In the Zizheng Hall, all the ministers' eyes suddenly focused on Yun Qiao'er.
If it had been anyone else, facing such a strong sense of oppression, he would have been so frightened that he would probably have been unable to help shrinking his body and retreating.
At that moment, Yun Qiaoer was a little frightened. She couldn't help but glance at Qin Mu. Qin Mu had his back to her, retracting his unfolded sleeves and sitting down calmly.
With just one glance, Yun Qiaoer felt that the pressure from the ministers no longer existed. She even straightened her body and stood up straighter.
Before the ministers could even return to the train, they couldn't help but start whispering.
"What's going on? Why did Concubine Xiang become a little palace maid?"
"What little palace maid? What you saw through is ordinary palace maid clothes."
"Concubines from the harem come to the main hall to fan themselves. What kind of decency is this? What kind of decency is this?"
"What is your Majesty doing?"
"We, the great Qin Dynasty, are in the imperial dynasty. How can we be so disrespectful in this great hall? I have heard before that Concubine Xiang often leaves the palace privately. Your Majesty just lets it happen, and the Queen refuses to rule her. Now it's better that she has made a fuss in the great hall. This If word spreads, where will the reputation of our country be?"
"Your Majesty is not under too much pressure, causing..."
"What did it cause?"
"Nothing, what did I say?"
In the main hall, a low buzzing sound echoed. Qin Mu was sitting on the dragon chair. Although he could not hear clearly what the ministers said, the buzzing sound was like countless flies flying in his ears.
He coughed twice, and Han Zanzhou immediately shouted loudly: "If there is anything to do, report it early, and if there is nothing to do, withdraw from the court!"
Retreat? Is this how to withdraw from the court
Beautiful thought!
Some people wanted to go to work to lift the lid on the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism, but the upright and honest imperial officials couldn't help but go out and loudly said: "Your Majesty, how can your Majesty bring out the concubines from the harem in this morning?" "Spring and Autumn Period" "Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi" says: China has the beauty of uniforms, which is called "Hua"; the etiquette is great, so it is called Xia. Nowadays, Xiang Fei is like a humble palace maid. This is against the etiquette of the court. Please reprimand Xiang. Concubine.”
What's more, he came out of the class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the third year of King You of Zhou Dynasty, in order to please King You, the Bao Kingdom presented the beauty Bao Si. Bao Si has a slender waist, icy skin, jade skin, and enchanting face. After entering the palace, King You Ignoring the government affairs, he spent all day having fun in the palace. In order to make the girl smile, King You of Zhou did not hesitate to play with the princes, so that the Zhou Dynasty fell apart. How could your Majesty not do this? learn a lesson?"
Okay, you're welcome. A few days ago, I was Mingjun, but now I am directly labeled as King You of Zhou.
"shut up!"
Qin Mu stood up and shouted loudly. Referring to the imperial envoy, he shouted loudly: "You, Jiang Yi! How dare you insult me as King You of Zhou? How can it be so unreasonable! How can it be so unreasonable!"
Jiang Yi frowned and replied: "I don't dare. I am just listing the past events of the previous dynasty. Please take this as a warning. Zengzi said: I have to examine myself three times in a day, and am I being unfaithful? As a censor, I have Kuang Jun is responsible for the gains and losses. What your Majesty did today violates the etiquette of the court and may make the world laugh. How can I not speak out and remonstrate?"
Qin Mu swept his sleeves away. He shouted condescendingly: "Think about that time, when I and Xiang were sharing a fried dumpling by the Qinhuai River, where were you? When I led Concubine Xiang to charge into the battle, where were you? I know, and the Queen and Concubine Xiang also know, This morning, all of you are ready to join forces to bombard me, so Concubine Xiang will come with me to protect me from the wind and rain;
I don’t need her to cover anything for me, but whether it is glory or suffering, as long as she is willing to stand with me, I will not push her away, because I know that pushing her away in difficult times may not be a good thing for her. protection, on the contrary, this was the deepest harm to her.
If a person is ruthless, who is called a human being? I am ready today. One or two of you can come to me, but if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks to Concubine Xiang, I will kill him! Liu Meng! "
"I'm here." Liu Meng, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, rushed out of duty and responded in a loud voice.
"Is she your sister?"
"this... ... .."
"Really?" Qin Mu shouted.
"Even if I die, I will always treat Concubine Xiang as my own sister."
"Meng Ke!"
"Is she your sister?"
"yes."
"Ning Yuan, Ling Zhan, Zhu Yijin, Han Gang, Li Chen... you all come out and ask, is she your sister?"
"yes!"
Ning Yuan and others came out to answer one after another, and the sound shocked Liang Yu. The civil servants in the palace looked at each other, where are they
Well, the whole world knows the relationship between Concubine Xiang and the Emperor, but this is the court, not a place for you to show your affection.
Okay, now that the show of affection is over, let’s get a bunch of generals to show off their affection and friendship, this... this... this...
There were also some soft-hearted officials who were moved. Everyone in the world would oppose the emperor. The queen and Concubine Xiang also insisted on standing with the emperor. Concubine Xiang even risked the disapproval of the world and followed the emperor in the court. Shelter from wind and rain.
Looking back on the emperor's civilized and martial arts, benevolent and virtuous governance since he raised his army, which has benefited the whole world, how could he be forced into this situation today
Huang Zhenlin, the left minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Xiang went to the palace today, although it was against court etiquette, it is excusable. I believe that this should not be criticized any more."
More than thirty ministers, including Sima Kai and Jin Lei, also went out to protect Yun Qiaoer. Yun Qiaoer did not say a word, but her eyes never left Qin Mu's figure. She held a feather fan in her hand and her eyes were as bright as stars. , became foggy.
The maid next to her who usually attended her couldn't help but burst into tears.
After this incident, the ministers who were originally vigorous and high-spirited and prepared to jointly bombard the emperor almost lost their momentum. For a while, no one was willing to stand up and attack the emperor.
"Good news! Good news..."
Just at this time, a series of loud shouts came from outside the Zizheng Hall. Li Shi, the commander of the palace guards, personally entered the Zizheng Hall with a victory report: "Your Majesty, great victory! Great victory! Yingshang Hou Su Jin led 15,000 troops. The army of the Bulut Khanate was defeated, the enemy chieftains were defeated, eight thousand enemies were wiped out, and forty thousand prisoners were captured. Their capital city was destroyed, and millions of properties were seized..."
"Okay! That's great!" Qin Mu couldn't help but look overjoyed and shouted loudly, "My generals have indeed lived up to my expectations and the expectations of the people in the world. As New Year's Day is approaching, I will send you another good news. Okay." Ah! Come on, post the good news immediately outside the Meridian Gate, so that all people in the world can celebrate it!”
A large number of generals, including Liu Meng, Meng Ke, Di Zhongxing, Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi, Ning Yuan, Ling Zhan, Zhu Yijin, Han Gang, Li Chen, etc., happily went out of duty and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to my emperor! Congratulations to my emperor." !”
"Same joy, same joy, hahaha... ..."
At this point, the emperor and a group of military generals congratulated each other on the great victory, and they were beaming with joy. The civil servants could only say: "Congratulations to my emperor, congratulations to my emperor."
"Same joy, same joy."
Qin Mu doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and he doesn't hold back his joy. You were originally going to bombard me, but I won't care about you anymore. If I have joy, I will share it with you. This mind is as big as the ocean, right
As for the generals in the court, Confucianism and Legalism are none of their business. They are military strategists. They don't bother to care whether they value Confucianism or law.
Confucianism has always valued literature over military affairs. In the Ming Dynasty, a seventh-grade civil servant could outdo a first-grade military general. To be honest, the generals would rather the Legalists were in power.
Thinking back to those days, the Pre-Qin Dynasty used Legalism to govern the country, and the status of military generals was unprecedentedly improved. As a result, famous generals emerged in large numbers and soldiers worked hard to create an iron army that swept the world.
Anyway, in the eyes of military commanders, it is definitely better to emphasize Legalism than Confucianism.
They had no intention of attacking the emperor along with the civil servants. After entering the palace, they saw that the Xiang concubines were all vying to come out to "protect the emperor from the wind and rain". Liu Meng and others were the emperor's confidants, and they always treated Qiaoer as their younger sister. See It was okay when the two of them were forced to become "misfortunate mandarin ducks" by the civil servants. Naturally, he followed the emperor to congratulate him, making the civil servants look bad in this way.
Liu Meng even stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Ying Shang should be rewarded for his great contribution to destroying the country, otherwise it will not chill the hearts of the soldiers. Moreover, now is the prosperous age, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and such a great victory has come , both the government and the public should celebrate, which not only promotes the prestige of our country, but also makes the people of the world happy. "
"Well, what Duke Wei Guo said is deeply in my heart. As the festive season is approaching and there is nothing to do today, I will leave and go to the morning court. I will hold a banquet in Wuying Hall to congratulate you all."
After Qin Mu finished speaking, the generals were overjoyed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Hahaha... ... ... .."
As Qin Mu laughed loudly, Han Zanzhou shouted: "Retreat!"
