The three of them are all smart people. When the emperor said this, all three of them understood that something big might happen in the court meeting three days later, so they all nodded solemnly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter what happens, there will never be any changes in the capital!"

The governor also bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, the governor's mansion is always on the side of the emperor."

After repeated confirmation, the emperor was relieved, and said to the three people: "Since this is the case, I am relieved."

After a busy day, the sky was completely dark at this moment, and the emperor waved his hand tiredly.

"Forget it, that's all for today, you all go back first."

The three of them bowed their hands to the emperor respectfully: "The ministers and others will leave."

After the three of them left, the emperor also left the study and returned to his dormitory. After a busy day today, his 14-year-old body couldn't take it anymore, so he just lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes and thought about the matter before and after, then opened his eyes and let out a breath slowly, muttering to himself.

"Teacher, I have calculated many times according to the method you taught, and there should be no omissions."

He frowned slightly: "At least there won't be any major omissions."

Thinking of this, the little emperor felt relaxed. He waved to the little maid next to him, and said calmly, "Bring a basin of water, I want to soak my feet."

The little maid nodded clumsily, and hurriedly went down to fetch water.

The fact that she was able to serve in the dormitory tonight was bought by the old eunuch for fifty thousand coins, so she should naturally cherish it.

So, the young court lady hurriedly fetched a basin of hot water, knelt down to wash the little emperor's feet.

The emperor was a little tired, and didn't pay much attention to the face-to-face maid. After washing his feet, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The little maid stood by the bed and waited on her.

According to the rules of Weiyang Palace, she has to stand by the bed for the whole night. Although it is hard work, it is a job that all the maids in the palace dream of doing.

However, the "Little Palace Maid" had obviously never experienced this kind of hardship, and after only standing for an hour or two, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She secretly glanced at the sleeping emperor.

When she came from that remote palace, someone once told her that the emperor once met her in the harem and fell in love at first sight.

So the emperor sent an old eunuch to look for her in the harem, and when he found her, he asked her to sneak into Weiyang Palace disguised as a court lady.

She didn't hesitate for a long time. After all, whether to stay a widow in that deserted palace all her life or come out to fight for her future is a good multiple choice question.

Originally, after she agreed, she was still skeptical, but the old eunuch took her to Weiyang Palace and arranged her to serve beside the emperor, so she was relieved and believed it was true.

However, the "little palace lady" at this time is a little puzzled. Why does this new emperor seem to not recognize her at all, and is completely indifferent to her?

She frowned and thought about it, and finally sighed slightly in her heart.

"Maybe he's too tired..."

So she just stood there in the emperor's bedroom.

By midnight, she was already yawning.

However, this night is not destined to be peaceful.

In the middle of the night, just after midnight, a big eunuch dressed in red suddenly walked into the emperor's bedroom with small steps, knelt down beside the emperor's bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the two ministers and the ministers from the Shangshutai Zaifu, I want to see you outside..."

Anyone who was woken up in the middle of the night would be somewhat unhappy. The emperor opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Xiao Zheng who was kneeling beside his bed, and asked with a frown, "Who wants to see me?"

Xiao Zheng knelt on the ground and repeated it.

The emperor sneered slightly: "These old fellows, what are they doing in the palace without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Zheng smiled wryly: "I don't know."

Emperor Yuanzhao shook his head and said, "Let them in."

The two assistant ministers and several prime ministers came together. No matter what time, the emperor had to see him. In the early years when Emperor Wu commanded the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, as long as there was an army report sent to the capital, no matter what time it was, Emperor Wu would Get up and look at the military newspaper.

The following two generations of emperors in Chengde Taikang can also be said to be diligent.

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and asked, "Should we meet here or in the study?"

The emperor yawned greatly.

"Just stay here, too lazy to run away."

"The slaves obey."

Xiao Zheng retreated respectfully, and not long after, he led Prime Minister Shen Kuan, Doctor Yushi Yan Shouzhuo, and several other ministers from Shangshutai to the bedroom of Weiyang Palace.

They respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the soft couch, looked at these old men who rushed in rashly, and sneered in his heart.

You can only be proud for three more days at most!

Of course, you can't say that on the surface at this moment, the emperor yawned a lot, and asked, "It's so late, why are you entering the palace?"

Shen Kuan and the others looked at each other, and in the end Shen Kuan gritted his teeth, walked forward, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers risked their lives to enter the palace to speak, please think of the ancestral temple and the country, take into account the virtues of the ancestors, Come back soon!"

Emperor Yuanzhao was even more confused. He frowned and asked, "What does Prime Minister Shen mean by this? When did I corrupt my ancestors' virtue?"

Shen Kuan glanced at Yan Shouzhuo, who sighed, stepped forward to kneel on the ground, and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I will each receive a letter tonight, in which I said some bad things about Your Majesty..."

After finishing speaking, he took out the letter from his sleeve, put his hands in his palms, and said respectfully, "Please read it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned and asked Xiao Zheng to hand over the letter. After a brief glance, the young man threw the paper on the ground and patted the table.

He was furious.

"Nonsense! When did I use my son to deceive my mother and fornicate the harem?"

He glanced at these old men angrily, and said angrily: "Who wrote this thing? I will ask the Tianmu Supervisor to investigate. After finding out the truth, I will destroy the other three clans!"

"Your Majesty calm down..."

All the prime ministers and ministers bowed down together, Shen Kuan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is pure and good, so naturally he would not do such a thing, but if this letter spreads among the public, it will greatly affect His Majesty's reputation."

He turned his head to look at Shen Kuan, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa, this letter says that there are concubines of the late emperor in your Majesty's bedroom, and Grandpa is familiar with the affairs of the harem. Please find them all and recognize them."

"It's good to return His Majesty's innocence."
