Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Speaking of this, Li Hongzao paused and said: "This topic is contradictory, and the sage didn't discuss it. I really can't say it right now..."

Zhang Zuolin laughed beside him and said, "That woman stumped Lansun. If my old Zhang guessed correctly, it must be because her husband is useless, or the family is poor, or there are other unspeakable secrets, and the family wants to withdraw the lawsuit!"

Li Hongzao shook his head and said, "This proposition is more than a problem for Li. Even if Mencius is reborn, he will not be able to make a conclusion: Virtue can ascend to heaven, and crime should go to earth. We have to ask the Jade Emperor and the King of Hades to discuss it..."

He made everyone laugh. Wu Peifu rolled his eyes and asked Li Hongzao, "Has Lan Sun seen the Jinhua case?"

"You mean the Jiang Liu family who was raped by evil young men and died unyielding?"

Wu Peifu nodded, and Li Hongzao said: "Of course I noticed. It's a pity that the martyr died after being insulted, so there is no way to set up an archway for her. When it comes to 'strength', it is completely qualified, but it misses the 'sense'." ', I feel sorry for her too. At that time, I approved Jinhua City to have a generous burial for this woman, and the local government also commended it, but the court couldn’t commend it. It happened that Pei Village was also there, so what happened to the five evil young men? Ministerial?"

"All four will be decided." Minister of Justice Liu Guangdi was also thinking about their issues. He seemed to have something on his mind. Looking at the fish swimming back and forth in the water, he said somewhat casually: "One death reprieve: he is the last one. One, and temporary impotence, the rest will be executed."

Hearing what he said, several ministers couldn't help but smile.Li Hongzao turned to Zaifeng and said: "This time Enke recruited scholars, there are several officials in the Ministry of Rites, all of whom are well-known direct ministers, but because of a small omission, they were dismissed by the emperor's decree. They are all famous Confucian officials. It’s a pity that you don’t need to do that. You are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of Enke scholars. When the emperor arrives later, please say a few good words for them. Enke scholars are a major national event. It’s a big mess, and occasionally there are a few mistakes, which are justifiable, and I can guarantee with my personality, Li, that they are all conscientious in their work, not negligent.”

Zaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "The Holy Majesty was furious about this matter, and even I was involved in it, and I was fined for half a year. Don't you know? I understand, we are also the chief examiners of Enke this year, what about you, Li Hongzao?" It's not implicated!"

Li Hongzao turned his face to see that everyone was chatting about other things, and gestured for Zaifeng to come with him.Zaifeng didn't understand what he was going to say, so he went behind a rockery with him, and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" Li Hongzao laughed and said, "I'll teach Fifth Master a secret that won't be passed on, and you will only be punished in the future. , I won’t be reprimanded. However, first of all, I will make an agreement with you three chapters, if one day I make a mistake in other matters, Fifth Master will also protect me!”

"Of course, but I don't understand you."

"You know why they were dismissed, why are you fined and reprimanded?"

"Something went wrong!"

Li Hongzao shook his head with a smile, saw Zaifeng looking at him in surprise, and said: "Tell Wu Ye a heartfelt word, if you continue to do business like this carefully, not only will you not be appreciated by the emperor, but you may be demoted as an official one day !"

"Huh?" Zaifeng knew very well that his imperial brother was his younger brother, and he had always supervised him very strictly. It would be fine for others to make the same mistake, but he, Zaifeng, would be severely punished if he committed the same mistake. "What do you mean?" look!"

"What kind of master is the emperor? He has profound knowledge, is shrewd and capable, and has been practiced throughout the ages. In some respects, he even surpassed any emperor in history. In terms of diligence, no emperor through the ages can compare!" Li Hongzao's expression Seeing that Zaifeng listened seriously, he added: "Because the emperor is too capable, naturally the supervisors are very strict. He is arrogant, and he can't pick out any faults with you. Aren't you more arrogant than the holy majesty?" '? So, it's not good to be too careful, 'too much is not enough', fifth master, do you understand this truth?"

Before he finished speaking, Zaifeng had already "understood" it as if he had been enlightened.There are countless loyal ministers through the ages who died vigorously without a place to bury them. The reason is that they made the emperor feel "smarter than me"!This article is not written in the Four Books and Five Classics: the emperor is shrewd, you have to be a little confused; the emperor is stupid, it is best for you to be more "confused", or simply be an idiot.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Li Hongzao secretly regretted that he had spoken too bluntly. Zaifeng had come to his senses, bowed to Li Hongzao, and said, "Thank you very much. These words are very reasonable. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!"

"Others say that I, Li Hongzao, are pedantic, but I am also well versed in the way of officialdom, but I just don't want to follow the crowd. This is human affection, and human affection is the law of heaven. It is not to instigate the fifth master to be mediocre and do nothing." Li Hongzao said with a smile: "The ancients It is often said that one should be wise and protect oneself, but an official cannot even protect himself, how can he assist the emperor to be the ruler of a generation?"

The two were talking, only to hear someone shouting in the distance: "The emperor is here——"

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both turned around to come out. Guan Xuqing had already got off the car at the Jiuqu Banqiao on the opposite bank, and walked over slowly.When he arrived at the Qiaotou Pavilion, Liang Qichao kowtowed first, and said in a loud voice: "The minister is waiting for the holy driver, and please greet the master!"

"Get up!" Guan Xuqing looked at a few confidant ministers, and said with a smile: "Although Yunsong Pavilion is cool, there is no wind, and it is more stuffy than here, so I called you to come—follow me into the Gongzi Palace Bar."

Everyone followed the emperor's back and entered the Gongzi hall step by step.They originally thought that the inside of the hall must be hotter than the outside, but only after entering did they realize that this "工" shaped hall is open from east to west, north to south, with a thick roof and an extra layer of patio in the middle, so that no matter how poisonous the sun is, it can't penetrate it. .The Xumizuo in the center is located at the intersection, no matter what the wind direction is, it will meet here. In order to prevent drafts from hurting people, tulle screens are surrounded on all sides, and the same color of dark blue gold bricks are polished so lightly that you can see them. They are all cool.Because the hall is deep, in order to increase the light, there are no calligraphy, paintings and furniture on the walls of all the aisles, and there are large glass mirrors as high as one person, with different colors and reflections. Even if a person enters, the whole hall feels full It was a shaking figure.

When several people came to the hall, not only did they lose their sweat, but they also felt a little cold with the cool wind.Guan Xuqing went to the inner hall to change his clothes, and several ministers stood in front of the screen of the throne, a bit like a fool entering the city, looking around in a daze.The emperor changed his clothes and came out of the corner door, and knelt down in unison.

Guan Xuqing only wore a gauze robe before entering the hall, but when he came out he had already put on a golden dragon coat, and Xiao Fuzi accompanied him.He seemed very easy-going, walked a few steps casually, looked at Li Hongzao and said, "Lan Sun, you are still very energetic, Lian Po is not old, can you still have a meal? Has your old illness improved recently? I ordered two imperial physicians to be sent to the imperial hospital. People, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent twenty eunuchs to your house to serve you, have they all gone?"

Li Hongzao hastily kowtowed his head to thank him, and said: "The treatment given by the emperor is that of a prince, and I absolutely dare not be. The eunuchs were sent back, but the imperial physicians did not dare to go back, leaving one to live in the minister's house. In fact, the minister's illness is not important. The medicine given by the emperor is very effective, please don't worry about the body of the minister."

"Bu Wu, do you still remember the outcome of the military meeting we held a while ago?" Guan Xuqing asked Xu Shichang.

Xu Shichang said: "Naturally, I remember that the Ministry of the Army has sent a commission to Chiang Kai-shek in accordance with the emperor's will. Chiang Kai-shek has already left, and I believe he will reach the Middle East within two days. In addition, Feng Yuxiang has also received a telegram from the Ministry of the Army and is on his way to Beijing. Coming back, most of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army gathered in Iraq for day and night training, ready to launch a fatal blow to Turkey at any time."

"Okay, okay, let me remind you that Turkey is a channel to open up Europe and Asia, and it must win. I won't say more about the rest, and I am waiting to hear your good news." While speaking, Guan Xuqing took his little brother with him. Fuzi left Yingtai, went straight across Banqiao and looked down at his pocket watch. It was past six o'clock in the afternoon.Xiao Fuzi followed behind the emperor, and the eunuchs stood outside the gazebo with their hands down, waiting for orders. They took a step forward and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Master wants to go to Tanningju."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, take a few steps over there, you just carry Luanjia over there and wait."

"Master, look at this day, it's going to rain!" Xiao Fuzi said with a smile, "Besides, Xia Xue, the maid from the empress's side, has come over twice and asked the master when she will come. If she goes late, I'm afraid The empress is thinking about it. The master is also very tired discussing politics, why don't you drive over there."

Guan Xuqing said expressionlessly: "I just want to walk around because I am tired from sitting. What politics are discussed is not something you, a slave, ask. Turn around and tell the people below that this garden is bigger and managed better than the Forbidden City." Even more strict. I have never softened my heart when I killed eunuchs!" He took a breath, and continued to walk along the Banqiao, only picking the path in the forest to walk in the direction of Danningju.Little Fuzi and the others didn't dare to get too close, and they didn't dare to stay too far away. They followed the emperor's shadow, stopping and walking, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The sky soon turned cloudy, and there was still a faint rumble of thunder from the west, but the old trees in the garden covered the sky with thick shade, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.Guan Xuqing was full of thoughts, thinking about one by one, but he couldn't figure out why his heart was so heavy.Looking up, I can see that the forest is getting darker and darker. Unknown birds are fluttering and chirping in the branches, and the insects in the grass are also chirping quickly. The thick green leaves cover the pebble path into a path Thin lines, more and more gloomy and gloomy.

Will of the Empire Chapter 863 Vigorous love

Guan Xuqing suddenly saw a few people walking this way with electric lanterns not far in front, he quickened his pace and saw a maid in front of him, carrying a lantern and leading a person, after a careful look, Guan Xuqing couldn't help calling out: "It's you!"

The man raised his head and saw that it was the emperor, his pale face became even paler, he had no place to put his hands and feet for a moment, squatted down and said softly, "Master, all blessings!"

"Retire if you have nothing to do." Guan Xuqing waved his hand, and everyone immediately retreated to the distance with interest.

"Go, talk in the moonlight field, it's bright there."

"Right now..."

"What are you afraid of? People seem to live for rules and face. If you can really put aside your face, you can live freely. If others dare to talk nonsense, I will kill a few to see!" Speaking of this, Guan Xuqing raised his eyebrows. They all stood up, took each other's hand and walked towards Haizi.At this time, both the rain and the wind seemed to stop for these two people, and the moonlight slanted down, making people's brows and hair like snow.

The man didn't speak, and followed him to the edge of Haizi, looking at the moonlight like silver water, the two of them stared at each other for a long time, neither of them spoke.The time has changed and the location has changed, but neither of them has changed. A few dim palace lanterns in the distance reflect their figures.

"Jingfang, are you... are you okay? I heard that you gave birth. I have been restless these past few months. I really want to see you and the child, but... well, etiquette is all in the way. Sooner or later One day I'm going to put aside all these harmful etiquette."

Jingfang threw herself into the emperor's arms and sobbed softly: "I...I miss the emperor so much...you don't know how difficult it was for Yi'er to be born. He was not at home at the time, and you couldn't come to see him. I...I'm so miserable..."

"I miss you too..." Guan Xuqing held her shoulder with one hand, and stroked her long hair tenderly with the other, "I will never forget you wherever I go, and I will never forget you. I always miss you, and my heart aches Looking at you...Pu Yi was born, did Zai Yi see the problem, is there any trouble for you?"

Jingfang shook her head and said: "Fortunately, the man just wanted to be cheerful for a while, who would remember those things after the past, he didn't have any doubts about Yi'er, he just regarded it as his own flesh and blood, and the pain can't be over. .”

"You underestimate all the men in the world. Whoever said that men only want to be happy for a while, I said that you must be responsible for it."

Jingfang raised her head, the moonlight was so white that she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.Suddenly, two drops of cold tears fell on her cheeks, and she asked in panic: "Master, master! What's wrong with you? What you said just now... I don't understand, do you want to marry..." She didn't agree with the latter words anyway. Dare to say it, she feels that she is dreaming, how is this possible, the other party is the emperor of the empire, who holds a territory of [-] miles, and controls the life and death of a billion Asians. What is she, with a husband and children, at most she is the emperor It's nothing more than his lover, how can he expect the other party to be married?

Guan Xuqing caressed her face, held her tightly in his arms, and suddenly said in an unusually firm voice, "If you marry, you will marry, what's the big deal, I open up territories, and the world can be brought down, but I can't Marry the one I love?"

"Ah!" Jingfang didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing. She was excited and scared at the same time, and said timidly: "Your majesty, but there are queens, concubines De, Lan, and so many concubines in the harem. Will you agree, and how will the courtiers and the people talk about it, if you really do this, they will say that you are a faint..."

Guan Xuqing looked up and laughed loudly: "Defending the mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan. Even if I have great abilities, can I still stop the mouth of the people of the world? Why do you care about it? Why do you think so much? In the world, thinking about the past and the future will only make myself more painful, and what great things can be achieved, I am the ruler of the empire, I can't be the master of this matter, and the emperor doesn't have to do it anymore!"

"But, there's Zaiyi, he..."

"Zaiyi?" Guan Xuqing's eyes flickered, and he held Jingfang's shoulders to stare at her eyes and said, "Is Zaiyi a good husband? If he is a good husband, how could he be so indifferent to you for a long time? In my eyes, Zaiyi is not a problem at all for attracting bees and attracting butterflies outside, even getting involved with the rebel Qiu Jin."

"People will say that this servant is a slut who doesn't follow the rules and seduces the emperor...and betrays her husband..."

"Three cardinal principles and five constant principles, three obedience and four virtues are all nonsense of the ancients. Why can't people do what they want to do? Dare to love, dare to hate, dare to think and dare to do is the true nature of a man, and it is also the rule set by me."

"But Zaiyi is still my husband, we can't get past him, I think it's better..." Jingfang said hesitantly.

Guan Xuqing let out a long breath, stared at Jingfang and said slowly: "I only ask you, if there is no Zaiyi, would you stay with me?"

Jingfang's eyes flickered, she shook her head and said, "I don't know... I don't know... I really don't know..." She seemed to think of something suddenly, took a breath, stared at the emperor and said: " You... do you want to kill Zaiyi..."

Guan Xuqing smiled wryly, and said: "I dare not say that I am a wise king, at least I understand some principles of right and wrong. Even the emperor can't rob someone's wife or kill someone's husband for no reason. That's a matter of nature."

Only then did Jing Fang breathe a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Your Majesty, how many women's love can a man hold in his heart?"

Guan Xuqing thought for a while before saying, "There is only one, and that is your sister, Jingfen."
