Chapter 087: Harem Deliberations
Sima Hongyan said it so bluntly, and it was difficult for the ministers to answer, but that attitude was obviously acquiescence.
Sima Hongyan sneered and said, "If all the adults imagine others to be so unbearable, I really don't know how dark your hearts are? According to what the adults said, then I'm afraid there will be no women in the harem, as long as it's a woman, it's possible to seduce the prince? β
The minister who spoke just now said, "How can Miss Sima and the harem girl be compared? The women who can enter the harem are either royal ladies or servants, and their identities and origins are innocent, and they will not do anything out of the ordinary. But Sima Shen Ling, it's hard to say! β
Sima Hongyan was furious when he heard this, this person actually scolded himself for misbehavior and bad reputation!
If this is gossip said by ordinary idlers, Sima Hongyan really shouldn't take it seriously, but now that he is above the court, he is being told in public, and in front of the emperor, how can he not be angry when he insults him?
Sima Hongyan's reputation was damaged back then, and he was ordered to withdraw from the marriage, but the person who issued the decree was Emperor Yanzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace today.
In fact, when a smart person thought about that little thing before, he knew that someone was deliberately framing Sima Hongyan at that time, and everyone else understood, how could Emperor Yanzhen not understand? The reason why Yanzhen is biased towards Sima Hongyan is that Sima Hongyan does have extraordinary talents, and secondly, she is sorry for the past.
Today's minister openly humiliated Sima Hongyan, but secretly piggybacked on the emperor.
So Sima Hongyan hasn't had a seizure yet, and Emperor Yanzhen is angry first!
He slapped the book case and shouted: "Wu Yizhong, you are so bold!" β
As soon as the emperor drank it, this Wu Yizhong immediately came to his senses, and was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his head, and he quickly knelt down, kowtowed like pounding onions, and shouted again and again: "The minister knows his mistake!" Please forgive the emperor, the emperor forgive the sin! β
Yan Zhen said: "The court is such a place, how can you be allowed to speak foul words? Someone! Drag it down, scold it for twenty years, blast out of the capital, dismiss the officials for the people, and never reuse it for life! β
This punishment can be said to be almost enough to kill his head, Wu Yizhong was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, kept kowtowing, and begged for mercy.
The warriors in the palace didn't care about anything else, the emperor ordered without hesitation, and pulled up Wu Yizhong, who was trembling, and dragged him out.
Sima Hongyan saw that Emperor Yanzhen was really angry, and he was secretly grateful in his heart, and most of his anger disappeared.
Emperor Yanzhen was not angry at this time, and he didn't stop doing anything, called the eunuchs who accompanied him, and said: "Take Sima Shen to the harem and wait, and play to me alone after the morning court!" β
At this moment, the emperor was angry, who dared to say more, the eunuch received the order, and took Sima Hongyan to the harem.
Following the eunuch who led the way, through the cascading courtyards and the guards of countless warriors, the attendant eunuch led Sima Hongyan to a room that looked like a study. motioned to Sima Hongyan to sit casually, and arranged for the palace maid to serve tea and wait on the side, before turning around and going out.
Except for the two palace maids in the house, only Sima Hongyan was left, and she dared to look at the layout in the room.
A royal palace is a royal palace! This kind of opulent, noble and graceful decoration and atmosphere is really not easy to create, and everything in the house can be said to be unique and rare.
No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, not to mention the supreme power, even this rich and luxurious life is desirable enough.
Looking at the white smoke from the incense lit on the table, Sima Hongyan sighed with emotion in his heart: This is the place where people live!
I don't know how long I waited, Sima Hongyan felt that someone was filming him. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw that Emperor Yanzhen was looking at her with a smile.
Suddenly, I woke up and was waiting for the emperor in the harem, but I didn't expect to fall asleep unconsciously!
Sima Hongyan hurriedly apologized, and said very embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, it's warm and comfortable here, I fell asleep unconsciously!" β
Emperor Yanzhen laughed and said, "If you dare to sleep in my study, you can be regarded as the first person." It's okay, I don't blame you! β
After Emperor Yanzhen sat down on the bookcase, Sima Hongyan handed over his plan.
Yan Zhen looked very carefully, read the entire planning book, and said, "Not bad! Very detailed, and the details are also clearly remarked, very good! What do you do next? β
Sima Hongyan said: "The courtiers have a few things that need the emperor's help to implement. β
Yan Zhen said: "Let's hear it!" β
Sima Hongyan said: "First of all, we need a camp to resettle the recruited female soldiers. β
Yan Zhen thought for a while and said, "I have already thought about this, the east of the city where you live is relatively desolate, and there are not many people living there, I will arrange for them to be relocated elsewhere, and those old houses will be demolished and used as camps for you, what do you think?" β
Sima Hongyan said happily: "The emperor's idea is too suitable, and the courtiers have no opinion." β
Yan Zhen said: "What else?" β
Sima Hongyan said: "There are also three helpers for the courtiers, and they want to ask the emperor to give them a position so that they can act in the future." Then reported the names of Ban Lingruo, Shi Jinyan, and Zhong Liying, and briefly explained their skills.
Emperor Yanzhen said: "You have arranged this matter yourself, since it is handed over to you, you think it is okay, I will give you the approval." β
Sima Hongyan said again: "Another important thing is that I have no money!" There is no food either! β
Emperor Yanzhen said with a smile: "This is easy, if you need anything, go to the quartermaster department to get it, Yan Hong is in charge there, and he will arrange it for you." β
After nearly an hour, Sima Hongyan finished saying everything. When he was about to leave after receiving the harem pass token, he was suddenly stopped by Emperor Yanzhen.
Emperor Yanzhen said: "Tomorrow, you come to the palace and follow me to meet the Queen Mother." You've been delaying this for a long time! β
Sima Hongyan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was such a thing.
She frowned and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, what does the Queen Mother want to see me for?" I haven't offended her old man, and when she suddenly summons me, I really don't know the bottom of my heart. β
Emperor Yanzhen smiled: "Don't ask me about this, because I don't know!" β
When Sima Hongyan came out of the palace, Yan Hong had been waiting at the gate of the imperial city for a long time.
Sima Hongyan saw him and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Yan Hong said: "Naturally, I am waiting for you, I heard about the morning today." On the first day you went to the court, an official was dismissed because of you, and you really didn't let people worry. β
Sima Hongyan said: "You really can't blame me for this, it's purely his own fault." Don't talk about this, the emperor told me today, you are in charge of the Quartermaster Department, so that I can come to you directly if I need anything in the future. β
Yan Hong said: "Of course. There's one more thing you probably don't know yet, right? When you begged the emperor to send you an instructor to teach you some rules and matters in the barracks, this person is me! β
Sima Hongyan exclaimed: "I always thought that the emperor would send me one among the generals, how could it be you?" β
Yan Hong said: "Do you think that if you really send a military attachΓ©, he will really help you?" β
Sima Hongyan thought for a while and said, "That's right! Or thoughtful as you think. β
Yan Hong looked around and said, "Okay! This is not the place to speak, but we will go to your house and speak. β
When he returned to Sima Mansion, he found Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan, and Sima Hongyan narrated today's events to them one by one. After that, several people began to plan the next step until late at night.
The next day, Sima Hongyan came to the palace again and followed Emperor Yanzhen to Jingning Palace to meet the Queen Mother.
Jingning Palace is located in the deep courtyard of the imperial city, and it took a long time to arrive.
As soon as he entered the Jingning Palace, Sima Hongyan immediately asked A strong smell of incense said, it seems that there has never been a continuous smell of incense in this room. Sima Hongyan secretly said in his heart: "Although the palace is luxurious, it is not a good thing to live for a long time without freedom. β
In order to see the Queen Mother, Sima Hongyan put on a bulky dress in desperation, and at this moment, he walked all the way according to the rules of the palace, and he was already suffering from back pain. The oath on his head is estimated to be about ten pounds, and even his neck is already sore.
Finally entered the palace and came to the Queen Mother, dragging a body of dozens of catties, Sima Hongyan kowtowed, and said: "The courtier Sima Hongyan, I have seen the Queen Mother!" β
A languid woman's voice said, "Get up! β
Sima Hongyan slowly stood up from the ground, not because she was solemn, but because she was afraid that the headdress on her head would fall off because it was too heavy.
Emperor Yanzhen had already sat next to the Queen Mother, chatting with the Queen Mother about some family life.
Sima Hongyan stood aside, didn't dare to raise his head, didn't dare to speak, and waited there quietly.
