Chapter 299: Cold Hearts and Things Take a Turn Again (1)
After Zhao Xiangling returned to the south, he never went to the early dynasty.
So when she put down the news that the next day was going to be early, all the ministers were excited.
You know, they still thought that if the left minister died, the emperor would be absent for at least two or three months. But I didn't want that there was still half a moon now, and the emperor planned to come back.
This kind of diligence made the ministers feel extremely gratified.
However, before Zhao Xiangling could go on the second day, the ministers waited for an hour and did not see the emperor's first team, and the complaints were raised.
You must know that even the emperor never made them wait so long when he was most wasteful.
Now that the team has not yet arrived, it means that His Majesty will have at least one hour before he can go to court.
Just as they were noisy, the clear voice of celadon was raised: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly stood in two columns, took a few steps back, put their hands in their sleeves, and stood respectfully.
Zhao Xiangling didn't have an attendant on his side, so he stepped on the throne by himself, turned around and sat down.
The crowd bowed in amazement and stood after the salute.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty is unwell today?" ”
"None." Zhao Xiangling's answer was concise.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then said euphemistically: "Why didn't Your Majesty bring an attendant today?" ”
Zhao Xiangling smiled faintly: "I don't want to." ”
Everyone gasped. The empress has always been difficult to speak, but she has never been difficult to speak like this before.
The Tobe squire whispered tentatively: "Your Majesty, today's honor guard ......"
"What's going on?" Zhao Xiangling sat upright, and really wanted to discuss with Zhu Qing.
The hearts of the people were raised, and suddenly there was silence, and no one dared to speak.
"In the future, I don't plan to have a guard of honor, everything is simple, and it will save you the trouble you see, and I will also be troublesome when I wait." Zhao Xiangling smiled.
If there was no guard of honor, according to her footsteps, she could have been at least half a quarter of an hour late.
Of course, not everyone thinks like Zhao Xiangling: "Your Majesty, the country must not abolish the ceremony, please think twice." ”
Everyone knelt: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Xiangling knew that this was the result. In the past, she didn't dare to do anything because she was constrained, but now it's different.
"I've thought about it." Zhao Xiangling still smiled faintly, "Now that the food and clothing of the people in the south have not been solved, I should take the lead and abolish the superfluous etiquette system." ”
The crowd still wanted to persuade them, but they could only hear a faint sentence from above: "I have made up my mind, if I hear words of opposition again, I will speak of disobedience." ”
If you disobey the king, you will not be forgiven.
Everyone was embarrassed and didn't dare to say more.
The empress has always been benevolent and rarely uses capital punishment, and if it were not for the great crime of rebellion, there would never be a rebellion. But now, where is the half of what it used to be?
Isn't it that now the empress has no checks and balances on the left and has returned to her true nature?
"That's right." Zhao Xiangling said with a smile, "I think that there are no gods in the world, so there is no need to sacrifice to the heavens, and as for the money allocated by the imperial court to the new construction of the Buddhist hall every year, it can also be omitted." ”
Now, it has almost cut off the way of all believers in the southern kingdom.
Relying on the meager incense of believers, how can they support the worship of many temples? If it weren't for the court's publicity, how could there be so many believers?
Zhao Xiangling's move is not only to move the foundation.
"Your Majesty!" A minister stood up, "Please think twice, once this move goes down, I'm afraid the people will be dissatisfied." ”
Zhao Xiangling snorted coldly: "Yan Qing is old, so he will be so small, I look at the matter of this military department, or leave it to others." ”
This is the dismissal of the official.
Jun Yiyi, it can't be changed, everyone knows it, and the position where the secretary of the military department is sitting is gone.
As a result, no one is dissuaded anymore.
Zhao Xiangling saw their appearance and knew that no one dared to stop them again. Get up: "Retreat." ”
After speaking, there was still one person first, and Celadon followed her, and she could barely catch up at a trot.
As soon as she left, the ministers sighed: "The south will be in chaos, the south will be in chaos!" ”
However, he only dared to say this, and did not dare to act rashly.
After all, no one knows whether His Majesty will blame the remarks, nor does he know if anyone will tell the truth in order to seize the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Of all the ministers, only one was silent. He stood where he was, not talking to anyone about today's events, only a faint worry between his eyebrows.
After thinking about it, he withdrew from the temple, found an opportunity, and walked to the harem with a token.
When Sun Wunian arrived at the gate of Wutong Palace, half an hour had passed. He ordered someone to find celadon before he was allowed to enter the Wutong Palace.
He turned his head sideways and asked Celadon and said, "Xiang Zero has been very bad lately?" ”
Above the court, he saw the haggard in Zhao Xiangling's eyes.
Celadon said truthfully: "It's not good, Your Majesty has a very poor appetite recently, almost nothing to eat, and always vomits after eating." When there are people, she sits in a daze, and when there is no one, she just cries. ”
Hearing this, Sun Wunian's heart tightened, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Celadon continued: "I'm just afraid that if Your Majesty continues to be stuffy like this, sooner or later she will be stuffy, but it's a pity that she doesn't even have a thought, which is very difficult to do." ”
In the blink of an eye, Sun Wunian had an idea in his heart. He said: "I have a way to do this, you can do it quietly according to others." ”
whispered a few words beside Celadon, Celadon was shocked: "I'm afraid this matter can't be ......"
"No problem." Sun Wunian said, "You can't keep watching her so depressed, you have to have a reason to cheer up." ”
Celadon thought for a moment and sighed: "It has to be like this." ”
She said again: "But Your Majesty hasn't seen a doctor for a long time, I'm afraid this matter ......."
"Just leave it to me." Sun Wunian said, "You go and do it, if there is something, I will take it all in." ”
"Then you go first, I'll go to the hospital in person." Celadon nodded, bowed to Sun Wunian and left.
Sun Wunian took the little servant and drove into the main courtyard of Wutong Palace.
Looking at the usual furnishings, he couldn't help but sigh that the world is impermanent. He has always admired Li Ruiqing, and aside from others, Li Ruiqing is indeed a very good person.
His relationship with Li Ruiqing is not very good, but he can barely be regarded as a friendship. Hearing that he had an accident in the frontier, Sun Wunian was also quite uncomfortable in his heart.
But he knew that Zhao Xiangling was even more uncomfortable.
Now that he has a family, he can't be around Zhao Xiangling as before, and the two of them always have to avoid some suspicion, so he let Chen Zihan enter the palace, which can be regarded as taking his place to see her.
Who would have thought that her state would be so bad.
Sun Wunian thought about it and saw Zhao Xiangling on a pear blossom tree.
She was lying in the treetops, dressed in plain clothes, and was raising her glass and drinking. Crumbling, like a pear blossom, about to blow away, but it has not fallen for a long time.
Seeing that her fingers paused slightly, as if she noticed someone, she tilted her head and was about to look back, when her feet were unstable and she fell.
Sun Wunian walked a few steps quickly, and said in a lost voice: "To zero!" ”
He rushed to catch Zhao Xiangling, and almost didn't roll to the ground with her.
