The Supreme Emperor was raised in the palace for a few months, probably because he didn't bother to worry about it, he really recovered a bit, and his spirit improved a lot, so after returning to the palace, he felt that the Supreme Emperor was already well, so he couldn't help but start to meddle in political affairs again. Even seeing that what the new emperor did was not in line with his own mind, he often reprimanded him a few words.
At first, Zhou Yan endured it because the Supreme Emperor was his own father, but within two months, Zhou Yan couldn't bear it anymore. He is now the emperor, not the prince, and the Supreme Emperor scolded him in front of everyone, not only lost His face hurts his prestige even more.
Zhou Yan has already clearly felt that since his father came back, the old officials under him have obviously become less obedient. Even sometimes when he punished some old officials, those old officials would go to the Supreme Emperor and cry and complain, but the Supreme Emperor usually turned major issues into small ones, and finally let it go.
After being reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor again, Zhou Yan finally couldn't bear it and announced Lin Qing into the palace.
Lin Qing was sitting at the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard Zhou Yan pronouncing him, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, asked Xu Sheng to report his whereabouts to Shen Ru, and hurried into the palace with the eunuch.
After entering the palace, he realized that the place where Zhou Yan saw him was not the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but a pavilion in the center of the lotus pond in the Royal Garden.
Lin Qing stepped forward, saluted Zhou Yan, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty Xuanchen?"
Zhou Yan waved to the surroundings, and the eunuchs and maids around saluted, then stepped back, and then said to Lin Qing, "Sit down and talk."
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Qing sat down next to Zhou Yan, and said with a smile, "I thought His Majesty was looking for something urgent, but I didn't expect that I was looking for my minister to watch the garden with me."
"Mr. was joking. It was because I felt uncomfortable and wanted to talk to him, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony was not safe, so I invited him here." Zhou Yan said helplessly.
Lin Qing was startled when she heard this, and looked around. Since this pavilion is in the middle of the lotus pond, there is only one stone bridge leading to the outside. Inside, as long as you don't speak loudly, you can indeed prevent others from eavesdropping, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the emperor lives. Even in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhou Yan could not guarantee that his words would not be spread. This ability is a big problem.
Lin Qing frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, how could this be?"
"The day before yesterday, I gave Yang Daban an order in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At that time, there were only me and Daban in the hall. As a result, my father called Yang Daban yesterday, and beat Daban 20 times. Now he still can't get out of bed." Zhou Yan said lightly, but there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
Lin Qing thought, no wonder Zhou Yan didn't see Yang Yun serving him today. It turned out that he was injured. Zhou Yan was served by Yang Yun since he was a child. It may not be much lighter than the Taishanghuang, a father who can't see every day, and now the Taishanghuang's beating, I'm afraid it really makes Zhou Yan feel cold, after all, beating a dog depends on the owner.
Zhou Yan gave a wry smile and said: "Yesterday, my father also reprimanded me for favoring and trusting the eunuch, and wanted to kill Yang Daban. If I hadn't begged for mercy, Daban would have almost died. To Emperor Father, Daban is just a eunuch." , but for me, he watched me grow up from a young age."
Lin Qing said: "I understand His Majesty's intentions. Yang Yun has been by His Majesty's side all these years and is loyal to His Majesty. If others don't know who Yang Yun is, how can I not know. Yang Yun's heart is on His Majesty." , definitely not the kind of villain who bullies others."
Zhou Yan was relieved to hear this and said: "I can tell my husband about this. If I tell other people in the court, I will definitely be advised not to favor eunuchs. I wish I would kill Yang Daban immediately to please my father."
Lin Qing shook his head and said: "Eunuchs are also human beings, there are good and bad, how can we generalize, as to whether it will endanger the government, it actually depends on the monarch, if you are a monarch, you will be confused by the eunuch, that can only explain this. The monarch is not good enough to distinguish right from wrong. Even if there is no eunuch, there will be another eunuch or next courtier. In fact, the result is the same.
Therefore, if a monarch wants to become a wise monarch, it has nothing to do with whether there are treacherous ministers around him, but whether he can see clearly. For the treacherous ministers, if the monarch wants to use them, is it possible that someone dares to force them? "
"What sir said is true," Zhou Yan nodded, then sighed and said, "It would be great if the ministers in the court were as sensible as sir."
Lin Qing listened, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is serious. In fact, the ministers in the court may not understand this truth. It's just that since ancient times, the monarch either used courtiers to suppress eunuchs, or used eunuchs to suppress powerful officials. Courtiers and eunuchs have some conflicts." , Does Your Majesty think that the courtiers will say good things for their opponents?"
Zhou Yan sighed and said, "Yes, this is the crux."
&nbsAfter calming down, I had a chat with the Queen Mother, and then went back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue reviewing papers.
After Zhou Yan left, Empress Dowager Yang said to the old eunuch next to her, "Uncle Yang!"
The old eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty."
Empress Dowager Yang said lightly: "Take someone to visit the harem yourself, and pick some stunning beauties. Remember, you must volunteer to bring them to the palace."
"Yes" the old eunuch replied.
"Go and call the Nanny Cheng from Huanyiyuan. I remember that she was the nanny brought into the palace by the demon concubine Qin. After the demon concubine Qin was stabbed to death, she was punished and sent to Huanyi. Yiyuan, go and see if she is still alive, if she is alive, let her come and lick the selected beauties." Queen Mother Yang said lightly.
When the old eunuch heard this, he was stunned. The demon concubine Qin is a taboo in the palace. When Qin entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor alone. After falling out of favor, the Supreme Emperor was almost obsessed with her. Later, several dignitaries in the palace couldn't bear it anymore, and they joined hands to finally find out that Qin's ability to seduce her, and sued the Supreme Emperor. Excessively, the body was deficient and fell ill. After hearing the imperial doctor's diagnosis, the Supreme Emperor ordered Qin's death in a fit of anger.
However, the old eunuch still responded: "Yes, ma'am!" Then he went down to select candidates.
Empress Dowager Yang looked at a golden chrysanthemum on the right, touched the best one on it with her hand, and murmured: "Food is also color, but there is a knife on the head of color!"
Pa, the flower that bloomed the best was broken suddenly in the hands of Empress Dowager Yang and fell to the ground! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
