Liu Mingzhi was now both a king and a father, so he naturally followed his words and did not go back on his word and lose the image of greatness in the eyes of his children.
If you can't talk to the little cutie, you won't be able to touch the little cutie.
Until the evening when the four masters Liu Mingzhi returned to the palace, Liu Mingzhi really didn't touch the little cutie's hair.
But just because he didn't move, it didn't mean that Queen Wanyan Wanyan wouldn't move.
That night, the three brothers Liu Chengfeng listened to the screams of the little cute ghosts crying and wolf howling in the palace next door to the southeast in the imperial study, and they paid special attention when criticizing the memorial.
The lights were bright, reflecting the fluorescent light of the snow in the palace grounds.
Young Master Liu was nestling in the corner, secretly watching the little cutie being chased by the Queen holding a bamboo stick, and clicked his tongue twice.
"Yue'er! Daddy loves you, but your mother is cruel to you, so Daddy can't control her."
Seeing that the Queen was careful in her actions and only wanted to make her daughter remember the beatings, Liu Mingzhi stretched out and rushed towards the Guangming Palace with a faint smile.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya!"
On the dragon bed, the two sisters Qi Ya were lying on the brocade quilt and chatting quietly. When they heard their husband's voice, they immediately shrank into the brocade quilt and penetrated deeply.
"Husband, are you back?"
Liu Mingzhi took off his outer robe and happily walked towards the dragon bed.
"We are already an old married couple, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
Turning over and lying on the edge of the dragon couch, Liu Mingzhi held his chin and looked at the two sisters huddled in the brocade quilt.
"Sister Ya, Yun'er, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, when did you come to Beijing? Why didn't you tell your husband?"
Qi Yun, who originally thought that her husband was going to do something nice to her sister, heard Liu Mingzhi's question and sat up straight, regardless of her shyness as she was only wearing a pink bellyband to wrap up the mountain.
Qi Yun's getting up also exposed a touch of light green clothes on Qi Ya's body.
"Husband, I haven't had time to tell you yet. Have you met my father?"
"Well, I saw it. I saw my father-in-law and our old man picking out antiques at the Tianyunge antique store!
My husband thought I was wrong, but Yue'er also saw me and confirmed that it was my father-in-law. "
"Husband, it's like this. A few days ago, Chengzhi and the others went to visit their father and mother, and then my mother asked Chengzhi to take a message for me to go back.
Then my mother discussed it with me and said that in your current status, returning to your hometown to visit relatives would not only be a waste of time but also inappropriate.
If you want to reunite, you might as well bring my father and mother to the city.
I discussed it with the sisters and agreed without your husband’s consent.
Not only the concubine's sisters, but also the mother-in-law of sister Lian'er and the mother-in-law of sister Yan'er were all notified.
Except for my mother, my father has taken everyone here to live in Liu Mansion.
As for the other sisters and husbands, you also know that the old man on sister Yunshu's side is missing, her parents are behind closed doors, and the uncle and aunt on sister Xiaoxi's side are all at the border. Sister Shan'er, sister Rongrong, Qingshi Sisters, sister Wei'er, sister Bizhu, sister Lingyi, Ying'er, they all can't come to the high hall, they can't come, the immortal passed away...
Husband, I made the decision without my permission. You don’t blame me, right? "
Looking at Qi Yun's slightly nervous phoenix eyes, Liu Mingzhi shook his head happily.
“No, it’s just a little unexpected.
Is your mother willing to see you now? "
Qi Yun shook her head helplessly: "Except for sister Yan'er, not to mention my sisters, even Cheng Qian Chengzhi, Yiyi and their brothers and sisters go to pay their respects every day, but the queen mother also avoids seeing her."
"You don't even see Cheng Qian?"
"not see!
Brother Qing Wang, they asked my concubine to enter the palace every now and then to pay tribute to the mother. After the mother only met Brother Qing once, she never saw anyone except sister Yan'er and Manager Qian again. "
"Jie... where is the Queen Mother?"
"Nowhere! No one is there!"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a while, then undressed and took off his coat, turned over and lay down between the two sisters.
Leaning on the soft cushion, Liu Mingzhi gently touched the gentle and jade-like shoulders of the two sisters.
"It seems that the queen mother still has deep resentment towards her husband!
By the way, Yun'er, tomorrow you instruct Liu Song to find someone to remove this small and narrow dragon couch. Because my husband feels uncomfortable sleeping, we will replace it with our bed that can sleep ten people.
It doesn't matter if there are carved dragons and phoenixes, it's spacious, it can accommodate many people, and sleeping comfortably is the most important thing. "
Qi Ya gently twisted Liu Mingzhi's arm: "Bah, sleeping with more people is the most important thing, right?"
"Sister Ya still knows how to be a husband. You guys should go to bed first and let the husband have some peace and quiet!"
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi's lonely eyes staring at the candlelight on the bedside. She thought that they had not been together for many days and were ready to agree to any request of her husband. They looked at each other and nodded silently against her husband's shoulder.
"Yeah! Just tell me when your arms are tired!"
"Husband, I'm going to bed first!"
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
Amid the astonished looks on Qi Yun's sisters' faces, the three Liu Chengzhi brothers were working harder and harder every day when they went to the Imperial Study Room.
Qi Yun and the other sisters couldn't help but wonder if their three sons were sick!
Later, I saw how the three brothers were trembling when they saw their husband, and then I realized that the husband must have caught some reason for the three brothers.
November 27, the first year of Dalong Taiping.
Ruixue.
The officials who had already been in Xiu Mu received a temporary notice from Liu Mingzhi after returning to Beijing, and had to enter the palace again on this day.
As soon as they entered the Qinzheng Hall, the officials, who were shivering due to the howling wind and snow, were subconsciously stunned. How could it be so warm in the Qinzheng Hall?
Only when he looked at the more than twenty steaming small stoves in the hall did he realize what was going on.
Within half an hour, all the civil and military officials who rushed to the Qinzheng Hall were stunned for a moment. After they came to their senses, they took off their big cloaks to keep out the cold and walked towards their positions.
At this impromptu court meeting, almost all those who were supposed to come in the past and those who rarely came were present, and there were actually several nobles who were not supposed to participate in court affairs, such as Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guannei, and Li Tao, the King of Zhao who had been considered by the clan.
Everyone who had different thoughts exchanged greetings with each other, then knelt down on the extra cotton mats in the hall and waited while greeting each other.
About halfway through the incense stick, Xiao Chengzi's sharp voice sounded from the back hall.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials are saluting."
The officials who were discussing the issue of the stove in the palace stood up hurriedly and stood up to greet him.
Liu Mingzhi hissed and rubbed his hands together, lifting the beaded curtain from the back hall and walked out. The Queen and Huyan Yunyao, two girls in long robes, followed closely behind them. Behind them were Liu Song and Xiao Chengzi, one on the left and one on the right. of accompaniment.
"I have come to see Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on your personal victory and victory.
Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "
"My dear friends, please take your seats without courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi took off the big cloak from his back and threw it on the dragon throne. Under the surprised eyes of the Queen and Hu Yanjunyao, he walked directly towards the bottom of the dragon throne.
He stopped by a stove and sat down cross-legged, putting his hands on the stove to keep warm.
The officials were already not surprised by Liu Mingzhi's behavior that was different from that of previous emperors. They turned around and waited for Liu Mingzhi.
The two queens and Liu Song also hurriedly walked down from the dragon platform.
Compared with the two empresses who were kneeling next to Liu Mingzhi, Yanagi Song and Xiao Chengzi were standing on the left and right of the dragon platform.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to wipe his nose, sniffed twice, and looked around at the officials with a faint smile.
"Drawing you out of the fragrant and soft arms of your own wife or concubine, you have to curse my new king on the way, right?"
Baiguan was startled for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Mingzhi to say these words. He coughed a few times and tried not to laugh out loud.
"I...I don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? I've already scolded you for what you deserve. Forget about those who don't dare. I feel quite embarrassed for dragging you out of bed so early in the morning!
If you don’t remember it, I won’t remember it either.
A group of ladies in my family are all beautiful and charming.
To be honest with you all, I also want to be a foolish king who will never go to court early from now on, but unfortunately I have no choice.
When I was still a minister, I emphasized more than once that I would stay in my position and pursue my political affairs.
So what if you can't bear to get up? For the sake of the newly unified world, we have to get up. "
"Little Chengzi!"
"According to the order!"
Little Chengzi waved the fly whisk and shouted sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, a banquet!"
Under the astonished eyes of all the officials, one by one, the guards held trays, pushed open the palace door and walked in.
For a moment, the hall was filled with the aroma of mutton soup.
The officials stared blankly at the mutton soup placed in front of them by the imperial army, as well as the pastries and fruits beside the soup bowl. They still didn't come back to their senses. This was the first time they had seen such a morning court in decades.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the mutton soup and looked at the dumbfounded civil and military officials nonchalantly: "You didn't even have time to have breakfast. Today I will withdraw silver from the inner treasury and take care of the food. I will eat and drink until everyone is satisfied." .
When it is time to eat, when it is time to drink, when it is time to discuss matters, there should be no delay and there is no need to be formal. "
The officials looked at Liu Mingzhi who was drinking mutton soup and kept swallowing saliva, but no one dared to hold the bowl.
"What are you stunned for? Drink! Aren't you hungry?"
"This... I'll wait... I'll wait..."
An Gou'er was silent for a while, then directly picked up the mutton soup and ate the pastries.
Upon seeing this, the officials hesitated for a moment, then took up the mutton soup one after another, and tasted it while peeking at Liu Mingzhi's expression.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. The remaining half of the walnut cake was stuffed directly into the queen's lips.
Under the Queen's stunned gaze, she turned the bowl in one direction.
"Tobe!"
Jiang Yuanming, who was drinking soup cautiously, quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
"I'm here!"
"Sit down, you should drink, you should speak, your will!"
"This... I obey your order."
"The snow this year has been a bit heavy. According to the information submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs by the various prefecture and government offices, are there any problems with the people's housing and food shortages?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the memorials from various places do not contain this content.
However, officials in Xingzhou and Tongzhou Zhezi mentioned that traces of locust eggs seemed to be found.
Local officials asked veterans how to deal with it to prevent locust plagues in the coming year! "
"Have you returned?"
"Already replied!"
"How to reply?"
“Shilling revives the state, and merchants in Tongzhou ban food from leaving the country and feed chickens, ducks, and geese to eat locusts next spring.
The worst plan is to imitate His Majesty's Qingzhou disaster relief work and encourage the people to catch locusts. "
"The handling is good. If the weather permits, I will write another letter to the local officials in Xingzhou and Tongzhou.
Try to get rid of the locusts as soon as possible before they take shape.
Locusts are just locusts, and it has nothing to do with my improper position or the retribution from heaven.
Let officials not worry, set an example, and actively carry out locust control.
If this continues, if the people of Xingzhou and Tongzhou are still affected by the locust plague, I will take their heads. "
"Yes, yes, I will send a letter as soon as possible after I retire from the court!"
