Chapter 14 13

Zhao Yanzhi went through this crazy day and was busy until dark.From today onwards, he can eat four meals in a legitimate way, but he can't take care of supper at this time, because at this time he is having a good conversation with King Changshan in private.

Zhao Yanzhi was not in the mood to ban music during the funeral, but it was a due courtesy to hold a simple family banquet to welcome the elders.

"I've neglected my uncle and grandpa. Next time, I will definitely hold a feast for you again to make up for it this time." Zhao Yanzhi said this sincerely.If it wasn't an extraordinary time, he really wanted to treat Chang Shan Wang well.

Zhao Wangzhi looked like a good elder, and smiled kindly: "What is your Majesty talking about?"

Although the image of Zhao Wangzhi gave Zhao Yanzhi a moderate blow, it did not prevent Zhao Yanzhi from soaring in favor of this great-uncle.For the first time, he deeply felt that something would be deeply integrated into the blood of his bones, and it was not empty words that blood was thicker than water.

Therefore, only Xie Qing noticed Gu Shenxing's strange expression.

Gu Shenxing adjusted his mood and asked seriously: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with today's matter?"

With a smile on his face, Zhao Yanzhi immediately ran to Java Country, and he snorted coldly: "Severe punishment!"

Gu Shenxing scooped up a spoonful of soup, and said casually, "Well, that Du Jing is too disgraceful, and not severely punishing him will not be enough to appease the public's anger."

"Du Jing? Sir, I don't believe you can't see, what is Du Jing? Behind him is Zhou Jichuan and Zhao Xin!" The young emperor was indignant, and all the old Chengdu disappeared in front of the husband who taught him since he was a child.

"What are you shouting about?" Gu Shenxing drank the spoonful of soup unhurriedly. "Your Majesty, the matter of the Zhou family still needs to be considered in the long term, and it is enough to beat them now."

"Why not? Zhao Xin is obviously uneasy and kind, and none of Zhou's family members is kind!" Zhao Yan was indignant.

"Under King Dai's rule, there are still [-] iron cavalry guarding the border, so that the Huns in the north dare not invade. If the King Dai is moved rashly, the army's morale will be unstable. If a foreign race takes advantage of it, it will be a disaster after all. At that time, there will be no People say that the acting king disrespects the king, but I am afraid that some people will say that your majesty can't tolerate your elder brother, so as to bring disaster to the country." Gu Shenxing scooped up another spoonful of soup.

"Obviously, only [-] of Dai's [-] cavalry are under his orders!" Zhao Yanzhi found that Mr. Gu liked today's soup very much, so he decided that if he failed to achieve his goal today, he would not allow the cook to make this soup again.

"The Zhou family tree has deep roots, and it took a day to shake it up. The rabbit bites people in a hurry, not to mention the century-old Zhou family." Gu Shenxing drank the spoonful of soup contentedly, "The Daiwang and the Zhou family are both prosperous and damaged. Your Majesty actually knows all about it. You can achieve great things only by enduring for a while."

"The Zhou family is reckless!" Zhao Yanzhi was still trying to argue.

Gu Shenxing really didn't want to say more, he felt that he had said enough today, so he turned his head and said to Xie Qing: "Huaifang, I will chat with Your Majesty later."

Xie Qing: ...

Gu Shenxing took another ladle of soup and let it dry.Looking at the moonlight outside the window, he thought sadly, when will His Majesty grow up, and really wanted to go back to his hometown to live a stable life for a few days.When he lowered his head to drink the soup, he found that Zhao Wangzhi was holding his spoon and had already drank the dried soup before him.

"It's getting late, be careful, let Your Majesty rest." For some reason, Xie Qing felt that Zhao Wangzhi's smile was a bit treacherous, while the petrified Zhao Yanzhi focused all his attention on the dog that his uncle was wearing on his husband's waist. hand.

After Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing left, Zhao Yanzhi didn't feel like eating supper anymore.He paced up and down in front of Xie Qing's eyes, making Xie Qing dizzy.

"Your Majesty didn't hear about Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan?" Xie Qing, who had been hungry for a whole day, wanted to cry but put down the spoon in his hand.He deeply felt that only when His Majesty thought about it could he eat something seriously.

"Huaifang, who hasn't read this allusion? I know, how can they not know?" Zhao Yanzhi still didn't do it.

"The authorities are obsessed. People in the game may not be able to see through." Xie Qing insisted, "Mr. is right, Daiguo's [-] cavalry are strictly guarding against the Xiongnu. It is not appropriate to make changes at this time, so as not to give people an opportunity. Frontier defense is no small matter. Take it slowly."

"Okay, I get it. You've been hungry for a day. Eat something." He knew the truth, but he was not reconciled.Once the joint in my heart has passed, everything is not a problem, "Why don't you change a good fief for the king."

"Shen Xing, this matter is over. You can go back with me." In the bumpy car, Zhao Wangzhi held Gu Shen Xing's hand tightly.

"No, it's not the time yet." Gu Shenxing lowered his eyes, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Zhao Wangzhi snorted coldly: "What are you worried about? I think that kid looks like my elder brother, cannibalizing people without spitting out bones, why are you worried? Hey! 30 years..."

"Wangzhi, I know all about it. But I can't ignore Ah Hui's son." Gu Shenxing closed his eyes wearily, and leaned his head on Zhao Wangzhi's shoulder.

Daidi was poor and uneasy, and Guangling was rich and beautiful, so Zhao Xin, the king of Daidai, was moved to be the king of Guangling, in the name of all brothers.

King Qi, King Yan, and King Jibei each granted four counties.

Zhou Jichuan, the Marquis of Chengyang, granted [-] households.

As for the people around His Majesty, except for the eunuch Ling Wang Chun, most of them were replaced by Zhao Yanzhi's old people when he was the prince.The servants are all Zhao Yanzhi's former friends and confidantes, needless to say Xie Qing, even Xie Yuan who was burdened by Zhao Shichang back then is also included.

And the censor Du Jing who talked nonsense at the new emperor's succession ceremony was sent to prison.But it will catch up with Xi Tianxia soon, so although Du Yushi has no hope of official career by then, he can still be released from prison and return to his hometown to find another livelihood.

The three elder brothers of the new emperor had stayed in Beijing for a long time, and they went back to their respective states not long after the late emperor was buried.When Guangling King Zhao Xin left, he was so arrogant that he almost didn't know his last name, and Zhao Yanzhi didn't respond.Although he has not won the power of regent, it is not bad to change to a rich fief.The new emperor knew that he was going to harm him, but he had to seal the Zhou family, presumably to show weakness.The corner of Zhao Xin's mouth curled up into a sneer, so that's fine, as the elder brother, I will let you linger on for a few days.

Zhao Xiang, the King of Yan, was as respectful as usual. When he parted, he said a lot of words about the meritorious deeds of Shunde, but Zhao Yan was terrified when he heard it.He intuitively felt that his elder brother was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to be careful.

Thinking of the performance of his other elder brother Qi Wang Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Yan could not help but twitch his mouth.He had never met his middle brother a few times, and when he parted, King Qi didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder.Yes, maintaining his perennial wandering expression, he patted His Majesty the Emperor on the shoulder as if he were treating an ordinary younger brother!

As for Changshan King Zhao Wangzhi, because of His Majesty's repeated attempts to keep him, he seemed to be permanently stationed in the capital.

It has to be said that even a mediocre monarch who Zhao Jing left behind for Zhao Yanzhi can do well as long as he doesn't make trouble and stays obedient.But Zhao Yanzhi is not a mediocre gentleman, he is not satisfied.

Yes, everywhere.

There are princes and kings forming their own country outside, and there are aristocratic families and great clans in endless disputes. The emperor's power is really divided up a bit too much.If his opinion unfortunately disagrees with several important ministers, there must be no way to implement it.Zhao Yan is not young but not young, he thought, what kind of dominion is this?

For example, his favored minister made a mistake, and the prime minister insisted on severely punishing him, even his intercession was wiped of face.Well, that's a national law, he can tolerate it.

For another example, when the rogues violated the frontier, he advocated calming down the chaos and all the important ministers wanted to appease him, so he had to compromise in the end.Well, that is also for the country and the people, and he can tolerate it.

However, Zhao Yanzhi couldn't tolerate the fact that all the ministers and workers tried to put people around His Majesty the Emperor on the grounds of "extending heirs".Speaking of enriching the harem, all the beauties his father gave him were clearly there, but this group of people turned a blind eye to them all.For some reason, Zhao Yanzhi was quite resistant to such things as marrying wives and taking concubines, so his attitude was quite cold and hard. Even so, there were many women in Guangming Palace.

The granddaughter of the Zhou family, the daughter of the Xu family, and even the Xie family sent another girl from a side branch. There were a total of seven daughters of important ministers, and none of them could refuse.Zhao Yan was so annoyed that he couldn't refuse, he couldn't even neglect him at all.After being happy with his "new love" for a month, His Majesty's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker.He even felt that being the emperor was the first fire in the world.

During that time, everyone around Zhao Yanzhi was cautious.Even Gu Shenxing's preaching was less.As for one day when Xie Qing stepped on His Majesty's tail and was fined for not taking a bath for one month when serving as an attendant, everyone finally changed from being cautious to walking on thin ice.

Xie Qing didn't know how he was when others were serving him, but Zhao Yanzhi never used him to do anything else except for his own affairs and listening to His Majesty's seemingly endless chatter.So it's okay to bathe continuously for a month, except that Zhao Yanzhi is more irritable every night before going to the imperial concubine, there is basically nothing unusual.

And the time of the month is well chosen.After Zhao Yanzhi succeeded to the throne, Xie Qing absolutely had no reason to continue to live in the empress dowager's womb. As for the forbidden palace, it was not even a place for foreign ministers to stay.Xie Qing didn't want to go back to Xie's house, so he chose a small house in Qili, and it took exactly one month to take care of it.Thinking of this, Xie Qing couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and poured a cup of honey syrup to dry for Zhao Yanzhi.

Zhao Yanzhi had been in charge of the country for a long time, so it was quite quick to become emperor.It's just that the endless paperwork really gave him a headache, and there was no one around him who was handy.Every time he thinks of this, he can't help but sigh, but it's a pity that as the emperor, he has to face resistance even to promote a confidant, God knows how smart and capable Xie Qing is!

When Xie Qing dried the honey paste and brought it to Zhao Yanzhi, he was furiously reading a certain censor's advice about Chen's son's right to divorce his wife.His Majesty the Emperor didn't know this son of the Chen family who came out of nowhere, and he was even less interested in his divorce of his wife.The next book is a bunch of nonsense, plus a lot of complaints about Xie Xiangchang's son Nineteen not marrying.

Zhao Yanzhi ruthlessly threw the glazed cup containing the honey syrup and the memorabilia on the ground.
