Huang Qiong's move undoubtedly told the world that the character of the Guilin Prince was really extremely bad. It would definitely not be a blessing for the world to have such a person sit on the throne. A person like the Prince of Guilin would not hesitate to kill someone for the sake of a woman. If he were lucky enough to ascend to the throne, would he become a benevolent king who cherishes the power of the people? Judging from what he did, he could only become a foolish king like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou who did all kinds of evil.
For his own selfish interests, he forced Situ Huanshuang, who should be said to be his adopted daughter, to marry into the Tian family under her false name. How can the promises he made when he raised the army really be fulfilled? What he did and what he said to plead for the people were just lies, just to find a reason for his rebellion. As for him, he is an extremely sinister and cunning person.
All the promises simply will not come true. Moreover, Huang Qiong also issued a public edict and continued to place high rewards on the heads of those who rebelled against the king. In the edict to establish the queen, Huang Qiong not only restored Situ Huanshuang's real name, but also disclosed what the Guilin prince had done that year. Although the promulgation of this edict directly tore apart the hypocritical faces of the Guilin County Prince who always appeared to be benevolent and righteous.
The court will let this former Guilin County Prince. Oh, he is the current King of Han, and his reputation has been completely ruined. But because Huang Qiong had never mentioned the content of this edict to Situ Huanshuang, he was very worried about Situ Huanshuang's ability to bear it. Although at the canonization ceremony, Situ Huanshuang didn't show anything. Even during the banquet with the ministers, he also behaved very calmly.
But Huang Qiong was still quite worried. After returning to the harem after the enthronement ceremony, Huang Qiong immediately rushed to Situ Huanshuang's palace after changing out of her imperial robes. Looking at her husband's face, he looked worried for her, and he hugged her tightly. Similarly, Situ Huanshuang, who had just taken off the cumbersome queen's crown dress, nestled in Huang Qiong's arms and smiled in an extremely rare way.
Feeling the warmth of her husband's chest, Situ Huanshuang pressed her face tightly against Huang Qiong's chest, put her hands around her husband's waist, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Your Majesty and I are one husband and wife, and we should share weal and woe." Not to mention that he is that kind of person, your majesty’s edict just lets the world see clearly his hypocrisy. Even if he doesn’t have this problem, your majesty did this to protect me.”
"How could I resent Your Majesty? Moreover, this edict freed me from the burden of more than ten years, and I can now avenge my parents openly. As His Majesty's wife, how could I resent Your Majesty? Besides, although His Majesty said he did not Tell me clearly, but both Sister Duan, Sister Lin, and my aunt have given me some mental preparation. So, it's really not a big deal."
Huang Qiong felt slightly relieved after hearing Situ Huanshuang's words. He held Situ Huanshuang in his arms on his knees, kissed her face gently and said, "Shuang'er, as the saying goes, a son-in-law is worth half of his son-in-law. Your parents are my parents-in-law, and as my son-in-law, I will do my best to help you." It is natural for them to take revenge. Therefore, Shuang'er, don't worry too much about this matter. I will naturally do it for Shuang'er."
"Shuang'er, don't always think wildly from now on. I, the husband, will be responsible for everything. All you need to do is to be down-to-earth, be a good wife to me, and give me children with peace of mind. Don't worry, I will definitely not let him have an easy time. I will definitely avenge Shuang'er for my parents-in-law. Even if I can't let Shuang'er kill him, I won't let Shuang'er wait too long."
Huang Qiong's thoughtful words made Situ Huanshuang feel warm in his heart, and he was glad that he had not misjudged the person at first. She pressed against Huang Qiong's chest and said softly: "Your Majesty, as a ruler now, should still put state affairs first. Although Shuang'er has a family feud, she dare not let His Majesty lose big things because of small things. It's just a pity that Shuang'er has nothing to do with him. Your Majesty has been married for so long and has not given birth to a son or a daughter."
Looking at the shy Situ Huanshuang in his arms, Huang Qiong kissed her small mouth and gently unbuttoned her clothes, making mischief with her hands. He smiled and said: "I'm not going there today, so I'll stay here with Shuang'er. No one is called today, just the two of us. We have to seize the time and work hard to make Shuang'er give birth to a child for me as soon as possible. .Whether it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s Shuang’er who gave birth to me, it’ll be fine.”
Seeing the tenderness between the two people, the two serving maids gently put down the curtains on the bed and then cautiously withdrew. The two people in the tent kissed each other. In fact, Huang Qiong still knew why Situ Huanshuang was unable to conceive. I also asked Dr. Li and Dr. Guo to think of ways to adjust Situ Huanshuang's body.
But both of them told Huang Qiong that Situ Huanshuang's extremely yin constitution was brought out of her mother's womb. If you practice martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort, but if you want to have children, it will be very difficult. And unless a major change occurs or there is some chance, it will be impossible to adjust the day after tomorrow. If she wants to have a child, it just depends on her luck, but the hope is probably not too great.
Huang Qiong did not say these words to Situ Huanshuang because he did not want to put too much pressure on Situ Huanshuang. Because as a royal queen, she would be under tremendous pressure if she was childless for a long time. Those childless queens in history were not necessarily unfavored by the emperor. In addition to some people who do have physical reasons, I'm afraid there are more people who suffer from this kind of pressure.
But Huang Qiong was unwilling to let Situ Huanshuang bear too much pressure. As for the children, that can only depend on God’s will. But Huang Qiong was staying at Situ Huanshuang's place today. In addition to worrying about hurting Situ Huanshuang because of the imperial edict to appoint the queen. There is another reason, that is, Huang Qiong wants to completely establish the status of Situ Huanshuang as the queen in her harem.
The number of people in his harem is increasing now, and many women have given birth to children for him. Although the situation is relatively peaceful at the moment, no one is causing any trouble. But as the children get older, and since Situ Huanshuang has never been able to give birth to a child, I'm afraid some people will have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. Especially those who have given birth to sons may not always maintain their thoughts.
Although Situ Huanshuang had Duan Jin, He Yao, and Lin Hanyan helping her. But what can really overwhelm those wandering minds is his love for her. Therefore, after today's enthronement ceremony, Huang Qiong not only stayed in Situ Huanshuang's palace. When Situ Huanshuang was unable to bear the situation, he did not find anyone to replace him. He just wanted to establish Situ Huanshuang's unique status.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Qiong, who had woken up early due to a loud scream, looked at Situ Huanshuang, who was still sleeping in her arms due to exhaustion, and kissed her little face gently. Then he carefully took out his arm and stood up. Without any maids or eunuchs, I put on the dragon robe that I had prepared for going to court last night. Then I went to the side hall to wash up.
This day is Huang Qiong's first morning court after ascending the throne, so Huang Qiong still attaches great importance to it. In fact, today's morning dynasty has not changed much since he took over the power. The only change is that he did not sit on the throne in the past. Instead, he sat on a chair placed on the lower right side of the dragon chair. Now that his name was justified, he sat on the throne to handle government affairs openly.
Of course, today's morning dynasty is mainly to accept the worship of ministers. It’s just a matter of making some excuses for a few ministers. The actual processing will basically not be done here. Huang Qiong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the ministers who were bowing and kowtowing under the imperial steps. He recalled the road he had traveled since leaving the palace, the difficulties involved, and even Chen Yao who died young. But I couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotion.
He was awakened from his thoughts only when the officials of Honglu Temple shouted and stood up. When it came to handling government affairs, Huang Qiong was not distracted. In fact, since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, this so-called morning dynasty called Daqi has been more of a ceremonial nature. Because all civil servants of seventh or higher rank in Beijing must participate, and it is impossible for the emperor to discuss government affairs with this group of junior officials of sixth or seventh rank.
The real affairs of the court are conducted every three days in the regular court, which is attended only by officials of the fourth rank and above, which is the so-called Xiao Qi Shang. This kind of large court meeting called Daqi is not so much about dealing with government affairs, but it is more about giving lower-ranking officials an opportunity to meet the king every once in a while. In addition, let’s deal with the dog-eat-dog fight between officials, oh, to be precise, it’s mutual impeachment.
Of course, if there are wide-ranging and urgent government affairs, they must also be dealt with. This is basically the situation in today's morning meeting. Huang Qiong frowned slightly as he listened to the cumbersome and protracted report from the officials below. After listening to the memorial written by a director of the strike department, which was worth two sticks of incense, Huang Qiong said: "It's a good thing you had the time to write such a protracted memorial."
"It's not a big deal in the first place. You wrote more than 10,000 words for the memorial that could have been written in 1,800 words. If all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were like you. Then how can I listen to this early morning meeting? How many memorials? From now on, memorials must not exceed two thousand words, and things must be written simply and concisely. Things that can be explained clearly in a few words, do you have to make a long speech here to show your extraordinary talent? "
"You are writing a memorial, not to let you make a fuss. I have said this more than once when I was in power for the prince, but there are always some among you who can't change it. It seems like shit For big things, if you don't write tens of thousands of words at every turn, you won't be able to highlight the importance of the matter, the importance of your position, and the excellence of your articles."
On this matter, Huang Qiong had repeatedly emphasized that officials at all levels should not be too delayed in making decisions when he took over Yuxi and completely took over the government. But no matter how much he emphasized, some people selectively forgot. A memorial that should have been concise and concise was written in a smelly, long and procrastinating way. Those who have a mouth full of knowledge, open and close their mouths are what Kong said, and Master said, which makes people feel upset.
It seems that if you don't write thousands of words for each excerpt, you won't be able to show your knowledge. If you don't procrastinate in writing, you won't be able to show your talent. Just like that guy just now, he had to quote a classic quote in a long speech when he could explain it clearly in only three or five sentences. At least 70% of them are nonsense. If you have time to do all this useless work, you might as well focus on government affairs.
But even though I was talking too much nonsense about this guy, I was really disgusted. Huang Qiong still paid attention to this memorial from the head of the Ministry of Rites. Without him, this excerpt is all about the old man. Since the old man has now evaded his position as the Supreme Emperor, should he be given a title of honor? To show the respect of the new emperor and his ministers to the old man, or to persuade him to stay.
The central meaning is that the old emperor has taken the initiative to give up his throne to you. You, the new king, should be willing to show some respect to the old man. It means that you, as a son, have not forgotten your respect for the old man because he gave up the throne.
