From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1006

Guan Miaoshan lay on the bed, rubbing her eyes vigorously, but she could not regain consciousness.

She felt sore and weak all over, as if she had been run over by a carriage hundreds of times, and her whole body was about to break down.

She breathed heavily and wanted to stand up, but found that her waist was particularly sore.

She couldn't help shouting: "Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang."

Xiaozhuang came over, lifted the curtain, and helped Guan Miaoshan up.

Guan Miaoshan sighed helplessly and said: "You shouldn't play tricks. You fooled him around, but I was the one who suffered. This stupid thing didn't treat me as a human being at all. I was almost tortured to death."

Xiaozhuang's internal force poured into her body, and then he slowly said: "Your Majesty, but I heard that you said to use force."

Guan Miaoshan's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "What do you know? I am a thirty-something, and I have just experienced sex for the first time. I have been separated from him for almost half a year..."

"But I didn't expect that I was in high spirits and shouted a few words, but he didn't do anything at all All gentle. ”

Xiaozhuang said: "Your Majesty, I guess, is it because you also shouted "Three Inches of Serving the King" in bed? ”

Guan Miaoshan woke up as if from a dream, and immediately nodded and said: "It's a joke, no wonder this stupid thing is so cruel."

Xiaozhuang said: "Your Majesty, you forgot one thing."

"What?"

"Today there is an early court, the ministers have been waiting since the fifth watch..."

This sentence exploded in Guan Miaoshan's mind like thunder, she screamed, quickly got up and started to dress.

While getting dressed, he said, "What time is it now?"

Xiaozhuang waved his hand and asked the female officials to come in to help, and then said, "It's noon, Zhou Yuan has been waiting in the hall since the fifth watch."

Guan Miaoshan was so angry that her voice was shaking: "He, he clearly wanted to laugh at me! Xiaozhuang, why didn't you wake me up!"

Xiaozhuang said, "Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs and has never slacked off for so many years. It's not easy to sleep in. It's okay to let the court officials wait for a while. Anyway, Zhou Yuan is standing there, nothing will happen."

Guan Miaoshan clenched his fists and said, "I must teach this rebellious favorite a lesson!"

...

In fact, as Xiaozhuang said, Zhou Yuan was standing in the Golden Hall, and all the officials dared not say a word.

Zhongwu County King went to court for the first time. Although he didn't wear a dragon robe, just standing there gave people a huge pressure.

Deng Bochi's sick body couldn't stand for long. It was almost noon at this stop, but he didn't dare to run. His face was full of sweat.

Some young officials looked at Zhou Yuan's back with admiration, very excited, not tired at all.

After much anticipation, finally, with a loud shout from the female official...

Empress Zhaojing! Make a brilliant appearance!

All the ministers hurriedly bent down, raised their heads and looked up subconsciously, all of them were shocked. Today, His Majesty is in really good spirits, bright and generous, full of majesty, not weak and tired like usual.

"All the ministers, please stand up."

Empress Zhaojing said, and then said in a deep voice: "I received a memorial from Deng Su, the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, which elaborated in detail the difficulties encountered in the reform of the native system and the ethnic integration of the Wumeng Tusi and Adu Tusi, so I wasted time."

"Let's start the court now, Lord Deng, you go first."

Deng Bochi wanted to leave the court early, so he stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have two things to report."

"First, since the time of Emperor Chengzu, our dynasty has routinely offered sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors every Dragon Boat Festival, swept away the five poisons, and ushered in auspicious signs for the next year. But this year, the Ministry of Rites has not yet prepared the ceremony, saying that Your Majesty did not allow it, so it was cancelled."

"I think this is the ancestral system, even if the scale is reduced, it is still It must be done. Your Majesty, please withdraw your order, build the altar, and prepare for the ceremony. "

Empress Zhao Jing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Da Jin has been in war for years. It is a time when everything needs to be rebuilt. Reform and opening up the sea, laying out new laws, there are many contradictions, and the cost is huge. At this time, it is not appropriate to build an altar, worship heaven and ancestors. "

Deng Bochi said: "It is necessary to do it according to the ancestral system. Your Majesty can reduce the scale and delete the cumbersome parts of the ceremony. "

Zhou Yuan was happy to hear this. Deng Bochi was really stubborn. Based on the trend of the situation, he could no longer stop the new law from being laid out. He even accepted the new law to a certain extent in his heart, but he could not take the traditional steps. He kept shouting about the ancestral system every day. How could he move fast?

So he stood up and said loudly: "The laws of our ancestors are made in response to the current situation. Now the current situation is changing, and the laws of our ancestors cannot remain unchanged."

"Your Majesty has exempted the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors due to the current situation. This is teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, applying laws according to circumstances, and taking measures according to reason. What's wrong with that?"

"Deng Ge Lao keeps talking about the laws of his ancestors, has he forgottenAccording to the Taizu regulations, if you don't have a title, your mansion can only have six courtyards? Lord Deng has lived in an eight-courtyard mansion for so many years, shouldn't he have been beheaded long ago? "

Deng Bochi opened his mouth, angry and furious in his heart, did Zhou Yuan take the wrong herbs to go against me.

What did I say wrong? He had to bring up the Taizu regulations to attack me!

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the second thing I want to say is to impeach the Zhongwu County King. "

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was shocked.

Impeach the Prince of Zhongwu? No, are you crazy, old man? The Prince of Zhongwu got his position through real military merits, so impeachment is useless.

Deng Bochi said: "The Prince of Zhongwu has not returned to the capital for a long time, but as soon as he returned to the capital, the Five City Army and Horse Division, the Jinyiwei, the Grand Commander of the Beijing Camp and the others immediately came to visit him. He did not keep his post and got drunk in the Prince of Zhongwu's mansion."

"Such behavior proves that the Prince of Zhongwu is forming cliques for personal gain, forming groups, and making a show of style, which is not conducive to the stability of the court."

"The old minister suggests that the position of the Grand Marshal of the Army of the Prince of Zhongwu be temporarily removed, and he should be confined at home for two months to reflect on his mistakes. "

Zhou Yuan looked strange. He was wondering if Deng Bochi was hired by Jianjia and the others. Ningyue must be very happy to stay at home for two months...

And some people...

Just when he thought of this, he heard a cold snort.

Then, Empress Zhaojing shouted: "Deng Bochi! I think you are old and confused!"

Deng Bochi trembled with fear. He couldn't stand steadily and knelt on the ground.

Empress Zhaojing's face was full of frost. She said coldly: "Zhongwu County King has been running around and fighting in the north and south for the sake of Dajin and the court. His achievements are obvious to all and rare in the world."

"He has been unable to return home for many years. Now he has returned to Shenjing to meet with old friends. You make a fuss about this and ask me to remove him from the position of marshal. Do you think I am confused!"

Deng Bochi said in a trembling voice: "Old minister... I dare not... Please punish me, Your Majesty. "

He also couldn't figure it out. Zhou Yuan was now powerful, and suppressing him was the way of the emperor. Your Majesty had always been good at this. Why didn't you cooperate now? Instead, you blamed me...

And the fists in the sleeves of Empress Zhaojing were already clenched. Deng Bochi, this old guy, was really old and confused. How do you want me to live with him for two months of reflection?

It's time for him to step down!

Thinking of this, Empress Zhaojing said in a deep voice: "Since April last year, the Prince of Zhongwu has been away and has not attended the court, so many achievements have not yet been rewarded."

"First, the Prince of Zhongwu went south to Fujian, commanded the Fujian and Guangdong Navy to fight against the Portuguese, annihilated the Portuguese fleet, recovered Haojing, and regained control of the South China Sea of ​​the Jin Dynasty."

"Second, the Prince of Zhongwu was the governor of Zhejiang, mobilized troops to suppress the island pirates, and annihilated all the island pirates in the southeast coastal provinces to boost the prestige of our country. "

"Third, the Prince of Zhongwu led the Fujian-Guangdong Navy to defeat and annihilate the Dutch fleet, recaptured the Dongfan Island that had been lost for 37 years, and completely opened up the road to sea trade for the Jin Dynasty. He restored the dignity of the people of Dongfan Island and the people of the southeast coast, safeguarded the court, and preserved the national prestige. "

"These three great achievements are all extraordinary and must be rewarded. "

"Therefore... I want to confer the title of... Wei Wang to the hereditary first-class prince! "
