Chapter 1406 The Foolish Empress 29


Chapter 1406 The Foolish Empress 29

At this time, the chief steward was stunned. He was planning to release people from the palace, and he also planned to release all the concubines who did not sleep with him. This seemed to be inconsistent with the ancestral system.

He asked blankly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even if they are not used, they are still yours. How will they live if they are released?"

Men and women are equal here. Whichever party has money and strength can marry, while the other party can marry. But after all, someone who was once a king is equivalent to being kicked out of the palace. How many people dare to take over?

"That's true~" Xining scratched the back of his head with his fingers: "Now the national treasury is also nervous and there is no money to distribute to them."

The chief steward burst into tears. It was not about the money issue, but whether the empress had been in the palace for a long time and did not know the worldly views of the world, which would cost people's lives.

Xining thought for a while: "It's better to prepare first. This matter was originally meant to be taken slowly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare some for you and send them to your queen." There is no point in sending them. At most, you can let your queen know about the situation of these concubines.

It must be like this. The queen has never asked about government affairs, and the affairs in the palace are all taken care of by the Secretary of Internal Affairs. With the current momentum, the queen might take over, so the empress asked him to tell the queen the details of the net worth of these concubines.

As for wanting to be released from the palace, it was also told to the Queen and Dong Yushi Zhongchen, which showed that the empress truly loved the Queen.

Thinking of this, the chief manager felt confident. Whatever you say must be written in detail. If possible, find a time to talk to the queen and let the queen know clearly about these concubines.

The eunuch came in to report, and King Duan came to visit.

When Xining heard this, he immediately asked someone to go out and invite him.

King Duan walked in, wearing only ordinary wide sleeves and long train, with black background and red stripes. He only hung a jade pendant composed of three round jade pendants around his waist to show his noble status.

To be honest, compared to the master, this late emperor's concubine has more imperial temperament.

Prince Duan just walked in, and just as he was about to kneel down, the empress suddenly tightened her mouth, sniffed, and said pitifully: "Brother, I have been poisoned."

Ouch, King Duan's legs softened and he knelt down.

Even the chief manager looked straight at him, his face changed very quickly. She was wise and wise just now, but now she has become a little sister acting coquettishly in front of her brother. No wonder King Duan didn't take action.

"Brother Emperor, why are you kneeling again? I have already said that you don't need so many courtesy when there are no outsiders in private." Xining asked: "Bring a chair to Prince Duan."

Not even asking for a seat, just bring a chair over like an ordinary person.

After King Duan sat down, he responded: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. Since Your Majesty is a goddess, I must respect her."

Come on, when you lead troops into work, you have to kill her, why didn't you think of some etiquette?

Xining smiled: "That's all, that's all, if you want to kneel, just kneel. But you are only allowed to follow the so-called etiquette when meeting and leaving, and you are not allowed to kneel again in between."

King Duan bowed: "I obey the decree."

This King Duan is born after all. They are all treated with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and everything they say is cautious. The current situation is that neither two people can kill each other.

This time it was considered that King Duan led the troops to "King Qin". Since it was not considered a rebellion, naturally he could not be killed.

At present, the overall situation has been basically decided. If King Duan kills the empress, the royal family members will never let him go. Since we can't kill each other, let's live in peace. From now on, one will be in the capital and the other will be in the fief, each under his own palace and in charge of each place.

When King Duan was sitting, his back was straight, often on horseback.

Look at the empress like this. She spends all day hanging out with beautiful men. She is ignorant and incompetent. She only listens to half of her previous homework and throws away half of it. At a young age, apart from laughing and joking with Mianshou, I never did anything serious.

Xining really wanted to give in, just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in a certain plane, be a Shanyang Gong and still enjoy the rites and music of the emperor. Then you don't have to worry about government affairs anymore, just follow those handsome men and have a happy face.

In fact, this kind of life is more suitable for body owners!

Mo Ming: "Go away! If you want to be lazy again, even if you don't set any tasks, don't even think about stepping down to make way for someone more worthy."

Is this Adou who can’t be helped? Even if you don't enjoy the emperor's rituals and music, it's not bad to be an Adou or an Le Gong.

Shanyang Gong and Anle Gong were still dukes in the hands of people with other surnames, and they could still enjoy a good life and die in peace. It’s actually a very good choice!

However, even if he offered to give up the throne at this time, King Duan would not accept it, and neither would the old ministers. Even that night, they all hid at home. Of course, there are also people who are stuck at home for various reasons.

Xining let out a long sigh: "Brother, it's not easy to be the emperor. You will be poisoned at every turn. I still can't sleep well at night, for fear that as soon as I close my eyes, someone will sneak in and assassinate me. No wonder kings have always been Don’t live long!”

It’s not easy to be a person, but you still have to be, who calls you the eldest daughter... Prince Duan secretly rolled his eyes, but on the surface he was still respectful: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much, your Majesty has his own destiny. What happened this time , if it is found out who did it, I will cut his body into thousands of pieces and smash his bones into ashes.”

"Okay!" Xining nodded and said happily: "With Brother Huang here, I feel much more at ease. It's a pity that Brother Huang may leave next month. Otherwise, I really want to keep Brother Huang." .”

Why stay? No matter how prosperous the capital city is, it can't help living a life far away from the emperor. When he comes to the fiefdom, he can be free and easy, but he is the biggest.

King Duan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said: "Once you are granted the title of king, you cannot stay in the capital for too long. This is the ancestral rule. If you don't have enough time, there will be more. Even if it is better to hide temporarily, if you cannot find out for a while, the trap will be revealed. When this matter comes to light, I can come back to relieve your Majesty’s anger.”

Xining nodded again: "That's right. Brother Huang has not yet had any heirs, so he cannot stay in the capital for a long time. We cannot delay the birth of nephews and nieces for me."

Where are you? Are you rushing back to the fiefdom to raise your children?

Thinking of the twenty "concubines" who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and all of them danced and danced to get into the contest, King Duan's heart almost skipped a beat, and his brows almost furrowed.

Last night, Princess Duan's father, Liu Yushi, came and was very respectful, treating her like a prince instead of a son-in-law.

He patted his chest and said that these twenty concubines were the empress' favor to his family. Princess Duan must not be happy enough.

While telling lies with his eyes open, he also hinted that King Duan should be kind to his daughters so that they can conceive children as soon as possible. After all, the concubine is the direct lineage.

I know that Liu Yushi was like this because he was summoned into the palace by the empress. It is said that he stood outside the palace for most of the day and was only released home after dark. Beat it hard enough!

Of course King Duan agreed. The two princesses had no faults and could be considered a couple in need.

Because I lived a precarious life in the past, I didn't have any children. This time I go back and I can have a few children with peace of mind.

Just as he was thinking about going into the palace to thank the Empress, there was news that the Empress had been poisoned. That was even more important, otherwise I would have thought he sent someone to poison her.
