The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

It's a good move to retreat.

After Shui Rong finished speaking, she left quickly. Wu Zhao looked at Shui Rong's back for a long time, then smiled, and sat down slowly. She knew very well that Shui Rong was a smart person. Maybe he was suspicious and wondered. It's just that it didn't express it, but it seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

Wei Ruolan's marriage has already been settled, and Shui Rong had promised Wu Zhao before, saying that after Wei Ruolan's matter was settled, he would make Wu Zhao the queen.

A few days later, it was a routine morning court again, and all the officials came to the court hall one after another. Because Jia Yun was the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, she also came to court at this meeting.

He entered the palace gate, but before he reached the gate of the court hall, he was stopped by someone, and when he looked up, it was either someone else, or Prince Zhongshun.

Jia Yun hurriedly saluted Prince Zhongshun and said, "Jia Yun pays homage to the prince."

Prince Zhongshun smiled coldly and said, "I can't afford it."

Jia Yun was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she immediately understood that it must be because of Princess Yongning. At Wei Ruolan's wedding banquet that day, Princess Yongning cried very sadly and left soon after. Yes, and after a few days, I have never seen Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning didn't seem to come into the palace either, saying that she was sick and was recuperating at home.

Jia Yun was a little embarrassed. He was actually thinking about Princess Yongning in his heart. He wondered if Princess Yongning was really ill after he left that day. Besides, it was just a misunderstanding between him and Lin Hongyu that day.

I didn't expect to bump into him like that. If I had known it was Lin Hongyu, Jia Yun would not have gone to solve the siege. He was slapped that day, and the princess cried sadly. Jia Yun felt really uncomfortable, but There is no time to make amends.

Seeing Prince Zhongshun now, Prince Zhongshun had disliked him in the past, but today he seemed to dislike him even more, Jia Yun felt a chill in her heart, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Prince Zhongshun said coldly: "What is your crime?"

Jia Yun said: "Your official...doesn't intend to offend the princess."

Prince Zhongshun smiled and said, "Offended?"

He was already cold and ruthless, but now that Jia Yun said that, he sneered even more, his face was like that of a ghost from hell, his face was as cold as scum, and he said, "You know, why does this king look down on you?"

Jia Yun's heart was shocked, and she looked up at Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun looked down on him. In fact, Jia Yun already knew that Prince Zhongshun despised him for being too low-ranked and unworthy of the princess. Climbing up, enough family status, can be worthy of the princess.

But to be honest, if the family status is different, and they marry together in the future, how should they live?How to adapt to each other is impossible.

A trace of misery crossed Jia Yun's face, she laughed at herself and said, "Your official..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Zhongshun said in a cold voice, "Because you even despise yourself."

Jia Yun was shocked when he heard this, and Prince Zhongshun said again: "Whether it's your lintel or your status, you don't even look down on yourself, how can you make others look up to you? Jia Yun, you really think that after being promoted to an official , can she be worthy of my daughter? Even if she is a first-rank official, duke and duke, what can she do?"

Jia Yun seemed a little dazed, she just stared blankly at Prince Zhongshun, who had already walked straight forward, and said, "Since you don't have this idea, then stop it as soon as possible."

He said that's all, and immediately walked into the court, leaving Jia Yun in a daze for a long time.

The courtiers entered the court one after another, stood up according to the ranks, and walked out of the inner hall gracefully with their faces water-soluble, and everyone knelt down and shouted long live.

Shui Rong seemed to be in a good mood today, and said, "Dear dears, do you have something to say?"

Everyone hurriedly went to the book, and all kinds of affairs were in order. Don't look at the new emperor ascending the throne, but the water-soluble ability is there, and everything is in order. The court has not been affected by the rebellion at all, and everything is very normal.

Shui Rong beat some memorials face to face, and then said: "If there is nothing else, I have an important matter."

Everyone stood up one after another, waiting for the emperor to say something important, Shui Rong said: "I have decided that it will be an auspicious day, and it will be the canonization of the Lin family as the empress of the palace."

As soon as his words came out, the officials immediately exploded, Lin Ruhai stood in the row, immediately raised his head and glanced at Shui Rong, and then he was ecstatic, not for the queen's position, but for his own daughter, the emperor was devoted to his daughter, Now that his daughter is being canonized as a queen, isn't this more proof that the emperor treats her very well?Lin Ruhai felt relieved.

There was a commotion among the ministers, and someone immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the harem is not yet full, and the appointment of a queen, isn't it... a little too hasty?"

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, your Majesty is the first to ascend the Great Treasure, so he should order the Ministry of Household Affairs to open up the door to recruit beautiful women and plump the harem. Only in this way can we select a woman with both integrity and ability to be the mother of the country!"

"That's right, and the emperor is so young, and Lin is the only one in the harem, wait for a lot of recruits, and it won't be too late to become a queen!"

When everyone said this, Lin Ruhai frowned immediately, unexpectedly there were many people who opposed it.

Shui Rong laughed, and said, "What? I am the first to ascend the Great Treasure, shouldn't I pay more attention to the people's sentiments, and the first priority is to accept the concubine, what is the connection?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, looking at me and looking at him, and then someone stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lin is gentle and smart, and she comes from a family, so she is naturally the best candidate for the empress, but... Your Majesty ...Today, many courtiers have heard that the empress...the empress's behavior is too...too authoritarian, I am afraid that if Lin is appointed as the empress, she will...interfere in the government affairs, and there will be endless troubles!"

After the man finished speaking, there was actually a person with a ticket to agree with him.

Many people have heard of Shui Rong's ascension to the throne these days. Some of the schemes were actually thought up by Wu Zhao. A daughter's family is more powerful than a hundred men's schemes, which makes these courtiers fearful.

In particular, there is another important reason, and that is Wu Zhao's father, Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is now the left deputy capital censor of the picket house, and this position is extremely unflattering, especially Lin Ruhai is ignorant, unselfish, and says what he says and what he says.

Especially these days, Lin Ruhai is also managing the affairs of the Jia family and the Wang family, and his methods are vigorous and decisive. Many people are terrified and want to find fault with him immediately. If his daughter really becomes the queen, then nine out of ten officials in the court, Wouldn't they all be found out for corruption?

In this way, there will be people who object to it.

General Gao and the others were all people who followed Wu Zhao through life and death. They were very upright, and immediately argued: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is straightforward and smart. She is definitely not the kind of person who disrupts the government. Please learn from me!"

"General Gao has been at the border all year round, how much do you know?"

"Yes."

Shui Rong immediately had a bad face and looked too good-looking. Of course, the majority of people opposed it. On the one hand, they were afraid of the Lin family, and on the other hand, they wanted to fill their own daughter into the harem. Nine out of ten people were actually against it.

Shui Rong was sitting on the dragon chair with an ugly expression on his face, when suddenly someone rushed in and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something is wrong!"

The man rushed in, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news that a rare earthquake occurred in my dynasty! Now that there is plenty of rain, the earthquake also caused mudslides, which have already destroyed many houses and buildings. Farmland, Your Majesty!"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately made a commotion, and several of them, their eyes lit up.

Someone said sincerely: "Your Majesty!! This is God's will. Even God thinks that the Emperor has risen too early at this time, and Lin must have hurt his sanity. He actually provoked the wrath of God, and this is the disaster!"

General Gao was immediately angry. Why was Lin Ruhai not? How could his daughter have something to do with the earthquake? It was obvious that those people were trying to force their way. Just as Lin Ruhai was about to speak, Shui Rong slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with a "Boom!" , All the ministers were so frightened that they knelt down and shivered.

Shui Rong stood up coldly, looked around the crowd slowly, and said: "Nowadays a natural disaster is happening, it's better for you, look at you, my civil and military officials, one by one, they don't know how to solve the problem immediately, but they turned the natural disaster into a man-made disaster." , I’m here to hear you say this?”

All the ministers were too frightened to make a sound, and after listening to the emperor's reprimand, they quickly kowtowed and said, "The guilty ministers are terrified, please appease the emperor!"

Shui Rong said coldly: "Sanchao, regarding the earthquake, all ministries will give me a detailed summary soon."

"Yes!"

The ministers didn't dare to take a breath, and quickly agreed to them all. Shui Rong didn't say a word, flicked his sleeves, and immediately walked into the inner hall. Then all the ministers got down one after another, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and then all Walked out of the court, and hurried to the classroom to discuss.

Wu Zhao was in the harem, and had already heard about the earthquake, and many people "attributed" the earthquake to themselves.

Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing, if he could really say that an earthquake is an earthquake, wouldn't he be a god?

Shui Rong had an angry look on his face, and quickly walked in from the outside. When he saw Wu Zhao, he quickly restrained his anger, put on a peaceful and gentle appearance, and said with a smile, "Wu'er."

Seeing him coming in, Wu Zhao asked Shui Rong to sit down, and said, "The emperor's smile is uglier than crying."

Shui Rong pulled her over, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Okay, you still dare to laugh at me?"

Wu Zhao said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I have already heard about the matter in the court, so you don't need to hide it deliberately."

Shui Rong sighed, and said: "Now you are not in good health, I don't want you to bother."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Why do you bother with these things? What's urgent now is the earthquake. If you can't handle it well, I'm afraid some officials will take advantage of this opportunity. Take advantage of the emperor and embarrass the emperor."

Shui Rong gently stroked Wu Zhao's cheek and said, "It's still Wu Er who understands things."

In the afternoon, the summaries of various ministries came out. This earthquake was indeed a rare event in a century, and it affected a wide range. Not only the houses of wealthy families were destroyed by the earthquake, but also the low houses and thatched houses of many ordinary people were destroyed by heavy rain and mudslides. It was washed away, and the fields were literally washed up in ruins.

The Ministry of War has already begun to prepare to send troops to rescue, the Ministry of Households is calculating the relief money allocated, and the Ministry of Industry has begun to consider various issues of reconstruction, etc. There are countless memorials submitted by various ministries.

Shui Rong watched from the afternoon until late at night, comparing the memorials back and forth, instructing silver, food, soldiers and horses and so on.

Shui Rong frowned. Under the dim light, holding a vermilion pen in his hand, he seemed to be very focused. He was browsing a memorial. When Wu Zhao entered, there was only one eunuch waiting inside. Seeing that Wu Zhao had come so late, the eunuch immediately I want to say hello.

Wu Zhao waved his hand, and the eunuch quickly retreated.

Wu Zhao walked in and gently put the cloak in his hand on Shui Rong's shoulders.

Shui Rong was so focused that he didn't hear the sound at all. When someone touched his shoulder, he immediately reacted, grabbed Wu Zhao's hand suddenly, looked up, and was afraid of hurting Wu Zhao, so he quickly let go of his hand and rubbed it. Rubbing his forehead, he said, "Wu'er, you haven't rested yet, it's too late."

Wu Zhao said: "The emperor hasn't rested yet?"

Shui Rong threw the memorial on the table, and said: "There are still some chapters I haven't finished reading, so I'll go to bed soon."

Wu Zhao said with a smile: "The emperor can't even tell a lie? I'm afraid it will be dawn soon."

Shui Rong took Wu Zhao's hand, feeling that her palms were a little cold, and asked someone to sit in his arms, gave her a drink, and said, "It's too cold at night, and you are not in good health, so don't come here. I guess there is no way to accompany you, after a while...Maybe I have to go out in person."

Wu Zhao was not much surprised. Now that Shui Rong has just ascended the throne, such a natural disaster happened. Many people are superstitious and think that it is a punishment from God. A trip to the disaster area, whether it is for appearances, buying people's hearts, or sincerely.

Shui Rong instructed: "I'm not here, if you're bored, you can find Yongning to enter the palace, and go talk to the Queen Mother."

Wu Zhao smiled and said: "If the emperor is not here, what should I do if I catch a cold on weekdays? What if I go to bed late, what should I do? What if I throw the food to Si'er again?"

Shui Rong heard it, and said with a smile: "You little rascal, are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

Wu Zhao said again: "If the emperor is not here, what should I do if I fall in love with a handsome young man?"

Shui Rong immediately laughed angrily, and said, "Is there anyone more handsome than me?"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "So...please the emperor take me there."

After hearing this, Shui Rong was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Are you going to the disaster area?"

Wu Zhao nodded lightly, and Shui Rong said decisively: "No, this is absolutely impossible, Wu'er, you are already weak, and now you have a happy event, so you must not run around. That place is a disaster area, and you don't know when There will be another natural disaster, I am absolutely worried."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you relieved of leaving me here? Your fellow officials wish that I would die sooner and the child die sooner, so that they would have a chance to stuff their daughter into the harem." Come."

When Shui Rong heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Don't say such unlucky things."

Wu Zhao said: "But this is the truth, presumably... the emperor has thought about it, what's more... this time, many courtiers have heard that I offended the heavens, and that's why I came down to heaven. If I don't go and find out now , buy people's hearts, how can you stop the people talking?"

Shui Rong still frowned and said, "That being said..."

When he said this, Wu Zhao suddenly leaned forward, kissed Shui Rong on the lips, and said with a light smile, "Besides, I can't bear to be separated from the emperor, can I?"

Seeing Wu Zhao's smile, Shui Rong immediately smiled helplessly, and said, "Is this going to be tricked by a beauty?"

Wu Zhao said: "Then the emperor...will you eat this set?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Other people will definitely not eat, but Wu Er's, of course."
