i made the emperor pregnant

The Son of Heaven always came late. Before he arrived at the atrium, the courtiers took their places one after another. Because of the recent draft, the courtiers greeted each other with smiles, but their words were sharp, as if there was lightning There were crackling sounds, and the air was filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke.

However, the few courtiers who danced the most in the past are very peaceful today. They turned into saw-mouthed gourds one by one, and they were stingy to give their opponents even fake smiles.

After all, yesterday the emperor approved the memorials that had been accumulated for quite some time, and almost all the courtiers who went to court in the past few days were severely reprimanded. They don’t know if the emperor will directly attack the court today, and they feel uneasy , At this time, I have no intention of arguing with my opponent.

After yesterday's memorial, the emperor's sharp words and tricky angles almost made some thin-skinned literati hide their faces and abandon themselves, wishing to find a rope to hang themselves. It was the officials of the same faction who confronted each other in private and found that the subject I wasn't the only one who criticized it, and my uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.But after being scolded just now, they still couldn't help feeling flustered when they came to the court today.

Among them, the two people with the ugliest faces are the son-in-law Weng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. No, the former is no longer the minister of the Ministry of Rites. The newcomer who changed was also from a poor family, and he was the number one scholar in the gold department selected in the previous scientific examination.

This number one scholar is already in his forties this year, because he had a wife and children in his early years. When he became the number one scholar, the eldest son in the family had already married a wife and had children, and he was not related to any faction by marriage, so he was regarded as a pure minister.

Although he has the talent of number one scholar, but this person has an upright personality, so he has been sitting on the bench in the Hanlin Academy. He has worked hard in this position for six years before he changed from a sixth-rank editor to a regular sixth-rank bachelor. , but now he has become the servant of the Ministry of Rites from the fourth rank, and he has achieved triple jumps all at once.It's nothing to be promoted simply, it's a direct transfer from a position without real power to an official with real power.

Except for this one with a smug smile on his face, most of the courtiers couldn't laugh.Zuo Chancellor Song Mingcheng was also among the cold-faced people. His old opponents were just dismissed, but his ally, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was fined half a year's salary, and he was also detained from a family who was not strict and could not be used. Hat, I didn't get demoted this time, but life will definitely not be easy, at least in the near future, I must be a man with my tail between my legs.

As for the servant of the Ministry of Rites, this guy was originally a vacillating fool, but because he married the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the former right minister was dismissed, he was originally inclined to their side, but now he has become a useless piece of chess.The emperor not only demoted the man, but also sent him to Qiongzhou. Who knows that Qiongzhou is a remote place where mountains and rivers are exhausted. Not to mention that there is not much to be squeezed out, just a rough and unruly person is enough to be an official. Eat a pot first.

Song Mingcheng deeply reflected on whether he was too floating, so he was beaten by the emperor. All the powerful officials wanted to have the glorious power of the regent, but the emperor would never allow any party to grow into the original regent. He was trying to figure out In the mind of the emperor, he heard Xiao Huangmen's thin but loud voice coming from outside.

"The emperor is here!" There was a sound, no matter what they thought in their hearts, many courtiers restrained their expressions and stood tall and straight in the hall, waiting for the emperor to walk to the high jade platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony superior.

The emperor walked through the aisle among the officials, and the officials who bowed their heads could see the hem of the clothes when the emperor was walking. Today, the emperor's court clothes are still black, but it is different from last time. It used to be Phnom Penh The bottom is inlaid, but today it is red edged, which looks like the same set when the ancestral temple was sacrificed.

Are there any activities to worship in the near future?The minds of the courtiers were running at high speed, but they didn't think of any important days. Generally speaking, the harvest season is in autumn, and hunting and military inspections are basically held during autumn and winter.

Summer is the most difficult season, because the weather is too hot, and you will be very sleepy in the afternoon. Sometimes when you encounter disaster weather, you have to worry about flood relief.But this year, the weather is generally good, and several embankments are still in place. At least so far, there is no news that any embankment has been broken.

"You love yourselves."

The courtiers who were thinking wildly raised their heads. Although they didn't dare to look carelessly, they could still see the appearance of the emperor on the high platform from the corner of their eyes. The corners of the emperor's lips were turned up instead of down. pretty good.

No no, the Son of Heaven is moody, laughing is not necessarily a good thing, it may be a fake smile.They looked down a little, and noticed that there seemed to be a small accessory that had never been seen on the emperor's court clothes today. It was a suet jade jade tablet, and it was carved with a full-body image of Maitreya Buddha. Mouth, smiling is called a kind eyebrow.

It was originally a small gift from the emperor's lover, but in the eyes of the courtiers, this Maitreya Buddha has a snake-like mouth, and his mouth is so open that he is clearly sneering at them.

It is impossible for the emperor to suddenly become interested in wearing an amulet. This is definitely for ulterior motives!But what is the purpose of the amulet, right!The queen mother is a Buddhist believer. When the queen mother was there, the temples were very prosperous. In order to please the queen mother, the regent built Buddhist temples in many places.Later, the regent disappeared, and many Buddhist halls were smashed by the emperor. Although many people still eat fast and chant Buddha, compared with the peak period a few years ago, Buddhism has lost a lot.

Originally, the Buddhist halls were important places, and some taxes could be reduced or exempted. After the emperor changed the tax, those small Buddhist halls that were not prosperous enough for incense almost disappeared.The emperor never believed in Buddhism, so how could he wear the Buddha card? This must be a hint!The amulet is probably a symbol of the queen mother who died young.

Reminiscent of those who had the most severe outbreaks of the emperor, most of their memorials mentioned the emperor's draft and the issue of succession to heirs.Some officials who are good at seeing little things have already made conclusions. This must be a warning, warning them not to stretch their hands too far. After all, the matter of the Queen Mother was always a taboo in the heart of the emperor that could not be mentioned casually.

If this is the case, the Son of Heaven has dragged on for too long, so many years have passed.Although once bitten by a snake, I am afraid of well ropes for ten years.But the queen mother is the emperor's mother, not his concubine. The emperor is now in his twenties, so he has to find a way to continue the incense for the Sima family, otherwise there will be no successors.

The courtiers complained in their hearts: If the emperor himself does not plan to have children because of his poor health, and wants to adopt from the clan, then at least he will show a little bit of meaning in this regard, and they should start preparing early.

The emperor, who was speculated by everyone, finally opened his mouth. His voice sounded cold, and there was something deep and hoarse: "There is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat."

The newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites made a standout: "I have something to play."

There are three fires when a new official takes office. The first fire of the minister of rites was on the head of the emperor. He first said something similar to the praise of the emperor for thousands of years, but then changed the subject and mentioned the current emperor's harem. There is a vacancy, and the palace needs fresh blood.The emperor's family affairs are not only family affairs, but also state affairs.

However, he didn't recommend any women, and he didn't mention a single list. He just gave a general direction, knew the etiquette of poetry and books, had to be graceful and dignified, and could afford the position of mother of the country. good character.

Too brave, really too brave, the courtiers who didn't really like this former Jinke champion all secretly cast admiring glances. They have made various insinuations over the years, but at the most intense time, they also It's just that the Son of Heaven is drowned out with snowflake-like notes, and almost no one dares to mention it directly when going to court.

To everyone's surprise, the emperor did not reprimand the minister of rites, nor did he smash the head of the minister of rites with the ornaments at hand: "Yes, the position in the middle palace can only be afforded by people with both ability and integrity, but Ai Qing said Looks are not important, but they are biased."

In terms of character, who in this world can compare to his Xiaoqi. Sima Yan originally hated the draft, but yesterday Xiaoqi proposed to him, and the emperor felt that getting married is not so terrible.He and Xiaoqi should be a legitimate couple, worshiped by all officials, admired by all people, engraved on the jade plate of the royal family, recorded in the history, and buried in the mausoleum after death.

As soon as this remark came out, all civil and military officials were restless.What did they hear? The recent memorials were not in vain, and the emperor thought about it.That is the position in the middle palace. Once the mother of the country, if she is pregnant, the child born will probably be the future prince, the future emperor.With such a piece of fat hanging in front of her, someone couldn't help saying immediately, "The Wang family has a daughter, who is both good looking and talented..."

All forces want to fight for the position of queen. If the emperor has no plans to establish a queen first, it would be good to appoint the four noble concubines first.

As a result, only one name was reported, and the emperor, who was still beaming before, turned his face, and the whole court returned to the state of silence again.Their faces are frozen, but their minds are very active.Only Prime Minister Song Mingcheng, who was supposed to be involved with these people, looked very unsightly.

Because there was nothing too important, the emperor read the content of the previous few particularly sharp notes in public, scolded the courtiers who were not strict with the family, and retreated impatiently.Now he can't see men who abandon their wives and children. Of course, some of them are really confused, but the emperor doesn't care about this.

The emperor called out the names of several ministers, all of whom were important officials of the court: "After retiring from the court, come to the imperial study."

After the court was over, an official who had a good deal with Song Ming said to him: "Brother Song, congratulations, when the time comes, I will report to His Majesty, do you want me..."

Before Song Mingcheng asked him to suppress the rumors, but now that the emperor was thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel that Song Mingcheng had anticipated the emperor's thoughts a long time ago, and released the news in advance to build momentum for his daughter.After all, his daughter is eighteen this year, and it's a bit late to get engaged at this age, but it's just right for her to be sent to the palace. After all, the emperor is also twenty-six this year, and she can still compete for the position in the middle palace.

"The little girl is already talking about marriage, and she went to visit relatives in Nanjiang City with her mother. The girl from the Xie family is pretty good, just at her young age, and she is extremely beautiful." Song Mingcheng put a fake smile on his face, and took his daughter out of the matter. Open, which means that he has no intention of competing.If the wives and brothers of the same party are interested, he will vigorously recommend young girls from the wives and brothers.

"Your Majesty is still waiting, I can't chat with Brother Feng anymore." Song Mingcheng turned his head, but there was no smile on his face when he finished talking with Yan Yan just now. The emperor has always been ruthless, how could his son be so stupid, he didn't know he was being played with.

The emperor first called people from the six departments to come in and asked the ministers of each department: "Do you think I should go to the Summer Resort?"

The ministers were at a loss as to what kind of question it was. Whether to go or not was not according to the emperor's wishes. They pondered the emperor's thoughts and answered carefully: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Going to the summer resort will be more effective in handling political affairs. I think it's time to go."

One said he should go, but the emperor didn't respond, and the others followed suit and handed in answers with a similar rate of [-]% to [-]%.

The emperor didn't say anything after listening, and didn't let them out, and ordered other officials to come in.After saying a few words, the summoned courtiers realized that the reason why the emperor asked them to come was to arrange a trip to the summer resort in Xianlu Mountain.According to the Son of Heaven, everything remains the same, except for two points that have changed slightly from previous years: "This year, we will not travel by water, but by land, and we will send additional manpower, and all the judges and punishments will accompany us."

Song Mingcheng's ears pricked up uncontrollably when he heard the Interrogation Division, and his attention became more concentrated than before.Song Mingcheng's emotions are very complicated now. When the emperor talked about going to the summer resort, he suddenly remembered his wife and daughter who were going to Nanjiang City.When the time comes, I have to write a letter first, asking my wife to arrange her daughter's marriage as soon as possible, and be quick to get involved, look at those young talents, and don't waste time on people who don't fit your eyes and don't meet the qualifications.

Just now when the court was scattered, the officials who talked with Song Mingcheng couldn't help winking at Prime Minister Zuo. It's okay, just now he said that his daughter had no intention of fighting, but he sent her to Nanjiang City early, maybe it was to create What a romantic encounter, it is worthy of being a leftist, taking one step and counting three steps, unexpectedly figured out the emperor's mind so accurately, and perfectly grasped the timing.

Those people who made arrangements after the emperor let go must have missed a move, but it’s not too late now, even if they enter the palace and become a queen, they will give birth to dragon species, and the one who will have the last laugh doesn’t know who it is Woolen cloth.

After receiving this kind of meaningful gaze, Song Mingcheng's mood became even worse.

The emperor's voice sounded abruptly, startling the officials who had just winked at Song Mingcheng: "Who is Feng Qing flirting with?"

The latter stammered, "No...no."

The emperor put his hands on the wide sleeves, and said calmly: "If your eyesight is not good, let's just say it. I sympathize with you and let you return to your hometown with your clothes and clothes for the elderly, so as not to delay the state affairs."

"Chen's eyes are very good, but it's hot, and sweat fell into his eyes." The official who was pointed out hurriedly wiped his hot sweat with his sleeve.

The emperor didn't act according to the rules at all. Although it sounded like a joke, it was probably not a real joke. It would be too miserable if he was forced to return home.

"Where is the Minister of the Household?"

"Wei Chen is here."

The emperor finally mentioned his main point for today: "I remember that there was a small country that sent a lot of jade as tribute."

"Yes, it is the Pingche Kingdom, and the tribute jade is placed in the treasury, most of which are agate jadeite."

The sleeves of the Son of Heaven slipped off, revealing a section of pure white wrist, on which hung a bracelet of spring colors. The bracelet was well distributed in purple and emerald colors, with a simple and rough shape, which complemented the emperor's hand.

The emperor seemed to be casually saying: "How about my bracelet?"

The thing that can be worn by the emperor is naturally his favorite thing at this moment. Hubu Shangshu hurriedly praised: "The jade bracelet on your majesty's hand is called Chundaicai. This bracelet is of excellent quality. Look at this shape." , this craft is also rare in the world."

Sima Yan smiled, "Does Pingche have such stones?"

Hubu Shangshu said: "Those rough stones have not been polished completely, most of them are red and emerald. If they are blessed by heaven, they may be able to produce the purple color of your Majesty."

Nowadays, emeralds are not popular, white jade and red jade are more important, but what the emperor likes is the best and most expensive in the world, so the emperor withdrew his sleeves and said, "Open up all those stones, and bring them up for me to see when the time comes." .”

Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly fell in love with jadeite, the courtiers who are good at business know that jadeite should be expensive after a while, and they can take the opportunity to make a fortune.Others are imagining the position in the middle palace. Since the emperor likes jadeite and this purple one, he can let his daughter wear a set of emerald headdresses.The purple air coming from the east is indeed a good symbol.

All the ministers had different thoughts, only Prime Minister Song Mingcheng felt bad when he saw the bracelet. The bracelet with colorful spring looks familiar at first glance, and even more familiar at second glance.

There are many similar jades in the world, but there will not be exactly the same bracelet. The bracelet deliberately exposed on the emperor's wrist was not worn by his grandmother for decades, but by his mother for dozens of years. Years, and finally gave his daughter-in-law an heirloom!Is the lineage of the Song family only reserved for the heirloom of the eldest son's daughter-in-law? !
