The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

For several days, the emperor did not go to court, and Yu Zhuo went to the palace every day, but was not summoned.

Sometimes Yu Zhuo didn't know whether he was simply acting in a play with the emperor, or simply wanted to meet Xia Houzhan.If he continues to be tormented by these miscellaneous thoughts, he will probably become a demon.

In front of the palace gate, Zhou Xi also came.

Seeing him, Yu Zhuo didn't even want to perform the ceremony, and asked directly: "Master Zhou, you are not in the mansion to handle political affairs for His Majesty, what are you doing in the palace?"

"Your Majesty wants to be slack, of course a courtier should be more diligent." Zhou Xi still said with a smile, "No, the truth stays up all night, and after dealing with political affairs, I will come to persuade Your Majesty."

"All night long--instead of playing and singing every night?" Yu Zhuo asked. There are so many staff and students in Zhou Xi's mansion, I am afraid they can be compared to officials in the capital.I don't know which Xiaoxiao decisions that don't have any names are made for Jingchao's big and small matters.

Talking about singing every night, Zhou Xi would never be wronged. This person is lustful, and there are many concubines in his family.But he has a very good memory. Other officials have to keep a black account for accepting bribes. He only needs to glance at it to remember it.

Apart from the concubine Ji, there are countless kinds of disciples and staff members in the Right Prime Minister's mansion, and anyone with a bit of beauty can be recruited into the mansion.

"It can be said that the concubines and concubines in my family are not half as good as Lord Yu, even if the emperor has a good eye." While talking, Zhou Xi took a few steps back and separated a few servants from Yu Zhuo, so as not to be victimized by his sorcery again. arrive.

"Master Zhou, is it true that some people are born ugly, so they can't get used to those who are better-looking?" Yu Zhuo asked.

Zhou Xi couldn't hear others calling him ugly, but he had nothing to do with Yu Zhuo, so he could only snort coldly and walk away.As a result, the group of people around Zhou Xi shouted and hugged, "You are dead" all over their faces.

On the way back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Xina became more and more angry. Yu Hengqing really liked to fight against him, he was clearly a commoner, he knew some tricks, and he really took himself seriously.

"Master." Mrs. Zhou walked into the front hall. Seeing this, Zhou Xi waved his hands to make the group of disciples retreat, and asked what was the urgent matter.

Mrs. Zhou is also a congratulatory gift to the Buddha. On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, she must go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and chant sutras to pray for blessings.She said: "Recently, I have seen a folding fan beside the Empress Dowager Yan, it is obviously a man's thing."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Xi rolled his eyes and sneered again and again, "OK, I'll find someone to find out the truth."

"My lord, it's cool in autumn, and at night, you should go to bed earlier."

Mrs. Zhang just wanted to accuse him, Zhou Xi wanted to just let it go, and said: "Madam has been nagging more and more recently, you are the one who depends on you."

Xia Houzhan announced that he would not go to court until the beginning of October. During this period, Yu Zhuo received many letters, all of which were secretly handed over by Xiao Dezi.

A group of old officials rushed to the gate of the palace, scrambling to see the emperor, and some people shouted to kneel down.Now the guards guarding the gate are difficult to behave at both ends. In any case, all the emperor gave was "not seen".

When Yu Zhuo came, he took out the passing token and entered the palace without waiting for the guards to stop him.

In this hand, Yu Zhuo was as slippery as a loach. Although the guards in the palace had good fists and kicks, but behind him, he was as light as a swallow and ran fast.

All the ministers outside the door were dumbfounded, and Zhou Xi took the lead to say: "Based on the facts, Mr. Yu is in a hurry to meet his lover."

The ministers who were already suffocated immediately came up to ask questions.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Houzhan asked with a frown, only listening to the sound outside the door of the imperial study.

Eunuch Zhao still poured a cup of Wuyi black tea according to the old rules, and said cheerfully, "Lord Zuo Xiang, you are here. Your Majesty is always talking about it these days."

Yu Zhuo blushed inexplicably, and quickly dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote: Partition walls have ears.

Xia Houzhan said: "Picking up the snow is in the palace. It's okay for the Yuxingsi. Bring another cup of tea." He asked the ministers outside these days how they were.

"A group of old men think about seeing His Majesty every day. Isn't the autumn test coming to an end? If His Majesty waits until October to go to court again, it will be a little late after all."

"How is Zhou Xi?"

"On the surface, he is not so arrogant, but he doesn't know about it behind the scenes." Yu Zhuo stared at Xia Houzhan's side face and said.

Zhou Xi, that old fox, really can't correct anything wrong on the surface, but as time goes by, he will inevitably become complacent.Yu Zhuo thought that this boundary should be "military power".

Yu Zhuo speculated in his mind, and Xia Houzhan said, "Forget it, go to court."

About a quarter of an hour later, after entering the court, Xia Houzhan was still displeased with everyone, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Since the right minister can handle political affairs for me, why should I go to court?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence.

The emperor's heart is always unpredictable, and these courtiers couldn't tell whether the emperor's dissatisfaction was with the "Shang Dynasty" or Zhou Xi's actions.

Knowing who he invited, Yu Zhuo had no choice but to speak first: "Your Majesty Qizuo, you should set an example for the emperor! If you are not diligent, how can the world be diligent?"

Zhou Xi smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty only listens to Master Yu, and the late Emperor will be moved after seeing it."

"It's absurd to talk about the late emperor." Yu Zhuo glanced at the group of officials, and suddenly found that most of them looked a little joking, and Su Qing kept giving him winks with a bit of anxiety.

Sure enough, a spokesperson who was keen on admonishing on weekdays took the lead to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, Yu Zhuo committed a crime above, and even had an affair with the Queen Mother, which is really disregarding human relations."

"All ministers and others can testify."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, these words are a disgrace to the royal family. These ministers have no scruples, and they are "personal affairs" when they talk about it. It is really easy to tear the face of the royal family.

If it was an ordinary emperor, if he heard that the queen mother had an affair with his courtiers, even if he tried his best to cover it up, there would be a gap in his heart.However, Xia Houzhan understands this best.

Xia Houzhan thought to himself, Zhou Xi really has a lot of eyes and ears, and he can see the clues of everything.

Yu Zhuo listened to those chaotic voices of echoing, such groundless rumours, but caused the court to be as noisy as a vegetable market.

Su Qing took the lead and asked loudly: "You slander the queen mother and slander the prime minister, do you think my position as imperial doctor is useless? Mr. Zhang, do you have evidence for what you said?"

"The evidence is in the Queen Mother's hands. Many maids in the Chengluan Palace saw a folding fan used by a man in the Queen Mother's hand. If the ministers have seen it, they will be able to see that it belongs to Yu Hengqing." Master Zhang said with a smile.

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Su Qing reprimanded with a cold face.

Zhou Xi lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the Empress Dowager Yan is beautiful and beautiful. When she was young, many talented scholars sang poems for her. The best one is probably which one is Master Su's."

His voice was not loud, but it reached Su Qing's ears without missing a word.

"Presumptuous!" Xia Houzhan got up from the dragon chair, "Dare to slander the Queen Mother here, drag Zhang Luo down, and die with a stick."

Master Zhang heard this, his soul flew into the sky, and he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, what I said is true, you can't stop everyone's mouth."

"Your Majesty, minister..." Zhou Xi stepped forward, trying to dissuade him.

"If anyone dares to intercede for him, he will be guilty of the same crime." Xia Houzhan's face was frosty, with a pressing expression.

As soon as this remark came out, the court was silent for a moment, and then most of the courtiers knelt down to intercede, as if they were all forcing Xia Houzhan to revoke the imperial edict under the name of "remonstrating with death".

So many ministers knelt down in unison, but it seemed that the few people standing were extremely eye-catching.The two prime ministers sat on the grand master's chair, but there was no one who didn't know their respective positions.

Xia Houzhan was shocked by this scene.

Originally, he thought that Zhou Xi had more party members, but now it seems that Zhou Xi can cover up the sky with one hand and turn a deer into a horse.

"Okay, good, good!" After saying three "good" words in succession, Xia Houzhan got up and walked off the dragon chair, came to Yu Zhuo, and said clearly, "Kneel down."

Entrusting the prime minister is also called "worshiping the prime minister", which naturally proves that the prime minister has a high position.

"Your Majesty, do you want to listen to lies?"

"Kneel down!" Xia Houzhan raised his voice, "Yu Hengqing, are you convicted?"

The sound reverberated in the hall, gathering the eyes of all the courtiers.Many people rejoiced in misfortune, but some people lamented that the emperor was weak and incompetent, did not believe in loyal ministers, and was manipulated by others.

Xia Houzhan looked at Yu Zhuo condescendingly, and the latter smiled miserably. Although there were many elements of acting for others, Xia Houzhan was still slightly suffocated.

Why did he agree to give the folding fan to the queen?

Yu Zhuo knew a long time ago that even if it wasn't for this reason, Zhou Xi could find other reasons.

Seeing the two of them confronting each other, Zhou Xi hurriedly asked, "Master Yu, why don't you even obey His Majesty's orders? Your Majesty, is it possible that you really want to..."

"Your Majesty, I plead innocent!" Yu Zhuo was too lazy to listen to Zhou Xi's chatter, and interrupted.

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers kneeling on the ground pleaded with Zhang Luo one after another, making up their minds that "the law does not punish the public" and "three people become tigers", not caring at all about Xia Houzhan's increasingly ugly face.

Seeing Xia Houzhan clenched his fists, Yu Zhuo was afraid that he would order to kill all these people.

"Your Majesty." Yu Zhuo called him softly, with a dry voice that was different from the past, "It is you who are kneeling, not these deaf and blind people."

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhuo knelt down in front of Xia Houzhan.
