After the ministers retreated, only Wei Zhongxian stood beside him, and Tianqi sighed and said to him: "I am a little tired and want to go to the harem for a walk. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly agreed, called someone to bring the imperial chariot, and the group hugged the apocalypse and went to the harem.

Along the way, the apocalypse was silent, and Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to disturb him, and the whole team was silent, bypassing the Qianqing Palace and heading in the direction of Kunning Palace.

Apocalypse lay in the soft seat, his mind fluctuating - he was really tired, exhausted.

Reigning in the world and sweeping the Sihe has never been his ideal, his hobbies are complex, crafts, operas, amusement are all good, and even in some aspects of the skills are outstanding, in the whole industry is second to none. However, whoever calls him a descendant of Chengzu, who calls him the current Son of Heaven, the burden of his family and country has always been deeply on his shoulders, and he is about to be overwhelmed.

Although he can be indulged in fun and obsessed with work, he still has to face all kinds of incurable diseases under the whole world, and he has to worry about these tedious things. A person's energy is limited, and the limited energy invested in infinite coping only makes him feel more and more tired, almost unable to hold on.

The hobbies on weekdays have consumed a lot of his mind, and now there are constant disturbances in the court, which makes him feel very bored. Even his body is not as good as in previous years, he always feels back pain, dizziness, and his energy is not as good as before, whether it is building wooden tools or dealing with state affairs, he always feels a little powerless.

Seeing that he had entered the harem, Wei Zhongxian finally couldn't help but ask, "Long live Lord, which concubine's residence are you going to?" ”

Tianqi raised his tired and sleepy eyes, spit out a few words, and said, "Go to Kunning Palace." ”

Wei Zhongxian was shocked in his heart, Long Live Lord hadn't been there for a long time, but he didn't dare to disobey the holy will, and said, "Okay, the old slave will send someone to pass on the queen's mother to take over." ”

Apocalypse let out an "um" and stopped talking.

After Wei Zhongxian ordered the little eunuch to pass the news quickly, he secretly gritted his teeth and said to the apocalypse: "The old slave took the liberty of asking, I don't know if the Lord Long Live has made up his mind about today's court discussion?" The old slave should also pass down the holy edict, so that the hundred officials of the court and the central government should follow it, so that they will not talk about it in private. ”

Tianqi took a deep breath of the fresh air in the harem and said, "You say, is Yu Zhigao really arrogant and lawless, disobedient to control?" In fact, what he was more worried about was not that Yu Zhigao colluded with Hongyi, but that Yu Zhigao supported the army and respected himself and did not accept the constraints of the imperial court. As a son of heaven, he subconsciously cares very much about this kind of rebellious behavior of the military town, especially the successive governors of Fujian have already set the policy of "taking the lead in appeasement", and Yu Zhigao has repeatedly confronted the imperial court, which makes him particularly intolerable.

In today's court discussion, although only Huang Liji and Li Guopu agreed to punish Yu Zhigao, at least seven points in his heart were biased towards them, but he was still a little hesitant and ruthless - Yu Zhigao's family has been driven by the country for two generations, and his father Yu Dayou is the pillar of the country, and the government and the opposition are full of praise.

Therefore, he did not express his position directly during the court discussion, but kept thinking and hesitating, and only then did he ask Wei Zhongxian at this moment, wanting to hear his opinion again.

Wei Zhongxian's heart throbbed when he heard this, and he replied: "The old slave thinks that the court discussion is to let the ministers express their opinions and express their opinions. Now that almost all of the six ministries and nine secretaries are in favor of not curing Yu Zhigao's crime, the old slave feels that this person's views may be limited, but most people's views are more comprehensive...... I don't know if it's right or not, but please give me a hint. ”

Tianqi shook his head and smiled, pointed to the Kunning Palace in front of him, and said, "I am resting here, Da Jue, you can go and get busy, I will call you if there is something." ”

Wei Zhongxian agreed, and escorted the apocalypse outside the palace before leaving.

After entering Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang Yan had already led all the palace maids to greet her, salute her, and shout long live.

Tianqi stepped forward to support Zhang Yan, and said softly: "The queen is exempt, I haven't come for a long time, but I want to mess with you." ”

Zhang Yan smiled charmingly and said: "The emperor is worried about state affairs, and the concubines are very pleased to be here today!" ”

Apocalypse smiled: "How can I be as diligent as the queen said, the queen is going to laugh at me." I'm here today to take a good rest and listen to some interesting stories from you, and I'll be satisfied. ”

Zhang Yan said: "The emperor doesn't have to be too humble, these days the concubines heard that you personally reviewed hundreds of chapters, and also convened six ministries and nine secretaries to discuss major affairs in the court, the concubines were happy when they heard it, the emperor is so in charge of state affairs is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, just don't get tired of your body." While ordering someone to serve tea, he helped the apocalypse to sit down in the chair.

After the palace maid who had to wait retreated, Tianqi hugged Zhang Yan and said, "Yan'er, I haven't come for a long time, you won't blame me, right?" For Zhang Yan, Tianqi always has a special feeling, this dignified and virtuous woman is no better than other concubines in the harem, other women will only be tactful in front of him, showing her charming and seductive abilities, but Zhang Yan is always soft and rigid in front of him, admonishing him in every way, and is not afraid of him at all.

This queen was personally chosen by him, maybe the apocalypse was too stubborn in his heart, so he subconsciously chose such a dignified queen for himself, and only in front of Zhang Yan would he put down the emperor's shelf, as if he was an ignorant naughty boy, and let him persuade and reprimand.

Zhang Yan struggled slightly, left the embrace of the apocalypse, sat down next to him, and said: "How dare the concubine blame the emperor, it's just that the emperor is too obsessed with craftsmanship, and it may damage the dragon body for a long time, and the state affairs are already busy, and the concubine just hopes that the emperor will pay more attention to his body, and not work too hard......"

Tianqi smiled bitterly when she heard this, the queen is really the queen, and every time she secretly persuades herself to give up those strange skills and turn her attention to state affairs, but she is also a cheap, no matter how she blames the resentment, she just won't feel angry, and said: "Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, so don't worry too much." ”

Zhang Yan poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, glanced at him, and said, "Every time you say this, I have never seen you really do it." ”

Tianqi snorted, picked up a book from the table, and said, "Yan'er, what have you been reading recently?" ”

Zhang Yan said angrily: "The Biography of Zhao Gao." ”

Apocalypse was depressed, and this book was clearly what she had placed here a long time ago and deliberately let herself see. Zhang Yan's meaning is not obvious, that is, let him have less cronies of those eunuchs and more contact with the courtiers outside. In the past, she had persuaded herself to alienate Wei Zhongxian and reuse the Donglin Party, but today she has tried her best to rectify this set again.

Apocalypse sighed and drank tea.

Zhang Yan said slowly: "The concubine lives in the harem, so she shouldn't be in the state affairs. It's just that I heard that in the current court, hundreds of officials complained, saying that they raised the dynasty but knew that there was a Wei father-in-law, and they didn't know that there was a tomorrow. And call Wei's father-in-law 9,900 years old, your majesty, this world is Zhu Mingxia, but not his Wei Zhongxian's world! ”

Apocalypse frowned, slightly displeased. Zhang Yan is like this, he always says something that he doesn't like, he rarely comes here, just to be close to her, relax and relax his tired soul, but he always can't get her comfort and comfort. But this is also expected, didn't I come here with the original intention of wanting to hear her opinion?

Zhang Yan saw him frowning, and said: "The concubine knows that she doesn't like what she says, and it makes the emperor unhappy, but the concubine dares to ask you, are those Donglin Party members really so heinous?" ”

Apocalypse closed his eyes, his heart tangled.

In all fairness, there are also many capable courtiers among the Donglin Party, and not all of them are boastful. Back then, he wanted Donglin to cooperate with other parties and contribute to this great tomorrow, but the Donglin people wanted to dominate the dynasty, and there was no room for other parties in their eyes.

No, he could only use Wei Zhongxian's power to completely sweep away Donglin. But now that Donglin is gone, the Wei Party has become stronger, and it can be seen from today's court discussion that almost all the departments of the court have been controlled by the Wei Party, although their governance strategy is very good, but sometimes they have gone to extremes. As the imperial court, as the Son of Heaven, the Wei Party has done everything he can't do and doesn't want to do, but if it goes on like this for a long time, it's not a way, who wants to be under his rule a court that sells officials and lords, and is incorruptible and shameful?

Tianqi is actually very painful in his heart, the matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the rabbit and the dog cooking is against his original intention, and he is not the kind of person who crosses the river and draws the bridge, but now the Wei party ministers seem to be unaware of this, and they are becoming more and more presumptuous......

Tianqi sighed: "Yan'er, I understand what you mean. But I'm also very worried, if those Donglin Party members are really recalled, if they are still the same party as before, then this court will only become a place of struggle for the courtiers, and from then on the chaos will be endless, and I will never think that the ministers can work with one heart and one mind and serve my great tomorrow! ”

Zhang Yan walked behind him, gently kneaded his shoulders for him, and said: "The concubine heard that when His Majesty was in power, there were also many parties in the court, and there was chaos. Now that the emperor is in a quandary, why don't you ask him again for his thoughts and listen to their opinions? ”

As soon as the words fell, Tianqi's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, Yan'er, this idea of yours is very good." Why did I forget about them? I'm going to have to ask them. He immediately shouted outside, "Someone is coming, quickly go and spread the word that the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of England have entered the palace!" ”

The eunuchs who had been standing outside for a long time heard the emperor's words, and hurriedly said that they obeyed the order, and trotted all the way out of the palace.

Tianqi breathed a long sigh of relief, held Zhang Yan's hand with his backhand and said, "My queen is really Lan Xinhui, and she can always share a lot of sorrows for me. ”

Zhang Yan smiled softly and said, "It will take a while for them to enter the palace, so the emperor will take advantage of the gap to rest and rest!" ”

Apocalypse nodded, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
