Chapter 10 Tighten your belts and play the clown on stage
The door to the study was closed.
There were only two people in the huge hall.
Gu Xiangzhu stood quietly, his expression was cold, and his tone did not flatter the other concubines, and he did not have the slightest politeness to Zhao Huan, the emperor.
Her attitude is the same as that of others.
It's as if Zhao Huan is not an emperor.
Zhao Huan was not half displeased, but said with a serious face: "Concubine Ai should know!" Ci'er is the son of Lone, and he is the son of the only sister of the Marquis of Zhonglie. If it weren't for the strict ancestral system of Dayu, I would like to give him the best things!
All he wants is to open a mansion, and any royal child is qualified to open a mansion! If you sit in a lonely position, how can you refuse? ”
"Oh?"
Gu Xiangzhu's cold voice carried a hint of mockery: "You attach so much importance to this son, how did you make up your mind to draw his blood marrow?" ”
The painful look flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes: "For the sake of Dayu, there is no choice!" What he owes him will be compensated in the future. The Dirty Secret Book is provided by your teaching, so why be sarcastic? ”
Gu Xiangzhu didn't continue to refute, just looked at him quietly for a while, and she couldn't figure out what Zhao Huan really thought in her heart.
But she knew that because of Zhao Huan, her movements in Linge were greatly restricted.
Seventeen years ago.
That is, when Zhao Ci was born, the real Jing Concubine Xiang Xiaoling died of dystocia.
It was at that time that the Demon Sect reached a deal with Zhao Huan, exchanging the "Dirty Secret Codex", a method of prolonging life and even longevity, in exchange for a place in the development of Linge.
She stepped forward to replace Xiang Xiaoling's identity and inherited Jing Chu Xiang's and Xiang Tiange's connections in Linge.
Even if the Xiang family has almost no property in Linge, Xiang Tiange's lineage was almost completely wiped out in the war eighteen years ago.
This identity still provided her with a lot of convenience, and with the emperor's delegation of power, she alone expanded the wealth of the Demon Sect several times.
Can be recent.
The expansion is not moving.
Because there are more and more rumors about Zhao Huan's intention to change the resignation of Chu Zhao.
Even if anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is impossible, it will still affect Zhao Huan to give her power, not only will the delegation of power be tightened, but the unknown resistance to her business will also become a lot stronger.
That's why she desperately hopes that Zhao will quit the domain.
As a result, not only did he not settle the domain, but he also opened the mansion!
Worse!
"I don't care how you want to pamper Zhao Ci, but what you promise must be done!"
Gu Xiangzhu said in a deep voice: "You have also experienced the effect of changing the dirty secret codex, but just changing the dirty secret book can only prolong life, not live forever."
The double cultivation after the completion of the dirty secret book is the key, and only I know the secret method of double cultivation, and I am the only one who meets the physique.
You are the Wuxian Emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, who has the best hope of recovering the old land, and you should know best what to choose. ”
Zhao Huan was not angry at all, but smiled gently: "Concubine Ai is also a saintess who carries the wealth of the Demon Sect with her own strength, and she should know very well that Gu is the only collaborator for you."
Because of resignation, there are a lot of people staring at you in recent days, and it is a little difficult to delegate power to you.
But you can rest assured, as long as this Gongdan Conference is successful, what the concubine wants, Lone will give it! ”
"You'd better be!"
Gu Xiangzhu's expression slowed slightly, and then with a flick of his sleeves, the door of the imperial study opened.
At the moment when the sunlight outside the hall shone in, she bowed, and her voice was more gentle and charming: "Your Majesty is diligent, but you also have to take care of your body, and the concubine will leave first!" ”
Let's talk about it.
Turn away.
There is not a trace of nostalgia.
Zhao Huan looked at his delicate back, with a complicated expression hidden in his eyes, half cold, half fanatical, but they blended together without disobedience.
Outside the temple.
The eunuch palace maid couldn't help whispering when she saw Gu Xiangzhu leave.
"Among the concubines, those who can come to the imperial study at any time seem to be the only ones who are Concubine Jing."
"Niangniang's face is beautiful, and she can share your Majesty's worries, she said a few words close to herself, how can Your Majesty resist?"
"It's a pity that Niangniang never pretends to anyone other than His Majesty, and I don't know when I will see Niangniang laughing."
It was about the emperor and the concubine, they only dared to discuss a few words when they were far away, and when they were close to the imperial study, they quickly silenced.
Looking back at the carriage of Shu Palace.
Gu Xiangzhu's eyebrows frowned slightly, she naturally hoped that the Gongdan Conference would be successful, but I am afraid it would take more than a year of accumulation.
is so big, it's really not worry-free.
Net chaos!
She wanted to call Zhao Ci into Wangshu Palace to reprimand her, after all, this kid has been afraid of herself since he was a child, and if he is obedient and low-key again, he may be able to help him relieve some pressure.
But as soon as this thought flashed, she suppressed it.
This kid, something seems to be wrong today.
She stroked her white and smooth neck, as if she felt the feeling of dampness and heat again, and her skin was a little numb and itchy.
Never mind!
Let's talk about it tomorrow!
Wait until this kid is normal.
……
The matter of the emperor's list spread to all corners of the song in a very short time.
Nine Kings' Mansion.
"What!"
Zhao Yongteng sat up suddenly, his eyes were a little frightened: "Zhao Ci went to the palace again?" ”
He felt that Zhao Ci was suing, after all, Zhao Ci had done this kind of thing before.
But what am I going to do with you this time!
What are you suing?
Sue me for pulling your door?
Do you want to sue too?
The maid on the side was startled, and stammered: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Haven't wiped it clean yet......"
Zhao Yong suddenly became anxious, and slapped him: "Wipe it clean?" Do you think this palace is dirty, or do you think this palace stinks? ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
The maid was so frightened that she couldn't care about her rapidly swollen cheeks, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
She was terrified, His Highness was humble and polite before, and he had never been so violent as he was today!
Zhu Yan knew what Zhao Yong was out of, and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't blame you, it's none of your business, go down!" ”
The maid didn't dare to move, but looked at Zhao Yong cautiously, and saw him waving his hand irritably, so she thanked him again and again and left as if she were running away.
Zhu Yan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry with a maid, it's not good to spread out!" ”
"Humph!"
Zhao Yong did not refute, but his face was a little distorted.
He didn't know if the words could get out.
Anyway, he doesn't want to go out in the future.
Shame on you!
Those people on the street are simply bold, let them not look, they have to look, as if their eyes can weigh how many pounds and taels they have pulled.
Bad luck!
Zhu Yan shook his head helplessly: "Zhao Ci entered the palace this time, it shouldn't be for the purpose of complaining!" ”
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment: "What is that for?" ”
Zhu Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Ci...... It's open! ”
As soon as this remark came out.
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
And then......
"Poof!"
Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "What did you say?" Zhao quit to open the house? Are you sure? ”
Opening the mansion, for the elite, is tantamount to ascending to the god rank. As long as you can make contributions in this process, it will be of great benefit to the children of the royal family, the elite of the nobles under the government, or the cutting-edge scientific research.
But for waste, it's a big pit of self-restraint and laughter.
Because once the government is opened, there will be people sent by the Zongren Mansion to secretly supervise it, so as not to use external forces to brush up on their own merits.
Even the monthly money will be cut, and only the low-level official positions will be paid.
Zhao Ci's move is really to tighten his belt, and he has to go on stage to play the role of a clown jumping beam.
Happy!
"It's true!"
Zhu Yan nodded: "Your Majesty's imperial list has been posted, and I specially helped Zhao resign to recruit officials!" ”
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yong's face suddenly became a little stiff.
Although he knew that even the imperial list recruiting officials would be difficult to achieve results, after all, everyone was going for merit, and the focus would only be on Zhao Ci's ability, and the imperial list was not easy to use.
But this act of posting the emperor's list still made him a little jealous.
Zhao Yong let out a breath of sourness: "It's okay! There are more people who have opened the mansion, and there is no one Zhao Ci. The singers are all very good-minded, except for his fox friends and dog friends, no one will be willing to vote for him. ”
Zhu Yan didn't answer, but he nodded thoughtfully.
Everyone is very realistic, and there is no need to get along with the future.
Zhao Yong was still a little uneasy: "But my father has always spoiled him excessively, who knows if he will lose proportion this time?" This time, Zhao resigned and opened the mansion, I am afraid it is not a good phenomenon. Call the maid in and help me bathe, and I'll go to see the prince later." ”
The maid hasn't come in yet.
But the eunuchs in the palace came first.
"Your Highness the Nine, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
"Huh?"
Zhao Yong was a little surprised: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what did my father call me to do?" ”
The eunuch said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty specially called the imperial doctor to help His Royal Highness the Ninth diagnose and treat the back court!" ”
Zhao Yong: "......"
His face was a little ugly, Zhao Ci is such a waste, he really sues anything!
