In short, no matter what Zhao Changqing's original intention was in establishing factory guards, this matter is now considered a particularly wise thing in the minds of all ministers.

But this matter affected their interests.

Naturally, they would not give up and would not agree.

So, in the early morning of the next day, when the civil and military officials came to court, they had already agreed with each other and were ready to wait for His Majesty to come back later to jointly report that eunuchs should not be reused and that factory guards should be abolished.

However, something unexpected happened.

The ministers have been here for a while, but Zhao Changqing has not been seen attending the morning court.

This made the ministers start talking among themselves, what's going on? What time is it? Even if you sleep in, it's time to come over, right?

What's the point of leaving us all hanging out here?

Even Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, something was wrong!

The Minister of Civil Affairs bowed behind Zhuge Liang and said: "May I ask, Prime Minister, I wonder why your Majesty, it's already this hour and you still haven't seen your Majesty?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty has his own profound meaning."

Then, he glanced at Xiao Yuming, who quietly left Chengde Hall and went to Daming Palace without saying a word.

As for Zhuge Liang's reply to the Minister of Civil Affairs, it was really a helpless move. What could he say?

He didn't know what was wrong with His Majesty, why he didn't come to the morning court at such a late hour.

"Does it have a profound meaning?" Zhuge Liang said it casually, but it made the Minister of Civil Affairs break into a cold sweat and thought in his heart: "Could it be that His Majesty already knows that we will jointly submit a petition today to request the cancellation of the establishment of factory guards? What if it is true?

If this is the case, isn't His Majesty's move of not attending the morning court deliberately targeting us?

Do you want to give us a warning so that we can reflect on ourselves? Moreover, His Majesty did not attend the morning court, partly because he did not want to see the memorial in our hands, right?

This, this, this...something bad is going to happen! Something going bad is going to happen!"

He became a little flustered for a moment, and quickly called all the ministers to a corner and told them his thoughts.

It's okay that they didn't listen, but when they heard it, they became scared in their hearts!

If this is the case, then it means that His Majesty's determination to establish factory guards can no longer be reversed.

He was determined to build a factory guard.

Then if we take this action, wouldn’t it be...

Going against the emperor?

Hey, why didn’t you know you were so awesome before?

"Everyone, the matter has come to this, what should we do?" The Minister of Staff was completely helpless.

Just when all the ministers were frowning, Huang Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Everyone, there is no turning back when you open your bow. The matter has come to this, and even if this memorial is not available, it will be accepted."

After hearing this, all the ministers also became worried and said one after another:

"No matter what, even if I sleep in the Chengde Hall today, I still have to send the memorial to heaven to listen to it!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"..."

On the side, Zhuge Liang was watching them quietly and snickering in his heart.

After Xiao Yuming arrived at Daming Palace, he went to see Zhao Changqing, but he was blocked from the door with a sword.

The two immediately had a little argument.

Zhao Changqing was still lying on the bed and sleeping in. After gradually losing his sleepiness, he opened his eyes and heard the quarrels outside the door, so he asked Zhao Gao beside him: "Who is arguing?"

Zhao Gaobei said respectfully: "Your Majesty, are you awake? Back to Your Majesty, Duke Youguo Xiao Yuming Xiao came to ask to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty was still sleeping at that time, so he was rejected by the Sword Master. Then, the two of them

A few words of quarrel."

"Oh, what time is it now?" Zhao Changqing asked.

Zhao Gao replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's already past three o'clock."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Xuan Xiao Yuming, come in."

Zhao Gao nodded and said loudly: "The Duke of Xuanyou, Xiao Yuming, comes to see you."

After Jianyi outside the door heard the sound, he stopped stopping Xiao Yuming.

Xiao Yuming came into the back of the palace, knelt down to Zhao Changqing and said: "Xiao Yuming, a humble minister, bows to your majesty."

Zhao Changqing waved his hand and said: "Get up. How unbecoming it is to make a scene outside my palace so early in the morning? Do you think your current identity is still that little military governor back then?"

Xiao Yuming stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, please convict me. It's all my fault for being reckless!"

Zhao Changqing sat cross-legged on the dragon couch and asked Zhao Gao Gao to bring a cup of tea. After drinking it in one gulp, he said: "Forget it, you are now my veteran. If you dare to be so unruly next time, be careful as I give you

Army stick!"

Xiao Yuming didn't dare to raise his head, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. Yuoming will definitely not dare to make any mistakes in the future."

Zhao Changqing asked Zhao Gao to refill the tea. Before he could drink it, he asked Xiao Yuming, "What are you doing here? Building the Wuwei Army will give you a lot of leisure?"

Xiao Yuming said: "Reporting to your majesty, I want to see why your majesty did not come to the morning court today. I am afraid that something will happen to your majesty here, so..."

Xiao Yuming started to speak but stopped.

Zhao Changqing said impatiently: "What did I think was going on? I told the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that today's morning court will not be held, so let them disperse directly!"

The basic element of being a faint king is to ignore the government affairs, so I will go to whoever the court loves in the morning.

Xiao Yuming said in surprise: "This..."

Zhao Changqing frowned and said: "What is this? Didn't I explain clearly or did you not hear clearly?"

Xiao Yuming said: "I'm afraid this is not good, right? After all, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty..."

Zhao Changqing pretended to be furious. He stood on the dragon couch and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground. It immediately broke into pieces and the tea splashed all over the floor. Then he pointed at Xiao Yuming's nose and cursed:

"You bastard, who dares to talk to me like this? In this morning, whoever you love will go to you! Me! No! Go!"

Do you understand?"

Zhao Changqing's move shocked all the maids and eunuchs in the palace. Zhao Gao took the lead immediately and knelt on the ground.

When Xiao Yuming heard Zhao Changqing's scolding, he was not too afraid, because he had long been accustomed to his usual scoldings when he was in the army. However, he did not dare to talk back, so he bowed and said: "Slightly.

I will go and tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty now."

Zhao Changqing waved his hand to him.

Xiao Yuming understood and retreated.

Regarding Zhao Changqing's insult just now, even if most people are not afraid, they will still have opinions about him.

But Xiao Yuming is different.

why?

Because he is cheap.

He felt that Zhao Changqing's verbal abuse was an invisible favor.

Among those old men who have followed His Majesty on the battlefield since the Chu army invaded, who has not been scolded by His Majesty?

They regard this abuse as an honor.

After Xiao Yuming left, Zhao Changqing sat down on the dragon couch and muttered to himself: "It's getting more and more outrageous."

When I scolded Xiao Yuming just now, half of it was because I really wanted to scold him.

He is always annoying Zhuge Liang and the others now.

If they hadn't disrupted everything, could the mediocre value that was about to be obtained be achieved?

After hearing His Majesty's words, Zhao Gao did not dare to comment. After all, Xiao Yuming was an old man who followed His Majesty. His Majesty slapped him, which probably made his heart hurt. Facing such a big shot, he really had no qualifications to say anything.

All I can say is this:

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

At this time, the maids and eunuchs were still kneeling and did not dare to get up. Some of them were sweating just now.

Zhao Changqing suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Gaodao: "Is Princess Mi Yue of Chu State arriving in the capital soon?"

Zhao Gao knelt down and came to Zhao Changqing's dragon bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's count the days. It will probably only take a day or two."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Speak to the Ministry of Rites and let them prepare. After all, the woman who is about to become my concubine should have no less etiquette."

Zhao Gao said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell the Ministry of Rites about this later."

In front of Zhao Changqing, he still dared not call himself a minor minister.

"Will Qiaoqiao come with us? From now on, let Qiaoqiao serve as the female official of the Shanggong Bureau. This girl has served me since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot." Zhao Changqing suddenly thought of the palace maid Qiaoqiao who had been with him and served him since he was a child.

I mentioned it casually.

However, after Zhao Gao heard this, he already regarded this matter as a big deal.
