Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 235
"Yes, Dad!"

Chu's second son and Chu's third son were so excited when they heard it, they knelt down and promised loudly!
When Ding Wei received the news, after Fang Xin and Chu Qixi returned home, she was much happier with such a powerful force from the Chu family.After all, where there are interests, there will be fights and bloodshed, and it is always more reassuring to have the Chu family escorting them.

So, she let Fang Xin arrange for the Chu family to go to Quanzhou.

On this day, seeing that there was still half a month before the Queen's Closure Ceremony, officials from the Ministry of Rituals went to the fold to ask what specifications should be followed.To be honest, in many cases, although the queen is the mother of a country, most of the honor still depends on the emperor's favor.

In the history of Xihao Kingdom, there was a queen who was not liked by the emperor, but was forced to be conferred due to the persuasion of the courtiers, so she only gave a very simple ceremony, not to mention offering sacrifices to the heavens, even ordering the wife to congratulate and worship.

But there was also a noble concubine who was very affectionate with the emperor, and the ceremony for her promotion to empress was extremely luxurious and grand.

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals dare not make decisions without authorization. The current emperor is not the puppet of the Sima family before. Ask more about everything and follow the emperor's order. There will be no mistakes.

Sure enough, Gong Zhiming didn't even read the memorial, and said directly, "The ceremony for conferring the Empress Dowager should be the same as the enthronement ceremony, offering sacrifices to heaven and amnesty, a three-day celebration, civil and military pilgrimage, and the married woman kneeling to welcome her!"

The civil and military officials were all surprised when they heard it. Although they had known the emperor's love for that peasant girl, it was still too unexpected for such a grand ceremony.

The elders of Ge frowned even more, and the brows of Elder Dong Ge, who had been honest for a while, even faintly twitched.

But before the few of them could speak, a servant from the household department stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury doesn't have much silver left, and it's going to be summer soon. We need to clear the river and strengthen the embankment. In case of heavy rain Now, we have to prepare money and food for disasters. The post-sealing ceremony... well, it really consumes too much money..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone could hear the objection.

Gong Zhiming also frowned, but still insisted, "The grand ceremony must be grand, and the national treasury is not enough, so it can be allocated from the internal treasury."

A group of civil and military personnel looked at each other and fell silent.

What else can they say, the emperor has to spend money from his own house to subsidize the grand ceremony, if they object again, it will be purely to make the emperor unhappy.

At such a time, Mr. Dong Ge couldn't bear it anymore. After thinking for a while, he stepped out of the train, stood upright and knelt down, looking as if he was dying.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to announce."

His appearance aroused the curiosity of the officials, and Gong Zhiming glanced at the stack of memorials that had been put on hold from the corner of his eyes, but he knew it well.

"Master Dong is alive, so let's have something to say."

Elder Dong Ge refused to get up, and after kowtowing, he finally reported, "Your Majesty, the blood of the Gongzhi family has always been thin. Now that the Emperor is in the prosperous age of Donghao, the harem is empty. For the sake of the country, for Donghao's future generations, the old minister boldly asks The emperor ordered the selection of concubines."

When his words fell, all civil and military officials' eyes widened immediately, some were surprised, some were puzzled.The surprise is naturally for those who have daughters at home, looking forward to entering the palace to be favored by the emperor, the family will naturally share the honor.As for those who are in doubt, they are well-informed.It seems that I have heard vaguely before that the emperor promised Miss Ding to marry her alone.Although hearing is deception and seeing is believing, no one would dare to say that the emperor's love for Miss Ding is fake.

Everyone was thinking separately, and looked at Gong Zhiming who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Sure enough, Gong Zhiming frowned extremely coldly, not at all happy.

"Li Shilang said just now that the treasury is empty, and choosing a concubine will cost a lot in the harem. Let's talk about this matter in the future."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mr. Dong Ge again, "Mr. Dong Ge has worked so hard, I am very relieved."

If you are a smart person, you should understand the emperor's refusal at this time, but Dong Ge is either not smart or has a stubborn temper. It is not as important as the royal blood and the country. The old minister is bold enough to ask the emperor to choose a place in the capital, so as not to waste the people and money, and to be canonized together in time at the post-conferring ceremony."

Although these words seem to be for the sake of the emperor and the country, but in fact they are pressing harder and harder.

This time, Gong Zhiming stopped leaving messages for the old minister, and waved his hands directly, "Master Dong, get up, I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say it."

Prime Minister Fang also hurriedly came out and said, "There is no rush for this matter, let's discuss it later."

It's a pity that Dong Ge Lao Xu felt that he was humiliated, and this time he wanted to be a minister even if he was hated by the emperor.

"Your majesty, the veterans are loyal to the country. I hope the emperor will grant you!"

There was already anger in Gong Zhiming's eyes, and the lines on the side of his face were tense.Immediately, another Ge elder stepped forward to comfort Dong Ge, "Master Dong, the emperor must have other plans. You should hurry up!"

However, Dong Ge always seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and refused to get up desperately.

For a while, there was a bit of chaos in the hall.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a white jade pen washer on the Longshu table fell to the ground, and it instantly fell apart, fully expressing the emperor's anger.

All civil and military officials knelt down, looking at the emperor from the corners of their eyes, but unexpectedly found that the emperor's expression was very calm, completely expected to be furious.

Just when they were surprised, Gong Zhiming threw out a sentence, "I was murdered by a traitor back then, and my body was injured, so it was inhumane. Choosing a concubine to enter the palace is superfluous!"

Redundant?redundant!
When all the courtiers heard the words, they were all stunned, not knowing what to say.No wonder the emperor dotes on that peasant girl alone, it turns out that she is "a widow with a disease".

The head of a country is actually inhumane. When the news gets out, it will shock the world.It will become the laughing stock of other countries!

"This news must not be spread!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Mr. Dong Ge was the first to speak with a pale face.

The rest of the civil and military officials could not wait to reach out and strangle him to death.If he hadn't been forcing the emperor to choose a concubine, how could the emperor say such a thing.Now it's impossible to cover it up, and it's even worse not to cover it up. It's a dilemma.

"Of course it can't be spread out. Today's incident counts as one. Whoever dares to disclose it is Donghao's enemy."

All the civil and military personnel nodded hastily, and finally looked around the hall like thieves.Fortunately, today is the small court meeting, there are not many people, the guards are outside the main hall, even the eunuch Bingbi is not here, it can be said to be extremely lucky.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and the maids and eunuchs serving outside the palace, as well as the guards, looked puzzled.I don't understand what's wrong with all the civil and military people, each of them seems to have suffered from constipation for many years, their faces are flushed, and they dare not release it.

However, they guessed and guessed, but they didn't dare to ask the first half of the sentence.

But they dare not ask, but it does not mean that no one dares to ask.

In Yongfu Palace, seeing the good weather, Ding Wei was very interested, and brought a group of girls to bake some biscuits with novel designs, and prepared them for An Geer and Erwa to eat on weekdays.When I first made the moulds, I didn’t know where Lin Liu found a good master. The animal patterns carved were all lifelike, and the baked biscuits were also very cute.Not to mention the novelty of Ang Geer and Erwa, it is Ding Wei and a few girls who ate a few dollars more.

It was the bustling time, and when Gong Zhiming suddenly came over, everyone was surprised.After all, the court will leave at noon. Dong Hao has a lot to do, and there are many political affairs that need to be discussed by civil and military officials. Today, he came back at the end of the day. Could it be that something happened?
While they were busy waiting for Gong Zhiming to change clothes, pour tea, and give up their seats, they all glanced at Feng Jiu, hoping he could give some hints.It's a pity that Feng Jiu didn't know if he had "head bowing syndrome" today, and buried his head in his chest, unwilling to lift it up.

Everyone was helpless, they could only find an excuse, and even hugged the little master out.

Seeing the appearance of everyone like this, Ding Wei felt a little funny.

Gong Zhiming's taste is light. She specially made green tea-flavored biscuits before, and now she asked while reviewing, "Why did you come back so early today, and you still look so bad? The girls ran away in fright. I'm the most pitiful, I can't even run, I can only fill my pump. Come on, tell me, what happened?"

"Gaba, Gaba!" Gong Zhiming chewed two biscuits, the fresh and sweet taste made him look much better, but he was still a little depressed.

"Just now at the court, Elder Dong Ge proposed to choose a concubine in the capital."

"What?" Ding Wei became angry when she heard it, "This old man, how much hatred do I have against him? Why are you against me everywhere!"

Seeing his beloved little girl get angry, Gong Zhiming felt strangely relieved.

"Half a month ago, he submitted the memorial, but I refused to send it. Unexpectedly, he mentioned it again today, and even knelt down, forcing me to agree."

"Let him kneel down, kneel down and let him die in peace." Ding Wei gritted her teeth with hatred, no one could calm down after hearing someone suggested finding a bunch of women to share her husband with.

"If you don't help with so many political affairs, it's okay to just stare at the harem all day long, what a shameless old man!"

Gong Zhiming also felt that these words were scolded happily, and laughed, "I really want to say that, but it's a pity that I always have to worry about the face of the old minister."

Ding Wei bit a biscuit bitterly, as if chewing Dong Gelao's old arms and legs to pieces.Finally, seeing Gong Zhiming's smiling face, he stared again, "Don't tell me, you agreed!"

She almost squeezed the last few words out of her teeth, and Gong Zhiming laughed out loud again.

"How dare I? I couldn't be entangled, so I made an excuse. I'm afraid no one will dare to mention the matter of choosing a concubine in the future."

Now it was Ding Wei's turn to be curious, she hurried up to Gong Zhiming, and urged, "Tell me, what good excuse did you find?"

Gong Zhiming didn't speak anymore, but raised his hand and tapped on his lips.

Ding Wei rolled her eyes, and pecked bitterly on his lips.Gong Zhiming was not satisfied, he hugged her neck and kissed her deeply, and finally whispered a few words in her ear.

"What?" Ding Wei almost dropped her teeth in shock, "You really said that?"

Gong Zhiming spread his hands childishly, "This is the only way to get it done once and for all."

"Haha, haha! They actually believed it!" Ding Wei remembered how surprised those civil and military ministers would be at that time, and couldn't help laughing and collapsed on the soft couch, unable to get up.
