such as Yue Linyuan

In the 20th year of Yanqing, after Si Yuanting's 56th birthday, Chu Yuezhi summoned Liang Chen, Zhong Qingheng and Jiang Sheng into the palace.

Three years ago, Zhong Qingheng had already gained enough qualifications in the court and was promoted to the cabinet minister; Liang Chen was promoted to the cabinet minister earlier in the 13th year of the Yanqing Dynasty.

In the past few years, in addition to Zhong Qingheng and other newcomers, some old people have also been promoted. For example, Jiang Sheng replaced Wu Yonglian who retired and returned to his hometown the year before as Minister of Rites, and Lin Bohan was also promoted to Minister of Industry in the 14th year of Yanqing.

The household department is still in charge of Xia Zhiyi, who can be said to have broken the length of time that the previous household department ministers have been in office since the founding of the Daheng Kingdom.

In the year when Lin Bohan became Minister of the Ministry of Industry, a flood broke out in Zhejiang. Xia Zhiyi urgently allocated funds for disaster relief, and went to the local disaster relief together with Lin Bohan. Eating and living with the migrant workers and common people, Xia Zhiyi said: "When the common people suffer, how can an official of the imperial court covet comfort?"

Famine followed the flood, and natural disasters were all connected. After the completion of the project, Lin Bohan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Xia Zhiyi immediately asked for an order after returning to Beijing to report on his work. Not only that, but also distributed the food in person to prevent unscrupulous people from taking the opportunity to stretch out their black hands.

One of the causes of the famine was that the silted fields could not grow food after the flood, so Xia Zhiyi petitioned the emperor Chu Yuezhi to send troops to help clear the silted fields; Chu Yuezhi immediately issued an order to send troops stationed nearby to , not only to speed up the dredging of the river, but also to help the people clean up the silted fields.

Xia Zhiyi is one of the important contributors to the new policies to improve people's livelihood. He alone proposed more than 20 new policies.

For these loyal ministers, Chu Yuezhi naturally relies heavily on him. He is not a dictatorial monarch. For so many years in power, he summoned courtiers into the palace to discuss matters, except for a temporary break in the first month of the year. If there are no special circumstances, Almost a daily routine.

When Liang Chen, Zhong Qingheng, and Jiang Sheng entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chu Yuezhi was talking with Si Yuanting and Fu Xingyun about the system proposal that was rejected this morning.

The system proposal has been delayed for two years and has not been finalized. Judging from the current situation, it may be delayed for another year or two.It takes three to four years to revise the core system proposals, because it is necessary to listen to opinions extensively, not only from the voices of the common people, but also from the opinions of courtiers from the perspective of the state, and to carry out drills, because the revision of a system What kind of chain reaction will be caused after it is sent out, what consequences will it cause, and what can be done to make up for it are all things that must be considered.

I thought calling them into the palace was also for a proposal, but I didn't expect that after they saluted, Chu Yuezhi said to Si Yuanting: "Si Jiu, I have an idea."

The topic changed abruptly, and he even called him "Si Jiu" in front of the other courtiers. Si Yuanting was taken aback, with an inexplicable feeling of bad premonition, and said, "Usually when you have thoughts, I will have a headache."

Because, usually when Chu Yuezhi has an idea, it is mostly because he wants to mess around.

Chu Yuezhi was very satisfied with Si Yuanting's reaction of knowing him so well, he curled his lips into a slight smile, then turned his head and said to Jiang Sheng: "Jiang Shangshu, I want to tell the world that I will marry the chief minister, and the town Marquis Si Yuanting."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Sheng turned pale with shock, and Liang Chen and Zhong Qingheng who were beside him also had confused expressions. They suspected that there was something wrong with their hearing or comprehension ability. In the main hall, only Fu Xingyun looked at him with a familiar expression. Looking at Chu Yuezhi, he said to Si Yuanting very calmly: "Your wife has endured it for 20 years, and finally, she can't take it anymore."

As for the relationship between Chu Yuezhi and Si Yuanting, ordinary courtiers naturally don't know about it, but like Liang Chen, Zhong Qingheng and Jiang Sheng, Liang Chen confessed that he already knew it when he told Chu Yuezhi about his past. , but he has always been a smart person who knows when to say something and when to pretend to be stupid to protect himself; Zhong Qingheng learned about it when Chu Yuezhi arranged for Si Zhuxi to go out of the palace. Looking for Liang Chen to drink wine and talk at night several times before convincing himself to accept; let alone Jiang Sheng, back then he and his wife were able to finally have a lover and get married because of Chu Yuezhi's fulfillment, although it was for usurping the throne. But what is the relationship between Chu Yuezhi and Si Yuanting in the later stage of the serial case? How could he not be able to see that he was neither a fool nor blind?

However, it is one thing for everyone to know each other well. Over the years, the court has been vaguely hinting that the emperor and the Shoufu Township Marquis have a close relationship. It is the same thing. It's another thing for a couple to tell the world, or the emperor will marry.

Not only Liangchen and the others, but even Si Yuanting's expression cracked after Chu Yuezhi said that, and his whole body froze.

Does this person know what he is talking about?

Throughout the ages, when did such absurd things happen that the emperor married courtiers without regard to etiquette and human relations?

This is simply, risking the disgrace of the world!

Before Liang Chen and the others reacted and knelt down to dissuade them, Si Yuanting, who had always been calm before the collapse of Mount Tai, had completely lost his composure, showing a very rare expression of anxiety and panic, and suddenly raised his voice: "Your Majesty! Never!"

"Shut up, I didn't ask your opinion." Chu Yuezhi didn't intend to pay attention to Si Yuanting at all, and actually put on an attitude of "I just want to do it my own way".

"Your Majesty..." Si Yuanting was rarely flustered by Chu Yuezhi, and wanted to say more, but was held back by Fu Xingyun.

"If I told you to shut up, then shut up. There is no room for you to speak now." Although Fu Xingyun didn't know why Chu Yuezhi brought up this matter without warning, he had an intuition that there were probably other reasons behind Chu Yuezhi's raising this matter. calculating.

What's more, the wife has already made a decision, so it's not the turn of husbands like them to express their opinions to overthrow the "Yizhi".

However, how could Si Yuanting make Chu Yuezhi behave like this? He frowned and wanted to push Fu Xingyun away. As soon as he raised his hand, he heard Chu Yuezhi say again: "Huangfu, if Si Chieffu said one more Literal nonsense, I allow you to use any means to drag him out of this palace."

"Minister, take the decree." Fu Xingyun would naturally not let go of this opportunity if he was able to attack Si Yuanting openly.

Si Yuanting's words were choked in his throat before he could utter them in time, and he glanced at Fu Xingyun coldly, the veins on Si Yuanting's forehead twitched twice, he managed to hold it back, and fell silent with a stiff expression.

Chu Yuezhi didn't even mention this matter to him beforehand, so he must have known that he would never agree to it, but fortunately, he just summoned the courtiers to the palace to discuss it, at least not directly announcing it to the courtiers in the morning. Otherwise, no matter how strong his heart is, he would not be able to withstand Chu Yuezhi's fright.

It's not just him, if Chu Yuezhi really announced his decision to marry the chief minister of the cabinet in the early court, then all the civil and military officials in the court, especially those old antiques, would probably faint directly in the palace past.

Seeing Si Yuanting calm down, Chu Yuezhi turned his eyes back to Jiang Sheng who was still looking dull, and asked, "Jiang Shangshu, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, I want to know, is there any etiquette to marry the chief minister of the cabinet?" Follow?"

Jiang Sheng was frightened by Chu Yuezhi's turbulent decision to the point where his ability to think was at its lowest level. After all, he was nearly half a hundred years old. He almost couldn't stand up when he suddenly heard the emperor say such rebellious words. Hearing Chu Yuezhi's question, he replied instinctively: "Your Majesty, it is unheard of for the emperor to marry, which violates etiquette and etiquette. If Your Majesty sticks to his own opinion, his reputation may be ruined for the rest of his life."

I thought that my words would make Chu Yuezhi angry, but after hearing this, Chu Yuezhi just nodded thoughtfully and said, "There is no precedent for that."

For a while, Liang Chen couldn't figure out the thoughts of the emperor who often played cards irrationally, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I know that your majesty and the chief assistant are as deep as the sea, loyal and unswerving. , but this matter is really too... too much, appalling, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Chu Yuezhi said "oh", looked at Liang Chen with a half-smile, and said, "Didn't Liang Aiqing also marry a man back then, why is it shocking for me to marry?"

"Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven, the king of a country, how can you be compared with mere ministers. In this world, there are so many pairs of eyes looking at your majesty. Even if your majesty and the chief assistant are not at fault, the goodness of Longyang, the one with broken sleeves Addiction is also very acceptable. This subject was only a commoner back then, and he received a lot of abuse for marrying his late husband, let alone His Majesty." Liang Chen also didn't understand why Chu Yuezhi couldn't bear it all of a sudden after he had endured it for so many years. , but as a minister, if the emperor wants to make an irrational decision, he has to persuade him, "Your Majesty, since you took the throne, you have always promoted benevolent government, repeatedly implemented reforms and launched new policies to improve people's livelihood, and made Daheng Kingdom more prosperous than ever before." A period of time will be stronger, minister, in any case, we must not watch Your Majesty destroy the reputation and reputation accumulated over the years due to impulsiveness."

Staring fixedly at Liang Chen for a while, Chu Yuezhi's expression became more and more unpredictable. He didn't seem to care much about the objections of the two courtiers, so he took a sip from the teacup on the imperial case, and then He turned his target to Zhong Qingheng who had been dignified after he came back to his senses, and asked, "Zhong Aiqing, what about you? What do you think? Do you also think that my reputation is more important?"

"Your Majesty." Zhong Qingheng weighed what he wanted to say. Although he was also shocked by Chu Yuezhi's words, after trying to calm down, he could more or less sense that Chu Yuezhi had something to say, so he didn't rush to speak. Put forward objections, but said as calmly as possible: "I don't think that reputation can represent everything, and future generations will judge your majesty's merits and demerits. I believe that future generations will never do anything wrong because of your majesty. Just completely negate the fact that your Majesty is Mingjun. The minister is only worried that if His Majesty really wants to marry Si Shoufu, then not only Your Majesty, but Si Shoufu will also fall into the stigma of the past again."
