The emperor is embarrassed

It is really indecent for the cabinet clan to compete with the empress dowager and the former son.

Originally, the Empress Dowager Wei ordered them to write a letter of apology, but she didn't say much after that, and everyone thought it was over.Naturally, some people secretly calculated: Since His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill, the authority of the Empress Dowager has deteriorated day by day, otherwise the cabinet and clan would not dare to be presumptuous and rude in front of the Empress Dowager.

If His Majesty the Emperor is still in power, how can this be the case?

There are not a few people who think this way.

However, the publication of the new issue of "Royal Press" has completely changed people's views on the decline of Queen Mother Wei.

The headline on the Y front page of "Royal Newspaper" published the excerpts of the first assistant of the cabinet, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Lu Angong Ji Anhou. Empress Dowager Wei commented: In the past, the emperor did not do such a thing.Today, the Shou'an Palace is in charge of the government, and the behavior of the royal family of the cabinet is rude and unrestrained, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.The reasons for what he said and did are puzzling.

Xu San's feet were already on the mend, but when he saw what the Empress Dowager Wei had said in the "Emperor Newspaper", he was so frightened that he submitted a leave application form, and together with the leave application form, there was also a letter of apology again.

Li Pingzhou has never been so humiliated in his life, and with Li Pingzhou's status, he regards his face as his life.Although there was a dispute with the clan in front of the queen mother, it was not Li Pingzhou who took the lead, and Li Pingzhou was ashamed to follow.

Seeing that Xu San complained of illness, Li Pingzhou followed suit with the resignation note.

Ming Zhan likes to use agarwood, but Empress Dowager Wei prefers the fragrance of fruits, trees and flowers. The green fragrance in the side hall of Xuande Hall is faint. Li Xiang is going to resign now, does Li Xiang think that the emperor's illness will never be cured?"

He was talking about asking for resignation, but the Empress Dowager Wei changed the topic to His Majesty's dragon body with a casual sentence.Li Pingzhou didn't dare to say "no" no matter how brave he was.What's more, Li Pingzhou always thought that he and Ming Zhan were quite compatible with each other.

Li Pingzhou couldn't feel this kind of emotion when Ming Zhan was in power in the past.Now that Empress Dowager Wei is in charge, although Empress Dowager Wei and Ming Zhan are biological mothers and sons, their ruling styles are completely different.

Ming Zhan is smart, but very direct. He will tell you clearly what he wants.

Empress Dowager Wei is good at speeches surrounded by clouds and mountains and mists. Its original meaning requires you to guess for a long time, and you still don't know whether the guess is right or not.Don't look at the Empress Dowager Wei who has only been in power for two months, and Li Pingzhou's hair started to fall out again.

Therefore, Li Pingzhou sincerely hoped that Ming Zhan would recover quickly from the bottom of his heart, and immediately said earnestly, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and kind, and he will be blessed by the heavens. He will surely recover soon, and the dragon will rule the world for thousands of years."

"Yes, then Li Xiang is going to resign with me now. In the future, he will treat the emperor well. How does Li Xiang think he should explain to the emperor?" The Queen Mother Wei said calmly, "The emperor has been in the throne these days. Mention, Li Xiang is a veteran of the four dynasties, and his actions are stable, and the state affairs are entrusted to Li Xiang, the emperor is at ease."

"In all dynasties, the cabinet has never had the right to criticize and refute. The emperor's trust in you, Li Xiang thinks, is this memorial of your resignation worthy of the emperor?"

At Li Pingzhou's age, experience, and status, he is naturally not thin-skinned.However, Li Pingzhou's face was hot when asked by Queen Mother Wei, and his heart felt weak.

Ming Zhan's trust in the cabinet was indeed unprecedented and unprecedented, so that Li Pingzhou had a bit of difficulty coping with Queen Mother Wei's questioning.However, Li Pingzhou is the prime minister of a country after all. He said in a deep voice, "Your majesty's kindness to my minister is as great as a mountain, but my minister is disrespectful in front of the empress dowager. The empress dowager's majesty is so embarrassing. I am really ashamed of my trust in your majesty."

Li Pingzhou kowtowed respectfully and fell on the ground, "I am so ashamed that I really don't deserve to continue to be the Prime Minister." The empress dowager Wei's move was too cruel.It is common for ministers to write apologies.However, publishing the apology book in the "Royal Press" is not only a shameful thing, it also loses Li Pingzhou's prestige as prime minister.

This is what Empress Dowager Wei meant.Although the power of the cabinet and the clan needs to be balanced, the power of both sides needs to be weakened to a certain extent, so that one can ebb and flow and the authority of the Empress Dowager Wei can be highlighted.Empress Dowager Wei said, "Since you are rude to me, in fact, in my opinion, this is just a small and private matter that has nothing to do with state affairs. Li Xiang insists on putting state affairs under private affairs. Is this what Li Xiang said? Is the emperor's kindness in return like a mountain? If so, I'm sorry I can't understand."

"The duty of the Son of Heaven is nothing more than propriety. But the minister was rude to the empress dowager, the minister really..."

"Disgrace is a small matter, and besides, I have already fined you and waited for your salary, so that's all." Empress Dowager Wei interrupted Li Pingzhou, "Now that Prime Minister Li insists on resigning, it seems that he is dissatisfied with my fined salary?"

"I have absolutely no intention of this."

"I don't intend to do so, please don't mention your resignation again."

Suzhou.

Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei flipped through the new issue of "Royal Newspaper", giggling and giggling from time to time, "Baojiao Li thought my mother was as good-tempered as me, but this time I lost my lord."

Ruan Hongfei said, "If Sister Wei let her go lightly, wouldn't it be despised? Li Pingzhou has always cherished his reputation, and I'm afraid he will resign."

"It's just a gesture." Ming Zhan didn't take it seriously at all. When he gave the cabinet the right to refute Zhu's approval, Li Pingzhou couldn't easily put down the pick no matter what.

"I'm afraid Xu San has to take advantage of his foot injury to rest for a while." Ming Zhan flipped through the second page, "Li used to be coquettish and Li often made troubles. Use him to lift him up. However, he is too clever, no better than Coquettish Li, no matter how difficult it is, he can head on top, at least without losing his principles."

"This is exactly what makes Li Pingzhou respectable." Ruan Hongfei and Li Pingzhou once had a common enemy—Queen Fang. Therefore, although the two had no friendship, Ruan Hongfei had a good impression of Li Pingzhou after serving in court for many years.

"That's right." The rest are some consumer reading materials for food and clothing. Ming Zhan is not interested, so he puts down the newspapers. It takes young and vigorous people to force Luo."

Just as Ming Zhan wanted to discuss the court affairs with Ruan Hongfei, Yaoguang came in to report: Sir, Mr. Fu is here.

Mr. Fu?

Ming Zhan looked at Ruan Hongfei, "Who is it?"

"Fu Ning." Ruan Hongfei said, "Please come over to Fu Ning, it's a rare coincidence that he is also in Suzhou."

Ming Zhan thought about Fu Ning's age, there are very few people in the world who are as good-looking as his Fei Fei, but when Fu Ning came in, Ming Zhan was still taken aback.

It's not that Fu Ning is young, but there are definitely people who practice martial arts who are mentally complete.Fu Ning's eyes are bright, looking at them makes people feel friendly, and it doesn't have the sharpness that people who practice martial arts often have.If Ruan Hongfei hadn't mentioned Fu Ning earlier, Ming Zhan would never have recognized that this person was a peerless master.

"When did Brother Du return to Suzhou, I don't know." Fu Ning was born in the aristocratic family.

Ruan Hongfei and Ming Zhan were enjoying the shade in the courtyard, got up and gave up their seats, and said with a smile, "I thought you came here because you got a letter, so it was a coincidence."

Fu Ning glanced at Ming Zhan, "Who is this brother?"

"Du Xiaopang."

Ming Zhan laughed twice, and greeted Fu Ning, "Brother Fu, I often hear Lao Du mentioning you."

Fu Ning took a serious look at Ming Zhan, so that Ruan Hongfei could introduce him personally, and he looked like someone who had an equal relationship with Ruan Hongfei. Fu Ning did not dare to underestimate Ming Zhan, and smiled back, "Brother Du." At Ming Zhan's age, Fu Ning took out a piece of jade from his bosom, and gave it to Ming Zhan as a meeting gift with both hands, "Brother fat, it's really simple when we meet for the first time."

Ming Zhan, a money fanatic, quickly took it with both hands, and his affection for Ning was incredible. He bent his eyes and smiled, "Brother Ning is too polite." It's short of money.Therefore, Ming Zhan didn't care too much about Fu Ning calling him chubby.

"Brother Ning, you and Lao Du are close friends. Since you are in Suzhou, you must stay longer." Ming Zhan held Baoyu in his arms and enthusiastically asked Fu Daxia to stay.

Fu Ning took the fragrant tea from Yaoguang, and seeing Ming Zhan directly being Ruan Hongfei's master, he knew in his heart that Ming Zhan was Ruan Hongfei's best friend, and he was no outsider, "I originally wanted to borrow a house, and I didn't want to happen to be old Du you." Now, I won’t be polite to you.”

"Brothers, you don't need those superficial politeness." Ruan Hongfei said, "If you need help, just ask."

Fu Ning sighed, but did not speak again.

Ming Zhan said to Ruan Hongfei at night, "I thought being a hero would fly around every day, so he might be so chic and at ease. It seems that Fu Daxia has a lot of troubles."

Ruan Hongfei smiled, "Fu An is the patriarch, and because of Fu Ning's reputation, he treats Fu Ning like a rare commodity. Otherwise, according to the wealth of the Fu family, Fu Ning would not have come to hide from me."

Ming Zhan was obviously seeing a peerless master for the first time, and most of Ming Zhan's imaginations in the past were realized in Fu Ning.

Fu Ning likes Ming Zhan's ingenuity and innocence, and talking to Ming Zhan is quite soothing.

"Brother Fu, you are so good at martial arts, can you teach me three moves and two moves, temporarily suppressing the enemy or something." Ming Zhan looked at Fu Ning expectantly.It happened that Fu Ning was making tea, Ming Zhan poured a cup of tea for Fu Ning with great eyesight.

Fu Ning took over the tea ceremony, "There are no moves in the world that can be tested a hundred times. Besides, little fat brother, when you look at your slack legs, you know that you have no skill at all. It's just a trick after learning it. It's very useful. I think it's more useful for you to bring more guards than if you learn martial arts."

Ming Zhan squinted his eyes immediately, "It seems that you, the number one master of the Dafeng Dynasty, are nothing more than that." He took the tea from Fu Ning's hand and drank it by himself.

Although Fu Ning's martial arts are high, he was not born in a reckless manner. He was not angry when he saw Ming Zhan snatching tea with his hands. Instead, he laughed and said cheerfully, "Little fat brother, you are too realistic."

"I poured you tea for nothing." Ming Zhan said, "I think it's better to learn from Lao Du than to learn from you."

Fu Ning smiled and said, "Brother Du's martial arts is good, but it's a pity that he can't concentrate on martial arts. You are familiar with Brother Du, but you want to learn martial arts from me, you must have bumped into a wall in front of him."

Ming Zhan shook his head, didn't take Fu Ning's words to heart, poured himself another cup of tea, and said to Fu Ning, "In my opinion, although your martial arts are good, you haven't reached the level of a master."

Fu Ning raised his eyebrows, "So what do you say?"

Ming Zhan rolled his eyes, held his airs, sipped his tea and said, "Actually, many things in the world are interlinked. There is a saying that you can't live without being crazy. If you have high martial arts skills, it means you are talented and suitable for learning martial arts. However, if you want to reach the realm of a master in everything, you must focus on it, go beyond it. Like you, you have too many distracting thoughts and concerns, so naturally you are still a little bit short."

Fu Ning sniffed the fragrance of tea, smiled and glanced at Ming Zhan, "Although little chubby brother doesn't know martial arts, he has good knowledge."

"That's right." Ming Zhan raised his chin and poured two more cups of tea, "I used to read that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. A sage can connect the emperor's governing the country with cooking under the kitchen. I knew that the world Things are pretty much the same.”

"Although the principles are similar, there are very few people who can really gain the Tao."

"If you don't become a fairy, what do you want to do?" Ming Zhan poured another cup of tea and sipped it, "There are very few people who can be clear of their hearts, and they still want to be enlightened? It's too ambitious."

Regarding Ming Zhan's repeated pursuit of Fu Ning's warm affairs, Ruan Hongfei knew it well, and asked jokingly, "Now that I'm desperately trying to make friends with Fu Ning, is it because I want to ask Fu Ning?"

Ming Zhan had a serious face, "I see that Fu Ning is a good person, and I want to enlighten him."

"You just don't want to be mean," Ruan Hongfei said.

Ming Zhan grabbed Ruan Hongfei's shoulder, "Feifei, Fu Ning is very important to the Fu family."

"My family always has a certain kind of love." Ruan Hongfei squeezed Mingzhan's fat face, "Fu Ning is devoted to the sword, and the sword is a weapon. If you don't have the heart to kill, it will be difficult to achieve peerless swordsmanship."
