Emperor Can’t Resist - Chapter 473
The next day, Yinshi.
Outside the Meridian Gate, ministers in all kinds of official costumes crossed half of the capital and lined up outside the gate. When the drum bell on the upper floor of the Meridian Gate rang, the palace gate opened, entered in turn, crossed the bridge, and entered the square.
Outside the Meridian Gate, the classmate bureaucrat saw Liang Yuan and said, “good morning, Mr. Liang!”
Liang Yuan bowed his hands and said, “good, Mr. Liu!”
With a sigh, Liu Guang flushed his nose and complained, “it’s getting colder and colder this day. Fortunately, the emperor is not here now, and Xu Taifu is the only one to preside over the morning court once every ten days. Otherwise, it’s really enough!”
Liang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, “it’s true that when the emperor was there, he sat in court almost every day and watched the world diligently. Now I’m not on the court, and all the ministers are slack! ”
“Lord Liang…”
Liu Guang sighed. Just as he wanted to explain, there was a low sound of drums and bells on the tower. He had to shut up and return to his position. He entered the imperial city with his ministers, walked through the square and entered the main hall.
At that time, it was still gray.
From a distance, the eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings of the palace are carved with sandalwood. On the eaves, the two phoenixes are flying. The bright yellow glazed tiles show the nobility and prosperity, and the excellent white marble paves the place.
Tao Susu wears a bun with eight treasures and five phoenixes. She wears a Bixia Luo skirt embroidered with phoenixes. Her skirt slightly drags the floor, and some auspicious clouds are drawn out at the cuffs. She moves slowly.
Today, for the sake of going to court, she dressed ceremoniously and put on her usual palace makeup. Her skin was as delicate as jade, her cherry mouth was red but not gorgeous, her eyes were calm and steady, and she put away her laziness and childishness. She walked on a straight road, passed a huge square, and walked through the stairs made of jade, Walk past the upright dragon carved pillars in the center of the altar to the entrance of the main hall of the palace.
In the main hall, the originally empty place is now full of officials. The walls, beams and columns are decorated with cloud patterns under the bright candlelight, which is gorgeous.
The ministers stood on the big blue stone bricks, which were seamless and smooth as a mirror. They were arranged according to the size of the official positions. The civilian generals were divided into two arrays, and there was a wide road of three people in the middle.
The Dragon chair is empty. On the left side is a simple sandalwood chair. The person sitting on the chair is Xu Taifu.
The guard at the gate of the hall, seeing that the visitor was Mrs. Ruyi, who was in favor, wanted to stop her and refused to enter. However, he was frightened by Tao Su’s cold eyes and stepped aside. He no longer dared to stop her.
No one knows that it was for this woman that Emperor Qin Buzhou decided to go to war with the western regions.
Tao Su walked slowly to the hall with lotus steps.
For a moment, the hall was silent, and all the ministers’ eyes were focused on her, but she was not in any panic. She approached Xu Taifu steadily.
Xu Taifu pressed his displeasure and said kindly, “Mrs. Ruyi, all the officials are in the early days. I don’t know what’s the matter with you coming to this hall?”
Before Tao Susu opened her mouth, Qi Wang Yanqi, standing on the left, suddenly opened her mouth. Her words stabbed her like a sharp sword. “Since ancient times, I thought that there had never been a woman in the early Dynasty, and that Mrs. Ruyi was loved by the emperor, so I can’t be conceited to go to such a place. There is no ancient precept in her eyes!”
Because of Qi and Wang Yanqi’s words, all the ministers nodded, whispered and hummed through the hall.
“Lord Taifu, I think king Qi is right!”
“It’s said by our ancestors that all the concubines in the harem can’t compete with the government, and they can’t go to court without anything…”
“Yes, Mr. Taifu, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing for Mrs. Ruyi to dress so ceremoniously today and appear in such an important early court.”
……
All the ministers spoke one by one, and even Xu Taifu couldn’t hang on his face. He said to Tao Su, “Madam Ruyi, you have heard all the ministers! If you have something to do, you can talk to the old minister privately. Now please ask Mrs. Ruyi to leave the hall, so as not to affect the normal order of the early Dynasty and delay the discussion of the political affairs of the heavenly dynasty! ”
Seeing that Xu Taifu couldn’t help interrupting, Yanqi was even more proud and said in a straight voice, “when the emperor was in power, there were women in the harem who went to the early court. It’s really humiliating to speak out! Mrs. Ruyi, since she ignored the precepts and went to the early court, she is ready to be punished? ”
Standing among the ministers, Tao Susu’s expression was calm, and he didn’t look angry from beginning to end. He let king Qi and his ministers attack him verbally, and he was still as still as a mountain, not affected by them at all.
“Mrs. Ruyi, listen to me and leave quickly!” After all, Xu Taifu was Qin Buzhou’s man. He would naturally protect Tao Susu, who was already Qin Buzhou’s confidant. “King Qi is right. My ancestors have admonitions. Don’t go her own way, so as not to insult the emperor’s purity and brightness!”Tao suzui, dressed in fengguanxia clothes, was originally a noble and elegant image, but now she couldn’t help turning her eyes secretly. In the face of these stubborn antiques, she really didn’t want to talk nonsense, “Xu Taifu…”
“Lord Taifu, why are you partial?”
As soon as her words started, she was interrupted by Yanqi, “I’m afraid Mrs. Ruyi has already made preparations, otherwise, she would not have been so bold to appear in the morning. Now that she has gone to court, if she is not punished, all the concubines in the imperial palace will take her as the leader and follow her example. Then the atmosphere of Huiyuan kingdom will not be ruined by this group of ignorant women who do not know the greatness of heaven and earth! ”
“King Qi, you can’t say that. Mrs. Ruyi is also a young woman…”
Xu Taifu wanted to continue to defend Tao Susu, but when she was halfway through, she was so frightened by her next action that she couldn’t close her mouth and forgot what to say next.
I saw Tao Susu step by step, slowly and forcefully stepped on the jade steps leading to the Dragon chair, step by step into the Dragon chair.
Seeing her stop in front of the Dragon chair, Qi Wang said, “Xie Zhi, what do you want to do? Don’t you want to rebel? ”
Xu Taifu also broke out in a cold sweat, and the blood between his lips faded. After shaking, his lips asked softly, “Madam Ruyi, you…”
Tao Su glanced at him, turned to the right side of the Dragon chair, and called the waiter, “come on, get on the chair!”
The servant secretly looked at Xu Taifu, but he was stopped by Tao Susu on the way. He hummed coldly, “why, my palace can’t move you?”
“I dare not. Mrs. Ruyi is not angry. I’ll get on the chair now!”
As like as two peas in the same chair, Xu Taifu quickly relocated and moved back to the two wooden sandal chair.
Standing at the head of the group of ministers, Qi Wang Yanqi was so angry that she couldn’t see the Dragon chair she had dreamt of many times. She couldn’t sit in front of her. She had to look at the woman she abandoned sitting on the right side. She couldn’t help but angrily scold, “Xie Zhi, are you really going against the sky? Although you are favored by the emperor, don’t forget that you are only a concubine in the harem, the head of the first lady, not the queen. You are not qualified to sit on the side of the Dragon chair, let alone go to the early court to worship the ministers! ”
Taking out his ears, Tao Su looked at him with disdain. He despised him like a fly. He ignored his words and didn’t reply. He lifted up his skirt and sat in the sandalwood chair side by side with Xu Taifu.
The ministers were shocked and in an uproar.
Xu Taifu was even more surprised. He stood up abruptly. His half narrowed eyes were full at the moment. He said aloud, “Madam Ruyi, you can’t sit on it!”
“Oh? Can’t you sit on it? ”
With a smile, Tao Su straightened his sleeves and put them on his knees. He said, “why not?”
