"Presumptuous!" Jin Yang looked at this upright official with cold eyes, and said coldly, "I am diligent in government and for the people, and there are no other concubines in the harem, but I live in the same place with the queen, and you say that I am addicted. Feminine, I see that you are trying to provoke the feelings between me and the empress, and cause the empress and empress to disagree with each other, but you are really embarrassing."
Jin Yang didn't argue with this official about the Zichen Palace at all. He stood up and said with a blank face: "I see that you are not doing it for my own good, but want me to do everything according to your wishes."
"Wei Chen is frightened." Yan Guan didn't expect the emperor to have such a big reaction, his knees softened and he knelt down. Knowing that the emperor had this reaction, he would never stand up and say this today.
A few days ago, he heard people say that the emperor treats the queen only with affection on the face, which seems to be affectionate, but in fact, he just wanted to use these actions to numb the queen mother and the Gu family, so that they can sit firmly in the country. He stood up at this time to take advantage of this loophole. How could he know that the real situation was completely opposite to what he expected.
If you want to take this opportunity to please the emperor and keep your name in the history, how can you know that you have made a bad move, let alone the history, I'm afraid that you can't even keep the official position, and it's even more difficult to remember it.
"What I need is a good official who serves the country and the people, not someone who stares at my harem all day," Jin Yang glanced at the official.
When Yan Guan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said with a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's move is only for the sake of all the people in the world. Please, Your Majesty, please enlighten me, have you forgotten the Dongning Rebellion?!"
During the David Dynasty, Emperor Dongning loved the queen very much, and let the queen's mother family dominate the court and the opposition. After the death of Emperor Dongning, the queen suddenly had a seizure. Not only did she send troops to imprison all the princes, but she also wore a crown and climbed the throne, so that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty greeted her three times.
The queen ascended the throne as the emperor, known in history as Emperor Xuan An. She ruled for more than 20 years and worked hard to make David rise to the level of the four seas and come to court from all directions. From the point of view of the common people, there is really nothing to criticize.
However, later generations of literati gave her mixed praise and criticism. The most important point is that she is a woman, an emperor who ascended the throne and dared to face her face. Many people thought that she was disloyal to Emperor Dongning and that she was a woman. shame. However, some literati believed that she was a hero among women, and could also be called a wise master among the emperors of all dynasties.
But no matter what future generations think of her, Emperor Xuan An made many emperors in future generations have a guard against the empress. This is to prevent them from going down the old path of Emperor Dongning and wearing countless green hats with a long history.
Emperor Xuan An once said this: "Those who are emperors have three palaces and six courtyards. Although I am a woman, I am also an emperor. How can I be different from my ancestors?"
It is precisely because of this sentence that Emperor Xuan An was scolded by many literati of later generations for hundreds of years, but no matter how badly these literati were scolded, they had to admit one thing, that is, when Emperor Xuan An was in power, those literati who pretended to be high-minded. They all knelt down under the throne of Emperor Xuan An and respectfully called Long Live.
Now the words of the civil servant are almost clearly saying that the current queen may become the second emperor of Xuan An.
As soon as these sensational words came out, the faces of the whole court changed, and Jin Yang's face sank completely.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is loyal to you and has no second thoughts," Gu Zhiyu stood up at this time, and he glanced at the civil servant, "Mr. Jiang framed the empress and the Wei Chen family like this, Wei Chen must not If you dare to take this crime, please look into your majesty.”
After he finished speaking, he took off the black gauze hat on top of his head and knelt down on the ground: "Wei Chen and his family can learn from the loyalty of the emperor, but if Shimei becomes the queen, he will suffer such an unjust injustice, and Weichen is willing to resign from office. Go home to show your innocence."
"Gu Qing doesn't have to be like this," Jin Yang walked down the ninth jade step, came to Gu Zhiyu, and put the Wusha back on for him, "I know the loyalty of the Gu family, you don't need to treat such treacherous villains. Take it to heart."
"Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty for your trust," Gu Zhiyu blushed and bowed to Jin Yang with a choked sobs, "Wei minister is guilty, it shouldn't be embarrassing for His Majesty, it's just that Wei Chen's family dare not do such a monstrous crime. I will suffer, I will not suffer more, and I will not commit any crimes.”
"The queen has repeatedly proposed to move to Luanhe Palace, but I stopped her. So it is my intention for the queen to live in the Zichen Palace, and it has nothing to do with the queen." Jin Yang glanced at the slumped official and said coldly. , "This person framed the empress in court and framed the court-appointed officials. It is really hateful. Not only will he never be an official in this life, but his descendants will not be hired for three generations."
Yan Guan was struck by lightning and knelt on the ground in a daze, unable to say a word with the corners of his lips trembling.
He can't be an official in the future, that's all, but three generations of his descendants can't be hired, what should we do
Just as he was about to say begging for mercy, he didn't know that the Praetorian Guards would come up to stop him and drag him out of the courtroom. He didn't know how he got out of the hall door, but only knew that when he woke up, people had been thrown under the stone steps, and there was no one else around except the expressionless Janissaries.
Looking at the end of the tall white marble steps, there is the gate of the court. He used both hands and feet to climb towards the white marble steps, but as soon as his hands touched the jade steps, a knife stopped in front of him.
"The important place in the courtroom, do not trespass." The armored guard looked at him indifferently, as if he were looking at a fool.
He dazedly withdrew his hand, and soon someone came over to drive him away, not letting him stay any longer.
He had no choice but to stand up and walk outside the palace in a daze. When he was halfway there, several people in the uniform of the Dragon Guard suddenly appeared in front of him.
A burly dragon guard sneered at him: "I thought it was some kind of loyal minister and martyr, but it turned out to be just a coward."
He glared angrily, and found that the leader was a young and handsome young man. Although the other party had no expression on his face, he looked at him with the coldest eyes of all.
"Commander Gu, it is this person who wants to harm the Empress and the Duke's Mansion. Fortunately, the Emperor Shengming is arbitrary, and he was not affected by his slanderous words," said Long Jingwei, who was talking, and tutted at him a few times. " This kind of person doesn't even want a face in order to stand out."
It turned out that this seemingly extraordinary young man was actually the elder brother of the Empress. He thought that he had lost his official position, offended the Gu family, and even his descendants had lost the opportunity to enter the court. in front of them.
Seeing such a useless appearance of this official, Gu Cunjing said coldly: "I am looking after the whole family. If there is any disagreement with Your Majesty, I will be struck by lightning, and I will not end well. People are doing it, and God is watching. Traitors who harm Zhongliang and Liangliang will definitely be punished."
Yan Guan shook his body when he heard the words, and walked out of the palace in a trance.
Coincidentally, I don't know if it was God's will, that night there was a thunderstorm in the capital, and the whole capital was caught in a terrifying thunderstorm. The next morning, everyone found that the plaque at the door of the Yanguan who framed Gu's house was struck by lightning, and even the cypress tree that had lived in the yard for nearly a hundred years was cut off by the middle, which looked shocking.
After this incident spread, many people said that the behavior of this Lord Jiang was beyond the eyes of God, so he warned him with thunder.
Gu Guogong is such a good person, how much risk did he risk to report this to the emperor when the capital was shaking? If it weren't for him, the emperor would not necessarily take the dream cast by his ancestors seriously, and naturally he would not let the people evacuate and hide. How many people would die by then
There is also the empress, but the real person Izumo has praised the lucky nobles. Such nobles must be able to bless the common people.
It’s not good that the empress and empress have deep feelings. Could it be that the emperor has a lot of three palaces and six courtyards, and it’s good to indulge in women’s pornography
This Mr. Jiang's mind is too sinister, he must be deliberately provoking the feelings of the emperor and empress and affecting the government. No wonder God wants to chop him, chop well!
Isn't this Mr. Jiang wanting to be famous in history? This time, because he framed Zhongliang, he was warned by God's thunder, and he would not be able to keep his name in the annals of history. It's just that it is not a biography of a loyal minister and a good general, but a biography of a traitor.
Perhaps thousands of years from now, there will still be countless people arguing about whether this incident really happened, or was it because this official was unpopular, that someone made up such a myth
The rumors spread loudly outside that the official who had impeached the queen finally had no face to stay in the capital any longer, and hid in the countryside with his wife and children, and never had the face to enter the capital again.
"The thunder last night was really scary," Qiu Luo beat his shoulders, tidied up the room, and said to Baolu who was sitting next to him, "You're not on duty today, why are you running here early in the morning?"
"I..." Baolu saw the earrings on Qiu Luo's earlobe, her face darkened. These earrings were given to Qiu Luo by the Empress yesterday. Not only did Qiu Luo get the reward, but even the maids who served her personally got it. Only she has nothing.
"Is there anything we can't say, you are still hesitating?" Qiu Luo folded the quilt, and seeing Baolu's embarrassed face, he said, "In another half an hour, the empress will get up, if you don't say anything, I will leave. "
"Don't go," Baolu said, biting her lip, "I'm just a little scared."
Qiuluo walked over to her and sat down, sighing: "Fortunately, it was me who heard this today. If others heard it, you'd be afraid..."
"I also know that this should not be said, but I really don't know who to talk to," Baolu squeezed the handkerchief, her face tired, "the other day when I saw the empress casually asking Bai Xian to drag Yangliu down for torture, I I was very scared.”
Qiu Luo frowned and said nothing.
"Niangniang, she has changed," Baolu's handkerchief was twisted into a rope. "It wasn't like this when she was not married."
"What do you think the Empress should do?" Qiu Luo said angrily, "Dignified and virtuous, neither angry nor troublesome, let others figure it out?"
Baolu looked at Qiu Luo's face with anger, and said in a daze, "Even you have changed."
"It's not that I've changed, it's that I can see the current situation clearly," Qiu Luo stood up, his expression a little alienated, "When I was in the palace, the empress was a pampered daughter of an aristocratic family, spoiled by her parents and her brothers and sisters. Protecting her, she can naturally worry about everything and have no worries. But she is now the queen, the mother of a country, and the wife of His Majesty. If she remains the same as before, it will only hurt her."
Baolu frowned and said, "But this doesn't mean that you can easily talk about life and death."
"If someone respects me one foot, I will pay him back ten feet. If someone offends me, he will have to let him die," Qiu Luo straightened his hair, "This is the code of conduct in the palace, if you can't accept it, then Let the Empress let you out of the palace. With the friendship you have served the Empress over the years, the Empress will definitely not refuse your request."
"I… "
"The Empress is about to wake up, I'm leaving." Qiu Luo interrupted her and left without looking back.
When she was very young, she knew that the Empress is the master, and she is a servant. As a servant, as long as she is loyal to the Empress, she will not think about other things that should not be her, and she will not do things that should not be done by her. Can do.
If it weren't for the Empress, her seriously ill mother and weak brother would have died long ago, would she still be as strong and prosperous as she is now, and her brother could still read and write
Of their few close-fitting maids, which one did not receive the favor of the goddess? If they can't even do the most basic loyalty, how can they be worthy of the good old lady who treated them
When she walked to the Zichen Palace, Qiu Luo saw that His Majesty walked out with Bai Xian and other eunuchs lightly, and her cautious appearance made her feel that His Majesty was really kind to the Empress.
Seeing her coming, Jin Yang made a small gesture: "The queen didn't sleep well last night, please keep your voice down, don't disturb the queen's rest."
Qiu Luo Chao Jin Yang was blessed with a blessed body, and took a step back. The maids behind her also took a few steps back, bowed and quietly sent the emperor away.
Watching the back of His Majesty leave, Qiu Luo prayed in his heart, hoping that His Majesty will always treat the Empress like this well and never change.
Because of the loud thunder last night, Gu Rujiu didn't sleep well and woke up a little late in the morning. After washing up, looking at the breakfast on the table, she didn't have much appetite. After reluctantly using a bowl of porridge, she said, "Has the rain stopped outside?"
"It's still down," Qiu Luo stepped forward to dry her hands and whispered, "This morning, the servant heard an interesting thing."
"What's the fun?" Gu Rujiu took the handkerchief from Qiu Luo's hand and wiped it by herself.
"I heard that the speaker who participated in you yesterday was struck by lightning, and even the plaque was scorched." Speaking of this, Qiu Luo's tone contained a hint of resentment, "People who talk nonsense like this are hacked. Also deserves it.”
Gu Rujiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence, you don't want to talk about it in the future."
"Yes," Qiu Luo nodded and said yes, and ordered the other palace maids to remove the tableware from the table, "Niang Niang, when you left this morning, Your Majesty said, if you are bored, go elsewhere."
"I see." Gu Rujiu glanced at the gloomy sky outside, yawned, and had no desire to go out.
After half an hour, Bai Xian walked in in a hurry and whispered: "Empress Empress, the rain is about to stop outside. Your Majesty is going to leave the palace. Let the servants come to ask you, do you want to go out together?"
"Exiting the palace?" Gu Rujiu regained some energy, put down the book he read for a long time without turning over a few pages, "You ask Your Majesty to wait for a while, I will change clothes and go over."
"Yes." Seeing the happy look on the Empress's face, Bai Xian sighed that it was His Majesty who understood the Empress's thoughts.
In the imperial study, Jin Yang called Gu Cunjing, Hu Yunqi and others, and said that he was going to take the Queen's concubine for a private visit.
From ancient times to the present, it is not unusual for emperors of all dynasties to visit privately in micro-service, but it is rare to visit privately in micro-service with the queen.
As the uncle of the second country, Gu Cunjing had to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the Empress is the head of the harem, and it's easy not to leave the palace, I'm afraid..."
"Rules are dead, people are alive, how can Gu Qing be so rigid," Jin Yang said, "Before the queen entered the palace, she was often able to ride horses and enjoy spring with other friends. Now that she is married to me, she has lost her life. There is a lot of freedom, but you can't even step out of the palace gate."
Gu Cunjing was speechless for a while, you are the emperor and you are justified. If he wants to take it with him, he also feels distressed that his sister is locked in the palace all day and cannot be free.
On the other hand, the other dragon guards were a little moved when they heard the emperor's words. The emperor treated the queen with a deep affection. No wonder the emperor was so angry when the officials were talking nonsense yesterday.
When the queen came over, Long Jingwei saw that the husband and wife were dressed like ordinary noble couples, and couldn't help but sighed again. No wonder His Majesty loved the queen so much, and his behavior was somewhat similar to that of the emperor.
Gu Cunjing looked at his sister up and down, seeing that not only she was not thin, but she was getting fatter, so he felt relieved. It seems that my sister's life in the palace should be very comfortable, otherwise she would not have gained so much weight.
When the group left the palace, Jin Yang suddenly became interested, and let Gu Rujiu ride on the horse. Like an ordinary husband, he walked in front with the reins, and from time to time he bought some delicate gadgets for Gu Rujiu. This intimate and natural way of getting along makes the dragon guard behind the two somewhat blind. There were two dragon guards who had not yet married, and their faces were almost red, and their hearts began to be full of longing for their future daughters-in-law.
From this we can see how destructive the show is.
"Do you think..." Hu Yunqi leaned over to Gu Cunjing and squeezed his ears, "This is the emperor?"
Rumor has it that there are many men in Shuzhou who are afraid of wives, so they are made fun of as "soft ears". Hu Yunqi's action is like saying that His Majesty is afraid of wives.
Gu Cunjing gritted his teeth and said to him every word: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful to be heard by the empress. Don't forget that in a few days, the mother-in-law will bring her aunt into the palace to meet the empress."
Hu Yunqi coughed dryly and moved away from Gu Cunjing a little bit. It was proved by his actual actions that he would never talk more.
Gu Rujiu rode on the tall horse, looking at Jin Yang holding the reins, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, she heard a sudden noise from the restaurant next to her, and it seemed that someone was arguing.
She looked over curiously and couldn't help but smile: "Husband, look here."
Hearing this, Jin Yang turned his head and saw a plaque hanging on the restaurant next to it with the words "Liyulou" written on it, so he couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect to be here again."
When he and Jiujiu first came to this place a few years ago, both of them were still ignorant. He regarded Jiujiu as a sweet and lovely junior sister and Jiujiu as a gentle and kind emperor. .
In the blink of an eye, a few years passed, and the Liyu Building was still the same building, but he and Jiujiu became husband and wife.
"Let's go up and take a seat," Jin Yang handed the reins to Bai Xian, then walked to the horse, stretched out his hand to help Gu Rujiu dismount, "This is also a revisit to the old place."
"Is it useful to revisit the old place?" Gu Rujiu pinched his ear with a smile, and after pinching it, he felt something was wrong, and turned to look at Long Jingwei who was following behind them.
The dragon guards looked away in unison, looking at the sky and the ground at the plaque of the Liyu Building, but they just ignored Rujiu and Jin Yang.
Smiling indifferently, Jin Yang took her hand and said, "Let's go."
When the other dragon guards saw this, they hurriedly went to arrange the box, then avoided the others and led the two into the box.
After the group entered the box, the downstairs lobby was still noisy. It seemed that several students were arguing about current affairs, but neither side accepted the other, so the quarrel became louder.
Gu Rujiu listened carefully and heard the words of the king and queen mentioned by these people, so she stopped listening and took a sip from the teacup.
The tea outside the palace is not as good as the tea in the palace, she took a sip and put it down, looked up to see Jin Yang, and found that his face didn't look very good, only to find that she was looking at him, and smiled again.
After a while, their dishes came, and she heard a young man's voice from downstairs.
"Even the clerk knows how to bully the soft and fear the hard. As soon as the distinguished guests in the box upstairs arrived, the wine and dishes were hurriedly delivered. I waited for a long time, and the dishes were only half served." This man's voice was filled with drunkenness, and he seemed to be extremely concerned about the social status quo. dissatisfied.
"It's ridiculous that I have waited for the cold window to study hard for more than ten years, and it is not as good as these noble people who were born noble. It's ridiculous!"
"Brother Liang, you are drunk."
"Brother Liang..."
The people at the same table were afraid that he would cause trouble, so they hurriedly stepped forward to appease him, and then the noise in the lobby also weakened, as if they were afraid of offending the people in the box upstairs.
As we all know, the business of Liyulou is very good, and the boxes upstairs are reserved for some noble people in the capital. If they don't come, these boxes would rather be empty than used to entertain guests. One can imagine the identities of these people. how high.
These scholars, they have studied hard for so many years in Hanchuang, don't they just want to have a noble high school and jump to the dragon gate? If you offend these people so recklessly, what future will there be
Fortunately, the distinguished guests in the box were well-measured, and it seemed that they did not come to investigate them because of Liang Sheng's nonsense, which made all the students present breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that they haven't completely let up, and the drunk Liang Sheng spoke again.
"You're persuading me this way, just because you're afraid of the nobles upstairs," Liang Sheng said cynically. "As a scholar, now you are in awe of the powerful, how can you talk about being an official and serving the people?"
The underlying meaning of these words seems to be... Are the rich and powerful not a good thing
The other party's voice was so loud that Gu Rujiu couldn't even pretend that he didn't hear it.
"And you touted the Gu family everywhere today, isn't it because their family has a queen? You wait for the future, to do such flattering things, it's not the way of a scholar!"
Gu Rujiu felt that he might have committed a villain recently. A speech official just left, and now an inexplicable scholar jumped out.
Whoever the Gu family provokes, gets hit by an arrow while lying down.
