The Devil's Wife, I Just Want to Survive

Emperor Yunlong opened his eyes and looked around the dim room. Everything around him was the same as before.

He opened the quilt in a daze and turned over to sit on the bed.

"Come on, change clothes!"

The door of the bedroom was pushed open. The eunuch who had accompanied Emperor Yunlong for more than two hundred years bowed his head and greeted him, then said: "Your Majesty, it's only the morning hour now, you should sleep for a while."

Emperor Yunlong was furious when he heard this: "Sleep? What time is it still sleeping!"

"Hurry up and change clothes for this emperor. You have delayed the morning court. This emperor wants your heads!"

The eunuch knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor now. You don't need to go to court anymore..."

The anger on Emperor Yunlong's face froze. He raised his head slightly, and the look in his eyes gradually became sober.

After a while, he waved his hand: "Go away."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch retreated and closed the door again.

Under the dim candlelight, Emperor Yunlong sat in front of the couch with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

The habit of attending court for thousands of years has been engraved into his bones. It was fine in the past month, and he didn't feel anything, but today, somehow, he remembered this matter.

He shook his head, got up, poured a cup of tea and drank it.

After sitting on the chair for a while, he walked to the couch again and lay down.

Lying on the bed, Emperor Yunlong was full of energy and not sleepy at all. His mind was full of thoughts, thinking about his son, thinking about his daughter, and thinking about.........

In this way, Emperor Yunlong lay with his eyes open until dawn.

Finally, the servant knocked on the door, reminding himself that it was time to change clothes.

After breakfast, Emperor Yunlong took a walk to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and water them.

In the past thousand years, he attended court once a week, and on weekdays he was mostly reviewing memorials and balancing the powerful officials in the court.

At that time, he wished he could have a few days of leisure time so that he would not be bothered by memorials.

But this nearly two months of leisure time...........

He was tired of watering and admiring flowers.

He was also a little tired of playing with antiques and treasures.

The favorite concubine in the past.........now he had no interest in looking at her.

He suddenly felt as if he was old, lacked energy, and always felt tired.

In the afternoon, it was originally time to rest.

But this time, he did not rest. He sent a message to call his sixth son, Emperor Ruijing.

At about three o'clock, Zhou Chengrui, wearing a dragon robe, came. He saluted respectfully as always.

"What does your father want to see your son for?"

Emperor Yunlong smiled and asked Zhou Chengrui to sit down in the pavilion. They talked about government affairs, memorials, and imperial power.

In the evening, Emperor Yunlong smiled and sent his son away. He was very satisfied with the discussion of state affairs in this half afternoon.

"My son is still too young, and his methods of being an emperor are not sophisticated enough. I still need to teach him more."

He said this to the old eunuch beside him.

The old eunuch nodded and said that the emperor was still sharp.

In this way, Emperor Yunlong seemed to have regained his original energy. He sent his son to discuss state affairs every week.

Gradually, he kept his son in the palace for longer and longer, and talked about court memorials and imperial power for longer and longer.

Time entered June.

On this day, Emperor Yunlong was still writing the power tactics to teach his son Emperor Ruijing. This was his experience over a thousand years, and he must teach his son to be a good emperor.

But an hour after the morning court ended, the old ministers in the court, headed by the right prime minister, came to pay their respects collectively.

After hearing the eunuch's report, Emperor Yunlong put away the power tactics he wrote, and then let these former team members come in.

As soon as they entered the door, the right prime minister and others knelt down directly, and their words were nothing more than accusing the new emperor of suppressing them and not paying attention to them.

Emperor Yunlong patiently comforted them, but he also understood the principle that a new emperor has his own ministers.

His son is in his prime, and he has so many supporters behind him. He must make profits for his own supporters.

But how can it be so easy to let go of power?

His group of old ministers still have hundreds of years of life left. How can it be easy to let them abdicate and retire?

Moreover, the entangled interests in this cannot be solved overnight.

After patiently comforting them, the right prime minister suddenly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the new emperor's methods are too immature. It is not so easy to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people. You might as well go to court to listen to the government and give the new emperor some advice and guidance."

When the right prime minister said this, Emperor Yunlong was shocked, and it seemed that something broke out of his heart.

That was the imperial power of the past, that was the monopoly of power.

For a moment, Emperor Yunlong was silent.

Seeing this, the other important officials also begged one after another. Seeing this, Emperor Yunlong suppressed his trembling heart and waved his hand: "This emperor has already abdicated. Although this emperor's son is still veryImmature, but he should be able to grow up soon. Don't say such things again in the future. "

After appeasing the old ministers and sending them away, Emperor Yunlong stared at the political tactics he wrote on the table for a long time.

Although he was busy with state affairs in the past, he was always energetic all day long, and even practiced very hard.

But now he is too idle, and he can't even muster the energy for daily practice.

After a long time, Emperor Yunlong shook his head and suppressed the throbbing in his heart: "Since this emperor wants to be the first reformer, he must reform to the end! "

On the other hand, the people under Emperor Ruijing were also angry and crying.

They had been planning for nearly a hundred years to push Emperor Ruijing to the throne!

The resources they had spent in the past hundred years were unimaginable.

Now the prince has successfully ascended the throne, but the prince's promise has not been fulfilled.

Now that they, the new nobles, are standing in the court and looking up, the backs in front of them are all those old ministers, and they are being suppressed by more than one head.

Moreover, these old and powerful people are suppressing their interests all the time. In the past three months, the income of their major families and major forces has dropped by 30% compared to before!

They are heartbroken to see such losses, and they have to go to Emperor Ruijing to cry, Pray to Emperor Ruijing to suppress the old powerful officials and make them abdicate!

Zhou Chengrui was helpless and powerless watching this scene.

Before he ascended the throne, he thought everything was under control.

But in the three months since he ascended the throne, he found that he could not pry open the foundation of the old officials in the court, and even if he wanted to deal with some things, he had to let those old officials do it.

He also wanted to promote his own people, but the old officials refused to move, and he could not handle it!

Looking at the followers in front of him, Emperor Ruijing could only pretend to be strategizing and whispered: "My dear ministers, be patient, be patient, this emperor has only been on the throne for three months, at the latest one year, one year later, this emperor will be able to suppress those old officials and let you take the throne. ”

After calming down his followers, the government affairs still had to continue.

In the next two months, the struggles among the new nobles in the court became more and more intense. It was almost September. Who didn’t have relatives who wanted to seek an official position through the imperial examination?

Who didn’t have children who needed to be married off?

But all of this was based on power. If the power was not enough, the wife’s family would not have much power. If the power was not enough, the husband’s family would not have much power either.

They just said that it would be this and that in the future, but none of these people in power believed that it would be this and that in the future.

Just in the sixth month of Wang Que, Mo Lingqing and others’ crazy teleportation, that is, the seventh month of the crown prince’s accession to the throne, something happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
