Chapter 388: Forced Marriage
The next day, Mu Yuanqi was on time, and all the adults were very honest.
But Mu Yuanqi always felt that there was always a smell of conspiracy among these old men. Mu Yuanqi was stunned and didn't think much about it.
But it turns out that these old men do have a conspiracy. Since Mu Yuanqi went to court on the first day yesterday, he collected their private money and the capital of the concubine into the treasury, and these old men began to plot.
Minister A: I think Your Majesty is going to start dealing with us old things!!
Minister B: We have to sum it up, and while Your Majesty has not yet gained a firm foothold, hurry up and stuff our people into it.
Minister Ding: My family's daughter will be sent to the palace sooner or later. It's better to take advantage of now.
Minister A: Old immortal, can you send your daughter's pockmarked face!!
Minister Ding: Then your toothy girl can be sent to the palace?
ββ
After this discussion, the ministers felt that they had to put pressure on the emperor first. So, the morning court meeting, at the beginning, became a vegetable market, the purpose of which was to relax the vigilance of the little emperor.
"Your Majesty, a monk on the outskirts of the city wants to reconcile with a nun, how can he be judged?"
The corners of Mu Yuanqi's mouth twitched, coughed, and said, "The matter of monks and nuns, the Buddha is worried about, what kind of big-bellied old monk are you doing?" β
"Your Majesty, it was cold last night, and the pig of a butcher's family at the entrance of Xijiekou in the capital caught a cold, what should I do?"
Mu Yuanqi looked at the minister with idiotic eyes: "If a person is sick, look for a doctor, and if a pig is sick, he will naturally find a doctor!! β
The group of people persevered, you withdrew me, anyway, the prince of Sheng'an didn't come on leave today, they finally seized an opportunity, and they had to toss hard?
"Your Majestyβ"
After a series of inconsequential things were played, Mu Yuanqi was already drowsy when he listened, why did he do so much?
Seeing that Mu Yuanqi's head was about to be planted, suddenly, a voice sounded among the ministers: "Your Majesty, the ministers believe that the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a queen for a day!! Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and since he should enrich the harem, he will take the concubine and open up branches for the royal familyββ"
After balabalaing for a long time, Mu Yuanqi began to recall in his mind that the one who spoke was another veteran figure in the court after Chu Xiang: Li He.
Mu Yuanqi remembered this person because of his two sons, the youngest son Li Yan, who had studied in Guozijian, and later put on armor and went into battle, becoming the famous Xiao Li general. And this eldest son is an out-and-out loser, eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, without a proper shape, and once fought with him in the Bird's Nest for a girl.
However, later, it was cleaned up by Chu Yan.
Look at this Li He again, with a long beard and a big belly, lying on the ground and rolling, he can wrap himself around with his beard.
"What is Master Li talking about? Can you be clear? β
Li He furrowed his brows slightly, and repeated the words again.
He still has a righteous daughter under his knees, who looks good, if he can, he will be sent to the palace and often accompany the king, and the status of his Li family will surpass that of the Chu family, and it will be just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Li He's voice became even more firm: "Your Majesty has passed the year of the weak crown, but the harem is empty, even if it is a palace maid who warms the bed, there is no one. Old minister, I implore Your Majesty to consider the great sage and take the concubine as the queen. β
After the concubine is established?
Mu Yuanqi's eyebrows jumped, he ascended the throne yesterday, and he is going to marry a daughter-in-law today? Fate came too suddenly, and he couldn't accept it.
But what Mu Yuanqi didn't expect was that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, suddenly, Qi Shushu knelt down halfway, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!!! For the sake of the prosperity of the Great Sage! β
Does this count as forced marriage?
The sixth brother was not forced to marry, nor was the sixth sister-in-law forced to marry, and when his father and queen mother were alive, they were not forced to marry, but today they were forced to marry by these old men?
Mu Yuanqi was stunned, looked at the ministers in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Chu Xiang, what do you think?" β
Chu Xiang, who was sitting at the front and didn't speak, and none of the people standing behind him knelt down.
Chu Xiang got up slowly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you should indeed consider the prosperity of the Great Sage. β
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuanqi was a little at a loss, could it be that he really had to give his lifelong happiness here today?
But before Mu Yuanqi could brew his emotions, and before the tears flowed, he heard Chu Xiang angrily reprimand: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, the foundation is not stable, the old minister doesn't know, Lord Li and other adults, what does this move mean?" Is it trying to hold the new emperor hostage? β
Holding the new emperor hostage is a great rebellion.
The ministers were startled, hurriedly knelt down, and buried their heads in the ground.
Li He glared at Chu Xiang viciously and said, "Chu Xiang misunderstood, we are all for Your Majesty's sake." Although the first emperor passed away not long ago, His Majesty has become the new monarch, and we should be loyal to the new monarch. If Xiangye has to misunderstand us like this, I will wait, and I will have nothing to say. β
Just as Li He's words were finished, suddenly, the person on the dragon chair suddenly whined, and shouted: "Father!! Why did you leave your retainer alone!!! Erchen misses you so much!!! β
The eunuch next to him saw Mu Yuanqi's expression clearly, this guy was pinching his thigh vigorously just now, so that he could shed tears!!
The ministers below were also stunned, Your Majesty, this is, which one is singing?
Only Chu Xiang, with a peaceful face, his eyes were slightly red.
"Your Majesty, condolencesβ"
"Father!! The sons are young, you will leave, the sons have no one to love, no one to love, I want to keep filial piety for you for three years, but it is not successful, father, the sons are not filial, you take the sons away!!! β
This group of ministers may have forgotten that their new emperor, while being the emperor, was also a demon king-level figure in the capital, and they played forced marriage with him? He could get the old emperor to jump out and take them away in minutes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not !!!"
The waiter of the criminal department behind Li He was in a hurry, kowtowing with a bang, and made a dull sound of his head and melon seeds colliding with the floor.
"What can't you do? I know it's time for me to marry a daughter-in-law! But when my father was here, I was so hurt, and it was only a few days after my father died, so do you want me to wear red ribbons? This is a trap and a great unfilial piety!! You guys, you are so hateful!!!! β
Woo woo woo - Β·
In the morning, the entire council hall was filled with Mu Yuanqi's pig-like cry, shattering the minister's eardrums, one, the internal wounded, one, and finally the one who howled and cried, countless people.
In the end, this cry was heard by Chu Xiang: "The ministers miss the first emperor so truly, presumably the first emperor must fall into a dream at night." "Medium, it's over.
Back at the Heart Nourishing Palace, Mu Yuanqi wiped his tears while tugging on his sleeves, and at the same time turned out to be the tea handed over by Xiao Dezi to clear his throat, what the hell, these old things are too treacherous.
As soon as he looked up, in the inner hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, a man was half-kneeling on the ground, studying what was written in ink.
"Su Jing, why are you here again? Who allowed you in? β
As soon as he saw Su Jing, Mu Yuanqi was not angry, this person, every day in and out of his Heart Cultivation Palace, it was like going in and out of his own kitchen, not polite at all.
Su Jing raised his head, and didn't reply to Mu Yuanqi's words, pointed to the green tea cup next to him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, drink a cup of jujube tea to moisten your throat." β
Mu Yuanqi glanced at Su Jing and saw the sign of Prince Sheng'an in her hand, and understood why she could always appear here. However, what is the intention of the sixth brother to arrange this person by his side?
"Lord Li proposed this morning that His Majesty should take the concubine after the ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites seems to agree with it, right?"
Su Jing's words successfully attracted Mu Yuanqi's attention, but he didn't react, why did Su Jing know about Chaozhong, nodded, put the cup in his hand on the table angrily, and said angrily: "A bunch of old men!" I'm so angry!! β
"If Your Majesty memorizes the Great Sacred Rite Method, you won't be angry with them."
Following Mu Yuanqi's words, Su Jing spoke as if a stream was flowing by, very slowly and comfortably. As soon as this thought came to mind, Mu Yuanqi was stunned, and shook his head twice, he was really crazy, and he actually felt that Su Jing was comfortable talking.
"What do you mean?"
After speaking, he picked up the cup unhurriedly and prepared to drink some water to moisten his throat, but as a result, the cup was empty-
Su Jing handed over the written things in his hand and showed them to Mu Yuanqi. She has been busy since the beginning of the morning, but she is not blindly busy.
Mu Yuanqi put down the cup, took the piece of paper, looked at it a few times, suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked: "You mean, in the Great Holy Rite Law, the new emperor ascends the throne and cannot be established within half a year." And if you take a concubine, you have to wait until after the queen? β
Su Jing nodded, "That's true." Your Majesty also missed a point, the Ministry of Rites, who knew the etiquette at the time, ignored the etiquette and law, and admonished His Majesty to take a concubine with others, which was regarded as a dereliction of duty. β
In this way, the black gauze hat of the Ministry of Rites was destroyed in his own hands.
Mu Yuanqi took the piece of paper, suddenly looked at Su Jing suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?" β
Su Jing shook his head, suddenly lifted his robe and got up, and knelt on the ground: "The grass people studied under the prince of Sheng'an, and the prince said that although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he can be born pure, and no one plans the country, so the prince teaches the grass people the art of power and strategy, and those dark things, let the grass people plan for Your Majesty." β
It turns out that it is.
Mu Yuanqi's expression suddenly darkened, he was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother can you say, his plan?" β
Su Jing couldn't help frowning slightly, and replied softly: "The prince asked the grass people to ask Your Majesty, standing on top of the temple, it is the sixth brother, and if you leave the temple, it will not be?" β
"You get out. I want to be quiet. β
The turning point came too quickly, and Mu Yuanqi hadn't reacted yet, the sixth brother, who was punished for him yesterday, learned today that the people who replaced him had been found.
Su Jing smiled, got up, saluted respectfully, and left a sentence before leaving: "Prince Sheng'an has been in front of you since he was a child, and now, do you still need the prince to help you support it for a lifetime?" Your Majesty, you can't be too selfish. β
After that, Su Jing turned around and left, without looking back.
Some words, as cruel as they are, have to be said.
Lord St. Ann, I won't say. The princess, even more, will not say. But she, Su Jing, as a bystander, felt that this little emperor was used to relying on others, and he was obviously extremely wise, but he never thought about handling things by himself.
She wanted to see if she could straighten out this little emperor!!
