In other words, the emperor never really trusted anyone!
Even people who are comfortable with it still retain a bit of doubt.
For example, Zhou Nanhuang’s attitude towards Wu Zhongxian.
It seems that she treats Wu Zhongxian as a caring little cotton-padded jacket, rewards her with various rewards, and also says that Wu Zhongxian is her only confidant.
But what about actually?
She is still testing Wu Zhongxian.
Just because of the white-robed monk's imperial words, Zhou Nanhuang began to test Wu Zhongxian again.
This is the house of the ruthless emperor.
Wu Zhongxian looked at Queen Lu and smiled slightly: "What do I want? Queen, didn't you already know?"
"you!"
The Queen was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Butterfly!
He also wants to see butterflies!
Empress Lu was angry and ashamed. She squeezed her jade hands tightly and bit her red lips, looking delicate and tender.
"Queen, don't worry, please think about it carefully."
"After all, we still have midnight."
Wu Zhongxian leaned against the bucket, stretched out his arms, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a controlled smile.
The Empress was ashamed, angry and angry, and stared at Wu Zhongxian fiercely.
He gently placed his hand on the night clothes.
………
At the same time.
Late at night.
Zhou Nanhuang, who had slept for most of the day, also woke up.
After washing up under the service of the palace maid, Zhou Nanhuang tidied up his dragon robe and looked at himself in the mirror. He could not tell the difference between male and female, and then he left the palace with satisfaction.
It's late at night outside.
Zhou Nanhuang has become accustomed to a life where day and night are reversed.
When I came to the imperial study, I read the memorials as usual, assigned tasks to the ministers, and a series of other things.
After finishing everything, having breakfast, and going to morning.
Being a good emperor is really hard work!
There is a saying that goes well, being an emperor is not tiring, but trying to be a benevolent king is very tiring.
That's why Wu Zhongxian didn't bother to take the position.
When His Majesty was almost busy, Eunuch Cao found an opportunity to hand over Wu Zhongxian's letter.
"Wu Zhongxian?"
Zhou Nanhuang was slightly confused.
What is this guy going to do?
Could it be that it’s money to build the canal?
No need for money!
Zhou Nanhuang would not use the money from the treasury to build the canal.
Even though we know that after the canal is built, it will be very useful.
But now the national strength of the Zhou Dynasty is not enough to support the construction of the canal.
Compared with the canal, the Wei Dynasty in the north and the Ming Dynasty in the south are the two dynasties that are eyeing the canal and are currently the biggest trouble.
Therefore, the money from the treasury must be used for strategic preparations and cannot be spent on digging canals.
All we can do is suffer for the people.
Zhou Nanhuang sighed.
But also helpless.
The people of the north defend their homes and country.
This is a difficult choice.
But Zhou Nanhuang chose the latter without hesitation.
Only when there is a country, there is a home.
Without a country, how can we have a small family?
We can only allocate some disaster relief food to the north to temporarily stabilize the situation.
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Nanhuang opened the letter.
The content of the letter is very brief.
There are only three sentences.
“Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes and crown;
Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall;
Using people as a mirror can help you understand gains and losses."
Zhou Nanhuang murmured.
His eyes gradually changed and his expression gradually darkened.
She understood the meaning of these three sentences.
When Eunuch Cao heard the content of the letter, his expression changed drastically.
If His Majesty said these three sentences himself, that would be fine.
But to say it from the mouth of a minister is to teach His Majesty how to do things!
Because these three sentences mean.
Using copper as a mirror can organize one's clothes;
Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall of history;
By using others as your own mirror, you can know your gains and losses every day.
These are three educational words!
So, what do Wu Zhongxian mean by these three sentences to His Majesty?
Obviously, the purpose is to tell His Majesty to be humble in life and to learn humbly!
This is teaching the emperor how to behave!!
Throughout history, no scholar has ever dared to be so bold!!!
Eunuch Cao wanted to plead for Wu Zhongxian, but for a moment he didn't know how to ask.
Wu Zhongxian really touched the dragon scales this time.
This kind of thing should never be said nonsense.
Even if His Majesty is wrong, he cannot say it!
Zhou Nanhuang's face had become terrifyingly gloomy.
"After the morning court is over, let Wu Zhongxian come to see me!"
Zhou Nanhuang said coldly, took the letter and went to the morning court.
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This time His Majesty is really angry.
I don’t know how Manager Wu could be so bold.
I dare to say these things.
And he wrote it to His Majesty openly and honestly.
Isn't this a slap in His Majesty's face?
"I wonder, what is Manager Wu doing right now?"
…………
In Wu Zhongxian’s palace!
The Empress was holding the corner of her clothes, staring at Wu Zhongxian with shame and anger, her face full of tangles.
"Queen, if you don't want to, please go back as soon as possible. It's almost dawn, lest His Majesty find that you are not in the palace."
Wu Zhongxian sat in the wash bucket, the water he soaked in was almost cold, and he lost interest.
"Wu Zhongxian, I... I will never let you go!"
Empress Lu put down her harsh words and took action with her hands.
The night clothes fell to the ground.
She compromised.
She didn't want her father to bear the consequences of her recklessness.
Wu Zhongxian instantly became energetic.
"Empress, come closer."
"You!" Queen Lu was furious.
But seeing Wu Zhongxian pick up the dagger, shake it, and then throw it into the wash bucket, Empress Lu held back the anger that was about to burst out.
Holding back her shame, Chiguo's beautiful feet moved slightly, little by little, closer to the wash bucket.
His face was red with embarrassment, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
"If you lied to me, I will never let you go!"
"Of course not. However, I still can't see clearly. Madam, how about you come in and take a bath?"
Wu Zhongxian directly initiated the invitation.
"You're dreaming!"
The Queen's eyes were cold and she covered her vitals with her hands.
Wu Zhongxian smiled: "In this case, I have no choice but to give this dagger to Your Majesty."
"You! You bastard! You are shameless and despicable!!"
The Queen cursed angrily.
I have become more and more good at scolding.
Wu Zhongxian shrugged indifferently.
He said that he just liked to see the arrogant Queen scolding him, with a face full of resistance, but unable to refuse.
"Wu Zhongxian, after today, I will definitely kill you!" the Empress said with a cold face.
If it weren't for the pink color on her face, Wu Zhongxian would really think she wasn't shy.
"We'll talk about this later."
Wu Zhongxian said, stretching out his hand: "Come in first."
The Empress glanced at Wu Zhongxian's hand and didn't touch it at all.
She opened her legs, stepped over the wash basin and walked in.
Fortunately, the wash basin is large enough to accommodate two people, so there is plenty of space.
After the Empress came in, she leaned on the other side and covered the key points from Wu Zhongxian's eyes.
"Queen, don't forget, I will give you the dagger only if you promise to let me see butterflies."
