Chapter 219 Falling into the Devil's Den
"The prince said, let's put it aside for the moment. Miao De has just returned not long ago. If there is no corresponding merit, how can we convince the people of the country?"
King Chetuo looked around at everyone's reactions and suddenly felt confident, but then he changed the subject and mentioned another matter.
"Miao De has a predestined relationship with Buddhism. He has been practicing under Wuwu Zen Master of Wu Tian Temple since he was a child. Now that he has accomplished martial arts and returned home, I have discussed it with the Queen. My son is already at the age of 18, so he should choose a quiet, kind and virtuous man.
The lady is your wife."
"Since we are getting married, we must open a house and build teeth. Do you have any objections, dear sir?"
Only then did King Chetu reveal his true purpose.
All the ministers looked at each other silently and immediately understood King Chetuo's thoughts.
This person didn't want to establish a crown prince. He was obviously afraid that the crown prince's foundation was too shallow and would not be able to suppress the brothers, so he just slowed down and left the crown prince's position vacant to attract hatred.
The so-called opening a mansion and building a tooth means that he is allowed to cultivate his own team and power. Nowadays, the only people in the Chetuo Kingdom who are qualified to open a mansion and build a tooth are the eldest prince and the second prince.
The fourth prince, who is only three months younger than Pei Miaode, has not received this treatment yet.
"I have no objection."
As a monarch with the power of life and death, how could the ministers dare to go against this person's wishes, and they all expressed no objections.
It is tempting to be a hero from the dragon, but King Chetuo is now in his prime, and he is considering supporting him in front of this man. Do they think his life is too long?
"good."
King Chetuo touched the short beard under his chin and named a minister of the Ministry of Industry with satisfaction.
He was given full responsibility for the construction of the third prince's residence.
A few more moments later, and seeing that it was getting late and the dynasty was about to disperse, King Chetuo suddenly issued another decree, directing the third prince, Miaode, to take charge of the Shen Yao Department. As the head of the Shen Yao Department, he had the authority to deal with it.
All matters related to demons in Chetuo Kingdom.
How much power does this so-called head of the Shenyao Department have?
Nearly half of the martial arts masters in the government work for Shenyao Division. They kill first and report later. With the imperial power, anyone suspected of colluding with demons can be tortured in prison without evidence.
As for the remaining half of the masters, they naturally serve in the military.
Not only that, as the current King of Chetuo ascended to the throne, the functions of the Shenyao Division were further expanded, and sometimes they could even cross the yamen and intervene in major criminal cases.
It can be called the king's minion.
Putting Pei Miaode in such an important position, King Chetuo said nothing, but he seemed to have said everything.
As soon as the court left, many officials took advantage of their positions to get close to Pei Miaode.
Now that he had decided to join the world, Pei Miaode naturally stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man. He joked and laughed with the Yuanwailang, and then took over the words of Wu Xun. With the experience of entering the court as an official in his second life, Pei Miaode quickly let these interested people know.
Officials who were close to him felt refreshed.
After chatting for a while, the maid sent by Queen Shanyin freed him.
It is the queen's right to choose the prince and concubine. Queen Son Eum dotes on Bae Myo Deok, so how could she not let him see the choice of the prince and concubine with his own eyes.
After going to the side hall and changing into regular clothes, Pei Miaode followed the maidservants and finally walked through a secret passage and arrived behind a screen.
Looking through the screen, I saw plump and thin young women sitting obediently on both sides of Queen Shanyin. They wanted to have a good chat with Queen Shanyin. Among them were those who had stayed in Bui Myaude's palace earlier.
Yunyao.
It's just that now Yun Yao doesn't look as lively and active as before at all. She sits in a dignified and polite manner, and she looks like a princess without the need for clothes.
Pei Miaode silently opened his Dharma Eyes. Sure enough, in his vision, the well-behaved and virtuous Ninth Princess of Yunlan Kingdom was just a bluff. The real person had gone crazy and played somewhere.
Looking at the women around him, Pei Miaode could hardly hold himself any longer.
Except for the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Wenyu's family, the others all showed a demonic appearance, including the Qingqiu fox with sharp teeth, the weasel demon with cunning eyes, the timid and shy rabbit demon...
Pei Miaode felt for a moment that he had fallen into a demon's nest, and felt uncomfortable all over his body.
The movement here cannot be hidden from the demons over there. Seeing the real master appear, the demons with their own agendas work even harder. A group of hundred-year-old demons are able to deceive a woman who will not live longer than a few years.
Queen Shanyin looked at the pretty faces of the girls and fell into deep thought for a moment.
After another cup of tea, Queen Shanyin excused herself and walked out of the side hall, and soon came to Pei Miaode's side.
"Wang Er, which of these women has caught your eye?"
Queen Shanyin told the identities of several people one by one, and then looked at Pei Miaode expectantly.
"As far as I am concerned, the little girl from the Wen family is dignified and dignified. I feel pity for the little princess from Qingqiu Kingdom. But if I want to say which one pleases my mother the most, it must be the princess from Yunlan Kingdom."
"Yun Yao" was still sitting dignifiedly, looking down at the cup from time to time, showing a bewildered smile.
Do you call this sneaky guy satisfied?
Pei Miaode twitched the corner of his mouth, but still agreed without conscience.
"The queen mother and the child really have a good understanding of each other, and the child also fell in love with the ninth princess of Yunlan Kingdom at first sight."
Pei Miaode boasted against his will.
"Since you like it, then it's her."
Queen Shanyin made the final decision.
…
After Nacai, the auspicious day for Pei Miaode's wedding soon arrived.
Early in the morning, the honorable ministers and ministers gathered in the palace. Each palace was equipped with firecrackers and large candles with red gilding double happiness characters. The royal road was paved with red felt.
The wedding ceremony of the queen's legitimate son was different from that of the second life. After all, it was a marriage between the two royal families. It was less of a happy atmosphere and more solemn and solemn.
Zhonghe Shao music is located in front of Renhe Hall, and Danbi music is located inside Tiande Gate.
The ceremony for welcoming the bride is displayed outside the Meridian Gate. Among them is a ceremonial carriage for the prince and concubine, covered with an apricot-yellow satin curtain, with patterns of phoenixes, birds and animals embroidered with gold thread, which is auspicious and auspicious.
The female musicians are located behind the Chengqian Palace and in front of the Dayuan Palace.
The qualified princes and ministers stood jubilantly under His Majesty Renhe Palace, intending to take part in the royal joy.
Official Honglu of the Ministry of Rites, as the official envoy to welcome the bride, stood at the front of the hundred officials. Until this moment, he was still telling Pei Miaode that the etiquette of welcoming the bride should not lose the dignity of the superior state of Chetuo Kingdom.
After a while, King Chetuo came to the main hall, and all the civil and military officials immediately fell down to worship him like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and saluted King Chetuo to congratulate him on his great happiness.
Look at the Chetuo King Pei Mouzheng looking very good today. He climbed onto the throne with a smile, ordered all the civil and military officials to stand up, and gave the inscriptions and seals for appointing princes and concubines together.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu, received the festival, books, and treasures, and then went straight to the Meridian Gate to greet the prince and concubine.
