The next day, Zhao Qi begged to see Han Zhen outside the imperial study.Eunuch Gui, the great eunuch, went out to greet him.Zhao Qi saw that Eunuch Gui was finally not that kind of monster, with a warm smile on his face, which was very pleasing.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you issued an order to kill Eunuch Xi?" Zhao Qi asked.

Han Zhen's face froze, a little embarrassed.I'm even more afraid that this person will hate him if he finds out, "Zhao Qing, I, I'm really impatient..."

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has done a good job. A king should govern the country with benevolence, but as an emperor, he must not let such a petty person climb over his head and do his best. The emperor must remember not to be merciful at critical times. "

Han Zhen nodded quickly, with a happy face, "Yeah!"

But I heard the man say again, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently. I am afraid that the root of the disease was caused by not paying attention to my body when I was young. Now every time it is windy and rainy, my joints are sore and the pain is unbearable. Therefore, I want to resign and retire. , I hope the emperor will grant you."

Han Zhen's eyes widened, completely out of control, "No! No!" He shook his head and said, "I won't let you go!"

The little emperor is playing his temper again.Zhao Qi felt helpless, and began to talk about his interests again, "Your Majesty, the governor of the third rank above the court is an upright man, only rich and five chariots, and he is a person worthy of closeness. Although he is usually stationed outside the capital, the emperor can call him back at critical times. Discuss important matters in Beijing. The new minister can also assist the emperor very well. Master Zhang Guan these days is worried that he will not be able to do anything great. The emperor also met some new officials at the Qionglin Banquet, so he should have a comparison in his heart. The next thing the emperor can decide for himself is to make good use of his virtuous ministers. I can no longer help the emperor if I am sick, so why don't you resign yourself and return to your hometown, and the emperor can promote more officials in his hands."

Han Zhen couldn't listen to this, but felt tightness in his chest, and the pain was so bad that he couldn't breathe.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Qi didn't know what he was going to do, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm really terrified of being the prime minister of two dynasties with no achievements in the country. Now that there are talented people and capable people, everyone can be competent, and I would like to step down from office and let the worthy. I ask the emperor for permission."

Every time Han Zhen summoned Zhao Qi, he always dismissed the servants and maids around him. At this time, Zhao Qi and him were the only ones in the huge imperial study.

Han Zhen lost all scruples, and reached out to hug Zhao Qi, pleading, "Teacher, Tutor, don't leave me here alone..."

Zhao Qi's whole body froze, he was shocked and lost his mind, he just felt that his mind went blank and all thoughts were wiped out.The little emperor is like this, but is he interested in him?But just a few months ago, the little emperor poisoned him in a humble way.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Han Zhen shed tears of grievance, and cried, "Teacher, I will no longer be emperor, I let you do it, you are not allowed to go!"

Zhao Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, thinking to himself, could it be that the little emperor felt that he had some ulterior motive, and deliberately staged this scene to verify whether he had the intention to seek power and usurp the throne?Zhao Qi was startled, pushed the little emperor away, took two steps back, solemnly knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, I have no coveting intentions for the throne, Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Han Zhen felt even more sad, even the throne can't keep you Tai Tuo?Thinking about it made me cry even worse, wiping my tears and choked up, "Teacher, do you not like me anymore? You know that I poisoned you so you hate me? Huh, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong Yes! Taifu, don't be angry with me..."

Zhao Qi knelt on the ground, thinking about it for a while, unable to figure out what the little emperor meant.Hastily said, "Your Majesty, don't say these words again, my minister was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, no one intentionally poisoned you, do you understand?"

"Teacher!" Han Zhen threw himself into Zhao Qi's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around him, "Teacher, why did you leave me? I'm so scared, my father and brother were killed, I only have Taifu now!"

Zhao Qi was startled, and his heart turned cold.

It's over, did the little emperor figure out the strange cause of the death of the former emperor and the former prince?If it is involved, I am afraid that I will not end well.The charge of poisoning the former emperor and the first prince, a glass of poisoned wine is simply light!Zhao Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this humble minister will definitely protect the Emperor and not let treacherous people take advantage of it!"

Han Zhen nodded, choked up and said, "Teacher, if you want to protect me, you can't leave here."

Zhao Qi let out a long sigh in his heart, and said, "This humble minister will surely die."

*****

In the early court, a minister finally remembered the fact that the emperor had no concubine, and quickly wrote a letter to suggest, "Your Majesty, now that the emperor has been on the throne for several months and his foundation is stable, there must be someone who takes care of him in the harem. The minister suggested that the emperor draft in advance, and select officials of appropriate age Select a few of the daughters of the family to enter the palace as concubines, so as to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and spread their children."

Han Zhen's first reaction was to look at Zhao Qi, who was sitting in the first seat, and seeing that person was still calm and indifferent, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and said, "Zhao Qing, what do you think?"

Of course Zhao Qi didn't expect the little emperor to ask him about accepting a concubine, so he said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, what Master Zhang said is very true."

So you want me to be a concubine too?Han Zhen was not very happy in his heart, but he couldn't explain why, so he vented his anger on the speaker who played just now, and said coldly, "Master Zhang, don't worry about the harem, I have my own arrangements! Next time I will talk about the concubine. matter, I will definitely punish you for the death penalty of overstepping your position!"

The official Zhang didn't expect such a serious crime, so he fell to his knees in fright and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will never do it again next time!"

Originally, some officials wanted to recommend their daughters who were of moderate age, but now they stopped talking.Zhao Qi thought it was funny, why was the little emperor so angry?

It took Han Zhen a while to say, "Zhao Qing, come to the Imperial Study, I have something to discuss with you. Everyone else should retreat."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
