Chapter 326: Quarreling with the Little Empress
Wu Mingkong was still reviewing the chapters, as if he hadn't heard them, and he hadn't even blinked his eyes.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu understood in her heart that she was sulking because of this matter.
"The minister's failure to invite His Majesty to participate in the Council of Ministers is due to the consideration of the ministers, and besides, His Majesty is a king, so how can he participate in the meeting of the ministers."
Wu Mingkong still regarded Fang Xiu as air, looking like he only read the books of sages and sages, and his ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window.
It's just that what she is holding in her hand is not a book of sages, but a chapter sent from the Central Book Province.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at the door and said in a surprised voice: "Li Yingyue, why is she here?" β
As soon as the words fell.
I saw the little empress poking her little head out of the door.
This time.
Fang Xiu reached out and planned to hold her in his arms.
Wu Mingkong sensed Fang Xiu's intentions and began to struggle again.
"Your Majesty, she's watching from the outside."
There is no doubt that this she is referring to the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Xiu's Zhengyin wife Li Yingyue.
Moment.
Wu Mingkong stopped struggling, and fell into Fang Xiu's arms, making a glue-like gesture.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled at the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't hold back before he laughed.
Wu Mingkong snuggled in Fang Xiu's arms for a while before he realized that there was no one outside the hall.
Turning his head to look at Fang Xiu, seeing his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he instantly understood what was going on.
The delicate face showed a look of annoyance, and he gritted his teeth and spit out his name: "Fang Xiu! β
"The minister is here."
Fang Xiu's face did not change his color.
"Are you interesting?"
Wu Mingkong's face flushed with anger.
Fang Xiu pretended to be puzzled and said, "The minister doesn't understand what His Majesty is talking about. β
Wu Mingkong glared at him, and said angrily: "You are guilty of deceiving the king, and you should be beheaded according to the law!" β
Fang Xiu said: "The minister did see Li Yingyue just now. β
"What about her?"
Wu Mingkong asked loudly.
Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and said with a serious face: "Maybe the minister is wrong." β
"You!"
Wu Mingkong couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his slender fingers, and pinched his waist fiercely.
Fang Xiu didn't dodge either, letting her reach out and pinch her waist, grinning in pain.
"Shhhh
Although the little empress knew that he was pretending to be in pain on purpose, she still couldn't bear to exert any more force, and gently beat his chest, and returned to the state just now.
Sitting on the dragon chair, reviewing the movement in front of him, his eyes did not squint, and he said angrily:
"I'm not like you, I only need to deal with a few things every day, and I still have dozens of cantata here, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
"Your Majesty is worthy of a generation of Ming monarchs, and he is so diligent in his administration, which is really admirable to the ministers."
Fang Xiu said, stood up, walked to the little empress, picked up the piece on the table, and said while reading: "Your Majesty will give the minister a pen, and the minister will help Your Majesty approve it." β
Seeing this, Wu Mingkong's beautiful face showed a faint flush, and he was angry.
"Do you still have this Son of Heaven in your eyes! Do you know what kind of crime you should be guilty of being rude in front of you? β
The crisp and pleasant voice carried some anger.
Fang Xiu listened, but his expression did not change in the slightest.
I got along with the little empress day and night for two or three years.
There is no one in the world who knows the little empress better than him.
If she was really angry, she would never speak in that tone.
At this time, he was still putting out the emperor's score, but he was still angry about the affairs of the Council of Ministers.
"The minister really doesn't know, whether His Majesty can answer for the minister."
Fang Xiu looked skinless and faceless, approached the little empress, and said so.
Seeing that his dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, the little empress didn't know how to deal with him for a while, gritted her teeth, and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to enter the Heart Cultivation Hall without my permission!" β
In other words, he was not allowed to climb the dragon couch again.
No doubt.
Among the threats of the little empress, this one is quite effective.
After all.
Today's Fang Xiu, more than half of the month, rests in the Heart Cultivation Hall at night.
Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds and said, "Since this is the case, the minister can only wait for the Weiyang Palace to be completed and live in the Weiyang Palace." β
Weiyang Palace is a newly built palace outside Chang'an City with the special approval of the little empress.
It was used as the dormitory of the empress of the Zhou State in the Qianguo.
The scale is not grand, but it is exquisite.
"You dare!"
Wu Mingkong glared at Fang Xiu, his silver teeth clenched.
It's really a little.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu hurriedly changed his words: "The minister is just joking, the minister was kicked out of the palace by His Majesty, even if he sleeps on the street, under the cowshed, or in the pigsty, he will not go to Weiyang Palace to rest." β
When Wu Mingkong heard this, his face softened a little, he pursed his lips, and said angrily: "You can't believe a word of your words!" β
Fang Xiudao: "What the minister said to His Majesty was all heartfelt words, and none of them were."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the little empress.
"Then you can sleep in the pigsty tonight!"
β.β
Fang Xiu was speechless for a while, but he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, the little empress rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I know." β
Seeing this, Fang Xiu gritted his teeth, looked determined, and said: "Sleep in the pigsty, sleep in the pigsty, the minister wants His Majesty to know what is called a promise and a thousand gold!" β
Wu Mingkong turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "If you really dare to sleep in the pigsty, I will accompany you!" β
Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty's golden mouth, you can't regret what you say." β
Wu Mingkong glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid that after some people say it, they will break their promises and run back to the house to sleep, and the next day they will sprinkle straw on their bodies, saying that they slept in the pigsty last night." β
Fang Xiu said: "Tonight, the minister will take His Majesty to find a clean pigsty, and when the time comes, see if the minister does not dare to sleep, or His Majesty does not dare." β
Side.
Lin Wan'er saw the two bickering, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she was speechless for a while.
I thought in my heart that the dignified Empress and the Prime Minister would quarrel like a child, and the content was so naΓ―ve, I was afraid that I would be laughed at if I said it.
Again.
What kind of grudge do the pigs have with you, and you two have to fight with the place where the pigs sleep?
The other side.
Fang Xiu and the little empress looked at each other for a while, and they also felt that what they had just said was very ridiculous, and they couldn't help but laugh a little.
Finally, in the next second, the two laughed out loud.
"The dignified prime minister, grab a place to sleep with the pigs, and you really have you."
Wu Mingkong straightened his hair and said.
Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, as a dignified emperor, is not angry with his ministers because of some trivial matters. β
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he pursed his lips and said angrily: "It's not a trivial matter, you know it in your own heart." β
Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and said: "The minister founded the Great Cadre and the Great Zhou Council of Ministers, there is a very important purpose, that is, to eliminate the differences between the Great Cadre and the Great Zhou, if Your Majesty is also involved, it will lose the original significance. β
Wu Mingkong said: "It's just an excuse." β
Fang Xiu was powerless to refute.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Mingkong put down the piece in his hand, sighed leisurely, and said to himself: "If you don't let me participate, I won't participate, in addition, what else can I do, before the Council of Ministers, I was a puppet erected by you, and after the Council of Ministers, I am still a puppet erected by you, and in the end, there is no change." β
A good move is to retreat as advance.
Fang Xiu silently replied in his heart.
Let's be honest.
Li Yingyue said that he was a puppet who was set up by Fang Xiu, and Fang Xiu couldn't refute it, because it was true.
But when Wu Mingkong said this, it was completely slanderous by the other party.
Although the Qianguo court was controlled by the Fang Party, in fact, there were still a considerable number of people who were loyal to the little empress.
Even after referring to the deer as a horse, the words and decisions made by the little empress still have a certain weight in the court.
It is no exaggeration to say.
If the little empress is fighting with Fang Xiu endlessly, she has the ability to pose a certain threat to Fang Xiu's status.
Although the threat is not great, it is by no means an empty puppet as she said.
And that's exactly what happened.
Before Fang Xiu did something, he had to consult with the little empress.
Both of them decided that after they wanted to do something, they would send someone to do it.
"Your Majesty's words are tormenting the minister."
Fang Xiu looked at the little empress and said with a serious face: "The minister did not invite His Majesty to participate in the discussion of the Council of Ministers, it is indeed out of consideration for the balance between the two courts.
However, if Your Majesty really wants to participate, the minister will never stop him, after all, although the minister is the regent of the Great Zhou, but above the status of regent, the more important thing is the prime minister of Daqian, who is His Majesty's courtier. β
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you really think so?" β
Fang Xiu nodded, and said solemnly: "It's true." β
Wu Mingkong saw that he didn't seem to be coaxing himself, thought for a few seconds, and said:
"I understand your concerns, although the Council of Ministers is led by my ministers, but there are ministers from both countries, and it is quite balanced, if I am also involved, and the Great Zhou royal family has no participation, it will inevitably be realized, and it will not be conducive to the alliance between the two countries.
In this case, in the future, in addition to the meeting of ministers for the parliament, let Li Yingyue also observe. β
Fang Xiu obviously didn't expect the little empress to let Li Yinyue also participate, and his expression was a little surprised.
Wu Mingkong noticed Fang Xiu's expression and said, "Why are you looking at me with such eyes? β
Fang Xiu said with a serious face: "The minister suddenly found that Your Majesty is much better looking than before, she used to be the first beauty in the world, and now she is the first beauty in the world." β
The sudden praise made the little empress slightly stunned.
Immediately, a flush appeared on her pretty face, and she urged angrily.
"Phew! You are still a big prime minister, and the oil cavity is slippery, what kind of system has you become. β
[Mood +3000]
It's obviously very useful, and I'm very happy in my heart, but on the surface, I pretend not to care.
Bear two faces under one hood.
Scold. Woman.
Fang Xiu has always been stingy in his praise of the little empress, striking while the iron is hot, praising her two more sentences, and the corners of her mouth are hooked.
A moment later.
The little empress finally stopped being angry with him and asked, "Why did you come to me?" β
When Fang Xiu was on duty during the day, he rarely came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
This time it came suddenly, there must be something to do.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the minister plans to go to the medical school, invite His Majesty to go with him, take a look at the scenery on the way, take a break, and by the way, tell His Majesty what was discussed at the meeting of the Ministers." Fang Xiudao.
Wu Mingkong listened, thought for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "Okay, when I finish reviewing these chapters, I'll go with you." β
Fang Xiu said: "If it doesn't matter, it's the same if it is handed over to Zhongshu Province." β
Wu Mingkong shook his head lightly, and said with a serious face: "Since these pieces have been sent to me, I have to read them one by one, if everything is handed over to the Zhongshu Province, to the six ministries, and to the Council of Ministers, what is the point of me as the emperor?" β
Fang Xiu said in his heart: Of course, he is the mascot of the Great Qian Empire, and when he encounters natural and man-made disasters, he stands up and reads the edict to calm people's hearts.
I thought so, but I didn't say that.
Because he knew that the Great Qian Empire had not yet reached the point when it did not need an emperor.
Today's little empress is not at all prepared not to be an emperor with actual power.
"What Your Majesty teaches is that the minister is superficial, the minister makes tea for His Majesty, and His Majesty slowly reviews it."
Fang Xiu said this, picked up the teacup, and drank the rest of the milk tea.
Then he handed the teacup to Lin Wan'er on the side, raised his eyebrows and said: "This milk tea tastes good, go make another one, add a little dried osmanthus, Your Majesty likes it." β
β.β
Lin Wan'er was speechless for a while, but she still reached out and took the teacup.
The little empress rolled her eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to review the chapters.
Half an hour later.
Outside the city of Chang'an.
Cement built on a new official road.
An unpretentious carriage drove along.
There are dozens of guards on both sides, all wearing cotton clothes, looking unremarkable, but they are actually the elite of the shadow guards.
In the carriage.
Fang Xiu roughly recounted the content of the previous meeting of the Ministers of Parliament.
After hearing this, the little empress frowned slightly and fell silent.
After a moment, she asked, "The plague called smallpox is so terrible, are you sure to stop it from spreading to my great gan?" β
Fang Xiu said: "The minister will send a capable general to do this to ensure that nothing goes wrong." β
The little empress raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to turn white?" β
Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "Bai Qi still wants to sit in Jinnan, without him in the Zhou Kingdom, the minister can't feel at ease." β
"That Qi Jiguang?"
The little empress asked again.
Fang Xiu shook his head again.
The little empress was curious at this moment, and while thinking, she said, "Then who else can you have your right-hand man?" β
Fang Xiu slowly spit out a name: "Gao Shun." β
Gao Shun?
The little empress was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and then remembered that she was a general in command of the Xuanjia cavalry, and compared with Bai Qi and Qi Jiguang, it was really a bit mediocre.
"To do this well, you don't need to have too good ability, as long as you can strictly abide by the orders of the minister, let Gao Shun do this, it is more than enough!"
Fang Xiu explained.
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he sighed: "You always trust the people under you so much. β
The so-called subordinates.
In fact, it is a person who came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
That is, the person whom Fang Xiu summoned from the system.
Fang Xiu was silent, noncommittal.
This time.
The little empress asked again: "Can the smallpox vaccine you mentioned be developed?" β
Fang Xiu opened his mouth, and just as he was about to answer, he heard a commotion outside.
It seems that someone is arguing
