His Majesty And Ministers

The Zhao family, a few generations ago, could barely be regarded as a middle-class eunuch. Their ancestors were originally slaves born to the founding emperor, and accompanied him on many battlefields. Wealthy home.

But that's all.

In the 17th year of Emperor Wen, Zhao's parents and daughters were ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to participate in the selection of female candidates. From then on, she began her long harem and political career that lasted 60 years.The eldest daughter of the Zhao family, who was by no means noble, relied on her almost natural talent for political strategy. She not only made a bloody way in the harem and became the mother of the world, but also became the number one in the dynasty in the last eight years of her life. Her Majesty the Queen.

This woman who has dominated the world for half her life is also Jing Ye's biological grandmother.

From then on, the Zhao family became one of the big families that stood tallest under the emperor's feet. The Jing family almost fell into decline, but the jade seal passed on to the emperor passed it to his fifth son, Jing Ye. His father Rendi.

Emperor Ren's character is like the word "benevolence" given to him by later generations. He is diligent in governing and loving the people, generous and benevolent, so the country becomes more and more prosperous, the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and the prosperity is peaceful.

That is because of a hard-working father and a workaholic grandmother, the predecessor of such a big killer had been on the throne for five years and had done hundreds of disasters, and the court was able to hold on.

Jing Ye sat quietly on the soft couch, looking down at the notebook that Gu Hong sent.

Gu Hong sat on the side, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really thinks that the more than 20 official silver sent to the southwest was robbed by bandits?"

"Am I a fool?" Jing Ye pressed the paper and frowned, "Or those bandits are fools. There are so many rich people in the world who don't want to be robbed, but they just come to make the emperor suffer."

Gu Hong still smiled: "Exactly."

"There is someone behind here." Jing Ye stared at the notebook, "Tell me, who is it?"

In the evening, an order from His Majesty the Emperor came from the palace—the Emperor wanted to celebrate the birthday of Gu Hong, the servant on the side, and hold a banquet in the Zhaoyang Hall on the evening of July [-]th. Officials of the fourth rank and above must bring their families feast.

"Does Your Majesty want to find out what the Zhao family has said?" Gu Hong asked with a smile.

"kindness."

"Okay." Gu Hong nodded with a smile: "Although His Majesty has plans, I also respect Your Majesty's will."

"Well, this matter..." Jing Ye suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "You don't need to say thank you."

"I have one more thing I want to tell Your Majesty."

"what?"

"The minister's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month."

Jing Ye: "!"

Zhao House.

As soon as Zhao Mingde returned to the mansion, he went to the house of his wife, Mrs. Xu, for dinner.After the meal, he turned away the maids and servants in the room, leaving only the baby son, and asked Xu Shi in a deep voice: "You promised Miao Ling to go to the birthday banquet in the palace?"

"That's right." Mrs. Xu pulled out the golden steps from her temples, leaned over to tease the baby in the cradle, "She wanted to go, so I promised her."

Zhao Mingde said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant! She's a girl who went to see her former... lover, if she couldn't hold back and made some disrespectful act, would she still have a reputation?"

"What former lover!" Xu clapped the golden step on the table, "If it wasn't for the emperor, Miaoling would have been the third young wife of the Gu family, so wouldn't the daughters in the world be envious and jealous? Now that the Gu family has retreated to the southwest, Gu Hong Actually entered the palace, Miao Ling insisted on looking down on others, the husband of our Zhao family's daughter, can't he still marry, and later bring down the emperor..."

"Shut up." Zhao Mingde immediately lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Based on your words, I can't let her enter the palace! Tell her to study calligraphy and piano at home, don't even think about it Think!" Then he flung his sleeves and left.

The baby was frightened by the quarrel between the two, and burst into tears with a "wow".Mrs. Xu hurriedly sat down and coaxed him with a rattle, gritted her teeth and looked in the direction Zhao Mingde was leaving.

Zhao Mingde couldn't calm down, he wanted to spend the night in the study, but he changed his pace and went to Mrs. Meng Qiucui's.

Meng Qiucui was originally the daughter of a seventh-rank official in Zhengzhou.Zhao Mingde passed through Zhengzhou once, and the official surnamed Meng asked a matchmaker to propose being a concubine.This happened often, and he was not moved.But this girl was indeed very beautiful, she was not an ordinary girl, after mentioning it repeatedly, he was still moved.

Meng Qiucui also gave birth to a daughter for him, who is two years younger than Zhao Miaoling, just the age to be in her boudoir.

In the evening, after the couple's business, Meng Qiucui nestled in his arms and mentioned the matter of letting his daughter accompany him into the palace to celebrate her birthday.

Zhao Mingde frowned: "You also have this intention?"

Meng Qiucui curled her lips: "Miaorong is also the master's daughter, now that she is older, she should make an appointment for marriage, go out to see the world, and show the wives of each family, not to say that it is settled, but it is also a tie. .”

Zhao Mingde was silent for a while, then nodded.

Meng Qiucui's eyebrows and eyes curved, and the corners of her bright red lips curled up.

In the Palace of Peace.

Jing Ye paused holding the tea: "Fiancee?"

"Yes." Eunuch Ye nodded, "At that time, both the Gu and Zhao families had this idea, but before they could tell, Mr. Gu entered the palace, and the Gu family also retreated to the southwest."

Jing Ye looked at the fog and was stunned: "The eldest daughter of the Zhao family... seems to be very famous in the capital."

"Yes." Eunuch Ye nodded again and spoke, but suddenly hesitated, "The former...the eldest daughter of the former Dali Temple Minister..."

Jing Ye frowned.

Ye Mao looked at his face, and there was no anger, and then continued: "...as famous as this Miss Zhao family, both are talented and beautiful ladies. The two families have joined the clan again, so the two are called together. It's called 'Shuangshu of the Zhao Family'."

The eldest daughter of the former Minister of Dali Temple is the Qingmei Qingmei girl who is Comrade Li Tingqiu who left for the southwest.

What a great job.Jing Ye sighed, all the bad intentions aimed at male pets were all killed.As for the young lady of the Zhao family who almost married Gu Hong, he remembered that she hadn't been married yet.

It is so sad that the non-qing does not marry the non-jun and does not marry.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Ye approached furtively, "Then if Mr. Gu asks about it, you must not let him know that the slave said it."

Jing Ye's eyes twitched: "What?"

Ye Mao: "Your Majesty! What if..."

Gu Hong opened the bead curtain and walked in: "What if?"

Eunuch Ye: "!!!!!!"

Jing Ye froze: "Qing... When did you come? There was no word from outside."

"I didn't come early." Gu Hong smiled softly, and his eyes glanced at Ye Mao who was trying to take a step back and pretend to be a quail. "I've been here since the phrase 'fiancee'."

Isn't that all...

Ye Gonggong's face is like dishes.The little eunuch who followed behind and brought Gu Hong in looked up, looked at Ye Mao who was smiling awkwardly, and silently covered his face.Master, I really didn't do it on purpose.

Gu Hong didn't pursue it further, but just sat beside the emperor with the medicine in his hand: "Your Majesty, I've taken the medicine."

Jing Ye stepped back: "Why do I have to drink again?"

Gu Hong chuckled: "Your Majesty is too impatient. There is a saying in the past: 'Illness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread.' It's not Laojun's elixir, how can it be so effective. If your majesty wants to recover soon, come and open your mouth .”

You are bringing a child.

His Majesty the Emperor took the medicine bowl directly, looked at it for a long time, and then frowned and took a few sips. He was so bitter that he wanted to stick out his tongue, but because of the noble and solemn image he wanted to maintain, he still insisted on it. Swallowed down.

Gu Hong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is it suffering?"

Jing Ye glanced at him and said solemnly: "Well, it's okay."

"That's it." Gu Hong frowned, "The minister ordered the dining room to take the licorice on the prescription. Using it to boil the medicine would suppress the medicine's properties."

Jing Ye: "..." Wait, what does this mean!

Sure enough, I still hold a grudge!
