February of the first year of Taijing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It snowed heavily for two months on and off, and it looked like it was finally going to stop completely, and the sky was starting to clear.

Inside the Imperial Palace in the capital.

The morning dynasty had just dispersed, and the sky had just brightened.

The first emperor's main palace queen Wang, but now the queen mother is already sitting on the main seat of the outer hall of the Qianqing Palace, holding a cup of tea in her hand and sipping slowly.

Sitting in the middle and bowing his head, he sat in a daze with his head down and sat Emperor Sejong Qin Siyang, who had just succeeded to the throne for less than a month. There was no tea in his hand, in fact, the tea on the table on his side had not been touched at all since it was served.

After a long time, the Queen Mother drank the tea in her hand, slowly put down the teacup, and looked at the emperor.

"What's wrong with the emperor, you don't like the West Lake Longjing of the mourning family?"

"No, it's not," Qin Siyang replied, "I-I wasn't thirsty for a while, so I didn't drink." ”

The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "It's been two months since the emperor ascended the throne, how can this claim not be changed." The mourning family heard that the emperor also missed many times in the court, which made the courtiers look sideways, what kind of system can this become. ”

Qin Siyang lowered his head: "Yes, it's a child's mistake." ”

The Queen Mother's willow eyebrows were upside down: "You are the emperor, take out the majesty of the royal family." ”

Qin Siyang's head was lower: "Yes, the child knows." ”

"Hmph," the Queen Mother snorted coldly, and said repeatedly, "Raise your head." ”

Qin Siyang had to raise his head, but his eyes didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother, and his black eyes dodged left and right.

The Queen Mother glanced at Qin Siyang's cowardly expression, and said coldly: "The mourning family is not a tiger, the emperor doesn't have to be afraid of being like this." ”

Qin Siyang replied again: "Yes, the child understands. ”

"What do you understand?" asked the Queen Mother, looking at her.

"I understand that the Queen Mother's strictness is for the good of the child. Qin Siyang lowered his head and replied.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly again: "Yes, the emperor can understand something." ”

Qin Siyang replied again.

The queen mother looked out of the hall, the sun had just risen, and the morning light shone into the hall obliquely outside the arrogantly open palace door: "The snow has finally stopped, the sun has not been seen for a long time." The Empress Wang said and turned to Qin Siyang, "What does the emperor think?"

"Well, that's good. Qin Siyang echoed.

The Queen Mother smiled softly: "It has snowed heavily for two months before, what does the emperor think?"

"Snow is auspicious from above, and it's also good. Qin Siyang replied casually.

"Really?" the Queen Mother sneered, and her phoenix eyes couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Yes. Qin Siyang nodded and said.

The Queen Mother leaned back in her chair: "What do you think of the emperor's letter to Zhou Wenyu, the Imperial Governor of the Northwest Province?"

Qin Siyang's eyes widened: "Zhou Wenyu, the Northwest Dao Patrol Imperial History?"

The Queen Mother frowned: "Two days ago in the court, the first one to play the book." ”

"This-" Qin Siyang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "He-what's wrong with him?"

"His letter. The Queen Mother said angrily.

"Oh," Qin Siyang reacted at this time, and lowered his head again, "Lord Zhou's recital, the child hasn't seen it yet." ”

"It's been two days, and the emperor hasn't seen it yet?"

Qin Siyang's lowered head was almost on his knees.

The Queen Mother shook her hand angrily and shouted, "Su Fang, take out all the twists and turns of the past two days." ”

"Yes. Su Fang led the order to retreat, beckoned two little eunuchs to turn around the side hall, and moved the twists and turns of the past two days to the front hall together.

"Find out Zhou Wenqing's book. The Queen Mother commanded again.

Su Fang received the order to find the book in the pile of folds for a while, and then found the notebook and presented it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother bent her eyebrows and scolded: "To the emperor." ”

Su Fang immediately forwarded it to Qin Siyang with sincere fear.

Qin Siyang took the fold, opened it and looked at it.

"How?" said the Queen Mother.

Qin Siyang hung his head and replied: "Zhou Wenyu reported that from last winter to the beginning of this year, the seven provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi suffered a white disaster. ”

"Well, the White Calamity, and then?" the Queen Mother asked, looking out of the hall.

Qin Siyang searched for the cabinet ticket that was sandwiched on the fold and glanced at it, and then replied: "The cabinet vote is proposed, please exempt the seven governments of these two provinces from paying taxes this year, and ask the imperial court to allocate funds to buy grain and livestock in other provinces, so as to restore production in those two places as soon as possible." ”

"What about the emperor?" the Queen Mother sneered.

"There's nothing wrong with cabinet votes. Qin Siyang replied.

The Queen Mother retracted her gaze and looked at Qin Siyang: "Then the emperor thinks how many models are appropriate?"

"This—" Qin Siyang glanced at the ticket again and replied, "At least 800,000 taels." ”

"Eight hundred thousand taels, hehe," the Queen Mother sneered again, "doesn't the emperor have his own opinion?"

Qin Siyang lowered his head again: "The child is stupid, and he can't think of anything else." ”

With a loud bang, the Queen Mother slapped on the case, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the son of God, the most holy in the world is the emperor, how can the Son of Heaven claim to be stupid." The emperor depreciates himself and is stupid, how do you let the people of the world deal with themselves. ”

"Queen Mother-" Qin Siyang screamed bitterly.

Gao Yueming on the side immediately rushed forward and helped the Queen Mother to persuade: "Queen Mother, please rest the phoenix body and stop the fire quickly." Long live the Lord is just a childish talk, how can it be taken seriously. ”

"Child, he is a long live lord, how can he still be a child. The Queen Mother said angrily.

"Yes, it's the slave who said it wrong, and Long Live Lord is just a temporary joke, and it can't be taken seriously. Gao Yueming replied hurriedly.

Under Gao Yue's persuasion, the Queen Mother finally relieved herself and glared at Qin Siyang: "Does the emperor know how much silver is still in the household department?"

Qin Siyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

The Queen Mother snorted and said, "Zhong Xuanchong, Tan Jilun, and Tian Youshan, haven't they told the emperor? ”

Qin Siyang lowered his head and replied, "They said that it was the child who didn't write it down." ”

"Didn't write it down?" the Queen Mother thought it was very funny.

"Well, the father and the emperor went, and the child was sad for a while, so he didn't write it down. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows again: "The first emperor went this time, how much money did the Ministry of Rites spend?

Qin Siyang shook his head again in confusion.

This time, the Queen Mother really had to laugh: "The emperor has been on the throne for two months, and he still doesn't remember everything." How are you going to be the emperor? He claimed that he didn't remember to change it, he didn't remember to read the recital handed by the minister, he didn't remember what the minister had said, and he couldn't even remember what the mourning family had reminded. Are you-you-are you going to kill the country of my Great Zhou?" said the queen mother, her laughter had turned into anger, she pointed at Qin Siyang, and only scolded the emperor loudly, and couldn't say anything else.

"Queen Mother-" Qin Siyang shouted, 'plopped' and knelt on the ground, crying, "Queen Mother, please calm your anger, this is all the child's fault, I failed to remember the Queen Mother's teachings, please don't get angry and hurt my body." After the child, he will definitely write down everything with his heart in the future, so that the Queen Mother will not worry about the child anymore. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned red, Gao Yueming rushed out in a panic, held the Queen Mother, and persuaded her repeatedly: "The Queen Mother, please calm your anger, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and he is still young, so it is reasonable that he can't remember these things for a while, and the Queen Mother slowly taught that is, please don't hurt the phoenix body for this." ”

Gao Yueming, who served the queen mother, panicked again, and Su Fang, who served the emperor, was even more shocked. He was so shocked that he greeted the eunuch and palace maid who were stunned on the side, stepped forward to help Qin Siyang, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, you can't do this, you can't do it." The emperor is a dragon body, and he can't bend his knees except to worship the Father. Even the Queen Mother can't do it. The emperor gets up, get up quickly. Minions-minions-"

Qin Siyang was just crying, stubborn and unwilling to get up. The queen mother was crying when he knelt down, and she also cried, and she knelt on the ground together, scolding no more. shouted that I was sorry for Taizu, sorry for the royal ancestors, and failed to teach the emperor well.

The queen mother knelt down and cried, and when she arrived, she was even more shocked that a group of slaves panicked, and they also knelt down to the ground, crying with their respective masters.

As a result, there was chaos in the Qianqing Palace, and no one said anything serious, only the unclear sound of self-blame and crying. I don't know what kind of persuasion code is being staged?

Because there was something important to do, several cabinet ministers and ministers who had come to the Qianqing Palace to wait outside the palace all looked at each other and were secretly surprised after hearing these voices. Someone couldn't help but approach the temple door and peek in.

I don't know how long it took, but the crying in the Qianqing Palace finally subsided. Qin Siyang was forcibly persuaded to pull him to finally get up, and the Queen Mother stood up when she saw this. Then he turned over the good words and persuasions, and Qin Siyang promised to remember it repeatedly, and the queen mother waved her hand to let the eunuch retreat.

After taking a few breaths, the Queen Mother suddenly caught a glimpse of the eyes of the palace door that was secretly looking in, and immediately shouted and asked, "Who is outside the palace?"

The peeking eyes immediately retracted when they heard the question. Then a little eunuch standing in front of the palace stepped forward and replied: "Hui Empress Dowager Niangniang, who is a few ministers of the six ministries of the cabinet. ”

The Queen Mother was taken aback again, and asked, "This is the emperor's bedroom, what are they doing here?"

The little eunuch was asked all at once, and Nuo Nuo couldn't answer, so he looked at Su Fang with his eyes asking for help.

Seeing this, Su Fang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, these ministers are here after the emperor ordered them to come here after the dispersal of the dynasty today." ”

"Oh," the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, turned to Qin Siyang and asked, "Why did the emperor let these ministers come to this palace?"

Qin Siyang replied: "They said they were going to give it to me - it was my draft, and they also sent a bunch of lists up, I don't know what to do, so they let them come here and wait, so that they can be dealt with later." ”

"Thoroughly?" the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "The mourning family has forgotten, the emperor has ascended the throne, and it is time to draft a concubine."

Qin Siyang was embarrassed for a moment, looked at the Queen Mother sadly, and said: "Does the Queen Mother also think that the child should show first, but the child is still young, this, this draft matter, will it be postponed for a few more years?"

The Queen Mother wondered: "The emperor is unwilling? You are also fourteen years old this year, and you have reached the age when you can get married." ”

"But, isn't the sixth brother also married? Qin Siyang muttered.

"The sixth is the sixth, the emperor is the emperor, you and him are now in a relationship between the monarch and the minister, how can you talk about the same day. Hey, to put it mildly, the sixth child will be seventeen after the New Year, and it's time to get married and open a house. The emperor might as well give the sixth child one or two concubines in this draft, and then crown him king. The Queen Mother laughed.

When Qin Siyang heard this, he had no choice but to lower his head and take it as a response.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she smiled again and asked: "It's just for the sake of the draft, just let the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter come, why did you call all the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries?"

Qin Siyang replied: "Because they all have someone to recommend." ”

"Oh, I see, well, the mourning family wants to see what kind of show girls they have recommended to the emperor. The Queen Mother smiled softly, waved her hand and ordered the ministers to enter the palace. (To be continued.) )
