Chapter 11 I am the emperor, who am I afraid of?
Finally came back, tired to death, thirsty to death, alas, is it easy to be an emperor, you have to take care of everything, after changing the emperor's regular clothes and sitting on the couch, he said to Xiaodouzi, "Go and pass the meal, I'm hungry, by the way, call the queen and the virtuous concubine to eat together"
After I finished speaking, Xiaodouzi answered, I actually belong to the type that likes people to eat more fragrantly
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Lin beside the Empress Dowager is here," Yudie came over to me and said
"What is he doing here," I said, a little puzzled, "call him in."
I turned around and sat down on the couch, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Lin Huai'an walking in with a hunched waist and small steps
"Old slave Lin Huai'an, knock to see the emperor"
"Get up, why have you come to see what I am doing?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager's decree, please invite the emperor to taste tea in the Cining Palace"
"Okay, I know, you go back to the Queen Mother, and say that I will go to the Queen Mother and her old man to say goodbye after I have dinner."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager means to let the Emperor go over now"
What's wrong with this old lady This is, let me go now, what's the matter, I kept thinking, but I didn't think at all about someone complaining to the Empress Dowager
"In that case, let's go, Queen Rainbutterfly, if I haven't come back, tell them that you don't have to wait for me"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave has written it down"
After sitting on the dragon for a while, I arrived at the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and I got off the dragon and raised my legs to go inside, but was stopped by Lin Huai'an
"Your Majesty, you wait here for a while, and let the slave maid go in and report it"
"What? This is in my palace, and I still come to see my own grandmother, you have to go in first to report, Lin Huai'an, are you getting bolder" My voice was very cold, Lin Huai'an trembled for a while, and then knelt on the ground and kept saying
"The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, the emperor is angry"
I snorted coldly, lifted my legs and walked in
"Grandson, please say hello to grandmother," I bowed slightly, thinking of the Empress Dowager
"The emperor is here, sit down" The Empress Dowager was weak and wanted to prop up her body, but she couldn't do it, she was too weak
"Grandmother, don't get up, lie down quickly" I took advantage of the situation to do the Queen Mother's bedside,
"Why did the emperor call the mourning grandmother here, this is not the title that the royal family should have"
"Hehe, call you grandmother, naturally because you are my own grandmother, don't you think it's kind to call you like this, hehe", I diverted the conversation and continued, "I don't know why grandmother called me here at this time"
"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, everything you do is to become an example for the people of your subjects, all your actions, the people of the world can also see it, cough, you issued an order today that from the emperor to the hundred officials, the daily meal shall not exceed three dishes and one soup, this is the majesty of the self-descending royal family and the cold hearts of the ministers, cough cough cough" The Queen Mother said so bitterly
"Grandmother, are we going to be extravagant and waste for the sake of the royal family and those ministers, don't you know that since the Liao State invaded and occupied the sixteen states of Youyun in the Great Song Dynasty, the Daimyo Mansion has been starving all year round, and a large part of the territory in the north of our country is on the verge of war. Being able to buy a handful of maltose for their children is even their luxury, grandmother, didn't you ask me why I called you grandmother instead of the empress dowager, then I really told you the truth, because the empress dowager is old, she has experienced and endured too much suffering for the Great Song Dynasty, it is time to rest, as a grandmother, take care of her body, and spend her old age in peace. Grandmother have a good rest, and the grandson has retired, "At the interface where the Queen Mother was speechless in surprise, I strode out of the Cining Palace
"Congratulations to the emperor," said the eunuch and palace maid on duty in Cining Hall on his knees
I walked out of the gate of Cining Palace, looked down at Lin Huai'an, who was also kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lin Huai'an, take good care of the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager is unfortunate to ride a crane, then you can continue to serve her old man," ignoring Lin Huai'an, who was kneeling on the ground and shaking like chaff, called loudly
"Iron Tiger"
"The minister is here, what does the emperor command?"
"You immediately arrange for the guards to protect the Cining Palace, no matter who is not called, they are not allowed to enter or leave, and if there is any disobedience, all will be arrested."
"Obey the order", Tie Hu immediately commanded the guards around him, and then with a wave of his arm, nearly a hundred imperial guards surrounded this Cining Palace
