The devil is coming

Chapter 794 Good job
Yanjing City;
palace;
Queen He sat alone in front of the dressing table, holding her face in her hands, her eyes red.
At this time,
The emperor, dressed in dragon robes, walked over quietly and waved to the maids in the room to leave quietly.
The figure of the man behind her was already revealed in the bronze mirror, but Queen He still didn't notice it. Her mind was not on looking in the mirror.
The emperor came forward;
He reached out and hugged the queen.
"Ouch."
The queen was startled, turned her head, stretched out her hand and lightly punched the emperor's chest.
"Queen, do you miss our son?"
"Concubine, how can you not think about it?"
"I want it too."
After all, it is his first child;
Moreover, I have also fought side by side with this father.
Although various signs later showed that the late emperor had arranged everything long ago;
But the heart of an emperor is unpredictable. Who can tell whether the late emperor was prepared?
The phrase "Good Saint Sun" is undoubtedly the most critical addition at the most critical moment.
In comparison, the emperor is lonely. Ji Chengjue is busy with government affairs every day. In fact, he has no time to train the two younger ones. The older one has grown up and can speak and communicate, so he can be kept by his side. He relieved his boredom in the name of "teaching" the prince.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to comfort me, I know the importance of things."
"Well, but I have to tell you some good news."
"What good news?"
"The latest battle report came from the front line. The man named Zheng won the battle, killed another Zhuguo of Chu people, and captured the general of Chu State alive."
"Really? That's great. It would be great if we win. It would be great if we win."
In the past, when the queen was still a butcher girl, she would be happy that Dayan won the battle. Now, she is naturally even happier, because it has changed from a state matter to a family matter.
And this time, if he wins the battle, his son will not have to face risks after going to Shandong.
unless……
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't ask these questions, but I am worried about my son. If Your Majesty finds it convenient to complain..."
"I don't know how to fight a national war. I guess it will end like this."
The emperor was such a smart man, how could he not guess what the queen wanted to ask.
The queen stretched out her hand to cover her chest,
Road:
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
Although there has always been a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, because He Sisi was born among the people and did not have so-called powerful relatives, as the mother of the country, the emperor was not afraid to let her know some state affairs, and sometimes he would take the initiative to chat with her.
"Didn't you see the expressions on the faces of the ministers in the imperial study? Haha, it was wonderful."
"Your Majesty, didn't they expect that Marquis Pingxi would win?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "It's not that they know Zheng's fighting ability, but maybe in their eyes, I asked Zheng to fight this battle."
"Don't you..."
Queen He almost blurted out.
But after all, she has been in the palace for many years, and now she is the queen. She has already experienced some aspects.
There are some things that the emperor is willing to tell himself, and he just wants to find someone to listen to them;
She can't express her opinions, let alone apply eye drops.
Especially, to that Marquis Zheng.
The emperor's expression did not change, and he said: "I have discussed a rough charter with him, and let him take care of it. The results this time were frightening, but the court did not feel any burden."
Queen He nodded and did not dare to speak any more.
"Although there was a battle to establish the power of the barbarian royal court, it was the legacy left by the emperor in the end. This time, the outside world thought it was my handiwork and thought that I knew about it in advance. Otherwise, how could I have heard about it so simply? Are you sending the prince to the east of Shanxi upon news of the war?
I believe that the man named Zheng is willing to take a gamble with him;
Now, I won the bet.
My father once told me that the way to be a king is to use checks and balances, which is really a small way;
As a king, you should hold the constitution of heaven in your mouth, follow the will of the emperor, drive the thunder and use it as a rein to run wildly.
The man named Zheng fought well and beautifully.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty should all understand that the emperor is gone, but he is actually still there. "
This involves the impact of the emperor's personal prestige on the emperor's real power. An emperor with absolute prestige does not need to play any checks and balances in the court, nor does he need to install his own confidants, because he can be unscrupulous.
The rules and regulations that ministers are accustomed to use to restrain the normal emperor have no effect at all on the truly established hero.
"The weather is nice today, and I am in a good mood. I have already asked Wei Zhonghe to prepare the carriage. Let's go outside the palace to relax."
"Your Majesty...isn't he busy today?"
Since the battle report from the front line has just come back, a great victory, the emperor should be very busy.
"There's no rush, let's dry them out first. Come on, Queen, come with me for a walk."
"The minister and concubine follow the order."
The carriage left the palace, but this time it didn't go anywhere that ordinary people couldn't get close to.
The emperor, who came out incognito, took the queen's hand and began to walk on the street.
All around, masters from the Secret Service were secretly protecting them. Eunuch Wei was even dressed as a slave from his hometown, following behind the emperor and the queen.
The streets were very lively. The most important thing was that the feeling of walking on the folk streets made Queen He feel like she was suddenly back to the leisurely time she had with her husband in Nan'an County.
At that time, my husband was not a prince, let alone an emperor, but Yan Xiaoliu, the arresting officer of Nan'an County.
At the moment, the two most distinguished people in Dayan Kingdom were shopping and eating snacks together, feeling quite at ease. When the palace and various yamen were agitated about military affairs, they seemed like real outsiders.
Group after group of ministers went to the imperial study to ask for an audience, but they were all stopped by Eunuch Zhang, who only said that His Majesty was resting and could not be disturbed.
Most of the ministers had impeached Pingxihou before. Now that Pingxihou has won the battle and achieved fruitful results, they will not think that they are wrong, because in their view, the essence of the matter is not just about the conflict between Jindong and Shanxi. During a battle in Chu Di.
Rather, it involves the stability of imperial power;
They couldn't change the era when the King of Jingnan and the King of the North existed side by side, but they tried hard to prevent the emergence of another two kings of the North and the South.
just,
The emperor's attitude was too decisive.
Simultaneously,
The battle against Ping Xihou was fought too quickly and too successfully!
It's not that these ministers don't want Dayan to win the war, but in this way, they who have impeached Pingxihou are handing over the evidence.
Of course it is impossible for the emperor to resign everyone, because more than half of the people here are motivated by public motives;
But the emperor can use this excuse to more easily pull out some carrots that he thinks can be used to vacate the pit, and directly carry out a purge, and on his side, there is simply no way to stop it, because it is already in the wrong, and most people, in Neither of us are clean in this matter, and there is no way we can help each other.
right now,
The emperor's avoidance actually made the meaning very clear.
I'll wait a little longer.
When you are more awake and prepared, then I can pull out the carrots.
This seems very contradictory to the above-mentioned emperor who can be unscrupulous without checks and balances, but in fact it is not.
Some ministers committed crimes, took bribes and bent the law for personal gain. The emperor could handle or not handle them according to his own needs. In short, it was easier to handle;
What really makes the emperor find it difficult to deal with is,
Some people are incorruptible, have a clean bottom, and have a good official reputation. Or they may be content just admiring the moon and stars every night. They have no higher pursuits or ambitions for official careers. However, they have poor abilities or political opinions. The emperor is not on the same path;
It is possible to simply replace this type of person, but it will inevitably lead to criticism and trouble, but now is a good opportunity.
"It's a pity that Zheng can't go back to Beijing twice a year. Sometimes, I really miss him. When I'm with him, talking, drinking tea, and chatting, I don't feel bored."
"Yes, I also feel that every time Mr. Zheng comes back to Beijing, you are very happy, but I am a little jealous of Mr. Zheng."
"Hahaha."
At this time, the two of them walked through a teahouse and happened to listen to the storyteller inside telling the story of Ping Xihou entering the palace of Qian Kingdom and the official family of Qian Kingdom, showing his magnanimous temperament without being humble or arrogant;
In the storyteller's story, Emperor Qian was annoyed by Lord Pingxi and secretly sent Baili Sword to harm Lord Pingxi. As a result, Lord Pingxi fought with Baili Sword at the top of the Forbidden City in Qianguo Palace. three hundred rounds;
In the end, Baili Jian sighed: Right now, I am only tied with you, but if you don't focus on leading troops to fight, you must be stronger than me.
In the past few years, as the reputation of Lord Pingxi has risen, even in the initial war with Lord Pingxi, the main halo was placed on him. Even during the first attack, even Li Fusheng In the story, he became a subordinate of Zheng Fan, who was just a small garrison general at that time, and acted according to the words of Lord Zheng.
There is no way, the common people like to listen to Ping Xihou's stories, it is down-to-earth and uplifting!
When the young men of Yan were playing with their friends, they were all vying to play the role of the Marquis of Pingxi, fighting wild people, fighting Gan people, fighting Jin people, fighting Chu people, and then marrying princesses. How heroic and real men should be.
The emperor did not take the queen to sit in the teahouse, but stood at the door, listening with a group of people who were reluctant to part with tea money and wanted to hear stories.
The emperor took out the peanuts he had in his pocket while shopping and gave half of them to the queen. He also began to peel them while listening, laughing with everyone inside from time to time.
Suddenly, a knight with colorful flags behind his back rode past on the street and shouted:
"The Marquis of Pingxi has a great victory, the Marquis of Pingxi has a great victory, kill the pillars of the Chu State, and capture the general of the Chu State alive!"
"The Marquis of Pingxi has a great victory, the Marquis of Pingxi has a great victory, kill the pillars of the Chu State, and capture the general of the Chu State alive!"
The imperial court had received the news a long time ago, and all the officials had known about it. After confirming that the news was correct, they made arrangements and made a situation where messengers rushed eight hundred miles to Beijing to report the victory. The people liked this kind of excitement. I am also used to the feeling of constant victory and success since the reign of the late emperor.
The storyteller in the teahouse, after listening to the shouts of the messengers outside, his face lit up for a moment!
These days, some storytellers no longer worship the Patriarch, but the Marquis Pingxi. After all, it is Marquis Pingxi whose many experiences have given them excellent story materials to continue making a living.
"Snapped!"
The storyteller clicked the gavel three times in succession to silence the noisy and joyful audience.
immediately,
The storyteller raised his hand and made a gesture,
He sang loudly and eloquently:
“There are ferocious tigers in the swallows, and their roars are all over the Central Plains; the goshawks in eastern Shanxi have eyes as deep as the sea!
Its claws bully the snowy plains, its beak pecks at Southern Chu, it overwhelms the three Jin Dynasties, and it looks down upon all the Xia!
God bless Dayan and give me the Marquis of Pingxi. Dayan will be prosperous, Dayan will be prosperous! ! ! "
"Dayan is in high spirits!"
"Dayan is in high spirits!"
In the teahouse and outside the teahouse, people shouted excitedly, which is enough to show how popular Pingxi Marquis is among the Yan people.
Especially after the two princes left Dayan one after another, the people urgently needed a new military god to protect them and help them continue to win external victories one after another.
do not know why,
The queen suddenly looked at her husband standing beside her with some worry.
But she saw her husband raising his arms and shouting,
shouted:
"Good work, enjoy!"
