Conquer the king with power

After three months of filial piety for the late emperor, the cabinet came up with a note, saying that it would be played to invite His Majesty to make a queen.

The selection of concubines after the discussion is also a means for the Manchu civil and military to seize power, and it is also a good way for the banquet to consolidate the emperor's power.

Looking at the cabinet's memorial in front of him, Si Yanzhu approved a word of approval, and he wanted to see what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to say.

Wei Chun came in with Dou Yu, and before he could salute, he saw the word Zhun on the memorial opened in front of Si Yan, and then he saw the word Xuanfei.

Wei Chun's complexion was gloomy and cold, and he couldn't be polite anymore.Standing in front of the banquet, breathing heavily.

Si Yan immediately noticed Wei Chun's strangeness, Wei Chun is a very good-looking man.Because of his martial arts practice, his figure is also extremely well-proportioned and tall.Many years ago, his face was still a bit childish. Ever since the old Hou Ye died in battle, he has lifted up the lintel of Zhenbei Hou Mansion by himself.Si Yan no longer saw the childish look on Wei Chun's face, but a look of deep determination instead.It is more attractive, and that good waist is also more attractive.

The banquet waved Dou Yu back, and Dou Yu thoughtfully led the maids and eunuchs in the Hall of Zhaohe to retreat.

All the idlers in the hall retreated, Wei Chun couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the clothes of the secretary, lifted the secretary, pressed it on the table, bowed his head and kissed it.

Si Yan didn't struggle or cooperate, so he let Wei Chun act.

When Wei Chun let him go, Si Yan's lips were slightly red, and the corners of his eyes were also stained with a blush.

Wei Chun closed his eyes deeply, and knelt down: "Your servant should die!"

Si Yan looked at Wei Chun who was kneeling on the ground for a moment, and called Dou Yu: "Dou Yu, send the Marquis of Zhenbei out of the palace."

Dou Yu heard the sound and came in, and made a gesture of invitation to Wei Chun who was kneeling on the ground: "Please, Lord Hou!"

Wei Chun stood up and glanced at Si Yan, then turned around and followed Dou Yu out of the palace.

"Your Majesty should know that choosing a concubine is just a means to consolidate the imperial power. Besides, the Si family's royal heirs are weak, so it is inevitable for Your Majesty to choose a concubine after setting up a concubine." Dou Yu was still a bit shorter than Wei Chun, bowing respectfully slowly talking.

Wei Chun knew it, he knew it before the kiss.But still unhappy, angry, even jealous.

"If Lord Hou is worried, he can also prepare a girl to enter the palace in the future." Dou Yuqian said.

Hearing Dou Yu's words, Wei Chun stopped in his tracks, and Dou Yu could only stop accordingly.Dou Yu raised his eyes puzzled, and saw Wei Chun's knife-like eyes sweeping all over his body.

Dou Yu immediately knelt down: "Master Hou, calm down!"

Send Wei Chun away, and Dou Yu returns.

Seeing Dou Yu's sweaty head, Si Yan handed him a handkerchief: "Did he embarrass you?"

Dou Yu shook his head slightly: "Thank you Your Majesty, the old slave is worth embarrassing for Lord Hou."

Si Yan nodded and continued to criticize his own memorial.

early morning.

The banquet still looked at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty through the pearl shade of the emperor's crown.

"Your Majesty, since you agree to choose a concubine after standing up, I will recommend one person to Your Majesty. The granddaughter of Prime Minister Feng has just reached the age of Ji. She is also dignified and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and comes from a family. She can be a model of women in the world." The one who came out to speak was the Ministry of War. Shangshu Fangyi.

The recommender can't do it himself, it is necessary to save face, so Feng Xiang pushed his student Fang Yi to come forward.

Si Yan nodded, ready to answer yes.Before he could speak, Cai Shoufu stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have a daughter who is beautiful. She grew up under the teachings of the Empress Dowager since she was a child. She is also calm and magnanimous, dignified and beautiful. She can be Your Majesty's wife." Cai Shoufu directly recommended himself and brought out the Empress Dowager Cai.

After all, the Cai family has a queen mother, and they have this capital first.

"I heard that Mrs. Shoufu's daughter is very pampered and self-willed. The maids in the yard are arrested and beaten to death if they feel unsatisfactory. How can such a woman be a queen and be respectful to the world?" Fang Yi immediately retorted.

"That's a maidservant's mistake. My daughter has always been strict, so why has she become a scorner in the mouth of Shang Shu. I heard that the granddaughter of Feng Xiang's family often goes out, and everyone in the entire capital city knows that she is Feng Xiang's granddaughter Not to be outdone, Cai Xiang responded immediately after explaining.

"Cai Shoufu's red lips and white teeth are so vicious! It can be seen that the daughter I taught is not a virtuous woman." Feng Xiangke is many years older than Cai Shoufu, and he will eat a few more years without explaining. Rebuttal from the side, not only criticized Cai Shoufu but also scolded Cai's daughter.

"Stop making noise!" Si Yan said lightly, without any other expression on his face.

After hearing the emperor's words, both sides stopped and looked at the emperor.

"My lords, you can go out and fight, and if the one who is convinced is convinced, I will make the woman of that family as queen." Si Yan said coldly, without much fluctuation in tone.

Dou Yu couldn't help laughing.But under the court, in the majestic place, he held back.

"Your servant deserves to die!" Feng Xiang was the teacher of the banquet, and when he heard the sharpness of the words, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

When Cai Shoufu saw Feng Xiang pleading guilty, he rolled his eyes, and immediately reacted, knelt down and pleaded guilty.

It is not a crime for two first-rank officials of the imperial court to attack and quarrel with each other like shrews in the vegetable market in court.

"Since that's the case, let's choose a concubine after standing up! Who will mention it later? The Taimiao, which enshrines more than [-] emperors of Dayu, is waiting for you." Si Yan said without haste.The tone was steady, neither angry nor powerful, but it just made people feel terrified.

The ministers said yes, and then the court was as silent as death.

At this time, the corner of Si Yan's mouth slightly raised: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials disrespected the court and despised the power of heaven. He was dismissed from his post and cut his post, punished to the Taimiao, and guarded the spiritual seat of the late emperor."

Fang Yi went to be struck by lightning, he was stunned on the spot, and when he realized it, he immediately knelt down and pleaded his innocence.

At this time, someone stood up and wanted to intercede for Fang Yi, but in the middle of speaking, he was pointed out by Si Yan.

"You too!" Si Yan still had that bland tone.

Cai Shoufu and Feng Xiang rarely looked at each other, and frowned tacitly at the same time.

"Is what I said no longer useful? How about you, the emperor, do it!" Si Yan spoke again.

At this time, not only Fang Yi was kneeling alone, but all civil and military officials in the court knelt down.Cai Shoufu and Feng Tong understood at the same time that the emperor was trying to establish his prestige.

No one from the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty came to intercede, and they all knelt silently.

Si Yan was somewhat satisfied, but his expression was still grim.

Before going down to the court, Si Yan found Zhenbei Hou in the civil and military pile of the Manchu Dynasty, and then went straight down after a glance.

"Your Majesty won't make a queen?" Dou Yu followed behind Si Yan, arranging the overlong court clothes for him.

"Marquis of Zhenbei, I'm still useful. It's not good to offend him now." Si Yan took off the crown and held it in his hand. This crown is really heavy.

Dou Yu didn't say anything anymore. With his company with Si Yan for more than [-] years, he should know what Si Yan will use Zhenbei Hou to do next, but this is not good, really not good!

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said, I would like to invite Your Majesty to have lunch with me." Before the banquet arrived at the Hall of Zhaohe, the maids beside the Empress Dowager Cai came to deliver a message.

Si Yan's brows and eyes moved slightly, and he nodded: "Okay!"

The banquet went to the Empress Dowager's palace, Cai was as dignified and noble as ever, she had never aged in her early forties, and she was still radiant.

"Yan'er, come and sit!" Empress Dowager Cai waved to Si Yan with a smile, her smile was decent and dignified, and her demeanor was luxurious.

"Please greet the Queen Mother!" Si Yan saluted, this is his aunt, he has to respect.

Empress Dowager Cai looked at the banquet, and smiled gracefully: "There is no need to be too polite." This is the only son of the late emperor, and all the concubines have been around him for so many years.Except for his biological mother, he never called anyone a mother.It's the same with her here, call her, she used to be called queen and now she is called queen mother.

After the banquet was seated, the maids around the Empress Dowager began serving dishes, and the banquet was naturally eaten casually.

"I heard that you have established your prestige in the court today, so you have to kill Fang Yi, a disciple of Prime Minister Feng first." The queen mother has always been so straightforward in front of the banquet, and never detoured.

"Yes!" Si Yan nodded casually.

"Why! Prime Minister Feng was originally the one you set up to give Cai's power, why do you want to touch his people." The Queen Mother Cai stopped chopsticks in her hand and looked at the banquet.

"Empress Dowager, why do you still think that I am the child who lost his mother when he was young. I am not, I am the emperor now, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable, does the Empress Dowager know?" Si Yan also stopped his chopsticks and looked at Empress Dowager Cai indifferently.

After a long time, Si Yan picked up the square towel to wipe his mouth, straightened his appearance, got up and saluted: "The queen mother takes care of her body, don't get tired."

Si Yan left peacefully, and when he stepped out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager threw the bowl and chopsticks in front of her behind her.The emperor who had just ascended the throne not only established his prestige in the court, but also in front of her.

A Fang Yi made the Manchu civil and military no longer dare to underestimate the newly enthroned emperor.Now everyone knows that under the plain face of the emperor, there is an unfathomable heart, and there is exquisiteness in his heart.

"Zhen, do you have prestige?" After walking out of the Empress Dowager's palace for a long time, Si Yan turned to ask Dou Yu.

"Yes, today's incident, Prime Minister Feng and Chief Assistant Cai must have restrained himself and dared not coerce His Majesty." Dou Yu nodded. Dou Yu who watched the banquet today was calm and unwavering, was a little scared, especially when the banquet was watching in the Empress Dowager's Palace. When the Queen Mother.

"Then why isn't he afraid of me, he hugs me when he says hug me, kisses me when he kisses me, there are no rules at all, it's not proper!" Si Yan recalled that day when Wei Chun mentioned holding him down and kissing me.And today he just packed up the house and Yi went to see him, but he looked at him with a confused face.

"Your Majesty did it himself." Although Dou Yu didn't want to say that, he couldn't lie to Si Yan.

"Yes, if you don't let him hang him, how can he be willing to be used by you." Si Yan nodded, and what Dou Yu said was right.

Si Yan returned to the Hall of Zhaohe, and there was a large number of memorials in front of the case. His brain hurt a little, and the pain was severe.

Dou Yu immediately went to grind the ink, and then looked at the banquet with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's early today, maybe you can finish the approval early today. The new pipa girls in Nanfu say they have excellent skills, but Listen to relieve fatigue."

The first emperor had a great funeral, and he hadn't listened to pipa music for a long time, so he had some fun.He didn't want to mourn for the emperor whose mind was only about the throne, he wanted to listen to music.

"That's great, you can do it." The corner of Si Yan's mouth moved, and he said briskly.

Dou Yu knew that Si Yan was in a better mood, so he agreed immediately.

"I'm going now, old slave." After saying that, he nodded and backed away, Zhu Mo had already worn himself out, and he was no longer of much use here.

Si Yan continued to criticize the memorial, carefully watching it, thinking about the problem, every detail.
