Chapter 5: Political Marriages

The princes and ministers disdain to stammer, and the stammering Wang Zhen are all people who tend to be inflammatory, and the rest are only the unworthy and useless middle-of-the-road and loyal ministers who are not appreciated.

It hasn't lasted to fifty sticks yet.

Wang Zhen, whose back was blurred with flesh and blood, was silent.

I don't know if it's dead or alive.

The guard squatted down, probed Wang Zhen's snort with his hand, and reported to Song Que: "Your Majesty, he passed out." ”

"How many sticks are left?" Song Que asked.

"There are already fifty out of thirty rods, and fifteen rods are still missing." The guard replied truthfully.

"Let's make a note for now." Song Que waved his hand at the guards and motioned for the guards to drag the unconscious Wang Zhen out of the court and send him to prison.

This move.

But it surprised many ministers.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair in front of him regards human life as a mustard, and the world knows it, and now, the fifty-stick punishment has not been completed, but the guards are suspended?

In the hearts of many ministers.

There was almost a big doubt.

That's...

In front of everyone, the staff scolded the eunuch who had been trusted for many years, and also sent him to prison, what tricks was the emperor playing?

The Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs were puzzled.

And some of the brains are more Lingguang Cong, and the minister faintly feels it.

The more carefully the emperor pondered this move, the more he felt like he was making an example of the monkey.

But on second thought.

They quickly dismissed their conjectures.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair had a violent personality, he was less than twenty years old, and he was a concubine, and when the first emperor was in power, he never trained him as a successor.

How could he have such an eight-sided mind?

Went down.

Song Que directly ordered the eunuch to go to the cabinet and take the fold, and he had to personally review the fold.

Wants to take off the tyrant's hat.

Become a Ming Jun.

It is necessary to be diligent in government affairs.

The fold is the document submitted by officials from all over the country to the imperial court, and the content in the fold is what happens in the world.

Song Que must know the major events in the world through the review and review.

When the eunuch conveyed Song Que's message to the cabinet, the cabinet ministers were all shocked.

This brutal emperor staged a 'killing of chickens and monkeys' in the court today, and now he has to personally review the recital, which is difficult not to give birth to infinite reverie.

"Lord Huo, the emperor wants to review the fold, how is this good?"

A middle-aged cabinet official looked at the gray-haired old man, looked worried, and asked.

The old man's name is Huo Lei, who is the first assistant of the current cabinet, and is also a first-class Taifu, ranking one of the three princes, with a transcendent status, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person.

Not only that, Horay's protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the court and the opposition, and he was also one of the ministers of the first emperor.

After pondering for a moment, Huo Lei said, "Send the recital that the cabinet has approved before to the emperor." ”

The Imperial Study.

Several eunuchs walked into the imperial study with thick folds.

Soon, on the dragon case in front of Song Que, there was a thick pile of twists and turns.

It's like a hill.

took down a copy of the fold and read it carefully, Song Que frowned slightly, and finally picked up the pen, made a review, and wrote the four big characters "I know" under the fold.

As he reviewed and reviewed each piece of music.

The sky outside the temple also gradually darkened.

Night.

The eunuch who was in charge of Song's diet asked the imperial dining room to make high-quality dishes and send them to the imperial dining room.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The eunuch in charge of the meal slowly walked up to Song Que and reminded in a low voice.

Song Que had already dealt with most of it, and when he heard the eunuch reminding him to eat, Song Que stood up, stretched his muscles, stretched his waist, and walked towards the dining table next to him.

On the table, there are all kinds of delicacies.

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Song Que said to the eunuch in charge of the meal: "In the future, you can make a few small dishes for dinner, so you don't have to be so extravagant and wasteful." ”

Hearing that the dinner was going to be improved, the eunuch in charge of the meal was a little panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is according to the rules you set before, eighteen plates of mountain delicacies and eighteen plates of seafood. ”

Song Que glared at the eunuch in charge of the meal, and scolded: "Can't the rules be changed? In the future, meals should be frugal, not extravagant and wasteful! ”

In fact, Song Que knew very well why the eunuch in charge of the meal was so nervous.

There is no more than one reason.

The frugality of meals has damaged his interests.

You must know that the emperor is the lord of the world, whether it is food or clothing, everything is unique and the most expensive.

The eunuchs were in charge of the emperor's meals.

The procurement of ingredients is naturally under his management.

Song lacked the sentence 'eat thrifty', so there was no way for the eunuch in charge of the meal to benefit from it.

Finish eating.

A lean middle-aged eunuch walked in with a tray.

"Your Majesty, it's time to turn the plates."

As he spoke, the lean middle-aged eunuch respectfully handed the push plate in his hand to Song Que, and there were several brands made of jade on the plate.

And on the brand, the names of the harem concubines are engraved.

Of course, the jade plaque is covered.

Flip to whom.

Whoever will serve the bed.

Song Que pushed away the tray handed by the middle-aged eunuch and said, "No need, let's let Concubine Lan sleep tonight." ”

"This..."

The middle-aged eunuch looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Song Que frowned: "What?" Do you still have to decide who I want to sleep? ”

"The minion didn't mean that." The middle-aged eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "I'm afraid Concubine Lan won't be able to sleep with the emperor tonight." ”

"Why?" Song Que looked puzzled.

"Concubine Lan was called to Cining Hall by the queen." The middle-aged eunuch said truthfully.

Empress?

Song Que had a lot of memory information about the queen in his mind.

The queen's name is Huo Ling, and she is the first assistant to the cabinet of the current dynasty and the granddaughter of Taifu Huo Lei.

Three years ago, the original owner was put on the throne by three powerful ministers and became the emperor of the Great Qianguo, and Huo Lei, as one of the powerful ministers, married his granddaughter Huo Ling into the palace as soon as possible and became the wife of the original owner.

That's it.

Huo Ling became the queen.

And because of this political marriage, the Huo family's prestige reached its peak.

"Go to Cining Temple!"

Song Que had a premonition that it was not good, because according to the information of the original owner, Queen Huo Ling had not been favored by the original owner over the years, and her personality was becoming more and more domineering.

And Concubine Lan Xu Jin'er was called by Queen Huo Ling.

That must be more than lucky.

Leaving the imperial study, Song Que took the golden chariot to the Cining Palace, where the queen lived.

Come to the Cining Temple.

Before Song Que could go in, he heard a miserable cry coming from inside.

The sound is familiar.

It's Concubine Lan's Xu Jin'er.

Song Que raised his foot, violently kicked the door of Cining Hall open, and then walked into Cining Hall quickly.

Inside the temple.

A richly dressed young woman sat upright on a chair, and in front of her, several old women were holding leather whips and beating a woman with them.

The woman who was beaten was Xu Jin'er, who slept last night.

And the young woman sitting on the chair, richly dressed, with a look of good show on her face.

It's Huo Ling.

The granddaughter of Huo Lei, one of the powerful ministers of the dynasty, is also the queen of the dynasty.

"Stop!"

When Song Que saw this situation, he immediately reprimanded.
