System, help me be an empress

Chapter 103

The first year of God Bless, September [-]th.

The civil and military officials are going to the morning court as usual.

The incident has been fermented all night, and the incident of the bandit riot in Hangzhou has already become an uproar in the court. Among the officials who participated in the early court, at least half of them wanted to speak out on this matter.

However, the morning time has come, but His Majesty still hasn't arrived yet.

what happened?

The new emperor is diligent, and he has never been late for the morning court.

"All Aiqings calm down."

Just when the officials were puzzled, a very familiar figure of a middle-aged man appeared late.

God, why is it Chongjiu Taishanghuang?

Could it be that there was a coup in the palace last night?All the officials in the court had different thoughts, but none of them felt happy because of this matter.

"Why are you so sad so early in the morning? We haven't seen each other for a few months, and I miss you so much." Emperor Chongjiu yawned, his voice full of perfunctory.

After Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Bao Changnian, who was also unaware, looked at each other, he suddenly took a step forward, bowed his body and said: "Meng Zhiqian, minister of the Ministry of War, dare to ask the Supreme Emperor, why does Your Majesty come to court early today?"

If it was really the Supreme Emperor who staged a coup last night, I'm afraid his face would have changed at this time.

However, Emperor Chongjiu acted like a normal person.

"Youxi, she is ill." Emperor Chongjiu prevaricated while sitting on the dragon chair with sleepy eyes, "I still have to go to court for her for a while."

Are you sick? !
There are too many articles that can be written in these four words.For example, why did the empress, who was healthy yesterday, suddenly become ill? Is your majesty really sick, or is it artificially caused.

"Dare to ask the Supreme Emperor, why did His Majesty suddenly fall ill, but the imperial physician diagnosed it, how is the condition now?"

Meng Zhiqian opened his mouth and shut his mouth to say "the emperor", but at the same time he still asked without giving up.

"Slight illness, minor illness, I guess it will be healed after a few days." Emperor Chongjiu vaguely remembered that before Youxi left the Compassionate Ning Palace yesterday, it seemed that this was what he told himself, saying that she should return in a few days. It's Beijing.

"Yes."

Meng Zhiqian has not been able to get the exact information yet, but in front of the court officials, he can't continue to press him, so he can only suppress the doubts in his heart, and prepares to go to the palace to find out the news himself after the morning court.

Meng Zhiqian still thinks about the overall situation first, but of course some people don't.

In particular, the time bomb in the court, Du salutes Mrs. Du.

"Chen Du pays homage to the Supreme Emperor, I have something to announce."

Du Zhiyi, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, stood up.

It was the first time for all the officials in the court to have such a tacit understanding in their hearts. As long as this person came forward, he would definitely get a lot of important information.

"Play."

Emperor Chongjiu didn't care much about listening to the morning court, he was clearly retired, so why did he have to suffer the crime of getting up early.

It seems that this palace is not a good place.

Otherwise, after this time, he should hurry up and find an excuse to take Xixi on a tour, so as not to be caught and become emperor next time.

This tired and sleepy, really suffer.

"I impeach the Supreme Emperor."

Emperor Chongjiu was full of doubts, and immediately called Zhou Yuxue who was next to him, and asked in a low voice: "I remember, the Supreme Emperor should be more than me?"

"The Supreme Emperor, you are the only one left now." Zhou was ashamed to learn it.

"Then do you think he doesn't know that I am the only emperor left?" Emperor Chongjiu said seriously.

"..."

Are you kidding yourself?

Emperor Chongjiu's sleepiness was gone, and he turned to Zhou Yuxue and condemned him all over his face: "It took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the calculation in the court, and he wouldn't want to settle any old scores with me, would he? Eunuch Zhou, you have to testify, just in case you When Xi came back, he was the one who found fault first!"

"...The Supreme Emperor, that is Mr. Du, Minister of the Household Department." Zhou Huixue hinted.

"I'm not deaf. But now I'm angry, and I suspect that this person is about to target me."

Zhou Yuxue hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Before leaving, His Majesty specifically told you not to offend Mr. Du, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Mr. Du is in charge of the money. You can't do anything about him."

"Then I will demote him!"

"Your Majesty said that if you have to relegate Lord Du, she doesn't intend to do it. In the future, she will go to herself and approve the memorial herself, and she will complain to the Queen Mother, saying that you look down on her."

"Eunuch Zhou is talking nonsense, Mr. Du is such a good official, how can I be willing to relegate him." Emperor Chongjiu smiled resentfully.

"Then Master Du, tell me what you want to impeach the Supreme Emperor."

Baiguan looked at Emperor Chongjiu's gentle face and fell silent. Is this the moody and stupid emperor they once knew?
Du Zhi, Minister of the Household Department, said with a serious look: "I feel that since the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, it is not suitable to continue interfering in the affairs of the court. Since the current situation is forced by special circumstances, the minister also believes that the Supreme Emperor should not sit in the position of His Majesty. It doesn't make sense."

None of the court officials seemed to have expected that Du Zhiyi would be so insane, dare to say such a serious thing, maybe he would die! ! !

"Just for such a trivial matter?" Seeing that he was not settling old scores, Emperor Chongjiu heaved a sigh of relief decisively, "Sit if you don't want to sit, Eunuch Zhou, bring me another chair."

The officials did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would cooperate so much that he would not even sit on the dragon chair if he said he would not sit on it.

But at the same time, this also sent a signal that the Supreme Emperor probably had no intention of carrying out a coup d'état, and the new emperor might really just have a minor illness.

Du Zhiyi was not stupid either, seeing that he had found the result he wanted, he immediately stopped talking.

"Is there anything else? If you have nothing to do, retreat."

Emperor Chongjiu was in a hurry to get off work.

All the officials, who were full of enthusiasm and planned to discuss the matter of Hangzhou rogues claiming king with passion, all looked hesitant. Telling the Supreme Emperor about this matter, would it be useful?
"I have something to announce."

Bao Shoufu and Emperor Chongjiu are old partners, and Bao Changnian has a good understanding of Emperor Chongjiu's temper.

Emperor Chongjiu finally saw a familiar face appear, and finally felt better: "Let's talk about Bao Aiqing."

"Recently there have been a group of rogues in Hangzhou, causing trouble there. Yesterday there was even news that the rogues had occupied the government office in Hangzhou and had taken the local magistrate hostage. This incident is simply a slap in the face of my court. I implore the Supreme Emperor to issue an order to send troops to suppress it. .” Bao Changnian followed the path.

"Okay, just do what Bao Shoufu said."

Before the other officials could express their opinions, Emperor Chongjiu immediately agreed with Bao Changnian's remonstrance, telling the other officials to shut up before they could open their mouths.

Alas, this situation will not happen if you change to Xindi! ! !
At this time, countless officials silently prayed in their hearts that the empress would recover quickly and come back to preside over the overall situation.

"Then it's okay to retreat."

"I have something to announce, and I feel that the Hangzhou mansion..."

"You wait." Emperor Chongjiu summoned Zhou Yuxue and asked in a low voice, "Can I offend that one?"

Zhou Huixue nodded: "Yes."

Emperor Chongjiu changed his face in an instant: "The matter of Hangzhou has been handed over to Bao Shoufu. If you have an idea, talk to him, or do you think it is better for you to be the chief minister of the cabinet?"

The admonishing official was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "I dare not."

"Then retreat."

Emperor Chongjiu nodded in satisfaction, today's mission is successfully completed.
