Just when the ministers were eating with their mouths full of oil, Lu Qing finally caught a glimpse of the several large boxes that had been brought in just now.
"???"
[Is this a gift for me? New year's gift? 】
Hearing the sound, the ministers who were eating happily paused. From the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of His Majesty's shining eyes and thought to themselves, 'Well, this can be considered a New Year's gift.' That's right. Your Majesty, you may not know how to like.
Su Xiang and several ministers looked at each other for a moment, and finally Su Xiang came forward.
"Your Majesty, these boxes are full of memorials and various account books. Today, I have sorted them out and sent them to you." Su Xiang said while observing His Majesty.
"hiss!"
Lu Qing took a breath while looking at the large boxes full of memorials and account books.
The roasted meat that was brought to your mouth immediately lost its aroma.
Lu Qing slowly turned his head to look at Su Xiang and the others, and Lu Qing's eyes nearly popped out.
【what to do? I regretted giving them barbecue, how could I repay kindness with enmity! Do you want to tire me out with so many memorials? 】
"You guys take it back, I, no, will, want it." Lu Qing's face was expressionless and he spoke in a very serious tone.
Seeing the sudden change in the atmosphere, the palace guests present tried their best to minimize their presence, for fear that any big move would attract the attention of His Majesty and several adults.
Lu Yuan was the only one in the audience who looked relaxed and comfortable.
When Su Xiang saw His Majesty like this, he did not show any surprise. After all, His Majesty's reaction was indeed what they expected.
I just didn't expect His Majesty to say quit without even looking at it. Isn't it a little too fast?
Fortunately, they had thought of several strategies before coming. If this direct method didn't work, they would choose roundabout tactics.
"Your Majesty, this memorial was originally your responsibility to give instructions. However, due to special circumstances before, I overstepped my authority to do it. Now I have sorted out all these memorials, and I have also dealt with all the matters mentioned in them. During this time, you can There is no need to work too hard, I am afraid that you will have to complete the memorials in the future by yourself. I plead guilty to reviewing the memorials on behalf of His Majesty!"
Su Xiang was a little uneasy when he said this. After all, the person who was doing this kind of overreaching was the emperor. He was audacious and subordinate to a treacherous minister, but he was not afraid of being punished by his majesty. He was also wrong in this matter, but based on the previous situation , If he didn't do this, Dayu might have died in the hands of Empress Dowager Chen, so he admitted his guilt for this matter, but he did not regret doing so.
"Your Majesty, I am also guilty!"
The six ministers suddenly knelt down and confessed in unison.
They had also been disrespectful to His Majesty in the past. Many things should have been done only after His Majesty's oral instructions or imperial decrees, but they ignored His Majesty and made decisions without authorization. This is their crime.
But according to the previous Majesty, they didn't feel comfortable telling him those things. This was not only irresponsible to themselves but also to the people. Although they were not good ministers before, at least they were protecting themselves. While having status and power, it is not that bad to the people.
The scene was as quiet as a chicken, and the people in the palace became even more trembling. Seeing that the ministers all knelt down, they didn't know why but they still kneeled down subconsciously.
Even Lu Yuan, who was enjoying his meal, noticed the strange atmosphere at the scene. He tilted his head and looked at this and that, with a confused look on his face.
He was so engrossed in eating just now that he didn't even pay attention to what the ministers and the emperor said. But when he saw the emperor's face, he knew that these ministers must have made the emperor angry, so he immediately picked up two skewers and moved quickly to Next to his royal brother, several ministers glared at him, and of course they didn't stop chewing the meat in their mouths.
Lu Qing: "..."
"What is this for? Get up quickly. Now that you have seen these things, why are you giving them to me? I will not review the subsequent memorials." Lu Qing's attitude was firm.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Su and others looked at each other quickly and howled immediately, "It is reasonable for your Majesty not to forgive me and others. I am guilty, please punish me."
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Several ministers also followed Prime Minister Su and knelt down again, as if they would not get up if they did not forgive. Forgiving meant putting away these large boxes of memorials and account books.
Lu Qing [These old foxes! You're expecting that you won't bear them kneeling, right? 】
When Su Xiang and others heard the sound, they looked at each other and felt that they had made the right bet.
Your Majesty will indeed be soft-hearted!
Then there was a burst of joy.
So, as soon as His Majesty's next words came out, they knew that they were overjoyed.
"Go to the Xuanzheng Hall and say it." Lu Qing left these words and headed to the Xuanzheng Hall not far away.
Su Xiang and others didn't know why, but they still followed the pace obediently.
When the palace eunuchs and eunuchs present saw them leaving, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, wanted to go with Brother Huang and eat barbecue, but it didn't look like it here or there. He finally decided to follow Brother Huang, but he was pulled back by Xiao Zhuzi.
"Your Highness, your Majesty is discussing business now? How about we go there later? There are so many barbecues here. No one would dare to eat them if you don't eat them." Xiao Zhuzi wiped away the non-existent sweat, for fear that his master would not listen. What should you advise him to do?
Just now, Eunuch He who was beside His Majesty told him not to let the Tenth Prince pass and to stop him now.
"...Okay." Lu Yuan reluctantly glanced at the emperor's brother who was walking away, and then immediately joined the barbecue army and had a great time.
Xuanzheng Hall.
"I know you know about my daughter disguising herself as a man."
Because of Lu Qing's words, the entire atmosphere froze.
At this moment, the ministers no longer had the confidence to be confident. Instead, they were extremely silent, not knowing what to say for a while.
Lu Qing calmly took a sip of tea and saw that several people were silent for a long time. Then he said, "It is an indisputable fact that I am a woman. You must have not informed all the ministers in the court, especially those of mine." Royal brothers and sisters?”
When he said the first sentence, Lu Qing was actually deceiving a few people. He originally thought that the only people at the scene who knew his true identity were Su Xiang and Yu Lingyun. However, after Lu Qing observed it, he found that this was not the case. It seems that all the six ministers in the book are insiders, which is very interesting.
The ministers present did not speak when they heard this, but secretly looked at Su Xiang and Yu Lingyun, the two people who were the first to know.
Seeing this, Lu Qing didn't understand anything. If he didn't say anything, he would just acquiesce!
【Sure enough! 】
What Lu Qing didn't understand was, "Why didn't you tell them about this?" She thought so and asked.
Hearing this, Su Xiang and others raised their heads and remained silent.
"Although Your Majesty is a woman, your behavior is not inferior to that of men. I am still willing to follow Your Majesty. Only Your Majesty is suitable for this throne and can bring vitality to Dayu." Su Xiang expressed his position without hesitation. This is the truest in his heart. idea.
