Chapter 424 The Settling of Dust
Ji Yue stood in the bedroom in a frenzy. I don't know how long it had been. Suddenly, I heard the door "squeak" sound, and I was shocked and quickly greeted her... Although I still didn't quite understand your majesty's words, she was in charge of your majesty's bedroom. At this time, I should have called someone to clean it, instead of being stunned. In a daze here.
The one who came in was the inner servant Hongqi's father-in-law.
"Gao Jiyue received the decree." The general manager of Da Nei, Hong Zhi Gong, as always, had his nostrils to the sky. "The emperor told me that Cao Ruyan, the governor of Jiangdong, has made great achievements in protecting him and has made outstanding political achievements. From now on, he will be promoted from the first-class military department, and will also be awarded the scholar of Wuying Hall, Zhilong Tuge, and participate in the pre-keeping. Her daughter, Gao Jiyue, is gentle and virtuous. She is promoted to bed and gives her five grades, and she is still serving in the bedroom.
After saying that, he hummed out of his nose and looked at Ji Yue's order to thank him. At the same time, he scolded him in a voice that she could hear: "Hu Meizi." He also said, "Your Majesty asks you, the new high school scholar and his family are driving in Hunan. Do you have the mind to go home and get together?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Yue smiled bitterly in the face of such a gift and glory. The Hongqigong Guild has such an attitude. It must have been because she thought that she had been the king, so she took a family of chickens and dogs to heaven, right? But doesn't he think that if so, there will be such a strange reward? The father was promoted to a first-class member, but the daughter was appointed as a female official, which is not of the rank of concubines... Even if your majesty really wants to give her a family reunion, why do you have to ask?
"To your majesty, the maidservant can serve your majesty's side, and my heart is enough, and there is nothing else to think about." Ji Yue's face turned pale, and what she couldn't figure out for a long time finally made progress. It turned out that your majesty's warning was all here... The glory of the Gao family is like this. How dare she be involved with her parents? Your Majesty didn't ask her in person, but asked her to make a decision, right?
The father-in-law of Hongqi was a little surprised and asked her, "You have thought about it. Although you have sealed the bed and added five grades, you are already the highest among women in the palace; but this sample rank still can't let parents and family visit the palace." The implication is that there will be no such store after this village.
"The maidservant has entered the palace, so he is no longer from the Gao family. Naturally, he doesn't need to see his family again."
Grandpa Hongqi didn't say much and said coldly, "In this case, our family will come to see the four female officials of Si Shishi, Siyu, Siyuan and Si Deng for a while." After saying that, he turned around and left... Another sarcastic sentence came from the air: "What's so proud of Xiao Xiaowupin? Wuyou Princess also added Cong Yipin today..."
Ji Yue stepped back a few steps and fell on the top. After His Majesty Longen, she specially forced her to say the words "no longer a high family", for what it was to reveal... In fact, she should have thought of it for a long time, right? How is it so easy to share secrets with the emperor? There is only one person in the world, which will make the emperor really miss "I once talked to him"?
I have already found the looming shadows around her, as well as the isolation of the women in the palace... Now, he warned her not to overdo it, and even cut off her from her parents' warmth? So, what kind of future will she get...
The sun is not very bright, and the weather is also sultry and humid. However, the emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty, Feng Zizhen, has a refreshing look on his face that has not been seen for a long time. Even the common peonies in the imperial garden beside the corridor make him stop and watch for a long time.
The reason is that the communication with Yang Hongqi and Ji Yue has changed a lot in the mood of the emperor for a period of time. This is actually an emotional catharsis. As an emperor, Feng Ziqi has grown rapidly under the influence of Lou Duo, and the way of power has long been perfect. He knew that he needed to be mysterious in front of his ministers at all times, and he also knew that such a long-term emotional depression would lead to some distortions in his personality. Therefore, since he ascended the throne when he was a child, he has paid great attention to venting his bad emotions in time and showing his true side in front of someone... Even if it is covered up with jokes and taking Huai as the tone as the tone, even if he is far away, he ensures to master the card of controlling the person.
However, after the fall of Lou Duo, the man gradually drifted away from him, and slowly showed his sharpness with him in another gesture, which made him feel a little lonely. Coincidentally, he also looked for another channel for emotional catharsis... It's just that Ji Yue, the girl, he had no complicated feelings for her. The communication with her is also more about him talking and listening; he doesn't need her to give more opinions, let alone too much involvement with the outside world.
If possible, he will be willing to turn her into his caged bird. He can listen to his words, but he can't produce more caged birds with his words.
Of course, in any case, it is better to talk to a person than to a bird. He also has the confidence to control the "confedant". In this sense, the girl Jiyue doesn't have to become a bird at all.
But what about the person who "shared secrets" in the past? Would he like to turn her into a bird?
Always accompany him, listen to his words, give him a response, gently chir for him, beautiful caged bird?
If her heart can be seen clearly by him.
Feng Zifeng is decided in this way.
Once upon a time ago, he and Yunshang talked about Lou Duo, the traitor with a loyal minister with the wealth of the country, which were acts derived from power, and which were psychopaths derived from power... At that time, he said to Yunshang that he would own this country, and that he would stand in the sky. Use your power to control the world, but you will not give up and be happy.
The happiness of a normal person.
So he will relax himself appropriately. I will insist on not using "foreign relatives" as a conventional way to consolidate imperial power. There will be a trace of fantasy in my heart - get a confidant and hold a white head.
Of course, as an emperor, any fantasy. Any extravagant hope. It is all based on the premise of not endangering the country and society. Just like his vow that the phoenix will not return, and the harem will not stand. If you really need it. He will also push the boat along the water. Take advantage of the request of the courtiers. Add a few irrelevant concubines to yourself. To stabilize the court. Or encourage soldiers to use their lives.
And he dreams of a lifelong partner. Then it should be understanding. He appeared behind him in a gesture of silent support. Add a cup of fragrant tea while he is working. Listen gently when he is tired.
As he said in his description of Ji Yue. He had never thought about Yunshang - even if the two of them got along with each other. And he was also very emotional when he faced her.
The reason is just that Yunshang is too smart and cunning. If it's really a man. He could never rest assured that he would deliver the emperor's true feelings to such a person; there are too many variables. He didn't dare to take this risk with the country.
At the same time, it is also because the woman is becoming more and more unable to be controlled by him, and she is far from the quiet girl she had seen when she was young.
However, Lou Yunshang is a woman, but she is also an extremely beautiful and enchanting woman. I miss these days. I'm just thinking about this possibility... If she can understand her feelings, then those worries don't exist, right? Although there is also a regency dictatorship as a woman in history. The precedent that eventually usurped the country. But... he is still confident. Since his pro-government, he has been able to guard against the eunuchs who are most easily authorized in the cabinet system. You can stick to the ancient motto of "the harem is not allowed to participate in politics".
Imagine, Yunshang, who was stripped of with those annoying political power skills, Yunshang, who was gentle and charming for him, joined hands with him to see all the morning sun and sunset, and tasted all the autumn moon and spring flowers... Suddenly, I felt that if it was Yunshang, he would indeed be willing to give up the harem for it. Even if the Wenwu Dynasty was forced, he would keep it. A piece of heart...
His Majesty was fascinated by the cluster of delicate peonies in this way. His sword eyebrows were shallow and comfortable, and his thin lips were slightly squeezed, with a faint smile.
It seems that the peony full of eyes is her smile.
No one will disturb him at such a moment, even if the political decrees issued by him have become a mess. When he came out of the bedroom this morning, he passed on several decrees in a row and got up to Yunshang's temporary residence... And the hundred forest guards behind him immediately surrounded the small courtyard. Its murderous atmosphere was enough to turn away anyone who dared to be dissatisfied with the edict and tried to see the holy face to raise an objection.
The three decrees he issued are mainly about the transfer of personnel.
First, the great general, the rank of honor... Lu Shen and other military and horse governors all added generals and gave slaves and maidservants to the mansion. First, they should be treated like civil servants; secondly, Yunshang was promoted from the first grade and officially took over the Ministry of Industry; Third, he ordered Cao Ruyan to be the secretary of the Ministry of War and entered the cabinet.
As soon as such an order is issued, it is equivalent to officially upgrading the position of the generals and the arrangement of cabinet seats... Especially the appointment of Cao Ruyan's position as the secretary of the Ministry of War, which is directly divided from the old bachelors who lead the two departments of soldiers and punishments, and finally shows the emperor's attitude towards Lord Taifu's resignation... From then on, the old bachelor The position of the adult's first assistant is ready to fall.
You don't have to think about it. You can know what kind of sensation these decrees will cause among the officials who pay attention to the political situation.
So as soon as the order came out, Feng Ziqi hid in Yunshang and blocked those possible troubles outside the hospital... At the same time, he was also blocked outside the room... In the room, the doctor Sheng Luji, who arrived in the starry night, was acupuncture and treating the acupuncture point for the worry-free princess and driving away the cold poison.
Feng Zifeng stood with his hands behind his back, and his bamboo dragon robe was more and more graceful and condensed by the peony flowers; the Yulin imperial guard stood far away, but majestic. No one can disturb the emperor's thoughts at this moment, let alone observe the emperor's expression at this moment... And if someone can really observe, you can see the faint smile on his face and the hidden expectant look at a small carved wooden door not far away.
