I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 148 Marriage
Zhou Guo.

The imperial palace, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhou Huang looked at the Dagan monthly report in his hand with a gloomy expression.

"Zimo Hongchen came over, everyone looked at the flowers.

All the osmanthus trees in Guanli in the south of Shanxi were planted after Liu Gong left. "

Thinking and thinking.

Zhou Huang tightly clenched the newspaper in his hand, his eyes burst out with monstrous anger, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth:

"What a poem!"

next second.

He could no longer restrain his inner anger, stood up from the dragon chair, tore up the newspaper in his hand, threw it forward, and said angrily:

"Wei Dongzheng! Look at your own nephew, who actually wrote a poem to satirize me and you at the Qianguo banquet!"

Wei Dongzheng stood where he was, expressionless and silent.

Zhou Huang stared at him and said angrily: "Because of this poem, I received dozens of memorials today, accusing me of violating the will of the people of the world and going my own way!
He also accused me of reusing you gang of sycophants who don't even care about your own nephews!You tell me!How should I reply to them! "

Wei Dongzheng still had a calm expression, and said sternly: "These are just passing clouds, don't care about them, they will dissipate...

Conscript the Huben army and defend the capital to prevent accidents!This is what His Majesty should take to heart! "

When Zhou Huang heard this, he was very angry, his eyes widened, and he said angrily:

"At this point, you still want me to recruit the Tiger Ben army, you want me to make a mistake and cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough"

As he spoke, he coughed violently again.

aside.

The eunuch hurriedly presented the medicinal soup.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The imperial doctor said that your cold has not recovered, so you should not get angry."

Wei Dongzheng looked at Zhou Huang who was coughing non-stop in front of him, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to be an emperor through the ages. Since the implementation of the New Deal, we must go forward without hesitation, and we must not meet obstacles and give up halfway!"

Zhou Huang coughed and stared at Wei Dongzheng.

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, you didn't. That's what you told me."

Wei Dongzheng sighed and said: "I implemented the New Deal back then, thinking of a step-by-step approach, starting with other aspects first, and finally moving to the land tax. Now the minister is making a drastic move, but he is forced to do so."

If it weren't for the Jiangyue tabloid, he wouldn't be in a hurry to promote the distribution of people into the mu, and the situation wouldn't be what it is now.

Hearing these words, Zhou Huang fell into deep thought, coughing, while looking at the memorials presented by various places, as if he was making a decision.

Whether to continue to implement the New Deal, or to compromise with the scholar-officials.

I do not know how long it has been.

Emperor Zhou sighed leisurely, and said: "As the second assistant of the cabinet, you already have great power, and you are also the foreman and the household secretary. It is inevitable that you will be criticized by others. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is good."

It is not normal to hold two ministers concurrently.

Wei Dongzheng had no objection to this, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Zhou raised his eyes to look at him, with hesitation on his face, and asked: "Fang Tian's equal tax, and the sharing of the land into the mu, in your opinion, can you put it aside for a while."

Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Dongzheng said solemnly: "The sword is out of its sheath, how can we take it back!"

Zhou Huang struggled and said: "I am worried that Xie Qian and the others will use your nephew's poems to cause trouble again."

Wei Dongzheng said sternly: "It is precisely because of this that I implore Your Majesty to recruit the Tiger Army!"

Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, hesitatingly said: "Take a hair to move the whole body, and recruit the tiger army, which means that I will never die with them."

Wei Dongzheng showed an expression of hating iron but not steel, and said anxiously: "Don't your majesty feel that now has reached the most critical moment?"

Zhou Huang glanced at Wei Dongzheng, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

Just now.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, anxious voices sounded outside the Qianqing Palace.

"My lord! The Southwest Express!"

Zhou Huang and Wei Dongzheng looked at each other, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Send it in!"

"Yes!"

The urgent report was delivered to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou hurriedly opened it, and looked at it from top to bottom.

As time passed, his face became more and more ugly.

After reading the urgent report, he could no longer restrain his inner anger, and slammed the urgent report on the table, cursing:
"This gang of traitors! How dare they rebel!"

Hear the word "rebellion".

Wei Dongzheng was startled, looked at Emperor Zhou, and asked impatiently:

"Your Majesty, where is the rebellion?"

Zhou Huang looked at Wei Dongzheng, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"The few prefectures you selected to try out the New Deal are all reversed!"

moment.

Wei Dongzheng stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, muttering to himself:

"How is this possible"

The few prefectures he selected are all far away from the capital, and they are not considered wealthy.

The local gentry forces are also relatively weak.

For no reason, how could it be reversed?

Just because the imperial court ordered them to carry out the New Deal?
Should not be!

After a while.

Wei Dongzheng regained his composure, looked at Emperor Zhou, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the place chosen by the minister will not rebel easily, there must be something strange in it!"

Zhou Huang stared at him and said angrily: "I don't want to hear your nonsense now, you just need to tell me! What should I do now!"

Wei Dongzheng was silent for a while, and replied: "I think that the current strategy should be to make a quick decision and recruit the Huben army! Hurry up and wipe out the rebels before winter begins!"

Zhou Huang said angrily: "This is also the Tiger's Army, and that is also the Tiger's Army. You are my Tiger's Army, which fell from the sky!"

Hearing this, Wei Dongzheng looked at Emperor Zhou subconsciously.

Immediately, he seemed to realize something, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the southwestern governments is very important. We should let the Huben army put down the rebellion first, and then defend the capital."

Emperor Zhou said coldly:

"It's just one or two guards who rebelled, and the total number is less than 1. Does this require a tiger army?"

This sentence basically represented Zhou Huang's decision.

Wei Dongzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to persuade him again.

Zhou Huang waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, I will call up the Tiger Army to defend the capital!"

"The southwestern prefectures are more than 3000 miles away from the capital, and they will not pose a threat to me in a short time!"

"What I want to guard against now is the several prefectures around the capital, so as not to cause another accident!"

Wei Dongzheng asked anxiously, "How should the rebel army be dealt with?"

Zhou Huangdao: "Send General Annan, and he will command the soldiers of the Southwest Guards to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion!"

When Wei Dongzheng heard this, his expression became more anxious, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhou:

"Wei Dongzheng, don't make any more messy suggestions!"

"It's because I listened to so many suggestions from you that the court fell into such turmoil!"

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything, you continue to implement your new policy, and don't ask about the rest!"

Hear this.

Wei Dongzheng was silent for a long time, before he sighed in his heart and saluted in a somewhat dejected manner.

"My minister retire."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Zhou Huang looked at his back with a gloomy expression.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the eunuch beside him, planning to order something.

As soon as he opened his mouth, before he could say a word, he coughed again.

"Cough cough cough cough cough."

This violent cough echoed in the Qianqing Palace and lingered for a long time
dry country.

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong supported his head with a slender hand.

Star-like eyes staring blankly ahead.

In my mind, the scene of what happened in Yirenju is still repeating non-stop.

At that time, I was obviously nervous to death, and my mind went blank.

But looking back now, all the pictures seem to be engraved in my mind, and the memory is extremely firm.

Even some details are like this.

At that time, his body was covered with osmanthus scented powder, which smelled very good.
The eyes are beautiful.
lips are soft
Think about it.

The little empress couldn't help recalling how she felt at that time.

Subconsciously swallowed.

Behind.

Lin Wan'er curled her lips when she saw this, and thought, "Isn't it just a kiss, so...well, I've been thinking about it for a few days."

I remembered that the little empress had ordered me to remind her when I was distracted.

Lin Wan'er called softly: "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

The little empress turned her head in a daze, looked at Lin Wan'er, and only when she saw her eyes did she regain her senses.

He turned his head and continued to review the memorial.

The first memorial was sent by the Ministry of Rites.

Still the same as before.

Persuading the little empress, she is not too young, she should start the draft early, and give birth to an heir while she is young, so that the country can be stable.

The little empress curled her lips, didn't even bother to comment, just put a cross on it, and threw it aside.

The next memorial will still be presented by the Ministry of Rites.

This time, the question was about the wedding day of Prime Minister Fang Xiu and Zhou Guochang Princess Li Yaoyue, and when would it be appropriate.

The Ministry of Rites listed several auspicious days for the little empress to choose.

of course.

Normally speaking, the emperor should not be involved in the marriage of courtiers.

However, the marriage between Fang Xiu and Li Yaoyue was bestowed by the empress, so the little empress had to decide on some specific details.

Just like this wedding.

Looking at the memorial, the little empress felt something stuck in her chest, she couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it, it was very uncomfortable.

Silent for a while.

She gritted her teeth, and chose the last of several auspicious days, which had to wait until after the beginning of spring.

After commenting.

She threw the memorial aside angrily, forced herself not to think about it, and picked up the next memorial.

This memorial was no longer submitted by the Ministry of Rites, but by Yongzhou.

Lots of content.

In short, the mansions belonging to the state of Zhou next to Yongzhou rebelled!
The rebellion here is naturally the rebellion against Emperor Zhou, but the name is the Qing Dynasty.

The requirements are also very simple, just two.

First, ask Wei Dongzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, to be beheaded.

Second, promise not to implement the New Deal.

It is not uncommon in this world for Qing Jun to sidestep this kind of thing.

Generally speaking, it is initiated by the feudal officials of the separatist party, or the vassal king.

This is the first time I have heard that Zhou Guo was initiated by a small guard commander.

but.

From the current point of view, this time the "Qingjun side" is really not a small fight.

In just a few days, three or four guards responded, and more than [-] soldiers participated!
In addition, although the surrounding guards did not respond to the Qing emperor's side, they did not send troops to crusade, indicating that they were still in a wait-and-see state.

It's going to be winter soon.

Zhou Huang wanted to put down the rebellion, and it was estimated that it would not be resolved for a while, at least until the beginning of next year.

By that time, there may not be any changes.

"He was right."

"Less than half a year after Emperor Zhou implemented the new policy, he has already fallen into turmoil, and even attracted border guards to 'side the Qing emperor'."

"If I carry out the New Deal, I'm afraid I will drown in the lake in less than half a year."

Thinking of this, the little empress suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.

Standing up, I want to go out and relax.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurriedly picked up a cloak and chased after her.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, put on your cloak"

The little empress waved her hand and said, "I just want to be calm."

Lin Wan'er took the cloak and followed the little empress out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not knowing whether she should do it or not.

I am hesitating.

The cloak in his hand was suddenly snatched away.

"Who dares?"

Lin Wan'er opened her eyes wide, turned her head to look, and when she saw the man clearly, her voice stopped abruptly.

"Fang Xiang."

Fang Xiu nodded, took the cloak over, stepped forward, put it on the little empress, hugged her in his arms, and said softly:
"Your Majesty is not resting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, what are you doing out there?"
