Chapter 410 Self-Recommended Pillow Seat
Chapter 417

Chen Xilie frowned.

Although Gongsun Liang's words are inappropriate, it is not enough to put such a hat on the line.

Yang Guozhong made it clear that he was taking advantage of the problem and wanted to suppress Gongsun Liang, so as to establish prestige in this small core power group and gradually ensure his personal authority.To put it bluntly, Yang Guozhong was still unwilling to let others down, and he didn't really take Chen Xilie seriously.

Among the seven, Guo Ziyi was the only one Yang Guozhong was really afraid of.Although Zhang Xun was also a confidant of Emperor Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xun's foundation was too shallow, and being promoted to the court was tantamount to ascending to the sky in one step. How could Yang Guozhong think highly of Zhang Xun.

In Yang Guozhong's view, as long as he can control Pei Mian and Gongsun Liang, and Yang Qi is a member of the Yang family, he can occupy the leadership position in this small group, and even surpass Guo Ziyi and other party of heroes.

Although Guo Ziyi's expression didn't change, she was also a little upset.

After all, Yang Guozhong is still a rogue politician. What he considers is not the prosperity of the country and the government affairs of the court, but his own political interests first. Striving for power has become his instinct.

Cough!

Chen Xilie cleared his throat and said in a smooth manner, "Mr. Yang, Lord Gongsun is also sincere and considers His Majesty's reputation. Lord Guo, what do you think?"

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment, "Lord Zaifu, this matter is no small matter, I'd better ask His Majesty to adjudicate it, I dare not speak nonsense!"

In fact, Zhang Xuan was outside the hall at this time.

After becoming the emperor, Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that it was not easy to be an emperor.How much power means so much responsibility, from the standpoint of the emperor, he can no longer use thunderous methods decisively and frequently as before.

No matter what he does, he must take into account the overall situation of the world and the court, as well as the aspirations of the people, as well as the factional struggles among courtiers and the balance of various interest groups... It is very complicated, so complicated that it makes him feel a little dizzy big.

The so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small dish, and everything must be mastered. It is not easy to be a promising monarch.

How to arrange Li Heng, Li Yu's father and son and Li Tang's royal family, although Zhang Xuan had some ideas in his heart, he never made up his mind.

He had to be cautious because of the influence of the Li Tang royal family among the people and among the gentry.But he had to consider his own reputation. It was easy to kill Li Tang's royal family. Given his current control over the world situation, it would not be a problem if more than a thousand members of Li Tang's royal family were killed or exiled with one edict.

However, the suppression of power cannot last long.After a hundred years, he will definitely be called a tyrant.As a time traveler, Zhang Xuan's heart is like a mirror.

Zhang Xuan sighed softly and stepped into the hall.

The shrill voice of the little eunuch next to him came out - "Your Majesty is here!"

Chen Xilie and the others hurriedly got up and bowed down, "I wait to welcome Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and waved his hands, "Zaifu, all the ministers, please stand up, without courtesy."

After Zhang Xuan sat down, Chen Xilie took the lead and reported the results agreed by everyone.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Quite. Pass on my imperial edict, canonize Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo as 'Yingwuweiweiyuan Pijiaque Khan', and give Dan Shu Iron Coupon. Canonize Huihe Prince Gele as Jinxi Hou, Guang Doctor Lu, General of the Zhenjun. Order someone to erect a monument in Chang'an to commemorate it, to show that our dynasty and Huihe have been friendly for generations, and we will always be a father and son state!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Xilie and others bowed down again, shouting loudly.

Zhang Xuan chuckled, "Okay, get up."

"In front of all of you, I have a few words to say. When a new dynasty is established, no matter who it is, it is necessary to put state affairs first—since I entrust state affairs to you, I trust you to contribute to the country and share my worries. No matter what happened in the past, from now on, you will be my humerus, right arm and right arm.”

"I will treat everyone equally, this is my attitude."

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words fell, Gongsun Liang and Pei Mian were overwhelmed with gratitude, knowing that the emperor's words meant to appease them, and at the same time they were beating Yang Guozhong, reminding Chen Xilie and Guo Ziyi.

Everyone bowed down.

Gongsun Liang and Pei Mian burst into tears, "Your Majesty is so grateful, I am so grateful, I will go through fire and water for your Majesty!"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "I still say the same thing, I don't expect you to be impartial, but you should put the state affairs first. Okay, let's continue, I'm leaving."

Zhang Xuan got up and left, but after walking a few steps, he looked back at Guo Ziyi and said, "Ziyi!"

Guo Ziyi bowed respectfully and said, "The minister is here!"

"The deployment of soldiers and horses in the world is a matter of great importance and cannot be neglected. You have the full power to deal with it. In addition, summon Feng Changqing and let him lead the army to the Western Regions as soon as possible. I will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow and do it for him!"

"The minister obeys the order."

……

……

Zhang Xuan returned to his bedroom.

Because he didn't plan to stay in Chang'an for a long time, everything in the palace and even the residence was kept simple.There were only a dozen eunuchs and maids around him, and he rejected all the people selected by the palace.

Chen Xilie and others wanted to issue an imperial edict to choose concubines and drafts for the new emperor Zhang Xuan, and build his harem, but Zhang Xuan flatly refused.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that as an emperor, he had to obey the rules of this era.But the so-called three thousand in the harem are purely for decoration, and there is no need to recruit the daughters of the people, causing public resentment.Of course, there are still necessary concubines.

As for the eunuchs and maids, Zhang Xuan decided to select some of them from the Chang'an Palace.Most of the maids in the palace don't even see the emperor's face on weekdays, let alone luck.

The palace where Zhang Xuan lives now is Wanchun's former "boudoir" - Wanchun Garden.And the maids and eunuchs serving in Wanchun Garden are basically Wanchun's servants before she got married.

Zhang Xuan went into the dormitory and took a nap for an hour, and was about to get up to read a book, when suddenly the maid came to report.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the maid, her name was Yan'er, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her temperament was pure.

When Zhang Xuan saw Yan'er, he thought of his former personal maid, Ruyan Ruyu.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Han and Xue Xiangyun have been kneeling outside the palace waiting for a long time to see her." Yan'er carefully observed the emperor's face, knelt on the ground and whispered.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and they have just served the emperor, and they still don't know the emperor's temperament, so they are naturally cautious and fearful.

"Your name is Yan'er?" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, looking at Yan'er.

Yan'er blushed, nodded and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, this servant is called Yan'er."

"Come here." Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Yan'er was startled for a moment, and then she was a little ecstatic.

She hurried over and knelt at Zhang Xuan's feet, excited and looking forward to it.

The emperor was alone in the palace, without concubines to serve him, if the emperor took a fancy to him... then wouldn't he become the imperial concubine in a flash, and from then on, he would go straight to the sky, and he would no longer be this little maid.

Yan'er's face was ruddy, her eyes were swaying with spring, she was still on the verge of speaking.This delicate appearance fell into Zhang Xuan's eyes, he was startled, and immediately understood, knowing that this little girl had misunderstood him.

He is not a saint. As an emperor, it is easy for him to have as many women by his side.However, Zhang Xuan is now thinking about state affairs and caring about the world, and his desire in bed has faded a lot.

At least, after being in the palace for so long, he hasn't had any luck with any woman.

"Yan'er, help me change my clothes."

Zhang Xuan said lightly.

Yan'er was a little disappointed, but still respectfully began to help Zhang Xuan change his clothes.Seeing the little girl's disappointed look, Zhang Xuan couldn't help pinching her little nose, and said with a smile, "After a while, I'm going back to Zhongjing, would you like to go with me to Zhongjing?"

Yan'er knelt down on the ground joyfully, "This servant is willing to serve His Majesty, this servant is willing to..."

Zhang Xuan was dressed neatly and sat behind the dragon case, and then ordered Yan'er to call Mrs. Han and her daughter in.

After all, she is the sister of Yang Yuhuan and Yang Sanjie, so Zhang Xuan had to give her some face.

Mrs. Han brought her daughter Xue Xiangyun, Li Heng's concubine Xue Shu, and walked in cautiously with her head down.

Xue Xiangyun was favored by Li Heng, and she was pregnant during the period, but unexpectedly because of the rebellion of the whole country, the palace was in turmoil, plus traveling around with the emperor, and worrying about the future, she finally had a miscarriage and did not keep the child in her womb.

Mrs. Korea originally thought that her daughter could become the second Concubine Yang, but in the end she became a "bereaved dog".Li Heng was first usurped by Li Yu, and then the Li Tang Dynasty was taken over by Zhang Xuan.Concubine Xue Shu, who was once a favorite in the palace in the past, was a flash in the pan and has become the past forever.

Xue Xiangyun was originally locked up with Li Heng's concubine, and his life and death were uncertain.But Mrs. Han tried to get Xue Xiangyun out through Yang Guozhong's relationship, and took him back to the mansion.

It's not that Zhang Xuan didn't know about it, but he just pretended not to know because of Yang Sanjie and Yang Yuhuan.

But why did these mother and daughter come to the palace to find me?Do you have other thoughts?Zhang Xuan's thoughts flashed, and he glanced at the mother and daughter.

The lady of South Korea is wearing heavy makeup, and Xue Xiangyun is obviously well-groomed, wearing a gorgeous neon palace dress, with a bit of national beauty.

Zhang Xuan frowned secretly.

Mrs. Han took a few steps, and also gave her daughter a wink.

The mother and daughter knelt down on the ground together, and said softly, "Mother and daughter of the slave family pay respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Zhang Xuan was silent.

It took a long time before he said calmly, "Madam please, Madam came to see me in the palace, is there anything you want?"

Mrs. Han kowtowed and said, "The slave family recently received a letter from the third sister, and the third sister said to let the slave family enter the palace to beg Your Majesty..."

Madam Han Han was interrupted by Zhang Xuan before she finished speaking, and he said calmly, "Madam and I are also considered relatives, Madam can rest assured, I will protect Madam's family. If Madam is willing, the whole family can move to Zhongjing to live in." Can."

"As for—" Zhang Xuan glanced at the extremely charming Xue Xiangyun, "I've already left the palace, let's choose someone to remarry."

Mrs. Han hadn't spoken yet, Xue Xiangyun had already raised her head and looked at Zhang Xuan with winking eyes, and said boldly, "My family is willing to serve Your Majesty, please don't despise my family!"

Zhang Xuan was stunned.
