Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 75
The doubts and curiosity in the hearts of the left and the right lasted for a whole day and night.

The next morning, the atmosphere was weirder than ever before. The ministers changed their previous majestic demeanor, and after shouting long live three times, they were all panicked like frightened birds, and no longer dared to speak casually.

There are several people missing in today's court.

The emperor came to court for the first time after nine years of enthronement. As the emperor's servant and personal chief Mu Xi, he was naturally obliged to report the details, "The side-by-side king is not feeling well and has taken sick leave."

Feng Qi leaned on the dragon chair, still resting his chin on his hand, and glanced at the officials in the hall, with a lazy and wanton attitude.

"En." Regarding Mu Xi's report, he just hummed lightly.

It was a simple sound, and without knowing what it meant, the officials lowered their heads subconsciously.

"Military Minister Ouyang Xin and Zuo Shilang Ji Xia asked for leave at the same time."

Although before Mu Xi spoke out, they knew that Ouyang Shangshu and his servant Qi Qi had asked for leave, but when Mu Xi said this fact in public, the officials still couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in their hearts.

Ouyang Xin is the Empress Dowager's brother, the youngest son of Ouyang Chunfeng, the patriarch of the country, a veritable relative of the emperor, and his position in the court is Minister of the Ministry of War. The purpose of this leave is clear to all the officials.

Is this a protest with the emperor, threatening the emperor to release the queen mother?
I still want to tell the emperor that his Ouyang family's power has spread all over the court, even if he is the emperor, he can't do whatever he wants, and he can put under house arrest whoever he wants?

Ji Xia is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he should have already stood on the same line with King Yu and Ouyang's family, so no one was surprised that he asked for leave.

It's just that knowing it is one thing in the heart, the officials are even more frightened in their hearts.

The Ouyang family is too courageous, the emperor has just returned to the court, and he has not yet figured out the emperor's temper, so they dare to demonstrate to the emperor so blatantly?
In case the emperor is furious...

Out of the corner of the officials' eyes, they couldn't help but glanced at King Yu who was standing beside the prince. Feng Qingshu's face was indifferent and indifferent, as if these people's sudden leave had nothing to do with him.

However, no matter how natural and calm he behaved, the ministers were very open-minded, and this matter must have something to do with King Yu.

Feng Qi obviously didn't care about the thoughts in the hearts of the officials, and Mu Xi hadn't finished speaking, "Your Majesty, there is also Dou Zheng, the Minister of the Household Department, Ming Hai, the left servant of the Household Department, and Gu Zihao, the right servant. They also filed leave at the same time."

The ministers felt even more depressed.

It was like a heavy stone pressing down on their hearts in an instant, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Dou Zheng, Minister of the Household Department, is the eldest brother of Princess Hanyue's consort Dou Qin.

Feng Cang's law clearly stipulates that son-in-laws are not allowed to serve as officials in the court, but son-in-law's family members can.

The military department and the household department are the two most important departments among the six departments. The military department is in charge of Ouyang Xin, and the household department is in charge of Dou Zheng. From this point of view, it seems that the power of Princess Hanyue's mansion has obviously chosen to lean on the queen mother's side.

The officials were dripping with cold sweat, wondering if the emperor felt powerless at this moment, or was he about to lose his temper?
On the first day of returning to power, there were so many people who openly challenged the imperial power, and they were all officials in important positions.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Even if it is to eliminate the Queen Mother's party, the emperor must take care of the overall situation, otherwise the government will be paralyzed, no one can use the government, and the government affairs will not be implemented. In the end, the emperor himself will be the one who loses more than the gain.

Some people meditate in their hearts, will the emperor choose a temporary compromise?

A little intolerance leads to chaos and big plans. Although the high dragon chair is majestic, but in many cases, many things are beyond one's control.

"Any more?"

Everyone was lost in thought, only to hear the emperor casually ask such a sentence.

Are there any more?
And...?

The officials slowly gasped in their hearts.

Your majesty, this is already enough to make you burn out, but you actually asked, is there any more?
The most important two of the six films have gone on collective strike, and the King of Side by Side is also protesting. Do you think this is not exciting enough?

"Report to the emperor, it's gone." Mu Xi replied respectfully, and then retreated behind the emperor.

"It's gone?" Feng Qi sighed softly and murmured, a bit of regret could be heard in his tone, "It's just such a few people, I don't think it's interesting to deal with them."

The ministers were sluggish.

dispose of?

Why should it be dealt with?
Raising his eyes casually, his cold phoenix eyes seemed to scan the hall inadvertently for a week, Feng Qi said lightly: "I am in a bad mood on the first morning."

bad mood?
The emperor is in a bad mood, wouldn't it be bad luck for a courtier?

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Everyone knelt down to plead guilty, not daring to lift their heads.

"Loves, you don't need to panic. Being in a bad mood doesn't mean I'm angry." Feng Qi sighed, and it seemed that he was really as he said, and he wasn't angry because of this matter. As for the one who is sick, the one who asks for leave, it seems that it doesn't fit my horoscope."

Horoscope disagreement?

Your Majesty, you are really good at joking.

"The side-by-side king is old, and illness is inevitable." Feng Qi slightly raised his eyes, as if looking at the cloudless sky outside the palace, "Since he is not in good health, I will give him a favor, and I will give him a special favor in the future." The side-by-side king doesn't have to go to court."

The ministers were silent.

The side-by-side king was the emperor's first surgeon.

There is no need to go to court, and you will be expelled from the center of power slowly in the future, and it is impossible to return to the previous honor by shouldering the palace.

"Your Majesty." The only person in the court who dared to speak was probably Feng Qingshu, "The King has worked hard all his life, and his contribution to the court is unmatched by anyone. Does the Emperor make the courtiers feel too chilled by doing this?"

"Han Xin?" Feng Qi seemed very strange, turned his head slowly, and looked at Feng Qingshu indifferently, "Because he has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is old and inconvenient, so I granted him no need to go to court. King Yu feels that this grace Is there anything wrong that will chill the hearts of the courtiers?"

"Although King Side-by-Shoulders is indeed unwell, he is loyal to the country and is willing to do his best for the court before he dies—"

"King Yu, even if you want to sing praises, please choose a suitable time in the future. The morning court time is limited, and I don't have time to listen to you." Feng Qi's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't care what King Yu said How ugly his face was, he turned his eyes away lightly, and his tone was calm but slowly gave birth to the iron-blooded majesty that belongs to a king, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, even if he is the side-by-side king, he cannot surpass the imperial power."

The hearts of the ministers trembled.

"Mu Xi, for every decision made by the court today, I will draw up a decree for me after the court, and let Ling Xiao take the guards to announce the decree. All those who resist the decree and do not obey the decree can be dealt with as they want. Save any sympathy."

After the words fell, all the officials trembled and swallowed uneasily, Feng Qingshu's face turned pale, and an ominous premonition suddenly struck.
