The hearts of the courtiers froze, and all of them stopped watching the excitement, and all knelt down to salute.

Yan Chengcai glared at Zhou Dai, and said silently, our account will be settled later!

Zhou Dai's stubborn temper came up, and he smiled coldly, where is there any fear?

Yan Zheng looked at his bastard son, and felt disheartened for a moment. He worked hard to get the seat today. Why are the sons and daughters here to hold back?

Guo Heng sat on the dragon chair, squinted down at the officials, and did not speak for a long time.The officials knelt obediently, and no one dared to raise their heads or speak out.

He looked at Yan Zheng, only to see Yan Zheng sitting at the head of the officials, with his head slightly lowered, keeping his composure.snort!Old fox, I will definitely pull you down from this seat!

He glanced at the group of officials, and said lightly: "Get up!"

"say,,

疋.

The ministers stood up, and some boldly raised their eyes to look at the emperor who was seated above him, only to see his face sinking like water, his eyes glanced coldly, and he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Guo Heng said: "I am late today, I would like to apologize to all the ministers. The reason why I am late, you must not have thought of." The ministers had already known the news, but they were all silent.

Guo Heng's voice was flat, without much emotion.

"Yesterday was the first day of the new year. I went to the Empress of Kunning Palace as usual. What I didn't expect was that after drinking a cup of tea from the Empress, I felt as if I was drunk and confused. I couldn't remember what I had done. When I woke up this morning, I realized that I was drugged, what drug was given, do you know?"

Of course the officials didn't know, and they didn't dare to say anything.Yan Chengcai wanted to say something, remembering Yan Zheng winking at him just now, he also closed his eyes.

mouth.

"You can't guess it! The empress came from a family, and in the harem, she actually used aphrodisiacs for me. Do you believe it?"

After Guo Heng finished speaking, he looked straight at the Grand Master.

Yan Zheng is in his 50s this year, with a medium build and a little fat.There are not many wrinkles on the fair skin, but most of the hair is gray.You can tell even if you wear an official hat.In the past when going to court, Guo Heng would always stare at his hair, how much of it was for Daliang's court affairs, and how much of it was for the benefit of Yan's family for forming a party.

Guo Heng didn't understand, Yan Zheng is already a grand master, his son is a second-rank official, and his family has a thousand acres of land closed, what else does he want?Could it be his throne?If he thinks so, he is wrong!He, Guo Heng, would never let such a wicked person be the emperor

The ministers let out a short sound of surprise, and they all looked at Grand Master Yan. Yan Zheng's old face turned red when he heard those two words.

He gritted his teeth, stood up against everyone's different gazes, stabilized his mind, knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there must be something hidden about this matter. Chun'er was raised by the old man, she has a simple and honest personality , will definitely not do such a thing.”

"The grand master is saying that I have wronged the queen?"

"The old minister dare not."

Guo Heng laughed lightly, "Although the queen didn't admit it, she is the lord of the first palace, and it happened in her Kunning Palace. Shouldn't she be blamed?"

"This... this..."

When Yan Zheng heard that the Queen didn't admit it, his heart sank for the most part. Fortunately, Chun'er was not so confused.Prescribing medicine to the emperor is a serious crime of treason.If you admit it, everything is over.He has been planning for so many years, and he just got the opportunity, so he can't fall short.

"Your Majesty. I dare not intercede for the queen, but I am sure that there must be something inside this matter. Please investigate the matter in detail." "Okay. I know that the grand master is a sensible person. Don't worry, the grand master will not investigate the matter. Before I know it, I won't have any opinion on the grand master. The grand master is the pillar of the great beam, and I still have to rely on the grand master."

"The veteran thanked the emperor for his trust. The veteran will definitely devote himself to death."

"The grand master's words are serious, please sit down."

Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the cold sweat on his body had soaked through his underwear, but it didn't show at all on his face.

Guo Heng looked around the ministers in the hall, and saw that everyone bowed their heads and no one spoke.

He smiled faintly: "My lords, how should I deal with the matter of me being drugged?"

The ministers looked at each other but dared not speak.

Yan Chengcai said in his heart, normally you flatter our Yan family, but now something happened and you are silent.snort!A group of waste

Things!

He took a step forward and said loudly: "Your majesty, since the empress did not admit it, it must not be the empress's doing. I think that the emperor can investigate the whole of the Kunning Palace, and should investigate other concubines. Maybe they framed it Queen's." Yan Zheng nodded secretly, and his son finally said the right thing.

Lin Ziming seemed to have heard a joke, chuckled, and turned his head to the side.

Yan Chengcai heard it, but dared to be angry and dare not speak.

He glared at the Minister of Rites next to him, Ma Biao, his immediate boss.Although Ma Biao was his boss, but because the strict government was his father's sake, he often flattered and flattered him.

Seeing Yan Chengcai glaring at him, and seeing that the emperor did not punish the grand master, Ma Biao figured out what the emperor meant, saying that he wanted to punish the queen, it should be just talking.

He bit the bullet and came out: "Your Majesty, what Yan Shilang said is justified. Although the queen is the head of the first palace, she is also your first wife. As the saying goes, between husband and wife, there is a quarrel at the head of the bed and peace at the end of the bed. Is there something in it? What misunderstanding? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Guo Heng wanted to laugh, the first-rank official of Daliang Kingdom actually said the common saying of fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed, what a talent!

After Ma Biao finished speaking, he seemed to have started, and all the courtiers of the Grand Master's Party began to speak.The central argument is that the queen's affairs are the emperor's family affairs, and should not be discussed in the court.There must be something hidden about the queen prescribing the medicine, so I ask the emperor to take it lightly.

Guo Heng sneered and looked at Lin Ziming who had not spoken.

"Lord Lin, what do you think?"

Yan Zheng's back stiffened again. He had always been at odds with Xiang Lin Ziming, so naturally he didn't expect Lin Ziming to say good things.

Sure enough, Lin Ziming said bluntly: "Your majesty, the empress and you are called husband and wife, but they are actually monarchs and ministers. What's more, the empress is the master of the harem and the example of the three palaces and six courts. Of course, she must be severely punished for her misbehavior. Otherwise, how can she convince the public?" ?”

Zhou Dai also said: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal. The concubines in the harem are the closest people to the Emperor. If they can do such a thing, who should the Emperor trust in the future? Today is just an aphrodisiac. The Emperor tolerated it and will not be held accountable. What if it was poisoned? The emperor’s life will be lost, and the country will be overthrown. Is this just a family matter? Ministers, are you deceiving yourself and others, or are you deceiving yourself?”

"You! Zhou Dai, our Yan family is loyal to the emperor. There must be an inside story about the queen's matter. Why is it as serious as you said? Don't provoke the emperor here!"

Yan Chengcai stared at Zhou Dai, wishing to make a hole in him.

Zhou Dai sneered, "He said he was loyal, so he turned around and gave the emperor medicine. Such a loyal minister, the emperor doesn't want it!"

"you!"

Yan Chengcai took two steps forward and was about to grab Zhou Dai. Since Zhou Dai dared to speak out, he was naturally not afraid of him, and stood with his chest up, without flinching.

"stop!"

Guo Heng and Yan Zheng spoke at the same time, Yan Chengcai stopped, gave Zhou Dai a hard look, and stepped back.

Yan Zheng has been observing the emperor's face, but seeing that his eyes are lowered, his face is calm, and he can't see the slightest clue.

He had to admit that the emperor grew up and became more and more calm.My movements are still too slow!

He stopped Yan Chengcai and knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no way to teach his son, please punish him."

Guo Heng said indifferently: "The grand master is right, you really have no way to teach your son. Since you don't know how to discipline yourself, then I will take care of it for you."

"The emperor is merciful!"

Guo Heng laughed lightly, "The empress's case is either big or small. Let it be handled by the clan's family, Mr. Song, this matter is related to the reputation of the queen and the reputation of the grand master. You must investigate it carefully. Fine, clear."

This, this is not a good job!Song Gaoyi, the head of the clan's mansion, secretly glanced at Yan Zheng, seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, he kowtowed to accept the decree.

His small movements naturally did not escape Guo Heng's eyes.Guo Heng sneered in his heart, asking you to do it is to give Yan Zheng a step down, do you think I don't know that you are Yan Zheng's person?

When Yan Zheng heard that Guo Heng asked Song Gaoyi to investigate the empress's case, he finally felt relieved.Song Gaoyi is his man, and he is confident that this matter will turn from big to small, from small to nothing.

Guo Heng said again: "My dear friends, who has anything to say?"

Everyone knew that the emperor was in a bad mood at this time, so they didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of offending the emperor.

Wu Yang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said loudly: "Your Majesty, the autumn test is about to begin. I heard that you intend to reform. I wonder if there will be any changes?"

Guo Heng smiled approvingly at Wu Yang, he just made a show yesterday, but today Wu Yang raised it, it seems that this person is available.

"I do have some new ideas. The imperial examination is a method for the imperial court to select talents, and its purpose is naturally to select talents and appoint talents, regardless of their background. But over the years, the imperial examinations of the imperial court have paid more attention to government schools, and students who can enter official schools, no matter No matter how well you read, you can take the exam, and there are many ignorant people among them. There are also officials' children, four or five, or even five or six sons in the family take the exam together, crowding out the places for poor students. Children from poor families who can't afford to go to official schools have nowhere to go, this autumn exam, I want to change this kind of atmosphere."

"I don't know how the emperor wants to change?"

This plan was proposed by Yu Qi, and Guo Heng made improvements based on the actual situation in the Liang Chaotang.

He knew that this plan would definitely be opposed by many people, but because of the Queen's matter, the grand master's posture was very cautious, so his party did not dare to be too presumptuous, coupled with Lin Ziming's support for Guo Heng, the new The autumn test plan just passed.

Guo Heng went down to court, and he was in a pretty good mood.However, there are still too few people in the court who speak for themselves.Lin Ziming, who was born as a military general, was not good at speaking.In the Zhou Dynasty, the position was too low, and the position was humble.Although Changsunling was a little more tactful, Zhou Dai's father-in-law would stand by Zhou Dai's side.Looking at it today, Wuyang can also fight for it.But the weight of these people is too light, if Qingping and his father can help him...

He thought all the way back to Chongwen Hall, just sat down, Shui Yun came to report, saying that Kong Qingping asked to see him, Guo Heng naturally let him in.

Kong Qingping entered the door, saluted, then sized Guo Heng up and down, Guo Heng was terrified by him, and when he wanted to get angry, Kong Qingping said: "Brother Huang, are you alright?"

Guo Heng took a sip of tea, "Physician Qi showed me the medicine and took the medicine. The medicine should be gone."

Kong Qingping was puzzled, "Brother Emperor, why did the Empress give you medicine? Could it be you..."

"What am I?"

Guo Heng didn't understand why he didn't finish speaking, looked up wonderingly, and found that Kong Qingping's eyes fell on his lower body

, still looking hesitant to speak, put the teacup on the table angrily, and said angrily: "Kong Qingping, what are you thinking about?
