After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Chu Huan's good mood lasted until the court meeting the next day.

The sky was white and dull that day, and the floating clouds were scattered and blended with the sky.

Today, during the regular court session, Emperor Zhaoyuan sat on the south-facing throne, wearing a robe with pipa sleeves and a twelve-chapter dragon pattern, and a golden crown with two dragons playing with a pearl. He looked majestic and handsome, and could not be looked at directly.

The civil and military nobles stood in rows on the east and west. When everything was finished and they were about to whip the whip to start the carriage, an official in a red robe and jade belt, with snow-white hair and beard, suddenly coughed in advance, stepped out of the row and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "I have a report!"

Seeing this, the attendant beside him hurriedly sang: "The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Dong Fan, has a memorial."

The emperor looked very kind, still smiling, and asked, "What does Dong Qing want to report?"

Dong Fan hurriedly stood up to express his gratitude, and then bowed and said, "I, your humble servant Dong Fan, kowtow to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and healthy!"

He is an old minister left over from the Tianqing Dynasty. He is now over 60 years old. Although he holds the third rank, he is still quite respectable even in front of his superior, the Minister of Rites Wen Huaichen.

But for some reason, Emperor Zhaoyuan was always indifferent to him. Today, seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, he hesitated for a long time before he boldly took the opportunity to speak up.

Dong Fan said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country has been peaceful, the barbarians have been submissive, the civil and military are prosperous, the government is stable and the people are harmonious. All the officials and the people are grateful to the emperor. However, the palace has been empty for a long time, and the foundation of the country is not solid..."

He bowed his head, kowtowed, and said, "I have offended Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to discuss the matter of the Empress, establish the position of Zhonghu, and respect the administration of the six palaces!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was in an uproar. No one expected that Minister Dong would reveal such explosive news right out of his mouth.

Wen Huaichen was so frightened that he almost dropped the tablet in his hand. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this old man acted on his own and wanted to gain prominence without consulting his chief officer at all.

If the emperor thought that he was the one instructing his subordinates to make suggestions behind the scenes, his good days would be completely over!

Wu Shilu watched as Emperor Zhaoyuan's complexion changed from spring to winter, and then turned cold. He said softly, "Oh? What do you think of what Dong Qing said?"

Wen Huaichen didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said sincerely: "The matter of establishing a queen should not be discussed hastily, and it is not something that can be decided by a single word from me. I think that although it is called establishing a queen, it is a family matter of marrying a woman, and it should be decided by Your Majesty."

When Dong Fan heard this, he didn't care that Wen Huaichen was the Minister of Rites, and retorted: "Master Wen is wrong. The emperor's words and actions affect the whole world. Even if it is a family matter, it is a national matter!"

Another official wearing a bright red silk uniform stepped out and echoed, "I think what Lord Dong said is polite. Marriage is the foundation of human relations. Your Majesty should set an example for the world and further promote etiquette to strengthen the foundation, correct the mistakes and prosper the country."

The ministers became angry after a few rounds of discussions and argued fiercely with each other in front of Emperor Zhaoyuan.

But the emperor sat quietly on the throne without saying a word, just watching coldly the groups of people exchanging sharp words.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a mild-mannered and kind man. Seeing that everyone was arguing and getting really angry, he was busy trying to persuade them with kind words, act as a peacemaker, and mediate between the two sides.

He pulled at Lord Wen's sleeve and said, "Lord Wen, please don't be anxious. Don't be angry."

He asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty is already twenty-six years old, and it is reasonable for someone to ask for a queen. Why is Duke Wen so excited?"

Wen Huaichen pulled him back, stroked his beard, and sighed, "What a bunch of fools! Mr. Tong thinks I'm a bad guy? I'm saving them!"

Although he is the emperor's staunch confidant, he is also a role model for civil officials. If he knew that Dong Fan's words were like pulling a beard out of a tiger's mouth, which could lead to unpredictable disasters, why would he get involved? Wouldn't it be better to let them die?

Haha, Wen Huaichen sneered. After a few years of peace, have you all forgotten all the disasters of the past?

As he said this, he clasped his hands together and bowed upwards: "Why don't you take a look?"

Tong Shunxing looked up and was surprised to find that the emperor had left at some point, leaving only an empty throne standing on the steps.

----

Wu Shilu followed Emperor Zhaoyuan with his tail between his legs, not daring to breathe.

He cursed in his heart, this bunch of mediocre and stupid people, who were well fed all day long, and who never thought about sharing the worries of the king, but instead controlled His Majesty's life!

The emperor finally smiled a little in the past two days, but he was pissed off by these corrupt scholars.

He escorted Emperor Zhaoyuan all the way back to Yuchen Palace, and took care of everything inside and outside the palace for the emperor to change his crown and clothes, fearing that he would not serve him well and upset His Majesty again.

Chu Huan closed his eyes and let the eunuch comb his hair and massage him. He listened to the silence around him and sneered, "Why, Chief Steward Wu also thinks that I should be the queen?"

Wu Shilu knelt down with a thump, wishing he could take out his heart and show it to his master. He said hurriedly, "Master, please understand. How dare I be your master? I will only follow your Majesty's lead!"

Emperor Zhao Yuan's mouth curled up: "So, it is because I was too lenient to them, causing these people to forget the past and act like my family."

He snorted coldly: "It sounds like everyone is a loyal minister and a filial son, talking about the country and the people. I don't know that they are just after the fame and wealth of their family."

Wu Shilu felt that these words hit home with him: "Your Majesty is so wise and wise that these petty tricks will not be hidden from your sharp eyes."

Chu Huan thought of several names in his mind. They were the people who danced the most happily today.

In his previous life, Dong Fan was just a chess piece that was pushed out to test the wind. He relied on his age and seniority to act recklessly. He first submitted three memorials in a row. He wanted to save face for the old ministers, but he kept them in his pocket.

Who could have known that this fellow would go even further and speak openly at the grand court ceremony, first mentioning the matters of establishing a queen and then a crown prince, and even worse, he even made irresponsible remarks about the emperor's father's last years.

Although he usually behaved mildly and moderately in his daily life, his temperament was actually more extreme than in this life. After hearing this, how could he tolerate it? The court immediately sentenced Dong Fan to death, removed him from his post, and demoted him directly to Huizhou to retire.

This thundering move made the people behind him shrink back into their turtle shells and refuse to come out, only to use some devilish tricks in secret.

Emperor Zhao Yuan thought to himself, it seems that now that Ning'er is here, you have seen my smiling faces more often, and you won't be able to hide your fox tail anymore.

Thinking of Ning'er, he couldn't help but smile again.

Chu Huan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his girl also had the ability to predict the future and knew about this, so she sent him a letter specifically telling him "not to rush into getting married"?

Even though they were just a few clowns, I still had to spare some time to beat them up. If they didn't behave themselves, what if they upset Ning'er in the future?

He raised his eyelids: "Wu Shilu."

Wu Shilu hurriedly bowed and stepped forward: "I am here."

"Pass on my order, and have Lu Kui secretly investigate all the civil and military nobles in the court who are above the fifth rank and have daughters of marriageable age who have not yet arranged marriages. Their cases, relatives, and friends, no one can be left out, and I will keep a close eye on them all."

Wu Shilu nodded in response and in his heart he lit a candle for those adults: Oh my, I asked you to jump around, but you ended up attracting the evil spirit Lord Lu!
