rebirth will be hard to find

The timing of this confrontation between the monarch and his subjects was actually just right, and Chu Yi chose to use such a willful to tough method, but it was not all for a marriage.The foundation of her accession to the throne was not stable when she was young, and she was able to secure the throne so easily with the victory of a personal conquest. Now that all the kings have been eliminated, the clan can't do anything for the time being. Next, she has to face The most important thing is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

The master is strong and his ministers are weak, and the master is weak and his ministers are strong. Imperial power and ministerial power have always been in opposition.

The emperor changed in the previous year, and now almost all those standing in the court can be regarded as "elders of the three dynasties", and veterans like Prime Minister Zhang and Taifu Zou have gone through four dynasties.After all, no matter who it is, they are more senior and more convincing than the fledgling little emperor Chu Yi.

When the country is in crisis, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can unite as one, but it has always been the same as the rich and the rich. After the crisis, everything returns to calm. This power struggle is also a matter of time.

The current situation in the DPRK has not yet developed to that point, but judging from the fact that those ministers can unite to persecute Chu Yi, it is clear that their arrogance and ambition are expanding.If the still young emperor does not stop, then such disputes will happen sooner or later, and even develop to the point of being out of control.

So Chu Yi stood up, starting from his own marriage, his attitude was firm and he would not back down!

Probably the timing was just right, the collision was not considered intense, the officials argued for a while, and seeing that the emperor had no intention of compromise at all, most of them died down.There are only a few stubborn ones who think they are right and refuse to give up.

On the other hand, after Chu Yi left the imperial court, she was not completely ignoring politics. She was still reading the memorials sent to the palace every day, so she still stayed in the imperial study for most of the day.And the ministers who knelt and admonished outside the imperial study room either retreated first and dispersed, and the ones who knelt down finally knelt and fainted and were carried away, so no one was an eyesore in front of her.

His Majesty the Emperor lived her little life with peace of mind, and planned to have another grind with the ministers.Then something happened, and the censor came to the censor to ask for an interview, but Chu Yi still disappeared, but the man couldn't figure it out for some reason, so he made a deadly remonstrance!

Fortunately, there were many guards outside the Imperial Study Room, and the Imperial Forest Army stopped him in time due to their poor knowledge, and there was no scene of blood spattering three feet.Even so, when Chu Yi heard An Yi's report, he was also taken aback, and then couldn't sit still anymore, and met the courtiers for the first time after the dismissal.

The visitor was about forty years old, wearing a crimson official uniform, the official hat on his head was taken off when he died before, and he didn't put it on again now, he just simply combed it in a bun.Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, feeling a little familiar. After a while, he remembered that this was the censor Qin Yan who was famous for his uprightness.

"My lord, Qin Yan, the imperial historian, see Your Majesty." Qin Yan's face was as cold as usual, as if he was not the one who made a fuss about death before.

Chu Yi didn't cry out, just looked at Qin Yan, his expression was not very good.Of course, most people don't look very good when they see Qin Yan, because as his name suggests, he has a bad temper and a bad temper, but he has a reputation for being upright. Ordinary people don't dare to offend him for fear of ruining his reputation.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't call for flat body, so Qin Yan kept bowing and saluting. Even though his face was soaked in cold sweat later, his expression didn't change at all, and his saluting movements didn't change at all, as if he was really a rock. generally.

Chu Yi couldn't bear it, because she knew that Qin Yan was an adversary, and she really couldn't bear to deal with this kind of person.So he picked up a memorial and smashed it on him, angrily said: "Qin Yan, what do you want to do?! Use my pure name for your reputation of being outspoken and dare to advise, so it will last forever?!"

Unmoved, Qin Yan still bowed and said, "I beg your Majesty to accept your advice!"

Chu Yi laughed back angrily: "What remonstrance do you accept? I can't be the master of my marriage anymore?! Everything is up to you, and the courtiers lead the way. Is it the emperor or you? ! Or, how about this puppet I don’t do it? The Chu family’s country is given to you.”

These words are obviously very serious, even Qin Yan can't hold it anymore, he raised his head suddenly, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty is the king of a country, and there has never been a king who has never joked. Don’t export it again! Besides, the Tian family has no personal affairs, and His Majesty’s marriage is also a national event, how can it be trifling?!”

Chu Yi was tired of hearing this kind of talk, seeing Qin Yan still talking about it, he didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and waved his hand to let someone drag him down.Naturally, it is not easy to punish, so he ordered An Yi: "In the past few days, all the officials are not allowed to enter the palace, and you should also give an order at the gate of the palace. When you see those officials, be vigilant, and don't let them be at the gate of the palace again. What kind of remonstrance is there to make a fuss? If it really makes a fuss, first knock people unconscious and send them home."

After this incident, the ministers found out in despair that not only did His Majesty not have the slightest intention of "repenting", on the contrary, it became even worse - she hid even more simply, and many ministers can't even enter the palace gate now!

Looking at the backlog of government affairs, to compromise or not to compromise, the choice seems to be imminent.

************************************************** ***************************

While the officials were still debating whether or not to compromise, the direction of the rumors in the capital suddenly changed somehow.

From the time when Chu Yi Yujia returned to Beijing, restaurants and teahouses in the capital began to tell the story of His Majesty the Emperor's personal conquest.It doesn’t matter if these stories are true or not, but on the battlefield, such bloody stories are always very attractive, and such stories are always very attractive, so this kind of story lasted for several months without the slightest cold reception. Mr. Storyteller Said that restaurants and teahouses still have people going to listen to it every day.

Then I don't know when, Cheng Jie's name gradually appeared in these stories.He led the troops to defend the city, led the troops to attack the camp, and personally killed the enemy's commander, King Guangping. One by one, he completely satisfied people's settings for heroes.

In the eyes of many people, such a young talent should be a general and a marquis, and this is the ending of the story.However, the result was not like this. Such an amazingly talented person only appeared in the storyteller's mouth. Before that, they had never even heard of this person's name!

There has never been a shortage of people who search for the truth in this world, so soon, Cheng Jie's life experience was found out, and the imperial decree of His Majesty the Empress, which had not had time to be announced to the world, was also spread out, and there was an uproar for a while.

Then, the painting style of the stories in restaurants and teahouses suddenly changed, from the exciting achievements of the people, to the lingering love stories of the young general and the young empress.What is love at first sight, what is rescued on the battlefield, what is secretly promised for life, it is said clearly and clearly, as if those storytellers have seen it with their own eyes.

Nowadays, the national customs of Chu are considered open, but it is not allowed for ordinary people to arrange the royal family or even the emperor, but the strange thing is that these stories are spread all over the city, and no one cares about them!So people believed that the story was true even more. Did His Majesty acquiesce without seeing it? !

Then the story has a follow-up. It turns out that the empress and the general were childhood sweethearts, and the general's empress was a companion when she was young!Love at first sight or something was overthrown, and childhood sweethearts became a new story. It is said that the script was printed, not only widely circulated among the people, but also the wives and ladies of those aristocratic families in Beijing.

As for the life experience of the general, under the guidance of the storyteller, people tolerantly expressed that "the hero doesn't ask where he comes from" - his military exploits were made by himself with a knife and an arrow, and his loyalty to Chu would not be because of a traitor. Father changed too!Didn't you see that the whole family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic except his father, the traitor? !

These stories were widely circulated in the capital, but Cheng Zian, who rarely went to restaurants and teahouses, didn't know much about them.She just felt that there seemed to be fewer people blocking her door and abusing her recently. When she went out occasionally, if she met someone she knew, she would get a few strange looks.

Compared with Cheng Zian, the ministers in the court felt even more devastated.Not to mention the emperor's strike in political affairs, after they were busy in the official office, the wives and daughters at home looked at them strangely, as if they were the villains who beat mandarin ducks.

Persevering seems to be completely useless, but because of this inexplicable reason to compromise, Baiguan feels unwilling.At this time, it was just like when they knelt outside the Imperial Study Room to remonstrate, what was needed was an opportunity, or a step.

When things have developed to the present situation, many of them are naturally written by Chu Yi, and she is not stupid, so she will not let this opportunity pass.A few days later, Chu Yi, who had been away from court for half a month, finally announced that she would go to court early again. This time, she also specially ordered Cheng Zian to go to court together. The news was not hidden from anyone, so everyone knew that the incident There should be a closure.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor and his ministers met again.His Majesty the Emperor's face was rosy and he was in good spirits. He had apparently been recuperating well these days.In contrast, although Baiguan looked equally energetic, many of them were now tinged with black and white...

From the beginning of the early morning, Chu Yi didn't say anything else, and said, "Recently, there have been a lot less remonstrances from Zhu Qing, I think you have already figured it out?"

There is no foreshadowing at all, these words are as straightforward as a slap in the face, even if it is the emperor who said these words, the faces of all the officials are not very good.Qin Yan, the official censor, stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, is it a trifling matter for a country to be a major event? It is not the Mingjun's doing to threaten your ministers and so on."

Chu Yi was annoyed when he saw Qin Yan's face at this time, and immediately said bluntly: "Then I will be a foolish king."

Qin Yan's face turned blue, but before Qin Yan could say anything else, Prime Minister Zhang stood up: "Your Majesty is young, but a king should not be rash. What you said today has been recorded in the daily record. How will future generations treat it?!"

Chu Yi didn't want to argue with others about this. She glanced at Prime Minister Zhang, and then she spoke more frivolously: "I can't live a hundred years at most, what will happen to future generations, how will future generations see me, and what does it have to do with me?"

Prime Minister Zhang choked for a moment, he suddenly remembered that the empresses of the Chu Kingdom seemed to be really independent, completely ignoring the opinions of others.Emperor Yonghe defied the world's shame, disguised himself as a man and ascended the throne to proclaim himself emperor. Unofficial history even said that she married his mother's queen.Emperor Jingping kicked her brother to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and threw him into a poor land to die young. She even killed her imperial husband and even exterminated her family. So far, many people say that she is ruthless...

Compared with these two, Prime Minister Zhang suddenly felt that his majesty was just throwing a temper tantrum or something, which was really nothing.

Just after Prime Minister Zhang paused, Chu Yi said again: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you. If you don't worry about some things, I will give you an explanation first." After she finished speaking, she swept her eyes and shouted Said: "Cheng Jie."

Cheng Zian was originally unemployed and would not come to attend the morning court, but Chu Yi had already issued an order, so he was naturally here today, so he immediately stood up and replied politely: "The minister is here."

Chu Yi looked at her, his eyebrows softened, and he asked bluntly: "I want to recruit you to be the emperor's husband, are you willing?"

Cheng Zian couldn't help but feel a little hot when he asked such a question under the watchful eyes of everyone.She slightly lowered her eyes and did not look at others, but she replied firmly: "Of course I am willing."

Chu Yi laughed when she heard the words, her eyes fell on Cheng Zian, and she didn't look at the minister of the court at all: "Then I ask you, will you betray Chu State and me because of your father one day?" ?”

Cheng Zian knelt down on one knee, and replied simply: "I will be loyal to Chu State and Your Majesty for the rest of my life!"

Chu Yi nodded, the smile on his face subsided, and his whole person became serious: "I will remember what you said, and all the ministers present will also remember it. If one day you commit treason like your father Or, if you betrayed me, then all civil and military men in the court can kill you!" After speaking, Chu Yi glanced around and asked, "So, are you satisfied?"

All the ministers looked at each other, all silent.

The author has something to say: Cheng Zian (little entanglement): Your Majesty is the one who proposes, but I am the one who kneels down...
