Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 171 The Emperor is on a business trip

"How unexpected is it?" Du Jiyan blinked.

The emperor closed his eyes. What could happen to this stupid woman? She would be dead.

"If something unexpected happens during my expedition to Beiding, there is a major matter that I must explain clearly first."

"Appreciate further details."

"I can die, but the Chen Kingdom cannot perish. Before I go to war, I will write an imperial edict and place it behind the bright plaque in the Taihe Palace. If I have any shortcomings, you have to——"

"No, Your Majesty, I am just a pretender and cannot inherit the throne."

Du Jiyan said you are thinking too much. Who asked you to inherit the throne?

"The empire of Chen State will eventually be inherited by the descendants of the Min family. The Queen, the concubines and you are all pregnant."

"Your Majesty is wise. The Queen is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Doctor Zhang said it is a boy. The Queen's child should inherit the throne of the Chen Kingdom."

But he understands the righteousness deeply.

Don't fight or grab.

The queen's child is a descendant of the Min family and a descendant of the Wei family.

With the blessing of the Min family and the Wei family, even if the emperor is gone, his future path will not be too difficult. The Wei family members and the Queen Mother's old forces in the court will protect him.

At the end of autumn in the twelfth year of Chen Guo's reign, the sky became slightly cooler.

The night has not yet dissipated in the quiet capital, the Shenwu Gate has been opened, and there is still some hazy gray fog on the official road. The emperor changed into casual clothes, black riding clothes, black boots, black mask, and a long sword at his waist, with a silver scabbard shining in the night. With white light.

Dozens of personal guards followed him on horseback. No one said a word. The emperor stretched out his hand in front of his face, and everyone rode black horses into the misty mist.

The official road stretches to the northwest, passing through more than a dozen cities, before reaching Beiding.

The capital has not yet woken up, and there are few people on the long street.

On the empty long street, the lanterns on the flagpoles of the wine shops had not yet been extinguished. A team of black horses clattered past, and the dust and mist stirred up shook the lanterns on the flagpoles.

The door curtain of Taihe Palace also shook.

The bed in the Taihe Palace is so big. When I used to serve the emperor in the Taihe Palace, I didn't dare to act arrogantly on the bed, and I had to carefully hold my legs while sleeping.

When we entered the palace, the nuns said that sleeping with your arms stretched out was unruly and would make people laugh.

It's fine now. The emperor is no longer here. She is the emperor in Taihe Palace. It's such a big bed. She can sleep wherever she wants.

Sitting on all fours.

Overturned rivers and seas.

The carp fights hard.

The brocade quilt in Taihe Palace is so warm.

The curtain of Taihe Palace shook again.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court early." Gao Rang urged outside the palace.

Du Jiyan sat up in a daze before remembering that she wanted to COS the Emperor.

Yes.

She wants to take charge of the country on behalf of the emperor.

Civil and military officials could not tolerate sand in their eyes. She had to try her best to behave as usual and not let everyone see her flaws. There is no reason to be late if you go to court early on the first day. Anyway, I don’t know whether I’m going to do something serious or not, people get it.

"Come in and change my clothes." Du Jiyan yawned.

Usually, Gao Rang would change the emperor's clothes himself. Gao Rang bowed in, but felt it was inappropriate, so he called two maids.

The palace maid was waiting to change Du Jiyan's clothes, and accidentally touched Du Jiyan's chest.

Is it ups and downs?

The palace maid's hand bounced back instantly, sparks and lightning flashing in her mind.

What did you just touch?

The grave bag is actually bigger than mine?

Has the emperor grown up?

It shouldn't be.

Du Jiyan is a woman, so of course she understands what the lady in the White House is thinking. She tried her best to act calmly: "Gao Rang, have I gained weight recently?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief.

Started to comb Du Jiyan's hair.

Du Jiyan is not as tall as the emperor, which is a flaw. Sitting on the dragon chair under the upright and bright plaque, it will be easy for others to see the flaw.

It's easy to gain height.

Du Jiyan was already prepared.

She took out a twenty centimeter long silver hair crown and asked the palace maid to comb her hair into a high bun.

There are also people in the palace who wear their hair in a high bun with gold and silver hairpins and a hibiscus flower. They are very rich and beautiful.

But is such a long hair crown normal?

Why does it look like it's mutated?

This hair crown is worn on the head like an antenna for receiving signals.

The palace maid combed Du Jiyan's hair. Du Jiyan looked in the mirror and said, "No, the bun is too short."

The palace maids were not very skilled, after all, they had not done the antenna hairstyle that Du Jiyan wanted.

Du Jiyan suddenly thought that Shi Jing had a talent for combing his hair.

When the ladies in the Palace of Supreme Harmony were not sleeping, Shi Jing directly wore a whirlwind potato hairstyle in order to attract attention.

Tornado Potato's hairstyle is quite high.

It has to be Shi Jing.

When Gao Rang invited Shi Jing to the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Shi Jing was still wondering why the emperor was wrong and asked her to comb her hair so early in the morning.

"I want to wear a high bun."

High bun, Shi Jing had experience, it was all left over from her playing.

In just one cup of tea, Shi Jing put the whirlwind potato hairstyle on Du Jiyan's head.

With this hairstyle, he should be almost as tall as the emperor.

Gao Rang was waiting behind him, shaking his whisk, while Du Jiyan held her potato hairstyle and sat on the dragon chair.

All civil and military officials were shocked when they saw Du Jiyan's hairstyle. How come the emperor's hair is still standing up despite the lightning strike that day?

"You are the emperor and you must behave appropriately. This hairstyle is really unsightly."

"The man who combed the emperor's hair must be pulled out and beaten to death."

"It's me who wants to wear my hair in this style. It's none of the person's business. I just want to change my hair style to be fresh and fresh, so don't make a fuss about it."

Hundreds of officials are still forcing Lai Lai.

There was nothing serious about it. Instead, they could discuss Du Jiyan's hairstyle all morning.

"Now that Beiding is in danger, dear friends, do you have any good ideas to help me share my worries?"

There was silence below.

Is it okay if there is total silence?

Who was talking about hair style just now?

Who has the loudest voice?

If you don’t speak out, then ask questions.

Whoever is asked the question will be unlucky.

"Master Zhou, I hear your voice is quite loud, please tell me."

Lord Zhou quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am a little uncomfortable and would like to ask for a leave of absence from the Emperor."

"Master Li, you and Master Zhou have always been on the same page. Come and express your opinion."

Mr. Li shivered: "Your Majesty, I didn't discuss your hairstyle just now. It was Mr. Zhao next to you who said your hairstyle was unsightly."

"Well, who asked you to stick around Mr. Zhao? It's you. Answer the question."

Mr. Li: "Your Majesty, I am a little dizzy and would like to take two days off."

Du Jiyan sat on the high dragon chair, imitating the emperor's posture, spreading his legs and holding the back of the chair with both hands: "Master Zhao——"

Mr. Zhao was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, I woke up this morning and found that my wife is pregnant. I need to take ten days' leave."

It's only been a while since the morning session, and there are already four or five people asking for leave.

Right. After the few people who made suggestions took leave, the others were still considerate and did not express dissatisfaction with the emperor's hairstyle.

The court was over for a while, and Du Jiyan was hungry.

Don't mention it, going to morning is just like studying in the morning, you will get hungry quickly.

"Empress Du Bin, you did not fail on your first day in court. Empress Du Bin, you are so majestic." Gao Rang waved his hand and asked the people in the imperial kitchen to serve the food, and then used silver chopsticks to serve the emperor.

The food was good, but it felt suddenly dark.

Du Jiyan raised his head and found that the Queen Mother was standing outside the palace staring at her gloomily. That black light was the Queen Mother's eyes.

The gaze that was several degrees below zero made Du Jiyan feel guilty.

The Queen Mother has loved the Emperor for many years, and naturally knows a lot about the Emperor, so she must be extra careful when cosplaying with the Emperor in front of the Queen Mother.

Seeing Du Jiyan's whirlwind potato hairstyle, the Queen Mother had a bad look on her face: "Who gave the emperor such a hairstyle and didn't pull it out and give it ten sticks?"

"It was given by Prime Minister Zuo, Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and Taibao Yu, to wear a flower feather on his head and enter the palace. He can ride on horseback and sit in a sedan chair, Shi Jingshu, the daughter of Shi Yu, a first-rank official."

Forget it.

The Queen Mother took back her words.

"Your Majesty is too willful. It's not appropriate to comb your hair in such a style for nothing. You won't be able to comb it again tomorrow." The Queen Mother gave the decree.

If you don’t comb, don’t comb.

It’s not impossible to not wear a high bun and to grow taller.

Du Jiyan opened the system mall and bought a pair of high-heeled shoes. He thought it was wrong, how could the emperor wear high-heeled shoes? He should change to a pair to increase his height.

On the second day, Du Jiyan went to the main hall for a morning meeting wearing a pair of shoes with increased height.

Gao Rang's eyes were fixed on Du Jiyan's feet. Good guy, those shoes must have a heel of more than ten centimeters, which is thicker than the thick-soled shoes of Nanfu actors.

Du Jiyan's underwear increased his height, as if he were walking on stilts. When I was going up the steps, I almost slipped and fell.

Gao Rang was frightened and quickly stretched out his arms to support him.

"The King of Yue's illness has not recovered. I heard that the Yelang people sent 10,000 troops to the north. The nomadic tribe talked with the Yelang people in the camp for two hours last night. Maybe they are holding back something bad. The emperor should think Think of a way, otherwise Beiding will not be able to defend it. I am worried about the safety of the people of Beiding, so I can't sleep at night. Thinking about the dire straits that the people of Beiding are living in, my heart is like cooking oil." Someone stood up and had an opinion.

"Since Ai Qing is worried about Beiding, is there any good strategy?"

"No. It's just that in this civil and military dynasty, with the salary and salary from the court, no one will share your worries for you, the emperor? How can you live up to your own salary? How can you live up to the people?"

This man is quite good at giving speeches.

look unfamiliar.

Du Jiyan didn't know many of these ministers.

Gao Rang quickly reported in a low voice, and the person who stood up to express his opinion was Xiao Cheng, a doctor in the Ministry of War.

It turned out to be someone from the Ministry of War.

He was from the Ministry of War, and they were supposed to come up with some ideas regarding Beiding. Instead of coming up with any ideas, they jumped out to bite others.

What is it for him?

I'm not used to this problem.

"Xiao Cheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, worries about the world first, and rejoices after the world's happiness. He is really a role model for you. I must give you a good reward so that you can live up to your sincere heart." Du Jiyan stood up and walked down. The five steps were covered with velvet carpets. Du Jiyan almost fell out if he wasn't paying attention.

Gao Rang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, firmly held Du Jiyan's arm.

But Du Jiyan's shoes still flew out. They were so thick that they were as heavy as a brick.

Suddenly he was thrown onto Xiao Cheng, who took seven or eight steps back and fell down outside the hall.

Everyone was stunned.

What's wrong with the emperor?

"I am worried about the country and the people. I haven't slept well recently. I almost fell when I was going down the steps." Du Jiyan asked Xiao Cheng with concern: "Xiao Aiqing, are you okay?"

Gao Rang settled Du Jiyan and trotted back to retrieve Du Jiyan's penis. He looked at Xiao Cheng who was kneeling outside the hall with complicated eyes.

Xiao Cheng is so smart.

Immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have been worried about Beiding, and I feel that as a minister, I am powerless. I feel very guilty. I would like to ask the Emperor to lower my official position by one level."

"Master Xiao, this is the time when the court is employing people. Aren't you making things difficult for the emperor?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, the emperor is kind, so why would he demote you? Mr. Xiao has always been a role model for us. Mr. Xiao is always concerned about the situation in Beiding and the people."

Xiao Cheng pricked his ears to listen to the emperor's movements.

Du Jiyan pressed the chair with one hand: "I'm sure what Xiao Aiqing said."

肖城

All officials are silent.

There was joy in the emperor's voice.

"Not only did I ask for demotion, but I also asked the emperor to fine me a salary for one year as a sign of awakening."

"That's right."

Everyone was in a state of confusion.

"I have invited you to go to the temple to pray for the people for a month and to be vegetarian for a month."

The minister could tell that Xiao Cheng was angry. So they all advised: "Master Xiao is a minister of humerus. You must not act on your own initiative. Now when the court is hiring people, how can Master Xiao go to the temple?"

"Yes, the emperor will definitely not agree."

"I agree with Mr. Xiao to go to the temple to further his studies." Du Jiyan did not stay for even a second.

Xiao Cheng was dumbfounded.

This dog emperor is so ruthless.

Du Jiyan's critical attack is yet to come: "Since I came to the throne, rewards and punishments have been clear. If you deserve a reward, I will naturally reward it. If you deserve a punishment, then accept the punishment properly. I have granted Master Xiao's request. My dear friends, may I Any objections?"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

The Taihe Palace was silent as never before.

The ministers all kept their mouths shut, unable to pry open the steel bars.

At the end of the dynasty, Gao Rang was sweating. The emperor had long wanted to seduce Xiao Cheng. He usually had no political achievements. He was the best at stirring up trouble, but he was the best at speaking high-sounding words. I literally cried when I heard it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cheng was defeated by Du Jiyan today.

The sole of that shoe almost knocked the shit out of Xiao Cheng.

"I didn't expect you to be so courageous, Empress Du Bin. I thought you wore those shoes just to make yourself taller. I didn't expect that they were your weapon."

"How am I doing as an emperor?"

"alike."

"You are also a good eunuch."

"My slave is very honored."

The master and servant asked and answered questions with smiles. After just two days of getting along, they already had a perfect understanding, without any secrets being revealed. Gao Rang also has some acting skills, otherwise he would be the number one eunuch in the harem.

It's cloudy again.

The Queen Mother is like a weather forecast announcer. When she comes, the air pressure in Taihe Palace becomes low.

The emperor opened the window, and large areas of chrysanthemums bloomed outside the palace, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums hit his face.

"The chrysanthemums in the flower room are well cultivated, and the green chrysanthemums are especially beautiful. I will ask Gao Rang to bring two pots of green chrysanthemums to Cining Palace in a while."

"No." The Queen Mother refused decisively.

Who can be bribed with small favors every day?

It's hard to criticize him once he accepts the green chrysanthemum.

The Queen Mother made up her mind to show off to Du Jiyan: "The Ai family heard that this morning, you threw a shoe at Mr. Xiao. But is it true?"

"real."

"You dare to do it. What mistake did Mr. Xiao make? You treated him like this, in front of hundreds of officials."

"He talks a lot."

Queen mother
