Chapter 14 The Empress

The night is clear and beautiful, and the restaurant court is full of moonlight and candles. When the wind and fire spread in the palace, Han Shui is practicing a new song, Qu Shang.Dongqing came with a sword in hand: "My lord, the time has come for the emperor to call you into the palace." Han Shui lazily replied that he knew, but did not move.

Banxia secretly asked Zeqi, "Why is your lord depressed?" Zeqi glanced at him and said, "If the person you recommend turns against him and almost misses a big deal, will you be in a good mood?" Suddenly, Banxia realized, and quickly covered his mouth.

Stopping the string, Han Shui got up and adjusted his robe slowly.Dongqing said: "Your Excellency was not at the front line yesterday. If you have anything to ask, I don't mind." Han Shui took the cold wine on the table, drank it all, and went out.

Dongqing gritted her teeth, and chased after him: "Yesterday, in front of the west gate, General Qi personally led three thousand soldiers, and cleverly used the holy name to defeat the enemy army. He was unstoppable..." Han Shui said: "After the battle, where did he go?" Ruan Xiang Dongqing kept silent about whorings in the court, and only said: "This subordinate is incompetent, so I only inquired about this." Han Shui smiled lightly and thanked Dongqing.

In the palace, Yun Bing had a severe headache, and she grabbed the case book and threw it on the ground.Han Shui picked up the fine reading, raised his eyes and asked again: "The general flag of the Ministry of Film?" Yun Bing said: "Before the Liuying Palace, now the imperial palace, it is always the Ministry of Film, who is Sheqing?"

The Liuying Palace Film Department is just a self-proclaimed name, and the Imperial Palace Film Department has a huge organization, and it is the only one in the world.Han Shui's heart is like a mirror, there is a big difference here.Yun Bing said: "Who should be employed under your command, you can decide for yourself, don't ask me again."

Han Shui said: "My servant is bold enough to call Lu Sheng into the film department." Yun Bing was so teased that he chuckled, and his head stopped hurting: "I don't want to pursue this matter, but Qing dares to mention it." Han Shui said: "This Ren Zeng led the Yulin Army. Although he was at the head of the mouse, he was a witness at the funeral of the late emperor. As long as he is in the shadow department, the subordinates can protect Xiao Yu from acting rashly." Yun Bing said happily: "Is there any crooked idea? , just say it.” Han Shui smiled apologetically, but dared not.

The palace is empty, with winding corridors connecting the three halls. The maids brought the ancient silver qin and replaced it with golden incense.Han Shui stroked the strings and played a song "Ancient Lushui".Yun Bing smiled and said: "I thought you could only "Painting Rivers and Mountains"." Han Shui said: "The mountains and rivers are like brocades, and the ink is already formed, and the flowing water is no longer there, and there will be more clear in the day." Yun Bing leaned against the jade couch and dismissed the maid.

After the song stopped, Yun Bing asked, "What should we do with King Cheng, Fang Tuo and their party members?" The Xiao family has skills, and Yun Bing couldn't figure out how many tricks they had kept in these years.What they are afraid of is that they will be forced into a hurry, a pile of bad debts will be settled, and they will not be able to protect themselves.

Han Shui pondered for a while, and remonstrated: "King Cheng is a future trouble, and he cannot live. Fang Tuo's roots are deep, and he cannot be killed. Your Majesty first obeys God's will, and ascends the throne by beheading a sycophant. As for Fang's party's entanglement, the film department will be able to do it within half a year." Make it clear, it will not be too late for the slaughter." Yun Bing said, "So what if it touches the Xiao family's property?" Han Shui replied firmly, "The one I'm investigating is the Xiao family."

A song "Ancient Lushui" cleans thousands of households.In the morning, the imperial palace ordered that Wang Yunhuan be judged for his serious crimes, and beheaded at the Meridian Gate to comfort the world; all the members of the party and family were abolished, officials and nobles were abolished, and he was imprisoned pending investigation.

After half a month, Yun Bing called Xiao Yu to the front of the hall to ask about the enthronement ceremony.Xiao Yu said: "The grand ceremonies of the country should be discussed by the officials." Yun Bing said with a smile: "Bing'er succeeded to the throne, and there was a good omen from the sky. Dare to go to the court, wouldn't it mean that Bing'er will be infamous in future generations?" The army in the western region had been fighting for a long time, and they were deeply homesick, so they withdrew within three days.

Yun Bing finally freed up to prepare for the national funeral.In the third month of the mourning period, white paper continues with winter snow, and it is a time of solemn mourning, and it is also a time of turbulent torrents.Fang Party's general trend is gone, and nearly half of the official positions in the court are vacant. Calculated, the three ministers of household, rites and workers are still vacant, and the six ministers and nine ministers are even more vacant.Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the appointment of the new dynasty and the promotion and relegation of the old dynasty depend on these three months.

When the mourning period is coming to an end, the palace is full of Qingzhai, and Lin'an City has long held private banquets, and gift-giving has become popular.It was the old man who had no choice but to use it. According to Chu Rong's wish, he hosted a banquet for the literati of the Third Academy in Juxing Restaurant, gathered literary giants and celebrities, and filled the hall with poems. people……

The clerks of the government offices of various ministries entertained a circle, not weak but also tired.Chu Rong didn't have his father's arrogance, so he got drunk with the smell of flowers and wine.Who let the female emperor's foundation is still shallow, and the elders in the court are forming cliques, so there must be someone to make peace with.

Entering the palace at night, the imperial study room was brightly lit, and heard the news from the eunuchs and maids that His Majesty was summoning Mr. Han.Chu Rong was slightly drunk, and smiled to Sihu behind him: "Look, they are all more diligent than us."

The voice was not loud, but there was a silence in the room, the door would open from time to time, and an eunuch ran out, whispering to Chu Rong, "Your Majesty ordered me to tell you that old Mr. Chu has arrived in Lin'an, so please go quickly." Take the wind and wash away the dust." Chu Rong was startled, and immediately retreated in accordance with the order.

The lamp in the wooden house was like a bean, and Father Chu sniffed his nose like an urchin: "Where are you going to mess with flowers and grass again?" Chu Rong said: "I dare not." He knocked on his son's head with a sound: "Look at the family, he was born as a prostitute, but now he is a celebrity in front of the imperial court, and the general banner of the film department has a head and face, full of minions. What about you? What about you? What about you?"

Chu Rong said coldly, "I don't care about that." Father Chu said, "Which one?" .” Chu Rong glared: “Father!”

Chu Yi sighed, finally stopped laughing, and said: "Han Shui is superior because of his ruthlessness, and the ruthlessness makes the sword sharp." Chu Rong said: "I think it's the same?" Chu Yi scraped out from the rag bag A bamboo slip was handed to his son, and he said peacefully: "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Such a person will not end well. Father is telling you to see clearly, and never go to evil."

There are eight characters engraved on the bamboo slips, and the way is: if you live in peace for a lifetime, you will live forever.Chu Rong raised his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

On the sixteenth day of Gaoyue, Yun Bing, the princess of Qingyang, offered sacrifices to the heavens to enshrine Zen, and ascended the throne as the sixth female emperor in the 300 years since the founding of Yunmeng, with the reign name Tianyan.On the seventeenth, the officials present the congratulatory form. On the eighteenth, the world is amnesty. On the nineteenth, when the envoys of various countries are seen, the etiquette is handled by the three divisions of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang, and Honglu.

The princes and grandsons are crowned kings, relatives and clan relatives are enshrined as marquises, meritorious officials are ennobled, and good officials are honored. Zhongshuling, temporarily concurrently serving as Minister of Guanglu Temple; Lin Yun Jinjue, serving as Minister of the Ministry of Households and Minister of the Ministry of Officials temporarily.Yun Bing waved his sleeves and said with a smile, "I've sold out this country, so you can take care of it."

On the bank of Qingyan Lake, the hibiscus, the goddess of flowers in June, blooms.The eunuch held the Yuyao dry umbrella to shade Yun Bing and his courtiers.Regarding the vacancy of the court, Yun Bing sighed: "The lotus petals in the pond are full of pink, and the leaves are round to cover the fish in the pond." Your Majesty has learned a lesson." Yun Bing smiled bitterly.

Nanzheng was a well-known official, and with his upright spirit, he was put on the Zuocheng position by the former emperor for 20 years, which was purely good-looking.Yun Bing originally wanted to follow the example of the former emperor and continue to act, but after the Yingju Rebellion, this man was furious and stayed at home instead of going to court.How can this be done? If word spreads, she, Yun Bing, is the eternal king.Helpless, Yun Bing put down her airs and visited Nanfu to invite talents.

Mr. Nan is sitting under the gazebo, fishing for carp.The housekeeper hurriedly reported: "Master, the emperor is here." Nanzheng put away the fishing rod, changed his clothes on the spot and looked holy.Yun Bing is polite, without losing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.The two patiently discussed the etiquette and righteousness of poetry and books, and Nan Zheng finally said bluntly: "Your Majesty's new government has been stabilized, what's the use of a minister who relies on the old and sells the old?" , If I make the pearl dusty, it is a crime."

Nan Zhengdao: "The old minister has the reputation of being clean, and he is not good at practical things. I think His Majesty came today just to leave a good story about loving the virtuous?" Yun Bing smiled slightly, wishing to kill this person immediately.Nan Zhengdao: "Since that's the case, I will go to court tomorrow."

The whole city is filled with music, singing and singing, and newcomers are recommended at the memorial, and Yun Bing looks everywhere, but no one looks down on him.

On that day, the sky was clear and clear, Yun Bing disregarded the red tape, pretended to be a scribe, personally held the three altars of osmanthus wine, and locked the gate of Nanfu.The housekeeper hurriedly reported: "My lord, Your Majesty, she..." Nanzheng saluted and said, "Why is your Majesty doing this?" Yun Bing said, "Aiqing is from Kuangshan. She should know osmanthus wine. Drink a glass first." The servant hurriedly went to make arrangements. Bring the Yanyu bottle bestowed by the first emperor.Nanzheng sighed and drank it all in one gulp.

The 28-mile fertile soil of Mount Kuo has been ceded to the Nine Realms in the first year of Tianping for [-] years.Yun Bing said: "I am a daughter, and I still have the heart to pick up rivers and mountains. Nan Qing is a husband, why don't you want to return to your old home?" "Yun Bing said: "But it doesn't matter."

Nan Zhengdao: "Your Majesty first took charge of the government, and it is reasonable to be afraid of the Xiao family's outsiders. However, the old minister has been in Beijing for decades, and he has seen the government and the public, and he has not seen anyone who governs the country better than Xiao Yu. Although he has flaws, he is the pillar of the country. I hope His Majesty will use it." Yun Bing sighed inwardly, "It's a blessing for the whole country to have such a broad mind."

Nan Zheng stared at Yan Yuzun for a long time, then opened his mouth and said: "I have one more word, I'm afraid it will offend Your Majesty's ears..." Yun Bing said: "Please speak." Nan Zheng said: "The ruler of the country, Xiao Yu, the ruler of the army, Qi Lin .” Yun Bing gritted his teeth and smiled.

Qi Linli made great contributions to suppressing the rebellious party, so Yun Bing endured it because he didn't attend the congratulatory form at the enthronement ceremony.I endured what I had to endure, until that day after meeting with my mother, Xiao said to her: "I have chosen thousands of choices, General Qi is good, and I gave the golden hairpin as a gift to the actor."

After regaining his senses, Nan Zheng said: "General Qi has not been easy these years..." Yun Bing said angrily, "Is it easy for me?!" Nan Zheng said: "Your Majesty, General Qi was not guilty back then." Yun Bing said: " One more is not much, one less is not." Nan Zheng said: "Yunmeng only has one Qi Lin." After that, Master Nan straightened his waist even more, and stood a landscape above the court hall, but he was still a Qi Lin. A display with no real power.
