47. Chapter 47
On the second day, the Queen Mother woke up and was furious, and the news that she had smashed a lot of expensive vases and porcelain reached the ears of Zongzheng in the dark night.
Zong Zheng only stretched out his finger to tease the little brain melon of the blue-green algae when he heard this, and then ordered the hidden guard to retreat.
Shadow Moon came to the Netherworld Temple early in the morning, staring at the blue-green algae and muttering, her eyes full of excitement. However, for some reason, Cyanozo was a little disgusted that Shadow Moon looked at her like this, because she had an intuition that Shadow Moon's eyes still contained a meaning that she didn't know, although she didn't understand what it was, but she knew that Shadow Moon was not as innocent to her as Zongzheng was to her.
However, why is Shadow Moon more enthusiastic about her than the emperor Zongzheng Dark Night?
For a moment, the eyes of Cyanoza looking at Shadow Moon were a little more thoughtful.
This jade-faced miracle doctor who looks suave and handsome and dashing, is he really as giggling as he seems on the surface?
Three days have passed, and it is time for Zongzheng to go to court at night.
Because Zong Zheng changed the people waiting inside and outside the Empress Dowager's palace at night, which was equivalent to putting the Empress Dowager under house arrest, the Empress Dowager was angry and secretly ordered the hundred officials to quit the court!
Although a small number of officials who supported the Zongzheng night came to the court, there were too many officials who asked for sick leave.
However, just when some officials sighed in their hearts that Zongzheng was still too tender after all, and regretted standing in the wrong camp, Zongzheng Dark Night spoke with a look of self-reproach.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that I am really not a good emperor!" Zongzheng's expression was very melancholy, and his tone was very helpless. The ministers below immediately looked at each other, wondering why Zongzheng, who had always been cold and cold-faced, suddenly said such depressing words.
But just when the ministers were puzzled, the next words of Zongzheng Dark Night made their hearts rise to their throats.
"Ren Xiangguo, Li Shilang, Zhang Shilang, Liu Chengxiang and others were all infected with wind and cold because of my birthday banquet, and they were sick in bed, I am very ashamed!"
"These people have always been loyal to my Tianji Kingdom, and they have worked hard for the people, but I didn't even notice that they were too old to blow the wind and suffer from the cold! It's my fault! ”
Zong Zheng complained about himself all night, but the words he said made the ministers below feel awe-inspiring, and they all felt that the emperor was going to slaughter with a knife.
Sure enough, Zong Zheng continued to say at the bottom of the night: "However, fortunately, I have now realized my mistake. Ren Xiangguo, Li Shilang, Zhang Shilang and Liu Chengxiang, the four old ministers, have all served the emperor and have worked hard, and now they are old, and it is really not appropriate to continue to worry about state affairs. Spread my will, and the four of them were specially allowed to return to their hometowns and retire for the rest of their lives. Each person will be given a hundred taels of gold, and a thousand hectares of fertile land! ”
For a while, the court was silent, no one dared to say anything, and those who stayed behind were shocked by Zongzheng's words in the night, and secretly glad that they were fortunate not to be sick today.
The short sentence of "I am old, I am allowed to tell the old man to return to his hometown and live for the rest of my life" dismissed several old ministers who took the lead in ignoring the government and politics in an upright manner, and the reason is so good that it is really impossible to refute it. Even if the Queen Mother came, he couldn't blame Zongzheng for this, after all, he was putting himself in the shoes of these old ministers for the sake of their health, and he really cared.
The blue-green algae nested on the dragon robe of Zongzheng Night, and couldn't help but narrow their small eyes after hearing his high-sounding words.
Zongzheng night, you are too dark, too cloudy for you! I'm afraid you've been planning to remove them from their official positions a long time ago, right? Yours is it!
Even if those old ministers come back, they can't refute the fact that they are already old, and when people are old, shouldn't they give up their high positions and retire?
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Xiao Qizi immediately shouted in the unique shrill voice of the eunuch.
"Since it's okay, let's retreat!" Zong Zheng pretended to be uncomfortable and stroked his forehead and said.
"Retreat!"
