Listening to the eloquent words, and then looking at the other party's splendid dress to congratulate him, the official suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Queen Changsun?
Would you rather match it?
When Ren Shouzhong secretly opened the Fengchen Treasury to obtain tens of thousands of taels of gold beads and presented them to Gao Taotao, the smile on our empress's face was as bright as a flower.
That joy...
What kind of empress is this?
If you had been a worthy empress when you first collected the money, you wouldn’t have been like this.
However, despite the slander, the official did not dare to say a word in front of him. Years of strict control over his wife made the Thirteenth Regiment Trainer always know that he must hide his thoughts in front of his wife, and what he can and cannot say.
The officials immediately helped Empress Gao up and said, "The empress is really my eldest grandson, but it's a pity that I am not Emperor Taizong. I don't have this fate."
Queen Gao suddenly said: "Why do the officials say this?"
The official sighed: "Didn't I ask Han Xianggong Ouyang Xianggong to discuss the title of my father Pu Wang?"
"Xiangong Han said that the ceremony officials meant that he should be called the emperor's uncle, but I think that I have called him daddy for decades and now he wants to be called uncle. This is unreasonable. Can I be called Huangkao? What does Xianggong Han mean?
, If you don’t call me Imperial Uncle, I’m afraid the Queen Mother won’t agree, and the officials won’t agree either.”
"You said that although Emperor Taizong killed his brother and forced his father, he was still his biological son, but what about me? The ministers kept saying that this world was given to me by the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and that I should be grateful to him, as if I became an official like a pickpocket.
It’s like getting a huge bargain, and Fu Bi kept saying that the late emperor had many people who could create heirs, but he chose me. Doesn’t this imply that any of the emperor’s heirs can replace me?”
Empress Gao said: "Then the officials are now going to compete for...the Emperor's Examination?"
The official said: "Although I am the emperor now, this position will be replaced by others at any time. Wouldn't this be given to the Queen Mother? Fu Bi is telling the truth. I have already told Xianggong Han, but we will discuss it after the period of great auspiciousness of the late Emperor..."
At this point, the official looked at Empress Gao and held her hand, and said with red eyes: "Taotao, do you know? In fact, I have never wanted to be this emperor. Han Qi, Sima Guang, Zhang Yue and the others have to do it.
Now that I have achieved the position of emperor. If I were not the emperor, I would not have turned my father into an uncle. I am really... extremely unfilial!"
At this point, the officials looked very angry, as if Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Zhang Yue had really done something heinous, and it was all your fault.
Even Gao Taotao couldn't help but shake his head at this moment and said: "But do the officials still remember what Zhang Yue said when you were at the palace?"
The official said: "I remember that at that time, Zhang Yue said that now everyone in the world knows that the late emperor appointed me as the prince. If I refuse to do so, and the late emperor chooses someone else in the future, will I be able to live in peace and safety?"
Gao Tao said: "Yes, what Zhang Yue said is absolutely right. Not only did they have no fault, they also made great contributions to our husband and wife. So how can the officials blame them today?"
The official was speechless for a moment, and then said: "I and Emperor Taizu are generally wearing yellow robes, and we are not free in any way."
The official glanced at Gao Taotao's face again and said quickly: "Okay, I understand. I will use Zhang Yue as Wei Zheng."
The official chatted with Gao Taotao again. Gao Taotao finally became happy and said: "It's getting late, so your Majesty doesn't need to correct the memorial anymore. You can stay in the palace and rest early!"
The official's expression changed and he immediately said: "I still have to wait for a memorial from Zhongshu."
Gao Taotao said with some disappointment: "Your Majesty has many things to do every day, so please take care of your dragon body."
The official had a hasty meal and then went back to his study to read the memorial.
It's not that he couldn't hear the eloquent plea just now, but it's just that after so many years as a couple, there has long been no feeling between the two, like the left hand touching the right hand.
The official family felt that it was very boring to go to the study. When the late emperor was there, it could be said that there were three palaces and six courtyards.
But what about now?
His main queen is very powerful and doesn't allow him to have concubines. As a result, he still doesn't have anyone to talk to him about.
How can he cope with this long night? It is said that becoming an emperor can have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. It is probably the only one like him in history.
When the official thought about what happened in the back hall today, he couldn't help but feel angry, and then he said to himself: It seems that Sima Guang and Zhang Yue would not agree to the imperial examination. It is Zhou Mengyang and Wang Tao who are still loyal to me.
At this moment, Zhang Yue returned home from the palace.
When he was in the palace just now, he made an impassioned speech and argued loudly with the officials, but now after leaving the Golden Palace, Zhang felt a chill in his back as he walked further and further.
As I was riding a horse and walking, I felt the cold wind behind me blowing straight from my neck into my clothes.
Only then did Zhang Yue realize that he had broken out in a cold sweat without knowing it.
What did you just do?
Contradict the emperor.
Zhang Yue actually felt a little scared when he thought about this, but then he thought of contradicting him and contradicted him. He was not wrong, so what was he afraid of?
Therefore, with two emotions at war, Zhang Yue returned home on horseback.
Zhang Yue was feeling a little depressed at the moment, and was thinking about whether he should resign, but when he returned home and saw Qi Niang, he saw a look of sadness on her face.
"What's wrong, madam?" Zhang Yue asked with a worried look on his face.
But the Seventeenth Mother threw herself on Zhang Yue and cried: "Guanren, my brother and sister-in-law...she went away this morning..."
Zhang Yue was stunned and then said: "Is sister-in-law gone?"
The Seventeenth Mother nodded with tears in her eyes. Zhang Yue quickly wiped her tears and said, "I have only been ill for two or three months... I passed away too fast. Madam, please take care of yourself."
The seventeenth mother said: "If my sister-in-law passed away, I wouldn't be so sad, but my brother is really chilling?"
"Brother, how is he?"
Seventeenth Mother said: "Do you know? I heard that a few days ago, when my sister-in-law was still seriously ill, my brother personally went to Lu Zhijian's home and promised to marry his daughter as his second wife."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue said angrily: "Brother-in-law, he is too stupid!"
The seventeenth mother cried: "It's pitiful that my sister-in-law gave birth to children for him, and now she has not passed away, but she has ended up in this situation. I don't blame my brother for wanting to remarry, but after all, I have to leave before the tea is cold."
Well, but now that my sister-in-law has not left, my brother has done this, which really makes me feel that my sister-in-law is not worth it."
Zhang Yue nodded and said, "My lady is right."
Zhang Yue then thought of why Lu Jie had been protecting him so much recently. It turned out to be because the two families were about to get married.
"What's wrong with you, officer? What happened to the court?"
Zhang Yue said: "It's okay."
The Seventeenth Mother said: "My lord, you and I are of the same mind. If you have anything to say, please just say it..."
Zhang Yue knew that he couldn't hide it from Seventeenth Mother, so he said to her: "Madam, you need...you need to be prepared. Maybe my official position will not last long?"
Seventeen Niang asked curiously: "The official just became a court official, and it is the time when his official career is successful. Why do you say this?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Qi Niang. He knew that his wife wanted her husband to become a dragon. She had always hoped that she could take a higher step in her career, but today because of her impulsiveness...
Zhang Yue said to the Seventeenth Niang: "Madam, to be honest, I did something evil to the official in the palace today, so... so I don't think this official will be able to do it!"
