Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

Chapter 53 The Double Ninth Birthday Banquet

The matter of disaster relief was decided in this way, but no one thought that this disaster relief would involve a lot of troubles. Dayu's six great families all suffered twists and turns, and the famous foreign relative Dong's family fell down overnight.

After the court, Qi Chu went back to the Qianyuan Hall. Today he went to the court on an empty stomach. How could he expect the court meeting to last so long, and it will be noon in an hour, because Qi Chu didn't pass on the breakfast again. Sitting in the outer hall and eating snacks to cushion my stomach, I planned to wait for lunch directly.

Outside the door, Tu Xia came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Grand Master is here and is waiting outside the hall."

Qi Chu asked a little strangely: "Since the grand master is here, why didn't he come in?" Oh, the two of them seemed to have broken up because of the issue of the Zen position last time. Xie Yu has not been to the Qianyuan Hall for a long time. Pretending to report, he should still be angry with him.

Qi Chu secretly laughed in his heart, how did this person secretly poison others and at the same time be angry with others?

To die is indeed to die, and after harming someone, there is no regret in my heart.

Qi Chu sneered in his heart, he wiped the scum from the corner of his mouth with his hands, and clapped his hands to pat off the crumbs on his hands, and went to meet the Grand Master himself with a brisk smile.

Seeing the grand master, he smiled and said: "Why is the grand master so polite today? My Qianyuan Hall is like the grand master's mansion. The grand master can come in as he pleases, and he doesn't have to wait for the transmission outside."

Xie Yu smiled and said: "The gift of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded."

Qi Chu smiled, and entered the inner hall with Xie Yu. He personally poured tea for the Grand Master and handed it to him, and said earnestly, "Could the Grand Master still be angry with me?"

Xie Yu said indifferently: "Your majesty is dedicated to your majesty. Recently, I am very pleased to see your majesty studying hard and listening to the government hard. Why don't you say it happily?"

Qi Chu felt aggrieved and said in a low voice: "The Grand Master knows that I don't like to learn these things all the time. Recently, I have been holding my breath and studying hard for the sake of the Grand Master..."

Xie Yu paused while holding the tea, and said, "For my minister?"

The little emperor said dejectedly: "I know that what I said that day disappointed the Grand Master. After I came back and thought about it carefully, I found that I really can't control this world..." He sighed in distress, and said, " But I want Grand Master to be happy, so even if I don't like it, I will bear it..."

He looked at the grand master with pitiful eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Xie Fan hates seeing him like this the most on weekdays. Hearing the words, the anger in his heart has long since dissipated. He said: "Your Majesty does not need to be very smart to be a king. As long as your Majesty has a tolerant heart and a willingness to learn, all other ministers I will help His Majesty carry it all down." After he took care of the Dong family through disaster relief and slowly eroded the aristocratic family, the world of Dayu will be him and the little emperor. If the little emperor doesn't like to manage the government, then he I took care of it for him, and he would be happy and carefree every day as the Taiping Emperor.

Qi Chu tilted his head slightly and saw the soft and gentle smile in Xie Yu's eyes. He used to feel shy and embarrassed when he saw this kind of smile, but now he just felt cold when he saw this kind of smile. Eyes, when stared at by him with a smile, it will make the person stared at have an illusion of being loved by him.

Xie Fen saw the little emperor looking at him secretly, the smile in his eyes deepened unconsciously, he was about to discuss with him about his crime, but he was caught off guard when he saw His Majesty stretching out his hand towards him, asking for money .

Xie Fan said calmly, "What is this for?"

Qi Chuli said bluntly: "20 taels of silver, Grand Master, today is the first day of the new year! We agreed to give me 20 taels of silver every month!"

Xie Yuqu tapped his head with his index finger, and said: "Your Majesty just said why your majesty is so sweet and cute today, so you are here waiting for me!"

Qi Chu gave him a pitiful look, and said, "Grand Master..."

Xie Yu asked Tong Chen to give him Qi Chu's study reward - 20 taels of silver.

Qi Chu and Ai Ai said: "Grand Master, for the sake of studying so hard recently, can I give you a little more?"

Xie Yu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have taught you so many idioms, I'm afraid that the one idiom you have the most experience with is the one that will make an inch of it!"

Qi Chu said innocently: "September is the grand master's birthday, I want to give the grand master some special gift!"

Xie Fen fell silent suddenly. In fact, he had never had the habit of birthdays. When he was young, his biological mother died of dystocia on the day he was born. His father thought he was unknown, so he seldom saw him once a year, let alone celebrate him. birthday.As for the members of Xie's family, it's okay if they can't remember every day, if they remember, they will only say in front of him that he is Kemu's broom star.

Later, he was so powerful that even though he never celebrated his birthday, people who asked him would not let go of the opportunity to give him gifts, but because he never held birthday banquets, these people just gave gifts to Mrs. The servants of the master's mansion left and never bothered him.

He grew up so big that he never spent his birthday with anyone else.But when the little emperor said that he would celebrate his birthday, although he felt a little awkward, it was more of a vague expectation.

Just when Qi Chu thought that he had said something wrong, Xie Yu suddenly said: "If you want money from me for my birthday, Your Majesty is really good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha? If Your Majesty uses the emperor's tricks of counting my money bags on weekdays If it is used in governing the country, why not become a wise king!"

Qi Chu waved his hands, a little confused: "Grand Master, please forgive me, why can everything go around governing the country..." Then he said with a flattering smile, "Grand Master, although the money is yours, but my heart is mine. Ah! Can you tell me whether money is more precious or my heart is more precious!"

Xie Yu didn't like him at all, and replied with a calm expression: "I think it's all precious."

Qi Chu: "..."

Seeing him deflated, Xie Yu suddenly felt that His Majesty is cute and pitiful at the moment, and for some reason he was in a good mood, and said to Tong Chen: "Tong Chen, give Your Majesty an extra 100 taels!"

There are still a lot of things waiting for him in the previous court, and Xie Yu can't stay long in Qianyuan Hall. Before leaving, he said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, if your intentions do not satisfy the minister, return the minister's money !"

Originally thought that the little emperor would complain about his stinginess, but unexpectedly, the little emperor blinked at him, showed a mysterious smile, and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely give him the gift that the grand master wants the most." .”

Xie Yu was amused by his confident appearance, and said with a smile: "Then I am looking forward to it!"

Qi Chu looked at the back of Xie Yu, who was as magnificent as a general of Yushan, and curled his lips secretly.

...Damn it, it's really cheap and good-looking, 100 taels to buy a throne, there is no better deal in the world than this!

"The Edict of Guilt" was written by Qi Chu himself. After finishing it and polished it for the grand master, he copied it again before going to Mochun to stamp it.

Right now, he is not yet in power, and the daily official documents in the court are based on the queen mother's phoenix seal. The jade seal is not often used, so it is locked in the treasure pavilion behind the Huangji Hall, and is only used when offering sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple.

Mochun took the jade seal out of the Duobao Pavilion and put it on the case table. Qi Chu personally stamped the jade seal on his "Sin Ji Zhao", and was about to stamp his private seal when he suddenly found that he left the private seal in the Qianyuan Hall So I sent Mochun to fetch it, while I waited in Huangji Hall.

After Mochun left, Qi Chu was the only one left in the Huangji Hall. He calmly took out a blank imperial decree from his arms and stamped it on the jade seal.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the Double Ninth Festival again. The ancients attached great importance to the Double Ninth Festival. Early in the morning, Qi Chu followed the grand master to climb the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. After returning to the palace, he rushed to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay his respects.

Because Chongyang is the Respect for the Aged Festival, the palace will hold a Respect for the Aged Banquet on this day, also known as the Shouju Banquet.

This banquet will invite all the relatives of the emperor and senior officials above the age of [-] to come to the palace for the banquet. At the banquet, the imperial court will give them some benefits to reward them for their hard work this year.

As the mascot of the royal family, Qi Chu must of course accompany him... But when he saw Xie Fan among a group of chicken-skinned and white-haired old men, he felt a little strange. I don't like banquets, so why did I mix with a group of old men for the banquet this time?

What makes Qi Chu feel even more weird is that Rou Jia Di Ji, who always only likes middle-aged men in their 20s, is also here!

When Roujia came in, she was followed by a nanny holding a baby in her arms. When the queen mother saw Roujia appearing, she stood up in a daze, and greeted her herself in a daze.

After Rou Jia saluted the Queen Mother, she introduced the child behind her and said, "Queen Mother, this is your grandson Xuan Yan. When my daughter sent Xuan Yan away, the Empress Mother was still recuperating in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Dao has not seen Xuan Yan yet. On the one hand. Today is the Double Ninth Festival of Respect for the Elderly, and the queen mother is now in the world, and the daughter has nothing to be filial to, so I have to bring the queen mother's grandson to see the mother queen, and share the family relationship with the mother." Although Roujia's words were extremely considerate, she His voice was as cold as before, as if he was reciting lines.

The empress dowager was so moved by Roujia's words that her eyes turned red, she patted her hand and said, "Okay..."

Rou Jia asked the nanny behind her to hand the baby to the Queen Mother, and said: "The Queen Mother looks at her grandson."

The Queen Mother took over the baby in swaddling carefully, with a very loving look.

Seeing that the royal family is so harmonious, all the ministers toasted to celebrate: "Congratulations to the queen mother for her grandson!"

The Empress Dowager was sitting on the phoenix seat with Xuan Yan in her arms, and Qi Chu looked at this human comedy of loving mother and filial piety with cold eyes, feeling extremely ironic in his heart.

Empress Dowager Dong is more advanced in thinking than modern people, she favors girls over boys, she dotes on Roujia's daughter in every possible way, even Roujia's son loves her so much, but she is picky and difficult to the original owner, the parent and child, and the original owner has formed such a The cold and insecure temperament has a lot to do with the Queen Mother's indifference... However, soon these have nothing to do with him.

The Empress Dowager liked the grandson Xuan Yan very much, and she didn't let go of her holding her. It was not until Yaotai, the maid beside her, urged the Empress Dowager to take medicine several times, that the Empress Dowager reluctantly left for the time being.

It's boring to eat with a group of old men and old ladies. Qi Chu suddenly remembered that the queen said that there were chrysanthemum lanterns in the palace today, so he took Dai Qiu to sneak out to enjoy the lanterns.

They went out through the side door, Qi Chu looked back and saw that the corridors behind the Hanguang Hall were hung with various chrysanthemum lanterns, which had a special flavor.

Dai Qiu followed Qi Chu all the way down the back corridor, wanted to turn out from the back, but within two steps, she heard suppressed crying, Qi Chu listened carefully, the crying came from the side hall next to her Yes, it seems to be...the queen mother?

Qi Chu made a silent gesture to Dai Qiu. The queen mother was sad at the moment. If she saw him, she was afraid she would get angry again. He pulled Dai Qiu and planned to sneak through the door, but he didn't want to hear a voice The male voice comforted: "Chen You, you cried so much that my heart ached. You have been depressed all day long since... you left. Why are you still so sad when we meet today?"

Daoist Ling Xiao deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, Qi Chu didn't hear the name of the person he said clearly, after who left, the Queen Mother was depressed all day long?Could it be that she still has a boyfriend?

Qi Chu was wondering, and heard the Empress Dowager crying in grief: "If it wasn't for Xie Fan, how could the Ai family and Xuan Yan be separated from their mother and child!"

Mother and child separation?Qi Chu's expression changed drastically.

Still wanting to listen to it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yaotai coming back with a cloak in the corridor on the left. He was terrified, and hurriedly dragged Dai Qiu away.

The two quickly left the Hanguang Palace. What they heard just now was too bizarre. Dai Qiu was very frightened. Looking at His Majesty who was walking forward with a dignified expression, she panicked and said, "Your Majesty..."

Qi Chu turned around, with a solemn and cold face, and said sternly to him: "Today's matter will be rotten in my heart, if there is any news, I'm afraid you and I will die without a place to die! "

Dai Qiu looked at his serious eyes, and immediately fell silent.

The author has something to say: the peak duel between the established actor and the new actor.

Xie Di: Alas, the disciples of the church starved to death of the master.
