Xianyang Palace, court meeting.

I entered the Xianyang Hall with a pair of dark circles under my eyes, although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask, and after saluting, they returned to their places.

Yu He and the group of imperial historians looked at each other, and they all wisely did not speak.

Normally, if the emperor's mental state is not good during the court, there are generally two reasons. or stay up all night for state affairs, and have their own prime ministers to advise, focusing on their bodies; Either it's overindulgence, and at this time, you have to open your mouth to advise, to be temperate and so on.

I haven't gotten married yet, and there have been no rumors in the palace about my extravagance, so it's obviously not the latter.

So Li Si knew why I was so haggard, and still stood up: "Your Majesty's face is haggard, presumably for the sake of state affairs." Please ask Your Majesty to put your body first and Daqin Sheji as your most important thing. ”

The ministers stood up and said in unison: "Please Your Majesty put your body first, and put Great Qin Sheji first." ”

I straightened my body and said aloud, "I'm fine, sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, I said slowly: "Li Si, you write a decree, canonize Ba Taoyao as his wife, choose an auspicious month and auspicious day, and admit him into the palace." ”

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and his heart was full of changes, both happy and worried. The expression on his face was extremely well controlled, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The minister obeys His Majesty's orders." ”

Everyone else was stunned. If you don't know, you wonder in your heart, where is this good Ba Taoyao? There are those who know, the expression is complicated, this queen has not yet been established, why did His Majesty suddenly accept a businessman as his wife?

But no one dared to speak, and my expression and Li Si's undisputed expression had already said everything.

I glanced around, and continued lightly: "In addition, when Ba Taoyao enters the palace, he must enter through the gate of Xianyang Palace. ”

The crowd was stunned again. Xianyang Palace has four palace gates, the main gate in the south is called Xianyang Palace Gate, the north side is Linyuan Gate, the west side is called Wei'an Gate, and the east side is called Jingyang Gate. According to the regulations, in addition to marrying the queen, other harems must enter through the Wei'an Gate, in order to show the difference between respect and inferiority, and to make the harem stable like the stability of the Weihe River......

Li Si broke out in a cold sweat, expecting Feng Zheng or Yu He to stand up and say something for him. But he was disappointed, and even Yu He, who had always been iron-headed, didn't dare to squeak.

Li Si could only stiffen his head and replied with difficulty: "Minister...... At Your Majesty's command. ”

In the end, they still didn't have the courage to continue to confront me, and the last time Yingwu went to look for me, they were terrified. I have already offended the emperor once, so I can't offend one after another! The clay figurines also have three points of fire, and that is the emperor who is the only one......

I didn't let him go, and continued to say coldly: "Third, issue a separate edict to make Ba Taoyao dedicate all the Ba Clan's property to the imperial court and give him a peasant status to make it clear to the world. ”

Li Si is already desperate, is this the consequence of offending the emperor?

"Obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Caesar is done with his anger and is ready to get down to business.

"Zhang Han, how is the matter I assigned to you?"

Zhang Han shouted in his heart that there was no disaster, and he regretted that he shouldn't go to Yingwu with Li Si and the others! I am a captain, and I am blindly mixing with something!

There was no hesitation in his movements, and he got up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I have already sent a quick report, and the minister expects that there will be results soon." ”

God, the day before yesterday, how could it have come to fruition so quickly! It is estimated that the express report of the stone flow yellow has just been out of the customs! It seems that it will take 600 miles to rush back......

I ignored him with a calm face: "Gong loses, what about your business?" ”

When Li Si heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't let you sit down, someone accompanied the old man......

Gong Yi looked demented: 'What's the matter with me?' Wasn't it okay when Babbitt offered the stone to the yellow two days ago? How is it that in a blink of an eye, not only did Ba Tao become a lady, it seems that His Majesty is not very satisfied? The point is that I don't know anything! ’

Hurriedly got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the lathe is being built intensively, and the minister must not stop day and night, and strive to manufacture the lathe and ...... as soon as possible Something like that! ”

I also ignored him, and then called him by name: "Chen Qing, where have the envoys of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu gone?" ”

Chen Qing: '??? Have something to do with me too? ’

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been 16 days since the envoys from the Western Regions left Xianyang, and it should be in the Qinchang area at this time. The envoys of the Xiongnu peace received the news that they were allowed to enter Daqin, and by now, they may have arrived in Shangjun. ”

My face turned cold: "Should?" Possible? As a pawn, there are so many Great Qin's post houses along the way, and you don't even know where such a large mission has gone? In addition to the Western Regions, Xiongnu, Huxi, Dayueshi and Beihu, what other countries are there around Daqin? What are you busy with all day? Do you want to go to the Otsuki clan as an envoy? ”

Chen Qing's body trembled, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" After the court meeting, the ministers immediately went to investigate! ”

Everyone didn't hear my response, and they all bowed their heads deeply, for fear that it would be their turn in the next second.

"A few of you who are standing, I will do your best to do what I have assigned you. Gong Jin and Zhang Han, the work of the two of you must be completed by August, and it must reach the point where it can be used in batches! If you need money and food, you need to find Ge Yue, you need craftsmen, you need to find Bai Chong, and if they can't solve it, they will come directly to me! If there is any delay, I will punish him severely! ”

"Obey your orders!"

Listening to my movements as I got up, there was finally a heavenly voice in front of me: "The court meeting is over!" ”

Everyone has never felt that Qiwan's voice is so melodious, so full of joy, it is simply a lingering sound, three days without stopping!

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”

Everyone got up one after another, and those who stood kept beating their old waists, and those who sat in circles stretched their necks.

Someone had already approached Li Si and said respectfully: "Li Xiang, what's wrong with Your Majesty today?" ”

Li Si was angry, snorted coldly, and walked out of the Xianyang Hall without any reason.

Looking at Yu He, Feng Zheng and others again, they are obviously also worried. Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that it was something we couldn't hear, so let's ask less, and scatter as birds and beasts.

That night, Babbitt Table.

I finally mustered up the courage to meet Tao Yao and told her three things.

Tao Yao saw the vicissitudes of my face, and felt distressed, a pair of phoenix eyes instantly became cloudy, and she hid her face and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you can be by Your Majesty's side, the concubine really doesn't care if she is the queen or not." ”

I stepped forward and hugged her in my arms and sighed, "I'm sorry for you, and I didn't do what I promised you." ”

Tao Yao said softly: "Your Majesty shouldn't let the concubine enter through the gate of Xianyang Palace, since you have already chosen to forbear, why care about these little things." ”

I shook my head, my eyes narrowing slightly: "Although I compromised with them, this move also tells them that I am angry!" ”

Tao Yao didn't speak again, and the two hugged each other for a long time.

Before leaving, I asked her to prepare, after all, Ba Shi has such a big family business, even if it is dedicated to the imperial court, there are many things that need to be dealt with, and it will not be good to come out often when she enters the palace in the future.
