Chapter 1411: The Queen (34)
While the little emperor was eating, he saw the man sitting opposite, his expression a little stiff.
Isn't he preparing to usurp his throne in the imperial city?
Why here?
No longer usurping the throne?
"Your Majesty." Rong Ji asked politely, "Is there something wrong with Wei Chen?"
The little emperor put down his chopsticks and said, "Why is General Rong here?"
"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have been away from Beijing for several months. The ministers are worried and come here to escort them." Rong Shi's reason was so legitimate that the little emperor almost believed it.
"I will let you supervise the country!"
"The Prime Minister is still here, your Majesty, don't worry."
"..."
The little emperor finally convinced himself that he would not return to the imperial city and become an idle young man.
Anyway, the queen mother has a lot of money, so it's okay for him to be a dandy.
Now Rong Ji suddenly appears, and the dream is shattered instantly.
The little emperor was so sad that he didn't even eat anything and ran away in a sulk.
However, he came back soon, sitting on the table and staring at Rong Shi.
Rong Ji: "..."
Chuzheng didn't know why the little emperor was so mad, but it didn't stop her from eating.
The little emperor waited for Chuzheng to finish eating, then snorted coldly and left aggressively.
Chuzheng: "..."
It's not easy to understand when the child is older.
-
Rong Ji stayed like this, because the little emperor was there, and Rong Ji had a room by himself.
The little emperor was like a ghost, appearing from time to time and looking at him with strange eyes.
Rong Ji didn't know where he had offended the little emperor... He had no idea that Chuzheng had sold him to the little emperor.
On this day, the little emperor popped his head out from behind the pillar and quietly asked Rong Shi, who was practicing his sword below.
"General Rong, aren't you going back?"
The sword glowing with cold light formed a beautiful sword flower in the air. The man holding the sword turned his wrist and slung the sword behind his back, showing his outstanding temperament and peerless elegance.
The man's eyebrows remained unchanged and he replied in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "Your Majesty, I am here to protect you and the Queen Mother."
"Ah."
The little emperor sneered and fluttered his sleeves in style: "Yangde, let's go."
Rong Ji: "..."
Chuzheng strolled over from the other side and saw Rongshi standing in the middle of the courtyard.
"Rong Kill."
Rong Ji, probably out of conditioned reflex, turned around and saluted: "Queen Mother."
Chuzheng felt at ease and walked down the steps: "What are you doing?"
"Wei Chen just met His Majesty."
"Huh?" What then?
"Your Majesty... it's a bit strange." Rong Ji didn't know how to describe it.
The little emperor's behavior these days is really weird, he is elusive and appears out of nowhere.
Chuzheng sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and spoke out the little emperor's thoughts: "He thought that if you wanted to rebel in the imperial city, he wouldn't have to go back."
Rong Ji: "..."
The late emperor was just a son like the little emperor. Unlike other emperors, he was born with several brothers eyeing each other. If you don't fight for him, you don't know how he died in the end.
He grew up being pampered and pampered, and his thoughts on fighting for power and gain were much less intense.
Before the late emperor left, he spent the whole day thinking about how to have fun and how to be a dandy.
"General Rong, why don't you go back and rebel." Chu Zheng encouraged Rong Ji.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare." Rong Ji suddenly bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, how can Wei Chen dare to rebel?"
"You don't have any ambitions anymore?"
"Wei Chen's ambition is to be the Queen Mother."
Rong Shi responded fluently, as if he had been specially trained.
"Then give me a hug."
"??" What does this have to do with their conversation.
"Hurry up." Chuzheng urged him.
"The Queen Mother..." Rong Ji whispered: "Can I hug you again at night?"
Chuzheng: "No."
Night is night and now is now, how can they be confused.
Don't try to lie to me, little thing!
"..."
Rong Ji looked around and saw that there were not many people in the mansion, but because there were not many, no one knew that someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Under Chu Zheng's gaze, Rong Ji could only walk over and give her a hug.
Just for a moment.
Before Chuzheng could do anything, Rong Ji had already let go of her.
-
Spring begins.
The winter snow melts and the earth revives.
The little emperor returned to the imperial city with the Queen Mother's coffin.
The Queen Mother contracted a cold on her way back to Beijing and fell ill. She died before returning to the imperial city.
All the ministers in the court were shocked.
The next month, General Rong, who had already gained power over the entire government, resigned.
The little emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at the huge Jinluan Palace, deserted and feeling that something was missing.
He turned to look at the curtain that had not been removed, and it took him a long time to leave the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you going to the imperial study?"
Eunuch Yangde followed the little emperor and asked cautiously.
The little emperor hummed and walked towards the imperial study room.
What was waiting for him in the royal study room was the mountain-high Zhezi, which gave him a headache.
"Is the royal sister's wedding coming soon?" the little emperor suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's the ninth day of this month."
The little emperor nodded: "Go find some good things and send them to the emperor."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of it."
The little emperor looked at the words on the fold and murmured: "The queen should be back soon."
On the day of Princess Yudie's wedding, the little emperor saw her off in person, and later went to his residence to preside over the wedding in person.
However, the little emperor did not see Chuzheng, only a few large boxes sent back by Chuzheng - all for Princess Yudie.
The little emperor stood nearby unhappily, considering whether to snatch a box away.
Eunuch Yangde said from the side: "Your Majesty, yours has been sent back to the palace."
"real?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense."
The little emperor was now happy that his mother had not forgotten him.
The little emperor happily went back to see what Chuzheng had given him, but when he opened it, there were all books... except books!
The queen mother is a devil!
"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue would like to see you."
"No." The little emperor angrily slammed the notebook: "He asked me for money as soon as he came. Where do I have so much money!"
"..."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance refused to leave, and the little emperor grumbled angrily for a long time, but he still had to see him.
Just as the little emperor said, the Minister of Household Affairs came to ask for money again.
"I have no money!"
"But... Your Majesty, it was always..."
"What are they?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance shivered and answered bravely.
Only then did the little emperor know that Chu Zheng had given her a lot of money. During that time, the things added to the palace, as well as all the expenses, came from her.
Little Emperor: "..."
The little emperor kicked out the Minister of Household Affairs.
Two words - no money.
-
Three years after the young emperor took charge, he established an inspection department to deal with corruption among courtiers.
For a time, there was a lot of talk about corrupt officials everywhere, and they kept their tail between their legs, fearing that people from the Inspection Department would come to their door.
These people don't go out in an open and honest manner, but act secretly, and they may suffer disaster if they are not careful.
Three years after the establishment of the Inspection Department, officials from all over the country worked conscientiously for the people, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the treasury was full, and the world was at peace.
Chuzheng was very worried about this.
The little emperor didn't even write to ask for money!
"Isn't it good not to write a letter? It proves that Your Majesty has grown up." Rong Shi said: "This is a good thing."
"I have money." As a mother, she can take care of her son's worries!
"...I've always wanted to ask, where do you get so much money?"
"Given by the late emperor."
Rong Ji chuckled: "Why did the late emperor give you so much money?"
Chuzheng opened her mouth and said nonsense: "Private money."
Rong Ji: "..."
Rong Ji never asked Chu Zheng where she got her money, but she never stopped making money.
