Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The emperor was ill, and the little prince and princess's hundred-year-old full moon wine was not very lively. Although it was held as usual, Guo Heng only sat in the Spring Garden for a while, and then went back to Ninghe Palace to rest.He didn't even go to the Glory Pavilion, and only asked the Grand Master and Master Kong to say a few words on his behalf to appease the officials.

Although the queen was not reconciled, there was nothing she could do.She looked at the emperor's pale face and dark purple lips, knowing that he did not

Say panic.

She grabbed the skirt of her shirt, feeling a little flustered, but tried to calm herself down.

"Your majesty, you are sick, how can you do without anyone around you? This concubine is your queen, she should take care of you, and this concubine is willing to take care of you."

Take care of you. "

With Xu Chengze by his side, why does Guo Heng need her?

"Queen, you just gave birth to a baby. You are weak and can't be tired. You should take good care of it. Besides, Xian'er is too young. Although I have a wet nurse, I still don't feel at ease. You should stay with Xian'er! Of course there are people here. Take care, don't worry."

Yan Shi was unwilling to be rejected by the emperor, and was afraid that the concubines in the palace would laugh at her, so she changed her words: "Your Majesty, my sister Xianfei has been in the palace for the longest time and knows the emperor's temper best. Why don't you let her take care of you?"

Concubine Lin Xian didn't expect the queen to point her, raised her head to say something, but Guo Heng said: "I'm sick, I want to be clean, and Imperial Physician Qi is not sure whether my illness will be contagious, so you all feel at ease in your own in the palace."

The Queen Mother knew about Guo Heng's illness, so she said, "Since Imperial Physician Qi said so, Chun'er, let the Emperor rest in peace! There are women and children in the palace, so it's better to be careful."

The queen glanced at the queen mother, and then she gave up.

These days when Guo Heng was ill, Xu Chengze stayed in Ninghe Palace to take care of him.Washing, bathing, changing clothes, and eating are all done by him himself.Although he was afraid that Xu Chengze would be tired, but he was not willing to leave him.

Although the two expressed their intentions, they couldn't help but hug each other, but they were in love, not polite, and they strictly adhered to their identities as monarchs and ministers.Especially Xu Chengze, always restrained himself when Guo Heng was emotional, and reminded the emperor of the fact that he was still a patient.

With Xu Chengze by his side, even if he was unwell, Guo Heng didn't feel sad. Instead, he thought that the poison would go away slowly so that Xiao Ze would stay with him all the time.

Perhaps because of leaving Chongwendian, perhaps because of Xu Chengze's careful care, or perhaps because of the effect of Qi Yunshan's medicine, Guo Heng's symptoms of poisoning became lighter and lighter.Although I still sometimes feel chest pain and suffocation, the frequency of attacks has become less and the symptoms have also eased.

He is the emperor of Liang Kingdom, and the country cannot live without a king. Even if there are cabinet members to help him with some affairs, he has been ill for three days, and the memorial on his desk is more than one foot high.

Guo Heng lazily leaned against the head of the bed, Xu Chengze stuffed a washed strawberry into his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty, I think you are well, and it's time to go to court tomorrow."

Guo Heng swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, and said: "I won't go, I'm not in good health yet. Now that the cabinet is here, I just want to see how efficient they are."

Xu Chengze pouted angrily at the pile of memorials, "Did you see that? The memorials are already so high. If you don't go to court, I'm afraid Master Kong and Taishi Yan will come to Ninghe Palace to kill you."

Guo Heng opened his mouth, and after Xu Chengze stuffed him another strawberry, he said, "No, I've only been sick for three days, and it's time for them to do things. If you don't take the opportunity to show off, when will you wait?"

"That's true." Xu Chengze nodded, "I heard that Grand Master Yan often quarreled with Lord Kong Hou?"

Guo Heng smiled, "Yeah! It's all trivial things. With Changsun Ling around, they won't do anything. However, I heard that Yan Zheng became angry after reading the memorial for two days, and scolded the officials on the list, saying Dare to bring up any trivial matter, hehe, he finally understands that it is not easy for me. Besides, these mediocre officials are not selected by him? Most of them are his people!"

"Well. Take your time, don't rush, find the right opportunity to replace these mediocre officials."

"Well, I'm in no hurry."

Guo Heng ate the fruit, and then slept with Xu Chengze in his arms. Satisfied, he was a little bored, and finally realized his conscience, and said, "Xiao Ze, will you read the memorial with me?"

Xu Chengze didn't shirk it either, he entered the court to help Guo Heng, since he had done all the worst things, helping to read a memorial was no longer worth mentioning.

Guo Heng was very happy to see that he agreed.

He asked Shuiyun to tidy up the bed, put the kang table on the bed, and brought a bunch of memorials over. The two of them leaned side by side at the head of the bed, covered with a thin blanket, and dealt with government affairs together.

After being screened by the cabinet members, it was a bit difficult to hand in the papers.

Xu Chengze discussed with Guo Heng at the beginning, Guo Heng saw that his judgment was more decisive and appropriate than his own, so he just let him go and let him write the solution in the memorial without asking for his own opinion.

Xu Chengze was not hypocritical, so he did as he did.

His efficiency is very fast. After reading the memorial, he took a moment to write out his opinions, and then put the memorials into different categories.

aside.

Guo Heng picked up a memorial, and saw Xu Chengze wrote in running script: "Should be beheaded according to the rate, but the situation is pitiful. An old woman in her [-]s is punished severely with the court stick. If her son is unfilial, he can receive the punishment on his behalf."

He looked at the content of the memorial curiously. It was a man who was violent in a family. When his wife fought back, she accidentally beat the man to death. The county government sentenced her to death.And Xu Chengze said that he was sympathetic, and spared the old woman's life.

Guo Heng curled his lips, why is there such a trivial matter handed over to his desk?

He looked at the instructions of the cabinet members again, strictly governing: murder is against the law, beheaded.Kong Qingshu: Excuse the situation, you can be exiled.No wonder, it turned out that the two main figures in the cabinet did not agree.

Guo Heng knew that the cabinet was nominally composed of five members, but in fact it was Kong Qingshu and Yan Zheng who made the decisions.The two of them disagreed. If Lin Ziming did not express his opinion, the two sides would be a draw.And Lin Ziming was born as a general, so he basically didn't participate in these trivial matters, which is why the number of memorials on his desk is still considerable.

However, these five people are already the best configuration of cabinet members he can think of. He wants to wait a little longer and is not in a hurry to change.And now that he has Xu Chengze, he can read all the memorials!

Guo Heng picked up another memorial, this time the prefect of Shan County impeached Song Xiuqi for corruption and perverting the law, embezzling the government's disaster relief money and food, and extorting a lot of property.

Strict administration: You can send a supervisory censor to investigate the case.

Kong Qingshu: Send special personnel to investigate the case.

Lin Ziming: Corrupt officials, beheaded, without pardon.

The opinions of these people are investigations, and the difference lies in who should investigate.

Xu Chengze instructed: Kong Qingping will investigate the case along the way.

yes!I just let Kong Qingping go to Shan County a while ago, wouldn't it be good for him to investigate?Qingping is an upright person, and he will definitely not be biased, nor will he be bought by the relevant people.

Guo Heng read several memorials in a row, and only felt that Xu Chengze was too powerful, he simply picked up a treasure.He didn't review the memorials himself anymore. Xu Chengze had reviewed one, and he read it while thinking about it. If it was him, how would he handle it? Would it be better than Xu Chengze's?Later he came to the answer, no.

Because he has been in a high position for a long time, his heart has become cold and hard, without Xu Chengze's kindness and flexibility.

He sighed a long time, put down the memorial, just looked at Xu Chengze, what virtue and ability he had, with such a person by his side, he treated him wholeheartedly.

He looked at his slightly wrinkled brows, long eyelashes, focused eyes, and crisp writing, and felt that the more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him.Unable to bear a sigh, he stretched out his long arms and hugged the person.

Xu Chengze was so focused that he didn't know that Guo Heng wasn't working and only looked at him.At this time, being hugged, he put down his pen and laughed. "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

Guo Heng rubbed his face against Xu Chengze's shoulder, and said softly: "Xiao Ze, you are so kind! You are willing to enter the palace, I am really lucky." Xu Chengze was startled for a moment, then laughed.

"Brother Guo Heng, do you remember? I once said that if you become the emperor, I will be your prime minister. You forgot, but I haven't."

Guo Heng also remembered, his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight, "Xiao Ze, I will go to court tomorrow, and I will make you the current prime minister." Xu Chengze glared at him, "Your Majesty, I have just entered an official position. There are already so many people who object to making me a second-rank official. Fortunately, I don’t have to go to court, and they can’t see me, so they don’t care about my existence. If you make me a prime minister, how can they spare me? ?I will be their target whether it is bright or dark, Your Majesty, why don't you let me live a quiet life for a few days?"

Guo Heng also didn't want Xu Chengze to be targeted by Yan Zheng and the others, so he hugged him again, vowing: "Xiao Ze, when I eradicate the Yan Party, I will keep my promise and make you prime minister."

Xu Chengze smiled, "Actually, being the prime minister or not is not that important, if I can share the emperor's worries, my goal has already been achieved.

"

Guo Heng hugged Xu Chengze even tighter, and buried his face in his ear.

"Xiao Ze, you have been helping me, but unfortunately I am too slow. When you entered the palace, when I saw you, I only thought you looked familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you at all. Even though you later pretended to be Yu Qi and showed so much Telling the truth, I guessed a bit, but I still don't want to admit it

you. "

Guo Heng didn't want to admit that the person he liked was the younger brother he grew up with when he was a child. He was afraid that once Xu Chengze's true face was exposed, he would lose this person.But I didn't want to, going around, not only recognized people, but also recognized my own heart.

Guo Heng pressed Xu Chengze under him with force, and kissed his lips.

Only now did he realize that Xu Chengze was so sweet that he couldn't get enough of it even if he wanted to eat it.

Xu Chengze didn't know why Guo Heng was talking so well, but it became sticky again.However, he is a young man at heart, and he can't bear to refuse the person he likes, until Guo Heng got up out of breath and annoyed.

Guo Heng held Xu Chengze in his arms, and whispered in Xu Chengze's ear, "Xiao Ze, when will you let me..."

Xu Chengze, who was ashamed of what he said behind him, blushed even more, stretched out his hand and pushed him down on the couch, and got out of bed by himself.

"Your Majesty thinks that the Emperor is too idle, so you should read the memorial yourself!"

With that said, he put on his shoes and went out.

Guo Heng looked at his back, feeling annoyed in his heart, he had gone too far, Ozawa was angry, right?

But I heard Xu Chengze say outside: "Eunuch Shui, cook some wax gourd and seaweed soup for the emperor tonight, the emperor has been a little angry these two days.

"

"Yes, Master Xu."

Guo Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard their conversation, how could Ozawa be really angry with him?
