Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 498 The Harem shall not interfere in politics
No matter how the queens and concubines of Yong'an Palace feel now, what should happen outside still happened——

The emperor passed on the throne himself, and the imperial decree was read out word by word. The civil and military ministers and the royal family members heard it clearly, and there was no possibility of fraud at all, so naturally no one dared to raise any doubts.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the title of the emperor was Cang.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Supreme Emperor announced his abdication, so this year was designated as the first year of Emperor Cang.

The enthronement ceremony on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the first early dynasty after the new year was officially restored, and all civil and military officials worshiped the new emperor in the main hall.

The 16-year-old young emperor wore a well-fitting dragon robe, which set off his tall and thin body, his noble and handsome face glowed with indifference, and the strong imperial majesty poured out from his eyebrows and eyes, which made people daunted and surrendered involuntarily.

He stood there like a born emperor.

Noble and unattainable.

No one in the court, civil and military, dared to despise him because of his young age.

The nine palaces are the most precious in the world.

The power is in hand, and the people are prostrate.

The young emperor put his hands behind his back and silently stared at the noble dragon chair made of pure gold, the supreme imperial power that no one can covet. He suddenly felt lonely sitting on the dragon chair alone, so he said: "De'an, start tomorrow!" , set up a phoenix chair next to the dragon chair, and I will listen to the government with the queen."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers in the palace were shocked.

"How is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"There has never been such a rule in history, please think again, Your Majesty!"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The emperor frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone: "You can rest assured that I love you, the queen has no intention of interfering in politics. It's just that I can't live without the queen and want her to be by my side all the time, so I made this decision temporarily."

"But Your Majesty, this is against the rules—"

"Aren't the rules made by people?" Ye Junling pursed his lips, and his tone became more and more indifferent, "I just want the queen to be with me, otherwise I will change the time of the morning court. If there is no big event in the future, I don't have to go to the morning court every day. Do you think this is feasible?"

The civil and military officials of the whole court were stunned. They probably didn't expect the emperor to say such a "stupid bastard". They frowned and stared blankly.

After a long while, the prime minister Zuo who had just taken office said unhurriedly, "The emperor wants to develop in the direction of a faint king?"

Zuo Xiang Gu Ci was the former Taifu of Yushan Academy and the former teacher of today's emperor.

Although it was a new official, the identity of the emperor teacher was not a joke. The other ministers fell silent in unison and handed over the home game to Gu Ci.

"What is the meaning of this, Mr. Zuo Xiang?" Ye Junling said in a calm tone, "I have a deep relationship with the empress, and if I want to set up a phoenix chair next to the dragon chair, it means that I want to be a foolish king?"

"The country is the emperor's country, and the court can only be the man's court." Although Gu Ci is a civil servant, he speaks bluntly, "The emperor arranges the queen empress above the court, which does not conform to any of the rules in the palace. rule."

The emperor was silent for a moment: "Master Zuo Xiang is very right."

Hearing this, the ministers felt a little relieved.

The emperor is persuaded now?

It seems that it should be the role of respecting the teacher.

"But I still want the empress to be with me." Ye Junling smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "If you dear ladies feel inappropriate, I will change the time of the morning court. From now on, the morning court will start to discuss matters at the hour of the morning. It's over in an hour. All the unfinished business will be sent to the study, and I will deal with it when I am free, what do you think?"

After the words fell, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

Hours of discussion, an hour to end?
Is the emperor planning to be lazy just as soon as he ascended the throne?

Moreover, he told them in such a natural tone in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty that he wanted to be a lazy and stupid king?

No.

The emperor is clearly threatening them - telling them clearly that if they don't agree to place a phoenix chair next to the dragon chair, then things like the king not coming early will happen at any time in the future, don't blame the emperor for not reminding them .

What a wayward emperor.

The ministers hadn't recovered from the blow of the Supreme Emperor's sudden succession of the throne in the past two days, and they still had lingering fears about the series of arrangements made by the Supreme Emperor.

Fortunately, just now they thought that the emperor possessed the majesty of an emperor, which made people involuntarily feel awe and submission... It seems that it is all an illusion.

Gu Ci was a civil servant, he had been the teacher of the princes, so there was no need to question his eloquence and knowledge, but at this time he did not intend to use any reasoning or the words of the ancient sages to argue with the emperor.

Because His Majesty the Emperor who had just ascended the throne was obviously playing a rogue.

There was silence in the hall.

Gu Cidan said: "Can the emperor guarantee that the empress is just sitting next to her and not involved in government affairs?"

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were all surprised and turned their heads to look at him in unison.

What does this mean?
Compromise with the emperor's decision?

How can it be?

Even if the emperor agrees...

Even if the emperor agrees, it is impossible for the empress to not be involved in government affairs.

You don't say a word in the court, but what about after you go back and attack?When the wind blows beside the pillow, what can these courtiers know?
Who can stare at the conversation between the emperor and the queen all day long?

"I can make a promise." Ye Junling nodded calmly, and then waited for other people to respond, and then announced his retreat: "That's the matter, the court will end this morning. Gu Xiang, Lu Xiang, Wen Ge's elders , Mr. Cheng Ge..."

After counting more than a dozen important officials in the court, Ye Junling said calmly: "Follow me to the Palace of Qinzheng, I have important matters to discuss with the elders, and I will retire from the court!"

Then he turned and left.

De'an said: "Back to the court——"

"The ministers send you off to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The sound of congratulations fell slowly, and the ministers knelt quietly for a moment. The elders who had been named thought of the emperor's last sentence "I have something important to discuss with all the elders", and felt for a while that the emperor was actually willful Some, after all, they are young at heart.

The relationship between the emperor and the empress is strong right now, and the empress's natal family is in Dongling, so there is no need to worry about the monopoly of foreign relatives.

Besides, the emperor still respects them, the important officials in the court.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to say "the elders", but in short, it can be regarded as calming the uneasiness that these ministers have been lingering in their hearts for the past few days.

One emperor and one courtier.

Besides, Mr. Cheng Ge, Mr. Wenge and Prime Minister Lu were all just impeached princes before. If the new emperor holds grudges and eradicates dissidents after ascending the throne, it is hard to say whether they can save the family's life, let alone admonish them.

After the Taishanghuang made many careful arrangements, if the emperor wanted to get rid of them, neither the Cheng family nor the Ling family would be able to resist.
