Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Gu Xizhao glanced at him, "One needs to live, and live with dignity. However, you have to watch carefully, especially those who approach her proactively."

Li Zhongxian pondered for a while, then understood, "The servant understands."

Gu Xizhao nodded her chin, "Go down, I will have a few words with the Prime Minister."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xizhao walked straight towards Cai Jun.

"Mrs. Gu."

"Prime Minister." Gu Xizhao bowed back, "Last night, something happened suddenly, and I was really worried. If there is something beyond the rules or rudeness, I hope the Prime Minister will not blame it."

"Madam Gu is polite." Cai Jun shook his head, "Is the emperor okay?"

Gu Xizhao half-truthfully said: "I didn't sleep well last night, but I didn't have a fever, so I fell asleep again just now."

Cai Jun seemed to be relieved. From the corner of his eye, he saw Li Zhongxian beckoning the nearby palace people to retreat. Knowing that Gu Xizhao had something to say to him, he didn't speak again, waiting for her to say it.

Gu Xizhao was silent for a while, "What is the Prime Minister's plan for what happened yesterday?"

Cai Jun hesitated for a moment: "I...don't understand Madam's meaning."

Gu Xizhao pursed her lips, and smiled slightly, "The emperor was frightened, and he doesn't know when he will recover. The harem... I'm afraid it will continue to be vacant... and you and I both understand what a vacant harem means."

Of course Cai Jun understood, what he didn't understand was the meaning of Gu Xizhao's words, "I understand. However, the emperor... is still young, so don't worry."

Gu Xizhao looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "It's good that the Prime Minister knows what he has in mind." After finishing speaking, he blessed himself, "I'm afraid the Prime Minister will have to work hard in the future."

"Ma'am, you're being polite." Cai Jun also hurriedly bowed in return.

Gu Xizhao smiled, said no more, and greeted Huarong who was waiting in the distance, "Let the cicada come over, we are going back to the palace."

"Madam Gu." Seeing that Gu Xizhao was about to leave, Cai Jun called out to her again, and when Gu Xizhao turned to look at him, he suddenly suppressed the words that came to his lips, and turned to bow and said: " The emperor was frightened last night, thanks to Madam who arrived in time."

Gu Xizhao turned her head away again, lowered her eyes and smiled, "The emperor is the prime minister's lord, and he is also my lord."

Cai Jun was speechless, watched her go out with Chan'er, stood there for a long time, asked about Huarong's time, explained a few words to others, and then followed her out of Chengqian Hall to Mingqian Palace .

Since the beginning of autumn, the early court is no longer in the Minggan Gate, but in the main hall of the Minggan Palace.Right now, there is almost two cups of tea time before the morning court starts, the courtiers who came early gathered outside the hall to chat, and those who came late still rushed here in small steps.

"Prime Minister." Seeing Cai Jun approaching, the courtiers rushed over to salute.

There was such a big commotion in the palace yesterday, the guards at the city gate knew that Little Six had personally gone outside the palace to invite Cai Jun into the palace, the courtiers who entered the palace today naturally knew about it, but now that they saw someone, these courtiers were not in a hurry Come up and ask questions.

Even if you know too much about the affairs of the heavenly family, you still have to pretend not to know.

Cai Jun glanced at them, seeing the expressions of these courtiers, and then stood aside, his eyes downcast in a daze.

In the end, these courtiers couldn't bear it, and they looked at each other in private, and the birds who were in charge of coming forward stepped forward to talk.

"Prime Minister didn't sleep well last night, my minister looks a little unhappy looking at you."

Cai Jun pretended to turn a deaf ear to it, and the courtier in his early years looked embarrassed, and said to himself: "I think it's true, the prime minister is an assistant minister, and it must be for the sake of the government affairs, so I can't compare it with others. However, please Prime Minister, pay more attention to your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, another bird in his early years was instructed by someone, and immediately said: "When I came over from the gate of the palace today, I heard that the emperor had an important matter to discuss with the prime minister last night, and the prime minister was invited in again at night. After entering the palace, I’m afraid it’s because the discussion on state affairs was late, so I didn’t rest well, and my complexion turned pale.”

"It was so."

"Isn't it? Your Majesty is a diligent and enlightened ruler, and he is the blessing of the common people..."

The two sang one another, and from time to time a minister would interject a few words, but Cai Jun never answered, until he saw that everyone had arrived, he did not enter the hall first, but turned around and looked at all the civil and military officials, "Your Majesty is not feeling well today. Take a break in the morning, please come back, my lords."

Although they all had some points in their hearts, everyone still showed a look of astonishment, especially Lin Wenshu, who immediately asked anxiously: "Is the emperor okay?"

"Lord Lin, don't worry, the emperor is fine for the time being, he just needs to rest for a while." Cai Jun looked at him, and soon his eyes swept over the courtiers with different expressions, "The truth is waiting for the ministers here." Notifying the ministers until they are all here is because there is another matter to inform the ministers."

The courtiers looked at each other, and then they all bowed and said, "Please also ask the prime minister to make it clear."

"Just now all the ministers were discussing that the truth entered the palace yesterday, and this matter is true. However, it was not because the emperor was discussing state affairs with the truth, but because the truth did something wrong."

Having said this, Cai Jun stopped.

In front of Cai Jun, the courtiers did not dare to discuss, but those loyal ministers all tensed their faces.

Cai Jun lowered his eyes, considered his words in his heart, and then continued: "In the past, I didn't know that the emperor was unwilling to draft a concubine in every possible way because of illness, so he specially found a beauty and sent him to the palace...but he didn't want to do it because of this." It caused the emperor to fall ill."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were in an uproar.

Cai Jun didn't interrupt their whispered discussion until the person standing at the head of the military officer said, "I don't know what the prime minister said about the emperor's illness?"

The person who spoke was the Minister of Internal Guards of Zhengyipin, who is a member of the royal family, and his single name is Huan. According to his seniority, Zhao Sansi would call him uncle.Although they are relatives of the royal family, they are related to Zhao Sansi outside of five clothes.Because 100 years ago, Emperor Huijia had too many heirs, which caused the tragic situation of the royal children killing each other for many years. I don’t know whether it was God’s punishment or other reasons. The emperor’s heirs were not abundant. Like Zhao Jin, she died young, but the princesses who were born, no matter how many there are, are very healthy.

Cai Jun glanced at him, with a perplexed expression, and after a long time said with a serious expression: "Misogyny."

Courtier: "... misogyny?"

"Weichen and other talents are ignorant, and this disease is unheard of." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who has always seldom spoke in the court, looked surprised, "I hope the prime minister will explain."

Among the people in the court, what Cai Jun couldn't figure out the most was Li Yanzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Bribes are not refused.But if it is said that he is a sycophant, he has never had any troubles in major matters.

In short, he is an old fox who is not offended by either side. He rarely speaks in court on weekdays, and his memorials are also well-behaved. In the heart of the little emperor, this Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not as important as Sun Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War.

However, his official position is here, and his speech in the court hall is like a weathervane for the neutral faction headed by him in the court.

Right now, Li Yanzhi spoke rashly about this matter, but Cai Jun was a little confused. After pondering for a moment, he thought about it and said, "Before, I had never heard of this disease before. I only heard about it last night. To be precise... Your Majesty It's not a misogynistic disease, it's just doing things with women...it's not a big deal..."

He said it tactfully, but these courtiers understood it, and someone retorted immediately, "The prime minister really said it lightly, the emperor is the son of heaven, this kind of matter is related to the future of Dazhao, why is it not a big deal?"

"Master Zhou's words are true, I think this matter is a big deal..."

One person stood up, ten people reconsidered, and these ministers immediately became a mess. In this group of discussions, another person came forward in a weird way, "Just now the prime minister said that the prime minister sent this beauty to the palace. Could it be that there is something wrong with the beauty sent by the prime minister?" Bar?"

With these words, the courtier suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Lin Wenshu spoke up: "The prime minister is a minister of the arm and arm, how could he hurt the emperor by giving it away? But, will the prime minister be in a hurry to let the emperor choose a concubine, and rashly give away the beauty, and be taken advantage of by those who want to marry her?" ?”

These words seem to be for Cai Jun on the surface, but the hidden mystery is that Jianfeng is pointing directly at Cai Jun.

Cai Jun didn't respond.

Taking advantage of the topic is what these civil servants are good at. At this moment, the more they talk, the more they lose.

However, Lin Wenshu's words are not easy to refute. It is a fact that the beauty was sent by Cai Jun. If the people on Cai Jun's side speak a little wrongly, it will be easy for people to take advantage of the loopholes, and it will expose the relationship and make people wary.

After another period of silence, just when Lin Wenshu was secretly complacent and wanted to overwhelm Cai Jun again, Sun Yan said vehemently, "My lords just like to worry about nothing. Your Majesty will only be fifteenth in March next year. About I haven't figured out that kind of thing, to be honest, when my mother sent me the girl in the house, that slut maid was so flirtatious, she swayed at me naked, and didn't scare me so much that my nose bleeds. I see, Your majesty is a bit late in awakening, seeing that you are all in a hurry."
