The First Empress - Chapter 134
Chapter 134 Empress Dynasty
Jade Water shocked the autumn, Huang Yun condensed into dusk, and the leaves were scattered in the air.
The wind stopped and Linglong hurriedly looked inside the Golden Royal Palace. The Empress had already sat down. From this distance, the Emperor and the Empress were like sculptures, giving off an inexplicable feeling of arrogance and arrogance.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. May I know why Your Majesty sent his concubines to the previous dynasty?” Ji Zhuhua frowned, showing a faint worry. Ji Zhuhua was simply too good at acting.
Linglong continued to look inside the hall.
“Lan Zaifu impeaches you. I told you to come over. You and Lan Zaifu should speak clearly in front of each other.” Hui Qi’s voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, and after he finished speaking, he sank into the dragon chair.
Ji Zhuhua’s eyebrows trembled slightly as he frowned, “As a pavilion elder, Lan Zaifu’s words must have pierced into the depths of the pavilion. This palace would like to hear what had not been done well, causing the pavilion elder to impeach him.” She didn’t know if it was because the hall was too empty, or because of some other reason, but Linglong felt that the Empress’ voice was simply empty.
She turned her eyes to look at the civil and military officials. Because of the distance, Ling Long could hardly see Lan Zhenglin. However, after a while, Lan Zhenglin had already stood out. “The Empress let Jieyu enter the study. It would be against the ancestral laws to participate in politics, and the harem’s chaotic politics would be extremely unworthy.” After saying that, she pursed her lips and said, “The Empress’ harem system is too strict. This is the second thing I want to impeach. What does the Empress think?”
Linglong was secretly shocked. She could tell that Lan Zhenglin’s voice was confident, completely emotionless, and business-like.
Linglong looked at the Empress again. The Empress’s gaze seemed to have descended and locked Linglong inside. “This palace would like to ask the Pavilion Elder, harem concubine, what kind of politics has Bu Jieyu messed up?”
‘”Well,” Lan Zhenglin’s hand trembled slightly as he said coldly, “It’s just to prevent Du Jian from getting into trouble. Could it be that the government is really messing with the country and the people? Could it be that the Empress and the Emperor don’t know that the gale started at the end of Qingping? The Thousand Miles Levee has collapsed into an ant’s nest. I hope the Empress doesn’t interfere in the matters of the past. What do you think?”
Ji Zhuhua waited for Lan Zhenglin to finish speaking before nodding slightly. “According to Elder Lan Ge, should I be deprived of this palace and replaced by someone else?”
“I don’t dare to speak rashly!” Lan Zhenglin said nonchalantly, then nodded.
The Empress did not show any expression as she looked at the Emperor. Her exquisite eyes also looked at the Emperor. The Emperor’s expression was so cold that there was no temperature at all.
“What does the Emperor think?” Ji Zhuhua looked at Huiqi.
Hui Qisha smiled, “I didn’t see anyone messing with the government, so I didn’t press the button. What does the Empress think?”
The Empress nodded. “This palace is naturally centered on the Emperor. His Majesty’s divine eyes are like a bolt of lightning. When it comes to chaos, this concubine only wants to say that Bu Jieyu has been in the inner court for three months. It has always been just Red Sleeves adding incense to help the Emperor clean up. If he wanted to chaos, he would have already seen the light of day.”
After saying that, he looked at the crowd and continued, “Everyone in high positions is here today. This palace would like to ask what is wrong with the matter in the past three months. The Emperor did not handle it properly. Please tell this palace to listen to it.” “If there really is harem chaos, this palace will naturally have a path to blame. Bu Jieyu and this palace will not tolerate adultery. Tell me about it.”
Huiqi is hard-working and loving, Moreover, there had never been a single memorial that was not read and answered seriously. Thus, after thinking for a while, everyone was completely silent. Lan Zhenglin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This was the first time Lan Zhenglin had clashed head-on with the Empress. Linglong could tell that Lan Zhenglin was somewhat nervous, and could even be said to be extremely nervous.
“Even if this matter is not on the table, In addition, the harem rules that the Empress has now drawn up, Is there a bit too harsh, Lan Zhenglin’s beard trembled as he spoke, as if he was going to interweave all of this with this crime. “There’s no need for women to be so restrained. As the head of the palace, the empress should properly train the concubines, but the empress would use all sorts of methods to suppress the concubines …” Lan Zhenglin’s beard trembled, as if he was going to interweave all these heart-choppressive matters on this charge.
Ji Zhuhua smiled faintly. “Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have interrupted the pavilion elder. However, what the pavilion elder said is wrong. The harem is exactly the same as the previous dynasty. The national law palace has its own rules. If this palace asks a young woman to serve the emperor in the study, then what is the pavilion elder doing?”
“This lowly official is just speaking out. There are many things that everyone can only remember in their hearts, but they are helpless. This lowly official can see them. Of course, I have to give advice. This lowly official is a savior, so he naturally has the right to say these words.” Lan Zhenglin was furious, and his slightly trembling sleeve waved in the air.
Ji Zhuhua said indifferently, “Could it be that Lan Zhaoyuan is always the reason why Lan Ge is mentally unbalanced?”
Lan Zhenglin removed Bai Yugui from his hands. He looked at Ji Zhuhua and said, “Your Highness, there is a need for law in the harem. Strict discipline is a good thing, but this official thinks that it can’t be too harsh. They say that filial sons are born under clubs, but how many filial sons have you seen under clubs, Your Highness?”
The Empress smiled instead of being angry. She looked at Lan Zhenglin and said, “The Pavilion Elder has seen a few more people who have allowed themselves to be left unchecked, yet they still have very good results. The Pavilion Elder might as well say that I am listening respectfully.”
‘”This …” Lan Zhenglin stammered, unable to utter a single word. Ji Zhuhua still maintained an unfavorable tone and said, ‘”Since that’s the case, it means that Prime Minister Lan also praises our Palace. Although I don’t think much about the appearance of filial sons under the club, I happen to know about it. There is someone who came out like this. This person must be familiar to all the officials, but I have never seen him before.” The Empress looked outside and saw that Linglong was still standing there, so she nodded and said, “Your Majesty, can you let Jieyu in?”
Everyone whispered to each other when they heard “Bu Jieyu”. Some people began to discuss secretly. Huiqi thought that it was time for Linglong to show up, so as not to make people laugh at the end of things. Besides, the Empress did things well, so the Emperor allowed the Empress to do what she wanted.
The Empress said loudly, “Xuan Bu Jieyu enters the hall.”
Linglong was surprised, but she quickly understood that under the lead of Supervisor Si Li, she walked into the main hall.
At this time, everyone’s gaze was like swords, looking at Linglong. Linglong did not feel too uncomfortable, nor did she avoid those kind and hostile gazes. Qing Qiu slowly walked into the hall and watched the Empress and the Emperor kneel down. “This concubine greets the Emperor long live, and I greet the Empress thousand years old.”
“Get up.”
Huiqi waved his hand.
Linglong stood up and looked straight at the yellow dragon pattern on the golden throne hall. Ji Zhuhua said, “This is the woman that you call a disaster to the country and the people. Everyone, let’s see if this Bu Jieyu is a disaster to the country and the people.” “And I want to tell you that I have already taught such a woman quite well with the new rules of the palace. Do you all think that my magic is not good?”
Lan Zhenglin did not expect Linglong to actually enter the Golden Royal Palace. Furthermore, Linglong was completely fearless. These people could already tell that Linglong had a unique ability to adapt and her expression was neither humble nor arrogant. These were all created by the Houtian realm, so there must be no such words left.
“Actually, this matter is also my fault. Everyone may not know. The reason why Prime Minister Lan impeached me like this is probably my fault. This palace is here to apologize to Prime Minister Lan. Bu Jieyu, apologize to Prime Minister Lan as well.” After saying that, the Empress lowered her head slightly. Even if she was apologizing, Linglong nodded her head hypocritically. “Lord Zaifu, I’m sorry.”
Linglong didn’t know why she apologized, but the Empress’ words quickly made Linglong understand.
‘”The reason why I apologize to Lan Zaifu is because I accidentally released Lan Zaifu’s daughter, Lan Zhaoyuan, during the experiment of the new palace rules. It was originally a small matter, but it was just a victory. I grounded her for a while to reflect on it. Sage Cloud said,” I have to save myself for three days. That’s probably the reason. ”
After saying that, the crowd began to speak. Wang Ruquan said, “Elder Lan, according to the rules of the harem, suppressing the victorious woman will probably not have any good results. The Empress has already made an exception. Why would Prime Minister sit in wax like this?”
Another person advised, “Empress Gao Yi, according to what Xiaoguan said, suppressing victory requires severe punishment. This kind of superstitious activity is really disdainful of the previous dynasty and the harem. The old man of Lan Pavilion has wasted his time reading the Book of Sages, yet he actually instigated his daughter to do this? It’s really unbearable!”
Hearing this, Ji Zhuhua smiled bitterly. “This palace doesn’t want to tell you about this matter, but if this palace doesn’t tell you how harsh this palace is, then this palace will naturally have its own difficulties as a palace master. The new palace rules are also for the benefit of this palace. What do you think, Elder Lan Ge?” Could it be that the assistant minister just now had said that he was going to kill them all? ”
Lan Zhenglin hurriedly shook his head. “No, Your Majesty is right. At that time, I misunderstood Your Majesty. The one who should apologize should be Your Majesty. Your Majesty deserves to die for offending Your Majesty’s Heavenly Yan. Your Majesty doesn’t know about your daughter’s victory. Please excuse me, Your Majesty.”
After all, Lan Zhenglin understood that he could only outwit his opponent now. Lan Zhenglin even glanced at Linglong, but Linglong would not plead for Lan Zhenglin’s help.
Ji Zhuhua nodded and said, “It’s not a big deal. Forget it, just reflect on today.”
Lan Zhenglin knew that he was in the wrong. Of course, the arrogance he had just displayed no longer existed.
Ji Zhu Hua slightly closed his eyes and said, “It’s just, it’s just that it’s not appropriate for the Empress to give way to Jieyu and school for the Emperor’s son in the end.” Looking at Linglong, the corner of Linglong’s mouth was a proper bitter smile. It was really unexpected that sometimes things were like the story of a farmer and a snake. If you let others off, they might not let you off. When you let them off, they would often bite back and make you regret it.
Linglong secretly gritted her teeth, wanting to say something to defend herself. However, seeing Huiqi’s expression, it was still inconvenient to say anything. Today, even Huiqi had very little to say. She naturally could not arrogate this troublesome matter to the Empress.
Right now, even if she said something wrong, it would trigger a series of chain reactions. Therefore, Linglong felt that she could only endure it. She could not endure it anymore and could endure it from scratch.
Ji Zhuhua wanted to say something, but he did not open his mouth. An official walked out of the civil servant’s office. It was Taifu Mu. Taifu Mu said, “The harem of the previous dynasty was originally two different organizations. Why did Elder Lan Ge have to be so aggressive? Everyone knew that the Empress had already released Ling Ai from her control. Didn’t Zaifu understand?” As for the chaotic political situation, it is just an unwarranted worry on the part of the prime minister. ”
After Mu Taifu finished speaking, he looked at Linglong. Linglong’s heart was much more at ease. At least, this person was a friend of her father for more than ten years. At this time, he could help her speak out. Linglong also felt that the weight on her shoulder was much lighter.
