Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

The cold wind was blowing, and the heavy snow was flying. The officials rubbed their hands and put them in their long sleeves to keep warm. Their feet were walking back and forth on the snow-covered square, each one of them was as cold as something.

As for the court, the ministers arrived first and waited for the emperor. Everyone was already used to it, but they didn't mind why the emperor didn't show up.

But as time passed, half an hour later, someone finally showed doubts.

According to the logic, even if the emperor arrives later, it will not exceed the time of half a stick of incense. It has been half an hour, why is there no movement at all?

But everyone didn't say anything, they were still waiting.

Time passed, and another envoy passed by.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the officials couldn't bear it anymore.

Many people were stiff and shivering from the cold at the moment, wishing to find a brazier to have a good roast, but the emperor refused to come if he couldn't come. Isn't this deliberately torturing the officials?

"Old Di, there has never been a precedent for His Majesty to come to court so late. In the past, His Majesty the Emperor could arrive on time every day. Now that he has come to court every day for more than half a month, why is His Majesty so late?" sharp?"

Shu Suntong was getting older and couldn't hold on anymore, so he immediately came to Di Renjie and said hesitantly.

"That's right, Mr. Di, above the court, Mr. Di knows His Majesty the Emperor best. Will His Majesty be okay?"

Xiao He also followed and said helplessly.

"You said, it's so cold today, will His Majesty not want to go to court?"

Another voice sounded, and Wu Hua, Minister of Rites, came over helplessly, puzzled.

"That's right, the weather is so cold, and no one wants to leave the hot bed. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is not going to court early today?"

"Look, it's starting to brighten up today, and His Majesty the Emperor hasn't come yet!"

During the conversation, everyone talked to each other, and before they knew it, the six ministers and the rest of the officials gathered.

Because of the war with the Xiongnu at the beginning, all the generals of the Manchu Dynasty were sent to the Great Wall by Ying Shou. Until now, Ying Shou has not let these people come back, so there are almost only civil servants in the court, and there are not many generals.

"Hey, it's alright, alright, wait a little longer, His Majesty must have been delayed by something. If His Majesty doesn't go to court early today, he will definitely send someone to notify you. Don't worry, everyone!"

Di Renjie watched the crowd gather, waved his hands, and said solemnly.

"That's right, everyone knows the character of His Majesty the Emperor. If it doesn't come soon, His Majesty the Emperor will be the first to announce. How can we let everyone wait here?"

"Everyone, rest assured and wait, maybe His Majesty will be here soon!"

In the crowd, Zhang Liang also said with a smile.

The officials continued to wait, and before they knew it, another envoy passed by. At this moment, the sky was already bright and it was almost noon.

At this time in the past, it had already gone to court.

But today, the ministers waited for a total of three hours back and forth, which translates to six hours.

Some people, even unable to stand up, sat down directly on the ground.There were also people who were drowsy from the cold and suffered from headaches.

The officials didn't dare to complain, but for a while, each of them couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, always feeling that the emperor was deliberately leaving them alone.

The most important thing is that after Ying Shou made the rules before, the current officials dare not go to the palace to disturb, and can only continue to wait.

Without the emperor's order, they dare not leave easily, and can only continue to suffer.

During the long wait of the ministers, in Jingquan Palace, Nanyan was used to getting up early.

In the past, in order to take care of the emperor, she slept for more than two hours before dawn and would get up to prepare breakfast for the emperor before dawn.

On this day, because she slept too late and she was pregnant with a child, she slept so deeply that she had already forgotten that today was the emperor's morning court time.

It took more than three hours before she woke up in a daze.

He opened his eyes, but the light from the person outside the north gate made it impossible to open his eyes.

"When is it, why is it so bright?"

Nan Yan rubbed her eyes, only then did she realize that she was too excited last night, slept late, and seemed to have messed up the time.

"No, today is morning time!"

As her thoughts returned, Nanyan's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head to look at Ying Shou who was still sleeping soundly. For a moment, the main artery on her forehead throbbed a few times, and a bad feeling came over her heart.

"Your Majesty...Wake up, Your Majesty, wake up, Your Majesty!"

Nan Yan hurriedly pushed Ying Shou and shouted anxiously.

Everyone has the urge to wake up, and the emperor is no exception. Therefore, ordinary court ladies and eunuchs dare not disturb the emperor's rest.

Only she, the queen, dared to provoke the emperor's anger.At this hour, she didn't care if the emperor had a rest.

Once the officials are made to wait anxiously, the life of the emperor will be difficult.

Chapter 739

"His Majesty the Emperor, wake up..."

Nan Yan kept pushing and shoving Ying Shou, and her movements became bigger and bigger.

Ying Shou opened his eyes in a daze, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I said queen, I finally fell asleep, why did you wake me up so soon?"

Nan Yan looked helpless and said, "Your Majesty, this morning, what time is it?"

Ying Shou didn't react for a while when he heard the words.

He squinted his eyes to look outside, and said: "What envoy, what morning... ah, early court?"

After saying that, Ying Shou came to his senses and sat up quickly, only to see the bright sky outside the door, which was extremely dazzling.

"Come on, come on..."

Ying Shou felt a bad feeling in his heart, and shouted loudly.

The door of the bedroom was pushed back, and a guard from outside rushed in, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"What time is it now?"

Ying Shou looked at the guard and shouted in a deep voice.

"Report to Your Majesty, it is almost noon now!"

The guard quickly replied.

"What, noon?"

"Oh, those pedantic guys must freeze to death today, I don't know how to blame me in my heart!"

Ying Shou had a headache for a while, but he didn't expect to forget those people.

Ying Shou was very clear about the officials.

These people must be capable and capable, the only thing is that they have always been pedantic when facing such important events as the early dynasty and the emperor.

To put it nicely, they call it polite.They will never leave until the emperor arrives.He didn't even dare to light a fire to keep warm and so on.

To put it in a bad way, this is called pedantry, not knowing how to be flexible.With a stubborn personality, I'm afraid that after waiting for two or three hours, everyone will almost freeze into popsicles.

"Quick, Queen, change my clothes for me!"

Ying Shou hurriedly got out of bed, gave orders, and the empress immediately called the maids, who washed the emperor's mouth and changed clothes for the emperor at the same time, very busy.

After dressing up and tidying up, the emperor didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he rushed to Xianyang Palace in a panic.

Don't look at Ying Shou sometimes hating the pedantic officials, but most of the time, he still cares about these pedantic old guys.

On weekdays, each of them would sing against him at every turn, but in the final analysis, for the sake of the world, it is common for everyone to express their own opinions.

On the contrary, one day, if there are no voices of opposition in the world, that will be a great disaster for the country and the world.

Ying Shou came to Xianyang Palace, walked out directly through the main hall, came to the square, raised the crown beads on his head, looked around, and saw a group of officials sitting together in the square, huddled together for warmth, shivering, even Several others have passed out.

That scene, let alone how uncomfortable it was.

Even Ying Shou couldn't bear to see it.

"Oh my dears, what's going on here? It's so cold, why don't you send some braziers over. No matter how bad you are, you can go to the main hall to escape the cold wind!"

Ying Shou felt helpless, forced a smile on his face, walked down the stairs, came to the officials, and said loudly.

"His Majesty……"

"It's Your Majesty..."

Seeing Ying Shou, all the ministers stood up stiffly one by one, knelt down on the ground, and paid homage: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

Of course, there are still a few who have passed out from the cold, obviously unable to salute at this moment, and are still lying on the ground hugging their bodies, curled up in a ball.

"Hey, flatten your body, quickly flatten your body. My dear friends, quickly flatten your body, and look, how is it frozen?"

"Come here, quickly help all the loves to go to the main hall to rest, each send a brazier, let the loves warm up first."

"Also, send these unconscious ones to the palace first, let the imperial doctor take good care of them, hurry up!"

Ying Shou quickly waved his hand, facing this group of pedantic guys, he was also speechless.

All of them were so cold that they couldn't even move their bodies, and they were still saluting here.

Following Ying Shou's order, hundreds of guards rushed forward and helped the ministers to the Xianyang Hall.

The few unconscious ones were directly brought into the Xianyang Palace behind the main hall, and an imperial doctor was called to diagnose them.

In the main hall, someone soon delivered a fluffy blanket to each of the officials, spread it on the ground, and sent braziers one by one, and placed them among the officials.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, sit down first, warm up quickly, don't freeze!"

Ying Shou looked at the crowd helplessly, pressed his hand, and ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing this, the officials stopped complaining in their hearts, thanked them, sat down one after another, stretched out their hands, and roasted on the brazier.

Many people's bodies were covered with snow, and as soon as the snow melted, everyone's clothes were drenched, making them look even colder.

"Come here, go to the mansions of the adults immediately, and fetch warm clothes for the lovers, hurry up!"

Seeing this, Ying Shou ordered again.

After the guards left at the bottom, Ying Shou yelled again: "Come here, hurry up and prepare some food for your loves. First, each of you will have a bowl of mutton soup, and then a piece of mutton, so that your loves will have food in their stomachs." , keep yourself warm!"

"promise!"

The people below responded again and went to prepare.

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, only to see Shu Suntong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, today..."

He was interrupted by Ying Shou before he finished speaking.

I just heard Ying Shou say: "Okay, Tai Tuo, and all the lovers, let's talk about something later, keep warm first, don't hurt your body."

"I was at fault for what happened today, but you all have to treat yourself well. Otherwise, if you can't even treat yourself well, how can you take care of thousands of people in my capital?"

Hearing this, the ministers were moved in their hearts.

No one ever thought that the emperor would still have time to admit his mistakes.

All of a sudden, the complaints against the emperor dissipated in everyone's heart, replaced by tears of gratitude in their hearts.

And for such a sensible emperor, how could the officials not report their dedication to the country?

As the saying goes, the king treats me as a scholar of the country, and I will follow him as a scholar of the country.

Soon, the clothes of the officials were brought, and Ying Shou asked the officials to change their clothes on the spot.

It's all a bunch of men, and it's no big deal.

After changing their clothes, everyone became much warmer.

At the same time, mutton soup and mutton were also delivered.

At this time, when the ministers returned to temperature, it was even more difficult for themselves.

Anyone who has been frozen to the extreme by cold knows that the cold makes a person lose consciousness, which is called rigidity.

But after warming up by the fire, during the recovery period, there will always be an inexplicable feeling on the body.

Especially the fingers, with that piercing itching and weakness, it is hard to control, it is extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, the ministers are like this.
