184. Nine Thousand Years Old and Little Empress 2
On the second day, Zhou Zekai left Tai Chi Hall early and came to the Xingde Palace where the emperor waited. The acting emperor, Chen Jian'an, had already been waited on inside, and came out in a golden dragon robe with his sleeves flung. When he saw Zhou Zekai standing there in a brocade red robe, he immediately walked towards Zhou Zekai with frowns .
"Mingxu, didn't you say that you don't want to wait here for me in the morning? You are already afraid of the cold, so you can let other people do this kind of thing."
The first emperor of the Jin Dynasty was called Emperor Xuan of the Founding of the Jin Dynasty. When he came to Chen Jian'an, it was just like Chen Jian'an's name. To get the throne is to rely on Zhou Zekai, not to mention... the relationship between the two, is it that kind of relationship between a prince and an eunuch?
Others only saw that Emperor Jian'an doted on Zhou Zekai, who was nine thousand years old, but they never knew that Zhou Zekai, an eunuch, was born in the Zhou family. He betrayed the family because of Emperor Jian'an's relationship, and became an eunuch after being framed. It was a pain in Emperor Jian'an's heart.
"Your Majesty, I am well aware of my body, but I just heard from Wang Daxi that your Majesty has insomnia and dreams recently, and it is always difficult to rest. I am worried."
Zhou Zekai bowed his hands to the emperor. In front of the emperor Chen Jian'an, the relationship between the two was like a confidant, and they rarely guarded against it.
"You~ you know that you are worried about me, don't worry, my body is fine, it's because of the recent snowstorm, the people have been displaced, and I can sleep peacefully again?"
The two walked towards the imperial study room in the front hall. It was pitch black outside. The eunuch and maid who held the lamps saw the two come out and knelt down on both sides. In this palace, the only person who can walk with the emperor is the nine thousand-year-old up!
"Your Majesty, the measures to deal with the disaster have been distributed. I believe that the people will be able to rebuild their homes after receiving the relief money. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Mentioning the wanton snow disaster, Zhou Zekai also frowned. The two of them were somewhat similar at the moment. Emperor Jian'an looked a little bad at the moment, and his tone became a little gloomy in an instant.
"Hmph, it would be great if those people all thought like Ming Xu, but those are all dog officials who only know how to get money out of their own pockets!"
This time the snowstorm happened all over the place, and some places were particularly serious. Usually disaster relief would be done with money and effort, but when the snowstorm came out, all the officials stood up and shouted for poverty, and only Zhou Zekai stood up to entrust him with food And all the taxes from the past three years have been used for disaster relief, which made Chen Jian'an almost jump in anger.
In other words, the founding of the Jin Dynasty was only forty-five years old, and the aristocratic families hugged each other, how could they think highly of their Chen family who came out of troubled times? Back then Zhou Zekai was kicked out of the family because he had a close relationship with Chen Jian'an, so he was warned by other aristocratic families and even made an eunuch. As the saying goes, there are only century-old families, but no century-old royal family. In the eyes of those noble families, Chen Jian'an, the emperor, is looked down upon.
Nowadays, half of the aristocratic families in the imperial court accounted for it. In this special period, everyone didn't think about how to save the people of Liming, but thought about how to make the country rich! After reading the notes sent by the dark guard, Chen Jian'an was so angry that he couldn't sleep.
The two soon came to the imperial study room. Chen Jian'an sat on a chair, and when he saw the booklets on the table, they were one head and two big.
"Ming Xu, hurry up and help me take a look, look at the faces of these aristocratic families! Could it be that the people of Liming are worthless in their hearts?"
Zhou Zekai was also in a bad mood. He sat on a chair beside him, picked up the memorial on the table and read it. For so many years, he has become accustomed to reading the memorial together with Chen Jianan. Every time he finished reading it, he would mark the important Come out, and leave the rest to Chen Jian'an, which can be regarded as the position of the general secretary.
Besides, apart from the friendship they had back then, the reason why the two of them have the current relationship is because Zhou Zekai is over 30 years old and still alone.
The two sat there quietly processing the memorial, and the eunuch beside him quietly brought pastries and tea. For an emperor, eating breakfast is also a very luxurious thing.
After an unknown amount of time, a memorial was thrown to the ground by Chen Jian'an with a bang, and he was already furious at this moment.
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!! These people are simply insulting me! They are insulting our Chen family!!!"
Wang Daxi on the side twitched his eyebrows in fright, and quickly looked at Zhou Zekai who was still sitting there. Even after so many years, he still felt that Young Master Zhou was still as handsome as before.
Zhou Zekai also put down the memorial in his hand at this moment, stepped forward to pick up the memorial that fell on the ground, opened it for a look, and frowned.
"Your Majesty, this royal family is really deceiving people too much. They even asked His Majesty to marry Qingfang Emperor Ji to his youngest son. That youngest son of the Wang family is a playboy who only knows how to ask for flowers. He is really not suitable for Qingfang Emperor Ji."
This royal family is an extremely capable family in the aristocratic family. Now it is too shameless to threaten the emperor to betroth Qingfang Emperor Ji to his youngest son because of disaster relief.
"Ming Xu, I originally wanted to save the Wang family some face this morning, but it seems unnecessary. Let me release all the news you prepared earlier!!!"
Chen Jian'an felt powerless. When he was a prince, he wanted to make friends with aristocratic families, but after becoming the emperor, he found that the hands of these aristocratic families were stretched too far...
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Zekai very much agreed with Chen Jian'an's approach. He could not back down when facing these aristocratic families. A secret guard organization served by the emperor Chen Jian'an, there are now about 8,000 people in the Taiji Hall on the surface, and Zhou Zekai has also trained a lot of secret agents in private to investigate officials and aristocratic families.
After sulking for a while, Chen Jian'an continued to read the memorial. Although he was angry, he still had to deal with official business. When he saw one of the papers, he was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but turned his head to the side and sat there for approval. Memorial to Zhou Zekai.
Even though seventeen years have passed, Chen Jian'an still can't forget the scene when he met the young master of the Zhou family for the first time. At that time, Zhou Zekai was wearing a red robe, and he had already read poetry at the age of fourteen. Books, which can compete with the Confucian scholars, made Chen Jian'an, who is not well-qualified, very envious. Because of this envy, he made friends with the young son of the Zhou family, but he never thought that it would cause Zhou Zekai to become the kind of person he is today. end...
Since Chen Jian'an personally ordered Zhou Zekai to wear a red robe in this palace, all the women in the palace, even the queen, are not allowed to wear a red robe. This is Chen Jian'an's guilt towards Zhou Zekai, and he wants to use this red robe again and again Remind yourself that the other person is what they are today because of you.
If he hadn't met him back then, I'm afraid Zhou Zekai would still be the glorious young master of the Zhou family...
"Mingxu..."
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Chen Jian'an looked at Zhou Zekai, and muttered Zhou Zekai's words.
"His Majesty?"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Zekai raised his head, looked at the man whose eyes were suddenly filled with guilt, and smiled secretly in his heart, feeling that it was worth living in this world to have a friend like this.
"The Zhou family has signed up again, and wants to enter the palace to see how you are... What do you think?"
In front of Zhou Zekai, this emperor who is always going forward in the court is always a little guilty and sad, especially now that he is full of children and grandchildren, but his best friend is alone, this makes this emperor cherish Zhou Zekai's existence even more.
"Your Majesty, it's the old days, and the subject is no longer the Zhou family's Kai, it's better not to meet each other."
Hearing the news of Zhou's family suddenly, Zhou Zekai felt a sudden dull pain in his chest. The influence from his body made him sore for an instant, but since he followed Chen Jian'an, he I can't go back to Zhou's house anymore, now goodbye, why bother?
It's just that the little frown fell into Chen Jian'an's eyes, and he felt guilty again. He deeply felt that he shouldn't bring up this topic. When something like this happened to Mingxu back then, the Zhou family was able to ignore it cruelly. Now He understands Ming Xu's behavior, but it still feels uncomfortable.
While the two were talking, there was a report from the little eunuch outside, usually such a report would only come when there was a rush, so the chief eunuch Wang Daxi raised his voice quickly.
"Xuan!!!"
After finishing speaking, a young eunuch walked in lightly, knelt down on the ground, and held a sealed letter in his hand against his head.
"Report to the emperor! Daoist Qingxu of Taiyin Mountain has sent a special letter. I hope His Majesty will personally sign it, and Daoist Qingxu will arrive in the capital in three days."
It is a bit strange that Chen Jianan received a letter from Master Qingxu at this moment. The Jin Dynasty believes that this Master Qingxu is a master of Taoism. Only major national events will appear. The last time Chen Jianan saw this master was two It has been more than ten years, but now he never thought that he would still have the chance to meet this expert.
"Pass it up."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Daxi on the side hurried over and took the envelope from the young eunuch. After arriving in front of Chen Jian'an, he opened it under Chen Jian'an's signal, and handed it to Chen Jian'an after confirming that it was all right.
Chen Jian'an had been very curious for a long time. He didn't know what letter this master would give him, and whether it was related to the current snow disaster. After taking the letter, he hurriedly read it.
"The greedy wolf descended to earth, supported by Wenqu, and now there is an emperor, known as Wuyi."
These eight words made Chen Jian'an look confused, but Zhou Zekai who was at the side had already understood the current situation, and sat there calmly and continued to criticize the memorial.
The person who made his wish was an imperial concubine, who was born with supernatural powers, but because of her body as a woman, she was depressed and frustrated, and was even abused and humiliated. Finally, she was sent to marry by the state of Jin.
Her wish is to be born an emperor, so that if others can sit on the throne, so can she! ! !
