Chapter 17 The Sharp Spear (Part 1)

After forcibly intimate with the queen in public, I felt satisfied and let go of my rampant hands. I smacked the scent of the lips left on my lips and smiled jokingly: "The Queen is worthy of being a natural beauty, and even her lips are so delicious."

"The emperor will make fun of me." The queen panted and said coquettishly.

"Empress, the imperial meal has been brought here." Dong'er came back outside, her face flushed with cold, very cute.

Several eunuchs from the imperial kitchen brought in one by one and put a large table full of food.

I never drink much during the day, so I asked all the girls to come and have dinner together.

The dishes prepared by the authentic imperial kitchen in the palace are indeed very delicate. Unfortunately, the taste is a little cooler.

After the meal, I burped my whole meal and almost swallowed my tongue.

"Your Majesty, I'm seeing that you've been outside for a long time, so I miss the taste of the imperial meal, right?" The queen was satisfied with the food and smiled.

"It's better to eat hot pot at night. The weather is so cold, and the prepared food is cold. No matter how good the taste is, it will be a big discount." I suggested.

"Youhong obeys the order." After a little joke with me, the queen said seriously: "Emperor, if there is nothing important in the afternoon, please accompany me to the Queen Mother's place to pay my respects?"

Empress Dowager? When I talk about the empress dowager, I felt a little irritable. People say that people are old and have a mother-son heart. If she sees it through, it will be a bad idea. If there is nothing special, I think it would be better to avoid it.

"Youhong, go alone in the afternoon. I have some memorandums to review. In addition, I just came back from outside and felt quite tired." I said with a lie.

The queen felt a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to force me, so she nodded sadly: "Then you, please take care of yourself. I will take your sisters to your new residence first. You can review the memoirs."

I was about to have a good time with the girls in the afternoon, but after all, I had to give up after all.

At this time, the eunuch came in again and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to arrange some entertainment activities in the afternoon? Or go to Nanshu to review the memorial?"

"Entertainment activities?" I thought to myself, all my favorite entertainment activities were taken away by the queen. Forget it, I just got to be diligent before, but after all, I have to be familiar with the process here.

The Nan Study Room is located in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, just west of the Qianqing Gate, and is a corner building. The study room is not big, but there are two rows of books placed on the bookshelf on both sides.

In addition to desk utensils, there is also a couch in the room. I guess the emperor was tired of reviewing the memorials and could be here for a while.

The mistress and the little son stood at the entrance of the study room, waiting for my summons at any time.

I sorted out my mood for a moment and sat down at the big table. In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there were also memorials like a hill on the table.

Of course, these are just those selected memorials. If all the memorials from all over the country are brought up, I am afraid that the Nan Study will be filled with them and I will not be able to put them down.

I picked up a book and read it carefully. I thought it was feasible, so I covered it with a jade seal to indicate that it was approved. I should have asked to write some suggestions and comments, but I didn’t have to take out the disgusting brush calligraphy to show that it was obvious. So, I directly used a cross to indicate that it was not approved.

In this way, my processing speed became very fast. After an hour, I could often process dozens of folds. However, it took nearly an afternoon to review all the folds.

I took a sip of the tribute Longjing, lay on the chair with difficulty, closed my eyes and rested. Damn, it turned out that I was so troublesome to be a good emperor? Fortunately, I didn’t want to be a wise monarch who has been famous for all ages. My biggest ideal is that I don’t want those people to be forced to sell their sons and daughters by life. The rest is my time to enjoy myself.

"Miss Sanzi, go and tell Zhang Huang, the commander of the imperial guards, to come over." I suddenly remembered that incident and immediately called Zhang Huang with the miss Sanzi.

In a moment, Zhang Huang came to Nan Study Room and listened to my instructions respectfully.

"Zhang Huang, do you know the Jinyiwei?" I asked lightly.

"I naturally know." Zhang Huang didn't expect me to suddenly ask about this.

I got up from the Grand Master's chair, stretched a few times, and yawned, "Are you familiar with Xiao Qi, the commander of the Jinyiwei?"

Regarding the Jinyiwei, I also see it from today's memorials. Among those piles of memorials, there were about ten of them impeached the Jinyiwei commander Xiao Qi. They all said that he was arrogant and did not take the ministers in the court seriously.

In addition, there is an additional benefit to reviewing the memorials. I finally know the names of many officials. Although I was unable to match their names with their faces for a while, I always made some progress.

"Although the imperial guards who belong to the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards belonging to the Weichen both have the responsibility to protect the emperor, they do not belong to the same system. The imperial guards focus on protection, while the Jinyiwei focus on eliminating the enemy. In addition, Lord Xiao's surname is relatively introverted, and Weichen is not familiar with him." Zhang Huang replied honestly.

Well. I pondered for a while. Now the imperial guards are almost in my hands. This is a solid shield that can protect my safety. However, I still lack a sharp spear that can help me eliminate dissidents and eliminate foreign enemies. The Jinyiwei is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

After connecting this point, I went to Xiao Qi with my mistress and asked Zhang Huang to arrange dozens of imperial guards to lie around. If Xiao Qi was not cooperative in his heart, I would kill him directly and replace him with Bai Shixing.

After hearing my order, Zhang Huang immediately started to arrange it. After a while, he was ambushed. Even dozens of experts besieged, even if he was a land-level master, it would be difficult to escape without hesitation.

Within half an hour, Xiao Qi appeared outside the Nan Study Room and shouted respectfully: "I am Xiao Qi, please wait for my emperor." The voice was a little hoarse, but more of a gloomy feeling that was indescribable.

"Come in." I lay back on the chair of the Grand Master and said in a plain tone.

"I obey the order." The door creaked and was pushed open. The one who came in was a thin man, about thirty years old, but he looked like he was forty years old, full of vicissitudes of life and an unpredictable look.

He bent down, his whole face calmed down, and I couldn't visit his facial expression. Fortunately, I had that super watch. I first observed it. His combat power was only about one hundred, but I believe that it was completely inaccurate. Look at his demeanor, if it exploded, it was likely to be above Zhang Huang. In addition, the friendship was not high, only forty-nine, and of course, this was normal. If he was loyal to me as soon as he came up, it would be puzzling.

"You have a look at these few notes first." I pointed to the pile of notes that impeached him, and then gently savored the Longjing Tea in front of the Rain. Zhang Huang stood behind me, with no expression on his face, but in fact he was trying his best to be wary.

"Return to the emperor, I guess that these are all memorials to impeach me." Xiao Qi took a copy and looked at it, but his face did not change at all.

"Then tell me, what's the reason?" I slowly closed my eyes, too lazy to look at his expression again. Anyway, looking at him like that, no matter how he was, his face would not change. I still don't look down on my surname.

"When I go back to the emperor, all the Jinyiwei are hated by officials at all levels. Because Jinyiwei itself is a job that makes them sick." Xiao Qi paused for a moment and then said: "As the commander of the Jinyiwei, if Weichen does not arouse hatred from many officials, it means that Weichen's duties have not been fulfilled."

"Okay." I stood up suddenly, stared straight into his eyes and said, "The Great Wu Dynasty has a loyal minister like you, which is a blessing for all people."

Speaking of this, I paused again: "I have read all the memorials sent by your Jinyiwei. As you said, the corruption and bribery in the court has become quite serious." As I said that, I picked up his memorials and read: "I found out that Liu Zhenming, the Minister of Revenue, was suspected of owning unknown assets of more than one million taels, four luxurious mansions, countless antique calligraphy and paintings. There are nine concubines in private. Humph, that fat man, I don't know if he can move."

"Report to the emperor, this matter is just a matter of merit in his position and a certain position. I have already handed over the merits about Liu Zhenming for the fourth time." Xiao Qi still looked gloomy.

The fourth time? Doesn’t that mean that guy I used to know long ago? But why didn’t he take action at all? Humph, that guy who was looking forward to the front was actually suppressed by a group of ministers. What kind of emperor is worse than changing careers and becoming a eunuch. It made the loyal ministers feel cold in their hearts, such as Xiao Qi in front of them.

"I was negligent the previous few times." I said lightly: "Xiao Qi, would you like to trust me again and do your best for me? I will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Qi said coldly: "If I say no, is the emperor already planning to prevent Weichen from leaving this Nan Study Room alive?"

I was stunned, and he actually knew.

"If the king wants his minister to die, he has to die. Is the emperor overestimating the minister too much?" Xiao Qi's expression has not changed at all.

...

(Haha, I finally wrote enough 70,000 words to meet the ban standard. Let’s discuss together, if you become emperor, what is the first thing you want to do? What is the most ridiculous thing you can do?)
