fake emperor

Su Suyi looked at the person who was drooling on the bed and was about to fall asleep, shook her head slightly, pinched the quilt for her, then handed the medicine bottle in her hand to Wang Jin, and said: "Give this to your majesty after he wakes up, it will relieve the pain." sore."

Wang Jin took it respectfully, and boldly said: "Your Majesty must be very happy to wake up and see this." As the saying goes, "Through flattery but not flattery". It's hard work, but why not do it if you can please the superiors?

Sure enough, when Qin Zuo woke up the next day, he was so happy that he almost jumped up when he heard Wang Jin finished speaking. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, but the small medicine bottle was carried close to her body.

It went like this for a few days, making the children laugh every day, and making the imperial concubine blush and coquettishly, Qin Zuo felt that life was as happy as a fairy.However, when Empress Dowager Zhu's one-month period passed, such joyous days came to an end, and she had to go back to the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhu spoke politely to the abbots and abbots, and Qin Zuo boarded his car out of boredom.After waiting for Empress Dowager Zhu to get on the sedan chair, she set off from Wan'an Temple in a mighty manner.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the palace, and before our buttocks warmed up, a little eunuch hurriedly whispered something in Wang Jin's ear, Qin Zuo saw it, and suddenly felt bad.

As soon as the little eunuch withdrew, Wang Jin stepped forward and told: Prime Minister Zhuge asked to see him.Qin Zuo frowned even more. Since he took office, he has never summoned any ministers except for the court. Now that Zhuge Changqing is asking to see him, he is afraid that something serious will happen.She hurriedly said, "Quickly declare."

After a while, Zhuge Changqing came here with an anxious expression on his face. After seeing him for a month, the hair on the big fat man's head seemed to be a lot whiter again.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

"Mianli, what's the prime minister doing?" Qin Zuo sat at the head, his face calm, but what was going on in his heart was unknown to outsiders.

Zhuge Changqing didn't open his mouth, and bowed down first, which surprised Qin Zuo. Could it be that thousands of troops have already attacked outside Chang'an City?But no, I came all the way back and found nothing unusual.

"Come here, give me a seat." Qin Zuo twisted his body and said, "Prime Minister, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Zhuge Changqing said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is overflowing. The governor of Henan Province, in order to protect Luoyang, released water upstream, flooding tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land..."

Qin Zuo stood up abruptly, his eyes were red and his whole body was trembling.Thousands of hectares of fertile land!How much food will be produced and how many people can be fed!When she was a child, she experienced a flood, and she really looked up, and it was a vast ocean.Clothes, chickens, sheep, and corpses floated on the water. I dare not look at them or hear them. Countless houses have collapsed and trees have been uprooted.

The common people also reached the point where they had to change their sons to eat. Although the court relief arrived later, less than one out of ten people survived.

Listening to Zhuge Changqing's mention now, the scenes of the past are vivid in my mind, there seems to be wailing in my ears, and I seem to smell the smelly river water in my mouth and nose.He closed his eyes, bit his cheek and said, "According to the Prime Minister, how should we deal with it."

Zhuge Changqing said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my daughter rushed to Luoyang to deal with the disaster a few days ago. For the current plan, we need to allocate funds as soon as possible to relieve refugees and build defenses."

Little girl?Qin Zuo didn't understand, what was your daughter doing when the Yellow River broke its embankment?Could it be that your daughter is the reincarnation of the river god?But she also knew that Zhuge Changqing would not mess up on such a major matter, and she was afraid that some of the inside information was unknown to her.Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "That's the only way. I will make a decree on the appropriation of funds, and the people are the most important thing in everything."

Hearing her words, Zhuge Changqing sighed in his heart, His Majesty finally has the appearance of a Mingjun, knowing that the people are the most important thing.When he entered the palace this time, he allocated 1 taels of silver because the iron cock of the Minister of the Household Department was worthless. As soon as he asked for more, he began to cry and cry for poverty.He had no choice but to come to the emperor to show his face. As for whether the iron rooster would cry poorly in front of the emperor, it was none of his business.

After Zhuge Changqing resigned, Qin Zuo slowly recalled that he was probably the last to know about such a big matter.She paced back and forth, she really had to find a way to establish her own influence, and even got closer to some officials.Zhuge Changqing is loyal, but he is probably used to being in power by himself in the past two years, and now he is used to handling it first by himself, which is not acceptable.Qin Zuo straightened out her train of thought. From this incident, she saw that she was still far behind.

After a while, he waved to Wang Jin and said, "What's the name of Zhuge Changqing's daughter?"

Wang Jin also heard Zhuge Changqing's report just now, knowing that His Majesty must be in a bad mood now, so she said cautiously: "The prime minister's daughter is named Ting."

"Zhuge Ting." Qin Zuo said silently, and suddenly remembered the lost little girl he met in Wan'an Temple. Didn't she call her "Sister Ting"?But after thinking about it, that 'Sister Ting' has a beautiful appearance, and Zhuge Changqing, a big fat man, would definitely not be able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter, so he put out his guess.He asked again: "Can she hold an official position?"

A woman from Daqin can be an official, she thought if Zhuge Ting didn't have an official position, how could she be involved in the big event of the Yellow River's embankment breaking?

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so I forgot, then Miss Zhuge is the vice president of Chang'an College who was appointed by the late emperor." Wang Jin said it sincerely, making Qin Zuo feel that he was really busy with state affairs and forgot.

However, Qin Zuo was very surprised to hear him say that.The Chang'an Academy is the highest hall for Daqin students. It not only teaches some poetry and songs, but also the art of war, tactics, and arithmetic. Today, half of the officials in the court have studied in Chang'an Academy.I don't know what kind of strange woman Zhuge Ting is, to be the vice president of Chang'an College?

She still couldn't believe it, and asked, "How many vice presidents are there in Chang'an College?"

Wang Jin replied: "Two, the other one is Lord Zhou Shangzhou."

Qin Zuo didn't ask any more questions. Master Zhou's bad temper, if he was a bully with the same reputation as him, he would have scolded him to death long ago.But he hadn't heard any rumors, and he thought Zhuge Ting was convinced by him.The two are vice presidents, so who is the better one?She became curious and asked, "Who is the dean of the college?"

Wang Jin's complexion became weird. After holding back for a long time, she finally said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, don't entertain the little ones. Besides Your Majesty, who else in the world can be the dean?"

When Qin Zuo heard it, his heart was so heavy by the incident about the Yellow River just now. The person who couldn't write a poem of his own was actually the dean?After a while, she also knew that she was not worthy of the name of the "principal", so she became interested in the real Zhuge Ting, and asked Wang Jin non-stop.

Seeing that His Majesty was interested, Wang Jin simply pulled out what he knew: "Strictly speaking, Ms. Zhuge should also call Mrs. Su."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Qin Zuo's eyes emitted a light called 'gossip'.

Wang Jindao: "Miss Zhuge was originally the eldest son Su Qingtai who was betrothed to General Hushi, that is, Concubine Su Guifei's brother. Unfortunately, before they got married, Eldest Master Su was ordered to go to Huihe, and unfortunately died in battle. Miss Zhuge also has a strong personality. Yes, although she has not been married, she wears a woman's hair in a bun, and many people have come to propose marriage these years, but she is not married, obviously she is guarding for Young Master Su."

Qin Zuo also sighed, this Zhuge Ting is actually Su Suyi's sister-in-law, the Su family and the Zhuge family seem to have a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't be engaged.But in this way, there are two families standing behind Su Suyi, one civil and one military, no wonder the previous emperor had no choice but to give in.

On the second day of court, Qin Zuo issued an order to allocate funds, and the skinny old man of the Ministry of Finance began to roll all over the floor, telling how poor the Ministry of Accounting was with snot and tears. Eat in three pieces.

Qin Zuo didn't expect this, she thought that she had opened her mouth, it must be a political order.No wonder Zhuge Changqing came to report to her yesterday, presumably to prepare herself mentally, but she didn't understand the meaning, and was caught off guard today.

Fortunately, when it comes to appeasing the refugees, most of the ministers are on the emperor's side, such as Mr. Zhou.Hearing the Minister of the Household Department crying for poverty, he immediately stood up and scolded him, his appearance filled with righteous indignation, as if he was not given money.Qin Zuo, on the other hand, found him more pleasing to the eye, and felt that Mr. Zhou was not unlovable. Look, the scolding was so nice, and the one who quoted scriptures was worthy of being the vice president of the highest school.

Mr. Zhou scolded him heartily, and even let out the anger he got when he asked the Minister of the Ministry of Households to approve the money.Seeing Lord Zhou being so brave, the rest of the angry ministers also came out one after another, and the whole court suddenly became a riot.Although Qin Zuo knew something was wrong, Naihe looked at it to relieve his anger and did not make a sound to stop it.

Finally, the hall suddenly fell silent. Qin Zuo saw that the old man had passed out, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor to call the guards to send the old man back to the mansion. She dared not let the two old officials faint in the hall.When the old man was carried away, the remaining ministers looked at the emperor.

Depressed, Qin Zuo leaned his back on the dragon chair, but in the end he still didn't get the money.With a wave of his hand, Zhuge Changqing asked Zhuge Changqing to dial the 1 taels first, flicked his sleeves, and retreated angrily.

Back at the Hall of Eternal Life, just in time for lunch, Su Suyi had been waiting for a long time with Ah Chou and Little Qingniu.Seeing that Qin Zuo's expression was not right, she asked, "What annoys you?" Originally, she had to say "you" to Qin Zuo, which was more than polite but not intimate, but she changed it slowly, and looked more like a couple.

Qin Zuo sat down angrily and told what happened in the court without shy away.When Su Suyi heard that it was a matter of the vestibule, she knew that she would not ask about it. After listening quietly, she did not express any opinions to avoid suspicion.

On the contrary, Qin Zuo held his breath and couldn't eat. Since she took office, it was the first time that her opinion was rejected by the minister.But she didn't know that because of her 'long absence from court', the ministers restrained themselves a lot for fear of scaring her back.Now, after a long time, there are no scruples, and everyone has begun to recover their nature.
