Chapter 911 Contemptible Scoundrel

The enthronement ceremony? Yun Shang kept silent for a moment. The enthronement ceremony was supposed to be held, but now it was not a good time as the State of Xia was suffering from domestic trouble and foreign invasion. If Luo Qingyan held the enthronement ceremony in a big way, he would be denounced.

Luo Qingyan must have known this as well. Hearing Liu Wenan's question, he frowned and sighed slightly. He said in a somewhat heavy tone, "The enthronement ceremony? Let's put it aside for a while. Our country is not peaceful and the war is not over yet. How could I have the mood to hold the enthronement ceremony?"

The corners of Liu Wenan's mouth twitched again. He looked up at the two of them and thought, The two really were family. The expressions on their faces were almost the same.

After lying on the couch for a while, Luo Qingyan looked up at Liu Wenan, who was standing aside, and said, "Go take the memorials in Meeting Hall to Weiyang Palace. Since those officials are fond of kneeling, just keep kneeling as they like. Out of sight, out of mind. I won't go to the Meeting Hall today."

Liu Wenan took a look at Luo Qingyan and answered yes. Then he walked out of the inner hall.

Yun Shang sensed something unusual. "Keep kneeling? What happened in the court?"

Luo Qingyan sneered and closed his eyes. "The old bastards have been making a scene as I asked Wuzhuangyuan, Sun Bingzhi, and Zhao Yingjie to lead troops to go on a expedition. Now there are still several officials kneeling in front of Taiji Palace. Just kneel if they like... "

Yun Shang sensed that Luo Qingyan was mad at them. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to argue with them about it. If they don't agree, then give the good chance to them to lead the army. Since they are so righteous, the male members above sixteen years old in their family should go with the army. As they are the offspring of loyal officials, they could start as centurions instead of being ordinary soldiers.

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up. She turned to Yun Shang with a smile, "You've really got a lot of tricks up your sleeves. Well, since they are so worried about the country and the people, I will surely give them the chance."

Yun Shang curled her lips into a smile, but she was still a little worried. "Now the State of Xia is facing both domestic trouble and foreign invasion, but we don't have enough soldiers to fight against them, which is really worrying. But Your Majesty seems to be very confident."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan smiled. He reached out his hand and pulled Yun Shang] to sit down beside him. Then he said softly, "I'm not that confident. I just believe that as long as we work together, there's no obstacle that we can't overcome."

After a pause, he continued, "To resist foreign aggression we must first get rid of the enemy within. Our top priority is to deal with Xia Houjing. On the surface, Zhao Yingjie and Sun Bingzhi will go for the battle, but in fact, the palace guards had already left the city on the quiet under the lead of Liu Ming. Now most of the palace guards that can be seen in the Palace are disguised by our

d seemed to be still in a daze. After a moment of silence, he quickly responded and left.

Looking at Luo Qingyan, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. "Your Majesty, why are you angry with Lord Liu for no reason?"

Luo Qingyan sighed, "I'm not angry with him. I just feel not at ease with him following me all day long."

Hearing this, Yun Shang blinked. Thinking of what she had guessed before, she asked, "With Your Majesty's martial arts, isn't it easy for you to avoid Lord Liu?"

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and didn't respond. Yun Shang was surprised. "Is Lord Liu better at kung fu than Your Majesty?"

"He is much older than me. If he is not a kung fu master, how could Xia Huanyu let Liu Wenan stay with him for so many years?" Luo Qingyan said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that the reason why Xia Huanyu put Liu Wenan by my side is not to assist me. He might have some intention of monitoring us. I'm not happy about it."

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "Anyway, His Former Majesty won't do harm to Your Majesty."

Luo Qingyan nodded casually, stood up from the couch, walked to the desk, and then took a memorial to read. Not long after, he heard someone outside asking to see him.

"Your Majesty, I have some news from Meeting Hall to report." A eunuch exclaimed outside.

Meeting hall? Hearing this, Luo Qingyan raised her head and said, "Come in."

The eunuch, who was round and amuse-looking came in from outside and knelt down in the hall in a hurry. "Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel, Lord Lin, and the former Minister of Justice, Wang Yuanjun, are requesting to see His Former Majesty outside Meeting Hall. He said the Crown Prince must have usurped the throne as His Former Majesty wouldn't have passed the throne to the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned. She remembered that Wang Yuanjun worked for Xia Houjing. He had helped the seventh Prince to slander Luo Qingyan and her. However, didn't Xia Huanyu issue an imperial edict to dismiss him? The current Minister of Justice was Li Qianmo. Why did he suddenly come out to make trouble?
