Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 99 Don't Guess The Emperor's Thoughts
Mrs. Qi talked with Concubine Qi for a while, then got up to leave, and Qi Yuer sent her out.

When Zhu Beifeng heard that someone from the Qi family was coming, he also rushed to see Mrs. Qi off.

Mrs. Qi saw her son-in-law for the first time today. When she saw him in person, she suddenly understood why her daughter decided to marry into the royal family as soon as she saw the emperor.

Zhu Beifeng was polite and courteous, and his appearance, knowledge, and temperament were not comparable to those of the dudes in Kyoto.

When Mrs. Qi talked with Zhu Beifeng, Zhu Beifeng's EQ was much higher than hers. No matter what Mrs. Qi said, Zhu Beifeng could talk to her. Mrs. Qi was [-]% satisfied with Zhu Beifeng.

Before leaving, he entrusted Zhu Beifeng to take care of Concubine Qi.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will live up to his mother-in-law's entrustment."

Zhu Beifeng sent Mrs. Qi to the outside of the racecourse. Master Qi leaned on the carriage and looked up at the moon with a piece of grass in his mouth.

As soon as the emperor came out to see him off in person, he quickly threw away the dog's tail grass in his mouth, tidied up his appearance, and went forward to finish his invitation.

"Humble job, see Long live."

"Father-in-law doesn't need to be too polite."

The more Zhu Beifeng said that there is no need to be polite, the more respectful Master Qi's etiquette is. It is not surprising that there are many people who are polite, but the other party is the emperor.

The wind is clear and the moon is bright, and the night sky is full of stars.

Mrs. Qi was supported by Shuangxi herself into the carriage, and Zhu Beifeng was talking with Mr. Qi familiarly.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is really in trouble!"

Master Qi's heart skipped a beat, wondering if there was a pitfall in Zhu Beifeng's words, "The humble official is willing to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"How to relieve worries, only Du Kang."

Shuangxi sent someone to spread a felt rug on the floor, and set up a small table on the rug, with a low stool on the table and two jugs of warm wine on the stool.

Zhu Beifeng knelt and sat on the felt rug, Master Qi knelt upright and poured wine for Zhu Beifeng himself.

"The four ministers who protect the country have worked hard and made great achievements. I respect them very much. Master Chen responded to everyone in the court hall, and Concubine Chen was in the harem... hey, let's not talk about it."

Master Qi was filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll submit a letter to Master Chen when I'm humbled tomorrow."

"No, no, Mr. Chen is the minister who protects the country personally arranged by the late emperor. My father-in-law thinks about my son-in-law, and my son-in-law Dou knows that."

The monarch and his ministers drank two jugs of wine, and when they were half drunk, Mr. Qi began to speak in a nonchalant manner.

"Wu dies in battle, Wen dies in remonstrance. There is an old saying in Fan Gong, Ning Ming dies, but does not live silently. Minger with a humble job must read Master Chen's book. Read his teachings and let women commit crimes."

"Impossible."

The emperor said no, the more happy he was in his heart.

Therefore, in the early morning of the second day, Master Qi wrote a letter to Master Chen.

Zhu Beifeng pointed out Master Qi's faults in public, and also brought up Master Chen's past achievements, telling how Master Chen worked so hard and made great achievements.

Three days later, the ministers unanimously wrote to Mr. Chen.

The emperor reprimanded the lords who submitted the letter, so all the lords were more or less promoted to officials. Five days later, the imperial case in the imperial study room was full of memorials. There were 25 papers for greetings, and the remaining 25 papers were all for Lord Chen. of.

Master Chen was sweating profusely, Zhu Beifeng stared at the memorial for a long time without saying a word.

Master Chen felt that there was a knife hanging above his head. The knife did not fall down for a long time, and Master Chen dared to breathe heavily.

The thin new emperor from before has grown taller than him, and has the ability to control his destiny.

Mr. Chen recalled the scene before the Palace of Compassion, when Princess Xiaoyao brought Aunt Tang into the palace to force the Empress Dowager Heng Le to abdicate. Zhu Beifeng rolled around and shouted, "Quickly invite the four ministers who protect the country, the princess will be forced to die." I."

At that time, the new emperor relied heavily on the four ministers protecting the country. Now the new emperor no longer needs the four ministers protecting the country.

He was probably old, and he actually felt very sleepy after standing for a while.

Shuangxi brought a bench for Mr. Chen to sit on. Mr. Chen sat on the stool and dozed off.

Zhu Beifeng raised his head from the desk, seeing Mr. Chen closed his eyes and dozed off, his heart softened.

However, such soft emotions only lasted for a while, and soon disappeared.

Mr. Chen is old, and Mr. Chen, who was so victorious when he leaped on his horse and whipped his whip, has lost his heroic spirit and is replaced by twilight.

It's time for a strong man to retreat behind the scenes in his old age.

Master Chen rested for a while, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have lost my composure."

"Master Chen's ministers are all referring to you, what do you think?"

"When the first emperor was alive, he served as the vanguard of the Flying Tiger Battalion in a humble position. Thanks to the late emperor, he did not abandon his humble position as the general protecting the country. Now that your majesty has been in charge for many years, the humble post of the great general protecting the country is not worthy of his name. I beg your majesty to allow you to retire from the humble post and return to your hometown. "

"Master Chen, I don't want you to go back to my hometown at all, have you really thought about it?"

"Humble job think about it."

Zhu Beifeng raised his hand slightly, Shuangxi brought the wine that had been prepared, and the monarch and his ministers drank freely.

Mr. Chen looked at the gleaming golden wine glass in front of him, and suddenly thought of a sentence, "Drink from the golden glass with you, and you will not forgive each other with a sword."

"To tell you the truth, I really don't want to see Mr. Chen leave."

Usually a person starts by saying something from the heart, then what he says next is a lie.

Mr. Chen has been an official for forty years, and he knows very well the way the dignitaries at the wine table speak.

If the emperor is reluctant to let him go back to his hometown, when Mr. Qi visits him, he should punish Mr. Qi well, instead of scolding him openly and secretly promoting him.

Now everyone in the court is following Master Qi's ginseng, and if he doesn't leave, he has to leave.

"Master Chen, is it possible to return home without telling the old man?"

Master Chen took a sip of wine, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, did the old man want to leave? Obviously, you, the little emperor, were afraid of the military power in the old man's hands, and wanted to seize power and deliberately set a trap to force the old man to disarm and return to the field.

"It's not that I want to leave my humble position, but because of the current situation, I can't help but not want to leave my humble position."

"There is a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Master Chen can live in another courtyard. If you return to your ancestral land, there will be no one around me who can talk to you."

Mr. Chen said a few words on the occasion, and left the military talisman silently. The emperor was very happy to get the military talisman.

"Master Chen, go back and rest."

After Lord Chen left, Zhu Beifeng smiled with satisfaction while holding the military talisman.

"Double Happiness, take care of the pen and ink, I want to draw up an order for Concubine Chen of Jin Dynasty to be a noble concubine."

Double Happiness studied the ink and spread the paper, and Zhu Beifeng wrote the imperial decree with a wave of his hand, "Double Happiness, go and deliver the decree yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shuangxi was too busy to run to deliver the decree.

Concubine Chen knelt on the ground to listen.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Concubine Chen is gentle and virtuous, and canonized as a noble concubine from now on."

"Chen Guifei accepts the order."

Concubine Chen couldn't understand the emperor's behavior more and more. She beat Concubine Mei, and the emperor should punish her. Why did her status rise instead of drop.

Concubine Chen was not dazzled by the imperial decree, but asked Shuangxi: "Eunuch Shuangxi, has Mr. Chen entered the palace recently?"

"Master Chen came to the imperial study room in the morning, and after a while, the emperor decided to confer the title of empress."

Concubine Chen Guifei received the imperial decree, gave Shuangxi a reward, and hurriedly found someone to deliver a message to the Chen family.
