Dr. Cai placed the tea cup on the table. It seemed that it was too heavy unintentionally and it made a sound.
"Sir, I think something is not good. I don't know what the connection is with Old Doctor An..." Dong Lin said hurriedly.
"What kind of relationship can he have with a useless person? If the emperor hadn't come to his aid in time, the Sima family of Julu King would have wanted his life." Cai Medical Ling said calmly, "Isn't it because of Fang's care that Zhou Maochun would not be imprisoned?
It's just a pain. If he really has the ability, let Fang go to the emperor to intercede for his release. If Fang dares to fart, I will kowtow to him."
The man surnamed Fang would not dare to fart in front of the emperor even to death...
Dong Lin couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Okay, it's only been two days. Just wait, Zhou Maochun won't be able to hide for one day at most." Cai Medical Ling touched the teacup and said, "It's time to give away all the information about the Mobei Army Preparation Road."
At this time, in the palace hall, the emperor was discussing matters.
In addition to the eunuchs standing there, there were seven or eight other officials standing with their hands hanging.
There was silence in the room.
On the dragon chair, the emperor was picking up a book. He only looked at the cover and kept it on the table. At this time, there was a snapping sound.
Gradually, the snapping sounds became more and more frequent, which made the ministers standing underground also feel their hearts stop.
"Are these memorials sent by Mobei Army?" the emperor asked.
A red-robed official in his late sixties bowed and answered.
"How can he, Zhou Maochun, provoke so many memorials by himself? Is he too powerful? Or is this Mobei army a waste?" the emperor asked slowly.
The red-robed official's waist became even more curved.
"I am guilty," he said tremblingly.
"Fang Shujun." the emperor shouted.
A minister standing nearby hurriedly bowed and came out of the queue.
"Is your father dead?" the emperor asked.
Mr. Fang trembled slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I haven't yet..." he said.
Before he could finish speaking, he was hit by a memorial.
"If you are still alive, ask Zhou Maochun to get over here!" the emperor shouted.
Master Fang turned around and walked out in response, his face unable to conceal his worry.
It seemed that something was wrong this time. He originally wanted to wait for a few days, but the emperor's anger was less. Zhou Maochun came out again. Unexpectedly, he had only been in Beijing for two days, and the emperor announced it, and he asked for it in front of so many ministers.
Questioning instead of meeting alone to rebuke him first showed that the emperor did not want to give any face at all.
Zhou Maochun was hurriedly summoned to the palace, while Qi Yue also came home and saw Mrs. Chen.
"Aunt, I want to go to the palace to meet the saint," she said.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment.
"I want to explain to the emperor what we did in Mobei." Qi Yue said, kneeling down to Chen and holding Chen's hand.
Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand to pull her.
"That's nothing." She said nonchalantly, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have told His Majesty, and His Majesty has agreed. Even if it is a big deal, you will be fine."
we have a deal?
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment. She didn't look too happy when Chen came out from the emperor's place that day, and thought she hadn't agreed.
Mrs. Chen held her hand and was slightly lost in thought.
I just promised to take care of you, but you have to meet in person...
It's a pity that this little devil knew that she wanted to introduce him, but he just didn't let go.
"Master Zhou wants to take over everything, and I want to explain it in person." Qi Yue shook Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "I know this makes it difficult for you, aunt, but I don't know who else can give me the most help."
See the emperor soon."
Mrs. Chen came back to her senses and pondered for a moment.
This is also a good opportunity to admit my mistakes...
"Okay, let's go there. I happen to be going to see the Queen Mother," she said.
Qi Yue thanked him happily.
"It's okay. Don't worry. If anything happens to anyone, you will be fine too." Mrs. Chen stroked Qi Yue's temples and said kindly.
Qi Yue smiled bitterly.
She would rather everyone be okay, even if something happens to her.
When Mrs. Chen took Qi Yue into the palace gate, Zhou Maochun was already standing in front of the emperor.
Seeing Zhou Maochun's red face and weight gain, the emperor sneered twice.
"Master Zhou, you seem to be in a good mood." He asked with a smile.
"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, it's okay." Zhou Maochun saluted and said.
Before he finished speaking, a heavy memorial bag hit him.
"But I'm in a bad mood!"
The emperor's furious voice came over at the same time.
Everyone is already familiar with the emperor's moodiness, knowing that it means the emperor's anger has exploded.
There was a sound of guilt in the hall, but this did not stop the emperor from scolding.
"... Thousands of thieves and slaves in the area plundered three passes, two provinces and nine counties on the 20th. This is what you call a nine-layered town that is comparable to an iron barrel!"
"...What an iron bucket? It's obvious that the thieves' slaves were seriously injured a few years ago..."
"... Now they have slowed down and gave me a big slap in the face as soon as they made a move..."
"...it's all in vain that you brag all the time. I rule well and have strong soldiers and horses. This is because I owe the glory of our late Emperor Taizu!"
The emperor became more and more angry as he spoke, and in the end he just started to curse. I don’t know where this emperor, who was brought up by the best Confucianism in the palace, learned so many curses. I heard that the emperor often left the palace privately. It seemed that
Really, only in the market can you hear so many unimaginable curses.
The ministers in the underground couldn't help but wander away, but they were soon brought back to their senses by the memorial dropped by the emperor who was not satisfied with scolding.
The eunuchs and ministers standing underground all made rice seedlings, but no one dared to hide. They just knelt down and sobbing and confessed.
The emperor was tired of scolding and broke out in sweat. He tossed his sleeves and sat back on the dragon chair, looking at the people below with a gloomy expression.
"Zhou Maochun, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly while I'm in a bad mood," he said.
Zhou Maochun stood up and the memorial fell off his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?" he asked with an innocent look on his face.
The emperor's anger, which had just subsided, rose again. He had no memorials to throw, and he was a little tired from scolding. He simply raised his foot and kicked Long An. The eunuchs on both sides were frightened and hurriedly knelt down to help him.
"Did I just say it in vain?" the emperor said angrily.
The other ministers who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help shouting in their hearts, this old man is just annoying at other times, why is he so arrogant now!
"We lost the battle, what does this have to do with me?" Zhou Maochun said persistently.
The ministers bowed their heads again. They were really committing suicide...
"Are you saying that I got involved because I lost the battle and vented my anger?" the emperor said secretly.
"I didn't say that." Zhou Maochun said hurriedly.
The emperor laughed angrily and pointed at the memorial on the ground.
"Pick it up and look at it," he said.
As expected, Zhou Maochun obediently picked up one, and when he saw that it read "Gansu Commander-in-Chief Xiong Dashan Ginseng Zhou Maochun's Military Extension Plan", he took a look at it.
"Did you do this?" the emperor asked.
Zhou Maochun nodded.
"Look again," the emperor said.
Zhou Maochun picked up another one and saw on it the words "The Supervisor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Censor Wen Ding participated in Zhou Maochun's absurd infidelity".
"Have you ever done these things?" the emperor asked again.
Zhou Maochun nodded again.
"I did." He answered honestly.
The emperor raised his foot and kicked the table again, making a loud bang, which made everyone in the room tremble again.
He stood up and pointed across the desk to the ground.
"These are all for you! You still ask me what's wrong with you! What's wrong with you! Being old and not dying is a thief!" He cursed angrily.
Zhou Maochun's expression remained unchanged.
"However, there is nothing wrong with these things. I am only doing my job of treating patients and injuries..." he said.
Before he finished speaking, the emperor grabbed the vermilion pen on the table and smashed it over, hitting Zhou Maochun's forehead right in the middle, and drew a line of vermilion.
"You dare to play with my military and political affairs, and you dare to play with my soldiers. What else do you dare not to do? Are you going to play with my head next time?" He cursed angrily.
These words were so serious that the ministers kneeling on the ground could no longer pretend to be dumb and kowtowed one after another. Some people stood up and scolded Zhou Maochun.
It seems that Zhou Maochun is completely determined to anger the emperor and plead guilty today.
The ministers sighed inwardly.
A young eunuch walked in at this moment and hesitated against the wall for a moment. The eunuch beside the emperor saw it and walked over quickly. He listened to what the young eunuch said. He suddenly looked stunned and shook his head. The young eunuch also shook his head.
, the two of them made eye contact for a moment, and in the end the eunuch beside the emperor was unable to turn around and come back.
"Say." The emperor shouted angrily.
The minister below was startled before he could speak, but saw the eunuch ducking close to the emperor and saying something.
"Go away." The emperor said directly.
The minister below was startled again, but saw the eunuch rolling down.
"No?" Mrs. Chen looked slightly anxious.
"My lady, His Majesty is so angry right now that there is going to be a fight in the palace." The fat eunuch said in a low voice, "Listen to me, please go back quickly and don't get into trouble."
Chen hesitated.
The fight started...
Qi Yue clenched her fists.
"Eunuch," she stood up and said, "please inform me once again that Qi Yueniang from Qianjin Hall is here to visit."
Mrs. Chen hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Yue Niang, don't mess around, Your Majesty won't see you," she said.
You have the emperor Taizu's personal instructions for coming and going, but you can't make the emperor let go. How can you say anything?
The fat eunuch also smiled bitterly.
"My father-in-law is in trouble. This is Yueniang's wish." Qi Yue took out a banknote and handed it over.
The eunuch was startled.
"Madam, this is a slap in my face." He said hurriedly.
Mrs. Chen didn't want Qi Yue's face to fall to the ground. She was already here anyway, so she had to try it no matter what.
"Xiao Huang, I'm really giving you a hard time," she said.
The fat eunuch looked at her and sighed, then reached out to take it.
"Okay, I'll go there again." He said, turned and walked away.
After walking to the front of the main hall, the fat eunuch casually glanced at the banknotes in his sleeves and was startled.
Five thousand taels!
Mother!
This little lady is so generous!
There was another exchange of expressions among the eunuchs in the main hall, and in the end it was the eunuch who walked towards the emperor.
The emperor turned to look at him, only to see that the eunuch broke out in a cold sweat and finally knelt down.
"Your Majesty, all the rich ladies are here... all together..." they just communicated in a low voice, but they couldn't hear clearly, and because they were frightened by the emperor's sight, the eunuch couldn't remember what to call him, so he stammered.
It is always right for a woman to call her Niangzi.
"Miss Qi from the Qianjin Hall, I'm here to greet you." He kowtowed and said. (To be continued)
