fake emperor

Chapter 40 Drinking

Since that day, Qin Zuo has become more and more busy. In the final analysis, it is still the rumor.The so-called White Lotus Sect popped up suddenly, as if it had fallen from the sky. People were sent to investigate, but Chou Yinmao was not found.Qin Zuo decreed: Wherever there is the White Lotus Sect, let those Buddhism and Taoism follow, plus some local army support.Isn't the magic stick the magic stick to deal with?

This action opened the eyes of the ministers of the court. In the past, when there were cults, the army would clean them up. But His Majesty's method, not to mention whether it is effective or not, really gave a new way of thinking.

The matter of the White Lotus Sect is not in a hurry, the main thing is how to deal with those rumors?Not only the emperor cherished his reputation, but all the officials also cherished his reputation. If these things happened during his reign, it would not look good in the history books.

As the rumors intensified, hundreds of officials discussed and discussed, and had to sacrifice the reputation of the emperor alone. After all, the emperor is the son of heaven, and less reputation is indispensable. If you don't want to be a minister, your career will not be wide if you lose your reputation.So on Qin Zuo's desk, there was a chapter of a joint letter, asking her to hold a sacrifice and read out the edict of sin.

Qin Zuofan read it three times over and over again. It is true that this brochure was written jointly. The words are so gorgeous and the sentences are so grand that it makes people feel ashamed not to do so.Doesn't the edict of guilt mean pleading guilty?Qin Zuo didn't feel guilty.

He tilted his head, threw the folder aside, got up and went out.Wang Jin followed behind obediently, and now His Majesty is not as unpredictable as before. Except when facing Concubine Su, the emotions in his heart are rarely expressed on his face at other times.It is said that this scripture was submitted by all the officials on their knees, so it must be very important, but now His Majesty is smiling, and there is no clue at all.

As soon as he left the study room, he took a small path, which led to the Hongwen Library, where the princesses and princes studied.After Zhuge Ting was ordered to teach the princess to read a month ago, Qin Zuo would go to see it when he had time.One is to see how Ah Chou is learning, and the other is to follow along. She has never learned knowledge in such a systematic way before. Besides, Zhuge Ting is indeed a talented woman, and her teaching is not rigid. Qin Zuo often listens to it as a story. It's also a way to relax.

Walking to the entrance of the Hongwen Museum, I heard Ah Chou's immature reading, and waved Wang Jin and other palace people to stay outside, and walked in alone.In order not to disturb Ah Chou, she made her movements very lightly, groped in and sat in the last row.Zhuge Ting had seen her a long time ago, and there was a gleam of joy in his eyes, but he didn't express anything else. After all, he was used to it, and taught Ah Chou to read as usual.

After Qin Zuo listened for a while, she knew all these things, so she started to desert and look around.This Hongwen Hall is the second only to the Hall of Eternal Life and the Hall of Ci'an built in the harem. After all, the emperors of all dynasties paid attention to the education of their younger generations.But in the past, the royal heirs were prosperous, but now there are only two of them, and one of them is under the age of studying. There is only Ah Chou in the huge palace, which is a bit lonely.

Qin Zuo thought for a while, why not drag the school-age children of some important officials in the court to be with Ah Chou, anyway, they would not dare to bully Ah Chou, and by the way, they also won the hearts of those important officials.She suddenly felt that she was too kind. Those courtiers united to bully her. She also thought that their children would be taught by the most talented woman in Daqin. It was so kind.

After A Chou got out of class, Qin Zuo told Zhuge Ting about his thoughts.Zhuge Ting rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty treats the ministers as free labor?" It is relatively easy for her to teach Ah Chou alone, if there are more than ten people, she will not do it if she has a headache.

Qin Zuo was in a hurry: "Where is it free? Didn't I make you a young master?"

Yes, by name!When Zhuge Ting thought of those children running around, forming cliques, quarreling and fighting, he resolutely said: "I don't agree, the princess is already exhausted every day, and I can't eat well or sleep well. Your Majesty can You have to be considerate, sir."

Qin Zuo looked at her rosy complexion, and said 'I can't eat well or sleep well', the devil believed it, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young Master Zhuge, anyway, teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group is also good. Teach, I believe in you!"

Seeing her suddenly pat him on the shoulder, Zhuge Ting was stunned for a while, and then he came to his senses, but his train of thought was interrupted, and he couldn't think of a reason, so he just said bluntly: "Anyway, I don't agree."

"Look, look." Qin Zuo pointed at her and said with a smile, "You're making too much sense, this matter is settled like this. After a while, I will make an order when the court is not busy." After saying that, he hugged Ah Chou wants to leave.

As soon as Zhuge Ting heard "chaozhong", she thought of the papers from the officials at the court this morning. Although she didn't read it, she could guess it. After all, she had the same idea at the beginning.There were not many emperors who issued an imperial edict in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty, but each of them had a bad reputation. Now that His Majesty is being forced by the ministers to issue an imperial edict, he must be in a bad mood.Seeing that Qin Zuo was about to walk to the door, he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty..."

Qin Zuo turned his head, blinked and said, "Why? Master Shao Fu has figured it out and agreed?"

Zhuge Ting bit her lip, seeing this man's relaxed appearance, she didn't see anything wrong, but she had already made up her mind that the emperor's thoughts would not be on her face anyway.

"I heard that the palace has received some new wine, shouldn't His Majesty give some reward?" Zhuge Ting blushed slightly, but still looked straight at her and asked a little slyly.

Qin Zuo didn't think about anything else, only thought that this person was greedy. She had heard that Zhuge Changqing was good at drinking, so his daughter must be not weak.So he smiled generously and said: "Young Fu is well informed, let Wang Jin take you to get it, and take as much as you want."

Zhuge Ting rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has no sincerity at all."

Qin Zuo smiled, looked at the sky, thought that it wouldn't take long to take her to get it, and would not let Su Suyi wait for her to eat, so he nodded and said: "Then I will take you there personally, is it okay?"

Zhuge Ting nodded with a smile, like a little fox.

When the three of them went out, the nurse next to Su Suyi had been waiting to pick up A Chou, so Qin Zuo asked her to take A Chou back first.Ah Chou was also obedient, but before leaving, he smeared Qin Zuo on the face, which made His Majesty the emperor smile and narrow his eyes.

Qin Zuo led Zhuge Ting to the warehouse, and chatted while walking: "With your father's temperament, your family hasn't made good wine yet?" The emperor is airy, and he is not afraid of others even if he takes over, so the two of them are more like friends, and they talk casually.

Zhuge Ting spread his hands: "My father finished drinking."

"You also like to drink?" Qin Zuo asked casually, otherwise why would you only want wine and nothing else.

Zhuge Ting casually said 'hmm', and then heard Qin Zuo say, "It's better to drink less alcohol, too much alcohol will hurt your health."

Zhuge Ting gave her a strange look, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Qin Zuo was used to bickering with her, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't care about you, it's just a pity for my fine wine."

Zhuge Ting's little nose snorted softly, and muttered: "Stingy..."

Her voice was too low and Qin Zuo didn't hear clearly, but she didn't intend to ask again. Anyway, it's not a good thing, so just ignore it.

There are many warehouses in the palace, and the wine is stored in the warehouse not far from the imperial dining room. Qin Zuo can't find it, but he doesn't worry about getting lost with Wang Jin leading the way.

When I walked to the storeroom, I naturally didn't need to go get it myself, I asked the palace servants to take out a box. Anyway, there is very little alcohol in the palace, so it doesn't matter if you give more.

The wine was also given, and he was about to send Zhuge Ting out of the palace, but unexpectedly Zhuge Ting said again: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to have a few drinks with your ministers?"

Only then did Qin Zuo feel something was wrong, looked her up and down, and found Zhuge Ting very unnatural, and then said, "Do you have something on your mind?"

I'm obviously afraid that you have something on your mind, okay?Since you misunderstood, don't blame me, Zhuge Ting lowered his head and hummed lightly.

Qin Zuo frowned, looked at her in embarrassment, and finally sighed and said to Wang Jin: "Go and tell Concubine Su that you don't have to wait for me for lunch." Wang Jin quietly glanced at Zhuge Ting, then took the order and left .

"Let's go, anyway, let's enter the imperial dining room, let's talk while eating." Qin Zuo said.

Zhu Geting's goal was achieved, and he followed with a smile. Qin Zuo really asked someone to move a table and chairs outside the imperial dining room and sat down, put the wine on the table, and called someone to bring some meat and vegetables.After everyone had left, he said to Zhuge Ting who was pouring wine for him, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhuge Ting picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink first and then talk!" As he spoke, he drank it all first, then frowned and looked at Qin Zuo with bright eyes, as if he was urging him.

Qin Zuo was helpless, she hadn't had a drink for a long time, if Zhuge Ting hadn't seen that Zhuge Ting was in a bad state today, and she treated her as a friend, she wouldn't drink with her, she would have gone to eat with Su Suyi earlier.He raised his head and drank up the fine wine in the glass, smacking his mouth, the wine is good wine.

Before he recovered, Zhuge Ting poured it for her again, then touched her lightly with the wine glass, and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for being willing to accompany me today." Then he was bored again.

Qin Zuo was dumbfounded, she asked to accompany her for a few drinks, so this is how to drink?If I had known earlier, I would not have come.After barely finishing the glass, he immediately covered the mouth of the glass with his hands, stopping the woman who was about to pour her wine again.

Seeing her like this, Zhuge Ting knew that there was no need to rush, put down the jug, and shot straight in: "I heard that this book was published by the officials this morning."

Qin Zuo squinted at her and said, "What?"

Zhuge Ting drank two glasses of wine, his cheeks were already slightly red, he looked at Qin Zuo with a half-smile and asked, "Are you unhappy?" She knew that if she asked in a roundabout way, she would not be able to ask in eight lifetimes, so she wanted to wait until she was happy after drinking. , it can be seen that His Majesty does not want to drink anymore, so he simply asked directly.

It was only then that Qin Zuo suddenly realized that this man had something on his mind, he was clearly afraid that he would be in a bad mood, so he suggested drinking in a roundabout way.There is something warm in my heart, and this friend still hasn't crossed paths.He took the initiative to pour himself a glass and said, "It's hard for you to miss me so much."

Zhuge Ting gave her a white look, what is "remembering", can this word be used like this?But he also had a drink with Qin Zuo.

Zhuge Ting swallowed the wine in his mouth, his face became even redder, he shook his head and said, "If you are unhappy, you can tell me, anyway, I am not a member of the imperial court." She is a member of the academy and is indeed independent Outside the court.

Qin Zuo pursed his lips, looked at her for a while, and said after drinking another glass, "I told you, do you have a solution?"

Zhuge Ting's face became hot when she saw her, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the wine or because of people, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, he quickly turned his head away, and said: "If you want to talk about today's memorial, I'd rather There is a plan."
