Tyrant Reborn

I kept my face calm, but in my heart I quite understood why Zhuo Lun appeared here. I coughed and walked in. Zhuo Lun and Zhuo Wenjing hurriedly saluted. .”

Zhuo Lun stood up, looked up and saw that my hand was holding Zhuo Wenjing's, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he stood aside and did not speak.I was very pleased with his reaction.

After sitting down with Zhuo Wenjing, I looked at Zhuo Lun and said, "Prime Minister, sit down."

Zhuo Lun bowed to thank him, and then sat down.

After sitting down, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little silent. I looked at the two of them, and I chuckled and said: "Prime Minister, how are the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites preparing for this imperial examination?"

"Qizhuo the emperor, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials have almost prepared for the imperial examination, the only thing that needs to be discussed is the details." Zhuo Lun stood up and replied.

I listened and nodded and said: "That's good. This palace examination must be carefully prepared. Apart from selecting talents for the imperial court, don't let people get caught with something they shouldn't have."

Zhuo Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, but he quickly came back to his senses, and calmly replied to the minister Zunzhi. I looked at him and smiled and said, "Are there any reports of waterlogging these days?"

Zhuo Lun looked serious and said: "I didn't see that."

I hmmed, thought for a while and said, "If there is any news, even if it is a little bit of news, you must first investigate it, and then report it to me as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that a small disaster will turn into a disaster It’s going to be a catastrophe, and I’m afraid you and I will be caught off guard.”

Zhuo Lun cautiously said yes.

Seeing him being so cautious, I was happy in my heart, but asked blankly: "Prime Minister, from the morning to the present, I see that you look pensive and worried, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhuo Lun hesitated for a while after hearing my question, then bowed and said: "Qizou the emperor, I... I just think that the empress is still young, and such important matters as taking over the phoenix seal may still need to be discussed."

"Is the prime minister worried that the queen mother will blame Wen Jing?" I took a sip of tea and said.

Zhuo Lun hurriedly said: "I don't dare, what I say is just what I think in my heart. The empress dowager is kind and generous. After holding the Phoenix seal for so many years, she is a bit more stable than the empress. I just worry about the empress dowager's age. Young, it's hard to take on a big job, please think twice, Your Majesty."

After hearing what he said, I tilted my head and looked at Zhuo Wenjing and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuo Wenjing glanced at me and said respectfully, "I will follow the emperor's orders."

"Then do you have any other thoughts in your mind? Do you want to be in charge of this harem or not? Don't you have a conclusion?" I looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that although I am the emperor, sometimes Your decision will also be wrong. Such a wrong decision will bring you endless troubles if you add it to your head. Don't you want to take advantage of the uncertain situation and change your mind to put an end to these threats and troubles? ?”

"Your Majesty, if you really want to talk about my minister's thoughts on being in charge of the harem, it doesn't matter. It's the same for me to be in charge of the Phoenix Seal or not in charge, so it's the same whether it's troublesome or not. Besides, I trust the emperor. "Zhuo Wenjing looked at me and smiled lightly, but deep in his eyes was a sadness that I couldn't understand. I believed what he said, but I also believed in my eyes. It was just what he thought in his heart, he didn't know. Said, after all, I can't know.

Sighing, I said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, since you have said so, after breakfast, you can go with me to Fengyi Palace to take over Fengyin."

Zhuo Wenjing hummed.

Zhuo Lun has been listening to us with a gloomy expression.

I smiled at Zhuo Lun, then looked at Liu Sha and said, "Prime Minister, let's have dinner together in the palace."

Zhuo Lun was busy thanking him.

In Yuanbao's absence, Peixiu was responsible for passing on food and drug testing. He did it very carefully and earnestly. Xiu served me.

This time Zhuo Wenjing sat across from me, Zhuo Lun sat beside him, I didn't say anything, I just tasted the porridge carefully.

I could see that Zhuo Lun was eating this breakfast with trepidation. I looked at it and felt funny in my heart. I thought to myself, it was probably the first time I used imperial food for him in the palace, so he was so frightened. Maybe it's more comfortable than me.

Because everyone had their own concerns, everyone couldn't swallow the meal, so I didn't try to force it, and I took two casual bites before letting people back down.

After the meal, we went back to the main hall, just as Yuan Bao came back, Peixiu hurriedly retreated behind him, and I looked at him and said, "How is the Grand Master? How are you?"

"Long Live Lord, Grand Master is fine, but his legs are not flexible. The imperial doctor massaged him, and he is much better now. The imperial doctor said that he needs to recuperate for a while." Yuan Bao lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly.

I listened and nodded my head and said: "Send someone to fetch some medicinal materials for soothing meridians and activating meridians in a while, pick up expensive and practical ones, and send them to the Grand Master so that he can rest and recuperate."

Yuan Bao responded.

Then I thought about nothing else, I looked at Yuan Bao and said with a smile: "You can use the cakes from the Imperial Dining Room, don't be hungry. Let's lead them all down."

"Slave, thank you Long Live Lord for the reward." Yuan Bao knelt down and said, I hummed, he got up, and then took all the eunuchs and maids who were serving in the room down.

After everyone dispersed, I looked at Zhuo Lun seriously and said: "Prime Minister, I understand your worry. You are afraid that the queen will become the target of everyone, so you are uneasy."

Zhuo Lun's face changed slightly when he heard this, I waved my hand and said: "Prime Minister, don't panic, I just want to explain my thoughts to you so that you don't hesitate." Zhuo Lun stood there silently.

"I have done a lot of wrong things in the past five years since I ascended the throne. I suddenly realized that I wanted to make amends, but I always felt that there was no way out. The small fights in the court these days were just coincidences. I wanted to fix the whole Chaofeng but It's not that easy... You don't have to excuse me, and I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repent. Once I realize my mistakes, I'll find ways to make up for them. I also know that in the past, I loved the Xue family so much that they were lawless. I understand all this, I was wrong." I looked at the scenery outside the window and said indifferently: "For the empress and the Zhuo family, I really feel guilty in my heart, and I clearly know that the prime minister is the head of all officials, but in fact the power is not great, I I have seen it through, otherwise how dare the head of the prison in the Ministry of Criminal Justice be so rude to you, let’s not talk about it... Let the Queen take charge of the Phoenix Seal this time, I also understand what kind of hardships the Queen will have, and how many people there will be Stumbling him and waiting for him to make a mistake. But then I thought about it, it might be a disaster without my secret favor, but if I really think in my heart, then although this matter is turbulent, it is a protection for Wen Jing. At this moment, the world is Looking at Wen Jing, if he does not make any mistakes, who would dare to treat him clearly? Even the Empress Dowager would not dare to bully him easily, otherwise it will be written in history books and known by future generations, but he is a narrow-minded person Forget it, this has two sides to everything, the most dangerous one, but perhaps it is safe on the other hand.”

"The emperor's foresight and foresight are beyond the reach of humble ministers." Zhuo Lun said.

I looked back at him with a half-smile and said, "Prime Minister, since you are here today, I have one more thing to say. The reason why I want to confirm the status of the lord of the quiet harem is not because of Zhuo's family fighting with Xue's family. I don't want you to take the opportunity to defeat the Xue family. I just took the opportunity to make a way for Wen Jing. He is my queen. I want a prince, but a queen without power and a prince without power are in this harem , there must be only a dead end, do you understand?"

Zhuo Lun looked around in shock, and I said coldly: "Don't worry, Yuan Bao is outside, no one dares to sneak around here and eavesdrop. Apart from Wen Jing and Zhen, only you know this."

Zhuo Lun lowered his eyes and moved his mouth to say something, and I said again: "There is no need to say anything, you have a deep understanding of this matter, you just let them go to the Xue family as before, so that they can't see it." Qing, true and false, false and true are confusing."

Zhuo Lun hurriedly responded, said here, the conversation has already started, I said: "It's nothing, let's go down."

Zhuo Lun thanked him and withdrew.

After he left, I looked at Zhuo Wenjing, thought about it for a while, and said, "How are you?"

He was looking at me, and when he heard this, his face turned red with shame, his eyes glanced at other places, and he nodded as if there was nothing, I chuckled twice, went up to hold his hand and said: "Then I will accompany you Let's go to Fengyi Palace."

Zhuo Wenjing hummed.

When going to Fengyi Palace, the queen mother was naturally still ill, and her face was very ugly.

Of course she knew what I did today, and she didn't even look at me when Zhuo Wenjing and I came.

When Zhuo Wenjing saluted her, the queen mother sneered, and I chuckled and said something else, and then we were silent.

In the end, the queen mother made Zhuo Wenjing stand up, and then told Ruolan to take out the brocade box, looked at me with a sneer, and said, "The emperor is here today, and he just wants this phoenix seal? The Ai family will just give it to me." After finishing speaking, she took the phoenix seal Throw it on the ground.

The printed letter rolled out of the brocade box and hit the jade steps at the door, a small corner of the bottom of the printed letter was broken.

There was silence in Fengyi Palace, I reluctantly picked up the seal, handed it to Zhuo Wenjing and said, "Queen Mother, why are you bothering, I'm just worried about your health."

The queen mother snorted coldly and said, "Ai's family is in good health. Isn't the emperor busy with official duties? Ai's family won't keep you today, go back."

Seeing her cold face, I sighed, then bowed to Zhuo Wenjing and left Fengyi Palace.

When sending Zhuo Wenjing back to the Tai Palace, I said: "It should be grand to take over the Phoenix Seal, but this time I have wronged you."

Zhuo Wenjing looked at me with slightly warm eyes and said: "Your Majesty, this is not what I care about."

so what do you care?I raised my eyebrows in confusion, but he smiled but stopped talking.

At that moment, for some reason, I suddenly felt that I was far away from this person's heart. Even though he liked me, even though he was willing to do anything for me, I still didn't understand him...

I don't know what he wants...
