disobeyed his order, he would pay with his life, so since Ran Qianxi was an unknown, Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi had to be taken away.
"Han...Hanlin Academy...the daughter of the president, Ran Qianxi, received the order..."
"Your servant accepts the order."
The father and his two sons in the hall were all worried, knowing that this imperial edict contained a profound meaning. The moment Ran Qianxi knelt down, the worst result came.
"The second young lady of the Ran family is beautiful and intelligent, intelligent, gentle, graceful, and dignified. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, loved by heaven, and has received my deep affection and my love. She is naturally famous in the harem. Therefore, I have thought deeply, followed the wishes of the late emperor, and followed the rules of history books. I have specially appointed her as the Queen of the West Palace and granted her the residence in the Yifeng Palace. I will enter the palace to perform the ceremony of canonization on the eve of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I respect you..."
The imperial edict had been issued. No matter how shocked and frightened everyone was, no matter how reluctant and unwilling everyone was, the only thing she needed was to wear the phoenix crown to clearly make her the empress of Dachang.
In the previous life, he suffered for not disobeying the imperial order. In this life, he told Baili Yong several times that he did not want to enter the palace, but the imperial edict was still issued against his will.
Tan Qianhuan, who was outside the door, had already guessed that he would have this trick. The only thing he could do now was to take the risk and fight for his beloved woman in the limited time left in his official career.
His mind was not in a panic, but his expression revealed worry. His lover, who was kneeling on the ground, had not yet received his order, and he was afraid that the woman in front of him would become someone else's wife again.
Ran Qianxi: "I... am unwilling to accept your order!"
Sun Long was suddenly shocked!
"You...you...you dare to disobey my order..."
Tan Qianhuan smiled brightly, his heart felt as clear as the sky.
Ran Qianxi: "Not wanting to accept the order is not disobeying the order. Your Majesty should know that I already have an engagement."
"Oh, Second Miss, what can that scholar give you? His Majesty has made you the Queen of the West Palace, second only to the emperor and above all others!"
She suddenly stood up, and Sun Long leaned back subconsciously.
"Your Majesty knows that I do not want to enter the palace in this lifetime, and you also know that I do not want to be either the Imperial Noble Consort or the Queen of the Western Palace."
Sun Long: "Hey, tell me what's going on? If you disobey the order, you have to think about the consequences for others!"
Ran Qianxi was also walking on thin ice at this time. She knew the consequences of her actions, so she took a deep breath and said, "I know he must have threatened you with your life, just like he threatened me with my father and brother. Tell him that I don't need such a husband."
Sun Long became even more anxious!
"Second Miss, that's the emperor."
"I know, but the emperor doesn't force people to do things. Go back and tell him I want to talk to him."
Sun Long: "Second Miss, can't you see it? This matter cannot be discussed. Your Majesty is the emperor."
Ran Qianxi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Whether the negotiation is successful or not is my business. You just need to report truthfully."
At this moment, a large number of armored guards suddenly rushed in from outside the door and surrounded the main hall. Sun Long trembled tremblingly. Then, Tan Qianhuan's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Sun Long: "King of Jibei...you...you...are you planning a rebellion..."
The appearance of Tan Qianhuan made Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi frown!
He walked calmly to Sun Long, picked up the imperial edict and took a look at it. His careless action made him even more frightened.
"How dare I rebel? It seems that Your Majesty does not value Jizhou's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers."
"How dare you, King Jibei, you are so arrogant and proud of your talents, and you dare to speak nonsense here?"
Tan Qianhuan snorted disdainfully: "Humph, Sun Nei Shi is in my Jizhou territory, he has nothing and is unarmed, who on earth is making such a fuss?"
After he finished speaking, he placed the imperial edict on the incense table, walked towards Ran Yuelian and helped him up.
"It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind. Two imperial edicts, one to suppress General Ran and one to control Dean Ran. Is it because Shu Xuanhe didn't tell him that the virtuous king is still in my Jizhou prison?"
Sun Long: "You bold traitor, what dare you do to the virtuous king?"
Tan Qianhuan laughed a few times but did not tell him about Baili Shang's situation.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, do you mean that we must take the people of the Ran family away today?"
"How?"
Tan Qianhuan turned around gracefully, and the armored guards immediately pointed their spears at Sun Long. At this critical moment, Ran Yuelian turned the situation around.
"King Jibei, there is no need to be angry."
Tan Qianhuan glanced at him and he bowed.
"I think the King of Jibei has misunderstood your majesty. My son and I are the subjects of Dachang and the subjects of the emperor. The emperor has issued an edict and we will serve with all our heart and soul. I think my son has the talent to be a general. Pu Wan will definitely work with General Wei to wipe out the villains. I will also do my best to help Dachang. I am also worried about the matter of the Queen of the West Palace, but it is a matter between my son and the emperor. I only need to return when summoned and I will have fulfilled my duty as an official in the court."
He knew that this trip would be a sea of suffering but as a minister he had to be loyal. Besides, the outcome was not yet determined, so he naturally could not stay in Jizhou. If Tan Qianhuan failed, it would be tantamount to treason. Since three imperial edicts were drafted for the three matters, it proved that there was a subtle connection between them.
Sun Long finally put his mind at ease after a day's worry.
"Then please pack up quickly and go with me."
Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi nodded, and Ran Qianxi turned back suddenly, as if he understood something from his brother's eyes; 'The King of Jibei can be trusted.'
