Chapter 152: Eight Kings, You Are Shameless (I)
It was dark, but countless huge candles were lit in the hall, and the light was still very bright.
The old lady had no strength to speak, but her head was still clear, and she glanced at everyone's faces. It turned out that several important ministers left by her husband either died or were demoted from the court by themselves. It can be said that none of these important ministers are not subject to their great favors.
The Zheng family knows how to take a fame test to repay themselves, but what about these big guys?
Not a single person spoke!
Zheng Lang was very ashamed behind everyone at this time, he thought about it for a long time for this catch, but in the end the balance fell to the little emperor. Yes, just one piece of clothing, in the Hereafter, ten pieces of clothing will not matter. But in this day and age, is it really just a piece of clothing?
Although it was clear, his heart continued to struggle.
But even if he changed his mind and mustered up the courage, there would be no chance. The old lady used all her strength to grab this grasp, and was disappointed, and finally let go.
The old lady died, and the bigwigs left one by one, and some people even thought that they were finally dead, and now they were stable, and they could hand over all the big policies to the emperor, and they didn't have to worry and fear as before, and they were afraid that there would be another Wu Zetian in the Song Dynasty.
As for it!
However, they looked at Zheng Lang strangely.
Seeing that the old lady was unwilling and unwilling to die, Zheng Lang had already guessed her last thought, this group of wolf ministers and thieves would inevitably strip away the mourning family's robes after the death of the mourning family. So he died very unwillingly. Zheng Lang was even more ashamed.
People die greatly, at this time his mind has changed again, with the old lady in the past ten years, even when Song Zhenzong was alive, she has made a lot of contributions to the Song Dynasty, isn't it just a dress? Why can't she be allowed to wear it?
But at this time, it's too late.
The look of shame on his face was even heavier.
Where did a few big guys think that he was actually thinking about this, and thought that what he said just now did not repay the old lady in time, so he was uneasy. Yan Shu nodded appreciatively, this is a pure minister. Don't look small, I think about the Confucian Avenue all day long, so I do things and are pure.
waved his hand, that means Zheng Lang. It just so happens that Zheng Lang's status is also ingenious, if he is clothed, he has stayed in the palace, if he is an official, he has to avoid suspicion, he has a fame, he is not an official, and he is young, so let him accompany the little emperor.
The big guys will understand and leave quietly.
The little emperor was sobbing in a low voice, falling into deep sadness, and regretting it in his heart. The main thing is that he doesn't know his own background yet, so the little emperor also regrets what he has done in the past six months. Take a look, in order to seize power, he first burned down the palace, and then changed the year name in the Taimiao, forcing his mother step by step. Isn't it just half a year, why can't you wait?
What is even more excessive is that when his mother was seriously ill, he immediately posthumously presented Kou Zhun, Cao Yu, Zhou Huaizheng, Cao Yungong, and Zhou Wenzhen's old officials.
Kou Zhun was exiled to Lingnan for that reason? Isn't it just to fight for the righteousness of the prison country for yourself? But Ding Wei was bad, such a dignified tough guy, when he left the capital, the people were crowded, and he couldn't even move the carriages and horses, so excited that Kou Zhun shed tears and said: "Which of you asks Ding Wei for me, where did I lose him." ”
Is Zhou Huaizheng wrong? No, he planned to kill Ding Wei, ban his mother, and make himself emperor. This is a eunuch who is very loyal to himself, but unfortunately he is not effective in his work and dies.
Is Ding wrong? No, he is his father's courtier, and from his father's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. But the little emperor was still very jealous of Ding Wei and did not issue an order to recall him.
This edict will be issued sooner or later, but it should not be issued when my mother is seriously ill!
Sitting in front of the bed, sobbing nonstop.
Zheng Lang didn't know what to do, and stood silently behind him.
From time to time, palace maids and eunuchs came in and out, as if they didn't see it, and these eunuchs and palace maids looked at the expressions of the two and didn't dare to disturb. Before you know it, the morning star is lit up, and the sky is about to dawn. A young woman of about twenty years old, surrounded by the ladies of the court, walked in.
Zheng Lang has never seen what the queen's dress looks like, but it is clearly written in some gift books. I know that this daughter is Queen Guo, the granddaughter of Guo Chong, a hero of the Song Dynasty, and a native of Jincheng, Yingzhou (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). It is rumored that the old lady herself was born as beautiful as a flower and was loved by Song Zhenzong, but she was afraid that her adopted son would follow in her husband's footsteps, so she deliberately chose a mediocre woman to be the queen of her son, that is, this woman.
After a quick glance, it wasn't really ugly, medium in appearance, and even after some dressing, the appearance could be regarded as medium or higher, at least no less than Liu'er. You can only sweep it by, you can't really stare at it. Although because of the special environment, I am still young, so I don't need to deliberately avoid it, if I stare at it, it is very rude. He quickly retracted his gaze, gave a salute and said, "The minister will see the queen." ”
"Flat."
"Empress Xie."
"You are that Zheng Jieyuan?"
"Exactly."
"This palace has read your handwriting, it's very good."
"The queen has won the award, but the minister can't afford it."
The answer between the two woke the little emperor from his grief, he looked at Zheng Lang, and asked strangely: "Zheng Jieyuan, why didn't you leave?" ”
Zheng Lang was ashamed and dazed at this time. Xiaodou Eight Sages King is inevitable, as soon as the old lady dies, no one suppresses it, as the most noble in the clan, and the only closest elder of the little emperor, his status will be respected to the point of no return.
The last time his son beat himself, he didn't even express any meaning, which shows his status in his heart. If you are a little unhappy, just say a few words, and you will be unlucky. If you don't take the test, it is impossible for the Eight Sages King to take a group of people to Zhengzhou to find the door. After all, he is also afraid of the mouth of the Minister of Qingliu. But once you become an official, you may be unlucky. No matter how you treat the little emperor, or how the little emperor treats yourself, does it work for the Eight Sages to speak?
Then wait for the bumps, and even wander from Lingnan to Xiangjiang and then to Sichuan, slowly boiling in difficult places until he dies of old age.
As long as you fight by yourself, you can reduce the status and influence of the Eight Sages King in the heart of the little emperor. After the fight, the Eight Sages King was even embarrassed to blow the wind in the ears of the little emperor in order to avoid suspicion.
Originally, I only planned to play a few books, but anyway, I had the identity of a lifter, and I was not guilty of anything. But the old lady actually summoned him to the inner palace, which is a rare opportunity. However, the old lady was kind to herself, but she used her death to pave the way for herself. That's right?
In other words, Lu Yijian and Ding Wei would not even think about it, the opportunity is here, why not do it! But he is a kind-hearted person after all, and he is confused at the moment. The little emperor asked him, he shook his head blankly, and said, "The minister doesn't know." ”
"You have a good heart, but you are a little smaller, no matter what happens to you, you don't have to blame yourself," the little emperor thought to the left, and gestured his height again with his hand, and said with a forced smile.
"I really don't know."
"You idiot boy," the little emperor didn't care about him, in order to write, he actually asked a strange little lady to stop and show him eyes, which made the people in the capital laugh and talk. Mother is still very good to him, about sad and stupid again.
Otherwise, who will stand down this night.
The little emperor turned his head, looked at Guo again, and asked, "What time is it now?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's the fifth watch, and the concubine heard in the harem that you sat for a few hours without eating or drinking, and the concubine was very worried, so she made a bowl of lotus porridge and brought it over." With a wave of his hand, the two palace maids brought a bowl of porridge on a tray.
"Let's have another bowl, for Zheng Jieyuan," the little emperor said as he looked at Zheng Lang.
"I don't dare."
"You idiot, sit down."
"Oh," this night Zheng Lang was at war in his heart, and he stood for a night without realizing it, and when he walked at this moment, his head was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. It was still the little emperor who was quick and helped him up. Then he said pityingly: "I really don't do your business, when you leave, you can go back to rest." Alas, it seems that I was negligent and did not give you orders. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the porridge in the tray to Zheng Lang, and said, "I'm sitting, you are standing and exhausting your strength, you can eat first." ”
"No, the minister is the minister, and His Majesty is the king."
"You're here again, the word law, law is law, and there is also a degree, you can loosen it in degree."
Such a little emperor, what else can Zheng Lang say, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Being Your Majesty's courtier is a truly happy thing." ”
"You're crazy again." The little emperor finally made him happy this time.
Guo Shi saw that Zheng Lang also liked it, and ordered the palace maid to boil another bowl of lotus seed porridge for the little emperor, and said to the little emperor: "The queen mother has died, Your Majesty has to take care of your health, after all, if the big country is waiting for you to manage." ”
Zheng Lang was slightly surprised, the history books belittled her very lowly, arrogant and unreasonable, jealous, ignorant and unreasonable. If this is the case, the posture is only here, why did the little emperor miss her later?
In fact, to evaluate a person, you really can't watch it in pure black and white.
"I know, you have to take care of yourself," Zhao Zhen said kindly. At the moment, it seems that there is absolutely no contradiction between the two of them, but it is a pity that Guo Shi has the same grasp, if there is no such grasp, how can there be those things later.
This is the pity of the little emperor, his biological mother has never seen it once before her death, and the harem has made the ministers tossed in a mess, and even a few beauties she likes have been forcibly dragged out to become female Taoists, and the queen died inexplicably. Externally, he was bullied by Li Yuanhao's bastard again.
Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty, the queen is right, Your Majesty still puts the body first. ”
It's dawn, the sky hasn't yet dawned, and once it does, something big is waiting to happen. That's when you can take it!
"You too, you can't pass the provincial exam this year, so you will take a good exam for me next year."
"Your Majesty, you can't say it, take a look at the turmoil caused by Zhengzhou's move." Zheng Lang immediately stopped. As long as this sentence spreads, not only the examiners in Zhengzhou, but also the examiners of the Ministry of Rites will also have a headache. If you record your ranking too low, how to explain to the emperor!
"Yes, I lost my words," the little emperor Fang found that something was wrong, so he was not mature now, but later he had benevolence, and after seeing Zheng Lang finish eating, he asked kindly: "Is it enough?" ”
"Enough, it really doesn't matter if the minister is the most important, or Your Majesty is the most important. The Great Song Dynasty can be a young minister, but not His Majesty. ”
The sky is dawning!
