Emperor Jin

Chapter 19 Acting
On this day, the court hall was also quite lively.

The papers jointly signed by the five censors came to the emperor, and they impeached the draft.

The queen listened to the eunuch chanting aloud behind the bead curtain of the jade seat, and couldn't help but sneered slightly.

"It's unreasonable to say that I'm jealous, but now that I've won the world, and relying on them, I'm recruited from the ministers of the princes and clans, and something happened again!"

She murmured in a low voice, she was already sullen behind the screen, but she held back and continued to listen.

Although the memorial is tactful, it honestly and unceremoniously accused nepotism—out of the seven or eight beautiful women, two were from noble relatives. .

Since Xu Ji's death, Liu Xunyin was the head of the cabinet ministers. He saw the emperor's face sinking like water, and the figure dancing behind the Kowloon screen, so he went out to smooth things over.

"The officials are blunt, and they are based on rumors, so it is inevitable that they are biased... It's just that the two beautiful women, the Empress Empress and Concubine Yunxian's relatives, have always been inconsistent with the rules, and it is inevitable that there will be some disputes between the government and the opposition."

The emperor was a little displeased, but more indifferent, "The "Book of Rites" said, 'In ancient times, when a daughter was married, the nephew must follow.' What's wrong with this?!"

Liu Xun was choked by this high-sounding sentence, and was speechless. He was about to go back to work, but saw a young and energetic censor, who came out and said, "Never mind that, the last time King Jing went to Gumo, the criminals among them The slave, who was supposed to serve as a lowly servant, was transferred to the palace, so this will damage His Majesty's reputation."

"What reputation do I have, why don't I know it?!"

The emperor said with a leisurely smile, and everyone's expressions changed with just one sentence.

"The sage kings also had a harem of three thousand, and it never hindered their reputation. Although Emperor Jingyuan was tyrannical, he forbade female sex, and he would inevitably die in the end—but a woman is worthy of your urgent admonition? !"

This sentence was so righteous that no one dared to say it again, so the court returned to silence.

After the court was over, the queen got up from behind the screen and followed the emperor out of the hall.

The wind passed by the empress's side, and the empress felt a little cold, so she couldn't help wrapping her snow velvet cloak tightly.

On weekdays, he fastened it with his own hands...

She glanced at the emperor beside her, and seeing him lost in thought, she couldn't help laughing at herself—

Now that he is in charge of Wancheng, and he is busy with government affairs, how can he be expected to be as considerate and suave as before? !
"Although you refuted these censors and spread the word, but your relatives always gained power—I'll let Wan Qing go home later..."

She took a step behind the emperor and persuaded in a low voice.

"The censors have always been nitpicking, and they specifically impeached the emperor. In the previous dynasty, even Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't do anything to them."

The emperor said in a rambling voice, but he didn't look at the queen, he just walked forward.

"They specialize in a 'high voice'. The emperor accepts advice, and they benefit. If the emperor is extremely angry and kills, they will leave a good name through the ages. It is really worthless for anyone to pay tribute to them!"

The emperor smiled slightly, boarded the imperial chariot, and said to the queen: "If you are tired, go back and rest!"

The queen looked at the Yili team going away, feeling a little lost in her heart.

"Could it be that they're really old couples, don't they have nothing intimate to say?"

She sighed, and then said: "Go back to Zhaoyang Palace."

***
The emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace and read another stack of memorials. At noon, he had a little meal, but he was lazy and not interested.

"Go get 'her' here."

Zhang Xun was very embarrassed when the emperor spoke nonsensically. He hesitated and stepped forward and asked, "What the emperor said is..."

"Northern Fifth Institute."

When Zhang Xun heard it, he immediately understood, and hurriedly turned and went out.

Three quarters later, that slender figure appeared in front of the hall.

"You played the pipa well that day..."

The emperor didn't call her to get up, and after a long while, he said lightly.

So he ordered people to bring the musical instruments from the palace, "Play whatever you want!"

So Bao Jin sat on the side, adjusted the strings, gently twirling and picking slowly, it was vaguely the song of the day.

The emperor waved his hand to stop, frowned and said: "The sound of swords and soldiers is too loud, it sounds ominous, what else can you do?"

Changed another song, although it was spring leisure and festive, but the fingering was vaguely jerky, and there was a bit of sobbing.

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and said with a sneer, "Are you trying to make me unhappy?!"

Bao Jin bowed his head and said in a low voice: "The sound is out of my mind, does the emperor want me to force a smile..."

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and he pulled her up from the ground, "It's unreasonable, do you really know where you are?!"

"A man is a knife, I am a fish, it doesn't matter where I am."

Bao Jin seems to be deliberately trying to provoke him.

The emperor didn't lose his temper when he heard this sentence. He smiled coldly and said calmly: "Sure enough, he is a descendant of the Wang family, and he is not afraid of life and death."

"You are not afraid of death, but the subjects from Gumo may not all regard death as home!"

The malicious ridicule made Bao Jin's complexion turn pale.

"As the king of ten thousand chariots, if you criticize the defeated subordinate country again, it will really lose the face of the heavenly dynasty..."

"Hmph! In your hearts, I'm just a rebel and a rebel, so what kind of emperor is the Central Plains!"

The emperor raised his voice to the outside, and ordered the eunuch Bingbi to say: "Propagate my will..."

"do not want!"

A sharp, almost terrifying voice sounded in the next moment, and Bao Jin's whole body trembled slightly.

"Don't... embarrass them..."

The emperor only felt that his feet were tight, but it was this slender girl who was holding the hem of the robe, her eyes were full of tears, she was gritting her teeth and pleading.

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to pull it away, Bao Jin clenched it even tighter, his crystal clear eyes were like a small animal in a desperate situation, first angry, then pity.

All the anger disappeared at this moment, the emperor looked down at her deeply, but remained silent.

"Please...they are old and weak, women and children, they have traveled thousands of miles, and finally came to the capital..."

When Baojin said this, he was choked up with tears.

The emperor pulled her up from the ground, and the bodies of the two were close together without any gap——

"So...you have to be obedient. No matter how unruly you are, their lives will never be saved."

Bao Jin bit her lip, nodded slightly with unwillingness and panic.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction.

He didn't see Bao Jin's treacherous smile when he lowered his head——

My acting skills are really good...

No?
