Chapter 17

Views:

Behind the emperor’s throne, there is a screen with a hollow carved five-claw golden dragon soaring in the sky. The surface is also covered with a silky misty golden gauze. The courtiers standing in the Golden Luang Temple raised their heads and could not see anyone standing in the screen. But Yao Yanyan, standing behind the screen, could easily see the expressions on the faces of the courtiers.

His eyes quickly swept across the faces of the courtiers, and finally fixed on the face of Prime Minister Zhang.

The prime minister of this chapter is fifty years old this year. He is clearly a literati, but he has a big waist, a goatee on his chin, and a pair of small eyes flashing from time to time under his faint eyebrows. He knows that he is not a good person!

Yao Yanyan remembered that after the city was broken in the previous life, it was Prime Minister Zhang and General Huguo who took the remaining soldiers and horses to escape from Kyoto from the North City Gate, and let the bandit soldiers kill her and your Majesty! This hatred must be reported!

She and her Majesty discussed the opening of a new Dragon Guard for a long time. The two were hacked to death by bandits in the Zichen Palace in the previous life. This left a lot of shadow on them. Come again, if you fall into the same situation in the previous life, wouldn't it be too wasteful

The commanding power of the Northern Yalin Army is still with the Queen Mother, and they won't come back for the time being, but they can train a new guard to guard the palace! As long as there are soldiers in hand, even if the city is broken, this army can protect them from the imperial city. Moreover, if this dragon guard was set up by your majesty, supervised and trained personally, it would be very loyal. What they need most now is loyal people, how can they give up

Just when Yao Yanyan thought so, her Majesty shouted loudly from outside the screen: "My will has been decided, no need to persuade!"

This loud shout was so loud that it could not be touched, and it shocked Yao Yanyan who was standing behind the screen. Her eyes penetrated the screen and fell straight on the emperor’s straight back. She said in her heart: I didn’t expect your Majesty. He looks decent, pretty handsome!

His majesty looked majestic when he was angry instantly appeared in his mind, Yao Yanyan clutched her heart, smiled madly, and decided to treat her majesty well at night.

But in the Golden Luang Hall, after the emperor's stern shout fell, the courtiers were quiet.

The emperor was only twelve years old when he came to the throne. It was too sudden when the first emperor died, and there was no time to announce the prince, and the queen had no heirs, so the six princes who have grown up fight you to death, and most of Qi is involved in this In the battle for the throne, it was unexpected that the six princes who fought for the throne died one after another, leaving the seven prince Zhu Qiyu, who had always been unknown to him, to inherit the throne.

The seventh prince’s biological mother was humble, and she was not taken seriously, and did not support his relatives. After he became the throne, Prime Minister Zhang discovered that the emperor only knew some words, but could not understand the writing at all, not to mention the literary skills of the first emperor. , Is to pick out a few sentences from the classics of Scripture and history and let him talk about it, he also only knows the words, and he doesn’t understand the meaning. .

The twelve-year-old emperor, sitting on the throne, had a childish face, and fell asleep on the throne on the first day. After only a few days, he groaned again and again, saying that he was too tired. Not coming, so many things in the DPRK that required the emperor's decision were gradually transferred to the hands of the prime minister. For this reason, in recent years, the power of the prime minister has grown more and more, and it seems that power has been in the ruling.

But no matter how powerful he is, he is just a courtier. If in a few years, until the forces that oppose him in the DPRK are brought down, he alone will have the final say. However, the emperor didn't know what was the stimulus. He suddenly seemed to be a different person. Not only did he want to intervene in political affairs, he even wanted to set up a new guard.

There are already fifty thousand feather forest soldiers patrolling the palace. What does the emperor want with this new guard? Why did he suddenly act like this? Could it be that he misunderstood the person, in fact, the emperor is not the kind of dude who is not doing his job properly, but has been hiding himself

But he has become the son of the emperor, the ninth-five-year-old, and the situation is completely different from when his six ambitious brothers were alive, so why not hide

In a short period of time, Prime Minister Zhang had already passed countless thoughts in his eyes. At this moment, the young emperor waved his hand and stopped the courtier’s persuasion. His eyebrows sank, and he said angrily: "I am the emperor, don’t even have this power? Nothing?"

When this sentence fell, the courtiers who had been instructed by Prime Minister Zhang to admonish His Majesty immediately did not dare to speak again. Facing the young emperor’s sharp eyes that seemed to pierce people’s hearts, he couldn’t help but feel a little timid. Even if this majesty doesn’t understand political affairs and has little real power, this is after all the emperor, the ninety-five emperor, once he Persevere, who can say "no" to the courtiers present

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Zhang squinted his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Daming Palace is a symbol of imperial majesty, and it is also where the dragon veins of my great Qi are located. It should be strengthened."

The meaning of this is to agree with the emperor to add Dragon Guards.

"As for the preparations for the Dragon Guards, the minister is willing to take full responsibility."

As soon as Prime Minister Zhang finished speaking, Shi Lin Fuzheng of Hanlin University sneered secretly, thinking that this surname Zhang is really cunning, and let him be responsible. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to place his own personnel in the Dragon Guards? It's a sigh that the emperor is really young, and he ignored the government before, I'm afraid that this time he will be the same as before, and the prime minister will succeed.

Just as Lin Fu was thinking this way, the emperor's young voice suddenly sounded, "No, let Xueshi Lin be responsible!"

what? Lin Fu thought he had heard it wrong, and was astonished to look up at the emperor. But when he saw him wave his hand, he naturally said, "Lin Aiqing is not happy to thank you?"

Lin Fuzheng:...

Until the next morning, Lin Fuzheng who received the errand was still at a loss. Although his rank is not low, the responsibility of the Hanlin University fellow is to draft edicts, compile classics, issue scientific examination questions, etc. When will this draft preparation guard? He is also responsible for the matter? This, this... He can’t!

Just as he sighed, Prime Minister Zhang, who also stepped out of the Golden Luang Temple, glanced at him coldly, not smiling, and said, "Xueshi Lin is the first time he has received an errand from the sage, can I need help from the old man? "

Lin Fuzheng has long been at odds with Prime Minister Zhang. At this time, he heard his words with thorns and two angry faces appeared on his face. He said coldly: "As a courtier, it is my duty to share worries for the saint. Since I have taken this errand, Do your best so that the prime minister won't bother." After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned and left...

After the dynasty, the "industrious" emperor did not return to Feiluan Palace, but went directly to the Imperial Study Room, planning to take a good look at the memorials, but opened them one by one, and found that the memorials were either false words that praised the prosperity of the world. Either it was to report on the trivial things such as street fights of noble children, and suddenly kicked the book case with anger...

Did not kick.

His Majesty the Emperor glared at the table and exhaled dejectedly.

Upon seeing this, Grandpa Li, who was waiting next to him, raised his eyebrows insignificantly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao has been behind the screen, and she exaggerated her majesty's style today."

Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor sat up straight and recovered his expression again. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his face was full of contentment. Then he asked, "What about the concubine?"

Li Gong just said: "The Yao concubine said that she would go back and prepare dinner for her Majesty in person."

After hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor stayed in a daze, and his heart was full of emotion. Concubine Ai is so considerate. In order to live up to the affection of Concubine Ai, I must do a great job!

Thinking of this, His Majesty's heart was full of ambitions. He didn't even eat lunch, so he concentrated on picking up a Chinese ink pen and drew a big cross on the pile of memorials full of trivial things!

Those who dare to fight and make troubles should be arrested and put in prison!

His Majesty the Emperor decided to start with this kind of trivial matter, so that courtiers could see his determination to be diligent!

Working hungry until the evening, His Majesty finally waited for the dinner made by Concubine Ai.

The simple three dishes and one soup are ordinary, but the taste must be excellent!

Seeing the slender hands of Concubine Ai personally put the dinner on the table, His Majesty the Emperor immediately took a large chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing twice, his brows twitched slightly and tears filled his eyes.

Yao Yanyan said strangely: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

The emperor swallowed the food in one gulp and said with tears: "Ai concubine, it's so delicious, I'm so touched."

At the emperor’s tearful eyes, Yao Yanyan lowered her head in embarrassment, but listened to her Majesty’s words: "Ai Concubine, I am a little cold, you help me get that cloak."

Yao Yanyan nodded, turned around to get the cloak in the royal study room.

Seeing the figure of Ai Concubine disappeared on the screen, His Majesty the Emperor quickly poured the three dishes into the large vase by the wall.

When Yao Yanyan came back, His Majesty the Emperor looked down, looking very embarrassed.

"Ai Concubine, it's so delicious, I can't help eating it all."

Yao Yanyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines have made a lot today, and there is still a big pot of dishes!"

His Majesty the Emperor:...
