[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Chapter 26 The Night Comes

In the early morning, when the sky was still dark, Zhaoyang opened her eyes on time, which was a habit she developed when she was a petty official.Staring at the top of the bed for a while, after calculating that the Si Qius are probably on their way, Zhaoyang sat up.Today is her first day in court, and she can't tell what kind of feeling she feels in her heart, neither fear nor excitement.I always feel that after accepting Jade Throne, this has become a matter of course.

Not long after, the Si Qius came in knocking on the door with their clothes in their hands. Seeing that Zhaoyang was already up, they shook off the clothes and put them on for Zhaoyang after prostrating, and then waited for Zhaoyang to sit in front of the dressing table.

The leader, Si Qiu Qinglu, brushed Zhaoyang's ink-like long hair and said, "My lord, why did you wake up so early?"

Even if Zhaoyang woke up two days ago, she would lie on the bed and pretend to sleep until they came to wake her up. Zhaoyang looked at Qinglu in the mirror and said, "I used to be a small official in Xuanying Palace, and I'm used to getting up early. , Since I couldn’t sleep, I woke up.”

"It turned out to be like this." Qinglu picked out a few plain hairpins and stuck them on Zhaoyang's bun: "My lord, is this good?"

Qinglu's vision is actually very good. Zhaoyang is more suitable for elegant makeup, which makes her look more temperamental, but she looks too weak. Zhaoyang pointed to the other hairpins on the dressing table that looked more gorgeous: "use Those few ones, I couldn’t use them before, but now I can use them, it’s always fun.”

Qinglu didn't say anything, and straightened Zhaoyang's hair again.Just like that, Zhaoyang, wearing a shining hair ornament and a heavy Chinese dress, walked towards the jade throne step by step under the prostration of everyone.

After choosing a comfortable position and sitting down, Zhaoyang said lazily, "Get up." All the officials were kneeling and sitting under the jade seat, and there was some distance from the jade seat. He looks like he is queuing up people, and he still speaks with breath, and he is not too tired to panic.

Zhongzai Changyi raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Zhaoyang sitting on the jade throne in an extremely lazy posture, without the majesty that a king should have at all.On the other hand, Taifu is straight, standing like a pine and cypress.Zukazai sighed slightly, not knowing whether this king was a blessing or a curse to Liu.Leave everything to him without saying anything, and hand over all the joint rights.

Although some kings would get bored with political affairs after a period of time, they dealt with it seriously for a few days, but Zhaoyang didn't even want to try, either staying in the room all day, or leading a group of People wander around the palace to see the scenery.He begged to meet Zhaoyang in private, but Zhaoyang only asked the female officer to say "Zai Zuka will not let me down" which sounded very perfunctory.

Later, Changyi asked He Su, the Grand Tutor who had met Zhaoyang, and He Su said lightly, "It's fine if there is a king on the Yuzuo, as long as it's not for execution, it doesn't matter if you are a little fatuous and incompetent." in it.

It is true that the king is fatuous and incompetent, and ignores court affairs, but as long as he does not do excessive things and the country does not have too many problems, the sky will not punish him.But Changyi hoped that Liu would have a good king who would lead them to a prosperous and prosperous world, instead of holding on like this and stagnating at the same place.

This may also be the reason why he and He Su have worked together for so many years, but they are still just casual acquaintances.Different road non-phase plan.If he is an idealist, He Su is a realist.If Liu Wang is capable, he will pursue him, if he is cruel, he will kill him, and if he is incompetent, he will let him go.He would not have agreed to that matter if it hadn't come at a critical moment.

The appearance of Taifu, he would not advise the king, and with He Su's temperament, he would probably just watch from the sidelines, and he could not criticize the king in public, so he had to turn a blind eye: "My lord, the abuse of the death penalty , I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible."

"I don't know what advice you guys have?" Zhaoyang threw the question back.

"In my opinion, the original law still needs to be amended." Changyi expected Zhaoyang to ask such a question, and made preparations early in the morning.

"En?" Zhaoyang signaled Zukazai to continue talking.

However, at this moment, Grand Tutor He Su interrupted in a loud voice: "In my opinion, it is better to make the 'killer a felony' as the first pardon, and add Dabi to the punishment."

As the voice fell, everyone present was shocked. It is true that the effect of the first amnesty is much better than other methods, but the first amnesty is the king's plan for the future of his country, and it is the king's own will.Tai Tu must be a bit too courageous.Chang Yi didn't even dare to think about this method.

Of course, there were also people who were dissatisfied with He Su's actions. Chief Si Kou Yuanya immediately retorted: "I object, my lord, how can you trust a person who has the heart of treason?"

"I'm afraid Da Sikou said this out of selfishness." He Su said flatly, "I am loyal to the lord."

"I can have any selfish intentions, I'm just talking about the facts." Yuan Ya wanted to continue saying that the death penalty must never be used, but was interrupted by He Su.

"For example, revenge for killing your father."

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on the ground. When did the Tai Tuo become so straightforward, and this kind of thing was directly brought to the surface.Zhaoyang lifted his eyelids and looked at He Su, who happened to meet He Su's eyes, those dark eyes seemed to say 'I learned from you'.

If it wasn't for still sitting on the jade throne, Zhao Yang really wanted to clap his hands and say, "Well done." Anyway, coercion has become a fact in the hearts of everyone, and what He Su said is useless, so he just admitted it openly, One is to explain that Yuan Ya slandered him because of his personal hatred, the other is to pretend to express his loyalty to Zhaoyang, and the third is to warn him. Since he can turn against the previous King Liu, he can also turn against Zhaoyang. You can't do anything to him, even if you want to dismiss him as an official, you have to come up with a legitimate reason. He is forcing his position, but he didn't raise his troops. He can be said to be persuading him to quit.

Yuan Ya was stepped on the painful spot, her face was red and her ears were red: "San Gong is just a notarization, what the Tai Tuo did seems to have involved politics."

Sangong is Wang's mentor and belongs to Taifu.They can give advice but cannot be directly involved in politics, which means they have no real power.The court meeting takes 7 days as a cycle. The first six days are presided over by the six officials in turn, and the seventh day is presided over by Zuka Zai, and the three princes are present as notaries.

"Since that's the case, may I ask Da Si Kou what he thinks?"

"My lord, Dabi must not be used. We should educate the criminals and give them a chance." Yuan Ya turned her head and said to Zhaoyang.

He Su snorted coldly: "Even if there is an example of failure, will Da Sikou continue to use the previous system?"

"That's just an exception."

"Da Sikou, you also mentioned an exception. How can you guarantee that there will be no exceptions in the future? Do you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

"As long as they are well educated, they will definitely be able to..." Yuan Ya was interrupted before she finished speaking, but this time it was Zhaoyang.

"Okay, stop arguing. If the Taifu and Da Sikou have any ideas, let's discuss in private. In the end, Zuka Zai will make the decision." Zhaoyang rubbed his temples: "Zu Zuka, if it is decided to use the first pardon, a draft will be drawn up. , I will affix the imperial seal."

"Is there anything else important?" Zhaoyang's tone showed some impatience, and all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and fell silent.

Zhaoyang glanced around, and then said: "Everyone has nothing to say, so let me say it. From now on, all court meetings will be changed to once every three days." As soon as he finished speaking, there was "Master, Wan Impossible" came the voice.Even Liu Qi, who had been quiet all this time, said, "My lord, it's not right to do this."

Zhaoyang waved his hand, signaling to Liu Qi to be safe and not to be impatient: "As a big country for 500 years, the geese have implemented a dynasty for three days. As a neighboring country, shouldn't we learn from it?"

But Yan Wang is different!These words came out of the minds of the people sitting there very tacitly.Just when they were thinking this way, Zhaoyang's tone changed: "Still, you think I'm not as good as King Yan!"

Who dared to say no, all of a sudden quiet down.Seeing that there was no objection, Zhaoyang continued: "All submissions are handed over to Zai Zuo, and Zai Zuo will bring up any matters that must be approved by me." She paused, and then added, "The Grand Tutor supervises the administration. "After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

After Zhaoyang left, there was an uproar in the main hall.

"It's okay for the king to ignore political affairs, why doesn't he even go to the court meeting?"

"That's right, there's no reason for the Taifu to supervise the administration."

Chang Yi shook his head, sighed, and left without saying anything.He Su followed suit with his usual expression.

She is not worthy to be a king at all, Yuan Ya clenched her fists, took a deep breath and left.

Zhaoyang went straight back to the palace after he came down to court, Liu Qi followed him all the time, and after the female officer retreated and closed the door, Zhaoyang said to Liu Qi: "Liu Qi, trust me more." She knew Liu Qi There must be a lot of questions, but she doesn't know how to explain, she can't tell the whole of her plan.After thinking about it, that's all I can say.

Liu Qi looked at Zhaoyang, swallowed the words again, and lowered his head meekly.

Changyi is Yingli's mentor, so Zhaoyang believes that no matter what, Zhongzai will not turn against the sky, and it is precisely because of this that she can trust everything to Zhongzai.Although she has studied with Shang Long for a while, she is still unfamiliar with many things. She may be able to propose a general plan, but many things will not be considered carefully.Zhaoyang felt that he was restraining Zhong Zai instead, so it is better to delegate power to him, he will do better than now, and she can also take this opportunity to learn everything she needs to learn.And the most important thing for her right now is to find out the person who wants to kill her.

She must not let this cancer take root in Liu Guo.

Inside Xuanying Palace

"As far as I know, King Liu took you as an example and resolutely changed the court meeting to once every three days." It is not surprising that Zhu Heng has his own informant.

The sixth wife gnawed on the peach and said, "A role model! I think it's a shield."

Shang Long laughed "haha": "As expected, I taught it."

"Speaking of which, is it almost time for the enthronement ceremony?" Sixth Madam asked.

"In three days, we will meet again soon." Shang Long replied, "Maybe I haven't seen Yoko for a long time."
