Chapter 156: The King of Honor
The next day, Chen Yaoyao wore a new court dress to the court.
The dragon chair was empty, Chen Yaoyao stood on the left side of the dragon chair, and then Xiao Dezi read out the holy decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: I am unwell and need to stay in bed for a few days, so the king of Yu deals with the government on behalf of me, and above the court, the king of honor is like me, and all the ministers obey the orders of the king of Yu, and those who violate it will be killed."
Zong Zheng Lingyue has been implementing benevolent government since he became the emperor, and the words of 'killing without forgiveness' are rarely said, and now in order to protect Chen Yaoyao, he said such serious words to the civil and military officials, which shows how important Chen Xiaoyao is to Zong Zheng Lingyue.
Most of the generals have gotten along with Chen Yaoyao, so they have no opinion on Chen Yaoyao replacing Zong Zheng Lingyue to deal with the government.
But most of the officials are not good, they think that Chen Yaoyao is a martial artist, and he stays at the border all the year round, does not know the national situation, and has not been to the court since returning to the imperial capital.
Most of the officials attach great importance to etiquette and regulations, Chen Yaoyao's existence has broken through the previous regulations and etiquette, and he is wearing armor to go to the battlefield, and he is also the queen, Chen Yaoyao, who should have been a woman's husband and godson, has not been touched, and there is no precedent for women to serve as officials in the court before, and Chen Yaoyao has also set a precedent.
Many women now see Chen Yaoyao living so wantonly and unrestrained, so they want to look up to her, including some women from high-ranking official eunuchs, so many nobles actually don't like Chen Yaoyao's existence very much.
Because in their eyes, Chen Yaoyao played a particularly bad role model, and even regarded her as a thorn in the flesh, and many of them were very disgusted with Chen Yaoyao, the queen, represented by Zong Zheng Lingyue's hand-picked Zuo Xiang.
So as soon as she went to court, Zuo Xiang threw a problem for her.
Xiao Dezi moved out a black unicorn chair that was a little smaller than the dragon chair, and then Chen Yaoyao sat on it, leaning back against the back of the chair, and his posture was very arrogant.
Xiao Dezi said loudly: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" ”
"Lord Yu, the minister has a book."
Chen Yaoyao squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said in his heart, isn't this the left minister of Zong Zhengling's Yue election?
"Let's talk about it."
"There was a flood in the south of the Qianzhou Kingdom, many people were displaced, and many refugees came to the northern imperial capital, how to deal with the flood? And how to settle these refugees who are about to pour into the imperial capital? ”
Chen Yaoyao lifted Erlang's legs, and Zuo Xiang looked at her with contempt and contempt in his eyes, obviously to deliberately make things difficult for Chen Yaoyao.
Chen Yaoyao smiled confidently, "It's not difficult to do." ”
"Flood control is nothing more than building embankments and dredging. Commander Mu, you take 2,000 men to the south to build dikes, and dredge drainage ditches to divert floodwaters into the river. ”
"To resettle refugees, you can set up refugee camps outside the imperial capital, distribute food, and wait for ** to rebuild their homes that were washed away by the flood, and then let them go back. And this task is very important, and the king thinks that he has to lead the head of the household to discuss and deal with it. ”
Chen Yaoyao said with a smile, his face was calm, and it could be said that he could deal with the questions raised by Prime Minister Zuo easily.
The speech officials present all thought that Chen Yaoyao was a martial artist who could only dance with knives and guns, had developed limbs and a simple mind, who knew that Chen Yaoyao was also the head of the way when talking about governing the government, and even some of the views were very novel, which they had never heard before, and they were even better than what they thought and said.
Therefore, many officials have changed their opinion of Chen Yaoyao a lot.
After going down to the court, Chen Yaoyao only felt that her mouth was dry, and then she rubbed her sore and stiff neck, "The court is really tired." ”
I used to think that being the emperor was majestic, but now it seems that I am very tired just by facing such a group of officials and generals, and I have to use my brains, and it is really not a human job to fight wits and courage with them.
After returning to Chengqian Palace, Chen Yaoyao first changed into civilian clothes, and then went to see Zongzheng Lingyue.
After drinking several meals of medicine, Zong Zheng Lingyue's voice has improved a lot, and he can barely speak now.
"How does it feel to go to court?" Zong Zhenglingyue asked Xiao Dezi to pour a glass of water for Chen Yaoyao, and he asked.
"No, I'm so tired." Chen Yaoyao drank a glass of water and collapsed in her chair.
"In the past two days, I've worked hard for you first."
"It's okay, you take care of yourself." Chen Yaoyao smiled, "I can still withstand it." ”
Xiao Dezi brought a bowl of medicine, and then said to Zong Zhenglingyue: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine." ”
Zong Zhengling frowned more and said in disgust: "How can there be medicine again?" ”
"Imperial Doctor Zheng said, you have to take medicine five times a day, and this is the third meal."
Zong Zhengling is very reluctant to drink medicine, this is a problem that he had before, if he is not sick now and can't get out of bed, he has to take medicine to regulate his body, it is estimated that Zong Zhengling will not drink medicine.
"Give the medicine to the king."
Chen Yaoyao took the medicine bowl, Chen Yaoyao's nose is much more sensitive now than before, and she keenly smells that the smell in the medicine is not quite right, as if it has a bloody smell.
Chen Yaoyao's heart sank, but her face was not obvious, she took the medicine, scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon and put it to her mouth and blew, and then pressed it against Zong Zheng Lingyue's lips.
"If you drink the medicine, your illness will be cured."
"But, the medicine, it's very bitter." Zong Zhengling's face was pale, his tone was soft, and his eyes were begging.
But Chen Yaoyao's attitude was still very tough, and his arms were kept raised, as if you had to drink.
Zong Zhengling saw Chen Yaoyao so persistent, and finally sighed deeply, and after drinking the medicine that Chen Yaoyao blew cold, he directly snatched the bowl in her hand, and then drank the medicine in the bowl.
After drinking the medicine, Zong Zheng Lingyue's facial features were almost wrinkled together, obviously this medicine was really not delicious.
"Good medicine is good for disease, follow the doctor's advice to drink medicine." Chen Yaoyao conjured a sweet dumpling like a trick, and then stuffed it into Zong Zheng Lingyue's mouth, asking him to remove the bitter taste in his mouth.
"You scared the hell out of me yesterday, and I almost thought something was going to happen to you." Chen Yaoyao looked palpitating,
Zong Zhengling smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you." ”
"In the future, you have to take good care of your body, Qi Yun has diagnosed your pulse, your body is really empty."
"I will definitely pay attention in the future, and I will take good care of my body."
"By the way, I still have something to ask you, your chills have something to do with what happened back then, right?"
The smile on Zong Zhenglingyue's face froze, and then he said, "Hmm...... Be. ”
"Ling Yue, you're hiding something from me, right?"
Zong Zhengling looked at Chen Yaoyao, "Xiaoyao, I can't tell you too much now, wait for two days, wait for me to get better, I'll tell you all my secrets, okay?" ”
