The world is heavy and late

Chapter 14 The Queen
Besides, in the palace the next morning, Xu Ji still couldn't let go of the tone he raised, and there was still a tendency to surge up.

Here Xu Ji just woke up, and saw a little servant saying that Qiu Hai from Gong Zhengsi had come, Xu Ji looked at the servant who lowered his head so hard that he couldn't understand something, something must have happened, Qiu Hai thought Let someone send the news, but the little servant dare not say it.

"Call him in"

Xu Ji took a sip of tea, took a breather, and thought that he was already 40 years old, and his body was getting worse every year after all.

Qiu Hai walked in and knelt down and said

"Master Xu, King An drank too much last night and stayed in the palace. A maid ran in in the middle of the night, and then...then... King An was lucky." Qiu Hai closed his eyes and said, he didn't know that such a thing would happen. Ah, it's just, it's just...

Xu Ji almost didn't hold the teacup steady, his face was dark and ugly
"Go and find out, where did that maid come from, and how did she get in. Let me find out what Wang An did after entering the palace yesterday. Send more people to visit Cui Jieyu and Yang Meiren."

This is not the previous dynasty, this dynasty has never heard of a prince meeting a court lady in the palace for decades, if it is big, it is contempt for the imperial prestige, if it is small... how small is this matter.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor did not expect to receive so many surprises in the past two days. Yesterday, he learned about the complaints of the people in Xiangzhou, but today such a thing happened early in the morning. The emperor took the booklet in his hand and asked
"Have you found out who it is?"

Xu Ji lowered his head and said: "The maid was bought into the palace by the late emperor in the seventh year. There is a married aunt in their family who is the concubine of a small village in the Yang family." After a pause, he said: "But this court lady There is a cousin of the second uncle’s family, who is delivering vegetables to a Zhuangzi of the Cui family, and I heard that... not long ago, he bought a few acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing."

After speaking, Xu Ji held his breath, sweat began to ooze from his head, he wanted to shake King An in despair, there are no beauties in your fief, it is worth your attention to a maid in the palace.I thought of Cui Jieyu again, didn't you say that you marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog? You have entered the palace and still think that the family has the upper hand.

Zhao Chengming's face is also not very good-looking
"What do you mean when you say that the Cui family is trying their best to find someone who has a close relationship with the Yang family and send them to King An?"

The atmosphere in the air was faintly stagnant, Xu Ji seemed to be able to hear his own breathing, he quickly held his breath, and the only sound in the hall was the sound of water drops falling from the timer next to him, as if they were dripping into Xu Ji's heart one by one.

Zhao Chengming looked at the news that King An was impeached for being extravagant and extravagant, and built a tall tower in the fiefdom, sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and asked

"Has Lu Jin left yet?"

"I set off from the south gate at Shenshi yesterday, and I must have arrived in Shanzhou by now. In about a day, I should be able to reach Xiangzhou."

Zhao Chengming nodded
"Let him go as soon as possible. This must be an opportunity. In addition, let Xie Huizhi also speed up. There are no crops in the autumn harvest, and my people are still waiting to survive."

Xu Ji agreed.

Zhao Chengming knew in his heart that this Uncle An, the late emperor was not honored when he was fighting for the throne. He was also forced to a dead end by two brothers back then. When he had nowhere to go, he killed two brothers and forced the great grandfather to pass the seat to him. His own, at that time he was already 14 years old, and he had also played as a striker in the battlefield. The late emperor only kept this younger brother, because this younger brother had no ambitions, was lustful and extravagant, but he really didn't have the ability to usurp the throne.

What's more, today, he has followed the late emperor to the battlefield since he was a child, so he naturally knows what kind of people are ambitious, and King An is obviously not among them.

But Zhao Chengming looked at the booklet in his hand, obviously someone wanted him to distract himself to take care of King An at this time, and he was staying overnight with the palace maids and building a high wall.

Zhao Chengming was in the mood to look at the harem after this incident in his heart, and he became even angrier when he saw it. A palace maid was guarded by a servant at the door, and she let someone in. Now this incident is still rumored by everyone. , so the emperor raised his hand and said the memorial in front of Xu Ji.
"Is my harem a sieve?"

Xu Ji hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, it's all due to the negligence of your slaves, please forgive me."

Of course the emperor knew that Xu Ji couldn't be blamed entirely, but Xu Ji couldn't escape his guilt as the chief servant, and his old body couldn't stand a few blows, so he snorted coldly:
"Half a year's salary fine, let me find out the bottom matter."

Xu Ji first breathed a sigh of relief, and then tightened his skin. The friendship in front of the imperial court has never been able to withstand the wear and tear.

Thinking of what happened in the harem recently, the emperor asked
"Has Liu Si not stood up yet?"

When Xu Ji heard this, he quickly knelt down, "Slaves are not good at doing things."

The emperor knew about this and he really can't blame him. Although the Sixth Division had a statement in the previous court, the previous court itself was also chaotic in the harem and could not follow the rules blindly.No one is carrying it, and there is always a lack of some.

The emperor wondered in his heart, should he establish a queen? The harem always has accidents and it is very annoying, and someone has to take care of it. Now everyone in the harem knows that Zhao Chengming is smart, decisive and able to be the mother of the country. Really not.Not much else to say, the daughter of the aristocratic family and the mother of the country who are close to the aristocratic family are definitely not good.

The emperor first pressed his inner thoughts and took his time without rushing. The most important thing about being a prince these years is tempering his temper every day. Therefore, the late emperor also found the upright and serious Kong Heng to be the grand tutor. Of course, this cultural heritage is now being given to him. The little prince, Zhao Jingxing, is the grand tutor.

After thinking about it, the emperor looked up and saw Xu Ji still kneeling, and said

"Okay, let's go out."

Xu Ji hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed and retreated, thinking that the emperor's power had become more serious and unfathomable in recent years, unlike the young prince who contradicted his father back then.

In fact, the emperor also gave orders. He didn't have much time to take care of the affairs of the harem. He still had too many state affairs to deal with. The emperor had already begun to have the temperament of a wise king, because he had the people in his heart, and he also had plans in his heart. Calculate.

Xu Ji came out of the gate of Qinzheng Hall and realized that his back was a little wet. He looked at the sky above Qinzheng Hall, and he had the same thoughts as the emperor just now. This harem should be managed by a queen. That's good.
