Chapter 19 The Sleepless Emperor Huizong
"Your Majesty wake up, it's time to go to court! Your Majesty..."
The soft voice of the palace maid sounded in the ears of Huizong Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji was a little late last night. The palace maid had to increase the volume and summoned several times before she woke up Zhao Ji who was sleeping and glaring.
After all, he is not young anymore and takes the elixirs refined by Taoist priests every day. When Zhao Ji first opened his eyes, he even felt dizzy.
The elixirs offered by Taoists usually have some effect. After taking them, they must be digested with some exercises that are not suitable for children. Although this exercise is fun, it cannot resist it every day!
It can be said that before we knew it, Zhao Ji's body had been hollowed out.
After washing up under the palace maid and eunuch, he ate something randomly and put his stomach on his stomach. The eunuch carried it to the golden hall with his shoulders, and yawned all the way, just like he had just smoked smoke.
"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
"Get up! Your Majesty has an order, and if you have a precept, you will leave the court without a precept!"
Zhao Ji almost hated this morning court. If it weren't for the ancestral teachings, he wouldn't have gotten up.
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, an ignorant guy jumped out among the ministers.
"I will report to Your Majesty, I will give you my comment!"
"Come on fast!"
Zhao Ji said weakly, he didn't even look at the minister who was the one who was reported. It turned out that his heart had already gone to sleep on the dragon bed.
"I impeach Your Highness, King Yi, to make private friends with bandits in the world, which will damage the prestige of the court and the royal demeanor. Please ask Your Majesty to take a closer look."
Zhao Ji's yawning mouth was just half open. When he heard that the minister impeached his son, he couldn't help swallowing the untouched yawn back. But before he could speak, another minister jumped out.
"I report to Your Majesty that I impeached the Grand Marshal Gao Qiu to privately transfer the imperial guards, with a ill intention. There are also crimes such as Gao Taiwei defies the law and sets up a private court. Please check it out together."
What's wrong today? Did I not wake up?
Zhao Ji couldn't help but rub his eyes hard, and the two censors who just jumped out were the ones.
It is normal for anyone to impeach as a censor, but Zhao Ji knew very well that these two censors, one was Cai Jing's man and the other was the prince's man.
It’s okay for Cai Jing’s people, but what happened to the prince’s people jumping out? I’m not dead yet. Did you want to show your presence so early?
A eunuch quickly took the memorials of the two censors and turned to present them to Zhao Ji.
The memorial to impeach Zhao Qi exaggeratedly describes how he lost the royal face, stirred up with the street gangsters, and how he led people to hurt Gao Qiu's son, etc.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at it and became more and more confused. Is the person mentioned above his own good eighth son? Don't this censor was encouraged by the prince and came to wear small shoes for Xiaoba again?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the prince Zhao Huan who was standing beside him.
Because of Xiao Yiyi's incident, Zhao Ji was already dissatisfied with Zhao Huan. He thought that if Zhao Yu was not dealing with, Zhao Huan would restrain him, but he didn't expect that this kid would frame his brothers. It's still endless. Wait, if this matter is not true, would I see if I slap you?
Zhao Huan obviously felt the dissatisfaction in his father's eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble. He thought, could it be that Xiaoba's position in his father's heart is really getting higher and higher? This dead Yang Xu doesn't know how to remind me...
Selfish people always push problems to others, but never look for reasons in themselves.
At this time, Zhao Ji picked up the memorial to impeach Gao Qiu again, and after only a few glances, his face sank.
What are the most taboos for emperors in all dynasties? It is nothing more than their own safety. The imperial guards in the imperial city protect the existence of the emperor, but now they can be mobilized by Gao Qiu at will. What does Gao Qiu want to do?
Although Zhao Ji regards Gao Qiu as a good friend, that is when Gao Qiu does not touch his bottom line. If this matter is true, Xiao Gao will be afraid that he will be in trouble.
"Where is Gao Qiu!"
It was not until this time that Zhao Ji realized that Gao Qiu had not come to court.
Cai You, the Privy Councilor of the Privy Council, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Taiwei Gao was frightened last night. He suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night. He had sent someone to ask for leave from the Wei minister."
Zhao Ji became more and more confused as he listened. Yesterday, he saw Gao Qiu jumping around, so why did he get sick in one day?
"What the hell is going on? Come on the quick move!"
At this moment, Zhao Ji was not sleepy at all, and his intuition told him that the various impeachments in the morning court this morning must not be that simple.
Cai You first exchanged glances with Zhao Huan, and then glanced at the group of followers under his father proudly, thinking that I was lucky that I was prepared, otherwise I would let you take the lead.
I cleared my throat and was about to speak when I suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps behind me.
"I heard from Your Majesty that Your Highness, Your Highness, tied up himself up, and was kneeling outside the palace to apologize, and said that Taiwei Gao was wronged."
"What?"
Zhao Ji felt that his head seemed a little bad, and he thought to himself that he was singing the same song today! Could it be that I am really dreaming?
Cai You was also stunned. After Gao Qiu was taken back by his subordinates last night, he came to his mansion overnight. Then they decided on this strategy of retreating as an advance, with the purpose of forcing King Yi Zhao Yu to appear so as to divert the court officials.
Everything was going as planned, but I didn’t expect Zhao Yu to come by himself. He even played with such a show of apologizing for the crime. If you apologize for the crime, you should apologize for the crime. It was also a crime, so why do you have to raise your apology? When will you two get along?
Although it is still summer and I can’t freeze people with my shirtlessness, Zhao Yu is the prince, which is related to the royal face!
Zhao Ji wanted his son to go to the harem first, and he would talk about his affairs back, but someone impeached him just now, and he said he wanted to be accused of Gao Qiu. So many ministers below watched, and wouldn't he let his son go to the palace misunderstand that he wanted to be favored?
In desperation, Zhao Ji had no choice but to order someone to take Zhao Yu to the Golden Palace.
Today's morning court seemed to be held for Zhao Yu and Gao Qiu. During the period when Zhao Yu was taken to the hall, no one spoke again.
Cai You, who was originally going to defend Gao Qiu, also watched coldly, obviously trying to see what tricks Zhao Yu could do.
Time was not long, and Zhao Yu was bare-armed and carrying a bundle of firewood behind her back. He looked depressed and came to the hall. There was an eunuch beside him who wanted to put on his clothes, but Zhao Qi stubbornly threw it away. Just looking at his acting skills, it would be fine to win the Oscar...
Before Zhao Ji could ask, Zhao Yu knelt down on the ground and shouted: "My son is wrongly involved in a bandit, so he almost killed Taiwei Gao. Please punish him."
What a mess?
Zhao Ji became more and more confused as he heard it, and he didn't let anyone loosen his ties to Zhao Yu. He blurted out: "I've been confused by you. What's going on?"
"A thief broke into the Taiwei Mansion at night and kidnapped Taiwei, and asked Taiwei Gao to hand over the imperial guards instructor Lin Chong. My son-in-law didn't know that Lin Chong had contact with people in the world and had many contacts on weekdays, which made Taiwei Gao fall into a dangerous place. In the end, although Taiwei Gao returned safely, my son-in-law was also unforgivable. Please punish him."
Zhao Ji had long forgotten Lin Chong's fault. Now, after hearing his son mention it, he felt a little impression.
At this time, Li Yan, who was standing by, said at the right time: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, may have been deceived. When I was in Gao Taiwei's Mansion, Gao Taiwei once swears to tell me that Lin Chong had been assassinated by Qingzhou, so how could he appear in the Taiwei's Mansion again?"
