Chapter 11 The Imperial Meeting
The matter of the maid tossed Zhao Yong for a night. At the same time that Zhao Yong fell asleep, Han Zhong had already ordered someone to prepare toiletries and stand outside the hall for the new monarch to use. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and there was not the slightest sound of restlessness in the dormitory.
Han Zhong summoned a palace maid and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake?" ”
The palace maid bowed and replied, "I have never woken up." ”
Han Zhong raised his hand and waved, and the palace maid retreated. Han Zhong pondered in his heart: "At this hour, it's time to wake up." ”
After another half an hour, there was still no movement in the temple.
Han Zhong saw that the sky was getting brighter, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. If you don't wake up, I'm afraid you will miss the time of the court meeting. Han Zhong couldn't care so much, so he ordered the guards to push open the door of the palace and led the maid in.
Mu Jian saw that the eunuch Ling just threw a cold and headache look, and after that, he bypassed him and approached the new monarch's bed directly. Mu Jian exhaled deeply. Han Zhong saw Xinjun lying on his side safely on the collapse, making a heavy snort sound, obviously Zhao Jun was very sleepy. According to this situation, it will be difficult for Zhao Jun to wake up after sleeping for a few more hours.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."Han Zhong stood on the bed and shouted softly several times.
Han Zhong's voice came one after another. Zhao Yong instinctively sat up, yawned a few times in succession, and his sleepy eyes were blank. Zhao Yong saw that the person who came was a eunuch order, and his body fell on the bed if he was disobedient, and said impatiently: "Don't be noisy, widow, sleep for a while." ”
Seeing the monarch's dull expression, Mu Jian hid aside and snickered.
Han Zhong, seeing him like this, he also had a headache... The young man sleeping on the bed did not have the slightest monarchial demeanor. A headache is a headache, but things have to be done. It was not easy for him to wake up Xinjun from his sleep, how could he continue to sleep, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to court." ”
When Zhao Yong heard this, it was like a nightmare, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "When is it?" ”
Seeing that he was sober, Han Zhong replied unhappily: "The hour has passed, and the courtiers are already waiting outside the palace. Your Majesty, if you are sleeping, I will go out and tell the courtiers to wait patiently outside. The king woke up from his sleep and went to meet them. ”
"It's time." Zhao Yong, who was completely sleepy in an instant, jumped out of bed. When his feet landed, a cone pain hit his entire body, but he didn't care about the pain in his body, and shouted to several maids around him: "Hurry up, change clothes for the widow." ”
Seeing this, Han Zhong had successfully pulled Xinjun up from the gentle township. Raise your hands and slap your palms twice. Four palace maids greeted the monarch and changed his clothes. Zhao Yong saw that they were moving too slowly, and kept urging them to move faster.
Mu Jian stood stunned and looked at Zhao Yong, is this person in front of him still the person he knows?
"I'm panicking now, why did I go earlier. Alas, young! I don't know how important it is. Sleep lazily should also be divided into different times. Han Zhong kept these words in his heart and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, you slept well last night." ”
"Well... Good. Zhao Yong said lazily: "The arrangement of the Great Order will never be forgotten by the widow." ”
Han Zhong didn't know the deep meaning of Zhao Yong's words, and said with a smile: "Xie Junshang." ”
Zhao Yong hurriedly came to a palace maid and poured cold water on his face to remove his sleepiness. The moment the cold water touched his cheek, he sobered up a little. Perhaps, it was a little anxious, the range of action was too large, and while pouring cold water on the face, the water splashed the palace maid. The palace maid respectfully served the utensils containing the water, not daring to make the slightest sound, nor daring to dodge sideways. Let the splash of water on the king's face come to his face. Suddenly, Zhao Yong's movements stopped, and he said embarrassedly to Han Zhong: "Da Ling, you go out first and deal with the courtiers for the widow." The widow is coming. ”
Han Zhong paused for a moment, smiled bitterly, and arched his hand: "Huh." ”
After Han Zhong left, the palace maid saw that Jun Shang was full of mischievousness, and a crisp laugh came out of her mouth. Mu Jian, while looking at the departing figure of the eunuch Ling, moved his steps towards Zhao Yong, "Your Majesty, you obviously didn't sleep well last night, how could you lie to Da Ling?" ”
Zhao Yong said helplessly: "What can I say." ”
"To tell you the truth, it's best to scold Da Ling."
Zhao Yong glared at him, "Do you want me to be charged with bullying the elderly?" ”
Mu Jian paused. I don't understand the starting point of the king's consideration. Suddenly, seeing the appearance of the monarch, Mu Jian couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Yong asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"Oh, it's fine." Mu Jian was afraid of interrupting the monarch's Yaxing, so he didn't tell him what he saw. Mu Jian sent a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, you are tired, just rest for a while." Let those courtiers wait peacefully. You see, you don't have the demeanor of a monarch at all. ”
"Do you want me to be a faint king?" Zhao Yong, with his hands open, the two palace maids wiped the remaining droplets of water on Junshang's hands neatly. After the cleaning, Zhao Yong also felt a lot more relaxed, and continued: "When I go out, maybe the minister will say something bad about me." ”
Mu Jian tilted his head and said puzzledly: "You are the king, they are the ministers." The courtiers dared to accuse the king. This is a felony committed. ”
"The courtiers left behind by the monarch are all temperamental. I can't afford to mess with it. Zhao Yong thought about the serious faces of the courtiers in the court, and felt a cold air behind him, "If you offend them, you will have bitter fruits to eat in the future." ”
Mu Jian pursed his lips, indicating that he didn't understand.
Zhao Yong couldn't tell him clearly for a while, and hurriedly said, "Let's go!" Go and meet the grumpy courtiers. ”
Mu Jian's eyes widened and said, "Your Majesty, you go to see them like this." They will say that you are not well-mannered. ”
Zhao Yong said blankly: "Widow, what's wrong." ”
"Your Majesty..." Mu Jian couldn't say the second half of the sentence, and couldn't hold back his laughter.
Zhao Yong stood in front of the bronze mirror, in which there was a young man with messy hair, who was looking at him with strange eyes. Looking down again, looking at his dress, he was drenched in water. Suddenly, Zhao Yong understood that the young man in the mirror was himself. Zhao Yong's whole person was a little broken. He secretly admonished himself to be restrained and to endure.
Mu Jian, hiding aside, gloated and smiled: "I have long wanted to remind you. But, Your Majesty..."
In the face of this kind of gloating person, Zhao Yongke did not give him a good face. While instructing the palace maid to change into new clothes for herself, she shouted: "You are still here, go and find out the situation outside for me." ”
"I'll go." Mu Jian crawled away with a roll, and the corners of his mouth kept laughing.
In the main hall, the ministers did not see the new monarch for a long time, and they talked about it in private. Fortunately, with Xiangbang Zhao Leopard pressing the formation, the situation is not very bad. Li Dui approached Feiyi's side and asked in a low voice, "When you have passed the palace, there is no trace of the king." ”
Fei Yi replied in a low voice: "Yesterday's ceremony, the monarch was tired. Now, maybe I'm still dating Zhou Gong. ”
"Date Zhou Gong." Li Dui stared at him with an incredible gaze, "Isn't the monarch afraid that the courtiers will accuse him of mistakes?" ”
"Today is the day of the king's great reward. These courtiers, who are patient and do not have seizures, in order to try to leave a good impression? ”
Li Dui looked at the people around him, nodded and said, "Yes, once a son of heaven and a courtier." Whether these people can gain a firm foothold in the court or not is up to the new monarch to decide. ”
Fei Yi snickered: "Perhaps, these courtiers still think that the monarch is testing their concentration?" ”
Li Dui agreed: "Reasonable, reasonable." ”
Suddenly, the eunuch ordered Han Zhong to face the courtiers, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, arrive." Courtiers, salutes. ”
Courtiers, stand up and greet you.
Zhao Yong looked dignified, walked to his position, raised his hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”
The ministers thanked him and said, "Thank you, your lord." ”
"The five kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Qi tried to deceive me at the funeral of my father. Thanks to the efforts of the people, Fang turned the danger into a disaster. Today, the widow gives rewards, and the meritorious are sealed. Zhao Yong glanced at the eunuch envoy. Han Zhong stepped forward, unfolded the thick bamboo slips, and rewarded the meritorious people this time. Xiangbang Zhao Leopard, give 100 million gold; The prince of Dasi Kou was named Fengyang Jun and gave 100 million gold. Zhao Ding, the national pillar, gave 500,000 gold. Lieutenant Zhao Yin, 200,000 gold. Feiyi, for the big Sima, a reward of 100,000 gold; Li Dui, for Zuo Sikou, a reward of 10,000 gold; Lou slow, for the general of Handan, a thousand gold. Others, etc., the title will be upgraded by one level and a thousand gold. Happy with the people, Handan is happy for three days.
Han Zhong put away the bamboo slips and said, "Thank you, minister." ”
The ministers bowed down and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Han Zhong turned around and waited for the king's instructions. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Zhao Yong giving instructions. Han Zhong secretly glanced at Jun Shang and saw Jun Shang holding his chin with one hand, as if he was asleep. A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Han Zhong's forehead, and the first time the king had a big court meeting, he actually fell asleep peacefully. Faced with an unexpected situation, Han Zhong quickly prepared a countermeasure, "Your Majesty, the reward has been completed." ”
"Huh" Han Zhong replied to himself, turned around, looked calm, and faced the courtiers, "The reward is over, everyone, let's disperse!" ”
The ministers saluted and took their leave.
Han Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, he had finally deceived this group of shrewd courtiers. At this time, Zhao Yong suddenly woke up and said blankly: "Minister, where have you gone?" ”
"Chancellor, let's go." Han Zhong's eyes were dull, and he secretly expressed worry, rewarding such a big thing, the monarch actually fell asleep. Zhao has such a monarch, is it a blessing or a curse.
Zhao Yongcai didn't know what Han Zhong was thinking, got up and stretched, and jokingly said, "Da Ling, you did the right thing." If only these old men had known that the widow had just fallen asleep. Maybe they will speak ill of the widow again? ”
"The minister is gone, and I should rest well."
Back in the inner hall, Zhao Yongke did not lie on his back on the bed, delaying time. The court rewarded him, and he deliberately made a sleeping posture, which was just an illusion. In fact, he was more sober about this matter than anyone else. When Zhao Suhou was in danger, he had earnestly supervised. After Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, don't act willfully, reward ministers at will, and don't let the court situation change too much. The rewards were all arranged according to Zhao Suhouyu's lifetime.
Feiyi, Li Dui and others are the pillars of the country, but the monarch chooses to turn a blind eye to their merits and does not use them more heavily. Today, Zhao Yong only realized the good and hard work of the monarch's father. Zhao Suhou's move was to secretly cultivate a group of useful people for his son. Zhao Yong's reward for them will definitely make this group of people with lofty ideals deeply feel the grace of the monarch's knowledge, and he will do his best to assist him in the future.
However, Zhao Suhou said that sentence: Li Dui is strategic, but selfish and cautious. It can be used, but it can't be reused. What does this mean? So far, Zhao Yong has not understood his father's words thoroughly. Mu Jian, as his friend, of course Zhao Yong would not leave him behind, and at the beginning of his ascension, he was named Zhongzheng.
Zhao Yong is thinking about the future of the country. Mu Jian came with joy, "Your Majesty, Sima Wang, I have returned to the palace." ”
Zhao Yong asked, "Where is the Sima Wang clan?" ”
"Waiting outside the temple." Mu Jian said: "I got the news and immediately came to inform the king." ”
"Why don't you tell him to come in and see me." Zhao Yong walked around the hall, calmed down and thought for a while, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait, I want to see him in person." ”
