The luxurious royal robes fell to the ground, revealing the crystal white shoulders of the Jade Concubine. They were like the finest jade and like the bright moon in the sky, shining so brightly that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Zhao Zhang suddenly became very interested, picked up Concubine Jade, and carried her to the dragon bed. Only Concubine Yu’s expectant voice was left:
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me..." It was a windy and rainy night, and the cicadas kept chirping.
It was still dark, and on the dragon couch, Zhao Zhang was sleeping soundly with his body in his arms.
Concubine Yu slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and before she even made a move, she frowned slightly because of discomfort. Obviously, she couldn't bear it.
The strange feeling caused Concubine Yu's pretty face to blush slightly again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"It's getting late, it's time to get up early!"
Although Concubine Jade also wanted to take a nap, she did not dare to delay the emperor's state affairs because of herself, so she shouted softly in Zhao Zhang's ear.
"Well……"
Zhao Zhang yawned and opened his eyes. What he saw was a smooth white snow, like a holy snow mountain, with a red sun rising on the top of the mountain.
There is no man who doesn't love such a scene.
He was admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him and wanted to reach out to play with it.
"Your Majesty, stop, stop..."
"You can retake your concubine anytime you want. If you delay the morning court, I'm afraid it will cause discussion and damage your majesty's reputation. The grand master will even teach your majesty a lesson in the court!"
In fact, how can Zhao Zhang have any reputation now?
The young emperor, the puppet emperor, is timid and cowardly, unworthy of being a king...
The series of infamy arranged by Grand Master Dong Guang for him had already made his image extremely embarrassing.
Just waiting for him to tell the world that his virtues are humble and to give in.
If Dong Guang catches Zhao Zhang's mistake of being late for court again, he will definitely lead him in the court to reprimand him as his son, and continue to undermine the emperor's prestige to set off his huge power.
"Master, what a master!"
As soon as Zhao Zhang heard Dong Guang's name, his heart suddenly became angry, and all his desires disappeared, leaving only a sense of hatred and murderous intention.
"That's it!"
"I will go to court right now and have a good meeting with this great master!"
He immediately stood up, and under the service of the eunuchs and maids, he washed and changed his clothes, put on the majestic dragon robe, and put the emperor's crown on his head. Finally, he had some dignity and majesty as a king.
Concubine Jade watched from the sidelines as the young emperor cheered up and worked hard to succeed. She was filled with surprise, secretly admiring and expecting him.
"Kowtow to my ancestors, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has finally cheered up! I will work hard and finally have hope!"
Zhao Zhang ignored all this and strode to the Golden Palace under the leadership of Han Huaizhong, the chief eunuch.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the hall arrived and had been waiting for a long time.
Zhao Zhang was about to walk towards the supreme dragon chair, which symbolizes the throne of the emperor, when he saw a middle-aged man in black robes and a sword, with a majestic and mean appearance, already standing beside the dragon chair.
Grand Master Dong Guang!
Zhao Zhang's eyes slowly moved away from Dong Guang's face and fell on the sword at his waist and the boots under his feet, feeling cold in his heart.
Swords and shoes go to the palace!
For the emperor's majesty and safety, the ministers must take off their weapons and boots when facing the emperor in the court.
Anyone who does not abide by this point is basically the owner of a series of packages that "do not follow the rules when entering the court, do not praise and worship, go to the palace with swords and shoes, add nine tins, seal the king and open a mansion...".
Grand Master Dong Guang's tampering intention is known to everyone on the road, and it is obvious!
However, the ministers in the Daqian court seemed to have been used to all this for a long time. There was no difference at all. Instead, they all knelt down and paid homage to the dragon chair.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Zhao Zhang sat down on the dragon chair and looked at the black mass of heads below. He was shocked and felt a sense of satisfaction in mastering everything.
How satisfying is it to ascend to the Nine-Five Supreme Being and hold the power of life and death in the world?
However, this feeling only lasted for a short moment.
Grand Master Dong Guang's voice rang in Zhao Zhang's ears: "Your Majesty, at this time, it's time for you to say "I'm free of ceremony and I'm free."
His voice was calm and gentle, but there was a condescension in his heart, as if he was teaching his ignorant son how to speak and act.
"I know!"
Zhao Zhang felt uncontrollable anger rising in his heart and said coldly.
He is already seventeen years old, and has been in charge of the government for seven or eight years. This set of worship etiquette has become extremely familiar to him.
But Grand Master Dong Guang still regarded him as a mentally retarded person, a baby who had not grown up. He had to teach him even the simplest of things like "no courtesy" and did not give him any autonomy at all!
Dong Guang has long been accustomed to Zhao Zhang's resentment and fear. In his eyes, the little emperor is the most popular. He can only vent his dissatisfaction like this, and the next moment he will be frightened to the point of turning pale and trembling all over.
Like a mouse in a cage!
Without waiting for Zhao Zhang to speak, he waved his hand and asked the officials to stand up, without paying any attention to Zhao Zhang.
"Today, do you have anything to report? What government affairs do you need to deal with? Tell me all about it!"
This posture makes it seem like he is the real emperor!
The ministers were also in awe and surrender to Dong Guang, and immediately stood up to thank him, as if they had not seen the emperor Zhao Zhang.
Zhao Zhang secretly clenched his fists and sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, preparing to watch Dong Guang's performance first.
Dong Guangquan was in power, and most of the ministers below him were his partisans. A direct conflict with him would only end in an ugly situation.
If you don't have the heart to endure humiliation and bear the burden, and have the air to remain calm when the sky falls, you are not worthy of sitting on this supreme dragon chair!
"Reporting to the Grand Master, Northern Liang has sent an envoy to visit, saying that they will increase the annual currency by 300,000 guan. If not, a large army will invade the border and invade our Dagan border..."
Some ministers stood up to comment on state affairs and asked the grand master to make a decision.
Beiliang, Sui coins...
Zhao Zhang felt a little shuddered in his heart. Daqian was suffering from a lot of internal and external troubles. In order to take a breather, he had to accept such humiliating terms and make an offering to the powerful Beiliang.
'When I take power, I will definitely wash away the shame and get back what I have lost tenfold and a hundredfold! '
Now that he has become the Emperor of Daqian, Zhao Zhang will naturally not be willing to be humiliated. He still wants to lie drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman to regain control of the world.
Powerful ministers, great masters, and enemy states in Northern Liang were all his enemies.
He will solve both internal and external troubles, and will bring Daqian to a level that no one in the world can even imagine!
Of course, these words were only in Zhao Zhang's mind, and he did not show any of them on his face. Instead, he looked at Grand Master Dong Guang with a sneer, wanting to see how he would deal with it.
"Three hundred thousand coins is nothing, give it to him!"
"If you are worried that Beiliang is too greedy and still sends out troops to plunder after receiving the coins, then we can dispatch another 20,000 imperial guards to the border cities to garrison and support, and we will be in an invincible position!"
Dong Guang didn't care about the money, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of shame. Instead, he took the opportunity to send out 20,000 imperial guards in order to weaken the defense of Shangjing!
You know, the Royal Forest Army has always been the Royal Forbidden Army, and is only responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. Among them, most of the officers and soldiers have been in the army for generations. They are all pure Zhongliang queens, and they are the most direct troops in the hands of the emperor.
