Chapter 112
Chapter 112
The emperor suddenly fainted yesterday morning, causing the ministers to panic. Unexpectedly, news came out from the palace at night that the emperor is fine!
All the ministers were not convinced at first, but looking at the emperor's radiant face on the dragon chair today, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch, it really is!It's just...it was too soon. It is said that all the imperial physicians were helpless, and it was the priest himself who acted. Everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the priest. The priest's face was rosy, his eyes were full of smiles, and he turned his head slightly to see that he was smiling like a hundred flowers with the emperor. Blooming is simply... full of affection!
Not seeing the indifference and frost of the previous few days, everyone couldn't help thinking in a daze, where was the emperor injured before... Maybe it was emotional injury!
Now that the reconciliation with the priest is as good as before, it will naturally be better... Before that, I was afraid it was a heart attack!
Thinking of this, everyone was startled, what should they do?The emperor has a deep affection for the priest, and his own daughter will definitely not get any benefits if she enters the palace. On that day, the queen mother wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor. If one is not good, the whole family will be implicated!
Everyone was terrified at once, they gritted their teeth and looked at each other, and decided to implement the second plan, civil draft, which would not threaten them, and there is no way for them to have an emperor's heir... After the emperor has lived for a hundred years, there will be no one to inherit the throne!
Everyone looked at each other, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw the eyes of everyone, and he gritted his teeth and came out, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."
Quan Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew exactly what kind of fart this old man was about to fart, but today he was in a good mood, waved his hands and said generously, "Ai Qing just said it."
The Book of the Ministry of Rites took a sneak peek at Lou Zishang, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, since you came to the throne, the frontiers have been stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and with the help of the priests, everything has prospered. You have worked hard for the people and Daqi. How can I not think about you..."
He was wearing such a tall hat, and Lou Zishang couldn't hold back his smile. Seeing Quan Xiao's impatient face, Lou Zishang coughed softly and said in a warm voice, "The emperor has worked hard for Daqi, and worked hard for the people. Everyone can see it." , Master Yan, what else is there?"
Minister of the Ministry of Rites choked up, a little embarrassed, the eyes of his colleagues shot straight at him, he gritted his teeth, and couldn't help cursing himself, why did he come out to be such a leader, seeing Quan Xiao looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, He clenched his fists and suddenly felt his confidence soar. He didn't dare to look into Lou Zishang's eyes. He lowered his eyes and said loudly, "I think that the emperor is my lifeblood. The emperor has been on the throne for several years, but he hasn't had a concubine for a long time. There is no heir, the heir is not here, Daqi is not stable, Your Majesty, please accept concubines as soon as possible, fill the harem, give birth to an heir, and leave blood for my Daqi!"
After he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground suddenly, motionless and silent for a long time. The thunderous anger he was waiting for had not yet arrived, so he couldn't help becoming more apprehensive, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Xiao didn't even look at them. He turned his head and said something to the priest. There was still a smile on his face, but he didn't see any anger. He immediately felt relieved. Several people looked at each other and stood up. The words are extremely true, and the minister seconded the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager passed away three years ago, and you valued filial piety. However, the three-year filial piety period has passed, and it is the most important thing to do!"
"Your Majesty, no matter how obsessed you are with government affairs, you shouldn't neglect yourself. Someone still needs to take care of the harem."
"..."
Everyone praised Quan Xiao and thought of him one after another, Lou Zishang was a little bit dumbfounded, why didn't he realize before that Baiguan's flattery is so good!
Quan Xiao sneered, "Get up, everyone, speak up if you have something to say, if you don't have anything to do, just kneel down like that, if you say it and don't know it, you'll think I'm cruel."
Everyone was shocked, got up quickly, and said in panic, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"What are you panicking about?" Quan Xiao clicked his tongue lightly, "A concubine? How do you think I accept a concubine?"
Everyone was overjoyed, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you order a private draft immediately, and all the girls who are as good as you..."
Before he finished speaking, Quan Xiao's face sank, and he said sharply, "The draft is a waste of money for the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why bother to disturb it! As an emperor, I should be working for the well-being of the people, why is it the other way around?!"
The corner of Lou Zishang's mouth twitched, but he echoed, "The emperor's words are reasonable, besides, the harem concubines are extremely important, and there are countless women in the folk, how can Qin Tianjian be busy at that time, or if there is a beautiful woman who matches the emperor's horoscope? Chong, injured the emperor's dragon body, how about the honor?"
"This... Your Majesty, you are the lord of the Great Qi, choosing concubines for the Emperor, and spreading branches and leaves for the royal family is the responsibility of the people. The Emperor is considerate of the subjects, and we must also be considerate of the Emperor! That word... how about , why not trouble the priest to calculate it..."
"Bastard!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Quan Xiao sharply, "The body of the priest is related to my great Qi Guozuo, and the little beautiful girl has to work on the body of the priest?! Priests are also *mortal fetuses. Take it easy!"
"The people are thinking about me, so I have to work for them? Isn't it no different from a fool?! The people just want to be safe for a lifetime, and their peaceful life is suddenly disrupted. How can I be at ease? For the sake of the people of Daqi, this matter does not have to Reconsideration!"
What he said was straightforward and righteous, as if all the ministers continued to say that they intended to destabilize the state and not take the people to heart. The corners of the courtiers' mouths twitched, but they dared not refute. They are the most clear about the emperor's words. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is fighting against Confucianism. I have never seen such an emperor in the past years. Everything can be related to the people and to the foundation of Daqi. Their rebuttals are like Treating the people like nothing, it is really unpleasant to spread the word, but the people are widely praised and respected by the emperor, and the courtiers are very distressed.
"Your Majesty, then, the harem can't be empty all the time, can it?"
"So what?" Quan Xiao sneered nonchalantly, "When the Empress Dowager is in her prime, she will take care of herself..."
He glanced at the ministers playfully, "What happened on my bed... the ministers are very sad!"
Lou Zishang couldn't help but glared at him when he heard the words. As an emperor, his words were too presumptuous. Those courtiers blushed instantly, and the Minister of Rites coughed softly, "Your Majesty, the harem matters are related to Guozuo..."
"Tsk, I work hard and do my best for Daqi every day. The harem is supposed to make it easy for me. Don't you think so?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, "What the emperor said is very true, but now the harem is empty, and you don't even have anyone to relieve your boredom."
"Who said no?" Quan Xiao sneered, and looked at the priest with a smile, "Although I don't have a harem, but... the priest talks with me every night while holding a candle. , pay attention to Daqi's affairs, without the harem I am very at ease, you may worry too much."
At these words... Lou Zishang blushed immediately, and kicked him secretly, Quan Xiao didn't know how to restrain himself, and continued without waiting for the ministers to speak, "The harem was originally to relieve me, but... I looked at that Yingyingyan Yan's woman is so heart-wrenching! Is this to relieve boredom or to add to my troubles!"
"This, this..." All the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, secretly thought that the emperor was a bit bold, even if he and the priest... couldn't say it blatantly!
The twitching corners of the mouths are speechless. Can you tell the truth about your relationship with the priest? !
Quan Xiao is unrestrained, but the courtiers are restrained and dare not poke it directly, for fear that if they do, Quan Xiao will go along with the flow and directly announce his relationship with the priest to the world, so what should I do?
The reaction of the common people is unpredictable, but in fact they are not too worried about what will happen to the neighboring countries. Daqi has prospered under the leadership of the power lords. In the past few years, those who intend to make trouble have been chased and beaten one by one, especially Beidi. The dishonesty, in the middle is Quan Xiao Yu Jia's personal expedition, Lou Zishang is with him, Quan Xiao is good at the art of war, and the two people's skills are unmatched, and then united, killing people without blinking an eye, quite sweeping away thousands of troops, The reputation spreads all over the world, and no one can surpass it.
All the ministers and common people in Daqi were laughing from ear to ear, and they didn't know what the emperor and the priests were doing, but it was good anyway, Beidi was beaten hard, and he was completely safe, and the common people respected Quan Xiao and Lou Zishang even more. , the ministers are also proud!
To put it bluntly, even if the matter between Lou Zishang and Quan Xiao was exposed, they would not be afraid of trouble. In the big exchange of blood between the court and China, each of them was promoted by Quan Xiao. The matter of sacrificing his life to save Quan Xiao is still vivid in my mind. The two of them are deeply in love, and the military officer admires them very much. Most of the people who accept concubines in the court are civil servants. The military officer is embarrassed to mention it. They all kept silent.
But for civil servants, one thing more is worse than one thing less. There is nothing wrong with the emperor and the priest being together in private, but heirs must be left behind!How can it be good to have no heirs?
"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Rites is a loyal and loyal person. At this time, he was forced by Quan Xiao to say a word, and shouted in pain, "The Empress Dowager is old, you have to think about her old man even if you don't think about yourself. After so many years , even poor people have grandchildren at this age, poor empress dowager has worked hard all her life!"
He yelled sadly, and those who heard it were sad and those who saw it were crying. The corners of Lou Zishang's mouth twitched, and Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows playfully and said with a light smile, "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager also told me that she can't stand the child's troubles the most in her life. The Ministry of Rites Shang Shu...does he know the Empress Dowager better than I do?!"
These words... Minister of the Ministry of Rites was so frightened that his legs went limp, "I, I dare not!"
Quan Xiao sneered, "The Empress Dowager has worked all her life, this is the time when she should be free and easy. Besides, the Empress Dowager dare not be old when she is just forty!"
"All the ministers want me to choose a concubine! Have you ever thought about it for a priest?"
Everyone and Lou Zishang were taken aback, only to see Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows, he said with a sneer, "The priest is ordered by heaven to live with me in the Qianqing Palace today, and today you are threatening me to draft a concubine, There was frequent traffic in the harem, and the priest swore on that day that he would not marry a wife and have children, and that he would not have an affair with a woman! However, the priests of Daqi are beautiful, unparalleled, gentle and gentle, and gentle as jade. , heavy waist and pan temples, beautiful algae and spring flowers, wonderful hand painting, a painting is hard to find, a beautiful heart, a talent of heaven and earth! Men are ashamed when they see it, and women are heartbroken when they see it! How can women in the world know that there is no one with a deep city? At that time, one of them will not be able to ask for it. If you give medicine to the priest, which will pollute the noble body of the priest, or hate it out of love, it will be difficult for a woman to guard against it. At that time, one of them will be bad, and you will assassinate me, Daqi Priest! If something happens to the priest, who are you? Take the responsibility?!"
"My great Qi needs the protection of priests! How can I abandon my great Qi kingdom in order to choose a concubine?! Choose a concubine and choose a concubine? You are always talking about it, what is your heart?!"
Quan Xiao sternly spoke, and his voice suddenly rose, "You are also from the imperial examination, and the Imperial College taught you! Why is it so absurd! Doing things regardless of the front and back, I am really disappointed!"
