When all the officials heard the emperor's voice, they all fell silent, holding their breath and listening intently.
"However, since..." Di Qianao slowly stood up from the dragon chair, "Divorcing your wife is related to the stability of the people's hearts. After all, it is not a trivial matter. What Zhong Hao said reminded me in time that the hearts of the people are greater than heaven. I
It almost led to a big mistake and lost the virtue of a king of a country!"
Zhong Hao is the official name of the historian. The historian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The emperor can listen to unfaithful advice. He is indeed a wise emperor!"
Everyone seconded the proposal.
Di Qianao lowered his hand and picked up the emperor's hat that was resting on the dragon chair and put it on the top of his neck. For a moment, he showed no anger or authority, making people look at him in awe.
All the officials couldn't help but shuddered and put on their dragon hats. They were no longer the emperor chatting with his ministers just now, but the Emperor Dongming who spoke every word of the imperial edict and could not be disobeyed!
"After all, the queen is responsible for not curing the harem. I care about the stability of the country and the maintenance of people's hearts, so I don't have to punish her." Di Qian'ao said with a slight pause, "But, there must also be a severe punishment! Empress Dadongming, from now on, she will not be punished.
After being sent to the moon, he took off his phoenix crown and robe, and was sent to the Imperial Courtyard to experience the hardships of the common people by farming for a period of five years, under the supervision of the historian! During the period of punishment, except for attending major national public events in phoenix robes, all others were with civilians.
No different!"
-I want three meals a day, simple meals, sunrise and sunset. I want to live an ordinary life as a commoner with the Nine-Five Supreme Being. It's better to be austere.-
The soft voice of his beloved wife echoed in Di Qianao's ears, and Buyi was also the yearning in his heart.
His stomach felt even more uncomfortable due to the high pressure. If anyone is dissatisfied, once someone is dissatisfied, I... have no choice but to give my wife the life she desires. There are no conditions, but I will create conditions.
Wow.
When all the officials heard this, they all whispered to each other.
The emperor is strict!
He was so cruel to his pregnant wife that the queen of a country had to work hard even though she was pregnant. She stopped working for five years to seize the phoenix robe and become a commoner peasant woman for five years!
In addition to being harsh, he is also a bit...unenlightened, right? He is so nonchalant about women.
"Emperor, Holy Ming! I am convinced!" the crowd shouted.
Di Qian Ao clenched his sweaty hands tightly, "The rest of the concubines have brought trouble to the imperial court. All of them are abandoned and sent out of the palace overnight. The son does not teach. It is the fault of the parents. Why not respect the virtues of nuns!"
As he spoke, Di Qianao slapped his hand heavily on the dragon table, making a loud noise.
"The humble ministers are terrified!" Among the ministers who had taken off their official hats, no one dared to contradict the emperor who was wearing a dragon hat.
Di Qianao then turned his gaze to Yuan Huo and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Master Yuan raised his head, looked at the emperor quickly, and said hurriedly: "No... nothing. The emperor's decision is really fair!" He did not dare to mention the matter of supporting the emperor in abandoning the queen.
Historian Zhong Hao said solemnly: "I am convinced by such a corrective approach! I will definitely fulfill the responsibility of supervising the queen. If the queen slacks off in the slightest and is ashamed of being a commoner, I will record it truthfully!"
Emperor Qianao slowly sat back on the throne and looked at the officials kneeling in the palace. "Women's affairs are trivial after all. The affairs of wives and concubines are never worth mentioning. But after all the concubines and concubines were dismissed, I suddenly felt that I was with you all."
My beloved has lost the bond... and is no longer close to you. What should I do?"
As he spoke, Di Qianao put his hand on his forehead, looking sad.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were all officials who had experienced the power of the court. No one understood that the emperor wanted everyone to show their loyalty.
Prime Minister Song clasped his hands and said: "Old minister, I am willing to sign the certificate of life and death, press the bloody fingerprint, and swear allegiance to the emperor to the death!"
Nalan Xiu echoed: "We are willing to send our three-year-old grandson to the emperor's boy scout camp, and he will be disciplined by the emperor! Riding the horse for the emperor is called a bond!"
This was all reached through night talks and discussions. The emperor does not hold the fate of his ministers in his hands, and indeed the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is somewhat weak.
Emperor Qian Ao said with a moved expression: "Prime Minister Song, Nalan Ai Qing, these two are so loyal to me, I am really moved! With Qing like you, I have nothing else to ask for!"
Haiyin took out the life and death certificate he had prepared early in the morning, and said to the other officials as if he had no intention of doing so: "Master Prime Minister, Minister of Dali Temple, you are loyal and loyal! This is a song and a praise!"
"As a minister, this is the basic understanding of serving the emperor!" Song Shanwen and Nalanxiu cut their fingers, put their names on the life and death signs, and pressed bloody finger prints to show their loyalty with blood.
Kangzhuang, Emperor Yuanrong, Master Xu and others followed, invisibly putting pressure on everyone.
The other officials looked at each other in shock and remained silent for a while. They were restrained from signing the life and death certificate, and they also felt distressed when they gave up one of their descendants to the military camp to give to the emperor as a bond between the emperor and his ministers.
Emperor Qianao said generously: "My dear friends, you don't have to worry too much. Whether it's life or death, whether you send your children and grandchildren to the military camp to be educated by me, or whether you serve as a companion for the prince and prince, it's all voluntary, not forced. Okay, now
Now that we have finished talking about our affairs, we can leave the court."
Di Qianao's tone was gentle and harmless.
However, Laoqing and Nighthawk are still holding their swords at the door of the palace, and the heavy door of Jinluan Palace is still tightly closed!
This puts the officials in a difficult position! If you want to leave, do you have to open the door yourself?
Who dares to leave without signing a life and death certificate? It is obvious that he has dissatisfaction with the emperor!
Anyone who does not hand over his grandson to the boy barracks and let the emperor brainwash and discipline him from an early age to become an emperor also has second thoughts about the emperor. Accompanying him to study and train is actually the quality and weakness that the emperor holds in his hands.
The key prime minister and the minister of Dali Temple, the two giants of politics and law, all took the lead in signing and offering their loyalty!
"All subordinates are voluntary! Your loyalty to the emperor can be proven by the sun and the moon!" So they all signed the oath of death. Although they complained in their hearts, they did not dare to sacrifice their sons for the sake of being led by Prime Minister Song and Nalan Xiu.
It's okay to have a daughter in the harem, but it's really heartbreaking to leave sons and grandsons behind. You have to be careful when doing things, because the emperor can grab them to death in a moment.
In the old dynasties, women were used as a bond to marry and mix blood. The emperor was the first to control and educate his children and grandchildren from an early age through specialized institutions.
After everyone had finished showing their loyalty, Hai Yin said in a friendly tone: "These accompanies and trainees have grown up with the princes and princes, and they have been used very well in every aspect. You can often see your children when you are thinking about them. Besides, if you don't rebel, it doesn't matter."
I’m so worried. You see, people like to joke when they are old, and they don’t want to be rebellious. They talk too much!”
After saying that, Haiyin slapped himself in the mouth, then folded up the life and death letters written in blood by all the officials, placed them in a brocade box, climbed up the golden ladder on the side, and placed the brocade box on the plaque of 'Upright and Bright'
after.
All the officials laughed with me, but my heart was full of mixed feelings. It is not easy to be a minister.
"It's snowing today and the weather is cool. Dear ladies, please put on your hats quickly. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you all around." Di Qianao said.
"Thank you, Emperor, for your sympathy!" The officials breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on their official hats. The hats were much heavier than before. When they got home, they had to discuss with their wives and mothers to send their youngest sons or grandsons to the children's barracks to bathe in the emperor's palace.
kindness.
Di Qianao raised his hand slightly to signal Haiyin.
Haiyin placed the blood of the officials, stood beside the king, and said loudly: "Open the gate of Jinluan Palace!"
"Yes." Nighthawk and Laoqing opened the heavy door of Jinluan Palace, and the sunlight poured in, making the palace a lot brighter.
All the officials came out of the palace one after another, and the cold wind invaded their bodies. They felt a biting chill. It turned out that they were already sweating through their thick clothes! The king was holding his head on his side!
Mr. Qingyuanzhou was walking at the back and was about to leave the palace.
Di Qianao called him out, "Qing Lao."
Mr. Qinglao paused and bowed, "I'm here."
"I actually like to drink... the first cup of tea." Di Qianao looked at him and smiled warmly: "The third cup of tea that my wife touches to warm her skin. Custom?"
Mr. Qing was suddenly sweating profusely. The emperor was trying to rectify the atmosphere in the harem today. He really didn't expect that my daughter was also a demonic trend in this unhealthy trend. It was really disgraceful to warm the tea next to her. He hurriedly said: "I am afraid! I must be afraid!"
