Chapter 121 Monsters
At the court meeting, the emperor randomly picked one out of the basket of 'major events' before going to court, and took a look, um, what the hell is the southern border rebellion!
It's been an eventful time!Huh?
It's really autumn, a good idiom, it really fits the season!
At the court meeting, he sneered slightly at the civil and military officials who were in a state of embarrassment and were flustered and exhausted by the sudden start of the court meeting, and said in a hypocritical tone of "emotions and anger are invisible" (dead faces): " Don’t you know how important southern Xinjiang is? All the bells are ringing and the food is served, and the world is honored and the world is green. Don’t you take my salary and do your duty for the world? I pray for the world in the Taimiao, and I don’t sleep for days , mentally and mentally exhausted, you spend your days and nights in Chunxiang Building, Shixiu Building, and Furong Building, don't think I don't know!"
A large group of people were so frightened that they knelt down: "I dare not wait."
"The emperor forgives the crime."
The emperor said righteously: "Gentlemen don't hide in the dark room. After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, you dare to speak wildly in front of singers, dancers and subordinates. Could it be that you forced me to go to the Taimiao to pray? Yin, do you still compare yourself to Huo Guang?"
All the ministers: "The emperor calm down."
"Your Majesty, please extinguish the fury of thunder."
[It must have been held back in the Taimiao for several days! ]
[Pooh! ]
[I have been sleepless for several days, and my heart and mind are haggard. You lie to ghosts, and ghosts will not believe you.No one is staring at anyone who is not going to sleep late. ]
The emperor scolded them for another 3 minutes, saying that he was tired, so he took a drink of water to take a break, stared coldly at the five officials who were about to be dismissed, and asked some questions about their jobs.Four people failed to answer and were dismissed on the spot.
Qin Zhongyu broke out in a cold sweat in the ranks of censors, my God, in fact, he hasn't done anything serious in the Ministry of Criminal Justice these days.
The ministers were all in the same spirit, and they would plead for mercy with these few people normally, but seeing the emperor was so angry, they didn't dare to plead for mercy, lest they would implicate themselves.They all shut up silently and listened to the emperor swearing silently.
The emperor was secretly relieved, and said a few words coldly: "The locust disaster in Jin is caused by officials not cultivating virtue and making people angry,,, Nanjiang dared to offend people in such a tiny place, the king of Nan'an County sent troops to suppress the rebellion After a few days, I couldn't keep it closed. Isn't the land in southern Xinjiang my territory? Isn't the people in southern Xinjiang my people?
I asked the servant of the household department how many people were affected by the disaster in Jin, how many counties and counties the locust plague has spread, and how many acres the disaster area is, but he couldn't answer it! (Crack!) Does it mean that if I don’t go to court, you won’t work?Don't think that if you are not in front of me, I don't know what happened. Everyone in the world is my eyes and ears!Ten eyes are watching, ten hands are pointing, you dare to neglect your duties, shouldn't I praise you for daring to risk the disgrace of the world?Um? "
He glanced in the direction of the Ministry of Industry, the second son of Rongguo Mansion is also among the group of nobles who are going to be liquidated, well, in the name of the noble concubine, they can be wiped out, okay~
"I am frightened."
"I am ashamed."
"I know I'm wrong."
The emperor was furious and his anger was quite reasonable. No one dared to question his reputation.After going down to court, he happily jumped up and down twice. As soon as he left the Golden Luan Hall, he saw the queen's phoenix chariot waiting for him. He stepped onto the phoenix chariot in two steps: "My lady~"
The queen took a good night's sleep after breakfast, guessing that he was going to go down in half an hour, so she came here, and now she is in good spirits.With a gentle and bright smile, he got up and blessed him: "The Emperor Wan'an. (being supported) Why is your voice hoarse?"
The emperor smiled a little embarrassedly, rubbed his eyes and sat down, put his arms around the queen, sighed and was silent for a while, and whispered in her ear with a hoarse voice: "I pretend to be a Mingjun, and the appearance of a Mingjun is easy to pretend." , the ancients came here as they pretended to be, I didn't expect this group of people in the court to be ashamed. Today I became a tyrant, regardless of whether I was right or wrong, it was really happy, my voice of cursing was hoarse, and I didn't care about it. People dare to talk back, and the next court is earlier than before.
Normally, when I make a decree, I have to push it three times and block it four times, and I can't do it for a long time. Today, I dismissed three ministers and one young minister, and no one dared to speak. "
The empress really loved him, hugged the emperor and whispered, "Your majesty... I know you are suffering."
The emperor said softly: "If I am too gentle and refined, all the courtiers will bully me. If I become a tyrant at all, I am afraid that there will only be flattering villains around me. I will be blocked by my words and gradually be induced by them. Go astray and ruin my world.
It is really tiring for me to give our children a country that is several times better than the country taught to me by the Supreme Emperor.You have a few days of anger every month, how about I also compromise, and have a few days of grumpy temper every month to scare them? "
The queen was about to cry out of distress, and hugged the emperor: "Your majesty, you always say that Mr. Zhuo is your right-hand man, that he is good at planning, knows all kinds of secret things, and is good at solving difficult and unsolvable problems. Why didn't you see that you used him?"
The emperor sighed and complained in a low voice: "Without him, I wouldn't be so angry. He investigated what the officials had done in the past few days, and [-]% of the officials skipped work to visit friends, and [-]% of them skipped work." Ban went to drink flowers and wine with friends, including six Shangshu."
The queen comforted him dryly: "Isn't this still [-]% dedicated to work?"
"Fart, only [-]% stay in the yamen, not necessarily working or not." The emperor gritted his teeth and snorted angrily: "Another day, when they drive me crazy, I'll just fool the king and just stay there and kill the ministers for fun. Anyway, every day Pick one out of the two and kill them, so there will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases."
The queen gently caressed him, and thought about the worst idea she could think of: "Since your majesty knows these things, it can be regarded as their trick, why not use it to hold them hostage?"
"I'm the emperor, how can an emperor use the pigtails of his ministers to take bribes, violate the law and violate discipline, and threaten his subjects to be obedient?" But it sounds like, it should be very useful hehehe.
The queen said: "The courtiers and concubines don't know the government affairs, so they don't dare to talk about it, but what the emperor said is wrong, they are not your courtiers."
"What does the queen say?"
"They are ministers of money, ministers of power, and ministers of a king like the Supreme Emperor who indulged them in getting money."
The emperor rolled his eyes angrily, his ribs hurt a little, and coughed twice: "Ahem, cough, I'm so angry! You're right, honest words are harsh to the ear and good for deeds. Oh, it's really hard to hear those words."
The queen rubbed him for a while, and then heard the man next to him who was pretending to be pissed off and said quietly: "It's like things like ministers raising foreign houses, buying and selling officials, raising rabbits to help young actors, and colluding with the prince. How can I use it to threaten people?
I have to pretend not to know, and take care of them slowly. If I know, don't I know that they committed crimes and intend to indulge them? "
The queen said not very confidently: "Send someone to deliver the message, um, I'm afraid that the person who sends the message will not be loyal to his duty, and then both ends will benefit, that would be bad. What if we send someone to deliver the message?"
The emperor shook his head: "It's okay once or twice. A clique receives a mysterious letter, threatening them to follow the emperor's orders with their excuses. There is no one behind the scenes." Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes, I'll let Dong Lai do it. He's good at threatening people."
The queen frowned slightly: "Your majesty, aren't you afraid that he will lose power in the future and won't lose his tail?"
The emperor simply shook his head: "No. He is an honest and trustworthy person who is my confidant. Besides, he doesn't care about power, but just likes to show off his intelligence. I wanted to make an appointment with him for a son, daughter, and family, but he didn't agree."
The queen showed displeasure: "You have to wait until you grow up to choose a daughter-in-law. If his daughter looks like his wife, would you want such a daughter-in-law?" Dark and fat, dark and fat!Like a small iron tower...
Even if you marry a wife and a virtuous person, you may not be virtuous!Who said that her figure looks easy to have children, but if she is not good-looking, the prince will probably not like her, and if she doesn't like the queen, there will be many concubines. If it is the daughter of Mr. Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo, take the best of both He is a person with superior force and wisdom, taking the best of both, he is full of ghost tricks, rough methods and indifferent, really scary!
The emperor sighed: "I also had this concern, so I didn't insist."
Qin Zhongyu didn't want to go back to work after he came down from court. Even if he was scolded bloody by the emperor, he still wanted to know whether Wen Zelan, who was overwhelmed by the country, was Wen Tongming's own daughter.Such a beautiful name, such a beautiful appearance (wrong), such powerful martial arts, everything is very suitable, but when General Wen Tongming knew that someone in the court was planning to attack him, wouldn't he really prepare in advance?
In his character, no.According to his strategy, yes.
Qin Zhongyu: "Go to Zhuo Mansion."
Soon arrived at the Zhuo Mansion, the little butler quietly looked at the future son-in-law of the Zhuo Mansion: "Miss Xiang refused to move in the study, please ask Mr. Qin to go to the study for an interview." Oh, I ran so diligently, one trip after another Unexpectedly, Miss Xiang would marry first.
Qin Zhongyu walked over quickly, pushed the door open and entered, and saw the big study of his beloved writer, it was really big, with a collection of over ten thousand volumes.There are not only rows of bookshelves, but also dozens of old camphorwood calligraphy and painting boxes, which are placed one by one in the corner.
It is really a room full of books, it can be called the fairyland of Langhuan.
Xiang Baozi's voice was faint and far away, and it took seventeen or eighteen turns to reach his ears: "Master Qin? I'm here, come here."
Qin Zhongyu looked at the criss-crossed bookshelves with bright eyes: "Where are you? How is this bookshelf arranged? There is a picture of Wuhou's Eight Arrays."
Xiang Baozi stood up hey chirping, jumped up and waved his hands: "Did you see me?"
Qin Zhongyu saw a Bai Shengsheng's arm passing by, and shouted: "I saw it!"
"This is the maze set up by my master. You bypass the poems at the door, follow the piles of various schools of thought, go through the Four Books and Five Classics and various annotations, turn left at the shelf of Tang History and Unofficial History, and go straight ahead. Let's go, pass the books on how to farm the land, cultivate the land and grow tea, and you will arrive at the novel section, and I'm right there." Xiang Baozi paused, and muttered, "Huh? Why did I jump up to let you see me?"
When you see me, you don't know how to get here, but you still have to talk.Oops, I'm so tired from dancing.
Qin Zhongyu walked into the vast sea of books dazzled, and asked in awe: "These books, Miss Xiang, have you read all of these books?"
"Hahahahaha how is that possible? I only read one-tenth of it." Xiang Baozi sat on the ground and continued to rummage through things, giggling: "I like to buy books randomly, and I don't necessarily read them when I buy them, but I must buy books that I don't have. Master and master dote on me and allow me to spend money recklessly. Master sometimes comes here to read, so don’t mess around with the book with the red sandalwood bookmark.”
Qin Zhongyu looked at the titles of these books, agreed yes, and made up his mind that he must come to borrow books in the future!Oops, I'm going, Guben!
Oh, my mother, isn't this the "Complete Record of the Changes of the Families of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" that I wished so much for? Tang Shishu, turn left.
After finally finding Xiang Baozi, he said sincerely: "It's not bad for Fourth Sister Wen. This formation is really good, especially for scholars. If you really go in, you can't get out. If you give me buns and water, you can get trapped inside." A month is also willing."
He blushed and added: "I'm talking about meat buns." Not Xiang buns.
Xiang Baozi didn't want to go wrong at first, but when he explained it, he had to wave his hand: "These three boxes are the materials I collected about my master's life experience, can you take a look?"
"Don't look." Qin Zhongyu walked over, pulled a futon and sat on the ground: "I'm going to see Liu Qiqi."
"What?" Xiang Baozi was stunned: "He's still alive?"
Qin Zhongyu said: "Tsk, how strange, he is more than ten years younger than General Wen, although he was implicated, but he did not die. He is only about 50 years old now. I want to see him, no one will tell, quietly Go see him."
"Master Qin, you are an official in the court, can you go out casually?"
"I said that my uncle is dead. If I go home for the funeral, I can ask for half a month's leave and travel lightly. Liu Qiqi's home is in Hebei, so it's not too far away. If you hurry, half a month is just enough for a round trip." Qin Zhongyu blushed. : "Miss Xiang, I invite you to come with me,"
"Huh?" She blushed.
Qin Zhongyu quickly explained: "I have no other intentions. I just heard that the road is not peaceful, so I want you to protect me. It is not appropriate for others to know about this matter, and you have studied General Wen deeply, so if Miss Xiang is not willing, Forgive Ajaan for taking the liberty."
Xiang Baozi thumped his right hand with his left hand, the injury he suffered before has healed, and he can go out for a ride! "Okay! I have one condition."
Qin Zhongyu was overjoyed: "Miss Xiang, please tell me!"
Xiang Baozi was a little twitchy: "Well, well, I can handle everything on the road, even if I encounter bandits on the side roads, I won't let them hurt you at all. But, recently, I am recuperating my body (Much better than losing weight), eat less. But every time I go out, I like to taste the local snacks, please stop me."
Qin Zhongyu whispered, "I'm afraid I can't stop you."
You know martial arts, and you are still so strong, can my small body stop you?
Xiang Baozi raised his eyes: "What?"
Qin Zhongyu said loudly: "A-Jiang must do his best. When you are away from home, you can just call me A-Jiang, don't call me Sir, it's strange."
Xiang Baozi closed the lid of the suitcase, put the three suitcases back in place with a bang bang bang bang, and patted the ashes on his hands: "I'm going to pack my luggage, when will I go on the road? I'll prepare a horse for you, and I'm used to running the official road in the capital." His horse can't run long distances, let alone go wild. Master Qin, A-Jiang, can you ride a fast horse?"
"Okay, but don't be a fierce horse." Qin Zhongyu saw that Miss Xiang nodded and was about to leave like a gust of wind, and sighed secretly in her heart, she is really a vigorous beauty.
I used a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to imitate a letter from 'Master Qin is coming back for the funeral, your uncle is dead', and wrote it with his left hand specially for the reliability of the font.He can write with both hands, but the left hand is very poor.
Xiang Baozi came back with a small package on his shoulders: "Are you ready? Let's go, what luggage do you want to take with you? If you don't have anything you must bring, just go on the road like this."
Qin Zhongyu thought about it, and he couldn't help it if he didn't take a bath for a week. Now it's cold and he doesn't smell.Awow, it's cold now, my God, it's super cold, it's cold even in a sedan chair, and it must be even colder when riding a horse.He said weakly, "I'm going back to get the thick clothes for riding."
Xiang Baozi accompanies him back, and slips the horse first on the way.
Qin Zhongyu was riding on the horse, and he still had the time to tell her a story: "Jing Zhaoyi played in the court, saying that last night there was a dark, fat monster that was rampant in the capital city. It is said that the two eyes can emit white light, and they are one foot long, and everyone who sees them will get sick."
Xiang Baozi blinked: "Huh? This is so interesting, write it down and write it down, and it can be written in the story later."
She took out a small notebook and charcoal notes and wrote them down.
The emperor has returned to the palace, and of course the national teacher has also returned to the palace.
Yao Sanlang stood at the gate of Yongfu Palace: "Miss Zhaorong, can you quietly let me go in to find the princess without reporting to your mother?"
Lady Zhaorong looked at him helplessly, lowered her hands, and replied respectfully: "Really Yao, the empress is not in the palace, but even so, it is against the rules of etiquette. If you report to the empress, that's fine, I can't do it now This Lord."
Yao Sanlang knew that his behavior was really not good, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "When will she grow up!"
Lady Zhaorong held back her laughter, but couldn't help it: "Pfft, hahaha, be patient, the real person will always arrive."
Yao Sanlang couldn't help laughing, rubbing his head: "I'm in a hurry."
Lady Zhaorong saw that he looked like a spring in March, with a tall body like a jade tree of Lanzhi, standing under the steps, neither humble nor overbearing, without arrogance at all, and not impatient when he was rejected.
Feeling good, she said in a low voice, "Princess finished her breakfast, wrote for a while, and started to catch up on sleep."
Yao Sanlang blushed: "Oh, thank you."
Just as he was about to leave, a phoenix chariot came in the distance, so he stopped and waited beside him.
The emperor came down first, and helped the queen down: "Be careful."
The queen raised her eyes and saw Yao Zhenren standing beside her, she was startled: "Yao Zhenren, why are you standing here?"
Yao Sanlang's face turned red: "I,,, come to pay respects to the empress."
Emperor: "Hehe. Why are you blushing?"
Yao Sanlang spoke confidently: "Go back to Your Majesty, refreshed."
The emperor thought the honey juice he received was funny: "Why is it so popular?"
"It's freezing!"
The emperor smiled helplessly: "Then come in and warm up."
Then he happily entered Yongfu Palace, slipped his foot, and was about to slip into the side hall.
The emperor grabbed him back: "Where is Sanlang going?"
Yao Sanlang blinked innocently: "Go to see the princess, I have an appointment with her."
The emperor snorted and said with a smile: "Then send someone to call Daiyu over. She is cats and cats in the dormitory, so you don't have to knock on the window."
Yao Sanlang didn't really want to knock on the window at first, but he felt a little wronged when he said that.
After thinking about it, I understood: what happened to me, why are you guarding me all of a sudden?I didn't speak yellow, I didn't touch my hands, I didn't look around, and I even dreamed of the grown-up Daiyu. How dare you guard me like this?
He was furious for a moment: "Talking through the window is better than listening to the wall?"
The emperor was calm and composed: "Go if you want, I trust you."
The queen looked at Immortal Yao who said 'Oh, I said the wrong thing', and the emperor who looked like 'Oh, I'm so stupid, how did he know that I almost caught a cold when I heard the wall last night'.
The queen said: "Hahahaha, don't freeze in the yard, it's time for lunch."
The emperor: "Yes, yes, hehe." Wiping off his sweat.
Yao Sanlang: "Yes, yes, haha." Wiping off his sweat.
The two looked at each other with regret and embarrassment, and the matter disappeared.
Daiyu was meditating, and she fell asleep for a while and suddenly felt hot all over, and then suddenly very cold, dizzy, and her body still hurts.
With years of life experience, she knew that she had a cold!I also know that yesterday I climbed over the wall and went out to find Yao Sanlang. Either the cloak was not tightly wrapped when I went, and my face hurt from the wind blowing along the way, and it was all carried by Zhenqi, or I caught a cold when I was fighting with him when I came back. .Get up and meditate, circulate your true qi, and push out the wind and cold in your body.
Yao Sanlang got permission, so he didn't knock on the window, went directly into the room, and knocked on the bedroom door: "Sister, are you sleeping?"
Daiyu sniffled and said lazily, "Brother Sanlan, come in."
"What's wrong with your voice? Are you crying?" Yao Sanlang heard her nasal voice.
Daiyu blushed, and her voice was waxy: "I didn't cry, I'm sick."
"Eh?" Yao Sanlang turned pale with shock, "Why are you sick?"
Daiyu was not happy: "How can people not get sick if they eat whole grains?"
I have internal strength, I have true qi, but even if I get a cold, I don't want to.
Why are you so surprised, it seems that he has suddenly become a delicate and weak sick child.
Yao Sanlang said: "No, I just didn't think of that. Have you invited the imperial doctor to see it? Why are you sick?"
Daiyu: "Hmph. Don't see the imperial doctor, can you let it heal by itself?"
Yao Sanlang felt very distressed, but she is so cute and cute now, she is really a soft little fairy: "Drink ginger soup and go to bed. I did this when I was sick when I was young."
Daiyu thought for a while: "I feel uncomfortable and don't want to sleep. The ginger soup is too spicy and it doesn't taste good. Is there any other way?"
Yao Sanlang was dazed by the cuteness: "Shall I get you a talisman?"
"Um!!"
When the maid outside the house heard that the princess was sick, she immediately reported it to the queen. The queen sent someone to invite the imperial physician. The emperor went to see her in person with a snack in his mouth. Everyone who arrived was sick, did Daiyu see it last night (while leaving the palace)?"
"Oh, can't it?" The queen frowned: "You might not be sure, she has sharp ears and eyes, and she's high-spirited, maybe you'll meet her."
The author has something to say: The emperor was suffering in his heart, so he only told his wife.
Little monster Xiang Baozi puff hahaha~ She was wearing night clothes and a mask on her face, only her eyes were exposed, and she was squatting on the wall under the moonlight.
This chapter is really cute!
And two updates in one breath, all here~
