Prince Regent's Concubine

Xiao Chuyi knew that the news was in the court, and someone read his book, saying that he let the courtiers openly bribe him when he was the regent, and said that he disregarded human life, took people's names if he was careless, and that the emperor was in power, It is really disrespectful for him to pretend to be the regent.

That's why the common people have a lot of discussions, and they have a lot of dissatisfaction with him.

In fact, it is a bit embarrassing to say this matter in public, after all, God is not so free, and punishing a person is to let him not do it.

The reason for the Prince Regent's refusal is obviously related to his leg, and this leg also involves the emperor and the queen mother, and it was these two who disabled him.Of course, the title of Prince Regent is also reserved by the emperor. People originally wanted to stay away from the court and did not come to the court.

Bringing this matter up now is not to blame Xiao Chuyi, but to blame the emperor. The regent has been in charge of the government for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. Well, it was already miserable enough, and the streets were full of rumors, and now others are using this matter to accuse him.

Xiao Chuyi didn't react much when he heard that, no, he said it himself, and the title of Prince Regent is also dispensable to him, he also had a title originally, the late emperor once named him Prince Yi.

On the contrary, it was the emperor who turned his eyes to Xiao Chuyi frequently, but Xiao Chuyi was wearing a mask and didn't speak, he didn't know if Xiao Chuyi was angry or not.

But the emperor was at fault for this matter, even if Xiao Chuyi didn't respond, he still had to deal with it.

As a result of the disposal, those who participated in him were severely reprimanded, calling him nonsense, and justifying Xiao Chuyi's name, saying that he did this and that for the country and the people during the regency, and he never took bribes , let alone being disrespectful to the emperor.As for disregarding human life, it's even easier to say that his uncle killed only those who deserved to be killed, and he never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

The courtier who participated in Xiao Chuyi was a neutral faction, he had nothing to do with anything, and what he said was really not smart, and no one stood up to speak for him, so he was not only scolded, but also fined more than a year's salary. Be an example.

After the court was over, the emperor asked Zhou Qi to call Xiao Chuyi to the study.

Before Xiao Chuyi could salute, the emperor said apologetically, "Uncle, this is my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to take medicine in order to reduce the empress' suspicion, and I didn't know that the medicine would affect the emperor. Uncle you... that place."

The emperor mentioned it with embarrassment on his face, "Uncle, our great cause has not been accomplished, and the queen mother has been staring at us, so this antidote can't be given to the emperor for the time being, and the emperor can bear it any longer. Just give the emperor the antidote."

Xiao Chuyi nodded, but didn't take these words to heart. After all, who knows when the great cause will be accomplished?

Seeing that his reaction was flat, the emperor seemed even more guilty, "Isn't there a miracle doctor in your house, emperor uncle? Did emperor uncle ask him to see it? Can he help emperor uncle..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyi interrupted, "I didn't let him see it, and I won't let him see it until the great cause is accomplished."

These words were a bit choking, but luckily, the emperor didn't take it seriously, and said: "Uncle Huang, thank you for your protection, nephew."

"This is what the minister should do." Xiao Chuyi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and instead talked about the selection of concubines, "Has the emperor received a letter from the mother?"

The day when the women of each family officially entered the palace to choose concubines is still undecided, because the matter that close relatives within the three clans are not allowed to intermarry has not yet been decided, and the royal relatives are still struggling.

As for their powerful backup, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to remain silent.

The emperor nodded, "Got it, the empress mother told me in the letter not to mess around and not to offend too many people, and also said that if I don't want to choose so many cousins ​​into the palace, I can choose two I like, as long as I choose someone for them Just leave hope."

Xiao Chuyi thought, this should be a letter sent after receiving the news at first, and the latter ones are either in the hands of other people, or they haven't arrived yet on the way.

"Then what does the emperor think?"

"Of course I don't agree. Inbreeding is not only dangerous for the heirs, but also for the relatives. These people are already related to the royal family, and their status is respected. If they are allowed to fulfill their wish, then the court will definitely be full of their people." , The top and bottom want to work together, chaotically exceed the guidelines, mess up the place, make the people uneasy, and the people have a hard time. For the power and interests in their hands, they will do anything."

"There is also military power. Who knows what they will do after holding the military power. These people are too ambitious. I have to let it go. The only one who is really good to me in this world is the emperor. I don't believe in anyone else!"

"The emperor has grown up," Xiao Chuyi boasted after hearing this.

But this compliment to the emperor was not satisfied, "The emperor's uncle can only say this one sentence over and over again, can't the emperor's uncle praise his nephew with other words?" The words sounded like coquettish, and the appearance was also well-behaved.

"Your Majesty is so smart that he even thought about his relatives. With such a heart, the Emperor will surely be able to govern the Great Chu and give the people a peaceful and prosperous world." After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuyi looked at the Emperor, as if he was asking, so satisfied Yet?

"These words are much more pleasing to the ear. The emperor will praise me more in the future, so that I will have confidence. With the emperor around, I will not be afraid of making mistakes."

Xiao Chuyi nodded in agreement, and when he saw that there was nothing else to do, he planned to resign and leave the palace.

The emperor kept someone for him to have lunch in the palace. The reason was that he was alone in the palace and the food was not delicious, so he wanted the emperor's uncle to accompany him.

This was probably to make up for the fact that the legs could not be lifted after being given medicine. Xiao Chuyi agreed, and then sent someone back to the Prince Regent's Mansion to talk to the princess. For this reason, the emperor even laughed at him. Same.

Even inquired about the difference between getting along with men and women.

Xiao Chuyi happened to mention to him about the empress dowager's gift, "The emperor's sister-in-law sent five women to the palace, asked the minister to keep two, and presented three to the emperor. The people who served her were all men. , I think they have been trained, and they will be sent to the palace together at that time, the emperor can see the difference."

Although the south wind of Great Chu is not prevalent, it is not forbidden, and there are many men in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

When the emperor's age is up, the palace people will teach these things. Although women are the main ones, this kind of thing is common to both men and women, and they will understand without teaching.

When the emperor heard Xiao Chuyi's words, his expression was a bit strange, "Uncle emperor, are you not afraid of people scolding you for having ulterior motives and making people go crazy?"

"People are not sent by ministers, ministers only send them on behalf of the queen mother," Xiao Chuyi replied truthfully.

"Uncle Huang, you don't mean to send all five of them into the palace, along with the men who waited on them?" The emperor turned pale and resisted.

Xiao Chuyi spoke uprightly, "I don't want to raise them, I can't bear them to stay alone in the vacant house," so it's useless to keep them, it's better to all enter the palace.

The emperor stared at Xiao Chuyi, his eyes full of inquiry, "Uncle Emperor, I always think it's too coincidental that you didn't raise it. Could it be that this is your real purpose?"
