Chapter 4: The Young Prince is Back
Liu Yunqing was already overwhelmed, but she didn't want to sleep.
"If you can't let Your Majesty enjoy yourself, it's the incompetence of the concubines."
Zhao Xuan chuckled, "No, tonight only belongs to you and me, I am also tired, and I also need to rest." ”
Zhao Xuan's words made Liu Yunqing giggle.
Obviously, for her, it was a very happy thing.
After laughing, the topic returned to the matter after the abolition, Liu Yunqing was full of worry and said, "Your Majesty, the people's grievances have been around for a long time, and the folk rumors are that the concubines are the source of the trouble, not just talking, now the floods and plagues are rampant in the south, and the Huns are rampant in the north, and they have repeatedly violated our borders. ”
However, Zhao Xuan's next reaction was once again beyond Liu Yunqing's expectations, he was not angry, nor impatient, nor did he hit her, but promised, "Qing'er, don't worry, I will handle all this well, and Qing'er will not be burdened with the infamy of causing trouble in the world!" ”
When Liu Yunqing heard this, she had mixed feelings for a while, and His Majesty had really changed.
She seemed to be back in that spring afternoon, the young prince who appeared outside the temple on a white horse and galloped the world with her, and he seemed to have really returned.
The next morning, Zhao Xuan reluctantly left the dormitory and appeared in the Qinzheng Palace under the service of the queen.
If it weren't for last night, he promised Liu Yunqing to handle the government well, he would have wanted to experience the daily life of a faint monarch who would not be in court from now on.
Sitting on the throne of Jinluan, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, looking at the crowded civil and military officials in the audience, Zhao Xuan was like a world away.
Finally, under the reminder of the personal eunuch Feng Guang, Zhao Xuan came back to his senses and cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, play early if you have something, and retreat from the court if you have nothing to do." ”
The delicate and charming queen of the harem is still waiting for him to be lucky, how can there be so much effort to accompany these old guys in a daze.
At this moment, Huang Maocai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward to participate, "Your Majesty, the flood and plague are prevalent in the south, the people are struggling to make a living, and there are many empty cities in the south of the Yangtze River, so I ask Your Majesty to provide disaster relief as soon as possible." ”
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Taiheng was the first to scold, "Huang Maocai, don't be alarmist, my Great Liang Dynasty is vast, and the floods in the south are just a state. ”
At this time, Prime Minister Li Mingpu also reprimanded, "Huang Maocai, exaggerated, disregarding the grace of God, Your Majesty has allocated funds for disaster relief, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, recuperate, where is the flood plague, Your Majesty, the ministers ask to play, drag Huang Maocai out of the staff and forty sticks, in order to set an example." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan was dumbfounded.
The southern floods are plagued, he is naturally clear.
Because the queen had reminded him many times last night to deal with it properly, as a result, Zhang Taiheng and Prime Minister Li Mingpu began to sing double reeds, singing and harmonizing, trying to deceive him.
His heart can be punished, and the purpose is to make him lose the support of the people.
Zhang Taiheng is forgotten, especially the prime minister Li Mingpu is also with Zhang Taiheng, the head of the hundred officials is actually in the same camp as the Zhang family, the dynasty is so chaotic, sure enough, the Zhang family is uneasy and kind.
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was indifferent, Huang Maocai was full of despair, the dynasty was corrupted to this point, and His Majesty was deceived like this, it was useless for him to say more.
Because, in this case, generally speaking, His Majesty will listen to the opinions of Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu.
Huang Maocai had long been ready to be beaten, but he still insisted on his own point of view, "Your Majesty, the lives of the people in the world have been ruined, and the treasury has been empty since then. ”
"Someone came, Huang Maocai bewitched the crowd, dragged him out, and beheaded him." At this time, Zhang Taiheng couldn't help it, because Huang Mao was aiming at him, and he even said that the treasury was seriously in deficit, didn't it mean that he was incompetent?
Naturally, it is necessary to chop.
However, what surprised him was that Zhao Xuan did not listen to his opinion, but directly scolded back, "I will kill and behead at every turn, am I the emperor, or are you the emperor?" Is this throne for you to sit on! ”
At this moment, Zhao Xuan's voice was not as perfunctory as usual, only angry and indifferent.
"Your Majesty, by all means."
A group of ministers watching the play, seeing that Zhao Xuan was so sharp, did not give Zhang Taiheng face, and even proposed to give the throne, and in an instant, knelt down.
All of a sudden, the hall was very lively.
Zhang Taihang and Li Mingpu were also confused by this scene.
Is Zhao Xuan crazy?
After a serious illness, His Majesty the Emperor in front of him acted more and more unscrupulously and did whatever he wanted.
Even, some are out of control.
What shocked the two of them even more was still to come.
After the Manchu officials knelt down one after another, seeing that they didn't kneel, Zhao Xuan had a cold face, "What, Zhang Shangshu and Prime Minister Li both want to sit on my throne, don't they?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention."
"Your Majesty, this is to torment the old minister."
The two hurriedly denied it.
Zhao Xuan snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, why don't you kneel." ”
Before the two of them knelt down, Zhao Xuan began to shout, "Come on, Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu have no king, so they dragged them out with a stick and forty sticks to set an example." ”
This scene made the two stunned.
However, the guards outside the main hall didn't give them time to react at all, and entered the main hall one after another to drag people.
Then, the sound of two people shouting and screaming could be heard.
Soon, outside the main hall, there were screams of the two people, one after another, tearing endlessly.
At this moment, the officials in the main hall looked at each other.
Someone said, "Your Majesty, by all means. ”
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shangshu and Prime Minister Li are both ministers, and they have no two hearts."
Hearing everyone's persuasion, Zhao Xuan snorted coldly, "Okay, if you think they are wronged, go and help them share their worries yourself, I will never stop them, and they will all be treated equally." ”
Looking at the joke, looking at the scarlet eyes, and about to kill Zhao Xuan, who was about to kill the head of the household department and the prime minister of the dynasty on the spot, everyone was silent, where did they dare to touch this moldy head.
None of you are stupid.
Everyone knows that these two people are talking nonsense with their eyes open and deceiving Zhao Xuan.
The floods in the south have been breaking out for several months, and the imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief many times, and the more relief the disaster, the more serious it becomes.
Three points of natural disasters and seven points of man-made disasters.
The hundred officials succumbed to the obscenity of Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
After all, according to the usual practice, His Majesty would listen to the advice of these two.
I didn't expect that this time, after His Majesty recovered from a serious illness, his temperament changed drastically, and he began to deny his six relatives?
Could it be that Your Majesty has begun to observe the people's feelings?
As soon as he thought of this, the wall-riding faction, which had been wavering, began to waver in his desire to join the prime minister of the Zhang family.
At this moment, the ministers of the DPRK and China, who had no hope for the emperor's mediocrity, were overjoyed and began to suggest one after another.
"Your Majesty is aware of it, Huang Shilang, what you have done is not a lie, the floods and plagues are rampant in the south, I hope Your Majesty will pay more attention to it."
