Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 595
Yuan Zhi held his head in shame and did not dare to look directly at Murong Zhining’s eyes: “emperor, I have committed an unforgivable crime to you If it wasn’t for the morbid character of Cheng Yanqing just now, I would like to let myself die a thousand times! Emperor, we’d better match the monarch and the minister in the future! Be brother and sister again It’s not too bad It’s up to you to decide! ”
Murong Zhining’s eyes became gentle: “you don’t have to blame yourself like this. I didn’t regard Cheng Yanqing as a man at all! I hurt you, but you feel guilty in turn. How can you make me feel? I I don’t want to be brother and sister with you. Let’s treat it with the courtesy of monarch and Minister for the time being
Yuan Zhiping nodded: “emperor, it’s time for you to go to bed! Don’t get up early tomorrow morning. I’ll send the memorial to the imperial study. When you are better, you can read it slowly. ”
Murong Zhining was particularly gentle: “then I will listen to you and steal a day’s laziness. In the court tomorrow morning, you should deal with those difficult old ministers for me first. The government should not be wasted for a day. You should also review the memorial for me
In front of zaede hall, all the civil and military officials held chaowat in their hands and looked forward to it. The voice of discussion became one: “the emperor has been in power for half a year, and he has never been late. What’s the matter today?” “It has to be said that although the emperor is a woman, he has dealt with the government affairs in an orderly manner, and has never made any omissions.” “Ah After all, she is a little girl. Her body can’t be compared with that of a man. It can be said that she is sick occasionally “Look, Lord yuan is here. It seems that the emperor will be absent today…”
Fei Fei walks in front of Fei Fei with his hands in his hands. Yuan Zhi walks behind Fei Fei with his head held high. Although he is dressed in a three grade imperial uniform, he looks as powerful as the emperor.
The civil and military officials bowed and respectfully welcomed Yuan Zhi into the court. The posture was almost kneeling on the ground and shouting long live.
Yuan Zhi followed the carved red sandalwood steps paved with carpets and went to Murong Zhining’s throne. He announced to his ministers, “the emperor has to stay in bed for two days because he has been working on state affairs. He has ordered me to deal with government affairs temporarily.”
Fei Fei personally carried a soft chair and placed it beside the throne: “please sit down, Mr. Yuan!”
All the courtiers whispered again: “how did the emperor suddenly fall ill? Is it not that the wind is turning again? ” “Keep it down. You don’t want a head?” “Although the emperor works hard and loves the people, he is a little lady in the end To rule the country and make the world peaceful, we still have to have men! ”
Privy Shi Li Zun bowed: “Lord yuan, after all, the emperor is a daughter, and can’t afford heavy government affairs. For the sake of the long-term prosperity of the Shang and Xia dynasties, we specially ask Lord yuan to take power on behalf of the emperor!”
Yuan Zhi sat on the chair with a cold face: “Mr. Li, the Emperor just hurt a little wind. He can recover after two days’ rest. Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has always been well-informed and well appointed, and has never been slack in the government for a long time! Why is it that you are anxious to impeach her when she is ill for a day
Li Zun was so scared that he knelt on the ground: “Lord yuan, I don’t mean that! Since you are about to be appointed prince, is it not natural for you to take the place of the emperor? ”
Yuan Zhi raised his arm and said, “Mr. Li, please rise. You are from the second grade official post, but I have not yet been granted an imperial edict, and I have no official post for the time being, so I can’t afford your great gift. Although I Yuan Zhi dealt with the government affairs for the emperor for two days, I was not a member of the court. The rumor that the imperial edict was to be the prince of government was even more illusory. Therefore, you do not need to pay such a big gift to me. ”
Several officials with the same political views as Li Zun also knelt down in the hall: “Lord yuan, we and Lord Li have the same views. It has always been the man’s responsibility to govern the country and secure the country. We urge Lord yuan to replace the emperor in power!”
Yuan Zhi patted the armrest of the chair with dignity: “the achievements of the emperor are not inferior to any of the previous emperors in the past dynasties! The reason why Shang and Xia were able to develop everything in a short period of half a year was inseparable from the emperor’s Jackson night clothes! Since she is a good emperor, you must support her unconditionally
Li Zun stood up and said: “women’s governance of the world must be limited by their vision! Lord yuan, the emperor ordered to block the border leading to Huayan. This decision will restrict the long-term development of Shang and Xia dynasties! ”
Yuan Zhi frowned: “we can be self-sufficient in grain and animal husbandry. Trading with Huayan is not the only way to make SHANGXIA strong. The emperor broke off the contact with Hua Yan, and we could turn our trade to the small countries around us. In this way, it had no great influence on the Shang and Xia dynasties. Since Princess Changping married Hua Yan to Hua Yan, there have been two princesses in SHANGXIA. They have been treated unfairly in Huayan! It seems that the emperor’s decision to break off diplomatic relations with Hua Yan is to protect the dignity of SHANGXIA, and her decision is correct! ”
Li Zun, speechless, took the wat board and returned to the ranks of civil servants.
Li Hua, general of Yunhui, said in a row: “tell your majesty yuan that the emperor has ordered the border to be blocked, which does not mean that the frontier is in peace! Recently, I observed that Hua Yan has been hoarding more than 10000 troops on our border and constantly building military fortifications along the border. It can be seen that Hua Yan has the heart to raise troops to the north. ”
Yuan Zhi calmly said: “although Shang Xia broke off diplomatic relations with Hua Yan, the monarch and the emperor of Hua Yan still had friendship, and would not easily send troops to Shang Xia. Besides, the strength of Hua Yan and Shang Xia is equal. Even if there is a war, we will not be afraid! “People began to talk again and again. Li Hua said, “maybe we don’t have to worry about the decisive battle against Hua Yan alone. But if the kingdom of Wuli gets involved in it and our Shang Xia is attacked by the enemy, how can we achieve both ends?”
Yuan Zhiwei narrowed his eyes with disdain in his eyes: “Wuli is a small country, why be afraid of it? I heard that the kingdom of Wuli has been making trouble frequently at our frontier recently. It must be that I saw Hua Yan and Shang Xia at a crossfire. I want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. ”
Li Hua said, “Lord yuan, although Wu Li is small, her ambition is great! Under the pretext of the disappearance of the fourth prince in the Shang and Xia dynasties, the Wuli royal family frequently made troubles to my frontier! At the end of the war, the general asked to lead troops to go there, to flatten Wuli and bring it into the territory of SHANGXIA! ”
Yuan Zhi pondered for a moment and then said, “although SHANGXIA is a towering Dynasty, it has never been bullied. For hundreds of years, there has been no precedent for foreign expansion. If we set a precedent, the small countries around us will be in constant panic! Occasionally, one or two clowns come out to challenge, but they can’t raise too much storm. Besides, this matter is not imminent, it needs to be considered for a long time! This is the end of today’s court meeting. If something happens, please submit a memorial and withdraw from the court! ”
In the imperial study, Yuan Zhi is looking at the memorial at the desk. Murong Zhining enters the imperial study with her hands and feet. She smiles and coughs gently when she sees Yuanzhi’s concentration.
Yuan Zhi looked up at Murong Zhining. He stood up and went forward and bowed: “see the emperor! Didn’t you take a few more days off? Why can’t I sit down for two days
Murong Zhining looked at Yuanzhi with gentle eyes: “I’m too busy in sangrou palace. Come to see you. I still need to rest for a few more days! Lord yuan, didn’t I give you a royal uniform? Why are you wearing a nondescript Sanpin imperial suit? But it’s pretty good… ”
Yuan Zhi reached out and made a gesture of invitation: “please sit down, Emperor! I have no official position, and I have not been granted a title. In fact, I am just a piece of cloth. I was afraid that I would not be decent in the court, so I asked manager Fei to find it for me
Murong Zhining said with a smile: “some people, even if they wear ordinary clothes, can’t hide their temperament! I heard that the senior officials in the imperial court support you very much, and even want to impeach me. Since it is the people’s wish, I simply comply with the people’s heart and will give you the throne! ”
Yuan Zhimian was unhappy: “emperor, you’d better get better soon and handle the government affairs yourself! The old ministers are just concerned about your health. I’m afraid you can’t bear it. I’m not trying to impeach you. Your achievements are obvious to all. What’s more, if I am willing to accept Zen, wouldn’t it go against my original intention? You have to bear a bad reputation for deceiving the world
Murong Zhining walked to the desk, turned up a memorial and focused on looking: “you are right, stand straight, so scrupulous of other people’s ideas, what do you do? If you don’t want to be a prince sooner or later, isn’t it reasonable for you to rule for me? ”
Yuan Zhi said coldly: “emperor, you and I are monarchs and ministers. I don’t accept the title of king!”
Murong Zhining quietly looked up at Yuan Zhi: “I have opened my mouth, you are still tense?”
Yuan Zhi changed the topic: “since the emperor has recovered his health, it is up to the emperor to review the memorial! I’ll go to Qiongyuan palace to see the little prince! ”
Murong Zhining complained: “you haven’t answered me yet? As soon as the king is mentioned, you will try your best to escape. Will I eat you? That group of old ministers are looking forward to it. I’d like to be subject to a young lady again. They all hope that you will marry me, so that I can be a shopkeeper who can shake hands with me. ”
Yuan Zhi said coldly, “when did you become so obedient? If you are asked to marry me, will you marry me? Would you like to marry Hua Yan
Murong Zhining patted the memorial to the table: “Yuanzhi, are you the emperor or I the emperor? I’ve just forgiven you for your mistake. Have you raised your head again? I’ve figured it out. I want to marry you! ”
Yuan Zhi frowned, and his eyes were cold: “do you think it through? Have you asked me if I’ve figured it out? Agreed to get along with the monarch and his subjects, isn’t it good? You can see that my character can’t be changed. When we are together, we can only hurt each other. Why do you have to suffer? ”
Murong Zhining walked in front of Yuan Zhi with negative hands and looked up at him: “you look at my eyes, don’t dodge! Will you marry me
Yuan Zhi looked directly at Murong Zhining: “emperor, why do you always go to extremes? Isn’t it safer to talk about marriage after three years and five years when you are calm? ”
Murong Zhining took Yuan Zhi’s hand: “do you have any worries, can you tell me?”? Why wait three years and five years? I want to forget everything and start over with you now
Yuan Zhi looked at Murong Zhining mildly: “emperor, it’s not a capricious time now. After three years and five years, you can see what you need! I’m going to Qiongyuan palace. Please read the memorial first. If you can’t handle it, I’ll review it in the evening. ”
Murong Zhining stretched out his hand to block Yuan Zhi and said, “don’t go. I want to discuss government affairs with you. I’ve read General Li’s book. Wu Li has been making trouble frequently recently. I want to kill him! ”
Yuan Zhi shook his head helplessly: “you are the emperor of the Shang and Xia dynasties. If you want to fight, you don’t have to ask me! Before you can be willful, please think about the consequences first. If you fight with Wuli, if Hua Yan takes the opportunity to send troops, Shang Xia will be attacked by the enemy! ” He said and turned away.Murong Zhining scolded: “Yuanzhi, did I let you go? Don’t think I’ll be used to you all the time. ”
Yuan Zhi stopped in front of the door and looked back at Murong Zhining with cool eyes: “I have no official position and no title. Why do I stay in the palace? You know better than anyone else. Don’t put on airs in front of me, I won’t eat you! ”
Yuanzhi was about to step out of the imperial study when Xu Jiantao hurriedly entered the gate of Yikun palace and walked towards the imperial study.
Standing at the door of the imperial study, Yuan Zhi asked, “what’s the matter? Flustered? ”
Xu Jiantao wiped the sweat on his forehead: “I’d like to report to the emperor and Lord yuan that something has happened to sangrou palace.”
