The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty
Chapter 365 First Court
At one o'clock in the morning, Qingyin, who had traveled to this small world, closed his eyes. Although he had taken a fitness pill, this body still needed to rest for a while to recover from its physiological sleep.
Two hours later.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up and attend court." The palace maid's soft but not low voice came from the bedside.
Qingyin opened her eyes and looked out the window at the darkness outside where no scene could be seen, with an expressionless face.
The court session in Daxia starts at five in the morning, which means that Emperor Qingyin has to get up at three in the morning to pack up and prepare for court.
It took Qingyin, who had just arrived, ten minutes to receive the memory and another half an hour to fall asleep. All in all, Emperor Qingyin had not even slept for two hours when he was woken up and had to prepare to go to court.
Qingyin: "..."
I'm sleepy, really sleepy! No wonder the original person was so grumpy all day long, couldn't sleep well, and someone poisoned him. His bad temper couldn't be entirely blamed on the poisoner.
Qingyin thought that once she became familiar with government affairs, the first thing she would do would be to change the time for attending court.
Looking at the personal palace maid waiting beside her with a cautious and fearful look on her face, Qingyin sighed and left the comfortable dragon bed.
"Well, get dressed."
"Yes." The palace maid who was responsible for waking His Majesty up showed a look of relief at having escaped a disaster.
His Majesty usually has a bad temper. If the palace maids attending court in the morning do not do something well, they will often be dragged away. But today, His Majesty seems to be much less worried and does not seem as irritable as usual.
The four palace maids dressed Qingyin skillfully and quietly. Qingyin only needed to stand still for a while, and the palace maids had changed her clothes quickly and skillfully.
Qingyin sighed a little.
As expected, everyone wants to be the emperor. It has to be said that the service you enjoy when facing the emperor is absolutely the highest level.
Qingyin enjoyed it so much that she closed her eyes for a while to relax.
The sedan chair for going to court has been arranged.
—
In the court, Qingyin looked at the court officials below the stage with an expressionless face.
He glanced and saw a few influential ministers in his peripheral vision.
The Great Xia Dynasty has now gone through three generations. Currently, there are three major forces in the court. One is the Lin family led by the prime minister, the other is the foreign surname Wang Wei Chengming led by military generals, and the last is the Chen family, a large clan that tracked down and surrendered voluntarily from the previous dynasty.
Let’s not talk about the Lin family first. How powerful is the Lin family, the prime minister’s mansion whose original body ascended the throne? The Chen family, which has been able to maintain its position in the previous dynasty and is also reused in the new dynasty, shows how smart the old fox Chen Helin is. And the king of a different surname, Wei Chengming, the soldiers under his command alone should not be underestimated.
Under such circumstances, the three families checked and balanced each other, and the court was relatively stable.
Qingyin observed the people below with her peripheral vision. According to the plot, Qingyin remembered what was about to happen and rubbed the ring in her hand.
"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." The eunuch's shrill and loud voice sounded for a while.
"I have a document..." An official who was about twenty years old was about to stand up, but before he could finish his words, a sharp voice behind him drowned out his voice.
The cavalryman who ran in knelt on the ground and said quickly, "Report, urgent, eight hundred miles away, the Northern Barbarians have occupied Anling County on our border. Now the Northern Barbarian Khan says that if our Great Xia agrees to marry a princess, we can return Anling County and retreat."
As the cavalry's voices died away, the atmosphere in the court became even more oppressive. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop clearly.
The minor official who had just wanted to report to the farmers on this year's planting and harvest felt the tension of the situation, sweat dripped down his back, and he consciously returned to the team, not daring to mention the trivial matter just now.
Qingyin didn't say anything. The officials in the audience looked at His Majesty without saying anything, and they also didn't say anything with different expressions.
Qingyin knocked on the dragon throne, her gorgeous features smiling. She looked at the suddenly quiet courtiers below with an ambiguous expression and said with a smile, "What do you think about the Northern Wilderness incident, my dear ministers?"
The young and gorgeous little emperor sat on the stage with a faint smile on his face, and no emotion could be seen in his heart.
There was no longer the usual gloom in his eyes, as if all the bad things had disappeared.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, vaguely realizing that the emperor above seemed a little different. His aura was more frightening, and his expression was even more unpredictable.
However, there were still a few brave officials who stood up and replied to Qingyin.
"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne. People's livelihood has not yet recovered, and the treasury is short of grain. That barbarian from the northern wilderness actually wants to marry. Why not choose a princess to go with you and let the land recover in peace?"
The old official babbled on.
Seeing that Qingyin didn't object, he talked more and more.
Qingyin smiled, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, and looked at the official quietly without saying a word.
In the previous life, the fall of the original dynasty also began from this time.
The Northern Wilderness Barbarians suddenly invaded the northern territory and occupied Anling County. It happened that the Northern Barbarians proposed a marriage alliance in exchange for withdrawal of troops. The court officials supported this idea one by one and chose a princess to go with the marriage alliance.
And that princess was the original body's elder sister, Princess Xiyue.
Thinking of the poor princess, Qingyin touched the ring and suddenly felt that it was time to replace the officials in the court.
Not long after the unification and stability, these officials became accustomed to the stability and lost their vigilance.
The official who was speaking, perhaps sensing something was amiss, knelt down trembling.
Qingyin looked at the large group of people kneeling down, a simple smile on her lips.
It's okay, she will help them get it back.
Qingyin turned to look at Wei Chengming, a king of a different surname who was also kneeling on the ground. He was in his thirties and in the prime of his life. He tapped his fingers lightly on the handle and asked, "Does King Jingyuan think so too?"
Wei Chengming stood up, his tall and handsome figure coldly looking at the officials who had just proposed marriage. He raised his head and looked up at the little emperor. When his eyes met the little emperor's beautiful face, he was stunned for a second, then quickly lowered his head and replied:
"Your Majesty, I believe that marriage is not an option. The Northern Wilderness barbarians occupied Anling with ulterior motives, and their proposal of marriage must have ulterior motives. I believe they should be punished."
Qing Yin nodded, then looked back at the group of people who had proposed the marriage earlier. He glanced coldly at the officials below who were bowing their heads and said with a smile, "Oh, a barbarian from the Northern Wilderness actually wants to marry our princess. How could our Xia Dynasty have fallen to such a state?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty dare not." A group of officials on the stage fell down and said in unison.
Especially the few who had just proposed the marriage, their bodies were shaking violently as if they were equipped with springs.
Qingyin was too lazy to look at those officials who had lost their manners. She waved her hand, and the guards on the stage gagged them and dragged them out.
