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

Suddenly the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside: "The empress dowager is here."

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and now that the Queen Mother is here, it is tantamount to confirming the truth of the "private relationship".Zhou Xi seemed to have expected this step, and asked in feigned surprise: "Why is the empress dowager here?"

Xia Houzhan took the opportunity to help Yu Zhuo up and said, "Hengqing..."

"Needless to say, the Qing is always Qing." Yu Zhuo held Xia Houzhan's hand instead, feeling like he was taking advantage of it, but Xia Houzhan just thought it was his grievance and didn't notice it.

Yu Zhuo withdrew his hand and turned to look at the Empress Dowager Yan who was present in the hall in full dress.

"What's the matter, all kneeling here?" The Empress Dowager Yan glanced at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and asked, "And the one outside, what's the matter?"

Aunt Leng Yue's voice was not too loud: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given you a stick to die."

The Empress Dowager Yan frowned slightly, and said: "The Ai family hates killing the most. The heavens have the virtue of loving life. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"If the queen mother speaks, it will be avoided." Xia Houzhan said, "I don't know why the queen mother came to court?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those ministers were all shining. If the Empress Dowager Yan said something like "excuse", it would be a fact of the matter.

Seeing the situation above the main hall, the Empress Dowager Yan didn't know what these ministers were thinking.Even the little palace lady who came to tell her that something happened to Yu Zhuo was probably arranged by someone.

"It's Ai's fault. This morning, the maid in Concubine Wan's Palace said she was pregnant with a dragon fetus. She was unhappy, so she came here and waited for His Majesty to retreat to see the situation outside. It is better to come early and tell His Majesty that it is not appropriate to see blood today."

Upon hearing this "conceived a dragon fetus", Yu Zhuo's expression became extremely condemning, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing the emperor backing down, the group of ministers congratulated triumphantly.

Concubine Wan——Xia Houzhan thought about it for a while, thinking that there seemed to be no such one person in the harem, and it was probably the empress dowager who found her.He also took advantage of the situation and said: "A group of guys who listen to the wind is rain, retreat."

This looks more like a plan to fail.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Luo was on the verge of death when he was carried in. He reckoned that even if he was cured, most of his life would be lost. Previously, he believed that he had a slight relationship with Zhou Xi, so he was so bold.

Zhang Luo is the cousin of Zhou Xi's wife's Zhou Zhang family.

"Don't you kneel down and thank the Queen Mother for your life?" Xia Houzhan scolded.

Not to mention kneeling and thanking him, he might not even be able to move.Yu Zhuo came back to his senses and said lightly: "Your Majesty, let Mr. Zhang go back. If the rest of you have any questions, just speak up."

"What's the matter with the folding fan in the Empress Dowager's hand?" The ministers who got up asked one after another.

"This..." Empress Dowager Yan pulled out the folding fan at her waist, showing a puzzled look, "Isn't this your Majesty asking Ai's family to speak of a marriage for Prime Minister Zuo?"

Xia Houzhan nodded and said seriously: "These old bastards don't even give me time to explain. They mess around like crazy. Starting today, everyone will be fined for three months."

When Eunuch Zhao saw that the court hall was quiet, he shouted "retire from the court".

The ministers retreated one after another, while Zhou Xi snorted coldly, apparently not expecting that Queen Mother Yan's move would save the day.

At this moment, Yu Zhuo guessed that what Xia Houzhan said earlier about "high position and weight" and "reviled by thousands of people" were all allusions to the Queen Mother and had nothing to do with himself.

At this moment, Yu Zhuo only felt that Xia Houzhan's eyes were completely free from the previous anxiety and worry, and all kinds of layout and interpretation seemed to be appropriate for a schemer.Losing that misunderstanding is like not having any love mixed in.

Countless thoughts came to mind, and Yu Zhuo couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.

"Your Majesty, besides this, do you have any other orders?" Yu Zhuo asked.

"Hengqing go back first, I can only wrong you for a while."

Another grievance.After hearing this word, Yu Zhuo became even more depressed. Without thinking about it, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you know what the minister's grievances are?"

Xia Houzhan was stunned but didn't understand, and said soothingly: "I know Hengqing is lonely, only this time, in the future, I will not break your pride."

You have no jokes... Yu Zhuo also smiled and said: "The minister must also do his best, and he will die."

Most of the previous thoughts were just me being confused and thinking about it for a while.

Empress Dowager Yan's eyes lingered between the two thoughtfully, seeing that Yu Zhuo was about to leave, she said apologetically, "My lord Yu, the fault of my family has hurt you."

"The empress dowager speaks seriously, there is no matter for the minister, the minister will step down first."

After Yu Zhuo left, Xia Houzhan frowned and asked with some uncertainty. : "Which one is Concubine Wan?"

"It doesn't matter if you have it now, let her have it in the future, if you don't want to have a concubine, after a few days, it will be said that she has had a miscarriage." Empress Dowager Yan put the folding fan back in Xia Houzhan's hand, "I will pay you back , so as not to have long nights and dreams, tell Prime Minister Zuo about marriage."

"Queen Mother, don't you bother anymore?" Xia Houzhan's voice was as cold as ice, not like a conversation between mother and child.

"Of course... no."

All of a sudden, Xia Houzhan was not going to court for a few days again, and Yu Zhuo realized that he really couldn't pass this hurdle. He opened and closed his eyes, and his mind was full of Xia Houzhan.

"A Bing!"

In the silent study room, Xia Yubing was taken aback by Yu Zhuo's sudden shout, and hurriedly asked him what happened.I saw Yu Zhuo handing him a stack of papers and saying "read".

"I hope the king's heart is like mine, and I will never disappoint lovesickness."

"There is a beauty who never forgets when she sees it, and who thinks about it like crazy." Xia Yubing looked a little weird, but he didn't have the courage to ask.If ordinary people see it, they will feel that their teeth are sore.

"Thinking enters my heart, summer sets in frost and snow; waiting for the king is eager, and looking forward is empty."

……

In recent days, Yu Zhuo loves to write poems, but Xia Yubing only recites them when he writes them, and he doesn't know who he wants to send them to.After a few days, I actually felt like "making people haggard because of Yixiao".

At the beginning of September, the emperor issued a decree to marry Jiang Yuli, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, to Yu Zhuo. As soon as Eunuch Li told the news, Yu Zhuo froze in place.

"Your Excellency is so happy that you won't accept the imperial decree?" Xia Yubing thought that he understood the reason why Tian Yu Zhuo wrote poems every day, and hurriedly said, "Then the young one accepted it for the adult?"

Yu Zhuo straightened up and said to Eunuch Li's imperial decree: "I have someone else in my heart, this marriage is not counted."

"This is an imperial decree, there is no chance to refuse it." Eunuch Li's expression changed instantly. He had heard earlier that the emperor and Mr. Zuo Xiang had begun to quarrel, so why did he dare not even accept the imperial edict at this moment.

Yu Zhuo smiled faintly, took out a copper plate from his purse, put it in the little eunuch's hand, and said, "The Zuo Xiangfu can't give you any rewards. Miss Jiang's family is afraid that she will be wronged if she marries with Zhenxiang."

The little eunuch and Eunuch Li were dumbfounded at the same time, it was the first time they saw someone tipping a penny.

"This..." Eunuch Li suddenly felt that the edict was like a hot potato, and gave the little eunuch a wink, and the little eunuch immediately said to Xia Yubing, "Hurry up and take it."

"Whoever picks up will marry." Yu Zhuo walked away after finishing speaking.

This trick really worked, Xia Houzhan summoned Yu Zhuo the next day.

"Hengqing, why are you doing this with me again?" Xia Houzhan asked a little dissatisfied.Which marriage in this world is not the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but when it comes to Yu Zhuo, it will stir up such a bunch of things.

"Your Majesty doesn't know?"

"What should I know?"

A few days ago, I wrote so many poems for Xia Yubing to recite, it was really a waste of time, and none of them reached Xia Houzhan's ears.He himself didn't know whether he should be thankful that the emperor trusted him, or sad that no one knew what he was thinking.

Standing up suddenly, Yu Zhuo felt a little dizzy.

At this time, the hazy black covered everything in front of Yu Zhuo, and a memory came to mind involuntarily.

There were corpses all over the ground, the moonlight was pale, and the blood that had not dried up also lost its bright red and became pale and colorless.Such a picture flashed in Yu Zhuo's mind, and then he fell into a coma.

As soon as he woke up, Yu Zhuo opened his eyes and saw Xia Houzhan clearly, and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

Xia Houzhan glanced at him in confusion, then withdrew his hand silently, and said, "You fainted, how did you hurt me? The imperial doctor said that Heng Qing had too little food...he fainted from hunger, why does Heng Qing still like to torture himself."

For some reason, Yu Zhuo wanted to laugh, and then laughed too.As soon as Xia Houzhan relaxed his frown, he grabbed Xia Houzhan's hand and saw a faint bruise on his wrist.

"minister……"

"I pinched it myself." Xia Houzhan quickly explained.

Yu Zhuo couldn't tell the ups and downs at once, and his voice was a little dull: "Your Majesty, I'm a picky eater. I was caught by the imperial dining room's appetite earlier, and the rough tea and light food at home just feel tasteless."

"Then Hengqing can't do that either."

Xia Houzhan frowned again, and Yu Zhuo's mind was filled with guilt, but Yu Zhuo couldn't move his eyes from this slightly resentful expression.

"Why don't your majesty let the minister continue to eat in the palace?"

"Wait until I get rid of the Zhou family." Xia Houzhan vowed, "As long as I get rid of the Zhou family, Hengqing wants to move to the palace, and I agree."

"You have no jokes?"

"You have no jokes!"

The author has something to say:

Missing into my heart, the summer sun sets frost and snow; waiting for the king is eagerly waiting, looking forward to nothing
