Are you stupid?

Emperor Taixing sat on his seat with an expression of displeasure, his ears filled with complaints from the old officials, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.

He really wanted to refute the old minister, not only did he not take a few people to wander around in the streets, but he even dared to take his wife and daughter out after getting married, and his son was not injured, so why should these outsiders care about it?

Zhou Ji and Zongzheng Liuzhou, who begged for bones to go home on the grounds that "the old man can't continue to work", and were coaxed back by the classics under the guise of being a teacher for the prince, reacted the most violently.

"Why does Your Majesty keep silent? Do you dislike the old minister's wordiness and disturb the elegance of Your Majesty and the confidante?" Zong Zheng glanced at the direction where the maid was leaving with her clothes in her arms, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, there are many beauties in your harem, and the Empress Dowager I have never been jealous. Not only did I manage the harem in an orderly manner, the marriages of the princes and princesses were also arranged to my heart's content. Among the children of the empress, the eldest princess married far away, His Highness Linde died early, and His Highness Xingye was weak. The only thing the empress can count on is the prince. Even if you cannot do without women, you should care about the prince more."

Emperor Taixing really didn't like to hear these words, he thought he was good enough to Empress Cui, even though the flowers in the harem came and went in these years, he didn't let Empress Cui stay alone.Queen Cui failed to give birth to another child after Xingye, that is Queen Cui's problem.

Emperor Taixing suppressed his mouth and retorted: "Shuhui's marriage is the son-in-law chosen by Cui himself. Linde's early death is because he didn't have the blessing. Xingye is weak... There are so many children in the harem, and he is the only one who is sick. , everything else is healthy. The child is not in good health, even if there is something wrong, it has nothing to do with me."

Zongzheng had never seen a father who could call out the word "sick child" to his own son, and he was so angry that he held his chest and couldn't speak, and felt depressed for a while.

His eyes widened, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be evened out.

After Zongzheng took several breaths in a hurry, he slowly recovered.He hammered his chest hard and stepped back, sitting down on the chair to rest.

The servant hurriedly brought hot tea for Zongzheng to pour down, and kept asking about his health, fearing that the old man would really be angered by Emperor Taixing in the palace.

In fact, let the servants say that Emperor Taixing's words are too cold.

There were so many concubines and maids in the palace who were thrown away by Emperor Taixing once, it was embarrassing enough just to put all the people in.Empress Cui has been in charge of palace affairs for so many years, so that Emperor Taixing has no worries, and there is hard work without credit.

No, how can you say no credit?

When Emperor Taixing had unjust government affairs, didn't he always hide with Empress Cui and leave all the troublesome things to his wife to deal with.

It has only been a few days since the ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince. His Majesty saw that the crown prince was almost injured when he went out, and found out that King Lu was involved. In order not to hurt his reputation, he deliberately refused to go to the Chengqing Hall or visit him. really...

It's hard to say.

If they didn't enter the palace and became eunuchs, and they met such good wives and children as Queen Cui and the prince, they would wish to burn incense every day.

Zong Zhengzheng was not easy to get over his breath, he couldn't bear it anymore, he patted his thigh and said: "Your Majesty, is this kind of nonsense? If it spreads, people will say that you are selfish and cold, that you don't care about the safety of your children, and that father and son have separated .Even if the prince is just a little frightened, you should visit him a few times and reward him a lot! Now the prince has been lying in the Chengqing Palace for several days and has not come out of the palace gate. But you have not seen it once, which makes you How do people in the world say hello?"

"What can I say about this? It's not that I sent people to assassinate Shenlong, it was just an accident." Emperor Taixing didn't think there was any truth in Zongzheng's words, and refused to admit his mistake.

"Old Zong is taking a break, let me explain the reasoning to His Majesty."

Seeing that Emperor Taixing would not enter, Zhou Ji replaced Lao Zongzheng, who was about to be stunned by Emperor Taixing, and walked tremblingly in front of Emperor Taixing on crutches, performing the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

Emperor Taixing was rejected by many courtiers at the beginning, so after he ascended the throne, he liked the courtiers to salute him the most, and he had a different appearance as a monarch and his ministers.

He was originally very irritable because of Zongzheng Yiyuxi Group's attitude towards the deputy head of the family to teach the unfilial son, but after seeing Taishi Zhou's complete set of gifts, he suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and his irritability disappeared.

He pretended to be generous and ordered, "Give me a seat for the Grand Master."

Zhou Ji, who just got up and stood firm, twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed inwardly, "It's a mischief", and knelt back to the ground again to thank Taixing Emperor.Then he put his hands on the ground when Emperor Taixing said "the Grand Master doesn't need to perform this great ceremony", deliberately wailed "Ouch", fell on the ground and refused to get up.

"Please, Your Majesty Xuan Imperial Physician. The old man's waist." Zhou Ji screamed miserably, but his limbs were firmly supported on the ground, and the two young servants didn't help him up.

Emperor Taixing raised his hand specially to shout, but he couldn't put it down for a long time.

The change in front of him came too suddenly, he watched helplessly that the courtiers and servants in the big study were all focused on Zhou Ji, worried that there was something wrong with his health, and he hadn't reacted yet.

After realizing that Grand Master Zhou was injured, he could only lower his hand feebly and order, "Go to the Imperial Medical Office and call an imperial physician."

The imperial physician came over quickly, and even though he couldn't see what was wrong with Zhou Ji's health, he still quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Grand Master Zhou is old and frail, and his legs and feet are not flexible, so he really shouldn't be making big salutes."

He felt bad after saying this sentence, and hurriedly added, "Old people who are more than a few years old can no longer kneel to officials in the civil society. The old grand master is already an octogenarian, so he should know this truth. Giving a big gift is too much effort.”

So, Your Majesty, don't bother such an old man just to live the emperor's addiction all day long, and take the initiative to speak in advance to avoid the trouble of saluting.

Emperor Taixing's face ached from the dryness of a few words, and after humming for a long time, he still couldn't find a reason to cover it up, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth and not speak.

When the imperial physician withdrew, Zhou Ji was already comfortably seated on the double cushioned seat, and he didn't even bow his hands when talking to Emperor Taixing.

"The old minister has made His Majesty suffer." Zhou Ji's attitude was very low, Emperor Taixing was unhappy and did not dare to vent his anger at the trembling Zhou Ji.

He forced a dry smile, "Where, at such an advanced age, the old grand master has to enter the palace because of the trivial matter between me and Shenlong and his son. I am tired of you."

Zhou Ji doesn't like Emperor Taixing, otherwise he wouldn't leave a mess and retire.

He hammered his legs slowly one after another, "Oh, there is no small matter in the Tian family, otherwise I, an old man who is dying, would not be shaken from the bed, and I have to follow the palace for this trip."

"The old minister does not want to reprimand His Majesty, but the Crown Prince has encountered many accidents and adventures before, what a rare thing! The courtiers have not had contact with His Highness a few times, and they inevitably feel that His Highness is strange, so they should pay more attention. His Highness has an accident. Afterwards, some people were arrested and sent to the House of the Minister of the Household Department, who dared to overstep his authority, and found Dali Temple, Tingwei's Mansion and Jingzhao in a hurry."

He looked at Emperor Taixing with almost pity, "Your Highness is young and doesn't know how to cover up. His Majesty doesn't know the reason and wants to cover up too much. So His Highness has been lying in the Chengqing Palace for the past few days, and His Majesty has never visited Prince, right? But the courtiers don’t think so, what His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince represent, His Majesty must know in his heart, they will only think that His Highness the Crown Prince has fallen out of favor.”

"Our old bones don't want to enter the palace to be annoying, but we don't come to persuade His Majesty. Your Majesty is still in Wenrouxiang and doesn't know anything. The longer it drags on, the more people will be misunderstood." Zhou Ji finally said the most important thing. A lethal sentence, "Did your majesty explain his intentions to the empress alone, or did the empress not know that your majesty didn't go to visit his highness, it's not because she didn't want to, but because she was afraid of side effects?"

Emperor Taixing turned pale, and even his lips trembled, "Will Yingniang misunderstand what I mean?"

This time, Zhou Ji sympathized with Emperor Taixing from the bottom of his heart, "Your Majesty is the husband of the empress, and His Highness is the only healthy son of the empress. If there is a conflict between father and son, I am afraid that the empress will suffer the most."

Emperor Taixing didn't want to be stubborn with his courtiers anymore, so he hurriedly greeted Meng Kai, "Quickly open my private treasury, no matter what kind of medicinal materials, pick ten best ones and put them in lacquer boxes, and send them with me."

Tai Xingfei took a whole study room of old ministers to Chengqing Palace to visit his sick.

"Why did the father come here?" Shenlong and Mu Huaiyuan sat in the pavilion in front of the Chengqing Hall, playing chess and waiting for the classics to come.

He heard the voice and looked over, and found that Emperor Taixing had brought all the old men over.

Shenlong immediately stopped the chess game, stood up and greeted, "Father is here, but my son has not greeted him, please punish Father."

Emperor Taixing had already learned Zhou Ji's lesson of making himself a joke in front of the imperial physician who knelt down and couldn't get up.Before Shenlong could bend down, he immediately went up to meet him, and said repeatedly: "The one who asked you to rest specially, why are you still saluting. Are you feeling better?"

Shenlong looked at Emperor Taixing in surprise, although he didn't understand why he suddenly spoke like Empress Cui, but he still looked at the face of a group of old officials who came with him, and answered obediently: "My son was just frightened, Difficulty falling asleep. The imperial physician has been here every day for the past few days to push the tendons and promote blood circulation for my son, and the fear in my heart is gone, so there is no discomfort."

Emperor Taixing still felt unhappy because of Shenlong's quarrel with him in the big study, and after a few words, he didn't know what to say.

He walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and stopped in front of the chessboard.

Shenlong followed, lowering his eyes and smiling lowly, "My son was lying down bored, so he simply got up and played a few games of chess to pass the time. His father laughed at him if he didn't play well."

"It's a good play." Emperor Taixing praised casually.

Emperor Taixing has been obsessed with female sex these years, and his elegant hobbies such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have long been abandoned, so he can only barely see the general idea.But in front of the old minister, he must praise his son, so he said a few words casually.

Emperor Taixing thought that he and Shenlong would be able to walk away if he and Shenlong acted like a father, son and filial piety. He didn't expect that when the courtiers heard that Shenlong played well, they all gathered around and looked carefully at the endgame on the chessboard. Observe.

On the chessboard, the two sides do not give in to each other. One side is like a giant dragon swallowing clouds and mist, controlling the overall situation, while the other side is like a tiger roaring in the forest, showing the king's momentum.

"Good chess!" Zhou Ji applauded on the spot.

In an instant, Emperor Taixing looked at Shenlong suspiciously.

——Shenlong has been stupid for so many years, how can Zhou Ji praise him for his excellence just after learning chess?

The author has something to say:

Shenlong: In order not to appear the word Shenlong on the chessboard, it is difficult for the author to die.

Mu Huaiyuan: Isn't it good? Both on and off the chessboard are playing Shenlong.

Thanks goodside for mine.
