Raise an emperor as a villain

Ming Jue sent Duan Wenzheng away, and was worried about Lu Hengxiu, so he sent Tianshu back to the palace to report the letter, and then walked into Chengqian Hall by himself.

The news of Emperor Rui's death had spread, and there was no one in the harem to make decisions, so many concubines came over all of a sudden.They all brought their maids and eunuchs with them, rushed in all of a sudden, and they all burst into mourning.

Ming Jue was originally sitting on a chair in the outer hall to rest, but his brain ached from their quarrel, so he got up and walked out by himself.

Ming Jue walked into the courtyard, and found that the sky had already darkened, and the pattering rain was still falling, but it seemed to stop, so he didn't hold an umbrella.

Although he has become the emperor at this moment, there is no place for him to rest in peace in this huge palace.

In the Ankang Hall behind the Chengqian Palace, there was still an emperor who had just passed away, and the room was filled with people who were crying sincerely and falsely, and he couldn't wait.Empress Zhou was his biological mother, but she was very indifferent to him, even disgusted.He also didn't want to go to the Palace of Tranquility.As for the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager has no will, so he can't go there rashly.

All of a sudden, there was a feeling that the world was so big, and this body was ethereal and helpless, so I missed Lu Hengxiu even more.

"Your Majesty," a voice sounded behind Ming Jue, but it was Shen Yizhong who followed. "The emperor must be tired. It is not easy to rest in Chengqian Palace, otherwise the emperor will come with the servants and go to the nearby Jianji Pavilion to rest."

Ming Jue nodded when he heard the words, and followed Shen Yizhong vigilantly.He didn't know exactly where Jianji Pavilion was. He had been away from the imperial palace for too long, and his activities were only in the Eastern Palace when he was a child, so he didn't remember this place at all.

Although Ming Jue had doubts in his heart, he didn't rush to ask, he just suppressed his curiosity and followed Shen Yizhong.

Shen Yizhong had a keen mind and seemed to be aware of Ming Jue's doubts. He explained by himself: "Your Majesty, this Jianji Pavilion was originally a resting place for Gao Zu to discuss matters with ministers too late after the founding of the country. Later, With the Zhengshitang, the Jianji Pavilion will be deserted."

Shen Yizhong watched Ming Jue's expression while talking, afraid that he would be angry if he disliked Jianji Pavilion, but fortunately Ming Jue was expressionless and just nodded when he heard the words.

Ming Jue originally thought that the place that had been abandoned for a long time must be very dilapidated, but when he arrived at Jianji Pavilion, he found that it was very clean, and the people who cleaned it were also orderly.Just a little less angry.

"There are portraits of the 24 heroes who founded the country. Although it is vacant, there are people cleaning and guarding it every day." Shen Yizhong explained in time, and at the same time ordered his men to clean up the room for Ming Jue.

Soon the little eunuchs made up the quilts and made the beds, lit the stove, and lit the ambergris brought from Chengqian Hall.

After Ming Jue took a bath, he lay on the bed and felt that the bone-chilling clamminess had eased a bit.The room was warm and filled with the scent of ambergris.

After making arrangements, Shen Yizhong led the people back out, and closed the door by the way.

Ming Jue closed his eyes, exhaustion and pain swept over him like a tide, but he didn't dare to fall asleep right there, and just closed his eyes to rest.

As soon as I close my eyes, I feel that the night around me is dark, and I don't know what kind of "beast" is watching in the dark, and I just pounce on it and devour it when I slack off.Ming Jue knew that this was all due to his own guarding. In this palace, in an unfamiliar environment, he didn't have anyone he could trust and rely on, so he was so uneasy.

It took a long time for Mingjue to fall asleep, and woke up early the next morning.

Li Shanxi, the head of Chengqian Palace, died, and Shen Yizhong was in charge, and he was still the one who waited on Ming Jue to get up in the morning.

Ming Jue hadn't formally ascended the throne yet, so he didn't go to the early court, and only summoned officials of the third rank and above to discuss matters in the political affairs hall.Duan Wenzheng, who always claimed to be out of illness, also recovered quickly, and went to Zhengshitang early in the morning to wait.

Ming Jue has no experience in governing a country. He has been a prince for eight years and a vassal for 12 years. No one has ever taught him these things.So he had to rely on Duan Wenzheng and other senior ministers in the DPRK for everything, and Ming Jue just sat there like a puppet, listening to the endless debate among the people in the hall.

But even so, Ming Jue was not impatient at all, instead he sat upright and listened to the arguments of the ministers very carefully.

It's as serious as when he was in Zhan Taihong's army when he was listening to their discussions.

Occasionally someone asks for his life and comes to ask for his opinion.Ming Jue just shook his head, then looked like Duan Wenzheng asking for help, and then said blankly: "I don't know what to do, what's the opinion of Mr. Duan Ge?"

Every time this happened, all the ministers knew it in their hearts all morning.Thinking: No wonder Duan Wenzheng will support him to the throne. This legendary God of War prince seems to be an ignorant and reckless man. Even if he becomes the emperor now, he is just a puppet controlled by a string.At the same time, it also made it clear that in today's Xiao Ming Dynasty, Duan Wenzheng is the real ruler.

Ming Jue listened from the side, not forgetting the time, and ordered people to prepare meals early.When it was almost noon, Ming Jue interrupted them, and asked: "It's getting late, and you must be tired, why don't you take a rest for a while."

The ministers knew clearly that they should have dispersed by this time, so they had to stand up and leave one after another.

Ming Jue stopped them again, "Zhu Qing don't need to go back to the mansion anymore, everything is complicated now, everyone will have a meal in the palace, and go back at night."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words. It was not uncommon for the emperor to keep people to eat in the palace, but there had never been such a large-scale stay of everyone regardless of rank.So he underestimated Ming Jue a bit, thinking that one is because he doesn't know the rules, and the other is that he doesn't have the majesty of a king.

Of course, some people are grateful to Ming Jue, thinking that he is sympathetic to his subjects and has the demeanor of a benevolent monarch.The ministers had different thoughts, but they all had to follow orders to stay.

The food delivered by the Imperial Dining Room was arranged in the side room of the main hall of the Political Affairs Hall. Ming Jue did not leave after finishing speaking, and led a group of ministers to walk there, intending to have dinner with them.

There are a few large tables arranged in the side room. Although they are in the same room, the layout is quite different, and it is not too rude.

Ming Jue ate alone at the table, he picked up the chopsticks and put them down again.All the ministers did not dare to act presumptuously, and all looked at Ming Jue respectfully.

"I see that there seem to be a few more dishes on my table than Zhu Qing's, and it's impossible to share them evenly. Duan Ge has worked so hard, why don't you come and eat with me." Ming Jue looked at Duan Wenzheng and said.

"The old minister has no talent or virtue, so he dare not be loved so much by the emperor." Duan Wenzheng pretended to decline, but he couldn't hide his complacency on his face.

Halfway through the meal, a young eunuch begged to see him at the door, and came to tell Ming Jue that the Queen Mother wanted to see him.

So Ming Jue put down his chopsticks, took Shen Yizhong and several young eunuchs with him to Shoukang Palace.

Before leaving, he told the ministers: "All you can discuss on your own. If you can't make a decision on something, let Mr. Duan make up his mind!"
