113. Guilty of one's own edict

Everyone was directly stunned, and Lou Zishang was a little relieved...... That's praising him...... That big slip, he slowly turned his head, his whole body was red, and he couldn't help but kick the power owl hard, "What, how can you be so ......?"

But I didn't know how to organize the language, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I really saw that Quan Xiao was really a good 'talent'...... He didn't dare to turn his head to look at the courtier's face.

Quan Xiao's face was still cold, and seeing that everyone couldn't get back to their senses, he directly pulled Lou Zishang and said angrily, "Retreat!" Wait for me to reflect on it! ”

Lou Zishang was almost carried away by him, and the others disappeared...... The ministers came to their senses, and the Ministry of Rites was still silent for a long time, and their faces were all red, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really the best talent!" ”

The corners of Min Ju's mouth twitched, and he quietly retreated while people were not paying attention.

The power owl walked chicly, but the ministers were all sad, and they were really heartbroken for Daqi, "This, how is this good?" Your Majesty, this ......"

"Don't you understand?!" The secretary of the Ministry of Rites sighed, "The emperor doesn't want to take a concubine at all, look at the emperor's greasy ...... to the priests."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said that his face became more and more bitter, and he turned his head to the prime minister and said, "Prime Minister, how do you look good?" ”

The prime minister was brought up by the power owl, and he has been working hard in the court for many years, but he has been pressed by the virtuous concubine before, and now he can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, the old man can see the door clearly, but he is also dedicated to the great Qi, at this time sighed and said, "What can be done?" Your Majesty, this is an iron-hearted ......"

"But we can't watch the emperor break off!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The prime minister frowned, put his hand behind his back and said slowly, "For today's plan, I'm afraid I have to make the Queen Mother's move, the emperor is filial, and he can't let the Queen Mother hold her grandson for the rest of her life." ”

"No, no." One person waved his hand again and again, "Don't do this until the last step, the emperor's temper is very clear to everyone, the queen mother can only be our last way back, if it directly annoys the emperor, how can it be cleaned up?" ”

"That's right......" The Ministry of Rites sighed, "The emperor is so energetic to the priests...... I don't hide it from a few of us, it's obviously a collection of thousands of favors, I don't want to take a concubine, since the emperor ascended the throne, I haven't hidden it, I look at it this time...... It's hard to ......."

Those who are upright can't stand it anymore, and roar sharply, "This is too ridiculous, the priest and the emperor...... Do you really want to mix it up for a lifetime?! Since ancient times, if the emperor is true and I am obsessed, I will die on the main hall! ”

Scold! Everyone was taken aback, this person served in the Hanlin Academy, and he was notoriously upright, but at this time, he ...... Everyone looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they persuaded softly, "But take it easy, your Majesty, you still don't know?" Will he be afraid of your threat? ”

"I'm afraid that it will be even more messy and worse then, so don't add to the mess."

"Priest and Emperor...... There are many rumors among the people, you see that there are more storybooks, and the people are used to it, even if you really give up your life, the emperor is afraid that it will be even more disdainful! ”

“……”

As soon as you say a word, you will say that this person is red-faced, and finally waved his sleeves and left, and everyone was sad and sad, still discussing what to do.

And in the Qianqing Palace, Lou Zisheng's face was still red, and he remembered Quan Xiao's words...... He couldn't help pinching the face of the power owl fiercely, "You, what's the matter...... So brazen! ”

"I'm not right when I say the facts?" Quan Xiao sneered, not very satisfied, and looked at him lightly for a long time, "Xianggong is up to you, if it weren't for blocking the mouths of those old things, how could Xianggong use such vulgar words." ”

He frowned, Lou Zishang pursed his lips and turned around, not wanting to talk to Quan Xiao for a while.

Quan Xiao looked at his red earlobes and smiled, and bit it up and said, "You are just too arrogant, like screaming and clamping on the bed...... Shall I tell them? ”

"Quan Xiao!" Lou Zishang trembled, turned around and glared angrily, and stammered, "No, don't say it!" ”

Seeing that the people were going to blow up, the power lord nodded again and again, and was as good as a stream, "Don't say it, don't say it, tsk, that is, let's talk about it, can I sue others?" ”

He sneered, "Who wants to know? See if I don't skin him alive?! ”

The corners of Lou Zisheng's mouth twitched, he helplessly supported his forehead, and changed the topic with a red face, "The ministers will definitely not stop, what plan do you have to talk to me?" ”

"What's the plan?" Quan Xiao's face did not change his color and his heart did not beat, pinching his face, "See how long they can make trouble." ”

Lou Zishang glared and looked at him dejectedly, "You hide it from me again." ”

"How dare I hide it from you." Quan Xiao smiled, hugged him and got up, holding his ass in his hand, "Besides, can you hide it?" ”

Lou Zishang didn't speak, just looked at him so straightly, Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows, slapped his buttocks, and said in a dumb voice in his ear, "Look at me like this?" Want it again? ”

"Bear with me, baby...... You got a lot of ...... yesterday."

"Powerful Lord! Why are you so unserious! Lou Zishang gave up completely, hugged his neck and tightened hatefully, and the two laughed and laughed.

After dinner, Lou Zishang fell asleep for a while, he was really tossed and ruthless yesterday, and he didn't slow down for a while, Yuande walked in lightly, Quan Xiao glanced at him and waved his hand, and after a while, Quan Xiao walked out of the room wearing clothes.

"Your Majesty, the people have reacted well today." Yuan De had joy on his face and whispered, "The people are praising you, and they don't have anything to say about not accepting a concubine, except for sighing." ”

"To put it bluntly, your description of the priest is very accurate, worthy of living and eating together."

"Come on." With a smile on his face, Quan Xiao shook his head and said, "How many people have been used to it over the years, some people believe it is true, some people think it is false, what about those old things?" ”

Yuan De shook his head helplessly, "The ministers are going to jointly write tomorrow." ”

"Signing a joint letter?" Quan Xiao sneered and said, "The ability is not small! I'd like to see what they're up to?! ”

"Go and prepare pen and paper, the holy decree comes, I write something." Quan Xiao's eyes sank, he stood with his hands in his hands, turned around and walked to the study in a heavy manner, Yuan De was stunned and hurriedly went.

However, it was only the first three words, Yuan Dede's face was bloodless, his body shook and fell to the ground, hugging Quan Xiao's thigh and begging repeatedly, "Your Majesty! No, no, no! ”

"Yuande!" Quan Xiao didn't look at him, and said sharply, "Now even you have to stop me?!" ”

"Majesty!" Yuan De's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice was hoarse, "This, this is too ...... Even if you are with your master, you have to think for yourself, what will others say in a hundred years? Historically, the Son of Heaven has only suffered a major failure in the government and has suffered a catastrophe...... You, you, you are a prosperous and famous king, and the people praise you, how can you ruin your reputation like this?! ”

"Fame?!" Quan Xiao sneered, not salty or indifferent, "Merit is in the hearts of the people, even if I open and build a prosperous world, no one dares to say it, if I am cowardly and incompetent, even if I am innocent, I will leave a stench for 10,000 years, get up, I have made up my mind, sooner or later I will make it public, what are you crying about?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Yuan De's heart trembled.

Quan Xiao said sharply, "Hold steady!" I have to rely on you tomorrow, why are you so unproductive, like this, how can I rest assured that you will serve the priest, get up! Grind! ”

Yuan De took a deep breath and slowly got up, "Yes." ”

The next morning, no accident, before the power owl opened his mouth, the Ministry of Rites and the old prime minister handed over a joint letter, the sadness of the writing is touching, the ministers are not falling, and the priest's position is empty, all the ministers are a little puzzled, looking at the right owl but seeing him sneer, I can't help but tremble in my heart, secretly called unlucky, why is the priest not here today? !

"Zhongqing is hard-hearted, can't he get over me?" Quan Xiao spoke, got up slowly, glanced around, the cold air around his body was overflowing, everyone's hearts were cold, and he said in unison, "Your Majesty, it's not that you can't get along, but ...... Filling the harem is your priority! ”

"Priority!" Quan Xiao sneered, and suddenly raised his voice and said angrily, "It is a top priority for me to ascend the throne and protect the peace of Great Qi!" Serving the well-being of all people is a priority! Now...... You have to keep an eye on who is in my bed? But it's really good, the most important thing, what if I want to cut off my children and grandchildren? ”

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all knelt down, "The emperor must not talk nonsense." ”

"Huh, nonsense?" Quan Xiao looked around and sneered, "I don't know that I am devoted to the priest and the others? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

Everyone only felt a rumble in their heads, and they mourned in unison, "Your Majesty! ”

"What, you can't say it yet?" Quan Xiao smiled lazily, leaned back on the dragon chair, and said word by word, "In the twenty-fourth year of Emperor Hui, I first saw the priest in Daxiangguo Temple, and fell in love at first sight, haunted by dreams, and couldn't sleep at night, don't you believe it?" ”

"The emperor is cautious!"

Quan Xiao sighed lightly, looked at the colorful faces of the courtiers, hooked his lips and smiled, and said in a deep voice, "When the priest ascended the throne, I swore that if I ascended to a high position in this life, I would marry the priest, and only take one scoop of three thousand weak water to drink, otherwise it would ......."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu could no longer hold back his miserable voice, "Your Majesty! Be careful! ”

Quan Xiao didn't look at him, and said slowly, "Otherwise, the sky will thunder and you won't be able to die well, and there will be no place to bury you!" ”

The courtiers all had weak legs and stomachs, and looked at him in disbelief, their faces were pale, this was their emperor, who had made great achievements but acted recklessly.

"What? Think I'm too reckless? The power owl chuckled and looked around, with a lazy look on his face, "Didn't you know about me and the priest on the first day, come on, what do you look like with a dead face, do you believe my oath?" ”

"I guess you don't believe it, so let's do it, today in front of all Aiqing, I let you hear clearly."

"Your Majesty! No! There was a mourning in the court, all the ministers were red-eyed, and one person from the Hanlin Academy stood up directly, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily, "Your Majesty, if you go on so absurdly, I will die here!" ”

"Threaten me?" Quan Xiao sneered, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Ridiculous? I have been on the throne for many years, and I have asked myself if I have done anything to be sorry for Daqi and sorry for the people, but you have forced each other step by step, and you have reached my bed, and now you are still forcing each other to die! ”

"That's a long job!" He burst into a loud shout, and some of the old ministers who couldn't stand it couldn't stand the fierce cough, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the power lord sneered, "Not for the well-being of the people, but to threaten me with death?" The people of the world are raising you, you really have the ability, do you want to die? ”

"I have perfected you! Come on, drag me down, scholar of Hanlin Academy, say how you want to die! I'll help you! Don't defile this hall! ”

The man's face turned white, the guards couldn't help but step forward to suppress him, the courtier saw that the shape was wrong, and secretly scolded this person for having no brains, that person was scared stupid, he really didn't want to die, just scared and scared......

Quan Xiao looked around, hooked his lips and smiled, "I don't need such a person who cries, makes trouble and hangs himself like a woman, who else?" If you want to die, just say it, I will not stop it, what is the use of such a black sheep? When the day comes, people think that my Daqi courtiers are all shrews, if there are too many deaths, heh, this year's exception to the imperial examination, Daqi is full of talents, and the people are all nameless and talented, so you can let the horse come! ”

"I'm still scared of you?!"

The ministers had never seen anything like this, and they were speechless for a while, but they ...... The power lord has this ability, he has great power, and the military power is not lost, except for the grandfather is the confidant, and the people's heart is there, even if someone wants to rebel with this reason, I am afraid that they will be drowned by the saliva of the people.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, where do they care so much about the emperor's dragon bed, what they care about is whether they can live a good life, and now someone wants to destroy their lives, that is, they can't get along with them!

They don't care who sits on the throne, they don't care who the emperor sleeps with at night, what they care about is whether their lives are stable and happy, and now the power lord brings them peace in the world, wealth and happiness, if someone wants to destroy, who will? !

The power owl held the people's hearts tightly in his hands, the courtiers' faces were like ashes, and the power owl stood with his hands in his hands, and said loudly, "Since I have ascended the throne, I will be responsible for the world, but you don't want to gain an inch, the royal family has no shortage of descendants, the fourth emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother are in good health, and they will definitely contribute to the prosperity of Daqi, and I will give an explanation to the people of the world!" ”

He waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Yuande! ”

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but they had a bad premonition, Yuan De was expressionless, took out the holy decree in his sleeve, glanced around, and said slowly:

"The world is unified, the whole country celebrates, the emperor is devoted to the high priest, for whom he braves the great disapproval of the world, and makes an ......edict against himself."

"Your Majesty!" The old prime minister couldn't hold it anymore, the old tears were all over the place, and his voice was terrible, "Since you ascended the throne, you have been conscientious and painstaking, working hard for the benefit of Daqi and the people, what is the crime?!" How can you bury yourself like this! ”

"Your Majesty, you are not the only one who has never had an heir, so why should you offend yourself!"

"You and the priests...... Breaking Beidi, An's Frontier, Bushantang, is great for the world, what is the crime? ! ”

“……”

Everyone, you say a word to me, I never thought that the power lord was forced to such a point, this crime has been edicted...... There was no room for anything, he couldn't help but weep and beg bitterly, Quan Xiao sighed and said in a deep voice, "After all, I'm sorry for the world, and besides, ......"

He didn't say any more, if it wasn't for Zishang, how could he have made an edict against himself.

He glanced at Yuan De in a deep manner, and Yuan De stepped forward and raised his voice with red eyes:

The high priest has both ability and political integrity, and the countryman is unparalleled, since I ascended the throne, he has always accompanied and assisted, bowed to the country, worked hard for the people, helped me to dominate the world, reigned in the four seas, congratulated from all directions, protected me from the wind and rain, and the country and the people were safe, but there was no slightest reward, which is also a crime!

After a year of collapse, the Tsing Yi Hall collapsed, and it was never built, and the priest could only live in the Qianqing Palace, which was the second sin!

Since ascending the throne, the harem is empty, the back position is vacant, and there are no heirs.

However, I am devoted to the high priest, I want to ten miles of red carpet, a hundred miles of orchids, perform six ceremonies, repair the emperor's mausoleum, marry Fengjun, equal to the queen, live in the Qianqing Palace, a lifetime and a couple, pull the priest into the red dust world, and cannot leave it for a lifetime. These three sins are eternal sins!

However, I have no regrets in this life!

Although I am not as good as Yao Shunyu in this life, but I am also better than the king of Zhou You, I have done my best for the people, I have worked hard, I have stepped on the rivers and mountains, I hope that the people will understand my suffering, people have greed, I have a life for the country and the people, only greedy priests, if there is any objection, I have made up my mind! Only this matter is ineffective, the people who protect the country live and work in peace and contentment, and a lifetime of health and peace is the right way.
