Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

Qi Chu always knew that Xie Fan was a hypocrite, but he didn't know that he could be so despicable and shameless when he got angry.

After Xie Yu left the Qianyuan Hall that day, he wrote a booklet to the Empress Dowager overnight, to the effect that his body has not yet recovered, and he is reluctant to deal with the affairs of state, so he really has no time to take care of His Majesty's studies. Therefore, before he recovers, His Majesty's homework will be returned to the Empress Dowager. To take care of.

After Xie Yu's booklet was handed over, the queen mother immediately came to Qianyuan Hall, reprimanded Qi Chu, and beat all the servants around him ten times, and left after a fit.

Although Xie Fan no longer taught him, his studies were not much easier, because the other teachers seemed to have changed their temper overnight.

The young teachers used to take classes in the Buddhist department, and they would leave after class without delay, and never assign any extracurricular homework, but now they seem to be very concerned about his studies, and they don’t say anything after class every day. There is a lot of homework waiting for him, either to make him recite ancient Chinese prose, or to leave him a [-]-word essay.

Qi Chu: "..."

As a poor Chinese, it is difficult to memorize a five-character ancient poem and write an [-]-character vernacular composition, let alone memorize a whole piece of ancient Chinese and write a [-]-character classical Chinese essay.

Who can pinpoint his weakness so clearly, even if he thinks about it with his cerebellum.

He is the emperor, even if he didn't finish his homework or memorize the books, these young teachers didn't dare to punish him and his servants at will. He originally thought that as long as he was shameless, he would be able to handle all these.

But he didn't expect these young teachers to be more shameless than him. Every time he didn't complete his homework as required, he would turn around and report to the Queen Mother.

He was either reprimanded or punished to kneel in front of the queen mother, and his life was extremely miserable.

Countless times Qi Chu hugged the grand master's thigh in his sleep, crying bitterly and begging him to let him go, but when he woke up, he used his strong will to control his steps to rush to the grand master's mansion to confess his love and apologize.

After ten days of suffering, it was time for the monthly court meeting again.

At the court meeting, it was inevitable to meet the grand master. He sat on the dragon chair, and unconsciously began to search for the figure of the grand master.

He was turning his head to say this to Zhou Boshen, perhaps he had noticed Qi Chu's gaze, he looked up at His Majesty, his expression was cold, his eyes were neither avoiding nor avoiding, and he cupped his hands at the little emperor.

Qi Chu looked at him, and couldn't help but think about admitting cowardice. After all, it's a young man who saves face. He looked away, a little at a loss.

When he looked at Xie Yu again, Xie Yu had already turned his head and went to talk to the Minister of War again.

Sitting alone on the dragon chair, Qi Chu watched the courtiers forming cliques and whispering to each other, feeling alienated from the world again.

The excitement is theirs, and he has nothing.

He is just a puppet, and it is the Queen Mother who really listens to the government behind the curtain. After the Queen Mother comes, the court meeting will officially start.

The Empress Dowager is also in a bad mood recently. Her ineffective son just doesn't want to make progress all day long, and the ministers are not easy to save fuel. As soon as he came to the court today, some courtiers impeached his mother's nephew Dong Chen, saying that he When Dongjiang County attacked the Southern Dynasties, they were greedy for meritorious deeds, causing heavy casualties to the army/team.

Qi Chu also remembered that Dong Chen went to Dongjiang County to frighten the Southern Dynasties. It was an issue he discussed during his first court meeting.

Originally, the purpose of the imperial court was to deter the Southern Dynasties as far as possible, and not to love war.However, Dong Chen played a few sticks in Dongjiang and Southern Dynasties, and won many battles, winning consecutive battles. Therefore, he wanted to occupy the territory of the Southern Dynasties and establish an invincible achievement.

Half a month ago, the Ministry of War had ordered Dong Chen to return to the court, but Dong Chen not only did not obey the order of the court, but crossed the river and invaded the land of the Southern Dynasty.

It is a taboo of the government for a military general to refuse to obey the imperial court's dispatch. If he leads troops and does not return to the court for a long time, it is tantamount to conspiracy.

Although Dong Chen is not the eldest son of the eldest son of the Dong family, he is also a descendant after all. He is simple-minded and handsome, and he is very popular with the Queen Mother Dong. Now he is impeached for despising the court and disrespecting the scheduling. , but it is not easy to speak for him at this moment.

So she thought it over and asked: "Dong Chen is the person recommended by the Grand Master, and now he has led his troops abroad and has not returned to the court for a long time, what does the Grand Master think?"

Xie Yu said: "I think that General Dong Chen led the troops out this time and did not return as scheduled, but there is something wrong."

After he finished speaking, Duke Bo Yuan didn't care about court etiquette, and interrupted: "What does the Grand Master mean?!" Could it be that he knew about that?

The Empress Dowager, who was hanging behind the dragon chair and listening to the government, coughed softly. Although Mr. Bo Yuan looked angry, he didn't speak any more.

Xie Xuan secretly looked at the furious Mr. Bo Yuan, and then at the calm Xie Fan, evoking a playful smile.

Xie Fan ignored Mr. Bo Yuan's roar and continued: "Of course, the general's life will not be tolerated. The military situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, fleeting, and only General Dong Chen who has personally experienced the battlefield can grasp it. Too many, I'm afraid it will delay the military plane. And General Dong Chen is now winning consecutive battles. I think this can just dampen the spirit of the Southern Dynasty army. If he is recalled so hastily, the Southern Dynasty will definitely think that we are afraid of them. Don’t dare to attack, then the arrogance will be even more arrogant. This move will also chill the hearts of the generals in the court, thinking that the court does not trust them.”

Mr. Bo Yuan took a look at Xie Yu, and saw that he was very bright, and he seemed to have no grievances. Thinking of his offense just now, he hurriedly said: "I second the proposal, I think what the grand master said is very true."

Xie Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Bo Yuangong next to him calmly, without distinguishing between emotions and anger.

Xie Xuan sneered, he had already seen what Xie Chen was paying attention to, and when he finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and glanced at the officials diagonally below.

The minister of household affairs said: "Empress Dowager, although the situation of the war is of great importance, we should not ignore the comfort of the imperial court. A victory against the Southern Dynasty can certainly promote our country's prestige, but in the long run, it may not be good for the country. It is now winter, I have a long winter and a severe spring drought during the planting period. Because of General Dong Chen's battle, the grain in the national treasury has already been consumed by more than half. If this continues, there may not even be enough reserves for next year's spring plowing."

Another official from the Ministry of Households echoed: "My ministers agree, don't you remember the refugees in the first year of Hong'an?" There was a severe drought in the spring of the first year of Hong'an, and the refugees in Yuzhou had no food to eat. They rose up and almost hit the gate of the capital.

The queen mother heard the words, but did not speak for a long time.

Xie Yu said again: "Master Han's words are different. The refugees in the first year of Hong'an were caused by many causes and effects. Besides, the most direct reason at that time was that the household department's scheduling was unreasonable, and a large amount of food was transferred to Tongzhou, Youzhou, etc. The land where the surplus grain is stored, and the six places that were seriously affected by the disaster, such as Yuzhou, Hanzhou, and Jizhou, have less than half of the grain dispatched by these two places, which has caused refugees to appear in Yuzhou, which is the closest to the capital." Xie Yu shook his head slightly, as if Inadvertently sighed softly, "The faction is prosperous, but the country is not prosperous!"

When these eight words came out, all the officials present were shocked.

"As a general, general Dong Chen should be able to fight a good battle. As for food and grass and ensuring the surplus of spring plowing, shouldn't it be something that the household department should worry about? Now Hu Shilang and Han Shilang don't think about it." How do you guarantee the food and grass in the rear, but because you can’t do your job well, you have to call a truce from the court? Isn’t it because of choking? If the generals have to worry about food and grass every day when they are fighting, what should the Ministry of Household do?” He looked at Han Shilang with a smile on his face, as if looking at an ignorant child.

Han Shilang lowered his head and remained silent.

The rest of the court didn't say anything else, Xie Yu said again: "In my opinion, General Dong Chen has fulfilled his duty as a military commander, so instead of punishing General Dong Chen, he should be named instead."

The Empress Dowager spoke softly, and said, "According to what the Grand Master sees, how should I reward him?"

Xie Yu said: "The minister thinks that General Dong Chen should be named General Mingwei of the fourth rank."

The empress dowager's favoritism towards Dong Chen is well known in the court, so Xie Xuan didn't say much when they were arguing earlier, but he didn't expect that Xie Xuan would do everything in order to curry favor with the Dong family. Seal Dong Chen.

General Mingwei of the fourth rank, if the Dong family succeeds, wouldn't the Dong family have more troops to help? !

Could it be that Xie Fan is crazy, blindly conferring titles on Dong's family, doesn't he understand the principle of raising tigers? !

So Xie Xuan hurriedly stood up and opposed.

Now that Xie Yu proposed that this advantage should not be taken for nothing, Mr. Bo Yuan hurriedly winked at his own people, and many people stood up to support the grand master's words.

The queen mother said: "Dong Chen is the nephew of the Ai family, he is naturally happy that he is so promising, but if the Ai family seals him one after another, it will inevitably make people feel that the Ai family is nepotism, and people will criticize Dong Chen because of the Ai family. Xunlu, whether to confer Dong Chen or not, it is better to leave it to His Majesty to decide."

Although Qi Chu satirized the Empress Dowager Dong in her heart for being cheap and being obedient, she still had to set up a memorial archway.But he said: "I also think the grand master's suggestion is very good, and General Dong should be sealed."

He looked eagerly at Xie Chen, wanting to buy a good one in front of Xie Chen, but Xie Chen was gentle, courteous and humble from the beginning to the end, he lowered his head and didn't even look at him.

Qi Chu was depressed for a while, His Majesty the Emperor, he will not be asked to chase him out of the hall to apologize later, why is he so humble as a person? ! ! !

After finalizing Dong Chen's seal, the Empress Dowager said again: "There is another happy event today, which is not only a royal family affair, but also a state affair, and I will share it with you."

Royal family affairs are still state affairs, could it be that the queen mother is going to draft him again.Qi Chu murmured in his heart, subconsciously went to see Xie Fan, wondering if it was his handwriting.

Xie Fan had a calm expression that had nothing to do with him.

The Empress Dowager said: "Rou Jia is the eldest princess of the late emperor. She never liked to be restrained. The Ai family and the late emperor also pampered her. It's just that the eldest daughter should be married. Now Rou Jia has reached the age of marriage, so the Ai family specially made her a present in the court. She found a good marriage and pointed Rou Jia to Liang Fengmian, the young son of Wu Anbo's family."

Qi Chu: "..." Meow, isn't Princess Roujia the noble concubine who died later?Why did you suddenly get married? ! ! !

The author has something to say: Congratulations to the Queen Mother for getting rid of Xie Fan's relationship again.

One more tonight.
