Slowly opening the booklet, Gao Cheng's heart sank. Yuan Lang said that the old injury had recurred and he wanted to go to Jiangnan to recuperate. His hands tightened and loosened, and in the end he neither agreed nor disagreed, but just put the notebook into the hidden compartment under the case, and forced himself to calm down, and quickly picked up another memorial.

The flames of war have just been settled, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. Gaocheng has too many things to do, and it is really because of these endless political affairs that Gaocheng has nowhere to vent the anger that has been suppressed in his heart, and he can't find a place to vent.

In the court hall, Gao Cheng was sitting on a high dragon chair, and his eyes fell on the man standing beside his father from time to time. With a sideways head and a glance, Prime Minister Wu Zhe and mighty general Qi Huan will understandably rebut and suppress those remarks.

Gao Cheng likes to watch Yuan Lang at this time, although his confidantes, such as his father King Anping, General Huo Yu, Minister of Rites Shi Jin, Minister of Industry Wu Liuyi and others have privately said that Yuan Lang's approach is actually true. Controlling the court, but Gao Cheng doesn't mind Yuan Lang controlling the court at all. If Yuan Lang is willing, Gao Cheng would rather him be the king and he be the minister!

Today is a routine day for the Grand Court Meeting. After Gaocheng ascended the throne, although the daily court meeting was still in accordance with the old rules, the Grand Court Meeting was held in the Taiji Hall every two days. Usually, they were summoned individually in the Imperial Study Room. It was called the Xiaochaohui. The House of Internal Affairs issued a memorial, saying that the first year of filial piety was about to pass, and asked Emperor Wu Ding to agree to the House of Internal Affairs to select beauties from all over the world to fill the emperor's harem.

One year after Emperor Wu Ding ascended the throne, there was no one in the harem because of Emperor Shen's filial piety period. The eldest princess was also very worried about this. Once the filial piety period is over, they will wantonly distribute the feudal titles, queens, noble concubines, concubines, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauties... there must be one.

However, Gao Cheng was not in a hurry for this matter. Even when the Ministry of Internal Affairs said these things, his eyes seemed to linger on Yuan Lang's face, hoping to see something, but he also knew that Yuan Lang was careful. After ascending the throne, Yuan Lang took the initiative to distance himself from him, apparently because he didn't want to have those entanglements with him, but Gao Cheng was not reconciled, very unwilling, especially after he became emperor, although Yuan Lang gave the throne, he sat on this seat. After such a long time, he was even more unwilling. Although his father King Anping and his old minister Wang Qingrui now have power in their hands, but because Yuan Lang deliberately handed over the power in his hands to Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng, King Anping, and Wang Qingrui are also fighting against each other. Even if no one said it clearly, Gao Cheng also knew that Yuan Lang was helping him secretly, but he would rather help him than say anything other than being a monarch and minister, how could he be reconciled.

Gao Cheng listened to the advice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he used the excuse that it was inappropriate to start preparations for the beauty pageant when the filial piety period was not over, and gently dismissed it.

But two days later at the Great Court Meeting, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought it up again, and then presented one after another, with fierce words. From the ancestors to Liming, the people seemed to expect Emperor Wu Ding to choose a beauty. Gao Cheng is so smart that the government does not give in to him, and he knows the whole story with just a little thought.

Now the former ministers of Emperor Shen, such as Wang Qingrui, Miao Jilin, Shi Chengyu, Wu Huan, etc., although they have sons in the court or as officials and generals in the frontier, their power is simply vulnerable compared to Yuan Lang, so there is a method of in-laws, as long as they The harem in Gaocheng is mostly the daughters of former ministers, and the harem echoes the vestibule, so what if Yuan Lang is arrogant?After all, Yuan Lang's subordinates are all young people, and most of them are orphans, and few have girls, let alone daughters, who are too late to live now, this is the old fox's calculation.

As for King Anping's faction, many distant relatives of the former Gao family, cousins, and even cousins ​​and nieces of similar age were sent to the capital, making Gao Cheng frown.

Here, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is submitting memorials one after another. Gao Cheng’s heart is getting more and more impatient every day, as if he has been caught by a cat, especially seeing Yuan Lang’s indifference to every proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even Qi Huan and Wu Zhe. Keeping his composure, Gaocheng was furious at the end, and couldn't help scolding the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the court meeting for wanting to have a big beauty pageant before the filial piety period, whether he wanted to trap him in a situation of injustice, this kind of heartbreaking words finally Temporarily suppress the desire of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a group of ministers to send their daughters into the palace. Anyway, there are only three months left.

But Gao Cheng was furious in his heart, he came down from the court meeting, walked back and forth in Zhaoren Hall for a few times, finally couldn't bear it, called Fu Ji over, and asked him to deliver a decree to King Yun's mansion, inviting King Yun to the palace to have an audience.

Yuan Lang stood outside the Hall of Zhaoren and hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door and went in. This was the first time he had an audience alone after Gaocheng ascended the throne. In the past, even Xie En was a group of people who came and walked together. Yuan Lang subconsciously did not want to meet Gaocheng alone .However, Gaocheng summoned him today, making it inevitable for Yuan Lang to avoid it.

"Yuan Lang, king of minister cloud, kowtows to the emperor! Long live my emperor!" Yuan Lang knelt in the middle of Zhaoren Hall. Because it was winter, the windows were not open, and the light in the room was dim. Yuan Lang looked down at the ground in front of him, not Look up at Goseong.

"Prince Yun flattened his body, please sit down!" Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and responded calmly.

After Yuan Lang sat down, Fu Ji brought tea to Yuan Lang, then took everyone in the hall away, closed the heavy hall door, only Gao Cheng and Yuan Lang were left in the room.

Gao Cheng looked at the person in front of him almost greedily. It had been a long time since he had seen this person so close. He pushed him to the highest throne, but he also put shackles on him, pushing the distance between the two of them. It was Gao Cheng who met him. Fortunately, but also his misfortune.After dreaming back at midnight, Gao Cheng suddenly woke up on the strange dragon bed many times. Even though the charcoal fire was hot, even if the curtains were layered, and even if the brocade quilt was thick, he still felt cold. He wanted to have a warm body beside him to resist the cold together. But when he drew the essence of that body, that wanton and arrogant man appeared so deeply, he missed him, he wanted him!

Yuan Lang took a sip of tea, raised his head, with a calm and respectful face: "The emperor summoned his subjects to enter the palace, why?"

"Thinking..." Gao Cheng suddenly bit his tongue, and transformed the blurted "missing you" into: "I want to hear King Yun's thoughts on the recent news about the beauty pageant filling the harem that was played by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Yuan Lang lowered his head and pondered for a while, raised his head with a distant smile on his lips, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, it is the emperor's duty to fill the harem and prolong the succession of heirs. I think that although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is eager to go to the beauty pageant at this time, it is not wrong. It's outrageous, after all, beauty pageants require too much preparation, and it takes more than a month to announce to the world, and then there are layers of selections, and it will be three or four months before the beauties selected by the state capital arrive in the capital. ,so……"

"So, King Yun also thinks that I should spread the word that beauties from all over the world will fill the harem and extend the heirs?" Gao Cheng interrupted Yuan Lang, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the air of a king suddenly appeared.The case covered Gao Cheng's clenched hands. Before Yuan Lang came in, he had already thought that he would say these words. Gao Cheng even thought that if he said these words, how would he scold him? It was like this and that on the imperial book case in Zhaoren Hall, but when he saw Yuan Lang bowed his head slightly and said "Yes!" softly, all the strength in his body seemed to be exhausted in an instant. They all gathered together in an instant.

The silence in the hall made people uneasy. Yuan Lang wanted to raise his head to look at Gao Cheng several times, but restrained himself from looking or thinking about it. He could feel Gao Cheng staring at him. That kind of gaze was as real as it seemed to be able to penetrate him. generally.

After a long time, Gao Cheng said in a cold voice: "King Yun, kneel down, I... I'm tired!"

Yuan Lang hurriedly thanked him and left. After leaving Zhaoren Hall, he felt a coldness on his back. At some point, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.After walking a few steps, someone behind him suddenly called: "His Royal Highness, stay behind!"

Yuan Lang looked back, but saw Fudge running over with a bundle in his hand, opened the bundle, took out a black fur cloak, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the emperor said that it is cold and windy, please wear it to keep out the wind and cold." !"

Yuan Lang took the cloak, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only express his thanks, and took out a gold cloak from his purse and put it in Fuji's hand. Fuji just waved his hand, but Yuan Lang insisted on giving it, and finally took it. Finished.

Back in the main hall, Gao Cheng was still grading papers, and when he saw Fu Ji, he asked without raising his head, "What did King Yun say?"

Fuji put the golden scorpion in his hand on the imperial book table, bowed and said, "King Yun rewards the servant!"

Gao Cheng raised his head, picked up the gold key to play with his fingertips, it was a delicate little thing with a gourd shape in the middle, it really looked like the luxurious habit that Yuan Lang always liked, Gao Cheng smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, looked up at Fudge said: "You go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a golden key, I keep this one!"

The author has something to say:

In fact, I didn't intend to make Gaocheng enthroned so easily, but it took a long time to stop, and I lost my feeling, so I can only rewrite it from the enthronement!
