Devil’s Advent

Yanjing City;

palace;

Empress He sat alone in front of the dressing table, her face was propped up with her hands, her eyes were flushed.

At this time,

The emperor in the dragon robe came quietly behind him, and at the same time waved his hand to signal the maids in the room to leave quietly.

The figure of the man behind him had already appeared in the bronze mirror, but Empress He still didn't notice it, her mind was not on looking in the mirror.

The emperor stepped forward,

Reach out and hug the Queen.

"Ouch."

The queen was taken aback, turned her head to look, and stretched out her hand to lightly thump the emperor's chest.

"Queen, miss our son, don't you?"

"Chenqie, how can you not want to."

"I, too."

Is it his first child?

Moreover, he once fought side by side with this father.

Although various signs later showed that the first emperor had already arranged everything;

But the heart of an emperor is unpredictable, who can tell whether the former emperor has made two-handed preparations?

The phrase "good grandson" undoubtedly made the most critical overweight at the most critical moment.

In comparison, the emperor is lonely. Ji Chengjue is busy with government affairs every day. In fact, he has no intention of training the two younger ones. The older one has grown up and can talk and communicate, so he can keep it by his side. In the name of "teaching" the prince to relieve boredom.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to comfort the concubine, the concubine understands the severity."

"Well, however, I have to tell you some good news."

"What good news?"

"The latest battle report came from the front line. The man surnamed Zheng won the battle. He also killed a Zhu country from the Chu people and captured the general of the Chu country alive."

"Really? That's really great, it's good to win, it's good to win."

In the past, when the queen was a butcher girl, she would be happy for Dayan's victory, but now, she is naturally even happier, because it has changed from a state matter to a family matter.

And this time, after winning the battle, his son will not have to face risks after going to Jindong.

unless……

"Your Majesty, the concubine shouldn't ask these questions, but the concubine is worried about his son, if your majesty finds it convenient to tell..."

"I don't know how to fight the national war, so I guess it will end like this."

The emperor is such a smart person, how could he not guess what the queen wanted to ask.

The queen put her hands on her chest,

road:

"Thank God, thank God."

Although there has always been a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, because He Sisi was born in the common people and has no so-called powerful relatives, as the mother of the country, the emperor is not afraid to let her know some state affairs, and sometimes he will take the initiative to chat with her.

"You didn't see the faces of those ministers in the imperial study room before, hehe, it's wonderful."

"Your Majesty, did they not expect that Lord Pingxi would win?"

The emperor shook his head and said: "That's not the case. They also know the fighting skills of Zheng. However, in their eyes, it may be that I asked Zheng to fight this battle."

"Don't you..."

Empress He almost blurted out.

But after all, she has been in the palace for many years, and now she is a queen, and she has already experienced some aspects.

There are some things that the emperor is willing to tell himself, but he just wants to find someone to listen to;

She can't express her opinions, let alone take eye drops.

Especially, to that Lord Zheng Hou.

The emperor's expression didn't change, and he said: "I have discussed with him a rough charter, making small troubles, and let him figure it out. The result of this battle is frighteningly large, but the imperial court has no burden."

Empress He nodded, not daring to speak anymore.

"Although there was a battle of the barbarian king's court, it was the legacy left by the father. This time, people outside thought it was my handwriting, and thought that I knew it beforehand. Otherwise, how could I have heard it so simply? The news of the war will send the prince to Jindong?

I believe that the surname Zheng is also willing to gamble with him;

Now, I won the bet.

My father once said to me when I was there that the way of being a king and the art of checks and balances are really small ways;

As a king, you should have the constitution of heaven in your mouth, follow the will of the emperor, and force the thunder to run wildly with the reins.

The battle surnamed Zheng was fought well and beautifully.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty should also understand that the father is gone, but the father is actually still there. "

Here, it involves the influence of the emperor's personal prestige on the emperor's real power. An emperor with absolute prestige does not need to play any checks and balances in the court, nor does he need to install his own confidants, because he can do whatever he wants.

The rules and regulations that the courtiers are accustomed to use to restrain the normal emperor have no effect on the real hero who has become a climate.

"The weather is nice today, and I'm in a good mood. I've ordered Wei Zhonghe to get off the carriage. Let's go outside the palace to relax."

"Your Majesty... isn't busy today?"

Since the battle report from the front line just came back, it was a great victory, the emperor should be very busy.

"It's not urgent, let them dry first, come on queen, go out with me, let's go."

"The concubine obeys the order."

The carriage left the palace, but this time it didn't go to any place that ordinary people couldn't get close to.

The emperor, who came out in micro-clothes, took the hand of the queen and began to take a walk on the street.

Surrounded by masters from the Secret Service, Eunuch Wei followed behind the emperor and empress dressed as a slave.

The street was very lively, and most importantly, this feeling of walking out on the folk street made Empress He seem to have returned to the leisure time with her husband at the beginning of Nan'an County.

Her husband at that time was not yet a prince, let alone an emperor, but Yan Xiaoliu, the chief catcher of Nan'an County.

Right now, the two most distinguished people in the Great Yan Kingdom are shopping, shopping, and eating snacks all the way, enjoying themselves; when the palace and various yamen are all excited about the military situation, they seem to be real outsiders.

Group after group of ministers went to the Imperial Study Room to see them, but they were all stopped by Eunuch Zhang, who only said that His Majesty was resting and could not be disturbed.

Most of the ministers had previously impeached Marquis Pingxi together, and now that Marquis Pingxi had won the battle with fruitful results, they would not think that they were wrong, because in their view, the essence of the matter was not just about Jindong and Jindong. In a battle in Chudi.

Rather, it involves the stability of imperial power;

They could not change the era when the King of Jingnan and the North stood side by side, but they tried to work hard so that another king of the North and the South would not appear again.

only,

The emperor's attitude is really too decisive,

at the same time,

Ping Xihou's battle was fought too fast, it was too successful!

It's not that these ministers don't want Dayan to win the battle, but in this way, those who have impeached Ping Xihou are tantamount to handing over the handle.

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to give up all of them, because more than half of the people here are out of public interest;

But the emperor can use this excuse to more easily pull out some radishes that he thinks can make a hole, and directly take advantage of the situation to carry out a cleanup, but on his side, there is no way to stop it, because it is already wrong, most people, in the In this matter, it is not clean, and there is no way to help each other.

Now,

The meaning of the emperor's avoidance is actually very clear.

I'll wait,

When you are more awake and ready, then I can pull the carrots.

This seems to be very contradictory to the above-mentioned emperor who can be unscrupulous without checks and balances, but it is not.

Some ministers have committed crimes, corrupted the law for personal gain, and committed fraud. The emperor can do it or not according to his own needs. In short, it is easy to handle;

What really makes the emperor feel difficult is that,

Some people are incorruptible, clean under their buttocks, and have a good official voice, or they are content to watch the moon and stars every night, and they have no higher pursuit and ambition for official career. The emperor is not on the same road;

It is possible to simply replace this kind of person, but it will inevitably be criticized and troublesome, but now is a good opportunity.

"It's a pity that the one surnamed Zheng can't go back to Beijing twice a year. Sometimes, I really miss him. When I'm with him, we can talk, drink tea and chat without feeling bored."

"Yes, my concubine also feels that you are very happy every time Lord Zheng Hou returns to Beijing, my concubine, but you are a little jealous of Lord Zheng Hou."

"Hahaha."

At this time, the two walked past a teahouse, and happened to be listening to the storyteller inside telling the story of Ping Xihou's entry into the palace of the Qian State and the official family of the Qian State, showing the spirit of a big swallow;

In the story of Mr. Storyteller, Emperor Qian was annoyed by Lord Pingxi, and secretly sent Bailijian to harm Lord Pingxi. As a result, Lord Pingxi fought against Bailijian on the top of the Forbidden Palace of Qianguo Palace. three hundred rounds;

In the end, Bailijian sighed: Right now, I have only drawn a tie with you, but if you don't put your mind on leading troops to fight, you must be stronger than me.

In the past few years, with the rise of Pingxi Houye's reputation, even in the first battle of Pingxi Houye's soy sauce, the main halo was placed on him. In the story, he became a subordinate of Zheng Fan, who was just a little garrison general at the time, and he obeyed the words of Lord Zheng Hou.

There is no way, the common people like to listen to the stories of Marquis Pingxi, it is down to earth and uplifting!

Young people from Yandi, when they were playing with their friends, they were all vying to play the role of Lord Pingxi, fighting savages, fighting dry people, fighting Jin people, fighting Chu people, and then marrying a princess.

The emperor didn't take the queen into the teahouse, but stood at the door, listening to the story with a group of people who were reluctant to part with the tea money and wanted to hear the story.

The emperor took out the peanuts in his pocket when he was shopping, and gave half of them to the queen. He also began to peel and listen, laughing with the crowd from time to time.

Suddenly, a knight with a colorful flag behind his back rode past on the street, shouting:

"The Marquis of Pingxi is victorious, the Marquis of Pingxi is victorious, beheading the Chu kingdom, and capturing the great general of Chu!"

"The Marquis of Pingxi is victorious, the Marquis of Pingxi is victorious, beheading the Chu kingdom, and capturing the great general of Chu!"

The imperial court had received the news a long time ago, and all the officials knew about it a long time ago. After confirming that the news was correct, they made some arrangements and made a situation where messenger soldiers hurried to Beijing to report victory. The common people like this kind of excitement. I am also used to the feeling of continuous victories and victories since the reign of the former emperor.

The storyteller in the teahouse, after listening to the call of the messenger soldier outside, his face flushed for a while!

These days, some storytellers don’t serve their patriarchs anymore, but Lord Pingxi. After all, it is Lord Pingxi who has so many experiences that gave them excellent story materials and continued to make a living.

"Snapped!"

The storyteller tapped the gavel three times in succession, quieting down the noisy and celebrating audience.

immediately,

The storyteller raised his hand and made a gesture,

He sang loudly:

"Swallows have fierce tigers, howling and shaking the Central Plains; Jindong goshawks, eyes as deep as the sea!

Claws bullying the snowy plains, beaks pecking at Southern Chu, coercing the three Jins, looking down upon the Xias!

God bless Dayan, give me Lord Pingxi, Dayan should be prosperous, Dayan should be prosperous! ! ! "

"Dayan should be happy!"

"Dayan should be happy!"

In the teahouse and outside the teahouse, people shouted excitedly together, which is enough to show how popular the Marquis of Pingxi is among the people of Yan State.

Especially after the two princes left Dayan one after another, the common people urgently needed a new military god to protect them and continue to win foreign victories for them.

do not know why,

The queen suddenly looked worriedly at her husband standing beside her,

But seeing her husband also raised his arms and shouted,

shouted:

"Good job, watch and reward!"
