Several important ministers came out of Prince Qi's Mansion and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Discussing politics in Prince Qi's Mansion is really stressful. The main reason is that the personal guards of Prince Qi's Mansion are much more powerful than the Jin Yi Guards. As long as King Qi gives the order, they really dare to kill the ministers, and they only know how to follow the order without hesitation.
Seeing that Chen Xun didn't say a word and was about to get on the sedan and leave, Hu Hu quickly stopped her and asked, "Mr. Chen Ge, do we still want to go see Concubine Wu Xian tomorrow?"
Chen Xun was not sure, so he turned to Wang Zhi and asked, "Old Wangge, are you going?"
Now that Hu Hui and Wang Zhi have entered the cabinet, Chen Xun has also taken the initiative to express his attitude. We will discuss the future affairs of the government carefully.
Wang Zhi looked back at Prince Qi's Mansion, sighed helplessly, and then replied: "It's useless to go, the people in Prince Qi's Mansion are too united. It is impossible for Concubine Wu Xian to accept the Queen Mother as she and Your Majesty advance and retreat together. Honorable one.
However, we should still go and persuade and go through the motions. This is the etiquette of a minister. "
Chen Xun looked at Wang Wen again, and Wang Wen nodded hurriedly: "What Mr. Wang Ge said is true. The least we can do is kowtow to Empress Wu Xian and say hello. And in my opinion, Empress Wu just refused to do it. The Empress Dowager, but she never said she would not be the Imperial Concubine."
When Chen Xun and others heard this, they suddenly realized: "What Qian Zhi said is absolutely true. We are really old and confused, and our thoughts are all focused on respecting the Empress Dowager.
Together we request that Concubine Wu Xian be honored as the Imperial Concubine, and that all etiquette and treatment be equal to that of the Empress Dowager. I think both Concubine Wu and Your Majesty will agree. "
Everyone nodded and praised Wang Wen for his flexibility. Hu Hui was also greatly inspired and asked everyone: "Can we handle the matter of appointing a queen in the same way?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wang Wen. Although Wang Wen entered the cabinet as the censor of Zuodu, Prince Shaobao, and bachelor of Zuo Chunfang, it was somewhat unconventional. However, with the national crisis at hand, power was urgently needed, and the new emperor only appointed Wang Wenjin to the cabinet. This was considered very restrained, and no one raised any objections.
Putting these aside, although Wang Wen is only ranked fourth among the six people in the current cabinet based on his qualifications, Wang Wen is still the censor of Zuodu and is in charge of the Inspectorate. This power is huge. No one dares to do so. provoke.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Wang Wen gave him enough face, but just shook his head: "In my opinion, let's forget it. If you want to respect Princess Tao, His Majesty will never agree.
Besides, we have just reached an agreement with His Majesty. King Ni will become a vassal, and King Ni and his concubine will follow as guardians. Everyone will get what they want and everyone will be happy.
In less than a day, we will go back on our words and break our promises. Are you entertaining His Majesty?
If you want to do it, you can do it yourself. I won’t do this kind of decapitation anyway. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded and said no more. They made an appointment to see Concubine Wu Xian tomorrow, then they dispersed and went home in a sedan chair.
However, Zhu Qiyu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw all the ministers going out. Ming He Yi sat on the couch again and continued chatting.
Not long after, three girls, Chao Yun, Mu Yu, and Xian'er, walked in carrying wine and food.
Zhu Qiyu was excited, as if he were seeing a relative, and hurriedly waved: "Chaoyun, come here quickly, rub your shoulders for me, I'm almost dying of discomfort, this is really not a sin that people deserve."
Chaoyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly got on the couch, knelt down behind Zhu Qiyu, and began to serve him diligently.
The twelve concubines in the Qi Mansion each have their own strengths. Among them, Chaoyun, the little maid, has particularly good massage techniques.
Zhu Qiyu enjoyed the massage of the beauty's slender jade fingers and felt much better. He complained to He Yi: "Being an emperor is really not something human beings do.
I attended the enthronement ceremony in the morning, and then went to see the Queen Mother. After dealing with the queen mother, empress, and noble concubines, I will summon a few of you to select your confidants.
It was almost dinner time, and a group of important officials from the imperial court came over again. I had to fight with them in a battle of wits and courage.
This day was too taxing on my brain, even more tiring than doing farm work in the fields under the bright sun. "
He Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a British lord, so he is tired. If a mediocre lord is in charge of the country, he will not feel tired."
The flattery was so comfortable that Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "Then what is a heroic master and what is a mediocre master?"
He Yi replied without thinking: "The British master takes power, the mediocre master loses it."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Do you think I am good at taking over power? This is the first time someone has praised me like this.
Others say that I am an absurd prince. Today, when I ascend to the throne of God, I will be promoted to an absurd emperor. "
He Yi shook his head: "I don't think your Majesty is ridiculous, but there are some things I don't dare to say."
"Say what you think."
After He Yi received the assurance, he said confidently and boldly: "According to the analysis of the information that Weichen has obtained these days, His Majesty has now completely gotten rid of the old people in the Prince's Palace, so that the informants arranged by all parties around His Majesty have been completely eliminated. In this way, it can not only ensure that confidential information will not be leaked, but also ensure that His Majesty will not be assassinated by others.
His Majesty has chosen a new group of women around him, and these women have simple backgrounds and no family members to care about, so it is difficult for them to be bribed by others. In this way, His Majesty has firmly controlled his own backyard.
In the future, we will surely be able to spread our branches and have many children and grandchildren, and then we can feudalize these numerous princes to the frontiers, such as Jiaozhi and other places, and let them guard the land and control the military. In this way, your Majesty's lineage will be stable and unshakable.
Moreover, His Majesty is rapidly arranging the layout of the Prince's East Palace. As long as he has complete control over the Prince, major events in the future will be worry-free. "
Zhu Qiyu shook his head when he heard this and sighed in his heart: It would be so difficult for the emperor to deal with civil servants. To become a Jinshi, six steps of examinations are required: county examination, prefecture examination, college examination, township examination, general examination, and palace examination.
There should be at least hundreds of thousands of people taking the first step of the county exam.
People like He Yi can go all the way and pass all six steps of the exam. Chosen from hundreds of thousands of people, he was only 21 years old, and he stood in front of the emperor with the 29th place in the country.
Is this still a human being? This is simply an animal among animals. There are a lot of ministers like this in the imperial court. What do you want the emperor to do?
Having to battle wits and courage with such a group of people every day is really not a job that an emperor should do.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Xingyi, do you also have a head hanging from a beam and a cone piercing your bones?"
He Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, ten years of cold weather is very painful. Although I think I have some talent, I can be considered a knowledgeable and strong memorizer. But if you want to fight out from thousands of troops, it takes a lot of hard work. It’s absolutely impossible.”
Zhu Qiyu also smiled and said: "Then I am really ashamed. I didn't study much and didn't suffer much. I am already drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, holding the power of the world with a smile."
"There is a difference between a monarch and his ministers. Your Majesty is under orders from Heaven, so he is naturally different from the ministers like us."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he just laughed it off and asked, "Xingyi, are you married?"
"No, I have been concentrating on studying, intending to obtain fame, and have no time to consider life-long matters."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he became even more curious: "Normally, a young talent like you, who is only twenty-one years old, will be the second-class Jinshi in high school. There should be many families lining up in a long line, crying and shouting that they want to marry their daughters to you. Bar."
He Yi smiled and said: "Although there are indeed many people who want to marry their daughters to Wei Chen, it is not as exaggerated as His Majesty said. It's just that I want to see it again and don't want to make a decision easily for life in a hot head, so I all Rejected."
"Hey, it's a pity that I don't have any women to give away, otherwise I would give you a few as concubines now."
Zhu Qiyu pointed at the three girls beside him and said with a wry smile: "Just look at the three of them, they look like little maids serving people, but they are actually the concubines of the palace.
If I send them out, the princess will have to feed me medicine tonight, and the sun will definitely not be visible tomorrow.
Just wait another half a year. After half a year, the palace will introduce a large number of maids and maids, including some stunning beauties. When the time comes, I will let you choose first and give the best ones to you as concubines. "
He Yi didn't refuse too much and thanked him with a few words of humility. Because these concubines are both rewards and supervisors. Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you refuse it very much, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Zhu Qiyu led a few people, chatting and laughing, and finally having enough wine and food, he asked Xian'er: "Where is the princess? What are the arrangements for tonight? Who will sleep with her?"
Xian'er replied: "The princess, the prince and the princess went to our dowager's place to play in the afternoon. After dinner, they went directly back to the room to sleep, and asked three slaves to sleep with your majesty."
"Okay, you go and clean up a guest room and arrange for He Aiqing to stay for one night. Tomorrow, let the princess clean up a room in the mansion so that He Aiqing can stay for a long time."
Xian'er quickly agreed and led He Yi there. Zhu Qiyu took Chaoyun and Muyu back to his room to rest.
It's just that although Zhu Qiyu said he wanted a concubine, he actually lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
