Volume 1: The Regent's Turbulence 048 This king's goods won't be delivered outside

  "Your Highness, I... " Mu Hanjin's face was slightly flushed with regret, wondering how he had just bumped into...

  Feng Ao Tian pressed down on Mu Han Jin's body, lightly kissing his lips that carried a faint coolness. He seemed clear as water, yet always made her want to explore and lift the mysterious veil off his face.

  On the Golden Throne, Phoenix proudly sits at the top of the phoenix throne, with Qianlong on one side. The thrilling scene in the imperial court yesterday is still vivid in my mind. The left and right chancellors are now closed for reflection, and the officials below bow their heads and stand respectfully, not daring to speak.

  Lan Yun Shu bid farewell to Feng Ao Tian early this morning and headed to Lianghuai without any delay.

  Mu Hanjin wore a official robe, standing upright with respect. His originally handsome face now looked even more elegant and refined. The officials in the court were extremely familiar with Mu Hanjin. They remembered how he used to be so arrogant and proud of his talents, looking down on everyone else, with great literary talent but unwilling to enter the imperial court as an official. Even when the previous emperor visited his residence three times to recruit him, he remained unmoved.

  But in just two years, the Mu Mansion's prosperity was no longer what it used to be. Mu Han was demoted and exiled, while Mu Hanjin surrendered himself to the Regent King, becoming a male concubine. That proud and arrogant man who had once declared that he would never enter officialdom in this lifetime - the number one talent of Feng Guo - now stood alongside them, truly proving that life is unpredictable.

  At this moment, Mu Hanjin's heart was even more mixed with five flavors. Two years of torture had already ground his temperament. He had finally set foot on the path of officialdom. In those years, his master had divined for him that if he entered the court, it would be a time of great chaos in the world. It was both timing and fate. Over the years, he had repeatedly tried to escape this predetermined fate, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the shackles of fate. She was destined to be his calamity.

  Feng Ao Tian coldly swept her gaze over the faces of the officials below, and on the way back to the capital, she had already re-examined the officials serving in the court. With the memorials she reviewed over the past two days and the messages brought back by the people she sent out, she roughly understood the current situation of Feng Guo, which can be summarized in eight words: "The people are struggling to survive, desolate everywhere."

  She turned her eyes and glanced at Feng Yin Qi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, with a stern expression, revealing a majestic aura, looking straight ahead without showing any emotions.

  Feng Ao Tian's mouth curled up in a cold smile. This little guy, small but with a big personality. However, the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the country internally. If the people are not at peace, the country will not be stable. Although Feng Guo is just a small border country, one day it will become the strongest country on this continent.

  Her eyes slightly dimmed, she waved the decree in her hand gently and it fell into Mu Hanjin's hands. In a cold voice, she said, "Have this imperial edict read aloud from now on, effective immediately."

  "Yes." Mu Hanjin held the letter with both hands and replied respectfully. He then opened the letter and looked at what was written on it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. For the past two days, he had been with her day and night, so when did she do these things? Moreover, this didn't seem like something she would do.

  This was a dispatch order, he lightly raised his slightly clear voice, like a gentle stream, yet with a steady tone, reading out the contents of the dispatch without missing a single word.

  The officials in the court listened carefully, but they were half joyful and half worried. The ones who were happy were those young and capable officials who had not been reused for a long time, while the ones who were worried were those old ministers who had been making arbitrary decisions every day, relying on their seniority to bully others. This edict was going to thoroughly reshuffle the positions of all officials in the court, and even promote some talented but low-ranking officials, while some powerful old ministers would have their power divided.

  Mo Hanjin's words fell, and the ministers were silent, some of whom were shocked and unable to recover for a long time, while others were terrified.

  Feng Yin Qi was carefully listening, turning his eyes to glance at Feng Ao Tian, but he had another thought in mind. He did not expect the Regent King to make such a move, thoroughly adjusting the officials, and more importantly, among them were some of the Right Prime Minister's proud disciples. However, weighing the pros and cons, some of the Left Prime Minister's disciples were also promoted, while those officials who feared the Regent King's power had some of their ranks lowered in disguise due to flattery and fawning.

  He was somewhat puzzled, why did the Regent Uncle want to do so? Was it that this trip to the border had really changed her mind? Had she come to realize the current situation, and therefore, on this return, there was such a big move, wanting to take control of the government?

  Feng Ao Tian saw that everyone had not responded, and in a low voice, "What objections do you have? If there are any objections, I will personally clarify them."

  The officials finally came to their senses, and were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat. To let the Regent King himself dispel the doubts, wasn't that seeking death? They hastily knelt down and said in unison, "Your subjects obey your orders!"

  Feng Ao Tian Ce Mou looked at Feng Yin Qi and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any dissenting opinion?"

  Feng Yin Qiu turned his gaze, staring at Feng Ao Tian, and smiled kindly, "I think this arrangement is very good, everything will be carried out according to the Regent King's edict."

  Feng Ao Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he continued, "The imperial examination is imminent, this is a major event for the court to select talents, this matter is of utmost importance, so it will be handed over to Mu Yu Shi himself to supervise."

  All the officials heard this and thought that nowadays, officials are scarce, and most of the talented people either fled or were kept by the regent in the palace. Even if there were any left, they didn't dare to come forward to send themselves to death. Now, they had passed on this hot potato to Mu Hanjin, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Just as the officials were thinking to themselves and secretly rejoicing, Feng Ao Tian's icy voice rang out, "You have many talented young masters in your households, this king remembers each and every one of them. At the spring trials, if I don't see them, then this king won't guarantee that they will thoroughly disappear."

  The old ministers were frightened, their legs trembling with fear. They had thought they had escaped disaster, but it seemed they still couldn't avoid this calamity. They didn't even have time to wipe away the cold sweat, and in their hearts, they secretly cursed Feng Ao Tian. This regent king was truly ruthless and venomous.

  Feng Ao Tian gazed at Feng Yin Qi, "The son of the Right Chancellor has been traveling abroad for several years, now is the time to return."

  Feng Yu followed her gaze, dispelling the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly smiled, "It seems it's time to come back."

  After the early morning, Feng Rou Qian looked at Feng Ao Tian's back as he left, and suddenly let out a breath of relief. The palms of his hands hidden in his dragon robe were already filled with sweat. He stood up from the dragon chair, turned around, and walked out of the Golden Hall.

  But he saw Feng Ao Tian standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from him. Beside her, Mu Han Jin stood with his head bowed, the two people's equally handsome and unparalleled slender bodies. Now, as the sky gradually brightened, the morning light poured down, spilling onto their bodies, like a scroll of celestial painting, dazzling to behold.

  He suppressed the thoughts in his heart, took a step forward, and stood behind her with a small figure, looking very tiny. "Regent King Uncle, are you waiting for me?"

  "Your Majesty, it seems you've forgotten something that belongs to me." Feng Ao Tian turned around, looking down at him with a sly smile, "My things are never delivered externally."
