Chapter 1041 She Is the only One Who Deserves to Ride with Me
"Slaves, as ministers, should be vigilant and encouraging day and night, without slack, to serve the king. As a concubine, the queen's own success or failure is closely related to the king's welfare, and she should serve the king without slack. As a woman, if If you can't assist the monarch with the righteous way, you will waste your own virtue!"
"And the empress, as the empress of the middle palace, should respectfully accept and firmly remember when she hears other people's advice to her."
I don't know if what the speaker said was really about Ruoyin.
Still insinuatingly reminding fourth master.
As a wise king, you must listen to the advice of others and remember it firmly.
Immediately afterwards, not only the officials were impeaching the Queen of the Palace.
Even some civil and military officials followed suit.
Some of them are bureaucrats with secret collusion.
There are also some who are the natal families of the concubines in the harem.
Naturally, he felt resentful that fourth master only favored Ruoyin.
"Slaves believe that the heaven and the earth are respected and the earth is inferior, and women should serve their husbands as they serve heaven, with a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. Husbands are yang and women are yin, and yang takes the initiative, so they are vigorous and autocratic. Yin dominates tranquility, so they are submissive and obedient. From queens and concubines, to If the wives of common people follow this principle to serve their husbands, their families will surely prosper, otherwise the country will be ruined and their families will perish.”
"Yes, it's like there is no main rope on the net, so many meshes can't be opened. If there is no law to follow, it will sink and die. Trees wither and wither because there are insects attacking inside; state affairs are abandoned because There are promiscuous female pets to confuse the king. The ancients called female sex a female weapon, and you should guard against female pets like you guard against soldiers. The Book of Songs says: The majestic Zhou Dynasty died because King You favored Baosi. The harm of female pets can be Aren't you vigilant?"
so and so...
When it came to mentioning Fourth Master, they still weighed their words and grasped the status of the monarch and his ministers.
But when it came to Ruoyin, they couldn't care less.
One, it was because they met fourth master face to face.
As the saying goes, when you meet, you need to be kind.
What's more, the one in front of them was the cold-faced emperor.
Of course, you have to show some sympathy, and you can't speak too directly, so that the emperor can't get off the stage.
But the Queen is different.
They couldn't see the queen in the harem, so they didn't need to show any affection.
If you impeach behind your back, you will naturally be bolder and say what you have.
Moreover, the status of the queen is not as good as the emperor.
The identity of women is not as good as that of men, which caused them to attribute everything to Ruoyin.
It's just that Ruoyin is a witch who harms the people of the country and seduces the king.
At this moment, all kinds of voices and doubts filled the first emperor who had been on the throne for less than a year.
Every word they said hit his heart with a small sense of accomplishment.
A moment ago, they were still praising his political achievements.
But in the next moment, everyone was impeaching him for his recent love for the queen.
Can fish and bear's paw really have both?
When he first came to the throne, his foundation was not stable.
At that time, his throne could be said to be crumbling.
He will make some achievements to let everyone know that he is not what the public opinion says.
Government affairs made him too busy to care about other things, let alone her.
Now, his throne is secure.
In addition, the queen is pregnant and eats badly, which is really worrying.
Whenever he was free, he would have dinner with her.
Even if you don't have time, make time to be with her.
Even, all the time to go to the people in the harem was given to her.
But I didn't expect that it was only two months since I favored the queen, and it actually provoked the impeachment of all the officials.
This made him, who had a sense of accomplishment less than a year after ascending the throne, fall into a tangle.
Undoubtedly, the moment he ascended the throne, he secretly vowed to be a good emperor, a wise king for the country and the people!
This reminded him of what Huang Kao had told him when he was still alive.
God is fair, it allows you to gain something, and at the same time, it will also make you lose something.
Being an emperor means losing all emotions.
What brothers, husband and wife, father and son, mother and son...
Those feelings are insignificant in front of the imperial power and the country.
Because, as long as one becomes an emperor, the country comes first, and then oneself.
The rest is nothing.
Looking back now, it seemed that he had never had those feelings in his life.
And he has long been used to it and recognized it.
But now, why is there a dull pain in the heart?
Fourth Master frowned and stopped thinking about it.
The most urgent task now is to solve this matter.
He narrowed his eyes and looked down at the officials below.
It's okay to say one or two, but most of the officials are talking about this matter.
As the emperor, fourth master had to respond.
In the end, he also set his sights on Ba Ye and Jiu Ye.
Anyway, they used to compete for the throne together, and fourth master knew them both very well.
From the resources under their hands to the subordinates, he knows everything.
Most of the civil and military officials who impeached the queen just now were their disciples.
The rest are officials from the mother clan of the harem concubines.
Although the impeachment of officials and officials is true.
But most of it was caused by the two of them.
Very well, he memorized it all.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth master held his lips and said: "When the empress was in the hidden residence, she was frugal and not extravagant in terms of clothing and food. She was not jealous, not arrogant, and strictly abided by her duties. She also treated the imperial heirs equally. Treating the Empress Dowager is also filial and courteous. Even the late Emperor praised her for her filial piety when he was alive, and all the ministers must have heard of this."
officers:"......"
I think back then, after Emperor Kangxi had a meal in the Old Summer Palace.
That immediately gave fourth master an errand, and praised the couple for their filial piety.
"Not only that, but she never competes for favor. On the contrary, she often persuades me to share the rain and dew. It's just that I care about her having an heir, so I take special care of him. After all, there are differences in the royal family."
As he said that, he paused slightly, and then his eyes fell on those relatives.
Then, he withdrew his eyes and continued: "As for the empress sitting on the dragon chariot with me, I let her sit on it. She is my empress, not a concubine next to me. Only she is worthy of my dragon chariot." Is there anything wrong with riding with me?"
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon chair, noble, cold and arrogant.
And the appearance of him bowing his head under the palace seems to be looking down at the world and looking down on all living beings!
It doesn't seem like he is above ten thousand people.
However, who knows everything in his heart, the heights are too cold.
They only knew that he always had a cold appearance.
When speaking, there is a kind of awe-inspiring chill and arrogance of absolute authority.
And what he said made it clear that his queen was a good queen.
He was the one who was in a daze and insisted on pampering her.
As a result, more than half of the officials who were still chattering were so frightened that they knelt down, trembling and afraid to speak.
There is only one speaker, who is still admonishing without fear of death: "Your Majesty, we are all waiting for your own good, and I hope that the Qing Dynasty will be good, so I am admonishing, I hope..."
"I know exactly what I'm doing, and I know how to proceed." Fourth Master said in a deep voice before the speaker could finish speaking.
The meaning of this is obvious.
Said that he listened to their advice.
Also know what you do will bring about.
Changes will be made accordingly.
After all, only faint kings and tyrants can't listen to harsh advice.
As a result, the officials naturally shut up one after another, not daring to say anything more.
Remonstrance belongs to remonstrance, but there must be a degree.
If you are still aggressive and chattering, isn't that courting death?
Seeing that the officials below stopped talking, Fourth Master said indifferently: "Who else has objections and needs advice?"
A cold voice without any emotion came out of those cold lips.
Under the Ji hat, a pair of eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the pupils are more stern and sharp, and the cold is so cold that people dare not peep any more.
On his handsome and resolute cheeks, his long eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was impatient or worried.
But it was the frowning that made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
For a moment, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
Not even daring to breathe.
All of them held their breath and concentrated, and they had long lost the spirit of impeaching the queen.
Seeing this, Fourth Master glanced at everyone, and said in a calm tone, "Okay, then retreat!"
Perhaps it was the remonstrance of so many officials that awakened an emperor who was about to fall.
Or, as he said, he knew exactly what he was doing.
Therefore, in the next few days, fourth master neither called Ruoyin nor checked her signboard.
Not to mention setting foot in the harem.
He just nestled in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, reviewing memorials day and night.
And those memorials flying all over the sky were all about impeaching Ruoyin and persuading fourth master not to favor the queen exclusively.
I have read too much of this kind of book, and it is inevitable that I will feel angry.
That night, I saw Fourth Master sitting in front of the throne in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
He who was always focused when reviewing memorials unexpectedly panicked for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, the next moment, he swept away the mountain of memorials, and swept them all to the ground.
Only a few scattered memorials were left, which were impressively placed on the throne.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurried forward and picked it up one by one.
The emperor doesn't want to see these memorials, but as the personal chief executive, he can't really let them go.
Alas, he has served the emperor for so many years, and he has never seen him so angry.
In the past, no matter how angry the emperor was, he would never make things difficult for him.
Now it's actually throwing away the memorial.
It doesn't matter, the key is that the emperor has not rested for three days and three nights.
Just when Su Peisheng was picking up the memorial and worrying about it.
He heard an indifferent and cold voice from above his head: "Pick up whatever, go to Yongshou Palace!"
His voice was a little depressed, and there was a little anger.
"Hey." Although Su Peisheng agreed, he still picked up a large handful of memorials and put them on the table before following the fourth master who was walking out.
Before leaving, he ordered the little eunuch to pick up all the remaining memorials.
Now, he can only pray in his heart, hoping that the empress can persuade the emperor.
Otherwise, it would be a body made of iron, and it would not be able to withstand such a toss.
