Chapter 591 Qi Huang and 2 others
Outside Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Zhu Chongba and Zhao Zheng discussed many other things.
But Yu'er, who was standing at a distance, knew nothing about it until Zhao Zheng left and Emperor Zhu Chongba waved to her again.
"His Majesty."
"Aren't you going to take care of our Minister Zhao?" Old Zhu left the Qianqing Palace and became Emperor Zhu Chongba again. The cold wind became his oppressive aura, and even fallen leaves had to become his subjects.
"At first, it was necessary, but later, Lord Zhao wouldn't allow it to be delivered. He said he had walked it so many times that he was already skilled at it," Yu'er answered truthfully.
"The Zhao family is full of extraordinary people." Emperor Zhu Chongba's expression remained dignified.
Yu'er, who was bowing her head respectfully, could see his hands.
Moreover, at this very moment, these hands were trembling inexplicably behind their backs, indicating that their owner was not at peace.
This also made Yu'er's heart jump.
As Empress Ma's personal lady-in-waiting, no one understood the feelings between Emperor Zhu Chongba and Empress Ma better than her.
Of course, no one knew better than her how many times the harem had nearly become hell over the years.
Moreover, there were two repairmen among them, but they definitely did not include the one in front of us...
Thinking of this, Yu'er glanced at the ground and saw the threshold of the Qianqing Palace, so she could only bury her head even lower.
"Yu'er, let me ask you a question. Answer truthfully!"
A moment later, those hands finally gripped Yu'er's lifeline.
"Your Majesty, please ask."
Emperor Zhu Chongba glanced at Yu'er before speaking: "Where are the imperial physicians?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao says that he alone is enough."
That was indeed the problem!
Yu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly added, "Her Majesty also said that it is enough for this servant to serve her."
"Well, let's just ask. Go in and keep our sister company." Emperor Zhu Chongba nodded, his expression unchanged.
"Yes!" Yu'er hurriedly entered the palace gate, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
The cold wind outside the Qianqing Palace stopped.
......
The Emperor's study was bathed in bright sunlight.
"Huang Shi! He was the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination in the eighteenth year of the Kaiming era. He is currently a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. Later, we also sent him to accompany the Crown Prince."
"Qi De! You were a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of the Kaiming era. You were first appointed as a Principal of the Ministry of Rites, and we will later appoint you as a Principal of the Ministry of War."
"Do you remember it clearly?"
Today, everything in the Imperial Study is in its original place, and the Emperor is also present.
The two middle-aged men kneeling below were moved to tears upon hearing that their superior remembered them so clearly.
boom!
"Your Majesty's kindness is something we will never forget, even unto death!"
Huang Shi was a tutor to the Crown Prince and a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, while Qi De was a principal officer in the Ministry of War.
Their demeanor and even their clothing style were surprisingly unified.
This was the type of person the emperor used to find most troublesome and disliked.
But right now...
Emperor Zhu Chongba thought a lot. He didn't like this kind of person. What he liked most was actually the type of person like Lan Yu.
But similarly, he is not evil in this kind of person.
The people he hated most were like Lan Yu.
It is particularly important to emphasize that the heads of the Zhao family who died were an exception in his case.
He was overjoyed, not at all, at the deaths of the Zhao family patriarchs.
Those who are alive, or vice versa!
Do you two know why we summoned you here?
"this......"
Qi De and Huang Shi exchanged a glance, neither of them having any ideas.
However, the two of them stood up, took a step forward, and then knelt down again.
"We two ministers do not know the reason, but we dare to offer a suggestion, which we must make!"
"Tell me!"
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Emperor Zhu Chongba's furrowed brows relaxed after hearing the second half, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
boom!
Unexpectedly, the two of them kowtowed deeply first.
In fact, throughout history, there was no custom of officials kowtowing to the emperor.
Kowtowing is reserved for momentous occasions.
This moment is undoubtedly what these two people consider an important one.
"Your Majesty! We two ministers hereby offer this remonstrance, and submit it to the Emperor Zhao Shengfu!"
It is also clear that the two of them had spent a long time preparing themselves and struggling with the decision.
But once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
"Your Majesty! Zhao Sheng Mansion was originally a mansion of auspicious omens for our dynasty, but today, the calamity that befell Zhao Sheng Mansion has overshadowed its auspiciousness!" Qi De spoke first, a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Your Majesty! The Zhao Shengfu has countless disciples, and its holy name is known throughout the world! Outside Yingtian Prefecture, the people do not know what the emperor does, but they are always concerned about the actions of the Zhao Shengfu!" Huang Shi spoke last, and the back of his robe lost its fluffiness.
"Your Majesty! We two ministers believe that the Zhao family is more of a calamity than a blessing to our country and its people. Their power and virtue are too great. Their virtue can be called surpassing the Heavenly Emperor, and their power can disregard the sovereign and father."
"My fortune and misfortune are all determined by a single thought; I must be vigilant!"
Finally, the two revealed the key information.
The two men also prostrated themselves, almost lying on the ground.
At the same time, his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
Because they were dealing with a sage, and were at the level of the Zhao family, how could they not know what would happen if these words were to leave the Imperial Study?
After all, people have never witnessed the calamity that befell the Zhao family, but the blessings bestowed upon them are real.
If a good person deserves to die simply because they are too good, then what justice is there in the world?
Snapped!
There was a clatter on the desk.
"You two traitors, do you know what you're saying!" Emperor Zhu Chongba responded in the same way; as the emperor, this was the proper reaction.
Song Zhong, standing in the corner, also drew his knife.
In the sunlight, the table clattered, and knives flashed.
Their fates seemed predictable.
But the two of them did not give up; they looked up and landed.
boom!
"Your Majesty! I am entitled to the emperor's bounty, and I must share his burdens!"
"In this world, it's not just the Zhao family patriarch who dares to die!"
"If our deaths could even make Your Majesty more vigilant, then it would be worthwhile!"
When the two looked up again, bloodstains were visible on their heads.
Emperor Zhu Chongba looked up at them, and the two men did not flinch, staring straight back at him.
An eerie silence fell over the imperial study.
The fates of the two people on the ground seem to have fallen onto the slowly shifting boundary between Yin and Yang.
Swish!
Until the sword was returned to its sheath.
Only then did their hearts dare to continue beating.
Inside the Imperial Study, everything returned to normal.
"Hahahaha!"
"well said!"
"Our empire is not limited to the Zhao family having loyal ministers!"
"But these loyal ministers in this prefecture are really giving us a headache."
As Emperor Zhu Chongba spoke, he touched his forehead, as if he really had a headache.
Qi and Huang were overjoyed.
At the same time, the actions are also essential.
Snapped!
Their hard work was on the ground, and when their foreheads collided again, blood splattered.
"I am willing to share Your Majesty's burdens!"
......
Huang and Qi were both graduates of the orthodox imperial examination system.
They don't need the benefits offered by the Huimin Class. Imperial power is the only thing they can rely on for their future development.
The Ministry of Rites is compiling the "Sun and Moon Grand Ceremony" proposed by the Zhao family. Entering the ministry is equivalent to becoming a disciple of the Zhao family and receiving their favors.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu Chongba, contrary to convention, transferred Qi De, a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) from Yingtian Prefecture, from the position of Principal of the Ministry of Rites to the position of Principal of the Ministry of War.
The Hanlin Academy also had a huge influence left by the Zhao family, so Emperor Zhu Chongba appointed Huang Shi, a tribute student from the Imperial Academy who had risen from the top scholar in the provincial examination to the third-highest scholar in the imperial examination, as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy and also made him a companion to the Crown Prince.
