The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Zhao Zhang was busy until midnight, and the earth dragon in the imperial study room was too hot, he only felt dry mouth, and his heart became irritable for no reason.

At this time, he usually slept directly in the palace, and it was only a few hours before the court, but today he really wanted to see Shen Jia, so he put on a cloak and went to Shen's mansion through the secret passage.

Shen Jia knew that after the queen mother returned to the palace, Zhao Zhang would not come here often, so she took a bath and fell asleep directly.

Zhao Zhang came in in the dark, took off his clothes and went to bed in the dark. Shen Jia felt in a daze that someone was lying down beside him, and habitually moved in, and when the person lay down, he hugged his waist again and fell into a deep sleep. up.

Zhao Zhang originally wanted to talk to him, but seeing that he was sleeping well, he couldn't bear to disturb him, and when he came back here, he felt a lot more relaxed, the feeling of irritability and dullness was gone, and he soon fell asleep .

The next day, Shen Jia woke up first, and couldn't remember when Zhao Zhang came back anyway. Seeing that it was almost time, he put his hand into Zhao Zhang's underwear and touched his chest.

Through a thin layer of cloth, Zhao Zhang pressed his hand and asked hoarsely, "Are you trying to get me to dismiss the court?"

Shen Jia pinched his chest, smiled wickedly and said: "If you don't want to go to court, I will accompany you to the end." In such a cold weather, he wished he could lie under the blanket and sleep for a while.

Zhao Zhang suppressed him and kissed him hard for a while. The two grown men had a strong impulse in the morning, but Zhao Zhang is not a person without willpower.

He looked down at his body, turned around to get dressed in embarrassment, turned his back to Shen Jia and said, "I've been too busy recently, did you let you stay alone in the vacant room for too long, so I thought about it?"

"Don't you want to?" Shen Jia didn't hide her desire, he and Zhao Zhang were like husband and wife, how normal it is to have normal biological needs.

Zhao Zhang put on his clothes, wiped his face with the cold water in the basin, woke up completely, and then put his cold hands into the bed, so cold that Shen Jia had to crawl out of the warm bed.

"I'll come back earlier tonight, let's discuss the mysteries of the body. Also, the queen mother already knows your identity. You should be careful when you go out recently. If someone announces you to enter the palace, you can find an excuse to refuse. Zhen Recently, I will keep an eye on the Compassion Ning Palace, but if it is a serious occasion, I will not be able to take care of you."

Shen Jia touched his neck and asked worriedly: "Will the Queen Mother kill me?"

"She won't, and she doesn't dare." If the Empress Dowager really did this, then the only remaining mother-child relationship between them would be completely consumed.

"That's good. Although I really want to be filial to her old man, it's fine if she doesn't give me a chance." Shen Jia can take it easy. The relationship between him and Zhao Zhang has made him very satisfied. He reckoned It was only a matter of time before his father was taken down. As long as Zhao Zhang didn't appear in front of him for a while, he would always think about him, just like thinking about his own son.

Zhao Zhang never put on airs in front of Shen's father. Although he didn't try to please him too much, but Shen's father was very satisfied with Zhao Zhang, especially compared with several sons-in-law, he wished to have another daughter.

Zhao Zhang left a kiss on his cheek and patted his face, "Don't worry about it, I will settle it, get up quickly, don't be late, don't think you are standing far away and I don't know that you have sneaked in several times Slip through the door."

Shen Jia said with a sneer: "You don't know, the position near the door is the wind, blowing it makes me almost immortal, of course you can't feel it when you sit high above, I'm a low-ranking official, it's not very important anyway Well."

Zhao Zhang was not a harsh emperor, the Golden Luan Hall was set on fire as soon as winter came, but it is impossible for such a big palace to be as warm as spring, especially near the doors and windows, who is not exposed to cold wind every day?

Zhao Zhang left without saying anything, Shen Jia dressed and ate very quickly, and then entered the palace in a carriage.

Regardless of the official position, one must get off the carriage when arriving at the gate of the palace, and then enter the palace on foot. This year, the emperor was sympathetic to the veterans, and provided soft sedan chairs for some elderly officials, which was praised by the government and the public.

Shen Jia braved the wind and snow and walked towards the Golden Luan Hall. The square was empty and the wind was blowing from all directions. Seeing other people sitting in soft sedan chairs, she wished she could squeeze in cheekily, but she had a personality burden and couldn't do such a thing.

A young eunuch ran quickly, bumped into Shen Jia when he passed by, put a small hand warmer into Shen Jia's hand, and then ran away without looking back.

Shen Jia raised her eyebrows, she didn't know if this was Zhao Zhang's special arrangement, or the palace people did it to please him, but holding a stove in her hand is really comfortable.

After walking for a while, another young eunuch bumped into him. This time, he was offered a cup of hot milk tea with a straw. Because he couldn't spare his hands, he could only hold it with one hand. It was quite a big cup.

He had presented the recipe to the imperial dining room, and even the straw was made by him, so that Zhao Zhang could have a sip at any time when he was approving the memorial, without worrying about soiling the memorial, so Zhao Zhang must have arranged these two releases today.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the hot milk tea, feeling his whole body warm up.

When he reached the side hall of the Golden Luan Hall, he had just finished drinking a cup of milk tea, so he stuffed the heater into his sleeve, and waited to enter the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Flat body." Zhao Zhang clapped his hands, and a group of eunuchs came in with thick cushions outside the door, and placed a cushion for each official's feet.

Before everyone understood what was going on, they heard the emperor say: "The weather is cold, and at this time of the year, many Ai Qing's body can't bear it, so I specially give you a seat, I hope all Ai Qing can protect their bodies and contribute to the court." .”

Shen Jia lowered her head and studied the cushion. It was a round cotton cushion with straight flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on it. It seemed that it was a handicraft from the harem. It was difficult for Zhao Zhang to find so many soft cushions at once.

The ministers were moved to tears and shouted long live, but they didn't know that their long live was just to save their loved ones from the suffering of the wind and cold.

Shen Jia really felt that she had to charge the civil and military officials for their hard work. Look at the benefits he has won for everyone, this is not so easy to do.

There was no major event in the early morning, and good news came frequently from the war in the northwest. The team that went south to suppress the bandits probably hadn't arrived at their destination, so there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, the queen mother's birthday was approaching, and there was a sense of joy inside and outside the court. The war brought The gloom and gloom dissipated a little.

"Your Majesty, on this Empress Dowager's birthday, envoys from various countries have arrived in the capital one after another. Even the envoys from Wacha and Tatars have come, and they have brought a long list of congratulatory gifts. They are very sincere. I heard from the leader of the envoys that Wacha seems to be interested in peace talks, but due to the deterrence of the Tatars, he dare not ask for peace openly. The minister thought that he should send someone to secretly contact the Wacha envoy. If the alliance between the two countries can be broken, the war in the northwest will definitely end as soon as possible!" The Minister of Honghe Temple stood up and said that many of Honghe Temple can only overlap with the Ministry of Rites, and it is also a low-key yamen on weekdays. It is only when foreign envoys come to court that they have a little sense of existence, and because of this, Honghe Temple Si Qing wanted to seize this opportunity, if they could accomplish this, they would have made great contributions to Honglu Temple.

Zhao Zhang really cared about this matter, and left Honglu Temple Minister and several ministers to continue to discuss in the imperial study. The meaning was naturally to persuade Waci to withdraw from the alliance, surrender to the Jin Dynasty, and then become a subordinate state of the Jin Dynasty. Gong, as for the Tatars, they are the mortal enemies of the Jin Dynasty, and they must fight to the end.

"Your Majesty, I don't know which clan will be sent to receive the envoys this time?" Although there will be people in Honglu Temple who are dedicated to receiving foreign missions, their status is not high enough. Only the royal family members will be the hosts to show their status. Hospitality.

But looking at the royal family, the older princes are basically not capable. They are good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but they are not good enough to do serious things, and they may even embarrass the Dajin royal family.

The princes of the younger generation are pretty good, at least they seem to be making progress at the moment, the king of Beichen and the king of Heyang are still serving in the court, and everyone still wants to choose one of these two to be the chief envoy.

But Zhao Zhang didn't choose them, but appointed Prince Rui as the host ambassador, "He's not too young, it's time to get in touch with political affairs, let him get in touch with these old fritters from neighboring countries first, In order not to be unable to cope with such a scene in the future."

Everyone knew that the emperor wanted to make Prince Rui the crown prince, but no one thought it was feasible. The emperor was still young, so how could he not have a child of his own?When the serious prince grows up in the future, how could he accept his cousin as the superior? It will definitely be another cruel battle for succession.

But now, it is difficult for everyone to refute, after all, the highest status in the royal family is Prince Rui.

"Royal family, Prince Rui's status is high enough, but after all he is still a child, wouldn't it be inappropriate? The envoys are all burly men, and I'm afraid there will be some slights when they see Prince Rui." Xu Shoufu said everyone's wishes. Heartfelt.

"If I send the future prince to receive them, will they still have some complaints? Then I'm afraid I can only ask them to leave the capital. Also, let Prince Rui try the matter of persuading them to surrender. He is young, and it is not easy to cause Tatars to offend. Suspect."

"The emperor is wise." Although the ministers disagreed in their hearts, they didn't think it was a bad thing. It would be good to let Prince Rui go to experience it. Even if it failed, just a child, it would not be considered a loss of the prestige of Da Jin.

Coming out of the imperial study room, several adults discussed quietly, "The emperor really wants Prince Rui to be the crown prince?"

"The emperor has reminded everyone more than once. Unless someone in the harem can give birth to the eldest son of the emperor at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will not change his mind."

"Hey, the empress has not heard any good news since she gave birth. I'm afraid it's difficult. Since there is only one empress in the harem, how could a prince be born?"

"The point is that the emperor doesn't want to visit the harem. Otherwise, even if there are no concubines, wouldn't there be fewer maids in the harem? It is not uncommon for palace ladies to be in charge in the past. As long as the emperor doesn't want to, who can conceive a dragon heir?"

"I heard that many countries have sent beauties here this time. I only hope that they can really impress the emperor. As long as the harem can break the status quo of being favored by only one person, it will not be difficult for the emperor to accept more concubines in the future."

"The so-called beauties in those small countries are very vulgar. How could the emperor like them?"

"That's not necessarily the case. There are all kinds of beauties in the Western Regions. It's not that adults have never met them. I think such rough and unrestrained beauties may succeed in attracting the emperor's attention. Those women in the harem are still too conservative."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, it will be a blessing for the imperial court if it can enrich the harem!"

Xu Shoufu stroked his beard. He always felt that something was wrong in the harem. Is the relationship between the empress really good?But according to the news sent by his eyeliner, the number of times the emperor has entered Fengxi Palace is not many, and he hardly stays overnight. Is such a relationship considered dedicated?

But apart from this explanation, what other reason could make the emperor leave the harem empty and not accept concubines?

In the court hall, there are countless papers for inviting the emperor to accept concubines every day, but the emperor never pays attention to them. Besides the deep love for the queen, is there any other reason to refuse to accept the concubine?

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it. Xu Shoufu left the palace with a suspicious face. When he returned home, he heard that his wife was conscripted into the palace by the queen mother. He suddenly felt that maybe the queen mother would be a good breakthrough. It's easy to refuse.

It seems that he has to choose a few suitable women from the clan. His own children are not suitable to enter the palace as a concubine, and the granddaughters of the family are all married at the right age.

There are quite a few families who want to take advantage of this birthday banquet to send people to the harem. Every woman who is beautiful and talented has been selected, and they will use the opportunity of birthday worship to be brought before the emperor. I don’t know which one will be able to be seen by the emperor in the end. bingo.

In fact, as long as the queen opens the draft, the harem will not be so withered, but the queen is jealous, no matter how others persuade her, she will never give in. Now that the emperor likes her, he naturally spoils her and lets her go, but men know men best, which one? Men don't steal?Which man does not love beautiful women?How long can the queen hold on to the grace?

Even Shen Jia had heard about these undercurrents, and even made fun of Zhao Zhang because his harem was empty, and it seemed that the ministers were anxious, wishing to seduce the emperor himself, and I am afraid that after a while It is rumored that the emperor is inhumane.
