Red makeup against the world

Chapter 480 Zhan Shifu

Emperor Qinglong saw the reaction of the four people below. These four people were all important officials in the court. If they objected, this matter would not succeed.

Therefore, he intentionally brought up the topic at the end.

Zhu Zihou is wise and wise and will not express his position; Hao Mingyu and Xu Yuan are capable ministers and do not want to get involved in this matter; the only person who may object is Guan Jinghuan.But he agreed to his proposal about the prince, and he dared not disagree at this time.

Speaking of Emperor Qinglong being the lord of the world, the common people always felt that the emperor was superior and that he should get what he wanted.How could he know the suffering of the emperor, the emperor still needed such a lot of scheming.

Even if the monarchy is granted by heaven, the emperor alone cannot manage this country no matter what.It takes civil servants and military generals, and all the hearts of the people, in order to govern this prosperous and prosperous world.

Emperor Qinglong wanted to be a wise emperor who would last forever, so he couldn't ignore the opinions of his ministers.

The imperial decree is not decided by the emperor.

The power to draft and formulate imperial edicts rests with Zhongshu Province, which is why Emperor Qinglong must agree with Guan Jinghuan.After the draft is completed, it will be submitted to the emperor for affixing the jade seal, then to the Menxia Province for review and seal, and finally to the Minister of Shangshu for execution.

This set of procedures is indispensable, and it is an effective imperial decree recognized by the courtiers.

Of course, the emperor's family affairs, such as the harem canonization of concubines below the fourth concubine, rewarding courtiers, rewarding titles, etc. that have nothing to do with political affairs, can be directly issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The money involved was also paid directly from the emperor's small treasury.

Guan Jinghuan's heart was in pain, he had just won the opportunity for the crown prince to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

In this way, not only can he get away from the crisis of abolishing the crown prince, but he can also get rid of the three-month foot ban by the way.Inspecting the disaster area on behalf of the emperor is the first step to enter the officialdom. With my assistance, as long as the prince can go smoothly without any troubles, he can invite him to watch the government after he returns.

Such a strategy of killing three birds with one stone, since the emperor has already agreed, there is no reason to let it go.

However, since ancient times, only the prince has the East Palace, and it has not been heard that other princes can set up Zhan Shifu.

This means that the power that King Qi possesses is only one line lower than that of the crown prince.From now on, King Qi can form his own team in an upright manner, including staff, military generals, Qing Ke, and personal guards. This means that there is an additional interest group in the court centered on King Qi.As for the crown prince, he could no longer criticize King Qi on the grounds that he was a member of the private support team.

There are countless thoughts in his mind, and there are countless reasons to persuade and oppose this matter.But if he said that the prince's crime and meritorious deeds, he might be severely discounted.

The words moved around his lips a few times, but he couldn't speak.There was obviously an ice basin in the imperial study room, and the temperature was cool and pleasant, but he was sweating all over his face and couldn't make up his mind.

Emperor Qinglong waited patiently for a while without urging.

Picking up the teacup at hand, took a sip slowly, and then slowly said: "What? Guan Aiqing has other ideas?"

Guan Jinghuan was struck by lightning, knowing that Emperor Qinglong would not leave him too much time to think about the trade-offs, he gritted his teeth and said, "I dare not, I will order Zhongshusheren to draw up an order when I go back."

Zhu Zihou raised his eyelids and thought: Guan Jinghuan still gave in.What is the emperor thinking in his heart?While letting the prince go, while strengthening the power of King Qi, is it a horse racing system?In this way, isn't the storage position undecided?
Thinking of this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly stopped his thoughts.Don't think about it, don't think about it, I am already half buried in the loess, why bother to meddle in this nosy matter?No matter who will ascend the throne in the future, it is good for me to go back to my hometown with peace of mind and be a farmer.

……

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Guan Jinghuan took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and walked towards Zhongshu Province.Hao Mingyu and Xu Yuan didn't want to touch his bad luck, and then talked about the resettlement of the flood disaster, leaving them far behind.

Zhu Zihou was the most detached, walking forward slowly, surrounded by the maids sent by the emperor to wait on him out of the palace.

Turning around the corner, turning right is the way out of the palace, but the queen's guard of honor is coming in front of her.

Empress Cao wore a tall phoenix crown and a queen dress, followed by eight big court ladies holding jade pots, feather fans, palace lanterns, and incense burners, and then four young eunuchs.A group of more than ten people came in a mighty manner.

The few people were startled, and hurriedly avoided to the side to pay respects. Empress Cao only nodded slightly to them, and then walked towards the imperial study.

Zhu Zihou murmured in his heart, Empress Cao seldom gets involved in politics, how could she come to the imperial study at this time?Still wearing a queen dress, so cautious.Is it for the prince?In a blink of an eye, he denied this idea again, Empress Cao was not so stupid.

……

Hearing Empress Cao's request for an audience, Emperor Qinglong was surprised, put down the memorial at hand, and said, "Quickly declare."

Empress Cao walked slowly into the room, and said politely: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

Emperor Qinglong smiled slightly, got up from the dragon chair, helped her up with his own hands, and said, "Hua Ying, please get up quickly. What are you doing here on such a hot day?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are here to plead for the sisters. The Yellow River broke its embankment, three states were hit by disasters, and the refugees all went to the capital. The people are suffering, how can we enjoy wealth and glory in peace?"

"The sisters have discussed that starting today, the daily expenses will be reduced by half, and the money saved will be donated to the flood-stricken areas to do my best."

"How can it be done?" Emperor Qinglong objected, "You are a queen, and you are the mother of the world. Could it be that the whole Gaomang can't afford you?"

Empress Cao looked at him tenderly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, and this concubine can't bear it. You can allow this concubine to share your worries for you, okay?" affection.

Emperor Qinglong was moved, held her right hand, and said: "Okay, I promise you. But where is the queen mother?"

Empress Cao smiled mischievously, and said: "The emperor must keep it a secret for me, and not let the queen mother know. The concubines are reluctant to let the queen mother suffer together."

……

The sweltering day is finally coming to an end, and the sun is setting.People poured water on the ground, a burst of hot air evaporated, and the heat was released into the air, hoping to have a cool summer night.

But they were doomed to be disappointed. The sweltering air did not disappear with the setting sun, but became even hotter.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhuang kept An Guogong and Shi Jingze, and served sour plum soup to relieve the heat.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Shi Jingze asked puzzled.

Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, it's about your righteous sister."

Shi Jingze's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Her? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhuang took out the epidemic prevention strategy, and explained in detail about Xu Wanzhen's visit in the afternoon, and said, "Whether I will help her to see the queen mother or not, you father and son will discuss it."

Shi Jingze frowned. Many of the methods mentioned in this set of strategies were unheard of. How could she dare to meet the Queen Mother?Could it be that a doctor from Suzhou is better than the entire Tai Hospital?Where did she have such courage.
