Prime Minister

Chapter 476
Listening to Gao Taotao's words, and seeing the congratulatory congratulations from the other party, the official suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

Empress Changsun?

Would you rather match?
Back then when Ren Shouzhong opened the Fengchen treasury privately to take tens of thousands of taels of gold beads and dedicated them to Gao Taotao, our virtuous empress smiled like a flower blooming on her face.

That joy...

What kind of empress is this?
If you were the empress when you received the money, you wouldn't be like this.

However, even though the officials were slanderous, they dared not say a word on the face. Years of strict control over their wives made the thirteen regiments always know that they must hide their thoughts in front of their wives, what to say and what not to say.

The official was about to help Empress Gao up and said, "The empress is really my eldest grandson, but unfortunately I am not Emperor Taizong. I don't have this fate."

Empress Gao suddenly said, "Why do the officials say that?"

The official sighed: "Didn't I ask Mr. Han Xianggong and Ouyang Xianggong to discuss the name of my father King Pu?"

"Han Xianggong said that the ceremonial officials meant that he should be called the emperor's uncle, but I thought that I had called my father for decades, but now I want to be called an uncle. This is not reasonable. Can I be called Huangkao? If you don't call him the emperor, I'm afraid the queen mother won't agree, and the officials won't agree either."

"You said that although Emperor Taizong murdered his brother and forced his father, he was still his own son, but what about me? The ministers kept saying that the world was given to me by the late emperor and queen mother, so I wanted to be kind. It’s like a huge bargain, and Fu Bi kept saying that there were many people who could raise heirs for the first emperor, but he chose me. Doesn’t this imply that the emperor’s heir can replace me?”

Empress Gao said: "Then the officials are now going to fight... the emperor's examination?"

The official said: "Although I am now the emperor, this seat will be replaced by others at any time. Is it not for the queen mother? Fu Bi said that I have already told Mr. Han, but we will discuss it after the emperor's great prosperity..."

Speaking of this, the official looked at Empress Gao and held her hand, and said with red eyes: "Tao Tao, do you know? Actually, I never wanted to be the emperor. It was Han Qi, Sima Guang, Zhang Yue and the others who forced me to do so." I have achieved the position of the emperor. If I were not the emperor, I wouldn't even have my father as an uncle. I am really... really unfilial to the extreme!"

Speaking of this, the officials looked very angry, as if Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Zhang Yue had really committed some heinous thing, as if they were all to blame.

Even Gao Taotao couldn't help shaking his head at this moment, and said: "But do the officials still remember what Zhang Yue said when you were in the palace?"

The official said: "I remember that Zhang Yue said at that time, and now everyone in the world knows that the late emperor appointed me as the prince. If I insist on resigning and the late emperor chooses someone else in the future, will I be safe?"

Gao Taotao said: "Yes, that Zhang Yue is absolutely correct. Not only did they have no faults, but they have made great contributions to our husband and wife. So how can the officials blame them today?"

The official was speechless for a moment, and then said: "I and the Emperor Taizu are generally dressed in yellow robes, and they are not allowed to be free."

The official took another look at Gao Taotao's face, and quickly said: "Okay, I understand, I will use Zhang Yue as Wei Zheng."

The officials chatted with Gao Taotao again, Gao Taotao was finally happy and said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty doesn't need to correct the memorial anymore, stay in the palace and rest earlier!"

The official's face changed and he immediately said: "I still have to wait for a memorial from Zhongshu."

Gao Taotao said with some disappointment: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, please take care of the dragon body."

After a hasty meal, the officials went back to the study to read the memorials.

It's not that he couldn't hear Gao Taotao's persuasion just now, it's just that the husband and wife have been together for so many years, and the two of them have long since lost the feeling like left hand touching right hand.

The officials found it very boring when they went to the study. When the late emperor was there, it could be said that it was the Sangong and Sixth Court.

But what about now?

It's important that his empress is so strong that he is not allowed to accept concubines, so he doesn't even have a single person who can explain his words.

This long night is long, how can he resolve it? It is said that becoming the emperor can be the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces.

Thinking of what happened in the apse today, the officials couldn't help being angry, and then they said to themselves authentically, it seems that Sima Guang and Zhang Yue will not agree to the Huangkao matter, and Zhou Mengyang and Wang Tao are still loyal to me.

But at this moment Zhang Yue returned home from the palace.

When he was in the palace just now, he still made impassioned speeches and reasoned loudly with the officials, but now that he left the Golden Palace, the more Zhang walked, the more his back became cold.

He rode his horse and walked, but he felt the cold wind whizzing behind him into his clothes from his neck.

Only then did Zhang Yue realize that he was in a cold sweat and didn't know it.

What did you do just now?

Contrary to the emperor.

Zhang Yue thought that there was actually some fear here, but then he thought of contradicting and contradicting, and he was right, so why should he be afraid.

Therefore, Zhang Yue returned home on horseback under the conflict between the two emotions.

Zhang Yue was a little depressed at the moment, thinking about whether he was going to resign, but when he got home and saw Shi Qi Niang, he saw a sad look on her face.

"What's the matter, lady?" Zhang Yue asked worriedly.

But Shi Qiniang threw herself on Zhang Yue and cried: "Officer, my brother and sister-in-law... she went this morning..."

Zhang Yue was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Has sister-in-law gone?"

Seventeen Niang nodded with tears, and Zhang Yue quickly wiped away her tears and said, "I've only been ill for two or three months... I'm walking too fast. Take care of yourself, lady."

Seventeen Niang said: "If my sister-in-law is gone, I won't be so sad, but my brother is really chilling?"

"How is brother?"

Seventeen Niang said: "Do you know? I heard that a few days ago when my sister-in-law was still seriously ill, my elder brother went to Lu Zhijian's house in person and promised Lu Zhijian that he would marry his daughter as his successor."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he said angrily: "My brother-in-law is too much of a fool!"

Seventeen Niang cried: "The poor sister-in-law gave birth to children for him, and now she has not passed away, but she ended up in this field. I don't blame my brother for wanting to continue, but at least people leave the tea, and people have to leave the tea to cool down." Well, but now that my sister-in-law has not left, my brother actually did this, which really makes me feel that my sister-in-law is worthless."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "My lady is right."

Zhang Yue immediately thought of why Lu Hui had repeatedly defended himself recently, and it turned out that it was also because the two families were about to get married.

"What's the matter with you, officer? What happened to the court?"

Zhang Yue said: "It's okay."

Seventeen Niang said: "Officer, you and I are of the same mind, you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."

Zhang Yue knew that he couldn't hide it from Seventeen Niang, so he said to her: "Miss, you need...you need to be prepared, maybe my official position won't last long?"

Seventeen Niangs wondered: "The official has become a court official, and it is the time when his official career is proud. Why do you say that?"

Zhang Yue took a look at Shi Qiniang, he knew that his wife wanted her husband Jackie Chan wholeheartedly, she had always hoped that her official career could take a higher step, but today because of her impulsive...

Zhang Yue said to Seventeen Niang: "Miss, I really want to tell you the truth, I hated the official family in the palace today, so...so I don't think this official will be able to do it!"
