Chapter Forty-Nine: Little Emperor Ji Xuan
The study room is not large, and the bookshelves against the wall are full of Confucian classics, and there are large potted plants on both sides.
On the other side of the window is a desk with the four treasures of the study.
There was a wild grass painting hanging on the wall behind the desk.
The dΓ©cor is simple.
But this is the emperor's study, so the bookshelf is made of 2,000-year-old sea pear wood, and the books on it are copied by the great Confucian himself.
Those potted plants are all superb spiritual objects, exuding a faint aura of armor wood.
The desk is carved with a thousand years of mahogany, the four treasures of the study are hard to find, and the wild grass on the wall is the masterpiece "Orchid Inflorescence" of the book saint Wang Zhixi three thousand years ago!
The decoration of this study room is something that ordinary people can't earn for a hundred years of hard work, or even a hundred lifetimes!
Zhang Ziyao entered the study, didn't look at these priceless things, went straight to the desk, and bowed respectfully: "Minister Zhang Ziyao has seen Your Majesty and the queen's mother." β
Behind the desk, there sat an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth, but he was thin and thin, and although he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he was still a little sickly.
This is the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Ji Xuan!
At this time, he was copying the words of the sage, and the wolf pen in his hand was caused by the softest hairs on the abdomen of the steppe wolf king, and the ink used was Jiangnan blood ink, which was hard to find.
"Flat, no courtesy." Ji Xuan said without raising his head.
On the left side of the little emperor, there are two eunuchs, one is Zhang Xi, the chief of ceremonies, who is about thirty years old and has a white face, and the other is the little eunuch who has just led the way, with a long pink and pink face.
To the right of the little emperor, there is a beautiful tall woman, peach and plum years, she is dressed in red palace clothes, ice muscles and jade bones, wearing a golden-winged phoenix hairpin, graceful temperament, indescribably expensive, so that people can't blaspheme when they see it!
At this time, she was bowing her head to polish the ink for the little emperor, and her green silk was like a waterfall, pouring from the delicate swan neck, which was beautiful.
She is the Empress of Daqian, Qin Mengyao!
"How come Master Zhang has time to meet Your Majesty?" The queen asked as she polished her ink.
"Queen Mother, the minister has something important to do." Zhang Ziyao took out two folds, handed them to the little eunuch, and then briefly reported what happened in Tai'a County.
Although the little emperor was young, he also knew that state affairs were important, he put down the wolf's pen, listened to Zhang Ziyao's words, looked at the excerpts, and waited to understand the reason before he asked: "What does Zhang Shangshu think about this matter?" β
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the county guard and the county lieutenant of Tai'a County seem to be passing the buck to each other and incompatible, maybe just to reassure the imperial court, they may have been embarrassed and are frantically looting the treasures of Tai'a County." Zhang Ziyao said, "The inspector who died unexpectedly may have noticed the cattiness of the two of them and was killed. β
The little emperor frowned, and said angrily: "These two bastards, it's not a pity to die!" β
"Your Majesty, this is just the minister's speculation, what the truth is, we still need to send someone to investigate." Zhang Ziyao said.
"If Zhang Shangshu has any ideas, let's say them together." The little emperor showed a hint of impatience.
Zhang Ziyao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can send another inspector, who is also in the name of Qincha, to Tai'a County, and come to thoroughly investigate Qian Feng's inspection and make him die!" Second, you can collect the treasures of Tai'a County for Your Majesty, and the three can make Qin Cha divide the county guards and county lieutenants of Tai'a County, so that they can only rely on the imperial court, so that they can completely solve the matter of Tai'a County once and for all. β
"Zhang Shangshu is old and serious, and he deserves to be my minister!" The little emperor Dashan asked, "Zhang Shangshu, is there a candidate?" β
Zhang Ziyao said: "The minister thinks that it is not trivial for a county inspector to make his death, and the officials of the non-criminal department are not competent!" β
"Zhang Shangshu won't recommend Zhang Yucheng of the Criminal Department, right?" Queen Qin Mengyao suddenly spoke, and her beautiful face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Exactly." Zhang Ziyao said, "Although Zhang Langzhong is the nephew of the minister, he has always been diligent in his work, and the minister thinks that he can take on this responsibility!" β
"Zhang Shangshu really has the style of the ancients, and he is virtuous and does not avoid relatives." The queen's starry eyes are picturesque, beautiful and incomparable, and her words are also sharp.
Zhang Ziyao's face remained unchanged, and he said respectfully: "Please rest assured that the queen's mother died early, and it was the minister who brought him up, knowing his temperament, and valuing love and righteousness, now the minister is an official in the court, and the relatives and friends of Yucheng are also in the capital, not only will he not do anything wrong, but he will also share his worries wholeheartedly for His Majesty, and he will never dare to have two hearts!" β
"Zhang Shangshu is serious, I and Sister Queen, naturally trust you." The little emperor smiled, "Then let's draw up the decree." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ziyao bowed down.
After Zhang Ziyao left, the little emperor glanced at Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi was very smart, and immediately took the little eunuch out of the study and closed the door.
"Sister Queen, are you dissatisfied with Zhang Shangshu, why do you keep targeting him?" The little emperor asked.
The queen sighed and looked out the window, it was a garden, full of flowers, purple and red, but it couldn't compare to the queen's delicate and beautiful side face.
She said: "Your Majesty, this palace is not aimed at Zhang Shangshu, but ...... The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all yin and yang! β
The little emperor said with a smile: "Sister Empress is serious, including Zhang Shangshu, many ministers are ministers left by my father, even if I don't believe them, I have to believe in my father, his old man will never harm me." β
The queen said in a deep voice: "But Your Majesty, after the purple qi came from the east, the aura recovered, and the way of the world has changed greatly, in the past, what the courtiers pursued, or left a name in history, or a high-ranking official, or a high-ranking official, or a wife and a son, all these honors and disgraces are tied to Your Majesty alone, but now, what they are pursuing, I am afraid there is only one thing, that is...... Phoenix! Under this goal, what is the last life of the emperor? β
"Enough!" The little emperor was a little angry, his pale face turned red with anger, and he said quickly, "You are not allowed to slander your father!" Those ministers will never dare to betray their father! Otherwise, how could the ministers advise that all the spiritual objects of heaven and earth should be returned to the imperial court? This move has greatly stabilized the foundation of our country! β
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of blocking people's money like killing your parents?" The queen guided her step by step, "If all the spiritual things in the world really return to the imperial court, Your Majesty will block the path of immortality of the people of the world with your own body, and at that time, all the monks in the world will be separated from Your Majesty!" β
When the little emperor heard this, he smiled proudly and said: "Sister Queen, don't worry, I haven't written a law on this matter, even if other people are dissatisfied, I don't admit it, do they dare to enter the palace?" I lend them a daring! β
"If Your Majesty is so naΓ―ve again, the world will be in chaos, and disintegration is just around the corner!" The queen accentuated.
"My Daqian has been founding the country for 500 years, and after going through ups and downs, I can still keep the country and the people safe, thanks to the unity of the monarch and the ministers. The little emperor smiled and said, "Sister Queen, I can't let others hear this, otherwise I will definitely have to refer to you." β
The queen still wanted to argue, but at this time, a eunuch came to report, and the Ministry of Rites asked to see her.
