Chapter 268: The Queen Mother and the Regent Who Became Cats 30
Cha Jiu wanted to retract his hand, but was grabbed tightly by Zong Yue.
In the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, he also announced another thing.
That is, next to his throne, there is an additional seat for Cha Jiu, and from now on, he and Cha Jiu will listen to the government and take power together.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar and admonished one after another.
"Your Majesty, by all means, how can a country have two masters?"
"The Queen Mother is a harem lady, and now that the new lord has succeeded to the throne, she should no longer interfere in the government!"
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!"
The ministers at the bottom knelt down a large area, and the rest of them were still standing in the old department of the Queen Mother headed by General Qi.
During this period of time, there has been a lot of discussion in the court, and many people assert that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely liquidate all the officials who once served the queen mother, and many people are panicking.
Now, that doesn't seem to be the case.
General Qi spit out the turbidity in his chest, looked at the two people on the high platform with a smile, knelt down in the midst of the opposition, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the two new masters, long live, long live, long live!" ”
The rest of the Queen Mother's old ministry also followed and bowed.
Some of the young officials who have just joined the government still can't figure out the intricate forces in the imperial court, but their greatest strength is that they are simple and obedient.
Since Zong Yue decided to let the two masters listen to the government, they obediently knelt down and accepted the result obediently.
What does it matter how many masters you serve?
Their biggest goal is to show their talents! Achieve your ambitions!
A power struggle? Too young, too hot-blooded, don't consider it for the time being.
Cha Jiu really has no interest in power.
But she likes to watch the excitement, and how these arrogant ministers put forward arguments and righteous words to prevent her from listening to politics.
Among these dissuaded courtiers, many of them put their bets on Zong Yue, trying to become a supreme minister in the future and hold heavy power.
If Cha Jiu and Zong Yue were to power together, the power in the hands of these courtiers would be reduced by half.
How could they possibly agree?
One of the stubborn old ministers relied on the old and sold the old: "If Your Majesty insists on this, the minister can only say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown and bid farewell to the court." ”
He has followed Zong Yue for many years and has always regarded himself very highly, and many officials in the court have taken the lead for him.
Other officials also planned to follow suit and use resignation to force Zong Yue to comply.
Who knew that Zong Yue said happily: "Since you insist on resigning, I can't keep you, so I will give you silver and fertile land and enjoy your old age in peace." ”
The old minister who resigned was dumbfounded.
Officials who had planned to learn to resign also quickly shut up.
"Anyone else who wants to resign? Together, I agreed. Zong Yue looked around at everyone with a smile, but the smile was clearly intimidating.
The crowd bowed their heads and fell silent, and no longer dared to object.
Zong Yue was satisfied.
He is not Zong Qiguang.
He has real military power in his hands and is not afraid of any form of soft threat.
Even if Zong Yue ordered a new young official to take over the position of the old minister who resigned, the speed was so fast that it was too late for the old minister to find a reason to regret it.
Flattered, the young official knelt down and thanked the new master.
The old minister was asked to leave the court in a daze.
He didn't expect that he had struggled all his life ambitiously, and now because of a tentative resignation, he really had nothing and returned to his hometown in plain clothes!
With such a lesson from the past, these courtiers, whether they were sincere or false, could only choose to obey and bow down to the two new lords.
Cha Jiu finally knew why Zong Yue insisted on letting her come over today.
She sighed lightly, looked at Zong Yue helplessly, and said, "If you do this, it will attract a lot of criticism." ”
Even if you can block the mouths of the courtiers, what about the leisurely mouths of the people of the world?
This is also the reason why she chose to live in seclusion in Yongning Palace, she didn't want to become the handle of his discussion.
Zong Yue naturally knew everything she planned for him, and a heart full of love was ironed.
"I'm not afraid of being talked about." He said, "I want all the people in the world to know that there is no for tat between me and you, and you are enemies to the death." ”
He clasped her hand and released a reassuring power, taking her with him to look at the courtiers and palace people who were subservient to his feet, as well as the distant mountains and rivers and people that could not be seen beyond the imperial city.
His voice was low and excited, gentle and firm: "You are the one with whom I will stay with me for the rest of my life, morning and twilight, I will always have you next to my throne, and we will enjoy every sunrise and sunset in this imperial city." ”
No more separation.
Never separate.
Zong Yue's words have come to this point, and Cha Jiu will no longer shirk.
She smiled slightly and shook his hand back, indicating that she was willing to stand at the top of this power with him, enjoying all the sunsets and stars, wind and snow and spring.
……
Facts have proved that the people are much more tolerant of the two lords in power than the courtiers.
As long as the country is stable and there is no need for food and clothing, they don't care how many emperors there are, and they don't care who is the emperor.
The mess of Zong Qiguang's reign has been cleaned up, and now the Shengguo is in order, the new policy benefits the people, and the heavens are not stingy with grace, and there are many bumper harvests, and the people have long regarded the two lords as an auspicious omen.
In the second year of Zong Yue's accession to the throne, he abolished the identity of the Empress Dowager Chajiu and married him with the gift of the queen.
The ministers went from feeling inappropriate, to wanting to speak and stopping, and finally to being obedient and accepting, and only needed Zong Yue to dismiss a dead official again.
Forget it, shut up.
At the beginning of this year, the collective increase in Yulu was just made, and there was no need to touch Zongyue's moldy head.
Dead admonition? It's a fool's job.
Now Shengguo is getting better and better day by day, Zong Yue's political achievements are remarkable, and he has won the hearts of the people, even if there are some ethical problems with the former queen mother in the harem, it is actually harmless.
Therefore, the reason for Zongyue's establishment was smooth.
However, there are also some ambitious ministers who have their eyes on Zong Yue's harem, wanting to send their daughters to the palace to be favored and consolidate their position in the previous dynasty.
"And how did you refuse?" Cha Jiu touched the three-flowered cat in his arms and looked at Zong Yue curiously.
"I didn't refuse." Zongyue Road.
Cha Jiu's eyes immediately widened, and he pinched his arm: "Then Your Majesty is planning to accept all the beauties?" ”
This bit of energy is not as painful as biting him with baby teeth when she was a kitten.
Zong Yue shook her hand and said with a smile: "I didn't accept it either." ”
He sold it, and waited until Cha Jiu's brows were twisted into twists before he said slowly.
"As soon as I give a reason for not wanting to take a concubine, these courtiers will rack their brains to come up with more reasons to convince me, and the chatter is very annoying."
So I agreed to accept the concubine, but on a few conditions. First, within a stick of incense, I can make a high-quality strategy on the spot according to the topic I give. The second is to memorize books such as the theory of governing the country and the theory of agriculture and commerce, and smoothly respond to the examination and ......"
The more Cha Jiu listened, the more confused he became: "Wait, are you looking for a concubine or a champion?" ”
"I didn't want to take a concubine, but I couldn't bear to be disturbed, so I put forward this condition to prevaricate them."
Want to enter the palace?
Yes, answer the question first.
Cha Jiu couldn't cry or laugh: "In the whole world, I'm afraid there are not many people who can pass your concubine selection exam." ”
Zong Yue stroked her face, with appreciation in his eyes: "But you can." You are full of talent and wisdom, and you are better than these tens of millions of people. With you in front of me, how can I still look down on others? ”
Cha Jiu sneered at him.
Zong Yue leaned over and kissed her, squeezing the three-flower cat lying in his arms to meow.
"......" Zong Yue frowned and lowered his head, then pinched the back of the cat's neck and walked out of the door.
Throw it out, close the door, and do it in one go.
Then go back and hug Cha Jiu and continue to kiss.
Cha Jiu's voice was intermittent: "I still think it...... Well, thought you liked cats? ”
Zong Yue sucked the red mark on her neck and murmured, "I don't like it, you are the first cat I raised." ”
He's always hated hairy things, because they might hide dirt or dirt like bugs underneath.
Cha Jiu is an exception.
And he was thrilled by this exception.
