Chapter 1596 Be an emperor again?

Although Empress Zheng was very polite to Shen Yue, she knew nothing about Shen Yue.

Seeing that Zhao Ji fell into silence again, Empress Zheng said a little nervously, "The official said it was right, Qiaoyun was delicate and well-behaved, and offered to marry Mr. Shen."

Zhao Ji said "hmm".

Empress Zheng was puzzled by Zhao Ji's intentions, and then said softly: "This concubine bestows the Jinyun Palace on Qiao Cairen as a reward." After finishing speaking, Empress Zheng felt a little uneasy, "Concubine made her own decisions, please forgive me. "

Zhao Ji only asked Empress Zheng to choose Emperor Ji to marry Shen Yue, and at the same time treated Shen Yue kindly. Empress Zheng got this order, but she was actually confused.

But for some things, people who know how to do things will do it more quickly without further instructions.

There is no doubt that the emperor attached great importance to the appointment.

Empress Zheng saw that many imperial concubines were very indifferent to Shen Yue. Although she knew human nature, she was afraid that Shen Yue would be dissatisfied, so she rewarded Qiao Cairen a lot, expressing her approval and solemnity to this matter, but she did not discuss it with Zhao Ji, and did not discuss it with Zhao Ji without authorization. The distribution of the palace, although Jinyun Palace is where her daughter Zhao Huer lives, but it is somewhat inconsistent with the rules, so I still have to tell Zhao Ji to avoid future troubles.

Zhao Ji murmured, "The queen is indeed very wrong."

Empress Zheng's heart sank slightly, and she knelt down on the ground, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Between husband and wife, in order to get closer, she often called Zhao Ji the official family, but the emperor was furious, and she immediately changed back to the official name.

Seeing that Empress Zheng was terrified, Zhao Ji was stunned, "Get up and talk."

Empress Zheng got up anxiously, and the palace man beside her said softly, "Empress, Your Majesty is not blaming the empress for rewarding Mr. Shen's Jinyun Palace privately, but feels that the empress should have rewarded him more."

Empress Zheng was surprised and glanced at the palace man.

The man in the palace was called Li Bin, who was originally an eunuch in the palace, but recently he gained Zhao Ji's trust and stayed by Zhao Ji's side all the time.

A palace man was suspected of being disrespectful when he said such words to the queen, but Zhao Ji didn't take it as disobedience, and murmured, "Yes, Li Bin is right. The queen should reward Shen Yue more to show respect."

Respect?

Empress Zheng was very surprised when she heard these two words.She felt that what she did today was beyond the etiquette, which is why the emperors were confused, but Zhao Ji still thought she was not grand enough?

It can be seen that the expressions of Zhao Ji and Li Bin, when it comes to Shen Yue, are all solemn... It can even be said that the expressions are in awe. Empress Zheng dared not question, but said, "I know my mistake."

The palace was silent.

Empress Zheng said, "Qiao Cairen's status is not high. If the sage holds high esteem, in order to show his importance, Qiao Cairen can be canonized. For example, the title of Cairen is... Shurong or something like that."

Zhao Ji murmured, "If Qiaoyun can marry Shen Yue, how can her mother be named Shurong?" Before Queen Zheng reduced her rank, Zhao Ji said, "At least it should be Concubine Shu."

Empress Zheng was stunned.

In fact, the harem and the court are similar, but the ability is second, and the promotion of status mostly depends on the trust of the emperor and time.

Cairen is considered fifth-class in the harem, Shurong is second-class in the harem, and concubine Shu is already in the first-class ranks.

According to the rules, the titles of the women in the harem are also gradual. Even if the emperor loves a woman, he must increase the title in order, so that many women in the harem will not complain.

It is by no means easy to balance a woman's psychology.

After all, the emperor is a person, unless he is stupid and violent, he will usually take care of the emotions of the concubines next to him.

It is extremely rare for Empress Zheng to suggest that Qiao Cairen be promoted from the fifth class to the second class, but unexpectedly Zhao Ji seldom mentioned Qiao Cairen on weekdays, but this time he actually wanted to promote Qiao Cairen to Concubine Shu?
From fifth class to first class?
Empress Zheng doesn't need to object to this, I'm afraid the courtiers who talk about etiquette will also object.

But Zhao Ji has always acted as he pleases, and he will certainly not listen to the courtiers' suggestions.

Zhao Ji is not considered to be fond of Qiao Cairen, needless to say, this kind of behavior is still because of Shen Yue.

Looking at Zhao Ji's appearance, if she didn't take into account the mood of her queen, it would be best to directly promote Qiao Cairen to be a queen, which would be in line with her wishes.

When Empress Zheng thought about this, she felt slightly uncomfortable, but she said immediately, "If the Holy Majesty values ​​Shen Yue, it would be good to just promote him. After marrying the emperor concubine, Shen Yue will be the son-in-law captain. like..."

The Gao Taiwei she was talking about was Gao Lian.

Gao Qiu became attached to Zhao Ji because of Cuju, and Zhao Ji took great pains to promote Gao Qiu.

If the king does not want to be said to be a fool, he still has to take into account the words of the court and act according to the rules of his ancestors.Gao Qiu is just a gangster, because he has no education, he can only start as a military official, but the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty has no meritorious service, and he must not be promoted to above the third yamen.

Taiwei is the highest official rank among military officials, and Gao Qiu got to sit because Zhao Ji first sent Gao Qiu to the northwest border to improve his resume. In later generations, this is called gilding.

Zhao Ji didn't know the titles of later generations, but he was not bad at this trick. Gao Qi, who came back from gold plating, rose in status like a rocket, and finally reached the position of Taiwei.

It can be seen from this that although Zhao Ji is engaged in selfishness and fraud, he still considers his face after all.

As the head of the Six Palaces, Empress Zheng knew a thing or two about government affairs, so she felt that treating Shen Yue the way she treated Gao Qiu was definitely an exceptional promotion.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji sighed, "How many years? How did you survive for a few years?" He said and glanced at Li Bin.

Li Bin nodded slowly.

Empress Zheng couldn't figure it out, she didn't understand why Shen Yue couldn't survive for a few years at such a young age?
Zhao Ji said again slowly, "Li Bin, what suggestion do you have?"

Li Bin pondered, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is definitely not someone who is greedy for fame. Even if he is given to do it by the Taiwei, he probably won't accept it."

Empress Zheng resisted the surprise in her heart, and really wanted to ask - what ability does Shen Yue have for you to treat him like this?What kind of person is Shen Yue?He doesn't even want to be an officer given to him as a lieutenant?
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, "This is where I have been hesitating."

Gently supporting the handle of the dragon chair, Zhao Ji murmured, "I never thought I could sit in this position."

Empress Zheng was even more shocked, thinking what is Zhao Ji talking nonsense about?Could it be that someone wants to rebel?Otherwise, how could Zhao Ji, the emperor who has been sitting for many years, say such irrelevant words?
Li Bin said unexpectedly, "This must be the kindness of the Holy One who touched the heavens, and Mr. Shen..." He didn't continue.

Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "This is the opportunity that Mr. Shen gave me."

Empress Zheng shook her body and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty is joking."

Zhao Ji looked at Empress Zheng, and said softly, "I know that the Empress must have many puzzles, but at this moment, I am absolutely sober, and the Empress can rest assured."

Empress Zheng listened to Zhao Ji's gentle words, as if they were in a daze when they first met
Zhao Ji looked at Empress Zheng, "These years, the empress has suffered too."

Empress Zheng's eyes filled with tears, at that moment, she felt that this life was not in vain.

Zhao Ji looked far away, and murmured, "All my life, I just want to have fun and enjoyment. I have never looked like an emperor one day. But now I have decided to be a real emperor."

Holding the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, as if grasping everything that he had never cherished before, Zhao Ji said word by word, "I will never...lose everything again!"
