Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 804 In This Life, Jinse Years (2)

In the imperial study room, Gao Lu waited cautiously.

From time to time, he secretly glanced at the emperor who was reviewing the memorial with a slight frown.

Since this morning, the emperor's expression has become very intriguing.Of course, in front of the emperor, he would never dare to reveal such thoughts.

During the morning court today, although the emperor was smiling, the smile was a bit deeper and more lazy than the usual smile.

Even, the emperor got up earlier this morning than in the past, and went to court half an hour earlier.Those ministers, after getting the news, almost all put on their clothes while running.

When they arrived at the court hall, it was obvious that many ministers were wearing crooked clothes, and they were obviously in a hurry.

The emperor looked at a minister of the household department and disliked him for wearing a woman's belt, so he drove him home and made Mianbi think about it for a month.

The poor minister just turned 40 yesterday. He celebrated his birthday with his family members, so he will naturally drink some wine.Accidentally drank too much and slept in the wife's room.

In the middle of the night, in a daze, he was called up by his wife and the girl to wash and dress, and he chased them out in a panic because of their quarreling.

Confused for a while, he listened to what his entourage said, saying that the emperor ordered all the ministers to enter the palace half an hour earlier today, which scared him so much that he woke up immediately.

At that time, there was no need to let the wife and maids wear the clothes together. With such a frivolous speed, it is estimated that the emperor has already left the court early, and they are still studying whether there are some creases in the official uniform today.

Thinking about it, I feel that women are really troublesome.So, the householder directly drove all the women out, but when he drove out, his wife was not fully dressed.

As a result, after waking up from a hangover, a certain adult from the household department, who was still a little dazed in his brain and his eyes were blurred, put on his wife's belt and hurried out of the mansion to get into the car.

In the moonlight, run to the palace.

I saw a lot of carriages along the way, and almost all the followers trotting along with the carriages and waving clothes in their hands shouted: "My lord, my lord, your robe..."

The adult Hubu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.After getting into the carriage, he had already relaxed, so he narrowed his eyes slowly while there was still some time on the way.

His entourage was also not awake, and the sky was relatively dark, even though the moon was bright, but the palace walls were tall and thick, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, everyone was rushing into the palace, so they didn't care about their belts.

Gao Lu couldn't help but smile when he thought about that certain minister of household department who was kicked out to go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and secretly sighed that he was lucky, it's a good thing he didn't go out to drink with the young people around him last night.

Otherwise, with the emperor's actions today, it is estimated that even he will be sent to a black prison for training.

Not only the minister, but even the prime minister, who the emperor has always valued very much, was scolded by the emperor from head to toe because of the crooked clothes he wore.

For example, the hair is not neat enough, the clothes are not flat enough, the pants are too long, and the pattern of the shoes obviously does not match the clothes... The last sentence directly summarizes the statement: disheveled clothes will damage the majesty of the heavenly family.

Let him count the list of ministers whose clothes are not neat enough to make the emperor dislike, and then punish them in various ways.

The general punishment is to fine each one's salary for one year, and the Prime Minister, as the head of all officials, is naturally the heaviest punishment.Not only was he fined three years of salary.

For those who are particularly disliked, such as that certain adult from the household department, they are directly asked to think behind closed doors.

And those who don't dress well, are called out, and are a little bit at a loss. The light ones are demoted from official positions, and the serious ones are sent directly to the cabinet, and they are directly trained by special personnel. When will these etiquette be practiced well? When will I be reinstated.

At the same time, the time of the court was adjusted, because the dawn was earlier in summer, and the time of the court was advanced by half an hour, and the adjustment was not made until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

All kinds of systems, hearing the ministers, breathed in again and again.

However, after the ministers went down to court, they noticed a problem. Those who were severely punished seemed to be related to the ministers who had been impeached by the Ministry of Officials for using power for personal gain and smuggling salt.

The ministers who originally had some opinions on the emperor's actions have lost all opinions in their hearts.

The emperor's methods are vigorous and resolute when doing things, and various moves emerge in endlessly.How dare they gossip at the moment, they just sigh that they can save their lives, stay safe by themselves, and don't be implicated.

It's just that I often walk by the river, so there's no reason not to get my shoes wet.

So this time, almost half of the ministers in the DPRK and China were fined their salaries.Knowing that the emperor just took advantage of today's sudden action to give them a warning, he couldn't help but secretly sigh.

He secretly sighed that he hadn't boarded that thief ship, otherwise he would be directly called into the cabinet by the emperor for training, and he didn't know if he would have survived.

Thinking of this, Gao Lu lowered his eyes.

Now looking at the emperor's smile, he has been with the emperor for a long time, so he naturally knows the hidden meaning behind the emperor's smile.

I thought to myself, in the past two days, I don't know who is going to be unlucky.

In the past month, besides the disappearance of the prince, the emperor has been more concerned about the empress who seldom shows up in Jiuyou Palace.

Looking at it now, Gao Lu can guess, it is estimated that the empress empress and the emperor had a little conflict.

But looking at the emperor's appearance, and the Jiuyou Palace, there seems to be no movement.In the past, if there were some small conflicts, the emperor would ask him to make some small things and send them to Jiuyou Palace to make the empress happy.

The empress is good-natured, gentle and elegant, and she smiled when she saw those little objects.Then his life will be easier.

It's this hour today, and the emperor is still in the imperial study.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Lu swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for lunch."

In fact, there is still half a quarter of an hour, but at this time in the past, the emperor should put down the memorial in his hand and say to him, "Gao Lu, get ready!".

Then, he followed the emperor and went to Jiuyou Palace to have dinner with the empress and princesses.

Today, after the questioning, Gao Luhou stood aside and became more cautious.

Feng Jiuyou finally raised her head from the memorial, glanced at the sky outside, and then at the hourglass in the corner: "Isn't there still half an hour?"

Gao Lu: ...Didn't your Majesty ask the servant to remind you at this time?Because he didn't remind him before, the emperor and the ministers had been discussing for an hour, and the empress had been waiting there.

When the emperor found out about it later, he gave him a severe reprimand and even rewarded him with a board.

He can remember the lesson of blood firmly.

What's going on now, has it changed again?

Gao Lu was still puzzled by all kinds of doubts, when he heard the emperor's slightly low voice from over there: "Is there someone from Jiuyou Palace?"

Gao Lu was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it he shook his head quickly.

Sure enough, is it really awkward again?

However, didn't there be news about His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday? Logically speaking, the Emperor and the Empress should be very happy today, so how could they be so awkward?
Gao Lu couldn't figure it out, Feng Jiuyou's eyes became deeper and deeper, he flipped through the memorial twice, and threw the memorial aside in a bit of annoyance.

"Prime Minister Xuan and Minister of the Ministry of War have an audience!"

Gao Lu was stunned again, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went out to communicate.

Feng Jiuyou sat there after the case, frowning slightly, looking through the door to the direction of Jiuyou Palace, feeling agitated in her heart.
