Chapter 1421 The Foolish Empress 44

Xining had a good sleep and slept until dusk, when it was time to turn on the lamp, and then he woke up.

I heard that King Duan and a group of ministers were still handling official business in Dezheng Hall.

Yes, this is her will. If you haven't finished reading it, or if you don't have her, then you have to finish reading it. Who dares to leave!

Xining asked people to quickly prepare food, wine and food and take them to the Dezheng Hall. After she freshened up a little, she went there.

There, everyone started to eat, and when they saw the empress arriving, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Without any courtesy!" Xi Ning asked everyone to get up and asked how much they had processed today.

The answer is that about half a month’s worth of official documents have been processed.

The efficiency is quite high. After a full sleep, Xining was in a good mood: "Everyone has worked hard today. After eating, we will deal with tomorrow's official documents tomorrow. Other old official documents that have not yet been passed can be completed within ten days."

Everyone became happy and thanked him one after another. If things continue to be like today, people will collapse within three days. The remaining half month will be divided into ten days. It will definitely be much easier than today.

Xining turned to King Duan and said, "I don't have any need for dinner, so let's eat with the emperor."

King Duan's dinner was kept alone or in the pavilion.

After walking to the pavilion and sitting down, Xining tore off a chicken leg and started eating before the bowls and chopsticks could be served. Needless to say, although the chickens here are made in a single way, they are all original and natural. They did not grow up on feed. The meat is relatively hard but very fragrant.

She raised her head, and Prince Duan watched her eat, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

Chewing in his mouth, it was shiny: "Brother Emperor, why don't you eat it? You should eat it too!"

Putting the chicken thigh in his hand in the bowl, he reached out and tore off the other chicken thigh and handed it to King Duan.

The smile on King Duan's lips became even wider, and he took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."

"What's the matter of favor and not reward? I've said it before, don't be so polite when no one else is around." Xining stood up and put the chicken drumsticks in the bowl in front of King Duan.

When he sat down, he said: "These chicken legs are the most delicious. You and I will each eat one."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Duan picked up the chicken leg bone and started eating.

This guy, no matter how close he gets, always maintains the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. Although he is the eldest son, he is a bastard, and he is destined to have no chance of inheritance from birth. Therefore, we should always maintain vigilance and etiquette in every word and deed, for fear of causing death.

Xining said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, how did you do today?"

King Duan paused in eating the chicken, put the chicken drumsticks in the bowl, and said respectfully: "Official affairs are complicated, and I have learned a lesson today. Are there so many memorials to read on weekdays?"

Xi Ning replied: "It's been nearly a month. Those old guys gave me a slap on the wrist, so I simply went through all the memorials for January. On the one hand, I wanted these ministers and me to get familiar with each other as soon as possible. On the other hand, I wanted to get familiar with them as soon as possible." On the one hand, they are also trying to find out what they are delaying.”

King Duan looked ashamed: "It's all my fault, Your Majesty."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Xining said honestly: "Originally, this kind of thing would happen sooner or later. Now it's okay to use this matter as an excuse. They proposed it themselves, I didn't force them to hand it over."< br>


They were also given a title promotion, and those who didn't have titles were given titles. How nice, and everyone was happy.

King Duan smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."

Xining nodded: "I also feel that I am quite wise. Come on, brother emperor, keep eating."

King Duan responded, picked up the chicken leg and ate it slowly, thinking as he ate.

Thinking about it carefully, I feel that this empress is too powerful. Through his affairs, she took all the power back in her hands in just a few days. He had to sell this favor, and the ministers couldn't tell the truth. They said that the empress could take on the important task and sent all the papers for that day. What they sent themselves and what the empress asked them to hand over are completely different concepts.

While I was thinking about it, I heard the empress say: "Since Brother Huang has done a good job, come to Dezheng Hall tomorrow to continue his duties."

ah! Are you coming again?

Is this empress lazy and sneaking out the flavor?

King Duan was shocked and said quickly: "This is not possible, it must not be done."

"What can't be done? Those old guys just want to exhaust me to death. I have just been poisoned, and my body is still weak." Xining sniffed: "Brother, are you willing to make me vomit blood and get sick from exhaustion?"


So tired that you vomit blood and get sick? I didn’t see it, but I saw that I was very energetic. I must have had enough sleep in the afternoon. On the contrary, he was almost vomiting blood after reading the papers all afternoon.

King Duan looked for reasons, but he told the truth: "When those old ministers learn that it is me who is reviewing the memorial, they will impeach me for trying to control the government and plotting evil."

"You are about to leave the capital and go to the fiefdom. If you have any other plans, it's settled." Xining cheerfully picked up the wine bottle and said, "I would like to drink to the emperor."

You must drink the wine offered by the Empress, even if it is poisonous wine, you must drink it.

King Duan quickly raised the wine bottle. After drinking, the empress asked someone to add more wine and offered a toast before he finished speaking.

Prince Duan could only drink more. After finishing the drink, the empress said that he would have to drink three cups in a row.

After finishing the third cup, it was finally time to talk. The empress stood up unsteadily.

"It can't be done, it can't be done!" Xining blushed, holding the table with one hand, raising the other hand and shaking it: "I'm drunk. Brother Huang, do whatever you want. I'll go back and rest first."

The body was still swaying, and the two palace maids next to her stepped forward to support the empress, who was walking a little unsteadily, back to the palace.

It's over now, and the rejection hasn't been said yet. Will you come tomorrow or not?

King Duan thought about pretending to be sick, but at present he was in full swing and had nothing wrong with him at all. How about the occasional cold or wind blowing at night and diarrhea?

At this time, the chief steward who had gone with him came back and saluted King Duan with a smile: "King Duan does not need to kneel down. His Majesty said: It is getting late today. King Duan will go to bed in the Xuanhua Hall. Tomorrow, he will come to the Dezheng Hall after three quarters." Politics.”

Okay, I really fell into this pit.

The next morning, as soon as the court came, a group of old ministers came to the court one after another and said that King Duan could not assist the government.

Weng Censor reported that he was sick at home. He said that he had fainted yesterday and fell ill when he returned home. His family members came to report that he was sick.

He must have seen that something was wrong with the situation, so he took the limelight first and didn't join in the booing, but he seemed to be angry about it. When things come to an end, no matter what the outcome is, he will not offend any party.

It seems that this old fox is not as upright as he imagined.

Xining said straightforwardly: "What's wrong with King Duan assisting the government? Most of the people who assisted the government before were relatives of the emperor. We do not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Prince Duan is my royal brother and is of the blood of the late emperor. How can he handle official duties for a few days?" Can he bring disaster to the Chen Dynasty? King Duan will return to the fiefdom in the near future. Although the affairs of the fiefdom are not as good as those in the court, letting him practice here for a few days can help him handle the fiefdom affairs better. No further discussion!”

He tilted his head to the officer next to him. The officer immediately understood and shouted loudly: "Retreat from the court!"

None of the ministers were willing to let go, but when they knelt and shouted "Your Majesty", Xining stood up and left directly with a few words of "Your Majesty" mixed in.
