Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

In today's morning court, Emperor Chen ordered all the courtiers to kneel for half an hour, and then summoned several important ministers, including several ministers, individually.

While he was arranging everything in the imperial study room, a figure ran in from outside the palace and ran all the way into Shuxiu Palace.

Shuxiu Palace is the residence of Concubine Shu. In the palace, Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Yuan who was sweating profusely and panting heavily, and said in surprise: "Didn't Yuan'er go to see the Wang sister today? Why did he come back?"

Zhao Yuan looked up at Concubine Shu and said loudly: "Concubine, I want to be the emperor!"

When Concubine Shu heard this, she was startled at first, and then her expression changed drastically. She twisted his ears and said angrily: "Who taught you to say this?"

Zhao Yuandao: "No one taught me, it was me who wanted to be the emperor."

Concubine Shu covered his mouth and said with a dark face, "No, you don't want to."

Zhao Yuan covered her mouth and was still whining.

Concubine Shu looked aside and said, "Du Juan, go and close the palace door."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid named Du Juan responded and called the palace maid who was in the palace just now.

After closing the palace door, she looked at the two palace maids, her face turned cold, and said: "If any of you dare to speak out about what happened today, you will definitely not be spared lightly!"

The two palace maids panicked and said, "I don't dare!"

Naturally, servants like them don't dare to talk about their masters' affairs. Over the years, countless people have been thrown into ponds or filled up wells because of their lax speech.Their status is so humble that no one will make the decision for them even if they are really flooded with sinking ponds and wells.

In Shuxiu Palace, Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "Why do you want to be the emperor?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Because I want to marry a sister from the Wang family, a sister from the Zhang family, and a sister from the Bai family. Only when I become the emperor can I marry the three of them back to the palace together."

Being an emperor was just to marry three concubines. Concubine Shu felt helpless that she had given birth to such a thing, and asked: "Why do you think that only by becoming an emperor can you marry the three of them back together?"

"Brother Duan Wang, King Kang, Brother Huai, and Uncle Fu Wang, they all only have one princess, but my father has..." Zhao Yuan thought for a while, then stretched out his fingers to count. After a while, he didn't count them all, so he raised his head and said, "There are so many concubines..."

King Duan Kang only had one concubine because they wanted to maintain an image of not being entertained by women in front of everyone. King Fu only had one concubine because he was henpecked, and King Huai only had one concubine because his father-in-law was Youyu. General Lin Wei, he dare not accept a concubine, it has nothing to do with whether he is the emperor or not.

Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "Even if you are not the emperor, you can still marry three princesses."

Zhao Yuan looked unbelieving: "Really?"

Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Really."

Zhao Yuan continued to ask: "Can I marry a sister from the Wang family, a sister from the Zhang family, or a sister from the Bai family without being an emperor?"

This is of course impossible.

The granddaughter of the Prime Minister will not be a concubine, not even a side concubine. Zhang Da, a scholar who has passed down poetry and calligraphy to his family, has a scholarly family, how can he wrong the only legitimate daughter of the Zhang family to be a side concubine? The Bai family of the East Gate guard can With such a daughter, the daughter of the Bai family can be a princess, but her own child is not qualified to be committed to a girl from the Bai family.

Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Yuan and thought to herself that this boy is not good at studying, but his eyes are extremely poisonous. None of the little girls he has taken a liking to are ordinary people.

However, she still looked at Zhao Yuan and nodded: "Of course."

"Then I don't want to be a kid anymore." Zhao Yuan turned around without hesitation and ran outside.

Concubine Shu caught him in time, knelt down, looked at him, and said solemnly: "You can't say anything like what you did just now to anyone again, including your father."

"I understand." Zhao Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "I don't even want to be the emperor, so of course I won't tell others..."

Seeing him running out, Concubine Shu let out a long sigh of relief.

The road to seizing the heir is so dangerous and life-threatening at every turn. At such a young age, how could he possibly be able to fight against several royal brothers?

Chen Huang walked in from outside, looked back and said, "Yuan'er didn't go out to play today?"

"I just came back." Concubine Shu shook her head and said helplessly: "This child is getting more and more playful."

"If he likes to play, let him play." Huang Chen said nonchalantly: "I don't want him to have any talent for governing the country. There is nothing wrong with being an idle prince from now on."

Concubine Shu smiled and changed the subject: "I just heard that something happened in the Golden Palace, and Your Majesty was very angry..."

"I'm not angry at all." Emperor Chen smiled and said, "I'm very happy today. I've never been as happy as I am today since I came to the throne. It's a pity that Concubine Shu didn't see those people being pointed at the nose by me. The scene of scolding..., but it was a happy ending, but what the boy wrote was so difficult to remember, I almost forgot the lyrics..."

Concubine Shu said in surprise: "Which boy?"

"Of course it's Tang Ning." Chen Huang said: "Those words he wrote are all written in my heart. The biggest concern of my elder Chen has never been the grassland and the Western Regions. It's just above this court. They are in front of the court. They are officials, but they only care about their own interests. In the long run, if the country is not dragged down by external things, it will die in their hands first!"

Concubine Shu held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I have just made soup. Your Majesty, try it while it's hot..."

Emperor Chen drank the soup, and Concubine Shu suddenly thought of something and said: "Your Majesty, the birthday of the old lady of the Fang Mansion is coming soon, and I want to go home to see you."

"It should be." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "I asked the inner government to prepare a generous gift for you."

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Chen looked at her and said mysteriously: "In addition, I also have a big gift to give you."?

Concubine Shu looked at him and asked doubtfully: "What kind of gift?"

Chen Huang smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

……

The capital has not been peaceful these days. The Ezhou incident has caused a lot of commotion, and even Prime Minister Feng has been involved. Even ordinary people know that something big will happen in the near future.

But no one thought that this big event would be so big.

More than a dozen Jiangnan officials were dismissed and never hired. Feng Xiangming resigned and retired, but almost everyone knew that he was also dismissed by His Majesty because of the Jiangnan incident.

The Ezhou incident was actually just a trivial matter in the court, but it was this trivial matter that involved so many earth-shattering events.

Feng Xiang's line was almost uprooted, and the Jiangnan faction suffered heavy losses. Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel temporarily took over the position of right prime minister. In this way, the position of Minister of Personnel will be vacant again, and it is unknown who will eventually take it.

Even the structure of the imperial court has changed because of this small incident of arrogance of the official minister.

Of course, even Ezhou in the south of the Yangtze River could recover 500 million taels of silver, which shocked the people of the capital.

One state in the south of the Yangtze River is worth half a year's worth of the national treasury. With the two rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, a few officials can collect millions of silver taels, but the national treasury has to think twice about hundreds of thousands of silver taels for disaster relief. Jiangnan is so rich, and Prime Minister Feng is the leader. Officials in Jiangnan want the court to reduce taxes in Jiangnan. Not to mention that His Majesty can't bear it, even the people in Beijing can't bear it if they find out...

……

Shangshu province.

Feng Xiang stood in front of the Shangshu Yamen. His originally gray hair had turned gray, and his body was completely hunched over.

Wang Xiang walked to his side and sighed: "Why is this happening?"

Prime Minister Feng said in a hoarse voice: "I have worked hard for my country all my life. I also want to ask Your Majesty... why is this so?"

"I will answer your Majesty's words to Prime Minister Feng." Wang Prime Minister looked at him and said: "On the grassland, the Wanyan tribe is squinting, the country of Xiaowan in the Western Region is about to move, and the Western Fan on the plateau is also moving toward unification. At this time , Jiangnan must not be messed up..."

Prime Minister Wang sighed softly and said: "Prime Minister Feng is a direct minister. As a direct minister, you must not have selfish motives. In the past, Your Majesty could tolerate your selfish motives, but now, the situation has changed..."
